I wonder if the formation of an i-motif could change the behavior of the "normal" DNA code. Like a flag on a function to slightly change how it works.

Could make certain parts of reading normal double helix DNA a no-op, for example by accumulating parts before they can be read.

Another idea is maybe this is just a structure for temporary memory for use in a more complex "algorithm".

We used to think DNA was just mostly static data but now it seems there is some computation going on.

If not computation to change behavior, maybe the i-motif act like a check sum to make sure a complex or essential part of DNA isn't corrupted (by a storage failure or a virus)

Good to see that you made a success of the newsletter.

Your newsletter was one of the few that I tried to read at least weekly.

That said I did not subscribe despite enjoying the free subscription:

The value proposition was not there in my personal case:

* I get dozens of newsletters in my inbox daily, so paying for one would feel really weird, I'd almost feel forced to read it daily.

* Your curated content while generally of high quality also has their own ads/promotions, so it is like paying for Netflix and getting broadcast TV commercials. Happens when you pay for cable.

* big overlap with HN and appropriate subreddits, I was getting maybe 20-30% new content.

Psychologically the biggest aversion to paying was because it was a heavy upsell from a formerly free product.

I've seen free -> paid conversions happen to many online services over some 20+ years and it always feels a bit of a deception.

I thought that Versioning was a completely SitePoint owned product and that normal cross-sells with their affiliate web hosts would ensure that you the curator would get paid appropriately.

By comparison I binge buy Udemy courses on their never ending sales because the value proposition feels higher.
> An infinitely long random sequence will probably hold every pattern possible (I'm not a mathematician so correct me if I'm wrong) but any structured or repeating sequence doesn't.

This is not true. Pi is probably irrational, which means we know it doesn't repeat itself. However, it is not proven to be normal, so it's a conjecture (but not fact) that it contains every finite sequence of digits at some point.
This is pretty much the basis of the common law system. We write laws defining general principles, and then let the courts sort out the specifics. We don't really know what the law is until we have some court cases about it. The court cases use precedent to keep things consistent.

The alternative is to have really, really detailed laws, like in civil law systems that don't use stare decisis.
Yeah, kind of. True or not, I feel the assumption is that if I ask a sensible question or give a good answer, I must be a guy. I don't bother to correct, given the environment, so the stereotype is reinforced. But at the same time, I do want that gender ambiguity so I am treated as an equal. It's a funny catch-22.

"They" is a good compromise.

That (about Germany) is only partially true. Sure, the whole german state made the reunification financially possible but most of the state owned stuff (economic land & buildings etc) ended up being owned by the Bund and not the federal states. Most of it was (and still is) privatized while the federal states, citites and people having not much money which lead to many (somewhat richer) people from the west being able to buy cheap property, land and some profitable companies.

So to sum my points up: I could totally be in the South Koreans interest to reunify in order to buy cheap property in the north (and at the same time a very good reason for North Koreans to not want it, even though they would gain an immediate financial benefit through it).

I strongly doubt it has anything to do with Trump or the US. NK has been thumbing its nose at the US for decades in spite of all the embargoes and sanctions. And Trump has not done anything significant - he's just full of bluster and hot air which anyone outside of the US (and most of the US too) know.

This has everything to do with NK and regional politics. I wouldn't be surprised if this has more to do with China seeing an opportunity to force the US off the Korean peninsula under the guise of a peace treaty and they are using NK to achieve this aim.
It'd be a bit unfair to say that to IBM if they're not.
Yes, the sanctions strangled the North Korean economy and they were actually enforced this time around. China had too much pressure from the US to violate the sanctions.

Kim probably felt that his rule was coming to an end if he didn't cave in.

Beware of technology-generated outrage. If you can encode a message, image, etc. as a number, some messages, like a communication of a specific threat against a specific person, or certain types of porn, that's going to result in "illegal numbers." When put that way, the outrage is pretty weak.

It is legitimate and provably effective to legally limit the demand for some items, like ivory, for example, by making it contraband, interdicting trade, and punishing possession.

So what is the outrage actually about? A lot of it is about corporations asserting property rights in publishing and enforcing those supposed rights in ways that result in bad decisions, bad designs, bad products, insecure systems, and bad uses of law enforcement related to computing.

The solution isn't to "make all numbers legal" because that's not the question. The solution is to address the problems in the real world, where they make sense. Limit copyright terms. Limit laws to publisher-scale theft for profit. And that boils down to nerfing corporate money in politics.

I would argue that they're pretty much controlled by one foreign power, China, given that they're heavily dependent on imports from China because of the sanctions.

So if they enter into treaties that lead to the lifting of sanctions, they could actually gain freedom (from China) by giving up other freedoms (to stockpile nukes etc.).
Yup, just because something can be done by a "grunt" does not mean that there isn't skill required to do it well.

I'm familiar with Compton scattering (I did the experiment), but that is scattering from a charge(d particle). I would have expected Dyson to write "light scattering from an electric charge" or perhaps "from an electron" if he meant Compton scattering.

I still read Dyson's sentence as light scattering from an electrostatic field (not clear if it would scatter from a homogenous field, or only gradients in electric field).

Could others please chime in, and confirm SiempreViernes response, or enlighten us both?

Yeah, but what about the flip side?

There's a big difference: Hitler had the capability to launch a successful aggressive war. Kim, without a doubt, does not. And no amount of military buildup will get him to equal footing with the Western powers poised to massively retaliate if he provokes war.

For example, there typically seems to be a cost associated with maintaining resistance, and particularly maintaining multiple forms of resistance, and strains will often drop resistance absent constant selection pressure.

It's an interesting angle to explore. Especially with respect to China.
If you look at just denuclearization it's pretty unclear how China ties into it. Some think China can produce goodwill by "helping" with NK. That NK was a strain on the US-China relationship.
But consider the possibility that NK doesn't just denuclearize but also falls out of China's orbit. Now it becomes clear diplomacy with NK could be a key part of Trump's anti-China policy.

The talks are already moving at a pace very few predicted. China has already been bypassed. It might have been a crazy theory a month ago, not anymore. The momentum is there.
Ordinary SSL certificates only require you to have access to domain's DNS records, or to the server where they point to. They only prevent MITM attacks, and you cannot really know who is behind some domain.

With the EV certs, you can be assured that it actually belongs to the company it claims to belong. If I see "PayPal, Inc. (US)" in the address bar, I'm sure I'm accessing the correct server. However, I didn't really know that business names are not unique between different US states, but I assume this is not the case for other countries.

The issue with EV certs is how they are presented in the browser, since they are indistinguishable to the ordinary certs, at least to the majority of the users.

What point? Let me inform you of something. When I was growing up, I remember quite clearly being teased and bullied because I liked to read a lot and I liked messing around with computers. The peer group I surrounded myself with were other people just like me who also put up with the merciless bullying. Everybody else self-selected out of my peer group and did everything they could to make me feel lesser because of my interests. But now all of a sudden the internet and smartphones catch on and now coding is "cool". And the same people that selected themselves out of my group now accuse me of being "xenophobic" and "homogeneous". The fucking gall.

There is actually an insane correlation between abuse and sex.
Draw what inferences you will from this, but women in abusive relationships overwhelmingly report having fantastic sex lives.

If true, it seems like the research backing this up wouldn't be shouted from the rooftops because it makes people uncomfortable, but I'm unable to find anything backing up your fairly wild claim.

In fact, here's a study showing the opposite (from what I can tell): https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5296519/#b14

That study references this one: https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007%2Fs10896-015-9744-...

From that second study: For both men and women, greater increases in victimization were related to lower satisfaction.

Would love to see any research backing up your claim.
Sorry to hear about your dad's injuries.
Exactly. I think there's a huge flaw in even the toned-down version of that that both sexes buy into -- making a dating profile (or just their public personality) as generically appealing as possible. Yes, highlighting your travel and exercise pics to the exclusion of all else will probably get you more dates.. but how satisfying will the connection generally be? "Likes: food, laughter, exercise, travel, dogs" tells me maybe 1% of the information I need to know to determine compatibility.. especially when most people are exaggerating the importance of the travel and the exercise in their daily life. So the 'matches' made on those generic terms, in my experience, are largely unsatisfying and based on physical attraction -- not exactly the recipe for a rewarding long-term relationship.

Meanwhile, the people who were bold enough to actually talk about their more individualized interests got my attention and resulted in some great conversation and dates, even if they didn't result in relationships.

I fell into the trap in my 20's of being generically appealing. I did very well in the 'dating' market, had attractive partners, married a particularly beautiful one. Then I realized that 'success rate' meant squat other than a minor ego boost, and I was stuck with a person attracted to generically appealing me and not ME. And physical attraction fades.

Luckily I got out of that situation, started representing myself accurately, and I live in a large enough city to be able to find at least some women online who do the same. The conversation, dates, and relationships have been SO much more rewarding, because the people connect with ME and not a generically appealing version of me.

I think being generically appealing does build confidence, and confidence is important. But hopefully redpillers and all the generic profile creators online can eventually see the value of specificity.. and attracting quality over quantity. I think it'll breed a lot more happy relationships.

Are you really asking if it's possible to forbid information? It's possible because they have people with guns who will physically take you to jail. But maybe you mean: is it just? I'm generally libertarian-leaning, but there are obvious cases where the government has a legitimate interest in restricting some speech, and those categories are well-defined (although everyone debates on the margins, all the time).

Whenever this attempt at reductio-ad-absurdem comes up, I find it pretty unconvincing. It's not that they are banning a number, just like if you make certain images illegal you're not banning "light" and if you make slander illegal you're not banning "sound, which is just vibrations in the air." Describing the medium of speech is kind of silly, because the point is the information contained in the media. The fact that the law addresses abstract concepts isn't exactly groundbreaking.
So where does this leave sticker albums (Panini, etc) or any other collectable that does not serve what is seen as a generally practical purpose in the World? (don't think that digital vs. physical should play a part in this)

In gambling you are mostly doing it for a clear financial gain: you play for money/fiat. Loot boxes, sticker albums, and so on, the primary purpose is not a financial gain. That is a byproduct and secondary, which some elect to make it their primary purpose for engaging in it.

IMO this is a symptom of people not being able to manage their finances properly and identify potentially destructive behaviours. This would push the solution for the problem to Education, how schools should help people in learning the skills necessary to both manage their money and notice when a certain behaviour they are about to engage in, or repeat one too many times, will produce a generally negative outcome for their mental and financial health.

And no, I'm not a fan of loot boxes. Never bought one and think they are mostly used by the publishers in a very bad, and silly, way.

Could that just be an observational effect? That it's maybe been historically easier for mentally ill women to hide at home, and for genius women to not be discovered? I realize I'm asking a question we can't answer at the moment, but I bring it up because we've "recently" (I'm old) learned that girls can struggle in school just like boys, but their problems go undetected because they behave in class and teachers are less likely to look for problems. The crisis has always been the 7th grade boy who can't read- it turns out there are a lot of 7th grade girls who can't read either, but they were undiagnosed.

My guess is that their nuclear program is a failure. While this collapse may not be the absolute cause, I'm assuming they've had much bigger related issues, and are no longer able to sustain their threats. Combine that with the number of sanctions on them, they really have no choice.
