The wikipedia page about antibiotics resistance (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antimicrobial_resistance) adds some interesting points on why we are falling behind on the race for the discovery of new antibiotics.
The TLDR is it's currently not economically convenient for big pharmaceutical companies to invest in antibiotics research but several measures have been taken in order to make it better and, hopefully, will allow us to catch up on the race.

My experience is to the contrary. Every spin lock I have seen uses more than one pause instruction. Some may start with one and then execute more. They all involve a loop over pause instruction(s). I don't think that's the problem per se. The problem is more likely the back-off logic.

I don't think it's just new accounting rules since this was the preferred model in the past, too, for the obvious reasons. It broke when the PC revolution hit and direct sales to consumers became the dominant business for most vendors but the customers couldn't be assumed to have any network connectivity or even someone who'd install upgrades if you paid the non-trivial cost to ship them.

Now most vendors can assume reasonable network connectivity that's not a constraint and the recurring monthly revenue is quite appealing.
How to create a workflow in Apache Airflow to track disease outbreaks in India
My wife is probably single-highhandedly causing retailers that she favors to fail. I feel for them.

She orders a ton of clothes online and then returns something around 75% of it. They give her free shipping and they take the returns in store at no cost. She prefers to order when there are sales.

What she is doing is completely logical and encouraged by their policies but I do not understand how they make any money?

It’s healthy to step back and consider how rare, in our world today and across human history, such an expression of the rule of law is. As fashionable as political cynicism may be, patience has a place before one reacts to every scandal with presuming the powerful and guilty will walk free. (It’s an unfortunate way inattentiveness produces a self-fulfilling prophesy.)
Good. More ceos should be arrested and jailed if companies ignore the law under their watch. Their “rogue engineer” excuse was laughable.
I got a pair of clarks desert boots a couple of years ago and they've lasted ages even though I'm tall and heavy. I thought the crepe soles might wear down quickly but they're still good. I usually have real trouble with soles as I walk almost everywhere and they wear down quickly on cheaper shoes.

Here in the UK, CDBs are £80 vs the £200 you're talking about (or $70 vs $170 that I can see on amazon.com).

Basically avoid really cheap, but you don't have to go to $200 though.

Also, we seem to be in a weird spot fashion wise right now. Hipster fashion doesn't seem to be fading. Reddit's MFA (male fashion advice) was recommending chukka boots and white trainers like 6 years ago and we're still there, same with skinny suits, etc.

Fashion, while apparently highly disposable for women, seems to have stabilized for men. MFA talk about "timeless" pieces, but in reality wearing chukkas, white trainers or slim suits in the 90s or early 2000s would have made you look like a plonker. When I was young Doc Martins were cool, then they weren't, now they kinda are again? I also remember Hush Puppies with a particular look were cool that really aren't today.

Same with dress shoes too, black, square fronted dress shoes were considered good, while pointy brown dress shoes were incredibly old fashioned. Now it's the other way around.

Thank you. Well, the way I understand it: her treatment history won’t be considered by any other doctor than her own. The reason for that is that she wasn’t part of a proper medical study.

However, I believe there is value in her data. The last days she was treated with an experimental drug. If there was an open database on all cases with treatment history I could have looked into that and get a feeling what to expect. These things often come with huge side effects, so you want to do it only if there is a slight chance.

Also, if this data was collected globally, the number of reference cases would be much larger.

More data is good.

It's better if this becomes an ethical/moral problem about when to care for patients and to what degree, rather than a guessing game problem while anybody's guess is as good as anybody else's.
Why did they just use a logistic model instead of survival/time-to-event model?

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21478775

Uses cox regression model which is a survival regression model.

Also the base model aka previous model they're comparing it to is a logistic regression and the link leads to a pdf about how to increase hospital efficiency it seems like. This sounds stupid and heartless.

In statistic we got survival analysis, a whole branch that is focus on patient and their survival rate for the medical field. Google chose to compare to a paper and algorithm that focus on what seems like making hospital more money instead.

I've seen a lot of data science people goes into different field and just telling people they can make money for them. It's great but with healthcare I don't think people should be treated as dollar signs.

If anybody up and coming wants to use data science in bio, I would encourage them to look into statistic and biostatistic. We have tons of stuff already and then branch out to ML later. But at least know what's out there and there are establish organization, nonprofit out there too that all they do is biostat and build model. My friend works at a nonprofit child oncology.

I just want to point out there are people that's building model to help patient with terrible sickness out there to survive. We're not diddling our thumbs trying to make other people richer.

A Practical Multi-Word Compare-And-Swap
Bought a pair of white chucks that I loved. Bought a second pair 6 months later. I would buy a 3rd pair if they still made them, but they don't.
I consider myself a skilled programmer that is aware enough of low level issues to usually write faster alternatives to any "not quite optimal" code on the first try, without resorting to any micro-optimization. That includes rewriting code that makes use of libraries like STL of which most people will just say "dude, you are insane, you can't be faster than the STL. They put so many man-years of effort into that".

But it rarely matters how much work you put into something to make it faster. What matters is what you can avoid to do at all.

I have pretty much zero knowledge of CPU-level issues and barely know enough x86 assembler to read my compiler's output. I have never cared for optimizations like inlining code, vectorization or tail call elimination. I have tried inlining a few times, and the speed-ups it brought were negligible. (And the slow-downs that too much of inlining brings, by increasing code size and thereby increasing cache pressure, must be very subtle and basically unmeasurable, while being potentially enormous. And the disadvantages from a maintainability standpoint are considerable as well).

If you have to care about these things, then maybe you're doing too much work. (Well, I guess I would use vectorization/SIMD if I had to write a video codec, but I've never done that).

> I'm wondering: why not make every returned value implicitly of type Either with Left some generic type?

Because then you lose the ability to have code that doesn't error. If you explicitly mark those parts of your code that can error, you can then start to decouple those parts that can error from those that will never error. E.g. you can separate the business logic which figures out which database query you need to run (which can't error) from the code that actually performs database queries (which contains timeouts, retry logic etc.), and then you can test those two things separately and make sure you've covered all the cases. Whereas with pervasive/implicit exceptions, every line of your business logic might throw an exception (or might not throw an exception now, but later be refactored to throw one), so you need to test a combinatorial number of cases (or, more likely, your tests won't cover some code paths).
TIL- will check it out
I see it as a sort of purgatory- you don't want to do anything too involved because real work could intrude at any moment and make you lose your place, but doing nothing at all is too boring. You end up doing the equivalent of consuming brain junk food.

A company of significant size will always have cracks that can be fallen through, and accounting and payment systems are often so automatic that no central authority will ever notice unless it’s brought to their attention. Such places usually assume middle management’s responsibility is to flag cases that need attention, but if things shake out such that a person winds up disconnected from the broader org tree like in this case it’s entirely possible that nobody notices for months or years.

I think this will take some time. Right now, for a few years Prime, Netflix ,Apple etc are already putting in money for their own Originals. I don't exactly know the solution, but these players won't bundle right now for sure, nobody wants to lose leverage. I think Google might be playing smart or maybe they've lost already. They have already conceded that Netflix is far ahead. And, now they're bundling their premium shows with Youtube Music for additional 2-3 bucks a month. Their content strategy has been really poor. Frankly, Video is a sort of leverage tool for Apple, Amazon. But for Netflix, it's bread and butter. Also, read this article:

Routing to Finland seems to be quite horrible. Traffic is looping via Sweden in many cases based on latency. So connectivity on capital area (Helsinki, Espoo, Vantaa) is around 18ms instead of just ~2 ms.
I'm not disagreeing with what you say, because I too think the places you describe are often cool. However, they're also very much outside of the comfort zone of most people.

For example, on average I would assume most women prefer a romantic getaway to the Maldives over climbing a volcano in Iceland. And most people with kids likely won't be going on a month long roadtrip through Africa or South-America.
>My trick was to write the first word on each line, then the second, and so forth.

You basically used Taylor-esque division of labor with yourself. Doing the same task a lot usually you become faster and more efficient at it. If you only have yourself it still might be faster if the task is repetitive enough and your context switching time is less than the time you save by writing one word so many times.

>Customer A does not receive full medical support because "he's dying anyway"?

Unless the patient consents to stop or reduce care, this would be medical negligence, which is illegal (in the US). Medical providers are required by law to provide medical treatment with all the knowledge and skill they possess.
Probably you are referring to "Kodakchrome", which was actually amazing quality. Ektachrome was the cheaper, simpler to develop positive film.
Maybe the shipping costs plus the costs to manufacture the clothes she buys are less than what she pays for the clothes she keeps. Or maybe she's an outlier.

It only "makes sense" if you don't understand why you should finish your anti-biotics. And don't know or understand the alternative outcomes outside the reasoning you've proposed.

IE you feel better, aren't better, and risk re-infection.

It's probably much more effective overall to take the guesswork out and follow a consistent routine for each patient. If you give the patient the option to wing it, and they do and that doesn't work, they're not going to take responsibility for it. They'll blame everyone but themselves for a bad outcome.

My extremely limited understanding is that a given bacteriophage only attacks a very specific strain, and thus that you would need to constantly evolve them to fight new strains. While perhaps not useless, that doesn't sound like a replacement for antibiotics.
This is partially true. Her data can't be used willy nilly (sp?). Hospitals and doctors offices can use this data for their internal operations, to improve efficiency, quality, etc and (honestly) profit. They can also use this data in research, but only with IRB approval for exemption from consent. Her data should be protected!

Also, I would add that the data collected for routine patient care is often of significantly lesser quality than that collected as part of organized research studies. This is because in a research study, all patients get the same studies and tests whereas in clinical care, they only get what they need, so there is significant amounts of 'missing' data.
China has made progress in tackling financial risks

Right idea, poor execution
I'm seconding Sean on this. China has some competent bureaucrats, but they are not party members. Government finances for examples are ran by a lot of professional economists without party background in their majority. There, the party is simply too afraid to entrust this to its inept members. High finance for them is like a piece of old, but mission critical C++ spaghetti code from winnt days which with a sticker "don't touch, will explode on you."

It was in Jiang's times when things turned "position in the party !== automatic position in the government." Jiang was waaay to afraid of party members. He saw the party as a dual structure:

1. An assembly of oafs, and loosers

2. Along with a hornet's nest of Maoists, Hua-ists, Deng-ists, and 20 other "ists," all of whom were a threat to his rule.

So he simply decided to recruit technocrats from aside. All kinds of good boy Harvard graduates were perfect for that role, for them being politically insulated from the rest of Chinese politics. And as an added benefit, they can actually run the government more or less well.

What the CPP is today? In its majority, the same thing it was in Jiang's times, except Jiang is not the top dog anymore, and an average age went up even more.

What things can change? The party is getting older, and few young cadres they have come from communist families. Those amount to around a half of new members of twenties age cohort. The other half are just people for whom the party member card is nothing more than a way to get free rides on public transport, along with a very very very remote hope that this will get them to a position of prominence.

Xi came to power in large thanks to that cohort of party members who thought of themselves being marginalized, and thrown away to dustbin of history. His political platform inside the CCP was pretty much like "Make the party membership great again." But you guys probably know, every communist is very good at reneging at his promises, and Xi is not an exception. Aside for few symbolic nods, I don't think he will run the country in a manner much different from how things were in Jiang's era.

He himself is afraid of the colossus which is the CCP, for him it is also a dark lake full of his own set of "-ists" and, worse for him, people who are genuine reformers. He is much favoring the party becoming a seat of few gerantocrats who will be dying one after another.

BTW, the two dudes who voted against Xi on the last congress were Jiang and Hu.

> It’s equally plausible to me that Intel would have continued to see strong x86 sales and weak demand for Itanium and ended up shipping their own 64-bit extension a few years later with less pressure from AMD simply because businesses weren’t keen on the “recompile everything, make a bunch of expensive optimizations, and it might be faster than the system it’s replacing”

I agree it is plausible, but the "few" in "few years later" makes a huge difference. Itanium was not requested or driven by the market, not even wanted; it was dictated by Intel, who put in billions into it. Without any market pressure, they would have likely taken their sweet time - possibly 10 or more years - to let Itanium mature. They actually took the writeoff for Itanium as late as they could - I would guess no one wants to one such a colossal failure, and that would have been true even if AMD wasn't around.

While IA-64 originated in HP, as another poster noted, it was in Intel's interest that HP would be out of the CPU market, and in that sense Itanium was a success -- it left Intel in a much stronger position in the long run, and if it wasn't for you meddling AMD kids, they would have gotten away with it in the short run as well.
What cases are you thinking of, in particular?

Most of what comes to my mind (e.g. Equifax) would be claims falling under civil law, for which we don't arrest people.
> Medical providers are required by law to provide medical treatment with all the knowledge and skill they possess.

No, to avoid liability for malpractice, they need to meet the “professional standard of care”, which is assessed by general practice in the medical community, not “all the knowledge and skill” the individual provider possesses.
