Apple could feasibly go further and do integration with macOS Siri as well down the line I'd imagine - Google can't do that nearly as deeply.
> Russia loves to brag about weapons that can overcome US defenses because people for some reason have forgotten that the top-level strategic "defense" is not an impenetrable wall of interception systems -- which literally no nation on earth has the budget to effectively maintain, even the US, because the economics of intercept are terrible -- but rather the policy of mutually assured destruction.

No, Russia likes to heavily advertise weapons that can penetrate US missile defenses as a means of reinforcing MAD; any power’s decision-makers gaining (justified or not) confidence in even limited survivability due to workable defenses undermines MAD.

This is also the same reason all parties want to project an air of confidence in their defenses; they want to appear unconstrained by MAD (so that they can use nuclear threat, implicit or explicit, to influence rival powers non-nuclear-attack actions) while the other side remains constrained (so that the assured destruction, at least in political effect, is not mutual.)
Could you give some examples of the hidden biases introduced by the theses? I presume you don't mean the way the theses are written, as in for or against the motion, instead of as a question?
The best way to learn programming is to make it a habit to spent long hours of your time in front of a computer practicing by picking up a book to teach you programming. Choose the topic you want to learn , a project you want to build , pick a book and learn it. Spend each day writing code for a few hours 5-6 Hrs preferably or more. And in 3 months you will become better, in 6 six even better. Also reach out for help, find what else is happening in that field , keep coming to HN. And you will be on the right path.
The best you could say is that of all the Federalist paper authors, AH writes most similarly to John Titor. But really, we all know Titor is Larry Haber.
Perhaps it's already there, but I wonder if shortcuts will be able to be shared or there will be a library for them. So someone can pre-define all sorts of stuff, then I as a "basic" user can just add the shortcut vs. having to "program" it myself.

Unfortunately, based on some quick reading, the technique is regulated in many areas and used only in cases where some specific genetic disease is suspected. This artificial limitation is a disgrace.

We were doing speech recognition 20 years ago without any kind of networking. I dictated part of a term paper in 1995. Dragon Dictate I think is what it was called. You could even navigate the word processor menus and UI with it, or say things like “make that bold” and it usually worked! Just a bit less often often than Siri works actually.

Sure it was more of a novelty, and had to be trained on your voice. But that was 20 years ago.
Great question! I would wager that both occur.

Each disease will have slightly different genetics, but Huntington's disease provides a good example. There, we know that some individuals have a predisposition to developing the disease - this bias results from having over a certain threshold of repeating DNA bases in the Huntingtin gene.

Here's an accessible discussion of Huntington's and similar diseases: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3175376/ .
Seems a bit harsh to wish the suffering that this will cause on literally billions of people to prove a point, when we can intervene now instead.
Keep working at it. Believe in yourself and your capabilities (as corny as it sounds). It really is about perseverance. If you find the frustration is wearing you down and making you feel hopeless, don't torture yourself doing work you don't want to do. With that said, if you feel a rush when things do click and that drives you, I think you'll do fine.

There are few prodigies in the field. Most people make it through sheer work ethic and self-belief. Do everything you can to hangout with other passionate people (if they're more skilled than you even better). The best way to do this is just get your foot in the door somewhere. Do whatever it takes. One year in a work environment gaining real world experience is priceless and your skills will skyrocket if you challenge yourself and step outside your comfort area.

Best of luck to you (whether you continue pursuing programming or something else)!

PS: For what it's worth, just understanding the above problem you described is half the battle. The other half is getting comfortable implementing different algorithms. For this, you can seriously just copy paste someone's solution from stack exchange and execute the code to observe the effects of your tweaks. It's kind of like how most people need to practice solving the math problems before being able to grasp the concepts behind the solution.
You're still flushing all the other embryos down the drain. It doesn't seem as awful as lots of other shit that happens every day, but it's certainly sketchy enough that I wouldn't do it. Humans are not livestock.

We can 3d print ultrasounds now [1], so really the issue is how wide spread we can deploy the tech and what the mother wants. But in time we'll understand how conjoining happens and maybe prevent this example.

In 1918 doctors didn't know what a virus really was. It could just hijack a cell to reproduce. Measles were a much more real threat, so they focused on that. 18 months later between 3 and 6% of the world's population was dead.

The 21st century will see things we dream of. We can modify t-cells with crispr to attack childhood cancer. There's a HIV vaccine that was successful in human trials [2].
Have a little more hope.

YES! Fantastic book and such enjoyable reading. And I love the built-in lifehack it suggests for reading just certain passages and type styles if you are in a hurry, then diving deeper on the sections you need to. I have both books and would find it hard to choose just one. A Pattern Language is more famous but this one is a really good complement to it.
I also think this is going to revolutionise the TouchBar.

The ability to have contextual shortcuts could be pretty powerful.
The attacker's assumed capability is arbitrary execution locally.

Assuming an attacker is running as a separate user from the secret they want to steal (reasonable assumption, in my opinion) they need a vulnerability in the kernel, or some service running as root. Probably the kernel.

SGX pushes that further - you need a vulnerability in the hardware.

The attack surface of your hardware is < the attack surface of your hardware + kernel, so it seems like a win.

We'll continue to see attacks against hardware, but this is still a technology worth exploring.
Are there ways to provide a "counter claim" that refutes a positive claim?
Dude this is the third millennium, not the second.
That quote confuses “intuitive” with “instinctive”; “intuitive” means that it is usable by intuition, which is largely, but perhaps not entirely, learned (though much of it involves applying learned patterns outside of the context in which they were learned), not by instinct, which is inborn. Intuition might be viewed as including instinct as a non-learned component, but it is not at all identical to instinct.

EPA – new reg restricts kinds of studies they can use when it develops policies
True. And most of their fundraising targets people who can afford to donate thousands of dollars. So whose problems do you think they are listening to and writing legislation to resolve? Put more people in the group that can donate makes more donors and gives us a larger pool of people who can afford to run for office.
What is the difference between the Zeeman effect and the Stark effect?
Yea the site looks a bit disorganized and crackpotty. Perhaps because its translated from french?

You can find videos of them on youtube actually making these stone blocks though. The method works. Based on how long it took a small team to make a couple on their first attempt, it could be a hundred or even thousand times more efficient than carving them out and transporting them.

So if I were going to build a large limestone pyramid that's how I would do it.
That just changes the risk profile of deciding to execute a trade vs the predictable outcome. It may be more costly or less costly than existing approaches.

Ordinary users will just pick prepackaged workflows out of the gallery.

You can't and we aren't. What is considered rational, is often cultural and builds on very different epistemological systems.

Thus all you can do in a collaborative reasoning platform like ours, is give everybody the tools to portray their reasoning as well as they can.

E.g. an underlying reason for somebody's arguments might be the existence of God. An atheist would consider this irrational, but the logic, given the underlying thesis, might be sound. So in the end, we are going to debate epistemology. Something, I feel, we don't do enough.

Nor are we taught in school enough how (utility vs happiness) to evaluate the different epistemological systems.

Which is your favorite Jira/Trello alternative and why?
Jira & Trello are great tools, but Jira might be overly complicated to a few and Trello is a little under-powered for bigger teams.

Have you ever considered alternatives to these tools? What is your favorite alternative to Jira/Trello?

Disclaimer - I am a part of the team of a Jira alternative called Codegiant.io and this post is to learn user feedback and improve our tool further based on that.
Dirty secret is/was that risk adjustment was often gamed by large insurers, so in that sense I agree it was a flawed program that disproportionately impacted small insurers with fewer resources to invest in a risk adjustment strategy and insurers with healthier than average populations which would have to pay into the program (which, combined with playing against "dirty" tactics used by large insurers probably meant overpaying into the program).

Health insurance is in general a weird business. People are dehumanized as a series of diseases. With risk adjustment insurers are literally trying to game these payments by trying to make you look sicker than you actually might be by chasing you down and coding you as having X or Y so they get more of these payments.

Nice! Page should state the overhead clearly -- don't let people discover that the hard way. The paper says 2-30x, and 3.3-5.7x is typical. I'm not surprised. And it's preferable to state it and not pull any punches -- it sets expectations and lets us take precautions when running it.

Queue the top 10% heartless, utopian, clueless people whom have never had to go hungry espouse their rhetoric about "reform" when it's a transfer of wealth from the poor to the rich with blood money because that's exactly what Medic-Aid and SNAP cuts are. There are systemic problems in the US with many programs being inconsistent and incomplete, but arbitrary, giant changes and cuts don't demonstrate leadership.

If it helps, I believe Google no longer heavily weighs keywords in domains because of the proliferation of names like coffee-maker-review.com.

There's a reason there aren't many high-value brands like "Table Manufacturing Company". Airbnb isn't "Other Person's House Rental", either.

Go with the name that can be the best brand. That might still be somewhat descriptive, but it doesn't have to be a synopsis of the site.
Why did the boat can't stop "becoming light" at the end? Is there a point where you can't decelerate?
Despite equity being worth nothing, that doesn't mean that employees are all fucked. If the company is actually buying the company for the capability they provide, rather than just customers+brand, there are usually generous offers at the new company for those that the acquiring company wants to ensure stay.
Cool. I was thinking about something like this for a long time. We need tools for more effective collective thinking.
Formaldehyde

Background play (without ads) is perhaps the only feature I use newPipe for
A friend of mine speculated that total surveillance (and thus control) of society will eventually make the world consistent in logical terms.

Which necessarily makes it incomplete following Gödel's incompleteness theorems. Here completeness refers to diversity: to maximize completeness is to encourage genetic (and memetic) variation. If society is consistent, such a proposition becomes absurd.

It's an interesting thought experiment, and I don't think the consistent state is reversible. Luckily it requires that all of the world (intelligentsia) agree on the same set of rules, so there's still time.

Taking this argument to the extreme: perhaps the reason we haven't met civilisations from other worlds is simply that they all made the same logical error once the tech was available.

I visited Nacimiento del Río Mante on a spring break caving trip to Mexico ten years ago. We were a group of dry cavers headed back from the Aquismon area. We camped by the spring and I fondly remember swimming on top at night and exploring the small amount of dry cave there. The stream of water coming up was ridiculously strong and very warm. It was a surreal feeling, looking up at the stars and moon, knowing that below your feet there was almost a thousand feet of water extending hundreds of feet below sea level. I remember thinking that Exley's depth record there felt like reaching the moon in terms of exploration.
> Effective altruism is only arguing how we should ration the resources we've already allocated to helping people.

I'm not sure how to determine what "effective altruism" is arguing, but prominent EA advocates like Will MacAskill and Peter Singer are absolutely concerned with increasing the amount of money allocated to helping people. The conclusion of Singer's most famous argument is that we have a moral imperative to donate most of our money to saving the most lives. Even personally, both live modestly and donate most of their income.
Good articles summarizing relationship between formaldehyde and cancer: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3893912/ (nasopharyngeal) and https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2839060/ (leukemia)
You'll be pleased to know that the results in iOS 12 instantly reveal the first four-matching installed apps. (Instantly meaning "I can't really determine how long it takes, because it's probably somewhere under 100ms")

All of the other stuff loads very quickly. Mail results are very very quick (over 3 inboxes containing over 100,000 mail items), and then a-bit-less-quick for the Siri search suggestions.

I'm actually shocked at how much iOS 12 improved responsiveness.

I think this says more about top end compensation, rather than startup compensation. The effect is going to be top end employees not really being early employees at startups, but that's not necessarily bad.
Thanks. The best term we have found for it yet is collaborative reasoning platform, but that's a bit of a mouthful.
You sure tried to inflate that bubble though by starting to use this forum, and you know that it was a disingenuous attack.
What an interesting way to go about making an uncomfortable but important decision. This is Google's platform and they should do with it what they want, it's incredible how much search has changed our interaction with our phone. There isn't a day that goes by where I'm not finding everything I need with a quick google search.

If google doesn't control the searches end to end on android they would have missed out on some good innovations like instant apps and google now. I love that this is one aspect of this totalitarian control they didn't compromise on, cuz it's keeping them in the dominant position with a good flow of data coming in!
I am amused that such statement is even possible, as if, someone just lost their common sense and start to reason China in a way that is exactly opposite of what they believed to be common sense.

To be fair, I spent first 24 years of my life in China. Your idea were never appeared in any form of discussion when I was there. I did not even fancied about such explanation.

All in all, I assume you want to have a reasonable discussion.

To your point, no, those bars are not for preventing staff falling.
I initially thought this was a SlashDot reference [http://wiki.c2.com/?AnonymousCoward], and not intended to suggest that the commit itself is cowardly. But it seems like this is the only change by that user [https://www.google.com/search?q=site%3Ahttps%3A%2F%2Fandroid...], so I guess it was intended to make a statement.
The frame of reference is at the exchange. Having incredibly precise time synchronization among computers at the exchange would allow distribution of order acceptance for a given symbol without losing ordering. You could give each HFT a cabinet with your order acceptance port at the back and a processing computer exactly the same distance away from the port. Order processing could run asynchronously from order acceptance, and resort according to accpetance time in batches. This would eliminate complaints about such and such company being three fempto meters closer than me, so they get better execution.
This is why I love open source (as in source-available, not necessarily free-software). Transparency trumps everything.

Whoever chose to commit anonymously (or gave the order to) knew they were doing something shitty and didn't feel comfortable doing it "in public".

It doesn't prevent things like that from happening but it makes you question if it's the right thing to do. Sometimes that's the best we can hope for.

It sounds like you're not very satisfied with how your coding practice is going. If you have the resources, I would definitely recommend trying to find a tutor to do 1-on-1 sessions with. I've seen a lot of the behaviors you mention in people I've tutored.

This is especially relevant if you think your disability is affecting the quality of your practice. You made need to engage in different strategies to get the most out of practice. (or to manage the kinds of problems you're working on).

It's possible that you would have a lot of difficulty with a career in programming, but I wouldn't even consider that until a skilled tutor or two feel that way.
Or just get an agent hired at your company. At lot of companies don't even limit source access to devs. If they got someone in QA or sales with network access they might have enough to grab your code.
I don't think pointing out that there is a conflict of interest by the author of a public marketing piece is getting personal.

If Mark Zuckerberg posts something to the effect of: "guys what we do isn't that hard, we should probably get paid less", I'd call him out on it too and I hope other people would as well. I certainly wouldn't consider that a personal attack.

Even though one could rhetorically try to make the case that 'employees are investors' ... really, in any common sense of the term, they are not. Employees are compensated with equity, they are not investors. Not even founders would be referred to as investors, unless they've put a meaningful amount of cash up for equity.
