I know virtually nothing about quantum computing, so can you give some examples? Whenever I've asked anyone who seemed to know anything about the field, all they can come up with is weather forecasting and simulating nuclear explosions. Not exactly "general use," as you put it.

In the back of my mind, I know that quantum computing is a big deal, and we're in ENIAC days with it. But I don't have a good understanding of where it goes or why.
>"There are no indels in your example, only nucleotide substitutions."

It works perfectly fine as an example. A single nucleotide change could be due to an indel:

"Indel is a molecular biology term for an insertion or deletion of bases in the genome of an organism. It is classified among small genetic variations, measuring from 1 to 10 000 base pairs in length,[1][2][3][4][5][6][7]"
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indel

>"There are six substitutions in 48 bases, for a per-base substitution rate of 12.5%. The fact that none of the individual cells contains 12.5% substitutions is totally irrelevant."

In the experiments they are counting how many cells contain a mutant (eg via GFP expression or not). Thus the number you want is percent of cells that contain a mutation at a given site.

You are the one calculating some other number... Remember what we are discussing? Its percent of cells with a given mutation and mutations per cell, the numbers I calculated:

>"There's no way cells survive with indels at 10% of their base positions, that's not possible."

>"You clearly have no idea what you are talking about."

There seems to be some heavy dunning-kruger going on with your post.

I appreciate that it's better than flash. I still don't think it is good UX.

Good UX is doing things the user expects when the user wants, and not presuming it is okay to take their attention when you see fit (ahem, popups).

It's almost always a compromise to a websites usability to include autoplaying video (or video alikes). It may even improve conversions, but it's definitely a UX compromise, not an improvement.

No one scrolls through a website and thinks "I sure hope I get interuppted on my way to the action I am trying to complete" even when that action is content discovery.

I did like some of the articles ideas though. I think the role of cinematography is overplayed a little bit, some of the suggestions are just good UX decisions.
I felt I shouldn't claim the first bills because I hadn't informed them before the procedure. And yes, because it turned out to be a fairly manageable bill. But the 2nd procedure was going to be considerably more, so I notified them. To clarify, I didn't want any long term care at all, I was only asking them to cover the 2nd operation that I was already scheduled in for.
This is why I said in another post you absolutely have to read and understand your policy before you experience a loss!!

Depends on the policy but I doubt there is a "somewhat comfortably" clause - if you want your insurance policy to cover you you generally have to follow what their policy requires and with cheapo insurance like this, if you are clear to fly, you are expected to fly home.

It's gonna be very difficult to get onto a plane and then claim you were unable to fly even if Singapore is a world closer to Indonesia than the UK.

I feel for this guy though, the situation sucks.

To play devil's advocate, I think data should be used to manage rates for things that a consumer can reasonably change, like diet/exercise. Smokers are already penalized.

e.g. "Our data indicates your average sugar consumption is over Xg per day over the last 6 months. If you commit to reducing this to Yg per day over the next 6 months, your insurance rate will drop by 10%. Otherwise rates will increase by 20% to cover your increased risk for diabetes, heart disease, and stroke."

Well, you could unify the interface to files and directories by removing all the system calls to deal with opening and closing and reading and writing files, and then removing all the system calls to deal with opening and closing and reading and writing directories, and then simply using ioctl() for everything!
Very good point. For some reason my brain equates a beater with an old or abused sedan. Seeing a beat up truck makes me think the truck was used well vs a beat up sedan that was not taken care of. My bias showing through, sorry!
Right, but I wouldn't call 5 days later "immediately following an accident". It boils down to the question of whether or not he was fit to fly back to the UK to have that surgery there. Even if he wasn't, the documentation he provided for that is lackluster and I don't blame the insurance company for rejecting it.
This was an interesting read, both the points made about durability, as well as the in-depth math. However, what stood out to me most was the line:

Because at these probability levels, it’s far more likely that:

- An armed conflict takes out data center(s).
- Earthquakes / floods / pests / or other events known as “Acts of God” destroy multiple data centers.
- There’s a prolonged billing problem and your account data is deleted.

The point that once you get to a certain point of durability (at least as far as hardware/software is concerned) you're chasing diminishing returns for any improvement. But the risks that are still there (and have been big issues for people lately) are billing issues. I think it's an important point that the operational procedures (even in non-technical areas like billing and support) are critical factors in data "durability"
I think it's that "typewriter" effect, probably some endless loop without any sleep.

There is presently no difference in accuracy between military and civilian GPS signals. The civilian / unencrypted stream is no longer intentionally degraded, as it once was (via "Selective Availability").

But there are still multiple datastreams, and the military one is still encrypted, and the military retains the ability to degrade or disable or degrade the civilian/unencrypted signal if circumstances require it, although it is hard to imagine a circumstance where this would be desirable, given the proliferation of civilian GPS receivers among military personnel, disruption to civil aviation / airlift capability, etc.

The military GPS signal from the Block III satellites is called "M-Code":

What does that mean? How do you factor in "evidence of guilt" without assuming guilt? That is absurd.

gascan nails it here - trucks have been slowly transforming into luxury vehicles. I bought a used F-150 quad cab and paid half what my ladyfriend paid for her Nissan Murano.

> AEI is basically on the same level with Brookings Institution, both have their ideological leanings but neither do necessarily bad work as a degree of policy is always about interpretation and argument on priorities.

That is incorrect, as far as I know. AEI exists to provide intellectual support to the desired policies of certain conservative groups, such as neocons[0] and the fossil fuel industry. AEI has long been a source of fossil fuel industry arguments against climate change action, for example[1]; you can predict AEI's 'research' conclusions on any issue based on the politics. Brookings is an independent research organization, non-partisan, and the world's most respected think tank by some measures.[2]

Of course Brookings has some biases and failings, but a false equivalency that says 'everyone has biases' is simply not the truth. Everyone is a liar, but some people are far more trustworthy than others; all code has bugs, but it's not all of equal quality.

I believe the thing to do is to get global medical insurance, not travel insurance. Yes, it’s going to be pricier, yes, if you don’t plan on flying back to your home country as soon as you’re out of an emergency situation it’s necessary.
That does not end up as a better alternative...

Conan Doyle was fascinating, I highly recommend the biography Teller of Tales, he was prescient about a lot of things (submarine warfare, other military issues during WWI) but also fooled by the rampant fraud in the spiritualist movement, like the Cottingley photographs.

This article makes it seem like he personally investigated the cases, he didn’t. What he did was help publicize them and write long book length summaries of the evidence to convince people. He also published a “pamphlet” on Belgian colonial exploitation of the Congo. He worked directly with the lawyers / investigators to get the facts and used his fame and writing ability to get public attention.

ICBMs and SLBMs use primarily inertial navigation (with a starting position provided from the launch facility); the stellar navigation systems correct it by adding a mid-course position fix.

I do not know for sure, but I would be willing to bet, that the missiles are capable of reaching their target with reasonable accuracy in the absence of the mid-course stellar fix, since in a nuclear war with enough exo-atmospheric detonations, it might not be possible to visualize the fixed stars at the right time (and a requirement to do this would be an obvious vulnerability for a missile defense system, e.g. you could hit the missile with a laser from a space platform at the right moment and spoof the stellar nav system).

> See the Roman Empire or England for example, neither has any shortage of bad emperors/kings and both avoided violent regime changes or subjugation by a foreign power for many hundreds of years

Violent regime change was quite common in the Roman Empire as most people use that term, and even in ~thousand years of Byzantine history after the final East/West partition of the Empire it's hard to find a period of more than a couple hundred years without violent regime change; I'm also having trouble finding “many hundreds of years” consecutively without violent regime change in England. I mean “3” is typically the minimum value meant by “a few” and doesn't qualify as “many”, and the last change of government of the UK by armed invasions was 330 years ago, and that seems to be the longest stretch England or the UK seems to have had without violent regime change.
There are states (I don't know how common) that require a base amount of insurance, so perhaps you were "lucky" in this regard that you didn't have to carry that cost.
I wonder if there's a general term in engineering for the case where a particular risk has been reduced well below the likelihood of more serious but exotic risks. I've heard about this most in cryptography where we can sometimes say that the risk of, say, a system failing due to an unexpected hash collision is drastically less than the risk of the system failing due to cosmic radiation or various natural disasters. At that point it doesn't seem important or worthwhile to consider this risk, because it's dwarfed by the others.

This seems like a form of the same argument, and I wonder where else this arises and how people describe it.
Good point, the multi-dimension thing is something that I haven't even consider when thinking about this.

> meaning your company is taking on all the risk

While I wouldn't say there aren't any companies out there that are absorbing the entire cost of insurance premiums, most are splitting this in some proportion with the employee.
We all live in distorted realities. Lots of people in laboratories think for part of the time, you need to be in those environments to be in sync with the research, because it's an active movement of pieces playing out and involves a dynamic that goes deeper than what research comes out through the surface, what gets published.

Many concepts are super simple once they've been absorbed by culture to the point that you can learn by osmosis. It's not the same clarity as coming to a conclusion without the awareness existing initially.

My dilemma often is, for some concepts such as math, computation, you can't really prove where such concepts originate from, or whether they exist independent of the human mind and are instead, discovered over time. The obvious implication being that some concepts may exist in some minds outside of the laboratory, and then what is the purpose of doing such research?

The reason often comes down to the fact that someone is funding you to be there 40-80 hours (or more, depends on how much sleep you need) a week doing nothing else. That's a lot of time to focus on just those things, and I honestly think that makes, not just a big difference, but THE difference, between who gets there first. Because otherwise, you have to be focused on other things, that might not be directly tied to whatever research concepts you may want to discover independently.

Concepts become uber simple because people work hard to spread them out and make them easily understood. There's a counter argument to this that you should also be able to decide whether you want to be influenced by those concepts, but that's just living life. I imagine a lot of people who are not interested in super simple concepts have some aversion to them that could be very valid. It doesn't make them less intelligent, it's just something you wouldn't understand unless you experienced the particular dynamic. Distorted realities indeed. We all have them.

Here's how it works. If those were the only charges, then your standard of proof would be "beyond a reasonable doubt" (i.e. 97-99% likely). They aren't. Since the other charges were already proven beyond a reasonable doubt, the defendant is already going to be incarcerated for the statutory thirty years to life. Now the judge has to decide how much time to give. If the defendant is a saint who made a mistake, maybe they get thirty years. If the defendant is the devil, they might get life. I don't know what standard of evidence the judge is required to use to make this decision, but I'm under the impression that it is not "beyond a reasonable doubt." It is probably more like, "preponderance of evidence," (>50% likelihood). So if the judge believes the most likely scenario is that the defendant is a super bad guy, they might give a harsher sentence.

As an aside, epistemically, you seem to be confused about the meaning of "evidence." Evidence is stuff that causes you to believe something more. Evidence does not imply that there is a 100% certainty of something being true.
