> Beijing is likely far ahead

I don't think that's true. China is doing some amazing things in biotech, and they have perhaps the best young drug discovery talent base in the world, but most VC and innovative startups are in the US for now.

Most of the Chinese VC investment has been in Series B or later stage rounds in US-based companies (some UK / EU as well). Most Series A rounds are led by US biotech VCs, and these VCs seed most of the funded startups as well. There are some large Series A rounds led by Chinese VCs (mostly Sequoia China), but not as many as by US VCs [0] -- disclosure: i created this database, it's still in alpha

There have been a few mega-rounds for Chinese biotechs recently, but it seems like a lot of those are aimed at developing Chinese versions of drugs originally developed in the west. There are exceptions of course, like Legend

Don't mean to knock China's biotech scene, but Beijing does not seem "far ahead" to me

Why, apart from expedience, do designers of experiments share an institutional affiliation with the experimenters themselves? I wonder what would happen if the two groups were far apart, and if communication between them restricted to the transmission of an experimental protocol and the reception of raw observations.
Could you cite some popular apps that do this? This is news to me.

It's linked from that page you posted.

I guess you can be pedantic about the term "hacked," but they claimed their site was deliberately rendered unavailable to commenters by multiple attackers. In the common parlance, deliberately breaking computer shit is called hacking.

It may save unneeded stress to make peace with the fact that words can mean one thing to a specialist and something else to all the other native speakers of the language.
Sure, that makes total sense. Pai was secretly in on it!!!
Eh, except the "king" in this case is actually the one who paid to put in electricity. So it's not really "graft", but being allowed to build infrastructure.

Yes, obviously, there should be regulations on infrastructure. But you're making it sound way simpler than it really is.
Reuters and apnews are much better than CNN they just lack relevancy (to me).

Example of their home page news that are completely irrelevant (to me):

- Gates admits crimes with _ and embezzlement from _ Manafort

- Serena Williams says struggling with 'postpartum emotions'

- Pink in Sydney hospital with stomach virus, cancels 3rd show

I guess I am looking for an aggregator like Zite used to be where you could teach it your interests. Apple news is good but you can not customize it well enough so it keeps pushing new and unwanted stuff to you (not to mention ads).

The part where insulin pumps are electronic equipment. It's becomming more and more common for devices like insulin pumps to upload data automatically to other devices. It'd be hard to get location data I think from glucose logs. But SoCs are getting more and more features, and an insulin pump that also tracks steps is not a huge stretch of the imagination, especially if the power draw was tiny.
Intentional transmitters are very heavily regulated, even in the 2.4GHz band.
No. And the FCC could have said that. They also could have just simply said "Well, this is just an issue that certain subsets of internet denizens have strong feelings about, but the average citizen doesn't," just like the Obama admin said in regards to the legalize-marijuana petition. There were lots of different ways to respond that would have come off as far more legitimate, and led to the same outcome.

Instead, they concocted an obviously false and politically motivated story about being "hacked".
I liked the belt idea until i read about bubble cars. have a zillion cars with room for 3 people that are constantly circulating around a track, with roll on roll offs all over the place. hit a button, next empty car rolls off and stops for you. hit a button inside for your destination, accelerate back to the main track speed and you're on your way.

it's kind of like a people mover, but has the ability to actually stop, thanks to the split/merge at the stops.
Nice job. Here is my suggestion.

That just seems like such a fucking waste. One mistake destroys resources. These devices aren't disposable, and they sure aren't recyclable. We cannot keep going down this route of insanity.

Such a waste, just like most military spending.
No, it’s not. Minnesota is blue. Wisconsin is purple. Illinois is a solidly blue state and the biggest in the Midwest. Iowa is purple. Look at this map and tell me again Midwest is politically conservative ? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_states_and_blue_states#/...

Nonsense.
That seems crazy high. If I have a node with 512G of RAM the kubelet/sys will take 100G? why would kubelet ever need this much?
Should I join a startup that will match my current salary?
I am being offered to join a startup (post angel round, pre series A). This startup is offering to match my (slightly above market) salary.
They are taking the product into an overseas market and creating a child company there. I'd be a key member in leading these efforts (from marketing and sales to product development). Some aspects of the product (including the main business model) will be changed to adopt to the new market so in some ways it will be like starting from ground 0 which, needless to say, comes with it's risks.

I'm being offered my current salary. I can use parts of or all of it to buy parent startup shares at approx 17% discount. I can at a later date exchange those shares for child company stock once an official valuation is available (e.g. after an angel round). Initially I'd be capped to not be able to own more than 10% of this child company.

The offer sounded a little convoluted at first but on the surface it appears that between my current situation and what I'm being offered the only monetary advantage is the ability to purchase the startup's stock at 17% discount and later being able to exchange it for a new child startup that I'll be a part of.

Is this a worthwhile offer? Thoughts/opinions appreciated.

Windows Night Light
guess the same must be true for Linux, gIMP, emacs, vim, gcc, clang, LibreOffice.
What I don't like about the night light built into W10 is that there is no gradual change in color temperature between day and night. I use redshift on Linux and it lives as a KDE Plasma applet sitting in the system tray: it knows when sun up and sun down are based on my lat / long, and it gradually changes the color temperature accordingly. Really sweet.
You can still have siloed teams, and I think you need them in this case. AWS has many different products and they don't all relate to each other. It sounds like they simply need to adopt some UX/style guides and enforce them across the company.
But why? I’d expect C-E, or at least S-L before j.

Sometimes, yeah. In the US I've seen it go both ways, so it's not a hard and fast rule, but it does seem to be a thing.
That's not accurate. There are some things you cannot even do in the API and it must be done in the console. I agree with others here that you should be using Cloudformation as much as possible, but even that isn't 100% supported and sometimes you need to click around the console to set things up.
Every update has improved the UI. I think its way better then ios.

It makes perfect sense with the little bit of contextual knowledge that credit card companies sell your purchase data to whoever for whatever reason today, and I'm pretty sure Google uses buys and uses this info.

So - the first sentence refers to the potential program in question i.e. FB doing some kind of financial integration. The second part I think is FB's 'furthermore' in reference to the fact they don't seem to buy data from VISA to integrate into ads. Since the later is a rather common thing, I guess they felt the need to clarify.

It's funny that everyone is up in arms about FB using FB data to make ads ... when VISA, MC and AMEX basically sell all transactional data to pretty much anyone for any purpose. And this has been going on for some time and there doesn't seem to be a big fuss over it.

Personally I think the sale by Visa of all your transactions is a much worse violation of privacy because it's financial info, there's no overt 'opt in' for this, and it's sold and used willy nilly for whatever.

But to your point I don't think that too many people are aware that Visa is selling data so the context required for the later comment may not be obvious.
Hey thanks for this! There are a ton of sub-genres I'm not well acquainted with so this super helps. One request I would make is to be able pause the game, so that I can see the artist and track name for longer. Thanks this is great!
Does it seem weird to anybody else that a vendor would semi-blame the customer in public like this? I can't imagine seeing a statement like this from a Google or Amazon engineer.

It also doesn't seems to ignore a number of the points, especially how support was handled. I think it's bad form to only respond to the one thing that can be rebutted, ignoring the rest. And personally, I would have apologized for the bad experience here.
Mainly it just looks really annoying.
Here's the worst part about it - if you are TSA-pre, it's really no different than travel in the '80s or '90s - you keep all your gear on, walk through a metal detector. Takes about 30 seconds. On the other hand, if you didn't pay for TSA-pre, then it could be an hour+ worth of waiting in line to go through a degrading and yes incompetently administered experience.

So to my thinking it isn't even the dystopian aspect of big brother watching and prodding, it's the further disgust of big brother separating the haves and have nots. Some animals are more equal than others.
They're meant for the public to provide new, unique perspectives. Quantities aren't relevant, especially when most NN supporters used forms which automatically said the exact same thing and other entities spammed the comment period with marginally different generated texts saying the same thing.
You're kind of proving OP's point. You're just spouting off "facts" with no real understanding behind what exactly was said. What exactly did the study say? We've seen more than enough examples on HN about studies whose premise and conclusion have been mistranslated so many times, who's to say this isn't another case of it?
Facebook may just make the app not run unless you give it mic permission. Of course you don't have to run it. I have seen apps that explicitly refuse to run unless you give them the permissions they want on iOS even though they shouldn't need them for 99% of their functionality.
The only way this would make any sense is if you were using Azure Files, rather than Azure Disks. There's virtually never a time when it makes sense to use Azure Files over Azure Disks, and even when it does, a change in the application would be better advised than using Azure Files.

>Yes, that's right, Azure is the only cloud vendor that is 100% compatible with enforcing DOS 1.0 reserved filenames - on your Linux server in 2018!

This is hyperbolic bordering on flatly false. This is more reasonable and accurate:

"Azure is the only cloud vendor that serves their Samba product from Windows boxes, and thus leak Win/NTFS-isms into their Samba shares [that shouldn't be used anyway]."

How would an ext4 filesystem, mounted under Linux, attached as a block device to a VM, be subjected to Windows-isms? What you're implying doesn't even make sense.
> Proven to do what?

Proven to reduce emissions, just like the Montreal protocol did: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Montreal_Protocol.

> Sure. Finance a variety of pet projects that end up in nothing but money exchanging pockets? You betcha. Suppress the economic growth? Of course.

All those same arguments were said about the Montreal protocol, but the sky didn't fall.

> US does not have carbon tax. Many European countries do. You tell me how that happens.

According to your own source European emissions dropped 1.5% from 206 to 2016 while the US dropped 1.2%. Even this isn't a fair comparison as Europeans emit much less already, there is less fat to cut.

Additionally you seem to think we can reward people for sequestering carbon, where do you propose this reward comes from?
Utilization rate means percentage of time that is billed to a customer, I believe/presume. Whether a car is moving is not the same thing. The issue is whether it is on the clock or not, and given that computers already are used to match passengers and route cars, I'm not clear on why we would expect a drastic increase. Currently, we see 50-60%. Even a perfect routing algorithm can't make it 100%, because there are only so many customers, so things like how many cars there are per customer matter. If you reduce the cars per customer, service suffers. If you increase the number, utilization falls.
But with Visa we can opt-out by using monero instead, what are we supposed to do with facebook?
> How did Vim become so successful?

I recall the early days of RoR crowd were pushing for Vim too. It was hipster in term of adopting new and awesome things and RoR crowd really push some new things. This was when the editors war was still a thing.
Wow. Not just cheap, but MacProject was free on the original Mac.

Smartsheet has a PERT view. I've used it successfully on a short-term project with about 20 engineers. The only "configuration" I had to add was a JIRA column.
> the people working on these projects are not dumb. They are not going to launch a feature that simply does not work

I've seen no evidence of this. Plenty of features that do not work or work poorly are launched every day.

Especially machine learning stuff, which is hard to test for normal (and abnormal) users and debug the recommendations. See e.g. the Nest. I know people who got one and hated it since it never get the hang of their schedules and would make bizarre decisions. Others love them.
I flew when I could exit a departure lounge and walk up mobile stairs to enter the aircraft with no screening whatsoever. Like, none.

Yeah, it feels really different.
I’m assuming RoR is Ruby on Rails here? If so, this seems extremely odd considering the age of the two things.
Funny you use ageism in that context. It usually refers to preferring younger workers. I don’t know about biotech specifically but anecdotally the Boston area is probably more generally often to older workers because of things like embedded, other kernel level stuff, and other tasks that require traditional engineering disciplines and people with experience from a Boston-area computer companies.

> For anything besides organized crime, that's going to reduce crime by removing whatever crimes they'd commit.

That doesn't automatically follow.

First, it ignores crimes committed while in jail, which is totally a thing - but at least hopefully the impact of those on "innocents" is reduced.

Second, if punishment reduces honest opportunities and increases criminal opportunities (networking?), enough new criminal acts may follow to make up for the lost time.
Noted! Very cool.

I never even thought of looking in other countries before reading this thread either.
I even prefer server-side analytics, but if it's their stance for now, I guess we have to wait until they roll it out.
I'll bet many of said cars will end up not really having the right proportions for the internals or correct door placement. It will be recognizable as a car, sure.

Getting into the weeds a bit we see this more obviously with drawings of tanks, ships and planes that aren't drawn with a reference to a real one - guns too big to fit inside the turret, the turrets themselves being way too big, no consideration for where the engine must be etc.
We would still be in the mid-1980s software-wise if that was the case.

Once upon a time, software was developed with that care. Read up on the Multics security model, or Spark ADA, or the multiply-redundant systems that Tandem and Stratus put out. It really wasn't until the microcomputer era that software became "test it until it works" rather than "rigorously prove that it meets the specification".

And that was absolutely the right move, economically, because for most of the stuff we use consumer software for, it's really not that important. If Reddit shows the wrong point total for a story, nobody really cares. If YouTube occasionally hiccups while playing back, it's not a big deal. I'd rather have YouTube at all rather than insist that they get all the bugs out.

Someday, probably, people will insist on ironing out all the kinks in software, the same way we consider plane crashes unacceptable now (if you read the history of aviation, there was a time period where virtually all the key aviation innovators died in plane crashes or accidents). That period comes after all the major markets have been discovered and filled, though. Once computers have spread into every niche that they can, with clear market leaders for each industry, we'll see them devote their energy toward making things bug-free.

AKS caps at 4G.
The transition from DOS to Windows in the 90s was difficult for blind users as well as screen reader developers. For some blind techies who were comfortable with DOS, Linux was indeed a more attractive next step. I was heavily involved in the blind Linux community from 1999 through 2001, and helped several newbies get started with Linux.

But that's ancient history. Even as I was deeply involved in the blind Linux community, Windows screen readers were getting good, particularly for everyday tasks like web browsing. Today, there would be no reason for any blind person other than a programmer or sysadmin to use a command-line interface, let alone a screen-oriented terminal interface.

To see why a screen-oriented terminal interface isn't in fact blind-friendly, consider that Red Hat text-mode installer I talked about last time. On screen, you have an approximation of a GUI using line-drawing characters, some ASCII art (for check boxes), and colors to convey where the focus or selection is. Suppose you're in a list of check boxes with buttons below it. What does the screen reader read when you arrow through the list? When you toggle a check box with Space? When you tab to one of the buttons? With the Linux Speakup screen reader in particular, the output wasn't at all intuitive, and one often had to use screen review commands to be sure of what was happening. I wish I still had a copy of a tutorial I recorded in late 2000 where I walked through the installation of Debian with Speakup. (The Debian and Red Hat installers were and are very similar in this regard.)

Contrast that with the Fedora or Ubuntu graphical installer running under GNOME with the Orca screen reader. Like other major GUI platforms, GNOME has an accessibility API. Screen readers and other assistive technologies can get a tree of UI elements, and receive events about those elements. Assuming the application implements its side of the API (and often the UI toolkit takes care of this), a screen reader has easy access to high-level information about the widgets on the screen, what's happening to them, which one has the keyboard focus, etc. So when you arrow through that list of check boxes, the screen reader can say things like, "Web server, not checked". Then when you hit Space, it can just say, "checked". Finally, when you press Tab, it can say something like, "Next, button". It's clearly a much better experience.

I'm happy to answer any questions if anyone is curious.

It was closer to 0.50 an hour fwiw. And in practice that wasn’t realistic as the gpu spot prices would often spike to tens of dollars per hour, presumably as someone else ran some really large jobs.

A friend and I tried to systematize/automate this exact thing. And we were relatively successful in building it. But it turns out that spot prices are incredibly volatile and steam streaming is still pretty buggy so we abandoned it.
Thread parent specifically credited Wheeler. I assumed that was for what Wheeler did in 2015? In my opinion (of course everyone is welcome to her own!) that action was calculated for reversal. In fact the whole "our backs are to the wall since VZN sued us" kabuki performance was planned years in advance. Big telcos are plugged into the parts of USA government that don't face reelection. They can bring extraordinary pressure to bear on judges and bureaucrats. Nobody in that system wants thousands of wildcat WISPs dotting the countryside.

If you plan to sell the business/brand in the future then you would be advised to avoid anything that relates to your name. On the other hand if your expertise, profile, etc are relevant and you do not intend to sell in the future then using your name might be of value.

The hardest part is to come up with a name that is available under your state's/country's business /company names register, is available for domain name registration and does not violate any pre-existing trademarks. Trademarks are particularly tricky because there are international treaties that can lead to an overseas trademark being infringed even if you can register in your own country.
