tbf their website is marketing 0.4x genome coverage for $99 coverage, and the "possible free sequencing and other rewards" is all research-institute-interest dependent.

which makes me feel better about the (obviously also subsidised by potential research use) $199 full genome Black Friday deal I just ordered...

Question for any Israelis-

My view of that region has been that in general, Israel is trying to do the right thing, although inidividual actors might attack Palestinian civilians and then get court martial. Palestinian leadership is broken with competing Hamas and Palestinian Authority with open or at least covert support of terrorism.

How are Israel’s politics internally? I fear an Israeli leader who is corrupt and doesn’t care for Israeli people or loss of Palestinian civilians could very easily take the Trump path.

It would be easy to blame Palestinians for every problem, just as Trump blames Hispanics, Muslims, immigrants (legal or illegal) or some other ethnic group inside Israel to unite the people with electoral power while the leadership gets away with corruption or outright war crimes in the name of defense.

This is not meant to be a Israel v. Palestine conversation, but just about Israel’s internal politics. Just want to learn.
Ok,better analogy:There's a 0day vulnerability in a specific device driver you happen to be using,crafting a workable exploit requires a significant amount of skill and the exploit can only work under specific configurations. A well organized and talent-resourced attacker performing targeted attacks would exploit the vulnerability. Realistically,you'll have to take into account the likelihood of someone exploiting this vulnerability when prioritizing remediation(grading insecurity).

A simpler example: apache2 has a RCE but known exploits require PIE disabled for an exploit to work. You have one apache server in a segregated vlan that is facing your admin vlan with PIE enabled. In contrast you have an IIS server with DOS vuln facing the internet. The IIS server is more insecure because there is a significantly higher likelihood of a security compromise(availability) against it and the org will face reputational and revenue(?) Impact.

The whole point I want youbto get is that real (in)security is context aware.
They can even have a summary or introductory paragraph indexed while designing a paywall that way. What they can't have is search engines able to read the whole article and not everyone else.

I think this is fair, and so do the search engines. Google calls doing otherwise "cloaking" and says they penalize the ranking of sites that do it. Perhaps they're not doing so effectively enough.
Ctrl+o, it's literally on the screen at all times. People that use vi, and not vim, use it, as my very limited experience with knowing one person doing it, is because vi is available everywhere AND is more powerful than nano. And since they have to rely on vi, they might as well learn it fully.

Yeah, I feel A/B testing is really the place where Satan secretly influences the world. I'm losing track of how many times I've seen user-hostile or application-debiliating decisions justified by "data" on user behaviour. Something is very wrong here.
Human sexuality may be famously plastic, but this could be going a bit far.
Not entirely true as it might sound.

I joined the program a week ago. Did all surveys and I'm currently sitting on 550 credits.
To qualify for a their main genome sequencing, "Low-pass Whole Genome Sequencing (0.4x coverage)", you need 1000 credits or $99.
But if you want whole genome sequenced, you need to order their flagship product, "Clinical-grade Whole Genome Sequencing (30x coverage)". Which is greyed out on their website currently. And I'm not even going to guess how many credits is that going to cost.

I was under the impression that on iOS an app without access to the location API still could get the name of the WIFI and perhaps the SSID too?
It's the opposite problem in China. Too many farmers want to be industrial laborers. They have strict control (relative to other countries) preventing farmers from moving to cities. While totalitarian, it makes sense to reduce the speed of urbanization. Switching from agrarian to industrial is very disruptive. You don't want too many unemployed laborers in your cities.

> If someone really cared, they'd run the most blase service on top of such technology and actively kick off anyone slightly controversial.

You'd first have to define controversial, a difficult task when dealing with the 'net:

* Communism - fine in Sweden, frowned upon in former Soviet satellite states

* Marihuana - forbidden in Sweden, allowed in Canada and parts of the US, tolerated in the Netherlands

* Women in revealing clothing - fine in western Europe, forbidden in islamic countries (for a recent example see [1])

* Antisemitism - forbidden in most of western Europe, daily fare on TV in many islamic countries

* ...

This list goes on, where do you draw the line? It would end up being a very bland service when everyone who is even slightly controversial is kicked off. So bland, actually, that the service would never obtain mainstream acceptance.

In my experience, today's recipe is "follow the trends of market leaders" (see e.g. everyone jumping on Material Design), and after that perhaps "optimize for conversion". Listening to UI/UX people, I often hear about not confusing the user, not burdening the user, removing obstacles. What I never hear is empowering the user, providing value to the user, enabling the user to fulfill their goals (as opposed to leading them through the path to monetization).

Pretty much. For the benefit of anyone else reading who doesn't know London:

The North/South Circular restrictions are actually a thing that will hit many families, especially around the borders of the area, because it is actually a lot more convenient to drive around, there are some gaps in transport, it's more suburban, it's actually a more car-oriented part of the city, most streets will have cars lining both sides, etc.

In 2021 this will happen and a non-negligible number of individuals will end up upgrading their cars (it probably won't cost them that much, a 500 quid car passes the bar).

None of this stuff is really any sort of humanitarian disaster because it's all comfort/luxury stuff. It's nice to drive about there, useful, not essential though, and yeah, the 'barrier to entry' is basically not driving a shitbox.

By contrast, "Central London" as defined by the inner ring road is an area that can be walked across in approximately an hour or cycled across in 20-30 mins, and has a bus stop on pretty much every street corner. It's plastered in traffic lights, it's difficult to even stop your car anywhere to pop into a corner shop without getting ticketed. At some point in the next few decades I can see a lot of it becoming "semi-pedestrianised" a bit like Krakow town center or something as attitudes change.

This area will be covered in a few months time by the tax (it's already covered during business hours, it'll just be extended to 24/7). Realistically, in practice, it might mean the odd journey in on a Sunday will be replaced by parking just outside the zone and getting a bus in or something.

The idea of it being a 'regressive tax' just doesn't stand up to scrutiny. Barely anyone will actually end up paying it at all because it's cheaper to just get a better car. It's more like a soft-ban.

Hello, Office's Ribbon.

# Runs horizontally.

- Result: wastes precious vertical space on low-resolution widescreen displays (i.e. business displays and most notebooks) that should be dedicated to showing the document body.

# Due to being horizontal, GUI items appear/disappear depending on window width.

- Result 1: having two documents on screen can be disadvantageous compared to having one on screen because a lot of the GUI items aren't showing or are hidden in submenus, encouraging wasting screen real estate by only having one document on the entire screen.

- Result 2: due to the Ribbon's horizontality, instead of having the elements stay on screen in a consistent manner and be easily scrollable, the interface constantly surprises the user by unexpectedly hiding even key GUI items.

# No option to disable.

- Result: if you wanted to have certain GUI items visible at the same time… well, tough. If the floating palette that inconsistently appears when the user places the mouse cursor over certain elements doesn't have your favourite item, then you're out of luck if the items you want to use exist under different tab groupings.

iWork '09 and prior had the best design: a main toolbar with general items, a smaller context-sensitive toolbar underneath, and context-sensitive inspector windows. If the revamped iWork had simply docked those context-sensitive inspectors, rather than get rid of the context-sensitive toolbar, it mightn't have received such a poor response.

The irony is that Office 2003 (and a few releases prior) already had inspectors on the side, and those would have been perfect given the prevalence of widescreen displays, leaving as much vertical space for the display of the document body as possible.

LibreOffice seems to have three GUI modes; one like iWork, one like the old Office, and one like the Ribbon.
Steam is translated and comes with support for many languages. It takes all currency and it has region settings for pricing, currency and release dates. For the anecdote, it's maybe the only US service that sells well in Russia.

It certainly won't translate the game for you, not that translating a bunch of text files is the hardest part, but it will help with everything else.

Ask international users what they think of other platforms. Like the one they couldn't use because it didn't accept their names with an accent or couldn't enter a billing address without a state.
To be honest I use notmuch+vim as well. I still think that it's not necessarily good that I'm able to do so. (btw thank you both for reading through my rant and actually providing feedback :))
Yes, sorry, I thought you were giving it a normative interpretation, but you were just stating a fact.

I agree that your statement is correct.
Not really, the purpose of investigation is to find out whether the crime actually happened and whether it can be proven (sometimes it may be either a mistake or deliberately misleading change by somebody with much to gain if the accused person is hurt, and police can check legal dealings by senior politicians to ensure they are indeed legal), so the outcome of the investigation is not known upfront, and can come out any way, depending on the evidence.

What Netanyahu is saying, that it wasn't a honest investigation since the investigators were intending, for political reasons, to recommend to indict regardless of what the actual evidence - unknown to them by then - showed. Whether it is true or not, I don't know - in Israeli politics there's a fair share of both crooked politicians and biased policing, so could be either way (or even both ways). The boundaries between business and politics are not very thick in Israel anyway, so there's a lot of space for both corrupt dealings and accusations in such without hard proof (which is sometimes very hard to come by and relies on "he said/she said" evidence).
Wow, very cool. I thought about blogging in Chinese to help me learning, but I never did. Instead I spend my time reading and writing on paper, every day.

But, is the content you write about true, personal?
I'd be very surprised if it wasn't a core set of recognized nation states, and a set of transition economies from the former USSR making the vast bulk of semi- and not- recognized states. Political process dominates Taiwan, Kashmir and Palestine. Nobody recognizes Pitcairn Islanders or residents of Kurguelen. (British overseas and French outre mer respectively and I was joking they don't pretend to be passport issuing nations)
Hm, character spacing is pretty much broken in this screenshot. Not sure what is going on there, but it is certainly not completely correct.
If it bothers you so much then you should just leave it and build your own platform.
Portraits have always been one of the most common subjects in art. In the Renaissance, many were commissioned by the subject(s). Technology has simply made it easier.
UI/UX is definitely not their strong suit and CloudWatch is one of the worst offenders. I really hope they aquire a company to deliver a completely revamped observability platform in the same vein as where Stackdriver is headed. They really seem to stuggle building things in house that have a great user experience.

That being said, they excel at building things that are scalable, reliable and secure, and while you may only see that as 10% of the features, for a lot of ppl that is 80-90%, especially if data is involved. They do tend to improve their products over time as well and for better or worse I am sure a lot of those resourcing decisions are driven by data/revenue rather than how crappy the product is.

At the end of the day this allows others to continue to compete with them, which is a good thing.
You're right about that. It's easy to think in terms of broad morals when you're not a target. It's also why I don't buy liberalism even though I'm defending a liberal practice in this specific instance.

I want to say that it's rooted in practicality rather than idealism. I'm uncomfortable with for-profit entities being arbitrators of acceptable content, because various "divisive" or "extreme" viewpoints outside of racism are threatening to their bottom lines as well. A distributed, censorship-proof network would have the side effect of allowing racism to propogate, but it could also protect viewpoints that lie outside of the stifling pro-market center-right consensus that grips most mainstream media platforms. The problem is that these alternatives only attract assholes for the time being.

It's a definite tradeoff where I can't stand behind any one position definitively yet.

Compiler developers are doing a fantastic job, and I absolutely do blame the C language and standard.

Worst than particle pollution on a day-to-day basis is the noise pollution. Big/Sport motor bikes and car horns should really be regulated inside cities, they make everything more stressful.

They installed a new sound on public buses, which sounds like a nice old bell and is less noisy than the usual car horn. It should exist on all cars.

Seriously, no one gives a f* than someone is stuck in traffic, and yet it alerts everyone on a 200 meters radius, which is many people in a city's density.

Some of his best landscape prints took years to produce. His photography is not about serendipitous "found" imaging, nor documenting a scene you were likely to see with your own eyes. Those romantic and dramatic landscapes existed in his mind, and I really mean he produced the images. He used the wilderness and environment like set pieces for studio work, and also manipulated the exposures and printing quite a bit to get some of the dramatic lighting.

His technical skill was only one part of what made his art. His patience and deep familiarity with the land was also essential. He traveled the same areas repeatedly, imagined a composition, and returned later to get the season, weather, and light the way he wanted. Many return visits were not as fruitful as hoped, since nature doesn't have a reservation system.

These urban photos seem more journalistic in nature. Not only was his time compressed for the work, the nature of the subject lacks the permanence to pre-visualize a composition and return to capture it at a more ideal time.
http://linuxbrew.sh/ but… why?

We have distributions that are providing perfectly packaged things like Debian/Arch/RedHat.

I find already Homebrew hacky on macOS so why porting it on Linux distributions :D Is there anyone on HN using it, I'd be curious to know what are the advantages.
That and removing "increasingly little used" things because the telemetry told them so. Features that they've spent the last 4 releases downplaying and hiding. Funny that.

Or occasionally a setting you last touched five years ago when you installed the thing, as you're quite happy it's been set ever since.

How strange that they don't need data to to install ads in start menus and new tabs, "refreshing" the whole GUI (once you've fully assigned the old one to muscle memory), or adding other pointless bloat.

I have no idea how I'd give you my 'facebook address' - you'd look me up, but it might be private, or you might find the other one of me with my same name, or... I dunno. Problems.

If you send them an email with your FB page in it, a certain % will follow then, because it's a way to get some more passive updates when they want.

EDIT: 30 years ago, everyone would have given you a street mailing address, even though some possibly had faxes or may have wanted a phone call or to be paged when you had updates.
I don't need to look it up, I've paid plenty enough of Finnish taxes to know. State taxation is progressive and municipalities collect an additional flat tax. The marginal tax rate for non-capital income, with all normal taxes reductions, is between ~8% and ~60%.

I'm not an expert on US taxation, but US is somewhat infamous for favoring wealthy at the expense of the poor. I'm unconvinced that increasing taxes on poor would improve that situation in the slightest.
