The sequenced DNA exists without any identifying information linking it to an individual. If they re-sequenced you and matched the two, they've gained nothing (since they had to re-sequence anyway), if they didn't re-sequence then they have no way of associating the two.

So now, tomorrow, or into the far future the two piece of information cannot be re-associated because there's nothing to map them. The information about the link is lost.

It is like asking "Can a lossy MP3 be restored to the lossless version if technology improves enough?" Nope. The information is simply gone. Same is true here, the associated link is just gone.
Yes, of course I did. The relative attention given to the majority of work on AI and the last six years or so is disproportionate, to say the least.

It's not illegal just because Twitter doesn't allow it on their platform.

You can run your own site, tattoo is on your face, say it to your friends... As long as you aren't directly inciting violence against others. That's really the only thing that's outright censored (genuine hate speech).

But criticizing the government, laws, society, anything really, is totally legal and in fact constitutionally protected. Just don't hurt or threaten other people.

Did you get an actual warning or are you trying to make a point about censorship?

this is true for life insurance but not health insurance. also it seems reasonable that your insurance company shiould have access to data that defines your risk since it helps them make better statistical models to manage risk across large pools of people as well as tailor the policy costs to your individualized risk.

This is how it works in other areas, like car insurance; with an absence of data, your policy is roughly based on the average individual, but as you gain more years of driving experience (good or bad), they factor that in. Bad drivers who get in more accidents pay more because their behavior is riskier and costs more. (the big difference being, in this case, genetic risk is predetermined and not something you can easily change through behaviur modification).

Eh—disagree.

Unlike the majority of our sciences, ML tech disperses extremely quickly. Software being software. Patents aside, there's nothing that machine learning research is going to give as an advantage nationally other than a couple years of warning that something is coming. On the other hand, if more software devs understood the basics of statistics and ML they'd be able to apply the tech into specialized domains.

The same thing is happening with ML that happened with web dev. Abstracting over the annoying stuff allows developers to attack the problem at the conceptual level. But you can't think conceptually without understanding thing from first principles. For example, I expect developers to understand the definition of accuracy and why maximizing it usually isn't useful.

As you conclude with, this is really a social/economic problem mascarading manifesting as a technical one.

The problem is doctors (and lawyers) are the best unionized workers in the country. I'm all for unions, but when a certain group of laborers is much better protected than everyone else, and their work legally distinguished creating extra monopoly power, the asymmetries erase the benefits to society.

1. All the memorization acts as gatekeeping to tighten supply. This is in addition to other explicit quotas.

2. Young post trainees (residents, young associates) do the boring drudgery (and in medicine are under-compensated relative to later). This internally is a hazing ritual, pure and simple. Externally, this is again terrible for productivity. Reducing the drudgery at the top of the food chain removes the psychological yearning for improvement from those with more power. And in the resident case exacerbates the lack of competition which would force change.

The long hours of residents + stigma talked about here also exposes the rank hypocrisy.

Funny story. On old Samsung devices there was Microsoft PlayReady DRM. However, it was a random .so library file, with exports defined clear as day and a completely unguarded API. So you could take a Samsung Note 2, for example, and if you know the right parameters to give to this API, you could simply use its DecryptBytes() call to decrypt your movie into any file you wanted.

Maybe you still can!
The Sam Vimes “Boots” Theory of Economic Injustice
I have a number of friends who are presently in medical school who come from a wide variety of backgrounds. The ~75% number seems highly consistent with my experiences. Replace "coffee" with "adderall" and it would remain consistent. Some would say they would take adderall just to get the drive to continue their studies despite otherwise being stressed, burned out, depressed, disinterested, etc. as their end goal that they've been working towards for ~10+ years has been becoming a doctor.
You're right that the words we say can determine what other people think of us. But that's how language works. Most people, rightfully, don't want to associate with someone who invokes racial slurs.

The point is that we are free to do so without fear of retaliation from the government. People are free to argue with each other and determine for themselves where to draw the lines.
Is the problem with building containers that you don't have a Dockerfile and you don't want to spend time making one?

Draft does that pretty well with Draftpacks, in my experience if there is a Draftpack for what you're using then the Dockerfile that draft spits out will get you pretty close to a workable container image with basically no effort, or sometimes even all the way there.

I'm trying to understand what you mean that building containers is a problem. Is it the procedural act of actually building and rebuilding the container that is the problem? (Draft handles that too...)

Edit: According to the Tilt tutorial, yes, tilt will build your containers. Eg: https://docs.tilt.build/first_config.html
How does the brain work?

Okay, that was sarcastic. But in my view no doctor knows all of those subjects in depth. Pre-med students take the basic STEM courses in order to pass their MCAT's, and then forget most of what they learned, and those courses were all just superficial intro courses anyway.

To be fair, the same can be said of most engineers.

Many med students (wisely) major in a STEM subject, so they may get into more depth than someone who majored in some kind of "studies." But what they know is a function of what they actually studied, learned, and kept up with after college, which does not make me super optimistic.

>If you don't have a knowledge base, you simply can not practice medicine because you don't understand how things actually work...

Nonsense. Why does a heart surgeon need to know anything about psychiatry? What does a radiologist need to know about cellular biology?

The equivalent for programming would be forcing someone to understand how transistors work at the atomic level, CPU architecture, and OS structure before letting them write a webapp. It's definitely one of the problems in medicine. There's way too much useless knowledge required leading to a limited supply of people being able and willing to master it. Plus, it makes it much more expensive and time consuming to train all of those people.

I always find it interesting that we go to the medical system to get advice about staying healthy but the people who live in that system and give advice live in a profoundly unhealthy system. A lot of doctors don't have first hand experience how to live a healthy lifestyle.

Can confirm. This is literally what happened in a codebase in the past:

// OLD CODE WITH COMMENTS:
// check ...
4 lines of code
// drop ...
4 lines of code
// read ...
4 lines of code
// do xxx ...
4 lines of code

In total, that method was like 16 lines of code, with some short commented sections. And the sections used variables from before.

Situation: New coder comes in, sees comments. Says "comments are bad, they get out of date, yadda yadda". So proceeds to change comment names into method names:

// PROPOSED: COMMENTS => METHODS
check()
drop()
read()
doxxx()

What coder forgot was the variables and context. As said before, the total was 16 lines of code with simple variables used between it. Not a big deal. But now when it has to be split into functions, it became like this:

// ACTUAL 1: COMMENTS => METHODS
a, b, c = check()
d, e = drop(b)
f, g = read(a, d)
i = doxxx(e, g)

And this was a language that didn't support multiple return types. So the code was actually:

// ACTUAL 2: COMMENTS => METHODS
class X { a, b, c}
class Y { d, e }
class Z { f, g }
X x = check()
Y y = drop(x.b)
Z z = read(x.a, y.d)
i = doxxx(y.e, z.g)

So now coder added 3 more classes, with more lines of boilerplate. Then the coder decided, to manage this problem better. So they created some more interfaces and did some DI. The result was around a 250 line PR, which I cannot ping here anymore. When we pointed out the same logic was now 250 lines, the answers were: "It's inherent complexity which we didn't know how to manage. His/her solution scales better, and he/she has shown us the way".

All for what? Because comments were considered a smell. Go figure.

You have to remember that the people on HN from China or Chinese is not representative of the average person in China. My cousin was born and raised in China in a tier 2 city. He now works in a tier 2 city making 30K RMB/month which is extremely good pay. He has travelled abroad many times and reads western books/culture.

I was born in China and left at 16. Educated in Canada and went back at 26 and worked for 14 years there before I left. When I was there I was working in major IT companies in a tier 1 city.

You have to think about Hu's The Harmonious Society Idea (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harmonious_Society) and part of the 'Stability At All Cost' ideal. The censorship is for the average person in China.

This "rule of three" seems to be fashionable these days, but I think you'd want "the rule of 2" all the way to "the rule of 10" depending on the size of the duplicated code, how hard it is to abstract, the complexity of the resulting abstraction, the distance between uses and abstraction, etc.

I certainly wouldn't want to wait to 3 if I am copying a block of 10+ lines that requires just a single int parameter to abstract into a function very local to the 2 uses. And I may use "the rule of never" on a 2 liner that requires a callback to abstract.

>so people can just learn the names on the job

Ah, yes, the best way to learn all the intricacies of a human: osmosis.

Good luck attaining knowledge that takes 8+ years of focused study in medical training today through osmosis over 30 years of "on the job" training, being paid $0 because you are still "learning" and can't contribute to anyone's actual medical care during that time unlike a resident physician.

It takes like a decade to train a doctor, and a bit over a decade ago was when the American Medical Association stopped trying so hard to limit the number of new doctors, we got the first new school of medicine since the 80s. The biggest barrier to entry right now is probably the residency requirements that make up a few of those training years, there are only so many hospitals and only so many slots in each hospital. The funding for residency is gated by federal funds.

Ah I assumed it marked, ran destructors, then swept.
In cases of resource cleanup you often (not always) don’t care so much about deterministic destruction, because holding onto the resource is not acting as a bottleneck and doesn’t lead to any performance or resource problem.

In such a case, there’s a big win to avoiding writing custom destructor logic that adds complexity and requires more testing and so on. If you can use something super simple, like a context manager decorator or a simple generator function with a context manager inside, and the destructor logic is basically just “call close()” to trigger the implicit cleanup of the context manager, it’s often worth it.

You aren’t writing much logic to specially process a “close” operation.. you’re just electing to let the thing containing the context manager go out of scope.

But I do agree in a case where, for example, leaving many open connections to a resource would create a resource limit or bottleneck, then ensuring it happens deterministically is probably important.
do you know the cause of aging? Nobody does. Instead, what we do is address the symptoms, because that generally leads to longevity and higher quality of life in older years. That's what the medical system is dedicated to doing. I say this with full knowledge that my friends who work at Buck Institute of Aging are working on the underlying causes of aging and they've all said it's better to focus on treating those symptoms.

BTW what you've said is also fairly philosophical. It would be completely correct to say that heart disease is a cause of aging, under a reasonable definition of aging.

In this case, nobody's stealing anything. People are opting to give them not only their information, but those of their descendants as well. Apparently they think that some sort of "privacy clause" (written by the corporation's lawyers no doubt) will remain intact if things get financially tight, and that the courts and governments will step in if the businesses try to take advantage of their knowledge in a way detrimental to the customer.

But we all understand that technology is only going to make more information available from those samples over time. The board has a fiduciary responsibility to its shareholders, and it doesn't take a great imagination to see that if the information becomes valuable in new ways then there will be pressure to use it however they can.

What we have here is a baby step.
> Maybe, just maybe we should try to remember that these folks are PEOPLE and still deserve to be treated with a modicum of decency

Purely anecdotal, but this is happening far too often: it's a bad weather day, waiting under the 5m long city tram station's getting protected from the rain, then someone comes and sit right next to me, lightning it's damn cigarette like there was absolutely no problem.

This is the kind of behavior that makes you actually forget that "these folks are people and still deserve to be treated with a modicum of decendy", because they clearly don't give a shit about others themselves.
These are some interesting insights into the economic incentives on the deployment side. I'm looking forward to reading the report.

It is also interesting to consider the incentives (or lack thereof) for IPv6 peering. The fact that HE and Cogent haven't resolved their peering dispute from 2009 suggests to me that there is insufficient incentive (particularly from their customers) to do so, even when there are obvious practical effects. (I can't reach openstreetmap.org via an HE IPv6 tunnel even now.)

Perhaps the technical effectiveness of Happy Eyeballs and other backwards-compatibility mechanisms necessarily reduces incentives for improving IPv6?
