> What is up with this incessant clamoring for a nanny to supervise every little thing?

The incessant clamoring of these companies to sell themselves as a medical device platform.

Snark aside, it's fine that they have things set up the way they do for ancestry reporting. A couple of percentages here or there do not make a lot of difference when you are using it in a recreational use case. When you start getting into reporting potential medical associations with SNP variants which could affect clinical treatment decisions, it stats to matter a lot.
Would this be a great app for the rest of us that do not have a pixel 2 device?
Costco is on a supply chain shakedown it seems because they’re also making an eyewear factory for similar business reasons as with chicken.

Being in Georgia I see some of these chicken trucks full of live and dead chickens and while they’re pretty dumb and dirty birds there’s no question that the birds in the system are suffering terribly. On top of that is the human suffering of the farmers that raise them in the kind of financial conditions they’re subjected to.

I’m fine paying substantially more for better treated chicken but the issue is that I have few guarantees that this is happening when I choose some labels over another given how convoluted the US agriculture and FDA system is.

Regardless of the merits of the platform, avoiding a monoculture itself has benefits such as encouraging open standards.

Every competitor platform that has died has harmed the long term health of the ecosystem of open standards.

Microsoft's OS itself was not open source, of course, although MS has turned around into a very open source oriented company across much of their stack.

However, their data vacuuming is also high as they are hoping to compete with Google.

And if you do what they want, and install lots of microsoft apps on your Android or iPhone, then rest assured they will vacuum all the data just like the other guys.

Trusting any of these companies on that front is naive.
In other words, don't mix up your G0 , G1 , G90 , and G91 .

> That's the thought we should all have in our heads before we send any post, or send any text, or send any email, or send any photo, or etc etc etc. We shouldn't rely on some company, that's using us to make money, to protect our privacy.

So don't, but that doesn't mean that everything can be attributed to you personally - even attributing something to a relatively dissociated username is difficult. At best you'll get an IP and that IP could belong to one or many people.

Anything you idiotically attribute to yourself (including private messages on your accounts) is attributable to you personally - assume all cloud services are fully compromised or extremely willing to misbehave.

Act accordingly. Never provide real information online, use shared IPs, VPNs, Tor in cases where repercussions could be significant. If you want privacy, don't expect it to be provided, take personal responsibility for it.
If it isn't true, why do vegans have to supplement their diets with tons of pills? Also, I was a vegan for while, so I know all the lies.

It always surprised me to see them reporting results to a 10th of a percent precision (e.g. "2.3%"). I'd assumed that the best they could do on an individual was a couple of orders of magnitude less precise (e.g. 10%, 20%)
In districts where the quality of education is very poor, it's hardly surprising that parents will try to act in their children's best interests. Are we really helping the poor by forcing them to put their children in low-quality schools?

My doctor once needed to reach me about something important. He called me from a random desk phone at the hospital. My phone setup at the time rejected it with no voicemail option for the caller.

Same thing happens in all sorts of real-life situations; whitelisting to numbers in your contacts list can be a serious problem.

Cryptographically Authenticated caller ID, including a human or organization name, seems to be the only real solution.
Maybe I'm not aware or not done my homework. But I wonder if there's a service that allows our phone number to be wrapped by another number. That way we can give our original number to only trusted parties/family and the wrapper number to outside world. In which case if we receive too many spam calls, we can simply change the wrapper number.
None of the differences, either split by company or by twin seem egregious or even particularly unsatisfactory. They cite that AncestryDNA measured each of their DNA to be 99.6% similar, and really, that seems like the error rate you would about expect for the Ancestry results they got. They got the exact same regions and only a percentage point or two off in each region's share.

It's not like they're fully sequencing every DNA sample they get.

> AncestryDNA found the twins have predominantly Eastern European ancestry (38 per cent for Carly and 39 per cent for Charlsie). But the results from MyHeritage trace the majority of their ancestry to the Balkans (60.6 per cent for Carly and 60.7 per cent for Charlsie).

This part of the article especially seems like hair splitting considering the Balkans and Eastern Europe tend to have a lot of overlap. In fact, "Balkans" in particular is an extremely ambiguous linguistic term and can mean so many different things to so many people.
This is absolutely not true, as a cursory examination of your browser's dev tools will reveal.
While I like the other responses better, at one time it was part of their branding. From a phonological standpoint, it was perhaps an effort to guide the pronunciation of the name as "Cost Cō". I tend to type it that way because I hear it that way.
It does follow from the need for arbitrary nondeterminism (basically, the unconstrained use of existential quantifiers) for arbitrary-level specification, and the absolute inability to compile/interpret such uses in any feasibly efficient manner. In TLA+ you could describe an algorithm that "somehow" performs some operation, without specifying how. E.g. in TLA+ you can say "this component somehow sorts a list efficiently," if the particular sorting algorithm is not central to what you want to specify.

The requirement that descriptions of computation be mechanically translated into something you can run is an extremely constraining one (both theoretically and in practice -- most high-level descriptions of computational systems cannot be mechanically turned into executables). If you remove it, you get something that is not a programming language, but that is strictly more expressive. So, if all specifications of computations (programs) in your language can be interpreted/compiled into an executable, it necessarily follows that it is less expressive than TLA+.

While programming languages could add constructs for such specifications (contracts/dependent types) they cannot compile them into an executable. This means that you get a language that really contains two separate languages (and they must be separate for compilation to work), one for nondeterministic specification and one for deterministic specification, with only the latter used to describe actual computation, and resulting in a language that is both an exceptionally complex specification language and an exceptionally complex programming language -- basically the worst of both worlds. That such language have only ever been used for software that's substantially smaller and simpler than jQuery is the empirical manifestation of that (not that such use cases aren't important, but that you can only effectively fully specify tiny programs does imply that their expressivity is limited).
Yeah, I tried to move them about over my arm, thinking exactly the same thing as you just did. It gave me all kinds of results. Another commentor points out that the data is 'demo only' data on the in-store watches. The reason for demo only data is that the data might be considered 'medical' information and, I assume, therefore covered under HIPAA. Exposing that to just about anyone that can come in the store and see the record of the bpm is, rightly, very illegal and unethical.

> When you say non-state, you surely mean by parties whom aren't favourable to US interests.

No, I meant non-state. The US doesn't generally use the T-word for, say, Russia's actions in Crimea or in Syria. Being opposed to US interests is necessary but not sufficient to make you a terrorist in this definition.

Has Apple said anything about why they aren't releasing their own web player?

With the API integration it seems pretty straight-forward to make one, so there's got to be a strategic reason they don't want to?

Maybe they want to encourage people to use native apps wherever possible, since they have more advantage over Chromebooks there?
What's bizarre is that the cop was probably allowed to do the same as a child.
I disagree with the common advice that before you study math you should try to develop love for it or find an application you care about. If you don’t know any math, how can you know what you like or want?

What I think one should do, initially, is try to be better than other people in some way. That’s a motivation everyone has accessible. One way is what you’re doing already — trying to learn math on your own. That’s pretty cool.

From there I’d use Reddit and Quora to build yourself a curriculum. Most people start with calculus, linear algebra, differential equations, and real analysis. Look for textbooks that are known to be pedagogically well-written for self-study (rather than intended to be used as a manual in conjunction with lectures). Skim the table of contents and the first chapter of several books to get a feel for which ones you’ll be able to stand going through. I like Spivak, Arnol’d, Axler, and Pugh.

In each subject, find a book full of problems, and do the hardest ones in each section.

Something tells me that the 1/1000 error rate you cite isn't truly accurate, or at least doesn't apply to all portions of DNA equally, because in almost every individual that would result in many SNPs with bad consequences since we have so many subsequences coding essential proteins
The validation procedure is not required when signing up. Validation happens only when your account changes login device or you try password too many times. It works as a security feature and has nothing to do with whether your account's phone number is foreign or not. The procedure requires you identify people from your wechat contact or ask friends sending message to your account. It's fairly easy and your friends don't have to be local at all.

A couple of reasons. The integration with my existing iTunes Library is fantastic, and also there have been enough albums / bands only on Apple Music (for whatever reason) for me to want to stick with it.
Yes but alcohol has been widely used by people since before there really were any laws at all. It's deeply established in social rituals, religion, etc. So it has been normalized for millennia. You can create policy to try to control new harmful things, while at the same time recognizing that other things are too entrenched to really do anything about.

And we do have the converse also. Driving under the influence of alcohol is strictly prohibited, but rules for other drugs are much less standardized.
A fitting title for that webpage.
This is what I have been teaching my kids and their cousins:

1) Everything you do on the internet is public

2) Everything you post on the internet is forever

3) Everything above can be traced back to you

I also showed them how easy it is to save private and public snaps without sending a screenshot notification (including video!) and how easy it is to fake.

It's hard to know if it's sinking in or not, but I hope so.

I wish I could show parents who are not tech saavy how to get these points across to their children.
I'm not seeing any euphemisms or language games. In English, chicken both means the animal and the meat, so there is no game in calling dead chickens just chickens.

This one's pretty good for audio DSP in general, including some fairly detailed material on synthesis:

https://mitpress.mit.edu/books/audio-programming-book

Most of the code is C (and some C++). The first two chapters are a C tutorial, followed by audio-specific C programming.
If you already know C you may want to skip the first couple of chapters.

If you're going to buy it I'd recommend a hard copy, as the DVD includes a lot of stuff that isn't in the Kindle version.
OK now you can see the S/N ratio.

Because we're one of the few industries where you can make six figures before age 30 without working yourself to death or going to school for a decade. We have the opportunity to save a ton of money years before others. In general most people care more about their salary than the work. You chose two careers (researchers, professors) that may be the exception. Go ask finance people or lawyers what they think.

Disclaimer: I haven't taken any funding, and I'm outside of the SV sphere so probably I am wrong, but I do run a SaaS making sub $10k MRR so I am thinking of applying....

I think "It depends". If you have an unproven product, a $120k investment + mentorship in exchange for 15% sounds pretty good to me.

My situation makes the monetary investment a lot less important. For me the value would mostly be in how applicable the mentorship would be in my situation. Is 8% worth it? Maybe, maybe not. I think I'll end up waiting on the next round before applying. (and try to fix my obvious defects in the meantime)
I still don’t see how to reconcile these two things. The observer sees the particle essentially slow to a stop as it crosses the event horizon, right (infinite time dilation)? Then the black hole evaporates. Evaporation happens in finite time, so how is that particle “frozen” indefinitely?

Is characterizing the dilation as “infinite” incorrect? I’ve heard that and equivalent statements from people who studied and seem to actually understand this stuff, and it seems correct per the article here.
You misread my comment. The natural fallacy is the one vegans claim. Not me. The vegan claim is that we are naturally vegans and have been duped into being meat eaters. And I'm debunking it.

And my point wasn't that we should do something just because it's been done before. My point is that if veganism was "natural and optimal", then why hasn't any human society in history adopted it? Because humans cannot survive on a vegan diet without supplements.

In other words, my point is that if the vegan assertion that "veganism is the optimal natural human diet" ( aka what humans were meant to eat ), why has no human society ever adopted it and why can't humans survive on a vegan diet in nature.
It’s a cycle.

Everything begins as tech, and ends as just another part of the economy. Heavy industry was once high-tech: Ford was the biggest tech giant of its day. Even something as basic as steel manufacturing was once novel technology.

Technology is only innovation which has yet to reach ubiquity.

According to Wikipedia, WeChat was first released in January 2011, while Snapchat only came out in September 2011. I conclude that Snapchat is more likely to be a clone of WeChat than the other way around.

Edit: To be clear, while I haven't used Snapchat, based on what I've heard about it I'd say that the two apps are nothing alike except for having some kind of chat functionality.

It's fair that a cheap test might not be super accurate, but then why are they stating figures like "13%" if the margin of error is at least 10 percentage points? That's just plain misleading.

When my doctor asks how tall I am, if I'm 6'1", then 6'1" is a good answer. 6' (or even better: about 6') can also be an acceptable answer, as it's an approximation. I wouldn't say I'm 6'8", and then try to rationalize it by saying my tape measure is cheap, and anyway it's still right to about 10%.

Reporting what you don't know can be just as important as reporting what you do know. It doesn't matter how good your laboratory method is if you can't report results in a way that doesn't mislead customers.

It is no more an attack on all men then anti-immigration messages are an attack on all foreigners, or "anti-terrorism" policies are an attack on all Muslims.

An objective cultural conversation would mean first that there is a shared respect. If the message is that toxic Muslims need to be stopped, that Islam culture sometimes encouraged and reinforce harmful behavior, some Muslims will feel that this is a general attack on them. Especially if we tell them that it is every Muslims responsibility to stop the bad behavior of other Muslims, and that Muslims parents need to talk with their Muslims children to treat people of other religions with dignity.

Is it that hard to see why a Muslim, who has nothing to do with terrorism, might take offense and see it as hate towards them as a demographic if that message was presented on an advertisement for razors? I would not, nor if you changed the targeted demographic to be jews, African Americans, LGBT, women, men, or any other. This is not how you create a inclusive and productive environment for a cultural conversation.

very true, in the sense that rote memorization is not the point.

but false in the sense that doing math requires fluency - in applying a small amount of technique up to lower division math, and in applying a large number of definitions/results after that. in areas like abstract algebra, failing to memorize will kill you. it is as disfluent as writing text in a foreign language without having memorized the working vocabulary and grammar; even if you can eventually recall, derive or look up what you need, it's just not practical to work like that. (and i say this as someone who prefers to mentally index information rather than memorizing...)
CIC tracks radar. Lights don't show up on radar. This might make sense as an excuse for poor visual watchkeeping, but won't save the officer on duty in CIC. Also how can anyone claim that grainy black & white blob proves anything about what lights were on or what color those lights were?
This advice works great if a person is in a majority. The problem happens when a person is in a minority.

Imagine if in America in the 1910's a person has a reasonable dissenting opinion like, "I think all citizens should have equal civil rights." If I was there I would be hesitant to attach to this opinion to my public identify. Especially if my employment relied on me voicing an opinion in agreement with the majority.

This seems to have a chilling effect that prevents anyone from voicing an opinion that is not already close to being in the majority.

Even if you valued your own time at market rates, it would probably take less of your time than it would of someone else's, because shipping has more intermediate steps.
