Beta Testing Opportunity for World's Fastest Mesh Router
Hi, We are excited about the launch of our SURFboard mAX AX11000 router which is a gigabit Mesh Wi-Fi network solution that scales to match your home and your needs. First of its kind, this tri-band 802.11ax mesh Wi-Fi system with true gigabit speeds is up to 400 times faster and 400 times the range of 802.11ac. Two 802.11ax access points do the work of three older 802.11ac units. Our team is trying hard to make it a commercial success and hence we need testers like you to be a part of this journey and to be the early adopters of the 802.11ax technology. Based on your profile and responses we’ll reach out to you if you are selected for the upcoming beta test
As much as I rely on USPS for a lot of things and love them for it, I'm still sore at them for very obviously sharing my postal address with a bunch of spam mailers. I foolishly filed an official change-of-address with them when I moved cities a few years ago -- and immediately started getting junk mail from all manner of companies, addressed to me personally, at my new residence.

Code is so vulnerable right now that only a small number of projects/products get high payments from companies wanting to buy exploits. If this affects the situation, it will be marginal with an increase in vulnerabilities whose number is a drop in the bucket compared to what's already being introduced with poor QA and found by bug hunters. Here's just one project as an example:

Precisely. Right now, apart from Tesla the one big manufacturer that has made plans to source massive amounts of batteries is Toyota.

I absolutely love this software. Combined with Alfred (where I've generated a set of Keybindings), I'm able to tile effectively, and haven't thought about Window size in months. Love it.
It's from the use of `vmin`, which is better used for padding/margins than text. CSS accepts units of measure, `vmin` in this case, interchangeably wherever a property accepts units of measure. Font sizes accept unit of measure, so the site author decided to use `vmin` for the font size.
There is an app called Magnet on the appstore (I'm not affiliated in any way). Anyway, it does 60% of what this does with 0 hassle.

I love the idea of chunkwm, but I don't have a lot of spare time.
> How likely is it for two sperm to be [at least] 78% identical?

According to the paper:

> "Our results show that the twins share 78% of their paternal genome, which is 1.5 SD above the expected 50% allele sharing of independent paternal genomes."

1.5 SD and above corresponds to a 6.7% chance likelihood, or 1 in 15.

I've definitely ended up crashing in a love hotel or two in Seoul after a night out drinking and 노래방 singing. Never used it for the commonly assumed use, more crash pad and hangover.

Pretty cheap (compared to hotels), better accommodations than most Korean hotels (those that are meant for Koreans) I've stayed in and usually have hangover cure drinks in the fridge and free internet.

I'm sometimes kind of unsure why the real hotels are so expensive and these things are so cheap. I often feel like if they just went "legit" with the current rates they might do better, but what do I know?
This hits home for me and my experiences.

People often believe what they see and first impressions are strong. I seem like a perfectly functional hearing person 97% of the time, but the 3% of the time when I can't cover the gap, people tend to react with incredulity because they can't believe I have an actual disability. Some days I just don't want to deal with it because it's exhausting.

I've never really found a good solution to this that doesn't just require patience and persistence from the start. The best approach I've found is to be up-front from the start about my deafness and then to just "lie" about not being able to hear periodically to reinforce the "he's got a hearing problem" memory.

In the past, I used to try to be explicit and say things like "I'm sorry, but the air conditioning or something is droning and I can't hear you well," but that generally derails as people try to explain my own hearing to me with things like "that's so quiet, how it is louder than me" or "if you can hear THAT you should be able to hear me," etc.

So if you are not paying to IDA's authors either way, what is the difference?

I'd say, by learning to use IDA through a pirated version you create a possibility that one day you will use it for something more serious and you or your employers will pay for it.

One possible argument against that is that by learning how to use all IDA features through a pirated version, you erase the competitive advantage of people who can afford to pay right from the start and remove their incentive to pay.

To that I'd say you would be just levelling the playing field :)

New Scientist is pretty bad; sort of the weekly world news of science.

I completely agree with you about SciAm. I like quantamagazine myself. Though most science journalism is very, very bad these days. I'm guessing because not much is going on in the sciences; most of the research is pretty bad as well.
Also, don't we forget all about (evolutionary) game theory?

There are loads of situations where pacifism, or a least tit-for-tat, represents a stable evolutionary equilibrium.
This should not be surprising.
This is a rather confusing list of grievances. I have no idea why it's being upvoted, except maybe that any broadside against journalism currently finds its audience?

As far as I can tell, the author mostly wants journalists to focus more on what people want to read.

That's rather surprising, considering the criticism usually revolves around journalists writing too much for the market, i. e. the perennial complaints about page view maximisation, buzzfeed's big clickstream leaderboard, too much political horse-race coverage, emotional storytelling, etc etc.

In fact, the article here makes this point almost explicit: "newsrooms aren’t empathizing, prototyping, or testing their work with their audience before they publish." Count me among those quite happy with newsrooms not deciding coverage on the basis on "empathizing and prototyping". Because that would seem the quickest path into the filter bubble.

The article also ignores that most journalism already reaches its audience by what I would consider "pull", in as far as the concept has any meaning: I pay for magazines and a newspaper, and follow some publications and journalists on twitter or RSS.

The author complains about journalists "PUSHES LIKE HELL" (all-caps theirs). I have no idea what that's supposed to mean, really. Posting the article to Twitter and Facebook? The author lists "[..] email blasts, social media campaigns – and, possibly worst of all, paid social media campaigns". The first two seem completely benign, except that they are phrased to suggest some sort of malfeasance. A newsletter you presumedly signed up for is not an "email blast", it's just an email. Nor are social media posts the same as "social media campaigns". As to paid social media posts, I rarely if ever see see any paid advertising for individual stories. Does anybody?

Another complaint is journalists ignoring facts contradicting their pet theories, and not asking sources that would contradict them. That's a complaint seemingly completely unrelated to the article's main thesis. But in any case, it's mostly fantasy. Read any article in, say, Politico, The Atlantic, or the NYT and you will find either a quote from the subject of an article, or a statement such as "XYZ declined to comment / did not reply to a request for comment".
I am asking to what point is society willing to bend justice for it's long term goals. It has happened to all societies in history to some degree.

This is nothing but a "marketing 3.0" advertisement for a product called "nice page".

Someone likely advised them to write a blog article all about how everyone needs "web design 3.0", and position the product as the solution to everyone's problem.

The thing is, they forgot about responsive design. If everything is overlapping everything else, you will end up with a very nasty problem of what to do on different size screens, and scrolling, and font size, and zoom levels etc.

You can safely skip the article, as it's nothing but a messy concept around "web design 3.0" (which isn't a thing) and a lead into the inevitable pricing page...

Can you show me statistically that Google is any more likely to discontinue something than any other startup? Or than Apple or Amazon?

A few people got upset about Google discontinuing Reader, but that was a looong time ago. And they've certainly discontinued other things to... but just like every other company.
The really simple model for an egg being fertilized by two sperm is that you'd get one fertilized zygote with three sets of chromosomes, fully triploid. Such a zygote would miscarry pretty quickly.

To get a less nonviable chimera, you need the egg to divide exactly once, such that one half gets one of the sperm and the other half gets the other one. If there is a mechanism that tends to ensure this happens, then it feels like that mechanism might also be related to the twinning (tripling, apparently) of the zygote under discussion here.
With renewables due to changing weather and demand, prices for electricity at international markets are falling regularly, sometimes even becoming negative (keeping the frequency is must), only to rise again when there is more demand than supply.

Desalination plants have the advantage that, as long as you have overcapacities compared to the average needs around, they can be turned on when energy is cheap and off when it's expensive. While they are operating, they would fill reservoirs that would provide a continuous supply of water.

There might be a thermodynamic limit onto how much energy you need to desalinate water, but the limits of harvesting renewable energy are far from being reached. We might make the sahara green, in this very century.
So far, they are replicating known results from evolutionary game theory (pacifism & niches) to economics (distance & diversification).

> They mentioned a 3rd embryo not being viable as it only contained sperm DNA.

The CBC journalist misunderstood what the research article was saying. They did not detect Y1-Y2 cells, but cite research on bovines zygotes that found that in addition to the X-Y1 and X-Y2 cell lines, a Y1-Y2 cell line will also form, but this cell line will "undergo growth arrest before somitogenesis", accounting for why they did not find such cells in these twins. So the zygote can be presumed to have had cell lines with three different detectable gene combinations, but the paternal-paternal line cells are entirely or at least mostly terminated very early in development. Figure 3 in the original paper is a really nice illustration of how this proceeded. There was never a separate paternal-paternal embryo, contrary to the journalist's misunderstanding, but there likely was a separate paternal-paternal cell line. It's conceivable there could still be trace Y1-Y2 cells in both twins (just as both have X-Y1 and X-Y2 cells), but they are below limits that were detectable in the study and most likely they all were arrested from further division and died off.

>> average salary in 2016-17 was ~$38k [0]

average STARTING salary -- I think you knew that and "conveniently" left out that one important word. Big difference.

A very brief look at your NEA source (i.e. the lobbying org for teachers, so of course it is biased) reveals that it is obviously flawed. $38+change is the average of each state's average salary -- like the Senate, it gives equal representation to California and to Wyoming. It's pretty easy to see that the most populous states tend to have averages above $38k, in fact many well above $40 (Cali, Texas, NY, PA) while many of the lowest salaries are from much smaller states (W.Va, Montana, Idaho). There is no way, if the state averages are accurate, that the national average is only $38+change. I think you know this too but choose to quote these stats verbatim anyway.

I will also note public school teachers have almost zero chance of getting fired, no worries about their "company" going out of business or bought out or taken over, and become eligible for generous pensions.

> Question: do people want to buy cheap glasses?

Yes, I grew up with my Mom taking me to an expensive glasses store and the salesman's sales pitch was, "My stuff is the best because it's expensive". I didn't know anything because I was age 7 or 8. I was sort of indoctrinated into shopping there, but a few years ago an online store called Googles4u had a $10.00 for glasses and frames deal. It was likely as a loss-leader, but I realized that I didn't see any better out of the expensive Elissor / Hoya glasses with all of the top-of-the-line coatings than I did the no-name cheap glasses. They also made me feel a lot more relaxed. Before I was so worried about dropping them or losing them in the water but now I had a carefree attitude.

1. You are forgetting that with today's globalized society and its MNCs, sometimes 75%+ of the profit comes from elsewhere (whether a different country or city or state). A automobile factory won't be selling most of their cars to Monty city right? The labor and infrastructure can also be found elsewhere sometimes at a discount.

3. It can take decades to build an industry or/and expertise. The structure of the business itself can be hard to model. Besides, you have now lost a leader in the industry and will now try to catch-up.

That is one of the tricky aspects of this issue, how much hurt is society willing to take for X wrong that someone or a company did? Both society, the individual and businesses have to be smart about it and balance the risks/rewards.

Is there evidence of this? Everyone says it but it always seems extreme (Seriously? $11bn to corruption?).
