It is not a strawman when we're talking about the US trying to "protect" giant and unhinged companies such as Google, Microsoft, Apple, ExonMobil, JPMorgan, and Goldman Sachs. In fact what happens is the opposite, these companies are in large part controlling the country, which puts us in a similar situation as the Chinese.
From a biology perspective, the value in DNA synthesis has plateaus. (I’m curious about analogies to other commodities?)

If you can build small runs (<50base pairs) you can make small mutations to dna, or read particular sections of dna. If you can make dna larger than the average protein (~2000bp) you can invent new proteins from scratch rather than modify existing protein sequences. If you can make dna longer than a plasmid (~10,000bp) you can creatively invent a minimal viable replicable and deliverable unit (a plasmid (bacterial virus)). If you can do millions if base pairs you get to chromosomes and can invent Eucaryotic-transmissable storage.

But until you leap those plateaus, you can likely saturate the intervening market. So even if there’s massive pent up theoretical demand for the wholesale invention of genes, there’s no way to really demonstrate it in the current market.

This inability to estimate demand may make it a tricky spot to invest in.

Can I first correct you on two major errors in your statement. TWO AOA vanes are NOT an option on any aircraft. Every aircraft have two vanes as standard. the option is for a small AOA position indicator icon on the top corner on the main screen for the captains side. also there is no AOA disagree light. This is an amber AOA disagree text that appears on the screen. I can only say that on my airline this is standard as it was on the 737 NG in our fleet.
The ocean would take a while to corrode through a couple dozen cm of steel, especially in cold water. But you're right that eventual leakage is a concern. A viable design of this kind of system would have to come with a sink-safely-and-cool design fully engineered as well as a designed recovery process. In other words, it should be expected that a recovery and disposal operation will be required (even though it's unlikely to be needed). This system should be designed so the salvage/recovery operation is easy.

Nuclear accidents generally worry about something called Large Early Release Frequency. Some of the most bioactive/dangerous fission products decay away in a few days. This kind of scenario completely eliminates those FPs from concern, though we do still have to worry about the longer-lived ones.
4G should be able to give pings much lower than 150ms. The internet says 50ms I have seen even faster.

Maybe you can try another provider.
It is more than reasonable, you’ll be reducing your dependencies and the surface area for bugs. SQL is well documented and provides more features than any ORM, especially if you’re using postgres. And if you ever need to expose a REST API you can just slap postgrest in front of the DB.
Ahem, Marshall's plan? It also left the affected countries better off, not indebted (although I doubt that China will have many attached strings in Italy's case)

I would have thought they'd address that by having a movable stand/holder for the part - so they could easily spin/tip it around while keeping it in the optimum place for viewing (rather than moving your head/eye around to look at the right place). Of course I know nothing about any of this, but it seems like it would be easier for the user. Maybe I'm missing something about the hands not being available for that movement (pedals then?). Just interesting to think about.
Trains are still the most fuel economical way to transport products through long distances. And trains can also transport loads to intermediary locations in a much more efficient way than ships.

As said previously, they used to use these, but having an induction loop means you can never have an MRI as this would superheat the coil. I'd rather have the option of an MRI should I need it, and a daycase procedure to change my batteries.
Agreed. It's not right to single out any religion, particularly insomuch as some flavor of this insularity can be found in every stream of religious thought that has ever existed

Generally, I have low tolerance for any group that segregates most of their existence from the greater whole - but then demands accommodation from the greater whole. Most Jews, Christians and Muslims do not - but some do - those communities who refuse to participate in broader society are in my mind inherently forfeiting their place at the table - simply put, you cannot expect broader society to accommodate your particular needs if you don't participate in it.
I do all those things, and in two months I’ve used 17 gigs on my iPhone XR. I’ve got eight devices on a Verizon unlimited plan with 25G soft cap, and I’ve never come up to the point where I’ve been throttled.
Yes, just the amount of selectors.

Properties/values is another metric worth knowing.

I think that getting a number for both these metrics in the stylesheets rather than the page currently viewed is more useful if you are working on a site.

As well as the stylesheets that are external the rules in an embedded stylesheet are useful. My ideal tool takes a page and gets those metrics from attached stylesheets as well as the inline stylesheets, with inline styles totalled up too.

I have had a go at this using DomDocument PHP but took a guess at the rules based on the total count of '{' - terrible hack, but okay for ballpark figures. I would prefer to be able to do it properly, but I have not got anywhere trying to do it the node way. I didn't even know about CSSTree/AST.
The price / rent multiple is not analogous to a P/E ratio. Rather, it is similar to an Enterprise / revenue multiple. The distinction is important because, as an investor in apartment properties, I can tell you that the Net operating income margin (roughly analogous to an EBITDA margin for C-Corps is much, much higher in San Francisco than in other places. For example, the NOI margin in San Francisco is usually about 75%. In Merced California, it is about 30%. Once you subtract Capital Expenditures, the 30% is cut almost in half. Basically what I’m saying is that the net cash flow, after Capital Expenditures, in many “C” and below locations is basically zero. Thus, the price has to go very low to entice investors to buy there. This is not irrational behavior.
Go is simpler than most other high performance languages - easy to read and understand unfamiliar codebases. It helps that go compiles to native binaries for various platforms and runs with no or minimal dependencies.
My parents' retirement fund consists largely of an apartment building, a substantial portion of which is rented by section 8 (ie low income) tenants. The variance in cash flow is pretty dramatic, from both an expenses and a non-payment of rent perspective. Tenant protections are robust enough that, more than once, they've ended up in a situation where it takes four months of missed rent + legal fees before a non-paying tenant could be evicted, which is a cool $10k chopped right off of their income. To say nothing of the occasional expenses you wouldn't see in higher-income properties: the same tenant protections mean that units can become almost hazardously filthy before the landlord can intervene, and when they leave, they obviously don't tend to clean up.

Higher rents effectively function as an insurance policy for these expenses, and your insurance policy is obviously going to overcover rather than undercover. Higher risk (ie variance) investments mean higher returns, for the simple fact that the value of a high-variance investment will be lower than that of a low-variance one with a given expected return, for obvious reasons.

The only reason to be ignoring variance If your goal is shitty advocacy instead of intellectual honesty, which, as others have pointed out, is obviously the case with the authors of this study.

> There would be less need for safety technology if everyone was driving around at 60kph, not 100kph.

That's like saying you don't need to wear a helmet while bicycling as long as you don't go faster than X.

When in reality just falling over while standing still, can already give you quite a good knock on your head, depending on where you are landing with it. Just like you can't control the speed of other traffic participants.

Even if you lowered the allowed speeds across the board, people would still end up speeding, probably even more so than they are doing already.

In that context safety features should never be "optional extras" [0] because they usually are not "trade-offs" but straight up improvements.

Imagine a student has finished reading something they wrote in front of their creative writing class. Someone raises their hand and responds with "Wow that was creepy. Your life must be pretty bleak".

Of course you're entitled to those thoughts, but I think it's a good idea to couch them differently or at least to get into the reason why you had that reaction.

I can understand a negative reaction to a project like this. There's some amount of narcissism involved in writing down everything I know and then publishing it. There's also some amount of narcissism involved in writing anything at all and assuming that other people will be interested in it. There's also narcissism in me reacting negatively to your comment and then criticizing your post, as if I have something worthwhile that I want to transmit to you. Yeah, yeah: "All is vanity". But we want people to write things down and share them, right? We want people to communicate, say what they think, and risk being wrong or creepy, right?

My general thoughts are, when criticizing something something like this, err on the side of charity. Negative reactions are fine, but couch them and explain them.
I don't think "keft join" is the same as "left join".

"select * from table1 keft join table2 using (somecol)" is an inner join of table1 and table2, but table1 is assigned the alias "keft", because "AS" between table and its alias is optional.
No, they are not.

Ships try to deliver cargo as deep in the country as possible. Then trucks take over ( Europe), because of different destinations.

I can't actually figure out what happened to 'Tebaatusasula: EBOLA'. It looks like their film 'Bad Black' got a decent amount of attention in 2016, though.
Al Jazeera wrote about the studio in 2018, so it seems they might still be going, but it mentions 'Tebaatusasula: EBOLA' still being a future release.

Except apple then released their own competing service that doesn't have to play by the same rules. In effect this raises the cost of customer acquisition both within and outside of the app store. Spotify's take on things basically says as much. They were willing to work in the app store and pass the apple tax on to consumers until apple created their offering and made that too untenable.

> Japan soared from a destroyed country to an economic powerhouse, before being brought down by the bankers at the BOJ, ostensibly to change the system from a 'state backed economy' to a US-styled one. Ditto with the Asian tigers in Thailand, S Korea etc.

You're talking about some of the most successful economies in the world, vs a China that grew a lot in a short time and now faces real problems (debt, slowdown, political crackdowns, etc.)

I'd still rather be a citizen of SK or Japan than China.
I can understand the "ick" factor - putting this much of oneself online, without any contextual filter, embodies a level of intimacy unusual with strangers. I don't think it's weird to find it discomfiting seeing notes about machine learning side by side with relationship advice. It feels like a bit much from one guy.

But I think it's very unfair to say it paints a very bleak picture of his life. I jumped straight to the Seduction section after your comment, half-expecting some kind of PUA crap. But it's just filled with the kind of solid advice you get from your dad. Maintain eye contact. Don't slouch. Be honest and genuine. Compliment effort, not intrinsic beauty. Flirt with body language and small amounts of touch, but don't be aggressive. It's all pretty standard, solid stuff.
US underground nuclear waste dump explained
When they advertise through other channels, a significant fraction of the users they get will turn out to be iOS users, who, regardless of what the CTA is, will respond by installing it on their phone through the Apple Store. They start out as free users. Apple then disallows any attempt to convert them into paid users via the app, and also via email, and also via pretty much any targeted channel. So Spotify would have to not only give up on the channel, but also mostly give up on that customer segment.
In fairness, from the perspective of the average Greek citizen, the EU thing hasn't worked out terribly well for their homeland.

In the West what we need is to restructure our facilities such that if you participate you will prosper. We need for everyone to prosper. Not necessarily equally, but what happened to Greece went beyond simply not prospering as much as other nations. It was legitimately negatively impacted. (A lot self inflicted, but a lot inflicted by the structure of Western trade facilities as well.)

Having mentioned all that, I grant you, having all parties prosper at EU scale is a little difficult to pull off.
I also have many years of experience with large-scale C++, and my experience is very different from yours. The difference, I suspect, is that browsers are actively attacked, via fuzzers and so forth. When you have contests like Pwn2Own targeting you, it's very eye-opening how many memory safety bugs you are shipping, even in fancy modern C++.

(I also disagree that modern C++ is safer than classic C++. Modern C++ adds more invisible ways to get use-after-free, which is pernicious.)

“But the SEC, despite its burden to demonstrate by clear and convincing evidence that Musk violated the Order, fails to identify any other option for who would have that discretion. In fact, there is no other plausible interpretation of the Order or the Policy. If Musk were not vested with this discretion, then he would need to submit all Tesla-related tweets for review by Disclosure Counsel prior to posting. That is not what the Parties agreed to, nor what the Policy or Order requires.“

why paint when you can take a photo?

there is a lot of wisdom in art, and a lot that goes beyond just the aesthetical aspects of it. Mechanical timepieces are appealing to people for different reasons. Some enjoy the luxury aspect as it can be enjoyed as much as jewelery, others enjoys the engineering part of it as it can see as a wonderful machine, very precise and delicate, others like the little rituals involved, winding it up for non-automatics or looking at the inner workings by exposed complications, and others link it to memory as those timepieces pass through generations of their famillies. Time keeping is just part of it, not its whole.
your description of "grafting in" consul and vault _is_ exactly what it feels like to do that with kubernetes, and it happens rather often.

Using industry standard components like consul and vault is not really a second thought for k8s in production, leaving you with duplicated hunks of infrastructure to step around, where the idea of tacking on kube-dns and kubernetes ~secrets~ onto something else is rather laughable. This, again, is the point which was being made -- you're forced to bear the brunt of kubernetes' NIH.

I'll assume by the contrived situations of inventing some wacky custom mousetrap to bind nomad to dns rather than using the "slapped in" (https://www.nomadproject.io/docs/configuration/consul.html) consul integration for dns, or writing config update/logs/rolling deployment code rather than using the core nomad scheduler features to do that, that you don't actually know, and this is FUD?
An interesting article describing a useful framework.

In addition to the largest numbers that floating point can handle, a related issue can come up with numbers that are not near the edge.

A good student of floating point numbers will notice that there is a good chance you will get a different result summing a list of floating point numbers if they are sorted in a different order. This is due to the rounding error that can happen if you add a large number to a smaller one. Thus, if you add up all the small numbers first, you can get an intermediate sum that is large enough to not overflow when added to the next on the list. Thus, you should sort an array of floating point numbers and begin the summation with the smallest.

Some careful thought is needed if numbers are important to your computation. While the author of this article makes important points about one aspect of this, they seem to shrug off further study of the referenced 30 page paper at https://hal.archives-ouvertes.fr/file/index/docid/576641/fil....

The authors of that paper, however, seems to misstate one vital point. They note that the mathematical formulas are "unstable", but to the point of working with floating point numbers, it isn't the mathematics that is unstable, it is the failure to understand how deeply modern floating point numbers are an approximation. Methods that fail to take this into account will be unstable.
I read it, it's good. Would be good to visit there sometime.

Countering OBOR is only on the agenda of DoD and some policy wonks. What happened here ? Almost nothing.

An ailing economy that has high youth unemployment rate and anemic growth and cannot control its monetary policy is willing to take money from who ever is willing to give. Big Deal! When Italian Navy is doing war games with China.. call me.

This is a whole lot of symbolism and a costly one for those putting money. Its not Americans who do not want this dog and pony show, its the Germans.

Russians and Chinese are playing the same game, with different tactics and some elements of western media are eating it. They are weak internally and use these external symbolism as a "proof of strength" back home.
As convenient as it might be to burn VW at the stake for this as the "sacrificial lamb", that misses the point.

Because VW ain't the only ones who engage in these kinds of tactics, by now it seems like it's some kind of "open industry secret" how manufacturers try to get the best measuring results during environmental testing for those good ratings, which directly translates to good marketing.

The biggest problem with the BRI initiative as sold by China, is it puts money in the hand of the least trusted entity with developing economies. The Government.

China for certain, knows that the optimistic promise of the BRI initiative will be met, and that they are trading long term debt with strong political influence.

What happened in Srilanka should be a warning to any other country intending to enter BRI.

There is a reason these countries would never start these projects without outside support. It is because, within the framework that the country operates, such a project will objectively speaking, never be profitable.

Right, Italy should leverage an Orwellian authoritarian regime to start a bidding war to build its infrastructure in exchange for implied future foreign relations favors and it's clearly the US's fault here for not playing its role as bidder.
I totally agree here. Im an AME with Max Licence and i would have to say. Im quite sure this wasnt an AOA sensor. The FCC thats active with MCAS as its function (both have this Function) would have been looking at the right vane on one flight and then the left vane on the next flight, however on the last 3 legs the fault was the same. And trust me on this one. May have been different indications bbut all pointed at the same fault. I suspect the FCC or ADIRU was at fault or something it aircraft installation that was inducing the 20 degree difference between the 2.
