Unfortunately, the article handwaves the one thing I’ve been struggling with the most: chromosomes.

What is the relationship between chromosomes and the human genome?

I somewhat get that a chromosome is somewhat of a partition of the genome, but how does the „two copies“ phenomenon of the human genome and the „two copies“ thing of chromosomes fit together? Are those one and the same concept?

Are there two copies of the XY chromosome, too?

It can be used in non-interactive mode from scripts, e.g.

This is a simple way to extract the content of a web page as plain text.
So true. I used to love meeting friends or colleagues for coffee but now I know I probably won’t get a seat wading through a sea of laptops.

DevRant – successes and frustrations with code, tech and life as a programmer
One scene in the trailer showed a smaller model on a table; what if they use the Minecraft for mobile's UI to create a model in-game, which you can then place (to scale) in a location?
I use git annex for my library. This way I can easily replicate my 3 TB archive to multiple devices. Since my notebook is size constrained, I can clone my archive and just pull the files I actually need.
Do you even play, bro? Building is not performed while standing still, also it is quite finicky. Walking around touching the screen will get old really fast.
I have high respect for you. As for myself, I'll play the student card and bow out, haha :)
The balance still would need to be balanced.
Having tried several video game streaming services over the years, I am not optimistic that streaming games will work for fast action games like shooters. The lag between a controller move and screen response is just not adequate, even when the server is only a few hops away with low ping values on an excellent network connection.
You seem to think that the system will be used to boost kids with high adversity scores. Many colleges desperately want kids who will pay full tuition. But they also want to claim they're "need blind." Voila. The "adversity" score tells them whether the kids came from a rich neighborhood.
It's almost as if a few decades of being told that mental health is for wusses and making it exceedingly expensive due to crappy health care is paying off with a bang.

Not to mention that middle aged people at this point are firmly in the generation that the media has literally been ignoring for a very long time. At the same time, that generation is taking care of the two generations that always do get all the attention (their kids and their parents).
Sadly it worked until users were taught to expect everything for free (see how every single time someone posts something here or on Reddit that costs money, there is at least one post - often more - with free "alternatives" upvoted near the top) and other developers spreading FUD against you if you do not release the code - even if you give your software away for free.

Of course if you are going to receive harassment either way, might as well get paid for it.
And FWIW in Australia they're called footpaths.
English is my native language, and I think the way you used "right" was fine. At any rate, I understood what you meant.

Many bands on Bandcamp offer bundles of vinyl, CDs, t-shirts, etc. with the digital download. One example off the top of my head:

>Also I don't really understand why anyone on Linux would want this. The fact that I can recompile all of the software I use, is a really important feature to me and not a distribution problem. I can see why Apple wanted this to simplify distribution via their Appstore, but IMO that's mostly to work-around their specific distribution problems. I don't see any of those problems on Linux.

Couldn't agree more and yet Snap and Flatpack exist. It's probably so that third-parties can package closed-source stuff for all distros easily. These days one of the first things I do on a fresh Ubuntu install is get rid of snapd because they use it for things where it's useless (e.g., gnome-calculator). If someday they stop packaging the apps directly I'll probably finally go back to Debian.
It sounds like something from the last book of the Three Body Problem trilogy
My City of seven square miles as part of a general obligation bond they have issued is spending $2 million to put in 30 cameras throughout the City.

The police and local politicians feel that most visible way to fight crime is to pull people over for any and all violations flagged by ALPR this will happen more and more.

Did I mention that the City is a heavily visited tourist City?

Expect more armed stops by police on "stolen" cars as well.

Sadly there is zero thought given to privacy "protections" either for the data.
They don't need to, Rockstar and some others have shown that you can make a mint with largely broken games, and even encourage griefing.
Just to be clear, the "according to Google" part is completely off.

Google has thousands of developers writing Python for ML every day. TF is in Python, and remains in Python.

Chris Lattner (the creator of Swift at Apple) joined the Tensorflow team and is working on futuristic approaches to compiling ML programs. He (personally) evaluated a bunch of languages for next-gen and decided Swift is the right one. So he has a small team of folks working on that project exploring how Swift can be used. That's very far from any official decision of Google on anything. Google has people writing ML in Java, C++, Python, Haskell, Lua and Javascript as well.
Would be interesting to hear how "interesting" this article is for an international audience. As a Swede I am sick and tired about all speculation over the years. It is like a wound that never heals. We will never know for sure. Probably like the JFK assasination.
Maybe more like shaking a plate of magnets around. Shake a little, they start to clump up. Shake long enough, there's only one large magnet stack. If the shake time follows a pattern, then most places will have similar planetary distribution e.g. few small planets and a couple of big ones?
Interesting. I can't imagine they're doing all this out of the goodness of their hearts. Wonder if they'll follow the cosmetic upgrade store, or something more akin to PokemonGO's monetization mechanics
I asked them and for up to 40TB/month it's okay. This is 80000 views of 10 minutes full hd video. The chance that someone gets this popular is quite small.

If you are really really popular investing in a cdn is likely the only solution and for this you need some money, be it from advertising, donations or memberships. But this is the same on Youtube too, only that Youtube does the advertising for you and takes a cut.
If we believe we can have driverless cars in 10 years, I don't understand why we can't have smart speed limiters as a first step now.
TESS was launched last year and saw first light on August 7. Most existing data comes from Kepler and terrestrial observations.
Clickbait. They aren't banning scooters from anywhere - you just can't physically ride them on the sidewalk anymore.....if anyone was dumb enough to anyway.
I agree with everything you just said, but I want to add a counterpoint. About a year ago, YouTube Music started playing ads for depression medication for me constantly. My music choice is...err...not particularly happy most of the time. I actually first noticed the ad after listening to a song called "Happy Pills." I have no evidence that I was profiled based on my music choice aside from this one coincidence, but it was enough to make me question if I want Google to know everything I listen to.

Music gives insight into the emotional state of a person, so it could become a very real privacy concern, if it isn't being exploited already.
As covered in the article, the reference object loses some of it's atoms every time it is handled. The smaller the reference object, the larger the relative error induced this way.

This interesting idea has been addressed in some way by Altered Carbon, hasn't it?
About 25%.
I had the feeling the author was talking about out-of-print books. It was talked about a bit, but that wasn't the main emphasis.

I guess a hybrid model would be good. If you can get your book to a publisher, they'll pay you that initial signing price, and royalties. Often you get the benefits of their promotion networks. Sometimes you have to agree to book tours or talks depending on the type of book/publisher.

Then after your book has been pulled from print, or it's only printed on-demand from Amazon sales, see if you can give it an open access release. That way an author can get that initial bump of money, plus the possibility of long tail readership.

If you're an author lucky enough to get really popular (with a fiction novel) and your book takes off, obviously the 2nd part won't come about and maybe you should just try to see that it happens in your will after you've past. However few published authors are RR Martins or Kim Robinsons. ... Although, now I wonder what type of world we'd be in if great authors, instead of passing on book rights to their families/estates, arranged for their books to be Creative Commons after they die.

If it was a PR move, is "we don't do evil walled garden anymore" more important than "Azure rocks and we do a lot of shit with it, look at this case study"?
Of course, but if this was the only litter, or the majority of it, that would be great.

I was taught from a young age not to litter, so are my kids.

It's a simple idea that's "free" and can be used everywhere to stop litter today.
This reminds me of when I first discovered Minecraft in university. I was just going to play for a couple hours before bed, and I got sucked into the game-loop and before I knew it the sun was coming up. A few days later, I was walking toward the railroad crossing I often had to wait at between my house and campus, and just for a moment looked at those tracks and I seriously thought about where I should place the Minecraft blocks to build a bridge and avoid waiting for the train.

I decided to take a long break from Minecraft after that.
Building things is expensive and requires lots of resources. Kids don't have those.
I'd split your first point in two:

- Shell scripting for running commands and managing files

- Unix utilities for processing text

These happen to complement each other nicely. It's not that bash is better at manipulating text than Python, it's that Python makes it painful to invoke commands (like those Unix utilities) and pipe data between them (e.g. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17733865 ).
I hope you got all of your kids and relatives to sign off on that, if you have any.
Let's get one thing straight here: neither I nor anybody else is arguing that renewables (which are currently mostly intermittant) can replace non-renewable sources. They are, however, complementary: the more power you generate from the renewables, the longer you can stretch out the supply of the non-renewables. And that is an unqualified good.

Of course the problem just moved. That isn't necessarily a bad thing, because the way that it moves can itself be beneficial.

> If you assume that electricity from renewables are randomly distributed in time across your grid then all countries can do that.

That's not an argument I'm making. The closest I come to that is that the distribution of power sources across different interconnected grids can compensate for each other.

Distribution isn't random: geography figures into this hugely. Ireland has vast areas off its Atlantic coasts to put off-shore windfarms in addition to the current mostly land-based ones.

Most wind power generated, especially off-shore, is generated around the time of peak hours. That means a potential surplus around the same time, which can be sent elsewhere, where they're also hitting their peak hours. At the risk of vastly oversimplifying things, power can flow back and forward over the interconnects, covering the difference, and we're good enough at forecasting usage and availability at this point that the surpluses and deficits can be accounted.

Intermittant and non-intermittant sources are complementary. The problem is moved, but
>the justification and hyphenation algorithms in ePub readers are typically complete crap.

IMO, ePub readers have the best justification algorithm: flush left, and the best hyphenation algorithm: never hyphenate. PDFs often force full justification on you, which makes it harder to read because all the line endings have the same spacing, making it easy to lose your position in the text.

Ask HN: Getting started with local (non-cloud) movie and music collection?
For my home, I'd like to get started with a home movie and music collection. In particular, now that I have kids I'd like a curated collection and not have to rely on Prime/Netflix/Google.

A bunch of sub-questions:
-Any good software/hardware for getting this setup? Prefer to have multiple devices in the house (iphone, computer) be able to access the "central storage" via wifi.
-I'd like to grow a MP3 and digital movie collection. Any good "getting started" guides for getting those? E.g. ripping my CD and DVD collection.
-I know my local library has some good content to incorporate... any other hidden gems of content?
Alright, I'm intrigued. What use case isn't filled by most nightclubs?

-Bouncers often compulsively search you in order to make sure you don't bring extra alcohol inside

-Prices are at a ridiculous premium, typically to profit from the artificial scarcity but also in order to discourage and punish drunken behavior

-Loud party music galore

What exactly is missing?
At this precision you weigh things twice. Once with the reference on the left arm of the balance and the test object on the right and another time with objects swapped.

Not to go against the grain but I love Spotify, the Discover Weekly is killer for finding new music. I also have a large collection of vinyl at home for when I really want to enjoy an album.

Also because Tool won't release their albums online =(
I think you and the other poster may be talking passed each other.

He seems to be trying to emphasize the relative triviality of the technical problem from building the MVP absent leveraging "someone else's computers" perspective.

You're talking about the delta and impact created by the fact we've become so dependent on someone else's computer to point us in the right direction to create the visibility and discoverability we want.

The point I think both of you are dancing around, but not hauling out into the light, is these platforms enable the abstraction of the techie work, and allow creators to just publish. Creators are so dependent on not having to do the techie work, that unfortunately, they are left at the mercy of the techie+business platform provider, and as a result, are vulnerable to censorship based on that platform's visibility to the world at large.

Large integrated platforms are cool and all, but at some point, we need to sit down and look at the federatability of these types of communication platforms.

We can't rely on implicit Gatekeepers not being manipulated into acting as amplifiers/dampers as circumstances warrant from their side.

At least that's the vibe I'm getting.
> I would much rather be in a crash with a drunk driver where liability was clear than have my car drive underneath a tractor trailer in the middle of a clear day just because I hit some neural network edge case.

Preferring to die by human error instead of shitty software doesn't make logical sense to me and feels like your trying to justify something irrational. Autopilot either drives safer than me or doesn't. And I wouldn't let a drunk friend drive me either.

> but independent analysis shows there’s just not enough data to say

Do you link a trustworthy analysis? I can't remember reading one that wasn't from a highly polarized source.
Alternative theory: the EALD use said planets as incubation for their offspring. We are a natural progression in the growth of an individual EALD in the same way that cell division and growth of gut bacteria are a natural progression in the growth of a human. A more mature EALD uses all resources available on an Earth-sized planet in order to grow up into a fully mature EALD.
A quick glance at Wikipedia seems to indicate so, but I didn't go over every base unit.
Not at all. AMD does a hardware check for memory accesses in serial with the reading the data rather than in parrallel. This probably adds an FO4 or so of latency to the critical path of a read which could mean a lot of things from a design standpoint. Maybe you reduce your L1 cache size or associativity or such to make back that Fo4. Maybe you just say "All our stages are going to be 15 FO4s instead of 14" and you clock 5% slower but your pipeline gets shorter and you have more room for cleverness in other places. I'd be very surprised if the net performance impact was more than 1%.

By contrast having to deal with the issue in software or worse, by turning off SMT, is much more damaging and gets you the 10s of percents of performance impact that people are talking about.
Maybe you should ask for an e-mail address and let the readers decide if and when they want to get a link to write some feedback ;-)
According to the verge preview they have some sort of mechanic where you build on a "table" and then use AR just to place.
It's just as likely that dark matter is the byproduct or containment technology of EALID destroying intelligent life's planet, or capturing it in something analogous to how a spider wraps a fly stuck in its web.
I am saying something completely different. The presenter in your YouTube link makes it clear that Julia made the cut for evaluation but that ultimately Swift was the only language left standing. The slides make this less clear as they stop before the final knockout round.

I believe this[0] is the "study" the presenter is summarizing, which further makes it clear that Julia did not in fact "make the cut". Put another way, if we are going to argue that Google said Julia makes the cut, we could just as easily make the argument that Rust and C++ made the cut.

You “see a patch of grass” could read awfully dystopian. That opening paragraph might come back to haunt them. With climate change possibly accelerating unless global coordinated activity, I giggled at first to this opener that basically says cover that “patch” of “real-life” nature.

> Picture the scene: you’re walking through your neighbourhood and see a patch of grass. Grass is lovely and all, but you see this patch every day. It’s getting a little dull and is practically begging for a talented builder to brighten it up. So you take out your phone and craft a beautiful Minecraft build on a nearby picnic table. Then you place your colourful new Minecraft creation on the real-life grass.
And math equations, still a pain....
Yes, actually, they do. The Magnusson-Moss Warranty Act of 1975 applies to everything, not just cars, even though it was really aimed at cars. But it applies to anything consumers might buy, whether it's tractors or TVs.
I also use Spotify as a great music discovery tool. That's where it stops at though.
Indeed a typo that I didn't catch until after the edit window.
FWIW i am not a FOSS zealot. If anything some of the software i find enjoyable to use is not FOSS (but sadly a lot of it is older software, largely because of user hostile modern trends - see Electron, phone-home DRM, adware, etc - but also because newer versions or alternatives simply have worse UX and/or bloated to almost unusability) and really my comments come more from a "you are entitled to what you pay for" stance.
My kids are obsessed. Literally everything they say to me starts with "Daddy, on minecraft, ...." It's all they talk about, including with each other. They even act it out in playtime. Although as someone who has never played I basically understand nothing they are telling me.

It seems pretty creative tho, and they seem to be learning a lot from it, so not too bothered. That said they are limited to 1 hour per sat and sun.
Slowly and gradually. The music I love, I love. I don't like playing chase.

So sometimes they played a show/concert with an artist I already like. Sometimes it just comes up in the YouTube feed. Sometimes somebody points me to something and it takes.

Nobody has articulated my feelings about Foucault et al better than Chomsky:

> There are lots of things I don't understand -- say, the latest debates over whether neutrinos have mass or the way that Fermat's last theorem was (apparently) proven recently. But from 50 years in this game, I have learned two things: (1) I can ask friends who work in these areas to explain it to me at a level that I can understand, and they can do so, without particular difficulty; (2) if I'm interested, I can proceed to learn more so that I will come to understand it. Now Derrida, Lacan, Lyotard, Kristeva, etc. --- even Foucault, whom I knew and liked, and who was somewhat different from the rest --- write things that I also don't understand, but (1) and (2) don't hold: no one who says they do understand can explain it to me and I haven't a clue as to how to proceed to overcome my failures. That leaves one of two possibilities: (a) some new advance in intellectual life has been made, perhaps some sudden genetic mutation, which has created a form of "theory" that is beyond quantum theory, topology, etc., in depth and profundity; or (b) ... I won't spell it out.

Buying discounted receivables is one of the oldest businesses around. That it happens to be for a criminal ransomware organization is new.

The instinct to contact ransomers and say, "hey, I see you have some uncertainty in how much money you are going to collect. Do you want a guaranteed amount now, or a risk adjusted figure later? If now, I can offer you $x for a key I can use on as many customers as I can..."

Ethics aside, that's really impressive deal making.
Huh? This analogy makes no sense to me at all. Which is cleaner is only incidentally related to my point. Nuclear is safer than goal in terms of deaths caused by such a tremendous margin that no single nuclear catastrophe could possibly even make a dent.
