I live in Sweden and there will be debates about things like this as well because often these treatments are about improving lives compared to alternative treatments.

So for a rare disease there might exist a current treatment that results in them being bedridden and unable to feed themselves without an assistant. But with this new treatment the patient will be able to move around themselves in a wheel chair and feed themselves with some minor aid from an assistant.

How much more expensive can such a treatment be for it to be worth it? If you are the person involved the difference in life would be immense and worth any money but for someone on the outside those millions might be better spent on other care.
i think the article says it s the former. engineering a virus is not that expensive

Without github's "fork" branches we would most likely still see repositories initialized from plain source dumps popping up all over the place, just like in the days of nondistributed VCS.

There is no technical reason to do that, but that is insufficient in presence of social reasons: Someone wants to exploratory tinker around, maybe scratch some personal itch. No problem, check out, go wild in the working copy. Pretty soon they want it backed up in the cloud, maybe transfer it to another machine. VCS to the rescue. But do you want to create a branch on the official repository? Hell no, definitely not ready for that. git veterans will casually add another remote (and even that won't be as good as a branch/"github fork"), but a lot of people would choose the devil they know, rm .git and reinitialize. Everybody loses. The forker loses history, easy merges from upstream and almost all chances of getting merged back into upstream. The project loses a potential committer and general overview of what is going on at the fringes. Github wastes traffic and storage and loses the moat that socially linking up forker and project would have been.

Github "fork" strikes the perfect balance between proximity and distance: all the benefits of a branch, all the freedom of working in your own personal account. With this github have solved the problem of source dump repos so hard that we easily forget that it ever existed.

I don't think there will be, we're well into "breach fatigue" territory now, and here there's not even currently any evidence of malicious use.

Unless/until this breach results in a large financial hit to the company (possibly via a class action suit) I doubt it'll have any impact and I'm not even sure a class action suit could show damages without evidence of misuse.

With the exception that eating high GI carbs/sugar before doing a high intensity activity is not problematic, because it will be consumed directly by the muscles as "fuel" and might even improve performance. But yes otherwise (ie the majority of the time) I agree.
Break it down into milestones. What's the minimum piece you could complete that would be usable by someone (even just a beta user to gather feedback)? What's the next incremental piece that would be useful after that?

You can measure milestones completed, and you can also apply some type of scoring to the feedback you collect from your beta users. If your beta user feedback is "This is terrible, it doesn't do the key thing we need to do for our jobs!", that's actually a great outcome, because you can course-correct early, rather than having to revisit 1+ years of eng work to address the feedback.

> My only goals are to come into work, do what is expected of me, get paid, not get fired, and go home.

OKRs should just be the process of you writing down "what is expected of me" in a somewhat structured and measurable way. Team OKRs of "Hit milestones #1, #2, and #3 in development roadmap of system X" are fine, and are pretty common for greenfield projects. The main key is to have a "definition of done" for each milestone - does the milestone include documentation? Monitoring? Who decides that work is complete?

My wife and I do this, and while we're both savers by nature, I'm more of a saver, so I end up piling up the fun money while she tends to spend hers (I think. Mostly. I don't actually know how much she has in her personal account because I don't care)

There's no resentment because we already agreed that fun money isn't part of savings or long-term planning. And the fun money is a small enough part of our overall budget that it doesn't impact important goals.

From a "resentment" point of view, it's much better for me to have pre-agreed on $x a month that's going to be spent frivolously than it is to have a conversation about each frivolous purchase as it comes.

And I do still spend my fun money, I just spend it in larger chunks. She's more likely to spend regularly on things like lunch and events with friends, I'm more likely to save up for a while then buy a new power tool, or rent a cabin for a weekend ski trip.
That doesn't make it any safer for them to fool their body into thinking they're comfortable when they're actually overheating.
At 'retail' spot prices, Aluminum is around $1,885.29 a metric ton.

There are about 0.5714 ounces of aluminum in a typical can of beer.

That is, there is around $0.03 of Aluminum in each can. (Actually, it is a lot less as, obviously, canning companies buy Aluminum in bulk.)

Average can of beer is $1.15.

Thus, Aluminum makes up -- at most -- 2% of the price.

Assuming the "10% tariff" is completely passed on to the consumer, the increase in price would be -- wait for it -- less than a penny.

In short, the article is complete BS.

Can you go into more detail? I understand k8s might be a fairly reasonable way to start and supervise a large number of services, and I've seen it used to execute one-shot batch jobs.

But I can't quite join the dots to see how you could have a distributed job processing system with just k8s.

Would you need to use some other system (perhaps also running in k8s) to track the queue of tasks and store task status & task results? Or can you get k8s itself to act as the task queue?
Mostly React.js and Node.js, and I use NPM to install dependencies while I'm at the internet, and they still work when I go offline since they're downloaded.

In recently started using Robinhood as an alternative to Ally (formerly TradeKing). Ally provided very little extra value to me in exchange for their transaction fees. And as a buy-and-hold investor, I don't really need much more than limit orders anyway.

What I do still need are better research tools, but my impression is that none of the consumer trading platforms provide anything very impressive on that front.
Different from the parent but also, how is the required skills for a chess master at 10 different for a chess master at say, 30? I feel like for the more experienced, it shifts more towards memory-based pattern recognition than logic-based pattern recognition as you are recreating historical game states/strategies. I also know nothing of chess at any real level, so I could be dead wrong.

"in someone's debt" is not the same as "in debt".

"In debt" is a loaded term which actually refers to a deficit situation, rather than the mere existence of loans. If we say, "OMG, X% of Americans are in debt", the reasonable interpretation is that are under financial strain due to actually running a deficit, not that some of them owe their friend ten bucks for yesterday's lunch because they forgot their wallet at the office.

False: > Changes is solar activity (sun spot cycles) and underwater volcanic activity aren't really incorporated into the climate scientists' models

True: The contributions from both solar activity and volcanoes are estimated, and the models do calculate and compare these inputs too. Everybody can see it here:

https://www.bloomberg.com/graphics/2015-whats-warming-the-wo...

Conclusion: It's the CO2. And CO2 is contributing with more than 100%. It's true, the other activities add a little of cooling, so without the other contributions, just CO2 would make everything even warmer.

And there are also CVS files on that page:

I think the late J.V. Noble's "A Beginner's Guide to Forth" does a good job introducing the language and touching on some metaprogramming features.

Converged Indexing: The Secret Sauce Behind Rockset's Fast Queries

Unfortunately I found all of the story-like exposition infuriating: they never even say what the new conjectured lower bound is.
Well in mathematics there is a somewhat similar phenomenon concerning the growth of finitely generated groups. If you have a finitely generated group, pick a generating set as an alphabet and a natural n, then ask how many elements of the group you can build by using only words of length at most n. This is the growth function, whose growth does not change if you pick another generating set.

See [1] the Tits alternative which implies that if your group is linear (huh) then the growth function is either polynomial or exponential. Then there is a result by Gromov [2] which says that if the growth is polynomial then the group is virtually nilpotent. There was a long standing question if there exist finitely generated groups with an intermediate growth and the first example was found [3].

So it's not interesting until it becomes interesting due to a newly discovered fact.

VitrinaBox Virtual Walkthrough at IKEA Stores
VitrinaBox is a SaaS B2B (currently running beta) platform that "transforms" your physical business to digital while creates an instant virtual walkthrough. Promote your retail, hospitality, tourism & real-estate business and make your customers experience as it was actual there! Add call-to-action price tags. Embed it, share it on social media accounts.

VitrinaBox solution have already launched at IKEA GR, CY and BG stores. It is very interesting how retail business "upgrade" their customer experience by using virtual walkthrough in order to engage with their physical and digital store. Traffic works both ways either digital on the retailers eshop or on their physical store location solving the customers awareness.

Upvote our project and give us a feedback at https://www.producthunt.com/posts/vitrinabox . For live demo please send us contact us.

I never said anything about people making laws about anything. And they do get laughed at, but then they claim that they're somehow being censored by all the negative responses they get. And none of it makes a difference. For a lot of people, universal condemnation on Facebook or Reddit or whatever is just further proof that they're on to something.

All I'm saying is that there's disinformation, and then there's harmful disinformation, and on top of that there's a recent trend amongst certain podcast listeners in a certain demographic to insist that allowing people to spread harmful disinformation as far and wide as they want to will magically reveal how fake and harmful it is to everyone. I don't know what the answers are, I just know the binary answers are wrong:

(0) The government should pass laws prohibiting free speech about stuff the government has determined is "wrong".

vs.

(1) If only everybody could just say whatever they want anywhere and anytime they want without repercussions, social pressures from Internet forums will make them realize how wrong they are! Because if there's one thing we've learned about Internet forums over the past 30 years, it's that they bring everyone together and magically help filter out truth from falsehood? Or something.

I don't have any answers, I just know that neither extreme is helpful, and I'm extremely not sympathetic to the likes of anti-vaxxers and conspiracy theorists.
> A truly intelligent species would be doing both.

When you have limited resources, you deal with a problem that's going to affect half the population of the planet in the next 20 years, as opposed to dealing with a much harder problem that might affect the entire population of the planet in a once-per-fifty-million-years lottery.

We are currently putting all of our eggs in one basket, because climate change will kill modern civilization much faster then we can move the entirety of modern civilization into a <even less hospitable off-planet environment>.

I'm still not completely convinced that a zero commission brokerage can be run profitably, although mad props to the team for executing.

People often focus on the HFT payments for order flow, but another important leg of the stool (along with stock lending, and the premium tier/margin lending) is the interest rate differential.

If rates were going to 5%, that'd be one thing, but with rates at 2-2.5 and a couple of cuts being priced in, that's going to decrease profits there.

Also it's kind of hard to launch a 3% cash management account when the ten year is yielding 2.3%.

"In debt to X" is not "in debt"; it's not how language works.

"In debt" is a loaded phrase which means that the interests against you exceed your assets. It's a common term, for which the more formal word is "deficit".

That's the interesting thing if you want a story on lots of people being in some kind of financial strain.

A temporary loan purely for transactional or cash flow convenience does not represent any sort of financial strain.

The thing is though -- at the very least they could be honest and clear about this just being the state of affairs, not being something more fundamental (if it isn't believed to be). I (and I'm sure you) see over and over again so many people (probably including myself at some point) who end up being left with the impression that graph isomorphism and factorization are NP-hard, because (a) they hear those problems are hard, and (b) they're told the polynomials are the easy problems, and (c) the only non-polynomial algorithms they've ever seen are exponential-time.
