I used to work on antifungal drugs (though not against C Auris) and I don’t remember it being any sort of secret. It’s just not a sexy microbe.

Antifungal drugs tend to be very toxic for humans too, though luckily most healthy people’s immune systems are pretty good at rejecting them.

I'm well aware of that. I grew up in India. I'm just asking you to place this behavior in the context of the prosperity and levels of education in the places where it happens. America, for all its advantages in material and human development, did not develop an anti-littering culture until very recently.
Can confirm. "Zero day" means you've had zero days to patch. The term has been used this way since, IIRC, the late 1990s. See Phrack 53 for an example:

‘The Wizard and the Prophet,’ by Charles C. Mann (A Review, 2018)
I think everyone can learn to write an app by following a few YouTube videos. This is how we’ve got our project managers and lean-operators to write RPA projects in python after all.

On the flip side, I’ve never personally met anyone who went through 5 years of university and came out knowing nothing.

The thing with CS is that it’s not the programming itself that’s actually valuable. It’s being able to create efficient, safe and maintainable code. If you can’t tell me the bigO of your program, if you don’t know how to remove the top node of a binary search tree or if you think using NPM packages to do simple computation is a good idea, then I just can’t use you, because it’ll be way too expensive to teach you.

If you suck at our specific tooling, but have already proven you can obtain a university degree, then I know that I can re-school you relatively cheap by sending you on a few courses.

I’m sorry this is rubbing non-educated programmers wrong, but an education is actually valuable, and it will be increasingly so as the younger generations are all getting them.
Thanks, I had no idea of this.

Burgess battery company, in Fort Erie Ontario. They were done in by the union at the Ever-ready factory in Buffalo, across the river, who organized them and then went on strike to leap the wages to the Ever-ready level but the company simply waited three months on the strike and closed down as after that three months on strike the workers were deemed to have quit and ended up with no jobs as well as no severance.
They would get their old age security max of $586.xx as well as Canada Pension plan of 1,154.58 maximum (if they worked 40 years at the max pensionable wages - fee are half worker paid and half employee paid. If both husband and wife worked to the max they do very well with dual pension and dual CPP.
Everready purchased Burgess batterey name rights, clients etc at the auction and carried on making Burgess batteries for years - since consumer batteries all conform to rules on sizes, it is a simple sticker game to make them, and the technology is also the same as well as the volts etc.

> I think these products belong in a grocery or convenience store, not a dining establishment

I heard somewhere that the fake burger companies sold to restaurants first because the parameters for cooking it well are much narrower than a regular burger (for now). They didn't want to ruin their products' reputation because of mistakes people made cooking the burgers at home, whereas restaurants will probably do a better job.
Keep reading. It goes so far as to hold Card up as some master of this new data-oriented movement - the guy massages it better than the girl offering you a happy ending. And it goes on to highlight other orthodox turned radical anti-capitalists.

Anybody skilled enough can take a sample of data and play with it enough - fill in holes with other data - exclude some points - until they get the story they want. To some extent there needs to be a mechanism (beside "people are stupid") to tie things together. And this has been the general MO of left-wing economists. They lost ideas and theory so they moved to numbers. The numbers tend to not be predictive because they are so overly played with, so obviously everybody is just being irrational - the world is wrong not their theory because they proved it right with the data.

It is Vox after all - a self proclaimed socialist website that has given page space to the the Jacobins on how Democratic Socialism isn't social democracy - it is only a starting point for pure socialism.
The whole thing is missing the point. The F-35 is a hugely expensive prop for a Top Gun reboot, probably great for fighting a largely mythical 1980's air battle against MiG's but bugger all use in a modern war. For instance:

* Somebody "gets radicalised" and decides to fly a plane into a building (again).
* Right wing nutcases blow up a bridge in the middle of a gay pride march.
* The Chinese put a few million cellphones into the US with backdoors so their radios can be used to jam wireless transmissions.
* Or track people.
* Or listen to their conversations.
* The Iranians, having been shown how effective industrial espionage was against their nuclear program, get busy doing some of their own.

The next war is the Russians persuading the American electorate to vote for a muppet. Unthinkable quantities of damage, whole thing probably cost less than one wing of an F-35. The next war is ... the lights go off. Water stops coming out of taps. The banking system breaks. Gullible people get persuaded to do stupid things. A big piece of metal that can fly above the speed of sound ... for eighty seconds ... is not going to help at all (and hasn't been).

Something that's crossed my mind is John Gall's observation that complex systems operate in failure mode 100% of the time. I understand "failure mode" to mean that built-in guards have been bypassed in order to enable the system to do anything at all. Germane to this thread, the "guards" are IT approvals.

I suspect that if a business is complex enough to have IT policy, that policy is always being bypassed in some way, at any given time. Somebody is using unofficial software, or using official software in an unofficial way.

> Hand-wavy theory - predicated upon physical-world models of equillibrium which are themselves classical and incomplete - without validation is preferable to empirical models? Please.

My friend, you are strawmanning.

I said,

> What we do need is proper models that are then validated, which don't necessarily need 'big data.'

Which agrees with you. I said we need both and, not one or the other.

> If the model does not fit all of the big data, the error term is higher; regardless of whether the model was pulled out of a hat in front of a captive audience or deduced though inference from actual data fed through an unbiased analysis pipeline.

Big data without a model is still only valid for the scenario the data were collected in

> If the 'black-box predictive model' has lower error for all available data, the task is then to reverse the model! Not to argue for unvalidated theory.

Certainly, but we should simultaneously recognize that any model so conceived is still only valid in the situations the data were collected in, which makes the not necessarily useful for the future. You could turn such an equation into an economic philosophy, but you'd have to do a lot more, non metric, work.

Ask HN: Why does an SF Clipper online transaction take 5 days?
I've been in SF the past few days, and am impressed by a few things that are new (or more popular) since my last visit. For example, many companies using Envoy for electronic visitor registration, speeding the process and ensuring all visitors sign NDAs.

Yet some things are still surprisingly backward. I went online to add credit to my clipper card. The UX and visual design were what I would have expected >10 years ago, but the transaction seemed to work, and I got a confirmation email.

BUT when I got on a bus a few hours after topping up, my balance didn't reflect the amount I'd added. A fellow passenger told me online topups take 2-3 days. I didn't (couldn't) believe her, but when I looked at the confirmation email, it said:

"If you are picking up your value on a bus or a Muni light-rail vehicle, please allow up to 5 days."

I'm curious to hear from anyone who regularly uses Clipper online, or who have worked on the systems. Why does it take so long? Why do people put up with it? Why would you top up online with such a delay, instead of using cash at a BART station?
Ah because it identifies audio input. I see. Quite disappointing, tbh. I thought they refer to the movie.
Probably, but we have no idea what it is. (We might find out in 20 years, though - I'd expect a pocket force of stealth UCAVs)

The US's 'black' planes have been remarkably successful, though that might be due to the fact that we never see their development and testing phase.
> Actually performing such a trial, with an effective treatment agent, tends to produce strong results for a few patients, and null or actually harmful results in the rest. Nothing is wrong with the treatment, when applied to the patients who should get it, but the trial fails to produce a positive result.

Do you have any actual data to support this assertion, or is it just a weak sophism, same as used to support ineffective "integrative medicine" practices?

If there are active SAM sites in the area the A-10C isn’t even remotely operable. Nobody is flying Warthogs in defended airspace. In that case your options are another more capable plane or nothing.

And higher altitudes are strictly safer, even against SAMs. If you’re at virtually any altitude above terrain masking you’re in sight of them. Altitude gives you extra time to react plus requires the missile to burn more fuel reaching you in the first place, shortening its range and increasing the tools you have available to defeat it.
>suggest that it may be of value to augment normal five-fingered hands with an artificial supernumerary finger

That's missing the big picture in my opinion. This research indicates the human brain is capable, all on its own, of adapting to entirely new sensorymotor functions. Think of the implications. If some type of new functionality were grafted onto you, you'd be able to control it without having to "reassign" any of your current functions. You could move a "third hand" cursor around in three dimensional virtual space as if it were a virtual body part, not just an interface you have to consciously manipulate like a mouse or keyboard.

Managing Your Dotfiles with Stow
But you have to offset that advantage by the A-10's runway requirements. Strategically (and maybe tactically?), the A-10's inability to be launched from aircraft carriers is a major limitation. Plus, while the Warthog has (maybe?) excelled in our asymmetric wars, the US military sure hasn't. It's a great plane for wars we shouldn't be fighting.
You can switch it to any port you want. Problem is that it's super easy to spot on security monitoring tools. I deal with "SSH not on port 22" alerts at least once a month.

It's possible to get around this by tunneling SSH over other protocols: http://dag.wiee.rs/howto/ssh-http-tunneling/. Bear in mind if you do this in a corporate environment, security will throw the largest book they can find at you.
With regards to IPFS (don't have much experience with Dat), I have a hard time understanding how choosing Go to implement their protocol, as well as Javascript makes it doomed for obscurity. A lot of distributed/decentralized applications and platforms are being written in Go. This is the first time I've heard this argument.

Not to mention you can call into Go funcs over shared libs from C.

Rust is a great language definately, but not using it is a completely sane design choice. C has been a source of a number of security issues due to memory management, that type safe languages solve.

Not to mention, there are various parts of the IPFS/LibP2P stack that are being written in Rust by other teams.
This isn't an economics class. It's a public policy class. Here are the course topics:[1]

- Part II: Education

- Part III: Racial Disparities

- Part IV: Health

- Part V: Criminal Justice

- Part VI: Climate Change

- Part VII: Tax Policy

- Part VIII: Economic Development and Institutional Change

This really belongs in Harvard's "JFK School of Government", not economics.

Possible topics for a modern economics intro class:

- Instability and equilibrium, or why markets oscillate.

- From zero to one, the tendency to and effects of monopoly and near-monopoly.

- Externalities, their uses and discontents.

- Debt vs. equity vs. what tax policy rewards

- Scarce resources that don't map to money - attention and time.

- Finance as a system decoupled from productive activity

> If Taiwan views Beijing as a repressive regime then the independence movement would gain popularity.

Is this even a question anymore? It seems like a given that Taiwan views Beijing as repressive, and the political differences in Taiwan are over how to deal with that reality: fight it or don't rock the boat.

What I wonder is what happens when China realizes it has nothing to gain by feigning acceptance of one country with two systems.
You seem to be talking about macroeconomics, which is a very different animal than supply/demand dynamics.

Macroeconomics is a science all my itself, and by and in some ways a failed one. It may even be impossible as a (public) science, since the object of the study is intelligent, aware of the findings, and has incentive to change in response to it.

This have very little to do with basic the microeconomic of supply/demand dynamics. Which could better be named "Price Theory".
