Even if there's only one mention of it in the article, I'm glad they included it: alpha-gal syndrome. Not a ton of people seem to know about it and yet I continue to meet more and more people that are affected by it.

For those unaware, it causes a person to develop an allergy to red meat and there's currently no treatment for it other than to wait. Granted, it's not as serious as Lyme Disease, I hope it gets to be well known so there's increased chances of finding a cure for it.
I don't think 386 CPUs had any cache.
I have multiple multitools and none of them have a tool suitable for grabbing ticks. The pliers are the closest, and probably aren't precise enough.
Maybe they've changed, they used to not get commission so they didn't care.
One of my coworkers has experience in Salesforce and recently did an introductory presentation about it.

I just want to say that I'm very grateful that I don't have to have anything to do with it.
I'm curious how requirements are determined at these huge tech companies. Do the programmers have any weight as to which features are implemented, or are requirements typically handed down from someone else? I'm sure this varies from place to place but I'd like to hear your two cents.
I see, I guess I didn't even consider the performance might meaningfully fluctuate.
In this case, I feel like KitSplit's "minimum viable product" is too minimum. Of course renters are going to steal stuff. The only value you can really provide as a middleman in this transaction is "well if they do take your camera, we'll buy you a new one".

If the fraud rate is too high for that to be a viable business, so be it. You should close your business or do better vetting. Otherwise this is just Craigslist with a 22% commission, a deal nobody would take. (Do you ever see posts on Craigslist that say "use my $3500 camera for a day for $70"? No? That's because it's crazy and nobody would ever do that. A company has the power to have contracts and vetting; and yet KitSplit cheaped out and does nothing. It makes me mad and I just heard about them five minutes ago.)
Does anyone know what SIEM is? It's said multiple times in the article but never defined that I could see.

I get about 30-40K unique sessions per month, so a little over 10% are paying users. We gave all accounts that signed up prior to going paid free lifetime accounts, and many of them still use the site... so it's a weird mix.

There's definitely stuff I can do to make AWS cheaper. Starting with just remembering to pre-pay for my instances ahead of time. One of my least favorite things to do is to log into the AWS console, so I try to do it as little as possible.

The CPU intensive part is due to autosave. When a lot of people are writing concurrently (even on the order of hundreds), that was usually what would take down the site in the old days. The site is weird in the sense that there are 10x more writes than reads, and then doing all of the linguistic analysis, badge granting, stats generating cause spikes when they happen as well. I'm @buster on Twitter if you want to continue the discussion there.
Before being an SE, I had many shit jobs and getting the college degree unlocked many doors for me.

I went to a state uni, it was relatively cheap, I don't think I would make anything close to what I make now as I hate sales. However, I know smart people with art degrees, which are useless to them.

Every competent person I have met when studying computer science is doing very well, would they achieve the same success without a CS degree? Maybe, but that degree definitely helps getting jobs at non-tech companies.

I have no "regrats"
Do you think this is the process that Apple's manufacture uses?

Could they use an end mill the same size as the hole, instead of a smaller end mill that follows a circular path?

Could they have built a machine with many end mills, correctly spaced, to drill all holes in one shot?
Btw, I also rationally require opportunities to learn, live in a nice neighborhood, travel sometimes, buy a good musical instrument, maintain a car etc. You are oversimplifying things, but I get your point.
Professional equipment thieves love it!
No, but we shouldn't assume that solutions that work in small countries are going to work for large countries. In particular, I don't expect that the 5th percentile standard of living is going to be as high in large countries as it is in wealthy small countries. We should be looking to solve problems in our own ways instead of naively trying to imitate the way that small wealthy countries work.
I think that a government spokesperson should not be considered a reputable source when speaking on potential misdoings by the same government. Is there an independent source that can speak to the Plum Island claims?
The end result of your line of thinking is that the disabled (who are unable to contribute) should be left to die or be executed.
Commenters have objected that this is BitcoinSV rather than Bitcoin, so I put SV in the title above. I don't actually know what that means, so let me know if I got something wrong.
I love IB but their API sucks, you have to run TWS or the gateway with manual 2 factor login. Anyone managed to improve on that? I'd like to get account and market data from code running on the cloud.
When we go hiking, we won’t leave the house without a tick card or something similar, e.g tick squeezers. When we get back we scan everyone from head to toe for ticks. At least Lyme disease can be prevented quite successfully if the tick is removed within the first 24 hours.

I would argue that immutability is a separate service. You can change a web page all you want that someone has linked to. Immutability is provided by services like the Internet Archive. It should be decoupled. YouTube's immutability had been very troublesome to me. For example, we create video for a research paper demo. Then we want to enhance it, add some more content but now we have to create entirely new link. But the old link is popular in social media and therefore people keep watching old version. For each new revision, link is outdated. How many times you have to keep telling people to update their bookmarks?
My use case is to use the pi like a portable desktop. I would be doing:

- run debian with exwm

- some programming in various languages

- browse web (run wifi)

- occasionally play some non-resource heavy games

I would be happy if I could use the system powered by the battery for four hours at a time. I have a ups for the pi 3B, but it often reboots when I plug the sytem in while running. I definitely want to avoid a UPS that has a defect that results in a system shutdown when transitioning between battery and power from an outlet.

Thank you so much for your time writing this comprehensive answer. I think that options two or four are the correct ones for my use case.

Thank you also for the links. I will do some more research to avoid buying an unreliable UPS.

cheers!
I wish they would and I also wish the UN would monitor elections in the USA.
The CPUs didn't (except for some later variants), but mainboards could add it. Or was that only with the 486?
Sounds like a great new way for Russian to buy ads on the sly to interfere with our next elections.

Other than that, I can't think of a use case.
Many people not know what you're alluding to, so I'll clarify. The current owner of the Keen Dreams IP (Javier Chavez) is a weird internet racist who got himself permanently banned from selling games on Steam after a meltdown where he changed his name to something that can't be repeated in polite company and began having a meltdown about SJWs and Trump.

In addition to releasing Keen Dreams, he also did a reskin of Hovertank 3D (which I believe is open source) except the plot is replaced with weird racist revenge fantasies about killing refugees.

Then, after being forced off Steam, he seems to spend most of his time creating anonymous email addresses and harassing people.

A company called Night Dive Studios (the current licensee of System Shock) managed to get Keen Dreams back on Steam with reassurances that they had gotten it from Chavez and that he would receive no ongoing income from it, but the game was mysteriously subsequently pulled.

Here are some Twitter threads that speaks to the above. Warning: racial and homophobic slurs, open praise of Hitler, pages and pages of abuse, etc:

https://twitter.com/dosnostalgic/status/1100934501277016065 https://twitter.com/dosnostalgic/status/1140641745920770051 https://twitter.com/dosnostalgic/status/1140726699014971393

Keen Dreams is currently available on Nintendo Switch apparently with Chavez's blessing, but buying that is obviously supporting the above insanity.
> Like being able to invite them to parties, or events, and pay them for an actual true "cameo." It would obviously come with a price, but to me, that would be much more innovative.

This so much. I would never pay for a VIP session with a guitarist I like, but I would pay quite a bit for a couple of actual guitar lessons.
I agree.

Tragedy of the commons scenario.

Swan Lake of course.
Find a developer job at a trading firm and gradually move from being a developer to being quant developer and finally to a researcher position. Specifically, aim for systematic trading firms as the sort of work you'll be doing is not that far from what the actual researchers are doing. In discretionary trading businesses, chances are you'll be stuck with some boring back office stuff that is far removed from the actual money making. Furthermore, it's at systematic trading firms that a CS background could add the most value to begin with.

Ninja edit: the business is very much based on personal connections and trust. Unless you have a stellar CV, it's your personal network that will get you to places. People who have worked together and have come to trust each other will tend to run into each other. E.g. you work for a PM who then moves on to another place, chances are they'll ask you to join them.

Out of all the industries, trading is the one where you rely most on others not to sink your career through ineptitude or malice. Hence the extreme emphasis on trust. If you are a PM, it doesn't matter if it's one of your traders and not you directly who fucks up, ultimately you are solely responsible for the PNL. Hence PM's are extremely picky who they let in their circle, but then if you are in good graces, the world is your oyster.

If you are the researcher/trader, you want the PM to be good and support you, because they are the primary multiplier of your performance. The PM's job is to devise the overall strategy and get money for your team. The more money the PM can secure, the more you can play with.

This results in tight knit teams who tend to stick together through jobs. In case someone in your inner circle is starting a new venture, they'll by far prefer to fill in the positions among the most trusted connections before even thinking of looking outside.
A ball-end mill wouldn't be the best tool for this, they're meant more for 3d contouring. They've probably just used a normal endmill and interpolated each hole or used an appropriately sized drill. And at the volumes they're manufacturing, waterjet or laser-cutting (not as good for aluminum) are likely the method of choice.
SIEM basically aggregates and collates all security related events, logs, and alerts across all your network gear/servers, etc.

They haven't got erased, but more like subsumed? If you use dropout to train your model that is basically equivalent with using an ensemble of deep neural networks.
This is an extremely expensive, low volume product. I would not be surprised if manufacturing uses the same process as prototyping.

Land is taxed yearly. Stocks are taxed in cases where you profit from their sale. Dividends are also taxed in most cases as ordinary income.

I can see merit in taxing both transactions for land in stocks, but it's inaccurate to say that they aren't taxed.

You can also argue that buying land is way more necessary than a TV. Everyone needs to live on a piece of land, not everyone needs (or wants) a TV.
Most non-Lyme Literate Medical doctors prescribe Doxycyclin. If you are seeing a Lyme Literate Medical doctor they'll put you on a cocktail (often Clarithromycin, Doxy, Alinia (anti-parasitic), and a few others. This also depends if you have co-infections or not.

"The US has long ago abandoned free market healthcare."

Not true. Like literally every sector of a mixed economy, there is government interference. And sure, there is a lot more in the healthcare industry than most. But it does operate as a highly regulated market system wherein private enterprises compete and consumers make decisions.

And certainly it is not strictly "free market", but then again nothing is.

It uses "Bitcoin" to refer to the protocol, not the BTC network. People fought about the name "Bitcoin" for ages and everybody has their own opinion about this topic. The network that you refer to as Bitcoin has forked several times as well and least resembles the original protocol and idea when compared to BCH or BSV. OTOH the market values it the highest.

> Someone created a block chain and network for mass data storage.

I don't like the phrase of storing data on the chain. The blockchain is not a storage medium but a network that incentivised connectivity and data propagation.
Lyme disease is awful, and ticks are truly evil creatures. The intellectual disabilities it causes are especially scary to me as a knowledge worker. It's about time we start treating this as the public health crisis that it is and targeting concerted efforts towards eradicating ticks.

Supply chain integrity has always been a problem in China.

I'm surprised it has taken this long to actually have an issue that reaches the public relations level.
I've opened a joint account with Monzo and with 1st direct. Guess which one took an hour on the phone and which one took 10 seconds in an app.

I've switched all my banking to them. So much better than high street banks and I haven't had to talk to a single person.
That's sort of how auto parts work. A lot of times they won't have something you order in the store, but they'll get it in their next daily delivery.
Does this really work? I would assume Google would detect this repeated pattern pretty easily.
Unfortunately there’s no way to know that one currently has Lyme disease unless the symptoms are close in time to a tick bite.

Treatment is with antibiotics, usually doctors will use a combination of two types of antibiotics (eg doxycycline and cefdinir) for which there is some research suggesting better results. In rare cases IV antibiotics may be required, especially if evidence of cardiac or neurological involvement. Duration of treatment is for 1 to 4 months. There’s next to no evidence you should go longer than that.

After treatment patients may also need immune modulation treatment due to autoimmune reaction to the infection. High dose ivig in serious cases. Some patients also find benefit using low dose naltrexone for this though it can have a very nasty side effect of causing depression so watch yourself using it.

Almost everything else is a scam. And unfortunately with Lyme, while the patients are clearly very sick, there are an aweful lot of quacks ready to part them with their cash so be weary.

It’s important to know there are other illnesses that people need to rule out too, check for dysautonomia, POTS, ME/CFS, MS, and aaSFPN for example.
It's unclear what 'advanced' means in that bullet; most of the article seems to refer to undergraduate majors, or perhaps all post-secondary (after high-school) education.

The confusing writing continues when the article gets to numbers for different areas-of-study, as it alternates between reporting percentages for "have regrets" and "no regrets". (The last 7 paragraphs would be clearer as a table taking 1/3 the space.)
they're moving forward on some of these fronts:

develop locally: they're bringing at least front end development here.

source control: easily done if you are using the DX project format.

apex: still shitty

aura: deprecated and replaced with LWC.
Given the current state of AGW and Climate Change, taxing babies beyond replacement rate (2.1) is not a bad idea.

I mean it's political suicide, but I don't see anything morally wrong with it.

After all, we already subsidize babies with our taxing scheme. So you wouldn't even need to tax babies. You would just cut off the subsidy after 2 kids.
Ah yes you are totally right. My bad!
Drive.ai, a self-driving car startup once worth $200M, is closing
Fair, my reasoning for saying "now": the ability to alter videos is a relatively new feature (last few months) that YouTube did not make a clear announcement about on launch day.

It is a major departure from immutable videos, and deserved more of a company PR effort to inform users of the change.
It's bizarre to me that people have memories of Toys R Us related to video games as I've never thought of it as a place for such... As a kid all my game-browsing memories were in one of the big stores with an Electronics department, or most commonly the various rental stores and chains (popularly but not exclusively Blockbuster) or rental sections of grocery stores where I could not just look at them but also sometimes get to rent one. Blockbuster even had a reasonably priced deal at one point when I was older that I convinced my mom to get me where you could rent "unlimited" (limited to 2 or 3 at a time) games for a few months, that summer was great for my gaming habit.

The only thing Toys R Us has ever been to my mind is "well the electronics department and toy department of [current store] doesn't have [thing], maybe Toys R Us does?" And that could be solved with a phone call, or now, the internet. Product discovery was from ads in parents' newspapers (I suppose some of them may have been Toys R Us ads and it's possible some of my Extreme Dinosaurs figures originated there before being wrapped by Santa) and rarely from wandering the aforementioned department aisles.
I am someone who loves music in all its forms (especially live music) but I have struggled to ever learn to play music. I don't have much natural rhythm, I have a bad ear, and I wasn't the best student when I took guitar lessons.

Recently I have gotten into synthesizers and electronic instruments in general and WOW. Suddenly music clicks for me. I think as an engineer there is something very appealing about deconstructing sounds. And thinking "this is a sine wave plus {x}" is easier on my mind than "this is an EMajor7 chord and here is the staff notation".

This is a world where you can spend a lot of money, but there's also really good cheap gear out there if you look for it. And you can learn something unique from almost any piece of gear.

While you can do it all in the computer these days (or almost all) I find that I need physical knobs and controls to unlock my creativity and make this something I look forward to after a long day of being on the computer coding.

A cheap answer would be for Youtube to present a last edited date for any video in an easy to check place.

Since current copyright makes it difficult to make a copy of the video and link to the copy, we've fallen into the bad habit of linking to things and hoping they don't change. Copyright interpretation isn't going to change anytime soon, and keeping immutable copies on Youtube might be too expensive. I say might, because, in the grand scheme of things, edited videos might be few.

A last changed date would be enough for most purposes.

I never implied a consumer should be expected to keep track. Not having perfect knowledge of every transaction in the marketplace is a risk for all buyers and sellers. Holding a seller liable for another seller's price is ludicrous though. That's the buyer's job to do, by not giving business to a seller who isn't in line with the market (other sellers). No reason to get lawyers and courts and regulatory bodies involved.
I use the "palm on the side" feature a lot. It reduces the music volume and turns up the ambient noise. If I'm not mistaken, it also increases the volume of voices so you can hear conversations well.
Given that it's impossible to prove a negative, the onus is on conspiracy theorists to provide evidence that Lyme research was performed there.
I agree. It looks like they make full use of assets they would have access to for Bing maps. A lot of the progress in e.g. x-plane in recent year has been the use of map data, satellite images, and other geospatial data to generate highly detailed scenery. I have close to half a terabyte worth of auto generated scenery with high resolution satellite imagery, 3d meshes, and open streetmaps based positioning of roads, buildings, trees, etc. For a small company like x-plane it never was feasible to curate detailed scenery world wide and even MS back in 2006 only had auto gen scenery in most parts of the world. X-plane v10 was the first version to include open street maps based scenery and they vastly improved this with v11.

Nowadays, Microsoft of course has access to lots of data; their scientists have developed lots of cool algorithms to synthesize detailed 3d models from photos and other sources, they have access to essentially unlimited hardware infrastructure to process this, they have lots of experience building 3d graphics libraries such as directx and have lots of experience working with hardware vendors to deliver VR. Speaking of which, flight simulation and AR could be an awesome use case for e.g. Hololens.

Putting this all together, they should be able to produce some really detailed scenery and a modern rendering engine to go with that. The only question is why they ever walked away from this. It's such a great show case for a lot of stuff they have.
I’m pretty sure “No such thing as a fish” mentioned that working on a treadmill doesn’t do you any good.I think they said the research showed that only one thing was improved (energy levels I believe) but they users were failing at everything else like focus and memory.
Malicious management, then.
