It is enormously difficult to promote securities legally. Disclosing a conflict of interest is the tip of the iceberg.
I've cycled for decades and never had such an incident of aggression from drivers. Maybe it depends on some other factors in addition to the drivers.
Switchgear testing, for HighVoltage (~110KV++) or MediumVoltage (~10KV to 110) you usually will test only the secondary side, for LowVoltage (~400V -10KV)you can test the Breaker with a primary source, these Breakers range from 100A to 5000A.
> So companies moved jobs away from the US to the detriment of American workers?

No, the US experienced strong economic growth (stronger than it would have without NAFTA) and likewise strong job growth (maybe stronger than it would have been without NAFTA, that's less clear), but less job (or at least wage) growth than would have been expected with similar economic growth without NAFTA. Insofar as there was a “sucking sound”, it wasn't of jobs or wealth being sucked to Mexico from the US, it was of relative economic position being pulled to capital from labor in both the US and Mexico (also Canada, FWIW.)

> The US would have been much better off with Perot as president.

Not, from any evidence, based on first-order policy impacts from the Administration. Perhaps based on missing the impacts on the partisan alignment from the pinnacle of neoliberal consensus and the subsequent rightward surge of the Republican Party as it sought to distinguish itself from the Clintonian neoliberalism in the Democratic Party that was virtually identical (but for comparatively small differences on some culture war issues, but even there Clinton was mostly a rightward divergence for the Democrats) to the pre-Clinton Republican position, sure. Maybe bases on the partisan realignment that would have resulted from the Perot faction displacing one of the major parties, sure.

Certainly based on Perot not having strong-but-failed bids in 1992 and then against with his Reform Party in 1996 which, by qualifying for matching funds, brought a number of opportunists to seek the 2000 Reform Party nomination, including David Duke and Donald Trump, the latter of which cited the risk of association with the former as a reason for dropping out, but courted the same White Nationalist constituency when he ran again, this time for a major party nomination, after a decade and a half of retooling his political image.

> Both Bush and Clinton supported NAFTA

On trade policy, Bush, Clinton, and Perot all favored the capitalist class.

Bush did so fairly nakedly, and chose policies well-supported by modern economics given that goal.

Perot also did so fairly nakedly, but work mercantilist policies th t both theory and evidence had shown were suboptimal for centuries.

Clinton was like Bush, but with some at least rhetorical recognition that supporting the capitalist class in ways which produced aggregate growth could be counterproductive for the larger working class and that at least modest active interventions were necessary to assure that aggregate growth resulted in general benefit.

If one agreed with his ideological focus, Bush was the least wrong on policy. Clinton was, at least rhetorically, the least wrong on what was necessary for durable broad progress, though in practical first-order policy terms probably not different enough from Bush to make much difference in outcomes, as his mitigation measures were far too modest. Perot was the most wrong.
Yes. DNA probably "evolved" from RNA. Keep im mind that the time scale is huge and that at the time, the earth was really hot and pressurized, so we can only have speculations.

A posituve thing is that in Miller experiment, he found out that those conditions create aminate acids. That also indicate that panspermia theory is unlikely (not impossible, but not Occam's razor choice at least).
When life forms of opposite chiralities exist in the same place, they compete against each other s by turning precursor hydrocarbons into forms that their mirror can't use. There is also the fact that while polymerization of alternating left and right handed nucleotides is relatively rare, it happens in molecules like siderophores.

Btw. Mirror chiralities are not exactly symmetric. There are tiny asymmetries between chirality due to weak interactions and electron interactions. Weak interactions might affect long hydrocarbon chains. Electrons from beta decay interact with molecules of different centrality with slightly different speeds (difference is something like 0.01%).
On the contrary. Life diverges to occupy niches. You will find multiple examples of less efficient processes and body plans living in niches not far from more efficient ones. You can still find all 3 domains of life on earth (Archaea, Eukarya, Bacteria). You can find less efficient photosynthetic pathways dominating their environment (see c4 rice project).
This is how the rich and poor are segregated in Germany. The system is to take too much from you, and let you reclaim that, theoretically once you've proven that you had tax-deductible expenses.

But it's enough to just "talk" to the "Finanzamt" to already get a baseline €1000 tax-deductible expense, without even needing to show them anything. Which makes me wonder, why not just deduct this from all income taxes, if you're willing to grant it to everyone, without any proof.

Sorry for sounding cynical now, but "dumb" and "busy" people are naturally disadvantaged from this system. That's not exactly... helping anyone. Except those who profit from the motto "A sucker born every minute!". But even they'd have more advantages, if their "suckers" had more cash at their disposal...

That's dark energy. Dark matter would slow down the expansions of the universe, and they came up with that to explain the rotation curves of galaxies: they're flat- all the stars in e.g. the Milky way go around the center in the same amount of time- but that shouldn't be the case going by just the matter we can see. Ergo, dark matter.

Whilst CSP wouldn't have stopped the modified script from loading it would have stopped the AJAX call to the attacker-controlled domain and thus would have been rendered impotent. Whilst it is very worrying that a bad actor was able to get their malicious script served up by a BA server, even if it was only acting as a proxy for a CDN, I suspect that the reality is (or at least should be) that this is much easier than changing the headers sent by that server (and hence the CSP) and that access to one does not imply access to the other
Tether has not worked for years, they say on their website they're not redeemable for dollars ever. Yes, I suppose by that metric chuck-e-cheese tokens work too, but you'd have the same luck trying to get your cash back out of either. It's "worked" on a hope and a prayer because crypto-to-crypto exchanges who can't achieve AML/KYC compliance rely on it. How else are the narcos and the sanctioned supposed to launder their proceeds? When this whole thing goes tits up how long do you think it'll take before the founders go "missing" like Gerald Cotten?

Their CEO literally tried to start a ponzi scheme right before he kicked off Tether haha (https://steemit.com/bitcoin/@binyamin/bitfinex-s-founder-see...) and you trust these people that they're just plain sitting on BILLIONS of dollars?

You know what they say, first you go broke slowly, then all at once.
What public transport used roads (not streets) in the early twentieth century of the US, when much if them were built? According to [1], by 1929 the private car was doing 175 billion passenger miles, while the bus was doing just 7. As they write, "Although intercity bus travel climbed from nothing to over seven billion passenger miles in 1929, it was always the choice of a relatively small number of people."

And of course, trains don't use roads. What other public transport is there?

Software is generally published online. Docker image repositories are generally online. The very act of building a Docker image pulling in dependencies is generally done online.

It was a deep hack into the entirety of the Docker build chain. This way it was probably possible to publish experimental work-in-progress build features to the world at a faster pace than the official Docker release cycle.

And as pointed out above, the online-only requirement has been lifted already.

The situation is perfectly understandable, and to be commended that people offered to do this work for the betterment of all.
The low contrast on that web page is terrible.
This has been here before right? But as I recall the last one this is a much bigger more involved demo. (Still) Looks great!

Idea: hook into terraform somehow, so a certain amount (boxes and nesting) can be automated; of course user's still going to need to add the relationships between them / annotations like 'PUT login' and whatever.

What are you talking about? Birthrates in developed countries are below replacement rates. If anything, in developed countries, more people should be having more kids.

If you want to decrease the number of consumers, here's what you do: Go to every developing country in the world and speed up its movement aping the western development arc so that it gets more money, suburbia, feminism, etc. Until everyone's miserable, alone, and nobody's having kids, like in Europe, Korea, or Japan.
Bold claim, since psycopg2 is used overwhelmingly more than any other library. Though asyncpg (or something like it) is likely the future, it’s a long way to go before calling psycopg obsolete.
Well, a one-man community usually makes no money and nobody wants to take it over. But a business making 220k/yr? I bet he (or his relatives in the bus scenario) would find lots of people willing to maintain Pinboard for 220k/yr.
> I've heard the opinion that most antibiotic resistance genes don't seem to originate in agricultural use.

Maybe true but I don't see the post you're replying to saying that. If you are saying that, a reference to some research showing that would be welcome.

> but it's way more complicated

surely true, but it doesn't mean antibiotic overuse isn't a damn good starting point for resistance to develop.

To further clarify, running an internal DNS server doesn't require a MitM, as the DNS server address for a network is generally supplied as part of DHCP. (There is one reason you might want to do a MitM, but I really don't recommend it. Namely, some people change their settings to ignore the DHCP-supplied DNS server and hardcode an address, e.g. 8.8.8.8, which they would fail to reach if the network isn't connected to the Internet. In theory you could work around the issue by redirecting such traffic to your own DNS server.)

As for longest certs, the CA/Browser Forum Baseline Requirements (which all CAs have to follow) specify a maximum validity period of 825 days, or a little over 2 years. You should be able to find CAs offering certs with that period. (Why such a specific number? I have no idea.)

I'm puzzled: the Lausanne-Paris arrives in _Gare de Lyon_, which is also the station where you take the train to Lyon. Then on a Lausanne-Lyon via Paris you wouldn't even need to change stations.

I have and idea of what could have happened though: maybe you took a cheaper train which doesn't arrives or leaves in Paris itself, but in a train station in suburbs (Marne la vallée, Massy Palaiseau and Roissy Charles de Gaulle).
What I was pointing out that hitting save and getting a result on the live server was achievable in the 90s, there is nothing new about it.

The reason we stopped doing that is because we wanted version control, we wanted to work in teams and we wanted unit and integration tests, which I doubt that you could run within 50ms.

> the feature flags, function versioning

I can easily replicate that with at least early 2000s PHP(would probably work with 90s PHP as well).

We do have DB migrations in all web frameworks that are worth using.
I walked inside these buses [0, 1] a few days after the accident, as part of a 'dont speed or drive tired' lesson from a relative police officer who attended the scene of the crash (he was never the same after).

Based on nothing but faith and an irreducible cynicism, my money says we end up going full circle, from "Earth is alone in the universe in regards to life" to "Life is a fungus, found anywhere the most basic of conditions are met" (at least over periods of millions of years at stellar scales)

People forget that this discussion is not necessarily related to life. When various European explorers went out, in many cases they didn't know what to expect. When they met strange peoples, most of them refused to believe these were actually human.

It takes a good long while for humans to recognize other lifeforms like us. We naturally think that we're unique, that wherever we call home is special and the center of things. Combine that with galactic distances and it might be a good while before we realize that the universe is actually full of aliens that look just like humans only with bumpy heads (Obligatory Star Trek joke)

Depends what the possible futures you're envisioning are. If some crazy hive-mind/brain-upload/matrioshka brain/turn the universe into computronium future happens, what you do now could influence part of the course of that.

I don't get the 'either we destroy ourselves, or the sun explodes'. If we don't destroy ourselves now, there's no way humans just stick around in the solar system till the sun explodes- at one point, some civilisation will invent brain uploading or general AI or something, and then they'll go and eat the Galaxy. It's either that or total extinction. I can't envision a very likely future where humans survive for Billions of years as-is.

Oh hell no! AFAIK, though I'm no expert, resistance to antibiotic x may give partial resistance to antibiotic y.

Or worse "Resistance to triclosan [not an antibiotic] could lead to resistance to other biocides or antibiotics." https://ec.europa.eu/health/scientific_committees/opinions_l...

Indeed I think this may have been confirmed now.

Heat and/or simple chemicals have to be a better option.

Ok, do you know how tmsu stores it's metadata? I found references to sqlite3 in the source.

ROOT actually uses the filesystem AS database, it has no separate index files except the "link" ones and those only store a binary list of long id's to other files.

ROOT has some features that are missing from tmsu though; like distributed real-time replication over async. HTTP (scales across continents). HTTP API with JSON support. User management and security. All of that within ~4000 lines of code.

I built it to have a MMO database that doesn't need manual moving of data for region switching and backup while avoiding the sync. bottleneck of all other databases.

Here are two sites that use it: http://talk.binarytask.com and http://fuse.rupy.se
> Most precursor molecules (e.g. CH4, NH2, etc) aren't chiral, so differently-chiral'd proto-life would still compete for the basic building blocks.

Yes, but horses and cows also compete for the same building blocks. And yet, we have horses and cows.

Your argument could be right if there wasn't an abundance of these building blocks.
It is interesting, but following Popper's epistemology rules, this hypothesis is not scientific. So saying it is a not-widely-accepted theory is right, but with reasons: this is not a theory.

Not that just because a hypothesis is not scientific, it doesn't mean that people can not research or fine-tune it until it become a scientific theory, but in this state, spending public research credit on it is not a very good choice (especially in the current state of funding for biology).

(it can be read wrong, my command of english is not great: i'm just adding thing to your comment, this is not a critisism of you or what you said)
Yes but it can be a useful business approximation depending of your target.
Well the answer of 50% is not just mathematically correct, it's simply correct, because the question said we must assume that the coin is fair.

If this was a real life situation, we would assume a reasonable prior for the probability of heads, perhaps with a spike around 0.5 and a small value everywhere else. The posterior would be centered near 1.
That's a moot point.
