Spoiler territory for Evan Currie's Hayden War Cycle Series ahead - which would deserve some spotlight and an editor for catching all the spelling mistakes both...

Anyways.

This is touched upon by a favorite sci-fi story of mine, where humans come in possession of such technology and make huge leaps in capabilities in short timeframes. Those leaps are unexplainable to most alien species they are in contact with.

Especially later on in the books a huge part of the story is told from alien POVs. The author has some interesting ideas about how other species may find us impressive, and in what respects they may consider us primitive.

The books are mostly about on-planet fighting and some ship-to-ship battles though. In fact there's little politics and communication at all until the cold-war arc. So don't expect the books to dive deeply into it at all.

But I really recommend the books just for how many interesting ideas Evan Currie managed to compress into a fast-paced action story. They left me with a lot of stuff to mull over long after putting the books down.
The simulations can give you small steps, such as suggesting chemical alterations to your molecule that might have higher binding energy to a docking site that you're targeting, but that assumes that the docking site is stable, that there isn't nonspecific binding, and a whole host of other things, so the first thing you do with those possible changes is run them in a biological system, not a computer.

No one who knows what they're talking about would take the idea that you could do drug discovery entirely in a computer seriously at this point in time.
Ask HN: Does Ping.pe Accept Payments?
I love ping.pe, and use it heavily at times. So heavily, at times, that I ought to be paying. I do have accounts with asm.ca.com and maplatency.com, and use their APIs. But for ping.pe, I just use Chrome headless, and sleep a bit between queries.

However, I find nothing about payments on the site. Or even about who runs it. And everything in whois is anonymized.
Ok, let me be facetious. Take the baker situation and push it to full overdrive.

Let's say the baker was a victim of sexual abuse and the client was asking to bake a cake rape-themed. (Not in support, you can suppose it was a replica for a documentary let's say). The baker refuses, the client sues, who is the first intolerant?

Another case, a client enter the shop of a muslim baker and asks for a depiction of Allah on a cake. Who is the first intolerant?

Maybe you have answer for all such situations, but how confident are you that a majority agrees in all cases?
Sites that display content based on upvotes are inherently chaotic, you can get published or denied for no reason at all. They are just biased into being useful, but there are no guarantees.

A set of small communities, like on Redit, have a much more predictable behavior. If you have content that interests one of them, it is very likely that it will get picked.
Exactly. These butts are highly problematic. They promote an unhealthy and unattainable butt image. We need more butt diversity, more real butts - thicc butts, old butts, slagging butts.
Allowing people to murder human beings is intolerant. Isn't this what this thread is all about?

And if you can´t see why the above applies, maybe you ought not to use the word "straightforward" anymore because you are clearly not qualified to do so.
General understanding of monopolies is quite arbitrary because the general public is ignorant, perhaps by design.

GTA would fall into the league. Just a different team.

Of course no sane person takes it literally.

I just implemented an indirect-threaded Forth VM for Cortex-M4. It's acting as the backend interpreter/compiler for an embedded scripting environment. The end user never needs to see Forth in any form they would recognize, but the underpinnings are there making the whole thing work.

I'd recommend starting with a simple (non-standard Forth) and get a feeling for the outer and inner "interpreter". It sets a great stage for getting something more advanced (e.g. lisp w/ GC) working.
I agree with this completely; Light makes up for what I would say is an inferior deductive ability by using a supernatural item with rules that defy ordinary logic and reason (L catches on early that such a tool must exist with his TV announcement stunt, but he can't possibly know the ruleset of such an item).

The only way Near and Mello end up overcoming this advantage is by: (1) Mello obtaining a Death Note of his own, allowing him to ascertain the real ruleset, and (2) Near not being directly involved in Light's life the way L was, and there not leaking any extra information about himself until the finale. That last bit is especially critical considering L was taken out precisely because he was physically present and therefore had his real name observed by Shinigami eyes.

I think the most under-utilized ability of the Death Note in the series is the ability to specify manner of death. Light uses this on occasion, but he could've have made many criminal deaths seem accidental or suicidal in addition to staggering their occurrences in time in order to throw L off from the very beginning.
I grew up in San Diego and having lived in a few other places, I really wanted to stay there. But I work for a startup and there is very little money. I could not afford even a cheap apartment in San Diego anymore.

So I moved to Tijuana. Same great weather and Pacific Ocean, fraction of the cost.
You know, I already have a bunch of Ubiquiti network gear but it hadn't even occurred to me to look at their security cameras. Not in the budget yet but once it is that's probably what I'll go with!
Google sucks nowadays. So much of what it does just makes technology and the web worse, not better.
Why is that a more appropriate term for behaviors that reduce competition?
RELP also uses TCP, so how would that help in a situation where Syslog over TCP doesn't work?
Liquidity is definitely amping things up in biotech, but industry trends and scientific advances are playing equal if not larger roles.

The NASDAQ biotech index starting outpacing the more tech-focused NASDAQ and the S&P around 2012. Biotech's outperformance peaked in 2015 and has been growing roughly at the rate of the NASDAQ since. The growth around 2012 was driven by better than expected sales from a number of big biotech companies like REGN, CELG, GILD, AMGN, BIIB that drove their stocks way up.

Then from 2012-2015 biotech benefited from a ton of pharma M&A. 2012 was the "patent cliff" where a ton of blockbuster drugs went off patent. Some very big companies lost 30%+ of their sales. 2012 was the first year ever that the pharma industry's sales shrank. At the same time, R&D productivity in big pharma was declining and they were laying off tons of R&D staff, so they had no new drugs to replace the off-patent ones. So they started buying tons of startups, and paying high prices

M&A activity dropped after 2015, and the sector's growth has been more limited since.

There also seem to be fundamental advances in science that are decreasing the cost and risk of drug development. Some studies suggest that the probability of approval is actually increasing in recent years. Some of this is because FDA is becoming more supportive of innovation, some is because of advances in precision medicine, biology, biochemistry, etc

Interestingly very little of the current biotech boom has to do with AI/ML / novel "tech". There are certainly advances in computation, biostatistics etc that have enabled companies to develop drugs more efficiently, but these have mostly come from within industry or academia, rather than from tech startups. There are some really interesting tech startups working in bio that could drive a new wave of innovation, but that would be on top of the innovation coming from biologists, biochemists, biostatisticians etc
Formcake – A Drop-In Back End for Forms
societies should tolerate everything except intolerance

That is a nice ideal to strive for, but the problem is that one person’s idea of tolerance is another’s intolerance. Example: people in the Valley love to think of themselves as “tolerant”. But most outside the Valley view actions like those taken against Brendan Eich of Firefox and the firing of James Damore of Google as examples of extreme intolerance. Defenders of these actions would argue that they are defending tolerance, because the Valley viewed these people as being intolerant. Defenders of the individuals involved here would argue that these actions show the Valley is extraordinarily intolerant of any view that even slightly differs from their own.

It’s a thorny issue. I absolutely detest 8chan and most of the speech on it. Most normal people would. But I also recognize their right to exist, at least in a country that holds the concept of freedom of speech in such high regard.
Why do you feel a platform should allow someone to use it to threaten the life of someone else?
> Soph _threatened to murder_ YouTube CEO Susan Wojcicki earlier this year, which resulted in the site temporarily suspending and demonetizing her account, according to BuzzFeed. [ emphasis mine ]

This goes far beyond hate speech.

They should call Child Protective Services and get her home investigated.
The strange pattern of dashes you used suggested something else. Why not just say something clear like "African Americans" or similar?
I'm centrally located in Berlin, and have an unmetered 400/12mpbs cable connection for 40Eur/m.

We lived near Tübingen and internet was pretty terrible. The options were 50MBit downstream (not guaranteed) VDSL or cable internet. With cable internet we had 200/20MBit, downstream was as promised, but upstream was often actually around 2MBit. Then there were regular service interruptions throughout the region. At some point, internet would be down for a few hours at least one Saturday/Sunday per month or so. (Maybe during the week as wel, but I was at work.)

We moved to The Netherlands a year ago, we have synchronous fiber of up to 500/500 (we currently use 200/200, and fiber is not available everywhere). It hasn't been down a single time over the last year.
This is an argument that doesn't feel to be in good faith, but to just stir reactions.
I dearly hope the janitor isn't the person who the grousing about the deep state is targeted at... Because if that's the case, it's a pretty weak one.

The janitor isn't the reason the DoS makes poor decisions. These decisions are made much higher up the food chain, and elected officials have direct influence over the people who make them.
Sometimes corrections do matter. If you bought at the peak in 2000, including dividends and adjusting for inflation it would have taken 13 years to get back to the initial level. Maybe it’s nothing, maybe the S&P 500 won’t get back to 3000 in a while. Probably it’s nothing...
Don't take time to elaborate, you might be able to actually voice your opinion and add something meaningful to the conversation.

That's exactly what I'm talking about when I say "intelligent discussions are impossible" on these subjects. When someone takes time to write something we can just reply "Lol whatever fam" and continue with our day feeling like we accomplished something. This is level 0 of human communication, you can abstain from it as it doesn't add anything, even a simple down vote would add more value.

Every single time I learned something valuable in life was when I talked with people having diametrically opposed opinions but who were able to have a coherent discourse, the problem is that these people are quickly disappearing and are being replaced by people spewing feel good one liners like yours.
You don't fire the line workers, you fire the managers. Workers don't set policy. They do what they are told.

None of the directors, or the senior administrators setting policy are unionized.
Working in a big-ish company many thousands of employees and this stuff just isn't there. You sign in, do you work, design cool stuff, test it, ship it, maybe have nice off-topic discussions about emerging technologies, or share a recipe with a one or two coworkers. Then 5pm hits, go home and enjoy all that other stuff like politics, hobbies, meetups, family time etc. It's really pretty simple.

I don't understand why Google and others can't be that way. It seems to me they've cultivated this stereotypical / superficial "share everything, we are one big family!" culture. And people, I am guessing mostly younger ones, really buy into it and take it at face value, then get disappointed with things go south.

The idea of an almost free-for-all internal discussion board sounds wrong and almost evil to me. It's a bit like the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hundred_Flowers_Campaign - "Yes, please tell us what you disagree with so we can blacklist you easier". Out of all the executives, I can't believe nobody saw the potential issues from it? (That is why I inserted "evil" adjective there, and of course it's a jab their motto).
There’s no incremental cost to choosing a Prius. So yes they can easily be signaling. They have to have a car so you can’t the case that “they spent $30k so they must be authentic”.
Yeah, there aren't any plans to put Starlink satellites in SSO.
There are societies which are in practice far more free in their expression of speech and which are at the same time substantially safer.

There is quite evidently no move to legally curtail any freedoms. Nor are the restrictions put on by these companies in any substantially onerous or making free speech impossible.
I would say this example is also flawed because children scream in public all the time. It's just... reality. Kids scream sometimes for any number of good or not good reasons and making the parent feel even shittier than they already do about disturbing everyone around them isn't going to solve anything.
Here are Bucharest temperatures since 1860, measured from the Filaret station, according to Berkeley.

https://i.imgur.com/wolGEz3.png

So while global temperatures may have been rising, they have been flat for Bucharest.

The fact that you think it has been getting warmer for you there, however, is an interesting point about media effects and mass psychology.

EDIT: Here too, is the same data station after Berkeley's data quality process has been applied: https://i.imgur.com/LvmbD9v.png No comment.
15 years ago, there were nearly twice as many people living in extreme poverty. The world is changing very rapidly. I lent the book to friends to read so I can only paraphrase from memory, but what Hans Rosling wrote in Factfulness is that he went back 20 years later to the same place in India, showing them pictures of how it was there 20 years ago and the huge improvements that were made, the people flat out didn't believe it. "Sure it was worse 20 years ago, but it was never that bad" was the people's response.

Romania is an example of a country that has developed a lot in the past few decades. I'm inclined to think that people can now afford AC, rather than that it's necessary. It's really nice having a cool place to work and sleep in, it really improves the quality of life, so when people can buy one, they would.

I don't know about the historical price of ACs when corrected for inflation, but it almost certainly didn't go up, and Romania doesn't have the temperatures they have near the equator. Those few degrees due to climate change is probably not the reason why suddenly a lot of people decided to buy one.
My doctor is in South Lake Union in Seattle, near a number of Amazon buildings. She hates Amazon with a passion, after seeing so many people in their 20s with health issues they shouldn't have until their 40s or 50s.

There's no chance I'd entertain so much as a conversation with a recruiter.
The difference is whether there is an intent to deceive for gain. Lying about my income on a credit application is different from lying whether my favorite food is pizza.
Good CAPTCHAs are solved by farming them out to low-paid workers, not bots.
Video in question https://www.bitchute.com/video/FNqiV8kL4cc/

I've never seen a 14 year old talking like that. Possible explanations: 1) she's a young-looking adult 2) she's a teenager with an adult scriptwriter 3) she's a deepfake/filter with a teenager's face and voice. I want to believe it's (3) because that would be the most Black Mirror thing.
Ugh. If "meets expectations" puts you in the bottom 5% this says to me that there's wild miscalibration in the review process; e.g not everyone is using the same standard for "meets" and some teams have inflation going on. At my last employer we had lot of cross-review between teams to make sure everyone applies a similar the same standard, just to avoid this problem.
YouTube randomly recommended the first part of the video card series to me a few weeks back. I'd never seen this channel before. I checked it out just to get the general idea of what he was doing but figured I'd bail on it a few minutes in once I couldn't follow along anymore.

Instead I got completely sucked in. His explanations were so clear I was able to understand the majority of the process and could possibly even replicate it or guess at the next step after watching for a bit. I felt like I learned more in that 30 minute video than I did in my whole year of high school electronics that scared me away from this sort of thing twenty years ago. My interest in doing some small projects is definitely piqued now.
Is there any sort of fallacy that the saying "use the right tool for the job" in the context of programming languages / datastoring technologies etc. can be categorized with?

I always have a feeling that this might be a fallacy, because tools are usually defined as "carrying out a specific function", but there is no specific function in regards to programming languages or datastoring technologies other than "make machine do" and "store data" respectively.

The rest just seems to be sideeffects. Kind of like you can either insert a nail into wooden board or produce a gaping hole in a Human's skull, whereas the function of a hammer is just to apply force to a relatively small surface (more or less). There are many right tools for inserting nails into wooden boards or producing gaping holes on human skulls, which is why I'm starting to think that the phrase "Use the right tool for the job" is preemptive hindsight.

You could always choose the right tool - so why didn't you do that?
I'm merely stating that a recession is, by definition, less stuff and services being exchanged between people and institutions. Money is just an abstract concept by which people do such exchanges.

And money printing (lowering interest rates, QE, helicopter money, fiscal stimulus like New Deals or the likes of building the Hoover's Dam) is a generally acknowledged consensus on how to at least try to fix it. That is how to at least try to make people transact more.
Not a credible threat, according to police. Also, only after she was targeted by the media (a common pattern for Youtube to take action).

> “Susan, I’ve known your address since last summer. I’ve got a Luger and a mitochondrial disease. I don’t care if I live. Why should I care if you live or your children? I just called an Uber. You’ve got about seven minutes to draft up a will. … I’m coming for you, and it ain’t gonna be pretty.”
We have laws that address child neglect. I'm not sure why so many in this thread think if we forbid intolerant speech that we're also in the same motion casting the entire book of laws into the trash...? It's a very odd segue.
The Death Note doesn't give the target any magic abilities, that the previously didn't have.

> "Person flips a coin 100 times in a row, and gets heads every time".

I'm pretty sure this would be interpreted as "The person has to flip coins until they have a 100 streak of only heads". This will obviously take a really long time, and the person might be driven insane before that. Similar things go for
your other examples.

In a comment further up you wrote:

> in particular we know that the Death Note is able to "manipulate" luck

I don't recall that specifically. Even then, I would guess that this has it's bounds. I also have the feeling (not backed up by lore, but I think it would fit in the world), that bigger manipulations would take more energy from the respective shinigami, so while a shinigami might be able to manipulate luck enough to make someone win the lottery, finding prime numbers would be too draining.
All pendants must be hung?
Maybe those games where you control a Western European country in the middle ages and have to defend your civilization against religious, cultural and ethnic rivals?
You and I might not know who they (1..n) are, but maybe some sleuths have figured it out, and not leaked the fact that they have.
2015 capital outflows was basically fake news lol.
> I don't know, I just think "intolerance" is such a stupid concept, and in this day and age it is used to attack the right, but it doesn't mean anything, it's a wildcard.

Probably the best comment in this whole topic.
This is the nerd version of asking the genie to grant you infinite wishes.
If you possessed such a device then errors in your "predictions" would be indicative of another party using a similar device. As such, I assume multiple parties would soon discover each other, engage in an incomprehensibly complex time-battle, and there would suddenly (instantaneously in all patched timelines) be only one such party.

Furthermore, I imagine it would be very easy for such a party to accidently blunder into a situation where they lose control of the time-messaging device, erasing all evidence of its own existence and leaving the timeline perturbation-free until such "time" as reverse time travel is rediscovered.
The Starlink satellites are using hundreds of m/s raising and lowering their orbit. The sort of plane change you're talking about would take something close to a thousand, conservatively.
I used to go on 4chan as a teenager. It was always "edgy" but only recently (since roughly around gamergate and Elliot Rodger, which is also when 8chan started) has it begun to seriously drift to the far-right. White nationalists saw that as an opportunity to radicalize teenagers to their cause and it's still ongoing.

There is a whole cottage industry of people attempting to radicalize jaded white teens and "skeptics" to turn them from ideological libertarians or politically unaffiliated into hateful, "alt-right" fascists. One of them was Steve Bannon [0].
