TL;DR: a very entry-level article about the field of popgen ("what is a genome?") and how the "breakthrough" is representing multiple sequence alignments as compact binary matrices. There's very little explanation or actual examples beyond that, so unless you're a complete layman the article probably won't satiate you.

Applying deep learning to genomic data is something of a fad these days - the bioinformatics world has caught up with the DL hype of the early 2010s and is trying to use DL on nearly anything that moves for easy papers.

The main issue with DL frameworks in the context of genomics is the format of input data. You pretty much want all your data to be a matrix of fixed size (if you want to use CNNs at least, and that's what everyone is interested in anyway), but that's just not how genomics data works. Sequences vary in length (I see the problems of nucleotide gaps, let alone short indels is left unanswered), alignments are not absolute (they are very much aligner dependent and secondary alignments are a thing), the alignments themselves may stem from different data sources (long reads cover more stretches of DNA but are less reliable than short ones), there is no mention of how ploidy is handled (especially in plants!) and somehow you're supposed to transform all of that into a neat 48x48 array to feed to Keras. Wait, thousands of them. Did I mention the human or plant genomes are often billions of basepairs long? Waiting for bwa to be done mapping on your cluster is the xkcd equivalent of "can't do work, compiling!"

So yeah, sorry to put a damper on this but I'm waiting for something within the reach of practical workability (and believe me the standards of bioinformaticians for workable stuff are low) before getting hyped.
Probably not. It sounds like they're scattered all over the place, with only heavily monitored company channels to contact one another (e.g. the Slack channel that shames people for spelling and grammar mistakes). There's no water cooler.
Foremost, we're focused on Transforms - helping users create and manage complex ETL transforms - this is your business logic.

One is the category of schedulers - airflow, astronomer - these are focused on scheduling these Transforms, so these are very different (we integrate well with airflow).

Then there is the NoCode category of transform services on cloud - these focus on simple movement of data - datacoral, segment, fivetran and all might fit here.

We're quite different from both!

"Capitalism as a system is particularly vulnerable to a world of less population expansion; a significant portion of the economic growth that has driven capitalism over the past several centuries may have been simply a derivative of more people and younger people consuming more stuff."

Yeah, but see - it's not.

Capitalism has these cool things called prices and utilize something called money so the ebb and flow of populations scales. Central planning - not so much.

"The underlying drivers of capitalism, the sense that resource competition and scarcity determine the nature of international relations and domestic tensions, and the fear that climate change and environmental degradation are almost at a doomsday point—all have been shaped by the persistently ballooning population of the past two centuries."

Wrong again. Capitalism is driven by self interest and our ability to choose. Hence the invisible hand, of which I can almost guarantee the author(s) has/have zero understanding.

"...the demographic collapse could be a bright spot for climate change. Given that carbon emissions are a direct result of more people needing and demanding more stuff—from food and water to cars and entertainment—then it would follow that fewer people would need and demand less. "

The idea that Climate Change is driven by Capitalism is laughable. You want to talk about how quickly the world's population is growing after centuries or millennia of perceptibly stagnant change without correlating the increase in Carbon PPM with such growth?

Let's see - the Little Ice Age ended right around the time the current "global warming" temp. # were first being recorded and the world had about 1.2 billion people. Now, 150 years after the end of the Little Ice Age and with an extra 6.3 billion people breathing in air, absorbing oxygen, and exhaling carbon, the temperatures and PPM of Carbon are on the rise.

Well color me fucking shocked.

The true danger, are the hyper-indoctrinated, under-educated, over-stimulated, generation of feelings monsters. Cause currently, it's just a shit show of narcissistic placation.
Thousands isn't much.
Your example demonstrates nothing against tabs.

A tabbist would say the problem was that someone used spaces.

One of Dante's lesser hells is surely reserved for anyone that mixes tabs and spaces.

The issue really is that someone is not following guidelines (C, project, or implicit) and is not using tools that highlight such mistakes.

There is another level of hell reserved for those that use their own personal styles and conventions without paying attention to the existing code (or who just don't care).

Not just recently, it's been known for a while. The author actually confirmed it:

So stopping subsidies for corn will impact other crops too? Isn’t nutrition diverse nowadays?

Edit: Answered. Corn is used as a cattle feed and hence beef prices will be impacted. It will have a chain reaction pulling down just corn subsidies.

Tangent: India used to have famines and import grains until Punjab ushered a green revolution with record wheat and rice harvests in 1960s. My grandma told me how before wheat barley used to be the nutritional source, and I for nostalgia sake asked for a barley dish. Nearly threw up.

Another part of the story that's extremely hard to find in the corporate news. We've been wiping out Latin American farmers by dumping subsidized agricultural products for the past half-decade and yet we call everyone else a dumper.

It does take those risks into account and I tested it on 2006-2008 previously. However, there is little point in testing a collapse with the same model. If the stock market collapses anyone investing would be out of luck. Your standard models won’t be able to track that, because it’s usually something like a “black swan” event[1].

Instead you’d want some sort of meta model. In either case. I’m getting 100% YoY returns when I augment my model, in real life. I think even a 50% loss one year wouldn’t be the end of the world.

One way of alleviating the boom/bust effect is some form of supply management, such as what exists for diary products in Canada: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supply_management_(Canada)

It's effectively a subsidy, but the subsidy is provided by the actual consumers of the goods (via government price fixing) rather than out of the general revenue pot. Individual farmers get grouchy that they're no allowed to have more cattle than their quota, but the reality is that those limitations protect a commons— if there were no restrictions and every farmer took on a few more cattle, there'd be oversupply, the price would crash, and they'd all be headed to Ottawa for a bailout. Yay free markets.

Note that this whole system is an interesting bit of political football in Canada, because the party that you'd expect to oppose it ideologically (the Conservatives) in fact do not, because their support base includes the rural farmers who benefit from it. The farmers are also well organized and well funded in terms of their lobbying operation. There was a recent mini-scandal about their presence at the Conservative party's national convention, see: https://nationalpost.com/news/canada/full-text-the-dairy-lob...
I literally have no idea how you're getting that. They play it pretty straight down the middle.
It's not all that inefficient for what it is. Just look at how expensive products like Beyond Meat are, and they don't even come that close in terms of taste and nutrition.
This is what the author is talking about when he says "alpha decay." He tried to account for it with backtesting (so simulating a market that has no knowledge of these strategies) and the strategies still failed.

3. Nope. We were producing less food when our farmers were subsidized.

1. According to my googling, the USA has 0.38 hectares of arable land per person, NZ has 0.14 per person.

You're aware only 2% of our land is arable compared to the USA's 16% right? Lots of mountains and hill country here.
Intuitively the problem you run into is that occasionally those obviously bad companies have amazing comebacks and you completely miss out on those, so you can still end up underperforming the S&P 500.
Yes it’s obvious that these cryptic 4-letter abbreviations are ticker symbols, but my point is that most people refer to companies by their names, not their ticker symbols. I’m wondering if using the latter is something common internal to Nvidia, or if there’s some other explanation.

>Profiting off of other people's tendency to trade too much and too confidently is some of the surest money in the market

This proves my point; this statement is counter to the efficient market hypothesis, and it shouldn't be too difficult to algorithmically find trigger events that cause people to trade too much and too confidently.
Nice to know, but it's kinda unfair of how it's gleefully perceived by many as a success of OSS. I mean, I'm also inclined to feel that way, but every time I remind myself, that except for programming-related stuff there are basically just 2 OSS software packages of competitive quality: Blender and Krita. And Blender was originally created by actual for-profit company and open-sourced later. After 30 years of GNU and all that stuff there's hardly anything else. That's kind of telling.
I've always felt like an inotify-based system that made invisible/anonymous commits every time the filesystem changed would be a great extension of the git commit workflow. You could then browse these and choose to make a "real" commit, or jump back to any point.
"The important concept to understand about profitable investing is that you have to have a strategy that others are not also using."

People always say this, but it doesn't make sense to me.

If I go to the grocery store and buy produce, and I assume I'm not more knowledgeable than an expert purchaser for a food service business, then am I necessarily better off buying stuff at random without even looking at it? If I'm really clueless, can I not learn to choose good stuff by examining it and trying it, and finding out what other people look for?

The problem, I think, is that when people are looking for a way to beat the market, they, pretty much without exception, look for ways to process the predigested information about a select group of companies that is already in a structured form. That stuff is the information that's most absorbed into prices, so why not stop "looking for your keys under the streetlight"?

Precisely because the market is very efficient at pricing everything that people can quantify, you don't have to quantify much at all! If you can tell rotten fruit from fresh, then you are adding value and you can assume that everything that you find difficult to evaluate is already factored in.

What if you just spent 10 seconds looking at each business description of a public company's 10-K? Instead of looking at numbers at all, just treat your investing like you have a stack of several thousand resumes and you need to hire 20. Of course, you want to look at some numbers later on before buying, just like doing a background check on a prospective employee, but just looking at a broad cross section of what's out there is enough to observe really obvious and educational patterns.

Here's something I read in a 10-K recently:

"In July 2014 as part of a diversification strategy we acquired companies engaged in the manufacture and marketing of electro-hydraulic servo-valves and the development of optical fiber hardware and software solutions for the security and protection industry. However, in the fourth quarter of 2015, we decided to focus on our hog farming operations, sell our operations in electro-hydraulic servo-valves and optical fiber based security & protection and seek to grow through internal expansion and acquisitions of businesses in the agricultural industry."

Now, if the market is efficient, and I am not an expert in hog farming, servo valves, or investing then how can I tell if this company is a better or worse bet (at the current price) than, say, Apple?
yes, this is possible, with more trades becoming a self fulfilling prophecy, and have stop limits in place all the times it didn't work.

I wish the technical analysis flock would merely incorporate different things. TA takes a time series chart and imagines time series patterns. It primarily neglects what didn't get printed on a time series chart, and why. How big are the orders at the resistance level, do you have a record of the order sizes that appeared at the last resistance level? who is selling at the resistance level and why? The TA answer is "just because its a psychologically round number for the resistance price" or "because thats how high the last high candle was", but you can greatly improve your win rate by understanding who is in the market and why, which is possible to understand and a large portion of my trading strategies. It can be much more data intensive though so I can see why 1980s gurus did not do it.

Cordova is time tested and has a large community behind it. I choose Capacitor if it's available and then go to Cordova if it's not. Ionic has a collection of easy to use Cordova plugins (https://ionicframework.com/docs/native/overview). I have honestly found they they are not that well maintained. I ran into enough issues that I avoid them if I can. To be fair, the contributors are people contributing on their own free time with no financial incentive. Hence, I choose Capacitor when I can. They have a financial incentive (Ionic is open about this https://ionicframework.com/blog/ionic-2019-business-update/)

I joined when Capacitor was in beta and figured I'd use the up and coming. From research, it appeared there was a good reason Ionic created their own product. They didn't do it to simply stop using a tried and true product.

Also to be clear, Cordova is not an Ionic product. It was a great community thing for a while to talk to native devices.
I would probably write a flask wrapper and expose an api to the Rails app. I’ve seen this done successfully at scale in a large Rails app.
Not a comment on the article, but it seems like the GDPR compliance overlay for securitymagazine.com isn't GDPR compliant.

To quote the GDPR at (4)(11):

> ‘consent’ of the data subject means any freely given, specific, informed and unambiguous indication of the data
subject's wishes by which he or she, by a statement or by a clear affirmative action, signifies agreement to the
processing of personal data relating to him or her;

and (7)(4):

> When assessing whether consent is freely given, utmost account shall be taken of whether, inter alia, the
performance of a contract, including the provision of a service, is conditional on consent to the processing of personal
data that is not necessary for the performance of that contract.

If there's an alternative link that sits better with EU law on this, I think it might be better to switch to that instead.

We're not adding a layer on top of all big data platforms, instead we work on Spark directly. This has advantages, disadvantages.

When you use our product, your code looks very similar to writing Spark code in IntelliJ. You get visual workflows along with it.

Our users are not having to learn or use another layer of abstractions that locks them into our API, and we avoid performance

Apart from interface, we automatically "convert" your legacy code into Spark & "migrate" these Spark workflows from one cluster to another. You can move workflows from private cloud to public cloud, or to another datacenter.

That's an interesting way to cherry-pick a statistic and ignore a genocide (I'll give you a hint: 1840's).

If Ireland had closed her ports, I wonder how much England would have felt the tighter food supply.

If is the key point here. We've never been anywhere close to a famine despite our farmers operating in an unprotected market.

Well, simplest way to put it is - you get an Data Engineering (ETL) product - that'll move your 10s of thousands of ETL workflows from legacy ETL product to Spark, give you a full stack ETL product on Spark, and move you from on-premise to cloud.

Plus it has improvements along multiple dimensions such as interfaces - that developers care a lot about!
