"an American general at the time expressed the desire that Germans would henceforth be a “nation of shepherds”, incapable of playing a major part in world affairs—yet shortly after the war’s end, it was well on its way to accomplishing the Wirtschaftswunder, the economic miracle that it maintains to this day. Japan arose the ashes in a similar fashion. And the United States…the country that for the entire postwar period served as a source of aspiration for people the world over, a model of domestic stability and good governance, and a guarantor of its allies’ military security, is now riven by toxic political discord and stands at the brink of social collapse."
An even bigger question: why is DNA/RNA always expressed in the same way? I.e. the codon->aminoacid table is constant for all living things. I always found this very puzzling. Of course, the easiest explanation is that life really did start from a single cell. But it sounds unlikely that a) there really was that single origin cell, and not a few that popped up around the same time (on a geological scale), and b) no organism has drifted in the millions of years of evolution.

I have to assume that your perspective is being coloured by personal experience. At this point, your argument is simply: "Building pokie machines is bad because I think it's bad". Sorry, but I disagree with that, as stated before, they should be available to those who can use them responsibly.
The optimizer consists of MOSFETs, an inductor, and a microcontroller. The circuit is pretty similar to a BLDC motor controller.

The circuit relies 100% on the microcontroller outputting the right signals, otherwise a mosfet gets stuck on (causing overcurrent, and burning out). Little boxes like that are hard to waterproof and make resistant to repeated temperature fluctuations. My guess is some water went in and shorted some control signals, or repeated temperature changes caused a solder joint to crack. That caused the MOSFETs not to get the right control input, so they got really hot and caught fire.

It's just as likely to happen on a de-energised panel too - the optimizer is still connected, and the sun is still shining.

Once a piece of software is released as open source, it can be freely distributed. And Maven Central packages require an open source license. The author might own the copyright, but he licensed that copyright away when publishing on Maven Central.

In other words a "copyright takedown request" isn't valid, unless the author was in violation of the copyright of somebody else while publishing those packages and this was decided in a court of law.

It might happen, but I have never heard of Maven Central packages being removed.

But I do see GitHub repos being renamed or removed all the time and I have seen NPM packages removed, for no reason other than the author wanted so, screwing the entire JavaScript ecosystem.

osquery is cool. But, as far as I know, it doesn't expose the filesystem as a database, it is closer to /proc-as-a-database. (osquery can monitor specific files, in particular security-sensitive files, and expose events related to those files in SQL tables; but I don't think that facility is scalable from certain specific files to the entire filesystem.)

Except that some sorts of life, such as some sprouting plants, do incorporate those "non-proteinogenic" amino acids into proteins.

Which then screw up animals that eat them. Because they, in turn, also incorporate them into proteins. And those tweaked proteins elicit immune responses, because they weren't present during immune system development. And some of that immune response cross reacts with the normal host proteins. So you get autoimmune disease.
It's even more of a signal then. If these insinuations were true, there'd be no point whatsoever to spend $5M to buy shares of the company which he knows is insolvent. It's not like if this is true his share purchase would buoy all of GE.
What Would Thinking Be Like Without Words or Pictures? (2016)
The suggestion to "dig your own well" suggests your comment is not entirely in good faith, but I'll respond as if it is.

Plenty of people do filter fluoride from their tap water or source non-fluoridated water for drinking.

The problem is that the mainstream population is led to believe that one has to be stupid to think fluoride might carry any health risks, and therefore stupid to take steps to reduce/avoid fluoride.

As someone who was raised in mainstream society by educated, scientifically-minded people, and educated/interested in science myself, I held this assumption, right up until I was given very real cause to question it.

Several years ago I started experiencing a complex combination of physiological impairments, including fatigue, memory/cognition problems, mood issues (depression/anxiety), digestion problems, immune-system dysfunction, among others.

After much research and testing, my thyroid function has been identified as a key factor in my illness.

Research on this topic has led me to multiple studies indicating that fluoride ingestion is linked to thyroid impairment.

A recent study [1], published in Scientific Reports, affirms that hypothesis, but there are many others.

(Incidentally, thyroid function has been linked to IQ [2][3], so this phenomenon could well be linked to the results of the study under discussion in this thread.)

I'm currently undertaking a process to seek to remove accumulated fluoride from my body and raise my iodine level (of which fluoride is an antagonist, but which is an essential nutrient for thyroid function).

Time will tell if this held to bring about the desired result.

But the thing is, people who aggressively and reflexively dismiss any doubts about the safety of fluoride aren't interested in seeking and dispassionately examining studies like these, which suggests their motives are far more ideological than they are scientific.

Meanwhile, countless people suffer with undiagnosed or “incurable” thyroid disorders and related conditions like chronic fatigue syndrome, and are made to believe they should “just try harder” or “stop pretending to be sick”.

I'm not a finance code money, never was, not aspiring to be either.

The simple fact that these high-end/custom/complex finance products/services are not cheap but people buy them means that it provides value to some rich investment people. (And they usually know what makes them money.)

Computers made everything grow since there are computers. Every company uses spreadsheets, uses or subcontracts the use of tax, payroll, healthcare/benefits and accounting software. Email, telephones (modern telephony is completely computerized), and so on (basically everything nowadays depend in its current form on chips and electricity).

Finance was simply one of the most well suited aspects of the business world to benefit from computerization. So it grew a lot. But naturally we're nowhere near the "end of automation". Software is eating the world, but quite slowly, because the world is complex - as you said, however modeling it and putting some tracking indexes on it and quoting a price can be done well. (This is what MSCI do for example. Benchmark indexes are very crude but generally useful things - and their purpose is exactly to paper over the complexity of real life, of "real industry" for business analysis purposes.)
Python wsgi servers are generally based on processes and not threads since threads would trigger GIL considerations. While your process is making the single API call, the process is not serving anyone else, ergo you can only have so many simultaneous requests in flight as you have workers. Threads have no benefit over asyncio in python due to the GIL and have costs over ascyncio due to setting up the thread context with the OS.

With asyncio based implementations, while the coroutine is waiting for the response on the API call, the process's event loop can check on the coroutine which is handling the network socket and start processing another request. Ideally it should have no impact on the amount of time the original request takes to process but you can see how it might since when the API call resolves, the process may be working on the other request instead of continuing with the original coroutine.

Asynchronous code in general can allow you to extend your bandwidth past the number of concurrent executions your program can maintain (whether they be processes in python or threads in other languages) by doing additional work while it is waiting for something to complete. Ideally it should not cost much in terms of latency.

"Better to take something like RISC-V and come up with the first high performance design."

The problem is that RISC-V mnemonics and programming model is so retarded (as compared to MC68000 or UltraSPARC) that one needs a compiler to abstract and hide that mess away. The other problem is that in several years in which RISC-V has been hyped, nobody came up with a 19" rack server design, let alone sold one priced competitively with a 1U P. C. tin bucket server. RISC-V is all hype, but without serious hardware, its impact will be and remains questionable at best.

You wouldn't use avocadoes when a recipe asks for flour but in the start-up world, everyone seems to think that what works for the well-known successes will automatically work for them.

Variants on the genetic code are known to exist: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genetic_code#Alternative_genet...

I don't think there are any known to be radically different. Note that it's possible that life arose several times but only the lineage of that one cell survived, perhaps? In any case, it's not like there's been no variation.

Now, here's a mystery (AFAIK): Just where is the genetic code stored? I seem to recall reading an article a while back about how while this seems like an easy question it's actually not known. I can't seem to find it at the moment, though. Anyone know more about this?

> Macintosh definitely stands out in this respect. Many similar functions within MacOS are accomplished by exactly the same action (e.g., removing is by dragging into trash, opening is by double-clicking).

Really bad example here IMO. All OSes have the concept of opening by double-click. And OSX is not consistent about dragging to trash, eg, can you drag an open browser window to trash? If yes, what does that do? Does it delete the loaded web page from your computer? Or does it leave bits of it in various caches? Or does it delete the browser from your computer? Or does it delete the content from wherever it is a stored (an email in gmail)?
is that correct? I seem to remember a biochem class noting there are exceptions, and depending on conditions or species codons can be transcribed to different AA.

For the first question, isn't this related to the types of AA that can bind to transcriptase?

> This is what the parent comment means when referring to pointer chasing -- XML documents are a big random access graph in memory, CPU cache and prefetch is close to useless in that environment, so when walking the DOM as part of some parsing task, much of the time is spent waiting on memory, with the execution units lying idle.

Bare in mind that this is only true if you parse with the DOM model, if you care about efficiency and it's at all possible then the SAX model is much faster, you won't be bound by pointer chasing as there's very little in memory at once. IME the next big gain comes from eliminating string comparisons with hash values. By that point xml parsing is entirely limited by how fast you can stream the documents.
And people completely missed the point :)
It's frustrating to see science emasculating itself and rely on commercial, even monopolistic services when there is no lack of research in document search and comprehension. Ten or fifteen years ago there was citeseer for tracking citations. It was a messy Perl program/site to scan through mostly TeX files for metadata and references, yet it worked relatively well, and was held reasonably up-to-date. Then they rewrote it into CiteseerX, such that it became useless. It never recovered.
If you have not watched it, the movie The Death of Stalin is great, mostly historically accurate, though not in the depiction of the characters, and extremely funny. Zhukov is represented as a hilarious bully who intimidates the whole politburo.
The part which describes the development of Turbo is really cool. It shows off the value of having an interactive development setup that allows for fast and intuitive iteration.

As a Googler I'm surprised to see such an interface internally. Google systems have notoriously slow compile and test speeds for simple things (because the systems are optimized for very large projects). I think the difference between 500ms compilation and 10ms compilation is actually enormous.
The Registry could have been a lot better.

It has no schema. Imagine if it had some sort of schema, declaring what sub-keys and values are allowed under each key. Imagine if the schema was self-documenting, with each key/value declaration in the schema had an associated description explaining what it was for.

Imagine if it had richer data types. For example, a "link" type, in which a value actually has the name of another key. If you try to delete the target, either it doesn't let you, or it sets the value to some sort of null value. (Basically, something like foreign keys in a relational database.) And an index to quickly find "back-references" (show me everything that points to this key.)

The registry should have included a database of installed packages/applications, and every key should have been marked with what package/application owns it, along with some sort of indexing to make it quick to find everything a package/application owns. Application uninstalls would have been a lot cleaner, and issues with apps leaving behind junk in the registry avoided.

Transactions: This was added in Windows Vista. But it could have been there from the beginning.

OTOH, remembering the registry was originally implemented in Windows 3.1, which had minimum system requirements of a 286 with 1MB of memory, maybe my suggestions above just wouldn't have been feasible.
That's because it comes with a load of built in functionality.

I am sure Flasks documentation is a lot smaller but its essentially just a few parts of Django (it doesn't have a built in ORM from what I understand). Start adding in the documentation for SQL alchemy, documentation for an authentication library and whatever else you need and you will probably start getting something similar but without the guarantee that the pieces will play nicely together.

(Djangos documentation is really good.)
The mapping between base triplets and amino acids is encoded in the tRNAs. And the tRNAs themselves are of course again encoded in the DNA sequences used to produce them.
Repetition without feedback (from reflection or assessment) is just repetition.

You need some feedback about how wrong you are and in what dimension. You then have to adjust that dimension proportionally to the feedback.
