"risk exposing people’s genetic health information..."

Genealogy DNA tests only use 0.07% of a person's DNA (that's 0.0007 or seven ten-thousandths). Plus it's in the non-coding or "junk" zone of the chromosomes. Not much opportunity to figure out people's health issues from that little DNA.
Not sure how Stadia fits in with the rest. Modern games require more computing power than the average person has access to, so I think it makes sense to give users the option to offload that to the cloud.
If you're interested in learning more about the power of genetic genealogy and its real-world applications, I'd highly recommend the New Hampshire Public Radio podcast Bear Brook [0].

It doesn't cover this particular attack, but it does discuss the way databases were used to identify the victims of a murder that took place decades ago. In that case, there was a lot of work done tracking down branches of family trees, and asking living people to submit their DNA to these databases to help fill in the gaps that prevented positive identification of the victims.

Seastart HTTPD throughput as mentioned on their site Between 5 to 10 CPU, it can achieve 2,000,000 HTTP request/sec. Just Vow. But If you look at Http Performance data on below URL, running similar configuration on clouds (AWS etc.) looks costly though.

I wonder what would be cost of achieving similar performance on Hadoop stack.
I'm always surprised when articles like this don't mention reddit. Isn't it a top 10 website that was once top 3? I've read quotes saying one in three americans has visited reddit. Anyway, reddit is a great resource for studying moderation activity.
I'd imagine the major intelligence agencies have already started their own genetic databases, right? Being able to track down everyone at a genetic level is insanely valuable data from a national security perspective.

Given that the intelligence agencies regularly and aggressively hack every telecom and networking company out there, it's pretty likely that they have already hacked the commercial DNA databases, no? Why wouldn't they?

I'd like to think there is someone out there trying to protect my data, but it's much more likely they are just aggregating everything into a single genome DB that will inevitably get hacked or leaked.

Helicopters are VTOL, I don’t know what you think it means but it’s just ‘Vertical Take-Off and Landing”. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/VTOL “This classification can include a variety of types of aircraft including fixed-wing aircraft as well as helicopters and other aircraft with powered rotors, such as cyclogyros/cyclocopters and tiltrotors.”

Similarly, an electric helicopter would qualify as eVTOL. People generally aim for something more efficient in flight, but that’s a separate question.
Thank you so much!

I am addicted to Typora and this looks like it could get close. I'll try it and hopefully be able to switch before it's too late.

The idea to make a md-editor really WYSIWYG in the same window is a killer feature.

Of course MD exists so you don't have to bother with layout etc. but in my opinion I also don't have to see the formatting code (even if it's MD) once it is applied. This solution for me is the best to write texts, blog posts etc. as it is the maximum of distraction-free I ever saw.
In the future, 'AQ' could be more important than IQ
I wouldn’t be surprised if that’s already being pursued. Some online ebook publishers let you use their API... or browser automate to crank out epubs. Rich formatting will help to fool a cursory read by the filtering editors. Would be interesting to see how many 5 star reviews one would get ... perhaps from machines in a Chinese click shop.

That really only saves me disk space to avoid git clone. The considerations for choosing it are just tiny.
It's also pretty much a security and privacy nightmare.
Wikipedia is a good vehicle for correcting this excessively Eurocentric view of history. It's editable to anyone in the world, and it has always put effort into support all countries and all languages (even some fairly obscure ones). And it's used by everybody across the world. That makes it a great tool for teaching Europeans a bit about the rest of the world. Unlike most western encyclopedias, it's not just written by Europeans and Americans.
I wonder how exactly will those WinUI (or UWP GUI) APIs will be used in practice though. The vast majority of applications that still use Win32 do it through some sort of framework (be it wxWidgets, MFC, VCL/LCL, etc) that has specific assumptions about what desktop applications are and how they are made. From what i've seen, mixing WinUI and Win32 on the same application kinda feels like dropping a web control in a VB6 application and using HTML+JS to create the UI (which ignores pretty much all the strengths of VB6 while retaining all the limitations).

I have a hard time imagining why anyone who isn't forced to use WinUI in their Win32 application (forced in the sense that some middle manager heard about it and believes it is a good idea so forces the developers to use it) would use it in the first place. I mean, many applications/frameworks do not even use stuff available through COM since Vista and instead prefer to recreate them using the plain C APIs and that is for a seemingly simpler and more understood variety of COM.
By the requisites they list, which focus on the ISA, the original 68000 was already a 32bit architecture in 1979, but it would indeed take until 68020 in 1984 for the CPU to have a 32bit bus and for 32bit operations to not be internally split into 16bit ones.

I admire the foresight of Motorola in making the ISA itself 32bit from the get go.
There's countless examples of this phenomenon happening while having nothing to do with 'colonialism', blaming that as the primary cause that needs to be addressed seems like selective reasoning. Even AIDs was "co-discovered" (meaning first to identify it as a retrovirus and published in a paper) by a team in France and one in the US around the same time, and only the French team got a nobel prize 25yrs later which was controversial for similar reasons that it's a difficult thing to identify (also note it takes a long time to get this sort of credit).

It's not all that bad though. The troublesome waste from fission is the end products of the nuclear reactions. With D-T fusion that's just helium.

You do have high-energy neutron radiation, but most of that you're capturing to breed tritium fuel from lithium. Some of it makes reactor parts radioactive, but that's not a major waste problem; according to presentations I've seen from MIT fusion scientists, they'd stop being significantly radioactive after a few decades.
Embrace, extend, extinguish. What if, for instance, they built a fully-integrated package management solution into Github+VSWeb which wasn't based on git? There are a million ways they could create soft vendor lock-in with value added features.

"A stated goal in the article is also to build small-scale fusion reactors, which would reduce transmission costs."

aka enable them to be installed on submarines and so on.
Then you did not understand the main feature of Typora & Co:

_real WYSIWYG_ writing MD in various flavors. Don't try to tell anyone a plain editor could even begin to compete - it is about MD being applied while you type and then quickly getting out of your way.

They had about the same number of credit cards on file as Amazon.

Some might retort that the protests in HK came at exactly the right time to influence the Presidential election in Taiwan in favour of the incumbent...

From the point of view of the Chinese government there is no sabotaging of anything. The reunification stance under "one country two systems" is purely rhetorical. The KMT will never agree to 'surrender' to the communists, the other side will never accept reunification by principle, and the Taiwanese people will never agree to give up their democratic system. That won't change as long as the mainland is not democratic, and that is the last thing Xi Jinping wants...

"uber for storage"
> if you find yourself needing deep accessors, something is very wrong with your scopes

I'm not sure I agree with that statement in all scenarios. For code you control, sure.

But there are many APIs that return very deeply nested structures that are inconsistent in their shape. That, in my view, is the most common place devs will need deep accessors where parts may be null/undefined somewhere in between the root object and the key they are trying to access.

Sure, they could write functions that, similar to get in lodash, expose just the values needed, at which point chaining wouldn't be needed at all in the code that deals with that value. Or it could be serialized into a class object, but again, the chain would be dealt with in the serialization. At some point, the chain needs to be dealt with and often the JSON structures from APIs are not something that's always under our control.
Don't use a "text stream", use a binary protocol.
Maybe you've just proven that philosophical tracts can be written without any understanding. If the wording is sophisticated enough, everyone will assume there's some deep, hidden meaning in it. All form and no content.
BrowserFS: An in-browser filesystem supports various back ends
This is such an own-goal. Before worrying about censoring unwanted content, companies should spend their time on stopping promoting it (and building client side filtering controls) which is just as huge a problem and not anti-American to fix.

The problem is that companies want the flamebait and toxic content to drive enragement engagement ad impressions, but don't want to be accountable for the stuff that's just too edgy for advertisers.
We live in a strange world if reputation now means nothing. The whole point of judging by the source's reputation is that the content itself simply can't carry all the information necessary for it to be judged in isolation.
Similar to devs feeling the need to develop against a local kubernetes cluster I guess I'm too old (and I'm not that old!) to see the practical problem being solved with Visual Studio Online versus the marketing problem we're being told it solves. The most likely consumers of this are probably going to be far along the micro-services bandwagon anyway, and between containers, env vars, feature switches, etc... it's just never seemed necessary to spin up ENTIRE environments for what should be isolated changes, it's pretty easy to test against an already running integration environment.
Which Crypto Wallet Should You Choose
in practice it will not be so neat.
I suspect it will be as polluting as fission, perhaps worse, as the contamination will be in the superstructure, not the waste. And less efficient, and even more expensive.
False whistleblowers can suffer less repurcussions if you include "made up out of whole cloth" because it is impossible to ruin a career that they never had. They tend to be easier to discredit at least in a "the Pizza restuarant doesn't even have a basement it is built in swampland and would flood way too easily" way.
Why on earth would anyone want to learn Win32 in 2019? It's horribly unproductive.

I've been doing Win32 (also called "Petzold-style") since 1995, and am pleased to say I'm converting to Qt for multi-platform capability.

When I look at the dreck necessary to create a dialog box in Win32, and compare to more modern frameworks, it's like milking a cow vs. buying milk at the store. Sure, you're "into the fundamentals", but is that really how you want to spend your time?
Between this and deliberately disabling Volvo's own emergency braking features, I think some decision-makers at Uber should be charged with negligent homicide.

The power density of even these putative "small" reactors would still be grossly inferior to fission reactors. So using them in space limited applications like subs would make no sense at all.
The Importance of Being “Carrie

I know of no way to generate lift in a vacuum using a battery with unlimited power. You still need to eject mass away from you using fuel which is finite.
Yes this is nice but you can't really compare it to a standalone app like Typora / MarkText besides how it handles the content.

Some people don't need the 1k features VS Code gives you but some really good, minimalist editor to write MD with latex, images etc. I would not install an IDE to achieve this.
First, have you looked into medical tourism? That might be a solution to just take a week off and go to a medical tourism friendly country. Looks like it's 2$ a day in Colombia (based on the wiki entry) vs 62$ a day in the United States so if you're insurance isn't cover a good chunk of it, that savings should soften the travel cost some.

>Is there a black market for this?

Sorta? A lot of prepper types will keep various fish antibiotics, which you can buy freely and legally online (in the United States anyway) that just happen to conveniently come in gel caps in human dosages. Personally I always keep a bottle of amoxicillin, penicillin and cephalexin on hand and replace them every 18 months or so (I've never taken any of them, but I take comfort knowing they are sitting in a drawer if there's ever some crazy scenario where I need one of them and pharmacies are dry).

I've never seen rifaximin though (probably because it is new and fantastically expensive).

Examples:

- Fish Mox & Mox Forte (Amoxicillin)

- Fish Flex & Flex Forte (Cephalexin/Keflex)

- Fish Zole & Zole Forte (Metronidazole)

- Fish Flox & Flox Forte (Ciprofloxacin)

- Fish Pen & Pen Forte (Penicillin)

- Fish Cin (Clindamycin)

- Fish Sulfa Forte (Sulfameth/Trimethoprim)

- Fish Fungus (Ketoconazole)

- Fish Mycin (Erythromycin)

- Fish Doxy (Doxycycline)

- Fish Flucon (Fluconazole)

- Fish Min (Minocycline)

- Bird Biotic (Doxycycline)

- Bird Sulfa (Sulfamethoxazole/Trimethoprim)

- Bird Azithro (Azithromycin)

This looks to be a very good solution to enterprise companies that want to hire remote contractors as it gives them a platform that is much cheaper and arguable more (easy to) secure than other solutions such as VDI and VPN.

Once this is fully integrated with Azure and Office 365 it’s basically a one stop shop for outsourcing development work and if the pricing remains the same it’s also a very cheap one.
Encouraging people with low scores to apply so they can reject and boost their US News ranking via the exclusivity metric is new, though.
The biggest disadvantage of fission is its cost and complexity. Fusion makes these primary problems much worse.
See but that's a libertarian issue here.

If you value freedom above all else, Google being an independent entity, should have the freedom to ban / veto whomever they want.

You can't have it both ways: let people be free to say whatever they want AND force the owners of communication channels to spread all information.
So you'll not only need to know all these sublanguages (epochs) but also how they interact with each other, especially when you need to refactor code that needs to cross these "epoch boundaries" (refactor the functionality not just to "upgrade" to a different epoch).

Typically for Nobel prizes it's the person who wrote the paper who played the biggest role in early correct identification of the source and causes combined with spreading that in the wider scientific community, it's not merely who recognized it as a unique disease or simply studied it first.

The bar is simply higher and what's being awarded and therefore incentivized is the science part (which includes communication) not simply the discovery.

People running around trying to be the first to label it in their personal diary or in a local community isn't what is being incentivized.

Here's what we're all going to find out together: To be included in the upper echelons of society, you have to be in the club. The be in the club, you have to do some absolutely awful things. The more awful and unspeakable things you do, the higher you may rise. When it comes out what all the unspeakable acts were, every normal man is going to pick up a gun, axe, pitchfork, or whatever implement is readily available and they are going to march to DC and lynch every single one of these scum.
> They can't change it afterwards.

I would argue that TypeScript absolutely can change things that would be consider breaking changes. And they do have breaking changes in just about every release (sure wish they followed semver for that reason). They'd just want to be careful for big things like private fields or decorators, making sure the breaking changes get communicated publicly and loudly.
