I recently completed my PhD in vertebrate comparative genomics so this is fun to see.

The single most important factor that needs to be accounted for in analyses like these is the correlation between phylogenetic similarity and the trait in question. In short, closely related species will tend to have similar lifespans, and closely related species will tend to have similar CpG density in any fixed genomic region. So the fact that you can predict lifespan from CpG density with enough parameters is unsurprising. You could almost certainly predict lifespan fairly well from any feature measuring phylogenetic similarity -- I would have liked to see some evidence showing that CpG density in these promoters is somehow uniquely suited for the task.

Bitcoin Fog did pretty well during its run. It mixed Bitcoin from at least two huge thefts. At least one of them generated a huge Reddit crowd-sourced tracking effort. And as far as I know, nothing was ever tracked.

I do get that Monero is ~anonymous by design.

But then, how does one buy it anonymously? All I see are exchanges that implement KYC. Using bank transfers and credit/debit cards. Are there any cash by mail exchanges? Or even local meatspace exchanging?
No, not period. If you're using an API gateway (which you should be), you can check against blacklisted tokens. The `jti` is your unique token identifier. As long as you have a way of maintaining a blacklist of tokens, this is trivial.
Government surveillance is crucial for effective counter-terrorism, counter-intelligence, foreign intelligence, and law enforcement. Government surveillance contributes to an increase in law and order of nations, and an increase in information, allowing these to faster develop, make better collective decisions, and defend itself when under attack.

Opponents mention that counter-terrorism is not effective for all cases of terrorism, in effect arguing for an increased and more efficient surveillance. "They were already on some watch-list.", of course, mass surveillance put them there successfully.

I hear of surveillance abuse, where privacy is violated (spying on ex-girlfriend). But, like the police has a monopoly on violence and can physically restrain your freedom, so has the government a monopoly on violence of privacy. If you deem your country incapable of holding that responsibility, I guess it is time to move to a country where the US government can gather even more than your telephone meta-data.

Finally, that we could end up in a totalitarian surveillance state, is a pessimistic projection akin to adversarial AGI or all police deciding to start abusing and shooting random citizens.
Sure, but you have to acknowledge that factorio is incredibly amenable to those types of tests -- in a way that most games aren't.

Never worked with JWTs but still, can't believe I didn't think of this. It seems like a fairly elegant way to revoke things where your only stored state is a timestamp.

This is true, PCI DSS still requires password expiry.

The trick is figuring out the boundary of the systems that are subject to PCI.
Most policies don't let you reuse the last N passords (N is often 5 or 10). So standard practice is to start or end the password with a digit and increment it when you are forced to. Better yet, digits are on the top row with the symbols, so you can knock off 2+ categories without moving your fingers.

Most employees have a sincere desire to their work with a minimum of fuss, and this does pretty well.

Yes! A good example is three-strikes laws, where a misdemeanor can get you a life sentence, so some criminals are highly incentivized to aggressively fight an additional arrest, with very little marginal incentive not to commit murder to do so.

From a 2015 study[1]:
"Three-strikes laws were associated with a 33% increase in the risk of fatal assaults on LEOs."

If you can write the used functionality in 10 minutes, you should not bring it in as a dependency.

I disagree with this; it depends on the size of the dependency, plus the risk of a problem with the dependency vs the risk of making a mistake vs the risk of code drift when the same 10-min thing gets written a dozen different ways across an org.
It's kinda hard to justify running a story about internal strife at another newspaper if you know the odds are good that you're going to get laid off in the next 2 years and potentially look for an opening at that newspaper. The job market for journalists is nasty lately.

Yeah, the low-level motor and sensory part is what's actually hard to get. Current AI is good enough to figure out the sensory stuff, but still works with the game input much more directly than humans. However for that to change, it needs a precise bio-mechanichal model of what the human players use; is something like this available at all?
Modesty means more, not less
yep. however, the token is then not "stateless" anymore since you have to take note of the blacklisted state.

however, once you really care about the security perimeter, i think the requirement/wish "stateless" must be dropped.
From the article:

Note: I was also trying to retrieve similar information for Lime scooters. However, the Lime API does not return a unique Scooter ID. For every request the returned scooter IDs are randomized (and internally they map them to their real IDs), which makes it impossible to track individual scooters.

I bought one of the first Kindles and loaded it up with a hundred DRM-liberated ebooks and read it avidly. Since then, phones have gotten bigger screens with higher pixel density and longer battery life, and my Kindle now sits is a drawer unused. The best ebook reader is the one you have on you.

Never mind misinterpreting docs then. There are documents that you wouldn't want read and properly interpreted by the wrong people at the wrong time.

For example, every year when it's time to allocate headcount resources, management has to make tough choices about which teams and projects should be expanded and which should be cut. This necessarily involves discussion about past performance and future expectations. Imagine seeing your team stack-ranked 3/4 of the way down some random prioritized list. You would be correct in interpreting that doc as meaning that management values your team in the bottom 1/4 of all teams in the org.

Without the context about expectations for funding, it might torpedo your psychological safety and ruin your Christmas. And then in January funding comes through for the whole organization (as management expected), and nothing ends up getting cut.

There are countless examples of how random docs can easily be taken out of context and cause angst and paranoia.

I used to drive down those ratholes but found the superniche items of choice tended to be dated, hard to find, expensive & suffered from hyper-optimization. Worst of all due to being dated, I found mainstream products were actually comparable to superior in nearly all measures.
Lots of comments (bitching) here about not showing street names. Can confirm, there are definitely bugs regarding street names being off-screen / not showing at the right zoom levels.

But are we technologists, or what? Figure out the behavior and suggest a solution.

I find that it happens to throw street names close to major intersections, which happen to be offscreen due to panning. Seems to me that there could be a change to detect when a street name is not present on the screen and make an adjustment to do the same. In other words tweak the heuristic for showing names +- zoom level. They do have _a lot_ of data.

I think it's really popular to hate on Google right now for a myriad of reasons—but I also think that people who work on Gmaps want to improve their product.

I would love to know my companies reasoning. I work for a huge health care provider and everyone from care workers to the nurses in our office have to change our passwords each 6 weeks. Myself and others just keep the same passwords and increase the number at the end. Currently we keep getting these emails from IT telling us security threat level is high and don’t click links from unknown locations. The system is buggy to add to is all so people are constantly getting locked out and they call IT who helps change to another password. After having to do it so often so many times most of us just don’t care anymore. My password is kind of complex and in the middle I have a number that I just increase each time.
Pardon my ignorance but if you're worried about the computer being compromised so that they could somehow access your LastPass, why would you even use it for any authenticated work in the first place?

Higher battery life? The Kindle battery lasts much longer than a phone with the backlight off and in airplane mode.

But again, even if a phone could be used as an ereader, my point is that for most people it is likely not. Even for bibliophiles, they might not get so much reading done on a phone due to the distractions that phones bring.

This is silly. By definition, if you're advertising on Facebook, you're selecting for a certain demographic. It's a bit broader than the AARP but by picking any medium you are discriminating against the people who don't follow that medium.

It's also weird to say you shouldn't be able to target certain demographics. An ad that resonates well with seniors might resonate poorly with millennials. You might want to attract both! So you run multiple ads. Or you target youngsters on Instagram and oldsters in the NYT.

This is not something Facebook is in any position to police.
If you read Thiagos's message about job/channel features you will notice a couple of points he made.

1. NeoVim made the channel/job feature first, so vim should follow it.
2. Vim's design is broken.
3. Bram should write new features for NeoVim first, why no PR's Bram?? Why no PRs to neovim?

Thiago is clearly an asshole. Sorry but I think Bram was reasonable and polite with his responses. His opinion about NeoVim's version is that it was too complicated, and he was right.

The problem is NeoVim started off on the wrong foot trying to throw away decades of work and then expecting Bram to implement new vim features? Seriously Thiago?

I agree in terms of the economics of it for many readers at least. I buy a lot of books. I would buy a lot more e-books I think if prices were reasonable i.e sub $5, vs. usually being as much a print copy. I also gift many books. I recently downloaded 200+ books via b-ok.org...most of which I certainly wouldn't have bought and probably half of which I won't open for years if ever. Two months later, though, a couple of the books I enjoyed that I've ordered new copies to be sent as gifts as friends.

I would be a good candidate for something like Kindle Unlimited, but most of the books I'm interested in aren't available there. At least half the books I downloaded (many academic as well as poetry and other books) are not available on Kindle Unlimited.

Subscription music aggregators seem to have a pretty decently comprehensive offering in a way that the book, news, and movie aggregators don't.

It would be a little weird, but if there was an app where I could read any book but every 20th page or so was some full page ad...I could live with that (as long as it wasn't a video or something). Not sure if that kind of a model could work in terms of the economics for writers -- but it's of course working for news mostly and for some film sites like Tubi and Pluto.
I've can completely related to your thoughts and it applies a lot more in developing economies with so much of good content floating around.

From the learnings, I did a fulfilling and enriching side coding gig for a couple of years spending a couple of hours every week that matched 50% income from my full time job (managing a large US real estate portfolio). It was related to increasing health awareness in the US and later to help immigrant families to prepare for the new administration.

I make every effort to buy content nowadays as an attempt to pay back the authors. That is the main reason, I totally love Medium, Spotify, Netflix and other content providers. They allow me to pay as you go and are on-demand.

It's a shame but I'm sure they are reducing staff with a duplicate function at Bloomberg.

This will continue to happen to publications that cant find a way to finance their operations. Employing a team to publish a publication is expensive so I dought subscriptions alone will be enough to support a team. I think it will have to be a combination of advertising, subscriptions and something else which we still have to define.

> I tend to say that the second step of climbing a ladder should probably not count as a new interaction.

That might make sense when you view it through this specific lens, but that design decision allowed them to save character positions on ladders and make 'getting on' and 'getting off' be separate 'things' - just off the top of my head.

The '2 interactions' method actually makes the most sense in the context of their game engine - it's the same way getting 'on' or 'off' a chair works.

Their fix of just allowing interactions is probably the most correct option. That is essentially toggling a setting, as opposed to re-engineering how ladder mechanics work.

Games are complicated.
Well... yes. If you're using `express.static()`, or if all five requests are getting different things from the disk. If you're using something that caches your static content in-memory, then the first request will use the thread pool to read that content, but the other four requests won't touch the thread pool - it's all async IO at that point, so it's all happening "concurrently" in a single thread, being multiplexed right here: https://github.com/libuv/libuv/blob/1ce6393a5780538ad8601cae...
