It doesn't say when the professors work was duplicated, it may have been a published experiment he duplicated at his university job. I imagine most US university medical labs have grant funding from those organizations, they don't even suggest Wang was involved with that research.

And wiping your phone before international travel, particular to China, is just smart. That doesn't imply wrongdoing.
I think this piece rambles on against the far-left a bit to much to be useful.

The political dialogue is currently in territory that is Important. Normal families are under significant financial pressures, the legitimacy of major institutions (police, presidential elections, government solvency) is open to questioning. Global conditions are tense, let alone America's internal problems.

This is a time for sober discussion of the issues, not calling people "great reality-show villain" or "Twitter Robespierres".

There is a real problem that the atmosphere on the left is stifling alternative ideas for one, ironically experimental, orthodoxy. That needs to be discussed. Lots of other issues also need to be discussed.

And answering the headline; I fully expect all the narratives in all major US press outlets to be proven false at some point in the future. What passes for 'good journalism' these days is being vaguely correct about what the issues are. I wouldn't be surprised if not a single quote from a political figure has been presented in context in the last 2 years. I refuse to believe anything in the media about who said what without cross-referencing against a primary source. It is impossible to have an honest political discussion in that environment.
How is this different from a zero-coupon bond? On pipe.com - https://www.pipe.com/help they say -

"The discount that investors are willing to buy your subscriptions for ranges based on the health of your business. However, they are significantly less than the discounts you may be offering on annual pre-paid contracts to your customers, with the added benefit of maintaining 100% of your ACV."

If the 'security' is bought at a discount but the ACV is financed is 100% how does the investor make money?
Just to confirm, but a GSM module won’t work for AT&T (but will for the time being for T-Mobile) in the US, right? To my knowledge, AT&T has shut down most (all?) of their GSM network and is only LTE (in its various flavors).
Games. Nintendo lost Square to Sony, and Dragon Quest from Enix kinda petered out and eventually shipped on PS1. The effectively had a huge catalog of RPGs that n64 was sorely lacking. There was also a comparative lack of 'mature' themed games. And the catalog was smaller, about 5x so. Even Zelda was not a launch title. Probably because the cards were substantially more expensive than CDs.

There was also a supply issue early on in the n64's lifecycle, I seem to recall it being just shy of Tickle-Me-Elmo hard to find.

The ps1 was also easier to pirate, double edged sword though it be.
This honestly just reads to me like more media-class self absorption. How you manage to use the phrase “Twitter Robspierre” and then pivot to defending Cotton’s editorial on populist grounds is beyond me. I’m sure the guy managing the Olive Garden in Upper Arlington, Ohio is up at night worrying that the Times Op-Ed page is going to be taken over by the reincarnation of Danton.
I don't think somebody restoring and flying this plane takes any human lives. There is the opportunity cost argument -- you could've used that money/effort to save lives instead -- but again, you gotta condemn basically every form of leisure to go that route. That doesn't work.
I have actually considered doing it by modifying one of the planar XY types, but if you're going to get the limited range of the blu-ray, might as well use one of those ones I already have. I ran into hundreds a while ago, funny story about that.

It’s not even a Vst unless you count the fact the the entire reason suite was made into a vst/au/aax plug-in as of the latest release.
On the one hand, with TTKs the same as CS, it's unlikely it will ever be as ability heavy as Overwatch.

On the other hand, unless Riot deviates massively from my expectations, they will release new agents so often, and with such power creep, that it will get pretty damn abilities-heavy and approach Overwatch.

The estimate isn’t as useful but the process you go through to arrive at it can be. It forces our team to ask questions about high risk aspects of our code - where do we need to get data from? Does this touch <scary legacy service>?

Or at least that’s what I’ve told myself, but admittedly it doesn’t address the central issue of we still don’t know how long this will take. We can usually tell if something is “days” vs “weeks” of work but we still get those terribly wrong sometimes. I’ve found people don’t like it when I say “it’ll get done when it‘s done” though so I’m forced to keep trying.

In practice we just try to write code in a way where most things can be done in “days” of time because the variance in your outcome tends to grow very quickly when the estimate is larger.
I'm surprised they don't implement particular forms of shadow banning, such as degrading connections and causing dropouts for particular accounts. That'd be much harder to prove than account termination. Frustrate instead of infuriate, like aspects of the GFW.

Civilian technicians at many NATO militaries also have "levels."

A difference in between a civilian worker in the military, and a ranked officers is exactly them being a civilian, and another being a member of military command.

No civilian employee anywhere there commands troops around. A distinction that can not be overlooked, and be more obvious.
I'm a web developer, Safari mobile feels honestly on the borderline of being abandoned, every time I look at their new Safari release, there's a least a minimum of 6 to 8 years of lagging behind Chrome and Firefox (and that's just the features we're talking about here, not basic layout, forms & css bugs they still have...). I generally spend as much time to fix Safari mobile as IE11

I play very infrequently, so it is fun to say "let's play legacy, pick something random from a legacy top decks list". Gets boring pretty quickly, but I'm burnt out on MtG for awhile by that point anyway :)
I love looking at old processes only to think "Boy...we've lost the ability to make mechanical things well because almost everything (barring servos, actuators) is now software controlled". In electronics, it is dumbed down to reading a 870 page datasheet about an all-in-one-mother-of-all-peripherals SOC. No more discrete circuitry, no more logic chips, none of that.

Note that I am not saying those solutions were better, but there was a lot of hardwork, talent and intense discipline in making stuff back in the day. Drawings were hand drawn! Some guy was bending down for 3 days straight to make that schematic!

It's all too viscerally physical and mechanical. I want a time machine to go to the 70's for a bit, and furiously document and interview people. Lot of this knowledge and expertise is lost because we don't need this stuff anymore.

Remember things when they had toggle switches and knobs? What happened? We have touch screens that ask us to scan the QR code of the water filter before dispensing water from the Fridge. Oh, but it shows today's weather on the door. So great.

On Hackernews, we are such an intense bit of people - we should bring some of the old tech back and simplify our world. If you're in software, build flat, simple and fast apps that are maintainable. Make them composable and modular. If you're in hardware, build high quality stuff for twice the price but then convince the user through honest & truthful marketing that this product is better for you in the long run. Instead, the rush these days is to market products with abhorrent psychological tricks and backstab users with all kinds of dark patterns. Shame on you guys. When you're on your death bed, none of this will matter. Do good things and build great stuff. Atleast I will reflect back that I made the users, you know the ones that provided me with a living wage, happy.

This is bad read on the history of innovation. I offer two counter-examples, though there are many more:

(1) Japanese semiconductor industry, for which there is an excellent NHK documentary [1].

(2) After WW2, the British invited Soviet engineers to tour jet engine factories as a token of good faith. The engineers documented the factory layout, and wore adhesive on their shoes to gather metal filings for later analysis. A few years later, Mig-15's were shooting American planes out of the sky over Korea. A similar example: the British transferred huge bodies of knowledge to US aircraft engine manufacturers during WW2. This laid the foundation for the industry's future success.

> It seems like the really good discussion places wouldn't have to carry this caveat.

Ideally, yes, but if the political views you are hoping to find are ones that overtly limit any dissent or respect for any other view (extreme absolute authoritarianism for example) then the views themselves subvert the ability to have meaningful discourse about them.
Deno: 1.0: A Review of Features
Hey, I am really glad that you brought this all out into the open. Yes, not everything has been explained the best. I'll probably make another update onto the FAQ, but to answer your questions:

It is 3 separate products. All include everything you need (stage and camera) to do scanning in the same fundamental way I've been doing it --- with motors, a computer, and a USB microscope. The Classic and Beefy both have the camera and sample move, with the classic being smaller and more 3D printed possibly and the Beefy having more range, a better camera, and a fifth axis.

The Platform is the odd one out; it is experimental with all motors on one "block", so that only the small sample moves. The idea is then you can just plop it down wherever you were taking pictures and aim your macro camera at it. The need to use a windows computer is me going overboard with the requirements --- it's what would work if you were going to do it exactly as I'm doing now.

In reality, it's a motorized stage. It moves how you program it. The challenge is getting your camera to move in sync, but basic triggering could be hacked in any setup, even if you couldn't take advantage of image processing/decision making in real time.

Made some software. Big amounts for setting up and actually running different kinds of scans. Some for stacking, sorting through pics, and active machine vision, like following around insects. Some existing software is still used, like microsoft ICE for stitching, and helicon focus or picolay for stacking. Free options for everything.

I hope this helped explain some things! And I sincerely hope that I can figure out how to explain it better from the get-go next time. Seriously, this is my first time doing this, and I am learning a LOT. Take care, and thanks!
Slack is hands down the worst app I’ve ever used in environments that aren’t very high latency.
Maybe get in touch with the support? Perhaps they can add some protection to the account.
So imagine this tech in a simulated war mmo, where each server of 64 players represents a part of a battlefield and you instantly can transition to a new server representing the next part of the battlefield when you walk there. All of WW2 would be a collection of servers that represent parts of Europe.

Takes a little imagination, but when you look at the ingenuity of something like F-Zero on SNES (2.5d graphics), it’s pretty clear that your typical tech really can used in amazing ways.
The entire dev process with Apple is hardly ethical. No flexibility with payment options, the constant review and redevelop process even on apps that have already established a strong history. And the upfront and continuing costs... You'd have to buy every available iPhone version on market, a Mac, the programming license, the app store license, and hope Apple doesn't just rip off your idea for a future iOS feature then kick your app out of the store entirely. I may be off on some of this, but any of it is too much.
> I mentioned an author using a fictional society's phrasing to influence that society's thought process on ownership.

I haven't read that particular book, which is an oversight I'll have to correct on my next holiday.

With that in mind, couldn't society's thought process on ownership drive the phrasing, not the other way around?

In other words, maybe you can't change thought processes by changing phrasing.

Might as well listen to Rush Limbaugh - you'll get the same arguments, and the same lack of substance, as this article, but with far more entertainment.

In any case, the point he was trying to make is all well and good - the media should ask the tough questions and sometimes society impacts the flow of free thought. But it seems to Mr Taibbi only the left has this problem.
It's not hard? Most of the things you list are things that a lot of people, no matter what gender or background, struggle with. The imbalance in the dating game comes from the fact that men are way more willing to accept a girl below their level. Not to mention all it takes is some makeup and complementary clothing to turn a 5/10 girl into a 7/10 or better who can start pulling guys way above her weight. Girls are taught not to settle. Rightfully so. I wish guys were taught the same. Then maybe things would be slightly different.
You're going to need more 10s.

Formatting is rudimentary but it exists: https://news.ycombinator.com/formatdoc

Your example is actually a really good one for discussing these differences, and the syntax is indeed similar. That TypeScript code is introducing a "type alias," which is a special name for another type, rather than a new type of itself. (https://www.typescriptlang.org/docs/handbook/advanced-types....)

This is a concept that F# does not have, because F# doesn't support structural typing. In TypeScript, you could just as well specify that a function returns

{
amount: number;
account: number;
}

directly, and it would be equally compatible with anything expecting a "Check," because Check is just a shorthand for that object type. I can't easily declare that a function accepts { account: int; amount: int; } in F#, I have to declare that it accepts "Check." That is the main difference between TS and F# here, and incidentally also the most basic difference between structural and nominal type systems.

I'm not sure why the syntax is similar though, F#'s is based on OCaml's record syntax while TypeScript's is really just a JavaScript object literal but with semicolons instead of commas. I believe it supports commas too. It may be genuine coincidence, or the designers of TS may know of the ML family, which is highly influential among language designers and implementers.
To add on/clarify. A physical game for the switch is basically a memory card --- put it in any switch and you can play. A digital game is a download, tied to your device and/or account.
And you believe your response has substance to it? Where's your argument? Anything going through your head other than "Uoogh, he same as other guy I don't like!"

The problem is that often you hear things like "Tribal people X have no word for 'lying' in their language" as if that meant that they couldn't understand the concept. But of course they do, even if they call it "not telling the truth". Similarly, people like to point out words in languages like German that are compound words, and as amusing as things like "Donaudampfschiffahrtsgesellschaftskapitän" (Danube steamship company captain) are to English speakers, it isn't as if we can't understand the concept. There just is no evidence that people of different languages think differently.
> if you’d like to shortcut my rambling my TLDR final diet in order of importance: Eat only from 12-8pm. Do not drink any calories (no soda, no alcohol, no juices, avoid milk). Avoid processed food (follow Michael Pollan’s heuristic of only shopping on the outer walls of a grocery store, staying clear of its center). Avoid sugar like the plague, including to a slightly lesser extent natural sugar (apples, bananas, pears, etc - we’ve “weaponized” these fruits via strong artificial selection into actual candy bars), berries are ~okay. For meat stick to fish, occasional chicken is okay, avoid beef/pork. Avoid carbohydrates and “empty calories” (bread, pasta, potatoes, rice), replace with fats and proteins.

I admire this effort, but I have a huge problem with the conclusions. Simply "avoid carbohydrates" is silly advice. Billions of people live quite healthy lives eating carbs (pasta, bread, rice). How can you ignore this simple fact? I understand what the author is trying to achieve, but... I can't take this as good advice. Bits and pieces, yes. Everything? Unlikely.

If I were a company using Zoom, I'd be a little worried. Zoom already proved security isn't part of it's culture; now, likely because of it's dev office in China, it's doing at least some of what China asks. I'm suspicious of their end-to-end encryption claims (and implementation), and it's in the realm of possibility that the Chinese government is spying on Zoom calls.

It’s a failure to understand language. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eskimo_words_for_snow

Meanings evolve and often doesn’t follow the literal words used. “Pull yourself up by your bootstraps” for example has seen it’s meaning dramatically shift over time. Basically as soon as a phrase has a well known meaning, that meaning can begin to drift.

As a developer, Apple is heavily, heavily pushing us to adopt subscriptions, even for apps where it makes no sense. We get contacted by developer relations folks several times a year, they even dragged us to a seminar to espouse the joys of subscriptions. We do a camera app.

All we want is clearly-marked trial versions (not "free apps with in-app purchases", users think that's bait-and-switch and give you 1 star reviews), and upgrade pricing. Apple refuses to adopt those.
