I doubt that it is like an object store. I think that it is built around the notion of multidimensional array (matrix) by focusing on data science tools. Yet, they use the term "table" which is somewhat confusing because there are significant differences between tables and arrays. Maybe they use (sparse) arrays at physical level and then support other data models at the level of operations. For me it is not clear.

No it's a dispassionate statement of fact.

Sometimes when I'm choosing not to get too wound up in current events I just want to know what's going on expressed in the simplest way possible. A briefing. I'm sure their opinion here on the impact is extremely sensible, but sometimes I'm not interested in anyone's opinions, no matter how obvious or sensible.

This thread was about how to avoid getting involved in people's opinions and just learning the essential facts that you may have to do something about, like a new law to wear a mask, wasn't it?

Cytokine just means ‘cell signalling molecule’.

The word doesn’t tell us anything, or anything much at all, about what those cell signalling molecules do, where they came from, nor what their target / recipients are.

Source: studied a bit of anatomy and physiology & pathophysiology along the way.

From Wikipedia: The word comes from Greek: cyto, from Greek "κύτος" kytos "cavity, cell" + kines, from Greek "κίνησις" kinēsis "movement".

Thank you for commenting. I haven't looked into the groundwater issue -- perhaps a consequence of living in rainy countries to date.

On your second point, I think the big problem is that status is increasingly linked with consumption -- having a large house, relatively new car, frequently travelling, and so on. This link has always been there, but perhaps non-material ways of obtaining status have declined (religious vocations, public service, etc.)
The biggest problem of AI in increasing the capacity of AI as a code maker is security. Who can then control AI? What if AI can generate its own "secret" code for purposes that we don't know about? What if AI could build their own network for purposes far from the reach of the human mind?
This why Flash was such a nice format for some things (not going into the pitfalls of Flash - but in some ways it was fantastic).

I guess these days we have animated SVG, and https://lottiefiles.com/ is getting some traction - but these require you to export in a specific format of course, you can't just convert/trace a bitmap movie with these. And SVG or Lottie aren't designed for longer/streaming vector animations, and they don't carry synchronised or streaming audio - Flash did all of those things.

Vectorisation of bitmap images does have some artifacts, as is evident in the Simpsons demo on this website - when possible, you should export in a vector movie format directly from the vector animation software.

It is kind of depressing that we don't have an open standard for vector movies (with sound), over a decade after Flash was killed. Sometimes it feels like technology stops or moves backwards.
we may be comparing different numbers. i doubt it's that low.

i don't know the specifics in germany, but there is net salary and gross salary, and there are employer contributions beyond gross salary, as well as other costs.

my understanding is that put everything together, the cost per employee is twice the gross salary. this includes cost for equipment, work space and whatever else you need to spend money on to help an employee to do their job.

25% seems very low. it's possibly only the taxes and insurance and related contributions. or maybe denmark calculates the gross salary different?

i searched a few resources and found references ranging from 1.5 to 1.7. so not quite 100%.

here is a swiss example with a compact table.

https://www.runmyaccounts.ch/2013/07/wie-viel-kostet-ein-mit...

this one suggests a cost of 6900 for a 4500 gross salary.

but it also adds hiring a manager per 10 employees and splitting that up among the employees being managed, bringing the cost to 8285.

so yeah, it depends on what numbers we are actually comparing

20 SEK = $2.20
20 NOK = $2.20
2 EUR = $2.29
50 CZK = $2.54
10 HKD = $1.29
2 NZD = $1.31
500JPY = $4.67

That said, other than selling an item second-hand, I haven't used any cash at all since February.

I am with you on that. I grew up on the good old dripper because it was the typical coffee one would drink in France, and moved on to many types of coffee, espresso, nespresso, aeropress, french press, mokka, cold brew stuff, etc. While I don't like their sweet ones, I even like the basic Starbucks americano, and their instant coffee (Via) is on par with a low to medium quality espresso in my opinion, which isn't bad for an instant coffee at all.

I just like coffee.

Wow this is so far off (as someone who works at an e-commerce company). Optimizing a warehouse is incredibly difficult and time consuming and often involves expensive and specialized equipment like sorters. Wayfair for instance STILL has only had like 2 profitable quarters and they specialize in e-commerce and fulfillment. Having your employees go pick things off of shelves and pack them and figure out which truck to go on is not a simple problem.

You simply aren't going to make any money if your business model is having employees physically go manually pick stuff off shelves and package them in boxes and ship them at $10 an hour.

Show HN: Tech-Free Approach to Better Hydration
Hey Stavros. We were looking for a data-store to integrate into a clinical genomics LIMS that supports in-system analysis. We deal with de novo sequenced clinical samples (and not genotyped samples, which seems to be what TileDB-vcf had in mind?). There are some edge cases that TileDB-vcf explicitly disallows (updates/reinserts to the same sample, overlapping variants) that are not edge cases for us but rather common occurrences.
And that's today's at-home experiment with the kid locked in!
I really don't see this as a problem, the current org already has a focus on a product it innovated and the innovator leaving for their own venture allows themselves and fellow risk takers to capture more value for their idea, thus distributing wealth across a broader spectrum. This is how it should be. Had said innovator brought their product to fruition under the current corporate umbrella they would get a bonus and promotion at best. Meanwhile the product would not be the corporations core focus or competency and would most likely be diluted to help push their core product.
Not necessarily. There have been a number of papers trying to emphasize the generalization power of a network rather than "it got a SOTA number", and so leave off fine tuning results. Because that would distract from the point of the paper.

P.S. By saying that I'm not suggesting we should decrease the amount of resources for research, actually the opposite, since misuse is a fraction of the whole process and some discoveries would not be possible without such mistakes. We should increase the amount of resources and more importantly find people who are eager to utilize them for the sake of science, research and development.

For instance in LIGO gravitational wave detector one of PhD students accidentally misconfigured one of the black hole-neutron star merger simulation runs, so that it took months instead of days, but resulted in very detailed simulation, which then was used to study fine details of the observed signals.

Very cool. The rule for class "book" is missing a border-radius as far as I can tell.

Edit: might be nice to only apply it to the right-hand side as the side with the spine is unlikely to have rounded corners.

I have a dedicated 25 EUR/month server from Hetzner that is used for serving video content.

It's a pretty good solution, but not perfect. I have heard that some people have trouble watching content, most likely due to peering between Germany and the US.

There's no transcoding options for the end-users since I'm already hosting 1 TB of content and there's not really room to keep different versions. Mostly not a big deal for my users but it's probably not helping with the connectivity issues.

I've considered other options but there's really nothing that can beat this setup when it comes to price performance. Serving a terabyte of content for 25 euro a month is pretty unbeatable. I recently had a 24 hours period where the server pushed out like 1.06 TB of traffic. This kind of bandwidth would be killing my wallet otherwise. And since this is a non-profit project, I'm eating all of the costs.

I know a couple of people that did just that. With the lowered barrier to entry (free), people have been able to buy say a single share per paycheck instead of having to hold on for months to get a cost effective amount of cash to make it worth the trade. Not only this, but you can effectively dollar cost average your way into the market to minimize losing to bad timing. The trade fees were always absolute and not a percentage so it just never accessible to a lot of people -- and now, a lot of the big discount brokers went to 0-1¢ fees.

> In the US, it's not uncommon to see places only take credit for purchases over $20, especially restaurants.

This must be semi-regional because it's definitely not the case in the Minneapolis area (or the Midwest in general as far as I've seen). Even mom and pop restaurants will gladly take your credit card. If it exists at all, the minimum I've seen is $5, I've never seen a $20 minimum (not saying it doesn't exist, but it's definitely not "common"). Of course, the US is a huge place, so it definitely could be a regional thing.

Netflix is famous for putting as much on AWS as possible. AWS has a desktop as a service offering, so is this competing with AWS, or is it a slightly more complete product built on top of the AWS option?

Edit: in the original blog post linked to from The Register article it seems this is not public. This would lead me to assume that it is in fact running on AWS like most of the rest of Netflix's infrastructure, and that Netflix are providing a useful distribution/configuration/potentially free layer on top. Not to down-play the importance of this, I can see this being really useful for creators.
That would mean that their deploy/release procedure is so brittle that they have frequent outages/problems or expect deploys/releases to introduce issues, so they avoid deploying on Fridays so no one has to work during the weekend.

If that's what you want to do, then a Einzelunternehmen (without Handelsregistereintrag) should be fine and less beaurocratic overhead. Especially for bootstrapping or side-projects it's always useful to have a Gewerbe registered.

As long as you follow the best practices (specifying 0€ expected income in the first year, etc.) and don't try to do any financial trickery, Finanzamt also shouldn't be a problem. However once you start to turn a decent profit (100+k/year) and/or start to hire people, you will be required to do more bookkeeping anyway, at which point it makes sense to found a GmbH (or even two layered ones).
