Yep. Frequency Therapeutics could make a tremendous medical breakthrough here. But some caution is warranted, even in light of their promising human trials: cochlear cell regeneration and subsequent hearing restoration is observed in reptiles and birds, so there is reason to believe that they can coax mammalian ears to do the same thing, but it may not be as generalizable a result across the human body. But damn will people start trying mightily if it succeeds in the ears. That said, even simply finding a cure for sensorineural hearing loss is nothing short of perhaps one of the top 10 medical breakthroughs in the last 50 years if you look at the cost to society and prevalence of it.
64% of Americans say social media have a mostly negative effect on the U.S.
Yes, Buildroot comes with a bunch of configs you can use to build images that run on x86_64 and qemu.

'make list-defconfigs' will list everything that is available

The A/B update thing typically works by having two disk partitions and then using your boot loader to switch between them and only updating one or the other. You can probably write a u-boot script to track failed boots and switch between images or something like that though I've never ventured down that road.
Yes, maybe 4 times per year. Probably should do it more. I receive BCC'ed mail more frequently, but that frequency should be higher. There should probably be a feature in Outlook that stops and asks "Are you sure?" and makes you wait 30 seconds when replying-all to anything more than 10 people. Maybe the wait should be 1 second per recipient.
Smells of opportunity to me.
does that page (which I seem unable to authenticate and edit) have a mistake, when mentioning the dental morphology of "Canidae" when "Felidae" was intended?
Totally.

I relocated to Colorado a decade ago, swallowing the cost of living salary decreases, but I'm coming out better in terms of quality of life. If California, for a split second, achieved even close to the affordability for quality of life as CO, I would move back.
Also, some of the numbers don't seem that big in context. But this situation is 7 million years - plenty of time for evolution to make lots of changes! It just doesn't seem like that big of a gap when we talk about hundreds of millions of years.

The scale is astonishing.

Where my choice I would use Fedora, for work I use Ubuntu. Both work on a lot, sometimes both have problems with Bluetooth. if you want to run docker on Fedora you have to do a little extra work and disable some security features.
Virtually all of these devices void warranty. The trick of course is to put the original ECU back in before any service where it would be noticed, however unlikely.
Mostly because modern F1 is more less about driving and more about optimzing fuel consumption, tyre wear, pitstop strategy and KERS. The driver is merely a pilot doing what is instructed over the radio, unlike the V12 , V10 era where the driver had more autonomy.
> Sometimes the difference between libellous and a critical statement protecting the public is purely the difference of the statement being true or not.

Or whether the person making the statement knew that it was false at the time (or should have known). That won't protect the statement from being libelous, but it limits your maximum liability to actual damages that you can show (which in many cases is only going to be the lawyer fees; in the case of a widely repeated libelous statements, how do you determine what harm came from which sites?).

> This is not something a moderator is necessarily in a position to be able to judge

I would make that a harder statement. Moderators cannot tell whether a certain post is libelous. Even assuming that the moderator knows whether the post is factually true or not (and there are a lot of accusations where, when they come out, no one knows for sure who is telling the truth), whether it's libelous depends on whether the person in question is considered a public figure, and whether the person that posted it did enough fact checking to be deemed sufficient in attempting to prove or disprove it. The only person that can determine whether the person being defamed is a public figure, and whether the burden to verify the facts was met, is a judge with jurisdiction over the case. Anything else is just people guessing at how a judge would interpret this case, which is fraught with problems, including and up to that two judges who have jurisdiction would disagree on some facet of that.
My guess is that as technology progresses, engineers are going to become the "main drivers of success" for many other industries as well: the airline industry, the automobile industry (self-driving cars) and so on.
how much does this have to do w/ Activision layoffs?

At our company, people use it when they send all-staff messages. The all-staff group address goes in the BCC and the person usually puts themself in the To address. This cuts down on the useless Reply All "thank you" and "me too" messages going back to all staff. There are other ways to prevent that, but this has been one of the few legitimate and above-board uses of BCC that I have come across.
I mean this in the most respectful way: Can someone please explain the allure of watching F1 race on TV? I honestly sat down with a few friends and we watched Kimi Raikonnen but it was not a lot of action in terms of overtaking and drama - it was mostly inching forward and making time. I fully understand and appreciate the amount of skills that go into driving an F1 car, but what is in for the spectator?
> I'm not sure where you got the impression that problems such as $300 million in fabricated sales, or $5 billion in undisclosed debt which were missed in audits is an issue with external scrutiny.

I am missing results for Favipiravir that was the most promising of them all. For some reason WHO didn't include it in their test at the beginning nor at any later point of time. Almost one year later still no news?!

Also, why don't the governments just distribute elderly and weak vitamin D and zinc to take everyday? There's not much harm that can be done with those and could potentially offset lack of sunlight that might have kept COVID-19 in check during the summer. A low-risk low-cost solution that could potentially yield enormous health and economic benefits if the link between vitamin D and zinc deficiency on the severe outcome of COVID-19 is proved later.
Not sure, but theoretically it's precise enough to measure the time dilation caused by the gravitational field of a baseball. Pretty mind-blowing.

This hasn't been my experience with our twin toddlers and 5 year old. What they like is all over the place. We don't force or bribe them to eat anything - we put their options on their plate (usually around 4 things) and let them eat whatever they want. Everything they eat my wife and I eat, and we don't make things we don't like to eat.

Usually only around half of what we serve them will be eaten by all 3 kids. What they don't eat I generally eat for lunch the next day.

There are also some completely random habits. Take asparagus for example. One toddler won't eat the tips.

A planck time is 10E-44, a Zeptosecond is 10E-21 so 10E23 - the zeptosecond is further from a planck time than from a second (logarithmically).
Let's talk about the 'same car' thing.

The cars are from the same engineering firm.

They are setup by different teams of people, worked on by different teams of people, and maintained by different teams of people. There is overlap, of course, but the cars' basically have their own groups individually for specific tuning/troubleshooting/telemetrics.

If you think Valteri is getting the best and fastest crew to work on his car, the question turns into "Why would Mercedes use their best and brightest on their second in points?"

The point is : there isn't a handicapped car per se, but one of the two teams that gravitate around the drivers' is better at it's job -- thus, one of the cars has an edge.

It's a simple concept, but it has to be true. Mercedes can't simply clone their driver-centric teams over and stamp them to both sides -- so they have to prioritize their better driver having the faster team with more skill and better communication.

Sucks for Valteri, but as we've seen race after race -- he gets by just fine.

Not enough evidence for what? Quote:

"The evidence is admittedly incomplete for all the steps in COVID-19 microdroplet transmission, but it is similarly incomplete for the large droplet and fomite modes of transmission. The airborne transmission mechanism operates in parallel with the large droplet and fomite routes [16] that are now the basis of guidance."

By using arbitrarily high standards for evidence, I might as well claim there's no evidence that COVID is transmitted by large droplets or by smear infection. Where's the randomized trial that proves beyond any doubt that coughing in each other's faces will spread COVID?
> Chinese is partially phonetic

That's not true in any meaningful way, as far as I know. I took several years of Mandarin courses, and there were exactly zero times I was able to guess a pronunciation from a radical... and I'd learned 1,000+ characters by that point.

Perhaps that's true in some areas of technical vocabulary? Or there are a handful of examples that have the same pronunciation. But I'm pretty sure that trying to guess a pronunciation from a radical, you'd be wrong 99% of the time.
Doesn't SV also have a significant chunk of the biotech industry? Even if software departs doesn't mean other forms of high-tech, with talent and research funneled in by Stanford, Berkeley, etc. will follow suit.

I did an experiment with this. When my daughters were around 4 and 6 I introduced them to Shproti, a small canned fish, as a desert. I would only let them eat it on special occasions, and only if they were well behaved. For probably five years they would reject ice cream in favour of these canned fish if given the chance.

I do not know who broke to them the secret, but now the little one does not like them anymore. The older still eats the fish with me, but of course no longer as a desert.
I feel I should point out that I don't consider "Frankensteinian abomination held together by MacGuyver implements and wishful thinking" to be a insult, as long as it's a well-designed Frankensteinian abomination held together by MacGuyver implements and wishful thinking. I worry that may not have been clear from my previous comment.
As an anti capitalist (who has taken a fair bit of flak on this board for it for obvious reasons), that sounds intriguing. As a road trip enthusiast, that sounds either:

- terrifying: finding services in far flung places could be nearly impossible

- likely to recreate both of the problems I’d want it to address in potentially more harmful ways: for road safety, it means discovering services would depend even more on electronic devices inside the vehicle and further from the safe driving field of vision; for profit opportunism preying on drivers’ eyes, it consolidates the market much further than it already is, and with even greater harmful incentive
> Certainly the idea that a score somehow has more information in it than a midi recording is ridiculous

A midi file is designed to contain different kinds of information than a score, so it can absolutely contain less information (of a certain kind) than a score.

Imagine a group of notes that are attacked very close together in time in a midi file - is it meant to be a chord played without arpeggiation? A chord arpeggiated as fast as possible? A chord arpeggiated to a specific tempo?

When a composer writes (say) a chord with an arpeggiation sign next to it, it specifies that the notes are to be played in a certain order, and quickly. There are multiple possible performances that comply with this "specification". MIDI cannot encode this information (the information being the set of acceptable performances).

Excel suffers from being accessible to "everyone", and having a low barrier of entry.

While I'm not an auditor, I've been the go-to Excel person at all my internships and in full time roles. I've reviewed, enhanced, and fixed hundreds for tons of different functions (HR, supply chain, manufacturing production reporting). You can build a respectable system in Excel which has built in error flags that make it obvious to the end user. Here are some of my tips for people who deal with spreadsheets:

* Cell styles, much like headings in Word, are really great but nobody uses them. They clue end users about what cells do. If my end users see an orange cell, they know it's an input they can modify.

* Lock sheets, even without a password. 90% of the time will prevent people from breaking the spreadsheet in the first case.

* Stay up on new functions! =Unique, filter, sort, Switch, textjoin, and {sum|average|min|max}ifs have been added in the last ~18 months and can greatly clean up messy formulas.

* Document stuff like code should be documented. The Explanatory Text style is excellent for more in depth explanations but not visually clogging things up.

* Use tables. Name the tables. =Average(tbl_Production[Widgets Produced]) is self documenting, and the range expands with the table. Range references are notoriously obtuse.

Yes. I don't know what you're expecting under a "small tax" burden. Did you want that tax burden to be 10x? Besides companies are still going to want to buy their own accounting services to avoid the hassle and cost of resubmission, or penalty (if you're going with an early-punitive measure).

If your goal is to increase the power of the accountancy industrial complex I suppose your strategy is a good one.

This is a great article explaining very clearly why I think it's a very bad idea to take outside funding. The author certainly had outside stress including cancer and what sounds like an unprofitable company, but an area he spends a lot of time on and shares a full letter for is a nightmare board member he had to deal with.

Also if your company is not profitable and successful at a small size, why would you try and make it a hell of a lot larger? That is all VC funding does. It doesn't suddenly magically make your bad idea a good one.

What I said was "there was an effort to do so from someone outside of her campaign - but the questions that were provided were not the ones asked, so.... It's false to say she received some debate questions in advance."

Was there dishonesty from the DNC? Yes! But it's important to say what happened. Someone did a bad job of trying to supply her with a couple of questions. Instead the only thing they managed to provide her was a hint about two of the subjects that would be discussed. So to the point I responded to - Did she "receive some debate questions ahead of time" - nope! She didn't! Just some things that were close.

Did that give her an unfair advantage? Maybe! But I doubt it - if Bernie's campaign didn't expect a question about the Flint water issue, then they're idiots. And I don't think they're idiots. The help offered to Hillary was inaccurate and of dubious worth.
Well, there are rules around defamation, libel and slander. But you're right, there's no laws saying one cannot guilt trip someone else or shame them for their behavior even if they are acting legally.

I think this is me criticizing those same "social norms". In my opinion, it is unfair to guilt trip someone or have hidden expectations when someone does a good deed for you. Especially when you decided to do the deed on your own and you went and promoted it for others to benefit and use.

Obviously it's nice when you do something and others thank you and acknowledge you for it. But it isn't nice when someone complains they're not getting a thank you for something they choose to do willingly and weren't asked to do.

Now I reckon here it's a bit different, because we're talking about two actors of very uneven footing, and I would like to see Amazon being more thankful and recognising the hard work of open source contributors. I agree with that sentiment. I just wanted to say that in general, yes those social norms are often against what I'd consider a free society, since they are just another axis of power to force you into behaviors you might not have agreed to participate in.

Wow. This must feel like a huge fuck-you to people that migrated to Atlassian because they could host things locally (I worked at a place that made the leap 3 years ago and it was a somewhat controversial decision. I feel kinda bad for everyone that'll be hearing an "I told you so" on Monday morning).

Not only is the product being killed, they're raising the price during the migration period. Their FAQ also hints that even more price increases are coming. I imagine they'll lose a lot of customers that can't or won't send all of their data into the cloud
Nah, the reality is that it's very easy to figure out who's accountable for any specific project. While it may not be clear who is in charge of a firm as a whole, that is not the case at the project level. Every project/audit must be signed off on by a partner, and that partner is the responsible party for any and all firm activity that happens on that project/audit.

The water gets muddied because that partner may not actually be involved in the project very much, and in controversial situations they may try to blame someone else (such as a lower level firm employee who was involved) for any mistakes, but at the end of the day the partner who signed their name to the contract is the person held accountable.
Why do you suppose the only way user content can possibly be shared on the Internet is through content aggregation sites? I am suggesting this is a blindspot we've all fallen into that may have created the monsters we are now fighting to protect.

> Your extremely short sighted position

I am getting this a lot in this comment section so far. I mean, hey we should all be thick-skinned, right? My disagreement with your conclusions or predictions of what would happen doesn't mean I suffer from myopia and it isn't very polite to suggest otherwise.

Central aggregation of user generated content isn't the only possible mechanism to do anything on the Internet. Removing the legal protections for aggregators may slow growth and make it significantly more difficult to centrally aggregate content, but that might actually be a good thing.
>I mean this in the most respectful way: Can someone please explain the allure of watching F1 race on TV?

I watch it because I drive/drove race cars. I love auto-racing. I love the noise, the personalities, and most importantly the cars.

I can't answer your question, really. If there isn't any draw to watch it, you probably just don't enjoy it. No shame in that.

I don't really understand why people watch football/basketball/soccer; but I understand why I don't get it -- I have no interest in the sports.

My father watches the Tour de France every year. He was an extremely in-depth established cyclist for years and years.

When I watch the Tour with him, I fall asleep. He falls asleep if I put him through auto-racing.

I think it's the same kind of thing.

If it's any consolation : your problem is a widespread one. The FIA is trying to make it more spectator-interesting next year by establishing a big wall of rule changes.
McMaster is a truly amazing company. Their prices are higher than a local hardware store but on par with other industrial suppliers. What makes McMaster amazing is the breadth of product and speed of delivery. In San Diego if I place an order for network patch cables, toilet valves, asphalt paint, and a hydraulic pump by 11am I will have it by end of business day. The site workflow is also great. Filtering is quick and easy even if you don’t know the name of what you are looking for. You can call them 24/7 and get a human that responds. When I call I don’t give them my name or shipping address. Part numbers, quantity, and PO# and your done. It’s a 45 second phone call. I place probably 3-5 orders a day on the site and I am still blown away every single time.
