Yes, and why were the shutdowns done? If you compare what happens with uncontrolled covid spread to a those of a flu season, they aren’t really all that similar. Even with the lockdowns, the deaths have been considerably more than tens of thousands.
When you entangle the particles, you have a copy of it. You then send _the clone particle_ over a mean (like fiber optics, if its a photon). Please note that you send the actual cloned particle, not information about it. Think about a cloned Heisenberg cat. You have to send the actual box with the cat inside.

So now you have two copies of the same particle in two different locations.

Now the tricky (and useless part): you DESTROY the first box. Was the cat dead or alive before you destroy it?

If it was dead, you kill the cloned cat.
If it was alive, you let the cloned cat live.

So now, congratulations, you have teleported the cat just as it really was when you first cloned it.

Obviously this is a gross approximation, but the central idea is that quantum teleportation let you clone and transport a particle, but you have to find a way to capture it's state and send it encoded in light or whatever method you prefer (fax?).

UPDATE: The cat belonged to Schrödinger, actually.
So, I heard an interesting solution to the scalper price problem, where suppliers are unable to raise prices.

What Nvidia could do is sell a special "doctors without border's edition" version of their graphics card, that is 500$ more expensive, and the extra money is donated.

That way, the extra money goes to charity instead of the scalpers, and nobody can really complain about it, because what do you hate charity?
For every person who dies of COVID, nineteen people are hospitalized. Eighteen of those will have permanent heart damage. Ten will have permanent lung damage. Three will have strokes. Two will have neurological damage leading to permanent muscular disability. Two will have neurological damage leading to cognitive impairment.

Don't be afraid of covid killing you. Be afraid of it turning you into a mentally disabled cripple who can't catch his breath until you die of heart failure twenty years before your time.

Edit: Oh and just for kicks, there's recent evidence it causes erectile dysfunction too.
CAF is often used for properties that is theirs, and was bought with valid money, under the ""suspicion"" that the property was used for illegal things.

One case that is an example is a waitress who stored their tips in a jar at home getting all of it seized because 15 years ago she had a marijuana possession charge while in college (which was likely why she's a waitress in the first place (but thats another issue)).

Or people losing their cars because they got lost and drove down a "red light street" twice so they must clearly be looking for street workers.

Not to mention states that border vegas seizing winnings of anybody they can pull over who decided to cash all or part of their winnings in hard cash and make the mistake of letting hte officer see it. (for the meme of it mostly)
I don't fully understand GTK's direction.

On the Linux side, gnome is becoming more and more of a dependency for GTK.

On the other end, they're extending support on non-Linux systems.

These just seem like opposite directions to me.
Deploy Kubernetes in Kubernetes Using Helm
It's wildly off topic, but yeah I want that too.
There is no "transmission." When you measure you learn the state of one of the particles, and you can use that information to deduce the state of the other (which until measurement is indeterminate). You can see that this information is useless unless communicated classically.
I prefer "we don't track you around the entire internet, just our site" to "we track you around the whole internet." That's frequently the ad tracking tradeoff. Plus ad tracking is just so egregiously one sided in the loss of privacy for the user for minuscule user benefit and large tracker benefit.
One of the biggest gripes I have with the current state of equity for employees is that it's treated like compensation while not being legally protected like compensation.

A concrete example. I was courted by a company a couple of years ago to join their engineering team and I was pretty set on joining the company until I spoke with a former employee who told me that this company had reneged on giving him the option to purchase his ISOs because they didn't like that he was leaving after two years.

That's completely unacceptable behavior for a company, and it completely changed the way I look at equity. A company can't come at for my already-cashed paychecks, but they can absolutely prevent me from purchasing my options for pretty much any reason.
I believe I saw on Reddit a post that attempted to map all the dialogue/in game decision options, and found that 98% of choices ended up not mattering. Only 2% of player-choice decided which ending (of the 5) you got.

edit To rephrase, I don't even think it's about the endings at all. Most of the choices in the game do not actual change the trajectory of your character. Most of the decisions put you on the same track. Kill steve, don't kill steve, even if it seems like it mattered to some part of the story, it actually did not.
I was one of those people up until around a couple years ago. Now I don't even know what I thought was such a big deal. The Jetbrains Toolbox makes it really simple to launch and update the individual IDEs.

My employer pays for the ultimate license, but I will absolutely pay for it once I move on.
When people make these bets, they are betting against the oddsmakers. So all of the Trump supporters betting that he would win, especially _after_ the election and it was clear he lost, were basically giving the house their money.
People who make playing games part of their identity seem to be an overwrought bunch. Very hard to relate to their emotional response.
If they stopped updating League of Legends, then in 20 years it would be dead. Chess is here to stay for ages to come.
RSUs are taxed like income though, so from a tax perspective it’s pretty awful. Being early at a startup with options that you early exercise has far superior tax benefits.
What about Cloudflare? I thought they were really using a lot of rust, but maybe that was just because you joined for a time!
It depends on the number of applications. If the number of applications is unmanageable, then credentials can be a useful first filter.

This is also why the SAT/ACT is still important in college admissions: they get a lot of applications, and they need to filter out some applicants to make it more manageable.
Btw, can anyone link to some good Statistics focused blogs? I would like to find out more of those that I can follow

Why is "not entirely altruistic" a good measurement? Nobody is saying that's what their motivation is, so isn't yours a criticism of purity, or the nirvana fallacy? Like 50 people have replied to this red herring!
A few workarounds spring to mind:

1. Run challenge trials, but don't pay participants in money. Talk up the danger and risk, and publicize the heroism of the people who volunteer. Make a spectacle of it. If you ask for fifty heroes, is there any doubt that you'd get them?

2. Pay participants, but impose a minimum price they need to be paid in order to assuage people's squeamishness. That hypothetical guy in sub-Saharan Africa might be exploited at $10, but if he's getting paid $1,000,000 then he has practically won the lottery.

Either of these would be a big improvement over the status quo, where challenge trials aren't run at all and countless people die because of it.

Huh? Defunding the police doesn't change whether they are shielded by laws. Did you imagine the parent comment was describing "defund the police" meaning no more police and only having private security companies? That's not how I read it.
We need technological solutions for this problem, not new international laws or, holding nations accountable and so on. Nations, including the US, will always try to exploit weaknesses in computer infrastructure. We need a fundamental rethink of the technical underpinnings of the internet. Such as air-gapped systems, or something that is physically isolated from foreign access.

So for example, in order to access a critical government system you need a dedicated, physical wire running to your computer. This may mean no access from home and that's fine.
I think this was more a joke about superpositions than "anything can happen"

Read the history section of the rna vaccine wiki: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/RNA_vaccine

You’re right, we’ve understood that this could be done for a long time. Not quite the 70s, but.. at least the 90s. But believing something is possible and knowing how to do it are different:

1989 - injected rna maybe goes into cells

1990 - proof injected rna creates proteins

1994 - proof injected rna creates immune responses

Then:

“2005 they published a joint paper that solved one of the key technical barriers by using modified nucleosides to get mRNA inside human cells without setting off the body's defense system”

That kicked off a ton of research, but:

“Up until 2020, these mRNA biotech companies had poor results testing mRNA drugs for cardiovascular, metabolic and renal diseases; selected targets for cancer; and rare diseases like Crigler–Najjar syndrome”

But why did they spend from 2005 to 2020 working on mRNA drugs and not vaccines? Capitalism. Vaccines are not generally profitable (take once, you’re done) - so vaccines are not an appealing target for a startup with investors wanting big returns.

> How do I share the page I'm on without sharing the amp link. It's an extra 2 clicks and heavily obfuscated.

What are you talking about?

At least on iOS Safari, I can use the regular browser share button (1 click) and it shares the regular (non-AMP) URL.

AMP also provides a share button of its own in the upper-right hand corner (also 1 click) that brings up the identical iOS share sheet, again a non-AMP URL.

So sharing works perfectly at least on iOS. Zero obfuscation, zero extra clicks. Is it different on Android or something?
I probably spent even less time passing Discrete Math 2 at WGU. However, that was largely because I had fully embraced that I would never graduate from a university and had to learn on my own, so the year prior I had read some books on proofs, probability, and statistics. I have notes and flashcards, I really studied, never expecting school credit. I had also encountered combinatorics and such in grade school and other math classes over the years. Discrete Math always seemed like "programmer's math" to me, in contrast to Calculus, and being a programmer it felt easier.

We don't know a lot about what the author was doing outside of school, but we know he was serious about self improvement - he wasn't just putting in hours at work and collecting a paycheck. It sounds like he's completed some impressive programming projects, he attends meetups, keeps a blog, uses Linux, hates Windows, learned to like Windows anyway, ported a Windows UI library to Android and iOS, speaks multiple languages, has attended multiple universities in the past, etc. I think there is a good chance that "he already [knew] most of it".
True. My last statement should have been split into two separate proposals:
1.) Better legal/financial support for cooperative business models (the laws on the books are prohibitive for capital intensive projects).
2.) Revising the NLRA to allow competition among multiple unions for representation. Right to work laws are too far on this issue but unions should not simply exist as a monopoly, they should have to have some incentive to earn their members.
Interesting. This was, essentially, one of the goals of Stadia---consolidating the software and computation centrally should allow the Stadia version to run on whatever hardware is necessary to make it run well.
In principle I agree, but in practice don't think this leads to great results. Naming things well is really cognitively challenging. The human brain is naturally lazy and easily makes excuses to avoid thinking hard.

When something like this is adopted, the average person will look at something then quickly throw up their hands and declare that they can't name it without really trying. Many things can be named well, but it takes 60 seconds of hard thought and focus to realize it.
I sort of agree with you. A better title/approach would have been "These aren't DRY, they're silly 'no common code' bigotry". I find the article resonates because I've seen all of these anti-patterns defended with "because DRY". I agree, it's not DRY; but so many people get stuck on the "no code duplication" part. I'm not sure if the "This isn't DRY" is the best fight or "Sometimes DRY is not the best".

My favourite block of "DRY" code was a method that had a triple nested loop (for all object A, for all objects A.B, for all objects B.C) with a bunch of flags (like 15 different bools, ints, dates and arrays) that changed the ORM filters for A, for A->B, for B->C, and then changed what operations were done on A, B, C. Basically, at the end, the only similarity was the foreach part. The comment on the block of code had "Keep this loop together for DRY", as if they knew this was going wrong but not sure why. It ended up being 3 or 4 much simpler methods, based as you say, on requirements NOT code "shape".
I don't know if you're shilling this guy or drank too much of his kool aid but it's still blind to the reality of the situation seen across the entire world. You're talking about your 'equation', which is not the same equation other people are subjected to.
Nothing like the comment section to snap you back to reality.
Yes, of course is possible. This is a question with open definitions, there are dynamic languages with memory safety that can be as fast as Rust (or native code in general) in some cases. Also you could say that Go itself is mostly memory and can be as fast as Rust.
People always reference No Man's Sky and praise the state it eventually made it to, but even that updated state was not the game that was promised and hyped pre-release.

Some of the "missing features" were eventually implemented, but MANY were not. Instead, they pivoted into implementing different things that were not part of that initial hype cycle, and implemented enough of them that they hoped people would forget about what the game was originally claimed to be.

And apparently it worked, because people always talk about how No Man's Sky got "fixed" without acknowledging that huge, major chunks of that initial promise were never in fact developed.
Thought it'd be appropriate to plug what we're working on here. We're a YC company (W19) are building an iOS browser that's extensible. You can build "extensions" to inject your own JS into pages if they match a certain condition.

We're still beta testing (and launching early next year) but you can get the browser testflight beta from here https://insightbrowser.com/ and the AMP disabling extension here http://share.insightbrowser.com/8

> Any companies that offer ISOs without at least a ten year exercise window is just spitting in your face

I would love to do it at my company.

I've reached out to our lawyers a couple years ago to set it up, and our lawyers strongly pressured us to stick with standard terms (3 months), because from the legal side, things get messy with long excercise windows (I don't remember the exact issues, but could probably dig them up).

A simple solution is to not include stock options in how you value your comp package when going to work at a small company.

As a founder, I offer stock options when I make job offers, but we never hype it up as if they are guaranteed to be worth anything in the near term. I sometimes tell candidates straight out "you can look at them like lottery tickets". I would absolutely not hire someone if they say something like "The salary is too low, but that's ok, the stock options will make up for it" - I would immediately correct them and educate them on how stock options work and the inherent risk so they can make an informed decision.

There are definitely other founders who hype the value of stock options. When that happens, it's not OK and I see where your frustration is coming from. But not all founders are evil people trying to spit in your face.
Didn't go through the CS program as they announced it a month after I finished my Bachelor in Software Development but I thought it was a pretty good program. Definitely planning on going back for a Master's when the time is right.
I don't think that Intel producing the iPhone chip was ever likely to happen - sure Jobs had to ask Intel as a courtesy for a partner but it was never realistic.

- Arm has dominated low power / mobile segment from well before the iPhone due to its superior power consumption;

- The non Arm IP (eg Imagination GPU) was also important and it was unlikely that Intel would have been integrated that on their SoCs.

I had an Atom tablet from the time when Intel supposedly had competitive mobile SoCs and it really wasn't a great device - ran hot and very short battery life.
> Bit early to call it a trend

Disagree.

These programs, from the President's perspective, are as autonomous as the machines. Barely any interaction, if any, is required from the W.H. to keep the bombs dropping.
You could fix it by paying! :D
is that legal? if they issued you options... you have the "option" to purchase them?
I get this in theory, but there are also tax implications here, and it requires a lot of extra effort. I am not trying to excuse companies from not doing this, but its not as easy as just saying you will.
Options are typically ISOs, but by law, you have a max of 90 days to exercise an ISO after you leave. The only way around this is to instead offer NSOs, which have higher tax implications.
Third, you could offer ISO's, then convert them into NSOs when you leave, but its a lot of extra effort and paperwork.
Because the parent appears to have been downvoted (as of this writing), I'd just like to point out that according to the site FAQ, their question is perfectly acceptable on HN.

Looks like the signup does much more than just offer a demo to play with. Looks like upon signup, you are given free reign to play with the current iteration of the product and all (or at least a lot) of the features. Smooth workflow thus far.
I think RNAs are great as a cell therapy. Not necessarily mRNAs, but other ncRNAs which can be used to silence enhancers. This would be great for many diseases.

mRNAs are great as a vaccine to trigger an anti-cancer response, combined with checkpoint inhibitors. The big challenge is to choose a good personalized mix of peptides (encoded as mRNAs) in a way that scales to thousands of patients.

For a language to reach the compilation speed of Go, it must have been designed with that goal in mind from the start.

The best Rust can hope for is to make it largely irrelevant during dev by doing fine grained incremental compilation.

Unrelated to the post but it's hard to trust a wealth management company offering a "Financial OS" which has no team page nor any Google-able profiles on AngelList or Crunchbase.

"incorporating DNA sequences into patients’ cells" is a wildly more dramatic approach than temporarily tricking a number of cells into manufacturing some protein with mRNA.

I don't think they compete much at all right now:

Carta primarily sells software to companies to manage their cap table. They're adding financial products, but all company-facing.

Depends. If you were high profile, you might be more concerned about the means.

For example, you might feel secure on your remote island retreat with its own airfield, security system, etc.

That any nut (not "Government") with a drone carrying an IED could surgically take you out would very likely worry that individual much more than it would worry you or me.
I read the story differently. It seems like WGU splits two problems (teaching material and verifying that the students learned material) into two different problems. It's not that the author crammed weeks of learning into hours, it's that the author _already knew all the same material from years of experience with it_, and just needed someone to help him verify "Yes, this person understands this material." I would love to see more universities who are happy to verify people's learning, instead of pretending there's only one way to learn the material.

The objection you raise seems more relevant to bootcamps, which claim to teach one how to program in a matter of weeks. After a few weeks, students might be able to get by, but they aren't going to be on par with people who have been working through some of this stuff for several years.
You know, I was like "I know I am forgetting some major stuff" but couldn't put my finger on it, and yes, that is absolutely one of the things I've been forgetting.

They are using quite a bit of Rust:

* The 1.1.1.1 app's core is in Rust (this is one of the most prominent, if not most prominent, usages of Rust on iOS/Android)

* Their HTTP/3 implementation is in Rust (I am very excited about this one, personally)

* Workers has multiple parts; the CLI, HTMLRewriter... (This was related to the team I worked on, so I have a soft spot for it)

... and probably more that I'm forgetting.

Honestly, it's really nice that there's so much Rust these days that it's easy to forget all of the cool stuff. And there's a lot that I'd consider meaningful that may or may not be "large," so I was shooting for only the largest. 1Password and Discord are huge for me, but maybe others don't think so.
