I again completely agree with you

Looking back at my reply, I think I should have added a bit of background to clarify my comment

My master's degree is in bioinformatics and I worked in the biotech industry until about a year ago. I mainly worked as a consultant for top 20 pharma companies, but also did work on different in-house projects and in academia

From my experience in the industry, I find it very unlikely that the software mentioned in the article is structured in a modular way. I've yet to see good software practices outside one or two academic projects. Most pharma companies still use copying and renaming folders as version control. Naturally I'm sceptical of any code coming from the biotech industry

On top of that, it's written in MATLAB. I have only ever seen this used by statisticians and university researchers, never by software engineers

I'm therefore willing to bet, that when the reviewers open the source code, they'll find unstructured mess of spaghetti code, that has never been refactored, reviewed or tested

So yes - I agree in all your points, but I find it unlikely that they're being applied to this particular project
also, if new vaccines are required, you have to assume that 65+ won't go back up the front again.
Sounds a bit Black Mirror Complex. People were complaining about being treated as resources since the industrial revolution - and before then serfs knew that they were resources! More power than governments, seriously? The only time I have seen that rhetoric come up is complete fucking morons complaining about encryption and wanting to outlaw math.
Yes, barring any major setbacks, I'm optimistic that by late summer I will be able to get a vaccine without going through major gyrations. (And, in practice, I'll try to get one earlier rather than later even if it's still a bit of a hassle.)

IMHO, the search bar should always be present at the top of the page. Probably should also have a link to the actual IMDB page. Given that you're using IMDB data do you not have to mention that?
That makes sense. I'd much rather use your interface than the A/B nightmare of IMDB.
> Most people aren't looking for an investment vehicle, a replacement for USD, a way to challenge central banks, or a way to perform zero-trust financial transactions.

I agree with you, and I am a "invest in a well-balanced mutual fund and retire in comfort" sort of person, not at all the target audience for bitcoin.

Still, even an explanation of why it had the potential to replace USD or challenge the central banks would have been interesting. No one seemed to go further than "because I said so"

Honestly I've yet to meet anyone who wants to take down central banking who seems to have the faintest idea how banking works.
Yeah, we've got beach traffic on the states, too. If I know people, the tunnel will still full up, and everyone will still complain about it.

It needs to be enough information so that it can be either remedied (if the violation is real) or disputed (if it isn't).

I agree that currently, "you violated the ToS" is legally enough reason and enough information. I don't think it should be.

I also don't think we want the fight against bots and spam to justify taking inscrutable actions against real customers.
To be fair, in earlier times it wasn't clear if software was copyrightable. In the US the Copyright Act of 1976, which became effective on January 1, 1978, clearly stated that Congress intended software to be copyrightable; before that there were many questions. So before that, in the US many considered any source code distribution as equivalent to a permissive license.

Unix v6 source was well distributed, but the Lyons book (with Unix source code)) was only distributed as Samizdat for years because it wasn't clear it was legal.
The parent is referring to a valid concern that with repeated doses (like from a subsequent booster), the mild antigenicity of the vector virus itself can be a problem. The Oxford vaccine uses a Chimpanzee adenovirus, which can infect human cells but not replicate inside them. There after delivering the vaccine payload, over time the protein coat of the vector will be chopped up and presented to the immune system, as are all cellular proteins. As you are unlikely to have been previously infected with a chimp adenovirus, it should elicit not much of an immune response, but the body will see it as foreign and start raising antibodies against the adenovirus proteins (adenoviruses have their own versions of "spike" proteins, among others). Of course, we would expect most of the immune response would be against the corona spike payload, but some fraction would inevitably be for the adenovirus as well.

When you get your second dose, you already have some antibodies against chimp adenovirus, which will potentially destroy some of the vector before it has a chance to be taken up by your cells. Third or fourth booster shots against coronavirus variants using the same chimp adenovirus vector would trigger worse reactions, destroying some portion of the vector before the payload can be delivered. The Russian Sputnik vaccine tries to reduce this likelihood by using different adenovirus vectors for each dose.
I feel like it is optimistic to think that we will be allowed to live our lives the pre pandemic way. These new strains will be trotted out as a good excuse to keep these restrictions around much longer.
The secretary problem says that once you pass on a CV you cannot go back and latter decide you want that person. I don't think that is a restriction that exists in real life hiring.

It is possible to review all the CVs and then decide which one to pick.
Yes, the author is assuming for the sake of argument that salary is dictated by talent. But if talent is distributed on a normal distribution and compensation is fat-tailed, that might mean that there is a non-linear relation between talent and compensation, or it might mean that other factors entirely are at play. My guess is that the compensation graph shown is skewed by the presence of executive salaries, which have been shown to be uncorrelated to corporate financial performance, suggesting talent is not a significant factor at the fat end of the distribution; more likely, the fat tail is a social network effect. To be fair, the author concedes this possibility in a footnote.
If you wanted to tax richer over poor, this is not an efficient way to do it at all.

It is also a pretty distortive tax, and it creates smuggling, robbery, and disproportionally punishes those that consume those products and are also on the poorer spectrum.
While we here in America worry about whether work-from-home will stick around after the pandemic, the French worry if being allowed to eat as their desks is going to stick around.

if you're a chase/amex/discover customer, by all means use their free service. I particularly like the amex one that lets you do hypothetical projections. I can't recommend experian though. I just made an account with them out of curiosity, and since then I have received emails from them pretty much every day trying to upsell me on their (worthless, as far as I can tell) "premium" features. the website itself is full of dark patterns trying to make the same upsell.

Interestingly there's an area of psychology called Naturalistic Decision Making which studies how experts make decisions that they can't explain. (Example: a firefighter may be able to pinpoint where a fire is before they enter a house and see it.)
I think you are missing the trust-factor inherent in Bitcoin and related cryptocurrencies. If you pay me 1 coin, I trust that you have the coin to spend because of collective verifications from other nodes in the network which confirm the same.

Similarly once you spend that coin with me, others may trust that I now have that coin to spend because of the same collective verification structure.

Offline transactions eliminate such trust capabilities due to the lack of transaction and balance verification.
Well, first you put out a job ad. Then because the psych people are so numerous, you'll be inundated with resumes. Since you don't know what to really look for, you decide that an AI from some company will help out with that. So you use an AI to hire people to get rid of the AI, except in the case where you hire people to get rid of the AI, because you don't know how to hire those people. ;)

Interesting that both Gitlab and Github had issues today - coincidence? Maybe Bitbucket will be next!
Intelligence or height is a spectrum too, yet we can probably explore existence of such genes. You just need to think in probabilities.
> Do you not see the pitfalls of the MLM structure of Bitcoin

I guess not, as I don't see Bitcoin as any MLM scheme. You seem confused regarding how the price is set for Bitcoin. It doesn't automatically increase the more people are using Bitcoin. It's entirely set by the open market of what people want to buy/sell Bitcoin for, nothing else.

For it to be a MLM, current holders of Bitcoin would have to receive Bitcoin for each new person who gets/uses Bitcoin, which is clearly not the case.

Most if not all of the early holders/investors/users of Bitcoin did so because it was fun. None of us expected the price to even go above $1. Sure, it's cool that it did, but the goal was always being able to transfer funds without limitations, not to speculate on the "final" value of Bitcoin.

And yes, people who hold stocks/funds/cryptocurrencies usually talk positively about them. Not only because they probably put money in them in the first place because they believe in them, but also because it's beneficial for them if the price goes up.

This is hardly anything to do with MLM, which if you did some brief reading on MLMs and Bitcoin, you'd soon realize.
Important to note that there isn't just Gay and Straight, but more often people exist somewhere in between. That's why we have bisexual and pansexual people.
I thought they determined already it was a hormone released in the womb during pregnancy, similar to left-handedness. That’s how you can get identical twins, but one is straight and the other is gay.
We are free and open source and support more AWS and Google services (https://www.infracost.io/docs/supported_resources).

We also fit in with existing toolsets - we think it’s important that users don’t need to change their workflow, so we integrate with different ways of running Terraform (Terragrunt, Terraform Cloud) different source control systems (GitHub, GitLab, etc) and CI/CD systems (Atlantis, CircleCI).

We also have additional features, like the ability to specify resource usage (for data transfer and Lambda, etc) and generate HTML and JSON reports so it can be integrated into your own systems.
I can't tell if your post is sarcasm or not. Look at Apple, or any other large tech company. Hoarding billions in cash. Business lives to suck up any dollar possible and refuses to spend unless absolutely necessary because they are scared of risk or loss. They find their niche and that's it. Notice how there's no more research divisions in companies anymore? Like old school ATT.

Playing Devil's advocate, a probe that size would likely visit many star systems, the Solar being a random one in the bunch. The brief pass would be necessary to avoid the energy expenditure of braking and reaccelerating.
> You could replicate everything it does trivially with most basic features of Photoshop, or even Paint.NET

Not harping on you, but this is “Dropbox is just CVS and ssh-copy, trivial” line of thinking.

I have Paint.Net AND a complete Adobe CC subscription, but opt to use Canva for almost all my lighter editing. The selling point is nice looking templates that are context-aware - if you want to pull in more element they will match what’s on screen.

I’m usually done faster in Canva than loading Photoshop would’ve taken
Forced arbitration is against French law. Google cannot force you to go to a specific company for arbitration (that, conveniently enough, happens to always rule in their favor). It has to be explicitly negotiated between the two parties. This also holds true for companies. It has to be explicitly negotatied.
Re 2), the technology's application are very very few, I think. I haven't really seen any except BTC itself, which is pretty bad at being money. That leads to it being "a store of value", and therefore

Manipulating speculation on any asset isn't what I'm referencing there. I'm specifically talking about manipulating the supply.

Yes, this study indicates that human sexuality is a trait more complex than many other aspects of humans, i.e. height, eye color, hair color, skin color, etc.
Not if it is recessive. Example with a recessive "gay gene":
Both parent have one normal allele and one "gay" allele. The repartition of the offspring will be:

- 25% both normal alleles (normal phenotype)
- 50% one normal allele (normal phenotype)
- 25% both gay alleles (gay phenotype)

But homosexuality is not a gene. I believe that the [fetal androgen exposure theory](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prenatal_hormones_and_sexual_o...) is the one currently preferred.
I really like Nano, the whitepaper is pretty easy to read, they seem reasonably good and sending money is instant (sub-second). Pretty great for a currency that's meant to be used, rather than hoarded.

A common analogy here is that in lots of insects, you see whole groups of non-reproductive members, and yet the idea of a "non-reproductive worker insect" hasn't "evolved into extinction."

(I'm not commenting on whether being gay has a genetic basis or whether it's an example of kin selection, because honestly, I have no idea.)

Presumably becquse that lab/software gave them the answer they were looking for.

Why pay for even more lab/software testing when you've already got what you want (especially when it's a possibility that the additional testing will contradict the first)?

>If you don't use a language at all, your proficiency atrophies over time as well.

I don't think it's quite comparable. I was fluent in German more than a decade ago. I've not really used it since. It's difficult for me to speak or write in it, because I simply can't think of the words - I'll remember them in English instead. However, if I listen to German or read German text then I have no trouble understanding it.

This same thing did not happen with exercise for me. The strength I once had is gone.
I think you are overdoing it, what OP clearly had in mind is that we all have the capacity for harm, yet not all humans are locked up simply because of this potential. I sure do have capacity to easily kill a fellow human in various ways, so does everybody I know and presumably so do you. There are multiple reasons why this capacity is never utilized, but that's another topic.

You are arguing few steps further about a person who realized this capacity and what society does to them.

I don't read much more into that.
> Dogs, regardless of size are safe to coexist with humans provided they are treated appropriately from a sustenance and behavior/training perspective.

Debatable...

"In 1994, the most recent year for which published data are available, an estimated 4.7 million dog bites occurred in the United States, and approximately 799,700 persons required medical care (1). Of an estimated 333,700 patients treated for dog bites in emergency departments (EDs) in 1994 (2), approximately 6,000 (1.8%) were hospitalized (3)."

There is also the 'beneficial sibling' theory where a homosexual sibling improves the reproductive success of their siblings/close family via being able to devote more energy to their siblings offspring instead of their own or are able to gather/utilize more resources that leads to a familial advantage.
This would be evidence of your argument then.
I wonder if there is an equivalent political thing for the blind or for the partially vision impaired. I've only read or heard about these kind of divides (e.g. rejecting fixes for the condition, argument about whether it is an impairment) when it comes to hearing.
I wish it wasn't true, but the path we're headed down is pretty much set now.

I can't help feeling that the habit of removing identifying markers (names, ages, etc) from resumes to try to ensure equality in hiring is also part of the same ill-fated direction.

I dearly wish that the world I was leaving my kids wasn't so dehumanised.
I'd say your name pans out, that seems pretty bold to me.
If recessive, you'd expect the wild type and 'gay' alleles to be in Hardy Weinberg Equilibrium. However, this obviously isn't the case.

This paper looks really clever, and I'd like to read it. Just a thought about something that jumped off the page at me on a once-over:

> Imagine someone wants to illegally track the position (and implicitely the time spent) by someone into a laboratory [...]

The legality of analyzing WiFi frames is a bit orthogonal to this. Analyzing these packets (in my book) is fair game. It's no different than youtube-dl -- if you send me the data, you can't forbid me from saving it for personal use, or analyzing it.

If you transmit something, and don't want it to be analyzed, the data must be end-to-end encrypted. I don't like the idea of "protecting" such data with a law that says, "this data is illegal to look at".

It might persevere through kin selection. For siblings who share the gene, such an individual would have all the benefits of a male/female (security, hunting, care-giving), but none of the mating competition. One could argue if such a gene existed, it would be quite an altruistic one.
I have mixed feelings about this. The only time I block on my calendar now is my lunch.

Years ago I would block 2 hours in the morning and 2 hours in the afternoon to "work" but as I progressed my "work" began to shift, from just building things to talking to customers and then eventually to talking to everyone, which means my day went from 0-1 meeting per day, to 1-2 + 3-5 phone calls with customers, to eventually 4-8 meetings per day and my production of software diminished to almost nil. It was basically meetings all day (which I honestly didn't mind, so long as they provided food over my lunch break).

Now I'm in a more development focused role, where I have almost no meetings, but I'm usually doing 1:1 with manager for 4-6 hours per day over the phone. So I get less done, but it is expected as "we aren't just hurling code, we are building software". So I get the equivalent of between 0-2 hours of software development done each day.
Trends in Atmospheric Methane
Well, considering Google announced they're shutting down all internal development on Google Stadia games, and now they're locking people out of developer accounts, guess it's safe to say that once again, Google can't be trusted to follow through with their products and need to be taken with extreme skepticism on any and all future endeavors.

I didn't think for a moment this might be successful, especially when it stumbled out of the gate, because Google is so bad at sticking with projects that don't immediately do gangbusters.

Even still, it looks like the plug is being pulled faster than I anticipated.

Honest question: what is being gay?
Is it physical attraction?
Emotional attraction?
Both?
Is it dislike, fear(?) of opposite sex?
Here's the thing people need to realize: your email address, phone number, and any other digital identifier can be stripped and taken from you by whoever owns the service at any time. It doesn't matter if you host your own domain/mailer daemon, the host and/or registrar can choose to suspend your account as well. So really, there is no solution. Other than the realization that our communications channels are not ours, they are always someone else's, and we are forever at their mercy.
A lot of the musings I've seen in this direction have been along the lines of

(1) some people are bisexual and thus would occasionally reproduce and

(2) if sexuality promotes "togetherness" and "group cohesion", then having "our gay uncle who 'has connections' and is always willing to help out the family group" is still beneficial for the family unit and thus a gay gene would not be selected against within that family lineage.

Probably not a majority of the population, but there's no reason for such a "gay gene" (if it were to exist) to be driven to zero.
