I have to say that I'm somewhat surprised by the negative comments on brainstorming here. Perhaps people have only been in crappy meetings which are superficially called brainstorms but are really excuses for a manager to ram their ideas through?

In my experience, a good brainstorming session will usually result in a few useful ideas. It's too easy to get stuck with a limited set of solutions while trying to solve design or engineering problems if you just go off on your own and think about it. Certainly there are types of problem solving which need dedicated heads-down focus, but when you're at the stage where you're trying to make major architectural decisions, it's way too easy to jump to the first thing which makes sense to you and not consider enough alternatives.

There's definitely an art to running a good brainstorm meeting. You can search for various brainstorm rules or ideas, but a few which have been helpful:

1. Sometimes it can be good with a complex topic to assign a little homework where participants bring in a few ideas, samples, props, or bits of research to the meeting. If this isn't practical, a 5-10 minute quiet study session at the beginning of the meeting can help.

2. Letting people sketch out a bunch of ideas on post-its for 5 minutes in silence and then going around the room to share the ideas can help avoid the tendency of some people to dominate the meeting, and others to never share anything. It's also helpful if your group is too large for a more free flowing sharing pattern (more than 5-8 people).

3. A warm up throw-away exercise can be useful with teams that aren't used to brainstorming or brainstorming together.

4. If anyone's ever stuck, asking the simple question of what is the opposite of something can break that brain freeze. There may not be a literal opposite, but the general concept can help people turn problems upside-down or inside-out or what ever needs to happen to free up your thinking.

5. Always try to get some people who aren't deeply embedded in the project/problem to help shake up the thinking.
No doubt, and separate organs with (sometimes rough, sometimes very clear) separate functions are also a thing, so evolution seems to favor compartmentalization for more complex systems. But that does not mean that there are not complex overarching interactions that make full understanding really hard. The sort of interactions you would stay away from when designing a computer, not because it would not work, but because it would make design, debugging, and iteration upon your system prohibitively hard.

I backed the Librem 5 and I have a Pinephone on order.

Yet I can comfortably say that I don't care one bit about "Linux phones".

I want a handheld Linux computer, and it just so happens that these attempts to make "phones" are the closest approximation.

But if there was a mobile Linux distro that did not waste development time on features like calling, SMS or camera, and hardware that used the space wasted by camera, receiver etc for additional battery capacity, I would most certainly buy that.

I'm happy to use an Android or iOS device as a smartphone. I want a pocketable computer to do things those devices cannot (or rather: refuse to) let me do.

I can see AT&T's world headquarters compound of four skyscrapers and a gaudy 60 foot jumbotron they installed last year from my bedroom window. I'm looking at it right now. They still don't offer fiber at all at my address. Fastest I can get is 10 mbps down.

Broadband is a joke absolutely everywhere in this country, not just rural.

I guess AT&T doesn't even service its own world headquarters?
It's not whataboutism at all. I am genuinely curious, why now and why Amazon? People did not just decide to start peeing in bottles when working for Amazon, it has been happening long before.
Some people go to church for answers, but I think a lot are really just there for the community and play along with the religious parts because of inertia.
No, I'm saying they should see all the information both sides have. Are you in favor of suppressing information on either side?
"The One Best Way" is a great book on the subject.

why not just tell them your min?
Perhaps I can rephrase it. Psychiatrists are aware of multiple organic causes for depressive symptoms and would prefer to treat the causes, not just the symptoms. It's not accurate to say that a psychiatrist would be expected to simply prescribe an antidepressant without some additional investigation.
I like spotlight for simple things, my Swissmicro DM42 for more complex things.

That said Numi and some of the alternatives do look nice.
That article pretty decisively refutes your idea that the furin cleavage site cannot come from evolution and implies a bioweapons research project. You can try to split hairs, but your argument is wrong.
Ok but Visa doesn't need any of that. That's my point. I re-read the article like 4 times looking for an answer to my question, and there isn't one. There's no reason Visa would do this - there's nothing in it for them - other than to look hip.
I honestly don't believe that choosing to pee in a bottle while driving for delivery constitutes "awful working conditions".
Seems okay. Though, the controller is Windows only?
They are indeed available. You can go to Chandler, download the app and hail a ride. There’s nothing suspicious about it and r/selfdrivingcars will tell you it’s possible too.
An advertisement for a company’s products on the login page is one thing - but a full on banner in the interface itself (with apparently no way to disable) is another.

Sticking with Mikrotik for now.
I wouldn't say that religion caused these ills. Religion was used to justify these ills.
You have the right practical mindset, and it might have something to do with your degree choice. People that pick psychology aren't going to have their head in their clouds and aren't doing DS for prestige reasons - DS is more a means to an end instead of an end itself. You're also trained only in fairly simple, mostly linear models, which helps.

There's an even more extreme type to the one I outlined. This type of DS dislikes data engineering and dislikes applied modelling.

They prefer to sit in an armchair and think about modelling, writing up a LaTeX document with abstract and overcomplicated math formula.

I met one DS like this who was from a theoretical physics background and his years of operating in this mode couldn't be shaken off.
> As mentioned before I don't want him in the driving seat of FSF, but at the same time I don't think he should be cancelled from the Internet.

What do you think this discussion is about? Nobody wants that he cannot access the internet or that he cannot publish on his own website.

but people protest that he is a public front member of the FSF.
Lambda uses containers vs. cloudflare workers use v8 isolates. v8 Isolates are much much faster and more secure for serverless functions.

Deno seems to be targeting cloudflare as a competitor for their service... But it's probable that AWS will release a cloudflare worker competitor themselves if deno continues with the MIT license.
The blackmore lidar startup that aurora recently acquired was a spinout from an active sensing defense company. Additionally a lot of the precision guided munitions make heavy use of active sensing. For a lot of military applications they are fine with active sensing because there isn't a concern about people knowing where they are the concern is getting the job done and collecting as much data as possible.

The last paragraph goes:

> In other recent banktech and wealthtech news, SoFi will offer its users the ability to invest in IPOs for companies going public, the digital lender announced on Friday. Typically, these opportunities are reserved for institutional investors. SoFi expects to offer a couple of IPO securities in the months ahead that will be available for its "SoFi Invest members through the SoFi app."

Well played SoFi.
Interesting. The only damaged deliveries I’ve ever received happened when someone sent me something fragile via Canada Post. It seems that when it arrived at the post office, they carefully took the broken box and all the leaked-out bits, put the whole assemblage into another, larger box, printed a new shipping label for the larger box, and shipped it on. So I received a clean, sturdy outer box, containing some detritus and a redundantly-labelled inner box, in turn containing the rest of my shipment. (I assume, if something in the inner box had been a liquid and leaked out through the box, they’d have put the whole inner box in a plastic bag before putting that in a box.)

Making that the general approach would probably solve the automation problem pretty cleanly. You could even have broken-package-packaging robots at each cargo-unloading step!
I don't think the two are compatible. For example if running a self-driving taxi service is viable and profitable then Google will be doing everything in its power to corner the market, rather than also selling the tech to Uber & Lyft and competing with them.
I tried EnGenius a few years ago and had no end of problems with them. Switched to Ubiquiti and they've been rock solid ever since. I really, really hope Ubiquiti isn't going down hill.
My opinion is based on this generally being a thing that delivery drivers choose to do. It has been true of long-haul truckers for quite some time (many of them would even take Meth just so they could drive longer and log more miles).

What Stallman said in 2019, and how the media has mischaracterised that, is largely beside the point in the current kerfuffle.

What's problematic is that Stallman has resumed a role at the FSF without any community input. Paying FSF members and associates didn't get a say in the matter; it was presented as a _fait accompli_.

The wider free software movement is being badly served by the current FSF leadership. The FSF's governance process is secretive, undemocratic and no longer fit for purpose.

There's a very good quality discussion about that on the FLOSS Weekly podcast episode 622[1] from 20:40 which deserves more attention than it seems to have received.

That's SGML tag inference at work (theoretically at least, since browsers have HTML parsing rules hardcoded). SGML knows, by the DOCTYPE declaration, that the document must start with an "html" element, so it infers it if it isn't there. Next, by the content model declared for the "html" element (normally obtained via the ugly public identifier that sibling comments complain about), a "head" element is expected, so SGML infers it as well if it's declared omissible, and so on.
I use it when I need to be really productive on projects and tasks where there are a lot of little things to accomplish and lots of little details to keep track of. My procrastination kicks in when I finish a task and "deserve a break" then I have trouble getting into the mindset of starting the next task. So for me a project that requires doing lots of small tasks that take 20 to 40 minutes to finish is the worst case scenario. I find the pomodoro technique is super valuable when trying to get through something like that.

It's less useful for me when there's a big feature to code and all I need to do is start pumping out code.
Time to go research replacements for my network equipment. Ew, why would they do that?
Right... and you have the Windows-1252 versus iso-8859-1 situation, which only differ in that the former puts printable characters where the latter has C1 control codes.

Of course your code is a library so you have the library author's prerogative to punt that problem to the users :)
> Why should learning Latin and then French be any faster than Spanish->French ?

Indeed. I'm French, and I can basically read (not too literary) Italian, Spanish and Portuguese. Latin, not so much. I have been told by locutors of these languages that the Italian/Spanish gap is even narrower.
The discovery of the alternate route by "everyone else" means that the roads are now in more usage.

Unless the bridge collapse resulted in increased traffic levels afterwards, the same traffic that used to go over I85 is now distributed over 2 routes.

While there's a net negative to you, it's likely that a lot of people ended up saving time on their routes.
Looks like it’s desktop only. On mobile I had to toggle on ‘Request desktop site’ to see the ships scrolling across the top of the search results.

Cute Easter egg lol
Hey all, we're a small team of ex-Facebook engineers. We want to bring some of our favorite data/developer tools that we used at Facebook to everyone. Our goal is to help developers ship code faster using feature gates to decouple dependencies, realtime targeted config to reduce code churn, and experiments to validate features in production.

This is our first preview, and we have Feature Gates, Dynamic Config, and Event Logging, all accessible via our SDKs in JS, Node & Swift. We would love your feedback. Up next, we are building feature-launch based insights and metrics debugging, which we hope to ship in the next few weeks.
Thank you, that is exactly my point. The claim that had been going around was warehouse workers doing it, but now we see that it is delivery drivers. My point is that all manner of long-haul delivery drivers choose to do this, not just those that work for Amazon.
Using Ubuntu because it was the easiest to setup back in the days. Canonical even used to send boxes of free CDs if you promised that you'll distribute them.
Genuine question...Can you have an illegal strike without slavery?

I didn't think a strike was a legal (having to do with the law) action?
> I'm fairly supportive of RMS and his movement but are you seriously failing to see why someone who is not "woke" might have a problem with somebody playing apologetics for their friend for committing statutory rape?

What apologetics are there here?

What is there to apologize for? Sex with a physically mature person male or female who proffers themselves voluntarily is not considered rape in any social settings. The fact that the "rape" has to be prefixed by "statutory" only shows that it is not rape in the colloquial sense. There is nothing to defend in regards to such an opinion.

"Statutory rape" with a consenting 17 year old is like "gay marriage". It may be a statutory definition, but marriage means "matrimony" such as Christian "Holy matrimony" to a lot of people and for them "gay marriage" is simply an oxymoron. Statute is not the sole arbiter of morality.

You are simply demanding that people conform to moral sensibilities which are not universally hled.

Consider the concept of trying juveniles as an adult. How many people who consider that there is no such thing as consensual sex with a 17 year old ever object to the concept of trying the same juveniles as adults? Apparently teenagers are mature enough to be tried as adults when it suits them and immature youths being preyed upon by older people when it doesn't.

If Victoria Giuffre had a normal life which did not involve being pimped by wealthy socialites and committed a cold calculated murder at the age of 17 would any of the people yelling "statutory rape" object if she was tried as an adult?

The very same society which yells statutory rape is the very same one which applauds and fetes entertainment stars like Beyonce, Rihanna, Ariana Grande etc, singing saucy lyrics and gyrating to preteens and feigns shock when the very same girls engage in those acts with adults. Why the double standards?

Offending sensibilities is not a crime. It is actions that constitute crime and whether he has different opinions on sex with legal minors and has no objections to necrophilia does not necessarily mean an interest or commitment to participating in them.

Many American Muslims in believe in Islamic teachings on homosexuality, sex with in minors and a whole load of edicts which are objectionable by contemporary human rights standards, even if they don't act on them.

How many of the people offended by RMS has ever confronted American Muslims who hold such beliefs?

I used to be a regular reader of Lapham's. Back then they'd more or less present folks' words without any comment _except_ the implicit comment of the other pieces in the magazine. Considering that https://www.laphamsquarterly.org/technology/technical-error is also present in the issue I'd say they've kept this structure up.
You have no idea what was in the mind of the driver, but you're passing pretty strong judgement.

> Plus it's absolutely disgusting.

This is what it really comes down to - your victorian sensibilities about bodily fluids can't possibly imagine that anyone would gasp OMG pee in a bottle! unless the alternative is starvation or whippings.

There are plenty of people who don't feel this way. Hell, I'm sitting outside with a flush toilet less than 100 ft from me and I just pissed on a tree instead. It's just piss.
I'm not sure this is actually that good of an explanation. Europe has much lower levels of church attendance and doesn't have heavily partisan politics.
This is what it was smart for the Catholic church to have to issues with evolution. Maintaining a strict creationist stance just gets sillier and sillier over time.

I think astrology is the new religion taking over the world. So many people I know are into it right now, it's unbelievable. All explain-everything religions tend to end up incompatible with modern life if there isn't a nation state or compact community to support them. Astrology has less broad claims on explaining how the world works but seems to provide a lazy framework to think about people, to explain "Why are people doing what they do"? In this sense we really live in a post modern world : No grand narrative seems to be taking root any more.
Maybe:

I am very much an exploration type gamer and I rather liked the game. However, my expectations weren't as sky high as yours and I'm deeply impressed by the style of the game and also by the facial expressions of the characters (and their, yes, scripted walking around, drinking etc.). Nonetheless, I wouldn't recommend the game neither unless you adore the style as much as I do (I think the core gameplay is rather typical of AAA in that you have your big city and simply do your quests and fighting). My main gripe is the honestly quite bad dialog where simply nothing of interest is told (they are always talking about their feelings but not really telling their stories, it annoys me extremely).

Actually, I mostly reply to you because I don't quite get why you're such a fan of elder scrolls with regard to exploration and their slogan of "living there": At least Oblivion and Skyrim (last I played, dunno how the online game stacks up) were in a way very much level-designed in that there were no real surprises regarding what type of enemy came (scaling) or what kind of rewards would come (e.g. always a chest at the end of a dungeon with clearly defined types of things that could drop). It felt very much not like a breathing world. I miss Morrowind (also levitating!).
It’s cargo cult copying of places like Oracle where the “how much it costs” depends on “who is asking” and “how much revenue do you have”.
The sequence can be changed and optimized for several reasons:

* There are untranslated regions (UTR) that could influence the regulation or stability of the mRNA.

* Since most amino acids are encoded by more than codon, the coding region for the spike protein can be codon optimized. Altering the codon composition can improve protein expression.

* Likewise, enrichment of G:C content in the mRNA sequence might result in increased mRNA and expressed protein yields in vivo.

See https://www.nature.com/articles/nrd.2017.243#Sec4 for more information.

Edit:

> Do both of these sequences express the same protein?

In this case both vaccines express exactly the same amino acid sequence.

> Or is there a "close enough!" thing in the immune system, where it can be a little different and still be targeted by the immune system?

It depends on how different the sequence is. For instance, if it is a little different the immune response should be very similar because, for example, the three-dimensional conformation of the spike protein chain should remain very similar as well. This is why the vaccines can be effective against several SARS-CoV2 variants.
Give it time. Once these bands become more utilized, and more hardware gets pumped into the system, this bandwidth allocation for hams will shrink just like it has in every other band. They'll find any reason to reduce these allocations in favor of some industrial monopoly that may or may not even use what it takes (cf. UPS).
Or they may join a band, or choir, or local sporting team, or organize/join an event on meetup. While some of these may be political they are often much less political than a church.
Heh. Technically, there isn't even GATTACA in there since it's RNA and hence all the T's are actually U's. It's just convention to use the T's. GAUUACA doesn't have the same ring to it.
This kind of statement needs some serious citations.
