Wow, I was not aware of the real quotes. Here are the two full clips:

- On HIV and PCR: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V__Zx0qS7uI&t=101s
- On Fauci and PCR: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5aISPlTLbJo

> Reporter: .... misuse PCR to estimate all these so supposedly free viral RNAs that may or may not be there?

> Kary Mullis: I think misused PCR is not quite ... I don't think you can misuse PCR. No, the results, the interpretation of it. See if you can say, if they wanted, if they could find this virus in you at all, and with PCR if you do it well you can find almost anything in anybody. It starts making you believe in the, sort of buddhist notion, that everything is contained in everything else. Right, I mean because if you can amplify one single molecule up to to something that you can really measure which PCR can do, then there's just very few molecules that you don't have at least one single one of them in your body. Okay, so that could be thought of as a misuse of it just to claim that it's meaningful. It is, there's very little of what they call HIV and what's been brought out here by Phil ... the measurement for it is not exact at all, it's not it's not as good as our measurement for things like apples. An apple is an apple. You know, you can get something that's kind of like, if you've got enough things that look kind of like an apple you stick them all together you might think it as an apple. And HIV is like that. Those tests are all based on things that are invisible, and they are the results are inferred in a sense. PCR is separate from that, it's just a process that's used to make a whole lot of something out of something that's why it's not, it doesn't tell you that you're sick and it doesn't tell you that the thing you ended up with really was going to hurt you or anything like that.

UWaterloo student plagiarized projects and falsified resume to get internships
Years ago, systems was the general purpose CS degree. I guess it is/was classical CS. Today, there are many specialties (data, security, algorithms, etc.), but many top-ranked CS schools still offer a traditional systems degree.
I guess I'm also old, weird, and out of touch :) I cannot begin to describe the annoyance I experience with filling in forms on a mobile device, especially if I'm hunting for a good deal `to -> from` and need to keep going back and slightly modifying my search params.

Phones just aren't good at this use-case.

Being (very) cynical, the only reason they're providing a mobile app is because of all the data they harvest (https://www.hopper.com/legal/privacy-policy/).
The seedy airbnbs by the drinking areas have been making money hand over fist this pandemic among the "refuse to subscribe to reality" crowd, which has been empowered over the last few years.

Apples to oranges but I'll take the bait. Chemo's risks are well studied and known. Is a long discussion with a patient to understand all the risks/rewards. X-rays risks are so negligible it's not worth discussing. This was a oh crap, we don't know what's happening and we're doing this to millions of people a day.
Yeah. And since they're being approximate, they might as well just write 10⁻¹⁸ of the earth's mass. That and 9 × 10⁻¹⁹ are within ± 12% of each other.
I agree, I was only meaning to add context to that other comment.
I would like to believe that. It seems like the logical thing given the provided rationales. However, the cynical view is also worth examining.

When has government willingly relinquished emergency powers?
But the flu has always been here, even when our country was significantly less populated, when we were significantly more rural, and when people were significantly less connected in many ways. Like, how did we get flu pandemics in the 1700s? Weren't we less connected back then, even after you account for all the social distancing that was done this year?
The Rust developers don't have the power to enforce a license – that's up to courts.
They're metropolitan area codes (https://en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Metropolitan_area_airport_cod...). They're not consistently useful across sites because different sites connect to different backends (GDS) that may or may not accept them, but it's nice if you consistently use a site that does. Back when Hipmunk was alive QSF was useful to me because it used Sabre as the GDS and would translate it as {SFO, OAK, SJC}. Other sites would show you an airport in Algeria.

Edit: I should note that you should be careful when using these - at least once I accidentally booked a ticket that left from SFO and returned to SJC.
I have dairy allergy and all I can say is that I am so happy that these products are getting better and better.
Where I live (Europe) there are a lot of different ones available and quite a few are on the level of a cheap normal cheese.

But in the end: at least it’s something.
No I mean that a user either has access to the database or not. If they do, you check access prior to the query. I think you're doing something related to row level permissions within a database.

And ultimately "Implementing side-channel secure row level security in a database" is a completely independent problem from "abstract authz checker, which is what zanzibar is. You might build a row level security infra atop zanzibar, but you'd probably do that within your database engine, with zanzibar serving as some sort of authz primitive.

Until just a few years ago international train tickets were valid for two weeks. That was really useful, since as long as you travels towards a destination you could get quite cheap tickets for tours through Germany or Europe with multiple stops.

It's also important to understand the situation you are in - if you are the second CSU dev you got some extra due diligence to do. This is the real world, it's not fair.
I'd be vegan if not for cheese, so I hope they can catch up with the beef replacements (which I am 100% happy with at this point). IMO they're not there yet, but are getting closer.
Sure!

I was just adding context to the other comment with my own. I've no qualms with whomever spending money on whatever language they choose.

Unless it's VB. Yuck.
Yeah, that kinda bothered me too.

Even fairly small changes can be significant with exponential feedback loops. That’s not to say they actually had any impact, just that you can’t always tell what was important.

For example it’s possible but unlikely that some other pandemic was accidentally prevented.
No chance. I see enough people breaking social distancing rules to ensure that goal is a pipe dream.
The reason for the name seems to be because of its focus on
systems. I do agree that the way it's labeled isn't the
best, but it's not trying to be representative of all Computer Scionce.

In fact, it seems to specifically be trying to have a
different focus than a cs degree:

Leaving aside for a moment the morality of eating meat and dairy - is there actually any (health) benefit to the heavily (and I mean heavily) processed dairy alternatives compared to just eating regular cheese?
Restarting Spring Boot Applications
I've been playing the demo for a few hours a week over the past month. Any game that gets me to restart on the second level not because I'm dieing but because I think to myself, "No, I can do better than this," is a winner in my book. Also, if I've derived more fun from this demo than I have from many other $30 and $60 games, so I'm already leaving towards paying for the full game.

I understand what you mean about the day job thing. I got about 60% of the way through Shenzhen before walking away. Fortunately, I'm not a chip-designer, so hopefully that horizon is farther away with Factorio.

> How do they measure such things?

By have a sophisticated surveillance network and testing people. To quote from the above page, there have been 931,726 specimens collected since 9/2020, and only 0.2% have been positive.

Compare that number to the previous season (13.0%):

Interesting, I've never (knowingly) been a part of an epidemiological survey like that.

Having powerful machines would be one thing. I really implore you to try using a low end machine for a while and see how bad the web is. I currently use a 4gb 2015 MacBook Air and i often see Discord and other websites-masquerading-as-apps hogging upwards of 2 gigs of ram which is inexcusable. I can hardly believe that animations would contribute to lag (or perceived lag) especially because we can see a lot of completely native apps that have these "micro-interactions" and still feel fast and responsive.

On the other hand Ripcord, an alternate client for Slack and Discord sits at 50mb of RAM and single digit CPU usage.
I'll believe it when I see it. Every American development like this is a massive money hole.
Its not apples and oranges, you presented the oath as an absolute and now you are talking about risk analysis and some harms being dismissible.
My takeaway is that (ignoring holidays) negative events make Twitter more unhappy than positive events make it happy. Yet another reason I'm not on Twitter!
I had a co-worker, whom I miss every time Nano comes up. He strongly preferred Nano, but not in an annoying way. He’d go through all our documentation and change ‘vi’ to ‘nano’, just because he could. He reasoned that anyone could use Nano if required, but vi could get a little weird at times.
In the province I'm familiar with the Provincial government has canceled all testing for the common Flu unless your in the hospital. This is being misconstrued as the flu disappearing in my province which is obviously true because it's not being test for.

It's not being tested for because they are prioritizing COVID-19 testing, unless your hospitalized.
Austin, TX has laws dictating certain views of the state capitol building are not to be blocked. Personally I don't have an issue with it, there's still plenty of other views to block so the real estate people should be happy, but probably not land owners who would earn a lot more for their land if the laws didn't exist.
I think this is the sort of thing that is very obvious if you are already comfortable with neural networks and the FFT. But if you're only comfortable with neural networks, and the FFT feels like arcane magic, this exercise might be very instructive.
In nano the equivalent command (as keystrokes) would be:
'^\' (or 'M-R') to enter 'replace' mode
<search term> (M-R to toggle 'regex' mode on off)
<replacement>
'A' to 'replace all' (or you can replace interactively)

And if you really want to shave off the extra 2 keystrokes for the 'M-R' toggle and 'A' option, you can always create a new macro in your config file that does just that.
Those with a million in a brokerage account, i.e. the solid middle class

Found the SV bubble resident. :-) One can do a quick search and select from any number of sources that basically say, "a million bucks in a brokerage account means you're not middle-class anymore". Tone I read most often is that not only is the middle-class shrinking, it is burdened by debt, not capital gains taxes.
I had some bad experiences early on with vegan cheese substitutes, so I wrote them off years ago.

Recently I was eating my "standard" sandwich order from a local restaurant. It actually tasted so much better than normal that I asked if they had changed anything, only to find out that they had used their vegan cheese substitute by mistake.

I'll be giving these cheese substitutes another shot in the future!
A Five-Step Guide for Conducting Exploratory Data Analysis
Kayak and Google flights do this
Excluding massive biological changes (we're not going to start carrying more water or drastically increasing bone density), you gain weight by adding muscle or fat. Adding muscle is generally healthy (not in the case of heart disease, organ growth from steroid abuse, etc.) and also very hard. Adding fat is very easy. It would incredible if our population was adding a substantial amount of lean body mass.

Are there any other causes you could think of that would cause a BMI increase across a sufficiently large data set that would not be caused by fat?
CSAPP is like the theory behind low-level (C/C++/etc) programming. This is more like a sketch of the concepts behind operating systems. CSAPP is also much longer and more technical. Where they overlap CSAPP is going to be much more complete.

Which brands have you tried? There's a wild diversity, and I suspect even with dairy cheeses you could try many kinds and think it's "missing" something (compared to another type of cheese, or even the same cheese from a different producer)

For example, a (dairy) farmer's cheese is going to be completely different from a blue cheese, which is completely different from a sharp cheddar. Each of those is "missing" something compared to the others. Quality vegan cheeses often try to mimic characteristics of different kinds of dairy cheeses, and often come very close. For some kinds of cheese, people actually find them indistinguishable from the classic dairy versions; for example, if you tried 5 kinds of Blue Cheese, you'd likely find differences between them, and might not even be able to identify which one was vegan.
Every fall, winter and spring, I was able to watch as colds and the flu spread around indoors. People would be chastised for staying home with "the sniffles", too.
I can think of one counterargument to your list of people arguing for/against things they have a stake in...

Homosexuality.

It's such a common thing for people that are extremely vocal against homosexuality to end up being found having a same-sex affair, that I start to assume anybody who is extremely homophobic is actually just a deeply-closeted gay.

It's definitely not cheese, but as a picnic cheese/crackers situation I actually might like it more than a cheese version.
Hmm, we changed the title to "The Vegan Cheese Renaissance" (a phrase from the article) in keeping with the site guideline: "Please use the original title, unless it is misleading or linkbait". But "renaissance" seems to be baity in its own right, so I've taken another crack at it above - now using language from the subheading.
Sure, this is definitely an "eating your seed corn" sort of situation. And it's definitely very asymmetric at Google - a senior director outside of MTV definitely has to come to meet people in Mountain View from time to time. A senior director in MTV just expects everyone to come to them.
Just before the pandemic, I was thinking about how cheese was made from milk and how soy milk could (with the right extras) be a pretty decent milk substitute, and wondered if you could make a cheese alternative by applying the milk-to-cheese process to soy milk.

Then I realised this already exists and is called “tofu”.

The smoked tofu I find around Berlin is pretty good even cold, tastes similar to some smoked hard cheeses, and works in sandwiches. I’ve not even considered trying it on pizza though.

The lack of Flu infections in the population that did not contract COVID cannot be explained by viral interference. Viral interference would only explain a decreased influenza infection rate among those exposed to COVID.

Neuron spiking isn't rate encoded, it's temporal encoded. Ie. the distance from the next expected regular interval is the signal, not the spiking interval itself.

I don't see anything here beyond "neural networks generalize linear operators." (But of course they're more interesting for nonlinear applications)

I think neutral nets are such a generalized thing that tons of stuff can be shown to map to them. I saw a talk once about evolution being equivalent to neural networks: consider a genome as a set of neuron weights, and your iterative refinement as new generations in evolution. Maybe there's something deep there, but maybe if you make your model arbitrarily complicated enough you can make it look like any system you want. Which is the whole idea with neural nets.

Not all vegan cheeses are heavily processed, the cashew based type mentioned in the article tends to be not processed more than a normal cheese would be.
I am sorry that reality doesn’t line up with your preconceived notions so you feel the need to lash out with name calling etc.

I eat a number of different vegan meat substitutes and they're all fine but vegan cheese is still much, much further from the real thing. That said, I Don't think cheese needs to be a huge part of anyone's diet, so simply reducing your intake is fine.
FWIW, fingerprint login has never worked for my elderly parents. The combination of drier skin, shaky fingers, and poorer sense of pressure means they could never get it quite right. (And on iPhone, always ended up pressing the home button.)

Actually I think this is a very good point you're raising. Maybe the kernel community has a whole should consider a way of checking their processes. Now randomly submitting buggy patches is probably not the right way, but there very well might be some interesting research (on the processes) that could be done. So maybe a document that laid out what would be acceptable and what not could be helpful.
I don't think taxes are a major factor in US immigration, considering the slightly lower taxes are offset by far higher healthcare costs.

This is a really interesting question that gets at the heart of service federation.

I don't know the answer for Zanzibar, but take a look at how AWS IAM solves it. IAM has very few strong opinions in its model of the world (essentially it divides the world into AWS account ID namespaces and AWS service names/namespaces, and there's not much detail beyond that). Everything else is handled through symbolic references (via string/wildcard matching) to principals, resources, and actions in the JSON policies, as well as variables in policy evaluation contexts (and conditions, which are predicates on the values of those variables, or parameters to customizations (policy evaluation helper procedures) provided by each service).

IAM is loosely coupled with the namespaces of the services it serves, and that allows different services to update their authz models independently with pretty much no state or model information centralized in IAM itself. This is a key, underappreciated part of what makes AWS able to move so fast.
As far as I know, that was only for one specific period in time (the Sakoku period[0].)

What is your bottleneck?
It's typical to see at least millisecond latency for a database server that's located in the same data center (e.g. hosting your own Postgres) and tens or hundreds of milliseconds for cloud database services that run outside your data center.

The OP's approach of SQLite & Litestream removes that latency entirely since the database is colocated with the application. Litestream will stream backups to an external service (e.g. S3) and that can have tens or hundreds of milliseconds of latency but that won't affect the application's performance since it is asynchronous replication.

They did not think it through and will create a major usability problem for many users. Remember, the default action for paste on many platforms is to copy the font styles too. Consistency of default font across different documents allowed to copy and paste text as easy as Ctrl-C/Ctrl-V. With this change users will have to either paste without formatting (not everywhere there is a shortcut for it) or to manually change the formatting.
