The there are two procedures, the stem cell procedure is acurately described according to the link you posted.

> How are bone marrow and peripheral blood stem cell (PBSC) donation different?

> Donating bone marrow is a surgical procedure done under general or regional anesthesia in a hospital. While a donor receives anesthesia, doctors use needles to withdraw liquid marrow from the back of the pelvic bone.

> PBSC donation is a non-surgical procedure done in an outpatient clinic. PBSC donors receive daily injections of a drug called filgrastim for five days, to increase the number of blood-forming cells in the bloodstream. Then, through a process called apheresis, a donor's blood is removed through a needle in one arm and passed through a machine that separates out the blood-forming cells. The remaining blood is returned to the donor through the other arm.
You say this but ISPs deliver only a fraction of the bandwidth they advertise, SSD marketing doesn't mention the fact you're not supposed write to it too much... Drug marketing never mentions any side effects, food marketing blatantly takes advantage of the public's ignorance...

People should assume all marketing is incomplete or untrustworthy information at best.
Awesome, just downloaded the local version and it sent out all of delete requests successfully! I am still getting emails from all of the data brokers haha.
And to add a bit of history - meat is also used for nut-meat.
I personally feel that this embodies the hacker spirit perfectly. Has this service been intended to allow the donor access to his sequencing data? No. Can someone use the systems in place to get this info anyway? Yes, as it shows.

The other comments mind the burden to the charities. I personally cannot agree here. After all, this is the donors data. One might even think, that proactively sharing data could increase the number of donors.

>> More specifically, the top 1% of households in the United States have $39.4 trillion in assets and less than $0.8 trillion in debts, which gives them a net worth of $38.6 trillion. So, they have a debt/equity ratio of just 2%. Almost their their entire balance sheet consists of assets.
Meanwhile, the bottom 50% of households have $7.6 trillion in assets and $5.1 trillion in debts, resulting in just $2.5 trillion in net worth. So, they have a debt/equity ratio of 200%. Their balance sheets have a lot of debt relative to equity, and almost as much in debt as in assets.

Isn't this statement misleading? I know Jeff Bezos personally doesn't hold any debts but Amazon does. So, if inflation happens, it will indirectly benifit bezos. Hence, Inflation is good for everyone ( Both poor and rich).... Am I missing something?
It's monumentally stupid to think auth is easy. Yes there are standard cookbooks and checklists out there. The hubris to think that auth fails due to a crypto scheme choice is why average programmers consistently fail at it.

The yearly report of leaks in Fortune 500 companies should be proof enough of this.

EDIT: To elaborate. Crypto scheme is only one tiny facet of a successful authentication solution. Where do you store the hash? What language and stack are you using? What is the maturity of libraries available to you? What protocols? And many more seemingly tiny decisions. All it takes is a lazy developer that imports an insecure transient dependency or snoozes on a CVE.
So should the president of the United States be an expert on tactical jet engines? And also have a PHD in economics? And also be an expert in immunology? And power plant operations? How about the national airspace system?

People are quick to conclude that Colonial’s security was “bad.” But do we know that to be true? A sophisticated, potentially state-sponsored organization initiated this attack. The best security in the world is not 100% secure. It might be wise to get the facts before rushing to judgement.
An importing distinction: The author did not get himself sequenced. He had genotyping.

Genotyping basically picks out a few specific data points. Sequencing reads an entire piece or entire genome completely.

From a health perspective, genotyping pulls data points that we already know can be markers for something significant. Sequencing gets a lot more data, and would sort of be "future proof" against the need to do further testing if new markers were identified you can just look at the data already gathered. Otherwise you'd need to get Genotyping done again.
I doubt there are enough infosec people which means in theory that compensation should rise which will then attract more people into the field. Until they're trained and experienced, whoever provides the best place to work (compensation and intangibles that lead to satisfaction) would get the help they need while others would be more vulnerable to attack. But from what I've seen, this isn't happening. There's lots of complaints about there not being enough workers but instead of boosting compensation and/or quality of employment, the positions simply stay open for extended periods of time.
that's like a well off person eating a cheap meal at McDonalds.

Fines are for show (when it comes to corporations). It's high time we start making people within companies responsible for the actions they take.

The company asked you to do something against the law/etc. Report it. Oh, you weren't taught the laws? that's a failure of the company not preparing you for the job. All higher ups should be personally fined or jailed depending on the act, you should be fined or jailed with a reduced sentence (ignorance of the law isn't a defense). And you should be able to sue the company for damages and lack of training.

These are wild ideas, I know, I'm just hoping for more personal responsibility and less hiding behind the company.

> Cost and time competitive, while also being more comfortable.

This is only true in a vacuum without our political and legal environment. If you could make the project immune to CEQA, eminent domain challenges, and union pressure, then you have a much more viable railway. If you could at least brush off two of those three and one of them was the union pressure, then it might actually get built in the manner it was intended to be linking San Francisco, Sacramento, Los Angeles and San Diego. At this point we’ll be lucky to get a line that doesn’t share tracks with freight between SF and LA.

It seems that it hasn’t occurred to the author that we can also change humans to be more adapted to Mars. And stretch the meaning of human to encompass human like individuals who do not have the same parameters. Terraforming might not have to go as far as he thinks, to be sufficient.
I don't know anything about those two charities. In the USA, 501c3's are in many cases just businesses. Meaning--they aren't sacred benevolent entities.

Waystar used to off a free look at a nonprofits 1040's. I believe their are other that offer a free look at this public information.

So many nonprofits are ridiculously overfunded. So many only pay a livable salary to the key founders, usually an husband and wife team.

One day, I want to put together a list of good nonprofits.

I once heard St. Jude Children's hospital has enough funding to last for 20 years, including costs of new technology; if donations were cut off today.

My point is be savvy with donations. There are very good charities out there.

(True story. National parks have one spot in the park available for first admendment speech. In Muir Woods National Monument it was a couple of parking spots. For years this guy used to hand out flyers to tourists who just got off buses.

He had some nonprofit that proposed to save Redwood trees. I looked up the nonprofit, and couldn't find it. Every night he would show up to the local watering hole with a 3" stack of money he woukd count out. I imagine he was making 2-3k a day. Why am I enclosing this? Because I'm tired of charities taking advantage of certain people.)

Just from a couple tweets he's made, I infer that Elon actually agrees that a lot of his wealth is fake.

Tesla's valuation is insane, it's great evidence that markets are just kind of broken right now. We could speculate on why, but I decline to do that right now.

It appears to me that he mostly focuses on the fundamentals of his companies, including engaging in braggadocio and performance art to pump interest and keep people thinking about what he's doing. But the point of crap like "full self driving", in my opinion, is to sell Teslas. Pumping Tesla stock is a nice side effect, right up until it isn't.

My point is that if Tesla can get robustly profitable, but the stock declines to some reasonable multiple of actual revenue, Elon would count the negative thirty billion dollars next to his name on the Forbes list as a win.
I didn’t ever really bother about how well the station actually worked in B5, it and the larger human ships rotated because the humans didn’t have artificial gravity, and that was enough. It fitted in the world they had built. Similarly I never minded that the design of DS9 is non sensical in real terms, it fits with the other things we see in trek so it feels okay.

In contrast I bounced off Gravity because it was trying so hard to be accurate but had characters doing fairly long range orbital maneuvers by eye, and those two things didn’t feel like they fit.

Is this the same George Church that discussed eugenics with Jeffrey Epstein as part of his plan to create a "baby farm" on his ranch in New Mexico where the late Epstein wanted to impregnate a few dozen (underage?) girls to seed the next generation with his "superior" DNA?

https://www.statnews.com/2019/08/05/citing-nerd-tunnel-visio...

Wonder if the article was written to try to rehabilitate Church's image within the science community, many of whom have now come to realize that his success, like that of his best buddy Martin Nowak, was predicated on denying the suffering endured by countless so-called "sex slaves," that one of Mr. Epstein's chief enablers once described as "trailer park trash," and who now herself is about to stand trial in federal court for the sex-trafficking of minors.

Also take note of the fact that Mr. Church accepted money on behalf of the Harvard Medical School from Mr. Epstein, allegedly as a form of "reputation laundering" for the convicted child rapist in order to help him evade prosecution on federal racketeering charges in 2019, *AFTER* his appointment to a faculty position at Harvard University which was was what presumably afforded him the opportunity to do some of the important work that is attributed to him.

There is simply no excuse, and his apology for many still falls on deaf ears.
He's also never said anything of the sort. He regularly admits that Mars is going to be an insanely tough place to live.
Nolan's typical output is films that are a little smart, but seem to believe themselves to be very smart, while delivering a few really cool scenes, moments, or visuals, but not much else. Interstellar's firmly in that category.

This reminds me of the tension between the Confucians and the Legalists in ancient Chinese Philosophy; as well as Étienne de La Boétie with his [1] Discourse on Voluntary Servitude.

The Legalists believed that if you had good laws then the rest would take care of itself. They "advocated government by a system of laws that rigidly prescribed punishments and rewards for specific behaviours. They stressed the direction of all human activity toward the goal of increasing the power of the ruler and the state."[2]

But the Confucians, particularly Mencius, pointed out that good men would create the good laws; while bad men would corrupt good laws. The laws were important for the ordering of society but insufficient. i.e. : "The sage-kings of antiquity are a model, but one cannot simply adopt their customs and institutions and expect to govern effectively (4A1). Instead, one must emulate the sage-kings both in terms of outer structures (good laws, wise policies, correct rituals) and in terms of inner motivations (placing ren and yi first). Like Confucius, Mencius places an enormous amount of confidence in the capacity of the ordinary person to respond to an extraordinary ruler, so as to put the world in order." [3]

To borrow from the Confucians; the Constitution is a product of good men and good laws to help protect goodness and order in society, but without good men to continue to have a living embodiment of the principles, it is still just a law that can be corrupted or ignored.

A beautiful quote from Etienne that you reminded me of is this, where he advocates to simply stop supporting tyrants: "Resolve to serve no more, and you are at once freed. I do not ask that you place hands upon the tyrant to topple him over, but simply that you support him no longer; then you will behold him, like a great Colossus whose pedestal has been pulled away, fall of his own weight and break in pieces."

Tyrants only have power because people choose to follow.

Firing up a core is hard, but laying superconducting cables around the equator is not particularly hard (probably easier than terraforming). It could replicate a magnetosphere just fine, while also functioning as a planet wide electricity grid and a decade-long battery.

To equate slow as bad right off the mark is a bit of an odd premise. I’d rather have a slow surgeon work on me that was meticulous and precise than a fast one that got the job done quickly but left in a few bugs.

It might be that the slow programmer more than makes up for the time by saving hours, days or weeks of tester’s and support team’s time further down the line.
Those uses can not sustain its price.
This is an excellent 30 minute radio programme/podcast. Since most people I suspect won't have 30 minutes to listen to it all, the programme finishes on an interesting note.

There is a cultural stereotype that Chinese schooling places a higher value on memorisation of facts, compared to liberal Western education systems which prioritise understanding over rote learning. So these memorisation techniques and competitions are painted as a difference in education values.

But as one of the "memory athletes" says, the techniques of memory training are not rote learning, but inherently creative. He goes on to explain why.

There's much more in the programme including how to create a "memory palace".

>In my comparison of HSR vs. cars for <300 mile travel, the rail being 'drastically less flexible' means that it's subject to the same last-mile problem as planes are, whereas cars do not have this problem. Therefore the advantages of cars for trips like this are difficult for HSR to overcome.

For personal travel, I think I'd generally agree. However, lots of US business travellers (pre-COVID anyway) would fly distances of 100,200,300 miles (the shuttles from Phila to NYC were almost always full, and that's just 90 miles!). These journeys have the no-car-last-mile problem, but that doesn't seem to have stopped the wide use of flight for those journeys.

Granted, post-COVID, it's no longer clear how many of these short-haul journeys business travellers will be making in the next 2-10 years.

Risk cannot be eliminated but it certainly can be reduced. Also response plans for when something happens can be funded and regularly tested. You can't anticipate every possible successful attack but you can reduce the risk of being unprepared to respond to whatever attack happens.
The shallower flange distance provides lens designers with more leeway, so that the extra space and weight available can be utilized to make faster lenses, or more complex and corrective lenses compared to an SLR lens of the same focal length and speed. My Contax rangefinders, for example, had very compact lenses of incredible quality (e.g. 45mm f2) but nothing especially exotic. Leica on the other hand brought out various Noctilux models (e.g. 50mm f1) that was superior optically to its equivalent Canon and half the weight. And probably five times the price.

The advantage was most likely down to little compromise on design and cost, but it was there. Current mirrorless lenses appear to going the Leica way of both incredible optical performance and cost, no longer constrained by the mount.

I mean, you've as much as said this, I just thought to add some anecdata. A key driver of these improvements have of course been the ever-increasing resolving power of the sensors needing ever-better lenses. The Zeiss 45mm is my favourite lens ever, but I would not pretend it has the resolving power of a lens made in the last four years. There is of course, more to a lens than resolution, as the Zeiss 50mm C-Sonnar which I cannot part with proves...

I am very impressed with modern mirrorless cameras and lenses, but it is unlikely I will personally be able to dive in, on the grounds of cost.
It already does. The old DOM renderer renders _everything_ by hand. Selected text are absolutely positioned divs, so is the cursor, etc. So switching to canvas is not a big change in that regard.
I find it unbelievable that he would use a public company for this kind of speculation. It is grossly irresponsible.

From what I have seen, if you can be well paid, and put a significant portion of your salary into index funds, over the years, you will generate a modest nest egg, and have choices in your late middle age or retirement. This is a different path than betting on a startup you joined, and hoping that your options end up paying out, but, it is not a bad path.

This ruins all of the stuff you mention. Or at least restricts these nice features to the rich. People don't have access to these features if they are only used indirectly through the major institutions they work with.
> How unique are these ids really? I imagine certain apps will be very commonly installed as well as certain groups of apps?

Probably worse than you think. Zoom, Skype and Slack will be very common on work computers, while game launchers like steam and epic will work quite well on gaming pcs. You can differentiate further by checking the mixing of those groups and their relative music client (Spotify, ITunes...). Of course it won't be full 32 bits, but given the amount of quite common programs with url handler, it will probably deliver quite good results.
So, supposedly, Colonial paid the ransom "within hours after the attack". And, supposedly, the attack didn't even hit any ICS, just the payment infrastructure ( https://www.zdnet.com/article/colonial-pipeline-ransomware-a... ). Why are there still gas shortages 6 days later?

Not a rhetorical question at all. To me, the idea that the infrastructure we rely on is controlled by middle managers with no sense of urgency and no grasp of their domain looks like the real fridge horror story here. On the other hand, I have learnt better than to trust everything I read in the press; thus the supposedlies. Either way, "the decryption tool is slow" is not an excuse to not deliver essential supplies.
