I'm far from expert but I don't think this would be a large concern. My understanding of CTCs (circulating tumor cells) is that they are shed by a growing tumor. A random weird cell doesn't seem likely to be turned up in a test like this. You need some amount of quantity to set off the proverbial alarm bells

That's easily disproven: HN commenters post views from every side of these questions, and as long as they do so thoughtfully and substantively, we don't moderate them.

Commenters in the habit of posting typical internet dreck love nothing better than to paint themselves in grandiose colors as noble, freethinking victims of repression. In fact the problem is, to put it crudely, that they post such shitty comments. We're just trying to have an internet forum that manages to hover a little above the bottom of the barrel.

Hey pal, I almost wonder if our Dads know each other. Our upbringings were so similar, just a couple of provinces apart.

My version of that story was when the Chief of the Peter Ballantyne First Nation came to visit us. I spent the first couple years of my life on the PBFN. I was about your age and had the same questions about how great it would be if they moved to my city. he explained that on reserve, he can just be a man. He can be good, he can be bad, he can make mistakes and he can have successes. In a city, it doesn't matter what he does, he's just 'a fucking Indian.' If he makes a mistake, he's a 'dirty fucking Indian'. If he has success, he's a 'fucking Indian sucking at the teet'.

I also remember him cracking a joke. "Do they know this isn't India?" :)

I've never heard a proposal to give back the land unless people have been sipping. And I say silly stuff too when I sip so who can judge. The most radical idea I've heard outside of those settings is to treat current lands as sovereign nations that have an equal standing with the rest of the nation. The goal seems to be peaceful and respectful coexistence.

I think we can all (or at least should all) be able to get behind that. Wouldn't peaceful coexistence be a pretty amazing way to live??
A broken, racist, nationalist clock is right twice a day. And as for the "new info" that has come to light, I find it amazing that Americans will continue to believe every 'smoking gun' offered to them by their intelligence agencies, as long as it's laundered through the right news outlets.
I've not seen any serious proposals to implement ubi before automation has substantially increased unemployment. In that case, not only are people idle, but also desperate.

Fwiw, I don't mind working at all, but in an ideal world, my work would be varied and my hours would be of my choosing. Sure, you can get that if you freelance, but most corporate jobs want 8h/d 40h/w, at least, and is that how anyone wants to spend their time on earth?

No, privilege is very real. The problem is using it as a bludgeon to silence someone's complains or to induce guilt or shame.

You are misunderstanding the use of "only" here. It is meant to describe which punishments were meted out, not to pass judgement on the severity. Cases where there were other punishments in addition to loss of vacation time are not included.
Companies with high engineering excellence tend to give their engineers lots of autonomy.

You know you're in one such company when your responsibility is no longer limited to writing good code, but at the table deciding what should be built, and what the future plan is for the company or the product area.
Crazy how easy that is. I bet within a year we hear about criminals using something like this to know when people leave their house for extended periods.
All of that hoop you jumped through is (seen from my perspective) thinly veiled xenophobia/racism. Now it maybe that you did not intend it that way, but it came across as such, for instance you've posted:

> partly owned by the Chinese Army

None of the sources that you've posted supported this, The PLA is also specifically banned to operate/control business since 1998. The ownership structure of Huawei is also available in more detail here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Huawei#Ownership

If it's not some deep seated bias, what lead you to straight up invent or stretch claims like this?
>Most desktops today only have a browser and some office application installed.

The desktops I see on a daily basis don't have only a browser and office application installed.

I'm not sure which phone or OS you are using, but almost all smartphones have some kind of TPM or TEE nowadays. FWIW, the banking app on my Android phone makes use of that through the KeyChain API.

When someone continually milks customers for more and more cash on the promise of something never delivered, that's called "exploitation" and "a con job."

Sure, "rips" and "knocks" have been replaced with "slams" etc but it's the exact same tactic that has been used for at least a while.

It would be interesting to see how far back this media behavior goes, which outlets are most culpable, and which "side of the aisle" these articles are mainly targeting, because I genuinely don't know.
This is so hard to understand. It seems like a service to create fixatons or bug bashing events in you org, but they also say it's a global competition (?)

I fail to understand the value of this. Seems to me like they want you to use and pay for CodeGuru, which will tell you shit about your codebase. Then you can import those issues into some sort of campaign inside this BugBust thing so you can create competitions and as you do it you compete with other teams around the world from other companies(?)

If that's what it is, then this sounds like an idea created in a vacuum, with no customer input at all. I fail to see any value on this.
The main structural reason being a unified market of 400 million people with the same language, currency, and transportation infrastructure.
These workers need to form a "software engineering association" that will push busy bodies in legislatures to change laws. Otherwise that "I quit" is a kid's tantrum who refuses to eat oatmeal today.
You can't always easily compile an old C program against the new C libraries you are running. Even if you can compile it, changes in libraries can break programs. E.g. say in the ancient library, memcpy with null pointer parameters worked, if the size was zero. The new library checks it and aborts. There are all sorts of issues like this.

Every time libraries and compilers advance, you're effectively porting all the existing code. You have to fix any build breakage, and re-validate everything.

Moreover, Python is a C program. Just get the old Python 2 C code and compile it against "the same version of libc you're running" and it will work, right? Where is the problem?
How did it compare with more “traditional” code analysis linters like Coverity or Semmle?
Isn't this exactly why the headline reads "blood test good enough to be rolled out"?

I.e., higher FP rate, and it wouldn't be rolled out.
They would lose a lot of potential players.

I used to be a pretty hardcore PvPer when I was young then got tired of griefing, being griefed, fixing and getting better gear, spending hours to craft stuff that would be gone in minutes.

Basically, wasting a ton of time.

That may be fine when you're in school, but not when you have a job and a life.

EVE was an outlier probably because they could afford to be with what looked like zero competition in their heyday. Now they sold the game to Pearl Abyss, must have been doing pretty poorly.
Why can’t we observe ourselves medically and analyze that record for early signs of trouble before it becomes serious?!

We can and plenty of people do, usually with tools like health journals and smart watches recording biometrics.

They aren't, but it isn't sexy to post about your problems on social media or maybe even talk about them with your close friends or family. And it isn't easy either, especially if you don't even know what is wrong or how others could help you.
Panasonic made their investment back in 2010. Investing in a (at the time) much smaller partner as part of a business deal is a semi-common thing to do because the smaller company needs more runway to be able to get to the point where they can actually start buying from you.

Oh Lord almighty. A few council members in Minneapolis speak some words for show and people are taking this seriously??

The city charter commission is responsible for approving this "defund the police" measure and they're never ever ever gonna do it. It's an unelected body, appointed by the Chief Judge of Hennepin County (not even the city).

Yeah, Mayor Frey signed a budget that shifted $8 million from the police to mental health crisis response teams, crime prevention programs, etc. The 2020 police budget was $193 million. "Defund the police", huh -- a budget cut of less than 10% total (4% in the shift noted above).

I hate the lack of actual facts in this discussion. It's like saying I'm on a hunger strike 'cause I stopped eating Oreos.
Herein lies the real issue. Biology is a very, very messy science. So yes it could just be a testing error. But it might not be. It might be that something in your body behaves in a way that's unexpected. It might be some other non-dangerous anomaly as you cite.

We understand far more than we did say 20 years ago. But the problems are non-trivial on a scale most people don't appreciate.
At least there's no M in FAANG, so once you get into Microsoft, you'd still not be working in a FAANG company :)

I think others are confusing your "lower IQ" comment to mean "people with intellectual disabilities", which I don't think you're defending. It's obvious that "stupid" people (those seen as "normal stupid") are one of the last publicly-acceptable targets of ridicule. It's common for even the most well-mannered public personalities to speak derisively and dismissively about the stupidity of others. The most common insult toward someone you disagree with is to call them "stupid" or "an idiot". No one says "retarded" in polite company anymore, but it's essentially the same thing.
You are guilty of a rhetorical trick. It goes like this. Some expert in ___ holds this position because he knows all about ___ wherein the person is am expert and does indeed hold the belief. The implication is that he holds the belief which is absolutely true but leaves out the fact that the belief is not only a minority position amongst the general population but even more so amongst experts meaning expertise leads one to reject the position.

The flu vaccine very very rarely causes vasculitis and almost all cases resolve favorably. One meta study of the literature identified 65 cases ever.

Meanwhile it's not unusual to see 20-60k annual deaths in the United States.

Statistically not getting a flu vaccination for fear of vasculitis is like not wearing a seat belt in case one wants to escape the car quickly in case one happens to get out quick in case you decide to drive into a lake today.

You have misunderstood the figures on flu vaccinations. It's commonly 30-60% effective at preventing infection. If this was just true about the under 65 it would still mean fewer under 65 able to spread it to 65+ but fortunately it isn't true.

Yeah if you wanna talk architecture I have a bit of YOLO code that drags on me.

But actually in this specific case like 99% of my elemental interaction code is in the same place just as you recommend!

In this specific case the problem was entirely that I added a new rule to make ice decay into wet when it was removed, but didn't add a check to see if ice had been applied in the first place before removing it. And of course, that was all in the elemental interactions file. 28 of the 30 minutes were spent in just puzzlement why the fire wasn't applying and checking a bunch of irrelevant dead ends before I thought to check "oh obviously it's probably the elemental interaction code, go check the elemental interaction file." 2 minutes were spent fixing the actual code.
You just described Tools like HotJar.

Do civil engineers still learning manual drafting, or is it all CAD now?
Oh hey this is my industry (robots in agriculture).

I don't like this. It feels way too "Juicero" to me. Too cute, to inconsequential. It feels likely one would spend more time on building and maintaining this thing than work it actually saves and a significant amount the benefit of having a garden is working it with you hands and watching that work grow in fruition.

Bots in the farm though, they are the real deal. Reducing herbicide use by 80% or more, allowing the use of non-GMO crop while maintaining strong weed control and healthy crop, treating and optimizing every individual plant in a field, all things that will happen in the next 10 years due to robotics in the farm.
Seems a bit of a far-fetched conclusion from a black swan.

Browser games allow you to fast prototype but people don't care at all whether the game is Flash or instant, written in C++ or you need to install some software to play it. The only thing they care about is the game good.

Lucee 5.3.8.187 Stable Release
I have no expertise here but I worry that these trials are studying the decision-making processes around how people decide to use the information from these tests, rather than the tests themselves.

How people use information varies, so the data might not have external validity - it’s culture specific, and cultures differ. Cultures can also change through accumulated experience.

So do the people studying these things try again with different and possibly better decision-making, or do they conclude that the test itself is no good?
The problem in your example isn't for Panasonic, it's for company B. I'm not sure why you think preferential treatment between companies is a bad thing. If you're Panasonic or Tesla you'd want to keep a good thing going and if Tesla wants to change battery design, Panasonic isn't going to cater to the car company buying a rounding error of what Tesla buys to keep some appearance of "fairness."

You make what your customers want, and you definitely favor making what your best customer wants.

Just want to point out that you've got insider knowledge and if you want people to be better educated about distinctions and jargon you gotta educate them. Just referring people to the great oracle called Google leads to the bad old days of googling a question and only getting threads where frustrated specialists snarkily suggest googling instead of asking.

Really though, the hardest part of googling the answer to a question is knowing what to call things and how to phrase your own questions. Google "is amazon dumping printers", its about E-waste and recycling. Of course, you wouldn't do that because you know better, but thats sort of the point. You are the one who knows better, not the questant who is sort of confused definitionally.
It's not clear cut in case of "ugly". The term could be defined as unpleasant to look at or be around. They could be unpleasant because of past decisions that reflect on their personal choices and attitudes. If someone is morbidly obese, they likely have an issue with over-eating. If someone is un-groomed, it likely reflects on other aspects of their personality.

So "ugliness" doesn't exist in a vacuum. And these social science studies especially around something so subjective as appearance are not reliable IMO.
The back loves raised beds compared to the alternative.
> It means to abolish the police by removing funding.

No, as someone actually in the “abolish/disband” camp, I can confidently say it is a different (and smaller) segment of the movement than the “defund” camp (and even for the vast of the “abolish” camp, it doesn’t mean to eliminate the law enforcement, including armed response, functions served by the police from local government but to disband the existent monolithic centralized local paramilitary law enforcement agencies and reorganize local community services with law enforcement as an organizationally decentralized function distributed throughout local government.)

Of course, those of us who are in the abolish/disband camp tend to see the “defund” camp (who want to divert resources and some functions to other local service organizations and not make the police responsible for as much) as a better-than-nothing compromise position that can break the vicious “reform” cycle where every police problem that rises to the level where it is accepted than something needs to be done leads to more funding being dumped into police coffers at the expense of other agencies, necessitating an expanded police role, and leading to even more police problems.

I understand rule #11. The question that occurred to to me was:

How do the various approaches (and the recommended approach) affect SEO?

Is a rule like this more about creating URL's that make sense to a human? If so, how important is that really?

No opinion at this point, just wondering. Cognitive load (one of the arguments in support of the suggested approach) isn't all that meaningful when it comes to SEO. Right?
The successful ones (particularly Kongregate) didn't require a login, they let you play for free as an anonymous user, and then tried to incentivize you to login after the fact. Requiring it up front cuts out an enormous amount of users.

Using Java doesn’t mean you have to name everything AbstractFactoryFactoryBean. That’s just general bad development no matter what language is used. My personal hate is over engineered solutions with too many latest fashionable technologies shoehorned in for the sake of using them. Especially 5 years later when you have to deal with them.
