Biohacking in the sense of making E. coli grow on a different substrate, like in the ODIN kit, is pretty tame and unobjectionable. Promoting the manufacture and administration of homemade vaccines, though, is human subjects research, or _very_ close to it. The current manner in which society handles human subjects research came about through reaction to specific offenses, the main ones being Nazi experiments, government studies such as the Tuskegee Syphilis Study, and common experimentation by clinicians on their patients. In reaction, definitions for human subjects research and principles to protect human subjects were established in the Nuremberg Code, Helsinki Declaration, and the Belmont Report. These principles exist not only to protect subjects but to avoid even the appearance of wrongdoing.

Promoting experimental (biohacked) treatments and guiding people through administering them is not compatible with the currently accepted ethical framework for protection of human subjects, _especially_ if it's done with intent of generating scientific knowledge.

That, I think, is a large factor in why government and corporate entities do not wish do be seen as supporting, even tacitly, biohacking on humans. If you do biohacking on yourself quietly, no one will really care, but publishing what you learned makes it scientific research, and if it was done to a human it's human subjects research. So yes, the root of the conflict probably is a lack of acceptance by the "official science cult", but this conflict does not seem arbitrary or frivolous. Extension of current approaches to human subjects research to accommodate a public DIY biology / biohacking community may be possible but seems tricky to do without accidentally deregulating the whole field.
Germany also has a state backed research program. This, however, has been cut after Fukushima and the political decision to not rely on nuclear energy anymore. People got scared, understandable, hence, the decision back than had a huge support.

China is a technocratic autocracy. Although they rely on the approval of the masses, they can plan long term, instead from election to election. And they calculate whether it's worth or not to manipulate the public opinion on certain topics.

It's in Atlanta. There wasn't much else at the time, unless you counted Pindrop and AirWatch.

Nowadays there are plenty of alternatives in Atlanta and no excuse for subpar comp. There are giant regional Microsoft [1], Google [2], and Facebook [3] offices, and a ton of good startups that offer equity at ATDC [4] and beyond.

After it was obvious Mailchimp wasn't the best place to work, I tried to get my Atlanta mailchimp friends to join the then-pre-IPO unicorn I worked at. My equity is now worth eight figures (well, high seven, but I sold some along the way).

I worked with someone even luckier who wound up as high C-suite of Greenlight, pre-unicorn status. Again, by not drinking the kool aid and taking charge of their career.

Mailchimp underpaid these folks. And all for a shitty PHP stack that spams people. It's a job that's one notch above working at Home Depot or The Weather Channel.

Unless you're really happy with what you do (and even if you are), shop around. You owe it to yourself. Microsoft is literally a mile away and will pay so much more.

Mailchimp is going to be scraping the bottom of the barrel for talent after these offices come online. There are $300-400k jobs in the city if you look.

A good lesson for the Atlanta tech scene.

Do you have any recommendations on resources or courses to get started with frontend and backend development to build saas products?
My first computer was a Timex Sinclair 1000, too. That keyboard was too much, but you kept at it! And if you even looked at that memory module funny, it would short out and you'd have to stay up all night and re-key everything back in by hand. We got more use out of the TRS-80s at school, but having a machine to ourselves at home was influential.
At least they were honest about withholding equity. Lots of startups do effectively the same thing by granting RSUs that become worthless via an assortment of underhanded mechanisms.
There’s a solution, a client software called Psst

Where's Windows ME?
If that's what you think context clues means, I can't help you.
So, with a REST connection, the client makes a connection, sends a request, gets a response, closes the connection. You might have 1000 "simultaneous users" but at any one time that might mean only 100 actual connections in progress.

With WebSockets the connection is opened, then held open. So 1000 users means 1000 connections. So this is a limitation in the sense that there will be a max number of connections your OS can handle, and as the connection pool gets large there is some overhead in managing that connection list.

There will be some minor traffic to each connection (Ping/Pong) every minute or so to keep the connection open.

Websockets perform better because the connection is already open. So the client can push data quickly with no overhead. Equally the server can push data at the client which it can't do in a REST situation. Depending on your requirements WebSockets may be less actual network traffic because there are no polling REST clients "just checking for new info".

In most API situations REST is perfectly sufficient, and programmers are familiar with it, so it's easy to default to that. In most API situations data changes infrequently, and does not require immediate update. Games are different because data changes _very_ fast (depending on the game) and of course in most cases requires immediate update.

For your situation (with the data you provided) there's no absolutely right answer, but if the game is multi-player and real-time, then sockets are likely to be a good option.

No, because despite whatever the talkshows say, both parties and especially the judiciary are largely committed to preserving constitutional rights. There's disagreements on finer points of where the lines are drawn, but that's handled in courts and legislation, and rarely ever guns ablazing.

Compare to Hong Kong, which is not governed by consent of the governed.

> oppressing minority vote by making voting more difficult

Requiring an ID to vote is not "oppressing" anybody, Marxist.
It's irrational, sure. But it seems like a very human way of thinking. Anchoring is real.
This article is wrong in so many points that I basically copy and pasted the whole thing.

> Disclaimer - I have invested 1% of my savings into stable cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin and Ethereum etc.

The question is not how much. The question is when and how. The only thing that is good on this article is the % of the savings. 1% is fairly reasonable.

> Let’s talk about slot games first.

Bad comparison. Those who mix investment and lucky generally have a pretty wrong concept about investment.

> Most of them are designed in such a way that you will win only 49% of the time and the rest 51% of you will lose.

Considering that this is true, it is not a chaotic system like any economic system. Nobody can set a decentralized currency to fail.

> Cryptocurrency returns are a zero-sum game i.e. if 1 person gets a $10 profit, another person has to lose $10.

No, it is not. The monetary base expands with a fixed rate. Also, you are mixing profit and value here. One can easily profit $10, sell an the other one profit $10.

> To win in gambling, you must have a mathematical positive edge over your competitors.

Wrong again. For this to work, both you and the machine need to have infinite money. One lucky person can win you all.

> In my cryptocurrency world, no one really has a positive mathematical edge in cryptocurrency i.e. no one has such information which makes them better than other crypto investors. So, it is impossible to make a profit in long term.

This is so wrong that it is wrong in different levels at the same time. You can be a better investor in crypto. One example was the strategicly investing in currencies that that's inverse proportional due to its differences of philosophies (like BCH and BTC). Another level of wrongness is that crypto can reduce risks of a local currency, due to the fact that no individual institution can control.

> Why do I invest? I believe staying longer for longer period creates a mathematical edge as people in short term either book small profit and leave or accumulate huge loss and wait for price coming back.

This is wrong because you are completely ignoring some basic concepts called innovation, market shift, corporation wrongdoings. You are basically saying that a company can't fail if you wait long enough.

>> Some ISPs block websockets with some websites

While I'm assuming you have personal experience of this, and I hesitate to make absolute statements, if your connection is HTTPS end to end, I'm not sure how an ISP can "block" it. The ISP sees a regular web connection on port 443, and everything inside that is encrypted.

So I'm not sure _how_ it would even know it's web-sockets except perhaps for heuristics on traffic behaviour - and even then it must look similar to keep-alive or HTTP2.

With good planning it's easy to do multiple requests on a single socket (the requests themselves would be serialized over the socket, but the server could easily spawn threads to process each request, and then pump the answers back when they are ready.) The connection itself would be serialized, but the handling at either end could easily deal with multiple requests and responses.
Strange. They were free to move to a company that offers equity, but stayed?
This is just completely wrong. All cells in our body come from the same source, the same dna. That dna undergoes selection that leads to better whole-organism fitness. It makes leads to cells prioritizing the common good rather than their own survival. When a cell mutates to only care about itself, goes feral you might say, that's what we call cancer.

Yes, I need to trust the VPN provider and that's a trade I'm willing to make. My ISP has my name, address, DOB, and my SSN. My VPN provider has none of those things.

TLS solves part of the problem with ISP snooping, sure. The ISP does still know which IPs I'm accessing though and since SNI information isn't encrypted, so they may even know the hostname. There's more to it than reading the contents of sites I visit.

I'm also not fond of my ISP-issued IP trivially pin-pointing the town I live in. I'm less fond of the way trackers and advertisers use that information. Routing my traffic through a VPN addresses that point as well.

Maybe some day we'll see wide deployment of IPv6 addresses that don't reveal geographic location. Maybe some day we'll have encrypted SNI everywhere. Maybe some day 100% of all network traffic, HTTP or otherwise, will use TLS. But, we're not there today. A VPN provider is a nice stopgap measure.

I'd argue that is an enhancement of my privacy. It's had a nice secondary benefit of avoiding ISP throttling or peering disputes.

No, the full Forbes quote from the "Tesla Daily" video is "118 kilowatt-hours total capacity". That's gross capacity. Did you read the Car and Driver battery explainer? If not, have a read.

Here's the whole Forbes article:

https://www.forbes.com/wheels/news/lucid-air-500-mile-range/

I think you've done a good job proving the Lucid Air's battery pack is 113 kWh net. And today's lesson is that Twitter is not your best source of information.
Thanks for this. Like so many people, I’ve long believed the myth that they removed it - though I can hardly be blamed, since A-list tech media have reported it as true.
Consumer Reports is funded by their subscribers, not advertisers. They don't even accept free samples.

The Tesla yoke is a dangerous and unintuitive design that becomes readily apparent when put under any sort of objective test. It deserves all the negative press it gets.
These were medical tests they were lying about. People’s health was at risk. They lied to third and fourth stage cancer patients. Anyone who pointed out the problems were fired or sued. What a silly article to write. A man who did this would 100% be facing trial as well

Half true. The true half is that terraform will work out of the box with basically all clouds and many saas vendors. The untrue half is that terraform does nothing to abstract away the underlying vendor. You cant treat gcp VMs the same as aws EC2 instances. You do get to reuse HCL.
I don’t think that’s the example you think it is - HGP was a US government project. Private companies went on to commercialize gene sequencing, but the R&D was started by the public sector.
The ATS programming language offers an excellent platform for scientific computing because it is marketed at academics and offers very high performance.

It’s an obscure language but maintained and used by very smart people. You just need to be a bit of a hacker to be good at it but it’s at the cutting edge of high performance programming language research.
> But, those fears are absolutely unfounded, because they would require that human society be able to survive the next killer virus, global warming, decreasing male fertility, critical supply-chain shortages due to an increasingly global trade network, global nuclear or non-nuclear war, hyper-inflation in an IMF reserve currency, democratic political polarization...

Growth is a constant and we are not putting the genie back into the bottle. All of these are addressed in some capacity by embracing and enhancing globalism and multilateralism. Working together towards empathic, transnational societies is the only real sustainable way forward. Regression into isolationist fiefdoms with autocratic or monarchic leadership is simply unworkable and not going to happen.

Ask HN: Why did PowerMac G3 and G4s have 64-bit PCI slots?
Do a Google Image search on the motherboards of the original PowerMac G3 and G4 systems, and you'll notice several 64-bit PCI slots.

Coming from a PC enthusiast background, 32-bit PCI seemed perfectly serviceable, with 64-bit only ever seen in exotic server configurations.

What benefit did Apple see in adopting 64-bit PCI in these systems, what kinds of cards actually took advantage of this technology, and why was it never a thing in mainstream PC computing?
Based on the given timeline, it seems like it's projected unless he went from $100/day at the start of the pandemic to $300+/day by September 2020 (ie, in about 4-5 months).
I'm thinking about learning Vue and Go. When and why do you use Node.js instead of Go for the backend?
This is just a guess, but I believe that they use machine learning and rank it by the clicks. I took some coursera courses and Andrew Ng sort of suggested that as their strategy.

The problem is that clickbait and low effort articles could be good enough to get the click, but low effort enough to drag society into the gutter. As time passes, the system is gamified more and more where the least effort for the most clicks is optimized.
I don't think it is. "Injure and kill" may be precisely what you want to do if you're in a self-defense situation.

Compomnent count doesn't have to do anything with right to repair. And I really hope easily swappable components too (well up to a certain point, maybe. Just maybe).

Naturally, you need expertise to repair. And you need tools too. But you have to have access to schematics+boardview, spare parts, a way to flash firmware (so the replaced component actually works/talks with other components on the board) and you are good to go.
