Here's a tip:

You should never have a button suddenly change functions underneath a user's cursor without any warning -- ESPECIALLY while doing a repetitive task.
I wonder if this includes sending slack messages or emails outside of work. I’ve personally never been _texted_ outside of work but I’ve received these other forms of communication.

I’m also a US tech worker. Maybe texting outside work is more common in other countries or professions.
I think they meant anonymous with respect to other users. With Telegram you can create a username and be contacted through that without revealing your phone number. As far as I know that's not possible with WhatsApp.
The golden age of hacker ethos is at whatever time one was teenager, assumed everybody shares his friends group opinions and discovered tech politics for the first time.

> For-profit publishers are filling a “need” that is entirely due to the culture and economics of academia.

They are filling a need they created and maintain themselves. Publishers with extremely deep pockets bought out prestigious non-profit journals [1], turning an inelastic market (originating from the value of peer-reviewed journals in a pre-Internet era) into an oligopoly that continued to raise prices as much as possible. No extra need was filled by the takeover, no value was provided, only more profit was extracted because it was economically possible. Now, this profit is used to fund the continued existence of this need, by lobbying against any effort to remove this need. It makes perfect sense economically, but is plainly detrimental to society and is at a stage that makes any gradual change very difficult.

> Imagine that all of academia elects, tomorrow, to jettison for-profit publishers and self-organize around open access.

This sort of thought experiment is meaningless as any kind of proof because it doesn't consider the complexity of the human element. Academic researchers aren't perfectly rational units independent from any other system, like the simple fact of having to pay rent to live and that rent being available from this month's paycheck, and that paycheck being dependent on continued employment whose loss would likely take months to resolve. You're only demonstrating that if we lived in some abstract, perfect world, some problems would solve themselves. But in that same abstract, perfect world that problem likely wouldn't even manifest in the first place. So what are you really proving?

Cool project, you can also add the option to guess the population and have a scoreboard of who was the least wrong.
That's what SNPs are. Specifically, point mutations that are associated with known outcomes (ie diseases) or with group differences.

Point mutations occurring outside SNPs are almost by definition not yet useful. If we know what the gene does or is related to, it's an SNP.

My best practices with MS Word are:
1. Disable fast saves.
2. Disable auto save.
3. Save often and always with a different name (1, 2, 3 etc).
4. After some hours of work, save, close word and open it again.
Point 1 and 2 are related to some bugs when word will crash during save and destroy your file. Point 4 is related to a bug in MS Word when, for every element in your file (text, graphics) word will create a temporary file until it fills your hard drive.
I do not recommend saving to any cloud storage (connection broken, bye bye file).
NO.

Don’t tell the Luxembourgish government, they still use Whatsapp (seriously) for communication (some also use Signal et al.) but not a majority. And I personally use it amongst other things to communicate with whistleblowers ;)
Other countries (France, Italy, Slovakia, and now Portugal) outside the US are slowly implementing legislation to prohibit after hours contact to enforce work like balance and boundaries (because you can’t expect employers to do this out of the goodness of their hearts; they will extract as much as they can in jurisdictions without sufficient labor protections, speaking from high level macro observations).

The dangerous part of being in a spin like this isn’t being able to regain control, if you push up the throttle it just happens.

I'm annoyed at the presumption that I, as a customer, was not aware or on-board with what 23andMe is doing. I did. I'm happy to be part of this. I don't care that someone is making money because of it. I'm just glad that biomedical research to save lives is happening. Why is it a bad thing?

And as a side benefit, through this system I got to meet my second cousin and tell her what my mother remembers about her now-passed-on grandmother (that literally happened last night and I'm still excited about it).

I am a bit nervous about some of the 'we found the criminal by searching the company's DNA database' stuff. I think some regulation around that is needed. And perhaps 23andMe needs to make it more obvious to customers that they will do this research using the DNA.

But as an informed consumer, I was happy to become a customer and participant in this fascinating system.
Thank you for the kind words, but I nodded when I read the parent post. It reminded me of something my wife and I talk about, how we took a lot of video when our kids were young, and maybe we should have just enjoyed more of the time.

I certainly don't understand why so many jumped on a bandwagon of a SBC which was basically an obscure GPU with some accidentally attached ARM cores, on an I/O starved SoC design, that still doesn't have a useful opensource bootloader even after 8 years or so,... when much more interesting, more open, and chepaer alternatives started appearing rather quickly after the first Rpis.
Every time I try to google local well-known fraudsters in the UK, where even the news article itself mentions previous well-reported scandals, all searches with the name of the guy will only return the google message about records having been hidden because of that.

>Will it actually lead to more people choosing a MacBook than any other Laptop? With these prices I‘m not so sure.

Not MacBook Pro, but MacBook Air.

The MacBook Air starts at $999. And if anyone has been paying a little more attention one may discover MBA discount is unusually high compared to previous Intel MBA. Education MBA M1 are going at $899 and in some cases $799. The lowest retail discount on MBA goes down to $800 on Amazon.

Basically because the BOM cost advantage and margin on M1 MBA are higher. At this price M1 MBA are selling as fast as they could make them. And Apple could afford to lower the official price of MBA M1 to $899 once newer M2 MBA ( or MacBook ) are out. Compared to the PC industry, not only do they not have anything as fast, as good experience, their BOM cost are also higher due to Intel or AMD chip pricing.

I think once the transition has settled, Apple will announce their 120M Mac active Mac user next year.

While I made this predictions of BOM cost advantage way back in 2014, this actually makes me rather sad because PC has nothing left to fight the Mac. They have nothing on the roadmap. And Apple is no longer the same company as they were in 2014.
Good on you for making something that people want to use.

This may not be an issue because ScoopWhoop seems to primarily deal with India, but the name is really close in pronunciation to "suu whoop" (pronounced like "soo whoop"), which is the gang call for the Bloods in the US [1].

Workplaces not bugging employees after hours is a great rule of thumb, but blanket rules don't leave room for people to use their judgement to resolve (hopefully very rare) legitimate emergencies and problems.
You probably have much more knowledge than me then, but based on the reading I've done, we now basically know of certain genes that make people far more likely to get diseases like alzheimers or even to get a diagnosis of autism (genes which make the body unable to detoxify heavy metals) - it seems to me like that sort of information is probably instrumental in being able to fully understand and eventually cure or prevent these diseases, no?

A zipapp is not a hack, it's an official feature of the python stdlib (as shown in the parent comment), and is made for the specific use case of grouping several files into one module for ease of sharing.

All of this works fine with python 2.7 as long as you put the rest of your code in your main() entry point, which you should do anyway. So an f-string would cause no problem.

Also, "informative stack trace" is only informative to another dev, and an experienced one at that, given how many juniors I encounter that can't read a traceback.

Indeed, you script users may not be devs, and for those, a traceback would be confusing. For this reason, a script should only output a traceback in dev mode, but in production, if the dev flag is not set (-X dev), you should never see a traceback. It's a good practice to suppress it with sys.excepthook, and log it into a file instead.

Using a syntax error like you do for this purpose IS the big hack.

Now I'm not against a hack. I can see the value of it for your own scripts, of things that you code quick and dirty style. After all, I don't always want to have a clean entry point and more than one file.
But that’s why you need to pick the news sources that you consume, just like how you don’t eat at every restaurant that you see.

Not sure about the exact numbers, but there is one thing to keep in mind: a significant part of those users were in "developing markets", where the fee was never introduced in practice. WhatsApp kept granting free extensions to them until they ditched the paid plan completely. I think that their next billion or two users have also been mostly in markets that wouldn't have been subject to the fee anyway.
I totally agree that genomics has been oversold, and that companies like 23andMe did a lot of the over hyping, but I would also argue that most in the field knew it was being overhyped, and they didn't speak out or they were ignored. The public and scientific fascination and fixation with DNA in and of itself prevents a lot of people from looking critical at it and how it's actually useful. We attribute too much magic to it.

We are not at Gattaca levels of DNA predictions, not merely because of lack of tech development, but because the DNA doesn't actually tell us that. Given the weak clues that DNA actually gives about the individual, Gattaca is a cautionary tale about what happens when people believe too much in bad predictions, and enshrine bad models as a metric of social worth. Any society could fall prey to this, but today it seems more likely the bad models will be based on predictive modellijg from monitoring social media than from DNA.

Federal research programs also bit too hard on the promises as well, and invested heavily in genome-wide-association-studies (GWAS) to very little effect. I chose my HN username as these were getting deployed, much out of frustration with that direction of research. The clues, even early on into a massive spend, we're that GWAS wouldn't be terribly productive.

I think the biggest risk of being oversold right now are the "polygenic risk scores" being used for various quantitative traits, which fail to generalize very well. As more advanced machine learning techniques are used, we are likely to get even worse models. The curse of dimensionality makes the problem much more difficult than with traditional machine learning fields. Each case with a single label has millions of features, but we only get a very small number of cases relative to the number of features. And we are unlikely to be able to transform our feature space in ways that have worked well for, say, images by using spatial data. My personal hypothesis, by no means unique to me, is that we need to use the network of gene interactions as the feature transformation, but we don't yet have that network explored fully.

I believe this was passed in response to such concerns: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genetic_Information_Nondiscrim...

"The act bars the use of genetic information in health insurance and employment: it prohibits group health plans and health insurers from denying coverage to a healthy individual or charging that person higher premiums based solely on a genetic predisposition to developing a disease in the future, and it bars employers from using individuals' genetic information when making hiring, firing, job placement, or promotion decisions."
A beekeeper here.

1. Bees have only been kept in flat frames for less than 200 years which would not be enough time to select for such a specific trait.

2. Domestic bees that swarm and find homes in hollow trees or gaps in houses form blobby swirls of what beekeepers call 'crazy comb'. The liberated bees create topological forms which are probably much more efficient than flat frames. Flat frames benefit the beekeeper, not so much the bees, and bees will make comb when and where they like.

Oversold as in "a genetic test will tell you how and when you will die"? True. But what we are doing today: telling people if they should take drug A, B or C, based on their mutations. Telling people if the fetus is affected by any of a pool of diseases. Pointing clinicians towards diagnostics (i.e. adding info, removing hypothesis...). Tracing diseases in genealogic trees and counselling future parents. Lots and lots of other goodies that were not available 10 years ago. And the best part is that there are much to come.
Umm, no!? At least not in any way that is common place enough to actually be known about.

As others have said there are probably rules around taxes that kick in at some point which for the most part are ignored between friends. But I'd assume that's true almost everywhere.

Portugal has form in this regard. If it sets out to do this at a national level, it will likely actually deliver.

It has already succeeded in making itself a great place for other nationals to retire to, for example. Portugal has deliberately arranged its tax system to attract pensioners, and done big sales pushes.

And it works. Lots of Swedish pensioners, for example, receive a Swedish state pension but spend that money in their new retirement home in Portugal.
