It's worth noting that La Gomera is quite far from the more western islands: Gran Canaria, Fuerteventura and Lanzarote. Visitors staying on those islands might need to plan their La Gomera visit ahead of traveling to the canaries.
Regarding cash payments, things have slightly improved due to covid. Many places that did not use to accept cards/phones now do but there's still a ways to go.

And then of course there are many smaller places that only accept cash payments for the same reason they only enter half of your order into their cash register.
When Angela Merkel stated that "the internet is undiscovered land for all of us" (Das Internet ist für uns alle Neuland), she was mocked. Also by myself. Now I am convinced she just stated a fact, a true one at that. As sad as it is.

It seems obvious that USAID is an intelligence front (I've encountered a few instances where it was mentioned that someone worked for USAID at the time, while it was simultaneously obvious that it would make way more sense if they were Intelligence), but is there any concrete evidence for that?

I didn’t read the article fully but the parts of those two papers that are public and available to me (see Extended data Fig.4 comment at the bottom of the first paper), those do not talk about turning off a gene that encodes MTDH.

The paper is talking about a compound (two compound candidates) that inhibit binding of two proteins: AEG-1 (encoded by MTDH) and SND1, those compounds do that by binding to either AEG-1’s or SND1’s site where otherwise SND or AEG-1 would have bind, and they likely do this with stronger bond than SND1 and AEG1 would have had.

So in short, this compound does not leave you without some vital protein but disrupt formation of some bonds with SND1 protein.

The problem is we will never know what really happened.

This model leads to a necessary accrual of credit to more senior researchers because the default assumption is to assume credit of a group to the more senior individual.

The problem is there's no way (or less way) for the less senior individual to establish credit unless they are publishing on their own, which isn't feasible.

In this way, group efforts tend to trickle toward the person in the senior position, and credit accrues to people in management of large groups irrespective of where ideas are coming from or who is doing the work. We say "someone is a great scientist" because they have an administrative position with reference to a large group.

Whoever has the most papers with the largest groups wins.
Not the author of the comment, but I dance socially and from what I've seen and experienced it varies wildly depending on the dancers, style of dance, context etc etc.

Eg Sensual Bachata and Urban Kiz are embracing in a intimate way that can be difficult to get used to, but while it may look very overreaching to most people, overwhelmingly, it's really not sexual at all.

Your point on cloudflare is something I'm grappling with for an application I'm working on. On one hand I would love the simplicity of something like cloudflare pages or vercel etc. Their preview links on pull requests and automatic deployments would make frontend work very convenient. But on the other hand I have exactly your concerns about warrants. Is there some nice middle ground to avoid completely manual builds and deployment on a VM? Maybe some convenient CI, but this service would also need an ssh key to be able to deploy, so we're in a similar situation again I suppose.

Edit: I spent some time thinking about it and might as well document it here if someone finds it interesting.
For context, my application does client side encryption with keys stored only in the browser. The catastrophic case would be if the frontend application is modified to extract those keys. That's why I don't necessarily trust a hosted option (which typically needs control of the SSL certificate as well).
Instead I would like to serve the client from a server under my control.

One solution is to use Github Actions and have it automatically deploy via ssh. This doesn't really increase my attack surface, since the code is already at Github anyway. So if this platform is compromised / warranted they could modify my application to their liking.

A second solution would be to use any CI service and restrict the capabilities of the ssh key in the `authorized_keys` to only trigger a fixed command without actually being able to log in. The command would pull the code / image and deploy. This way a compromised key could only be used to trigger a new deployment of authentic code, not inject malicious code.
I worked on an event sourced system once, many years ago.

I'm not saying I hate the separation of write and read models, and all the challenges that brings (heck, the platform I'm working on now does that, and it's not a big deal), but it was massively bloated and overly complex for a system that would collect some data from users, submit it to a panel of third party services, and display results back to those users.

The reasons for going this route were complex, and not entirely clear to me, although I can pick on two: firstly, they'd run into performance and scalability issues with their existing CRUD-ish SQL Server-backed implementation and, secondly, Thoughtworks told them it would be a good idea.

I don't want to handwave this away but I've encountered enough insoluble SQL Server performance issues over the years to be confident those issues could have been solved much more simply (and the same is likely true for Oracle, Postgres, et al). I'm not suggesting that intractable performance issues don't exist on relational platforms, just that most times people think they've encountered one, they're mistaken.

Would I use event sourcing again? Maybe. But I'd need a really strong use case for it, and I'd certainly kick the tyres on any technical organisation that was using it before I joined.
While those programs certainly existed this is blatant a false equivocation, you can still have humanitarian programs while being a military hegemony. It's not one or the other.

This is in fact a distinct reason CIA/NSA (and vice versa) won't accept recruits who have served in the peace corp previously, amongst other reasons.

This whole thing is based on the supposition that supporting diversity is the right move from a business perspective. If someone came to you with hard evidence that said removing gender from bathrooms would bring in 10 trans students and cause you to lose 50 other students, would your DEI action be to keep gendered bathrooms?

That’s rhetorical, DEI statements are absolutely about pledging a particular type of political alignment and a university would get absolutely skewered if it got caught optimizing for student body count over diversity.

> This happens when there is a glut of qualified candidates relative to demand - as there is for junior devs.

But, the process doesn't materially change when companies are looking for senior or mid-level developers, except that they then start adding system design rounds.

Incidentally, I just had a thought: if there really is a glut of junior developers relative to demand, shouldn't that push down wages? It seems like there's some sort of market failure at work, but I'm not quite sure exactly what's causing it.
Agree. Else, they'd have been my default choice.

When it appeared, RISC did not claim to be something distinct from (vertical) microcoding.

Because at that time it became feasible to have fast cache memories for instructions, the speed of executing a sequence of instructions from the instruction cache became the same as the speed of executing the equivalent sequence of (vertical) microinstructions from a microcode memory.

Because microcoding complex instructions could no longer provide any speed advantage, the RISC proponents advocated the removal of the complex instruction decoder and of the microcode memory and the use of the space thus freed for faster execution units and larger cache memories.

So RISC CPUs were conceived as just (vertically) microcoded CPUs which exposed the micro-operation ISA directly to the programmer, instead if using it for implementing a complex ISA to be used by the programmer.

A few years later, the VLIW CPUs appeared as an alternative for RISC, which were conceived as CPUs with a horizontal micro-operation ISA exposed directly to the programmer.
That is operating cost, which the article I linked described as one of the ways that comparisons use to skew data.

This seems like a policy change that targets Project Veritas. Not surprising since many of their leaks have been damaging to the political left, which Twitter and its employees (including the old and new CEOs) are politically biased towards.

I see nothing wrong with that. Bookies have been making a living for a long time trading numbers on slips of paper. Gamblers in Las Vegas make a living in the games. The stock market has been described as a casino.

The skepticism I feel is about the web3 meme and the additional meme that it must be good because old people don't understand it. Web3 is a basket of experimental technologies that may or may not bear fruit, but don't tell me it's so new that skeptics are people who are incapable of understanding it. I'm looking for more detail and I get a lot of hand waving. But I'm open to it.

> To simplify a bit, engines (whether neural network or classical engines) always play with the implicit assumption that they play against the best response of an equally strong opponent.

This is a bit of a simplification! Neural net engines generally use Monte Carlo Tree Search over a pure minimax/alpha-beta search. MCTS rewards moves that lead to wins in all explored variations, not just the best play for each player.

Your point is still true though: computers still aren't able to reliably find "this will be the most testing line in a practical game against a human opponent". They're too far ahead of us: the MCTS leads to better results against computers of similar strength, but doesn't accurately predict where humans will go wrong. Humans (with computer help) are still better at that.
> It means they are unquestionably pushing the state of art fowards. Or the system is completely broken.

I agree with this statement: the system is completely broken.

I've peered inside top level conferences and I can tell you that publishing there does not mean you are pushing the state of the art. Instead you may be: popular, good at playing the political game, lucky (when acceptance rates are low, luck plays a huge part - and why they are low is a story in itself), good at writing marketing copy rather than doing science, engaging in corruption to get your paper accepted, or playing to the gallery in a way that might even harm science.

More widely, if your field is 99% politicians and 1% scientists, then the _scientific_ barrier to entry at an elite conference is not going to be a good endorsement of your work.
The problem isn't the incremental nature of the papers or the collaboration, it's the equating of scientist quality with numbers of publications (or something like it).

By your own analogy, it would be like saying "someone is a great computer scientist" based on the number of commits they or their colleagues make.

I might even argue that regardless of how the product is or is not improved by the process, the way we attribute credit is worse.

If you move to a collaborative incremental process but still talk in terms of specific individuals as the source, rather than a group, there's a problem.
> Each one must be a serious contribution

I'm sorry to inform you that this is untrue. Elite conferences are full of work that is _scientifically_ awful and does not contribute anything to _science_.

>This lack of diversity is unacceptable.

To whom? You can always start your own FOSS project and include more varied people/genders. You cannot dictate what others do on their own time/dime as a passion project/hobby.

Did these people attempted to get into OSS and failed, were not welcomed, etc?

That would be a criterion that makes sense. Else it's either a non-issue (they simply elect not to, for whatever cultural or other reasons) or an upstream issue (e.g. educational).

People feeling not welcome in some FOSS project can always start their own project (and be as inclusive as they wish).

If Lynne Jolitz could get into FOSS in 1992, others can do it in the much more sensitive and inclusive tech/general culture of 2021.

I know this is supposed to mock the metaverse-thing. And the first time I heard about the metaverse, my reaction was: "what a colossal pile of dog shit". My opinion hasn't changed even the slightest. Like why? What sort of sane human beings would put themselves through that? I had this discussion with a friend on Sunday. The sad part is that he agrees with me but said that he was willing to bet that people would blow hundreds of thousands on virtual nft crap for metaverses. Which, even after having worked 8 years in the gaming industry(and seeing the 5-6 figure amounts people spending on in-app purchases) up until not all that long ago, seemed like bs. So we made a bet. Next morning an article pops up about someone spending 600+k on a virtual yacht. I mean what the hell is wrong with people?

While it goes without saying that wishes not to be hugged should be respected, and cultural norms differ, and the Western way of doing things is not the "correct" way that should be forced unto others

in the case of hugging

I can't help but think that the absence of hugging (romantic or casual friendly etc) and handshaking (formal or casual high fives etc) really is sad and really DOES rob people in China, Korea, Japan etc of one of life's simple pleasures and high points of the day

I too like you am a European who spent many years in East Asia (Japan, but I have many Korean and Chinese friends and have visited those countries too) and while I definitely had some uncomfortable hugs and handshakes, overwhelmingly, a good hug or handshake would produce big grins, squeals of joy, instant warmth and connection etc etc, irrespective of gender, age, whether between friends or complete strangers - despite language and cultural barriers.

Without exaggerating, sometimes it's almost as if you're allowing someone to experience something they've been denied their whole life and people just gobble it up and look like they've had an epiphany or something.

In case it seems like I'm just making this up in my own mind, I don't think so, because many, many people have told me that the rigid norms banning most types of affection from public life, and even in the home, is one of their pet peeves about their own culture and society.

Maybe there is some selection bias in that foreigners tend to be surrounded by people who are OK with or interested in or prefer the foreign way of doing things, but I don't think so either, I lived in an area with very few if any foreigners and have many friends who don't speak English and don't have much if any interest in going abroad etc, and they would still say the same thing.

I'm acutely aware of how cringe the above might sound but rest assured it's not because I think I'm some hot or cool guy or whatever. Just a human being who likes hugs and handshakes. Each to their own and YMMV!

The fact that CPUs internally have microcode doesn't mean there's a different RISC CPU lurking underneath that you could just take the lid off of. In particular, the instruction decoder, which is what you're proposing to change, is not implemented in microcode; that would just be way too slow.

An x86 CPU is made for executing x86 instructions.
