Bluntly speaking, as a taxpayer of country A I don’t care if country B benefits. It’s okay if they do but as a taxpayer of country A I wouldn’t like my money to be spent on solving country’s B issues.

I agree with your general premise, though.
Not without dropping into VBA, at least last I looked. The cell dependency graph should form a DAG. If there is a cycle, it will break (Excel will detect this). A common way to produce a "loop" is to create a row for each iteration depending on the one above (which can actually be handy to see convergence and intermediate values). This means there's no way to do something like:

// initial
A1 = 0
A2 = 100 (the limit)
A3 = =A3+A1 (self referential, 0 initial)
// somehow
A1 = 1
A2 = 100
A3 = =A3+A1 == 1

If you could refer to previous values it might be possible, but would also force some synchronization into the process that might be problematic. Like you'd need A1 to only update after A3 has had a chance to read it, then the next, then the next.
"Platforms with at least 250,000 Australian users would need to set up a local entity to handle complaints from users about potentially defamatory comments, including dealing with requests for information about the identity of an anonymous commenter to enable an alleged victim of online defamation to sue the person directly."

Presumably the government will force ISPs to block companies that don't set up a local company ready to be sued. The ability to block sites was of course sold to the public as a necessary measure for dealing with terrorist and child pornographers - not it'll just be used for, well, whatever.

The thing that surprises me is that no matter how hard the Australian government tightens the ratchet against tech companies, they never just pull out of Australia.

It's like all the overseas tech companies like taking a whipping from the Australian government and come back for more.

It's plausible this is actually a good outcome for the library in many cases: They can buy a new book at the loss of a worn one. Depending on the popularity of the book, they might rather spend it on another book anyways.

Modern libraries would need to include the prep cost in the acquisition cost though, which puts it above retail. Libraries often pay to have new books pre-catalogued, barcoded, and covered.

What I don't really get is why the U.S. supposedly structured to avoid such militarization has given in the fear and allowed such militarization to happen and propagate oppressive state arm usage. Every encounter with the police is expectedly a gunfight waiting to happen. Any just improperly trained officer is a danger to everyone around them (gun, plus gun ho culture, plus immunity plus possibly (per state/County) lack of supervision).

I grew up thinking it was normal for an trainee officer or at formal events for an officer to not have a gun. It was an expected cultural disappointment to see an officer walks in with a gun on university grounds in the U.S. (not shock...).

Case in point: European police to call about ak47 carrying robber hitting during the night a bank to the security guard: stay away and we will investigate and catch him later (they did, no gunfight)

U.S.: Suicidal person holding no hostages at some store and asking for people to call the police to kill him: the two officers charge in and start a gunfight almost getting killed(just pick one of the posted YouTube body cam videos...)
I am just speechless.
Twitter’s ad targeting is so bad. As bad as the bottom of clickbait topical articles. They currently rely on volume and “clicks.” They have a reputation of being a very cheap CPM ad platform… and that is not a good thing. For an ad-driven business with clear interest indicators, it is astonishing that Twitter hasn’t addressed this advertiser quality problem. Low hanging fruit at their revenue bottle neck.
I would say it's the opposite - those who have experience with complex systems understand how hard it is to accurately model them. And the climate models have shown that - take a look at the "global warming hiatus" from 2015. Major journals published evidence to explain the hiatus, then a few years later the conclusion was "there was no hiatus". It's pretty clear we can't even accurately tell what level of warming is happening.
> It was a reaction to the previous administration's foreign policy strategy, which was to position America as less of a world leader and more of a partner.

Happen to know of any direct discussion of this being the intent behind that slogan from the Trump administration? Especially from Trump himself?
I have a friend who about 15 years ago was told he was going to die from melanoma in about a year.

Within that first year he was put on a trial that added another 2 or so years to his life. Then during that time another experimental treatment was created and tested on him and that gave him another couple of years. A decade and a half later here we are, he still has cancer but his family (wife and two kids) has got to keep him around a while longer.

He’s been “patient one” on a number of studies, some have helped him extend his life expectancy, others have done nothing. Sometimes he has the mental and physical energy to start a trial and other times he does not.

The cancer has never gone away, and there have been so many moments of false hope that I’m never really sure where he sits mentally anymore (he really doesn’t want to talk about cancer when we’re together and I don’t think anyone can blame him) but I know he’s grateful for the chance to add more time onto his life when the experimental treatments are available.
This seems to be open to massive perverse "unintended" outcomes as it is like a form of DMCA for "individuals" who can strike down images that threaten the established narrative. I can imagine the video and images of journalists and civilians being shot by soldiers as Chelsea Manning exposed being memory holed. Or the video of Australian soldiers killing Afghan children and civilians.

All of those uses have been common in standard American English for decades if not longer. Singular they is nothing new at all.
Those things were developed in the 19th century, so clearly the founders didn't find police (even without those principles) problematic.

But those things are not controversial. I think what happened to this lady is terrible and her case is correct.

What I'm pointing out is the hypocrisy of the people who are ACAB but then supported tens of thousands of troops guarding the Capitol ("ol" not "al") and an expansion of a real national military police on silly, false pretexts.
Kinda need to have you elaborate on 'poor' here.

"Functional Python Programming: Discover the power of functional programming, generator functions, lazy evaluation, the built-in itertools library, and monads, 2nd Edition" was a great read =>https://www.amazon.com/Functional-Python-Programming-program...
The article seems to suggest that they only just found a compound which will interfere with the gene's action. So up until now, there was nothing to test.

The 2014 result only showed that gene editing before birth might prevent cancers.
In fact, you said more than that, hence my quote—which is a real quote, unlike the made up one in your comment—the words you're attributing to the person you reference don't appear anywhere in their comment. (Also, separately, that's not really an appropriate use of the idiom to miss the memo.)

I will admit that I don't know what your point is. Are you under the impression that the Java platform is lightweight?

In addition to your spurious claims about native code:

If we can get some new tools for the fight against cancer in the next few decades, this will be just so huge. It feels like we're right on the edge of this possibility. Now if we can just avoid the red tape along the way.
Very cool! Fantastic that they were able to do this in silicon nitride, as that'll make commercialization and scalability much easier. Nitride is one of the more common MEMS manufacturing materials, and from the (admittedly tiny, which makes sense since they're trying to commercialize) fabrication section of the paper it seems like they're using a standard RIE process to manufacture the optical posts. I'm interested to know how they controlled for the isotropy of the plasma process without using DRIE, which is frequently used for these kinds of high aspect-ratio devices.
Indeed, Kelly Thomas, brutally murdered by Fullerton police, was not black. And furthermore, his dad was a police officer.

Sometimes I wonder if BLM may actually be a pro-criminal-police conspiracy to divide the population by re-framing the police brutality problem into a racial issue.

As a non-American I've always wondered why the Walter Whites of America don't pull a Terminator on a police station after learning that their family members have been brutally executed by police officers.

The last I've really heard of someone doing that in America was the guy who flew his plane into the IRS building.

My point of view is that I support people's right to wear any shirt they want.

I don't think if people want to wear any shirt, even one specifically designed to fool garbage AI, that it is their fault that a car suddenly decides to kill people. If you want to sell a car it must be smart and safe enough to ignore any T-Shirt, poster or painting in it's vicinity, just like my old, non-garbage non-AI car.

If you can't do that, then you can't sell cars without being sued into oblivion. And that's the way it should be. Messing with street signs is already illegal. But wearing a shirt, no matter what it has on it, is not.
Huntington's is an invariably fatal disease, which is caused by the repetition of a single gene, which overexpresses a single protein. It's about as simple as genetics get. When we've cured that, I'll say we have working gene therapy.
my impression: (maybe a dentist could chime in) It’s rare that we need to replace teeth because the repair of teeth has gotten so good that for the most part. So long as you are able to get to a decent dentist, they can fix them well enough you shouldn’t need to ever to regrow anything.
It's sort of an interesting problem from a purely inferential perspective: for most problems, if you want to estimate the probability of X, you just go observe and see how often X appears.

There's issues about the estimate to place with zero observations from a sample (e.g., https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rule_of_succession), but basically you'd have 0 or some very small number.

So why don't we just take it as 0, or ϵ?

The reason is because we doubt our observational ability. So then the question becomes "is the zero because nothing is out there, or because we can't observe it?"

I guess it's interesting to me because it's a salient case of where our confidence in inferential paradigms breaks down in a very obvious way. Either that, or we are uncomfortable with its implications. Or both.
that feels like it's close, I like it

Interesting. I wonder the reason for this

This is totally contrived, but I want to believe that this project is a learning project that the creator started to use F# to write a compiler. Perhaps the creator is experienced with imperative programming using C and wanted to do more programming in F#

The reason to do such a thing is that implementing a compiler in a functional programming language results in very elegant functional code. There's an "Aha!" moment when you drop the imperative way of thinking and see how functional thinking can be expressive and concise, yet so very different

I could see myself doing the same thing. It's a seductive intellectual challenge, difficult but achievable, to learn functional programming and write a compiler from scratch

It's your right to be wrong
Excel supports iterative calculations, which allows you to use circular references. If you enable it, you need to specify a maximum number of iterations excel will run on each update. I believe you can also specify a minimum delta which will cause Excel to terminate early if subsequent iterations differ by less than the delta. I suspect the reason you need to press f9 repeatedly is this project uses circular references, but running your program takes longer than the maximum number of iterations, so pushing f9 allows it to run for another set of iterations.
to be fair, that's a pretty valuable lesson to learn out here. it would be neat if we had a system we could rely on.

Hack Reactor was excellent and most of my cohort was hired within three months.

The amount I learned in the compressed time frame was everything I needed to do the job as a jr. front end dev.

Unfortunately, the coding interview is a whole other beast and HR spends the last week of the session focusing on the job search and interview skills. They do offer job search support for up to six months post graduation. The job market was competitive in 2018 and I also believe I, a 40-something white man, was demographically challenged in the marketplace. I was also looking for work in the Bay Area, the most competitive location possible - where others of my cohort could be more flexible with regards to location. That, plus my interview skills are weak and I was counting on getting lucky or a fair interview.

Now that everything is remote, I think you can widen your search net to companies outside of SF, leading to hopefully better odds.

I would still highly recommend Hack Reactor but expect your job search may take up to six months (in my case eight!)

Well, functional languages are often considered a great choice for a compiler, but C is simpler to implement to F#, I'd imagine. The README says it has unfinished F# support too.
That makes sense, I've never made use of that. Apparently that was available as early as Excel 2007, I've just never come across it and haven't used Excel for much more than a scratchpad in years now.
I just realised it has a an FAQ: https://archive.ph/faq

It's fun read:

> How is the archive funded?

> It is privately funded; there are no complex finances behind it. It may look more or less reliable compared to startup-style funding or a university project, depending on which risks are taken into account.

but doesn't seem to be very up to date

> Will advertising appear on the archive one day ?

> I cannot make a promise that it will not. With the current growth rate I am able to keep the archive free of ads. Well, I can promise it will have no ads at least till the end of 2014.

although true.
Australia challenges Facebook to back anti-troll defamation law
As a gun guy, Branca has been great in navigating the laws that every American gun owner should know. He's a grifter, but he makes a very valuable product.

Barnes is obviously extremely smart, worth the big bucks, but definitely requires big money to hire.

Nick Rekieta himself is a fun guy, and I'm really glad he took off. He's re-sparked my nascent interest in criminal law, and it's great to see a lawyer dad who's up on his memes.

The rest of the panel is fun, not always super helpful, but the value of the panel was great. Good to see something new in the world of streaming.

Long read, but some real gems in there. The ideas that seem to animate Miyazaki’s movies, if you’ll pardon the pun, feel a lot like the ideas that animate most of Jordan Peterson’s lectures. Life is a relentless and unmitigated tragedy, and yet we manage to find (or create!) beauty and wonder all over the place. The author seems to think this acute awareness of the paradox that is life comes from growing up in postwar Japan; I can see how that experience might have been a major influence.

So, not a scientist here, and I know this is not their research direction, but would a gene therapy be possible using something like CRISPR to just "edit out" the MTDH gene? I know we are kind of in early days for that..
Not surprising, but sort of disappointing that the writer thinks that modern Japanese culture so heavily defined by its interactions with the West, esp. from WWII. It's not that it's untrue or incorrect, it's just that Japan is more complicated than that. Lots of old paradoxes and influences that don't really lend themselves to a neat thesis. You're doomed to fall short, like when you try to explain a beautiful dream to someone who didn't see it.
Actually, I think they had no intel. You NEED intel for a judge to order a subpoena—and if a subpoena was issued, the ISP would open their firehose, and overwhelm the FBI with evidence suggesting that there’s nothing to investigate. And having visited extremist sites a handful of times—even if advertantly—is probably not going to meet the threshold for a subpoena.

If the FBI visited me and casually asked about my web history, I would casually ask them to pound sand (as should everyone!). But if the agent was accompanied with someone from my employer, I would eagerly cart up every single device in my home and offer to carry it out to their vehicle (as I fear most would).

It smells like someone is taking massive investigative shortcuts, at very significant cost to the accused. Then again, I can’t even fathom the upside for the FBI.
The strong phrasing you use in your comments betray that you are the one showing emotions here. I totally get where those are coming from, and certainty share some of your exasperation, yet I believe this world view of thin-skinned versus thick-skinned is a fantasy.
