The HIV virus has been sequenced 10's of thousands of times, and all those sequences are in the database that was searched. Likewise, there are thousands of copies of the E. coli proteome in the sequence databases. The nr database, part of which was searched, is extremely redundant (despite the fact that 'nr' stands for "non-redundant" -- no two identical sequences).

So unless you go to a lot of trouble (e.g. the NCBI landmark database), most sequence databases are a mixture of 10's to 10,000's of very closely related sequences (not a random sample), from a non-random sample of organisms (we tend to sequence pathogens).

Protein and DNA sequence databases are very large, but they are not random.
I have a great deal of experience in running very large memory-mapped databases using LMDB.

The default Linux settings dealing with memory mapped files are pretty horrible. The observed poor performance is directly related to not configuring several very important kernel parameters.

People are allowed to be wrong. If you want to do something about that, the thing to do (on this site) is to respectfully provide correct information.

I don't know what you mean by "confronted", but usually people have in mind something like the online callout/shaming culture. We don't want that there. Snark, name-calling, flaming, putdowns, and so on, are against the HN guidelines. They're also not in your interest, because (a) they don't persuade, and (b) they discredit your view in the eyes of neutral observers.

So why is anyone wasting money trying to innovate on this technology in the US?

Surely there is some other nation state that is less risk averse and open to nurturing innovation.
I guess fascists who want to prove that they can render their swastika on an Antix machine no matter what the developers do.
The correct translation depends on the context, but I think the English expression with the most overlap is “I love you”, with the understanding that the overlap is imperfect because the English phrase can, in some but not all contexts, imply a stronger emotion than the Spanish one.

“Te quiero” is an extremely common stock phrase in Spanish, whereas nobody really says “I care about you” in English, so I think that choice of “the best translation” is unsatisfying.

> do you really think that it's not a basic assumption that a government service is tax funded?

My impression is that they are fully aware but they don't want, for whatever reason, to come right out with the "taxes are theft" framing. The astounding irony of posting these messages using a set of technologies and infrastructure originated via taxes collected and then used by the government makes my head hurt.
Personally I think they're all in that boat. No US representatives have impressed me

Not to mention politicians lie to get elected anyhow. They all make empty bullshit promises, so even if they did offer something impressive its doubtful any of them would or could follow through. The fact that they want to stay in power means they keep lying or misrepresenting things in order to keep the votes flowing in
The abstract of the study states, "These findings cannot be explained by any known risk factor for MS and suggest EBV as the leading cause of MS."
Well, everything can be explained in one way or another but the idea is that there's no direct translation to get the full meaning. My favorite is the German word schadenfreude which clearly has no direct translation into English. It means something like pleasure derived by someone from another person's misfortune. Notice how many words it takes to explain it...

This update changes the PSI implementation (path semantical logic) to use a safe model of path semantical quality. The problem previously was how to handle reflexivity without symbolic distinction (this is beyond IPL - constructive logic). Now we have a safe subset of path semantics that works with IPL and also already proved some useful results for further research on Seshatism.

A failure rate of ~once every two years is so tiny compared to the rate of failure introduced by other things (from human error, on up); and for many time-related things being off by a second is irrelevant (or again tiny compared to all the other sources of noise in measuring time). So it seems reasonable to me to ignore leap seconds in the vast majority of projects.

That said, modern cloud environments do hide this problem for you with leap smearing [1], which seems like the ideal fix. It'd be nice to see the world move to smeared time by default so that one-day = 86400 seconds stays consistent (as does 1 second = 10e9 nano-seconds); but the length of the smallest subdivisions of time perceived by your computer varies intentionally as well as randomly.

I understand that people don't want to get infected, but that doesn't change the reality that everyone will be exposed.

The virus isn't going away. No one will be able to avoid it without living as a hermit. The CDC estimated that about 44% of Americans had already been infected as of October 2021 and with the more contagious Omicron variant now circulating we're probably well over 50%.

Additional home testing is largely a feel-good measure. It might ease some people's anxiety but won't significantly change the course of the pandemic.
Shameless plug: if you find yourself wanting more advamced custom painting, you can try http://trunk.io, which provides you with three different ways to write your own linters (pass/fail based on your script's exit code, spit out a patch that should be applied to your code, or LSP diagnostics) that can get propagated to VSCode and CI (as well as just as a CLI tool, if that's your preference).

In reality, sqlx [1], probably the most popular SQL library for Rust, has a query! format string that ensures that all parameters are properly escaped. As far as I can tell, you can't use the new format string support to create SQL queries with that macro yet, so there is no security problem. When that's fixed and query! is updated for the new format string support, I'm certain that they will escape their parameters, so there will be no security problem then either.

Because all format strings are in macro context, where the macro has full control over what to do with all substituted parameters, Rust already has sanitized string interpolation. In terms of that JEP, the macro invocation is the policy object.

4 per "home" -- but in the US the average number of people per household is a bit above 2.5. Similarly 500M tests in a country of 330M people. Both get us to more than 1 but less than 2 test per person. But to make a difference at a public health level, shouldn't we be testing regularly? If you have one test you have to decide when you're going to use it, which will surely be after you're symptomatic. If you want asymptomatic people to realize they're carrying it around, we have to provide enough tests that they can check regularly.

Yes, for those with private insurance it's good that in principle one can be reimbursed for buying home test kits (starting tomorrow) but good luck finding them! When I traveled recently I checked 3 pharmacies, and got responses ranging from "try again next week" to "we've been out of stock for 2 months".
Talk me through how that gets to a court order to release source code. What legislation or precedents are there for that? If there aren't any, how would a judge arrive at that decision?
> In the long run everyone will be exposed regardless of whether they go to their favorite hangouts or not. That is our reality.

This can be said of every cold and flu season. Yet people still go out of their way to avoid those who are sick, and people who have symptoms stay home. You probably wouldn't want someone with the flu to cough in your face, even though the symptoms are mild and the mortality is low.

covid is much more infectious than the flu. it makes sense to test and quarantine if you are positive.

The soviets were building street lamps and making cookery and razor blades out of titanium… the USSR was the biggest producer of titanium in the world and on the other hand Russian steel metallurgy was quite poor.

The US had far better steel and they didn’t had a lot of experience with a Titanium, when the US learned that the Russians were building submarines out of titanium they weren’t surprised because they thought they couldn’t afford it they knew that the USSR had more titanium than what they knew what to do with it but because the US couldn’t figure out how to weld large titanium structures in atmospheric air.

Welding titanium is a PITA and the Russians simply had far more experience with it after having the luxury of working with it at scale for decades.

As for carriers yes it was a conscious decision because they couldn’t build large enough carriers to have a sufficiently large air wing to cover them at all time and because they knew they can’t compete with the size of a US carrier group.

A Russian carrier was designed to operate as a much smaller task force than a US carrier group and so it had to pull its own weight when it came to surface combat.

The US on the other hand could afford to build a lot of super carriers and field more than enough ships to support them in battle.

If the Soviets could build carriers the size of a US carrier and wield a fleet large enough to support a similarly sized carrier group they would’ve have.
Mainstream in this case meaning legitimate.
There was a race condition leak with users sessions that has now been fixed. It now gives a relevant answer for this question.
There are lots of reasons why a startup might fail. Technical competence and disorganization are way, way down the list.

In my experience engineering at successful startups is often subpar. A successful startup engineer is above all productive, flexible, creative, and ships often. Their code gets the job done but probably wouldn't pass muster at a corporate job.

Management at startups is always flailing about. If things aren't working, then you should be taking random stabs at doing something else. If things are working, you probably have many more problems you did yesterday and you should feel under-resourced.

Your original post mentions something about laws being passed to outlaw your business model. That seems much more concerning.

But in any case, here's what I'd look for

* Is there a market for the thing we're doing?

* Is our iteration fast and are we learning from what we do?

* Do I trust the people I work with? Do they seem ethical?

Even if someone here wants to oppose the idea of an ethical business, consider that there are about 10,000 ways to get screwed over as a startup employee and you want the people in charge to resist doing those things to you.

At Request of U.S., Russia Rounds Up 14 REvil Ransomware Affiliates
Does the United States current recognize plural folks as a protected class? Do we even have the infrastructure to recognize them in any meaningful fashion? To extrapolate on that, how much research has gone into understanding the dysphoria that these people experience? Do we have a medical basis of understanding when it comes to how plural systems affect the mind? Do we even know if it's healthy to address plural systems as their individual components?

I apologize in advance if this sound antagonistic, but putting plural identities on the same levels as queer and trans ones seems... a little premature, if you ask me.
I have published research code a couple of times. I did this out of principle because I believe in knowledge sharing and collaborative science.

But to be honest, I am truly underwhelmed by the response. For several papers I created Jupyter notebooks that reproduce every single figure in the paper. It has been a huge amount of work. But in spite that the papers with code are reasonably often cited, I’ve been getting only minimal feedback.

So it‘s really difficult to judge whether the effort of properly preparing the code is worth the effort.

On the other hand I have run into several papers that turned out to be not reproducible without the code. Chances are that these particular papers would not have been reproducible with the code, too :D (there were just too many things not adding up). But it would have saved us a lot of time if the code would have been available.

Tl;dr: make the code available, but don‘t invest too much time in polishing it. Hardly anyone is going to thank you.

One exception: if you want to impress future employers, polishing code is worth it. A good portfolio on GitHub can open doors.
> They're not "Free". They're paid with wages taken from people.

Yes, it's “free” as in “freeway”. Most people understand that most government services are paid for using tax revenue — it's not enlighting to highlight this, especially when it's a tiny fraction of overall government spending and the average taxpayer will see far more benefit from this than, say, an F-35. Right now, lots of people have to worry about whether activities are safe or they should seek medical care — these tests are not perfect but if used they will definitely reduce spread and do so in a way which is less stressful than inefficiently polling CVS stores.
Indeed.

When I first started dating someone who is natively bilingual in English and (Northern Mexican) Spanish, she didn’t yet feel strongly enough about me to say “I love you” in English, so she always told me “te quiero”, as there was no English phrase other than “I love you” that fit in that niche.

I also think the article is wrong, but I disagree with both your points (as scientist myself). Verifiable evidence does not need to be verifiable by some threshold percentage of the population. If that was the case, most math PhD thesis would not be verifiable. Also, writing under a pseudonym is quite understandable given the polemic nature of the topic. If anything, I think we should have more people writing under pseudonyms than less. We could end up with a lot more interesting ideas circulating. The peer review itself must of course be done by trustworthy third parties, but the source of the text need not be.
Chaos is more often signs of a suceeding startup than a failing one. Often the demand is too high and tech debt is taken on.

Pivoting is not bad either, it's practically the job scope of early stage startups.

The main symptom I've seen of failing startups is trying to look good. e.g. you're asked to buy products and reimbursed for it, adding features of no value to customers but valuable to investors.

> Engagement around conflict works at all age ranges though.

I've noticed that the best way to get people to engage in a problem is to state an opinion that is so obviously wrong. People go out of their way to tell you that it's wrong and what their opinion is. If you post something that's sort of wrong, partially right, or probably right, people won't lift a finger.

Try this with your next code review! :D Do something the wrong way and everyone wants to correct you. I've noticed after I've corrected such a problem, people are silent about the rest of the code review, or get lazy about finishing it.

What you are seeing here with the labor market is essentially the same thing we are seeing with real estate. It is a liquidation and recapitalization into a higher asset class. People selling their homes, cashing out and using their equity to get a larger home with a larger basis for appreciation.

Similarly for the labor market, employees taking their experience and recapitalizing into other roles with better benefits and pay.

What you see is effectively a greater polarization between those who do well and those who don’t. See amazons de facto policy of give the top tier best benefits, raised and comp and to hell with the rest.

So where do things end up? Well, the rich get richer. Ultimately everyone moves up since there’s such a demand for (houses|labor). However as we see with first time home buyers, it gets harder, those who are paying more end up demanding more.

Furthermore there is a never ending supply of labor which is why companies like Amazon are not taking this as seriously as you’d expect. There will always be H1b de facto slavery which creates a large inventory pool. However the “housing” is effectively top tier employees which command top dollar.

Ultimately I don’t think the system changes except for the best of the best. Because as always it is very supply constrained.

In my case I'm writing C++ because I want to use a library implemented in C++.

Well, embedded within the term disinformation is an accusation, so thank you for clarifying.
May be important to note that "hyper indoctrination" vs. memorizing too much at once leads to rigidity or inefficiency and recall - and so breaking down those walls a bit may allow info to be more easily accessed; e.g. alcohol makes someone "looser" - their stable pathways for memorization that have been developed over an open mind (neural network) vs. critical thinking development [where there aren't lists to memorize but you're exposed instead to concepts, patterns, and frameworks - and naturally you remember automatically because there's enough interest when you're reading it (and strength of importance derived from the underlying interconnectivity/passion, vs. forcing yourself to memorize because it's on a test).
