A lot of people don't really know it, but American country music is the most commercially successful music genre worldwide and is popular in places such as southeast Asia, Mongolia, sub Saharan Africa, even India and Latin america. Europeans and city dwelling Americans love to shit on it but the world loves it, probably because it's easy to relate to lyrically and uses pleasant melodies and simple to follow rhythms. Love, heartbreak and agriculture are pretty much universal.
The paper uses 16S rDNA sequencing, which is a bit old fashioned now but it was a good method when the paper was published. The steps basically involve:

1. Extract all DNA from poop, normally using a kit that basically makes DNA stick to tiny plastic beads. You wash the beads in a bunch of different chemical solutions to isolate DNA from the original sample and purify it. There are a lot of different methods to do this.

2. Amplify a small section of DNA that's universally unique to bacteria and archaea which is used as a barcode. This barcode has some areas that change a lot across different species and some areas that don't change much.

3. Sequence the amplified DNA. The DNA sequencer determines the sequence of nucleotides in each DNA amplicon (an amplicon is a piece amplified piece of DNA). An example DNA sequence is ACCTGGCT

3. The DNA sequencer produces millions of DNA sequences in parallel and stores them and some metadata (e.g. quality and confidence measurements) in text files

4. When this paper was published, a friendly bioinformatician would have taken the text file and clustered the different sequences. Sequences 97% similar were binned together as a rough approximation of a species. Different taxonomic levels have different cutoffs, but it's all quite vague and there are better methods now that involve denoising sequences from quality measurements (e.g. dada2 method)

5. A count for each different bin is generated, and "representative sequences" for each bin are matched against taxonomic databases to see what species are present

6. Normal ecological analysis is done on the count data to calculate alpha and beta diversity or do other types of analysis. Once you have counts, it doesn't matter that the data are from bacteria instead of sheep or penguins

Newer methods involve sequencing every single bit of DNA in a sample, not just a specific region. This is called metagenomics and it's very hard to do and requires very big computers and big DNA sequencers.
Sourceforge, for all of it's name, wasn't really a place to get source - I'd say some immensely large percentage of users used it to download binaries for Windows.

He originally posted his story on kuro5hin[1]. It's an interesting read. He was interested in the worm because, for its survival, it has evolved a mechanism to disable the host's immune system in a particular way that eliminates allergies. At the time he wrote that nobody knows how the worm does it. Now that we can do similar things with monoclonal antibodies, I wonder if the mechanism is similar.

I have a couple of 4U 9 track tape drives with centronics SCSI interfaces. Pulled from 90s Sun gear from ex Federal deployment. Government stuck with tape for a long time.

rebuilding that to functional might be harder than making some hacked up sensor to run tape through.

Taking that same reading further, you’d have to acknowledge that they now try to be politically palatable to 75% of the world because the global markets are now available and rich.

Predictable public image laundering for Putin ("see? I'm a good boy! I don't want to starve half the world!") in sight of the G20 summit which will take place -surprise- in Indonesia next fall - what a coincidence.

This is as clear and succinct a statement as to why "web3" has nothing to offer as I have read.

Translation: we will rebuild existing financial institutions with a bunch of move-fast break-things poorly-regulated "difi" companies which will both intentionally and through ignorance recapitulate every flaw of the existing financial industry.

Purpose: as in the Celsius case, to intentionally exploit regulatory response time so as to extract money through opaque extra-legal and unethical exploits, intended to allow ourselves and chosen insiders to run off it, leaving deluded last-fools holding the bag.

There is literally no benefit to anyone except the VC backing the scam, who are using chaff and FOMO to farm rubes.
ordinarily, you would have to dedicate a physical pin on your device to listen for an interrupt signal from another device. MSI allows you do use existing data busses, like PCI, to send and listen for events or matched patterns on that bus, removing the need for a physical pin to signal an interrupt (in some cases)
My point was a response to the statement that baggage checking happens more than once per year. Life also happens more than once per year, and in fact it happens more often than checking baggage, right?

It’s misleading to annualize these stats because the participation rates per hour and per day are very very different. This is why sports risk is usually calculated in participation hours and not annualized, to prevent such misleading comparisons.

This is baloney. Let's look at the history

In the current legislative session [1], just counting the first page of Senate (I think you're referring to the Senate) votes listed because I'm lazy, out of the 100 votes, I see only 10 that failed. And of those passing, I didn't actually count, but a very large proportion are passing with less than 60 yeas.

Although we see a lot of political crap going on, the Congress still manages to do a lot of business.

The more reactionary elements are very concerned and talk openly about things like replacement theory as a call to action.

It’s a prime motivation for some of the more extreme positions and differentiates the 2020 right winger from a 1980 conservative.

2008: How Jobs dodged the stock option backdating bullet

https://www.cnet.com/culture/how-jobs-dodged-the-stock-optio...

tl;dr:

> In the case of Apple, not only did the board send two sacrificial lambs to slaughter, but the feds hung some pretty hefty charges on their necks to boot. The lambs in question are former Sr. VP, General Counsel, and Secretary Nancy Heinen [settled with the SEC for $2.2 million], and former CFO and director Fred D. Anderson [settled with the SEC for $3.5 million].

> The SEC's complaint focuses on the backdating of two large option grants, one of 4.8 million shares for Apple's executive team and the other of 7.5 million shares for Steve Jobs.

...

> At the end of the day, Jobs dodged a bullet because of 1) his value to Apple's shareholders, 2) his value to the U.S. economy, and 3) just plain luck that neither Apple's board nor the SEC found a smoking gun to force them to do something they didn't want to do.
My wife/family and I went on three Hawaiian cruises, each of which dealt with this in a different way:

One was out of Seattle, and stopped in Victoria, BC. It was for a reasonably full day, and Victoria is a lovely place to visit, so I’d recommend this approach if you have the time and enjoy at-sea days.

One was in and out of Oahu on NCL America[1], a cruise line which is actually US–based, and which can therefore run itineraries that only stop in US ports. This is certainly the most time-efficient, and there is a corresponding premium. Recommended if you don’t have time for the Pacific crossing and/or you don’t enjoy at-sea days.

One was in and out of Oahu but made an enormous detour to a tiny, primitive atoll in the Republic of Kiribati. Not recommended.

Of all of the Alaska, Caribbean, Hawaii, and Pacific Mexico cruises we took, these were our favorites. We would usually rent a car in each Hawaiian port and spend the days touring the islands.

[1] See https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pride_of_America, although we were on a different ship, I think the Pride of Aloha.
The intent of the TCPA was absolutely not to disallow text messages being sent for app invites. We did not spam any contacts. A user invited their sister to join them on their account by manually selecting them from their contact list. We just sent the text message via Twilio vs having the user send it themselves.

And regardless of whether you like this or not, this was not the use case the law was implemented for, which is to stop robocallers.
I think Google Voice has the ability to enable/disable call screening for a group of contacts. Maybe try it out and see if it has enough options to let you achieve the effect you want?

(Assuming you don't specifically wants POTS though.)

> their code is so special that no one else could have ever come up with it independently

I'm worried about exactly the opposite: having Copilot help me write code that seems quite generic to me, but which in fact makes my code subject to a license I don't even know about, and/or simply violates copyright.

For an open-source project this could be embarrassing but probably fixable. It gets more complicated if FAANG is doing due diligence on your company. I can see Copilot being both an accelerant and, later, a liability for startups.
The funny part is your criticism of “paper thin logic” is exactly what the original Roe v Wade decision was.
I am not talking about any particular political framework at all.

I am trying to point out that if you start from that premise you prejudice the kinds of diagnoses and solutions to any potential problem you come up with. Which is of course the exact reason that the parties who stand to gain so much wealth and power from the exercise are so desperate that this should be the default, and why to the extent there is a problem that might be solved, quick, easy and relatively cheap direct voluntary action solutions need to be hit with SWAT raids lest the power and wealth that might be attained from nebulous, slow, difficult and extremely expensive solutions which are by contrast pushed by force upon the entire planet.
Trouble is, some calls go to voicemail that you really wanted - like the doctor's office with your test results or the shop telling you your car is ready.

I've never seen people use software like Jira and similar software correctly.

I mean:

- Actually caring about the difference between task and user story

- Meaningful / accurate card descriptions

- Keeping information up-to-date on TODO lists and comments

- Projects and milestones that make sense

- Task status and workflows that make sense (besides TODO/DOING/DONE)

Nowadays, I would rather have project management software with the minimal amount features that can't be misused.

(A) to store or produce telephone numbers to be called, using a random or sequential number generator; and

It's a good view to have. HR stands for human resources. The company views you the same way as a EC2 instance. They make layoff decisions the same way they spin down servers if their AWS bill gets too high.

Calling and SMS to the US is super cheap, under a penny per minute or per text at bulk rates. Calling or texting a mobile phone in Europe is usually ten cents or more per minute/text at bulk rates.

There's also a lot fewer languages to deal with in the US, most random recipients can be scammed in English, and if you can also scam en Espanol, that probably brings you to 80%+ of a market with a lot of ability to pay over the phone. A good target market for many things.
Interrupts are a way for peripherals to signal to the CPU something happened (packet is received, audio buffer has been played and I need more data, etc. the application is device dependent). Once a cpu receives an interrupt it jumps to a predetermined interrupt service routine the OS sets up to address the situation the peripheral signaled (usually ultimately in a driver). Traditionally those are carried by individual discreet connections to the CPU ie. a set of wires signaling an interrupt level.
MSI is a way to virtualize this and have interrupts in band with the rest of the bus (Ie. Within the address space of the bus) instead of needing specific wires for each one.
Yes, they come from Cuba because the US is the closest countries with opportunities, just like many people flee to Italy from the north of Africa or from the middle east. Also cuba is a bad example because of the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cuban_Adjustment_Act and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wet_feet,_dry_feet_policy. They are incentivezed to leave the totalitarian regime of Cuba (which is not socialist to be clear) to the US. The goal of bringing up Romania and El Salvador was to show how the bad conditions at the time forced people to leave. People don't leave countries that are doing well.

Also, your friends are probably from a select group of people who came in highly educated. People who come in with 0 education (like my parents) are not treated well in America. Many of the Romanian families that I grew up with in South Florida have gone back, as America honestly isn't that great compared to what has developed in Romania over time (its pretty nice now!).
I spent months building a game in Godot only to discover that if you save a reference to a game object in the script, and the object is destroyed, the underlying engine can reuse the handle for a new object, resulting in your script pointing at the wrong object.
