I'd say a lot of today's left got radicalized during the Obama administration as it became apparent that Obama valued pragmatism and continuity rather than risking political dislocation by bringing wars to an abrupt end or major restructuring of financial markets. This might have worked great with a less ideologically driven opposition.

Unfortunately that radicalized sector has often drifted towards a kind of antipolitics because the center-left has been comparatively ineffective and unable to respond adequately to the startling rightward shift of the GOP. The Democrats tend to cling to a rules-based system as the basis of a political mandate while the Republicans have had a strategy of opportunistically rewriting the rules at the first opportunity since at least the Gingrich era. In a way I don't blame them, it keeps working for them and a lot of their voters just aren't as hung up on intellectual consistency/credibility as the Democrats. It's perfectly acceptable for political surrogates on the right to state openly and explicitly that they DGAF about anything other than winning.
I think institutions in this sense means the CDC,Who, and various governments
Their claims around Type IIS assembly are also suspect. eg in Golden Gate assembly, you choose Type IIS that reach over and cut, so the restriction site is absent from the final assembled product.

"Additionally, because the final product does not have a Type IIS restriction enzyme recognition site, the correctly-ligated product cannot be cut again by the restriction enzyme, meaning the reaction is essentially irreversible"

The choice of focusing on a particular RE pair also smells of p-hacking. Their claim that BsaI/BsmBI makes for easy mixing/matching genomes doesn't make sense in this day and age, when you can use other techniques to make hybrids more effectively (eg, you are not restricted to the natural location of those restriction enzyme sites)
Because there is a lot of money and fear involved I agree that there will be a lot of litigation, but the outcomes will be mixed at best for the copyright holders.

Lots of people have memorized lyrics to copyrighted songs but no one is suing them for the memorization. They are only suing when the memorizer is trying to make money off of the song without permission of the copyright holder. The burden of proof is on the copyright holder to prove that the builder of the model was intending to distribute IP that they did not own.
Niemann should be treated like the equivalent of a major league athlete, where FIDE as chess's governing body should have the final say as to whether Hans is allowed to compete at major tournaments instead of corporate sponsor Chess.com. The accusations of him cheating at over-the-board play have been dubious at best, and the allegations of doing so during online play are inconclusive with no smoking gun to indicate outside help. Chess.com's report[0] focused on analyzing his online games and de-emphasized his strong play in over-the-board games, and also says their report shouldn't be used as a reason for him not to play at in-person tournaments; yet do the doublespeak of banning him from the 2022 Global Championship!

While it is true that even a single small outside hint can change the outcome of a game, Niemann and the entire chess community have benefitted from practicing against increasingly stronger computer engines where play styles have adjusted to this new era as well in addition to self-funding his tuition at a private school. Many of these tournaments over the past 3 years have only been played online, and have easier access to both stronger real and virtual opponents so having a faster increase in his ELO rating than anyone previously is not outside the realm of possibility.

Defamation, while likely will be settled for much less than the stated amount, on this is case is very justified as tournaments are invite-only rather than climbing a tournament ladder by winning local/regional games. Barring an athlete based on unsubstantiated political decisions and effectively trying to destroy Niemann's livelihood should be seen as highly unethical action by Chess.com and Carlsen.

> That argument points out that genetic drift is well characterized and the presence of two closely related SARS-CoV2 variants cultured from the wet market is extremely strong evidence that is where the virus initially appeared.

I assume you're referring to Pekar et al. here? The two lineages are literally just two SNPs apart, so it's near-impossible to distinguish whether they arose from two separate introductions, or just from two super-spreading events after cryptic evolution in humans from a single earlier introduction. Pekar builds an epidemiological model that purports to find that evolution in humans is p ~ 0.5% unlikely; but that result is highly sensitive to the assumptions in that model, most notably their choice of a scale-free infection network (and thus power-law distribution of number of other people each patient infects). Robustness to that infection network isn't studied.

The author of this endonuclease fingerprint preprint also has a preprint on Pekar's model,

https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2022.10.10.511625v1

Note that I'm criticizing Pekar here, not endorsing the endonuclease preprint. I don't have a great sense of the correct Bonferroni correction (to borrow Prof. Balloux's framing) to apply to the latter's probabilities.

There are plenty of places where streets are made pedestrian-only once per week, or even multiple days per week, for farmer's markets, flea markets, etc. and they reliably bring a crowd.

In a way, getting rid of cars is the special event: increased foot traffic, food vendors, outdoor seating, and other events like markets and live music tend to follow on naturally.

Apart from pedestrian streets, you also see this in well-integrated urban parks and plazas like Union Square, Washington Square, or Bryant Park in NYC.

How so? If he's cheating, he was never actually caught in person, so probably pretty innovative, and if he's not cheating, then his career is crumbling around him at 19 and he can't possibly innovate around the #1 player and one of the largest chess organizations conspiring against him.

I don't think you've grasped the spirit of what I'm saying. In a perfect world, every interaction with a service would require exactly as much identity verification as is required to entirely, 100% prohibit people pretending to be you... but also, people being people, they would then voluntarily avoid interactions which would necessitate giving that proof.

In other words, in a perfect world, the government requires LinkedIn and similar services to put users through KYC (i.e. demand proof-of-identity+income for sign-up)... and poof! These services cease to exist, because nobody's going to give them that for only the small amount of value LinkedIn provides people.

I summarize this behaviour as "hating your customers" and it seems to be a growing trend. I think it's a corruption of just being opinionated and looking for people who are on board with your product vision (common advice that I agree with), that comes with too much market power, or consumers that are so used to being treated like shit they don't even notice anymore. But you see it now in most corporate interactions, how much they hate their customers
I was about to cruise through a yellow light today when a pickup truck in the center of a one way street abruptly decided to make a left turn across my path. (I was in the far left lane.) I slammed on my brakes and laid on my horn.

I saw his face in his mirror. As he realized the noise he was hearing was my underpowered Vespa horn protesting the needless near-calamity, a smirk of victory beamed across his face.

Guy nearly took me out today, and all I could do was trust my ABS brakes and give him Roadrunner's angriest "meep meep."

Just a comment on the "27 times more likely to die" figure. I haven't followed up the stats quoted, but the equivalent in my country (where I have read up in some detail) generally quoted is 40x. This drops dramatically when you cut out those who are unlicensed (bearing in mind this is illegal here), drunk, or in their 1st year of riding.

Which is not to say that motorcycling isn't far more dangerous than driving a car. Bikes are my sole source of transport, on poor potholed rural windy roads in an area with truly terrible standards of driving, and I'm extremely aware of the dangers every day. But the figures are hugely elevated by a few factors, all of which are trivial to eliminate (for an individual, less so for society at large).

> Results in confusion and frustration in the canine – As stated previously, under doubleblind testing, the determination of the team’s accuracy cannot be made at the time of the alert. Therefore, to provide or withhold a reward from the canine under such a condition can result in confusing and frustrating the canine, which will lead to an increase chance of incorrect responses.

Juxtapose that with the real world. I am not an expert but I sincerely doubt that K9s in airports get treats every time they correctly identify a illicit source. That is why they are trained constantly(I presume). Testing for one hour or one day will likely not have an effect on the long term ability of the dog to correctly sniff illicit sources.

The NNDDA article is addressing the "double blind attack", which in my opinion is their way of redirecting from the notion that the K9s should not be used as a gold standard to ascertain probable cause. I would have to think more on the subject to comment on reasonable suspicion. If they truly believed in the idea that handlers are benign, they would embrace the double blind process.

Data illiterate leadership

A lack of understanding of what building machine learning in production entails. How to manage a machine learning project. How to understand and interpret data. How it's not magic. How it depends on the organization's own management and curation of data quality. And even simple things like how to run a SQL query and analyze the data yourself, etc etc.

It reminds me of 10-20 years ago when a major problem at technical companies was lack of software literacy. Now that hump has been overcome by an increasing proportion of the economy (nowhere near perfect, but it's better than it was!).

Trying to convince people 20 years ago that software had a different development lifecycle than hardware was an uphill battle because leadership trusted what worked for them in the past. Now we have that problem with software aware leaders that don't want to change how they work to learn how to productionize machine learning.

You're right, Google have long been incompetent at managing user generated anything. They should probably stop building things that depend on it, because they're so bad at it.
It'd be much like trying to recover money stolen by a drug addict though. Instant bankruptcy and proportionally nothing recovered, to the point that it's not even really worth it.
It seems most likely that there is some static analysis being done to the binary here, or maybe some instrumented JVM that "poisons" bytes that come from the contact list and traces them to see if they ever land on disk or sent on the network. Clearly Google doesn't ban every app with that combination of permissions.

Not sure sorry, curious as to why you're looking for that format? I'd be very surprised if you could tell the difference in a double blind in a "normal" listening situation between 141 and 251. I may be judging you a little bit if you're using youtube as the source for your fancy music listening setup. That difference is the sort of thing where I'll notice on some nice cans in a song that's not particularly compressible, but even then probably only when ABXing or actively listening for artifacts. It's definitely not going to impact my vibe.

I'm genuinely curious about your usecase.
€450.

It's still $329 in the US, which is €336 here, or €413 after tax. So it's 9% higher than parity - better than it was (at release), but not as close as the 10th gen is.

What I tend to see in apple's european pricing is three (well, 2.5) things. One is that they're ridiculously hooked on round numbers. 413 is never going to be 413 on the sticker. And two, is that it's very rare that they change the sticker price after it's released. (Sounds silly when they've just bumped the 9th gen & ipad mini, but I'm genuinely struggling to think of any prior examples).

So the .5 is that this means their prices include what's essentially a gamble on the currency. It doesn't just reflect where the rate is now, it reflects where they think it's going. This time last week, we were paying less dollars for the 9th gen than the US was - and they've taken the unusual step of actually correcting for that. In short, the house always wins.

I just don't buy the theory that the increase is a punishment for the EU's decision on usb cables etc. The EU and US prices are aligned within roughly the same margin they're usually aligned by. It seems people don't realise how quickly a 20-something% shift in currency and a 20-something% tax rate add up (on top of the increase on the US price), and they'd rather grasp at theories than calculators.
I was in the same boat and switched to Fedora 6 months ago on desktop and laptop, the Cinnamon spin. It gets out of the way and up until now has just worked. No hardware issues except for the fingerprint reader.

The latest and greatest recommendation is now openSUSE Tumbleweed (rolling yet stable). Fedora was the recommendation of 2021. Manjaro was the recommendation of 2020. Try one and see if it works on your hardware. If not, pick the next one. :)

Medication. I dropped out of high school because I couldn't focus. I didn't really have the outward symptoms of ADHD but my mind was always racing.

I ended up eventually getting diagnosed, even doctors who don't usually prescribe stimulants prescribe them to me. I went from being unemployed and extremely depressed and doing small odd jobs living out of a cheap hotel room, to working at a FAANG like company without even studying for the interview. I am 26 and often wonder what life would have looked like if I got help earlier.

Todo lists help. Exercise helps. Medication did the trick for me.

WAT? I'm not even sure what that paragraph is trying to say. The last sentence does not seem to follow from the first 2.

That's about the point I decided the entire thing had too much nonsense and stopped reading, even if I tend to be worried about some of the issue raised.
Isn't it still unsupported to upgrade from one stable Debian version to another? I mean I know you can hack your way around it, just change the apt repos to point at the new release, run apt update, upgrade and dist-upgrade, and hope that not too much stuff breaks. But the nice thing about Ubuntu, especially for less technical people, is that the system will just prompt you to update when it's time, and the upgrade process is supported and well-tested.
