The Race to Avert an Oil Spill That Could Cost $20B to Fix

I was an early investor about 20 years ago (nothing to write home about) for a company in this space. Small molecule therapy though, not MRNA.

Very slow going, as is all speculative biotech stuff but it made it to approvals on the vetinary side (dogs and horses) and is sold in the US for those purposes. However, I believe the human trials are somewhere around P2 currently for H&N and other indications are even further back.

Only mentioning it because I still follow the annual reports, and I know that despite having no approvals they've treated a few patients via the various avenues that are available in Australia to people who have exhausted all other options.

The drug is tigilanol tiglate. It's had some success to date, with some immune responses in distal tumors after the initial application.

There is plenty of published research available, so please don't anyone take this comment as any kind of recommendation or advice.

That is quite a statement that I think you need to back up. How about you link to 3 examples. Remember, they have to be personal, and they have to be serious.

It is not because:

1. TOTP is time based, after 30 seconds it means absolutely nothing, you cannot recreate the 'secret key' from that number

2. with TOTP everything is well-known. TOTP will usually generate a 6 digit 'secret', this makes managing it very predictable:

6 digits = 1,000,000 options(including all zeros)
we can easily calculate a good security margin

like:
5 attempt - 5/1,000,000 = 0.000005% chance of success
Very predictable security margin

Yes, the interactive TV stuff in the 1990s was kind of a bet against the Internet. It's amazing to me that multiple companies developed entire systems that were 10x-100x too expensive to bring to market; I guess they hadn't heard that too early is the same as wrong.
> The party also wants the country to stop using the Euro and dissolve the European Parliament.

Let's be honest, this will never ever happen.
Germany has a huge influence in the EU and on the euro, why would they stop using it?!
Yeah, every now and then I directly get an L2 person who either just had a phone queue open or really needs a promotion. But, unless I've just been an idiot (which does happen), L1 is mostly useless.

I've found social media a mix. There are people who seem really interested in making stuff happen and there are people who are surprised you expect anything more than sympathetic cooing noises.

> All green bets like diesel, biomass, natural gas

That's a huge clue right there. Germany bet on the most conservative solutions (keeping their diesel cars and house heating systems) and guess what, they don't work. Burning food for energy was never going to be good idea, and biodiesel was never going be clean enough for cars, but they went for it anyway because they didn't dare touch the auto companies.
> Washington didn't do it in exchange for anything.

How do you know that? Wielding absolute power makes enemies and Washington could have eventually lost everything, just like any number of historical tyrants that his circle, so keen about Greek and Roman history, were aware of. Turning down absolute power while keeping one’s immense wealth and influence can be an attractive choice, and this is the same calculus that has guided other warlords involved in revolutions up to the present day.
My understanding on the section on geoengineering is that it's merely pointing out that the underlying dynamic of the whole system wouldn't change with a new technology. The dynamic in question is that humans are applying too much pressure on their environment, the CO2 emissions are only a symptom.

In the fox-rabbit analogy, the fox (humans) find a way to eat rabbits that increases the delta parameter but the equations themselves don't change.
This is a shallow reading of what a “bot” could be capable of. Whoever is running customer service at that company has obviously decided that for certain situations people should be entitled to courtesy replacements. That decision was not contingent on who is taking the calls. When that person makes the decision to shift some/all workload to chatbots, he, or she could easily teach the bots what types of courtesy repairs or replacements should be considered, and the criteria they should meet.

For instance, in your case, the rep probably knew that the part cost a couple bucks and the postage cost a buck or two, so a three dollar expense was deemed well worth it for goodwill.

This is the kind of thing that a bot would be just as good at, and it’s also a thing that does not automatically happen just because the agents are humans. Some companies would fire the human rep for giving you that freebie.

Honestly, the real reason why bots will be a good thing is that 3/4 of customer service calls come from confused people who really just need handholding. Setting the jobs issue aside, which is going to be a much bigger question across humanity, eventually I’d like to see bots handle that 3/4 of calls. Half the customer service staff could be retained and deployed exclusively to handle the issues actually worth their time.
No mat or cushion for me, I've come to appreciate the grounding feeling of sitting on hard wooden floors. I sit in as many positions as I can come up with and alternate between them almost unconsciously now. In a few months of using the floor desk I went from thinking myself unable to sit in half lotus to actually finding that position very comfortable. Some examples of floor sitting postures:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32131303

https://www.pinterest.co.uk/pin/813533120161288900/

I use a laptop either directly on the floor or on top of a small table or elevated surface. You can of course also add a monitor, wireless keyboard with touchpad, etc., and that gives you plenty of new posture options.
You used to be able to go into elevators and tell the attendant what floor you were going to, or have the ice delivery service figure out how much you needed for the next day as well. The current situation is a significant improvement, IMO.

> But they simply aren't designed for a full shopping cart which includes a ton of non-barcoded items.

Huh. Everything at my grocery store either has a barcode or is produce that needs to be weighed, so there's no speed advantage for a cashier.

And they've gone through different sizes of self-checkout, some of which actually had more room than the cashier checkouts.
Just driving around in the rain while listening to the radio in GTA3 was amazing. Similar memories of Morrowind. Too bad the feeling is gone.
Can someone explain to me how you can slip a disk typing? I can't contort myself in a way I feel anything more than the occasional back muscle pain. Is the author unusually weak or something? I exercise frequently so perhaps my back is stronger than usual. Still, it seems extremely odd to me you can hurt yourself in that way just simply sitting. Hunched or not.

Cheddar cheese is indeed white, unless annatto (a tree nut) and sometimes paprika are added for flavor. Tillamook makes both.
You seem to be convinced that I'm stalking you for some reason, and you have crafted a reply that is supposed to make any and all of my words moot.

Regardless, I do not speak to make anything seem to anyone or to have the last word - I speak because I want to communicate. And I'd like to communicate to you that I am most certainly not stalking you. I don't appreciate being accused of it with only evidence being the fact that we had a conversation before, but I understand paranoia and the distrust of everyone it causes in the soul, which is the reason I'm spending my time typing this out in the first place.

Again, I hope you find your peace, or ask for help from appropriate people if you can't. Nothing more than that.

It's a nice read, an important topic, that of not trusting blindly formal proofs. No theorem ever applies to real world objects, it can only say facts about ideas. It's good to keep that in mind but at the same time that's all we got, it's like a basic premise of science. That's why it's important be able to also do testing and have executable models, to validate that the model behaves like you think it should. But it's also what serious people do already even when doing formal proofs. And it's also why there's usually a difference between scientifically "solving" something and the art of making it actually work.

Just because you can't understand why this affects your future doesn't mean it's hollow outrage.
This is just the start of Germany's economic erosion. China will hollow out their higher-end industrial economy, their manufacturing export juggernaut. It already happened to the US, now it's Germany's turn. They'll have to learn new ways to compete, as the US has had to.

Not to mention Germany almost entirely missing the tech age has done extraordinary damage to its potential, wealth, future, etc. There was no good reason that had to happen, they have the talent and education to have a massive tech industry. Fixing this huge hole in their economy would be a big help.
They are simpler but that doesn’t mean they are more reliable yet.

At least in the US electric cars score poor reliability pretty consistently, because there’s a lack of maturity and quality.

CLEAR doesn't do any background check. You are just paying to get your own VIP line up to the checkpoint. You still have to talk to the TSA agent and show your ID. CLEAR doesn't even get you to the front of the precheck line unless you've paid for that as well. The line for precheck is usually shorter and quicker but you still have to talk to the TSA agent. The precheck checkpoints will usually just use metal detectors instead of bodyscanners and you get to keep your shoes on and your electronics in your bag, overall making the line move quicker.

The TSA does publish a list of disqualifying items for Precheck. As long as you fill out the forms truthfully, the disqualifications pretty much all revolve around the questions "do you have a felony record?" and "are you on any interpol or government watchlist?" If the answer is no to both, chances are you'll pass the precheck investigation. It's not like they send out agents to talk to you neighbors, friends, and coworkers so it's really just a records search. If you're on a government watchlist, you've got bigger problems than long lines at the airport. Of course there's always the situation of mistaken identity but there's already a system in place for that with the DHS redress numbers.

If you routinely get SSSS on your tickets, it's probably a good idea to get a redress number. Even if you do get precheck, there's still a possibility of getting demoted to regular security and a possible SSSS stamp if something about your trip is "suspicious" like multiple one-way tickets booked for a non-family group.
> In my experience, most stores are finding a reasonable balance.

I hope you're right but this hasn't been the case at the grocery stores around me. QFC (a Kroger-owned brand in the Pacific Northwest) has, at least at two I usually frequent, stopped staffing checklanes after 8 or 9pm. It's self-checkout only. These are at stores that have a lot of signage advertising that "summer hours are here, all locations open until 1am!"

I normally shop around 9 or 10pm and there has historically been at least a "push this button to ask someone to come to the in-person method". Much as I like self-checkout, I don't like doing it with a full cart of groceries. Both recent times, I was told rather bluntly that a full cart was my problem.

With service like that, I'd rather just go to the Amazon spyware grocery store. At least I can put everything in a bag myself and they're open until 11pm.
Not really at all.

In a sentence, we need a public infrastructure in place to care for the mentally ill that currently are forced to live on the streets of our major cities. We need a way to pay the people that do the work, buy the buildings, keep the lights on. We call this infrastructure asylums, whatever you want to call it we need it desperately.

If you want to stop things like what you cited from happening, lobby to have rules and regulations surrounding these institutions that get you what you want. But it doesn't mean we don't need the 90% good they will do for fear of the 10% bad they've done in the past

I've had good luck with getting GitLab Issues to do an appropriate variation on Kanban, so long as I have their Scoped Labels (which seems to be in the $29/user/month Premium plan). I like the tight integration with the Git workflows, and I like not having to manage yet another SaaS.

Do some of your users need the $99 Ultimate plan, and GitLab salespeople couldn't meet you at workable pricing for your users who mostly only need to use Issues?
> The Supreme Court decisions of the early 1970s on mental health were well intentioned but disastrous.

Those decisions still left much room for coerced treatment, so it's not clear how disastrous they were. Most if not all states and cities ended up with additional legislation, caselaw, and normative policies that made coerced treatment (including outpatient treatment) much more difficult.
You're welcome. But don't take my word for it:

According to wikipedia, many types of squamous cell carcinomas are associated with HPV infection. [0]

Another area where the US has lagged which would prevent a lot of these cancers from ever developing in the first place is HPV vaccination. Last I heard it was only females who were being routinely vaccinated, and relatively recently at that. We should really be prioritizing eradication of HPV.

This plan seems to have excellent incentive alignment and basically mirrors the system in place, but without the need to be approved for clinical trials.

Experimental treatments being available to people with no options (there must be no applicable option with a proven probability of success or this becomes very questionable) could save drug companies millions-billions in the off chance that it proves to be incompatible with human testing or fails to produce the expected effects in humans.

I would take this up a notch or two for patients in a short-range situation that is certainly fatal, opening the door for them to try treatments that have just barely crossed en-vidrio and seem to have acceptable toxicity in mouse models. This would essentially be donating one’s body to science but in a much more useful form, with the side benefit of a slim chance of life extension.

This could benefit humanity by significantly reducing time to market for some drugs and cutting costs on eventual dead-ends.
Related - My friend group is a bunch of (predictably) nerds, and describing the times I want to keep working on an interesting tech problem for my employer as "wizarding" has been fairly successful. It's specifically a D&D reference, since what I'm usually doing is figuring out a new pattern ("spell") to add to my repertoire ("spellbook") that I can then use in many other situations.

It's... difficult, to convey to people what it's like having a job you like doing, working for people that treat you with respect, when they've pretty much only ever had jobs they didn't like and working for people that treated them poorly.
This is an mTOR inhibitor, I believe there are others already in clinical trials. I know PIK3 inhibitors are used to block some cancers. Most inhibitors stop cancer for "a while" but cancer cells have the ability to circumvent pathway disruptions.

I'm going to have to squint to read the number on the vegetable which is sometimes there. Might have to do a lookup. It doesn't have a barcode. There's no real place to put a shopping cart. I'm having to take out items, find their price, and bag them. Something will probably go wrong which means the person watching over the self-checkout will have to come over and do something.

I can do it. But it's a pain for a large order.
It's early days on the product applications, but the fundamental power is being able to find correlations and connections across a huge corpus and output a large variety of rough ideas that can then be selected and polished by humans. It doesn't replace human expertise and creativity, but it will chip away at the bottom where many jobs are essentially rote tasks with very little human-level judgement needed, and more apropos to the GP, it will provide an increasingly powerful assist to human experts who learn how to harness it.

Word for Windows 1.1a was released in 1990 and the source code of it is available from the Computer History Museum: https://computerhistory.org/blog/microsoft-word-for-windows-...

It has 1800 lines of "SPELL.C" for 17 languages already by that time, so if there's a Prolog interpreter involved that might be a place to look. There were Word 2, Word 6, Word 95, Word 98 and Word 2000 released in the 90s as well so it's quite possible they rewrote the spellchecking several times and absense in that code won't be conclusive evidence against the idea.

So far, I've never seen a Publix with even a single self-checkout. I'm not saying they don't exist, but they're rolling them out much more slowly than the other stores.

This is likely because Publix is 80% employee-owned[1].
