yeah, sorry about that. but biological systems are very complex so it's more important to know whether the claimed argument is verified. Finding a negative result under a different protocol would be very hard to analyze and pinpoint the source of the discrepancy.

Also, empirical science is very much the art of precise things. That's the difference between 20th century physics and ancient philosophy.

the group clarified that they did not want to replicate the 30 or so experiments in the Cell paper, but just four described in a single key figure. And those experiments would be performed not by another academic lab working in the same area, but by an unnamed contract research organization.

sounds like someone wants to quietly weaponize this.
Well, it's politics. A lot of the big lenders were german banks. So it made sense for the german government to support more loans to Greece, because those were used to keep paying back german Banks. Grossly simplified, but that's what has been happening in the last years.
Shipping, let alone the regulations around that, would make that an unreasonable approach.
To add to the list of reasons someone would not drink: depression. Most Americans will suffer depression at sometime and alcohol often works against recovery. You definitely don't want to attmept to bring up mental illness in an interview.
Most of them use risky web tech, insecure endpoints, hosting (always risky), or developers/servers under risk of coercion by major nation-states in surveillance game. All untrustworthy. My main post above outlines what it takes to make a strong assurance argument and let's just say there's few that can do it. Their time is also expensive.

My temporary solution is to combine endpoint encryption (eg GPG), MyKolab for address/storage, air gaps, and a guard. The MyKolab account gets me Swiss storage with associated legal protection & lack of clever Google-style snooping. I assume the servers are compromised along with messages. To deal with those threats, people send me either GPG messages or otherwise encrypted files. For protection, I can download them to a disposable, hardened PC; send them through a guard or data diode for reading; use a separate computer for writing and signing with a data diode. This is Markus Ottela's architecture for Tinfoil Chat. His diodes with separate PC's are simpler than my guards with KVM-connected PC's. So I recommend it his way these days.

You can swap out MyKolab for any other service for delivery or storage. You just have to make sure they're totally untrusted, incoming messages can't compromise your keys, and keys/secrets can't leak out. Tricky stuff for any of these developers. TFC already does this. I suggest these people modify its latest incarnation to do email (maybe apply GPG), find any other flaws it has, and improve on docs/distribution. Will get more mileage.
Well, the wall they are running into is kind of self inflicted. The cure(s) have been present before them since 1920s yet we are in this state.

First off, the medical science is itself based on wrong theories, see what Pasteur himself had to say "Terrain is everything, the Germ is nothing", yet the medical industry is hell bent on developing cures based on germs.

As for cancer,HIV and other incurable diseases many researchers have come forward, some of them include Rife, Nessens, William Koch, Oxygen therapy, Lakhovsky MWO, Priore device etc.

Unless we revise the our theories and procedures and look into the works of above reseachers, we will never find the cure.
Cultural fit can definitely impact performance. Imagine a luddite working for a biotechnology company, or an anarchist working for the government, or a muslim working for an atheist non-profit. These people would never find the motivation to perform better than the absolute minimum required to keep their jobs because their goals and the goals of the organization are complete opposites. They could even go as far as sabotaging the performance of others by creating a toxic work environment.
Actually, I think those would be acceptable answers. As a young person who works with older coworkers, I'm perfectly willing to talk to you about your kids or buying groceries. I just want to relate to you in a conversation that isn't about work.
Here's what I found with a little research. From https://tutanota.com/:

> Tutanota automatically encrypts all your data on your device. Your emails as well as your contacts stay private. You can easily communicate with any of your friends end-to-end encrypted. Even subject and attachments are encrypted.

It might have been better to submit a different blog post or web page which might have provided more context. Or the submitter could have left a comment about what Tutanota is to provide the extra context.

Note that I don't really mean to single out this submitter, this seems to be a common problem. It's probably also worth pointing out that posts on official company blogs should not assume that readers of any one blog post are regular readers of the blog.

Edit: As an addendum, I should probably point out that I agree with rossjudson's comment to which I am replying.
I've always interpreted it as both "(avoid success) at all costs" and "avoid (success at all costs)" - the former as a joke and the latter a serious guideline.
In terms of listing certain brands, you're completely correct that this should not cause there to be different results. But I disagree that these details should be left out of the paper. Any competent scientist attempting to replicate a result can make assumptions about which equipment (like tubing) should not reasonably be expected to change the results. It should be up to the replicating scientist to make the equipment substitutions that he deems reasonable.

An example might be listing that a certain brand of pippetor tips or centrifuge were used during the experiment. It is highly unlikely that a lab is going to go out of their way to acquire the exact brand of pipettor tips or centrifuge in order to replicate the experiment. But should they have difficulty reproducing the results, having the additional specific data in the original write up allows for the replicating lab to being troubleshooting on their own. They can begin looking at small level details which may have affected their results.

> marriage is about biological reproduction

No, that argument applies (and was in fact applied) to interracial marriages as well: interracial marriages produce undesirable hybrids which have no racial identity and therefore cannot be integrated into society.

> "No marriage after a hysterectomy" is not a position I've encountered.

Of course you haven't, because no one really takes the reproduction argument seriously. When you dig into it, it's just an obvious smokescreen to cover up the bigotry which is at the heart of all opposition to gay marriage.

If there were an actual argument against gay marriage, any demonstrable harm that comes from it, don't you think that the Right would be shouting it from the rooftops? But they aren't. All they're shouting from the rooftops is how horrible it is to ram social change down people's throats. The fact that this is the best argument they can muster is proof that sometimes you have no choice but to ram social change down people's throats, because some people are simply impervious to reason.

Let's start from 80 hours a week spent at work. Red flag #1. Don't know why you would assume that's necessary

3.5 hours/week showering. Red flag #2. Even if you shower every single day, if you're spending 30 minutes in the shower each time you might as well call it a hobby. Unless you've got long luxurious hair, you should be able to get everything done in 10 minutes.

10 hours commuting, so 1 hour each way? #3 How much do you value your time? Clearly if you can't think of a hobby, not very much. If you did, you'd pay extra to not waste 2 hours every day wasted. But wait...why are you wasting that time? Can you read? Listen to audio books? Work on a side project? Even day dream and think? If you have to drive, can you switch from driving to motorcycling, and make that a hobby?

It sounds like you WANT to throw yourself into work, and spend all your energy and time into it as an excuse for lacking the ability to become a fully developed multi-faceted human being. And that is on you, not on your employer.

Nice.

I agree with what the others are saying, there's a lot of source code for solving obscure programs that is only on Sourceforge.

One example I found recently is a program called QLumEdit. I recently had to figure out how to work with EuLumdat files, and if it wasn't for the source code for this program on Sourceforge I would have been completely stumped (well not quite, but it would have taken me ages).

If SF goes down the toilet, a lot of knowledge goes with it so this is awesome to see!

If anybody is interested, I was converting this code from C++ to .net, my horrible hacky unrefactored effort is here - https://github.com/bumblebeeman/eulum.net

I am getting pretty close too, here is my .net generated version of the images this program produces: http://imgur.com/PCmpnJ2

This is where they simply assert there is an equal protection clause violation based on the fact that there is a substantive due process violation. It's just assertion. There is no precedent they are drawing on, and in fact, they acknowledge Lawrence was not an equal protection clause win. In fact, it was an equal protection clause loss, as i cited.

They point out a bunch of things about substantive due process (not equal protection)
Then, they simply assert ">And the Equal Protection Clause, like the Due Process Clause, prohibits this unjustified infringement of the fundamental right to marry."
This is not a legal argument, it's, as scalia would say, jiggery puffery. It's not a citation of precedent. It's not a logical argumentation from the standards applied to equal protection claims. You can see there are zero tests being applied here. It is simply bare assertion.

Basically, nowhere in this paragraph, have they explained how it is an equal protection clause violation for legal reasons.
They just assert it exists.

There are in fact, reasonable arguments and conclusions to be made on either side of this particular legal battle. The majority made none of them :)

(As i pointed out, they could have held this was sex based discrimination subject to heightened scrutiny under the EPC, and disallow it there)

To be honest, if we are going to play armchair lawyer on hacker news, suggest you read these, and the decisions they refer to, with a really critical eye (to both sides). I suggest you take the time to look at what law schools outlines teach (it's a fine source if you want crib notes) about the equal protection clause.

With no disrespect meant, I simply have no remaining urge to try to explain to a large number of folks who confuse pretty basic constitutional law concepts, but want to argue with each other, what those concepts are. Not because i find it beneath me, but because it becomes exhausting :) Things like the substantive due process clause, the equal protection clause, etc, have a lot of precedent on them, and are very well studied. I would strongly suggest you take a look.
Great, this article's title suggests that they've discovered a selective pressure on the Dutch to be taller, but then says they have no idea what that selective pressure might be. At the very end of the article, even:

I started a company (GrantTree) that operates (or tries to operate) largely by the principles described in this book, though of course we have our own unique vision of it. A lot of it is described at http://danieltenner.com/open-cultures/ .

Feel free to ask me anything about how this actually works in practice - I know it's not obvious from just reading about it. I'll do my best though.
Not sure I get your meaning here. People who break the law are incarcerated more than people who don't break the law. That's not an equal protection violation.
No they do not. I've never been fingerprinted as a Canadian until I got a work visa for the USA. For many Canadians who visit the usa for tourism or similar will never have their fingerprints in a canadian or us database under current laws.

So bipolar means "two extremes", and the question is how does one transition between them-- continuously varying across the gamut, or discretely jumping.

But the only way to find out that the experiment is sensitive to specifics of some animals is to run it with different animals in the same laboratory.

If the original paper finds a result and I fail to find the same result with different animals, I have no way of knowing if the difference is because of my animals or some other small difference in experimental setup -- unless the experimental setup is explained in enough detail in the original paper.

> This past January, the cancer reproducibility project published its protocol for replicating the experiments, and the waiting began for Young to see whether his work will hold up in their hands. He says that if the project does match his results, it will be unsurprising—the paper's findings have already been reproduced. If it doesn't, a lack of expertise in the replicating lab may be responsible. Either way, the project seems a waste of time, Young says. “I am a huge fan of reproducibility. But this mechanism is not the way to test it.”

One swallow does not make a spring. With a belief like 'one replication is enough', I'm not sure Young actually appreciates how large sampling error is under usual significance levels or how high heterogeneity between labs is.
I upvoted him because I could see the problem immediately. There were a lot things said but with little real information for comparison to other things. Had to dig around the site a bit before that. A number of these new offerings have this problem. Compare to this product [1] where I know at a glance exactly what the thing does with enough specifics to begin mental comparisons and know what its likely strengths/weaknesses are. Anyone doing reviews would benefit if the new stuff was that clear at a glance.

Indeed. IMHO, I should be able to share with one (or more) people all the rights that marriage currently grants without it somehow being linked to an ancient religious ritual, even if only be name.

Marriage should be handled as religious rituals and nothing state-related at all.

I suspect that it would not be legal to refuse to hire women because "they expand the risk of romantic involvement" and "are physically weaker" (even though they meet the requirements of the position). I don't actually disagree with your points but variations of them have frequently been the excuse for excluding women from a wide variety of jobs.
Great idea, but a total geek product. In terms of actual market success, that is, getting security to average people this is never going to work. Not only is there all kinds of language on the site that regular folk aren't interested in (text encodings, hashes, etc.), the very idea of having to remember a "password counter" is far too difficult for anyone. I've got hundreds of passwords (in a password app), and once even a quarter of those are incremented past 1 in the counter it's just a massive guessing game at that point.
> There's nothing about marriage that necessitates restricting it to members of opposite sexes.

There's nothing about contracts that necessitate restricting them to persons capable of consent, if you decide to define contracts not to require consent anymore.

If you feel free to redefine the nature of marriage, surely you can also feel free to redefine the nature of contracts.
I noticed they recently started selling skyr in my local supermarket, in the UK. I was so excited! I had it on a trip to Iceland several years ago and have been trying to find it ever since...

Oh well :P It's not bad and it's pretty good in a nutritional sense.
I've not read anyone claiming that the Hyperloop is technologically infeasible. It re-uses a lot of known concepts and will likely work.

Most of the concerns I've read are about construction costs, safety (e.g. escaping a stuck hyperloop train), failure modes (e.g. what if the tunnel suddenly floods with air from e.g. an earthquake), practicality (the Hyperloop trains as envisioned don't support wheelchair access, and don't have toilets), and similar civil engineering challenges.

If a hyperloop were designed to transport cargo/mail then I think that would "solve" most of the perceived problems (except maybe construction cost). But transporting people adds a whole new vector of complexity to the concept.

Again the core concepts of the hyperloop are likely sound. The thing would work if we built it. But it doesn't mean it will ever be built and even if it is, that any passengers will ever be able to utilise it commercially.
I am by no means a strong feminist but I find it pretty stupid to decide whether or not to hire based on gender (unless of course the gender is absolutely required like female lead in a movie).

I have seen many women far more physically capable to handle jobs like that then men.

Hire the best person for the job regardless of gender.
Root certificates are just one manifestation of a much larger problem, which could be described as follows:

1. Nobody checks the source code of the software installed on their machines (or that the binaries were actually built from the purported source code).

2. Our software vendors can push new software in automated updates without anyone knowing about it.

Suppose that the CA system were replaced with a PGP-style web-of-trust or SSH-style trust-on-first-use system. How would you know that your software vendor has supplied you with a TLS implementation that's correctly and faithfully implemented? Just as they can push out new root CAs, they can push out a new TLS implementation that introduces a bug or backdoor that bypasses all trust checks.

So why single out root certificates?
