This is not how stocks work at all outside of stock offerings…

If you use a new cloaking image for each picture you upload to social then they will all be embedded in a different location for a given feature extractor and an adversary wouldn’t be able to reverse search for linked pictures—that’s at lea

This should be somewhat mitigated if you keep using different cloaking images, no?

There is definitely a main function in the CPython source code.

Thanks for this—easier to digest than other posts I’ve seen. The ability to restrict interfaces to specific types is pretty cool (unique?) but otherwise seems like generics as usual, but with a distinct Go flavor. Looking forward to using t

Why would you prefer the risks of editing versus the risks of preimplantation screening? Editing would be strictly riskier unless there’s really no alternative (unlikely but possible)

Same--going to a market feels like a very human experience.

This opinion piece is citing a lot of evidence and blatantly misinterpreting it. At a minimum it defers to the IHME models as the reference standard but they’ve performed terribly; similarly it cites Ioannidis from Stanford who has consiste

Hmm I’d say all the book clubs I belong to are social first, book second; one club spends the majority of each meeting roasting the people who haven’t read the book, another good portion debating our selection procedures, and a minimal amou

I guess in my experience, the phrase is routinely used to refer to code availability and often the fact that a licensing fee doesn’t need to be negotiated or paid in order to run the code on our servers (either in an academic or corporate s

That there is any significant confusion at all means it is not de facto (and if something is right and true based on a definition I don’t think you can call it de facto either...). The distinction really doesn’t seem that important for most

Quite a remarkable lack of IANAL flags for a lot of people talking about false advertising/trademark law...IANAL but the minimal data I have suggests the phrase “open source” has very little protection (not strictly claimed on OSI webs

This is a super pessimistic and misleading description of phase 2 & 3 trials; actual efficacious drugs do come out of the FDA review process. Many phase 3 trials are against standard of care rather than placebo and many are longer than

There are legitimate concerns about efficacy (there’s research that suggests that evolution will help mosquitoes escape the gene drive effect, making it useful for only a short period of time) and about unknown ecological consequences (knoc

In order to uniquely identify, not a lot of space! A recent paper puts it at 50 SNPs ( https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5785835/ ). Describing your total unique genetic profile would obviously requi

Not a given, particularly for people fleeing countries in crisis, disarray, or violent turmoil. Or if a parent died during the migration, etc.

It would mitigate this issue to an extent, but also introduces new challenges (for instance and as pointed to elsewhere: dealing with officially/unofficially adopted children). I'm not sure if there are published numbers on what f

You would only be able to select from those 5 backgrounds, however, and the predicted heights for those embryos will be drawn from a normal distribution; you can only "design" from what you've sampled. On the other hand, if y

The models are predicted off of "~20k activated SNPs" - 20,000 separate mutations, most of which have really small effects on height. "Designer babies" are pretty far off (IVF is awesome and great, but not trivial, so it
