And neither should immigrants be blithely blamed.

It is, as with many things, a mix of all things. But the decrease in vaccination rates is _definitely_ a huge contributing factor in many of the outbreaks. See, e.g., https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC

Yeah, I've looked into the six-month option. At least some of those failures are thought to be due to Mom's antibodies — through breastfeeding — fighting the vaccine. So that's also a little bit of solace; we're not to

This is terrifying as a parent of an unvaccinated child. She'll get her vaccine as soon as she can (starting at the 1 year checkup), but there are others out there that cannot get the vaccine for other medical reasons.

Especially given the update: > Update, 12:35 pm: An editor from this publication has contested Ted’s account in ways I find credible. I’m reaching out to a couple people and will have a full update and potential correction as soon as pos

What makes you think that's a possibility? Power transportation over long distances is lossy and thus very expensive.

That is quite the extraordinary claim.

I was bumped by a car behind me in the exact same situation. I looked in my rearview mirror and immediately saw the cell phone in her hand. What made this particularly amusing was when we got out of our cars to assess any potential damage

While I believe that is technically illegal in many jurisdictions, I agree a quick peek is fine. What I routinely see, though, is folks with their heads solidly down and noses buried in their phone. Just in the past week I've seen two

That definitely won't work — my wife is in charge of my phone while I drive. This includes texting, GPS, and more. Even if you knew I was the one driving, just looking to see that my phone was in use wouldn't be accurate.

by 3JPLW 7y ago
You don't need to be touching your phone _while driving_ to do those things. Set them up before you leave your parking spot and use a robust mount so you can safely glance at the GPS without fiddling.

I'm curious — what do folks find remarkable about this article? Why has it lingered on the front page for so long?

Agreed, I've seen the same. Take that graph with a grain of salt and take a look at the failure modes table below it. Lots of monkey issues (about a quarter) and some totally unrelated things (like experiment termination). Some labs&#

Wait, what? A minimally invasive _craniotomy_? Cutting open the skull generally isn't thought to be minimally invasive. Cool technique but a rather crazy title given that the paper barely touches on invasiveness. Much better would be

But a fake entry in the database would result in a negative match. Thus the researcher would (at least at first) eliminate you as a possible candidate. Of course, uploading fake DNA with your real name would have other implications — your

Yes. I had seen the issue before but now it's fixed.

Is it still possible at or near VMO? And when the trim is maxed out? I don't think I've seen an authoritative answer on that, and that's the situation they faced.

This is the premise of one of the short stories in Black Mirror's "Black Museum" episode (written by Penn Jillette, actually). A doctor uses it as a diagnostic device and then, as you might expect, the plot turns dark. It&#x

Just don't forget about these aliases since GNU grep and the builtin grep can vary in what they support. I once ran into a head-scratching afternoon where `sed` would work with GNU extensions from the command line but not inside a she

I sure hope there will always be exciting new improvements just around the corner. The Julia community prides itself in being greedy, so we're often looking forward to those things. It's worth noting that this entire effort is don

This effort is effectively the revival of half of Gallium. At the end Gallium was a combination of two debugging techniques — it was both a "native" gdb/lldb-style compiled debugger as well as an interpreter. The native deb

I don't think you need to explain the intricacies of the MESI protocol — just explaining the fact that caches need to be consistent is quite sufficient. Perhaps throw in why they must be consistent. It then becomes clear that the cores

Sure, you don't really need to know any of this stuff unless you're actually needing to optimize code beyond the lowest hanging fruit. My list presupposes you've hit a wall and need the best performance you can get. That&#x2

Indeed, there are a limited number of hard-hitting topics that are definitely must-haves: * Rough latency timings * Caching * Prefetching * Sequential vs. random access * N-dimensional layouts (row/column major and arbitrarily strided)

Here's what I white-listed on uMatrix: * raw.githubusercontent.com — it's loading the notebook directly from GitHub, so yeah, this one is fairly essential. Just need one XHR here. * googleusercontent.com — no cookies, but it does
