I don't understand why getting married while awaiting trial is weird, nor why it makes a difference whether you've been convicted. You can get married before or after being convicted, in prison or otherwise. Criminal convictions d

There are a lot of companies (including mine) that have been working on personalised, target, combinatorial, interfering, etc. RNA therapeutics for quite some time. The success of RNA vaccines in the last year has really opened up the pot

Yes. It's a PR/business reputation move.

It's not political. It's an immediate refusal of service to a client that is clearly causing commercial harm to AWS. They have no obligation to host Parler!

Right, if someone wants to build a business and can't do it without making it easier for hate groups and terrorists to organise, why would any government allow the business to exist? It's fundamentally a threat to any nation for i

Of course there is! There are at least hundreds of hosting companies that can provide that as a service, and of course they can just buy their own servers. Nobody is obliged to make it easy for them to run their site.

It really isn't a straw man. If clients or customers bring bad publicity to a company they can refuse them service. They can in fact refuse service for any reason that isn't discriminatory in many jurisdictions. Censorship has not

Nobody is in charge of people's perspectives. The UK has really gone all in on psychosocial nudge tactics in this pandemic, and it has massively failed so far. Arguably, they've done so because they knew the population were so bel

Can the company in this situation generally force the return sale of the shares for the strike price at the time the shares were issued? And assuming 1/4 of the shares are vested after 1 year, can the company still buy those vested sha

That's because the publishers are dependent on Google, because they have no discoverability of their own. It's a systemic problem but it's not Google's problem that they are the only discovery platform for most media out

Sorry, just to be clear, they are obscure, not secret. Anyone can compute primes. No prime is secret.

by Blahah 6y ago
> not secret Clearly, no smaller primes are secret either, nor are they so numerous that iterating over them is computationally difficult. And mathematically, anyone can discover primes. Why does it matter whether primes are secret?

It isn't a reasonable policy at all. If you are sick for weeks you have no vacation time. That's bad for everyone involved.

Is there anything to stop someone renting the servers and running a build service on them, thus subdividing the use of the resource?

Probably not, at least as a proportion of the population, given that by the 1930s the entire reading public of the USA and UK knew about arsenic eaters. Probably most famously in Strong Poison by Dorothy L. Sayers (1930)[0]. Also taught in

I work with bioinformatics data and tend to switch out an NVMe within 3-4 months. I'm usually maxing out read or write for 12 out of 24 hours a day. The slowdown is rapid and very noticeable.

No, it isn't literally what they told me. In many other countries, there is no possibility of being charged for any medical treatment you require when you visit hospital to give birth. It is free as in you don't need to have any

It really isn't the same though. In most developed countries you don't have to worry about turning up to a hospital, for pregnancy or any reason. When a pregnant woman turns up to hospital in the UK (for example) she is absolutely

IIRC both higher life expectancy and lower infant mortality are considered likely to be due to community support systems being much better and more pervasive in Latinx communities in the USA. Home births among Latinx are much safer than amo

Not alternatively. Leaving the gold standard may have been one proximate cause, while the desire of the government to have simple tools to provide short term economic relief in the face of complex socio-economic problems is one ultimate goa

I am aware. Scientific reports is supposed to have a professional editorial process, and is rather expensive to publish in. Its entire premise is to capitalise on the Nature brand whilst riding the open access train. I think it's a big

Seems like a fine paper, apart from the terrible editing, which is Nature's fault and not the authors'. Nature must have no professional editors on staff. What's the point of paying to publish there if you don't get the

Arguably politics is a mess in most places because of the incentives designed into the systems for elevating people to power, and because humans are predictably and inescapably manipulable due to their cognitive biases. Appearances in the a
