You do realize that (unless something changed recently) all your metadata is still on their servers? Last time I checked, a Docker image of the sync server was in the works though.

I'm not entirely clear on the use case, but Disruptor by LMAX Exchange is for the JVM and seems very concerned with latency. ( https://github.com/LMAX-Exchange/disruptor/wiki/Performance-... )

tl;dr Kicking out the non-experts won't solve the current problems and is likely to introduce new ones. It's a tooling issue, not a platform one. This is a difficult problem. In trying to reduce the noise by choosing who gets to s

In a past life I was an academic researcher. My objections are nothing specific, I just never had any obvious uses for it and I'm deeply dissatisfied with the centralized Facebook model so to speak. ResearchGate seems to blend Facebook

It's easy to get working provided that you compile _everything_ from source. You can either omit glibc from this, or accept that it will still dynamically load some stuff at runtime even when "statically" linked, or switch to

Setting up 3 or 4 VM images for different OSes takes a few minutes. Configuring 3 or 4 different build environments across as many OSes on the other hand ...

Hey you appear to have been shadow banned back in 2017 for no reason I can see. I think you can email the support address to fix it?

This exists and is called ResearchGate. I'm not fond of it personally, but many seem to make good use of it. > making data publicly readable but not submittable I'm unclear what you mean by this.

There's a really important distinction to be made here though. "No better than placebo, and half the control group died" would mean it probably doesn't work. "No better than placebo, but no one needed to be hospital

CQ (and HCQ, etc) have multiple potential mechanisms of action. I don't believe we know how it works in this particular case yet, or if it even works at all. It is indeed a zinc ionophore, [1] and those are known to impair the replicat

Just FYI, there are ARM versions of both Linux and Windows these days. There are also high end ARM server CPUs, [1] and Amazon even offers EC2 instances backed by a custom ARM CPU. [2] (While we're at it Linux also supports POWER9. [3]

I was attempting to illustrate the absurdity of the past month and a half by performing a back-of-the-envelope calculation, not provide a detailed business plan for launching a biotech startup. FFS I never claimed that bench space was a uni

I'm fairly certain that everything I said makes sense, so I'll try to clarify a bit. First though, it seems a misunderstanding has developed. I was not calling the competence of the UW lab into question! They are bound by various

This is incorrect. The CDC recommends BSL-2 for routine diagnostics and BSL-3 for isolating the virus in cell culture. ( https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-nCoV/lab/lab-biosafety-... )

It's somewhat more nuanced than that. The currently approved swabs have limited availability, and indeed there are others (unapproved) that would work. However it seems you can't use just any - they have to consist of synthetic fi

My calculation (1000 tests per day) left space for 12 controls per batch - is that not sufficient under the circumstances? Alternatively, at 500 tests per day (again, this is _per_ low-end machine!) you could run each sample twice in additi

I appreciate what's going on at UW regarding this and realize that it must have been a huge amount of work to say the least. However, I'd like to point out that most of what you've described is related to the bureaucracy and

Which is why the FDA recently approved the Roche extraction kit, but honestly you don't even need a kit. (For example: https://primerdigital.com/rna.html )

I'm frequently an opponent of (what I see as excessive) regulation, but in this case - would you really want to fly in a low barrier to entry situation? The vast majority of the barriers here seem to be related to ensuring safety.

Just FYI, prefetch instructions are already a thing (at least on x86). At present they're only hints to the underlying heuristic system though. ( https://www.felixcloutier.com/x86/prefetchh ) Cache-as-RAM is also a

Not a lawyer, but as I understand it any publicly accessible publication would suffice. Actually I think any sort of open demonstration of the idea that others can learn from is good enough, but I have no idea how edge cases are handled or

Open publication (at least in western jurisdictions) serves as prior art. If you don't intend to patent, just write about what you're doing openly and often!

That's... slightly better? I think? Honestly SGX is complicated enough that I'm not entirely sure I have this straight. Am I correct in thinking that: 1. A user-programmable MSR would allow the device owner to falsify the attestat

Unfortunately, AMD has PSP. [1] ARM has TrustZone. [2] You'd have to get a system with a POWER9 [3] chip, such as the Talos II from Raptor. [4] That has quite a price tag though, on account of not being mainstream. [1] https:/&#x

Yes, trusted computing is currently mostly used to curtail user freedom - generally in the name of security. And yes, implementations make use of a cryptographic root of trust to realize their design goals. It doesn't have to be that w

Actually it can't be, barring successful attack against the physical hardware, firmware, or underlying cryptography. SGX employs public-key cryptography to authenticate itself to the end user remotely (the same as SSH). The key it uses
