I worked on a 120% project but was advised not to let my manager know about it unless it was successful. Not sure that is an indication of it working as intended.

Disappointed that this didn't include the extended downtimes during the February/March crash and rebound.

I used to work in one of the top labs doing protein folding, in fact I recognize some lab mates who survived to have their own labs in this year's CASP top ten ranking. Something is a bit rotten though because I'd guess about half

Another non-Mormon, non-religious immigrant to Utah chiming in here: "which should be illegal" - is exactly an example of the coastal attitudes that are disrupting a very well ordered, high trust society. Consider that this state

As of yesterday if you had told me that Twitter would start banning NY Post stories from its platform I would have told you that it strains credulity.

One day I hope to spear one myself. I have a few friends that have been hard working and lucky enough to spear one and the food that they share from that is incredible. Sushi for days. Then again, these are the smaller bluefin about the siz

"since code is just text" . . . No. It really isn't. I haven't gotten to play around with GPT-3 yet and I am sure it is very advanced, but code is extremely fragile in a way human language is not. I only say this as some

Good article for the most part. I was amazed when I moved here from Santa Monica a.k.a. Silicon Beach at how much startup and VC activity there is. Even down in Provo which I'd probably call the southern terminus of Silicon Slopes I ov

Your story reminds me of when I interviewed at Google and did great on four interviews but the fifth one sunk me. I was asked an inheritance question which didn't make much sense (coming from a heavy Perl and Ruby background) but proba

That was a fantastic read. It doesn't prove that it was lab-made, but I think it soundly rejects current arguments that it is a natural recombination. It also is a wonderful explanation of the furin cleavage site and why that is such a

Because the IHME model is based on taking China's data at 100% face value and applying it to the US. It over-predicts in the short term and under-predicts in the medium to long term. They keep revising the overall number down to line u

Oh man, awesome. We had a rather janky workload where ECS would spin up an EC2 that would then mount an EFS volume and then write a file over to S3. This is going to make that so much easier and cleaner. If you're wondering why you&#x2

Whoa! Congrats to Gil and the rest of the team back at Factual. I'm eternally grateful to them for giving this ex-bioinformatician a shot and starting my career as a data engineer, I learned from some of the very best. They were doing

They just taste sweeter. Plus a 1 pound California lobster has more edible meat than a 1 pound Maine lobster, despite the huge claws of the Maine lobster. It's all tail meat. Plus the "face meat" (meat underneath the giant sp

Really curious to see data on the California commercial lobster fishery, 98% of which goes abroad to Japan and China. They run $35-40/lb over the last year or two, so I imagine they have much further to fall, which is great for the rec

It would have made sense weeks ago. They are either dangerously incompetent or intentionally pushing this under the rug to forestall panic and buy themselves time to secure PPE and supply lines for critical medical infrastructure. I tend to

I don't fully agree with this characterization. My girlfriend and her brother have left the church and there seems to be zero love lost in the family or their friend group that they grew up with. I know that this does happen to many pe

I've been working on exporting SAP data to a new data lake and it's a tortuous process, though amazing when you finally get the data out and can finally do something with it. SAP works within its own sandbox but woe unto you if yo

Great book, read it several times and gifted it several more. His second book "The World Beyond Your Head" is much deeper and even more insightful. I hope he continues to probe and write like that.
