That's pretty much it. Protein structures are immensely complex. Think of stringing a 50 magnets on a piece of string, then trying to predict the structure it would take on if in zero gravity? We have a pretty big set of protein struc

Huh? How do you “solve” experimentally determined protein structures? The AI models were basically trained on those.

Having solved nearly all protein structures known to biology, As a biologist, “hahaha……no”. The AI might have solved structures according to the rules it’s been told, but are they accurate with what happens in reality? No.

Twitter is a platform for foreign subterfuge according to who? I’d love for someone to give me an example of where a foreign country successfully conducted a high impact operation through social media. So far, the biggest examples so far

Depends on the country you’re account is in. I got virtual cards before ever ordering the physical card. But keep in mind it’s a bank debit card (charge immediately comes off your balance), not a credit card.

Why? All you have to do is read through an HN thread on some financial product with high risk, say interest-only mortgages, to learn that if you give people freedom to do what they want they’ll turn around and blame someone else when thing

So if one steps back, the overall situation seems to be: - if social media helps politicians (Obama campaign) then it's good - if social media hurts politicians (Hilary campaign) then it should be attacked as a "weapon of foreign

"Most analyses"? United Healthcare, the largest US insurer, has more members than the entire population of Canada. Why don't they get better drug prices than Canada? And in terms of efficiency, please list all the new, innov

If the government is making the drugs how do they bargain for a price? And if the inefficiency of the government in terms of defense spending is any indication, I’m sure we’d be getting way less for our money than we currently do.

It’s pure fantasy. Yes, Nixon did tell the South that he could get them a better deal if they waited until after the election. But the idea that the US and North Vietnam were on the verge of a peace deal in ‘68 is just laughable. And sure N

That article is pure fantasy. The South didn't need any help walking away from a peace deal in '68. Hell, they walked away from the peace deal in '72 and only signed because Nixon told them the US was leaving regardless. And

What the difference between consumers paying for drugs directly or paying taxes that pay for the drugs?

It's covered by insurance and the manufacturer has a $25/month program.

No, "like 2008" could imply falling house prices nothing more.

You mean the 2008 financial crisis caused by falling home prices?

Home prices are going down.

It's already covered in the law. Most provinces are requiring that "beneficial ownership" of any corporation is reported to the government. https://www.jdsupra.com/legalnews/british-columbia-finalizes...

People seem to be concerned about this, but isn’t this what we want? If states get too expensive to live in, or decide to increase taxes and people don’t agree with that, they leave. That was pretty much the intent of the 50 states - 50 dif

You really underestimate the stress of running a company or investment fund. I’d say your average middle class job is way less stressful. Hell, I sometime yearn for the days of my blue collar jobs where when the clock hit 5pm the work was s

Somewhat similar to 9/11. For people not yet in their 20’s it must seem like ancient history (like the Vietnam war was for me despite happening not that long before I was born).

The point being lowering prices can sometimes maximize revenue. And sure housing goes down, check out prices after 2008. Condos in Miami could be bought for $30,000. They couldn't give them away.

Reminds me of 2008 and that quote from the movie Margin Call. And it's certainly no different today than its ever been. 1637, 1797, 1819, 37, 57, 84, 1901, 07, 29, 1937, 1974, 1987-Jesus, didn't that fuck up me up good-92, 97, 20

"This is the most naive take. Walmart is going to sqeeze as much profit as possible, why would they do anything to lower the price of consumer goods?"

$1B in real estate is less than one one-hundreth of a percent of all residential real estate in the US (estimated at $43,400 billion). You really think that's a threat to democracy?

JPM is going buy $1B in real estate? Oh no, that's 0.002% of the value of all private residential real estate in the US!

Does anyone even do rough math when they propose these types of things? Public transport funding tends to be in the billions of dollars. The private jet market globally, including company jets (which I assume this wouldn’t include) is $30B.
