Sorting by date I see 2 additions to the table on 2020-07-21.

FTA: Previous work using CRISPR in mouse embryos and other kinds of human cell had already demonstrated that editing chromosomes can cause large, unwanted effects.

"California coronavirus hospitalizations jump 32% in two weeks"

Reading this via Feedly on Android. For audio podcasts when I'm biking I use BeyondPod Pro [1] - tried a bunch of options, it was the only one I found which reliably downloads episodes while on wifi and plays them with no issue while offline.

57 and been writing software almost my entire career. Brief foray into mgmt, 15 years ago. Saw the error of my ways and went back to straight dev work. See no reason that will change.

So, yes. Just make sure companies you work for have a strong technical career track.

Per the current contents of that link, he is now a _former_ deputy.

Current title of the linked article: "Organ donation law in England has changed".

I believe the poster meant "effectively lifetime appointments". Some relevant stats: https://www.opensecrets.org/overview/reelect.php

Work for a hospital system in Boston and can confirm - testing guidelines here remain quite strict.

Rolling out that tech has got to be more expensive than checking the load first.

It gets worse! From updated story at same url (so annoying!) "Workers were reportedly expected to download a file to their Android phones, enable a setting that allows for the installation of apps from untrusted sources, and then bypass prompts warning that doing so could cause a security breach."

I know nothing about the app itself, but clearly the process around deploying it was a fiasco. We really need competent people running elections.

Most states don't even have caucuses, just more traditional primaries. I'm pretty confident this app is quite specific to the (democratic - republican process is different) caucuses in Iowa.

Lots of good posts out there about why electronic voting (w/out a paper trail) is a bad idea. Here's one: https://www.markpack.org.uk/160622/why-electronic-voting-is-...

From story in the Guardian [1] "State party officials had said they would not be sending the new mobile app to precinct chairs for downloading until just before the caucuses to narrow the window for any interference."

Brilliant plan.

Discussion of whether the next (or any future) c++ release should break abi compatibility.

But the author follows that with "It works the same way for 100 as it does 10e100."

So, we must always be reactive rather proactive in our responses? I'm personally quite interested in what might be coming, particular ly if the article does a good job of describing driving forces and potential obstacles.

Merry Christmas all!

It's not a valid production for 'atom' in the grammar[1].

Here's the actual report https://oig.justice.gov/press/2019/2019-12-09.pdf

>> I think one of the biggest lessons here is about the difficulty of relying on humans to maintain attention while covering an autonomous vehicle.

Why not run these systems in shadow mode to collect data, rather than active? Have the human completely in control and compare system's proposed response to human's. At my last job running a new algorithm in shadow mode against the current one was a common way to approach (financially) risky changes.

Then it can't be deployed on public roadways!

You'd think it would be an easy sell that unethically mined crystals harbor "bad" energy, not "good". But I guess nobody involved in sales & distribution actually cares about anybody's well being.

My favorite bit: "If you dislike hearing other people use it, you may continue to be upset."

When using this technique, don't forget to account for infrequent processes - quarterly/annual reviews/audits, for example.

Here's a different source that shows no such drop. These stats are highly dependent on how/where one measures. https://gs.statcounter.com/browser-market-share

FTA: "And at home, where independent news sources like The New York Times are blocked, China’s propaganda push appears to be astonishingly effective. "

An alternate interpretation: most people who use slack use it for work.
