On the other hand McDs all across the country I’d interpret as having been to a lot of McDs in different states with a wide geographical distribution. | null | null | 41,792,702 | 41,792,055 | null | null | null | null |

Meanwhile a sister L3C invests in the original NFP without profit motives, but retains call stock options WITH voting rights (only if the option is NOT executed). The for profit LLC is just a holder of the stock and IP in Ireland, nothing suspicious about it, do not concern yourself with this entity.<p>Source: I made it up | null | null | 41,791,583 | 41,790,026 | null | null | null | null |

41,792,811 | comment | jerf | 2024-10-09T21:23:36 | null | "I'm often thwarted by the fact that for anything requiring remotely decent speeds, python most of the time already delegates to C extensions and so any rewrite is not as useful"<p>Be sure you verify this is the case for whatever you think it is, though. Pure Python is so much slower than compiled languages (not just Rust) that you don't have to do much percentage-wise in pure Python before you've badly fallen behind in performance versus the pure-compiled alternatives.<p>I think this is asserted a lot more often then it is benchmarked. I am reminded of the way people for a long time asserted that the performance of web languages doesn't matter because you spend all your time waiting for the database, so it never mattered. People would just whip this argument out reflexively. It turns out that if you take a non-trivial codebase written in such a language and actually benchmark it, it is often not true, because as applications grow they tend to rapidly outgrow "all my code is just running a SELECT and slamming the results with minimal processing out to the web stream". I hear this a lot less often than I used to, probably through the slow-but-effective process of a lot of individuals learning the hard way this isn't true.<p>I've seen a lot of Python code. Very little of it that was not "data science" was just a bit of scripting around lots of large C-based objects, such that Python wasn't doing much actual work. And even some of that "data science" was falling back to pure Python without realizing because NumPy actually makes that shockingly easy. | null | null | 41,792,418 | 41,791,773 | null | [

Of course, this might not be easily achievable.<p>For sure, but for ostensibly profit-generating enterprises, it's pretty much out of the picture.<p>I think the reason an actual computational solution for folding is interesting is that the existing set of experimentally verified protein structures are for proteins we could isolate and crystalize (which is also the training set for AlphaFold, so that's pretty much the area its predictions are strongest, and even within that, it's only catching certain conformations of the proteins) - even if you can get a large set of metagenomic surveys and a large sample of protein sequences, the limitations on the methods for experimentally verifying the protein structure means we're restricted to a certain section of the protein landscape. A general purpose computationally tractable method for simulating protein folding under various conditions could be a solution for those cases where we can't actually physically "observe" the structure directly. | null | null | 41,792,595 | 41,786,101 | null | null | null | null |

41,792,833 | comment | AnthonyMouse | 2024-10-09T21:26:41 | null | That isn't really the main concern. It's really a question of alienability.<p>If your great grandfather invested in something a hundred years ago and now 99% of its value is appreciation (or inflation), you may or may not want to continue investing in it. If you do, the step up in basis doesn't really matter because you're not going to sell it anyway.<p>But if you now think it's a mediocre investment, you may be inclined to sell it and invest in something else. Except that you won't if you'd lose a significant proportion of its value to taxes. This is a problem with capital gains taxes in general, but it's especially a problem for anything held intergenerationally (i.e. for a very long time) because not only will the appreciation be large, the <i>inflation</i> by itself would represent most of the value of the "gain". So the step-up in basis is a stupid hack to avoid this and let children make different choices than their parents and grandparents without being punished by the tax code.<p>There are probably better ways to handle this, but "delete it and replace it with nothing" is not one of them. | null | null | 41,790,699 | 41,780,569 | null | [

41,792,849 | comment | dekhn | 2024-10-09T21:27:50 | null | Most proteins don't fold to their global energy minimum- they fold to a collection of kinetically accessible states. Many proteins fail to reach the global minimum because of intermediate barriers from states that are easily reached from the unfolded state.<p>Attempting to predict structures using mechanism that simulate the physical folding process waste immense amount of energy and time sampling very uninteresting areas of space.<p>You don't want to use a supercomputer to simulate folding; it can be done with a large collection of embarassingly parallel machines much more cheaply and effectively. I proposed a number of approaches on supercomputers and was repeatedly told no because the codes didn't scale to the full supercomputer, and supercomputers are designed and built for codes that scale really well on non-embarassingly parallel problems. This is the reason I left academia for google- to use their idle cycles to simulate folding (and do protein design, which also works best using embarassingly parallel processing).<p>As far as I can tell, only extremely small and simple proteins (like ribonuclease) fold to somewhere close to their global energy minimum. | null | null | 41,792,595 | 41,786,101 | null | null | null | null |

41,792,871 | comment | dekhn | 2024-10-09T21:29:58 | null | The value in BLAST wasn't in its (very fast) alignment implementation but in the scoring function, which produced calibrated E-values that could be used directly to decide whether matches were significant or not. As a postdoc I did an extremely careful comparison of E-values to true, known similarities, and the E-values were spot on. Apparently, NIH ran a ton of evolution simulations to calibrate those parameters.<p>For the curious, BLAST is very much like pairwise alignment but uses an index to speed up by avoiding attempting to align poorly scoring regions. | null | null | 41,789,928 | 41,786,101 | null | [

It is not. The reason for the right hand to carry the melody is the sound projection of high notes, nothing to do with handedness.<p>Incidentally, many famous composers in the piano canon were lefties. Rachmaninov, Prokofiev, and Ravel all have strong evidence of being left-handed. CPE Bach may have also been a lefty, as may have Mozart and Beethoven. This is not "right-handed people making right-handed music" by any means. | null | null | 41,792,755 | 41,758,870 | null | null | null | null |

All they did was break them up and then all the regional bells and smaller companies just re-constituted themselves again in some other form. The deregulation created more competition, but it was short lived because of economic pressures.<p>For many business customers, their first dealings with local telecom companies that were competing with Qwest at the time were horrific. Business customers would lose their landline and internet service for days without any idea when it would be restored. Cutovers were problematic and a total crap shoot if they went smoothly. Qwest regularly tagged the wrong lines that needed to be cut over. The billing nightmares of moving off of Qwest to a local company were too numerous to remember. Many businesses would switch for the savings and within a few months, would switch back because it was just one thing after another these companies couldn't get right. Suddenly paying a little more for the peace of mind far outweighed any savings they were getting.<p>I suspect Google customers will have the same experience so I'm still on the fence whether it will be worth it long term. The one argument you can make is that Google isn't simply a company that needs competition, but that's its actually doing damage by how they manipulate their search rankings and what results they're delivering to people - so in that regard, they absolutely need to be broken up. | null | null | 41,792,314 | 41,784,287 | null | null | null | null |
