This seems really nice as a sketchpad for small flowcharts. I'd definitely use it to map out a small piece of work, because I'm terrible at laying out flowcharts on scrap paper without wasting space or painting myself into a corner.
One minor annoyance: I can't use tab/shift+tab to indent or dedent lines.
I think people here (USA) see the news out of China/Italy and think it's not that bad here, without realizing we're 1-4 weeks away from starting to see how bad it will actually get.
> ...must be cleaved by furin or furin-like proteases to become fully functional. Anthrax toxin, pseudomonas exotoxin, and papillomaviruses must be processed by furin during their initial entry into host cells.
From the sound of this:
- the site on the virus gets cleaved
- Furin enables the cleaving
- Furin exists in hosts cells
What I think I understand is, the cleaving makes it easier for the virus to reproduce inside the cell?
edit: turns out I have no idea how to format things on HN
The kind of tank design that appeared in World War I. They were designed to cross the cratered wastelands and trenches created by the fighting. The crews fought from gun ports and mounted cannons/machineguns, rather than a rotating turret.
I have no idea if molten salt reactors are as awesome as this website represents them to be, but I thought the following point was interesting:
"light water reactors can use only about 4% of their available energy."
They're comparing with 1960s reactors designs, so maybe more modern water reactors are more efficient. But, it's still amazing to me that there's that much more energy that we could potentially harness from the fuel.
1. The position and size of the upgraded engines for the 737 MAX caused the plane to tend to pitch upwards, which could cause a stall.
2. Boeing was concerned designed MCAS to automatically push the plane's nose down to prevent stalls
Every single piece of reporting I've seen on the matter refers to MCAS as an anti-stall device.
Pilots of 737 who have talked to reporters refer to it as an anti-stall device.
I have a hard time believing that this information hasn't been fact checked to hell and back yet.
It's interesting to me that the system would be designed to detect that a sensor is feeding it bad data, then go back to trusting that input after it had been determined to be bad.
> Why would you want the IRS to duplicate this effort and compete with these companies?
Is tax collection not a function of the government? I'd rather my taxes fund a free, easy tax filing system than pay fees to rent seeking middle men. Those fees are just an inflated tax by another name. We should be eliminating those kinds of taxes, not entrenching them.
> If they do it in-house, do they even have the expertise?
Government websites and software have a reputation for being ugly, slow, broken and poorly designed. Government is also capable of building good tools. Two organizations that have done good work and could conceivably work with the IRS are:
