And today, we are excited to announce that USV has made an investment in a decentralized network infrastructure project called Helium. I would encourage you to read that blog post as it explains a lot about how Helium works, how the token economics builds the supply side of the network infrastructure, and why it fits so neatly into our investment thesis. We plan to run a Helium hotspot or two at USV and it would be great to see people powered Helium networks popping up all over the place and providing very low cost, low power, highly reliable long range network infrastructure.

To show a tooltip when a user hovers a bar, we’ll need to trigger changes under two circumstances:

Thankfully, d3 selection objects have an method that will execute a function when an event is triggered. There are actually two things wrong here, let’s focus on the first:

If we look at the CSS, our tooltip is absolutely positioned:

Absolutely positioned elements are positioned relative to their containing block. There are several ways to use CSS to position an element using percent, and each way uses the percent of a different value:

Since we want to shift our tooltip by its own height and width, we’ll need to use the CSS property.

The English rock band Radiohead has decided to sell some of its unreleased recording materials after a hacker stole them and threatened to leak them in an extortion scheme. In a tweet today, Radiohead guitarist and keyboardist Jonny Greenwood said a hacker last week stole lead vocalist Thom Yorke’s minidisk archive, which contained recordings from around the time of the band’s 1997 studio album, OK Computer. A brief product listing on the Bandcamp website, apparently written by Yorke, describes the materials as “my archived mini discs from 1995-1998(?)

If all goes as planned, the first clinical trial in the United States testing CRISPR against cancer by altering the DNA of tumor cells inside patients could begin recruiting participants next year, the scientist leading the effort told STAT. Seventeen studies using CRISPR to treat cancer have been listed on the U.S. registry of clinical trials, but most of those use this genome editing technology to engineer immune cells to attack tumors. If it receives the OK from the Food and Drug Administration, which it plans to request in the next few months, it would recruit six to 10 patients with late stage non-small-cell lung cancer and test whether using CRISPR to disable a particular gene would allow standard chemotherapy to work better and longer, ideally buying patients a little more time.

We use the notion of Finite State Machine to design our game state. The circle is the state. Hope you enjoy

Every time you changed your code, you should run the above command again.

Last month, a number of media outlets ran stories touting claims from a study posted on Twitter that alleged nefarious connections between antifascist activists and national-level reporters who cover the far-right. On May 15, Eoin Lenihan, a far-right social media user presented what he said were excerpts from a data set that proved prominent reporters who cover extremist movements were “closely associated” with antifascist activists. Quillette, a publication dedicated to “free thought,” gave Lenihan a bylined article on its site to share his claims, where Lenihan embedded posts from his Twitter thread, echoed his assertion that reporters were working to promote antifascist activists, and accused them of violating professional ethical standards.

June 08th, Encryption for gopher ——:

I thought I’d write up my current thoughts on encryption for gopher. This means that
under a reasonable threat model gopher lacks the security properties:

* Integrity meaning that the data you’re trying to access is
unmodified. To keep in the spirit of gopher we should figure
out a simple encryption system that a normal programmer can implement
in a weekend.

The State of New York, where many have died, told us they tried to connect us with families of people who had fallen ill, as did a Brooklyn branch of Mount Sinai Hospital. We put a call-out on the New York Times website asking to speak to families affected by C. auris, recognizing this came with the risk of tipping off others to our work, and got nary a bite. One doctor in New York told me that patients, and their families, don’t like being associated with the illness, as if they had a scarlet letter — “A” for auris.

What is rather less striking in this composition, unless one is familiar with the medieval iconography of the animal that has occupied our attention here, is that somewhat to Héloïse’s left the sculptor has chiseled one such, a beaver, facing away from the couple, evidently indifferent to their unquenchable passion. In a 1669 study the French anatomist announces: “It can be seen from the exact description that we have just made that [the perineal sac] is not the beaver’s testicles, as many distinguished naturalists have imagined.” [13] He tells the story of Pliny’s mockery of Sextius, who had believed the old tale of the beaver’s self-castration, while Pliny for his part insists that this is impossible, since “this animal has its testicles attached to the spine of its back,” and thus, presumably, cannot reach them with its teeth.

Seven years later, George’s venture into the Pacific has become a flashpoint in the growing debate over the possibilities and limits of technology and unilateral action to fight climate change. In a recent paper, Pasztor warned of a “chaotic and dangerous future” where “a single country, a large company or indeed a wealthy individual might take unilateral action on climate geoengineering” — perhaps injecting aerosols into the stratosphere to reflect sunlight, which would change the climate a lot faster than any ocean dumping ever could. Iron dust in the oceans

The idea George pitched to the Haida villagers was simple.
