My example probably wasn't the best as too much is already given away. It's more like this:

- We have a manned aircraft

- We have an aircraft that can travel above 60k feet

- We have an aircraft that can sustain or exceed Mach 8 (EDIT: strike this part as it connects two facts already: "at that altitude")

- We have an aircraft called the XF-42

- We have an aircraft based in Middle-Of-Nowhere, AZ

- We have 10 operational aircraft of some specific type

Any one (EDIT: or all) of those details may be unclassified, but as you start pairing them up classified information can be derived from it. Note that in this, somewhat better, example only one item identifies the aircraft (rather than my initial example in which both items identified it).

Publicly it may be known that an XF-42 exists, even where it's based, and that there are only 10. Publicly it may be known that an aircraft exists which is manned, travels above 60k feet and over Mach 8. But the two sets of data may not be joined in public because that would give more information than desired (in particular, that there are only 10 indicates a limit on the capability of the mystery superfast and high altitude aircraft).

EDIT: Regarding some of your other comments.

If I spread the information out and tell you how to reconstitute it so you can make a cohesive whole, I've just obfuscated the classified information which is the same as leaking it straight up.

Regarding "poisoning", this is how it's done. If you have a document with TS data, the document is TS even if it's a single line item surrounded by unclassified data.
This is the first thing that came to my mind reading the headline as well. I'm sure Apple has a head start on R&D and of course they are an amazing organization with plenty of resources but overcoming the engineering challenges required to implement a self-driving electric car in 5 years is optimistic to my mind.
Somehow, thinking about how much money Besos earns (is it 78 billions this year? [1]), I find smile's slogan "Experience feel-good shopping" a bad joke at best.

Yep, my experience has been anything labelled ultrabook works pretty well. My main linux laptop is a toshiba z830. The only problem out of the box with Ubuntu is a fairly easy to solve backlight issue.

In particular, though, there's an ancient piece of conventional wisdom that always floats around that's very pro-nvidia+linux, but I think it's terribly outdated. AMD and nVidia compatibility with linux are both quite bad and both the OSS and proprietary drivers create a lot of problems for both. You're better off just using Intel straight through, their OSS drivers are plenty good for dev work and quite stable in my experience.

Keycaps are somewhat standardized, so unfortunately that would make the keyboard incompatible with third party keycaps.
If a laptop isn't fast enough, a NUC wouldn't be either. The NUC is an ultrabook in a small desktop form factor - the "Core i7" branding you see means less than the "U" at the end of the CPU part number (which means that the CPU is a low-power part).

If you need a portable powerhouse laptop, you need a 15" MacBook Pro. Mine is a quad-core with 16GB of RAM and it's by far the fastest laptop I've ever seen. It's not a great gaming machine simply because of the lack of games; though more and more games are seeing Mac ports than ever since 4 of the 5 major game development engines support Mac (and it's hard to justify support for SteamOS if you don't support Mac as well). It's not cheap; but between price, portability and power you can only pick two.
No-one is arguing that children from minority communities should be prevented from learning an international language. The only question is whether they should be prevented from learning the language of their heritage.

Multilingualism is the norm. And it's easy enough to learn Math in English, English in English, and literature in your mother tongue.
Actually the key differentiator of PayPal, at least according to Thiel, is it wasn't an algorithm. It was a method to abstract the transactions enough to allow a fraud analyst (not a computer, or even a computer/data scientist), to interpret the patterns.

It had some cute name that I can't recall right now. Hugo or something? It was spun out into a separate company to use the same philosophy to fight terrorism. That company is Palantir and seems to be Thiel's opus magnum.
I must have misunderstood you. You made a statement that I parsed as follows:

"If (this stuff isn't escaping) then (the JIT can prove that it isn't using a lock)."

That is logically equivalent to:

"If not (the JIT can prove that it isn't using a lock) then not (this stuff isn't escaping)."

Hence, I was explaining that using a lock doesn't count as an escape. But apparently I just misunderstood your meaning?
...is probably contextually inaccurate.

Yup, those should have been two separate statements:

1. Node made a bigger initial splash than go

2. A large number of organizations that deal with high-volume, highly-concurrent data sets and API traffic are either in production with Go, or are experimenting with it. (All the companies I mentioned have Go in production)

Oh dear, you and nullc are right, and I am wrong. My apologies. This patent was granted, and so they do have a patent for claim 1 (and also for the other claims). I was confusing it with a patent application.

It's surprising to me that even the cursory prior art search of examination didn't turn up this idea, since it's so simple, doesn't use any of the meat of the invention described, and the idea of ranking by citation was well-known, e.g. for academic papers. I think applying that to hypertext links is clever and insightful... but not patent-worthy (like many other patents). Upon litigation, I think claim 1 might not stand. But regardless, the patent was granted, so they do have a patent on claim 1.

Thanks for taking the time to correct me.
They appear more vigilant to their managers and overseers, for one. If every single traveler is simply ushered through, it could look like they're being lazy (not necessarily efficient). And there is a clear bureaucratic incentive to meeting a quota of passengers who will get extra scrutiny. Without marking at least some minimal number of passengers for increased scrutiny, the TSA interrogators, FBI stand-by, etc would have nothing to do and no opportunity to gain real-world "practice" applying their job training and skills.
In my experience D3 is very much like that. Before you wrap your head around the way its data binding model works it seems totally arcane (esp. if you are like me coming from using other visualization tools, like matplotlib, where the hello world example is just "plot(x,y)"). Keep banging your head against the wall, it will eventually crumble and all will become clear.
I, personally, am not that pleased with my Android phone. The present trend might be in Apple's favor, but, presumably, Apple will have to keep executing well to maintain that momentum.

Countries I'm researching: Panama, Chile, Singapore, Hong Kong, Vietnam. All have ups and downs. Read the works of Doug Casey, Andrew Henderson (Nomad Capitalist), and Simon Black (sovereignman.com) for information on how to get offshore corporations and bank accounts so you can do business overseas, and second passports so you can optionally be unaffiliated with the US and don't have to worry about having your passport revoked by the US.
You know, it's a personal choice and feeling. I know Ruby well, (bc I knew Perl very well) - but Rails 3 is just bulky and cumbersome. I felt like for the most part that I was wading through thick water every time we had to add more features. Granted, the Rails way I haven't agreed with, and we hated having to move from JS <--> Ruby/Rails or do the front end work in a clunky HAML/ERB view (we moved to using no views - just JSON API calls and rendering client side). We eventually found that the front end was JS & the back end ended up having to be python (for computationally heavy tasks). SO Rails just acted as the intermediary, which I felt was clunky. (Although I miss migrations in Sails JS). Does that help?
approximation? dude, that's some serious business.
Out of curiosity, where do you work?

I'm in the process of negotiating a similar setup with my employer, at my previous organization I worked 60% and also felt very happy with that. It seems to be hard to arrange unless an employer already knows you, though. (At least for interesting/challenging jobs with growth.)

Do those work on people over 70?
I'd argue that if apple didn't have a monopoly, we'd have stores that catered to privacy conscious people far earlier.

If apple didn't restrict the OS so much, you'd have people making their own Facebook clients, wouldn't have mattered if Facebook liked it or not. The monopolization of Facebook's control on personal connections is partially because of closed OS's. And Apple's iOS is one of the most responsible OS's that gave rise to Facebook's data monopoly.

Had it been like Windows, there wouldn't be a way that Facebook could've maintained their monopoly.
This, by the way, should not be called "science". Science is a methodology of establishing aspects of truth (via reproducible experiments).

What it should be called accurately is "modeling". Mostly oversimplified and plainly wrong (like the Bayesian sect or any kind of predictive modeling - look how all covid models and simulations missed everything).

So, it is data modeling, not data science. And it is important to realize and understand the difference.
It is proprietary, so there is no proof they didn't tamper with the code to appear to be working on clients. And chances are against the fragile link in the chain - the user.
Many are quick to jump and state that we should all have 100% privacy, and that governments should not look into our communications. At the same time we are asking for the government to protect us. Something like 9-11 happens and we blame our national security officials. Something like the Boston Marathon happens and we do the same.

At some point we have to choose: Natural Freedom or Societal Freedom, but we cannot have both.

I for one believe that we should TRULY consider recording every message we send/receive.

We should have a very high threshold for using these communications against people, and making sure they can only be used for matters of the people's security.
>Infecting a computer with a virus... As long as they did not harm, the morality of even infecting a computer is questionable.

This is bullshit.
Even if a virus doesn't intentionally harm, it does anyway harm.

Connections will become very slow, because high priority is given to uploading stuff from one's computer to nsa.
User will get inexpicable blue screens or exotic error messages that nobody can help to fix: asking for help in forums will just bring annoying answers of "experts" suggesting to upgrade Windows/Flash/HW/programs versions.
Installation or execution of some programs will be prevented, making computer usage a pain.

Infecting a computer is legally and morally a crime.
Give me a break. Artists are "forced to sign"? Since when?

Artists with good contracts retain master rights after a period. An artist signs to a major label fully knowing what they are going to get. They do this in exchange for the possibility of attaining something they most likely won't get.

If they don't want that remote chance of stratospheric success, then they sign indie or go at it alone.

Labels are run horribly yes, no mistake about that. They are a 15 year behind method of operating. But don't for a second believe that the culpability doesn't go on both sides. At least until you've read a deal memo or been party to a signing.
Get out of bed immediately when you wake. Then drink a tall glass of cold water. Do not go back to bed.

I'm not a morning person, but if I've been up for more than an hour or two, eaten breakfast and gone for a walk before the events of the day start, I could probably fool you. The trick is to get up and get started.
In my experience being a morning person is mutually exclusive to integrating with (most of) the rest of society.

I was born a morning person, but high school and college forced me to abandon that lifestyle. Eventually my body caught up to me (10 years later) and I had to go back to being a morning person again. It was a simple thing to fall back into... I just started going to sleep around 9 or 10 in the evening. The nice thing is I now wake up without an alarm after 8 hours. Getting some early morning exercise and a decent breakfast help, too. Cutting back on caffeine as well - I dropped coffee for a few blends of tea, mostly green.

(The one thing that doesn't help is being up at 12:30 AM on a Saturday morning waiting for the cross-compile of a linux kernel for my used-to-be-Nook to finish. This is almost as slow as bootstrapping Gentoo from stage1.)
Github for source control, probably Firewall Install if we could afford it.

How about introducing viral replication qualities to the content. Instead of malicious intent, snippets of content can be deployed all over the web with some mechanism for a simple retrieve/compile. Ideally, the content packets would not even be stored anywhere but would just constantly travel the "wires".

Fast forward to year 2012, and judges say it's OK to seize domain names.

Then it's Constitutional by definition. Congress, however, can pass a law amending the Constitution to prohibit the seizure of domain names. Then it's no longer Constitutional. Do they not teach the three branches of government or checks and balances in middle school anymore?
I’d love to switch to telegram, but their default messages aren’t even end to end encrypted. And secure messages are not available for groups. So it’s not a great option for privacy actually.
(3) Less work. People need to work and be useful, but they don't need to slave away for 40-50 hours a week. Humans evolved to work for about 20 hours a week, and I think that as soon as automation and society permit it, we'll get back to that.

That's a very naive view. The prevalent mentality is "If you can make me $2000 by working 20 hours, then you can make me $5000 by working 50 hours. Why should I settle for $2000 a week if I can get $5000 a week?"

How do you envision technology changing that mentality?
> The reals are not Well-Ordered under the usual ordering, and they arenot Well Ordered at all. Certainly if you create a Well Ordering of the reals then it's not the usual ordering.

Again, you assume I don't have a basic math education! I do!! I know about choice and Zorn's and stuff like that! Obviously the usual ordering of the reals is not a well-ordering.

> intuition will be inconsistent with other axioms that you accept to be true.

Like?

> Why should it not be that between any two transcendentals (of which there are uncountably many) there are "a few" (by which I mean only countably many) rationals?

Your intuitive argument here strikes me as circular. Yes there are uncountable reals between two rationals, and countable rationals between two reals. But that only implies "almost all" if you accept that "uncountable" already means "almost all" a priori! Where does my intuition break down if I think of it as a "slippery little bit" more?

Please don't assume I don't have basic knowledge of undergrad pure math in your answer, as mathematicians always do.

While that may be true, those aren't the only criteria. (And, the efficiency is only fuel efficiency.)

looks interesting, I'm not sure the signup/intro page quite put across _why_ I should use the service enough, I only 'got it' a bit later. But as a set hosting service I would probably use it anyway.

few thoughts (some already covered):

* buttons look disabled, I was waiting for them to un-ghost
* the "skip" links should be more prominent during signup since at the time it slowed me down.
* signup/design was generally very friendly
* please don't alert me to sign-out, I know what I'm doing, and it's not that bad if I made the mistake

No disrespect to joshu (who is around), but I never had a single non-techie friend who used delicious. For whatever reason, only reddit (and to a lesser extent Digg) have been able to break out of the geek echo chamber when it comes to social news. Slashdot, which had a 6-10 year jump on all of them, never could do it either.

Maybe it's the .com. Who knows.
just because the odds are against you doesn't mean it isn't fun. gambling is mostly fine as long as you know your limits. The problem is that it is an addictive behavior, and if you are addicted it becomes a huge problem.

I'm have a math major. I know that i'm likely to lose money playing roulette. yet i'll put a few dollars down when i'm on vacation on a cruise ship because it's entertaining and fun. the difference is that i view it entirely as an entertainment expense, and limit myself to a reasonable amount of money (that is generally really low). How much entertainment i get (how long i get to play) depends on how lucky i am. if it's gone it's gone, there is no getting more out to play longer (which is where people who are addicted generally struggle).
the whole point is clean your eggs but dont wash them down unless you want to go the whole nine yards and seal them up again. they may taste funny but eggs canbe cracked into a bakeing pan and freeze dried or airdried for shelvage.
i do this all the time and keep egg powder in jars and cans.
Many native speakers of Spanish and other languages are also confined to their homes right now. This means there are a lot of multilingual professionals eager to help native English speakers learn. There are a number of sites that facilitate remote, 1-on-1 lessons for many languages. You can get 1:1 teaching for under $10/hour (a bit more if you want somebody with teaching experience - imho not that necessary if you're motivated). Plus it's a great way to socialize. I'm currently using Verbling but there are others. Highly recommended if you're into learning languages but have hit a plateau.

> the effects of the global domino triggered by conoravirus will echo for many years to come.

Why? As far as I know there's no underlying systemic financial reason for a depression or recession. The virus sucks. Some companies will no doubt have a bad quarter or two. But viruses pass, and this one will too.

> I'm afraid that in this new reality my software/management skills won't be of any use in 6 months.

That seems hyperbolic.

I think there's a misunderstanding here -- the social justice folks were/are still a core part of Scott's audience. Without them, you're right, the conversation would be pretty one sided. Or at least, incomplete.

The difference is that the usual tactics that would earn some social justice advocates the title "warrior" were not tolerated. E.g. empty accusations of someone being racist, sexist, etc.

And the above did not only apply to social justice folks, it applied as well to others. Scott handed out permanent and temporary bans to those all across the political spectrum based (at least in my view) mainly on how mean they were being.
This is awesome thanks for posting. I managed to make some mean cartoon videos for some friends.
At what time did you and who else try the gold standard anyway, and how did it fail?
I don't know. In this case, I ultimately suffered no material adversity at all (the company in question was a spinoff from the lab where I did my PhD, and my advisor simply wrangled some short term employment for me at the lab), and I would have hated for somebody with longer term perspectives at the company to lose their jobs over a misunderstanding.
> It would be a violation of the 1st Amendment to require Twitch to host objectionable content against their will.
