Let's say you write some code that handles numbers differently, say a library that implements quaternion math. For doing graphics manipulations. Then you try to use it with tensorflow maybe for some ai-driven optimization. Is it going to work? Probably not out of the box. You will have to do some munging of quaternion data type to shove them into tensorflow tensors. Do the same thing in Julia with Julia's flux, it probably will, and maybe even with the gpu That's the difference.
I have not yet read in detail how you use SGX. But setting up SGX requires complicated processes and signing contracts and other paperwork with Intel. (Correct me if this is wrong.)

Given that setting up the "systems" requires a huge effort, I assume that the architecture assumes a single central entity is running all these core systems, right? If yes, does the system rely on these core components to be up? If yes, how does it not rely on a central authority?

Another aspect I don't yet understand: Traditional cryptocurrencies solve the distributed consensus problem through mechanisms like proof-of-work or proof-of-stake. What does MobileCoin use as a consensus mechanism?

That’s the time scale it took place over, not the time scale it took to take place as I’m aware.

That said, native peoples have also played strong roles in maintaining the ecology of grasslands in e.g. the Great Plains through... fire.

But at the same time, those same natives who propagated breadfruit throughout the Amazon were also present as it transitioned from being partly savannah to full on rainforest again.

Life’s what you make of it I suppose.

Suppliment maker/seller here. I agree, its a surprisingly shady business. However many store/drogery brands too have their flaws. Big brand suppliments often contain cheaper chemical alternatives, while smaller brands sometimes really care about the actual source product.

The DynGenPar http://www.tigen.org/kevin.kofler/fmathl/dyngenpar/ parser sounds similar to the IParse parser I have developed since 2001. IParse is a simple recursive decent (top-down) parser with memorization. See: https://www.iwriteiam.nl/MM.html . I wonder how well it works with FMathL.
> Non white patients are inherently fewer than white patients

Look at global population statistics. While there are no official global figures for ethnicity, we can make some simple inferences based on continental distribution [1]:

North America + Europe combined (17.19%) is barely as much as Africa (17.2%), and this is ignoring the fact that a good part of the North American population is non-white. There is nothing "inherent" about there being less non-white patients. The issue is inbalanced access to health care and screening programmes, but that is not inherent.

This is without even mentioning that Asia accounts for almost 60% of the global population.

It's not just the federal government — the problems with ransomware in healthcare are the same problem. Similar issues are emerging at the state level in places like universities, which used to roll out platforms all the time, individually or collectively.
Or do it like Germany does:

* Fundamental groundbreaking science research is done in research institutes without pressure to teach or get industry grants, with 100% state funding - the Max Planck institutes

* Industry-relevant research runs in entirely separate teams, either in applied-science institutes - the Fraunhofer Institutes - or universities, with mixed public and private grant funding

Presto, no more pressure for industry sponsors of blue-sky fundamental research.
Are the richest 10% responsible for half because each percentile generates 5% or because the 1% generates 49% and the other 9% basically generate nothing?
I'm guessing it's a conflict between developers and management. Questions like "what protocol should we build our messaging system on top of" is an implementation detail decided on by the developers at the beginning of a product's lifespan. Stuff like handling encrypted messages gracefully is simply a developer doing their job thoroughly, not a directive from management to focus on the XMPP API. Then later in the product's life, when they want to build a platform and business integrations and sending money and all that other monetization stuff, restricting third party client access suddenly becomes important.

I think mathematicians only become famous when they are being driven by/driving an industrial revolution. Just look at the digital revolution. I have never heard of George Boole until a quick Google search, but he laid down the framework for Boolean Algebra in 1850. Claude Shannon is a much more recognized name, even though the impact of information theory is smaller than that of boolean algebra (considering that BA is a prerequisite). Is it possible that George Boole was as popular in the 1930's as Shannon is now? Maybe. Perhaps the fame of mathematicians is staggered, as the applications often drive their fame, and the applications often come ~50 years later.
I save the few most important ones in Firefox's bookmarks bar (usually links to references of the APIs I use most often.) I have a ton of other bookmarks in the bookmarks menu but I don't open it anymore.

I started to share web pages to Telegram's Saved Messages which is synced to every device of mine. Then I search in that conversation. Not very organized but convenient enough. I also don't need an extra account (eg Firefox) or self host (Firefox has a sync server) and it works cross browsers and cross OSes.

I also keep about 100 tabs open on my phone's Firefox. They are a kind of bookmarks storage too :-)
This is what I don't get in EMA stance, they're basically leaving this decision to each country regulator.
A different take: in this line of work especially the “40 hour” requirement is an unethical backdoor way to impose a non-compete condition. It’s not entirely an arbitrary number since the 40-hour week has been customary for decades. But in practice there’s no good reason to demand that allocation of time for an exempt, salaried employee.
Anecdote -- in the last 15 years I've had exactly one unicorn. They do exist, but they are very rare. And worth their weight in gold, I was really sad to lose ours in a layoff. Scrum masters, project managers, and marketing folks all seemed to be first out the door when money got tight

Some people let themselves be force into things. I find it quite sad that they lack the strength to just say no.

Edit: Peer pressure is a bitch especially when it's from your own family but don't let yourself be manipulated by it.

Edit2: Some people have pointed out that it's not easy and in certain cultures be enough to kill a person.

Now it's amazing that this in this day and age that is acceptable but i guess you can get away with anything if you say the magic word: "It's my religion/culture".

However ask yourself this: I have 1 life am i willing to spend it all in a cage with some people i barely know making the rules?

If the answer is yes the the give up already you don't have a choice if the answer is no do whatever it takes.
I was an early adopter when T-Mobile rolled out their $50 unlimited everything plan in NYC. The pros outweigh the cons, but they do sometimes give me pause. I don't have service in 90% of my apartment in the middle of Manhattan. It is a newish(2001) building, but my fiancee has full service from Verizon. Outside of NYC the service is fairly spotty compared to bigger networks. T-Mobile with an unlocked 5S is priceless for travel. I just got back from a trip to Japan, and the Philippines. You don't need a SIM card. The phone joins the network it supports, and T-Mobile texts you your limits. 200mb of 3G data, unlimited text messaging, and cheap phone calls were included in my standard unlimited plan with no configuration. I pay $77.76 a month for unlimited everything, and 2GB of tethering data. I suggest it in a bigger city or if you travel internationally and need to stay connected. I give pause to people in the suburbs. I am sure it will get better though.
ADA is a federal law, so I don't think it would make any difference within the US in different jurisdictions.
Wow, 21% per year sounds awesome. It doesn't quite compound the same way as an investment account, but seems good short term.

My own experience has been that training is mostly a waste. I've seen maybe 6% raise per year if I was lucky. I'm basically in the mindset of preserving what little I have by not spending it.
Yup, all these rapid-dev frameworks and tools may be fantastic for rapidly developing and refining a prototype.

But that is just the beginning of the process, the job is barely half done.

The devs must then focus on exactly what is needed in the code to refactor and strip out every unnecessary instruction and byte of download.

Page load times and refresh times that are more than 3-digit milliseconds rapidly become unusable. When it is 5-dicit milliseconds, on a modest machine, you are shipping junk, and should not consider yourself a developer. Amateurs can do better.

Wow, do I miss the days of the 5KB web page competitions...

What an absolutely mind numblingly self centered and brain-dead take.

It's got nothing to do with the "noble act" or other such nonsense. They are there so that people with disabilities don't end up living a second class existence, locked out of large parts of modern life, because it is not economically sensible to add disabled access to your building or service for the very small percentage of potential customers who need it.

"natural freedom to kill each other"

Although that's not a binary thing, I have the natural and legal right to kill in legitimate self-defense. In rare situations, stealing is allowed to prevent a greater loss.

In this case, most of us, even those of us who don't like the GPL in practice like me, are not primarily arguing the GPL, but RMS's stewardship of GCC and GNU Emacs about something that's allowed in I believe every FOSS license.

Just not in these two projects under the aegis of the FSF. Unless and until they fork, or RMS is somehow convinced, whic history says is not the way to bet.

Win10 is particularly bad. I have recently started to maintain some Windows infrastructure and have been simulating a new deployment with Server 19, Win 10 clients, Win 7 clients, etc... and the start menu on modern Windows is absolutely unbearable. That combined with the constant full screen takeover modals for basic permissions, and the default icon collapse task bar ... it’s definitely a high bar for a new user.
I think your claim that hate speech is indefensible. Because in order to show it exists you would have to define what it is and what it isn’t entirely, and not allow that definition to expand. But that’s not really possible, so really what does exist is people who try to call things hate speech things and then make others conform to that.. but what do you do when they start defining legitimate criticism as hate speech? You can’t do anything if they’re enforcing things by law (ie guns).
I had a similar then different reaction . First I didn’t think it was real. Then I thought it was hideous. Now after looking at and reading about it more I’m starting to like it. I’m hoping Tesla starts using more of the same design cues in their other products.
Chrome OS supports “native” printing. I think it’s more or less

The problem would be mostly solved if Windows added native support and added a giant warning when anyone tries to install a printer driver saying that it’s a terrible idea.
The story of Toyata and GM's joint plant in Oakland (http://www.thisamericanlife.org/radio-archives/episode/403/n...) had the opposite experience. GM workers did a shoddy job to keep up with the line, and Toyota improved build quality by allowing line workers to refine the process. The upward feedback from the line was the important part.

Who is supposed to get motivated by foreign innovation American business people who want to help the US innovate? In that case, they are already motivated without being outcompeted.

Foreigners? Why do they care about the US innovating?

The US Government? OK, so imagine that it works. Now they want to encourage innovation: how do they do it?

Ooops, I thought this article was going to answer that question, not pose it.
It's probably easier to get it running in a VM, since it expects a very plain 32-bit IBM-compatible machine and doesn't handle modern things like USB. Just set your VM to emulate the oldest hardware it supports.
word of advice: never combine the phrase "rock star" with "hacker".
Yeah, that's bad positioning. Presumably they connect you with people who have ideas and who can help build it, sell it, finance it, etc.
"Can you imagine an App store, but solely for education?"

No, actually, I can't. Sentences like "markets work and monopolies resist that" make no sense to me. If markets work, how are there monopolies in the first place, unless monopolies are naturally part of the market? How does the market on its own prevent immoral or illegal activities without oversight? Will education in this manner cause a perception of a zero-sum game, preventing collaboration among teachers working the market in competition for the same money? In what sense are test scores meaningful, and could you put your money into changing the tests? If so, given 100s of tests, which are the most relevant?

How do you measure the value of physical education? Of learning to draw? Of performing in a school play? Of understanding inductive logic? Is it the number of likes vs. dislikes? How do you judge a department head who does a great job in keeping all the teachers working well, but is only an average teacher? Is the solution in that case to take money away from the head, or help get better training as a teacher?

In the app store model, who decides? How do they get this information? How are most not overwhelmed with data, causing analysis lock and/or hitting the paradox of choice, thus leaving it up to highly suspect gut feelings?

It's probably flagging, voting ring detection

Hmmm... I'm not sure exactly how the voting ring stuff works, but I've heard that people can get tripped up by asking large numbers of, say, Twitter followers, to upvote them. I know the OP of the link in question, and I know he has a very large Twitter follower base. If he tweeted the link, it's not outside the realm of imagination that the subsequent voting pattern could have set off some anti-spam mechanism.

Of course this is all just speculation; but I think it would be wrong to rush to judgment and conclude that "HN is racist" because of this.
As a hardware tester at IBM, this makes me happy. I never see any adoration. People think of it as a 9-5; not as a chance to "best" somebody.

All I am pointing out that gifted kids likely have supportive environment that nurtured their growth, even if it's just parents that can throw money at problems. What happens if you throw societal support at them? They will likely do even better.

They will be better educated, have more economic opportunities, more financial support from society, and be more well connected.

Meritocratic programs exacerbate inequality and grow the divide between the kids at the top and those at the bottom.

Maybe we shouldn't stop doing them, but we need to think about supporting the bottom, such as free lunch, without exception.
As a point of order, tax avoidance is perfectly legal and encouraged by the IRS. Tax evasion is illegal.

There are many legitimate and ethical reasons why someone would want to avoid taxes they're not obligated to pay.

To your second point about calculating and tracking these expenses, it gets messy really quickly. Certainly do-able, but messy nonetheless. Imagine having a 1099 that is dozens of pages long because it's basically your yearly credit card statement. Imagine having to pay a capital gains tax of like 5 cents on a starbucks purchase. Interestingly enough, this isn't a requirement when paying for things using foreign exchange. You don't have to track gains if you take a vacation to Europe and pay for things using Euros. So I think the goal is to have crypto transaction treated like a Forex purchase.
Encryption keys don't need to be as long as one time pads.

One time pads need to be large enough to encompass the size of all communications which are encrypted by them. Encryption keys need to be a couple k in size at most.

For 2 and 3, basically the author is stating that the use of a one time pad is redundant at best, and potentially crippling at worst (since the capture of a copy of the OTP compromises all communications, backwards and forwards, and it would be tempting to re-use the OTP instead of constantly having to meet back up and generate a new one).
