> I asked her whether she will accept a paper without sound academic bibliography. She said no. Then why would she believe in extremist videos with shady citations and outright lies?

This is very common. I would even say the norm. No person is fully rational. Rather, people may think rationally about certain things — their "speciality", perhaps — but not about others. Everyone is irrational in some ways.

> But if what we see today has never been seen in history

Which part do you think is historically unprecedented? The technology of course is unprecedented, but I don't see anything about the beliefs of people today that's unprecedented.
Will the video evidence they are taking down be archived and provided to law enforcement?

If not, seems like this is a gift to the rioters, overall.
Revenue minus costs is what matters.

If you have three employees, costs of 500k/year and revenues of $26 million, you're a success.
This was not about airport security - he had already de-planed and was trying to leave the airport, having already passed through immigration.

One of the things the US is supposed to be really big on is freedom from Big Brother. Having legally entered his own country, not attempting to get on another plane, and offerring to cooperate as long as someone, under color of authority, would verbally go on record that he was required by law to do so, with specifics. Nobody was willing or able to actually do this. Nobody was clear about jurisdiction. The police wouldn't do anything without the TSAs instructions.

The TSA didn't know what's up - and I for one would like the people in charge of security in the airport to know what's up, right?

EDIT: From the sounds of things this really was more about poor airport design and people flow as well as misunderstanding of policies.
I fully agree with most of the civil liberties and health concerns I've been reading online about these "Federal Security Detectors," and it certainly is ridiculous that you have to be scanned AFTER flying and AFTER passing through customs just to get home from the airport, but seeing as TSA agents are really just there to carry out policy given to them from their superiors, it seems a little silly to claim that such an action "prove[s] that it is possible."

With an organization with as many employees as the TSA, it seems to me that whether or not one can bypass security really just depends on the specific TSA agents and supervisors dealing with a specific case. This isn't really a blueprint for bypassing TSA security... more like a personal anecdote of a time when the author bypassed security because the TSA/airport security were tired of dealing with him.
~20% is a significant drop (from the CBS poll earlier in November) in public support for scanners, but I don't think this issue is polled heavily enough to draw conclusive observations about trends.

Roughly half of Americans objecting to the "pat-downs" is heartening, though.
because Dropbox is awesome
When you arrive from an international flight at Atlanta airport, you have to go through security to get out of customs because there is no direct exit out to the street. In other words, when you arrive and go through border control and customs, the only way to get out of the airport is to go through the other terminals. I wonder if the same applies at Cincinnati/N. Kentucky airport.
If your system's fine, it might be ram usage.

Seriously, it's probably a system issue, my four year old laptop runs Safari extremely well.
I'm not sure that laws in general really need a rational basis[1], but invasive exceptions to your Fourth Amendment right require a rational basis (i.e., a reasonable suspicion).

Did anyone defend his opinions? Insulting the journalist is not defending Moore. Using the title from his wikipedia page when calling him "some random" is not defending him either.

But, why? The upload time / cost must be enormous (on my home DSL it would take all year to upload. And the value of online remote storage is seriously limited by the access time.

This is like the fragmented 20TB hard disk (considers the magnetic upper limit) - even if you had a disk that size the seek times would mean months to take the data off.

It's nice to have but the uplift needs to occur throughout the whole network for there to be benefit.
Here is a better source for the hypothesis and evidence: Glyphosate probably causes cancer, says WHO + Lancet paper. [1]

Yes, Glyphosate happens to be an ingredient in Roundup, which happens to be manufactured by Monsanto. Neither are the primary subject of the scientific hypothesis.

The point of the piece is not "every aspect of the Amish is good and they don't have any genetic problems, either".
Actually there is no evidence of this, a good proportion of of the food produced is actually used to feed animals which is the most inefficient way to produce food.

Just by eating less meat (which makes sense because we are not supposed to eat so much meat), suddenly we don't need to product so much. The actual price of the food is so low currently that what you pay in a supermarket is mostly the externalities. Switching to cleaner methods would not lead to starvation providing that we would eat differently.
I think it's just used to increment a play count.
This helps when your password is lost along with thousands / millions of other passwords in a breach -- attackers would be trying to re-use passwords programmatically in bulk and wouldn't detect your algorithm.

But if you were individually targeted i.e. a human attacker is looking at your password, your algorithm would provide access to many of your accounts with little effort.

I used to use this solution, btw, but have now gone to a unique, complex password per site with a password manager.
Now I'll be ready for my date with Sansa Stark!

This actually works out well for me since I don't host any "free" projects there, but I suspect DigitalOcean will be deploying a whole ton of VPSes in the next month with the Dokku image running ;-)
Suppose an all powerful god controls everything that happens to us. Could not such a God give us the knowledge that we have no free will?
No. Sociology conferences and various thinkable still exist. I'd argue the he incentives for an ml conference are far more similar to those of a policing company then a sociology conference or think tank tasked with analyzing the impact of predictive policing on minority communities.
That's fine but the article you linked to doesn't support genetic limits. Was there a different article you meant to link to?
From my perspective as a former federal government employee, it seems more realistic than cynical. I agree that your second question would be a way to test this perception against reality.
I'm a lawyer, I have no idea why it would be illegal. Are you giving them rewards for sexual favors, drugs, machine guns or votes?

Beyond the sort of obvious things, I don't know why you'd be breaking the law.
This comment is proof that any idea, no matter how simple, can always be feature-creeped.

Not that that stuff wouldn't be useful. But it would have been really easy to say that any one of these things was a 'must have' for a first implementation, and by the looks of it, is clearly not.
This is fantastic! Great find. It reminds me a little of the idea of pen and paper attacks, like this http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1721494

But writing a book as an attack vector is certainly epic.
I don't have that enabled but zsh also expands bang constructs with tab. So any commands I want to double check, or if I am demonstrating to someone, I just hit tab. Also handy for expressions like !-2:3 where if I messed up I can just hit "undo" and then retry.
In my case fastmail.fm, zenfolio.com, and pinboard.in.
It's certainly easy to connect up an Android phone to by Fedora desktop.

As for compiling iPhone apps, I agree that OSS sucks. But that doesn't really commend OSX as a platform : It's just something that's being forced on me by Apple.
Yeah, but who's going to come up with the operating capital to get that new entity started? Yahoo doesn't want to spend money on Delicious; that's why they're dumping it. And outside investors aren't going to be eager to put money into a company that's been stagnant for years. Granted, without Yahoo's mismanagement, Delicious might be able to become vibrant again; but "we're not crippled any more" is not exactly a compelling story to tell to investors.
This guy picks that upper limit based on the idea that an attacker can't hit the webserver more than 100 times a minute, which makes me question how much he knows about crypto. He doesn't take into account someone who has access to the password hashes.

So assume they've got something lame like SHA-1 hashes, even on commodity hardware you're talking about 100,000 hashes a second. Now you're at 2.5 years. Setup a simple cluster or buy some CPU cards, and you easily get into the three month range.
I was using my phone for contactless pay but stopped during the pandemic because I realized it was more cumbersome than using a credit card to do the same thing. The phone tries to scan my face, fails because of the mask, then just waits for a hot second to see if my face might change shape, then prompts for a password. With the credit card, I just swipe it over the reader and I'm done.
8,662 employees at the end of June last year.
There are established people in this space with very easy to setup solutions, like Zettle (PayPal) for example - who also offer connected receipt printers, barcode scanners, tablet/phone terminals and integrations with ecommerce, accounting and so on. The only real advantage I can see Apple having is if they charged a lower transaction fee, but it's going through Stripe, so no - 2.9 % + 30c versus 1.75 %. I don't think waiting for hardware is a major factor - you can get a terminal shipped next day if you want.

I mention Zettle because it's hugely popular in the UK. A lot of market traders use them, which has probably saved a lot of businesses that would traditionally be cash-only. COVID has helped to encourage cashless purchasing too. Europe generally has always been pretty ahead with contactless payments (Zettle was a Swedish fintech before PayPal bought them).
They aren't new (2010) - this is a Windows thing - speculation is it's a policy decision to avoid awkward conversations with various governments (presumably large customers) about TW , PS and others -- see long discussion here for instance https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/flag-e...
I must have conflated Keccak's "slow without specific hardware/extensions" with "slow on purpose against GPUs". Both are similar (why would a GPU have an operation for cryptography?) but obviously not the same thing.
Can it receive contactless payment from android phones (e.g. google pay)?
Maybe, depending on how much of their revenue comes from hardware sales.

Eventually they'll just be an app that runs on the phone, making it significantly easier for a business to signup to use their service.
this "protest" is only showing that next time, BLM needs to march with trucks.

But then again it is also showing that perhaps the cops side more with the right-leaning "protests".
He went out of his way because he simply doesn't carry cash anymore, what's so hard to grasp?

I live in a capital city in Europe and I hardly ever have cash at hand because EVERYONE accepts credit cards, I can even go days without reaching for my wallet because of NFC.
Is Zoom here to stay or is video conferencing here to stay? Google Meets and MS Teams are pretty good and built into their respective Office suite products.
Looking good and this only helps confirm that web IDE's are going to be the big thing in the next couple of years.

I've been predicting/preaching about this for 2+ years now and been building my own browser code editor in that time (http://icecoder.net).

So, CodeAnywhere gets $600k in funding, Adobe is releasing Brackets to the browser soon, GitHub is launching Atom as a web based offering.

Need much more reason to leave the desktop behind?
Go was never supposed to replace C++, it was supposed to replace Java in server applications. Happily it seems Python and Ruby developers are finding good use in Go too.

How was a garbage collection language ever supposed to take the place of a manual memory management language? The area that C++ shines in is systems programming, and you can't do that with Go, because of garbage collection. Rust on the other hand, is precisely made for systems programming.
> Which also incidentally are words many people would not want their projects to be associated with.

Then those people can use different logos for their projects?
On speex you can see the transformation from something small and innocent to something professional. Xiph itself has a very professional appearance now and the Speex replacement Opus has quite a nice looking logo: https://mf4.xiph.org/jenkins/view/opus/job/opus/ws/doc/html/...
OMG Lol, fornicating turtles?

What is this even trying to say?
Suppose that by "placebo effect", we really are identifying a marker for something like "experimenter effect" or "physician effect" and only on subjective end-points.

I believe it would still be correct, and of practical value, to say that the placebo effect is real. Prescribing someone a placebo results in them receiving the experimenter/physician effect - they subjectively report feeling better - that's a good thing.
Perhaps a campaign to raise $500 to spend on fiverr.com should be organised?
I think the emacs one is great. Guix and and c-graph could possibly be salvaged by simplifying and stylizing.

Ah you're saying they might lower the offer assuming the stock will recover? Unlikely in the extreme I think.

The implication here being that the virus will disrupt society in such a way that people will need to hunt for their own food or hire people who will do it for them?
All of these things seem learnable with available resources except the art of conversation, something that I actually need a lot of work on. And recommendations on how I can improve on this?
>Tensorflow Summit came and went with zero information on Swift for Tensorflow, it was all about JavaScript, C++ and Python.

It was truncated to one day when they made it virtual. There were swift announcements slated for day 2, which was cancelled entirely.

Regarding windows:

There are also frequent commits to swift master and projects like swift NIO working on windows compat, from google. Also the S4tf stated they had future plans for swift on android.
When I watch his speeches (which is rare, because it makes me a little ill), I watch them unedited. I don't watch the news at all, I find it just as gross. I have been watching his speeches as they relate to the pandemic because I want to know when we're going to switch from "OMG shut it all down" to "Here are the steps we are taking to get out of this."

I understand it's hard to see when you are very partisan, but not all of us see everything through a left/right filter. I just want the facts (as close as is possible).
Flour and yeast were one of the first things to go. As was regular bread.

Either all the bread machines were dug out of the closets or those bread recipes from Pinterest are getting put to work.
> This is such a nonsense being pandered by people who make money on it.

Are you suggesting there’s more money in the market of selling index funds than there is in the market of selling you the idea that you can beat the index? Because I’ve got news for you...

> You, you can absolutely "time the market". You just can't do it exclusively based on the chart. The real world is still there, and it's important, you know? And Stock Market and savings accounts are not the only investment instruments available to people. And you don't have to be all in or all out.
Maybe if you don't have time and skills to think about it, etc. then this makes you feel better about your "investments" because "there was nothing you could have done better". But it's still load of rubbish.

There have been countless studies done about this, and countless fools who tricked themselves, like scratch off players and gambling addicts, who think they’re winning. It’s exceedingly uncommon for investors to beat the market over 10+ year periods.
CL is a language. Not an implementation. One may need to differentiate between a language and an implementation. CL is defined so that different implementation strategies are possible.

CL itself has two different compilation interfaces COMPILE and COMPILE-FILE.
A file compiler may implement a multipass strategy, where calls to later in that file provided functions are resolved.

A compiler may also provide different kinds of compilation units. IIRC CMUCL does that. See "block compilation".
It's also about respect and being professional. Al set a higher standard than Gaga.
This whole "I used the language for 2 weeks so now I am qualified to change it radically" attitude is well-established in the Lisp community (yes I know Steve Yegge is a veteran lisper, but this still applies, especially to some of the other commenters). The authority on this is Brucio, the fictional author of "Lisp at Light Speed" http://replay.web.archive.org/20080722232746/http://brucio.b... Bruce's First Law of Lisp is "If it does not do exactly what you expect with zero hours consideration or experience, it is a bug in Lisp that should be fixed."
Same principle: The original Tron being essentially impossible to find (I think I saw a DVD for like $300 on ebay) on any service... until... The Tron: Legacy blu-rays came out. Then suddenly, the original Tron is easy to find. And the crappy 480p torrent that I may or may not have downloaded now may or may not have been replaced with a (purchased!) 1080p rip.
> "good culture"

I didn't meant that I'm interested in making a demo scene around "good culture", whatever that is. I meant I made games before. Alone and as part of team.

If people come to me with stupid ideas, I'm going to shoot them down. Or at least offer mitigations.

And in my original post I implied:

- Are you rich enough to take Paradox to court? Disregard my advice.

- Are you in a jurisdiction Paradox can't sue you? Disregard my advice.

If neither of these apply, you ARE running a risk of getting sued by them. Which while probably low enough, isn't zero, and might changed based on popularity of your leak.

No worries.

The STT was first imposed in 1909. They started rebating it at 100% in the 80s. They didn't have the political power to outright abolish it. What should happen now is that rebate should be removed.

The STT is a 0.5% sales tax on the value of stock trades, 0.1% on debt and 0.005% on derivatives.
The word platform is dead. Not it means nothing. It's now joined the rank of 'service as a service', 'platform on demand', and so on
Scrum is a religious belief and when the religion is not able to deliver, many discard it and leave.

However a minority of the believers cling to the belief ever more tightly, claiming that the real issue is a lack of faith.

Flipping the pages of the magazine is awesome - the ads on every other page are just like time travel.

An ad for an oscilloscope in a computer magazine! Heaven!

My mom subscribed to Byte during that time period, and I remember counting the days until the next issue would arrive. There were so many cool articles about fundamental things, many of which were over my head as a high school kid. My favorite part was Ciarcia's Circuit Cellar.

In my view all of the computer magazines went downhill (for me) when personal computers began to mature, and the articles stopped being about nuts and bolts.
I'd buy this thing for the 'wake me silently' alone.
Maybe if the server admin is an emacs fanatic and has deleted vim. And prohibits you from building it locally. err... nevermind
As someone mentioned above it matters so you can stop it happening again.
thanks for clarifying. A fundamental flaw in rationalism makes itself clear:At a certain point one has to stop relying on his own intellect when deciding on a particular action due to the constraints of the brains ability to accumulate enough information. This is an insurmountable obstacle. A rationalist can at best be described as one who will rely on his own certain knowledge when possible.
Thanks for your efforts.
I experienced this.

We moved from the US to Sweden while I was in the middle of elementary school in the 90's. In the US there was very much the culture of "school sucks!", and when we were let out for summer vacation, everyone would cheer that school was out for summer!

Imagine my surprise when we were let out for summer in Sweden and kids were crying they wouldn't meet teacher until next school year.

Of course, there's also the variance in the schools I went to in the US and Sweden - the US one was more urban than where we ended up living in Sweden. But I remember there was much more of a media (TV) culture of "isn't school lame and boring?" with patronizing PSA style "no actually learning is cool!" propaganda that fooled nobody and actually served the opposite purpose
This adult doesn't remember that 'School Sucked' because for me it didn't.

I realize I and the other children in the area at the time were lucky though.
Simon Peyton Jones, one of the creators of Haskell, has been on that point for awhile too (https://www.slideshare.net/kfrdbs/peyton-jones). I think it's his main area of research working at Microsoft actually.
> besides those they get from their parents

Most students don't have well-educated parents, so I agree the exposure is important.

My point is that, if this is ever going to happen, there needs to be more money directed at education.

On a related note, I went to high school in a town where there were essentially zero white-collar professional jobs. Parents were working either on the manufacturing line, in a call center, at the Walmart, steak-n-shake or gas station. The nearest cities, Jacksonville and Orlando were both at least 90 minutes away.

Where do we find the retiring-professionals for these students?
Tried to install it from F-Droid, didn't work.

Installed it from Github, it wanted me to pay for putting a colour on my account(??) and it will remind me of something something.

Nah man...don't do that if you actually want to sell a pro version. Just state it upfront and I will consider it. putting it in while I'm already adding an account and letting me read some long list of features I won't have if I continue right in the middle of the configuration is a dark pattern to me.

They lost a potential customer here.
I agree with you. I think more PIs are realizing that. I know of some who have machine learning scientists that have second jobs in industry. They tolerate it because they still do everything asked of them well and in a reasonable time frame. I am not sure how they handle conflicts of interest though.
