Note that 2channel's URL is not 2chan.net, but 2ch.net, and it's a text-only site. It is more commonly known as "2ch". It's interesting to see that both 2ch/2chan have not really changed since they were created, whereas 4chan went through quite a bit of "modernising". I wonder if 4chan might start turning back to a 2ch/2chan-ish style with this.
Best Quotes/Dialogues of the Joker
That isn't how they said they got the information, so I don't understand the relevance. This is how they said they got the information:

Someone said that if any object in the Universe has a non-zero second derivative of velocity (aka jerk, or "acceleration of acceleration") it's a sign of intelligent life.

Something similar should exist in the information theory. An encrypted signal can't be "too random", there should be some metric that distinguishes an intelligently designed signal from a random one. With spread spectrum and other tricks they can make it harder but not impossible to detect and separate from pure noise.

What is that metric? I have no idea, just trying to theorize. At least the opposite should be true, that for example the cosmic microwave background can not carry any useful/meaningful information other than just "signatures" of the particles that emitted the signal. So there should be some metric that's different for CMB and any signal that has something else in it.

Edit: I don't think the metric in question is entropy, although someone might convince us that it is. The problem with entropy is that, an object that consists of just a few types of atoms may emit a signal that would look very "orderly". That signal would be the spectrum with a few distinct frequencies in it typically emitted by those atoms.
I'm confused why would think that roads (a basic network utility) are comparable to IT applications that use use a basic network utility. IT applications are to the internet what food delivery, personal transportation or freight transportation are to roads.

Researching drugs or developing IT applications are not basic commodities.
Funny how these things are. My reading of the last 20 years is the exact opposite.

We've gone from talking about how devices will change how we live and work to having devices that are changing how we live and work. Ok they weren't VR or TVs, they were sensor heavy mobile devices. But still.

And they're not completely pointless. They may not have solved world peace but they've changed comms in quite positive ways; I have to travel for work and video chat to my family is a wonderful thing.

Also, over the last year or so, I've seen a noticeable increase in people taking an interest with their health due to Fitbits and the like. Having that feedback loop, although a small thing, can make quite a difference.

I can see this sort of thing having logical extensions into the home because we now carry sophisticated control systems with us. It wouldn't surprise me in the slightest if we don't start getting QR codes on menus/food packs with nutrient content, for example.

Don't get me wrong, I fully appreciate that what I'm talking about here are all first world solutions to first world problems. But the idea of connected stuff affecting ones life isn't in the future.
I can certainly buy the narrative that the military is spending too much money or designing weapons for the 'last war'. Yet I have a nagging suspicion that this is like the business users complaining that IT won't just buy everyone $200 laptops to save money. Devil's advocate: what could the Airforce's rationale be? I hate to write off the professionals so quickly.

If you need a turboprop attack plane to deal with a specific threat, you can fast track something cheaply because it's a widely known/used technology. The converse isn't true. You can't go back and decide you need a top tier $trillion fighter in a month.

Loiter time is important. Yet most military engagements in history are decided by speed and firepower.

I really, really miss the days when there was more than one manufacturer of computers.

I think it was in 2002/2003 when I was last in the market for a non-apple device and there was a lot of interesting competition ... thinkpads, sony vaio, HP ... Dell had some great laptops ... there was actually a reason to scroll through gizmodo/engadget and look at new products coming out.

Now there's only one.[1]

I really do think that the macbook air is the final evolution of the laptop computer. Yes, I do wish I could pull the battery and yes I do miss PCMCIA and yes I cannot use a laptop with a single port[2] but the 13" MBA that I bought in late 2008 lasted 7 years of hard use and three battery swap-outs (done by apple, of course).[3]

I don't really understand why other manufacturers can't make a MBA ... I'd like to see some minor competition along the very, very final bits of design latitude you can have in this thoroughly distilled form factor ... but for whatever reason Dell/HP/Sony/Lenovo refuse to just make their laptops out of metal for god's sake.

I wonder if this is where we are going with high end cars ? I notice the exact same inability to function on the part of all the incumbent car manufacturers. It's how many years since the Prius came out and how many years since the Tesla roadster and Porsche just announced an all electric car and of course it's a concept car?[4] BMW has a brand new 7 series with the predictably lame hybrid option mated to some little lawnmower engine. Just concept cars and half-assed hybrids over and over again. Meanwhile, Tesla has a dual-motor, AWD supercar for sale.

There used to be more than one maker of high end four door luxury cars ...

[1] Well, actually there's two - apple for laptops/desktops and supermicro (god bless them) for anything that goes in a rack.

[2] New macbook 12" with the single combined USB/power.

I think we are talking about overhearing communication between aliens speaking the same "language", where compression makes even more sense over a difficult channel. Consider data transmitted from spacecraft in our own solar system. The signal is quiet, and the bitrate is very slow. They could send uncompressed data if it is were easier to receive, but instead they recognize the bitrate as a physical constraint and optimize for information per bit. Uncompressed data could provide an advantage in terms of redundancies making errors more apparent and often recoverable, but error correction algorithms are both more robust and more efficient.

The point is that compressed transmission actually is simpler, and a formalized error correction scheme is much more reliable than relying on redundancies that arise by chance.

What about the parent comment belies anything factual? There is no data on alien transmissions, and the efficiency of compression and formalized redundancies just is, as a result of the math, not as a finding of collected data, even if real world data confirms what is mathematically understood.
> "Apple doesn't believe in the long tail"

Thank - you've succinctly put into words what's been bothering me about this whole affair.

Economically, I am in the long tail (middle class 3rd worlder) and I think I've found the disconnect between me & the anti-ad folk. They are bothered by ads, and think if ad-supported sites shut down, nothing of value will be lost. Whereas I am not bothered enough by ads to feel strongly about it, and I don't want the ad-supported sites I frequent to disappear. I most likely won't afford to pay subscriptions in a post-ad world.

I don't mind individuals blocking ads, but I fear the entire ad-supported ecosystem will be destroyed if a critical mass is reached.

Business: Games

Secret: Most game releases, however sturdy and flawless they might seem, are a snapshot of a cardhouse in a storm, momentarily held together by baling wire, gum and worn tufts of the souls of overworked game developers.
Edit: Actually I found some OECD stats[4] on that suggest that _public_ spend in the U.S is actually higher than the _public_ spend in Canada/UK/France (though for the latter two they are almost in margin of error territory) so the parent is correct.

Original post:

No, it's not true. In 2010-2011[1], US had the highest expenditure in the world on health per capita according to WHO and OECD, but those stats are combined public _and_ private expenditure.

World Bank stats show Norway & Switzerland as spending more per capita[2] over the same period, but then says that 'data is in current U.S dollars'. The data for these stats is from WHO, so not sure if currency fluctuation or something else is a factor here?

According to [3], per capita public healthcare budget for 2011 was $3,768 vs. an overall spend of $9,146, so 41% of the total healthcare spend was public money.

In any case, I think all these stats can reliably posit is is that combined public and private spending on healthcare in the U.S per capita is one of the highest, if not the highest.

Entertainment media are specifically designed to elicit an emotional response. Books, movies, games, music, if they didn't make you feel something then why would you buy it?

If we dislike being afraid so much, why would we seek out a game like Amnesia: The Dark Descent or a movie like Saw? Could it be because despite the emotional response, we're still rational actors with a firm grip on the separation of fantasy and reality?

Come as a tourist. You do not need to be physically in SF to run your business. In many countries (not all) you can continue to work for your startup or clients outside the country. In fact, you should have an existing startup established in your country.

This doesn't really make sense to me. Even if it was encrypted, you would still be able to detect a powerful, directed radio signal wouldn't you?
I stand corrected then. Photos are probably still encrypted under "accessible after first unlock" class. Sigh. Sorry for this mistake.

The idea of having a security architecture with different classes of data still remains, so a third party app can quite easily leverage this, for instance. Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be a comprehensive list of protection classes that each app uses for its files.
If anyone has questions about how to do this, or what this means for Kickstarter, feel free to fire away.
I don't think the author of this post ever actually read Starship Troopers, I imagine they've only seen the movie, since the book is hardly pro-war.
It actually does. The 30mm is a heavier bullet (even without taking the depleted-uranium core into account), and the case holds more powder, so it has a higher velocity. Both of which add up to more energy imparted into the target.

In 1987 Microsoft sold Xenix to Santa Cruise Operations Group for a 25% ownership shared of Santa Cruise Operations Group.

In 1993 Caldera purchases Santa Cruise Operations Group, and renamed their collective company to SCO Group. Caldrea was part of Canopy Group which has a lot of subsidiaries.

Round about 2003 the SCO vs. Linux fight started. Microsoft still owned Caldrea stock, and provided them financial assistance as they attempted to sue the entire world.
