There are times when it is necessary to recognize that we are interacting with the environment, not in our capacity as logical problem solvers, but in our capacity as social apes.

"This presentation is bullshit. You have no evidence, nothing valuable to show, just spurious subjective opinions. You've put up a straw man and now are trying to knock it down assuming we are idiots. I've seen enough."

At this point, the correct response is "Yeah, I've seen enough too. This interview is bullshit. I'm surprised you clowns are still in business. Good day." And pick up your stuff and walk out.

Obviously that won't get you the job, but nor will anything else; in reality, as very often happens, they made their decision no later than ten seconds after you walked into the room. (Anyway, would you even want to work for people like that?) Continuing to stammer meaningless-in-context words about tech stuff will just result in damage to your self-esteem, which can have significant negative consequences in your life for years down the line.
Little Bites of Cocoa #114: Creating New Apps with Produce

In Northern areas, there's a lot of practical value that gets overlooked. In Boston, the sun is rising close to 5:00 AM as it is at the height of summer. Without daylight savings time, it would be rising at 4:00 AM. I think most people would rather have extended daylight late in the day than have all that extra sunlight wasted when we're sleeping.

The counter to that is -- well, let's always stick with daylight savings time then. That has problems of its own. For example, sunset is a little after 4:00 PM in Boston in late December. If we stuck with daylight savings time, it'd be a little after 3:00. That would pose risks for school children walking home, etc.

Yes, I realize that people in Fairbanks Alaska have it much worse and daylight savings doesn't fix the problem for them, but there are a lot of people who live in the northern parts of the lower 48 that benefit from the time shift.

Also worth noting that the "observing all of time" thing which I mention in the last line suggest that this model of FRP arrows can be acausal (along with other things). Indeed it can! And this is a major semantic and implementation issue. Arrowized FRP does exist and solve these issues, but at the end of the day the ((Time -> a) -> (Time -> b)) model can be considered only inspirational.

They could've avoided this at least partly with a sealed bid process and a (secret) minimum reasonable bid to disqualify ridiculous low bids. Advertising the fact there is a floor but not its value.

At that point, rational bidders would have had no choice but to bid something they are willing to work for. Collusion between bidders is possible (as routinely happen for things like road paving...) but if there are enough bidders then it becomes impossible to collude with reasonable success expectations.

Further a registry is needed to allow black listing of trolls and penalizing of folks who routinely fail to meet terms. It would also be possible to give slight weighted edge to bidders that have a history of delivering conformant implementations.

Depends, did the life forms living in that obscure galaxy not observe it because the explosion eradicated them faster than their sensory observations could tell the explosion was happening?

Ie, even if the explosion occurred on a much faster time scale than their sensory biology, and thus wiped out their planets in an effective instant, I'd argue it made an impact even though no one was left to observe it.

LifeLock Acquires Bop.fm. Site to Shut Down
I think that presentation tries to explain why entanglement is less mysterious than it seems. I'm broadly a proponent of demystifying QM, myself; see also Quantum Computing Since Democritus, especially Lecture 9: http://www.scottaaronson.com/democritus/lec9.html , for instance, for the sort of thing I mean. QM is not really "simple" but we really ought to be past the "woo woo" phase by now.

It does nothing to resolve the other issues, like the quantum field's mass becoming greater than observed at the scale of the universe or other fundamental issues. Relativity and QM as we currently understand them really are at odds with each other and it's not just an interpretation thing.

You're confusing time zones with daylight savings. Time zones exist so that the same part of the solar day has approximately the same time associated with it wherever you are in the world (prior to the railroads, that was the only time - local time). So I can say "it's 4am in China" and you'll know it's the middle of the night without having to consult Google. They can also achieve the opposite, keeping neighbours on the same time when their solar days are actually different, e.g. within China. Sometimes that's useful.

Daylight savings exist for saving power (and were introduced in the war to do just this), providing more daylight hours for school children, and longer days for agriculture (now historic). There is debate about whether any of those reasons are actually valid.

When someone is changing a piece of code, how often do you think they will go through the commit history to see if someone else tried to do that same thing?

Commit history is very useful for forensics, and I strongly encourage writing useful commit messages, but if you want to say very clearly "Do not try this!", that shouldn't be buried in history, but be clear in the code itself.

That's not to say the best way to do that is just commented-out code, of course.

Thats interpretation of QM not QM itself as such no?.

Unless someone who know a lot more than I do tells me thats wrong I will go with what I have been told and read.

I am aware that many people want to demystify it or overmystify it, but the basic facts as far as I understand them are still that there are no interpretation of QM that satisfies everything and to the extent that it does you can't predict with it (like string theory)

This is not something that can be explained with the press didn't get the memo. Some very smart people have spent decades on this and still not come to a conclusion.

I don't know much about Theranos but after visiting their website (at least on my iPhone) it appears to be a great platform for Elizabeth Holmes' self-aggrandizement. The first half of the front page talks about how she's "empowering women globally to break down barriers in business," then a quote from her about a glass ceiling and some more fluff about her encouraging female entrepreneurship. And out of the 5 slides on the first page, 3 are about her personally, including the first one. If I'm a patient interesting in learning more about the quality of their lab tests, this would not be a great first impression for me. It's just bizarre.
There is ample psychological research that people essentially surrender there sense of self when acting as part of a larger organization. The incentives and pressures imposed by the organization are generally far more relevant to behavior than any individual motives.

Think about this individual case. Did Ken Anderson end up in this prison because the prosecutor was personally out to get him? I don't think so. I think he ended up in prison because of a system that is "tough on crime" and is designed to heavily incentivize high conviction rates sometimes to the extent that it produces wrongful convictions.

Then their superior genes are passed on, etc... However, this is no longer as much the case.

It's still absolutely the case... it's just that the fitness function has changed. Now evolution isn't testing to see who can outrun a wooly mammoth or sabre-tooth tiger, or survive without food for 27 straight days, or to see who has the strongest immune system. Now it's testing to see who can navigate their way through high-school, get into a good college, choose a valuable major, get a degree, and get a job making beau-coup money. Since it is still the case that those with more money (on average) have more reproductive opportunities, get better medical care, live longer, etc.

All of that said, let's not ignore that the physical stuff still matters as well. Unless a lot has changed in the 20 some odd years since I was in high-school, the jocks on the football team are still getting laid more than most guys. And being bigger and stronger and more physically fit is still correlated with success in the worlds of business and politics. I don't have the reference handy, but I'm pretty sure I've seen studies showing that taller men are more likely to be elected in political races. And having political power, again, tends to lead to more reproductive success, etc.
I think the GP question is not trivial.

The rationale behind SHA-1 being obsolete is that it will be used for password protection. The back end stores Hash(password+salt) and uses it to grant access. Finding any password_prime which causes a collision with password on Hash(p+salt) will brake the security of that scheme.

In this case, instead, the problem from the point of view of the attacker is to find repository_prime such that...

1. Is a syntactically correct program...

2. It is syntactically and semantically close enough to repository_orig that it will not be discovered by simple inspection.

3. The delta between repository_prime and repostory_orig causes a useful side effect in the program behavior (from the point of view of the attacker).

4. The delta between repository_prime and repostory_orig does not introduce other significant and unintended side effects that will trigger investigation beyond simple inspection from some legitimate maintainer.

I will say that this is a much higher bar to cross than merely "no collision shall be found". And if you are concerned that SHA-1 is not enough to protect against such attack, you probably have to consider that SHA-2 may not be enough either... You probably need to use half a dozen of cryptographically strong hash functions, preferably based on different principles, so that we ensure that at no possible delta can simultaneously fulfill all the 4 points above for every hash function.

And if you have reached that level of paranoia, you need to consider that the adversary will simply not bother and chose a different attack vector, like exploiting the bureaucracy of your commit process...

"anything is good enough when its the only option"

No, it really isn't. If it costs more than it generates, it's not good enough. That's why the power plants were built as they were in the first place; a lot of them date from when a solar installation simply couldn't pay itself back, ever.

> For example, sunset is a little after 4:00 PM in Boston in late December. If we stuck with daylight savings time, it'd be a little after 3:00.

This seems backwards. Sunset would be after 5 if they kept daylight savings.

I used to live in Boston, and I despised how early the sun would set. It made getting off of work demoralizing. I always liked the idea of just switching to Atlantic time. Whatever the case may be, I strongly value daylight later in the day rather than in the morning.
tldr:

1) LTE uses broadcast messages to do push notifications. These are unencrypted and unauthenticated. Researchers can trigger them silently by spamming you on Facebook, and triangulate your location since the LTE network only sends the pages to the geographic location you are in.

2) LTE supports crash reports that can potentially include your GPS coords. A rouge base station can request these from your phone without setting up an encrypted channel due to shitty baseband implementations.

3) something about denial of service

Our current evolutionary situation is not completely without precedent. A somewhat similar case is the birds of paradise. These birds have virtually no natural predators and need to only forage a few hours a day for food. With few other forms of natural selection at play, their evolution has been guided almost entirely by sexual selection, resulting in some dramatic examples of sexual dimorphism. I predict something similar may happen in humans.

But the OP was not talking about "religion" per se, he was saying that freedom is a natural result of following Christ, specifically following the words of Christ as found in the Bible.

Your example of the Middle Ages is a case in point: During this time, scripture was taken away from the people and mainly transmitted between clergy in a dead language (Latin). How could society develop an attitude towards freedom in such a climate of religious oppression?

>"You said criminal record - which driving offenses are."

I was more referring to the part about "driving people out of town" if they happen to have some minor criminal record (due to a driving offence as you suggest). That's a gross misinterpretation of what I even vaguely suggested. Private people controlling access to their private property isn't the same as "driving" someone out of "town". At least not unless the entire town is owned privately, or most/all of the individual owners in the town decide collectively to "not allow" this individual. But if you're at that level, then they might as well be passing local laws that will affect said individual anyways.

>"And your housing estate is not private property in the same sense your house is"

I don't live in the US, so please take that phrase with a little bit of interpretation. Where I live, there are very specific laws governing what they call "sectional titles". It's owned cooperatively as far as I'm aware by all the owners of the individual stands. And it is in no way "public" property in that the public has a right to access it.
