No it is not, not even close. At a job 10 years ago nearly, we had 50Tb in plain old-fashioned Oracle, and we knew people with 200Tb in theirs (you would be surprised who if I told you). A few Tb these days, you could crunch quite easily on a high-end desktop or a single midrange server, using entirely conventional techniques.

I for one don't care what the creators say. To me it's like the "GIF" thing: as a creator, especially when it's years after it's something that's part of the public consciousness, you don't have any say as to how people should pronounce the name of your product. Language is what people use, not what some people dictate.

I think the Ethereum approach is actually a good one. Ethereum will be the subject of quite a lot of study and scrutiny and its security properties should become very well understood.

Once that is true, then you can analyze the voting contracts specifically, which is a smaller problem.

Projects like Civitas can only be as strong as the amount of interest in them. But projects based on Ethereum can be, on some level, as strong as the entire aggregate interest in all Ethereum contracts.

Landlords often pull a credit report before renting apartments also. Mostly they're looking to filter out people who stiffed a previous landlord (which can show up as an account in collections), but a blank history may or may not satisfy them. The prevalence of this varies by area and type of landlord; corporate-owned complexes are more likely to routinely pull credit reports, while individuals renting out houses/apartments are less likely to.

Community service, ten days in jail, and losing his law license. For wilfully sending an innocent man to jail for twenty five years - having resigned anyway. That's a fucking joke.

"What's newsworthy and novel about today's plea is that a prosecutor was actually punished in a meaningful way for his transgressions."

I'm sure we'd all like to be so 'meaningfully' punished for serious crimes. It's better than nothing - which seems to be the usual state of affairs - but it's clearly one law for the rich and one law for the poor.
Last days of Ebola outbreak are as much about information as healthcare
Maybe they didn't want to sue - maybe they believed it was just an accident (shit happens), and without direct consequences to day-to-day life, they felt suing a hospital (and taking money & time out of system that generally helps people) is kind of an assole thing to do?

I know I would feel like that even if I got almost killed by hospital staff, but eventually recovered to full physical and mental capacity (if I ended up somehow disabled or permanently ill, then it would be another story).
It's a start, but 10 days is a slap in the wrist
You're trusting that they or their acquirers will honor the contracts that they have with you. In the case of Homejoy, my assumption is that the claims/promises they made constitute a contract with their users that limits their ability to make use of your data outside the described scope. IANAL, but I think there's a reason we don't regularly hear about things like this - it's actually hard to do without getting sued.

My guess is that you need to have the kind of wavelength that meaningfully interacts with human features and body composition (i.e. something that scatters and reflects off of you, instead of being absorbed). It's not specific to the WiFi spectrum though, there are plenty of frequency ranges that meet these requirements.

Amazon Payments plus VPN = account closed
I tried to pay for Humble Bundle with Amazon Payments while connected through VPN... Goodbye my account and all connected Amazon services together with AWS (with all the files and sites hosted...). As you can see below(1), "your account cannot be reopened" - I cannot even use AWS contact form, because I must sign in before. Amazon people from the main contact site don't know how to help me. So here I am, with a few sites hosted on AWS and no access to them.

(1)
"Hello from Amazon Payments."

"We are writing to inform you that we have closed your Amazon Payments account and cancelled all open orders."

"We took these actions because our records indicate that an unauthorized person has logged into your account. For your security, the credit card information stored on your account cannot be accessed via our website and your full credit card number is not displayed in your account."

Hm, I assume that if it were longer strings such that the branch is always predicted taken, that yeah it wouldn't speculate to the next string until the mispredict is found, which won't happen until the data gets into registers. If, on the other hand, you had Pascal-style strings with a known length up front instead of null-terminated strings, then the mispredict could be resolved independently of loading every byte of the string, and it could have outstanding loads for two strings simultaneously. But only for strings that span more than one cacheline.

The only limit for speculation is the OoOE buffers. I abbreviated it, but the inner loop is a minimum of 5 µops, so you actually end up hitting the ROB limit at 39 iterations before the store buffer is full. Though some architectures could reduce it to 4 with a compare+branch instruction. (x86 fuses this sequence to one µop but I'm not sure if it reduces the ROB entries)

If you don't hit the ROB limit, then even after you hit the store buffer limit, the load buffer can take some loads. So assuming 4 µops, 42 stores and 48 loads would be actively buffered while their cache misses are resolved.

There's no public documentation on what modern CPUs actually do for branch prediction; that's why I said "likely" - I'm not claiming that any specific CPU does precisely what I described. Just that it's likely to be better than "predict the branch as always taken." The more general "hash pc history as input to branch prediction" is a better way to look at it. How it's hashed and used is a trade secret.

Actually, thinking about it again, for truly random data the only prediction improvement over "always taken" is predicting the 32nd consecutive inner branch as not taken. Predicting not taken before that increases the mispredict rate...
There's a great documentary comparing the safety cultures of healthcare (individual blame) vs airlines (blame-free.)

As a patient, whether or not to have surgery is a tough decision. Surgery really sucks. Even if everything goes as expected, they are cutting you up, and putting you under drugs that mess with you so badly that you don't notice them cutting you up. You spend at least a few days, if not weeks, recovering, usually involving more drugs which come with side effects and addiction risk.

And that is when it goes right.

There are always small percentages thrown at you of the chance of possible complications, so a 3% risk of a drug problem is another one to add to the list. Even if there is a much higher chance of something going "wrong" during the procedure, we're talking about a scenario where I am already trusting my medical team to handle my body, deal with what happens, and bring me back to the recovery room . So an "Oops, oh crap, better fix this." moment is not shocking to me... I just assume it happens, and trust the doctors to react appropriately.

But all of that risk and all of the problems with surgery ... you choose that to fix what is usually a worse problem. For example, I once got to make the decision to have a surgery that had a 97% chance of letting me walk again. And today, I am walking.

Would it be great if there was a 0% chance of error? Of course! But I take it much more as an area in which we can improve, not a shocking metric that would scare me away from surgery.

Of course scientists can do philosophy, that was my point in mentioning Bohr as an example. And before modern specialization there was no clear distinction between philosophy and science, and for example Kant also did natural science even though he is most well known as a philosopher

Logic has traditionally (at least since Aristotle) been considered a critical branch of philosophy.

Feel your pain - I remember vividly struggling with these things when beginning. here's a few hints..

- Avoid floats as much as possible. They are useful, but understanding where and when to use them takes time. Using display: inline-block will take you a long way.

- Height comes from the parent element, in general. A really common mistake is trying to do something like 'height: 100%;' when the parent element has a height of zero and not getting why it doesn't work. Here's an example that uses 80%/20% height layout, without any craziness: http://codepen.io/dazld/pen/jbrLoa

- Whitespace is important with inline elements. Trying to figure out why inline-block stuff has a gap? Check if there is any whitespace around the markup, remove it and see if that helps.

Yes. It would have been nice to say something like, "We decided not to use Android. -- insert reasons for not using Android here --. Android uses a kernel called Linux that interfaces with the hardware. Instead we went with GNU on top of a Linux kernel". It makes it clear what's actually happening. If you've seen an Android machine and a GNU/Linux machine, then you can easily understand what Android and GNU provide on top of Linux.

Still, I was happy to see the comparison even if it was slightly misleading.
Nifty! There's an Android App which does much the same thing - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.pixel.came... - also also you to convert GIFs.
Probably right. But wouldn't action like that only have mild effect on the value of the stolen data anyway? There were no other announcements that came along with the forced password reset, so most people not knowing any better would change their passwords for 000webhost only and move on. But isn't the real value in cross-referencing multi-use passwords on other sites? I would imagine that only a very small percentage of 13 million users that are met with a forced password reset would proceed to then change that password everywhere it's used.

Fun thought experiment: What would you do differently if you were to actually set up a front operation solely for the gathering of password/email credentials from unsuspecting users? Would you make it stupid simple for people to hack such as 000webhost? Thereby dodging blame, or would you just leak the data in secret in obfuscated chunks so as not to give away the source?

Thanks for clarifying that. Did not know.
Then they would choose not to sue as a matter of principle, not because they didn't not have the resources.

Not denying what you are describing as good reasons, I'm just saying that listing "a lack of resources" a reason one can't sue in the United States is false.
I'm curious if there is a startup opportunity here to bring defense law to the masses. There is legal zoom for paperwork type issues, but could better knowledge of the law in the hands of a common man be a way to go?

super-Earths: rocky worlds that are up to 10 times as massive as our own, and potentially habitable

There are some places where monad composability would improve your code but in general, at least the way I see it, you can replace a scala for comprehension with a set of IF statements, each IF eliminating a wrong value (null, exception, etc). Not to mention that you can have as many options as you like (A|B|C|D|E), whereas the mentioned monads must be composed in order to capture the same thing.

But it's true I never built a big ceylon project, so I can't say I know how that works out in practice.
Gravitational attraction scales as M/r^2, so if the planets have larger radii they won't have 10 times the gravitational attraction.

That said, any speculation about life on super earths should be taken with a huge grain of salt.

> I think it's wise (in most case) to defer to older generations when stuck with serious questions like these -- and I doubt you'll find an older person/person on their deathbed who would say something like "I wish I would have spent less time loving, trusting, and committing to others".

It depends. From reading random biographies and quotes of famous people, it seems to me that the people we (as a society) most admire were the ones who had success in things bigger than just their relationships. Yes, they often regret screwing up the latter, but then again people tend to regret the things they didn't get right. People who had successful family life tend to regret missed opportunities, etc.

That perspective may change in me as I grow older, and it's probably also a product of my particular upbringing, but looking into myself now I feel like I would be disappointed with life focused on finding True Love, starting a family and dying a grandfather. It feels so... empty. Focusing just on yourself, on your family, when there are billions of people all around you, the whole humanity on this great planet. A grand possible future and so many problems on the road to it.

I know I would like to die knowing I helped everyone as much as I could, that my life had a positive impact on the development of human race. True Love would be a cool addition to that. And I would also like to see space at least once. But more than happy family life I would like to die knowing that some strangers, who don't even know me, are happier because I was here.

If you found that interesting, there's an excellent episode of This American Life called "The Arms Trader" which is another example of how messed up the law can be over the pond. The FBI (or another TLA agency) basically played both buyer and seller in a bogus arms deal, and managed to stitch up a bumbling old man for facilitating the transaction. It's almost comical how much handholding they needed to do with this guy to coax him into this situation, until you realise they then came down on him like a ton of bricks.

The reason TeX can be so unapproachable is the fact that it's a very different language from pretty much any other programming language you've ever used. It's not a Turing machine, and it's not lambda calculus. It's not even Horn clauses (which is the model behind Prolog). It's a string rewriting system; basically a giant cascade of rules like "rewrite this string to this other string" applied over and over until the whole input is consumed.

As it happens, this is yet another Turing-equivalent form of computation. The closest analogy I have is programming in Lisp, but with the constraint that you can only use special forms and macros, no functions are allowed.

i am not sure about the target audience of this sponsorship. Was it supposed to persuade people in the west or in the east?

Modern art and Jazz were not very outspoken on political issues, it was very easy to sponsor them as the artists were not likely to bite the hand that feeds them (unlike Rock musicians who were much more unruly).

Maybe it was propaganda aimed at an western audience? You still have to claim to be open minded and liberal and tell it to your own people; (see how we tolerate modern art? The commies are less liberal, never mind that we are not very liberal to minorities, blacks or those who we label to be communist sympathizers)

i think in the east Rock music (later) was doing more damage to the communist regimes (in real terms) than Jazz. Modern art and jazz had a more limited appeal, while Rock music (later) had a much wider audience.

(modern art was brait is funny that the person that helped the CIA here (post Stalin) was Khrushchev - in December 1962 he lashed out on modern art at a modern art exhibition in Moscow, following that they started a official campaign against modern art.)

The website is currently a single Point of Failure, since it is the gatekeeper for recording votes into the Blockchain. With this proof of concept I did not want to build a fully decentralized voting application that ensures that 1 person == 1 vote, I rather just wanted to display how Ethereum and the Blockchain can be utilized for voting. Once a vote is recorded into the Blockchain it cannot be altered anymore. The question of feasibility of this application is obviously very much up in the air.

But overall, there are some interesting concepts to protect such systems against sybil-attacks, so that we can ensure that 1 person == 1 vote any nothing more.
