Source is incredibly dubious. Contains the following sentence:

Dr. Enoch had previously designed a Prototype of a silo
for peasant farmers and also discovered a scientific
technique for detecting and tracking someone on an evil mission.

A Dr. Enoch Opeyemi is indeed on the schedule for ICMCS 2015, but the title of his talk was just "A Matrix That Generates the Point Spectral of the Riemann Zeta Function": http://computer.conference-site.com/program.docx I haven't been able to find the contents of that talk.

The CMI page for the problem hasn't been updated yet: http://www.claymath.org/millennium-problems/riemann-hypothes...

I haven't been able to find anything about a new proof of the Riemann Hypothesis in any of the usual places. (math.SE, etc)
> The mission was rushed, politically motivated, and a failure.

Polyus was, yes. Energia performed well.

> After the 60s the USSR space program was a mess of failures and catching up to NASA.

You mean after the end of the moon landings? When NASA was, essentially, dicking around and trying to figure out what to do with their expensive new toy, while doing a handful (quite PR effective) probe launches?

Roskosmos, meanwhile, launched six Saljut stations, Mir, and about as many planetary missions as the rest of the world combined, including the first extraplanetary rovers.

> Considering the massive bodycount of the USSR space program (Soyuz 1, Nedelin catastrophe, Soyuz 11, etc)

"Etc."? That's it. NASA has a higher body count between Apollo 1, Challenger and Columbia, Ignoring the Nedelin catastrophe, which was completely unrelated to the space program – ICBM accidents hardly count, or we could add a lot more fatalities on both sides, e.g. close to sixty alone from Titan II accidents in the USA.
The data science that explains why mass surveillance is bad
Yes. And (as someone pro-gun) the unconnected statistical arguments ("More people die from X every year..." and the hyperbolic arguments along the lines of, "You could kill someone with a knife, let's ban them!" are offensive to me.

Unfortunately, I'm already seeing similar hyperbolic arguments about cryptography - "let's outlaw math", etc.

As you implied, I'd like to see a rational discussion. Yes, cryptography can and will be used for nefarious purpose -- but it's used in much greater capacity for legitimate purposes. That's what needs to be emphasized - it's the only logical, supportable argument to make.

So let's quantify your definitions of "significant" and "terrorism". In the past 5 years, about 2% of terrorist attacks in Europe were found to be religiously motivated [0]. The majority are perpetrated by separatist organizations.

There are over 1.6 billion Muslims worldwide [1]. Size estimates for the terrorist groups are: ISIS (52k - 258k [2]), Al Qaeda (19k-27k [3]). There are others, but I believe these are the main ones that people are talking about when worrying about terrorist threats abroad. We're talking about 1 in 5,600 to 22,535.

My humble opinion is that the terrorist threat worldwide is indeed significant, but if you think that it is a problem with Islam, then you are playing right into the hands of the extremists, who want (and they have publicly published these intentions) to divide the world into two camps that hate each other. The more hatred you direct towards Muslims, the more you drive them apart from you. ISIS's stated objective is basically world war - they want you to hate Muslims, so that Muslims feel like they have nowhere to go in the Western world.

Wrong. The beheadings are the things Mohammad did, as written in their holy books, so they just do that, following their role model even without the cameras.

The idea of believing that every word of the bible is literally true is a very modern concept. The need for interpretation, for understanding of the changing meaning of words and practices, has been accepted since the early church fathers.
It's not supposed to be easy - this is the crux of faith. If it were indisputably and provably true than you would not be capable of free will. Jesus rebuked Thomas for failing to believe even when presented with him being resurrected, pointing out that most will not have anything close to that level of truth.

There are different fundamental truths that you need to accept to "be Christian", it's been discussed for centuries - probably the most accepted would be the Nicene Creed.
Unfortunately, if what you want is an out-of-the-box solution, then alternatives to Bootstrap are either likely to be as complicated as it, or require you to know how to write a bit of css.

Although there are lightweight grid solutions such as skeleton[0] which I personally really like, which make layout easy, you would still probably need to override some of the presentation styles.

It's really nice to see a man really, really in love with his wife! Mother Nature really likes that!

For how she is so good with personality radar, IIRC recently there was a research paper that confirmed that already in the crib the girls are paying attention to people and the boys, to things. So the girls are making eye contact, understanding facial expressions, smiling, and, thus, eliciting protective emotions from adults while the boys are trying to hack the latch on the crib and install Wi-Fi and an real-time, embedded Linux in the toy fire truck on the floor!

So, with some nerd men and a really feminine woman, there's no contest -- on personality radar, no way will the men catch up with the woman!

I actually had to address this in the altcoin world (back when that was a thing) because the C-CEX exchange would take money for "destroying" coins, but the method they used for destroying coins was just taking a video of them sending a wallet to the private key owned by a different wallet and then deleting the wallet. (which they could've easily kept a backup of). There were even some altcoin devs that paid me to hardfork their coin to ensure that coins sent to the address the exchange used could no longer be spent on the network.

Anyway, it's not the "good" OP_RETURN method, but to send your coins from any altcoin to a provably impossible address I made a utility and print out of addresses for sending to "an address owned by the public key hash of 0" http://earlz.net/view/2014/10/22/0340/provably-spendable-alt...

I do not really see Mark as much of an innovator. He has said himself that he did not sell facebook early on because he did not think he'd have an idea as great and had no use for the money given his lifestyle.

Innovation has come from the ground up with companies like Instagram - which facebook has purchased - but what has purchasing innovation done for facebook? Seems like people don't want to be at Mark's party so he went and bought the building the next party was in..

I see purchasing Oculus to try to 'own' VR kind of like buying AOL in '98 to try to own the internet.

I feel like this is taking a technology and trying to see what features you can provide rather than asking what features you need and then finding the technology necessary to provide them..
"the 1980s" (picking 1986 since it's the mid-decade) are about as close in time to 9/11 (2001) than 9/11 is to us. Next year that's equidistant.

Oh, definitely. As I said, I appreciate him speaking up. But in speaking up for his woman while reinforcing sexist notions and ignoring how this happens to other women, it has a "two steps forward, one step back" feel to me. I appreciate the piece, but I'm disappointed as well.

There are many reasons why I do not personally want children.

Some are political or philsophical that would take too long to explain here but I suppose one big reason is that I just flat-out do not like being around children.

There are no economic or personal incentives that would change my mind on this matter and from what I understand, the number of people thinking this way (the not wanting kids in general part, not the not liking them part) has gradually increased over the years as living standards have improved and more people are able to fulfill other goals and personal ambitions.
But that arguing would clearly be flawed. I could thing of a lot of weapons that I would not want to see in the hands of everybody I meet on the street.
I think it is partially correct to say that about certain information based "tools" (like encryption or information in newspapers) but sometimes that is not true as well, for example with certain malware
Want to know what ISIS is up to ? Just take it from their official magazine - it is right there, explicit. The strategy is called "The extinction of the gray zone" - it is about polarizing western society by eliciting islamophobia: "Muslims in the crusader countries will find themselves driven to abandon their homes for a place to live in the Khilāfah, as the crusaders increase persecution against Muslims living in Western land. [..] Eventually, the gray zone will become extinct and there will be no place for grayish calls and movements. There will only be the camp of īmān versus the camp of kufr". So, if you want to counter ISIS influence in our society, you know what to do: love each other... Turning to epidermic identity politics won't help a bit. Even ISIS remarks that our "response is often violently reactionary instead of forward-thinking" - and that is just the way they want it.

Yesterday, I made a post about how to reconstruct the NYC map visualization using the 1.1B Taxi Data using ggplot2: http://minimaxir.com/2015/11/nyc-ggplot2-howto/

Looking at the code for the visualization, the author did an independently similar approach (with the same tools), and one that turned out slightly different, which is what makes things interesting.

It's worth nothing that back in August, only the 2014 and 2015 datasets were released by the NYC TLC. I'm not entirely sure why they decided to release 2009-2012 now.

If you're looking to just playing with the data, I recommend using the BigQuery approach as noted in my article, since downloading and processing ~300GB might take awhile. However, the shape file approach used in the original article the next logical step after that, and one that is put to very good use in the article.

They just fired their rockets to compensate for the inertia.

If you want recoiless weapons in space, you could probably just buy a 1960's era Gyrojet pistol or rifle. The launched rocket powered bullets instead of conventional ammo and because the rocket ammunition was self-propelled, it was nearly recoiless.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gyrojet

Also, the weapons, especially the rifle, have this wonderful 1960's era futurist design to them. The Gyrojet weapons are probably worthy of their own posting.

> The mathematics to calculate hitting another satellite traveling in a different orbit and at a different speed sounds like an interesting challenge.

It's the exact same mathematics you already need to be able to dock spacecraft, change orbits, or get into orbit in the first place. Any organization capable of putting things in orbit would have no trouble, it's just a case of plugging some different numbers in.

> If you were trying to disable a satellite what would be the best target? Solar cells?

Relative velocities are going to be enormous without even trying, so it doesn't matter where you hit it - the energy will have to go somewhere.

No, it doesn't fix the problem and it creates several others. That's the biggest problem with all of these quick-fix new tax ideas, the proponents never think them through.

1. What jurisdiction does one country have to tax assets held in another country?

2. Why wouldn't the country where the assets are located be the one to tax them?

3. How would you address the possibility of double-taxation?

4. How would you prevent the wealthy from shifting ownership of these assets to corporations or family trusts that are incorporated in that foreign country. Assets located in a foreign country, owned by an entity in the country would be taxed in that country.

I can only speak from a German perspective but the real problem from my point of view is that in todays world everything seems as if it is going down slope.

Todays generation has less job security than the generation before.

Todays generation does not have a secured pension (like the generation before had).

It is expected of todays generation to be a life-long learner (if you are not, your economic value drops immediately and if your job gets terminated you fall back to the same support someone receives, who has never worked in their life before).

Affordable housing has decreased.

It is expected of both parents to work (tell me again why I should have children, if I rarely see them?).

Pressure on children has increased as there is less time at school and less time at Uni to learn the same things (do I really want to do this to my possible future children?).

Especially for women having a child still is very bad for your career. Also if you have a fixed-term contract (which there is an increasing number of, your maternity employment protection is severely limited).

Of course this is just an anecdote, but at least in my circle of friends, those with secured government jobs are the ones having the most children. I would love to see some large-scale data on this subject.

> Islamist terrorists aren't killing people ostensibly engaged in criminal acts.

True disturbingly often for police officers. About half the people shot and killed by police in the US (about 500 people per year) have mental illness. Compare that rate with the rest of the western world (less than 100 people since 2000) where people with mental illness tend not to be murdered by police. Even if we remove all the mentally ill people with guns from those numbers (to make the weapon use comparable across countries) we see very many more people killed in the US than any other western nation.

And if you want numbers for innocent people shot by officers with poor aim, well, they don't keep numbers so you can't get accurate stats. Here are a few: https://popehat.com/2013/12/05/nypd-baby-you-know-we-love-yo...

> So sure, Christian terrorists' kill numbers might be comparable or even greater than Islamic terrorists domestically (if you unfairly exclude 9/11)

I'm not excluding 9/11. Christian and right wing extremists have killed more than 3,000 people in the US in the 19th and 20th century. At least 3,500 black people were lynched, for example. We've seen in this thread people claiming that Islam has centuries of violence, so let's go back 200 years and see who's being killed and who's doing the killing. Black folks are being killed, and Good White Christians were doing the killing.

> They're not looking to take down all of Western society.

Sure they are. "NEW WORLD ORDER" and "THE JEWS DID IT" and "FREEMEN ON THE LAND" are all about how corrupt the current system is. Read the Unabomber manifesto. That's all about overthrowing the system.

> They aren't amassing armies in other countries to assert 6th century law on all the territories that they conquer.

There's no point having this discussion if you're just going to shift the goal posts to keep redefining what terrorism is or what extremism is or what atrocities do or don't count.
The title says that the professor claims to have solved the problem. I'll believe him when clay agrees.
Perhaps because: 1. The shabby way the business was taken from the Winklevosses 2. The shabby way small businesses have been treated: building up fan pages (and bringing people to FB) and then having their access to their own fans throttled 3. The shabby way video creators are being screwed out of their earnings by freebooters, while FB gets billions of views and claims to be "working on it". 4. The shabby way FB takes control of user's news feeds to give them what FB want them to see i.e. what will sell, rather than what the user wants. These seem to point to a general culture of greed that even Google does not have.

Do you really think Zuckerberg is super smart? I've alway pegged him as a passive, aggressive regular guy. A guy who stole an idea for a website. An idea, I don't think he would have every stumbled upon--then, or now. We will never know? If not for capitalizing on someone else's idea, at the right time, I feel he would just be an average, probally single, programmer--that is if he finished school.

I wil give him this, he is business ruthless, or has the foresight to know he doesn't know everything? He hires the right people.

When I heard about his desire to make Internet.org a non-profit, I immediately thought it's not going to be in incorporated in California, where you can easily lose control of even a well meaning, selfless nonprofit, if your board members turn on you. I thought I got this guy Wrong. I then though he will go to Deleware--where you can run a nonprofit like a private business. That's the mark I was expecting. I now find out that's Internet.org is not a non-profit? Or, I got it wrong?

Either way internet.org seems like Mark got his wish, and poor people have a dumbed down/spoon fed version of the Internet. An Internet where mark can have complete control? Some of you call that brilliant? I don't. Poor people should have the same advantages we all had in terms of Internet access?

Anyway, he never struck me as a thinker, just driven? I think that rediculious movie about Zuckerburg/Facebook did a lot to further his super smart persona?
Would a super smart guy create a social networking site? I actually think his averageness; has worked to his benefit. He thought FB would be cool. It might even get him laid?

Why--because an average guy know's what what an average guy likes?

Personally, I think, if Zukerburg is so intelligent, he will do some damage control on his seemingly selfish/controlling business plans, and dictatorship rules? I know there are certain parts of the country where people seem to be dropping out of FB? I kind of see that trend going on in the Bay Area? Around here, a big cheesy profile pic, and a 1000 friends is not cool anymore. It's just pathetic? Kinda like disco?
