This is definitely the case. There's a term called "Regulatory Capture" that describes this phenomena. I think it's less active scheming to stomp down startups and more a natural outgrowth of a world where the larger companies find it easier to comply with marginal increases in regulatory scrutiny than to fight the PR/lobbying war to oppose them.
We had something similar at a company I worked at. The NODers figured out that they could work jigsaw puzzles all day and no one would bother them.

Ask some of your fathers neighbors what phones they use and how their reception is.
Theoretically they're supposed to be (in practice it's hard to tell given how slow the rest of the language is and so I wouldn't be surprised if there were undiscovered implementation issues, but they should be). The case where you do trap an overflow and redo the calculation with bignums is of course a bit slower than doing it with bignums in the first place so it's not a completely free lunch (though AIUI the bignum calculation takes substantially longer than the trapped attempt at doing it with fixnums so it doesn't really matter).

There was a link posted here not long ago that pointed out the proliferation of arbitration clauses in contracts and customer agreements. No doubt your agreement with Comcast has such a clause.

> You don't have to use Comcast.

Many people do. I can use comcast or go to satellite. DSL is not even an option as I'm too far away. Satellite is not a high speed option in my opinion.
Really? The last place I lived had the option of Comcast or maybe Verizon DSL at 1.5Mbps. Verizon didn't know if they could provide service or not, thus the "maybe." And that was it. This was true when I moved out three years ago, and it's still true for the people living there today.

So, "You don't have to use Comcast"? Actually, some people do unless they're willing to give up broadband altogether.
One common cargo from Europe to China is waste cardboard. Think how cheap shipping would have to be for that to be worth shipping. Many of these will be the boxes from goods shipped to Europe from China, and will be recycled into more boxes for more goods to send back to Europe. It's like the circle of life, but with cardboard.
> unjust illegitimate laws created to serve a monopoly

It’s not unjust illegitimate laws, it’s a largely valid contract you entered into and by which you are very naturally bound. There’s nothing morally wrong about “don’t use this access we give you to download everything”.

If your laws are, for whatever reason, unjust and illegitimate, then fix that instead of fighting against those laws by downloading papers from Elseviere o.O

> Why comply with a framework designed not for your benefit or societies benefit but for the purpose of maintaining a monopoly on others peoples labor, socializing cost and individualizing profit.

I don’t get what you’re trying to say. Are you saying the profit from scientific work lies solely or even largely in bulk access to the papers produced by that work?!

> Laws are not created for the people and by the people, they are made by corrupted individuals for those with the most wealth and power

If that is the case, then this is squarely the fault of “the people” to allow that to happen.

> complying with them is no better than complying with any other sort of violent oppression

This is not about complying with laws but complying with a not morally outrageously wrong contract between two private entities.

You are trolling, right?
This sounds like a great idea but your last line is a death sentence to it. I think it would take the apocalypse you are dismissing before the solution you are recommending could be implemented.

The context if this discussion was tunnelling zmodem over SSH, so I think it's a fair assumption that SSH is installed :)

But you're right regarding embedded *nix in broader contexts.
HAL/S: High-order Assembly Language/Shuttle
This is something I've had the occasion to discuss before, and it's a good idea not because "it's ssh" or "it's decentralized" (those are just good benefits), but because it moves the authentication to an actual authentication protocol and, were it to catch on, would have to be done from the browser itself.

Does this ring a bell? That's right, it's BrowserID ladies & gents. I'll never let this go, Persona was a great thing for the web and its death is mourned.

I think I've seen ssh auth implemented before but this is the smoothest POC yet. Your next step: Make a firefox extension that integrates this, as a proof of concept for in-browser authentication.

I've read this in the past, yes. The initial study you posted suffers from the same complaint. Which is not shocking given that the JAMA results are a meta-analysis (which include your study).
The overall gist of it was that police are one of the top threats to civilians in the U.S. whether innocent or guilty. I didn't even bring up eminent domain although someone suggested I should. All these discussions around surveillance are tied to how increases in their power protect us. Yet, that can't be true if they consistently use their power to abuse, rob, or murder us without cause. And what they get away with now suggests we should be extra skeptical of adding security or immunity.
The customer agreement may but the website owner never agreed to this.
As someone personally dealing with impostor-ish thoughts, I can certainly attest that I feel much better when being told by a manager/client something like "I'm not at all sure you can address this problem for me efficiently. Can you?", rather than "I have full faith in your skills, go forth and bring me results".

But if it's unsigned this will never be true either...

Conceptually, it works through promotion. -1 is cast to unsigned/size_t before the test, which then succeeds. At the assembly level, a 32-bit -1 is 0xFFFFFFFF, which is also the result of the underflow of i, so it works at that level, too.

At any rate, it worked in the compiler I tried it with.

Same here. They are very aware that we have no other choices. They will continue provide the least amount of service for the greatest cost until this changes.
Well, I'd assume it's faster than using a a bike and cheaper than using a car or his own moped. I wonder if he's not saying that he's hacking the system by signing out a moped when he's going from restaurant -> customer or customer -> restaurant and then signing it in again when he's waiting for a pickup or making a delivery.
I think this is not true for several reasons. One (only in multi-party systems) is the rise of new political parties (for example here in Germany) that are very "right-winged" and strongly oppose the current government. I think it can not possibly be in the governments interest to loose power to these groups.

So...basically you want SSL client certificates but with a slightly less sucky UI?

I mean, https already supports this, it's just that setting up servers to deal with client certs sucks and the UI for users is also pretty bad. But the infrastructure is already there without poorly reinventing the wheel over SSH.
Paper mail costs maybe 50 cents for a regular letter. If "may not be read" is a concern, send it certified. That costs all of $4. Too expensive? This is a company that charges $10/month to rent a $50 cable modem. They get none of my sympathy when it comes to cost. If negative sympathy were physically possible, I'd give them that.

This problem you describe is solved. Businesses all over the place manage to figure out how to communicate with their customers, but you want me to believe that Comcast is in some impossible situation where their only choice is to corrupt the data they're transmitting?

If you need to get in touch with your customers, then you can:

1. E-mail.

2. Call.

3. Send a letter.

4. Send a certified letter.

And if none of that works, disconnect the service since there's obviously nobody living there anymore. If the $4 for a certified letter breaks the bank, then add a clause to your service contract that says the customer has to pay it back if it ever gets to that point.

Not every problem needs to be solved with computers over the internet.

Whoever is downvoting tumble commments is WRONG. Go read the bitcoin forums and note the people who have stolen large amounts of bitcoins after tumbling they are gone and have never been traced.

Tumbling is highly effective if done properly. You need many inputs other than just your own. Then you take the outputs and you don't combine them. You can spend them via psuedo transactions with scripts, use them to store coins, tumble them some more, sell them for cash. Since all inputs are combined there is no real way to no which outputs are from who inputted them if you're smart, disciplined, and it's done properly.

Even if it was, the simple fact of using a tumbler is illegal, as you are aiding to launder money.

Primates are a very valuable resource for medical research. Lots of research programes would highly benefit from higher primates. But researches have been driven to be even afraid to ask for access to such a resource if they want grants accepted anywhere in the world! Gould luck asking for any higher primate for any neuroscience research if you want it approved!

By artificially making them prohibitively expensive (by, for examples, demanding higher quality of animal care and all sorts of authorizations) and by adding tons of ethical and regulatory concerns, nobody even asks for them because the cost/risk ratio for any project makes it not worth it.

It's "probably" X times cheaper to go to a third world country and cladestinely test any crucial biotech stuff directly on humans as they are cheap and in some places "unwanted" anyhow. Governments/army probably have access to prisons for their needs also.

I can imagine when cool and useful stuff like implantable high-res-and-bandwidth brain-computer-interfaces come to market with killer side-effects because of improper prior testing. Oh wait... they'll probably come 50 years later anyhow because they're too risky/expensive to develop and test.

This kinds of stupid policy moves could have even nastier species-level consequences: imagine having a superhuman-AI pop up before we have human-mind-uploading capabilities and wipe out the whole goddamn human race before we get to upload even one human-intelligence to the cloud :| ...simply because the mind uploading stuff and its precursor technologies would've had to be developed through iterative testing on chimpanzees because it was illegal or too expensive (or the army/gov was not interested in it strongly enough to have the experiments done directly on humans).

Sad...

In short, the problem is that you can't do:

readable code -> [preprocessor transform] -> transformed code -> [apply transformation tool] -> [reverse preprocessor transform] -> readable code

Because both the preprocessor (and potentially arbitrary transformation tool?) are not bijective.

Couldn't you add detection for when the reverse transformation isn't bijective, and then report an error in those cases.

Just because there are examples of abuse of header files and macros in C++, it doesn't mean all of it is like that -- especially modern C++. So these tools could still work for a lot of cases.

Check out the book "Money: The Unauthorized Biography". It does an excellent job making an argument that a sovereign that loses control of the primary currency loses control of political primacy. This isn't just about terrorism or money laundering. It's very much about political power.

The one thing I'll say about Square is that this is the first tech IPO in the last 5 years where the investment banks are literally begging hedge funds to take stock.

In an IPO process as a hedge fund you find out just where you stand with the banks by how many shares you get issues at the IPO.

In squares case there I haven't heard of any one getting cut back on their allocations.

I"m not sure if that's a good or bad sign, but its out of the ordinary.

One interesting note that bloomberg just popped up:

> 11/19 10:01 Market makers (Barclays) still indicating $11. That's an unofficial indication at this point, and above the $9 IPO price.

So I guess it could pop

Well, Lebesgue integration cannot handle delta functions either since they are not even functions but distributions.

(Incidentally, there is such a thing as Lebesgue-Stieltjes integral, the kind of issues Riemann-Stieltjes solve are orthogonal to the issues that motivate Lebesgue integration.)

As for the foundations of probability theory I am skeptical. I agree the theorems are nicer if you base probability theory on the Lebesgue integral, but I very much doubt if there is a realistic physical question that could not be answered by probability theory based on the Riemann integral.

And for what it is worth, a lot of modern physics (i.e., all of quantum field theory and modern statistical physics) is based on a type of integral (the path integral) that does not yet have rigorous mathematical foundations.
They're looking for data scientists and engineers to monetise their archives but also losing market to cheaper and more open publishing networks. Good riddance, would say.

> Being able to build your unikernel (micro)services using legacy things and then swapping out certain services for clean-slate versions seems like a much more palatable approach. This is why unikernels fit so well with the microservices approach — you only have to re-write things one piece at a time if you choose to.

That's kind of my point, in that worldview rump kernels are not really the future they're a transitional phase bridging the present and the future.

I don't think University shifts you into "engineer" mode at all, you learn that when you go and do it for real in "industry". And not by doing indie projects or realistically at small start-ups. See patio11's comments re what he learned in Japan.

University is about enquiry and learning to think critically. It doesn't matter if you never use the specific constructs they cover but you do come out with a much more flexible mindset.

The other thing is that the OP might actually become a really talented academic and have the potential to do great things in the field.
Not pertinent to this exact story but there's a cross-publisher API for Text and Data Mining via Crossref for those of you who are interested. It defines http links to full text and license info. Elsevier participates in this and their API intersects with the Crossref TDM API.

You can not trace it backwards, that's not how tumbling works. If I take a 1000 inputs and combine them. Then I split it into 100,000 outputs you can not trace that.

You could trace it if the person getting the outputs was dumb enough to recombine them or spend them in all the same way. I suspect most people who tumble store the coins in those addresses and only spend small amounts later.

Tumbling has been used by people being tracked and has been effective at them not being caught. Read the bitcoin forums.
My university uses client certs for some services. It's a pain with tons of odd error cases. With a technical user base, this might actually have better worst-case experiences (but worse average-case, when client-side certs work and you always use one machine they are smooth).

It would be awesome if YubiKeys or other SmartCard-like devices were more widespread and better supported in browsers, because it would make client-cert workflows way easier. It's really mostly an UX issue.
I'm not saying you can ignore legacy applications but "the future" implies it's the goal. If rump is only for legacy application until they're reworked or replaced it's not the future, it's a transitional tool, and the future doesn't contain rump.
