Edit: I think the end of your comment was edited in. Regarding waiting, often it's because nobody considered it problematic at the time. Many rulings striking down laws are overturning previous rulings upholding those laws, and are rarely unanimous.

Find me a law that was overturned unanimously, would be struck down by any court looking at it, yet was both law and enforced for decades because nobody looked at it.

They'd still be doing it at any loss figure above operational costs to maintain cash flow. The cost to drill the well is already sunk. So it makes sense to operate the well at heavy loss. Some money is better than no money.

> Either way I don't think your point #2 works against anything I've mentioned.

My point was the economic reasons were why horizontal drilling became feasible. It could have been done in the eighties if oil prices were high enough back then.
Even if you have children, you won't see them that much after their first 18 years, for the same reasons the author doesn't see his parents much.

And you certainly wont be seeing your grand-children, nephews and nieces as much as you saw your parents and siblings in the first 20 years of your life.

Except if you live in the same small town, nearby houses, etc. Heck, between school, game consoles, smartphones and whatever will be out by then, good luck seeing much of your 12 year olds and older too...

I think the parent commenter's complaint is about this journalistic article (from Quanta), which isn't by any of these mathematicians, just about them.

Although I sympathize with this concern, it looks like two of these mathematicians write their own names (solely) in Romanization without tone markings in their own academic publications, for example

http://arxiv.org/abs/1512.02683

linked from the article.

So it's not necessarily something that other people are unilaterally doing to them. (Although Prof. Yun has put his Chinese name at the top of his homepage, but seemingly not in any of his papers.) Maybe other people are pressuring academics with non-Latin names indirectly not to use their names in native scripts in their publications because of editorial policies in journals that would discourage or forbid it, or, as you suggested, because of journals' software tools that would have compatibility problems.
I wrote an accompanying blog post--just to be extra clear, this is a proof-of-concept, not a business:

I don't think this is fault of the journalist, Chinese people in the US use their own transliterated names. The journalist is most certainly just using the name that was given by the Chinese themselves.

Indian Gujarati here, so I get a pass for what I'm about to write.

If this article was about whites or about Christians, it would not have a laudatory tone. Instead, the author would be writing about how the "old boys network" keeps others out of lucrative businesses, about how there's no diversity in the top rungs of these companies, and about how "handshakes" are circumventing government laws and taxation. But that is exactly what the Gujarati network is all about. Yes, it is a hardworking group, but also very in-group oriented, and yes, racist.
The article is plain math. Their experience is irrelevant.

Unless you happen to live in a nearby house with your parents/siblings, or are able to commute every week to where they live, you're in the category the author describes, and you have seen the most you'll ever seen them by your thirties.

There no workarounds around this. Either you live nearby and you have the opportunity to see them often, or you have the most days spend with them behind you.
This is my observation as well. Smart people, e.g. people with PhDs or working on them, just by and large do not understand key pairs. They have terrible trouble with ssh keys, and I am sure would have as much or more trouble with client certificates.

It has to be something that is totally automated, and can't rely on copying or uploading or in any way touching public keys as a manual step.
The loophole relied on is that you aren't seizing "their"
property, you're seizing property of unknown ownership. The onus is on the purported owner to prove it belongs to them so they can have Constitutional rights in it.

See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/In_rem_jurisdiction, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Civil_forfeiture_in_the_United... and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asset_forfeiture#United_States

Note that the government can admit the person used to own it. Under https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/981, property used in certain crimes belongs to the government, and so the government takes it. It's then the person's job to prove it was not involved in a crime. Courts have ruled this doesn't violate anyone's rights.

My alternative to the post-it system: high-fives

I teach a course introducing students to making plain webpages in HTML/CSS/JS. We haven't tried the group aspect yet, instead we have people pair program - one laptop between every two students, with them switching 'drivers' every 10 minutes or so, driver types while the other person narrates what's to be done and points out typos etc.

When a pair reaches the goal for a particular task, I ask to high-five loudly. Not only does this help them get more comfortable with each other (they're complete strangers and only come together for this single day course), but it livens up the room a bit while giving me feedback and without being too threatening to those who are still working.

You quoted economist and mentioned Surat as a dump. It might help if you read an article Economist published about Surat, in 2012 http://www.economist.com/node/21563412 (last 4 paragraphs )

Excerpt:
What it takes
A far more encouraging example can be found farther up the coast. Surat, a city in Gujarat of 4.5m people, is a flourishing trading hub that not long ago was a wretched dump like Gorakhpur. In 1994, after a reported (but never confirmed) outbreak of pneumonic plague, it became famous for squalor, gridlock, slums and rotten management. Since then it has been transformed. Effective managers cleaned up. Rubbish was collected and transport improved, streets were swept and public services delivered. Miraculously, the improvements were sustained. Some 96% of residents pay their municipal taxes on time. Manoj Kumar Das, who now runs the city, says that over the past decade the growth in Surat’s population averaged 5% a year, among the fastest of any city in the world. According to his planners, by 2031 it could have 9.3m people, overtaking London.

It just doesn't add up. If their reserves are actually worth that much to a private equity investor, why are they supposed to be so worthless to BP (and Shell and Exxon ...) that it should liquidate itself?

These assets are either profitable or not. If they are profitable, why sell them? If they are not profitable, why buy them? It can't be both. Not for an entire industry that is.
Getting a 'FreeRide' vehicle would definitely be on the todo list and that would all come down to funding. I do hope to receive funding from bars/restaurants as well, however I don't want to require it. It is a great idea and something I will be considering as I determine the best location for the trial run!

I hopefully addressed the overnight car issue with my recent update. I have heard some places around here (Ocean City, MD) use the scooter idea, but it might be a little troublesome in rural areas where the travel distance is greater.

I can't wait for automated cars to be on the roads. Less accidents, less traffic, no parking issues, etc. The future is going to be great!

Don't get your hopes up - it seems to remain possible the abbreviation preceded this document and was misattributed by Richie.
Minecraft was memory-bound and bandwidth-bound such that it only really became possible in the late 2000's. A typical PC in 2000 would have, if generous, 128 or 256 megabytes of RAM. A typical connection, if any, would be dial up, with some ADSL and ISDN folks. Minecraft worlds, on the other hand, easily run into the gigabytes. Not to mention that all of its word of mouth came from popular Youtube videos.

You can definitely find examples of earlier voxel renderers that are also more efficient than Minecraft(e.g. Ken Silverman's VOXLAP), but memory limits and networking gaps would remain real and intractable, limiting its potential popularity.
I think the story was that these etudes were written to be impossible to play hence people got a kick out of seeing someone give it a go.

> I pointed out that no muslim terrorists have killed people while attempting to kill drone operators (or other specifically targeted military personnel).

I don't see how this is relevant. We already accept that terrorism is not justifiable, we're discussing whether drone strikes are terrorism.

> And why jump through verbal hoops with 'people identifying as Muslims'.

Because being Muslim is not a terrorist's defining characteristic. One defining characteristic would be a disregard for human life.
They aren't all that rare at all. But they also aren't typically as ridiculous as the print-to-scan patent trolling scheme.

Usually they go after medium sized fish and ask for ~100-200k. It's cheaper than a suit or an post grant review.

But even the medium fish are hundreds of millions / billion dollar companies.

The patent trolling going after the little guy is mostly exaggeration. Most trolls aim for deep pockets.

Plus you can lowball the shit out of trolls who send letters. Since you know they aren't serious. If they were, they'd never risk a declaratory judgement suit in a defendant favorable district. They'd just hit you in E.D. Tex or DE.

Reading this manual describe concepts without the use of computer jargon as brand new concepts makes the language sound really old-fashioned, like reading Jonathon Swift or Thomas Paine. Part of that, I'm sure, is that this document is now 45 years old. It kind of makes me want to go back and read the instruction manual that would have come with the first TVs and such.

If anyone wants to find Hercules X-1, it's at these coordinates: RA 16 57 49.83, dec +35 20 32.6. It's also magnitude 13, not visible to the naked eye (about 0.00064% as bright as Vega, which it is fairly close to.)

Also, one reason why the scientist mentioned in the article didn't look at his star is because he couldn't know where it is. We can guess that the graduate student in question was Ethan J Schreier, who was in the MIT area until 1973, and the position of X-1 wasn't known until 1973, three years after the launch of the satellite. On the other hand, if I was that scientist, I would still have looked in general at the Hercules constellation, out of pure curiosity.

(The scientist in question certainly isn't Gursky, as he was a graduate student decades prior, but certainly also could've been Harvey Tananbaum. I had no information on been R. Levinson, Edwin M. Kellogg, and Giacconi [0] was a student at the University of Milan in the 40s.)

"You called me ignorant directly and you started it"

I didn't call you ignorant, so much as your argument that involved currency and north korea. But I realize it's a fine line and should have used a different word. Not that you are taking the high road here either.

"The topic was a sarcastic example about piracy and theft in terms of supply, demand and value. It was not at all about copyright law."

How is piracy and "theft" not about copyright law? If you're not breaking copyright law it's not piracy.

"Possibly based on discourse but not based on reality and therefore off topic"

I obviously don't think so. My kind of arguments are the ones being discussed at conferences, in books, documentaries and papers.

"What dream world do you live in where you think this is all that happens with piracy? Many people also copy things that they would have bought in the first place."

There's a reason I used the word "theoretically". Still a 14 year old is seldom going to buy a $4000 program and companies sometimes recognizes these scenarios. Microsoft did in China for instance.

"Who cares? Increasing supply is a part of reality, and that is what I'm talking about."

I don't see how increasing supply in general is relevant. If I seed some flowers I'm increasing the supply of flowers, but few people would see that as a negative thing. If there were no copyright, like in (to some extent) fashion or cooking, copying would be part of reality and there would be little point to compare it to copying currency.
Of course. Why wouldn't you? Opposing a bill of congress has got to be the most clear cut free speech case there is.
If you could solve the problem of needing to directly interact with the customer to collect payment, I'd think food delivery would love the idea of drones. The biggest cost of a pizza delivery shop is paying the drivers. They normally get an hourly wage, plus mileage if they are using their own cars.

They'd need to solve payment collection; a lot of people still pay cash for things like food delivery.
That's a good point, and a lot harder to estimate since there are probably a wide variety of routes that a package might take.

Indian Gujarati here. OP is correct. Gujaratis are good at making money in a host society. But the original towns etc. in Gujarat are shite-holes, and they've not cross-pollinated all the progress of their host societies into their source society. Also, as far as helping non-Gujaratis is concerned, fuhgeddedaboutit. To me, the implication is that they essentially lack societal vision, altruism and out-group empathy. (I'm considered an outcaste, a "wannabe sell-out" because I question why no Gujarati billionaires do more for Gujarat -- or India or Africa -- than Bill Gates.)

Fair points, but I didn't say it was because of their cash dealings. I was suggesting it more because of how the cartels operate. Also, claims that local gangs would be able to compete against cartel-aligned gangs (which is already making a huge assumption that they aren't one and the same) strongly disagrees with spikes in violence in Chicago, arguably (obviously) the largest hub for Sinaloa volumes, as well as Baltimore.

My suggestion was merely that I would be balls paranoid about security if I was tied to a dispensary in the US, no matter how legal, not because of cash, but because once one person uses that strategy (violence) they all will, such as how cocaine dealing became significantly more violent permanently once there was a wave of violence in the late 70's / early 80's.

That is the search advertising margin eroding. Google has been compensating for that in a number of ways, from putting more ads on their sites (more "inventory") to re-writing rules ("no mobile for third parties") to changing splits with non-Google sites. The underlying cancer though is that Advertisers are more and more likely to see Microsoft Bing, Facebook, and Yahoo! ads as "equivalent" to Google's ads. And they split their spend, and they have been less and less impressed with the "results" of their advertising, so they pay less. All symptoms of a maturing market and one that has been going on for years. And as it continues it puts more and more pressure on Google to make up its margins in other ways. My guess is that 2016 is the first year they are going to have to cut staff across the board to keep their margins up.
Agreed, but I don't think we can do that without having transactional boundaries. When a transaction fails, it doesn't necessarily mean that a human has to intervene. It just means that we have a reduced set of possible states that are known to be consistent. I don't see how we could ever hope to define correct self healing algorithms without reducing the number of possible states a system can be in.
Haha touche
It depends on the country where you come from. If you are from the older countries in European Union/EFTA then, once you get a job, your permit is not tied to your job and you have enough time to look for another job if you want to switch. You can even get unemployment benefits after completing 1 year (but I would advise not to if you want a C permit). Things are much harder if you come from a non european country. Then I think for the first couple of years your residence permit is tied to your employer. Once you are past the first years though, the conditions improve a lot but you are still in disadvantage compared to Europeans.

If you want more information, I would suggest to look up the conditions for L, B, and C permits depending on your country of origin.

Once you have a C permit, you are pretty much settled in and almost like a Swiss person (apart from voting). On B permit, you have less freedom, but I have not faced any practical issues so far (but I am young, without family, and European).
Organ delivery might be a good place to test initial drone delivery. It's very high value with very few, well-defined pick-up and delivery points.
Operational costs are in the eye of the beholder. We evaluated DynamoDB for a new use case but we're going with Cassandra because the storage costs alone more than made up for ops overhead. At least IMO, Cassandra's support for multicolumn range queries (via clustering columns) and the cheaper storage you can use obviate local secondary indices. (Cassandra has secondary indices as well but it seems like most folks prefer further denormalization--at least, that's what we're doing.)
Interestingly, that's already kind of available in some countries. I live in Austria, where we have a system called Bürgerkarte which utilizes PKI. One of the supported options are ATM cards (others being public health insurance cards, mobile phones or "real" smart cards). Unfortunately, it's not very widely used and quite complicated to set up. This would definitely need to be an international effort to become viable.
