I got one of these sorts of things one time. It told me to go to a post office nearby to pick up a package. When I went there they didn't have my package and the following exchange occurred:

"Why did you come to this post office?"

"Because your form says to come to this post office. See right here on the slip..."

"This isn't your post office you need to go to (post office a few miles away)"

"OK, so why did you guys tell me to come here?"

"Sir if you want your package you have to go to the other post office."

"Whatever, thanks"

It's constant screw ups and interactions like this that generally cause me to avoid the USPS whenever possible.

BetterExplained: Math Lessons That Explain Concepts
>People seem to forget that it is NOT in BitFury's best interest to perform a 51% attack because, bitcoin's value will plummet if they do that.

If BitFury can turn $200 million into $400 million now rather than over a couple of years, why on earth would they care about the side-effect of killing off bitcoin?

For the avoidance of doubt, I think that BitFury's best interest is BitFury; as long as they make a decent chunk of money, the end result for bitcoin is - and should be - immaterial to them.
>the opposite straw man idea of extremely high time preferences that favor immediate consumption is a convincing line of argument (indeed, the latter cannot be true for it would make capital investment an impossibility).

Under the neoclassical synthesis capital investment is done purely by investors who have a positive time preference but are being paid enough to offset their desire to spend absolutely all of their money right this second.

It's kind of dumb.

Totally agree. I found it just as confusing as the original yet I can see that it’s going to be even harder for someone to quickly fill out when they don’t have a proper desk/writing surface to fill this out on.
There's plenty of aviation navigation methods aside from GPS, some of which will fit on a small processor. We've been doing optical/radar terrain map following for decades in cruise missiles for example. There's also inertial, celestial, VOR/NDB/TACAN, ADF and others. A smart navigator will use multiple methods; if one of its methods begins to disagree from the others, it can be downweighted.

Relative pitch is definitely learnable as an adult. So-called perfect pitch is the ability that has been thought to be something you're born with, or not, but more recent research indicates that kids can have it "turned on", or at least, kids can develop relative pitch that is good enough to be indistinguishable from perfect pitch, for all intents and purposes (the listener just has to refresh their pitch memory with a reference pitch now and then...maybe once a day).

2) The technology to land rockets vertically has existed for a long time, going back to the lunar lander at least.

Landing the Lunar Lander on the moon is completely different to landing a tall, thin high-centre of gravity rocket full of explosive fuel, using AI because there's no crew onboard.

Or did you mean something else?

I'm pretty sure the first vertical landing of a rocket was only achieved in the last few years.

My community (horse racing) is also very active on Twitter. However, I find it highly beneficial to stay abreast of the latest news, and have a chuckle from time to time.

Yesterday a certain horse was confirmed for a certain race (Smad Place in the King George chase at Kempton on December 26th). I picked up the information on Twitter and was able to place a bet immediately at 14/1. The price on Smad Place in this race is now 10/1, 9/1 in places. It was quickly adjusted down by most bookmakers within 10 minutes of the announcement.

Twitter really is a valuable medium to me. I want to hear about things 5 seconds after they've been announced!

To be honest, for a couple KB's worth of difference, probably not. But I'd assume it'd be good practice to optimize the best you can regardless.
There are plenty of legitimate concerns about privacy and security with any sensor installed in the home. However, you could at least read the basic information on their site about how they handle this before posting. For example, their site clearly states:

"Video is encrypted before it leaves your home with decryption keys held only on your mobile devices. Our cloud never sees your keys guaranteeing that data can never be leaked." -- https://cocoon.life/details/

It's fair to question how a customer could be confident that this is, and will always remain, the case. It's fair to ask what happens if the device is compromised, and how that might happen, and how that might be prevented. But it looks as though your characterisation of "filling your home with sensors broadcasting their inputs to a 3rd party" was just completely made up.

High school, or middle school is not materially different than the rest of the world.

The idea of "The adult version of high school" for situations that involve bullies, ingroup/outgroup and pettiness etc... is silly because it assumes that those things are only relegated to children.

Case in point: The G20 in Australia[1]. All the cool kids sit with Obama, Putin ate lunch alone and was on the outside of the class photo. If the highest level of political diplomacy is also "the adult version of high school"...well then I guess the whole thing is just high school.

Maybe the biggest advantage is the plugin system and how those can be hooked to the execution. Developer focuses on writing a LEGO brick that can be used as a part of execution. Also different plugins do not need to care about existence of other plugins, but on the other hand those plugins can be chained by firing and listening to events.
But those skills are expensive because the same skill level person in the US has a different pay than the person in China.

I don't think that's true, or at least, not true for the vast majority of workers.

A typical US manufacturing worker is an order of magnitude more productive (a good, if imperfect, proxy for skill) than a Chinese one, and if anything is underpaid for the value they provide. China just has massively more labor available.

Any typo that aborts program execution will cost you mail. Any bug that manifests someday in the future will cost you mail. [...] For over a decade, I was so fixated on doing the mail processing during delivery that I was blind to the much simpler approach that was staring me right in the face.

So, why not even go a step further and treat maildir as append-only storage? Do the deletions, mark-as-read, and attachment inspection using notmuch. This is one of the really cool things about notmuch: it gives you a mutable view of 'immutable' mail storage.

Congress passed a law in 2006 stating that the USPS must pre-fund benefits. It didn't allocate any money for it, though.

It's the equivalent of your credit card company saying "we think we'll end up lending you $1m over the lifetime of the card, so can you pay us back all of that up front?"
It's about trust. No matter what software you are running you always trust somebody. Intel, gcc, maintainers etc. You can't verify everything yourself. But one screw up can ruin somebody's reputation and then you can decide to trust somebody else. Well, with a client. Not with the protocol though.

Most people simply can't have deep understanding of Bitcoin internals. It would be terrible if Bitcoin would be driven by democracy in the way that protocol becomes what most people want (yeah, I'm not hoping for karma with this one). Because then it would become the same as politics. It would drop down to marketing and manipulating memes by some small minority optimizing for its profit.

The protocol is decided by miners who optimize for their profit and Bitcoin success is in their best interest because their earnings depend on it.
Why not, this is just a general purpose framework for driving virtual machine execution? Hopefully someone will find this useful and write plugins and share those for the community as well.

You're making pretty wild assumptions and following that up with "so as far as I can see there is no way of getting them to integrate".

I did give suggestions to improve integration. My edit#2 was directed to your previous (now-deleted) post. But above all you make it sound like nobody's integrating, this is not the case. A large majority of muslims are integrating fine despite how hard the xenophobia and islamophobia is making it.

What about our own citizens that aren't integrating? The poor, the unemployed, the criminals, the homeless, the mentally ill... do we kick em out too because they failed to integrate? Is it always "100% or else"?

That doesn't sound true - the GPS satellites don't do frequency hopping, you get 1575.42MHz, 1227.60MHz and that's it. All the linked paper says is that you can use the precise time from a GPS receiver to start up a different radio system that needs precise timing.

But if that was a predictable consequence, they can't turn $200million into $400million now, because other would anticipate the future state of things and the price would plummet before a couple years. Not that I think that is at all what is going to happen.
Cultural relativism is a refinement of cultural absolutism, in order better to deal with the empirically undeniable discrepancies in moral judgements between different individuals and groups. Basically:

Cultural absolutism: us good, them evil.

Cultural relativism: under these social circumstances, those moral preferences are likely to emerge.

Clearly, the former is easier to handle than the latter, which has advantages in some situations.
The "either/or" view of AI vs humans limits thinking about its application. As the author suggests, the answer is both: AI as an extension and complement is powerful, but on its own it's pattern recognition without judgement or intuition.

It's not that small, especially if it's in constant 1987 dollars (unsure of the origin of Bennett's statistic).

That $1.3M in 2015 dollars, and over 47 years of (potential) employment from 18-65, it's $27,000/year.

Of course, past performance is no indication of future results. And I suspect that this is the kind of statistic where "average" is misleading: Most exceptionally high earners have college degrees.

* It seems like there was already a backdoor in place with the Dual EC in place. That Jupiner could use.

* Or maybe they had to use Dual EC because of government pressure but they changed the EC keypair to fuck with the NSA. NSA is not happy and changed it back.

* Or ...

In any case, what is clear is that a backdoored PRNG (Dual EC) was implemented behind a "fake" PRNG.

Someone knew that, and thus changed the EC keypair of the backdoored PRNG.

This is very shady.

As others have said, don't expect too much. I did have success selling domains on NamePros, but that was almost a decade ago and truthfully I'm not sure if they're as active anymore. I'm sure you can find other domain communities as well.

Quick tip: Don't just post the domain name. Explain why you bought that domain in the first place -- it tends to get more inquiries in my experience. For example, let's say I wanted to sell the domain "bagfullofshit.com" -- Disregarding the novelty aspect, you could explain that you were planning on starting a service that sends pranks to your friends and that you wouldn't be actually sending bags of shit. It gets them to think.

I would not bet on German data privacy laws. Historically Germany was ok in that regard (not exceptional but I'd say squarely in the "one of the better places to keep your data" camp). However "Vorratsdatenspeicherung" was recently voted into action so ISPs have to keep personal information of their customers on file just in case some agency might need them. The law passed relatively smoothly and that's pretty much all you need to know about the general trend (less privacy, more state power).

In which culture is this considered the "first day of winter"? English/US? I knew that the mid summer (longest day) was called "the first day of summer" in English and always though it was just an oddity in the language (like inflammable and flammable...)

The reason we celebrate christmas in late december is because old pagan mid-winter festivals used to be around this time. Sure the coldest winter weather is probably a month or so away still, but it's sure closer to the middle of the winter than the start, even if you count temperature and not sunlight?

I think that only westerners, with our pathological altruism, are silly enough, or brainwashed enough, to think that way. The rest of the world think of THEIR people first, as is natural. And any government has to take care of its citizens, not play world saviour.

But my point stands: if you emigrate, it is YOUR responsibility to integrate.
