Most of the time for grad admissions they use the subject GREs and almost entirely ignore the basic ones (though they require you take them). Math PhD programs don't even care about any part of the basic GRE, just the subject test, which is used exactly how the article describes.

I assume in humanities programs they give weight to the verbal/writing parts of the GRE just as a pre-filter before they examine candidates. But the quant part of the GRE is so basic (high school level, no calculus) that the difference between missing a single problem is the difference between 100 percentile and like 75 since almost everyone who is trying does unbelievably well.

This sort of thing was mentioned in an early talk given by someone at Google Translate. (Sorry, I have neither the link nor the name of the person handy.)

As it makes use of parallel corpora, there were examples of documents mentioning (say) a famous person in the United States, but when the document was manually translated into French, the human translator selected a different famous person more well-known in France. It made perfect sense in the context of the document, but it threw a wrench into the automated translation based on those documents.

If you're speculating, i.e. purchasing for the sole purpose of selling it to someone else, who is also speculating, it doesn't matter whether the system is trustworthy, it only matters whether there is a "greater fool" standing ready to trade with you.

If the perception is there that people are trading in these markets, people will trade in these markets. But without fundamentals, the whole thing can quickly suffer from a collapse in confidence, followed by a "run."

It's no different than buying Bitcoins. Why speculate in bitcoins? Because other people are speculating in bitcoins.
Did you read the linked article?

Did you read it far enough to get to the part about correlating foods with cancer risk?

If you did, you are implicitly saying that broad-based search for significance on survey-based data sets is good enough science to plan your entire lifestyle around it.

Many people saying similar things does not make any of them correct. Being correct makes them correct. And to be correct, we have a religious ritual known as the scientific method, wherein the value of your conclusion is dependent not only on the strength of your data, but also how you collected it, and even how you asked the question that you wanted to answer.

According to the article, the overwhelming majority of dietary studies do not strictly adhere to the ritual, and therefore produce unreliable results. So if you would, please indicate the biochemical mechanism by which ingested meats promote any single type of cancer.

When you say "saturated fat", "trans fat", and "animal cholesterol", you are eliding over the fact that these are not specific chemicals, but broad classes of many different chemicals, each of which has a distinct biochemical role in humans.

For instance, the trans fats in meats and dairy are, specifically, vaccenic acid (18:1 trans-11) and rumenic acid (18:2 cis-9 trans-11), along with a few other conjugated linoleic acids. They are produced by gut bacteria. There's a fun article about those, showing how rumenic acid is actually the trans fat that prevents breast cancer in rats, by interrupting the normal conversion of VA to RA. [0].

The trans fats in partially hydrogenated oils are an entire zoo of chemicals, most of which are not naturally produced by the intestinal flora of livestock animals.

And stearic acid (18:0) and lauric acid (12:0) are probably healthier in isolation than palmitic acid (16:0) and myristic acid (14:0). Meats, while having a higher saturated fat fraction than vegetable oils, also have more stearic acid in proportion to palmitic.

Additionally, humans can and will convert stearic acid (18:0) to oleic acid (18:1 cis-9) with stearoyl-CoA 9-desaturase, and palmitic (16:0) converts to palmitoleic acid (16:1 cis-9) by the same enzyme.

So what chemical present in all meat promotes the cancers?

Confidentiality is overrated, outside of narrow areas of core tech. A few years ago, Facebook hired a massive fleet of Google experts, and replicated a lot of the tech and open sourced it. But the reason they cause Google competitive trouble is because Google didn't understand the social product and have a culture to build it, not trade secret tech problems.
I always do the same when seeing a reCAPTCHA or other captcha from Google: Type the correct word properly, and a slightly off word for the other word, which seems plausible to naive OCR, but still is wrong.

From the ideological side, as long as Google profits from the work of users due to their monopoly, but doesn’t provide it as open dataset under a noncommercial license, I don’t wish to support reCAPTCHA.
"All of the western political ideology (Colonialism, Communism, Fascism, Democracy) that came to Korea (and China) came by way of Japan."

This is demonstrably false. Chinese communism especially, was not just influenced but guided Russia and the Comintern. Mao certainly didn't get his ideas from Japan, and the contrasting liberal and fascist influences largely came from the West by means of Shanghai rather than Japan.

Similarly with Korea. Japan may have forced Korea to open up and dominated for nearly half a century, but Korean communism came from Russia.

> xmpp ties your identity to the server you register with, when there's technology to tie your identity to a cryptographic hash (you can use DHT to find people)

I have to disagree on this. XMPP follows the same model as email, where your identity is tied to a domain name, and I think it is about as good model as possible in our current internet. The key is that you really really should have your own domain, which then allows you to switch service providers at will without disrupting your identity. Of course I admit that it is bit idealistic viewpoint.

The immediate use case I thought of when reading about it was that you don't have to worry about where to put it. You ride it to work then the robot pops up its cute little face and it drives itself back home. Then it's waiting to pick you up when you're done. Obviously, that would depend on software that's probably a lot more advanced than the current prototype. But I suppose that's why they're soliciting developers.
Loosing weight is not that hard; maintaining the loss is what's hard - the notorious Boomerang Effect.
Well, in this case the order was "confirmed" then later StubHub claimed the tickets were "listed in error" which is an obvious lie. So for a start, they could start not obviously lying to their customers.

They could also add automatic sanity checking on listings, so sellers cannot accidentally list tickets at too low a price; and a manual offer acceptance stage in case the seller has chosen to list on multiple marketplaces.

They could also require that when a seller is selling a ticket, that the seller proves they actually have the ticket. If stubhub want to facilitate sellers engaging in speculation by selling tickets they don't own, they could clearly mark such listings, with the seller placing a security deposit so their obligations can be met even if the market moves substantially against them.

In the event a seller works around these protections (such as by submitting fake proof they have the ticket, or refusing to meet their obligations if the market price of a ticket they shorted exceeds their deposit) stubhub could take care of forcing the seller to meet their obligations.

Now consider that IPv4 + NAT + NAT traversal is essentially a crap version of IPv4+ that uses UDP port numbers to achieve an unstable, unreliable 16 bit extension to the IPv4 address space. Of course because these port numbers are ephemeral and unreliable all P2P code must be full of complex logic to constantly check for dead paths, remap ports, deal with different kinds of NAT, etc.

I happen to think DJB was right. If we could rewind history to, say, 1998 and implement an address space extension to IPv4 that was less of a severe change than IPv6 that probably would have been the better way forward.

Personally I would have implemented IP64, using the existing IPv4 space as the most significant 32 bits of a 64 bit address space. The advantage here is that an IP remains something that can fit in a typical 64-bit CPU register and remains short enough that it's type-able and at least a little bit memorable. 64 bits would be plenty to address every device on Earth. There are some nice things about having a larger address space but most of them are minor compared with the address shortage problem. IPv6 gives you enough space for reliable stateless auto configuration, but in practice that's going out of favor since it turns out you need DHCP (DHCPv6) for other reasons besides just assigning addresses.
Implementing OAuth to avoid picking a password hash is a crazy security tradeoff.

This is the kind of thing that made me feel like the Password Hashing Contest might be a net negative for systems security. In reality, despite what this blog post says, you could select the worst of the password hashes --- PBKDF2 --- in relatively weak parameters, and still be fine.

If you give nerds 3-4 things that do the same thing, we will find 10^(3-4) different ways to have arguments about them.
I think you may have misunderstood. On my home security system, communication interruptions to a sensor are treated as a "bad" condition and alerts are sent with a comm warning. The system fails open.

With the xFinity system, it fails closed, meaning that when a sensor loses connection, the system assumes everything is OK until it hears from the sensor again. An alarm/alert only occurs if a sensor affirmatively indicates a "bad" condition.

OpenBazaar model may be good enough or not good enough. Hard to tell. Fraud prevention may work with help of 3rd party arbiters, but 3rd party may not be 3rd party at all. And it's not even that hard to set up. Situation where seller and buyer have two distinct sets of trusted arbiters is also easy to imagine.

There is a much more interesting solution for this problem. No third party needed. Two parties, game theory and one established fact about human psychology could be enough.

Idea is following - if any of parties can't possibly gain anything from fraud in the long run, there will be no fraud. To achieve that, buyer freezes two prices of the item, seller freezes one price of the item. Money is frozen atomically, and is defrosted atomically. Money is freed only if both parties are happy. Some studies indicate that people have very strong feelings about justice IF they are dealing with strangers. This should cause strong revulsion of any unjust solution (e.g. buyer caving in just to unfreeze some of frozen money). To prevent such blackmail and other forms of psychological manipulation, both parties are anonymous by default and can't communicate using this software.

While we're talking Python best practices, I highly recommend using an `else` clause to keep the code being 'excepted' to one line:

def handle_login():
try:
ph.verify(hash, "s3kr3tp4ssw0rd")
except VerificationError:
log_bad_login()
redirect_to_login()
else:
log_login()
redirect_to_page()

It's not a big deal for this code, but in general this is good practice because

1. It makes it very obvious to the next developer which line is the one that is expected to raise that exception

2. One of the other lines could unintentionally raise that exception and mistakenly trigger the except clause. (This is more of an issue with Python's built in exceptions than with something very specific like this `VerificationError` example.)
I find Bayesian subjective probability even more interesting. It has been successfully applied in unique situations, such as during the cold war, by a panel of "experts" in the US, to locate Russian test fired rockets in the ocean.

It does not really matter what password hash you choose in 2016. Argon2 is great, and if you have a library for your platform that does it, use it. But if all you have is PBKDF2, please don't freak out and come up with some complicated alternative to storing passwords altogether.

The real, big risk is not using a password hash at all, and instead using "salted hashes".
The success record at enforcing them is pretty good, actually. There was a court case some years back enforcing a non-compete and now companies have gotten bolder at going after people. I speak from a little experience, having hired a MA employment lawyer on one of these issues and the non-compete prevented my accepting of either of two job offers.
You're doing great! Many of the commenters here are saying this is normal and you shouldn't be worried. They're right. Relax. You're asking questions and learning... don't worry about not learning fast enough. No matter how quickly you learn, it will never be "fast enough"!

Here's some advice which may help. Focus on smaller problems. If you need to solve a problem with an internal tool with poor docs, tell yourself you're not going to solve the problem right now. Right now, you're just going to improve the docs. So dive into the tool and focus on one method at a time. Read the source, the tests (if they exist), and update the docs with the knowledge you gain. Stay focused on each individual aspect of the tool until you're an expert on it before moving on.

This way you'll be in a position of ever-expanding authority, you'll inevitably arrive in a position where you can solve the original problem easily using the internal tool, and you'll have created some docs which will be useful to other people on the team!
The unfortunate thing about apps like these is that if you are wise enough to use it, you are wise enough to not need it.

Totally anecdotal, but the people I know who have trouble managing money are just completely unaware of it. Money goes in and money goes out, and they only do something if someone calls them or sends them a letter. As soon as you show these people the numbers, they get it. It clicks for them.

Mint and Penny both suffer from the same thing those "hire a maid" apps suffer from; Once I've made the initial contact, I have no reason to continue to use the service, I can just contact the maid directly. Same thing with Mint/Penny; Once I am shown my finances, I have an awareness of my financial situation and don't need the service any more.

What will drive me to continually use this service, beyond my initial few weeks? You can only analyze my finances so much before there is nothing left to tell me. And then you will get to the point that Mint is at, where you start offering me credit cards and credit reports and mortgages, because that's the only thing left to do in this space.

> once the IPv6 gets closer to 100% we can start dismantling the IPv4 infrastructure

It's taken 20 years for IPv6 to get to 10%. In another 20 years (2036), will IPv6 be at 20%, 100%, or 0% (superseded by something else)?
That's a fair point. I'm trying to draw a distinction between "speculative" research (which might pan out long term) and "industry-focused" research (which tries to solve problems we have today). My concern is not with speculative research -- that's great -- but rather flawed industry-focused research: making incorrect assumptions, failing to deal with the general case, not considering real-world constraints.

Matt, I was intrigued by your throwaway "not another multi hop routing protocol" comment. As far as I can tell, the field is very slow-moving. The state of the art, Babel, is at least 5 years old and is an incremental improvement on protocols that are at least 20 years old. Some very promising research was done into DHT-based routing with Scalable Source Routing, but this work is now from more than 10 years ago, and interest seems to have dropped off completely.

Are there a bunch of protocols that I don't know about?

Are you maybe referring also to centralized path finding algorithms? This would explain the comment.

1. The highly-parallelizable nature of RT is ideal for many-core architecture we're heading toward. Note that the PowerVR hardware used in the demo has 4 cores, needs no fans, and uses 10x less power than a traditional rasterization-optimized GPU.

2. The simplicity of implementing physically-based effects leads to a much easier time for artists.

I agree with you completely about "bad industry-focused research". It serves no end. My question is that, is it just a reflection of mediocracy and gaming/dishonesty being everywhere, including academica ?

In this case, please trying to take shortcuts towards their goal of improving the amount of publications and grant approvals. There is reward in the system for this kind of behaviour. You being a reviewer/jury position unfortunately do not have the luxury of a filter.

Is there a way to early catch this , by looking at past trends ?

Slight detour is that this is one of my rationale for spending time reviewing papers for journals/conferences. In average, only 10 to 20% of papers I review really stands out or appeal to me, which is correlated to acceptance rate of a top journal/conference.

It's difficult for Firefox to determine this. In this MITM case, Eve is your employer and she's modified the cert store that Firefox implicitly trusts.

Now it would be interesting if firefox could distinguish between the cert store that it came with and new certs installed.

Another idea would be for users to write an extension that could say "such-and-such cert is my employers and you should create a UI flag when it's being used." I know I looked into that for Chrome and it's impossible since it's not available to the extension system.
Whenever there is a version update, I can't help but be grateful for the documentation ethic of Postgres. For the vast majority of my projects I have to wade through unaffiliated and incomplete blog tutorials that may or may not be relevant to the version I'm trying to use. With anything related to Postgres, I may read about something on a blog post, but I always know that I can count on the Postgres documentation if I need supplemental information, or sometimes I'll skip the post and go straight to the official docs. The PostgreSQL project, in my mind, sets the standard globally for software documentation.

I should add that Postgres was the first database I ever used, and I literally learned pretty much everything I know about Postgres, SQL, as well as Relational and Set Logic from the official docs. And that was with no background in software development and an undergraduate business degree with Excel being my most technologically advanced toolset. That is a documentation success story.
