The problem with the Snowden revelations is that it was public knowledge what was going on years before Snowden, but it was mostly rumors with little evidence. Meanwhile it started around 9/11 so anyone who pointed it out was shouted down by cowards and angry blowhards claiming there wasn't enough evidence.

Then Snowden comes with the evidence but by then people had already made up their minds before having the facts and everybody was tired of hearing about it. So the frog boils.
GPS, especially inexpensive GPS, is widely considered unsuitable for life-safety applications, for a variety of reasons. The bottom line is that it is not accurate or reliable enough. This is why all commercial uses of GPS have a backup mechanism of some sort, and indeed most navigation is far less reliant on GPS than people believe (e.g. airplanes continue to make extensive use of VOR and ILS). Ships at sea are perhaps the only environment in which satellite positioning is sometimes relied on exclusively, and of course as soon as they are near any other object (land, another ship) they rely on visual navigation for safety.

The problem with the rail network is figuring out this backup system.

Hm, i don't think i have a specific example of the first issue that isn't under NDA. In the abstract, "higher order" derivations, that is derivations that produce other derivations which in turn get built are a bit cumbersome to work with. Nix is perfectly capable of expressing complex dependencies which just invites a person to push it to its limits. The limits are purely practical. You can go as far with nix as you are patient with working in a barebones language.

Number 2 is probably a bug, yea. It's certainly not a design flaw. It's just a wart. Unfortunately, even though nix has a strong community of great contributors, it's a very ambitious project and so warts and rough edges are part and parcel of the nix experience.
I think the reason that Climategate was ignored is because the original author had n=3 to prove his point. If his n was bigger it might have been studied but that seems like an issue of not having enough data points in the original author of the referred paper and not of his analysis. If you had a larger n you might find a different pattern also .

"Apple has a proven ability to reinvent itself"

Apple does, or Steve Jobs did? I don't think Cook is anywhere near Jobs. Meanwhile, Larry Page is not only still alive, but is positioning his company so that he still has creative power and final say.

As much as I love Apple, I'm not as optimistic of their future without Jobs.

> Modern Schemes are fully as production-ready as CL.

Modern Scheme still doesn't have hash tables (c.f. R7RS[1]; of course Lisp has them). That, right there, prevents it from being a production-ready language. I could omit the rest of this post and I'd be right.

Scheme does have continuable exceptions, but it's still a far cry from Lisp's conditions and restarts.

Scheme's type system is extraordinarily lightweight. There's no way for the user to define new types, nor even a lightweight way to query for an object's type (unless I've missed something, one must use the various type predicates one-by-one).

Relatedly, there's no way to declare variable or function types; no way to pass that information on to an optimising compiler. There are no compiler macros. Indeed, compilation in general is woefully underspecified.

There's no object-orientation: no classes, no generic functions, none of that. One has to roll one's own if one wishes to.

Although it does have cond-expand, unlike Lisp Scheme doesn't specify READ-SUPRESS which works in conjunction with #+ and #- to skip variant syntax supported by other implementations.

This raises the issue of the reader in general. Scheme's reader is not extensible; it lacks reader macros. It provides no access to the current readtable, or any way to manipulate it.

Scheme doesn't even have a general (i.e., unhygienic) macro facility! Its hygienic macros are sufficient for many use cases, but not all — e.g. anaphoric macros.

Its iteration construct (yes, singular!) is severely limited. There's no general facility like LOOP.

It lacks settable places (this is the capability in Lisp of writing `(setf (getf 'foo bar) 'baz)`).

Scheme does finally have dynamic variables, although they are more unwieldy to use than Lisp's specials.

I do like its well-specified numeric tower.

> Modern Schemes like Chicken have fairly extensive collections of practical libraries and features that barebones Scheme implementations lack.

But they require that for even very basic functionality (like hashtables!). One of Common Lisp's downfalls is having to use implementation-specific functionality; Scheme is worse.

A related problem with Lisp is that Gray streams aren't part of the standard. But Scheme's ports are even less-specified than Lisp's streams.

> To add to that, Scheme is far more elegant than CL, and doesn't contain all of the ancient crud of CL, so is far more pleasant and easy to program in.

You know what I find pleasant? A language which anticipates my needs and my problems, and has already solved them. Time and time again I find that Common Lisp has done exactly that.

I'll certainly admit that there are parts of Lisp I'd change (the default upcasing is hideous; some of the function names are ugly; the varying argument order between similar functions is beyond lame). But I'd never want to use a language which treats NIL as true!

Scheme's not really a toy: it's clay which can be used by thinkers as well as students to play with problems. But it's not suitable for writing portable, high-performance, industrial-strength, real-world problems. Common Lisp is.

A minor correction as a courtesy to other readers: puppet, chef, etc are not atomic. They can usually be considered thread safe across processes, if for some reason you run two simultaneously, but that is not a guarantee. Their changes are visible while they are executing on the system, so to other unrelated processes, they are not atomic.

Nix is atomic.

Put a rat in a box. Connect a lever to a pellet dispenser. When the rat pushes lever, it gets a food pellet. This trains the rat to push the lever.

Now modify the lever to only give a food pellet sometimes. Sometimes there's nothing. This turns out to be much more effective at getting the rat to compulsively press the lever.

Now look at the internet, and services with frequent updates like Facebook, Twitter, or even HN. Sometimes you push the lever and get a reward, and sometimes you don't, effectively training the user to compulsively check.

It's not about bruteforcing.

If I want a 128-bit security level, I'm willing for a random guess of my key to have a 2^-128 chance of being correct. I'm likewise willing for a prime I generate to have a 2^-128/uses chance of not being prime (where uses is equal to the number of times I'll actually be using it).

I can't be 100% certain that a large number is actually prime. But I can be certain enough. Having a 2^-80 chance of being wrong isn't good enough when I want a 2^-128 security level.

> When we talk about 128-bit security, we mean that it takes ~2^128 work to break it; not that there's a 2^-128 chance that it is broken.

But it also implies that e.g. the attacker has a 2^-128 chance of randomly guessing a key.
There is some use of cameras instead of windows on the train involved - instead of the conventional wing mirrors, it has rearward-facing cameras for watching the platform.

The operators hate it, and have raised concerns about safety. The quality of human vision, related to both resolution and more importantly dynamic range, is much, much better than any extant camera and display system (especially affordable ones). The system you propose simply wouldn't allow the operators to see well enough, even with very expensive equipment used.
In the insanely unlikely event either company disappeared, it would mostly provide market opportunities; and how much it might "hurt" in the meantime is a very personal thing. I'd sure miss my iPhone or my Macbook Air way before I'd miss Google Maps or Search, the two Alphabet products I use religiously. Others might feel differently.

If Google were abducted by space aliens I'd immediately start an online ad exchange supported by a ubiquitous cookie. If Apple were likewise abducted I'd fork Android and hire a good industrial designer and try to eat Samsung's lunch before they come to their senses.

Neither company makes anything the average user can't live without, and neither company has a monopoly on stuff that excites nerds like us. Both are very very good at some things, sure, but let's not pretend the world really needs them per se.

And unaided humans are perfect. Got it.

The problem with the rail network is figuring out this backup system.

Well, considering there's no backup system in place on many routes now, I'd say even the flakiest iPhone speed-alarm app is better than nothing. I can program my car to tell me if I exceed the speed limit. I'm sure multiple people will chime in to tell me several very good reasons why trains can't do that (or downmod me for asking.)

In this case it might not have been enough to save the train, though, if the speculation is correct about the engineer being temporarily knocked out due to hitting his head while ducking a rock that might or might not have been chucked through the windshield.

The problem with learning C is it's easy to code things that work most of the time, but not always. A great many C coders don't really understand the architecture, and they don't get the immediate feedback that learning requires.

In my last big C project it wasn't uncommon at all to find memory leaks and out of scope references to stack variables. You'd add a line of code and the whole thing would blow up because it changed the state of the stack and unmasked a problem in another module. I would find the culprit and figure out if they were being sloppy or they just didn't understand, and it was usually the latter. This from people who had been programming professionally for a year or two.
Yes, how else would we keep the poor people out?
When I've seen this happen, it's been pure mismanagement. An order goes out to do layoffs, so people get laid off. Within days, people realize that they've laid off critical employees who can't be replaced and they get hired back as contractors. The employees who got laid off aren't happy about it, so the ones that do come back demand huge raises and some don't come back.
Very nice asymmetric backdoor!

If you happen to know the factorization and the factors are not too large (e.g. two 500-bit factors + some chaff), then you can just use Pohlig-Hellman algorithm to solve the DLP modulo each individual factor, combine the results and recover the shared Diffie-Hellman secret.

But without this trapdoor information (and, say, if p was chosen to be a Blum integer), computing the Diffie-Hellman shared secret is as hard as factoring that modulus (see https://crypto.stanford.edu/~dabo/abstracts/DHfact.html).

Google did most of what they do now ten years ago, before their activity had much arguable "intelligence". They have used AI to enhance various existing services but the improvements hardly seem earth shattering to me [insert earth-shattering counter example HERE]. Google's more pure AI product such as the Google Car are so-far vaporware at best.

Calling Google an "AI company" seems like calling Ford in 1962 "a streamlining company" - which is does violence to the concept even if Ford in 1962 maybe some money with streamlined cars.

I agree that they aren't same but I doubt if Apple is even in the same league as Google when it comes to AI.

Apple is a product company that makes iOS+Hardware for profit and also seeks rent to access this platform. Google is synonymous with search/advertising which is fancy word for media. For google that media comes first and platform monopoly comes second. That is why Google continues to offer all its services on iOS despite virtually owning Android.

For every product that Apple builds in future its success will be like a toss of a coin (of course biased). Google succeeds no matter which platform succeeds.

I understood and agree with what you intended to say, but perhaps "life events" may have been a bit ambiguous, and some people tend to define "depression caused by life events" as depression caused by tragedies.
Oh, 100% awful. The urge it solved for with me was the part of my gamer mind that likes to see visual progress over time from upgrading various things. Recently started playing Torchlight 2 again to get that same leveling up my appearance effect.

As someone who does digital marketing for a living, I'm not only acutely aware of all the tricks they are using, but also the "shallow graphic layer on top of numbers" as you described it. Sometimes I can even visualize it kind of like Neo in the Matrix.

Initially there might be some stimulus for me, but it tends to wear off quickly and that has been my big issue with finding a good long-term game to sink my teeth into. It also is incidentally the reason why Casinos hold no appeal. I tried slots once and the moment my brain registered that I didn't need to wait for the wheel to spin, and I could hit the button as quickly as I wanted to generate the results, I thought "wow, this is like a game with absolutely shitty graphics I have to keep paying for that has no skill involved." And just like that I had zero interest in Casinos.

So I see all this going on in my head, but then there are things like Dungeon Robber[1] that for some reason keep attracting me back. And they literally give you the tables and such for the dice rolls as they are occurring. There is even less of a veneer of graphics on top of the numbers (although in this case I love D&D and I think it reminds me of my younger tabletop days).

That is what makes a lot of this stuff insidious for those that are less self-aware. I can recognize when I'm getting the dopamine hit, and it can be fun to experience, but for people who don't see it for what it is, I can only imagine how devastating that could be.

These days I find myself (with few exceptions), gravitating towards team-based games that are played in rounds (like Rocket League) that have a heavy emphasis on skill so I can pick it up, put it down, and not feel obligated to grind at all. Those seem to hit the sweet spot at the moment.
