"as it’s going to be a glorified one-time pad"

One-time pads are impractical. You need a key that's as long as your message. Pre-shared. You need "information-theoretic security" of your random numbers (that's extraordinary!). You must never ever re-use the key.

Exactly 100% of One-time pads that people code are simply badly done stream ciphers, not One-time pads.

I quit using AngelList when a recruiter confirmed that he'd seen that my profile was actively browsing the site.

What if the question was phrased as what is the real reason we wake up and dedicate some conscious time for our mind? Surely, because in the physical world we live we need to arrange for some time to deal with the unavoidable practical things such as finding food and shelter. Then, after a long enough period of this activity focused on these very tangible, physical and physiological constraints we can finally say we fall to sleep again.

Actualy I think that messages are only kept until all registrered devices (at reception time) get them. For instance if you register a new device to iCloud you never get previous messages (otherwise San Bernadino case is moot cause they could have access this history).

I think there is also an expiration time limit running from the moment the first device receive a message for the others devices to get the same message, but we are in undocumented territory about that AFAIK...
But you can easily answer of course, which is because induction can't not work.

For it to not work there has to be a step N where the N-1 step satisfies the claim proven and the Nth step violates the claim. By hypothesis this is exactly what you have proven to never happen in the inductive step of the proof.

Probably GP will then answer with something like "how do you know that N-1 works" or something equally obnoxious. (It's not obnoxious because it's an invalid question, it's obnoxious because GP is just being a pain at that point, and coming up with objections to be annoying but without actually caring about the answer. It's like if you answer every statement anyone ever makes with "I would like to respond, but I can't be sure you aren't an evil demon sent to trick me, or a foreigner who speaks a language that sounds exactly like english but with a completely different meaning.")
Hi Darren.
It's mostly sleep deprivation though. I graduated with a 3.7 from a top 5 school in CS after I was treated. My apnea was SEVERE before treatment: 30 apneas per hour.

I doubt I had any brain damage, though my study only recorded a min SpO2 of 90%.
This might be "false personation" under California law. See California penal code 529.[1] This is slightly different from identity theft. It's a criminal offense. The key elements of this offense are that someone else impersonated you in some way, and they derived some benefit from doing so. Because this is a criminal offense, AngelList's TOS's arbitration clause does not apply. You can file a police report with the SFPD. If several people do that, something might be done about it.

Hassabis declared somewhere that AlphaGo evaluates 10,000 positions per second. That's not brute force for today standards. It has two neutral networks that decides where to look for moves, how good a position is and then it does a Monte Carlo search there. I believe the positions in the MC search tree are not counted as part of those 10k positions.

It certainly isn't ironic nor is it a breakdown, the pigeonhole principle is stated on finite number of containers and a finite number of pigeons.

However, if you just arbitrarily change it around, you may well find that the new statement you just generated is not true any more, if it even makes sense at all.
uhm, you can retweet someone while also writing your own comment thus giving your own take and giving people their credit's due!

Okay, the stock in the 4-year stock grant is imaginary in the same sense that your future salary is imaginary. I mean, fine, call it imaginary if you want, but that's true of all pay.

The Google vesting schedule, AFAIK, is 1-year cliff and then quarterly vesting thereafter. Which means that, past the first year, at most 90 days of stock is money that might vanish if you leave. I agree it'd be a lot nicer if it vested daily, but it's completely silly to characterize this as imaginary. It would also be completely silly, supposing that you'd worked at Google for 17.9 months and gotten 15 months of stock vestiture, to describe the stock you get 3 days later as a "windfall".

The point of all this is that it is completely reasonable, when discussing how much Google paid a person, to sum up their base pay, plus their bonus, plus the value of the amount of stock that they vest in a year.

If you're choosing between an offer at Google, say with $110k plus 15% bonus target plus 4 years of stock currently valued at $180k (i.e. roughly $45k per annum, probably more by the time it vests), vs working at a startup offering a base pay of $150k (plus say 10% bonus target dependent on revene, and some joke amount of stock valued at some joke number), I think it's pretty obvious that purely from an expected-value-financial-benefit standpoint, you should go with El Goog. Because "total comp" is a real thing. (Not that any sane person thinks that's the most important aspect of such a choice.)
Actually AlphaGo found that move and it rated it at a 1:10000 chance of being played. Possibly because of that it didn't evaluate the possible continuations. However it also took almost another ten moves before the value network decided that it was losing the game.
That's an excellent documentation, in my opinion. Extensive and complete.

As an example: It doesn't just say: 'Can use MQTT.'. Instead it details the usage of MQTT by the appplication and even how to set up an MQTT service on a Rasperry Pi.

It details common usage scenarios.

Prohibition has many causes. The international treaty / 'Single Convention' was the first international treaty to prohibit cannabis.

The Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs of 1961 is an international treaty to prohibit production and supply of specific (nominally narcotic) drugs and of drugs with similar effects except under licence for specific purposes, such as medical treatment and research. As noted below, its major effects included updating the Paris Convention of 13 July 1931 to include the vast number of synthetic opioids invented in the intervening thirty years and a mechanism for more easily including new ones.

The weird thing about opposition to ad blocking is that downloading a page via curl or wget means I see no ads at all, just links to JS hosted on other servers. But nobody says those tools are unethical (I think).

Incidentally, I wonder why we don't see more ad networks implemented server-side as a way to help prevent blocking? Is it too hard to track with reasonable accountability?

As this is a laptop, PC-BSD could be a good choice which is FreeBSD tuned to desktop usage. Plain FreeBSD is also not a bad choice. The other major BSDs have clear niches while FreeBSD is probably the best supported, most popular and is strong in the broadest range of areas. I wouldn't bother with something obscure like Ubuntu BSD unless you're actually keen to help out with improving it. I'd find the opposite more interesting: some sort of BSD/Linux.

amazon isn't trustworthy

They simply don't give a shit that it's virtually impossible to buy non-counterfeit laptop chargers, phone chargers, batteries, or most electronics on their site.

They also are alleged to, when you buy item X directly from amazon, ship you item X from the closest warehouse both in their stock and in fulfilled by amazon stock. So who knows that the hell the provenance of the item you receive is.

All of the above is fine for a book or a shirt, but not fine for power electronics or food.

Though Apple sucks as well for gouging you on their ludicrously overpriced chargers with their fragile yet non-replaceable output cables. If their chargers weren't nearly $100 w/ tax and shipping this wouldn't be as big of a problem.
I suspect that complaints and indications of suffering exacerbate the 'othering' problems.

To me it's entirely conceivable that when people were torturing for our government 10 years ago, their conscience was less engaged if their victims were already strapped to a table and looked pathetic before they waterboarded them.

I think a non-dangerous bright flash of light or clap of loud noise would might act like an interrupt to their behavior before any rational or humanity-based tactics could be employed effectively.
By the "same thing" you mean unlocking a church door? There is nothing "the same" about unlocking a slide bolt, and unlocking your phone by swiping an graphic which responds to your touch by animating an element of the graphic along a predefined path.

To the contrary, I think it's quite a clever implementation. If somehow inventions like this did not qualify for patent protection, then very little would. Which is a fine argument if you just hate all patents, but if you actually read and understand the slide-to-unlock patent, as far as software patents go, it's not a bad one.

Some specific claims have been found to have prior art, but the patent as a whole is not invalid. And certainly not because of door bolts.
I have problems with writer's block, but my problem seems quite different from what's described here.

Does anyone else have this problem?

Too bad that "strictNullChecks" is not the default behaviour. Because this is the only really sane default, and is one the the things I loved so much in strongly types languages such as OCaml, F# or Haskell. It reduces so make case distinctions (and forgotten if/switch checks) to the only places where these are really used.

Also, "strictNullChecks" is kind of optional security, which is almost always a bad idea in the long run.

Maybe they did this for backwards compatibility? Are there any plans to make "strictNullChecks" the default in the future?

The theory being that sleep was a way to clear out waste from the brain during normal operation, due to the lymphatic system not extending to the brain, it has to put itself into "sleep mode" to drain the waste.

This might explain why memory is usually better after a good night's sleep, and also the cause of dreams - which is just misfiring of neurons while the waste is being cleared.
I’ve been using Hands Off! for the functionality for the past few years, but if I had known that the functionality was based on your kernel extension, I would’ve switched away from Hands Off! in a heartbeat (I already get the firewall features of Hands Off! from Little Snitch, so the only reason I use Hands Off! is for the disk access control feature).

Out of curiosity, could you provide a link to the website advertising your kernel extension (if it still exists)? As an OS X user, I feel pretty bad that I wasn’t aware of its existence (I would’ve certainly recommended it to my friends).
I second this and it's arguably scarier than OP. I've seen this tab before - it shows everyone in our industry who has ever expressed interest in our company through AngelList. It lets me CRUD job listings and contact/reject any candidate. Presumably I got this incredibly far-reaching access simply because I was confirmed as one of 50 employees with an AngelList account. As far as I know, there was no intervention or approval from our recruiting lead.

From applicant perspective: as soon as you apply for a job through AngelList, everyone who ever works at that company (now and future) can trivially find you and decide your fate.

This is really uncomfortable from the company's perspective too. I could just as easily have been an employee who isn't expected to recruit / shouldn't be making first contact with candidates / shouldn't be able to touch job listings.

I would imagine that would open a whole can of works for clearing licensing for clips used on shows produced at the local NPR stations. Right now, you can be pretty well assured that there's a limited audience for these based on signal propagation. The moment that you take a local station and put it online the agencies through which you clear these clips are going to squeeze you for more money because the potential audience size is larger.

We've examples of some pretty deep Graph queries (8 levels), for e.g. the last query here: https://github.com/dgraph-io/dgraph/wiki/Test-Queries

Finding the shortest route between A and B is on the roadmap. This would mean adding a weight to the edge. Navigation adds yet another interesting factor, which means we need to store multiple weights per edge, depending upon time of the day, day of the week, or day of the year etc. This would be an interesting challenge to solve; probably by v1.0.

The videos are really great.

The animations are so easy to understand, they could have produced them without any sound, and they would still be internationally comprehensible. Also, without sound they could have reduced the pauses to at most half of their length. As of now, these pauses make the videos a bit boring to watch.

But they should have used real videos instead of computer animations - that would have been even more convincing.
