Well, any culture existing today is by definition a modern culture. But, more substantively:

There are no cultures today which are comparable to primitive cultures of the past. One nice point I've seen made is that when hunter-gatherers were the rule, they could live on arable land. After the advent of agriculture, obviously, that became impossible.
Sony has its own substantial patent portfolio, which makes a big difference.

'Crime' is a ridiculous term, because the argument reduces to everyone is a criminal to some degree. But I think it's well established that there is a negative correlation between IQ and crime, of course not just using raw conviction rates, but after attempting to correct for factors like arrest/conviction rates.

mikerichard's point about less 'reason' to commit crime I think is a good one. A lot of crime stems from desperation.

Now I don't know about trying to create some kind of Bentham inspired calculus to put criminality on a weighted scale versus IQ and see if it all balances out.... The most terrible outliers are often economic or political leaders, by definition, their power in society gave them opportunity to commit "worse" crimes.

heh, pathologist here as well. See my other comment in this thread (1). I did physics, so I don't know what the general pre-med curriculum is like, but I'm not so sure a stats class would necessarily help more than two semesters of calculus when you're up against big data. Understanding integration and continuity are more valuable in the big picture.

My experience has been that big data is more about linear algebra, which is usually several classes beyond entry level calc or stats. You have to be able to reason about arbitrarily large collections of partial differential equations (albeit reduced to difference equations).

For example, if you want to talk about genomics, Durbin's Biologic Sequence Analysis is probably the most foundational text available. It introduces Bayes's theorem on page 8, has stuff that looks suspiciously like calculus on page 40, and is into Markov chains by page 48. They hold off on a formal treatment of entropy until about half-way through the book.

And for phylogenetics, the equivalent books is Felsenstein's Inferring Phylogenies. He introduces linear algebra before integration.

My favorite quote from Felsenstein, particularly germaine for pathologists (surely the taxonomists of medicine):

"Knowing exactly how many tree topologies ... is not particularly important. The point is that there are very large numbers of them. ... one use for the numbers was "to frighten taxonomists."

That's a common mistake of people that do not understand how AV's work and how virustotal work. From their own FAQ:

At VirusTotal we are tired of repeating that the service was not designed as a tool to perform antivirus comparative analyses, but as a tool that checks suspicious samples with several antivirus solutions and helps antivirus labs by forwarding them the malware they fail to detect. Those who use VirusTotal to perform antivirus comparative analyses should know that they are making many implicit errors in their methodology, the most obvious being:

-VirusTotal's antivirus engines are commandline versions, so depending on the product, they will not behave exactly the same as the desktop versions: for instance, desktop solutions may use techniques based on behavioural analysis and count with personal firewalls that may decrease entry points and mitigate propagation, etc.

-In VirusTotal desktop-oriented solutions coexist with perimeter-oriented solutions; heuristics in this latter group may be more aggressive and paranoid, since the impact of false positives is less visible in the perimeter. It is simply not fair to compare both groups.

-Some of the solutions included in VirusTotal are parametrized (in coherence with the developer company's desire) with a different heuristic/agressiveness level than the official end-user default configuration.

If it's not how it stores or encrypts attachments, it means it has to do with the way apple handles them while they aren't encrypted, right? Is there any other attack vector if we're assuming the encryption itself is secure?
I don't think there's a need to publish those addresses. There are already lists with those IPs available (https://www.openbl.org/). Telling people that the IP had default password on the router will only cause the problem to the owner who may not even be aware of the attack.

Actually it can use certificates. Not X509, but still simplified ones.
It's also called an insurance pool. You don't pay based on your own current cost, or even the old unemployed people's current cost. You pay based on your own expected lifetime cost, which is increasing substantially for those young employed workers.

ACA flattened the rating factors a lot to shift cost to younger insured. Personally I don't think that was good policy. You have a lot more disposable income after the kids graduate college, it's not necessarily a bad thing for health care costs to be shifted later in life. But annual premiums rise for the young anyway because their expected lifetime benefits are increasing substantially every day.

I guess my point is we all pay in, and we all ultimately take out of the system. If it was single-payer the cost would be exactly your marginal tax rate. As-is the cost is highly correlated with your marginal tax rate but just with a much lower cap.

The data gets sharded, and can be served by different servers; all talking to each other to respond to queries. This is how v0.2 works, which is what the demo is running right now.

A typical RDF data is (subject, predicate, object). We shard the data based on predicates. So, all the RDFs corresponding to one predicate are on one server. This allows us to find, say lists of friends of X really quickly; with a single lookup.

I think PageRank should be relatively straightforward for DGraph, provided we have edges in the right direction. We don't automatically generate a reverse edge, it has to be provided, if needed for queries.

What's with all the fungiphobia?

Within USA/Canada, learn to identify death caps and destroying angels. If you stay away from any mushroom that you aren't sure is one of these two, don't eat any wild mushrooms raw (very few mushrooms are good raw anyway), and don't gorge on anything that isn't obviously identifiable, your odds of doing yourself any permanent harm are very low.

That's not to say all other species are "safe." Obviously, you should only collect species that you can identify. But amanitas are basically trivial to identify (know their tricks, cut mushrooms in half to check for hidden/immature gills), and if you don't eat Amanitas (again, in USA/Canada), it would be a truly freak incident if you actually died of poisoning. You're more likely to be eaten by a bear.

If you are incapable of this, then not only do you have no business foraging for mushrooms you probably shouldn't be preparing your own food. Number of people killed or disabled due to foraging poisonous mushrooms is nothing compared to those killed by improper food preparation and handling, but you don't see people quaking in their boots in the poultry aisle of the grocery. The article cites five deaths in five years in all of California. How many people died of salmonella and botulism in that time? How many mushroom-phobes would be so reckless as to drink "raw" milk?

A lot of supposedly poisonous mushrooms are in fact edible, especially when boiled.
I know of and understand the spacing rules, but even one millimeter of (air) clearance can isolate up to 1500V if the board is clean (and more if you take solder mask into account). You can have as many design reviews as you want, and processes are very well and good, but they really don't answer the question of whether the design is sufficiently safe and reliable. Testing to failure is the only way to know what the product is capable of, as many designs have failure modes which are very difficult to imagine.

I agree the design doesn't comply with UL or IEEE standards, and that means it cannot be sold at retail in North America, but that doesn't mean the product is unreliable or unsafe.

Amazon actually does have these sorts of restrictions but they either don't work or Amazon doesn't do a good job of vetting the "approved" sellers. Some products (and some categories) are "gated" which means you need to get permission from Amazon to sell certain items. I even think the "official" listing for Mag Safe charger is actually gated. The only thing is there are 10 or (seems to be duplicate) listings for Mag Safe charger that are ungated. Some sellers are allowed to create listings too, thus getting past Amazon's restrictions.

It's pretty obvious Amazon just doesn't pay enough attention to the products that are sold on their website. Or they intentionally turn a blind eye. They had a bunch of listing for prescription drugs[1] and Amazon.co.uk was selling weapons that were illegal in the UK[2] for just two other examples I could think of off the top of my head. Oh yeah, and they sold cyanide, too.[3]

Blazegraph is about graph computation (think Spark's GraphX, OLAP)

This is definitely incorrect. Wikidata uses it exclusively for read/write queries.

The (GPU accelerated) graph processing in BlazeGraph is new, and it's pretty unclear to me if it actually does the (GraphX) style processing. The examples[1] are all query-based.

It does look interesting though!

Terrifying, as the distribution of marijuana in the United States remains a federal crime, allowing anyone in this industry to be legally locked up at any time by the feds.

Someone once told me that this is how most of China operates; there are many common day-to-day things (such as money transfers) that close to 100% of the population engages in that are completely illegal, yet tolerated. When a person does something that the state disagrees with for any reason, legal or otherwise, the entirely legal option to lock them up for one of the unrelated common activities (which are illegal) is used.
We don't yet have intersection, which is what you're looking for. But, it's in the roadmap, and as I mentioned, the design is built around efficient intersections (all posting lists are sorted lists of uint64s).

So, DGraph supports arbitrary complexity, so we try to not optimize for any particular query. Hence, you don't need to specify indices. We automatically generate posting lists, which store all the objects for a given (subject, predicate). For e.g., all the friends of X is stored in a single value, which is a sorted list of UIDs (uint64).

When we do sorting, we'll provide a way to specify which predicates to sort by. That'd be something that the user would have to provide; that we can't automatically deduce. For e.g., movie sorting by year of release etc.

We definitely want to build a "Sandstorm App" on mobile at some point, although it's worth noting that it would mostly be a hub for other apps to hook into your Sandstorm server, which to some extent they can do already, as demonstrated e.g. by the TinyTinyRSS Android app which can sync with your TTRSS instance on Sandstorm.

At present most of our apps are focused on productivity tasks (e.g. real-time collaborative document editing) with I think is the kind of thing people still mostly do on desktops. You can totally open Sandstorm and Etherpad on a phone browser, though, and I commonly do this when demoing it to people.

In any case, we obviously have a lot of work still to do, but I hope that doesn't stop anyone from trying out what we have so far. :)

> Your original post said that Neonode is not prior art for
> the claim asserted.

That is not true. The phrase "the claim asserted" was not part of my original post; I only used that wording after you replied to my original post with the court case, from which I quoted. My original point (which I'll quote for convenience) was that "Apple's patent is for a very specific set of claims; items which the Neonode didn't implement". Based on the video in the link elosyt posted, the Neonode does not have an unlock image (claim 1) that must be dragged along a channel (claim 3) with visual cues (claim 4) of text (claim 5) and an arrow showing direction (claim 6), etc. etc. Instead, Neonode appears to have an invisible unlock method with none of the visual elements that Apple claims in its patent.

That I was unaware that Neonode was found to be prior art for a single claim (claim 8) doesn't invalidate my original point that there are many claims in Apple's patent for which Neonode doesn't look to be prior art. Finding one claim to be obvious and have prior art does not invalidate the patent as a whole; the other claims remain. From Wikipedia[0]:

> If the independent claim is determined to be invalid,
> however, a dependent claim may nevertheless survive, and
> may still be broad enough to bar competitors from
> valuable commercial territory.

This is why my original post says:

> ... but in order to discount Apple's patent you need to
> show that there exists prior art for the specific claims
> Apple made in its patent.

You'll note I used "claims" in the plural, which was intentional. What you wrote:

> Neonode makes the claims of the Slide to unlock patent obvious

is untrue as it's only one claim in the court case you linked which was found to be obvious. The court case was silent on the other claims of the patent in question and, as such, the remaining claims stand until someone else comes along and challenges them to demonstrate prior art/obviousness. If my legal understanding is incorrect on this, I welcome any corrections.

> I don't know what are you arguing right now

I hope that clears it up. I'm not trying to argue for software patents. I think most of them are actually obvious and silly and amount to protecting something that took an entire minute to think up. That said, if software patents exist then I don't see any reason to not speak with precision about patents, and speaking precisely about patents means discussing specific claims not vagaries about the concept as a whole.
