Again, no. Just because the result turned out okay, the way how it was done does not become good (or scientific). There is no reason why it could not have been done in two persons.

And btw: applying it to herself is a PR stunt. Just like politicians drinking water from Flint or Fukushima. Though iIt may even be that she had to do it because she would not get FDA permission. If not, still I would not thank her. She put a life (or health) unneccessary at risk, if it is hers or someoneelses does barely matter at that point.

Is this more of the justice system (and doctors, now) not understanding the Internet at all? We know I could go read jihadist website propaganda tonight if I wanted to, but I understand the true nature of the wealth of information I can access from my own home.

It's scary when a elderly judge doesn't understand the Internet. It's worse when that lack of understanding runs through the entire criminal justice system. Then you really are screwed.

Indeed. You could also use the PS3's VRAM as swap space when using OtherOS (Linux) before Sony removed OtherOS.

GPU malware is going to become really interesting once memory-coherent GPUs (like PS4's APU) become more available. That combined with something like packet mmap [1] may allow for data exfiltration from a GPU compute kernel without ongoing userspace assistance (MMIO packet send/recv => no need to have the CPU userspace side dispatch syscalls on behalf of the GPU).

Two other benefits to the FSM-based methods:

1. Easier to apply formal verification or at least model-checking to the parsers.

2. Synthesis methods are available to directly generate hardware logic from several types of FSM's.

So, using the FSM methods gives an immediate benefit plus potential for future benefits.
> I didn't learn my second language in a way an adult would, by connecting foreign words with the words you already know from your first language

Mildly off-topic, but I never realised until recently how much of a difference this can make. I've used French numbers far more, and for far longer, than I have Japanese numbers [0], but learning that way still results in me going "8 - that's eight, so its huit". Because I learnt the Japanese numbers through usage and without the deliberate English comparison, I go straight to "8 - hachi" without the intermediate step.

It's also weird to me that I can count backwards (say 10 to 1) far easier in Japanese than in French, probably for similar reasons.

[0] Note I'm a long way from fluent in either. I studied French at school, and have picked up a very small amount of Japanese through usage.
While kids aren't dumb, it doesn't mean they fully understand side effects of permanent posts for future careers. Heck, a lot of adults don't understand that and now you expect teenagers to be fully aware how damaging to your longterm career can posts be?

Pilot here. I agree with other posts about energy density being an important factor here. I don't expect to see all-solar aircraft anytime soon. The best way to get aviation to become carbon neutral will be via biofuels, which several airlines are already experimenting with.

That said, I can see a couple of areas where solar will contribute.

While it will be very difficult to generate all of the power needed for an airliner via solar, there's no reason not to cover the aircraft in high efficiency (triple junction) solar cells. A large airliner will have a usable sky facing surface area of 1,000 square meters or so (rough estimate). Enough to generate a few hundred kilowatts of power. If the aircraft has hybrid gas/electric engines, that power can reduce the fuel burn a bit (even a small reduction is a big deal).

I can also see where a serial hybrid design could be workable (e.g. lots of fuel cells generating electric power that in turn drives electric fans). This would be attractive, especially in smaller planes, due to the potential to reduce the risk of mechanical failure.

I think it has everything to do with it. Because text protocols share a single textual encoding with lots of tools available and usually don't force you to parse anything you don't need. Put a few rules in your parser generator and you are done. Binary protocols, on the other hand, each use their own encoding and usually force you to decode every little thing before they can be used correctly. Which always makes them much more complicated and error-prone, than textual protocols.

If that were true though wouldn't successive newborns have shorter and shorter telomeres?

Things are far more compex than you are suggesting. The tradeoffs for spead work out largely because you can increase altitude which is very useful.

I accept that Solar does not work to supplement the onboard generator used for electrical power on jets due to weight and night time flights. At the same time solar is ~1% the fuel cost for that amount of power for 20 years. They say they can scale this up 50x and carry 50 people. IMO, it would be better to build cargo only craft in that size range as this is far to slow outside of sight seeing in VFR.

Not to mention wind. That said if you can say double the solar power and add significant altitude and speed that's much more viable. I am assuming this is significantly worse than the best possible solar aircraft we could build in say 30 years.
Space/weight limits of trucks are not the critical factor - sure, they're "infinite" if you insist on thinking in the wrong paradigm.

This isn't the Internet where links have a bounded capacity and zero marginal cost. The trucks/planes have their schedule - more packages mean more fuel is used, not exhaustion of discrete slots. Delivery services do not make money by queuing packages.

Don't limit yourself to "intellectually stimulating". Lots of people have something to teach us about life if we open ourselves to them and go beyond "specialist, PhD etc.".
The journal article cited for this indicates not that smart people are happier with smart friends, but that "More intelligent individuals actually experienced higher life satisfaction with lower frequency of contact with friends." http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26847844

A lot of the meta-articles seem to be hypothesizing that intelligence could be an evolutionary adaptation for dealing with novel circumstances, and intelligent people are therefore driven to attack these challenges -- thus making them unhappy when they are distracted.

This meshes with my experience -- while I certainly enjoy my highly intelligent friends, I have not developed time-consuming relationships with them, because we are often focused on our own particular highly specific challenges.

Depends on what do you mean by that. nVidia ShieldTV is currently probably the best STB on the marked, it can hardware decode anything you throw at it (including VP9 and 10-bit H265), is less buggy than the reference Nexus Player and has access to most big network apps.

Large exception is Amazon's stuff, because Amazon deliberately refuses to support Android TV because they're pushing their own crap.
Of course there is the C programming language k&r and also Expert C programming which kind of cool also, but if you want to make really great software and write great code, then your only is not books but real OSS, go write some small project, improve it, present it to community and have it criticized , and so on in a loop, look for big projects source and learn from them, one fairly interesting project is radare2[1], it's a really cool project, please feel free to choose but look at projects already made and try to understand, you will learn a bunch from doing that.

No one is claiming the result is scientific or in any way equivalent to a proper study. But that doesn't make it worthless either. It demonstrates that it is at least possible to do this successfully in one human subject, which lends substantial credibility to the pursuit of the endeavor.

An enormous amount of science has been built on scientists testing things on themselves. Here's another excellent example:

I disagree with your way of reading the numbers. United states has 38 "Total Fatal Rampage Shooting Incidents (2009-2013)". All other countries has 0, 1 or 2 incidents. How can dividing the victims per capita can help you understand if this kind of things happen more often in a country than in other?
Tesla Motors Has Never Paid Elon Musk
"the "uncertain mathematical constructions" are hashes. More precisely, in Linux case, SHA-1 preimage (not collision) security. No civilian cryptosystem would survive the fall of hashes."

The fall of a RNG by biasing its bits is more likely than a full, second-preimage attack on a hash. So, a failure of hash function in one app != failure in all apps. You're certainly right that it would have bigger implications but might still be useful as MD5 is if collisions are out of scope.

"all other points are void as soon as you use that randomness from a regular application running on regular CPUs, as all the bit-flips, compromises and backdoors can simply happen there."

There's a lot of CPU's to choose from to reduce that risk. There's systems like Gaisler's Leon3-FT that are open-source, have resistance to bitflips, support mods like TRNG's, and run Linux. At this point, they have to subvert your ASIC process, mask manufacturing, or supply chain. Harder than a purchasing a Linux 0-day if target has decent OPSEC and avoids spy-friendly jurisdictions. ;)

If it's on Intel/AMD/IBM, your comment is true in most cases.

"but there we are speaking of HSM capable of doing the private key operations themselves, not simply providing randomness."

I was speaking of both. One problem I have is bootstrapping randomness. I do it by hand with cards whose entropy feeds into a CRNG unless I have a trustworthy TRNG. A plug-in, analog source with dumb, interface chip isn't going to be compromise by hackers... probably. Likewise, I can go further with a simple, coprocessor w/ ROM, memory protection, dumb interface, and onboard TRNG. Many available from many vendors of varying trustworthiness. Still safer than base system w/ kernel RNG and can even monitor (or restore) host system if I choose.

"let me spell out why this all does not apply to the 99% of us developing for consumer processor architectures"

I still agree with that, though. Main reason is nobody in 99% is going to use anything high-security because it will cost more, be inconvenient, and lack feature/app X, Y, or Z. Always was the case. :)
Some scientists consider ageing to be a disease. They're trying to rebuild telomere length to keep us young, so this sounds like a step towards that goal.

IME boarding passes for Ryanair printed at the airport are printed on traditional airline card stock (and usually by contractors, not Ryanair proper), based on a 'standard' design.

Ryanair wants the primary boarding pass to be one that everyone brings with them. In that case they have a lot more flexibility. So long as they use a PDF-417 code and it fits into one of those little barcode scanners they could design it pretty much any way they wanted.
And they're all exacerbated by the broken political machine the US has become. (Not that this is exclusive to the US.)

I will never understand how the right wing in this country has become so detached from helping people that actually need it. It's certainly un-Christian, but put that powder-keg aside for a second and it's bad for property values and businesses and communities and tourism and everything that creates more wealth when the least of us aren't cared for.
cancer is like the halting problem. there is no way to tell 100% if a program is going to halt or not. telomeres may be a way to help reduce cancer.
Although I don't have specific books in my mind, but such problem finding skills come from asking questions, always starting "what if ?", questions about making our life easier, people's life easier, company's work easier, just look and ask questions, also the best kind of ideas you come with, are the ideas that come from your own problems when you are the main user of that product, as you will keep always developing it.

Building a Better Breast Pump, Not a Milking Machine
It's important to understand the difference between UHF RFID (this technology) vs. others like BLE.

UHF RFID tags harvest all of their operating power from a reader's transmitted RF signal. Multi-access is handled at the protocol layer via probabilistic time-division multiplexing. The tag doesn't actually "transmit" -- rather, it is a cooperative radar target that reflects RF power back to the reader (sort of like an SOS mirror) by intelligently, electronically changing its radar cross section. The tags contain a single IC, and the antennas (for commercial ID-only tags) are roll-to-roll printed... to the tune of Billions of tags per year. The net effect: Tags cost around $0.10 each in volume. The read range is practically limited to around 20 feet, as dictated by FCC limits on the reader's RF output power (1Watt). Nominally, gen2 UHF RFID tags operate at bitrates up to ~500kbps, but there are some specialized tags that can transmit at 100Mbps using just a few microwatts (we used them to transmit dragonfly neural signals during flight!).

Meanwhile, BLE technologies can do push notifications, mesh networking, and the like. The beacon (tag) may contain a full TX-RX transceiver. However, due to the tight spectral requirements of their transmissions, they generally require an external (off-IC) crystal oscillator. The net effect is that BLE beacons are more costly -- on the order of $2-3 ea. This means that they are much less likely to be used to tag everyday items (like a carton of milk) or deployed in the billions for outdoor monitoring.

Source: I'm an expert on these systems as applied to robotics, healthcare, and remote sensing [1,2,3,4]. I'm giving a talk on them next week at IEEE RFID / RFID Live. Oh, and you can also buy WISP-like tags from a company called Farsens.

Since you asked for an alternative view in the post that was deleted, here's a fairly readable one:

http://waitbutwhy.com/2016/03/cryonics.html

The author ends up in a moderately pro-cryonics position. The most important parts, to me, were the analogy to a medically-induced coma; the supposition that, if cryonic suspension becomes fully reversible some day, it would be treated as a normal part of travel and medicine; and the cryonicists' own admissions that they don't fully expect the process to work, but merely hope that it will. There's also a pretty long list of pro and con sources at the bottom of the article.
You're completely missing the point. Those two things are not comparable. Yes, it's not a controlled study. But it still has enormous value.

If I tell you I invented a cure for cancer, you should be highly skeptical of me. But if I tell you I have a cure for cancer, prove to you that I have cancer, then cure my own cancer - you shouldn't give that treatment FDA approval, but you should sure as hell start the clinical trials process. Whereas if I do not treat myself or anyone else, you should just write me off as a crank.

That is the difference between the world before and after this self-experiment. It upgrades the probability in everyone's mind that this is a real thing and it can really work. It doesn't mean we should all go blindly get the treatment done, but it does mean we should take this research much more seriously. That is its value.
