On skimming the links you gave, I find that the samples and the researchers' conclusion in each study do not constitute representative samples and empirical evidence for this “emotional contagion” theory, respectively. Both studies also focused on only 1-2 types of emotion (fear, anxiety), which cannot be extrapolated to all emotions.

"14th of September" would be the more common spoken form in the UK, and certainly sounds more natural to me.
There have been burglaries in my neighborhood. The thief does a drive by with one code and sees which door will open. Then waits a few days to revisit the garage to steal bikes.

I wonder what would be more profitable: Stealing the bike? Or: leaving a note that links to a personalized sales pitch, including a vid of their door being opened?
> Would it only be possible to use quantum computing to defend against quantum computing?

Not at all. As it is believed currently, there are a few problems (BQP space) such as the discreet logarithm that quantum computers can solve quickly. But lots of other hard problems, probably including all NP problems, cannot be solved exponentially faster by a quantum computer.

I'm much less sanguine about bulk hacking than I am about targeted hacking, and so I'm sympathetic to this argument.

However, I'm compelled to point out that the courts routinely order searches on parties that turn out to be uninvolved with a case, or even to the wrong people already. The standard of accuracy here is much lower than you make it out to be.
Is the comparison really fair? On a 64-bit system, the `std::unique_ptr<int>` takes 8 bytes, while a linked list node takes at least 24 bytes (as it must have a previous and next pointer). The larger sizes means less number of values can be in the cache at any time and may be the real reason for the slowdown.
The exact same thing can be said about marketing and advertisting - it's a zero-sum arms race game that consumes tons of resources and doesn't contribute anything. And yet, people don't have that much moral reversations about working at Google or Facebook.

Big difference between 'might' and 'would' there. My point is that if the company wanted it, it would not matter if some engineers had a problem. Fortunately the company stood up since this case was never truly about this one particular phone.
Scientific studies have looked at, for instance cashiers touching customers when money was handed back

The customer rated the employee higher if touch was involved.

You're close on the four rules. :)

1. Every firearm is loaded.
2. Don't point it at anything you don't want to destroy.
3. Trigger finger stays indexed until sights are engaged with target.
4. Know your backstop.

I can't say as I've thought that these guns (I just cannot bring myself to use the adjective "smart" in reference to this idea) would cheapen these rules.

It's more that it's yet another idea proposed by people that don't have enough experience with firearms to present an educated opinion coming up with a scheme that to other ignorant parties thing sounds like, to quote amother commenter "a gimme."

Yeah that's obvious, but we (operator) aren't legally qualified or allowed to touch this software or communications network. Only the OEM is allowed to use it.
So even if we had the VM, we would be legally not be able to use it.
We rent the ability for an OEM technician to use the laptop when we send the technician to our site.
An added irony is that the protocol is just serial comms over a standard rs232 port.

But then on the other hand, you type the wrong thing and you can lose communication with a non trivial amount of a countries oil production (2,5%).
Why? Australian ambition too big for its population size? Not enough people willing to serve? I would think competition to get into the submarine service, among military people, would be high.
You could make an electric cargo trike for every single person in the country, plus have some money left over. Some of that left over money could go into building bike paths.

Less people would be dying because of obesity, and air pollution. Two of the biggest killers. Actual things that are killing Australians right now. Not imaginary ones.

The sentence of Justin Trudeau is not an explanation. It looks like a something that someone with a very sallow knowledge about the subject would say.

It has a few conceptual errors, and if you use it in a midterm the TA will mark it as a fail, and probably try to ban you from the university

The important detail is the back story of that answer, that is unluckily unknown:

* If it's genuine and he studied alone a few Wikipedia pages and similar stuff, then it's a good enough answer, he got the general idea, but he still don't understand the details. He must try to understand something about the qbits that still have only two states, and that they can combine exponentially. Keep trying, good luck.

* If it was a PR setup, and a collaborator wrote it, then it's a bit sloppy. It's like going to a milk factory and saying that their business is related to squeezing cows. Next time try contact a physics. (But remember to redact the 2 pages about complex Hilbert spaces, it's difficult to give an short, ineligible and correct explanation.)
Well, that's their mistake. Many of us do use -Wall -Werror though.
Fortunately it works fine regardless, quick and painless.
> Disgust as general reaction to all sweat samples is more believable because sweat is generally viewed as an unpleasant smell.

Stale sweat is usually described as horrible. But there are many references to people liking the smell of fresh sweat - see a lot of fanfic for examples.

and about 8 times on this page: https://www.reddit.com/r/AskWomen/comments/1g19dd/women_of_r...
Ironically, in some cases that's exactly what I want! But what it really boils down to is that the Internet piece should be optional and the device should still function (perhaps in a reduced capacity) if whatever it's accessing on the Internet goes away.
Although I have studied the basics of quantum computing, I don't think it will become necessary for computer scientists to know the gory physics details of quantum computers. All they will need to know is that a certain function that is normally O(n^2) now has a magical implementation that is O(n), and another function that is normally exponential is now polynomial.

Quantum computers will likely manifest themselves as co-processors, and you'll have a nice well-abstracted API to access those implementations within traditional languages, i.e.

#!/usr/bin/env python4
from quantum import qc
qc.init(device="/dev/quantum0")
factors = qc.factor(15)
But that's not how it works in finance, why should it work like that for the internet?

I can do the real world equivalent of using tor by setting up a secure corporate structure and then commit for example insider trading.

I tend to find the dystopian vision of Terry Gilliam's movie Brazil the most utterly believable. In it, we have benign or benevolent actors, who are guilty of nothing more than incompetence. Evil is an emergent property of the system rather than a conscious act. People give up autonomy and privacy for retention of their bourgeois lifestyle, and mostly ignore the economic underclasses. A small number of malcontents are branded as terrorists and the government ineffectually tries to treat the symptom rather than the underlying disease.
I've researched this issue extensively, and I've not found a case before where a thousand people in the same place were searched pursuant to a single search warrant, let alone a thousand people or items located in different places around the country.

On the issue of courts authorizing the searching of wrong people, we don't know if the court in Freedom Hosting even knew that the government would deliver the malware to innocent people who were merely visiting other websites hosted from the same server as the contraband sites targeted by the warrant. We don't know this, because three years later, the freedom hosting search warrant is still sealed.
The point of an analogy is to illuminate some point of an issue by drawing parallels with an aspect of a more easily understood, unrelated issue.

For an analogy to be helpful it crucial that the two aspects being related share characteristics, and school shootings don't share many aspects with blackouts. A school shooting is highly localised, even if the location my vary; blackouts need to happen over a very wide area over an extended period of time to be of importance. A school shooting is an active act of killing, a blackout only increases the lethality of already present dangers.

Also, the concept of "negatives that legislation would attempt to prevent" describes things like racial discrimination, poor quality control of seatbelt manufacturers, improper handling of meat and chemical weapon sales to dictatorships as per your "the scale of the concepts doesn't necessarily have to match". Good luck getting much out of the analogy between the Northeast blackout of 2003 and selling weapons to Saddam Hussein.
No, the more inaccurate their targeting, the harder it was for them pull off a counter-force first strike. No need to lead them into temptation....

If we know now is the best time to study quantum computing then we can't know how much energy it will take to study it.
The only type used in the demos is vector<pair<int,int>>. Vectors are guaranteed to be contiguous in memory. I'm pretty sure pairs are too, but that's easy to test:

#include "stdio.h"
#include <utility>
printf("%zu\n", sizeof(std::pair<int, int>));

So it's the obvious layout you would see in C with an array of struct { int x; int y }.

Both prisoner voting rights and lowered age restrictions are being considered in various parts of the world right now. In the UK there's talk of lowering the voting age, and there have been court challenges against prisoners not having the right to vote. Perhaps the US will see similar stuff happen too.

Citizenship is always going to be a requirement for voting though, at least if countries exist. Democracy doesn't work if people from outside a region can have more effect on the laws than the people living there.
Yes. It's a huge problem - the IRS demands liquid cash in order to pay tax on illiquid in-kind transfers.

The problem isn't just in startups with stock options; another big place it arises is closely held businesses. You receive the family business as an inheritance and suddenly you need to pay - in cash - 40% of the value of the business. Such a large cash hit can and does destroy many companies.

The solution is of course to require the IRS to allow payment in-kind (shares). Then you could exercise your options and hand over ~20% of your shares to the IRS. Or you could inherit the family business and give the IRS 40% of the the company (which suffers no cash flow hit and continues normal operations). This additionally would prevent the IRS from overvaluing in-kind earnings.
Those arguments are usually when in context of the rich not paying their 'fair share' in the US. When the stats come out and show that the top 10% pay 90% of the federal taxes (not including all of the taxes you mentioned), it really puts things into perspective.
We've Found the Real Bastard Operator from Hell
Geekette's concerns are really only validated by the references you give. They have a sample size of 28 and 36 smell recipients, respectively (all likely bored undergrads), which seems hardly representative of all cultures and human behavioral contexts.

It's probably a fair hypothesis that they would not hold up to larger validation studies with more participants and more emotions tested. And to more rigorously interpret what was measured by these experiments, both studies examined fear, which has a well-understood hormonal response (adrenaline, etc.) that is already understood to affect sweat content [1], and one study examined disgust, which as Geekette states is a reasonable default reaction to sweaty odor—enough that this would seem to be a unremarkable emotion to claim was "communicated".

Concluding that humans may communicate other more complex emotions (love, hate, sarcasm, uncertainty, trust, whatever) through sweat is what neurobehavioral scientists love to imply via these preliminary studies and have puffed up by the downstream media, but they are just that: only preliminary.

> rules make it hard to get a warrant today

Procedural or otherwise, rules that make getting a warrant hard is a feature, not a bug. Perhaps "hard" is too strong; the 4th Amendment requirement for specific warrants is intended to add a burdeon to the warrant process. Preventing generalizations that make search and seizure easier is the very reason the 4th Amendment was written.

> require you to get warrants in every district

If a search is to be performed in many districts, they yes, that is what the constitution requires. As for Tor hidden services, I'm going to echo Susan Landau's advice to congress during the recent FBI/Apple backdoor hearings. The FBI needs to update their investigative methods. Modern technology provides many new ways to investigate. We already know that the NSA, for example, is very adept at using side channels and metadata.

Your "Tor hidden service" example assumes that giving these powers are the only way to prosecute some criminal cases. It's basically demonstrating a lack of creativity.

> inaccessible

Warrants are a permission to conduct a search and seize certain items if they find them. It is not a guarantee that the search will be successful; nor should it be. Besides, it isn't going to be inaccessible in many cases anyway. You already know the power of timing attacks and traffic analysis. That should be enough, in many cases, to figure out which jurisdiction(s) should be searched. The only reason you would need a warrant in "every" district is if nobody even bothered investigating.

Ask HN: Is getting into a top ~5 CS PhD program possible in mid-30s?
I'm looking to transition out of startup nonsense and move into basic research. Obviously, it's extremely competitive to get those positions, and pedigree is a requirement.

Rather than fight human nature (trust me, I'm smarter than most pedigreed people; it's just exhausting and socially challenging to prove it) it seems like pedigree might be one variable that I can actually change: go back to grad school.

Unfortunately, I don't think I can justify the opportunity cost unless it's one of the top few programs. It needs to be career-making to justify 4-6 years of effort plus opportunity cost.

Is this even possible, though? Honestly, I know how competitive it is, and while my undergraduate grades are fine and I could nail the GRE again, I doubt I can pass admissions.

I'm old. I've worked in software for 10 years, had Director-level positions, and make over $200k per year (even though I'm miserable) but industry experience isn't valued in academia, and I haven't written a line of LaTeX since the mid-2000s. When it comes to recent research experience (as in published papers, not corp. R&D) I have zero. It seems like I'd need to hook up with someone in an AI lab and moonlight, pro bono, for that person for ~7 months in exchange for a game-changing recommendation. I have no idea if that's feasible.

Also, how do people who go to grad school as adults line up the consulting work? Realistically, I need 400-500 hours per year (at ~150/h). I'd still be taking a huge pay cut, but I can live on that. (I can't live on a stipend alone. I have expensive health problems and live in the US.) I can easily afford 10 hours per week on consulting, in addition to graduate school. I just can't afford wasting more time going out and getting the gigs. This is yet another reason why it's essential that it be a top department.

Is what I'm discussing (getting into top CS department, getting enough consulting income to live reasonably) feasible, or am I just too old?
Yes. I'm not an architecture expert but I understand that if you do something like:

addl %ebx, %eax
movl %eax, foo(%rip)
addl %ecx, %eax
movl %eax, bar(%rip)

Then the second add can start while the first and the first mov are still running, because the logical reuse of eax is independent of the first and so will receive a different entry in the rename buffer.

Happy to be confirmed or corrected by someone who knows more.

If the Australian Navy is anything like the British navy, getting sailors into the submarine service and getting them to stay there is awfully tricky. The RN tries very hard to make submarine service all volunteer, which constrains the pool further. By and large, it's a far less pleasant working and living environment than a surface vessel, and a number of submariners also cite the massively constrained communications as a reason for being thoroughly sick of it. Extra pay only goes so far.
