Craig signed a message that I chose ("Gavin's favorite number is eleven. CSW" if I recall correctly) using the private key from block number 1.

That signature was copied on to a clean usb stick I brought with me to London, and then validated on a brand-new laptop with a freshly downloaded copy of electrum.

I was not allowed to keep the message or laptop (fear it would leak before Official Announcement).

I don't have an explanation for the funky OpenSSL procedure in his blog post.

I once flew back from Costa Rica to Zürich via Miami, because I wasn't aware that unlike every other airport I have ever been, the US doesn't do transit. Since that horrific day I never went to Latin America via the US again, no matter how much cheaper it would have been.
Valid point, but I think there's more here. Kenji is saying that he is satiated. It doesn't really matter what he eats compared to others if his brain/body is happy eating the correct amount.

The real question is: Why are people like Kenji satiated at an appropriate level of calories while others are not?

And I think the answer is going to be a complex mix of physical, psychological, and societal factors.
I don't imagine the musicologists charged with personally recommending music.

A more important task would be to restructure the "information architecture," for example to improve the experience of looking for classical music or jazz. There's a lot to do that isn't just based on opinions.

The dream of AI doing music history seems kind of bizarre to me... as well as the whole idea that human knowledge is bad because it's biased...

Extreme weight loss indicates that your weight has high variance. A history of being overweight shows that its mean is high.
The worst part about that is it's going to start forming consumer habits. Everyone will trust the taped over sign as being from the merchant, when it could just as easily have been installed by a skimmer. Furthermore, if people get into the habit of swiping first, then using the chip when the terminal asks them to, that still leaves an opportunity to skim.

it did not. google own deepmind, but the restrictions on data usage are pretty tight.

yes, but then again, i don't expect you to know what data it is that deepmind are working with, and what their primary motives are. whilst i don't know for certain, i heavily doubt the data is leaving deepmind.

> who are trying to find subtle correlations in the medical data

that is not what they are doing.

> That's not the only reason to not want your medical data spread around. A better reason might be not wanting your data in more places where it could be stolen or leaked.

oh please. i trust google far more than my own government for data protection; we're talking about an orginisation who leaves sensitive literally just lying around (http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk/7449927.stm).

> The "pathetic" part is the complete disregard for the people that generated that data. It doesn't matter if Google is talented at what they do, or if the data might be used for something that you might think is useful. I may even agree about the utility of the data, but if you aren't getting explicit informed consent from the people involved, you have a serious ethics problem.

an aside; it's funny that people are far more concerned about their medical data than they are their personal history. my medical data doesn't define me, but my actions do. if only such zeal existed for governments indiscriminate collection of personal data. oh well.

but back on topic, the data deepmind has (and i want to make that distinction that google does not have it, because they do not). it is anonymised sufficiently such that short of heavy analysis (which i concede is probably possible) very few inferences about the identity of the patient can be drawn. further, deepmind has absolutely no interest in correlating this data with people, and less than zero interest in targeting adverts to patients.

I wrote an article about mean-shift a while back if anyone is interested in more details about it - https://spin.atomicobject.com/2015/05/26/mean-shift-clusteri...

Some comments on K-Means - one large limitation of K-Means is that it assumes spherical shaped clusters. It will fail terribly for any other cluster shape.

It's interesting that the author compared results on the same data set for the different algorithms. Each clustering approach is going to work best on a specific type of data set. It would be interesting to compare them across several different data sets to get a better feel for strengths/weaknesses, etc.

He's selling the line that it doesn't protect governments as if it were a bad thing. It protects the companies in those states against the other governments for example, which is a good thing.

More people die because of coal/oil/gas power plants than because of nuclear ones. So now, instead of inspecting their own plants, which they have the best position to do so, they're relying on who knows what form of power generation.

It's understandable that you feel that by submitting the UK to an unknown even higher court you take a risk, but a lot of people on the other hand feel that it's going to be a boon to restrict the actions (and especially future actions) of their State. And the documents are public (and there is a push to make video recordings and even live streaming of the discussions/arguments), and in English, much better than when a company has to deal with let's say the Hungarian courts.

And exactly, because a lot of investment is not making its way to such countries, why the whole treaty is negotiated.
I'd like to hear others chine in on this as Im also curious. What I saw, though, was a general trend towards Intel dud go its price/performance advantages and many apps moving to Windows. The UNIX workstations could easily be five digits for a few CPU's. Maybe price didn't come down enough.

Additionally, most UNIX users were going toward BSD or Linux as they picked up steam. They were available on cheap, Intel boxes. On top of it, Alpha's may (3rd party info) have had a hard time keeping power usage low trying to beat Intel on performance. IBM PPC chips having that problem is part of why Apple switched to x86 for laptops. Eventually, Compaq killed Alpha's off citing the development cost (8-9 digits) and how sales didnt justify it. I.P. got spun off into Intel/Samsung company, licensed maybe once, and idk from there.

PALcode ended up in Itanium but not sure if for Intel or developer use. Far as Alpha, crash-safe.org secure CPU's use that ISA for some reason. You could always, in theory, put an Alpha decoder or whatever in front of other RISC internals to emulate one.

I see people every day going scrolling through their timeline on the Facebook app on their phone. Maybe it depends on your what your timeline's algo is showing you. I will say that I see much less Facebook engagement on the whole from people ~28 and younger, even in chat; people have shifted to Snapchat. Of course I'm a Windows Mobile user, so I am totally in the dark in that area because their CEO hates Microsoft.

But that doesn't really have much to do with what I'm saying, Facebook has figured out that original content is important (something it now lacks; if you don't include Instagram), that doesn't mean they've found the solution. Twitter doesn't seem to know that is important, but they already have somewhat of a solution.

South Park's centre-right perspective is so well known there's even a political class named after it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/South_Park_Republican
The results of this study, while interesting, seem flawed to me because losing 200+lbs in only 8 months' time is ridiculously fast. I would be more interested in a study following people who lost weight very slowly and steadily over time, and curious about their metabolisms and recidivism rates.

I've lost 100lbs over the last three years and have had zero issue (so far, not saying I won't ever) with keeping at this weight. I maintained the same weight, +/- 3lbs, for most of 2015 without counting calories or following a diet. In December 2015, I decided I was ready to start intentionally losing more weight, so I tracked calories and lost an additional 15lbs over the course of three months. My experience with losing weight and maintaining weight loss are completely different than the results of the study in the OP, and I am curious how much of that difference can be chalked up to how long it took me to lose that weight.

Studies like the one in the OP are fascinating to me because no one seems to go "Hey, your body achieved homeostasis at 450lbs (maintaining that homeostasis for however many years the person was at that weight) and it probably royally screwed with everything dropping half your body weight in 8 month's time." It seems obvious to me that at that point the body is in full blown crisis mode trying to get back to the homeostasis it had developed previously. Eight months is not a long enough time to adapt to a new homeostasis, not to mention whether or not the body is freaking out because it's "starving" and dropping fat stores at such a high rate.
They do, it's called native advertising. It still doesn't scale for the 100s of millions of pageviews they get.

And that's the biggest and best publisher there is, which goes back to what I last said: even if the high-end pubs do it, mid-tier and long-tail pubs definitely couldn't handle 1st party ad serving and thus would not be able to make any money.
Additionally, it's an open-source security-critical product that has a lot of eyes looking at, discussing, and actively attempting to subvert the technology.

For security "nerds", which hn is full of, it's a veritable holy grail of technological security.

Stands to reason that the majority of issues Bitcoin has appears to be human, not technological. Since the technology works so well, bad actors appear to be targeting human vectors of attack- create controversy where there is none, drive wedges between key players, sow dissent among community (a day doesn't go by that r/bitcoin doesn't complain about vote manipulation).

Bitcoin's biggest security threat lies in it's governance, especially if there are subversive elements in its community. BTC leadership has to get their house in order.
In the other direction, see the documentary "Why Are Thin People Not Fat" where a group of thin volunteers are overfed by about double their normal calories for 4 weeks:

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/magazine/7838668.stm

http://youtu.be/U1hbPXooB1U

They all easily return to their starting weight, and at least one volunteer gains muscle but not fat. The body is amazing at maintaining homeostasis. Here's an nytimes article from 2011 that discusses much the same thing as the article submitted:

If you want examples of problems with SJW, I think it's best for me to link SSC:

That's about the only source I know that a) points out the problems, b) stays civil while doing that, and c) does not commit the same "crimes". Many other complaints I've seen about SJW are done by people not better than the group they're criticizing.

The both sides of this war are really a symptom of a bigger issue; if there's one thing that's worth to read on SSC in this topic, it's the classic - "Toxoplasma of Rage" - http://slatestarcodex.com/2014/12/17/the-toxoplasma-of-rage/.

> systemd uses socket activation for it's dependency tracking.

Not just that though. Otherwise it would have no dependency tracking at all for all those daemons that don't support socket activation (let alone stuff that has to be started in a certain order and doesn't communicate via sockets).

In regards to runit: it does have a mechanism for handling dependencies - starting the other service in the start script (not great imho, but works).

Also I don't quite see/understand your argument (edit: say why I should switch away from it) against OpenRC (or OpenRC+runit) - since it does do dependency tracking and has sane service scripts.

And regards to systemd making everyones life easier: not mine sadly - had plenty of problems I never had with other init+rc systems (OpenRC, the OpenBSD one, the old Arch one, etc.), while gaining nothing I didn't already have previously (hell.. doesn't even boot faster - on average it boots & shuts down slower than before - median about the same).

> And as with other systems, you use a utility to start and stop services - which some object to, but when you objectively look at it I really think you'd be hard pressed to be terribly worried about it.

You mean that you start/stop services with something like systemctl start foo?
Yeah, I don't see why one would have a problem with that.

Unless Craig Wright comes out with further proof, proof that is undeniable and unquestionable, I am left feeling sick to my stomach.

I have read several articles this morning which tout this event as total fact (BBC, Venturebeat, NPR and more), and it just saddens me. If this is a hoax, I have lost even more respect for these outlets. If this is a hoax, I have also lost respect for Gavin Andersen, unless he has an ulterior motive for backing Wright in the first place, or was hacked as some have speculated.

Whenever this kind of "unveiling" happens, I get disheartened. It makes a serious technical community and set of ides I care very much about look like little more than a soap-opera or disorganized group of gossip-hounds, as protrayed in major media outlets, overshadowing everything else.

Total bummer (until further proof and/or notice).
