> but I was under the impression that salt just thwarted pre-computed hash tables?

Yes. Because if you had two users with the password 'dadada' they would hash to the same value

Now 1234:dadada hashes differently then 1326:dadada hence preventing the use of a prehashed table (you could go through all salts for common passwords, but it's usually a bit long as well)
It seems that what they are trying to accomplish is the exact opposite of advertisement.

I tried coding on pot a long time ago and had a similar experience. I had written something so profound, but couldn't quite get it to compile: an endless loop.

But with light amounts of LSD (under 100ug) I've found studying compsci ideas to be useful. Not that I get any mystical insight but that they're so important, they stay in my mind forever.
You're not thinking on the 10.000 year timescale. So you hide it, after 1000 years someone starts digging there and finds it anyway, they see the messages and stop, and then the site is left unhidden for the next 9000 years, what should it look like?

Also even if poisoning people was ethical, how would the poison last 10,000 years? And how would you prevent people from using the poison as the potent weapon it clearly is? And what would the message be for those who defeat the poison to find the treasure that's obviously hidden by such a potent weapon?

It's not true for Gluster. It's not true for Ceph. It's not true for Lustre,
OrangeFS, and so on. It's not even true for Sheepdog, which Torus very strongly
resembles. None of these systems were designed for small clusters.

That's true. There is no system that is easy to administrate and starts with 1 Node and then can Scale to 1, 3, 5, 7, etc.

No system addresses this (they don't want to or it's to hard whatever).

Should have just linked directly to this article http://martinfowler.com/bliki/SacrificialArchitecture.html

I think an outline is:

- start with a monolithic MVP

- replace it when A) you find out it needs to do something else or B) demand grows >10x

- keep doing that; maybe cut off parts and turn them into microservices

Basically, it's "sacrificial architecture" if you assume and plan that you're just going to throw it away, either because you don't need it or you rewrote it. Watch out for accounting gotchas if they expected a longer amortization period.
Or asking someone who does know his physics to do it for them.
The primary requirements for waste disposal are geological stability and political expediency. These factors are hard and determine the site. Ability-to-mark doesn't influence the site choice.

This is some interesting work! I was musing about another algorithm to achieve the same effect, as I was reading:

* First render the scene in 3D, from the viewer's position, using a perspective transformation with the right field-of-view to match the "bounding angle".

* Save the resulting Z-buffer into a texture.

* When rendering the 2D, top-down scene, you can consult the Z-buffer (now a texture) to see whether that pixel should be highlighted or not.

I think this is a technique that's already used, but almost complementarily, to calculate shadows from dynamic lights.
Well, it is not so much about the forks I think. A lot of the software now days is just a building brick you use to build something bigger. And the problem with the GPL licensed bricks is that you can use them only with GPL bricks.
And I am talking about the code reuse as a whole not just the libraries.
Or let's take a look at it from another angle..
Whatever licenses you choose to use in the end is about the community of the project, and GPL is firmly in the "If you are not with us, you are against us" domain, which community wise works only if there is big boogey man. And there used to be one. But now days most of the biggest companies do open source, so it is not so clear who is the boogey man, and whom is GPL protecting us from :)

What I don't understand, however, is the need to romanticize software. There's too much magic in this. I get the feel that this is something very important, but I don't understand what it is. Anyhow, best of luck to the team!

> Proofs = Types = Categories; all related, all translatable in terms of one another, yet all different.

Proofs = Some Types and Type Theories = Some Categories, so I think even taken as an attempt to paint the situation in broad strokes what you wrote is at best misleading. Many (commonly studied) categories and classes thereof are not interpretable as type theories, and type theories contain plenty of terms that would not be typically interpreted as proofs.

Also, even in category theory, papers and books take quite a bit of care to be clear when they introduce a new term. Urbit's documentation looks like it took every conceivable opportunity to invent new words for things where we already have words. The complaint is not about made-up words per se, but scores of unnecessary made-up words. It's like they expect to trademark the name of every little internal concept inside Urbit.

I did read TFA before I posted. That's why I made a point in my post which is missing from TFA, IMHO. Specifically: more complex hardware/software (that can do more) can require more complex initialization, and it can be an engineering trade off that applies to computation systems in general.

I dived into urbit a while ago, and the way it is described makes sense. It's a completely new paradigm and trying to fit naming from popular programming languages would only lead to confusion. You have some new things, built on top of other new things and so on. When trying to describe higher level abstraction layer you can't afford to spend 2 sentences to describe each element from the lower one. So sure, you could go with some smart sounding names, but they would need to be much longer and they would make things seem more complicated than they are in reality.
How to fix a leaking conversion funnel to decrease saas churn
I started my computer services business because the place I worked at doing tech support had good people but bad business practises. It felt like I was given a great opportunity to learn new skills, which I did, but then put them to such diluted use that it did our customers a disservice. I suppose that's a sign that you don't just want a job, but something to work for as part of who you are.
did the same thing when initial theranos reports came out.
I'll add other objections.

> In space exploration, such barriers to movement don't exist

It takes a lot of training to operate a space station. Look at airplanes, which are less complicated. Pilots need training for a class of planes, and often for a single type. Switching between even different Airbus planes requires re-training - switching from Airbus to Boeing requires much more.

Upgrading a submarine can require "fundamental retraining for nearly 60 percent of the crew." http://www.public.navy.mil/subfor/underseawarfaremagazine/is...

Even for normal ground-based job, we often expect it will take a few months for a new employee to get up to speed.

Why should I believe there would be no re-training cost to switch between space station types? That re-training is a high barrier to movement.

> Then all the other space station dictators will get together, agree on some sort of "big charter" guaranteeing people rights,

So, a "United Nations" for space, backed by the point of a gun. And this will be more effective than the current UN how? And this would be different from current democracies, which "are always backed up with a police state that coerces you, at the point of a gun" ... how?

> What I'm getting at here is that the best political system for space exploration looks a lot like feudalism, though one full of yeomen (who were free to move about) rather than serfs (tied to the land). It's the only morally defensible system of government -- nobody is coerced to follow laws they dislike, but is able to vote with their feet, and choose the laws that best suite them.

"Feudalism" is an ill-defined term. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feudalism#Challenges_to_the_fe... . I do not think it's wise to depend on Marx's 19th century feudalism model given the 150 years of development of archeology and history. I see the above proposal as being much closer to the Goðorð system in Iceland, based on traditional northern Germanic laws.
Hi, I'm one of the authors of this piece. This is just a note to say thanks for the comments. For some context this is what we call a "preprint" (terrible term) of an article which has been submitted for peer review at a research journal. That means that we'll be able to make changes based on comments from reviews by appointed researchers as well as in response to the comments here. In particular your comments are useful in suggesting some changes in how we signpost our argument to make it clearer.

The article is in "academic-ese" and that's deliberate, if understandably irritating to a more general audience. We're targeting a specific audience, and we'll have a shorter and snappier version as well for the final version. As people here know well, the pitch has to be shaped to fit the audience and here we trying to change (a specific kind of) researchers' minds.

Also Graziano, 2015 paper:

http://journal.frontiersin.org/article/10.3389/fpsyg.2015.00...

"According to this theory, there is, of course, no actual mystery. Attention does have a real physical basis, but the mechanistic details of the process of attention are not included in the only relevant information to which the brain has access."

"This view, that the problem of subjective experience consists only in explaining why and how the brain concludes that it contains an apparently non-physical property, has been proposed before (Dennett, 1991). The attention schema theory goes beyond this idea in providing a specific functional use for the brain to compute that type of information. The heart of the attention schema theory is that there is an adaptive value for a brain to build the construct of awareness: it serves as a model of attention."

"A third advantage of this theory is that it provides testable predictions. If awareness is the internal model of attention, used to help control attention, then without awareness, attention should still be possible but should suffer deficits in control. In this article, we review the existing literature on the relationship between attention and awareness, and suggest that at least some of the predictions of the theory are borne out by the evidence."
The blog that the article was sourced from (http://liesandstartuppr.blogspot.com/) currently has a biting post about how Theranos' failures are endemic in the tech industry:

"Companies in the new tech area tend to be a little lax when it comes to doing things carefully - Mark Zuckerberg, founder and CEO of Facebook, tells us all to "Move fast and break things", which I have to agree is a great way to innovate and learn when your product does nothing of actual importance at all. It doesn't matter if you don't get your silly cat videos, or can't post pictures of your holidays, because your business payroll doesn't run on it, your medication isn't delivered by it, nor is your aircraft navigation based on it. Real consequences of a Facebook blackout are near zero."

"[...] In both these industries [generator manufacturing and medical ultrasound] the mentality was "we must make sure this is safe" and the idea of reducing or skipping safety is never considered, but I do not see the same thinking in many of these tech companies. I have literally heard "what's the minimum we have to do?", "we don't have proof it's a risk", "that sounds time-consuming and expensive. We should do <pointless but fast/cheap thing> instead", and "well if it goes to court our lawyers say they have good arguments"."

I'm going to wait for the 1070 benchmarks as in other series the x70 models had a better price/performance ratio:

http://www.videocardbenchmark.net/high_end_gpus.html#value

The 1080 is $599 while the 1070 will be $379 while the Titan X is ~$1000.

$1,500 for a 4x 1070 setup could be very attractive considering the performance should be on par with 4x Titan X (at $4k)

edit: forgot to mention power consumption as well, which should be a component of price/performance

Absolutely agree, this is one of the biggest benefits I have found since I started working with Typescript (that, and the ease of refactoring).

Of course Flow/Typescript's approach to typing isn't as complete as Elm's, but you can still gain some of the benefits by using one of them; and for many of us, introducing Flow/TS at work is a lot more likely to happen than introducing Elm.

I don't make notes while I'm reading or do a recap. However, I do use notebooks for "ideas" when I'm trying to get something done, or those that just show up. This is to not get trapped by the ideas -- basically to move them to a back burner, so more can happen. I sometimes look at the notes, but usually not. The writing down of the ideas seems to put them in a more useful place in the hairball.

if you can get to the same amount of tampering risk for cheaper, you should switch to that process.

and you obviously can, you can do - let's say - a multi-factor voting, so you use multiple devices to record your intent, and you use different kinds of hardware to assess the votes.

I for one welcome a trend of lightweight "everything you need" libraries. Really like where this is headed.
PureScript is a fully static strict functional language with a type system that is more advanced than that in Haskell as it allows to model all JS side-effects. It is based on the ideas for the type system in Koka [1]. That in turns allows more easily to integrate PureScript with JavaScript than Elm, but the language itself is anything but a thin layer over JavaScript.
