No, but let me quote Jaynes (Probability Theory: the Logic of Science, 10.10):

> ‘When I toss a coin, the probability for heads is one-half.’ [...] the issue is between the following two
interpretations:

> (A) ‘The available information gives me no reason to expect heads rather than tails, or vice versa – I
am completely unable to predict which it will be.’

> (B) ‘If I toss the coin a very large number of times, in the long run heads will occur about half the
time – in other words, the frequency of heads will approach 1/2.’

These are not the same except for special circumstances like controlled experiments. Frequentism usually assumes or restricts itself to those special circumstances. The long run here means `for any ε > 0, the probability that the
observed frequency n/N lies in the interval (1/2±ε) goes to 1 as N goes to infinity'.

There is no such thing as an intrinsic probability, a coin only has a chance of landing heads when tossed. If we know everything about the coin and how it is tossed we could calculate the result. Some ways of tossing a fair coin are biased. Some coins are biased when tossed in fair ways. A fair coin toss exaggerates factors that are difficult to know and control exactly, like the force that we apply on the coin with our finger.

Jaynes thinks that `true randomness' such as is postulated by conventional quantum physics is unscientific (10.7). In any case it doesn't matter for calculating, and I don't think many Bayesians lose sleep over whether it's unknown, unknowable or `true randomness'.

If the Bayesian has an informative prior, they won't be mislead too much. If a Bayesian is 100% sure beforehand with a δ(x - 0.5) prior they won't be mislead at all, but of course no one is ever 100% sure (Cromwell's rule). On the other hand a frequentist might say p<0.05 and be mislead.

I've been using ng2 for a few Ionic 2 Projects recently and its fantastic. Rxjs is an absolute must - it allows amazingly precise code to manage mutation. The way everything is a component is great.

The government can just ignore the vote after reelection. If they say "vote for us an we'll stay in the EU" and win. That's the way it'll be.

In Sweden, several national referendums have been ignored by the government (shutting down nuclear power, switching to right hand traffic, new pension system). It has had no negative effect on either parties or politicians really. People are only angry as long as it stays in the public eye.

The truth is. To carry out politics you need politicians, and the No-side in the EU question is made up of a clique of populists joined by mass media. Without broad support by most politicians in the UK, the actual act of leaving will never actually come to pass.
Please don't look for strawmen were none were intended. I just pointed out how contributing to the country more than most people is clearly not enough to be welcomed, these days.

> Is there any (uncontroversial) theory that rigorously defines what a 50 % probability for heads and tails means?

Yeah, Kolmogorov's axioms:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Probability_axioms

To interpret these axioms for 50% probability means that the measure underneath the density function corresponding to the event "heads" is one-half.

But "rigourous" doesn't have anything to do with the natural world. You can't make physics "rigourous", for example, but you can make the mathematics inspired by physics rigourous. Kolmogorov's axioms just give a mathematical description of probability in a formal sense i.e. only discussing its form, not its meaning. Formalism is about saying, "whatever this means, this is how it should behave". It's a very 20th century notion of mathematics.

One specific reason I am personally choosing Angular 2, is that the Ionic2 Framework also uses Angular 2 [0].

So I can re-use code from my front end website on my native mobile apps for the new startup I'm launching. Much less code = quicker time to MVP, and lower cost of development.

My point is that it's completely idiotic to characterise highly-prestigious globalist think-tanks as anti-immigration or lacking intellectual capacity. They hold globalist perspectives which are worth reading and understanding; in fact the more divorced they are from establishment positions, the more worthwhile it is to understand them.

You are right that there are lots of people without University educations which backed Brexit. Rather than hating them perhaps you could try to understand their struggles and feelings on how they have been betrayed by the establishment [0]?

> Regarding Commonwealth citizens - I'm not sure of the logic, but it has something to do with Britain occupying them... At any rate, these are legal loopholes and not the standard state of affairs.

I presume it's related to their historic status as British Subjects (which some of them will still hold, though it's been impossible to gain status as such since the 1980s), which would have granted them the right to vote in Westminster elections and referendums.
I can't quite connect the dots...how is the involvement of the ex-CIA guy putting the family of one of the people in the logs in (more) danger? It's already CIA funded so any government that wants to torture people for using Tor can already legitimize that practice (but tbh why would they even bother) since they are "using CIA-software" or whatever reason you want to give.
I feel like I'm missing a logical step here.

I do think ex-spies should not be involved in the project and the insistence of DaveC1 is really odd (as is joining before getting clearance to say he was CIA...why not get that first then ask if he can join). Why isn't he coming to the conclusion that it is probably a bad idea and he can get involved in other ways.

Do we know who leaked this, is it more likely to be someone on the pro or contra ex-CIA-involvement side?
Logically it makes no sense for say mrphs to leak this, right?

As a Yankee, the one troubling issue that I saw was that there was really NO electoral representative government within the EU parliaments (plural). It was a completely 'appointed' bureaucracy, and therefore (IMO) the complete opposite of anything even resembling a democracy.

As important as trade is, it can not be allowed to overshadow the choices of leadership, or the ability of people to remove that leadership. Continuing in the EU would have been like (again, IMO) having the same president or prime minister for 50 years, with NO ability to vote them out, which sounds like 'dictatorship by committee'.

I got it. Stepped on it in my counter. The response to Pando piece and these logs don't fit that joke or its implication at all. Plus a strawman given Tor is meant for laypeople mostly. Let's restate the Tor sponsor page differently to show what they're doing:

"A US project about helping people enable anonymity plus fight oppression of authoritive regimes, from China to US, that's mostly paid for by CIA and other US propaganda organizations along with small contributions from these other organizations."

Juxtapose that against the IRC logs for the real joke. They fear what will happen if seen as affiliated with even one CIA person. Only imagine what their image would be like if lay users, not just security experts, saw their funding spread and sourcing. Probably why they present the sponsor page and other parts they way they do. Obscuring source to maximize uptake.

Truth is that they're a tool that can be wielded for good or bad. That it's mostly US govt villians funding it is acceptable to me for greater good so long as legit software. It is so Im fine. That's realistic. This hide the CIA guy crap doesnt fit with reality if they push a genuine one.

they want you to think they are experts with domain specific secrets passed on through craft-lore passed down from the wizened sages of border security.

But the reality is that this is no different than arson-lore (where firefighters testify based on superstitions regarding burn patterns) or leech-lore (where doctors recommend based on superstitions regarding your humoral balance) or polygraph-lore (where law enforcement interprets the squiggles of your heart to decide when you are lying).

All non-scientifically validated "lore" is just a superstition, and should be treated as such. The reality is that DHS is unable to stop terrorist attacks. Full stop. They can't possibly, in a free society.

That's ok, because that's one cost that a free society pays, but the benefits are worth it, so we carry on.

The problem is that DHS believes their own superstitions, has defined their actions to be "good" because "we're the good guys", and thinks that the public thinks they are responsible for preventing all terrorism.

This only stops when either the public demands change, or at totalitarianism. And you can't really tell, in full, when the first option disappears. You realize after you grasp for it and come up with wisps of smoke.
I didn't move the goalposts very far at all. If you quoted the rest of pcwalton's comment you would have had a more appropriate context in which to understand my reply.

Here we have a claim that encompasses 100% of a population, which is refuted by someone in that population who doesn't agree with the claim (and whose direct experience contradicts it).

And it isn't just my experience which contradicts it. Many of my colleagues would dismiss such an assertion as well.

Now if his claim was about "many" or even "most" programmers then sure, perhaps there is nothing to refute. But then his claim would have added almost nothing to what he replied to.

Saying all? That's either a dramatic device which I don't think adds to a healthy discussion, or a genuine belied that I think should be refuted since I'm in a position to provide counter evidence.

Still looks like a lot of files just to do "./opt/letsencrypt/letsencrypt-auto renew" Once a week (using cron) and restarting Nginx in case there is a new cert. Which is all you need really.

If Nginx would just start serving the new cert as soon as a new one is generated, that would be a nice feature and make things even less complicated (new cert is now the only reason to restart Nginx, apart from updates).
I am not sure if that really addresses my issue. My problem is that I don't see what eventually forces convergences to 50/50. We can use two or even better many coins or, at least superficially equivalent, one coin and let several experimenters take turns. The results will converge towards 50/50 but only with high probability, or at least I don't see why they alway would, i.e. why not at least one sequence could not converge indefinitely. And that seems to lead to an infinite tower of experiments.

When tossing a coin infinitely often the ratio of heads and tails will converge to 50/50 but only in that sense that you have to toss the coin an infinite number of times an infinite number of times. And you can't really stop here because you may still deviate arbitrarily far from the expected outcome. So you toss the coin an infinite number of times an infinite number of times an infinite number of times. And you have to keep nesting your experiments until you made an infinite tower of experiments.

And I have no idea if that would be sufficient to ensure that you can no longer deviate from the expected outcome, my intuition tends towards no, but then again this is certainly far outside of the realm of things for which I would intuition expect to work. Likely I am really just confused and missing something obvious.

Some sharia "courts" operate in the UK, as do Beth Din and Ecclesiastical Courts.

They're mostly for mediation and actual courts feel free to ignore them.

They've all been involved in pretty severe human rights abuses. Christian courts moved abusing priests around the country rather than reporting them to the police; Christian courts did little to prevent the sexual, physical and emotional abuse of children by nuns. Beth Din are currently involved in not giving Jewish women "Gets" - a religious divorce that can only be provided by the husband. http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/scandal-of-wo...

Sharia Zones, as talked about by US media, don't exist.
Oh I agree. My own recommendations are use of proxies tgat blend into crowd. One old trick was embedding stuff in HTTPS connections that looked like innocent web sites. WiFi w/ cantennas, burst radio, courier networks, and so on are also effective. Whatever it is has to blend into crowd.

Tor stands out too much. Also obscures what you're doing, though. So, a double edge sword whose benefit depends on situation. Gotta think catefully. I predicted NSA would auto-target Tor users for further surveillance given uptake demographics. We saw that in the leaks. Double-edged sword. ;)
True. As much as a service entices us, old version and having no timeframe of when we can expect an update to a newer version made us keep our self-managed cluster on EC2.

> If the malware author is paying any attention, then their malware will simply refuse to run (C&C won't provision it with a payload) if a backdoor key is installed

That looks like a solution to the malware problem to me. Only people who want to run SGX-based DRM would leave the default key in place. And DRM is structurally indistinguishable from malware.

I theory you could also use a whitelist-approach. Write an open-source enclave-loader which initializes an enclave and then pulls in signed code into the enclave (from within) to execute. But in practice malware would just trick the user to add something to the whitelist. "Want to play this porn video? Just add our DRM!"

So really, just choose between owner-only-debuggability and no malware or DRM and malware. The choice is yours.
> My impression is that a lot of "mature" (aka boring old) companies like Angular 1 and the sound of Angular 2 over React.

React has been around for a while, but it is still only a library. Angular 1 and 2 are frameworks. Also Angular 2 is a complete rewrite and not even in final release. I'm not sure how that is boring or old.

As with Angular 1, Angular 2 aims to be opinionated, so it should be clearer how to do things than with React. Especially now with the move to components, Angular should be easier do more with, without as much confusion. And Angular 2 is much faster, if you do it right, which was one of the reasons Angular 1 was left for React.

React is fine for what it is. It's somewhat "matured" for a few years and is not a bad decision if you go with it.

I don't think that you should just jump on the latest JS bandwagon, but Angular 2 is more than just "for mature companies" and "similar to Java and C#".

Really, the only frustration we've had with Angular 2 so far has been that it has been changing so quickly, but it's starting to settle down now.
