First of all: This is cool!

Can this be automated? That would be really sweet.

There is an xkcd[1] comic where instead of captchas, users have to supply valuable insights, thus solving the problem of trolls once and for all.

Apple's App Store has always been an antitrust violation waiting to happen.

and by happen, I mean filed in a court.

There is nothing "applied equally" to other developers. Onlookers will say developers agreed to the contract, so no sympathy, a Federal Judge on the other hand will rip that contract to shreds and take a dim view on Apple's practices.

And no, Google Play's robo rejector isn't exempt.

As far as I've read and understand, Apple isn't preventing Amazon from releasing a video streaming app on the AppleTV. Amazon is the one that has been playing hard ball, removing other streaming devices from their store and not releasing a video app (just like they have on iOS) for AppleTV.

edit: I should add that I believe the reason Amazon isn't releasing on AppleTV is that Apple won't allow people to subscribe for Prime via the App without requiring their 30% cut. All the other streaming services (and there are dozens if not hundreds) on AppleTV require users to subscribe via means outside of the AppleTV app itself.
Basically, two equal level participants should result in a Nash Equilibrium?

No, whether you have a Nash equilibrium depends on the strategies used, you can always have agents following strategies that aren't a Nash equilibrium independent of their relative strengths.

The problem they solved is that agents were unable to reason about themselves - what will my opponent do? He is just like me so he will ask himself what will my opponent - that is me - do. But I will of course try to figure out what my opponent will do but he is just like me and so he will... Simplified of course, but here you have some infinite regress from which you have to break free. The solution they came up with and analyzed is to just pick an arbitrary, possibly randomized answer in certain situations.
haha - hadn't seen that one, but it's totally what I was going for!

Stated platform != Voting record

Of course even if you required people to know a politician's voting record before voting for them, politicians would find some way to game the system.
Undefined behavior does not enable optimizations. Rather, the compiler may conclude that something must be true, because the alternative would be undefined behavior. Then, it may make optimization decisions based on that thing being true, causing potentially mysterious errors if, in fact, that thing is not true because the programmer made a mistake.

It's also possible you're confusing undefined behavior with implementation defined behavior.
I'm inclined to agree that there's no expectation of having your IP be secret even when using Tor, but there's an expectation of not having other people run code on your computer. The judge considered this distinction and rejected it.

The IP not being secret is supported by precedent from other cases, it seems reasonable that if the government can trace it back without hacking the computer it should be fine.
i think the problem comes if they put out a lower bound that is way too low, then there is no way for them to accept a much higher salary without looking stupid, so they wont.
thanks! i'll see what i can do - file issues if you've got more ideas/suggestions!

I think the reason everyone assumed that was because that was the general consensus. The idea that the EU and UK can't negotiate new trading terms until after the 2 years is up seems to be something the European Commission pulled out their ass in the last day or so.
Personally I'm not indifferent about any of this; it's very worrying, but I usually just have no idea what to say that contributes. So I, like most people I assume, prefer to lurk rather than to be vocal and emotional about what's going on.

Besides all of that, the older I get, the more I realise the following two things: #1 that we're entirely in the dark ages of technology (and science to a lesser extent), regardless of the technology we have acquired, because society, governance and the public discourses all seem so very crude - we don't know how to handle our newly found powers and dogmas are still very existent: they've just moved from religion to science and technology; and #2: that the entire ordeal we find ourselves in is wholly inevitable, and, for the most part, much less important than it appears to be, perhaps even insignificant in the grand scheme of things. I don't believe that there is going to be a global doom scenario, or at least, not more than medieval witch hunts and the rise (and 'fall' of sorts) of the Roman Catholic power and influence structure.

Historically speaking I'm inclined to think that the only element of humanity that survives everything that's happened, is human bonding and the forming of relationships and communities. In Roman Catholic wording, I'd say that everything else is a lot more temporal, and also very volatile and subject to change. If that comes across as indifference, so be it.

But that's just how I see things now, so feel free to poke holes in my theory.
It's not about killing people, an attack on the airport is a higher profile attack regardless of how many casualties it involved.

Attack on the airport also targets people who aren't native, often westerners which is both what these organizations often want and it ensures that it would much more widely reported than "a bus blew up in north eastern turkey" which maybe will get a headline for 2 hours.

Attack on an airport tells people see you aren't safe anywhere your "most secure" location with all that security isn't safe, we can get you anywhere any time, this helps to spread the fear both within the country and world wide.

Attack on an airport immediately triggers security lockdowns world wide which amplifies the financial cost of the attack globally.

Terrorism is often considerably more calculated than what people think, especially when it comes to high profile attacks.

Companies should rather post diffs, not "we updated the policy".[1] I don't intend to spend my time to go through myself, it's hard enough for one company, not a myriad of services we use nowadays.

But I guess this is a nasty way to implement some unpopular policies, then point the finger at the user stating he complied to it.

Amazon is the one who chooses to block access on a wide range of media players (Chromecast, Apple TV, etc), in order to try to push their Fire TV platform.

We are Amazon Prime subscribers, and I wouldn't mind this a bit if I didn't have to either use an arcane interface on my BluRay player, or buy a separate dedicated media play in order to watch Amazon content.

92 people per day isn't "uncommon". It might be statistically improbable, but that's not what uncommon means. It's a regular, daily occurrence for 92 real human lives every day.
- Yeah, practice is definitely not the same, but depending on the domain, it's usually at least a lot better than nothing, even if the real thing is a lot better than practice. (To speak to your example, at least in wartime, peacetime militaries don't have to worry about reteaching their soldiers EVERYTHING. Maybe they've never been in real combat, but at least they can consistently shoot at a target. That's better than not being able to do that either.)

- I mean, it depends on the specific case, right? Obviously that's true in this example. You can also come up with opposing examples. I also misspoke a bit -- even if the automation cost savings are free and you're strictly better off with it than without it, adding some practice for human operators may get you even more savings, and it's often overlooked.

My point is just that practice/drilling can be a useful tool in the toolbox. It depends on the situation, but it shouldn't be ignored.

It's a trade off. If you anchor high you're saving yourself time from the majority of companies that try to underpay you. If you don't anchor, you risk getting your time wasted but eliminate the risk not knowing what you're worth.

If you are a highly in-demand, already highly-paid developer, it is likely in your best interest to anchor high. If you are a junior level and trying to get a middle-level role, it's probably better to not anchor.
It seems like you'd just increase the volume of spam and tell your spambots to always vote "Constructive". If you release more spam than legitimate users send messages, you'll break through regardless of how they vote. You could even have your spambots downvote the real users, since they'd be displacing your precious viagra ads.
As a customer, that is literally of no concern to me. I'm not taking a position on who is right or wrong. I don't care who did what and to who, the only thing that matters to me is how my service(s) are interrupted. As the customer, I will first choose the provider that I perceive as providing me with greater benefit and then remove any resistance to that provider services. Anything outside of the equation ultimately doesn't matter and therefore won't enter into my individual purchasing power.

In my experience, you just can't work productively for that long every day. Can I ask why you're trying to work so much? What's the actual end goal here?
They're already sort of doing that on x86-64 but keeping it in there if you need it. I'm particularly going to miss segmentation as it's phased out as it was used in prior, high-security work plus some current work. Example below:

http://dslab.epfl.ch/proj/cpi/

In prior comment, I illustrate with Hardbound they can do a lot more than this. It remains compatible at source-level with x86 apps with good performance while enforcing spatial safety. I could imagine a split version where certain components, esp binaries, run totally unsafe just for compatibility while it enforces safety on whatever you can compile. Alternatively, people wanting backward compatibility with no source could run with safety off whereas anyone (or vendor) with source could compile a version that works. Even the binary stuff might be isolated a bit with techniques that decompile, instrument, and recompile the binaries. Or separate, assembly-level methods.

So, Intel could do a lot more than it's doing without totally scrapping backward compatibility or performance. They just... don't. I think they're afraid of loosing billions again or just don't know about the stuff I'm mentioning. Or both. (shrugs) Love to talk to them about it sometime.
You're proposing aristocracy, that would be a big step backwards. I think there are far better ways to inform people about their choices and give them the power to decide who they want to be represented by. In any case, we should make voting easier for people, not harder.
The speed of light through fiber is about 1/3rd slower than air, this makes the biggest impact to latency over distance. This is why microwave radio is sometimes used where speed is more essential than bandwidth, for example companies have established microwave radio links between Chicago and New York for trading for this reason.

New advances such as hollow core fiber might change this equation, because from a simple perspective, they essentially act like hollow wave guides that AT&T long lines was once building to carry microwave radio in tubes across the country (making them impervious to atmospheric issues, etc). I don't know too much about the practicality of using this kind of technology yet over global distances.

Another thing to watch for of course is SpaceX's plans to build a constellation of 4000+ communication satellites. They will be using "free space" like optics. Essentially in space you know where everything is, you don't need to use radio, you can point lasers between all your satellites and use tracking to keep them aligned. This provides huge bandwidth for them when you consider all the multiple paths between the 4000+ satellites. Plus because its traveling at the speed of light it will be ~50% faster than packets traveling through submarine cables. This might end up being the winning solution for reducing latency in global distances IMO.

Says the guy using a free gmail.com email address.
From page 46:

> However, the Court FINDS that any such subjective expectation of privacy - if one even existed in this case - is not objectively reasonable. SA Alfin testified that when a user connects to the Tor network, he or she must disclose his or her real IP address to the first Tor node with which he or she connects. This fact, coupled with the Tor Project's own warning that the first server can see "[t]his IP address is using Tor," destroys any expectation of privacy in a Tor user's IP address.

I strongly disagree with this conclusion: the only logical conclusion one can make is that the defendant didn't have a reasonable expectation of privacy of he or she participating in the Tor network. But Tor doesn't anonymize users by magically hiding IP addresses but by making the actual origin of a request unknowable. Tor users do have a reasonable expectation of privacy of their IP addresses not being disclosed as the actual origin of some communication.

So no, in my opinion the court decision is not reasonable at all. And by the way, I find the analogy of Tor anonymizing users by "masking" IP addresses, problematic, at least.
> one shouldn't rely on a third party when it's all over the network and you have no local copy of the code to potentially operate for longer than officially supported
