It seems that Epstein is confused by different meanings of information and start to have ideas before doing sufficient research.

There is information theoretic information (data) and semantic information (meaning). Semantic information is called semantic content. An instance of information is understood to carry semantic content, if it consists of one or more data; the data is well-formed and the well-formed data is meaningful.

You can give semantical content degree of informativeness similar to entropy. For example tautology has zero degree of informativeness.

You need to process information if you want to process semantic meaning.

Interestingly, the "biodegradable" bags seem kind of scam-ish. Apparently the PLA (corn based) ones only break down in a "commercial" composting environment. According to this article, that means 10 days at some specific temperature (the article says "70 degrees" but no more).

http://www.smithsonianmag.com/science-nature/corn-plastic-to...

Only cottoned onto this personally, after noticing the "compostable" bags I'd been using to hold vegetable scraps... weren't compositing in the home compost bin even many months later (nearly a year now). :/
I think the fixed-size limitation is the least important thing in practice.

If your queue is filling up arbitrarily far, then you are almost certainly in trouble anyway, and want some limitation strategy. The ring buffer gives you this quite naturally.

I suppose there could be cases where you did not want to pre-commit to a buffer size. E.g. you have lots of queues which you expect to be short, but which might grow large in rare cases. But I have never actually seen such a case.
The boring truth is that the number of terrorist attacks is too small to draw significant conclusions from.

I would counter that being in the loop on everything adds a lot of noise and decreases your focus (because you have much more to look at) possibly making you less effective. Communication is hard.
I agree it's unlikely they are outright lying but it is possible some of those terrorist plans were instigated in sting operations. So it's not clear how many of them would have proceeded absent government involvement. This is similar to the US: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2014/jul/21/government-age...
People going outside, cooperating and communicating with one another is good for society. Sitting alone behind a screen and being enraged by the constantly negative media is bad for society.

I've traveled between London and Paris frequently. I found the visibility of fundamentalist muslims in the UK to be much higher than anywhere in France. The burka and niqab, for example, is not only illegal but even before being so it was extremely unpopular in France (I believe the estimate was ~200 for the entire country). Yet, walking around London and it's outskirts this was a common sight.

France has managed to avoid most islamic extremists by working closely with local mosques; by not treating them as the enemy but as a local resource. The extremists are spreading their views through the internet. They are not welcome in the mosque.

This Is How Nigerians Reacted When TechPlus Brought a Driverless Car to Lagos
I'm not the most informed person to explain this, so anyone else please feel free to correct me.

This paper is dealing with the computing process to be used (proposed) in highly parallel and distributed computing. Specifically how it manages and updates output data.

(warning: this is a not so great example of lock-free, wait free)
If you have experience with linux, you can only apt-get or yum install only once at a time, because there is a 'lock' which prevents you from installing multiple packages to prevent collisions in the system data which they modify.

In a similar vein, in parallel or distributed computing (read: many threads) computation, the threads required access to the same files in executing the algorithm.

So the ''stack" is the memory that is in use during a computation. When there is a lock on a particular sector, any programs cannot access it and have to wait for the thread currently modifying it before it makes changes, so that they don't corrupt it (mess up the data). This really is disadvantageous since you are not having the max utilization of parallel threads and threads are kept waiting. So a lock-free stack means that any threads don't have to wait for the lock to be removed before they can modify anything.

So how will this affect us? make parallel computing more efficient than it already is.

Your first point is actually something I really like about Python's API design: in general, methods operating on collections either mutate the collection /or/ they return it. So it's clear at the point of use whether you're dealing with the same object or a new one.

This is something that bugs me about the fluent builder pattern in Java -- continuing to return `this` until suddenly you don't any more, and you can't re-use 'intermediate' values because they're actually all the same object.

A commenter pointed out that one or two of these images appear to be photoshopped, most likely mock ups of a scene that the artist intended to create. The commenter took a lot of heat, but does appear to be correct. The fifth-to-last image (the before) and fourth-to-last (the after) show it pretty clearly if you check out the clouds.
I'm not sure I see what's novel about this - maybe it's a verbiage thing around "wait free," but if they're atomically updating the top pointer and linked list, there will be lock contention on writes, and similarly when marking an item popped, on reads. I suppose the contention is bounded by the number of readers or writers, but I wouldn't consider that wait free (again, that could just be a verbiage thing). But, more to the point, this is just a slight twist on how Kafka works (stack vs log / queue, but same with the pointer holding place and a cleanup operation), I don't really see it as particularly novel...perhaps I'm missing something?

Harvard Adult ADHD Screener Test [pdf]
True, I hadn't thought of that!
Why is your scenario more realistic than the ones I suggested?

If we were to automate all work so the only people who had to work were the ones running the machines, those people would effectively be the state. Everyone else would depend on those people. They would be untouchable, if for no other reason than that, if they were eliminated, the machines would fall into disrepair, and everyone who depended on them would die.

It would be like a future version of MAD: kill the machine keepers, and everyone dies--except not MAD, because the machine keepers would have no need for everyone else. So it would be more like a future where only one nation had nuclear weapons, and they were second-strike capable: they can freely eliminate their enemies without repercussion, because anyone who attacks them is guaranteed to be destroyed by nuclear weapons.

The only ways, then, to keep those people maintaining the machines would be altruism or threat of violence. Altruism isn't reliable, and what good is threat of violence if they can program the machines to protect them and eliminate their enemies?

So it seems to me that the only hope is for the machinekeeping to be as widely distributed as possible. Maybe 3D printers will lead to self-replicating machines and a world where everyone is a machinekeeper. But I have serious doubts, because I don't see how even a self-replicating 3D printer could cover the whole chain of gathering and processing raw materials. I could imagine a distant future where all the natural mines are exhausted, and fortresses are built around old landfills, the only remaining source of raw materials for the machines.

Not in our lifetimes, though! :D
I'm no hedge fund expert, especially ones based out of Canada, but I think it's based on the fee structure. Hedge funds typically get 2% AUM and 20% of the return. I don't see any reason to think that isn't the case.

Those funds make sense to me for a real estate focused hedge fund that is primarily used in retirement accounts.

Do premium phone numbers have any remaining legitimate use? The last time I remember hearing about them was in the context of a callback scam, where scammers would call and hang up after one ring so that people would call the caller ID numbers. Actual pay-per-minute phone services seem like a rare special case that would be better served by having people type credit card numbers into the line with their dialpad.
Of course, but shooting attacks have been a major component of terrorism in Europe (Paris, Charlie Hebdo, Brussels Jewish Museum, etc). I have to also point out that it's still not clear at this time whether Nice was a terrorist attack.

The UK may be better protected against "truck amuck" incidents as we had so many IRA car and truck bombs. Risers and bollards are very common around public spaces (and also, we don't have the luxury of miles of riviera beach front...). For example a ramming attack at Glasgow airport in 2007 was prevented by bollards.

As for bombs, I certainly hope someone buying the ingredients in the UK would immediately draw police attention.

Maybe we are going in circles. I perceived your original comment to place the blame on African-American culture (nonsense about "broken families" e.g.). Yes, hiring Africans into predominantly European-American companies produces one sort of diversity there, and it's a good one, but hiring African-Americans and Latino-Americans produces a different (also desirable) diversity, which does arguably more good in our traditionally less-privileged communities by getting more parents employed in good jobs and seeing real opportunities ahead for the kids in school to strive for.

Even in this comment I'd debate the term "low-achieving." There are many high-achieving African-Americans, and the automatic association of race/culture with low achievement is a problem.
With focused, deliberate practice, I'm hoping I crack the electric guitar in 5001. :) But seriously, I know it's the journey that's more important - the heuristic really does give me confidence when I look at where I am and where I want to be.
Intelligence sharing is a good idea, but the Nice attacker appears to have been an individual with mental health issues and no known fundamentalist tendencies.

His family and associates probably knew something was wrong with him; he threatened his ex and was violence prone at times. Unfortunately, there's not a lot you can do, especially in a free society, unless the person runs afoul of the law. If they stay out of trouble, they can plan horrific attacks at a time of their choosing.

The only thing I can think of is to have more available mental health services including residential treatment facilities, and make it easier for concerned families to get someone the help he needs before a tragedy occurs. Probably in an immigrant community, there's the shame factor to deal with as well; so discretion and confidentiality would be highly important.

Beyond that, France and other countries taking in large numbers of immigrants and asylum seekers from troubled regions need to obviously limit the numbers and scrutinize each applicant more carefully. Easier said than done, but they have to try.

No. What I AM saying is that it is uncommon for the results from yahoo to be censored. Implementing the kind of censorship checks that RMS suggests is impractical and ridiculous, given the present limitations of our hardware, and the expectation of fast response.

I am NOT saying that we shouldn't be concerned about censorship. Censorship is an important issue. But the kind of anti-censorship measures that RMS recommends are imparactical and absurd. This is what I meant when I said that RMS all to often puts principles before practicality.
Did Pokémon Go Just Destroy Foursquare?
I used a port of the rc shell for linux as my login shell for a couple of months. I switched back to zsh eventually because rc doesn't have job control and autocompletion. The autocompletion wasn't that big an issue because it can use readline for history completion, and it can be configured so that when you type the start of a command and hit up arrow it will find the last command that started with what you typed. This can be replicated for zsh and bash, and it's arguably as good as autocompletion. I found no convinient work-around for the lack of job control, other than starting a new terminal.

How is rc better than bash or zsh? I've read the bash man pages and I couldn't figure out exactly how bash expands commands before executing them. Every time the shell see's an unquoted variable name (e.g. $foo) it will do word splitting, which is why you have to write "$foo" instead, or "${foo}bar" to distinguish "$foo" from "$foobar", etc. Add history and filename expansion and command substitution, weird syntax for control statements...

The best feature of rc is that word splitting and globbing happens once, and it results in a list of strings. There is no longer a need to quote variables all the time. No need to use filenames without spaces.

Here's what bash does:

$ files=*; echo "$files"; echo $files
*
file1.txt file2.txt file3.txt
$ # echo $files -> echo * -> file1.txt file2.txt file3.txt

Here's what rc does:

$ files=*; echo $files
file1.txt file2.txt file3.txt
$ # files=(file1.txt file2.txt file3.txt)
$ # echo $files -> echo file1.txt file2.txt file3.txt

It's similar to the situation for dynamic vs lexical scope.

Scheme and Haskell have other primitives that take the place of while and goto.

But yes, using more expressive match types or parameters is a good idea. As for providing the result as an argument, that can be a good pattern, but isn't always practical. Note what I said in my original comment about using your own discretion.

Would you be the first to volunteer to have your car sacrifice you to save other people's lives? Of course they should not kill the driver, but an alternative shouldn't be to plow into a crowd or another car. My guess is the algorithm can simply be coded to minimize damage and death as best as we can do, and the robot will see it that way, not as "sacrifice the driver to save other people", and hopefully the law will see it that way too.
