Does Loeb address whether there would have been oxygen and carbon 10-17 million years after the Big Bang?

For what it's worth, the UUID RFC actually has a provision for using random bits instead of the MAC address in a version 1 UUID [ref], which results in a similar, but incompatible structure as to what's proposed here.

I'm not sure what this new, incompatible format buys over that one, other than a different allocation of bits between the time and random fields.

The abstract, if you rearrange it and remove some of the jargon, is actually pretty comprehensible (to me, at least).

> Searchable Symmetric Encryption aims at making possible searching over an encrypted database stored on an untrusted server while keeping privacy of both the queries and the data… This work proposes [a new, more efficient technique], which does not leak [whether or not] a newly inserted element matches previous search queries.

Further TL;DR: a way to put an encrypted dataset on an untrusted server such that it can be efficiently searched without the server knowing the decryption key or even the search query. Queries cannot be rerun after more data is added (which would otherwise leak information about the encrypted dataset and/or encrypted query).

Exactly. I actually used Quicken in my startup's early days. Naively. And fortuitously. Even after we switched to real accounting software, I would focus first and mostly on the cash flow statement and similar metrics.

Many things might someday be cash -- an invoiced sale, an A/R balance, an investment term sheet. Or they might not. Meanwhile they're only promises or futures -- worth nothing if the company abends due to a SIGKILL. A small business is very much an exercise in blocking I/O. :)

As soon as I read the article too I wanted to check if the NYT is owned by private equity. According to wikipedia, it's both part publicly traded on the NYSE and privately owned: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_New_York_Times_Company. I wouldn't know where to find out how much of the company is privately owned and publicly traded, though. But spot on, it's a publicity piece (and you've played your part by clicking). But I think most would see that by the presentation. Was still entertaining though.

Also it is important to realize that a lot of private entities like have money for lobbyists and they use them very well. For example, they might "bribe" an official in charge of budget to cut the budget for schools in a certain area, if the PE happens to own and manage charter schools.

School doesn't have money, is struggling. PE lobby firm issues a few press releases pointing out what a failure public schools are. Then another press release about how there is a way out -- go to their schools, and so on.

Or if they happen to lease land and run an tolled expressway, they might lobby local government against expanding or improving local roads, because it means a but in the profits for them, and so on.

The cheapest and most effective way to profits is to often to do just that -- lobbying and regulatory capture. That is what's scary with privatizing everything.

You're not wrong. Where proper socialism seeks to supplant capitalism (and property law) through the power of the state, social democracy instead seeks to exist within the basic capitalistic framework while attempting to curbe its perceived social injustices through state intervention into the market economy and provisioning of social welfare services.

In some respect it's a compromise; mostly in that many of Europe's social democrats emerged from discredited hard core socialist parties. American social democrats, on the other hand, emerged out of a split with liberalism and ironically kept the name.

The distinction is important though. Social democracy in practice translates to simple fiscal policy. Actual socialism would imply a complete overthrow of our judicial and legislative systems.

Django 1.10 Released
I have a moral objection to the government using mechanized algorithms for e.g. sentencing, because the government is (or ought to be) accountable to the public, and must be able to justify all actions. Proprietary algorithms are particularly odious, because it is impossible to "justify" a decision even in the sense of tracing how the algorithm got to that point.

On the other hand, private individuals ought not to be accountable to anyone for their decisions (unless they contractually agreed to be), so I have no issue with e.g. a bank making loan decisions with a computer. After all, if the bank's algorithm is innacurate, this actually hurts their bottom line (because they either deny good customers or accept bad customers), so there is a strong incentive to have good algorithms. On the other hand, no such incentive exists for e.g. sentencing.
What could you possibly be doing that you need those things within a Django app? If you're placing CPU-intensive and scientific code directly into your web app backend, I'd rethink your architecture before you consider switching languages.
Well, unless you're the guy the government sells the monopoly to. Then it's a fantastic idea.

No, marketing machines need something to market; you can't sell pieces of shit to people no matter how many ads you run.

Over-estimating the power of marketing is a time-honored tradition among developers and engineers. Ironically, they also tend to view marketers as clods without any real skills. Weird divergence there. But I digress.

What is the marketing message of the Olympics? That the world's best athletes are competing against each other. If that is obviously and demonstrably not true, then the marketing fails. Contrary to popular belief, customers actually are not bad at sniffing out BS in their preferred products.
I don't understand your reply. If the businesses are in a completely different realm, how is it of any use to know that it works fine for restaurants? How can that possibly serve as an argument for completely different businesses (when it's not even clear they should be businesses, but no need to argue about that). Where is the argument "something like this works in a completely different context" a valid argument?

Sure, if we could ban all guns, like South Korea, it would work. No more guns. No more crimes committed by guns.

The only problem with this solution is: It will never happen in America. The 2nd Amendment protects against this. And the 2nd Amendment WILL be exercise should the government try to ban the 2nd Amendment.

Unlike the other Amendments that rely on the 2nd Amendment to protect them, the 2nd Amendment protects itself.

NewStore | Berlin | http://www.newstore.com | full-time | (VISA)

At NewStore, we’re building a mobile retail platform that allows enables rapid order fulfillment and boosts mobile conversion. We orchestrate a variety of actors and systems to enable things like same-day-delivery for our customers.

The platform runs on a variety of microservices, written in Python and Go. We build and maintain two mobile apps, one native (Swift/ObjC), one based on React Native (ES6, Redux), as well as an Angular-based web app.

We have several engineering teams whose skills usually span all of the above areas to be able to work on entire features independently. We care a lot about QA, TDD and writing meaningful and effective tests. We aim to empower individuals and give them responsibility and the ability to make technical decisions.

In addition to pure engineering roles, we're looking for scrum masters, technical writers and more.
Our founder is Stephan Schambach, founder of Intershop and Demandware (both of which he led to IPO). We’re well-funded and newly launched, so it’s a great time to join. We’ve got a good agile dev process and engineering infrastructure established, but there’s still lots of opportunity to make a difference!

Our office is in a beautiful historic power plant right by the Spree river in downtown Berlin. We foster continuing education, travel between the NewStore offices (including the one in the US), and we offer tasty, catered lunches three days a week.

Our interview process typically consists of a phone screen, a technical phone interview, and an extended on-site technical interview.

I haven't looked closely at the full construction, but it's fairly similar to an earlier paper by Cash et al. (https://eprint.iacr.org/2014/853) which is surprisingly practical - their system can do keyword searches on the entire English Wikipedia in just a couple seconds.

In terms of security, things are a bit more complicated. The last ~year has seen a couple papers (https://eprint.iacr.org/2016/718 and https://eprint.iacr.org/2016/172) that demonstrate damaging and practical attacks against most SSE constructions. It's really not clear how secure any SSE scheme is in practice, or whether there is a sensible model in which SSE can be both secure and efficient enough for practical use.

I wasn't sure what to think of that comment either when I first read it, but I sort of see where he is coming from. One side you have companies like Oracle, Microsoft, and IBM types that actually develop new forms of technology and sell the technology to people. Then there are companies that leverage technology in other industries to "disrupt" like OpenTable, Uber, and AirBnB. Then there are companies like Google and Facebook that straddle that line. They've developed and contributed back huge advances in technology, they mostly make their money from another industry, but also sell some tech in certain areas (mostly Google).
