According to this article (https://www.researchgate.net/publication/225376850_Compressi...), the compressive strength of a perfect diamond is, from the weakest direction, -223.1 GPa. The difference in pressure between atmospheric pressure and a vacuum averages 101 kPa at sea level.

Natural diamonds are not perfect, and manufacturing a large perfect diamond is probably very difficult, but I don't think it can be ruled out as impossible.

Trained in hard science. Most of the «lessons» are just about learning «math recipes» that are highly suspicious (like lambda calculus in pertubation theories) that works in one and only one case and avoiding the «generic methods» like Hamiltonians.

So basically most of my «scholarship» was about learning more than one way to do the same thing other and other again in up to 4 distinct notations (Einstein with 4D vectors), Nabla operators, quaternions ...)

Whereas working in labs was a total different story. It was basically «telescope building».

I learned computer programming for physicists and to be honest most of CS are pretty clueless about memory, and how to make flow of data kick computers in the balls.

So, I really think that even «hard» science as an heavy load of «apprenticeship» and that scholarship have an heavy load of fat vs muscle.

If we «optimized» training not to achieve a social status based on how much more years someone studied but based on what is required, the whole society would be improved.

So I stick to my gun, for me studies and their indirect cost of «non availability» on the market is excessive and every one (except banks and universities making an awesome lot of money out of it) are losing.

"ASK" is amplitude shift keying (shifting/changing between two amplitudes). In cheap transmitters (like the ones on keyfobs) one of the amplitudes commonly is "on", the other "off". This is morse, literally the first modulation ever invented to be used with radio waves.

Receivers for much more complicated modulation schemes have been built by amateurs for many decades, so I think in the case of analyzing the keyfobs' security SDRs were not a necessary tool.

But of course with the advent of cheap Rx and Tx capable SDRs the amount of people able to decode (and transmit) all kinds of modulated signal in all kinds of frequency bands has exploded, and for example my ability to quickly change from running a cell-tower to receiving satellites signals to decoding/analyzing/transmitting the keyfob radiwaves and unlocking a car is only one "./configure ; make" away, once I have acquired a sufficiently advanced SDR. No need to build, solder, tune, debug an electronic circuit tediously custom built for one application.

* Larger data mgt via something like handsontable

One thing. Paleo has nothing to do with Ketosis. While meat and vegetables are encouraged and are the basis of the paleo food pyramid, carbs like from sweet potatos, honey, vegetables with higher amount of carbs and nuts are considered paleo.

You can argue about what is paleo and what not, but carbs are considered totaly fine as long as they come from a good source.

So if you did paleo and ended up in ketosis you probably did something wrong in regards to the paleo idea.

Firstly, the Holometer is either inadequate [0] or discredited [1], take your pick. Hogan invents a theory, then invents the apparatus that 'tests' it, but there is no way a couple of 40m interferometers are probing the Planck scale. The paper [2] quotes 10^-18 m for a single interferometer, and implies 10^-23 m for both, which is about 12 orders of magnitude above the Planck scale.

Secondly, quantized space-time is a slightly separate issue from the Holographic Principle [3], you can have discreteness without holography, but there has been huge theoretical progress in these subjects in the last 5-10 years and a revolution is underway - see ER=EPR and all that [4], if you need more physics excitement.

iMessage's 'End-To-End' Encryption Hardly Better Than TLS
The paper is called "Dancing on the Lip of the Volcano: Chosen Ciphertext Attacks on Apple iMessage" by
Christina Garman, Matthew Green, Gabriel Kaptchuk, Ian Miers, and Michael Rushanan, Johns Hopkins University.

Abstract:

> Apple’s iMessage is one of the most widely-deployed end-to-end encrypted messaging protocols. Despite its broad deployment, the encryption protocols used by iMessage have never been subjected to rigorous cryptanalysis. In this paper, we conduct a thorough analysis of iMessage to determine the security of the protocol against a variety of attacks. Our analysis shows that iMessage has significant vulnerabilities that can be exploited by a sophisticated attacker. In particular, we outline a novel chosen ciphertext attack on Huffman compressed data, which allows retrospective decryption of some iMessage payloads in less than 218 queries. The practical implication of these attacks is that any party who gains access to iMessage ciphertexts may potentially decrypt them remotely and after the fact. We additionally describe mitigations that will prevent these attacks on the protocol, without breaking backwards compatibility. Apple has deployed our mitigations in the latest iOS and OS X releases.

Two hours, and I never liked that. I kept rooting for the technological overlords.
I kinda have to agree. But I also have to add, that it's actually the combination of fat and carbs.

As a vegan you are probably eating almost no fat and this is most likely the reason you lost weight. If you would start eating higher amounts of vegetable fats... maybe even some sugar (pure carbs) you will gain weight.
Which isn't true anyway.
While I agree that data munging is very important and very difficult, I disagree that it should be part of every course teaching any kind of data manipulation.

I took a course called data mining at university and it largely consisted of munging data.

Biased by that one course, I would expect anything called "data mining" to contain a lot of practice and theory about cleaning data and a machine learning course to focus on what to do with the cleaned data.

Third generation Gorilla Glass.

The predecessor to your phone, my Nexus 5, also contains Gorilla Glass 3, and yeah, I don't use a case, I don't use a screen protector, and there are no real scratches on the screen, and it has rode around in my pocket for over 2 years.
That's a hard question to answer since 1) it's been off and on for about a year and 2) I didn't start out with this idea.

The original idea for Hapibelly was to crowdsource popular menu items, using your mobile device as an interactive media-rich menu, voting on the menu items you like. It was done with just me as the designer. I created an entire backend that let's restaurants manage their menu, specials, and basic info.

My friend Sara helped me out with the updated look (https://www.behance.net/itssaramarshall). I have to give her a ton of credit for telling me letting me pick her brain and drafting a logo for me. I have another friend working on an Android clone.

The goal of this update was to keep all that in place and add more reason for people to download the app giving an aggregate score. The Hapibelly score became the main value add of this update. I spent more time gathering the data than on the app itself.

This update took me about 3-4 weeks. The first version about 3-4 months. Of course I have ideas for updates to make it more kick ass. With any luck I can pursue those ideas with a bit of funding!

The water loss is one thing I like about a low carb diet--you get positive feedback right away. It isn't real weight loss, but that doesn't matter. The point is to get started and feel like you have made progress in the right direction. Then the real, much slower, weight loss can begin.

I'll take this opportunity to point to the real history of SV:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZTC_RxWN_xo

Lecture by the Computer History Museum in Mountain View. The first half doesn't seem to be about SV at all - except that it is.

Bottom line: Huge spending on R&D during WWII (based mostly on debt, by the way) by government is the true foundation of SV, private capital only came in when the field had been prepared and fertilized.

I keep posting this video when the context seems appropriate because it was an eye opener for me who had a CS and a business education and had always thought SV was the proof of private capital's success.
So we're looking to an enforcement agency to make legal one of the very things that justifies its existence?
"The vast majority of the cost of any kind of infrastructure is labor, which scales with local wages."

I'm not sure that's true. Let's say it costs VeriCast $500/year to maintain a single home's landline and broadband connections (including the stuff in the street), for which they charge the customer say $700 per year. Do they really have one employee per 200 connections (assuming $100k full-loaded cost per employee)? That would be 500,000 employees in the USA, if 83% of households have broadband. That's about the total number of employees of ComCast, Verizon and AT&T. But those folks provide other services (like cellular service). Where is my math wrong?

Even we accept that it is true, it's not relevant, because the price paid by the customer is as much about the willingness of customers to pay, as it is about the running costs.

Even if we believe it's relevant, because the price customers are willing to pay vary with local incomes, experience tells us that local incomes don't tell us the whole story. People in London pay less for broadband (~$300 per year for phone and broadband, including taxes[0]) than those in San Francisco. I don't see how that is explained by labour costs.

Automation is necessary when you're talking about finding reviews for over 500K restaurants.

The best solution I can think of right now is 1) collecting valid professional review links from around the web 2) associating them with specific restaurants and 3) performing sentiment analysis to determine a rotten or fresh type rating.

These steps are straightforward and would not yield 100% accuracy. Even a 95% accuracy would be unfair to the few restaurants who's rating somehow gets messed up.
While I'm totally for drug (all drugs - not just cannabis) legalisation/regulation, I do think the "dangers" of marijuana have been really downplayed over the last few years.

I know a lot of people at university who got into smoking it very often and basically lost 10+ years of their life to complete apathy to anything. Some have now stopped and are totally different people - just 10 years behind.

While it doesn't cause overdose, cirrhosis or criminal activity from the user, it does become very addictive for some people and causes them to be extremely unmotivated in their life.

Is this as bad as heroin or crack? No obviously not, but a lot of people end up really trapped by it.

Just because one is considered "optimal", the other needn't be "impossible".

Bodyfat is tissue and so carries a certain cost to maintain. Why do so when all of a sudden a massive abundance of fatty acids is ingested on the daily. Plus: when you first near-eliminate carbs after decades of eating them, no amount of safe gluconeogenesis can keep up with the initially-still-high glucose demands of all tissues and mitochondria (until over time they "adapt" themselves to burn mostly/near-only fatty acids and/or ketones). This takes quite a while to complete to perfection, and the still-much-needed glucose can in the meantime be furnished by breaking down body-fat into triglycerides (no harm in doing that since so much fat is coming in already), turning two glycerin backbones into one glucose molecule, and keep the free fatty acids circulating or discard them.
That is one reason for sure, but there are also cultural reasons. e.g. romanian culture basically encourages overeating.
