I think you're right, this blogger is focusing their attention on this CA.

Even though you're probably correct, it's irrelevant. Every CA should be able to stand up to whatever scrutiny people choose to put them under. Just because this person is not targeting all of them does not make what he finds LESS valid.

If he's making stuff up, then yeah, that's obviously it's a problem.

I used this site to check wind conditions during the 2015 Tianjin explosions. I was 90 miles away (Beijing) and was considering leaving the country had wind been blowing in the wrong direction. At the time the risk of the hazardous chemicals released by the explosions was completely unknown, so wind conditions were the only objective piece of information I could base my decision on. Fortunately the wind was blowing north/east.

I think it remains to be seen whether the Vancouver tax changes have worked. There's been a bit of a slowdown in sales, but that could just be investors taking a brief pause to evaluate the new situation.
> The AI isn’t used to directly grade the papers; rather, it turns grading into an automated, highly repeatable exercise by learning to identify and group answers, and thus treat them as batches.

It seems like the AI is identifying equivalent answers among respondents. So if you mark an answer correct on one test, every other test with the same answer will be marked correct.
I worked for a small competitor of this product in college and we had a lot of trouble with this problem, especially with answers that were prone to spelling mistakes, or could be written in many ways. Kudos to them for doing this well.

Another fun bit of AI in this space is in identifying where the answer key might have made a mistake. We developed some algorithms for determining the most likely answer to a problem given the responses. We never released it but I worked on a tool that would grade tests without an answer key at all. Using 50 question tests in a few freshman physics classes I was able to get the right answer a little over 97% of the time.
They can pick a bit or two per page to attack, but then they're stuck with those bits.

In theory they could attack a new bit every few minutes, but that requires a system that allows the victim page to be remapped multiple times. KSM does not; any other memory-merging system could work the same way to mitigate things.

Even if they could keep remapping, it's a very slow attack that way. Reloading the checksum every ten minutes would keep you safe.

Yes, subscriptions to content that can be access through an iOS app aren't required to go through Apple (so long as they are purchased outside of the app), in which case Apple won't take a cut.

Note that this is purely down to Apple allowing it — there's nothing stopping Apple from disallowing apps that do this, but to do so wouldn't be in Apple's interests.

Also, the TV licence is officially a tax. Not that that really changes anything. Apple could still chuck BBC iPlayer off the App Store if they really wanted to, but they'd be crazy to do so.

Tap #2 is bad enough.

I'm a relatively-infrequent Apple user who signed up for HBO Now when it first came out and you had to sign up exclusively via an iPhone App. As it turned out, you could use the credentials obtained from that signup to sign in with any web browser and stream content. You didn't need to use the app itself.

Apple was literally just handling payments and subscriptions for HBO Now, exclusively, for 3 months.

Imagine my frustration at trying to find out when my subscription was set to renew. Why am I supposed to know that iTunes and App Store settings is where I should look for anything to do with a subscription for something that isn't visibly tied to either iTunes or the App Store?

Taps #3 and #4 are truly banana-pants insane though.

> people who use the internet who don't care about https, much less know what it is.

While I agree, I do not believe this is an appropriate excuse for ignorance (I am not accusing you of anything, just criticizing the viewpoint itself).

Computers are part of life. People know about antibiotics, vaccine, stem cells, black holes, and they know atomic radiation causes cancer and the same material can be used for atomic bombs, about wavelengths, and certain ones (UV) cause cancer by breaking DNA, etc.

But, not technology? How is there such a well-formed ignorance when it comes to technology? It's fed to us by the media too, who cite "computer glitches"[1,2,3] when something goes wrong, or when there is a breach of the system and all credentials stolen.

And, not understanding URLs leads to susceptibility to information being stolen from phishing attacks. Whose "fault" is there here?

I had a similar experience with elote, and now I'm a hopeless addict. Street food is often the best food that you don't cook yourself, or get at a serious restaurant with a fat bill. You get to see some interesting concepts come to life, and then take root in brick and mortar locations too, and it's always good to have a new pathway for restaurants to follow that depends on good food and word of mouth.

In stellar terms, tiny. In human terms, huge.

Googling suggests that global energy usage is estimated to be around 15 terawatts.

Using the most efficient multi-junction solar cells available - which can convert 30% of the light hitting them into electricity - we could generate that with about 6.5 million km² of solar panels: that's about 80% of Australia.

Out at Earth's orbit, it'd need to be 68 million km^2: about the area of the Indian Ocean.
> Why is it stupid to invest $5k in a startup but not to invest $500k in a startup?

Because if you invest $500k, you get information rights, and a significant number of votes. If you invest $5k, you get nothing, and you just have to hope the company makes good decisions. It's like buying a $5k lottery ticket -- it's an investment based entirely on trust without any information, accountability, or influence over the outcome.

I suspect that the real reason companies want to crowdfund is to raise money without giving information and voting rights to their investors.

>Others (Vancouver) see inverted traffic patterns as more professionals (carps etc) drive into residential neighborhoods to work on houses than residents drive out. Suburbs are now industrial zones, places where people go to work. Anyone who can afford to live in the suburb, in a detached house, can live on investments alone.

Do you have a source that more people are driving from the Vancouver core out than in?

I wouldn't describe Vancouver this way. The region was planned to have many regional centres, so that there is no mass migration from the 'burbs into the downtown. Instead people live and work everywhere.

There are more people working in downtown Vancouver than ever before, but traffic volumes in have been unchanged since the 60s. This is possible because of public transit and massive increases in the amount of residential density in downtown enabling people to walk to work.
>Syncrude says their tar sand surface mining operations (the most extensive form of oil mining in wide practice) kill 2.5 birds/PJ.

That seems way too low. I feel like I've read about huge bird kills from migratory birds landing in the containment ponds.

I definitely agree with getting value from books about companies/people you admire. I think it's more memorable to read about real people's actions and lifestyles as opposed to reading "how-to" or "self-help" books, though I read those too and have received value from them as well.

Here are some books I'd recommend in the former vein:

1. Elon Musk - as mentioned, awesome, inspiring read

2. Creativity, Inc. - Ed Catmull's story of Pixar

3. Masters of Doom - Carmack is a boss

4. The Innovators - The people who created the computing world

5. Hackers - The people who created the computing world

6. Steve Jobs - obligatory, whether positive/negative

Well, the honey bees are an invasive/domesticated species that goes feral a lot, so the above is a bit like worrying about a bunch of pigs getting killed including "wild" boars.

It is a tax affair. That is very clear. I don't know how there is another way to see it.

Read about what Ireland gave Apple.

They didn't give them cash, unless I misunderstand that. They gave Apple a tax deal, and the EU has no control over tax affairs of its member states.

It really is quite simple.
"Foreigners [not permanent residents] who buy residential property in the Vancouver area will have to pay an extra 15-per-cent tax as part of a B.C. government plan to slow the foreign speculation that many blame for making the region’s homes the most unaffordable in Canada."

The tax is new and was enacted just before August so the impacts are still uncertain.

Since you mention 10,000,000 people, you are confusing Los Angeles County with the City of Los Angeles. There may be 5 County Supervisors, but the city has a mayor and 15 council members. The other cities (Burbank, Santa Clarita, Glendale, Long Beach, etc.) also have their own mayors and city councils and whatnot.
They have no queen.
There are a number of similar sites (wefunder was YC, and Angellist dominates the space).

We shouldn't treat the "public at large" like kids, and they have the right to do what they want with their money.

HOWEVER, I do hope that people don't get hopped up on TechCrunch stories about gazillion dollar exits and then cash out their 401k to invest in some company or another.

They should know that the vast majority of startups fail, and that the chances are any particular one will fail. They should also understand that it isn't worth the due diligence for $100 or something, so you're really taking a flier unless you piggyback off someone else's diligence (which you should).

The situation is complicated. There actually is no "EU tax"--each member of the EU sets its own tax policy. This is similar to state tax regimes in the United States, and it creates a similar situation: some EU countries compete for business revenue by trying to make their tax systems kind to business.

Ireland, a little nation on an island far away from the rest of the EU, has decided that they will attract businesses by offering very low tax rates. Apple obliged them and based their European business in Ireland.

BUT, the EU requires that each member nation "play fair" in how it subsidizes national businesses. The kerfluffle over Apple's Irish tax bill is because the EU competitiveness committee has ruled that Ireland's low taxes are equivalent to an unfair subsidy. But the key point is that it is Ireland's rate, which is why Ireland is also fighting the EU ruling. If they can't have lower-than-average business tax rates, they might have a harder-than-average time attracting businesses.

U.S. federal taxes apply to ALL U.S.-based businesses, and apply to their global business (unlike every other national tax regime in the world). So--since Apple is a U.S.-based business, they cannot avoid federal taxes if they bring profits home the U.S.

Apple cannot realistically expect to get more than a marginal improvement in the U.S. federal rate, because there is not competition with the federal government for setting that rate. So they store their profits outside the U.S., hoping the rate goes down in the future.
