Several years before this publication, Ernesto Illy had an article in Scientific American: http://www.scientificamerican.com/article/the-complexity-of-...

The article is funny in one respect: SciAm is pretty strict against anything remotely resembling corporate PR disguised as science reporting. However, it was such a good article, and most of the science community is so caffeine addicted, that the editors gave him a pass.
Are you merely trying to see if I understand the concept of a external benefits or genuinely trying know what possible external benefit there could be with someone being provided a subsidized education?

I'm trying to know what external benefits you think exist and why you think they are uniform across all fields of study, which is a much stronger claim that you made. I cannot think of any such benefits.

E.g., one might hypothesize that people in college develop useful skills that benefit others in a manner they cannot capture as wages. But it's a little crazy to suggest that a women's studies major develops those skills to the same degree as a nurse.
> While not deliberately concealing his identity, the flâneur preferred to stroll incognito.

...

> However, anyone entertaining such dreams of the Internet as a refuge for the bohemian, the hedonistic and the idiosyncratic probably didn’t know the reasons behind the disappearance of the original flâneur.

If the flâneur is operating incognito ... how the hell can you be sure he is actually gone? Maybe he just upped his flâneurism game and dropped off your flâneuradar.

People do still just surf the web instead of trying to only get stuff done---that's how we get interesting submissions on HN and why we are here to rummage through them.

Twenty years ago I might have surfed the web for fun, but picked up the phone to get stuff done; now I can just use the Internet for most of that latter thing too.

The kinds of ads Ad Block Plus allows will be interesting. With the push for analytics, enabling any ads may allow some crafty shnooks to manipulate the system and figure out your personal interests. It's fine to tell a person directly what you want, but it's annoying when they spy on you all the time. That said, I agree that advertising is a good thing, just that marketing has focused too much on direct advertising and less and actually being accommodating. This article showed up on HN not too long ago, but it's still worth reading twice:

> to the academic classes

The academic dream is that everyone deserves the same education. This is obviously not a reality, but you should at least acknowledge the middle ground is disliked by the "academic class" and the "non-academic class" alike: it's expensive as hell and we still have idiots running the world.
I think std means standard collections, not custom ("special" case) collection library. People may look for this kind of specialization in outside std or create their own library. Or you could start be the first one who create this extended collection std.. CMIIW

One way to break such a stalemate is to increase your empathy to the point you become the psychiatrist and the other party the patient.

Here he could debase Her argument as being a manifestation of an obsessive compulsive disorder. If she agrees to that "diagnosis" just a little, he might be able to move to a kill by proposing that the socks remain on the floor as a form of therapy that will help Her treat her overwhelmingly obsessive behavior.
On second thought, I do want references. I thoroughly enjoy watching you and other cryptographers arguing on HN. Especially when the topic of DNSSEC comes up.
Non-salaried jobs are not stable, it's not about "good"ness. If you want to provide, find a salaried job. If you want to weather recessions, find a salaried job. If you want to have a career as opposed to a job, start with a salaried position and work your way up.

At least this is how I was raised. I don't think I have an opinion myself aside from enjoying the idea that I'll likely have the same job in a year I do now.
I don't see it. Academia already has this money. It was paid to them as tuition.

If loans are forgiven, the money will be "moved" (so to speak) to the bank accounts of the indebted, not academia.

In the case of state schools, student loans also benefitted the tax payers. Student loans means such schools can charge a higher tuition, which means they need fewer subsidies from the the state.
Erm but I'm not a candidate, so I don't really care for your vote. And I definitely agree with the idea that political engagement is both voice and exit.

That being said, what I suggest is not throwing away the UBI concept for the greater good. Mostly I regret the lack of participation in the discussion over social risks and economic security in general, which I don't think can be reduced to UBI and the problems it (supposedly) solves.

For lack of that participation, UBI ends up resembling a solution looking for a problem (a very bad starting point as you know if you're in the startup world). And those who support it so enthusiastically look like they're single-issue voters.

https://www.quora.com/Is-it-unethical-to-be-a-single-issue-v...

Workers engaged in the labor movement didn't fight for social insurance because it was a good idea. Rather they fought for it because some of them felt ill and couldn't afford proper care and then they died in misery.

Another way to put it: if I was aiming at building a giant tech company with a mission to provide economic security, I wouldn't start by promoting UBI but rather by solving my future customers' most pressing social problems—and those are (surprise) unaffordable housing and lack of health insurance, two issues that UBI doesn't address (or am I missing something?).

Maybe 10 years later, when you serve 1.7 billion users with a very large pool of risks, sophisticated financial tools and advanced machine learning, you'll end up with something vaguely resembling UBI. But UBI as a starting point seems like a failed startup to me.

Do something people want :-)

Again, I would wager that you have seen many, many shots on TV and in movies which were fully, 100% CG already. You just didn't notice because they really were indistinguishable. We've definitely already crossed that boundary in many areas, and the main things which still stand out is just bad work.
This may be insensitive but is the name too close to "coma" given the odds that one of their users will end up in one (through the product's fault or not)?
I kind of empathize with you since I did the same...but just because I feel angry, does that dictate what's moral overall? Here's an interesting question. Does someone who served in the military, peace corps, Americacorps or whatever have a higher, "moral high ground," for having served the country, for a super-reduced wage, over one who has not? Using your same logic, we should have anyone who did not do that pay a, "non-participation fee." We really just all live in a society with lots of winners and losers, different personalities, people who were unlucky because they got cancer, others who are descendants of the Rockerfellers, etc. Individual moral decisions, good or bad, don't automatically take precedence over moral decisions about the aggregate.

Why do people keep repeating this? It's not true. You can totally change employers on an H1 (I've done it twice). It just takes longer; 4 weeks to transfer your visa + 2 weeks notice. Your hypothetical Google H1 has recruiters contacting him/her day and night.

Can you think of a core class that would include Aristotle and Freud? It'd be a shitty survey class where people came out half-educated, using phrases like "begs the question" instead of "raises the question", which is ideally part of the problem philosophy core classes should solve. I don't think a survey of modern philosophers is any worse than this. Philosophy half-understood isn't very meaningful.

Also, modern philosophers have a lot to say. I still recommend de Beauvoir and Wittgenstein to anyone who cares to read.

Other things called "runkit":

Of course, there are only a finite number of possible names, especially when you limit yourself to names that are brief and meaningful, which makes name collisions almost inevitable. And maybe the above items are all obscure enough that it doesn't matter (I had heard of the first before, due to my past life as a PHP developer, but the other two I only found by searching)
Business Idea of the Day – Password API to Change Passwords Daily

Sure, but everything has to be ready, prepared and exercised before anything happens. Whatever plan you may conceive, you have to do plenty of test runs in advance. After it happens, it's chaos, it's too late to start new initiatives.

And there are caveats anyway.

For local connections, some kind of WiFi mesh might still be the best option.

For long distance, I don't think you can currently use anything but proper HAM equipment, and fairly large power at that. For a reliable connection, especially at good bandwidth, you need lots of power and a good antenna. But if you blow standards out of the water, and start pumping out huge bandwidths at huge powers, you run again into a tragedy of commons - you're taking up large chunks of spectrum over entire continents.

There is no free lunch.
The capabilities of an out-of-band management system are much, much greater than the serial console offers. BIOS and UEFI configuration are an obvious case, but you also use out-of-band management to bail yourself out of situations where the OS is unresponsive or unbootable, and to take many other management actions that would normally require physical access.

I am yet to see a flame ware here (thankfully). This community seems to be able to argue intelligibly. Or maybe I am just lucky.
It seems you're answering your own question. Why are there no other popular URL schemes? Because too many things don't support generic schemes so any new ones are DOA.

Here's an example. Suppose I want to do content-addressible storage. I could create a new URI scheme like hash://[content hash] and then make some client software to register that scheme with the OS, and in theory lots of applications using the operating system's URI fetch API could seamlessly pick up support for that URI scheme. But not if too many applications do the thing you recommend.

So instead I write software to use http://127.1.0.1/[content hash] and then run a webserver on 127.1.0.1 that will fetch the data using the content hash and return it via HTTP. But then we're +1 entire webserver full of attack surface.
But at least around here, wouldn't people rather own their storage

I know I'd rather not own any storage at home. I have a 9TB storage array (well, I'm only using about half) that I use for pictures, music and movies, and if I had a faster and more reliable internet connection, I'd happily move that all to the cloud.

I'd want my own encryption key though, so the provider can't see any of the data.

All of that data already lives at a cloud provider as backup -- took a couple months to upload it all.

> The most popular leaders of the 20th century, as voted by Russians, are Brezhnev, Lenin and Stalin, while the most unpopular are Gorbachev and Yeltsin, responsible for the collapse and break up of the USSR.

Brezhnev is more responsible for the collapse of the USSR than either Gorbachev or Yeltsin (or anyone else, except maybe Yuri Andropov.) Oh, sure, he was dead and the other two were around when it happened, but it was his intervention in Afghanistan that essentially sealed the fate of the USSR.

> What exactly rules out an American agent?

What exactly rules out America? NSA wants to see how an attack might unfold, or wants to see how to actually shut things down in case of insurrection, a coup, or pitchforks. Does some hard probing. Things get bad, and companies call in ... the NSA, who then get to do unfettered battle damage assessment.

Figure out what you want to accomplish long term before initiating contact.

This just seems like a fluff article.

> Because of its strategic interests and digital development, the UK is one of the most vulnerable economies in the world to cyber attack, Mr Martin added, making the need for more robust government action to protect businesses and civilians urgent.

The gist I'm getting from this article is that this "firewall" is mainly aiming to curtail phishing and email spoofing via DNS filtering. Do these sorts of "cyber attacks" actually have a significant economic impact? I doubt it.

> “Behind the necessarily closed doors of our cyber defence operations centre, last year we detected twice as many national security level cyber incidents — 200 per month — than the year before,” he said.

A definition of "national security level cyber incidents" would be helpful. Regardless I don't understand how those kinds of threats can be mitigated by DNS filtering.

> It is now far harder for hackers to mask malicious emails with fake “@gov.uk” suffixes. Only emails claiming to be from gov.uk addresses that contain specific keys known to the email domain owner — the government — can now be sent to UK internet users.

This makes it sound like the government is imposing PGP on all UK email users.

Person 1: I am from Kobe Japan and steak is best!

And so it goes. Both people are right and wrong at the same time. Preferences aren't universal facts.

> Using your same logic, we should have anyone who did not do that pay a, "non-participation fee."

Err, we do. It's called taxes, which fund the military.

More importantly, joining the peace corps is a choice. Nobody compels you to do it. Taxes are not: if student loans are forgiven, I'm being forced to pay for other people's financial decisions. I find that much more objectionable than my voluntary charitable contributions.
In reply to jazzyk, very few community colleges require that and even if you don't include those, most state schools will waive that requirement if you are over a certain age I.e. you went back to school.
There's also the issue of the dubious legality of using encryption over eg HAMNET. Modern internet without encryption simply isn't modern internet.
Your comparisons are completely invalid. This is quite different from penny auctions or services that get better in time.

Not exactly. If a person knows where they truly stand its easy to make life choices from there on.

Many people I know who did engineering with me in India were stuck waiting for a 'dream job' and have gone no where with their lives. People like us knew we had no special skills in engineering to wait for a magical moment of a 'dream job' to arrive and took whatever came our way. Incrementally we worked towards improving ourselves and now have near dream jobs.

The more special you think you are, lesser the options you will have. Because you would got used to thinking of many jobs as work beneath you.

> Ever see those black boxes over censored documents? It's obviously better than blurring, the only information you get is the size of the box.

Actually, quite a few times in the past with that method, you've gotten the complete text, because someone uses a format that includes the text as text (like PDF) and then dropped a solid-black box over the text, which looks like the text is obliterated, but preserves the entire content in the file.
It is a proven deterministic test of primality. We already had those before AKS, and they are significantly faster than AKS (even the various improvements). But they don't check all the boxes that are useful for stating things in computational complexity proofs without a paragraph of weasel words. So from the theory side of things, it's great since we don't particularly care about the actual execution time, but the asymptotic behavior and whether it is solidly shown to be in P.

Lots of math packages have deterministic primality tests, but none use AKS as a primary method, because AKS offers no benefits over other methods and is many orders of magnitude slower.

For inputs of special form, there are various fast tests. E.g. Mersenne numbers, Proth numbers, etc.

The fastest method depends on the input size and how much work you want to put in. For tiny inputs, say less than 1M, trial division is typically fastest. For 32-bit inputs, a hashed single Miller-Rabin test is fastest. For 64-bit inputs, BPSW is fastest (debatable vs. hashed 2/3 test). The BLS methods from 1975 are significantly faster than AKS up to at least 80 digits, but ECPP and APR-CL easily beat those. ECPP is the method of choice for 10k+ digit numbers, with current records a little larger than 30k digits.
