modulo will work fine as a hash function, but is obviously not one-way.

Modulo is a one way trap door operation.

Proof via arrogance:

X % 100 = 50
Solve for X
Solution X = F(n) where F(n) = 100*n+50 (for all n > 1)

This does indeed meet the requirements of a hash functions. Modulu is a bad hash function because it is poorly distributed.

Cryptographic Hashes should NEVER collide, on any inputs, ever, period.
>This is obviously not possible

NIPS says if you observe 2 inputs of a cryptographic hash which compute to the same digest the hash is considered depreciated. So yes my definition is correct.

Obviously yes all cryptographic hashes aren't unique for every input. As they maybe N bytes long. And simply a logic will tell you there is more information in N bytes of data vs 64 bytes (512bits).

The real issue is, prove it. Testing even the 512bit address space will take you longer then the heat death of the universe, so good luck!
I am sorry to inform you that we don't completely understand anything at all. We barely understand the world and universe around us. To say that we completely understand anything is a fallacy. Also with the scientific method, nothing is set in stone as fact. Anything can change our understand at anytime.

And yet ASTM maintains a Washington, DC, presence, with public policy (a/k/a lobbying) positions.

Even if ASTM itself doesn't directly lobby, it's ... delightfully or frighteningly charming, take your pick, that the naive view of an industry organisation not being utilised by its members for their direct benefit through rules-setting wouldn't find itself used to do so. Directly, indirectly, overtly, or otherwise.

Congressional Record lists 188 results for ASTM in Congressional testimony and documents: https://www.congress.gov/search?q=%7B"source"%3A"congrecord"...

Note that ASTM is principally active at city, county, and state levels, for which comparable archives are much less available.
The trades are difficult to completely automate but there are similar impacts from deskilling and moving work into factories.

When I say deskilling, I'm talking about creating products that reduce the amount of skill required to do a task. This increases the pool of labor competing for the job. It also often increases how much a single person can get done in a given amount of time.

> If he were pardoned, and that material were released, would he be immune to prosecution? This sounds like a thorny thing to try to figure out, or maybe it's really obvious

Its actually potentially quite simple, but impossible to answer without the actual text of the pardon. A pardon can be as simple or complex, and as broad or narrow as the President chooses to make it. It could, for instance, cover any offense that may have been committed by the recipient prior to the date of the pardon, in which case the answer is simple -- yes, Snowden would be immune.

Many generations before now either had access to very low or free tuitions from public universities, or fairly low tuitions (relative to future earnings) for private schools. Society subsidized those costs because it was an excellent investment on future economic growth.

Somehow we got twisted into this track of thought that everything must be individually accounted, and student became individually loaded with the debt of their education. And because students as a group are in a poor bargaining position for tuitions - the inflation of education costs skyrocketed. I think they are the only life cost that gives healthcare a run for it's money in it's ability to exceed (by multiples) both the growth in the economy, let alone the growth in personal incomes. This cannot continue.

Plans to give student aid to income below a certain threshold will only serve to further cause tuition inflation. It is a case where individual allocation of cost/debts is much less efficient and harmful to our economy than social allocation of the cost. I think we need to go back to funding public universities out of direct state and federal budgets so that public institutions can offer low or no tuitions. This way, gov't organizations with the budget leverage, with much better visibility and oversight can keep costs down at public universities. Low public university costs will also help cap the excesses of private tuitions via market competition.

Unwinding the current mess of student debt is also a huge issue, but should be undertaken too (but I'll leave that to some other time...)

Because it was nearly impossible to store all that data before, we had to figure out what we wanted to look at before we got the data. Now that we can store that data easily, it gives us the flexibility to find things we didn't know we wanted. For instance, if you are constantly storing raw sensor and proprioception data for your robot, if you are having problems with, say, its movement routines, you can look at the raw data and look for trends. Imagine how much easier debugging would be if you could just store the state of your software constantly rather than either looking for patterns ahead of time, or just toggling the data dump for small periods of time.

Now instead of a robotic hobbyist, imagine if you were a Tier 1 ISP or large banking institution.
I think it's time for the return of a "reverse intelligence agency", something like the old Government Information Awareness[1] idea. We need an intelligence agency for the people that monitors government agents of all sorts, and integrates all the open data databases, to make it easier for us to monitor the government. First, because transparency is the ultimate disinfectant, and two, because once they see how it feels to have the shoe on the other foot, it might change the way certain people feel about ubiquitous surveillance.

In other words, it has no empirical base. It's an idea. A thought, held in the belief that some future action by you or others may prove it correct.

I'd like to see something similar to the risk retention rule that was supposed to be put in place for mortgages by Dodd-Frank.* Colleges should only get 80 or 90 cents on the dollar from student loans and have to wait for the rest until the loans are repaid (if at all). Perhaps a sliding scale could be used depending on the amount borrowed, with more expensive schools bearing more of the risk.

* I say supposed to be because the rule was swallowed by an exception during the regulatory process and now only plays a minor role.
I think this article is exaggerating. In the long run, maybe the US will lose its luster, but it is still a very desirable place to live.

I'm skeptical of not allowing loans for degrees that don't lead to jobs. The fact that a statistical argument can be made, like "Only 30% of music majors have jobs out of school" totally obscures the fact that there are causal factors that determine career success out of school. I don't think the issue is degrees that don't lead to jobs. I think much of the issue is people beginning degrees that they have no business beginning. I suppose this is probably related to to many people going to college in the first place?

I majored in music. It's pretty easy to tell who will have a reasonable career after college. The people who are well prepared succeed. The people who aren't usually flounder and subsequently go on to flounder after school.

Should we be telling people who are likely to succeed in their field that they can't get loans to study something they will probably do well at because of all the asshats that apply to these programs with little preparation?
I think you have to have that discussion before you stop offering student loans. Nothing else would create the political room needed to do it...

> A formal system cannot in general prove that it is reliable, i.e. that if it proves statement P then P is true.

I'm not entirely sure what you mean by this (I haven't read the article yet, and I'm already familiar with Loeb's theorem).
It's true that you cannot show that, say, second order arithmetic is consistent in the same system.
In fact, every soundness proof (for a sufficiently strong logic) will have to be carried out in a stronger system.

There is a standard way around this, which has existed for a long time.
You stratify the system by introducing universes.
E.g. in type theory, a universe is a type of (codes for) small types.
This allows you to state and show meta theorems "for all (small) types", by quantifying over a universe.

In the concrete example of Martin-Loef type theory (MLTT) you can show that MLTT with n+1 universes contains a model of MLTT with n universes.
On the other hand, adding more universes seems to be harmless as far as anyone knows.

Under the assumption that MLTT with a countably infinite number of universes is consistent and you restrict your formal system to only use a bounded number of universes, it is still possible to show that it is "reliable".
It is "at least as reliable" as MLTT with countably many universes.

I will read the article later and update this post if there is something compelling in the paper.
At the moment I'm just confused what the problem is, and would really appreciate it if you could expand on this.

I'm a happy Adblock Plus user and I like this move.

Advertising, in general, does not bother me. I occasionally even find it valuable. Ads on sites like Google and Facebook are perfectly fine by me—I just don't want big, animated ads or (more frequently) broken ones which prevent me from reading content. In fact, I already go out of my way to disable ABP on sites where the ads are acceptable.

Contrary to what people on HN believe, advertising is not inherently evil. Most people are perfectly fine with ads so long as they're not invasive.
Yes! The approach I took was to build a product that solves a broad problem (in my case geographic visualisation) and showed that to get clients who wanted something similar but tweaked for their use case. Of course they then ask 'is it possible to do this other thing' and all of a sudden you're doing data vis consulting.

As an aside, I'd suggest selling the data science too if you have the skills since data viz isn't just about showing data but figuring out how to show it to answer the relevant business questions - they go hand-in-hand and it's both a more compelling sell and adds more value to deliver the full stack solution instead of just the viz piece.

Good luck!
Do you have any recommendations?

There's a significant difference between providing a tool to allow an end user to take an action and leveraging your position as a middleman to inject content. This is no different than the egregious behavior displayed by Verizon and others.

What gives Ad Block Plus the right or qualification to determine that my ad is a "bad" ad?

Why should ABP have the ability to suppress editorial or advertising content on my website, replace it with it's own advertising content and not share revenue with me?

Ad blocking itself may be considered a ethical issue as well, but it's a different ethical issue. With blocking, the decision is ultimately made by the end user. With ad injection, ABP is making itself a third party stakeholder.

That's not how we usually deal with a public health hazard. Usually the government steps in and forces the company to stop the harmful activity (or even shut down), and then face criminal charges.

> And if it was warrantless then it's inadmissible anyhow, right?

This only matters if the government collecting the data continues to be relatively democratic and free. That can change nearly in an instant given the right circumstances (see the crackdown following the coup attempt in Turkey) and all that gathered information then becomes a great way to go fishing for "undesirables".

The nonchalant attitude of many towards this proves George Santayana's adage true: "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it".
This. You're also just looking at private schools there; whereas students could attend public universities in their state and realize benefits that their (or their parents) tax dollars have defrayed the cost of tuition. The amount of money that amounts to poor spending on "needing" to live on campus, "needing to go to your top pick school", etc. is a little astounding. Also astounding is the ability to finance things like living expenses / room & board, which are often a huge component of total cost
Could you elaborate? Not sure what you mean.
The education market won't fix itself because students are not in a sufficiently secure bargaining position where they (collectively) can make an informed decision that corrects the market.

> Out of curiosity - how powerful is a presidential pardon?

It is absolute.

> Can a US president basically compose an edict saying 'This man is a bleeding hero and no branch of the US government will ever hold any of his actions related to incident X against him, now or in the future or else they shall snuff it!' and have this respected by his successors?

No, a pardon only affects criminal prosecutions and punishments -- to the extent covered by the text of the pardon, any future prosecution (or continuation of existing prosecution) is barred, and any criminal punishment (including and disabilities imposed by past conviction) is terminated. It doesn't affect any other action by the government, including any civil action that might be available in law.

> Is it narrowly defined, eg. the pardonee (is that even a word) may not be prosecuted for his violation of US code such-and-such, section so-so committed on or before date DDMMYY? (Leaving any successor free to throw the book at him for anything not explicitly covered by the issued pardon?)

It can be as narrow or broad as the President chooses. About the only limit is that it is generally held (though this has never had occasion to be tested) that the Constitutional power of the pardon does not extend to prospective pardons (that is, a pardon cannot apply to offenses that occur after the pardon is issued.)
