USSR actually did outlaw homelessness, and unemployment as well.

But at the same time, it guaranteed everyone a roof over their head, and a job; and that any job would pay enough to survive on. And it actually delivered on all those promises, at least at its economic heyday (roughly mid-60s to Perestroika).

Still, not exactly a good society to live in. The flip side of being guaranteed a job is that you couldn't turn one down. Even if you had to relocate, say.

While I agree with you that the reason why modern video codecs work so well is because they embody knowledge about the statistical structure of natural scenes, there is no reason why a data driven / neural network approach could not also learn these sorts of hierarchical spatiotemporal contingencies as well.

The image labeling neural networks are a good proof of concept of this possibility. After all, what is a text label other than a concise (ie highly compressed) representation of the pixel data in the image. Obviously, being able to represent that a cat is in an image is quite lossy as compared to being able to represent that a particular cat is in an image (and where it is, and how it's scaled, etc). However, it's easy to imagine (in principle) layering on a hierarchy of other features, each explaining more and more of the statistics in the scene, until the original image is reproduced to arbitrary precision.

Could this outperform a hardwired video compressor? In terms of file size/bitrate, my intuition is yes and probably by a lot. In terms of computational efficiency, no idea.

I would assume being able to reuse the connection for multiple requests. Setting up the TLS connection is quite a bit more expensive than raw TCP, and especially UDP (most DNS happens over UDP). For longer connections, the additional overhead is minor, but for the extremely short DNS messages, I would imagine that a TLS connection per DNS request would be some pretty substantial overhead.

Edit: The page mentions that this allows web applications to make their own DNS requests, possibly looking up things other than A/AAAA records that the browser normally requests.

Atheism has been attached to communism and socialism for a long time in the US so has a bad rap. But now with almost 40% of the us public calling themselve non religious and Bernie's socialist leaning campaign shows that is changing.

Apparently one day the person was called on to look at a computer over at the physics department.

When he got there, he found it to be a 486 running DOS hooked up to some particle sensor or other.

The reason it had not been replaced, beyond the cost and the year needed to ensure that the new sensor gave comparable results to the old one, was that DOS gave them direct access to the hardware, while Windows had too many layers of indirection.

Most of what I've heard of being used as support for attribution are "fingerprints" left behind on compromised devices. Things like characteristics of how variables were named in interpeted code, how binaries were compiled, specific attack vectors used, etc. I can't recall anyone recently pointing to first-hop originating IPs as being definitive evidence, in this age of cheaply traded botnets.
the main thing being that side effects still aren't happening in the core, so the core is still referentially transparent.
Maybe GasBuddy or the like can begin identifying stations which have experienced compromises (and are complacent) as well as ones which maintain some operational security or at least actively seek to fight the skimmers.

I would certainly give preference to stations with better scores, in that regard, even if there were a modest price premium.

Why the random photos on each slide?
I am somewhat curious whether Y Combinator is considering partnering with Cyclotron Road up at LBL. It seems to be focused on the same type of companies, hard science, but with an excellent model for supporting this kind of work.

As a scientist who founded a hard science startup (and now work for another), I feel like the hands down biggest barrier is lack of access to free/low-cost space to work. These projects aren't the kind of thing you can do out of a coffee shop, it's just too dangerous. Plus it requires expensive capital outlay to do the initial work, even if you only need the equipment for one or two tests.

The fact that they partner with a national lab to provide those testing resources saves so much time and energy that's better spent on finding product fit than fundraising enough to get to the point where you can even find out how well your technology can perform.

I'd strongly suggest at least reaching out to them to see if they can help advise, they've had amazing results so far.

As for grass-fed vs. grain-fed, most of the arguments seem to center around omega-3, omega-6 ratios. The difference between grass-fed and grain-fed are negligible when you compare them to chicken and pork, let alone nuts and vegetable oils. If I could afford grass-fed beef, I'd eat it, but I think grain-fed beef is fine, especially in the United States. If anything, it has more marbling, so yum! For what it's worth, the Bear argued there was little difference nutritionally and that it had more to do with texture and flavor.

Something I realized a while ago is that even if there isn't EXIF data left behind, you can pretty easily track a lot of photos- I've seen pictures of houses with readable licence plates in the parking lot, or a street name visible, house numbers, etc. If you really want to hide yourself, you have to try pretty hard to obscure data.

Consider one thing I saw- the guy said he lived in north Dakota publicly, and had a photo looking out of his garage. Visible was the street name on a signpost, and the house number across from him. Completely innocuous, but it's way more than enough to narrow him down completely. EXIF is easy, but to stay anon properly is hard.

An interesting exemption (basically, you set up a structured, regular payout of your 401k over the remaining life expectancy and don't touch it). I still don't see this being realistic in almost any case, but it's a good option to keep in mind.

That said, "$3916 a month from when you were 18 until 40" is simply not realistic for most people. How about college? You're not going to get a $100k+ a year job without either college or years of experience. Where do you find that perfect mate capable of immediately working their own $100k salary and contributing almost $2k a month to retirement at 18?

Personally, I make a really good salary (it's worth noting that it took until I was nearly 40 to even get to this point), have a working spouse, live in a relatively inexpensive part of the country, and I still could not put $4k into an 401k or roth IRA every month. Owning a house and reliable cars, having dependents... it's not realistic; it leaves nothing for wiggle room.

I'm also going to come out and say it: working yourself to the bone, skimping and saving is no way to live some of the most active years of your life.

That's my 2¢.

I see what you're saying, for the most part, and I definitely missed the fact that each customer was sent one of each. (I'm going to claim that I was distracted by the pictures :)

I'm still having a hard time viewing it as proof of a religious bias. There's still a number of conclusions that could be drawn that aren't that... The decorative tape might be harder for automated postage-processing machines to deal with. The decorative tape might be less sticky than the non-decorative tape (they make no mention of that). I'm not sure how they delivered this stuff to the Post Office, but if the packages were presorted into a group of decorative tape boxes and a group of plain tape boxes, that could be the _entire_ reason one type was lost/delayed more than the other (if a whole bin or a pallet or whatever had an issue).

It's only 9 packages that went missing, too. So if 5 of those 9 went to one city, 3 of the 9 to another, and 1 of the 9 to a third city, then the conclusion to draw is that those 3 cities had issue with the decorative tape for some reason. Not that the entire USPS is religiously biased. If each loss were stated to be in a separate (and significantly different) city, that would be closer to the stated conclusion.

Finally, at the bottom in the small print (I read it a bit more carefully this time), you see that they were shipped via Deutsch Post then handed over to USPS when they reached the US. (That's pretty standard for how international shipping works.) Without tracking, how can they lay blame for lost/delayed packages solely on the USPS? And even if they had tracking only up until the packages left the country (as is how some international shipments work), there are still factors outside of the USPS that could affect this, for instance maybe someone at the Deutsche Post decided for fun (or maybe even some sort of processing reason) to sort all/some of the 178 packages. Then imagine that a single bin of packages went missing and it just happened to be one of the bins of decoratively-taped packages... That could mean one act of incompetence (or even maliciousness) is deciding the entire outcome of the study.

Really though, the fact that they're concluding this based on 10 lost packages still strikes me as odd. An issue with just 10 packages is so well below the levels of extreme incompetence that I've encountered with the Post Office in my years that claiming religious bias feels like giving the system far too much credit.

Everyone is complaining that the prize is very small relative to the value of a successful dialog startup.

But I don't see what's bad about this. Amazon is open about how small the prize and presumably that will mean that anyone who has a shot at making a dialog startup won't participate.

So Amazon will probably get a lot of entries from groups that are sort of borderline, which isn't necessarily the worst thing in the world.

Another way I've heard this put is imagine you have a classroom. "Success" is a bucket at the front of the classroom. Now, every kid gets a ball and tries to hit the bucket. The privileged ones at the front have greater odds of hitting success no matter their skill level. Some underprivileged kids from the back may hit success but the odds against them are much greater.
OK, I went and learned some things and it turns out I was wrong but (at least assuming Linux, which is fair since this is a thread about systemd) you're wrong too. None of these signals have to be handled by pid 1.

SIGWINCH for a keyboard request is a thing that I did not know about, yes. But this is opt-in functionality for any process that has any VT open and is suitably privileged, and it is simply traditional for init to call ioctl(0, KDSIGACCEPT, SIGWINCH). Any process can request this, not just init; any signal can be used, not just SIGWINCH. And by default, no signal gets sent, neither to init nor to any other process. So init does not need to handle it.

(This of course leaves aside the question of whether anyone uses this functionality. How many users who are not init system developers know about this? And how many people have machines with physical keyboards that are not just running some window system that puts the keyboard in raw mode, anyway?)

See https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/v4.7/drivers/tty/vt/k... and L593-602 (initialized to 0 and disabled by default), https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/v4.7/drivers/tty/vt/v... (KDSIGACCEPT ioctl allows any suitably privileged process to request this), and http://www.fifi.org/doc/console-tools-dev/examples/spawn_log... (a separate daemon for doing this - via SIGHUP, incidentally - which says, "Note: this functionality has become part of init", implying it was originally not part of init!).

SIGINT on Ctrl-Alt-Del (if reboot(LINUX_REBOOT_CMD_CAD_OFF) has been called), and SIGPWR on power failure from the two drivers that implement it, are sent via the kill_cad_pid() function. This does default to pid 1, but that's just a default. And it's very easy to change that setting in userspace; it's a sysctl, /proc/sys/kernel/cad_pid.

See https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/v4.7/init/main.c#L998, which defaults cad_pid to init, and https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/v4.7/kernel/sysctl.c#..., the sysctl implementation.

The two drivers that implement SIGPWR, incidentally, are the S390 NMI handler and the SGI SN Platform's system controller driver, both of which I'm pretty sure see no use today. It's usually sent by a userspace process these days, which again could just choose to not use signals.

So none of the signals you've mentioned are pid 1's responsibility, They are traditionally pid 1's responsibility, yes. But those are two very different things, especially if we're talking about using PR_SET_CHILD_SUBREAPER to move all the interesting work out of pid 1.

The remainder of the signals handled by sysvinit, finit, runit, and nosh are all generated by userspace, and minit handles no other signals. And not all of these init systems bother to call KDSIGACCEPT.

I recommend being less condescending, especially if you're going to be wrong. (-:

Engineers are expensive. Google's research blog probably isn't a very high-traffic surface, and most visitors are probably on modern machines and fast networks. It doesn't make sense to spend a bunch of engineering resources on optimizing something like this. So instead, you do whatever is easiest to implement and maintain.
This is partly true. It's a mix of people who do it flashy for image and long-term types who stay under radar. What the latter do in their networks is similar to friend-to-friend architectures in P2P. Just more face-to-face for better evaluation of trustworthiness.
Each bitcoin is divisible up to 8 digits and can be used to represent certificates - potentially representing cell phone minutes, or certificates to equity or commodities - for the cost of .000000001 satoshi.

Now the kicker is, the bitcoin transaction fee is increasing rapidly due to (self-induced, political and totally fixable) bottlenecks in the network. I foresee an alternative taking over bitcoin if this isn't resolved soon.
