This sounds like something the CPU hardware should be handling, as x86 has 4 privilege levels ("ring 0 through "ring 3") while most OSes today only use 0 and 3. 3 could become "really untrusted" while what used to be in 3 moves to 2.

Although entropy originated in the context of statistical mechanics, Shannon/Jaynes showed it's a much more general and powerful concept. E.g. Information theory. Entropy is simply the average information in a probability distribution. Jaynes papers are super interesting! He derives famous stat mech results while making no ergodic assumptions and shows they're merely a consequence of statistical inference.

I suspect the concept is already present in economics. It's certainly under the hood of many statistical modeling techniques. For instance, some tree learning algorithms use entropy reduction measures to decide how to split the data for the tree. You can even derive the normal distribution by merely maximizing the entropy under the constraint of known variance.

I actually think Babylon 5, Seasons 2-4, was outstanding. I'm not sure of what you mean by being very negative about some of the acting -- I see the range as being from competent to brilliant, with almost nothing that was outright bad, a few specific lines perhaps excepted.

There was quite a bit of good stuff in the fifth season as well, actually, mainly the Centauri and telepath arcs.

I also can't think of any effects that are distracting on a rewatch.

I stopped watching Lost early on, perhaps in Season 2. I stopped watching Heroes a few episodes into Season 2; when Kristen Bell of all people seemed to be giving a bad performance, I concluded that the show was probably doomed.

In my opinion, there are three big problems with coding for the web in a language that compiles to JS:

) The object models from other languages range from somewhat compatible to totally different. Mapping another language to good JS code is a challenge.

) Debugging and profiling become a hassle. Even with proper sourcemaps, you are just much further away from the native JS runtime.

*) Libraries. As soon as you want to use something like React, underscore, etc, you need a method to bring some stub definitions into your host language. This is solved in different ways, but always a burden. Often a very annoying one.

Webassembly right now is useful for cases where high perf is really needed (games, cpu intensive tasks, ...), but there is no access to the dom.

You ultimately need Javascript to interact with the Browser.

I recommend Typescript. It's a better language than ES(2015), but tries to remain close and compatible. It's also got enough traction and support (enterprises/big projects love it) to not be in danger of just going away.
A lot of more recent Arduinos use more sophisticated cores than the AVR. There are several models that use ARM cores, there are a few that use x86 variants, etc. One of the advantages I can see with the Arduino infrastructure is that the libraries are fairly reasonably cross-platform, so you can use them on multiple projects which use different micros without having to rewrite a bunch of code.
Probably, lots of non GPL software out there.

> Do those ratings reflect actual tested durability or mainly marketing?

They reflect what the manufacturers will offer the warranty until. A quick google search suggests about 2 petabytes of writes is the max you can get on a samsung 850 before it completely fails (and after 1 petabyte you will have many failed sectors and data corruption starts creeping in)

At the same time, I bought my S3710 used and when I got it, it had almost 8 petabytes written and it's still just like new.

> "Monoid homomorphism" is an extremely compact way to communicate the concept to someone who already knows some first-year undergrad maths.

This looks like an intentional exaggeration, and I think serves no purpose. I am a math professor now, and my speciality is very algebraic, but I definitely didn't know what a monoid, or even what a homomorphism, was in my first year of undergrad. (I may not even have known what a monoid was in my first year of grad school ….)
In your own experience how are you measuring the g of the people you know?

It is really dangerous to rely on the people you know to predict causes since the people you know are not a good cross section of the population. It is like people who say how did politician x get elected when everyone I know voted for his opponent.

For what it is worth my personal experience is that the use of drugs or alcohol are not closely correlated with my estimate of a persons g, but major abuse problems are quite negatively correlated.

There is and should be a large portion of investment that should go to Earth for Earthly problems. The point I was teasing out is that, compared to such substantially large budgets that are already being invested into Earth on a continual basis, it is OK to consider % of budgets for space exploration and colonization as well.

True, it's merely a much faster rate, rather that a compounding effect.
But that's what I'm saying; there is lots of cryptography that is entirely unmotivated by attacks, like:

work on determining the size of complexity classes like CZK and SZK;

Determining lower bounds of round complexity of MPC in various models;

Determining the kinds of assumptions different primitives can be based upon;

Determining the complexity classes supported by different delegation of computation schemes, and the assumptions these can be based on;

Determining whether you can obtain particular primitives out of others, such as OWPs from OWFs in a non blackbox manner, seeing what iO can be used for, etc;

Improving asymptotic efficiency of various primitives, like NIZKs (see SNARKs).

I think the difference in our viewpoints comes from the communities we're; I'm in the theoretical, rooted in complexity theory side of things, whereas you appear to be on the more applied side of crypto, given your emphasis on things that are being used in practice.

A potential problem with this business model is that small-medium enterprises who lack logistics departments (target market for the product) tend to buy their goods Delivered Duty Paid, which means the seller arranges the transportation. If the seller is in China, they are required by law to appoint a licensed freight forwarder agent to place the ocean booking for them. So you really cannot play ball in the eastbound transpacific trade until you have a licensed operation in the PRC--which requires forming a Joint Venture corporation with a Chinese company.

And it sounds like this company wants to streamline online booking, SLI and B/L creation and shipment tracking, but I don't think I saw anything about handling ordering of or payment for the goods themselves, so it's still up to the buyer and seller to arrange purchase orders, commercial invoices, letters of credit, etc.
I think it's less because of fear, and more because of hate and anger that drives people to act the way they do and the laws after 9/11. Yes, everyone claims the new laws are to "keep people safe", but they all seem to follow the same pattern of trying even harder to catch criminals, punish them more when we've caught them, and lower the standard of evidence necessary for conviction.

After all, most people in the USA don't live near high value targets, and I doubt most people are afraid of terrorism in their day to day lives (the occasional highly unusual occurrence being the exception).

This, "the terrorists won" meme is getting old, and I don't believe is true. If you read up on ISIS extremists, they believe their destiny is to take over the world, ex. http://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2015/03/what-isi...

The truth is terrorist have engulfed themselves in anger and hate, and as the saying goes, hate breeds hate. That's what is happening to the USA. People are too embarrassed to admit it. After all, the modern enlightened individual has grown past hatred, right? They leave such petty emotions behind, don't they?

So, no one wins. Not the terrorists, nor the people... well besides a few power hungry elitists who should be lined up against a wall and shot (just kidding), but I think you see my point.

It's just a instinctual lizard brain response to a instinctual lizard brain action. And the more we deny we hate, the more it controls us.

> The fact that it's still being used is a testament to how easy it is to break into various "secure" accounts.

I don't disagree with your premise (that fingerprints are very bad passwords), but I don't see the logic of this sentence. If I were in favour of the use of fingerprints as passwords, I would think their continued use pointed to how hard, not how easy, it is to break them (because otherwise, hypothetical me would think, surely they would no longer be used).
You are defending the metaphor by using metaphors based on the metaphor you are defending.

Isn't labour law supposed to prevent abuses like this? I mean, I see your point, but the guy that wrote that letter had some characteristics of a textbook psychopath.

We had one like him few years back. One person in a large team was enough to demoralize all, team lead dropped out, few left. All this took months. Yes that one guy was marginally more senior, but the abuse cost a lot more in team productivity output than the seniority experienced output of that one problematic employee.

So yea, if it was my call, people like that will be out asap and off to be given proper medical help, rather than poisoning the team environment for everybody.
when you're at the bleeding edge, if you try to automate your way out of a solution, you will develop poor judgement. One of my grad student cohorts worked on a project where she automated large swaths of her project (which still required about 40-60h prep time). Early on during one of her group meetings, I urged her to take a closer look at her findings and not use automation for her work, but she didn't. I specifically warned her that "she might be chasing ghosts for years", and to not take my warning as any sort of judgment on her character. Later, she found that the thousands of observations she made were artefactual, a result of the automation kit she was using. Nonetheless I have a lot of respect for her for twisting the arm of her PI to allow her to publish the retraction report.

Apologies; I will.

Perhaps I assumed too much context. Through my use of significantly outdated slang I was hoping to communicate something along the lines of "almost the entirety of the internet functions simply because almost all people ignore the legal make-believe that is intellectual property", and my comment was an attempt at a tongue-in-cheek reminder of this.

Regardless, I won't comment further. Message received.
Zeitgeist has the meaning not only of "the spirit of the times" (literal translation), but of the sense of a binding or constraining dominant ideals and beliefs of a time, which can be viewed as proscribing a cage within which a set of contemporaneously accessible ideas are constrained.

The biggest problem with the lone-gunman theory is this: what if the rocket was hit in an area that didn't cause an immediate, violent explosion?

If you hit the rocket at all, something will fail, very possibly in a manner that will either be noticed before launch or discovered by a subsequent investigation. A .50 caliber bullet hole with its edges facing inward will not be missed by investigators, if there's anything left to investigate at all.

So, no. Nobody shot the rocket with a sniper rifle, because that would be stupid. They would be very likely to get caught, or to cause detectable damage that would obviously not be SpaceX's fault.

You're being a tad disingenuous here. RHEL's EULA[1] is basically the same as SLE's, openSUSE's, Ubuntu's and so on. It only states that you are not allowed to use the RedHat trademarks when you redistribute RHEL -- and since RHEL (and the other distributions I mentioned) puts all of their trademarked components in a single "branding" package then it is not practically restrictive to make such a requirement. RHEL has no requirement that you cannot distribute some software (in fact, the distribution is under GPLv2 much like openSUSE and SLE).

Apple's EULA restricts users to only being able to use software they distribute under their "acceptable use policy". This is simply a violation of the GPL, with no wiggle room for discussion.

The phrase: "It's permanent" lacks vision.

It's altogether reasonable to imagine a technology that can and will remove greenhouse gases from our atmosphere, soil, and water.

In fact, there are research efforts underway to this effect as I write these words. This doom and gloom attitude is very likely exacerbating the root cause of what ails our understanding of how to combat the issue.

Perhaps if a more hopeful, unified understanding of what we as a society are doing (!) was spread by modern media, we could then determine what steps to take in order to fix said issue.

Let's remember that: yes, 400 ppm sucks, and yes, climate change is a problem because of greenhouse gas emissions, but also let us remember that we have scientific understanding to relegate the negative aspects and effects if and WHEN we decide to work on these issues with a more focused mindset rather than the aforementioned doom and gloom.

Would it not be more effective to focus on what is possible via concerted efforts rather than what those who benefit from click-throughs do to enjoy larger ad revenue?
I believe one came out recently, I saw it on GitHub a few days ago. It mainly did landscape and searched for similar images then combined them to form a new one.

> You essentially were at a disadvantage if you had a social life.

I actually think that is an incorrect myth. You can have a social life, you just have to pick social activities that are compatible with the grueling schedule. For example, I took up social dancing, which meets with a regular weekly pattern, and I was able to plan my experiments around it.

If you expect to have nonscientist friends that want to impromptu go out all weekend every weekend, well, that's maybe not going to happen, but I think that a lot of scientists use the process as an excuse to justify their social anxiety - the causal arrow here is in the wrong direction.
