Yes, and this is a good thing.

It is better than what we do, informally. We all use models (of some sort) when we process information; e.g. I discount certain publications and value others. But few people actually make their models explicit and ask others to critique them.

Making a model public and explicit is a great first step. Building more models on top is a good thing, not a bad thing.

>Locking down the machines is fine if you don't get any privilege exploits that take over the machine

but in that case deepfreeze isn't going to save you either.

privilege exploits = SYSTEM access = kernel mode access = ability to bypass deep freeze (by circumventing their IO driver)
That's what I started out with! Fill the entire universe with solid rock (since air and vacuum are insulating.) Bore out a cylinder, fill it with water (electricity), and add a piston and spring. Wires are water-channels added to either end.

But note that, if we use a constant-force spring, then the voltage remains the same until just before the "capacitor" is totally discharged. So, it acts like a battery! To get a "capacitor," the spring must have an unchanging spring-constant, so that the potential-difference rises in proportion to how much water has been pumped from one terminal to the other.

But a water tower only has one terminal. A better "capacitor" would be a pair of water towers side by side.

To "charge" this double-water-tower capacitor, pump some water from one to the other. And, when the water-tower capacitor is entirely "discharged," the towers both have the same water level inside. (As with a real capacitor, the total amount of water never changes.)

I've got 2 computer-illiterate parents and I can confirm the following works very well:

1) Create a user account in Windows that is NOT an administrator account, that way they can't install things without an admin username and password. The PCs admin account should be password protected.

2) Enable the highest level of windows alerts (those "this program wants to make changes or modifications to this PC, cancel or allow" messages). Teach your parents to always click no/cancel/do not allow.

3) Ad blockers like uBlock. Remove shortcuts to, or uninstall Internet Explorer.

4) Use software like DeepFreeze http://www.faronics.com/products/deep-freeze/standard/ it restores the computer to a snapshot you saved every time you restart it. No matter what they mess up or install or screw up, it'll be fixed with a restart.

You're looking for a refactoring tool that can perform 'inline method' refactorings (the reverse of 'extract method', which turns whatever you selected into a function call)

And yes, the idea is language-agnostic, but tools doing it aren't, and, generally, tools are easier to write for less dynamic languages.

One way to deal with code you do not understand is to print out the various functions, sit down with them away from your computer, but with a few differently colored pens or pencils, and start making notes.

It also can help if you can single-step through the code with a debugger, even if it's just to be able to write down a few (inputs, return value) pairs.

"That government is best which governs least, because its people discipline themselves." (Thoreau)

Gridlock in the US government is a feature, not a bug, if for no other reason than it forces polarized, mutually opposed interests to compromise their principles and self-interest to get anything done.
It actually is the electrons. But they never touch each other. Instead they push upon each other across empty space, by using e-fields and b-fields.

If there wasn't any chain of electrons inside the conductor, then the EM fields would just fly off into space, like with a transmitting antenna.

Wires can guide the EM energy because each electron can push the next one in sequence. But also, one electron doesn't just push on the next one. Instead, it pushes on a huge number of electrons far upstream and down the long chain of mobile charges going off into the distance. That's why the EM energy can "leapfrog" across the movable charges, at the speed of light. If each electron could only push upon its nearest neighbor, then electrical energy would travel at about the speed of sound.
Exactly :) I agree with what you said elsewhere in the thread as well, it's certainly a way to retain users on the page longer and have them stare at the gauges very attentively. I actually love this on so many levels.

Agreed, if it was oscillating wildly between extremes that would be one thing, but moving a few degrees is IMHO a helpful reinforcement of the margin of uncertainty.
What you're referring to is, I believe, proximal causes and distal causes.

Distal causes in depression's case maybe stuff like sleep deprivation, overstressed immune system, gut biome issues, etc. (and possibly genetic elements, who knows!) with little known about how they cause it or how they interact/overlap with one another.

The immediate proximal cause is, of course, the "chemical imbalance", which is popsci speak for neurotransmitter issues (among possibly others), a higher level proximal cause might be a life event that somehow causes some 'critical mass threshold' leading a spiraling avalanche (though again, little is known at the biological level about why this is so, assuming it is so.)
It's surprisingly frustrating not to have details on this - and indeed most other attacks.

I think we as an industry need full disclosure on all attacks (anonymised to encourage reporting)

However we as customers need full disclosure on all attacks with attribution so we can move our accounts to safer banks.

A strange dichotomy
Self driving taxis solves that problem. Very few people will actually own cars.
I wrote an "abuse of our attention". Here's why. Attention is a limited commodity. Movement attracts the eye. Using movement is fine if it conveys information. Movement that never stops should only be used if each movement conveys information.

In this case, a better solution would be a blurred needle.

It is well known that multi-tasking and context switching has a cost. The same applies to movements on visualizations.
Clearly there is a disconnect on this thread that I approve of theranos and that I don't accept companies failing as a possible good thing.

Of course theranos did bad things and of course I companies failing can be good for the market but I don't hope for it just because I don't think the company is "humble".

And even if I think the company is getting unfair privileges and lacks humility I'd rather the company pivot or adjust then complete failure. And that whoever is enabling them (company) change as well!

Complete failure aka bankruptcy (or analog) is very bad particularly if the company is bigger.

Changing where you work can be as life changing as moving. Not all employees of a massive company have easy to switch jobs like developers do.

What do I tell my parents to do to join GNU Social, and what do I tell them they should use it for once they do? For instance, here is what I would say for Facebook: "You can join Facebook by going to www.facebook.com, entering some information and clicking the 'Sign Up' button. Then you can search for your friends and family and send them messages and see pictures and articles that they post." I never really had a good answer for the second question in the case of Twitter, and I don't actually have a good answer for either question in the case of GNU Social.
Actually, it's electric wattage which is the moving photons, not electric current. Energy flow. Joules per second, same as with laser outputs.

So, the electric companies are selling us 60Hz photons.

But at the same time, the AC electricity just vibrates back and forth inside the wires, without any net forward motion.

About the only accurate diagram of EM spectrum I've ever encountered was the one made by R. Oppenheimer and sold as a classroom poster by The Exploratorium in SF. At the bottom, below VLF radio, we find audio-freq phone lines, and below that, 60Hz power lines. "Electric power" is on the EM spectrum, down below radio waves.

And yes, if we have a big enough antenna tower, then we can hook it up to a 60Hz dynamo, and spew 60Hz EM radiation out into space. Actually that concept was one of N. Tesla's great breakthroughs: hooking a steam-powered 50KHz alternator directly to an antenna, and broadcasting a silent carrier: CW. A couple years after his patents on this ran out, GE suddenly announced the "Alexanderson Alternator!" Finally making music/voice broadcasting possible! The public wondered how Alexanderson managed to come up with such an amazing idea. (If investors had bought Tesla stock, we'd have had AM radio ~20 years earlier. Tesla clearly grasped the concept that "radio" was the same thing as "electric power," just higher in frequency.)

So far it has been one layer too far. plus I don't have to worry about any saves to the HD.
Your conclusion puzzles me. If it works, then, as suspected, it could be a product of thermal expansion.

now, perhaps, the specific cone shape exploits thermal expansion and contraction in a way that hasn't been observed before. if it's thermal expansion, but it still works, then will the materials withstand the constant cycle over a long period in space.

you're all idiots.

i think at the scale of a tree and an apple such insight would be a clear revolution stead essentially a whitepaper

but from the perspective of the paper i think this answers your initial question:

> It doesn't explain how gravity emerges from bits of information.

resides on large scales, infored bu flattening of rotational curves, and entanglement entropy(o)

there is a known relation, inequality, between entanglement entropy, a subsequent of quantum information, and large scale gravitational considerations

should one interpret the relation as 'emergent' or 'coincidence' it would seem a viable avenue of investigation

from the paper:

> 1.3 Hints from observations: the missing mass problem

> ...The observed flattening of rotation curves, as well as many other observations of dark matter phenomena, indicate that they are controlled by the Hubble acceleration scale a0, as first pointed out by Milgrom...

> ...Consider a spherical region with boundary area A(r) = 4πr2 that contains matter with total mass M near its center...

> ...The appearance of the cosmological acceleration scale a0 in galactic dynamics is striking and gives a strong hint towards an explanation in terms of emergent gravity, as envisaged in [38].

> To make this point more clear let us rewrite the above inequality as SM = 2πM/ha0 < A(r)/4Gh (1.4)

> The quantity on the left hand side represents the change in the de Sitter entropy caused by adding the mass M, while the right hand side is the entropy of a black hole that would fit inside the region bounded by the area A.

> Our goal is to give a theoretical explanation for why the emergent laws of gravity
differ from those of general relativity precisely when the inequality (1.4) is obeyed.

> We will find that this criterion is directly related to the presence of the volume law contribution to the entanglement entropy.

> At scales much smaller than the Hubble
radius gravity is in most situations well described by general relativity, because the entanglement entropy is still dominated by the area law of the vacuum.

that last quote seems to reference the apple

HFT having a lot of volume is irrelevant, what matters for Julia to be prevalent, is to have a lot of analysts use the toolset. You should measure the amount of analysts working in HFT vs those not working in HFT.

Furthermore - HFT is perhaps the worst case for Julia, since the implementation will always be in low level languages. Julia's speedup is only useful for research in HFT.

I am in no way trying to be snarky here, but can I ask what is meant by the phrase, "Capital D Depressed"? I've also seen someone use "Capital A Architect". Does the meaning change by capitalizing a word that isn't usually? Is this something to do with making it into a proper noun?

I went to the IPv6 page and it's not showing a V6 IP Address http://screencast.com/t/Xuq4VOfnS but the Dynamic page for IPv4 displays it in those text boxes(editing is disabled on them even though they look like inputs. A bit confusing UX if just looking at the image)

Just found this: http://forums.timewarnercable.com/t5/IPv6/Not-getting-IPv6-A... from two months ago "I got someone from Tier 3 on the phone and he told me it was not available yet in my area." so hmm, sounds like some areas might be last to get it then.
At an average of £277/account it's interesting to speculate on the method used here

By increasing levels of awfulness:

- an inside job. Bad but humans have betrayed trust placed in them since long before Judas

- a credentials exploit. It seems not to be a mass hit on ATMs as Tesco allowed people to keep withdrawing. So potentially a long term phishing exploit to gain passwords. But seems a very long game so ...

- deep systems penetration on scale of Bank of Bangladesh. This would be worst for Tesco and for the industry - to have people inside with control over account transfers without your knowledge is a shutdown the bank level of problem. This seems unlikely too as they have not, y'know, shutdown the bank.

So my speculation has led pretty much nowhere. We don't know what happened, so we cannot take sensible precautions.

If I have to guess, it is not the worse case scenario. That's too horrific and Tesco has not seemingly rebuilt all its system from source.

So I guess we plump for credentials exploit and a very fast offshore payment. It's doable if Tesco's anti-fraud is not at the top of the game (as they are new, run their own backend and are a grocers not a bank it's quite probable)

Inside job seems unlikely - too many accounts too many things to go wrong.

But I am jut guessing now. Too little data as Sherlock said
I recommend the book: Tmux--Productive Mouse-Free Developmenet, written by Brian P. Hogan. It's a concise and practical book about Tmux. There are some usable configuration in it, and you can learn something about concepts like session, window, pane in the book. After you combine vim style with tmux, it's quite perfect to do anything in the terminal. Haha, enjoy!
