The thing I sometimes have trouble with is:

1. Corporations behave like sociopaths.

2. Corporations don't really exist. They're a legal fiction that, in reality, is just a group of people working towards a common goal (maximum profit).

I wonder if it's counter-productive to think and speak of corporations as some sort of separate entity to the people it is composed of. I think the notion that 'corporations are evil sociopaths' is one of those thought-stopping 'mind-killers'. Corporations don't have intent, good or bad; they don't really exist (except in our minds).

As harsh as it may sound, if we want a 'corporation' to behave ethically, then we should assign blame to those that are perpetrating the harm: to the employees, managers and owners of that corporation. It's their collective efforts and actions that have led to unethical outcomes, not the singular effort of some invisible corporate spectre.

I think it's the only possible way to fight this 'diffusion of responsibility' that allows a whole bunch of (mostly) normal people to all do tiny unethical acts that, when viewed in aggregate, are abhorrent. I suspect whatever the best solution is will be similar (or analogous) to how you overcome the 'bystander effect': rather than saying 'someone call 911', say 'you, guy in the red shirt (point at him), call 911'.

tl;dr - It turns out the Ring of Gyges is not a ring at all. It's a multi-story building filled with rows of cubicles.
The article can be summed up as "yes, it's more".

The article cites continuum hypothesis (or rather, links a Wikipedia article
for formula), but that one is not about whether it's greater or not, as the
hypothesis assumes that there is inequality.

All in all, the article doesn't even mention how to prove this inequality.

Also,

> So, is it true that that 2^∞ > ∞? The answer depends on which notion of
infinity we use. The infinity of limits has no size concept, and the formula
would be false.

Not really. The "infinity of limits" is not an object you can compare to, it's
just a notion that the sequence behaves in certain way. On this ground the
formula "2^∞ > ∞" is ill-formed.
I thought let's encrypt was only for domain names and not for email encryption. I'm a beginner in self hosted email.

I'm using spf and dkim, ip is not blacklisted, and the domain I'm sending from has a let's encrypt cert, but my emails still go to gmail spam. (Outlook also, but yahoo goes to the inbox)

Now that I'm thinking, the emails are sent using postfix through the fqdn (subdomain.example.com) which is not served by http and hasn't hot a cert.

If this is the case should sending the emails through example.com or add a cert to host.example.com work?

Or is there another mechanism to use let's encrypt certs for email?

The headlines were terrible. They were linking cancer and red meat and smoking.

Here's one example of terrible reporting: https://www.theguardian.com/society/2015/oct/26/bacon-ham-sa...

> Processed meats rank alongside smoking as cancer causes – WHO

> UN health body says bacon, sausages and ham among most carcinogenic substances along with cigarettes, alcohol, asbestos and arsenic

This headline is mixing up 2 things: the quality of the evidence (which is now as good as the evidence we have that smoking etc cause cancer) and the strength of the effect (smoking is very much more harmful than eating red meat).

It's frustrating that the news reporting was so bad, because it's caused people to reject the science: we know, with a high level of confidence, that processed red meat can cause cancer, although it probably doesn't cause very many cases of cancer.
Well, it is always possible that attacker broke out of the container, as the container is still running under the same kernel, only its process(es) are chrooted + namespaced. Containerized "root" supposedly has its' privileges cut down, but if the kernel is exploitable...
I've recently had a rather bizarre experience: I dropped my iPhone 7+ (covered by AppleCare) and despite a case and screen protector the lower edge of the screen was somewhat scuffed by abrasion with a very rough concrete floor.

I contacted Apple Italy (I live here, bought it here) and was perfectly candid about what happened and the fact that I recognised it was my fault but wanted the screen replaced (at my cost) anyway. The waiting time was quite long.

So long in fact I mentally calculated it would make more sense to book an appointment with Apple in New York and had it fixed there whilst on a business trip.

So I went to the store in NY at the appointed time, very candidly explained what had happened and that it was my fault, fully expecting to be charged — and instead they fixed it for free in less than 20 minutes.

I was stunned.
Not sure if this is a good idea or not, security by obscurity never really fools anyone in my opinion... Anyway I think that the HonSSH logs are not visible to the attacker, they are on the man in the middle node so hence the hacker doesn't get to see them, for the most part it looks very very similar to a legitimate SSH connection.
I'd say the opposite. Terraforming is a massive engineering challenge. People rise to engineering challenges and create amazing technologies. They don't do so well at changing human nature.

There's plenty of reasons. Here's a bullet list with some thoughts.

* Using virtual machines isn't a bad idea for cases where you have a one off calculation for a paper that you need to publish. But for some groups they need to continually model and predict stuff. For example, weather forecasting needs to be done every day.

* Hadoop MapReduce and friends are extremely slow. Virtualization slows things down as well. The person in your article was using software called Shrodinger which isn't MR.

* Often, MapReduce performance is bottlenecked by the shuffle stage. This requires a lot of data to be passed around the network. Ethernet and http connections are not ideal for this if performance is your goal (though they are good for resilience). RDMA (remote direct memory access) with Infiniband is much better (offloading lots off the cpu, less chatter, etc). There exist RMDA plugins for Hadoop but they're of ymmv quality.

* MR isn't an ideal paradigm for every calculation. MR comes from
search indexing (google) and is useful in areas where you need to look at all the data and moving the data around is more intense than the calculations. If you can filter, feature extract, or otherwise reduce the amount of data being moved around, the benefits of using HPC style clusters win out. Places where you must look at all the data: Indexing, Adversary detection (insurance fraud, intruder detection), format change (mp4->webm, gz, json->bson), ingestion, backups. If you're not doing these things you might want to consider whether MR is right for you.

* Even in search indexing, deep learning is becoming en vogue and this is extremely computationally expensive. This means the cost of moving the data around is again taking a back seat.

* A large part of the benefits of Hadoop style MR was having local data. But network speeds have outpaced drive speeds so data locality is less of an issue. Coupled with deep learning, there's less need for HDFS type systems. GPFS or Object storage is fine.

Also, the page says it's only a theoretical petaflop:

"While Stowe says the Amazon cluster hit 1.21 petaflops, that's the theoretical peak speed rather than the actual performance. In the Linpack benchmark used to test supercomputer speeds, the theoretical peak is always reported, but the real-world results are what count when ranking the world's fastest machines."

5 Reasons Why Marketers Need Image Recognition
Glad to hear you got yours back to normal. When it first started happening after I upgraded, I read up on it, and a lot of reports said to expect degraded battery for the first few days at least while the email app caught up and reindexed all mailboxes and iCloud did a fresh backup of up of the existing data. I have about 6 email accounts on my iPhone each with gigabytes of data, so I happily put up with the heat and battery issues for a while.

But nearly two months later, the problem continues unabated. The heat is a real worry as it is too uncomfortable to have in my pocket anymore (the metal edges become almost too hot to touch), and I am wary of charging it when I am not nearby to monitor for any problems (oddly - it doesn't seem to heat up so much when charging, but I want to be 100% sure).
I'm much more concerned that everyone is forced to work on things that aren't what they want to do and is still running under the whip of starvation. I want that whip entirely removed. I want people free to follow their passion. And I want these things for myself, because I selfishly object to having my life wasted.

I like it, there have been a couple projects where this would have cut time in half.

Some of the controls were hard to navigate on an iPad Pro. Time in particular was hard to use, not enough space. This is a fault of the resolution of the pro, but if the targets aren't big enough, I'm scrolling the page instead of the hours.
Different kinds of applications. Think of it like public transportation versus owning a car.

For highly parallelizable and distributable applications (anything where mapreduce makes sense), commodity clouds are awesome. Just like relying on the subway in a city. You'll have a bit of a hassle when you need to go shopping, but your normal use case is such that it is worth the hassle.

Now let's say you have a code where your tasks require much tighter coupling due to communication (basically "Science codes"). In these cases, what you want is the interconnect. You want to be able to get a physical block of nodes in a very short amount of time for a somewhat long amount of time. In terms of cars, imagine that you live outside of a city or tend to do a lot of shopping or long distance driving.

And that is basically the logic here. It sounds like the Japanese rig is intended to be similar to the US's ORNL Titan in that it is primarily a capacity machine for science in general. So people with those kinds of jobs can buy time and run their large simulations with ease while still relying on stuff like AWS for postprocessing and the like. In that case, even though this is a 130 petaflop machine, it will likely only ever run one or two jobs at that scale and will instead operate as a "cloud" with a focus on large contiguous allocations.

Whereas the other form of SuperComputer are the ones meant for large jobs for a small subset of users. Those are the ones that tend to be owned directly by governments and involve a fair amount of effort to get access to. Those run a mixture of the above kinds of jobs (for the target community) as well as actual large scale simulations. As for what they are simulating: Think about what would need really detailed simulations using codes and data that probably should never be near Amazon's servers.
Going digital is a big help. My legacy collection of books, CDs, DVDs or records still takes annoyingly much space and it's a pain in the butt when you move. Books are heavy!

I wish there was an easy way to instantly get a digital version of a book you own. Publishers always claim that you don't really own a book or record, it's just a license. I've already bought a license to read a novel or listen to an album, why can't I just transfer the license to a digital format without paying full price again?

And it's even more painful when you acknowledge that a lot of books are still unread, it's like a wall of shame of good intentions. Thankfully you can easily hide digital books in a subfolder.

Functional Event Sourcing meets the Elm Architecture
As someone who works in government, you're dead right about incompetence, and I would add 'ignorance'. These are the two things I have seen do the most harm, by an extremely large margin. And I think it's inexcusable.

I'd argue the same thing for corporations as I would for governments: we shouldn't tolerate individuals, occupying some powerful position, who harm others due to their own 'ethical carelessness'. In fact, that seems like a reasonable standard to apply to individuals, full stop. Individuals should be held accountable for their actions; we shouldn't shunt the blame to some incorporeal concept (i.e. 'governments', 'corporations').

I guess that's theoretically possible, according to Landauer's principle [1]. It's hard to say if it will ever be feasible. It feels like we are running into some serious limitations, since CPUs don't seem to be getting any faster. The CPU will probably have to be totally redesigned from the ground up, using different chemicals, and perhaps light instead of electricity. Or maybe some insane molecular structure computed and created via genetic algorithms and machine learning. Evolution did it to form our brains, so it's definitely possible.

I'm not sure how to do the calculation to find the minimum amount of power required for 130 petaflops, but it seems like it's well within the capacity of today's mobile batteries.

> Curry-Howard is not known to apply to Java and C++. That's because the typing systems of these languages are no logics. For a start, in both languages, you can write non-terminating programs, hence any type is inhabited, which means inconsistency if you interpret types as truth-bearing propositions. Currently Curry-Howard mostly only works for strongly normalising, pure functional languages.

As far as I'm aware, a complicated, inscrutable, unsound logic is still a logic. It's debatable whether it's a useful logic, but even that's not a fatal flaw for these languages, seeing as their main design focus is making normalisation of programs/proofs convenient.

I suppose the two perspectives of Curry-Howard aren't so much about proving/programming as they are about caring-about-the-theorem/caring-about-the-proof. The existence of non-termination is a problem if you care about theorems, since you can't trust proofs and must deal with them manually to see if they're doing anything fishy.

Java and C++ care so much about proofs that they don't really understand what else you might want to do other than dealing with proofs (programs) manually. If you presented a C++ programmer with an automated theorem prover (given a C++ type signature, return a C++ program fragment of that type) I imagine they wouldn't be particularly impressed, since types are just one small part of the concerns that a C++ programmer has.

Show HN: Pepin Video Player with comparisons, gapless, scrubbing and annotations
I have a very simple, possible naive use case (I'm bad at designing stuff and don't know much about that "world") that I struggled with last time I tried Unity. I imported from a variety of formats/tools...so maybe there's an easy way of doing this with Blender/Unity that I'm not aware of.

I want to create a model of some real world item (say a simple 2mx2m block for arguments sake) using the exact sizes of the object. Then I want to import it in Unity and have the size stay correct. Iirc one base unit in Unity is 1mx1m so if I make a 2mx2m block I'd like it to be imported and displayed as 2 unity units...for some reason the conversions lead to all sorts of bizzaro size adjustments. Must be a Unity thing but that was a rather frustrating experience.

iPhone 6 here. Have experienced exactly this issue since upgrading to iOS 10 (and 10.1)

The battery will drain extremely fast (typically lasts about half a day, with light usage), and will randomly and suddenly die when reporting 20, 30, or even 50 percent remaining.

The unpredictability of when the phone will completely die makes this problem particularly frustrating.

Connecting a charger cable results in it immediately reporting 20/30/50 percent battery again.

Have already had a Genius bar appointment to resolve. The 'Geniuses' ran the usual battery diagnostics, and said the battery was close to their 80% threshold, but were adamant a full restore would resolve the issue. They were rude and dismissive, and point-blank refused to replace the battery, or handset.

I did a software restore, and lo and behold, still have the issue.
