$45.71 for how long? They'll need more money each year, surely,yes?
Whole fields have been devoted to defining science; I don't think experiment is necessary to the scientific endeavor. Experiments in many fields, for example, often suffer from problems related to generalizability or applicability to real-world scenarios. It's a major reason for observational science, although not the only one. Problems with replicability have also been shown to be just as endemic to fields dominated by experiments as those more influenced by observation, if not more so, across different scales of analysis from the molecular to the societal.

I think a better definition of what science is is broader, something like "logical argument based on empirical observations," although that too isn't right. I think the appeal of experiments is in line with that, to the extent that you accept that the experimental rationale involves a logical argument pertaining to randomization over potential confounds.

The underlying problem being discussed in the article, to me, is the denial by scientists that science is fundamentally a human endeavor, subject to all the problems of humans: things like greed, deceit, ideology, and so forth. Scientists like to pretend that they are somehow above all that, which means they pretend it doesn't exist, which makes the effects of human weaknesses in science all the more insidious. We see this play out with the problems in academics, financial conflicts of interest, and so forth.

What happens is that a certain cultural subgroup, already primed to be skeptical of science through their social context, recognizes the human weaknesses of science. They then make the mistake of rejecting science wholesale because of this. Scientists, in turn, often make the mistake of rejecting the notion of human influences on science, thereby placing undue confidence in their conclusions, leading to a lack of accountability or explanation when failures occur. Some degree of evolution in scientific theory is due to random variation, or lack of appropriate data, but some of it is due to human factors.
That was nice of you to reply to the troll, but probably not worth your time.
You're already paying $36/year and dealing with ads.

Going ad-free and getting sixteen extra minutes per hour of additional television content isn't worth an extra $9 every year?
How is it fraud? No one told them to make fake accounts. Even the most naive person knows that making a fake account is wrong. 5000 people did the wrong thing. To me it seems like people are blaming the top for widespread moral bankruptcy at the bottom.
That would actually be perfect for long range interstellar probes. A constant source of energy for thousands of years, even that small, would propel a craft to reasonably high speeds. Give a spacecraft a few pounds and you'd have something really great.

Tips for Success in Undergraduate Math Courses (2002)
From my experience most PhD students haven't published anything before grad school.

To check whether this the case for your situation, you can browse websites of current Stanford students if your target discipline and check whether they published anything before their first year of graduate school.
There is some pretty obviously advice in here; basically take notes and do your homework for the sake of comprehension and not merely completion. But, "keep a list of hard problems" is pretty good advice that, I think, most people do not adhere to.
Specifically, projects Orion and Daedalus are based on nuclear pulse propulsion[0], which is essentially detonating thermodynamic bombs behind the spacecraft. It's one of the only realistic options we currently have to do interstellar exploration. There was a discussion on HN not too long ago[1].

Great article thanks for sharing.
Yeah, me too. However, I think we should wait for the formal verification of Rust to be completed before trying this. While it is possible to make something SPARKish without complete formal verification, it's probably better to build it using concepts learned during the formal verification.
The magical disappearing UI “without” framework
Hmm does ntpsec only test their website with Chrome? Firefox says "Secure Connection Failed ... The OCSP server suggests trying again later." I guess that's one of the reasons Chrome TLS devs say online (looked-up on-demand) certificate revocation is useless.

I think your bicycle/oracle distinction is interesting. It seems like the tradeoffs in preferring a bicycle to an oracle are similar to considerations leading up to decisions not to abstract. If we could assume the oracle would fulfill its function perfectly, there would be no real reason to prefer the bicycle; unfortunately, however, experience shows us that the internals of complex black boxes we construct are rarely perfect, and that opening the box may be necessary, and unpleasant. On the other hand, with a bicycle, a feeling of control remains throughout: it's always understood how some action on the bicycle will evolve the state of your situation. The downside for the bicycle is that its definition requires it to remain relatively simple.

My first thought for getting around this was something like formal verification that a black box does what it says—but once 'what it says' is too complex for a person to really understand (e.g. a black box containing the behavior of a human brain), you've hit a wall with this approach.

The other thing I can imagine is building up 'bicycles' which have parts of proven-correct medium complexity, arranged together in a single higher-level system also of proven-correct medium complexity (where medium complexity is: more complex than bike parts, but still with readily human-comprehensible semantics). I'd characterize these systems as sort of like Iron Man suits. Maybe that doesn't really add anything of practical benefit beyond the original bicycle analogy though ;)
Assuming linear scalability, size that up to a 100kg power source, and you've got enough power to run radio repeaters that could outlast civilization.

It's actually $11 extra per year.

And no, it isn't remotely because I don't consume it. I'd rather the whole amount be removed.

CBC should be running in the private marketplace just like everyone else, considering the type of news coverage they tend to provide and the generally low quality entertainment they create. Tax payers paying for it seems like a complete waste of money. Just flushing money down the drain.
Yes, it's extremely different. Comparing credit scores to China's political score is so nonsensical it's almost a joke.

They are both scores which are used for a variety of purposes. That's as far as the similarity goes.

The credit bureaus have a tiny slice of information. In reality, they know almost nothing about you besides your debts. They certainly don't know your politics.
Your interpretation is correct. I am going to fix this ambiguity.
Manufacturing jobs being offshored is an incorrect narrative. Much of the manufacturing capacity has actually returned to the US but does not employ many people because it modern manufacturing is so productive and efficient that orders of magnitude fewer people are needed.

There is also a critically important moral angle in that any one country dominating manufacturing internationally as the US and Germany do makes things more difficult for emerging countries as opportunities have been limited by big players.

Beyond that it is not clear that jobs are truly desirable. The economy no longer generates enough opportunity to keep people employed. One of the biggest employers of the middle class is the trucking industry which is being automated. This is essentially inevitable and will improve safety and productivity. Looking realistically we have to question a system that encourages people to work to the point that their ties to friends and family fall away and drowsy driving has become an epidemic. Given the huge percentage of the workforce that is tuned out at work and present without being engaged with purpose the idea that work was ever a good thing needs to be questioned. In any case the old days where anyone with skills and ambition could find work that would support them and their family are gone and now more than ever we need to account for those who don't have skills or ambition or discipline.

This is the real challenge for the empathic: How do we look to an age where work is no longer at the core of our society?

> I'm supposed to pay $45.71 so other people can listen to the radio ad-free?

Yes. It's part of the basic compact we call a civil society where we don't insist on a direct line between tax dollars paid and personally-felt value gained, because we trust that the larger, more comprehensive value of a strong civil society is worth more than $45.71.

Which Canadian TV news channel is markedly less biased than CBC?
Canada just HAS to go and do EVERYTHING right...
Exactly. It's a serious problem in the UK but I don't think the BBC is exempt.

We have private papers like The Telegraph, whose chief political editor resigned due to pressure from advertisers:

https://www.opendemocracy.net/ourkingdom/peter-oborne/why-i-...

But the BBC is part of the establishment, regularly running property porn shows and glossing over the financial crisis.

I have no solution, I just wanted to point out that national broadcasters are not "for the people" all the time. The BBC basically got beaten down by Blair who made the BBC chase ratings which was the perfect way to dumb it down and neuter it after they opposed the Iraq war. Having a "popular" national broadcaster is truly pointless because if they can compete on ratings they can derive their revenue from adverts. Just another thing in the UK that has been subtly eroded.
> mem::forget-pocalypse was this.

I would say that this is from a time when the invariants were not understood. In particular, the fact that leaking is safe to do in safe code was not known.

(The invariants are still not completely understood, but there's work to specify that, and IMO they're understood enough to be able to avoid unsafe bugs)

> BTreeMap::range still has an UB bug from trusting the caller!

Fair :) I'd completely forgotten about that one.
This is the real question here. Unless the mice can explain itself to us, we really have no way to know. But I'm not so sure about the ethics of conducting such experiments on humans.
I purchased one used, mostly to see what it is like but also to have as a backup phone Just In Case. The hardware is a mixed bag: the screen is gorgeous, the keyboard is a bit narrow but allows for very accurate typing, the back of the case is flimsy, and the CPU is underwhelming. The software is great though! You get a very up to date (second only to Google brand phones w.r.t. security updates) OS and the Blackberry software (like Hub) is an actual improvement over the stock Android experience.

Basically, if you want a secure Android phone and wouldn't mind trading older hardware for a physical keyboard, it is the phone for you. Otherwise, you might want to look at a Pixel device.

As to security at the hardware level, I'm not aware of the PRIV featuring anything special outside of the TrustZone TEE stuff that most recent Android phones have.
I wonder what the legality is about barring someone from an establishment based on a maximum age like that.

Well, the BBC does receive three times the public funding, so it's really not a fair comparison.
After 3 years of Xeon Phi I'm still waiting for OpenCL on Fortran with vector support so we can finally have a sane and performant programming model for these things. Instructions are neat, but the tooling support is just not there for widespread use IMO. If Intel had taken a more long term strategy oriented with OpenMP years ago, i.e. embracing accelerators of all kinds, instead of trying to hold on tight to it for market protection, I think they'd be in a better position now.

Additionally this graph explains why I've watched more fan translated Danish shows than Canadian TV. Low funding does not yield good TV.
I've been learning the Starting Strength approach, and although I'm hardly an expert yet, it makes a lot of sense to me. Look for the book by Rippetoe: http://amzn.to/2gAliEO Essentially it's barbell training using four exercises that each work multiple muscle systems together: the squat, the press, the bench press, the deadlift. It's about building strength, not losing weight, but you'll experience both of those things, and strength will really help with your back.

What appeals to me about the method is that it's based on solid thinking about the physics and physiology involved. The book is full of anatomical drawings that wouldn't be necessary and wouldn't be found in your average workout book. The creator really made a thorough study of strength training his life's work.
> I have a friend who refuses to uses banks and deals only in cash and ancient coins

I don't need a credit score to tell me I probably don't want this person as a tenant. They're a huge eviction risk (no system = no fallback for short-term cashflow issues), not to mention that I don't want to be dealing with hundreds of dollars in cash rent.
This business cycle started down well before the election. Many reported evidence of a big turnaround in August and September of 2015. Apartment prices we well known to be headed down in early 2016. What is happening in San Francisco and Silicon Valley has to do with macroeconomics and very little to do with politics.
I think there is merit to the argument that the government should do its best to not compete with private industry unless that competition is "fair" and warranted. Given that ad space is currently abundant and declining in value the "not warranted" part is pretty clear and that a public broadcaster need not run at a profit the "fair" part is a pretty good point too.

They are not considering "funding" private media so much as no longer undermining it to some (I think small) extent. (I am largely undecided on this point myself.)
I was purely providing a speculative explanation, not a justification. Nor do I think some calculus balancing good posts versus bad posts is being done by the mods. If you read me as implying either, that wasn't in any way my intent nor my position.
While I'd love this too, let us not forget that Wall St. executives did FAR worse (created a scheme which crashed the economy) and aside from few low level execs, no one faced any serious prosecution. Conning investors of their money and potentially giving patients faulty medical advice is deplorable, but not even remotely as damaging as the aforementioned. I won't be holding my breath.
Keep in mind this list is about gifts, and so naturally the companies on it won't do run-of-the-mill stuff.

(Because it's relevant, not as agreement or disagreement with any particular point.)
In pushing for jail time for this particular CEO, Elizabeth Warren is barking up the wrong tree. Stumpf made mistakes in setting incentives and monitoring staff culture, but there is no evidence he committed fraud. The bank overcharged customers $2 million dollars and paid a $185 million settlement. That seems reasonable to me.

More worryingly, the bank also seems to have harassed and blacklisted whistleblower employees. No doubt it will have to pay a hefty settlement and class-action lawsuits, but again the CEO is guilty only failing to monitor bank culture. There was nothing malicious or criminal in his actions.

The number of fake accounts created by the bank - 1.5 million! - is irrelevant. I run a business and can create a billion customer accounts in seconds without harm to anyone else. What matters is how much damage the bank did to others - in this case the bank has already paid a fine proportional to that damage.

Instead of going after a hapless CEO and a company that has already paid a huge settlement for a relatively small error, Elizabeth Warren should focus her attention on banks which overinflated the value of their mortgages before selling them on to other banks or Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae. In such cases we're talking a fraud involving billions of dollars, that led to worldwide financial recession, and where perhaps the CEO had direct knowledge of the fraud.

Perhaps freedom from advertisers' influence will have a positive affect on this (I'm not placing any bets though).
Some microcontrollers use under 0.2 watts, which would be 153 grams of this material. So there are at least some potential applications. If you combined that with a bistable LCD display, could you make a clock/thermometer/whatever that would run almost indefinitely (until the Carbon-14 ran out, that is)?
The price sounds low. My initial question, "doesn't NHL advertising alone come close to this?" seems to be answered already.

NTP is more analogous to an SMTP server, HTTP server or any of the other myriad servers anyone can run on the internet with absolutely no vetting. The CA system is something different entirely. If you're confident that an NTP server is safe, don't use it. The same you would do with a potentially malicious website.
That link would possibly make a worthy HN submission. I'd upvote it. I perused a bit for a reference to facial-recognition but found nothing. It would integrate frightfully well. I often irritate clerks when attempting to purchase alcohol, I refuse to allow them to scan my driver-license. One such row at a 711 lead me to contact corporate HQ, where they assured me their policy was on my side and that per request, the clerk was obligated to do the math and apply a visual analysis of the ID. This is something I do on principle and in consideration of possible data abuse - not to be a prick. But most clerks become quite indignant, even when I try to politely explain that until I read a company policy expressly stating that my data isn't logged or used for any other purposes beyond validating my age, I prefer to not take the risk. "Get out!" she said to me, and some other things too.

No, it amounts to assets, either financial or concrete (e.g., real property). And there's nothing special about the "post-Bretton Woods US". Financial assets are not the same thing as financial services.

On the contrary, I've often seen the "you can't beat the compiler" statement. This[1] recent reddit thread has it in the top comment, which is what prompted me to test it out.

And while all those other points are fine points (and I mention all that in the conclusion), it doesn't change the fact that beating the compiler isn't always the rocket science it's made out to be.

By that reasoning they are currently much less likely to bite the hands of all of their corporate advertisers.

Is a broadcasting company that's accountable to private corporations really preferable to one that's accountable to the public?
Let's look at the full "Creative Canada" proposal [1]. After reading through the full document, the arguments for moving away from advertising seem to focus on financial stability (page 6) [1]:

"Depoliticize CBC/Radio-Canada funding so that it
is predictable and stable, tied to the existing five-year
licence cycle, indexed to inflation, and separated from
the election and annual government budget cycles.
This would be similar to how the BBC now operates.
Indexation is critical – without it, inflation of just 1.5%
per year would erode the new government funding of
$150 million to zero in just six years."

Yet, let's also look at the cultural arguments being made (page 29) [1]:

"Our focus would be more firmly on the needs of citizens,
creators and our industry partners without the constant
preoccupation of monetizing each of our initiatives.

It would create greater opportunities to find and nurture
new talent. It would create more room for distinct
Canadian programming, made by Canadians, featuring
Canadians and telling the stories Canadian creators want
to tell.

We would focus less on commercial return and more on
cultural impact, exploring more ways to help Canadian
content and creators thrive and grow. We would be able
to commission programming that takes risks and has
the time to find an audience without being overly driven
by the need to deliver immediate success."

Advertising can take many forms. Let's take a closer look at the BBC, whose model is frequently referenced. Does this proposed "ad-free" model include a restriction on the shows themselves to avoid product placement? Does this include an obligation to blur, mute, bleep, or cut brands? The BBC allows product placement [2]. Does this proposed model restrict sponsorships and sponsored messages? The BBC also allows sponsorships, sponsorship credits, and limited messages by sponsors [2].

Now, with broader questions: will there be a ban on home shopping shows (think QVC)? Will there be a ban on infomercials? Will overlay commercials (the small banners that run during shows) be banned?

If other forms of advertising, such as those permitted by BBC, are still allowed, the broadcaster will still have commercial pressures. If shows are allowed to sell product placement and sponsorships, Canadian creators will still be under pressure for short-term monetization. What restrictions does CBC actually propose? I wish I could answer, but there are none. Without closing the earlier mentioned loopholes, CBC will not be ad free and will therefore be unable to fully achieve its cultural goals.
