Average makes bad estimations for non linear phenomenon. And nothing can be done about it.

Math 101.

And what could be better? Well, nothing we don't have the math for that problem in the first place. If we had, we could predict weather accurately with a time window bigger than 24hours...

24 hours is the accuracy weather forecasts are having since decades even with Moore laws multiplying the power of processors...

Even by throwing more money and engineers at them some problems cannot be solved.

The only way to average non linear phenomenon is to scale the problem to an extra large population or make prediction on ultra short time.

Actually I guess that if users were seeing there battery lifetime sucked dramatically every time they use WiFi, or GPU it would create an adverse effect on computer users of making them anxious (human beings are weird animals) and some of them would use less their computers.

Imagine if SUV were showing an estimation of mileage dropping sharply when you make a big acceleration? People would stop accelerating like mad men, hence it would kill the SUV/sport car market. You don't want to kill a really good and rational economy, do you?

Sellers don't want you to be economical in your use of anything, else it kills the market as sure as a pair of crocs lasts for years.

We live in an era where consumers and producers want to use moar resources, moar energy and feel good about it, not anxious.

Does the planet have limited resources, is it irresponsible?

No! Let's throw more money and engineers at a problem and we surely can solve it.

I guess immortality and super powers are just around the corner. lol.

Is it? I thought most people used pseudonyms anyway.
Perhaps. Some reports by varied users really do claim improved battery life on the new 2016 model, so perhaps, especially with this last macOS update a few days ago, I'd actually get more than 12 hours now. Who knows, I ain't buying this first iteration of the 2016 model. But when I gave it a try at the store, I must admit I liked the feel a lot. The battery and graphics issues, and my unwillingness to deal with dongles (for now), and the extra 400 euros, led me to the proven 2015 design.

This page is simply translating the earlier page to hindi, am I right?

Is there anyway to get the (top/currently trending) search terms typed out in hindi?

Eg: See [0]. While Flipkart is an often searched term on google, फ्लीपकारट (same word in hindi), is hardly ever searched. Similary, search frequencies of नौकरी, naukri and job are also very different (all three mean job, first one pure hindi, second is phonetically same as the first and can be termed as hinglish).

Similary, the english terms currently trending in india will be very different from the ones that were looked up in Hindi. And AFAIK, there's no way to see popular keywords by adding a specific filter on the input language used.

> Why is information from your mind, like your phone passphrase, significantly different from other information to your mind, like the location of a physical key?

In the USA because of the Fifth Amendment which protects individuals from being forced to incriminate themselves. [1]

Other (civilised) countries have similar laws.

Which makes something like the UK law which forces an individual to reveal their private key, at conflict.

Specifically about my own country, The Netherlands recently adopted a revision of the computer criminality law (it being v3 of it). It is called the 'hack back law' because one major part of it is it allows the police to hack suspects. That's not all it is about though. Of note, the part scrapped was the one about a suspect being forced to hand over their private key.

"There is no reasonable reason why we should fear aliens."

If you'll allow me to strawman you a bit, I've always found such arguments facile at best. They seem to reason from something akin to this "As mankind has become more advanced, he has grown from being tribalistic and violent to understanding that fear itself is more dangerous than actual external threats"

Yes, but we've never actually reached such nirvana except in our imaginations. Instead, history has shown us all sort of intelligent and evolved populations both being the perpetrators and victims of indiscriminate violence. In addition, looking at how humans develop and what we know of species in general on the planet, there's never any reason to be afraid of anything -- until there is. That's the problem with induction and not knowing enough about the greater universe. Things are always fine and dandy for the turkey until Thanksgiving comes.

It's extremely problematic to speculate about alien beings. I note, however, that we tend to think in terms of aliens having some sort of policy towards humans: they want to eat us, they want to conquer us, and so on.

Assuming we are just a few rungs up the evolutionary ladder from pond scum, it's much more likely that we're not important at all -- and that if there were some terrible interaction with aliens, it would probably be akin to a man accidentally kicking over an anthill on his way to work than some sort of dramatic invasion or intervention. The scariest thing about potential technologically superior alien beings isn't that they are hostile. It's that they're completely apathetic and have better things to do. Which takes care of Fermi's Paradox quite nicely.

I think the article's implication is pretty clear that it's trying to enumerate countries which possess/control nuclear weapons, not stationed. I doubt the political leader of Neatherlands can trigger those American weapons stationed on its territory.

During the cold war American weapons were certainly deployed in Europe and elsewhere and some very likely still are.

I've maintained a blog and help a friend who owns a business promote on Facebook.

Both are in French.

>- Lack of clarity about SEO rules in this regard. Eg: Will Spanish content rank higher than english one if I search in spanish? Or will google do a combined (transliterated) search and rank the best?

In my experience, it will rank higher. My blog had one post (how to get a debit card from a certain bank). It was a few years ago and people are still commenting on it (I think 1000 comments). When it was self hosted, it was ranked higher than the bank itself for the combination (card + bank name + country) if I recall correctly.

The important thing is that it was comprehensive enough so the bloggers, geeks, members of different forums in the country started sharing this link, calling it a "gift", etc. I haven't done any promotion. Basically just write and forget. Content quality is a sine qua non condition.

>Top Trends show what is being searched for in english. No option to see search top trends by language . Any way around this?

* Go to Google Trends.

* Now search for any string, like "fdsfjqklm".

* The resulting will have a drop down menu with countries it didn't have on the first page.

* Choose a country.

* Remove the search string.

Or, this link. If I want what people in Spain are looking for, here: https://www.google.com/trends/explore?geo=ES

Let's say people in Venezuela:
https://www.google.com/trends/explore?geo=VE

Thailand: https://www.google.com/trends/explore?geo=TH

As you can see, it shows what people are looking and not just in English but in their native language as well. It's not what you asked for, but still not too shabby because you can think about Spanish countries and then do a search, or write a script that will do that for you for every Spanish speaking country.

>- Even if its a non-english website, what are best the practices for URLs? Should they still be in english or can we use the regional language?

You don't seem to appreciate just how good it is to have non English content:

* There are a lot of people who don't speak English in every country.

* The bang for the bug in advertising is just great. 10,000 impressions cost about $1 for the French page. Sometimes, it is so low, Facebook displays it as 0. If it were in English, all this would be lost to click farms in India, Pakistan, or Egypt. (I've had a page in English, and it was cluttered with people who would just like that page and had nothing to do with the stuff in it). So, having a page not in English is great.
Ray Dalio – Reflections on the Trump Presidency, One Month After the Election
Well you're not going to like when I say this.

Cryptography isn't Computer Science. It uses some things that Computer Science developed but it isn't Computer Science. It's applied Math.

If Cryptography is in CS then Nuclear Reactor Operations is in CS. NRO uses computers for monitoring systems and develops algorithms to detect certian... ahm... undesierable states. That doesn't mean we should move a reactor into the CS building at every college near you (although I'd love to work on one eventually, sounds like cool work).

Academics may think that crypto is a CS field but the work involved has absolutly nothing to do with CS. For example, all cryptographic functions can be implemented in hardware. If you are building a cryptographic function in hardware, you're not part of the Electical Engineering department or the Mechanical Engineering department you are still in the Math department because all you're doing is implementing an abstract design.

As someone who actually worked on software for submarines, I can attest to all the machines not being connected to the internet. I had to have a separate laptop with me at all times so I could do google searches.

To be clear, Haskell absolutely supports shared mutable state, even in sophisticated ways like transactional memory.

It's also mostly straightforward to implement a fast Quicksort using mutable arrays in Haskell.

The difference is that all that stuff is formulated within a theory based on pure evaluation of functional expressions.

Loosely speaking it's like how the math that physics uses doesn't have mutable variables, but it still manages to express time varying phenomena...
Happy Christmas Mr Sock.

I see what you're saying but am still not sure the traits you've described are separable from the psychology of men and women. I think the author would have been more balanced had she compared and contrasted 4chan with its opposite, tumblr.

There might be men on tumblr and women on 4chan but it always struck me that tumblr was somehow psychologically female and 4chan was intrinsically male. If you did a genomic survey of their users you would surely find the allele frequency was very different.

4chan can be pathologically cruel while tumblr exhibits every impulse a Victorian doctor would associate with hysteria. It's also interesting how 4chan is self aware they are 'raiding' (for the greater lulz), which I think is the instinct of hunter related genes, while tumblr is ground zero for spreading information about 'Outrage of the Week' and does not consider its participants as part of a mob action even while urging 'somebody do something'. These are very gendered characteristics.

Men and women respond to 'being thrown out by the tribe' differently. To be thrown under the bus is a bigger deal for a woman than a man. That is why tumblr's infamous SJW culture is so often purging their ranks of people who don't totally conform.

On the other side 4chan's raiding parties do indeed target outgroups from their tribe. It is not weird that alt-right has a 'spiritual' connection to 4chan. I don't like the term 'hate group' because it has lost meaningfulness but if they are then it is a broad church where the real requirement that validates you as a member is the extent of how much you dislike the outgroup. In fact you could be a member of the outgroup as long as you despise them enough!

I don't think 4chan or tumblr are evil or good. I think they are simply our human nature. The words are strongly overloaded because of the last western war but I also believe 4chan/tumblr are the embryonic form of the mass psychology that generated the political ideologies of communism and fascism. These are intrinsic parts of our makeup and we cannot really escape them. I treat them as collective survival instincts. Present society is concerned with the elimination of one or both, which is like trying to lift your feet from off the ground with your hands. If we genuinely want a positive future, we ought to be thinking about harnessing these instincts, not obliterating them. Right person, right place.

Computer design can't influance what you see but what you can implement.

If computers still only had 512bytes of memory we'd be writing programs different then today making a trade off of computation speed for ram size.

If CPUs didn't have pipelines then parallelized algorithms wouldn't be as important and I feel that mutli-CPU machines would have taken off to make room for other forms of parallelization.

As the GP says, Galileo's telescope didn't make the universe smaller or larger, it just let him see things in that universe. Nothing changed but what he was holding.
Do not assume technology has been rolled out just because an article was a while ago. The military deals with just upgrading a version number of software very seriously and it takes years to happen.

JVM is fast and supports productive languages (including Jython) which can easily interop without service abstractions. You leave more options on the table.

But like others have said, it's tempting and typical for developers to obsess about details that at worse will be a good problem to have (... like having to super scale). Worth making sure you're not one of them.

Assembly is very simple. That's it's saving grace.
> That's the risk of reading articles like the OP, where they show you a couple functional tricks in an imperative language that inherently can't give you the whole picture.

The other risk is that people (like me, a few years ago) are sufficiently convinced by these simple loop examples that they decide to apply them. This might (or might not) lead to greater functional aspirations which make "whole picture" much more interesting. You might get to free monads, but not before you've used a fold on a list.

How did Hillary became the prime candidate even when it was Bernie that had high turnout? DNC leadership favored Hillary blindly, thats why. If the leadership was neutral Bernie would've been the main candidate by popular vote. If the race was between Bernie and Trump, Bernie would've win.

Not to mention that all most all media channels were bashing anything Trump but actively not reporting bad things about Hillary. Even the slightest negative about Trump got coverage whereas Hillary was safe from such media bashing. If Trump and Hillary where given neutral and equal coverage, then Trump would've gotten even higher vote.
It also helps to understand history.

If you know that people didn't know some science/math at a time, it makes it clearer why they acted in some way.

> extremely inefficient use of one's time and money if the goal is higher level development

Have you ever written an assembler?

Have you ever written a compiler?

An Assembler is far simpler then a compiler and after building the Assembler a compiler is an extremely strait forward next step as you've already finished the first quarter of what you need to do in a compiler. You've tokenized (broken the problem into small bits) and you've generated some opcodes. That's the perfect starting place for any systems programming background and a systems programming background is the perfect place to start out at higher level languages.

By the way 3/4 the battery wattage does not mean 3/4 the battery time. The new 2016 supposedly uses lower power consumption, especially with the display itself (which is where much of a battery goes). Which is why many people are getting longer battery life from a smaller battery (if you believe many of the reports out there, including by tech journals).

If you have to let the attacker control a direct substring of SQL, then use a whitelist of allowed characters – for tablenames, [a-zA-Z0-9_] is usually good enough, and then put that in quotes (as some databases reserve keywords such as "user" or "password", which is bad if you want to name columns like that).

I’ve had quite a few codebases I’ve worked on where I had to replace naive code [1], and until now, it’s always been easily possible to ensure that the entire space of possible inputs is limited enough to prevent SQL injections.

Sure, there are rare projects where you have to do such very complicated systems, but for 99%, it’s possible to get guaranteed protection from SQL injections.

It's natural that Apple designs a battery target for one usage. It's totally ok to tell '10hrs watching a movie', with actual figures being lower when doing other activities. PC competitors never ever hit the target, even for movie-watching, so we were perfectly happy to have 10 actual hours for one usecase.

Of course I don't get what customers gain from .07 nineteenth of an inch less of thickness. Next version Apple will provide a thinner macbook, with no battery, and the power supply will come from an NFC table...

If only your core logic had some straightforward invariants...

QuickCheck can work effectively with complex data structures.

For an example of a simple invariant that can still uncover subtle and important bugs:

encode(decode(X)) = X

Where encode and decode are some domain specific blobs of protocol logic. It's pretty useful to have the computer verify that isomorphism with a huge number of generated inputs.

(There's also SmallCheck which is like QuickCheck but checking all possible values within some depth limit, instead of random values.)

And there's no reason you couldn't use QuickCheck to verify a performance law, by the way.
