So if you have a rare-earth metal commodity ETF that can be dug from the ground in conflict areas and have exchange markets in these wild areas, would the SEC deny that commodity ETF then because they wouldn't have surveillance-sharing agreements with those markets?

Thanks for sharing your story.

I think addiction, like depression or war, can segment life into "before" and "after" periods. Before you experience it, you have valid and interesting ideas. After you go through it, however briefly, you become humbled and scared by how you can be controlled by an ugly force, even as you fight it with the most focused energy of your life. After that, the dictatorial "I have been sober for x" makes visceral sense, and you never ever think to suggest "just one to celebrate this special occasion?"

"It could never happen to me", and then it does. You find your siren, and often it's not even a drug.

Given that you are the tech lead on AMP at Google, maybe you can clarify a bit on this...but why the decision to group this interaction under Sharing? It seems like people are trying to just visit the original site, not share it, and one of the big criticisms has been that this is buried. Presumably putting it under Sharing is also a bit confusing because to many, "sharing" implies sending content to someone which describes a very different interaction than opening the original page.

Is it because "Sharing" in this case us meant to imply pushing the content to another medium (such as an external browser) vs. just the implied meaning of "sharing with another person?"

I'd love any context you can share from internal discussions around how prominent to make that functionality. I think it is hard to deny that Google benefits from it being harder to find, which is where the criticism from the parent is likely coming from.

They don't know because they aren't trying but i'm guessing its basically nearly 100% of the population. Its sort of a mathematical x degree's of separation problem. They monitor a few tens (hundreds?) thousand suspects, the direct contacts of said suspects and maybe or to two levels more. So its what 3-4 degrees of separation? Given that "direct contact" likely also means that anyone found in proximity of the suspects for any length of time and its basically everyone, after all you want to tract the contacts the suspects have with people on the park bench. People forget that "metadata" isn't just phone calls these days, its your cellphone pinging the tower with "I'm at location x" messages every few seconds.

I agree with this.

We've been looking at pricing services suggested in this thread, and we've been self-selecting away from the extremely expensive services (e.g. Price Intelligently [1]), as that indicates that the service is targeted towards large enterprises, and not small SaaS companies.

Conversely, if the services were priced lower, that would probably scare off large enterprises.

> Second off a lot of the high cost of living has nothing to do with solving hard problems

Actually, it's directly related. People who solve hard problems at companies that value that sort of thing make a lot of money. Generally, people who make a lot of money want to live in nice areas. Nice areas become expensive as housing gets bid up by high earners.
By looking at the home page, I'm unable to tell how you are collecting feedback in a usable way for the client. My suggestion is to explain in a few sentences how exactly it works and why that process is good for the client. What does it look like when it gets back to the paying customers. There are too many questions left unanswered, but should be within you landing page, about us, contact, and maybe a "start here" page. Adding additional basic pages gives you more space to sell the value you're offering. After I finished the landing page, I had no where else to go for more info and didn't really want to try it out.
Isn't gold traded on commodities exchanges, which are regulated?

Note that the CFTC, which regulates commodities futures trading, is (or was?) considering regulating digital currencies:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commodity_Futures_Trading_Comm...

However, it doesn't seem like they've come to a decision yet.
Here's the basic thing: Bitcoin is fatally flawed. Is it meant to be a payment method (in which case an ETF or otherwise treating it as an investment vehicle is roughly as nonsensical as having an ETF that deals with blank checks) or is it an investment (and if it's an investment, what on earth are people investing in?). The volatility of Bitcoin plus the constrained supply leading towards upwards pressure on the price of bitcoins mean that it's a deflationary currency and deflation is a bad thing as it creates an incentive to not spend. This means that the only real reason to spend Bitcoin or otherwise use it as a payment is for situations where that's the only option and right now, and for the foreseeable future, that means assorted illegal or at best borderline illegal products, which gives it a halo if unrespectability that the Winkelvoss twins are not going to erase. Perhaps a blockchain-based cryptocurrency might in the future resolve these issues, but otherwise it's a doomed product that I wouldn't put a single penny (or watt of household electricity) into.
Probably everyone rushing to sell.
As opposed to Bitcoin, where the statement is sometimes along the lines of "lost 30% of its value since 20:13"?
This is very similar to our earlier work on the security of MAC address randomization: http://papers.mathyvanhoef.com/asiaccs2016.pdf They provide some more practical details if you want to implement our probe request fingerprint tracking mechanism. This is a passive tracking technique.

Their method to track all devices requires actively sending packets for every single MAC address that is being tracked. The (imperfect) passive tracking techniques can be used to reduce the number of MAC addresses you have to try though. Nice finding overall! And it will likely be hard to patch this issue..

Sometimes there are also silly driver bugs that allow you to get the real MAC address of a device when the user is using a spoofed MAC address :) http://www.mathyvanhoef.com/2013/11/unmasking-spoofed-mac-ad...

>Unfortunately, I was elected to a tutorial fellowship at Merton, my old college in Oxford, and was submerged in the pressures of Oxford tutorial life, so that my Freedom of the Will was not published until 1970. It is not very different from the original article, but does meet some of the criticisms first leveled against it, and sets the Godelian argument in a more general context. Perhaps two points I make in the book are worth reiterating. Professor Minsky spent some time yesterday criticizing Professor Margenau saying that he had misunderstood the import of quantum mechanics. I think actually the misunderstanding was on Professor Minsky's part and that he had failed to understand the structure of Professor Margenau's argument. Quantum mechanics is relevant to the problem of the will because it has replaced classical Newtonian physics which seemed to rule it out. It does not of itself prove free will - lots of quantum mechanical systems have no free will - but it disproves a disproof of it. In my book I referred to speculations on whether quantum mechanics might be replaced by a more determinist theory - a "Hidden Variable Theory" as it is called, and Von Neumann's argument against it. Since then the argument has progressed much further. Von Neumann's proof has been proved and criticized, and a whole series of results have been obtained - Bell's inequalities, Gleason's Theorem, Kochen-Specher Theorem, the two-color theorem: and four years ago Aspect concluded some experiments in Paris, which seemed to rule out any prospect of a hidden variable theory. So it seems to me that Professor Margenau was quite right to see quantum mechanics as bearing on the freewill problem, not as proving that it exists but as, in Plantinga's terminology, defeating a defeater.

further, Lucas proposed the following:

1. Determinism ↔ For any human h there exists at least one (deterministic) logical system L(h) which reliably predicts h's actions in all circumstances.

2. For any logical system L a sufficiently skilled mathematical logician (equipped with a sufficiently powerful computer if necessary) can construct some statements T(L) which are true but unprovable in L. (This follows from Gödel's first theorem.)

3. If a human m is a sufficiently skilful mathematical logician (equipped with a sufficiently powerful computer if necessary) then if m is given L(m), he or she can construct T(L(m)) and
Determine that they are true—which L(m) cannot do.

4. Hence L(m) does not reliably predict m's actions in all circumstances.

5. Hence m has free will.

6. It is implausible that the qualitative difference between mathematical logicians and the rest of the population is such that the former have free will and the latter do not.
First time I've even heard of this honestly, but my reaction is sort of "meh". Might have been interesting had it gone through, but I don't see how it changes much of anything that it didn't either. The courts ruling seems fairly reasonable as well in that bitcoin is a relatively unregulated commodity (in as much as a currency not controlled by any government is unregulated) so I can't really say the ruling was unfair. Given a choice between increased regulation of bitcoin and allowing the exchange to go forward vs. keeping the current relatively lax regulation and no exchange, I'm of the opinion no exchange is the better option.

There's also the minor fact that a significant chunk of wallstreet already treats most of the bitcoin markets like commodity exchanges anyway. A significant driver of the massive instability in the bitcoin market is directly attributable to wallstreet treating bitcoin as a commodity. One possible upside of having an actual commodity exchange is that it might have helped stabilize some of that by decoupling the speculation from the actual bitcoin market a little, but I guess we'll never know at this point.

Do the math and you'll find dental insurance is a ripoff. Additionally, while some people can't afford much of anything, others who complain about the cost of dental care, buy things as or more expensive because they value those things more: Big screen TV for example. They don't value dental care as much, until they are in pain. Then they expect an entitlement. People pay for what they want. Dental insurance is a subsidy, not insurance. Delta Dental of CA has over $600,000,000 invested in tradable securities. They didn't pack away that much money giving away dentistry for free.

*KE == kinetic energy

kinetic energy: "energy of an object is the energy that it possesses due to its motion. It is defined as the work needed to accelerate a body of a given mass from rest to its stated velocity. Having gained this energy during its acceleration, the body maintains this kinetic energy unless its speed changes."

in normal person terms: the energy of moving, or ~exercise, in a parallel world :)

> Are you thinking of a specific concrete 16-bit architecture where it's easy to access data objects larger than 64K?

Your question implies that you want one piece > 64 KiB of flat memory. With this you already stated a very strong implicit assumption about the data layout and the kind of algorithm that you want to use. My point rather is: Consider the capabilities that the 16b machine has and try to fit the data representation and algorithms that you use around it instead of wining about lack of machine capabilities. One will often find a solution using clever tricks that one would not have considered otherwise, which will often turn out to be surprisingly elegant and much better than the "naive" solution.

This way to program is of course nothing for the kind of programmer that want to write an unelegant and just working program in a short amount of time, I know. :-)

Google amp could play an important role in the future if net neutrality changes significantly. It also brings up some questions about whose content you're actually reading if Google is acting as a middle man between producer and consumer. In the worst case scenario, the amp'd version of a page could be different from what the original author intended.
> There are too many factors obfuscating the landscape in real markets

On the one hand, yes, but on the other hand, machine learning gives us a powerful set of tools to analyse these factors, which we could use to come up with a model that learns from the market to predict consumer surplus (but you're right about the naive economist approach).
Citus Cloud uses that approach. I designed it with the arithmetic from the page about gp2, http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/EBSVolume....

A useful inflection is the "minimum size for max throughput" at 214GiB. That same disk would also offers 38 minutes at the maximum throughput at 3000PIOPs. After that, performance will drop to about a fifth: that's the baseline for a 214GiB disk. Another important thing to consider that large contiguous reads and writes on EBS are up to 256KiB per IOP: most bulk transfers take up far fewer IOPS than people normally calculate.

For most workloads, Burst Is Good: for a fixed amount of money, you'll be able to obtain meaningfully better responsiveness in a program. Few workloads are pushing the maximum IOPS all the time. If you need more baseline IOPS you can make gp2 disks bigger or add more disk, depending on whether you find bandwidth has been saturated or not.

I suppose gold does get used for something.
So yeah, it looks like this ruling will prevent any commodity linked ETF from being approved without surveillance on a regulated exchange.

So that's not likely not gonna happen ever. The ruling kills any other bitcoin/virtual asset ETF from getting approved as well.

In contrast [with Ibogaine], all other known SERT inhibitors are competitive with substrate (28). These competitive inhibitors include several compounds that also inhibit the closely related dopamine and norepinephrine transporters
