Are you an academic cryptographer? I'm not, but I'm a practicing crypto engineer, and I go to the occasional conference and workshop. What I've noticed is that crypto is far better about stuff like this than CS and certainly than infosec; I think it's a consequence of crypto being as much a part of mathematics as about computer science.

Faulty premise. The most violent areas in the USA have practically banned guns outright; areas which have liberalized gun possession by the law-abiding have seen violence plummet.

I know this sounds silly at first, but it's not if you are the one involved: the right to be armed allows you to protect 1/300,000,000th of the USA - you. That's pretty serious if you're being attacked and in fear of your life.

About 15 years ago, the US government started showing signs of wanting to ratchet up violent assault against dissidents of a certain stripe, executing SWAT/commando-type raids against citizens for paperwork violations (failure to document & pay a $200 tax). In two high-profile instances of such raids, the citizens fought back; many died, but the government agents suffered such losses that in the decades since, such "Gestapo tactics" have not been used. As such, armed citizens took a meaningful stand against the government, teaching it to use its police powers tactfully & sparingly,

What you, and many like you, fail to discern is the difference between armed law-abiding citizens vs armed criminals. The former aren't a problem, proven by the fact they have >200,000,000 firearms + trillions of bullets yet aren't a problem above statistical noise. The latter ARE a well-documented problem, and are by-definition quick to violate ANY law to obtain & retain the ability to kill as they see fit. The "line in the sand" is between those two groups; disarming the former only enables the latter by presenting no resistance.
Zelda at launch was a strong boost...and I suspect they will get another boost at holiday season when Super Mario Odyssey comes out. But there are a lot of months in between that are not filled in with much...

Since the console is not likely to get any 3rd party AAA games Nintendo is going to have to court nearly every indie dev + churn out as many first party titles as possible.

Also I'm hoping for a $50 price drop after Christmas...
> It is my understanding that the motivation in seeking out consensus algorithms with strong leaders (or equivalent) as opposed to horizontally weighted peer-to-peer ones is due to the performance penalty imposed by the latter in the general case.

Yeah, that was my understanding as well but without having read the paper in question (as of yet) I'm entirely short on the particular technical details of the trade-offs.
> How do they deal with that?

By pricing it in to the discounts in the first place. So smaller discounts. And by making sure their offerings are priced competitively to comparable products.
Harvey Mudd has a great college course https://www.math.hmc.edu/~su/math131/ on Real Analysis and they use Rudin's Principles of Mathematical Analysis which is a wonderful, all be it challenging text. Professor Su does a great job of explaining it all. I put a lot of math video/lecture information on my web site that I developed to try and give 'hackrrspace' members access to an engineering/physics degree without attending college--or supplementing a non-technical or associates degree. https://hackereducation.wordpress.com/hacker-education-conte...

What do you think crypto researchers are? It's not a cloak and dagger field. It's applied mathematics research. You've never seen a group of people less wrapped up in spycraft than the attendees of an academic crypto workshop. That's one of the things that made Appelbaum's admission to Dan and Tanja's research group so weird.

Think "math department", not Defcon.
It is very unlikely that you care about all 8GB of that email equally. What you're paying for when you back it all up is the ability to not have to pick and choose, and especially to avoid choosing incorrectly and permanently whacking something you want to keep. That's not a criticism; there's nothing wrong with that.

On the other hand, 1GB is pretty tight. I suspect there's a lot of people who could come up with 1GB of photos they don't care to part with, and coming up with 1GB of valuable home videos is child's play, even assuming efficient encodings of the video rather than the rather flabby stuff that tends to come straight out of consumer cameras or phones.

But I bet if most people had to fit the Family Jewels into 10GB, they could, just one more order of magnitude away. Of course HN will have a way-above-average number of people who have way-above-average video recordings and such. Or, perhaps more realistically, call it a single 32GB SD card. At the moment my "family jewels" clocks in at about 90GB, however, that is with no judgment whatsoever about what photos we keep and with a lot of the aforementioned "flabby" videos, not to mention, no judgment whatsoever about what videos we're keeping either.

Here's another quote from the article:

Intelligence sources told The Telegraph that both Mr Spicer and General McMaster, the US National Security Adviser, have apologised over the claims. "The apology came direct from them," a source said.

It's based on an anonymous source.

Here's another quote from that same article:

"Three intelligence sources have informed Fox News that President Obama went outside the chain of command - he didn't use the NSA, he didn't use the CIA, he didn't use the FBI and he didn't use the Department of Justice - he used GCHQ."

So we're going to discard what several anonymous sources said, but we will believe what some other anonymous source said?
You have your email on your computer? That's not very average.

It mostly comes down to how many photos you take, really.
What I really want to avoid is the mediocre content i.e. 2.0 - 3.5 stars, very good and very bad can both be entertaining..

Now that mediocre content will be scattered across the two categories I really care about; I guess IMDB/Rotten tomatoes will steer clear of this ridiculous binary rating systems.
You should write a blog entry on current theory, and post "I'm an expert, here are the current theory(ies), I will not debate about it", or point to a wikipedia page that is accurate in your opinion.
Netflix vs non Netflix content aside, the low amount of movies is a direct result of viewing data. TV shows are shorter so can be squeezed into smaller spaces for viewing and have longer plot lines to hook viewers. Can't blame them for putting there money where people waste their time.

The best way to rate a movie for me would be: when will I watch it again?

They kind of already know this though. (How many times have I watched a particular movie on Netflix?)
That's one way to see it. In my experience, those proxies in schools are a great way to motivate students to self-educate about how the internet works and about online privacy tools like TOR...
Well, it does also say:

I think you've got the premise of Basic Income back to front. No one is suggesting that handing out money creates wealth. Rather, the premise is that the system is imbalanced, that as things stand the money distribution is not an accurate representation of value provided.

Take Warren Buffet. Did he really contribute 76 billion dollars worth of value to society? I don't think so, and I don't think even Buffet himself does (he has said that to spend his vast accumulated fortune on himself would divert resources from important things). But once you make beyond a certain amount it's almost hard not to make more, without doing anything at all! Here's[1] an interesting personal account of this on our very own HN.

Conversely, someone at the bottom of the ladder can work 60-80 hour weeks in multiple jobs and barely make ends meet, let alone save.

I would even argue that an unemployed person actively seeking work is probably contributing various forms of value merely by existing - most obviously in the form of liquidity to the employment market, but also in all the other ways a living person is valuable - they listen and talk, make friends, form opinions, vote, and otherwise reinforce the fabric of society (hence why it is still a tragedy if such a person gets hit by a train, and a crime if they are murdered).

Moving further down still, when push comes to shove, most people would agree that even the most miserable, useless wretch does not deserve to die, if the resources for their survival are readily available. There is value, moral value, in compassion. A society that takes this view is spiritually wealthier.

So you have a scenario where, monetarily, the people at the top are systemically overvalued, and the people at the bottom systemically undervalued. This seems to be a deep property of the system that can't be fixed by fiddling taxes within the existing framework - money trickles up, where it accumulates. Closing the loop with a basic income, even a nominal one, is a direct and practical solution that doesn't have to hurt anyone.

Cessna pilot here-- I've never flown an aircraft with hydraulic controls. (Small planes use pushrods or cables to actuate the controls. It's all muscle power for us.)

The physics of flight produce a very useful convenience: the amount of force needed to effect a particular degree of attitude change (e.g. a 10 degree bank) remains the same, regardless of speed. Planes up to the size of small jets (the Cessna Mustang, for instance) use fully manual controls with no power assistance. The Challenger is a bit bigger, but even after the remaining pressure in the hydraulic system completely dissipated, I doubt more than 30lbs of pressure would have been required to actuate the controls. And the rotational inertia of the turbines should have provided at least some assistance on top of that. (I have no idea what would have happened if an airliner lost both engines simultaneously in a stall.)
According to [1] law enforcement went door to door after Hurricane Katrina and collected all the guns. So, here is your line in the sand: there is no way you you can make a meaningful stand against the government with guns:

- police cannot ever lose, especially not in the US

- there is no organized resistance that decides when to resist, and what to (potentially) die for

- the current system is entrenched and standing on an enormous foundation, politics, economic interest, institutions, the media etc. will not easily yield

TODO:

- reorganize military and law enforcement, introduce the concept of "citizen in uniform", focus on deescalation etc; the military would have to be on the side of a hypothetical revolution for it to work, obviously?

- develop an actual alternative political concept and start from the ground up: Instead of trying to run for president or deface websites, try running for mayor or do some honest journalism

- don't hold on to your guns for hope - you could gradually lose ground without ever getting to that confrontation (which you'd surely lose anyway). Instead address injustice immediately, be prepared to take tiny steps.

I know it's javascript and that it's definitely not the best choice for sound manipulation, but I'll learn a lot from practicing. C++ has a very steep learning curve and even if I understood music theory( which I dont, just a bass player ), I wouldn't be able to express myself in C++. So, decided to learn some music theory and implement this theory in javascript code.
You're lumping together different kinds of rating systems. Netflix just wants to recommend you stuff you might like, which is a very different problem from scoring things on an absolute scale (grades, IMDb, game critics). Facebook likes have a social interaction component that's not there in Netflix, so it isn't comparable either.
Drug addicts also enjoy doing drugs..
I believe what they display is just a guess at how much you will like it (based on people with similar viewing/rating histories), not a public rating as such, so once you've actually rated it, there's very little reason to show the other figure.

We did think of that :) - we can detect your tampering with the forms we protect. But that said it doesn't stop everything if you can install a keylogger, or get the user to enter data somewhere else we can't stop it and it does depend on where in the user journey you try and protect things, as someone else here has pointed out if any of the journey is HTTP (or HTTPS being MITM) then they can send the user somewhere else.

However I'd also argue you don't actually need to stop people grabbing the data. Noticing achieves a large chunk of that, as (for example) I can notify the credit card system it's happened.

Fair point, I overlooked the "pie" part of the chart argument. My comment was originally intended to go as a reply to oriettaxx's post.

Clearly the purpose is to keep tabs on Enemies of The State, ability to suppress dissent, and chill actions of the populace.

The Model 3 is supposed to start at $35,000. Demand doesn't seem to be a problem, as they have hundreds of thousands of reservations and pretty much stopped trying to solicit more while they work through the backlog. The major challenge for now is actually getting production up to capacity.
From the linked Variety article, "However, over time, Netflix realized that explicit star ratings were less relevant than other signals. Users would rate documentaries with 5 stars, and silly movies with just 3 stars, but still watch silly movies more often than those high-rated documentaries."

But the signal isn't just for Netflix; it is also for users, who might sometimes be in the mood for something silly and sometimes in the mood for something good. Also, people might rather get more suggestions of good movies even if they are more likely to watch bad ones. (Of course, people might also just overrate documentaries.)

Interestingly, practically all of those "open spaces" were clearly marked "gun-free zone". Some such nutjobs have been clearly documented as choosing those areas over "more desirable" targets precisely because of the signage.

I don't believe you can ever see a public rating. Before you rate a title, you can see netflix's prediction of what you will rate it, but that's not public.
