I have also been shooting with a various laptops, USB cameras (mostly Canon PowerShot A-series), software (including my own badly rolled C++ tool using CanonSDK) before finally settling on GBTimelapse, which ended up being the killer "app" for controlling multiple cameras at once. I just did a count of ~3 million images, here are some of my more dodgy installations using my now defunct beloved waterproof Panasonic touchbook: https://imgur.com/a/jyNLP

I still continue to shoot but I've moved on to using GoPro 5 and various Nikon DSLRs and I have to absolutely agree: nothing comes close to DSLR and decent optics! The only problem is that you get slight fluctuations in image brightness even when shooting identical shutter speed, etc. which necessitates a non-free tool like GBDeflickr or LRTimelapse to get flicker-free video. Alternately just stick to using non-SLR cameras such as GoPro or other Compact with the function builtin, which I've noticed is becoming quite standard in most cameras.

As for controlling your Canon, if you want to skip a step (and extra hardware requirements) you could just put MagicLantern on an SD card and write a LUA script (or download one of the many available ones out there).

I'm not sure I agree with the premise you baldly assert: could you explain why it is true?
> there are therefore an infinite number of finite sequences in Pi

Sure, but this doesn't answer the question: Do we know that every possible finite sequence is present? You can have the former without the latter being true. For example, a sequence of the form "1011011101111011111..."[0], while infinite, never contains the finite sequence "1234".

Yes and no. I think it's entirely reasonable for ISPs to innovate, play with zero-rating, etc. I just think it should be done neutrally: if an ISP wants to zero-rate, they should publish a rate schedule that applies to anyone who wants to participate. If an ISP wants to try other novel services (QoS, whatever), I think the same principle should apply: make it fair, reasonable, non-discriminatory, and transparent.

Verizon's zero-rating of themselves is anything but.
If there was a tech workers union, presumably it would cover employees at Comcast, Verizon, AT&T, and many other companies they are not pro net neutrality. So it wouldn't even be in the self interest of the union to get into the battle.

It needs to be the consumers who speak up, and the businesses that would be negatively affected.

No, I meant "cultured" wasn't what he was describing,
As long as you know the index into p of your file and its length,
its a simple task to extract the file using the Bailey–Borwein–Plouffe
formula Similarly, you can use the formula to initially find the index of your file

Now, we all know that it can take a while to find a long sequence of digits in p,
so for practical reasons, we should break the files up into smaller chunks that
can be more readily found.

In this implementation, to maximise performance, we consider each individual
byte of the file separately, and look it up in p.

I'm not entirely convinced my files would be present in those smaller chunks. You would need a copy of π (p) going way past the 5 trillion digit world record. Even then it's not guaranteed the bytes needed would be there.
Pigeonhole Principle.
The number of messages of bit length N is 2^N. You are trying to map these into 2^M compressed strings, M < N. By the Pigeonhole (or Dirichlet's Box) Principle, at least one compressed string will have more than one message mapped to it. So it cannot be reversed.

But they don't have one rate for powering refrigerators, a different rate for washing machines, one rate for computers, etc. Nor do they have one rate for Kenmore refrigerators, a different rate for Maytag refrigerators, one rate for Samsung refrigerators.
I don't know the answer to this, but I do know that Alpine has some really awesome stuff around vulnerabilities, and I would presume that they react to vulnerabilities more quickly.

However, I intend to validate this presumption in a future project.
I believe Verizon can zero rate their own services, and it's OK. I also believe that they should have to allow zero rating of any service, even a competitor's, if the service provider is willing to pay for their users' data using transparent, open pricing that is equally applied.
We're also talking about Net Neutrality in the United States, largely, and I would reckon almost explicitly.

What does that have to do with Iraq and its internet access?? Not that it isn't important. It just has nothing to do with internet access in the United States.

you're not exactly elaborating on how that example applies.

I see no evidence here, yet you claim Net neutrality 'absolutists' need to tone down their rhetoric, and give no cited or strong example as to what is actually wrong with net neutrality.

well you're playing against a computer that doesn't understand the position, black should simply disentangle his pieces, he can sacrifice almost everything he has and still win in this position, even if white is allowed to keep the queen. He can sacrifice a queen and a rook to this end, easily.

I agree. There are an infinite number of finite sequences that are not my social security number and do not contain my social security number. An infinite list is still infinite though it lack any specific finite sequence.

Because of the massive amount of consolidation over the last few years, the death of Net Neutrality would be the best competitive moat imaginable for Google, Facebook, Amazon, etc.

While all their CEOs will make faint noises in favor of Net Neutrality, SV outspends Wall Street 2:1 on lobbying[1], the goal of which is to cement monopoly status, not to make the world a better place. Most of it goes to Republicans.

Things have changed fast; Google's lobbying spend has increased by over 50% since the SOPA blackout.

Absolutely. I intended this post to identify (some of) the problems/challenges. My next post will focus on how to address them.

Alpine is definitely one of the major points, as well as static binary images and some advice on Dockerfile configuration.

I think this is more of a case of "sex sells". I.e. the whole topic gets attention because people are interested in sex, not because they are interested in privacy.
I'm not sure this rigorous (or if this is the proof they were referring to), but they mentioned t a pretty compelling argument in passing; if you could compress all inputs by at least one bit, then you could use that algorithm again on all the outputs and reduce them by at least one bit, until eventually you've reduced every possible input to one bit, which is clearly not possible (at least, not if you want to ever be able to get back the original value). This means that every compression algorithm either a) can't compress some inputs to a smaller size than they already are or b) lose some of the data in the process. (Lossy compressions can still be useful, of course; that being said, I'd imagine assume that even most lossy compression algorithms to be idempotent).

That argument seems pretty contrived. It's really hard to imagine a situation where Wikipedia is delivered to Iraqis on some kind of special limited internet pipe. What would the business proposition be?

It's not so hard to imagine the harm that comes from Verizon or AT&T picking winners based on the relationships they have and blocking innovation.

I have indeed trafficked in overreaction and arrogance masquerading as intellectualism in my days. Probably will again. Such is life.
So I'm not a mathemetician, certainly not anymore.

But for a while I did read a lot of this stuff, and wrote things like it.

Aaand... to some extent you get used to it. But it really is simply a worse syntax. It's not just habit.

For one thing, there does not exist such a thing as "mathematical notation". There are a bunch of different, semi-overlapping conventions. You can't trivially read something someone wrote if the math was for another field. In fact, I'm pretty sure the variance is even larger than for most (seriously used) computer languages. It's easier for a pythonista to grok C++ templates than it is to read physics-inspired math with a modal-logic background.

This is particularly true when it comes to conventional symbols; there just aren't enough, or perhaps it's history, but there are different symbols for the same concept, and different concepts for the same symbol. Another pet peeve is subscripts - are those formally meaningless tags to distinguish variations the author talks about? are they arguments of some other class (think type arguments vs. value arguments)? Are they something elses? It's quite common for articles to use various forms, and sometimes even on the same symbols; for an example (albeit with superscripts) you probably know: X^T as a transpose, but X^2 as a power.

Then there are things like context sensitivity. It's not uncommon for some notation not to be self-contained in the sense that an expression depends on some variable, but that that variable is never specified in the expression itself. It's taken for granted you know which those are, and that can get quite tricky. It's the mutable global state of programming.

Mathematics could definitely benefit from a more disciplined and rigorous approach when it comes to notation, at least, IMNSHO.

My point is that your remedy for the problem of political correctness stifling you is for everyone else to act differently. You have unpopular opinions but you're afraid to voice them, and what you'd like is for people not to crap all over you when you voice them. You want a safe space for political incorrectness. What's more threatening to freedom of speech than safe spaces?
I think the crux of the matter, and opinion of the majority of people in those threads, was that the decision against Berkeley was decidedly unjustified.

To me, so long as the university provides resources to its disable students, which I assume they do given they're not involved in an even bigger lawsuit, what they provide to the public is community service. Denying billions of people across the world access to quality information because of the needs of maybe a million deaf in the US is ridiculous and a loss for the world.
Can't believe the article didn't mention mosquitoes:

No idea why mosquitoes would have a preference, but mosquitoes and mosquito borne diseases have had a huge influence on humanity.
CentOS/RHEL have a very small footprint in the open source community, it seems. I was pretty surprised by this because they have such significant corporate backing, a lot of enterprise software is RHEL only, and they may be the only linux distribution currently support SCAP (required by FISMA for federal agencies).

In order, I would opt for: binary image, alpine, then debian. There are other choices like CoreOS, FreeBSD, etc. if you are comfortable moving away from linux.
You cannot bend the rules in this way and still equate it to the question at hand - you're introducing characters outside of base2 in your example. If you stuck within the realm of base2, '2' in its binary form certainly appears in the pattern.

Not only that, but Pi is normal (all digits distributed evenly), and your sequence clearly is not.

I understand what you are saying - indeed there are infinite finite sequences - but it just does not apply here.
If you think that it's unfair that Iraqis can access Wikipedia for free because the data is zero rated, then you disagree with my premise, and you are a net neutrality absolutist.

If you believe that it is OK that Iraqis can access Wikipedia for free via zero rating, then there are exceptions to NN, because zero rating is inherently anti-NN. From then on, it is a slippery slope. Is it OK to zero rate data only in "poor" countries? The moment they get rich enough, must we ban it? Is any non-profit allowed to zero rate, but all for-profits are not?

My point is, once you open the door to anti-NN practices being acceptable, you must then start analyzing all situations individually.

I respect NN absolutists although I disagree with them. At least they have a coherent philosophy.
>The scenario you introduce is different from the specific line I was responding to. My intention was to show that some more consideration and rework of the idea could bring more clarity.

In your example you are choosing to accept interruption of service in exchange for a preferential rate.

Net neutrality preserves the integrity of internet access by stating that ISPs may not interfere with traffic based on it's origin or destination for competitive reasons (e.g. to coerce payments from service providers a consumer may choose to access). The core premise of Internet access is that a consumer is paying for access to the Internet. If a consumer chooses to permit the service provider to modulate service at the consumer side in order to gain preferential treatment (better price, etc), then this is a consumer choice.

> I could have a switch to change my water heater to the non-interruptible service if I needed to use it during a time of peak demand. How does "pay more for priority" fit into the net neutrality picture?

There are numerous ways to "pay for priority"; even with electricity you can pay a supplier to upgrade capacity in your area to ensure that you have the ability to more consistently draw power, especially at peak times (granted this is not a trivial process). With Internet access the same thing is available - if I want a 10Mbps connection, that has minimum bandwidth of 1Mbps at peak times, and 99% uptime, then I could reasonably expect to pay more than someone who only wants a 1Mbps connection, can tolerate a minimum bandwidth of 512Kbps at peak, and only needs 90% uptime.

This is not a net neutrality issue, and this should be consumer choice (I am old and from Canada, so the numbers above are low :P); allowing lower cost terms of service for less guarantees is a time honored tradition in delivering utilities and services, but most utilities in many parts of the world have a minimum standard that must be met to achieve regulatory compliance for consumer services (e.g. water pressure upper and lower limits, natural gas line pressure, electricity amperage and voltage, etc). Anything above that regulation-blessed "consumer grade" is an opportunity to extract value for priority, and is compatible with net neutrality.

The Net Neutrality issue is that your provider can then regulate the service which you have bought and paid for (network access to your ISPs network peers, and via those access to the Internet) to prevent you from access resources from specific sites and resources, and deliberately applying QoS to degrade a users experience with those third party sites and services in order to coerce the upstream services to pay the ISP.

This is why I say that a service that does this is not Internet Service, but rather a curated network service.

VRML was largely just 3D model format. WebVR is API-level access to VR hardware. WebVR frameworks are application frameworks that incorporate the ability to load many model formats, as well as provide different levels of configuration and convention.
To what end? The devices don't stay connected. You have to turn them on, open the app and sync them up. At best you get to alter the vibration patterns several hundred people at once. At best you've very mildly annoyed somebody and they'd just chalk it up to a buggy app.
The utility should be the fiber (or spectrum). Regulate that; leave the ISPs to then compete openly.

Today's software can enable multiple ISPs to share the fiber/spectrum. I could then have 10 ISPs today and 15 ISPs tomorrow. I might use ISP #1 for certain content, and ISP #2 for certain services.

ISPs essentially become a function of the services and content they provide, and how they provide it, in an ultra-competitive, granular market. The way it should be.
My grandfather was a waterman on the Chesapeake Bay. Didn't graduate high school, didn't go to college. Worked on the water until a few months before he died.

After his death, my family went through his belongings to sort out what people wanted and what should be included in the estate sale.

In the living room, there was the obligatory wall-sized, floor-to-ceiling bookshelf. You probably know the one from your grandparent's house. Filled with the kind of books you'd expect: encyclopedia, book of the month, condensed versions of great books, random novels, et cetera.

Rifling through the first book, I noticed there were notes written in the margins. About every 5-20 pages. Sometimes short, sometimes longer. I smiled and carefully set the book aside.

But the next one had notes too. And the next. And the next. Almost every book in the entire bookshelf.

My grandfather was a quiet man by the time I knew him. Of the ten words over dinner sort. But whenever I find myself reflexively going through Facebook or whatever other quick fix the internet affords me, I imagine him coming in after a long day of physical work, opening a book to his bookmark, and reading and noting a few more pages. Every day.

Then I try to be more like that person.
