Well I see a CoreOS employee saying that the spec should remain compatible with Docker until after 1.0. The image spec was not "donated" to OCI, various people decided to make a spec for roughly what Docker was doing already, in order to formalise it, with an agreement to do a 1.0 quickly. It was not a standard to create an all new spec, at least initially. There are a lot of existing images out there, so incremental change and backward compatibility is important.

There's no typed restriction on what "transducer" means. Having a second tape in your FSM is enough. e.g., In the formal definition of an FSM, in addition to the input alphabet Σ, you also have an output alphabet Γ.

FSTs are commonly seen in morphological analysis (e.g., your paper?) and in those cases it's probably string-to-string, but FSTs have other use cases as well. :-) Lucene, for example, uses a string->int FST as part of its inverted index (where the strings are terms and the ints are ~docids, IIRC).
Is there a good block chain implementation to play around with? I've looked but I don't know where to begin.
Goodness me, this brings back memories having taken the entrance exam back in 2009. I am glad that they have removed the "We do not guarantee the accuracy of the English translation of the original Japanese version of the exam" clause. It should be noted that this is only one "session" of a series of exams that you take in a single day. If I remember correctly there were two computer science sessions as well, followed by a presentation of your thesis in front of the faculty once your exams had been graded. After this you had to wait for a few weeks for the final result.

It should be noted that I don't find these exams to be particularly difficult, the main difficult lies in the fact that the number of potential topics are drawn from the whole University of Tokyo undergraduate curriculum, so if you studied as an undergraduate at a different school or country -- like me -- you are at a significant disadvantage. What I did was to look at ten years or so of exams to get some statistics on what was likely to be on the exam, then locked myself in my room for the whole of January to cover portions that I had not studied before -- like network protocol specifics. In the end, it worked out for me, but I got somewhat lucky in that there were two statistics questions that I could breeze through to cover for my weaker calculus skills given my old school's focus on discrete mathematics.

Last time I seriously considered giving ASM a go, I checked Randall Hyde's [author of this developer's kit] books on Amazon and the majority of reviewers had the following problem with it - it has neither Microsoft's nor AT&T's syntax but instead something that you have slim odds of encountering in real world, making things weird.

Which is why I also ultimately passed on it and looked into MASM instead, hoping to have fun reversing games on Windows.
Hah! I gave 3.1 - 3.4 as an assignment to second-year CompSci students literally three weeks ago. Although my version was to determine the values experimentally for n<=8 bits and then estimate values for n up to 64. Bonus marks awarded for a mathematical proof of the pattern (which isn't really all that bad if you apply probability to patterns of two bits).

Seeing as the star is in close proximity to a blackhole it would likely be similar to the Kerr-Metric [1] (as we _should_ assume the black hole as some spin).

The white star has non-trivial mass of its own which greatly complicates the curvature of the local space-time region and render the Kerr-Metric equations lacking.

GR is really complicated FYI.

> When taking a math exam, you can not contest having "misunderstood the question". The question is precise. By saying you "misunderstood it", you acknowledge that you don't understand the topic well enough to pass the exam.

This right here is completely unfair and infuriating.

Great mathematicians always find themselves taking the wrong turn and producing the wrong result(s) because they "misunderstood the question". Granted they learn form their mistake and revise and iterate until they get their theories and proofs right. But if they constantly fail, how could you then claim that they "don't understand the topic well enough". Are you telling me that Tao does not understand prime numbers well enough because he cannot solve for formula X?

This is the 3rd post that I reply to that seem to illustrate my point. You are RIGHT about the nature of mathematical language. But you CANNOT appeal to the general public with that arrogant attitude. You cannot communicate using dense language and expect non-math people to relate or even care. Granted, you might not give a fuck about that. But that is counter productive because if you want more rigor in society you should introduce more people to math rather than having them being put-off by some elitist attitude.

Once again, this is a M.SC. Exam so it should be this way. My issue is with math communication to the public in general, not this pdf specifically!
- Click and hold outside the thingy usually performs consecutive page jumps to the point (Firefox, Chrome)

Few omitted means to scroll
- hold middle mouse button and drag (this usually works well sideways and in case no scroll bar is present)
- spacebar / shift+spacebar, pgUp / pgDn, home / end
- and FMoPW most importantly clicking the arrows in the scroll bar. For "us" this seems almost uncomprehensible, but I regularly see users perform scolling this way.

For example my wife with track pad (yes, it is capable of two finger gestures), and my mother even with mouse with scroll wheel, until recently.

No wonder, discoverability of that action is way above all that abstract "dragging", "swinging" and "pressing" concepts without direct visual clue.

How can I improve my business easily?
As a personal data point: about 15 years ago a close relative of mine (in his 90s) was going blind (I think from MD, but not 100% sure) with no cure, at least at the time. He was fully self sufficient and an avid reader his whole life and knew that in 6 months his walks with grandkids, reading and in general life as he knew it would be over. He died of an acute infection (or virus) before he went blind, but I am sure that given an option with outcomes of death at 50% and keeping vision at 50% he would take it (I would, too).

Regulating non-approved medical treatments out of existence might look appealing, but IMO we need to allow informed, rational people to choose unapproved treatments where no approved one exists. Much better to have full disclosure and informed consent (FDA would not approve a treatment with 50% death/health outcome, but some people would gladly take it). My 2c.
The only reason I've ever had not to skim was because I was asked not to. But for example at school my purpose is really to learn not to satisfy the desires of my teachers, and actually most of the time reading, taking notes, and so on doesnt help me at all. Its a much smarter and more effective strategy. Trim the fat as the great adam levine would say.

FSTs are commonly used for morphological analysis, and AFAIK, there isn't much cross pollination between those folks and folks that use FSTs more as data structures of large sets or maps. So there's probably a bit of a communicative mismatch.

I think Uber drivers try to solicit tips from female passengers far more often than from male passengers. I rarely tip Uber, have taken hundreds of rides, and have never been solicited.

(When I do tip on Uber, it is either going to the airport overseas to get rid of spare cash, or if something exceprional happened. I've taken UberX in major snowstorms and in that case happily tip $20. I left a laptop in an Uber and got it returned to me within 5 minutes, I tipped $50.)

Your argument is: macros a bad, so have explicit code everywhere. This of course makes it to be readable a must.

It's definitely true that the product focus on Gitter has always been more on public rooms.

Ah, yes, how absolutely shocking that Microsoft should choose not to support a processor that didn't even exist at the time that version of Windows was released. Why, everyone knows, especially on HN, that updating and retesting software costs nothing at all and so that's why we all eagerly go back and retrofit all versions of software we've ever released, no matter how old, to support the latest hardware just as soon as it's released. This outrageous behavior is right up there with Ford not retrofitting anti-lock brakes on the Model T and VHS VCRs not providing a HDMI output. /s

I get your point, but aside the package manager and associated tools, most of what you've described are GNU packages / cross platform user land. ie stuff that even in the most limited sense was never Debian specific to begin with; but often was designed to run on most Unix-like platforms anyway. Because of this I've read some people describe kFreeBSD as GNU/kFreeBSD (ie GNU user land with the FreeBSD kernel) and I think that makes some sense if you're following the GNU/Linux naming convention (which I think makes sense in the context of this discussion because it also takes the Hurd kernel into account - GNU/Hurd). But this is one of those edge cases I was thinking of when I talked about exceptions to the rule in my grandparent post.

As for whether it's classified as a separate OS from Debian (Linux) or FreeBSD - there's definitely some room for interpretation so I'll hold off from passing my own personal judgement :)

Talking about rule exceptions, another good example would be Android. Largely the same kernel as GNU/Linux and some of the user land too but equally it's a very different platform to "desktop / server Linux"
If we are talking Fox News, I'd say Tucker Carlson's show is pretty good. Bret Baier and Chris Wallace are also decent. Most everyone else is a clown putting on a show for ratings. I won't talk about the liberal-leaning stations because I would imagine you know who's serious and who's a ratings clown, for example, I would imagine you might categorize Rachel Maddow (MSNBC) as a member of the latter.

The problem with your assessment here is that "clowning" is not actually a part of journalism. Fact-finding however, is part of journalism. The OP is making the case that people will actively ignore facts they are receiving when they can't parse the information to match up with their world view. They will dismiss facts as things like conspiracy or what you're calling "clowning for ratings" when they don't like what they are hearing.

Information dissemination that is based on verifiable facts garnered from multiple independent sources... this is the job of journalists. From what I've seen of Fox News, it does not subscribe to the verifiable facts method of journalism and relies instead upon the echo chamber method of repeating something enough times in attempts to make it seem truthful.

Yes, but doesn't that ignore the gravitational
acceleration

Gravitational acceleration doesn't exist (in GR). All bodies are stationary in GR and observe other things moving in reference to themselves.

What we perceive as gravitational acceleration is just objects traveling in straight lines (at constant speeds) though 4D space-time. Circular orbits are just straight lines of constant velocity bent around by the local curvature of space-time (which can be caused by a local density of mass-energy).

The idea of acceleration assumes a force is acting on a body. Gravity isn't a force in General Relativity. It is the shape of the universe.

I can see some abuse here. If I live in a suburb, set it as my home zone, then just work downtown.

Perhaps limit the "home area" designation at the end of the day. So before someone is "ending" their day, they can click a button and service only in their home area.

That way, the usefulness of the service is not compromised as much.

They're touting the use of adult stem cells [edit: from a separate source in the body] which have never been shown to provide the kind of results that embryonic stem cells have. That is snake oil. At best it wouldn't have made anything worse but also not made anything better. When your best case scenario is "you won't be any worse off than you started" you lose the right to call that a treatment.

Of course I somehow doubt it was explained to those women that way.

> Sometimes we have good reason to think a treatment might work, but it fails upon trial.

Given the nature of the source of the stem cells, no one would have had good reason to expect this to work.

I don't expect non-math people to relate or even care. If you open a textbook on algebraic topology and you've never studied even the most mundane calculus, you won't understand anything.

Somehow, this infuriates people.

The same people would have no problem admitting that they should probably not read specialized literature on law that requires readers to have gone through 8 years of law school before they can make sense of the content.

Mathematical literature is not meant for casuals. Its impossible to express advanced concepts concisely, in such a way that people who don't know the material can understand them.

This is like asking someone for an explanation on how to walk and then throwing a fit when they reply with "well, place one foot on front of the other in such a way that you dont fall over". You don't expect them to discuss activation levels in skeletal musculature resulting from biochemical processes in the nervous system. But in Math, thats what you want. Clear and concise language that inspires and is fun AND fully describes the problem at the same time.

Well arguably yes. Currently there have been a few cases where judges decided to hold a defendant in contempt of court indefinitely because they claimed to not remember their encryption keys. At least in one of the cases the burden of proof might as well just be if the judge has a hunch.

Here's one notable article from almost a year ago but last I checked he's still being held in contempt. https://www.techdirt.com/articles/20160428/07395434297/so-mu...

It's one thing to demand that someone turns over their password but currently AFAIK there's no rigorous proof that the data in question is even encrypted or that the defendant had decrypted it in the past beyond "it was on his computer".
The tokens seem to be physical. Does that mean you print them on the spot?

It's not like there is no concept of tipping at all.
