Interesting puzzle. I copied the puzzle text to a separate text file so that one does not accidentally read anything else in the Wikipedia article.

You can't selectively plea the fifth. You can't go into court, say things in your favor, and then clam up and plea the fifth when things get dicey for you. As soon as you start testifying in your defense you have waived the right and you'll be held in contempt if you take the fifth afterward. It would be unusual, but you can be imprisoned indefinitely without a trial/conviction until the judge decides to release you or you resolve the issue that put you in contempt.

I hope to have convinced with my previous answer that the mathematical definition of probability is key to resolving your paradox here. Mathematically (using the concept of infinity) and also physically (using the concept of large numbers) there is a simple and commonly accepted answer to your question.

Since that definition is very basic, it is hard to find a direct answer to your question.

You might find it interesting that in physics when we deal with large numbers that are not infinity it is usually good enough to know that a certain event is pretty damn unlikely (and it is essential to corroborate this with numbers as in "this happens once in 10^100 years"). In physics, we rarely have 100 % certainty. Logical consistency and a certainty that is large enough are usually key to success (i.e. growth of knowledge) in natural sciences.
You say that criticism can be destructive and constructive, which is true. Ridicule, defined as "[applying] contemptuous and dismissive language or behavior" can swiftly and temptingly become "deconstructive criticism". Or, "criticism that I find humiliating because I don't like it".

Does most ridiculing, aside from satire, have a benefit? Probably not. But it would be a mistake to make any speech without benefit illegal, especially since it is just so easy for anyone in power to conveniently select people for jailtime when legislation uses such broad words as "ridicule".
Instead of being discouraged, another takeaway from your experience is that presentation skills are extremely important. You'll need them to sell your ideas to your boss, investors, customers, and coworkers. Expecting them to figure out your ideas for themselves is rarely going to work.

Good points. I was about to say something about how libsodium will take care of most of that for you.

For example, I thought they provided some facility for avoiding nonce reuse vulnerabilities by automatically generating pseudorandom nonces for the user.

But then I double checked their API docs and they don't do this at all! Argh!
Weird to see this downvoted. When it came out, the Wordpress admin was beautiful and smooth---and everything else was ugly and clunky. It was like the iPhone vs feature phones. The handful of built-in themes looked great too. Whatever you think of Wordpress today, compared to its contemporary competitors it was outstanding.
Thanks! Will definitely aim for Windows and Linux builds in the near future. The app itself is built in ES6 on Electron and has virtually no OS-specific dependencies, so I don't anticipate any difficulty.
Also: If any enterprising hacker that uses Windows or Linux as their primary platform wants to volunteer to try building Tad on their platform, please get in touch -- I'd be delighted to have the help.

I think you may have missed their point.

>for most people animations are not smooth

I don't know about most, but it's definitely true that there are processing limits inherent to user's hardware that make certain animations run very clunky, thereby turning a perfectly good animation into an 'intrusive animation'. Because we often have no control over the user's hardware we have 2 options, stay conservative and optimize things that improve the UX for everyone or ignore the possibility that certain users will have a bad experience and push forward with such animations.

Unfortunately, many product owners tend to build for only the 'happy path' scenario and choose the latter.

How? A competitor is obligated by capitalism to do everything they can to level the competition. An accusation doesn't make fact.

This is such a classic justice tale I'm sure it's memorialized in fable. You get accused of witchcraft: well that's weird, you sure have a lot of herbs around, huh? (bay leaves and garlic) What's that giant kettle for? (making soup. With bay leaves and garlic) Etc. The mere accusation can turn normal things into another incriminating "fact" when that is just not the case.
> That is a very american perspective though.

Yes, and this case is between American parties, under American law, in the U.S. (of America) District Court for the Northern District of California.
interesting. as an indian growing up in the 70s/80s, i had horlicks as a teatime drink when it was cold outside.
I agree. Furthermore, it is really deceitful to use the name "Standard" when it's far from it. For years this was not the standard way of writing JavaScript. I get that standards change. However, this isn't even the way most companies write JavaScript.

The way I interpret this: some group of developers thought it would be a good idea to hijack the word "standard," and wedge this particular new style into the concept. It just isn't standard. It's as absurd as having a company called "Blue Shine" and selling only green colored cleaning products.

At least be honest about it. Call it something else, like "Colonless," since that's the most obvious thing that sticks out when using this style.
Those are the integration methods I was talking about. An analytic method without error is one which can describe the curve at any moment in time, not "constant acceleration per frame".

About:

> If the WSJ and WaPo shared subscribers, the consumers would get double the content while the industry costs would stay the same. When consumers see additional value for their subscription dollars, they are more likely to sign up, increasing the number of potential customers.

The problem is paywalls. Both need paywalls to improve their revenue.

I have a protocol which covers both paywalled and unpaywalled sites. For the purposes of attracting ire, I applied for a US patent, which will hopefully land in the next month or two (I already hold an Australian one).

Then, I suppose, it will be time to ask rich people for money so I can make them richer.

Edit:

To expand a bit, consider that all the existing successful schemes are walled gardens. App stores are walled gardens, Netflix is a walled garden, Spotify is too.

But the web is, by its nature, an open garden.

What I developed, effectively speaking, allows users to support websites without paywalls, or to be passed through a paywall, without ever noticing the difference. All they'd notice is the absence of ads on participating websites.

> An accusation doesn't make fact.

An accusation with even a tiny bit of evidence supporting it can rightly be the basis of a conclusion of fact when the standard (as is generally the case in civil court) is preponderance of the evidence, and no evidence is presented on the other side.
Actually I think the defense of "Microsoft should never adapt to market standards that others have set, because they are Microsoft" is never a good defense.
Wayland solves a number of other problems than phones and laptops. It modernizes code left over from the dumb terminal world. It also should be pointed out that the dream is not dead. Another project (hopefully Gnome) can pick this up, so the effort isn't lost.

So he should give up his 5th amendment right to fend off an accusation? I don't think so, that doesn't sound like justice to me.

>documentation from Waymo/Google is also pretty strong apparently.

pretty

apparently

Come on man, you know what angle I'll go for here. Why are you letting that slip? The documentation aka evidence hasn't been seen yet because this case hasn't gone to court. None of the most relevant facts of the case have come to light.

I'm happy to hop on the "Uber is evil" train after the case, but it is painful to watch the normally quite rational people on HN fall for such a typical fallacy of justice.
I developed a protocol for recording visits specifically designed to prevent publishers from piggybacking on it to identify users. Essentially, one less place for a supercookie.

However, it relies in part on a particular HTTP header, so from an information theoretic standpoint it will dramatically narrow the pool of candidates. Good enough for an individual who doesn't want to be profiled for advertising, not good enough for someone worried about advanced persistent threats.

This is half true, but yc network companies are a _lot_ more discerning about what they'll try these days. There are 5-10x more yc startups than there used to be, and no one has time to use them all.

It's actually more valuable for early user feedback than showing traction for investors. yc network companies are usually willing to spend more time poking through stuff than some company you don't know, help with pitches, etc.

> As long as it's not discrimination based, you can fire someone for any reason.

Every decision to choose one course of action over another is "discrimination-based"; you mean as long as it is not discrimination on an expressly-prohibited basis.
This judge is mighty impressive, and since it's so much in fashion these days to be suspicious of institutions, I want to highlight this passage:

THE COURT: If you all keep insisting on redacting so much information, like -- and you're the guilty one on that, Mr. Verhoeven -- then arbitration looks better and better. Because I'm not going to put up with it. If we're going to be in a public proceeding, 99 percent of what -- 90 percent, anyway, has got to be public.
[..]

THE COURT: The best thing -- if we were -- one of the factors that you ought to be considering is maybe you should -- if you want all this stuff to be so secret, you should be in arbitration. You shouldn't be trying to do this in court and constantly telling them not to, or you putting in -- the public has a right to see what we do.
[..]
And I feel that so strongly. I am not -- the U.S. District Court is not a wholly owned subsidiary of Quinn Emanuel or Morrison & Foerster or these two big companies. We belong to the public.
And if this continues, then several things are going to happen. One, we're going to call a halt to the whole -- we're going to stop everything. And we're going to have document-by-document hearings in this room,

Can you elaborate on this for a Linux noob?

I believe you. I don't think the buzz would happen consistently if you tried to replicate it over and over. It could have been your anxiety going away, or it could have been the placebo effect.

One could easily resolve the question of whether opioids cause euphoria by doing a double-blind clinical study. I would love to do that study, in fact.

We all hate ads, no doubt about it. But I don't like the way media is going about accusing Comcast and Verizon for what the consumers brought upon themselves. Comcast/Verizon simply want exactly what Google does. AFAIK, Google does not "prompt" me saying that they mine my data and use it to show ads. In fact, I just tried creating a gmail account and there is no such explicit popup dialog that tell me this information. Same goes for facebook. There should be a popup saying "We use your data to show you ads". As simple as that. But no. There is no such thing.

This is the same that Verizon/Comcast wants to do. Provide an arbitrary service (i.e ISP) and also do something else with the data. Just because, I _pay_ comcast but don't pay Google does not relinquish Google from the responsibility. IMO, we need new internet/tech laws that explicitly cover companies that monetize user data.

Maybe someone can help me understand the distinction between these two.

I really don't get why this reasoning is not extended to other animals as well. For example, people do eat cows, pigs, dogs and they are pretty smart as well (much more than plants). I think it boils down to "culture" of the place you grew up. Maybe in your country people never ate octopus but in country X (China? Korea?) they never had any doubts about eating octopus.
Also in applications with Prologue interpreters: you can express patch submitability predicates in Prolog for the Gerrit code review system.

> The UI/UX experts at Gnome/systemd say "linux is NOT about choice", but that's why I chose linux over a decade ago, for choice. If some part sucks for me, I can replace just that part.

I don't recall them saying this at all. In fact, I would argue that Gnome's pursuit of a novel interface is very much about choice. It's not like they firebombed the xfce and KDE projects and ran away with the fortune. They said, "the window/taskbar/menu interface is widely done, let's do something else". Now, I happen to like Gnome, but like you said, if you want something else, then I agree that's what makes linux great.
It'd be easier to just use kickstarter for that.
You want the government deciding which software projects get funded? Which inevitably means that the government will decide how software projects get run? Really?

Nah, but a developer who can sell is usually a better proposition than who cannot.
>preponderance of the evidence

has not been demonstrated yet. Only the accusation. Furthermore, there's been no judgement.
Second this. A lot of developers will just drop it in without reading the caveats. Just make the origin a mandatory parameter.
Does anybody besides platform developers want a unified phone, tablet, and desktop experience? I certainly don't; it sounds like a very bad idea.
Titanic (1997) is a pretty well-known example. There isn't much of a lesson to draw from that movie that would have averted the disaster. It simply uses the disaster as a plot element to tell a story about love.

>rejecting the idea that we live in the best possible world is necessary if suffering is to motivate achievement

This is a very important point. I think the key is to accept that our nature is to be motivated by suffering, and not try to transcend that. I suppose this is what Camus was talking about when he described Sisyphus as being happy. Essentially, you can't use the belief that the world is perfect as a justification for anything, because nothing you do (or refrain from doing) can alter the perfection of the world. And that means you can't look at civilians dying and just shrug your shoulders because hey, it's all perfect, right? It's not something that can be used to justify inaction. It doesn't offer any moral guidance at all. It's just a different way of thinking about the world.
> My understanding is that part of the case is deciding if it is true that 14,000 documents were taken.

It is, but that's a much later part of the case. The present part of the case is complying with discovery orders and considering preliminary injunctions, which does weigh what the parties are claiming and able to offer to support those claims, but does not involvethe kind of formal, detailed presentation and weighing of evidence that will happen at trial.

We don't pay any money to google to use their service.
We pay to Comcast and Verizon for the service they provide.
In my opinion this is the problem of monopoly. US ISP don't have to compete among themselves to offer a better service as I learned recently. You/they get one ISP per area with no option to use a different one. Then they become huge and start to compete for other things, which in this case is the content.

This turns out is bad for:

- the user for getting subpar Internet access with a fixed conditions and no option.

- the user since they loose all privacy.

- the content companies who now have to compete with someone in an power position who has abused of that power before.

Arguably (because of FB) Google has a big monopoly on Advertising, but the solution is not to go thermonuclear on the other side!
