> Some people are constantly bad even though they know they will have to answer for their actions.

So you say. I'm much more inclined to believe they believe they'll get away with it.

> Some people are bad and don't want to be and it is a struggle.

Sure, but that's almost exclusively due to mental illness, not "rationality".

> Some people just do what they need to to survive, for whatever survival means to them at any given time.

Survival is reinforcement.

> Some people test the limits of their, and societal, boundaries.

Mostly because closer to the limit means more reinforcement. Simple risk/reward.

I want to think that being good is non-religiously rewarded (ie. in this life), but I'm not entirely sure that's true. I think it takes effort not to take unethical shortcuts or make profitable but hurtful decisions.

Apparently there are about 7 million oocytes created per generation[1], which could be done in 23 divisions: 2^23 = 8,388,608

So first, it doesn't require that many divisions per generation of human. Second, there are "errors" that get passed on to the offspring. Third, a lot of selection goes on so that only fertilized eggs without huge issues will eventually be born.

That's all fair, and I don't blame truckers for the accidents caused by others. That doesn't change that they have a job involving long stretches of boredom punctuated by very rare, high-stakes, split-second reaction moments, so they shouldn't be allowed to operate past a certain point of fatigue.

I found this difficult to follow, but from what I can gather, sharing the media file with another user generated a new media key/identifier that was considered to be owner by the victim - instead of the original user uploading it?

And then from here, by abusing the ad studio tweet functionality, it's possible to tweet using the victim's account?

Edit: Twitter's HackerOne summary makes a lot more sense "The reporter discovered a flaw in the handling of Twitter Ads Studio requests which allowed an attacker to tweet as any user. By sharing media with a victim user and then modifying the post request with the victim's account ID the media in question would be posted from the victim's account. This bug was patched immediately after being triaged and no evidence was found of the flaw being exploited by anyone other than the reporter."

As much as I'm a proponent for free markets & lower taxes, I want universal healthcare in the US. When big pharma companies & hospital systems are forced to negotiate with the government for rates, costs will go down. My 5 year old's type 1 diabetes quarterly supplies are billed at $6,000 per shipment. Looking at what's in the box, I'm hard pressed to guess there's more than $100 of material costs. The technology has been around forever, and yet these companies continue to extort these exorbitant prices because nobody had said 'Enough!' Same story with a friend's Gleevec. $14,000 per month. It's time to put cost controls in place. If universal care is how that's achieved, then so be it.

In fairness to the OP, there are other devices out there that do make any surface touch-sensitive, such as projection keyboards[1]. I remember seeing those devices being released more than a decade ago, thinking these kinds of devices would be the future.

Judging from all the existing fossils, one can assume that the prehumans started shifting into humans somewhere around East Mediterranean, but still got to Africa first and evolved there. Somewhere much later, after some migration waves of other species of humans, came the Homo Sapiens Sapiens' turn - they left Africa and only then presumably got into that final continuous settlements around Mesopotamia.

The DAO attack was plan interference. Absorb and grok that idea, and then the rest will hopefully follow.

Specifically, Viper has two glaring flaws, both of which are not suffered by E, Monte, etc. The first is a lack of correct encapsulation. Viper appears to have a Python-style object model, which means that it's not possible to closely hold a value. As a test, how would you build an object with a value in its closure which no other object can access?

Second, Viper doesn't have mitigation for plan interference, which means that it's possible for certain kinds of recurrences to alter your program's security guarantees. As a test, how would you mitigate the DAO attack in Viper?

Finally, I fear that these flaws may be inherent to Ethereum, meaning that any language on Ethereum inherits these flaws structurally and cannot mitigate them. In that case, maybe it's time to design a capability-safe Ethereum!

Your point is not very different from those who say AlphaGo's is really a human victory because human teams built it. Such a distinction based on a historical trace is not a useful one to make. Similarly, the sum total of energy a modern human in a developed society has available to it is not an insightful observation to make when talking about playing Go. It is more a reflection of a civilization's wealth. The best humans from 100, perhaps even 500 years ago would still give almost all modern humans and computers a very hard time. In fact, computers are even more dependent on a technological society (and so more dependent on a large number of humans) than humans are.

The discussion is energy use at play time. For each given second, a certain number of joules are being used to compute a decision. That number as of today, in an unaided match, is independent of civilization's technological state.

That said, AlphaGo has seen a huge (10x?) gain in efficiency according to David Silver. Still far from a human but nonetheless very impressive drop in just a year.

In England there are some weirdness with treatment for people with diabetes.

If you use insulin of medication to manage your diabetes you're entitled to free prescriptions. This is free from the time you're diagnosed to your death, and for all medications not just insulin. (But not free dental or optician care)

Prescriptions are low cost in England. Currently they cost:

http://www.nhs.uk/NHSEngland/Healthcosts/Pages/Prescriptionc...

>> The current prescription charge is £8.60 per item (£17.20 per pair of elastic hosiery). A three monthly PPC is £29.10 and will save you money if you need more than three prescribed items in three months. A 12-month certificate is £104.00 and will save you money if you need more than 12 prescribed items in a year.

(I think this is right, but it might have changed) I feel that it's an injustice that glucose monitors and test strips and these new devices are not covered by this medical exemption certificate, and that people with diabetes need to pay for them, even if they don't have to pay the 20% VAT.

England has an independent organisation called NICE that decides on best current practice treatment (with an eye to cost effectiveness). Clinical Commissioning Groups (the local organisations that commission NHS services) need to pay regard to NICE guidance. Here's their standard for type one diabetes: https://www.nice.org.uk/guidance/ng17

Here's their list for blood glucose management: https://www.nice.org.uk/guidance/ng17/chapter/1-Recommendati...

What's the difference? Discrete mathematical concepts are applicable to programming as is without modification.
I could think of some examples, but you might disagree on the "practical" part.

If I recall correctly, Pascal-style languages have counting for loops where you cannot modify the loop counter or the loop bound inside the loop. That is, you must use a while or repeat loop or recursion to have non-termination. A Pascal compiler would be trivial to extend with syntactic checks for the absence of such loops and recursion. But I don't think it's been done.

You could go towards more programming flexibility but a higher proof burden and use Spark/Ada (for Ada) or Frama-C (for C), but you would need to annotate loops with variant expressions to help the system prove termination.

Note that if you find languages without general loops and without recursion impractical, you might be disappointed by Viper as well. According to the grammar given on GitHub, Viper only has counting loops and no function calls at all except to a few built-in functions. The latter might just be an oversight, though. Functions are too useful to get rid of completely.

Article is from 2014. Probably should be noted in the title.
The article says: 'A definition MUST be an "if and only if" statement.'

It is an established convention in mathematics to write definitions in the form "X is Y if P(X)". For example: "A metric space M is complete if every Caychy sequence in M converges in M".

One may question whether this is a good convention, but it is a convention that most mathematicians tend to follow.
It's unclear what exactly you're agreeing is "true". If you're agreeing with the "incorrect to conflate", then it is true that it would be incorrect, but not true that this needs to be pointed out.

See my comment above for some of my general problems with trucking vs non-trucking regulation.

To your specific points, the company and drivers' interests usually aren't in lockstep.

Unfortunately, the company usually has the power. Correct me if I'm wrong on some of the details here.

But when a driver's in another city and picks up a trailer that's been overloaded, or one with bad tires or faulty brakes, if they choose to pull it then they're the one that gets nailed with the DOT ticket. Correct?

I know some trucking companies have reimbursement policies, but that seems like a really perverse incentive structure. Why not find out who the driver is contracted to for the load & fine the hell out of them? It's their trailer after all!

My problem isn't that there's regulation. It's that some pieces (like the above, and the absolute cutoff times for logbooks) seems like it was designed by someone who wasn't overly burdened with imagination, empathy, or an inkling of game theory.

(And on the driver-vs-company fines, I'm basing my guess on most of them accruing against the driver by the fact that trucking companies generally seem to be pushing drivers to make the shady choices)

By what pathway do you believe it is possible to start a day with money in Vanguard, end the day with money in Bank of America, and hold ~$1 million in Bitcoin for some portion of the day.

The Bitcoin transaction you have outlined, though, is not a routine transaction. I'd go further than that: it is impossible.
