Something similar happened to me one of my "first times" as well (I had tried weed a number of times beforehand, but all of those times had been spaced out by months and none were very intense). I had smoked only smaller amounts before and ended up smoking many, many bowls out of my friend's bong without really thinking much of it. A moment of panic set in as I was inhaling my last hit and began to feel the effects of all the THC in my body at once, which made the high feel almost overpowering. A couple minutes later as the high began to set in in full charge I got to a point where I could not discern reality from what was in front of me; I could carry conversation with my friend or perform basic tasks, but every single second I would have a mental breakthrough that what I was experiencing was real. I still remember every moment of it, but during that experience it was as though my short-term memory had entirely ceased to function and I was forced to relive the previous moments by recalling them from my long-term memory. It definitely felt like Deja Vu, but the experience was also very unique (and frightening). The message I was left with was that drugs can be very profound, and they're likely the key to understanding many phenomena behind how the brain works. As frightening as it was, I would like to venture that deep to experience the same things again and hopefully explore that part of my brain.

I don't think infrared would be good a idea, I saw an UFO a long time ago passing by close to my home in Peru, it stood still in the sky for a moment and then it flew really fast and lost track of it, what struck me was that it was totally silent, even stealth jets make a noise, the UFO movement was also graceful it didn't seem to be fighting gravity, I think they don't use propulsion, they have some way to manipulate gravity.

I really like the idea, but the time frame of when the protocol will be "complete" seems (as noted by other commenters here and by the fact that it looks to have been posted in 2013) a bit sketchy.
Still, I'm seriously thinking about making server / client libraries for myself and others so this is less of "Here's this really cool idea and a few sort-of complete implementations", and more "Here's this really cool idea, and here's how you can integrate it into your sites if you want".

Strangely, these are the only types of dreams I can ever recollect. On the occasions that I do remember my dreams after waking up, it's often because they are related to a very specific thought I had before falling asleep (especially during short naps) and I immediately think of that after waking up. In these situations, it becomes very difficult to discern what has and hasn't happened, and I often need to think for a few minutes or check my texts in order to solve the mystery. Other times, it just comes down to a goal coming to mind that I feel like I have accomplished already, even though it only occurred in a dream. It's almost as if my thoughts from the dream remain in my subconscious, and despite being able to tell what was and was not real in these situations, I have a lingering feeling of some sort of experience related to the specific goals that I use to "dig up" the dream from my memories.
I use a simple PRNG, and sum its state to produce an output byte, the sequence of which is xored with the plain to give the ciphertext. The PRNG has okay properties: 1M of output can't be compressed by gzip, xz, lzma or any other *nix compression tools I tried. But I haven't used the BigCrush, DIEHARD or NIST tests against this yet.

I use the RNG as the f function in a sponge construction ( like Keccak / SHA3 ) to produce a hash function. I have not tested this for avalanche property.

I use an entropy gathering method similar to that used by Keybase ( high res timing of floating point operations ) , to generate truly random bits, which I then hash to generate an IV.

My key scheduling method is the absorb component of the hash construction.

I schedule the key, encrypt the IV with the key, then schedule the IV, then encrypt the message, then append a hash of IV:plain and encrypt that.

Ignoring the problem of key exchange, I believe the strength of this symmetric stream cipher depends on the PRNG, and how hard it makes a know plain text attack to recover the PRNG's state from the recovered key stream.

The use case of this cipher is to encrypt short messages, less than 4K.

Bitcoin payments are anonymous, but they are perfectly traceable. Quite the important distinction there.

Tainted money like that would need to be put through a Bitcoin tumbler which is unsafe and imperfect or only ever used to pay for other criminal activities as exchanging it for fiat in an exchange cooperating with any authorities could be pretty hard.

Your "logical conclusion" sounds like the proliferation of third-party suppliers which I understand is now a huge part of the auto industry. Sure, they're companies rather than unions, but my underlying point is that the two aren't particularly different: they're both ways for people to band together and get better deals collectively than they would individually.

In any case, I'm not saying unions should do this or that, or that we should necessarily cheer them on. I just want the same standards applied to both sides. It looks to me like people decry unions based on things that are not unique to them, but give companies a free pass.
There isn't a clear one-to-one relation here. The causes for inflation in real estate prices and rents are not as simple as "the fed keeps rates too low".

An increase in the price of rent should lead to an increase in construction, which leads to an increase in real estate value.

The return on investment is there to be made, and the obstacle isn't low interest rates.

CivicTech and GovTech: An Overlooked Lucrative Opportunity for Technology Startups
Strongly believe that if anyone is going to solve human level intelligence in our lifetime, it's going to be Numenta.

'But we can't even figure out worms!' - Worms are made up of neurons but they perform a different function from what the neocortex does so studying them is not like studying a simpler problem, it's studying an entirely different one.

'But ML can do X better!' - Unlike industry or academia, Numenta's primary goal is to figure out how the neocortex works, it's not about profit or publications.

'Biology contains details we don't need!' - Numenta's approach is not biologically inspired, it's more like biologically constrained. They avoid implementations that are functionally different from how the neocortex works.

I would highly suggest reading On Intelligence to learn more.
If you want to understand finance 360, from compliance to settlements, from middle office to government bonds structuring, sure, get a CFA. But somebody learning to trade not only doesn't need one, but very little of what's in it is useful. I've been in finance for ~10 years, trust me, very few traders and quants have CFAs, that's more product management, research analysts, compliance, controllers, risk managers, even IT. We are not talking about learning those jobs.
Good, let's just throw away the first amendment. Only government-sanctioned news can be broadcast from now on, and the sitting administration gets to appoint who heads up the department that determines what real news is.
"Everyone" does not find their own homes online. There still many, many buyers and sellers who are not online or, if they are, may not utilize or minimally utilize real estate sites like Zillow.

Furthermore, while many buyers may enjoy sites like Zillow, Redfin, Trulia, and so forth, if you are buying in a new town/city or area you are unfamiliar with, relying on a local experienced agent can help a buyer avoid costly mistakes, or worse, end up over- (or under-) valuing property and missing a good deal or an opportunity they likely should have taken.

Buyers also may wish to avoid paperwork and other hassles that an agent will take care of for them. Is an agent still a pretty penny in terms of costs? Absolutely but people still do it, every day.

For a more sophisticated buyer with some time to devote to the process, they may not wish to use an agent in fact may not.

Kudos to the Reddit engineering team. I've been really enjoying their quality posts as of late, and I wish more companies of that scale were as transparent with their engineering problems and solutions. Thank you.
If you aren't changing the sentiment, then it is a zero sum game based on the current sentiment.

Adjusted to average growth of stock market (and inflation), it is a zero sum game. You aren't creating value by predicting the future. Just like you don't create value when you predict which lottery ticket will win.
Actually quite the opposite. One of the benefits of being a larger company is separation of concerns. Our community team is a bunch of fantastic people that are focused on that side of things and engineering spend most of its time writing code. Obviously there will be overlap from time to time, but it's definitely way less than when we were 10 people.
> Can I not write a well designed and correct program in C?

We have decades of coredumps and exploits to convince us that nobody can. How many well-known apps can you name that have never blown up randomly? I can't think of a single one. How much more failure until it's reasonable to think that C requires an inhuman level of perfection and almost any alternative would be an improvement?

I hear good things about seL4 but that wasn't written so much as translated from Haskell during a formal process that makes Rust look like finger painting.

What is your basis for this statement?

Consider Geoff Hinton's publishing record, which contains many collaborations with notable psychologists / neuroscientists (e.g. Jay McClelland) who helped bring neural networks back into the spotlight.

I think that, to some extent, psychedelic trips can "awaken" the mind to future experiences. Like LSD or psilocybin, THC seems to have some of these elements that cause an "awakening". While there may be no physical changes to the brain, you still "wake up" to new types of experiences that you did not know were possible before, and the pattern-recognition part of your brain tries to connect new thoughts to those memories. So when your brain enters a similar headspace to where you were during the original "episode," it will try to find similarities between those events (despite the absence of THC). This connection might be as simple as just listening to jokes, and your brain would connect the action of processing a joke to what you felt at the time of the high. Using its "learned experiences," your brain would try to apply the old thought-process to that moment. Then again, THC has been shown to have some persisting effects on memory and these are not fully understood yet. For all we know, it could be a long-lasting effect of THC. Either way, this sounds kind of similar to HPPD, and the idea that it could be a subconscious attempt to connect two events seems very possible as an explanation to HPPD in general.
Maybe this?

>> If employers can band together to form a company and present a unified front to the people they pay...

IANAL, but I'm interpretting this as deliberately conflating the term employers with people within a company whose duties include making hiring decisions--themselves employees.
Upvoting because it is currently a very confusing ecosystem, and I'm not sure of the right answer.

It's a game.. basically you have to prep for the test.
One of the weirdest things about Deja Vu is that (in its most intense form) it can often seemingly create future memories. My first experience with Deja Vu that I can remember involved what I could only describe as predicting the future. While the events I "predicted" didn't end up happening, it felt as though I knew exactly what "path" I was on and what would happen next. It's a very scary feeling that makes it seem as if you've been sent back in time or you are presently dreaming.

Sounds like my co-workers here in the US. A minority leave exactly after their 8; the rest work a lot of free hours and blame their industry culture, office culture, etc.
I agree on all points. However, I have one honest sticking point. It seems to me that the US health insurance industry is a huge job creator (in other words health insurance companies employ a lot of people, doctors offices and hospital etc employ a lot of people, all to process insurance). As a very serious question: what happens to these jobs by going to a single payer system? A statistic I found showed health insurance companies alone employee 2.5 million people in the US. They also do provide a massive amount of money to the economy. I would hope that a single payer system would reduce the cost of health insurance administration significantly and thereby reduce the need for these jobs. But what is the macro economic ramification on the US economy and how do we mitigate that? I don't think we can stick our head in the sand and pretend the issue is not a real burden on going to a single payer system. We need to solve it to achieve the goal. If even 50% of those jobs are lost that is a massive surge in US unemployment.
Well look at the video for projection.
But you raise an interesting point, perhaps we could encode the 4the dimension in color or the stereoscopic channel (with VR gear) and remove this channel from the 3D part as we can do 3D without stereo.
True. But, conversely, Hinton himself says in some of his videos (sorry, don't have the specific link in front of me) something to the effect of "ANN's are only very loosely modeled on real neurons and we make no pretense that this is anything like the way a real brain works". (Paraphrased, possibly poorly).

The sense I get is that Machine Learning is mostly an empirical field at the moment, without a terribly solid theoretical underpinning. Which is not, of course, to suggest that ML researchers haven't consulted neuroscience at all. But there still seems to be a pretty big disconnect between neuroscience and ML. Unless I've just really missed something, which is entirely possible.

Because photos sell properties. My wife went and took about 30 shots of a $500K property that had been on the market for over a year. Within 3 weeks they had it under contract for $495K. The buyers said they had skimmed over the property a time or two in the past but when it popped up on their latest search they actually thought it was a different property because the picture were so much better. Shots from the realtors iPhone just doesn't cut it anymore... You want it sold, you hire someone to take the photos.

Exactly. I have 2 wireless (Qi) chargers at home (1 at my desk, and one near my bed) and 1 at my workplace. Sure, the speed is quite a bit slower than wired chargers (charges from 0-100 in a couple of hours when idle, instead of < 1 hour when using a quick charge wired charger), but it's completely effortless to keep my phone on a charger almost constantly, so it's always near 100% when I need to leave with it. And I still have the option to use the wired charger for when I really need that quick boost, but I personally haven't touched mine in years.
I used to drive through this neighborhood in college and imagine I would live here someday when I was rich. The real estate crash made it possible, as $800k houses came down to the low $400k range. Now they're back to their old level. We only looked for houses because our daughter was on the way at that time...we have her to thank!

The way Prolog is "declarative" is that it bridges the gaps between assertions about the properties of a result and actions used to achieve those properties. For example,

p(X) :- sorted(X).

is saying both (the imperative) "p(X) = sort(X)" and (the assertive) "a sorted X has property p(X)". To solve for P(X), one only needs to find an X such that X is sorted. This makes it difficult to say: "I expect input that, when sorted, has this property" because there is no clear meaning when X is uninitialized. Yet if you expand the meaning you can become "more explicit" about it and convince Prolog that what you're saying is true.

Their incentive of carpool lane cheating is one, as the average prius driver coasts along merrily with no regard to how ICE vehicles gear or drive. But that's just personal anecdotes again.

The main issue with them is the ever present illusion that electricity comes from unicorn farts (hyperbole yes). Talk of real solutions must include compromises such as methods which harm the environment less than the benefit they provide.

Shoving manufacturing, mining etc to China and other nations with zero regard for environmental impact needs to end. Yes all of your iPhone packaging might be 99.999 recycled materials but at what ultimate ignored cost. Burning circuit boards in the street is rarely addressed.

Even just the famed silicon valley companies which promote this socialist garbage cannot be burdened with opening their main company location in a reasonable nowhere town as that would hurt their elite status symbol.

One of the interesting segments was a feature made by a bearded David Letterman in Nov 2016 - around the problems with solar panel rooftops in the USA and the success these have in India.

https://youtu.be/bW_eGAwnfeI

The point it tries to make is that - the demand exists, the challenge is the govt and the policy makers.

One other point made in the same video is at the end by Prime Minister Modi - we need tech transfer from the US. Solar and nuclear . India is probably the only non-NPT country to be authorised by the US Congress for civilian nuclear technology sale.

But all bets are off now. One does not know how the current regime will operate due the "coal is best" rhetoric.

Of course, Tesla might still move to India given the repartee between Anand Mahindra (of Mahindra motors) and Elon Musk yesterday!

the major appeal of the union is that you can't get fired or laid off. This type of job security is crucial because it gives you massive leverage when it comes to fighting for those other things. No matter how good the pay is, you can probably get better via striking, etc.
Discussion at my office a few years ago about the economics of an ad-related service:

Me: "...and of course the advertisers will want to minimize the price they pay per ad..."

PM: "You'd be surprised"

Apparently marketing departments are often in situations where spending their entire budget is more important than getting views or conversions (so they can request a bigger budget next quarter), and they'll be annoyed if an ad broker spends less than they wanted even if they got more and better impressions.
I think you might be extending this model beyond its boundaries of usefulness.
