The evidence lies in the failure of the cryptographic community to provide a solution with strong security properties that is performant. For example, nobody has even attempted an ORAM-based database system. We also do not have schemes that can efficiently provide an intermediate level of security, between "weak" and "strong" systems.

Either way, as I said earlier, it's a question of threat models. Most cloud users trust Google and Amazon. These companies also have strong intrusion detection capabilities, so with non-negligible probability an outside attacker would be detected within a reasonable amount of time. In such a scenario, it is better to have some protection than none at all.
Our education system and business environment produces a hell of a lot more innovation (including pharma) than the rest of the world produces combined. The rest of the world then piggy backs on all that and invests diddly squat into R&D, all while being smug about their social safety net. Don't be so quick to dismiss the US way of doing things. While imperfect, it's not beyond repair either.

Another really interesting potential benefit of this work is enabling users to create longer, more complicated passwords. The idea is that if users are less encumbered by typos and small errors, they'll be able to use stronger passwords while devoting the same amount of "brain space" (so to speak) to correctly using them.

EDIT: The authors are probably too modest to tout this, so I'll do it for them: this work won "Best Student Paper" at IEEE Security and Privacy last year.

I've had it in Greece, where tourist shops sell it under the name "Greek delight" because everybody hates and despises Turkey.

I recall it as being disgusting, but mostly because of the texture. I don't recall it being gummy or chewy at all -- it was soft and didn't put up resistance when you bit into it.
It's a good idea to search for a lawyer who is good at the specific service you require. We're working on making the data as narrowly tailored as possible to the problem the user is searching for. Right now, the data is filtered to the level of case type. Later on, we can add additional specific factors.

Verified reviews are also something we'd like to add. Also, we'd want to filter the reviews to show more prominently reviews from past users who used the lawyer for the same issue.
Trying to imagine the kind of strategy that will yield a large enough multiple of that valuation to satisfy the new investors, or the kind of strategy that would create an annual ROI that would keep them happy. And failing. Anybody have any idea what the long term game plan is here?
Please no. We've seen how much mods can be trusted when given toys. Any true Scotsman redditor will express their hatred for how often posts on /r/all are summarily locked by a mod. Often the justification is "lol no" or "I'm not spending my saturday policing the modqueue." Which is valid, but sucks for the 300k people that have to deal with it.

Also, I think it might be interesting to have multiple editions in the future. It would be nice to support editions in reduced reading levels for works which are not artistic prose (such as translated prose, or philosophy). For example, in the first paragraph of On Liberty, Mill writes:

> A question seldom stated, and hardly ever discussed, in general terms, but which profoundly influences the practical controversies of the age by its latent presence, and is likely soon to make itself recognised as the vital question of the future.

This sentence has five clauses, and one parenthetical; difficult prose. The first chapter of On Liberty contains a total of 80 adverbs, ~69 uses of passive voice. It also contains a bizarre convention of referencing previous phrases with ordinals.
Yeah that was a hard editorial decision :)

I hope we did a good job, but if you disagree then all of the commas we removed were done in a single commit, that you can roll back: https://github.com/standardebooks/william-hope-hodgson_the-h...

You can also review the changes there to see if you agree with our judgment.

This book was a unique case. I think the only other time we've done a big editorial change like this was for Pride and Prejudice, also to remove some crazy commas, but for P&P there is a lot of precedent--other editions of Austen very often make those same kinds of changes.

It's too cold to survive in the winter: Winnipeg, Anchorage, Oslo, even Chicago (solution: clothes, weatherproof shelters, heating during winter)

Nothing grows there, it's too dry: Saudi Arabia, San Joaquin valley, etc. (solution: irrigation or importation of food)

There's no industry: anywhere on Earth before humans lived there (solution: build industry there)

In comparison to the leaps that humans have historically achieved, the leap of 21st century man to colonize Mars is practically easy. Polynesians ranged across the Pacific Ocean, not even knowing what they would find until they got there.

Yes it will be hard. Uniquely difficult in the history of mankind? No. Impossibly hard? Also no.

Worthwhile? Almost certainly.

You don't need to terraform Mars to make it habitable anymore than you need to terraform Oslo or Anchorage. You build your own habitats, you make your own air just as today we make our own food and sometimes make our own potable water (using desalination). The difference is merely one of degree. As the 21st century advances our technology will advance as well. People will come to rely on technology producing air and water and food just as today we rely on technology to provide electricity, shelter, heating, and water, and food.

The key fallacy here is taking our present state of living as somehow "natural" or non-technological. Humans in the developed world live at the apex of a pyramid of innovation and technological invention that in some cases is only a few years old, and built on a web of industry that spans the globe. It's easy to take such things for granted and imagine that we could live simply without being so dependent on modern technology and industry but that's only a pleasing falsehood, we're quite dependent on modern technology and industry. Without it millions would die, and many settlements would not be feasible. Indeed, the current population levels of California are not sustainable without substantial modern technology. The same will be true for people living on Mars, the only difference is that they won't have the illusory fantasy of believing otherwise available to them.
My sentiment exactly. For my full-time startup, we've been trying, testing (many), and productionizing (one) object detection network for the past nine months. It was a tedious effort of implementing papers from last year's CVPR conference. This makes some of our MOJO go away, but in the scheme of things we can focus more closely on our business. Mixed bag.
Agreed, I was surprised this was surprising. I saw some study where some moths can evolve from white to black in a couple generations if they go from white bark forests to black bark forests. But that doesn't mean they'll evolve into something unrecognizable in a hundred generations.

I was just looking at Taylor expansions today (guid uniqueness...birthday problem), so, this kind of reminds me of that. First you evolve, then you evolve the ability to evolve, then you evolve the ability to evolve the ability to evolve, etc. So maybe there's a formula.
We'd like to be able to pinpoint a lawyer who is good at the specific legal problem that the user has. So we'd want to filter cases so that data can be counted on narrow ranges of very similar cases. Right now we're filtering the data at the level of case type, and we'd like to add additional filtering on specific factors in the future.

Some of the filtering and case patterns would probably be best identified with machine learning.
No crypto-currency back then and openly available strong cryptography was a new thing. It was a different time.
I mean I didnt think Linode had the financial means to build their own global backbone, I dont consider Linode special. Vultr relies exclusively on transit providers, DigitalOcean uses a mix of transit providers and often direct connection to popular local peering fabric or two. Building your own global backbone like HE, OVH, or any of large transit providers like NTT, Level3, Cogent etc must be a massive cost.
> Amazon basically bought the country’s sixth-largest grocery store for free.

For the curios, the five bigger seem to be, in descending order: Kroger, Albertsons, Ahold USA, Publix, and H-E-B Grocery. (Walmart is #7).

Ahold owns Giant, Martin's, Stop & Shop.
Okay. In this instance I can't actually follow your example without understanding what you mean by 'related', but presumably the meaning is such that what you are saying is true.

The word 'correlate' predates the definition that you are familiar with, however. I would ask you to consider that it may often be used differently by people who lack the knowledge or cause to preserve it for the exclusive meaning with which you are familiar.

This is what I meant. I wasn't arguing that your vector example was perhaps somehow in error. It actually seemed pretty clear and convincing to me that what I was saying was absolutely not true of correlations thusly defined.

If (1) there is a rate 'a' that always and only increased when a rate 'b' increased, and always and only decreased whenever that rate 'b' decreased, then perhaps we could describe that as a correlation between the two rates.

If, in turn, (2) there was a rate 'c' that always and only increased when the rate 'b' increased, and always and only decreased when the rate 'b' decreased, then this would be a second relation which was the same kind as the first.

It seems clear to me that lemmas 1&2 above imply the existence of a third relationship, between 'a' and 'c', which will also be of the same sort as the relations a<->b and b<->c.

If this is in error, then I am extremely surprised and concerned about my mental faculties, so please be kind and demonstrate the error. I need to know, and go see a doctor.

If this is not in error, then this type of relationship will have a property which we might or might not be able to describe as transitivity.

I have a long-ago grounding in logic and set theory, but my understanding of mathematics is largely casual.

It is entirely possible that I am using the word "correlation" in a place where a different word would better serve my meaning. I am satisfied that my use of the word is not compatible with your own understanding, so I imagine such a word must exist. In my response, I had been asking you what that word was.

It is also possible that I am misusing the concept of transitivity, although in that case, again, I really am quite taken aback, and I am certainly not meaning to ask you to undertake what would then be a significant chore of remedial education.

Mars has abundant CO2, Water (ice), Nitrogen, and even phosphorous. Those are the big things you need to grow food.

What is this silliness of "for all intents and purposes it's a vacuum" and "plants don't grow in a vacuum"? Humans can build structures that hold pressure, we can build greenhouses on Mars. That's where we'll grow crops and feed the population of Mars. Please don't pollute the comments here if you're not even going to bother with the bare minimum of intellectual seriousness. Yes we can concentrate the atmosphere of Mars to higher pressures, this isn't even hard. Yes we can build structures to grow crops in. Yes we can keep structures insulated and heated to maintain higher temperatures than ambient outside conditions, as is done routinely across the globe every second of the day on Earth. Is that the limit of your straw-man argument here or do you have anything of substance to say?
Hey,

Farewell Notes from ex-Google Employees (2008)
This makes sense. If a species is thriving and not under much selective pressure, it does not have to be optimized for its environment to survive. This allows for a larger amount of genetic variance. Most mutations either are maladaptions, don't cause any significant change or lead to death while relatively few confer an advantage. In addition, some adaptations may take many generations of mutation to actually provide an advantage or may need time to find a niche where a mutation that is a maladaptation in one environment may be an advantage in others (Sickle cell anemia gives resistance to malaria, Tay Sachs does the same for tuberculosis).

When selective pressures/shocks arise, there is a wider amount of genetic variance that can adapt to the new environment... a larger menu of options for survival, and this pressure acts as a feedback loop, further promoting that more mutations in that direction. Think of the pressures that led to the growth of the giraffe's neck. Perhaps it is this combination... allowing time for a species to thrive and have genetic diversity and shocks which select for and promote the evolutionary path

Show HN: Make Apple apps using Swift from these books
This is probably a good thing. Too many students waste time and money performing the surface-level ritual of college without any of the substance that the surface-level ritual is meant to support.

Spending four years in a cloister of like-minded folks, free from banal concerns like work and meal prep, is a framework built for a specific purpose. Going to class, reading books, writing papers, working problem sets, taking exams, etc. are concrete, observable, trivially emulated behaviors meant to support and facilitate that purpose, not the purpose itself: absorbing, grappling with, and applying ideas.

An enormous segment of existing seats in undergrad - entire institutions - are built around cargo-culting actual higher education through trivial busywork, graded to low standards. These seats are the worst offenders in the student debt problem: students are allowed to waste years of their lives, and all the money they can borrow, on performing a ritual that everyone else knows is hollow. We need to be aggressively closing party schools, not adding more of them.

Another enormous segment of seats in freshman classes (at institutions with relaxed admissions but reasonable grading, like most state flagships) goes to people who will not graduate within six years. In some states, this is over half the college-bound population. These are a similar waste of time and money, and their occupants will not even have a fancy piece of paper to show for the time they spent filling these seats. We don't need more slots in state colleges, we need close to a 50% reduction.

There are few people with the mental horsepower for the intellectual work that college is really about. Fewer still with the desire and determination to put in the work on a sustained basis. This population already fits comfortably into existing elite schools and the better departments of existing average schools. It's crucial to find every single one of these kids and get them to an institution where they will be challenged and thrive, regardless of their socioeconomic circumstances. It's crucial to make sure their rightful slots are not taken up by the mediocre children of the well-connected, though the upper middle class will have earned a disproportionate share through cultural practices and beliefs. But trying to get more people from outside this population perform the ritual college is a fool's errand.

Expanding the population of students who can legitimately attack higher education by increasing the rigor and effectiveness of K12 is, on the other hand, a great idea.
No, Jupiter is a planet not a star. Brown dwarfs start out well over a dozen times more massive than Jupiter. Planets form from a proto-planetary disk, as Jupiter did (you can tell because it is in the same orbital plane as the other planets, the same as the original plane of the disk).

99.9% the mass of the Solar System is in the Sun. 0.1% of the mass of the Solar System is in Jupiter. It's very big for a planet in our Solar System but it is very small compared to even the smallest stars.

There are aspects of a text editor that might outweigh the implementation language somewhat.

In particular, vi's model of user interaction is compelling. In normal mode, command keys take on the role of nouns and verbs in (rather terse) language for describing edits. In principle, this makes editing very fast while requiring you to learn only a short list of commands; there can be a very large number of combinations that arise from even a very small set of well-chosen commands.
I really don't understand how you could see Google or Amazon as upgrade comparing to Linode. Money for $5/mo shouldn't be the issue and it is infinitely simpler to just put things in folder then messing with Amazon or Google.

That is for static sites, for more complex sites where scalability is important, I think these offer advantages.
Sure. In more mathematical language, I would say that if a is monotonically increasing in b (considering a as a function of b, then a(b+k) > a(b) when k is positive), and b is monotonically increasing in c, then a is also monotonically increasing in c. This is easy to prove.

But of the relationships you list in your original comment ("price is of course correlated with demand, with correlates to perceived value, which tends to correlate to perceived quality, which tends to correlate to quality"), none of those relationships satisfy the criterion you describe, except possibly the relationship of demand to perceived value.

Re: what I meant by related, it would be normal to consider that X's cousin through his father is unrelated to X's cousin through his mother (even while both are related to X), and perfectly defensible to consider that while you personally are related to your son's daughter, you are not related to her mother.

> It is also possible that I am misusing the concept of transitivity

Not in your recent comment. I was actually confused about this before -- where correlation takes a numeric value between -1 and 1, it is not obvious what it would mean for it to be transitive, since transitivity is a concept that applies to boolean functions.
Merck is a US company. Switzerland has no government provided healthcare and their healthcare costs are also very high.
There is no such thing as a vertical monopoly. That is the dumbest idea I've heard this month probably from somebody who should know better.

Monopoly by definition is a single (or overwhelming) supplier. Vertical integration is about the exact opposite since it opens the business up to competition all along the supply chain. Amazon now competes with almost everybody.

We've had larger firms in retail and other industries in the past that died of natural causes. There is no reason to think different of modern tech companies. These are just the people who are getting the transition we have in the marketplace. Others will see and pick up on it to. You can't judge a monopoly over just a 10 year period of time.
This probably isn't a claim you should be making without evidence.

Mutt is a bit old-school. It absolutely assumes rather more familiarity with how mail works than most other MUAs, and the configuration isn't very... ergonomic is the wrong word, but close. Combined with man(1) style docs, there isn't a good way to distinguish obscure knobs one would rarely want to touch from things everyone configures, for instance, unless you're already pretty familiar with what's going on.

In a past life, I spent a noticeable fraction of my career dealing with email from several angles, and love mutt. But if you've made healthier choices, I can absolutely see being bewildered and frustrated by it.
Why the downvote? I seriously thought it was made out of turkey! It sounded weird and thus all the more magical. N.B. I was better at math than I was at reading. Plus, American. (Turkey the bird, far more well known than Turkey the country here).
I appreciate your honest opinion and I am only providing my own honest response. This thread is about AMZN, you talked about how some workers are treated at AMZN so that's what we are talking about. I actually happen to love AMZN as a whole and own stock in the company which has done extremely well for me. My company buys almost all of our equipment off AMZN. That doesn't mean I can't criticize them when I disagree with one of their practices.
