I've been investing in those areas quite a lot.

The best way is to invest in small venture funds, second best is AngelList Syndicates, and then EU- based equity Crowdfunding.

Platforms like Ustart could also work depending on check size.

The main constraint is to understand how much money. 20k is way different than 200k and 2M.

Feel free to reach out via email / twitter and I'll be happy to suggest a few venture firms that could work depending on your check size.

They need to get data in like... 3 seconds... So the operators can shut the machine down if something goes wrong.

But now the machine has much more intelligence, so it shuts itself off quicker. And where they needed to check the "low latency" and "realtime" boxes in the 90s to get adequate performance, now any bus (like Ethernet, or you can stick Ethercat or Powerlink on top if you need realtime) is so much faster that it doesn't matter.

It's like someone saying they need their Enterprise-grade 15k RPM SCSI drives in their server...when they just need an ordinary consumer SATAIII SSD.

Economies of scale are huge in tech. Stuff that reaches billions of people is often more performant than specialized gear.

"No model is ever "fixed" if that means 100% correct."

One definition of broken for a proposed alternative to the status quo is if the alternative under-performs it. Kind of makes one ask why anyone would adopt it to begin with. There's a simple model using temperature that works pretty well. Google's solution is said to perform worse than that with more false positives. Google's isn't "fixed" or "working" until they show it outperforms the simple solution that works with similar error margin and cost.

In other words, it isn't good until people would want to give up existing method to get extra benefits or cost savings new one brings.

Show HN: Solid – A comprehensive gradient-free optimization framework in Python
In university I wrote an essay arguing that consciousness was something in another dimension of reality and that the brain "projected" it's perceptions into that dimension. I also argued that that other dimension didn't pass any data back to the brain -- it was a one way street. ie. I argued that behavior wasn't influenced by the other dimension. However, like yourself I realized that my theory was false. The very fact that I spent so much time sitting around thinking about consciousness (behaviour) proved my theory false by counterexample. So we know that consciousness, in addition to adding an experiencial aspect to humans also has a computational / behaviour-affecting aspect to it.

The AIM-9X uses an infrared imager which is why it is "all aspect" -- it is chasing a plane and not a hot spot per se. Dirty flares should not impact this too much in principle.

Given the age of the software in these missiles, the issue is likely relatively weak and brittle classifiers being used to separate noise from signal. It is not based on any kind of modern deep learning techniques.

I remember writing documentation for a Perl system in 2001 - it was using MySQL MyISAM tables and the main developer had a few hundred thousand lines of Perl that acted as the same kind of client attempt at transactions. It was a mess and huge amounts of money were spent on trying to get the thing to work. A few months later InnoDB came along and made it apparent that trying to write transaction logic in the client was a very bad idea, which seems to be the point of this article.

RE: second paragraph. But that explains, for example, the physical phenomenon of language. A complex system has reference points to itself, and structures in the brain organize to speak about things, including about itself, using terms like "experience" and "feels like, etc". But it does not explain the conscious "internal" phenomenon of language, of preparing a speech, of grasping for words, etc. See what I mean? Like p-zombies. Someone else describes their stream-of-consciousness. But that speech, those patterns in the brain, etc, are but a physical phenomenon. They tell us nothing about the subjective conscious experience. We could have a robot not have consciousness and replicate that speech the same.

Unfortunately buying a TV without the smarts also means sacrificing the DVB-T tuner, as well as the price being significantly higher. It looks like the commercial version of a ~2012 panel (http://pro.sony.com.au/pro/product/professional-displays-bra...) retains at least some of the smarts. I like the idea of driving a TV via RS232 but the replacement for the tuner - a HDHomeRun - is sold at ridiculous prices in Australia.

I bought my 4K TV at $800 - at RRP of $1800 I would have been really angry but I can buy a 4K HDMI switch and get over it.

I've seen it occasionally used to refer to Americans, because technically speaking, any citizen of any country of North or South America is an "American", and yet citizens of the USA don't recognize this.

Most of the mesh networking / routing protocol community has always viewed CJDNS with great puzzlement. What is it? You're not going to find out from the community around it, who invariably respond to technical questions with lots of handwaving about how nothing else is "decentralized enough". You're not really going to get a very clear picture from the whitepaper on Github, which has a huge amount of detail on a cute encoding scheme and some handrolled crypto, but no real overview of any of the theory of the system.

It's basically a network of VPN tunnels. They call the network "hyperboria" and, as an overlay network, it runs on top of the internet. It doesn't provide anything that https doesn't already provide, but the community insists that it is a "mesh network" that will replace the internet. The basis for this claim is the fact that one could conceivably run one of the tunnels over an ethernet link. But today, as far as I can tell, it's a bunch of dudes with regular ISP connections looking at websites over a VPN. A very different thing than the community mesh networks actually providing internet access in places like Athens, Catalonia, and Berlin.

The one interesting thing about CJDNS was the DHT routing technique that they just got rid of. It could drastically cut down on the amount of memory used for routing information by each node. In theory, you could route to any destination in the world on a completely flat network. This is in contrast to the system today, where routers know about every IP reachable on their subnet and rely on other routers to deal with traffic bound for other subnets. Some previous work[1][2] (unfortunately not cited by CJDNS in their paper), can give you a much clearer and theoretically solid idea of how this works.

I believe that if somebody is ever able to make DHT routing performant, it will be a huge breakthrough. I guess CJDNS will not be that project. AFAIK the DHT routing protocol that CJDNS just replaced was not able to find optimal routes. Your packets would get to their destination somehow, but it's very unlikely that they would get there on the shortest path. Sounds like CJDNS has given up on trying to improve it, and is now purely a hobbyist VPN network with centralized control.

I highly recommend you read the papers below, DHT routing is actually very interesting. Hopefully a newer, more theoretically rigorous project to achieve this will emerge now that CJDNS has dropped the concept.

I'm the author and just found out this had been posted in HN. (Via, as I've come to expect from this audience, someone from HN pointing out the misuse of it's vs. its in the comments...classic).

Your snark is a result of you completely missing the context of this post. This post didn't exist in a vacuum. We had an audience and community built at this point, and an entire series of monthly updates on our traffic growth, and they kept asking about what tools we use, what tools we use, what tools we use, so we finally wrote it up into a post. For them "16,000" was less relevant in the title than "$52/m"

Here is 7 POST SERIES on our traffic growth: https://growandconvert.com/top-content-marketing-articles/#t...

And for good measure, here's a separate article just about promotion, which is probably what you were looking for: https://growandconvert.com/content-marketing/community-conte...

Let me know if those are "beefed up filler content".

Also, btw, when you run a blog it makes sense to link to a bunch of your other posts, so new people can quickly get their bearings and find your key content easily without hunting around.

This is a terrible idea. First lets ignore the thermodynamic efficiency losses compared to a regular chilled water cooling system. Liquid air is a potent oxidizer and the Underground has myriad sources of ignition and flammable things like people. Plus the risk of frostbite from exposure is very real. A control failure could kill people and ignite a raging fire underground.
For sure. The challenges are different but paying the bills with a boring business SaaS is way easier.
Good for the CIA having skills and tools like this. These are needed.

But is hacking really a "weapon"? I think that hacking is a technical capability or tool, but I wouldn't call it a weapon.

The flip side of this is that we have to realize that as long as vulnerabilities are put in to protocols/products on behalf of Govts, The Govts can exploit them sure, but other people who ahve the ability to read or view code will eventually find out/figure out these weaknesses/exploits also.

Like weakening a protocol that all systems, even your own use. Then not even the govt itself is safe or can defend adequately against them.

I really believe in Security Karma.
It's not wrong. The point is about tools, not the traffic, you guys are all missing the context of the article, it didn't get published in a vacuum. Please see my comment above.
surely one of the reasons is that very very few PC's came with fireware. so the customer base was limited.
He's talking about "fail fast" failing to rescue Firewire, not Apple.
That sounds ridiculously expensive. It's much cheaper just to pump cool air through the tunnels starting in the evening, and through the night.
That tends to happen with most new disruptive technologies. So we probably won't see the same thing happen again with microcomputers, but maybe with AR goggles or whatever comes next.
IFTTT data access project
> the FBI withdrew the request exactly because they did access the phone by themselves

As far as I saw, that was just speculation. Any source on that? I'm inclined to believe it, but if true: why do they want the encryption removed rather than just snooping that data on the sly? It's better if your victims think they are secure.

> lol. Isn't there tons of reports claiming that PGP leaks too much metadata? And that the NSA is collecting those? And that there's no reasonable way to use PGP without leaking those (like hidden-sender whatever).

Possibly. But if so, I haven't seen them. Sources please.

While meta-data is absolutely useful, contents are even more useful. Just because something has one security issue doens't mean that we should give up security altogether.

> Because I want specifics

What specifics? Do you want me to make up a story about how someone could use information to attack someone else? or to use existing examples: http://www.cnn.com/2013/10/04/world/americas/silk-road-ross-... https://cpj.org/blog/2017/06/how-surveillance-trolls-and-fea... These are just 2 examples I pulled from a 5 minute search.

This isn't anything new. Having access to communication is pretty much the basis for espionage. If you don't see how that applies.... I'm not sure I can help you.

> legal government related. In which case Google can't (and won't) protect you

That's my point. They can protect you, they choose not to. Zero-knowledge encryption is still a thing. Just because Google doesn't use it doesn't mean it's not possible.

> non-government related. In which case you are better protected with gmail than most things you can reasonably do. Ask Hillary Clinton. :)

Only if Google can't access that data. If they can, it's much easier to bypass encryption and just ask Google to hand it over. Google can solve this problem but chooses not to.

> Where did I say we shouldn't ensure privacy/security?

When you say that gmail should be trusted. There are clear privacy/security holes with their model that you are ignoring. That's what this whole discussion is about.

> What I'm refuting is your claim that "it's bullshit because it failed once"

A) It didn't just fail once.

B) Failing just once proves that the system is not secure, and needs to be fixed. Failing multiple times from the same attack vector proves that they aren't taking security/privacy seriously, because they won't fix the root problem.

> Most things in your life fail more often than that

... so? Whether thing A fails more often than thing B has no bearing on whether thing B can and will fail.

SpaceX's stated goal is exactly that - turning spacecraft into something more like a commercial airliner. Quick inspection, refuel, send it up again within 24 hours.

The Shuttle threw away its fuel tank, dropped its SRBs into corrosive salt water, and needed all 35,000 tiles inspected every time. The SSMEs needed a full removal and rebuild.

SpaceX has deliberately gone with multiple, redundant, lower-performance engines that are easier to maintain and less sensitive to the forces of launch and re-entry. More like a Toyota Corolla versus the Space Shuttle's F1 racecar - and every generation of the Falcon (there've been five so far) incorporates lessons learned to make it more rapidly reusable.
