> Defining "applied math" as mathematics that has found applications is disingenuous, IMO; what is and isn't applied can change rapidly in the course of a few years.

Not "disingenuous" at all: I want to apply math, especially to making money. To make money is the main reason I studied math; I wanted math to help my career, to make money, to support a family. If not math, then maybe physics, some part of engineering, etc.

> what is and isn't applied can change rapidly in the course of a few years.

My experience is that that doesn't happen very often. But again, once again, over again, yet again, I am not, Not, NOT, N.O.T. -- clear enough -- running down pure math. NOT doing that. I just wrote that foundations as in the OP was too far from applications for me. I have been totally, overwhelmingly, crystal clear about this point in this thread, and there was nothing in my first post that ran down pure math. Again, yet again, ..., I was talking about my view for me of foundations such as in the OP. You misread my first post and didn't read my other posts.

If someone found some applications for PCPs, then good for them, and that makes PCPs applied math.

Better techniques for proofs of correctness obviously would be good work in computer science with plenty of valuable applications.

> What makes an industry with a lot of money in it, like online advertising, worth more than study of something completely theoretical?

Nothing, but most sources of financial investment want a financial return. That's much of how our economy works.

To be blunt and frank, Congress votes money for math mostly for US national security and because of the role of math in WWII and off and on since then. If some people at the NIH tells Congress that they like math, too, then that will help. But the remark at the beginning of the movie on Nash is basically correct: "Mathematics won WWII". Congress can be slow on the uptake, but they tend to believe that math did win WWII and had a big role in GPS, Keyhole, stealth, design of the core of fission and fusion bombs, etc. Congress takes US national security quite seriously. The other biggie for Congress is the NIH -- if only because most people in Congress have gray hair and want research that will help them if they get sick.

I've once heard a similar description for the life expectancies of cancer patients, new motorcyclists, and hard-drives. There is a high initial mortality rate, but once you get past the hump your expectancy increases with every day to a limit.

Let's see. This guy's thesis seems to partially be that "SoundCloud's paid user tier is a ripoff because the raw cost of the expanded storage you get is actually negligible".

What else might a paid user's funds be going to, that he's not thinking of?

* paying for the time of people who maintain and develop the site

* paying for the time of people who support the people who maintain and develop the site (receptionist, office manager, etc)

* paying for the time of people to deal with copyright issues - both in terms of having people whose job is to build and maintain the automated copyright infringement detection systems (and to liase with the recording industry people they need to), and in terms of maybe having some kind of batch of people whose sole job is to do it manually

* possibly paying for the time of other content monitoring humans, doing the equivalent of the poor bastards whose job it is to monitor facebook/youtube/flickr/whatever for child porn, snuff, and other horrible things, is there an audio equivalent to that?

* office rent (SoundCloud apparently has offices in Berlin, New York, London, San Francisco, Los Angeles & Sydney, none of these are exactly cheap places to rent - and that drives up the salaries of your workers as well)

* bandwidth to play the songs for the people who are getting a lot of views

* advertising SoundCloud

* perhaps some measure of profit-sharing with the users who generate popular content (I don't think SoundCloud has ads, though? Looks like it does, I guess I've never spent enough time using it as my music source to hear any.)

* maybe paying back the VC/founder money that's been put into getting the site to where it is

* who knows what kind of financial arrangements with the music industry, I can't even begin to speculate how complex those get

Sure, the carrot SoundCloud holds out in front of you of "more storage space" is negligible in value. But don't neglect all these other costs. Money for those doesn't just come out of thin air. Unless they've figured out a way to massively parallelize mining BTC with the spare CPU cycles of everyone listening to a song or something.

(Limiting the upload bandwidth of free users may also be a deliberate choice to keep the quality of SoundCloud's content slightly better on average. If you're not making enough money off your music to feel like $7/mo is worth it then it's probably not very good yet to be honest. But I'm getting off into total theorizing here and I'm not even stoned.)
Well, as Sci-hub doesn't push links to Elsevier in every paper they obtain, you shouldn't expect BuzzFeed attributing food blogs.

Lot of comments indicate that the code authors regret making their code open source because somebody rebranded their code or sold it and made money.

You always had a choice to stop development in the early stages and:
1) Make it proprietary - Why didn't you do it?
2) Have a commercial version - Why didn't you do it?
3) Change the license from MIT/Apache/etc - Why didn't you do it?
4) Charge for features/support/maintenance/etc - Why didn't you do it?

When you use certain OS licenses, you give the permission to its user to do whatever they wish including selling it and therefore, complaining about it later doesn't make any sense.

Mattermost for example, was APL. Then they changed it to AGPL because they experienced something similar.

Gitea was born out of the frustration that the original code was not maintained properly.

There are numerous examples like this.

So stop complaining and take action else embrace open source with all your heart.

When we call software “free,” we mean that it respects the users' essential freedoms: the freedom to run it, to study and change it, and to redistribute copies with or without changes. This is a matter of freedom, not price, so think of “free speech,” not “free beer.” These freedoms are vitally important. They are essential, not just for the individual users' sake, but for society as a whole because they promote social solidarity—that is, sharing and cooperation. They become even more important as our culture and life activities are increasingly digitized. In a world of digital sounds, images, and words, free software becomes increasingly essential for freedom in general.

We use Slack as our main form of communication. I was moved across the country because of the excuse that our "communication was lacking", so while I haven't really told people to message me through Slack - because I don't want to tell my supervisor that he needs to message me in order to talk to me - but it is just common courtesy to message someone through a LIVE instant message and ask, "Hey, I noticed XxXx, can I come over to your desk so we can discuss it?"

Your office policy is one of common courtesy and I completely agree with it.

This is definitely true of my father. When he was young owning a car meant working on cars, especially for a teenager who couldn't afford to take it to the shop every couple of weeks.

Cars are so reliable and take so little maintenance nowadays, he marvels at them. OTOH they're also very unfriendly to the shade-tree mechanic. The engines are covered by plastic cowling panels. Everything is packed in so tightly it's a nightmare to change anything. And it's all controlled by proprietary black-box computer systems.

I don't particularly like the font, although I only really object to the theta.

There are other nitpicks: The pi looks too italic to me, though I can't really say its wrong (whatever "wrong" means). The spacing between the integral sign and the integrand is too big -- but this is a common problem even in real LaTex.

Overall, it looks decent but just not as nice as the maths that TeX has been pumping out for decades now.

I've had a occasionally successful pair-coding experiences, but I'd say I generally agree with you. Pull requests and code reviews have a lot of benefits. It lets the team work asynchronously, so you can collaborate more effectively with remote workers from around the world. As you make some changes, other people in your team might be interested in the reasoning which lead to that decision, and you can point to the pull request's discussion. In addition, it lets you think about the problem over a longer period of time, without putting anyone "on the spot"; sometimes you just need to let things stew for a bit.

http://legal-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/involuntary+ma...

"In most states involuntary manslaughter results from an improper use of reasonable care or skill while performing a legal act, or [...].

"Many states do not define involuntary manslaughter, or define it vaguely in common-law terms. Some jurisdictions describe the amount of Negligence necessary to constitute manslaughter with terms such as criminal negligence, gross negligence, and culpable negligence. The only certainty that can be attached to these terms is that they require more than the ordinary negligence standard in a civil case. With this approach the state does not have to prove that the defendant was aware of the risk.

"Other jurisdictions apply more subjective tests, such as "reckless" or "wanton," to describe the amount of negligence needed to constitute involuntary manslaughter. In this approach the defendant must have personally appreciated a risk and then chosen to take it anyway.

What is the standard of reasonable care in these cases? What specific actions are necessary to demonstrate that reasonable care has been taken? What risk have the people in the article deliberately taken that is not also taken by the majority of parents?

> Simply making it illegal will detour most people.

Don't mean to be pedantic but I think you mean "deter". "Detour" = reroute, like "we're taking a detour to get some gas". "Deter" = Discourage, like "making something illegal deters law abiding citizens from doing it".

> I don't understand why VPN crackdown is thought to be impossible.

Because it's hard to distinguish VPN traffic from legitimate traffic and false positives will be extremely bad for the ISP.

> Open connection to a DNS port? sending large amounts of data? its encrypted? No one has accessed that digital ocean IP before on this network!

In order: Many VPNs will use standard HTTPs ports rather than DNS. There are numerous reasons to send large amounts of data, like backups. Encryption is quickly becoming the default, major video sites like YouTube and Netflix are encrypted for instance. Software developers are likely to access DigitalOcean IP addresses.

I do believe that at ISP scale it's possible to identify VPNs though and the things you've mentioned could contribute to a heuristic algorithm. Some other things to add are the geographical diversity of the users accessing a server (legitimate video services will have PoPs near a user, so few will cross the country), the distribution of response times and sizes (a pure web server will have lots of small, ~100ms responses, a video server will have lots of infrequent very high bandwidth transfers) and if you can access it, the outgoing connections of the servers themselves (e.g. Cogent can tell that a server is generating user traffic rather than business traffic).
With all due respect, these links are pretty dated and with an internet year being probably the rough equivalent of at least a half decade of the unwired world, they may not be relevant anymore.

Your skepticism about the ice core data is correct. But, it was the ice core data that was nearly all the data in Al Gore's movie that did a lot to get the global warming scare going. So, in a sense, just take that data, see the 800 year lag, and declare Gore's argument junk.

I don't say that the alarmists are idiots -- I'd say that they are after money. Apparently Al Gore made a lot. So did Elon Musk (supposedly ballpark $5 billion in subsidies). And many others. The movie I linked to has one of the most credible guys, Lindzen, explaining how the money works. Al Gore started the money flow, and Maggie Thatcher had a role, too.

I'm not going to check the ice core data for the points you mentioned. Presumably some people have done that. So, then, sure, maybe the original papers from the Russians at their Vostok station, etc. would be a place to look.

If you do go look and do then take the ice core data at face value, and the 800 year lag, then return to my argument in my little post and drive a stake through the heart of the global warming alarmists.

It's not about science. Instead it's about money and power. Without the issues of money and power, there would be no IPCC, Paris Accord, Kyoto whatever, subsidies for "renewable" energy, much of anything about solar cells, wind turbines, or carbon sequestration, and the whole subject would have less attention than worms 7 miles down in the Pacific.

Since the real issues are money and power, no way am I going to check in detail the ice core data for questions at the level of detail you mentioned. The alarmists, seeking money and power, have suckered a lot of people, and for me to spend time checking all the details of the ice core data would be my getting suckered because it's about money and power, not science. In particular, the contention you see is due to money and power, not doubts about the data. That's all just part of the real world outside of good science.

Net, what I wrote is ENOUGH for the science.
