What part of it? You are a bank and try to earn as much as possible with the money your customers gave you. However, states, consumers, and businesses don't invest as much as they used to / don't borrow as much money. What do you do as a bank? You lower your interest rates to try to attract at least some customers. Combine that with exceptional supply due to quantitative easing and you have what you have right now

If you read the indictment then you'd know he's arrested for writing the software as a step to conspiring, not for selling it.
If you had a diversity of differently trained algorithms, they would not admit the same sorts of adversarial examples. The risk isn't that adversarial examples exist -- an exponentially small number of them always exist with any representation. The risk is that you can search for them en masse like offline cracking of passwords. If you could do that with the human mind, I hesitate to think what you would find.
They could use the bottom of the car.
The tallest skyscrapers have issues with elevators because the cables can only be so long before they snap under their own weight, so you need elevator changing floors, which take up space and lower throughput. Either you find flexible materials with a higher tensile-strength to weight ratio than steel or you forego cables entirely.
If I ask the FBI for a bomb and they give it to me and then arrest me that isn’t entrapment. That’s me being a jackass.

If the FBI put cocaine in my car and then pulled me over, that’s framing.

I’m not entirely sure what either of these things have to do with getting arrested for creating and selling exploits.

Went to check out the samples page to see what Python interacting with a Node module looks like after implementing this myself recently in another project. However the sample page throws a 404 with debug output.
Maybe but I'm somewhat doubtful, Microsoft only really has an incentive to support Linux/Apple as far as enabling development on those platforms.
Came to post a similar comment. Of course it's anecdotal, but in our old building we had a +20 years old Schindler's lift (yes that sounds very close to Schindler's List, the joke is never far away) and in the 5 years I was there I never saw them failing. In a new building no single month passes by without one of the TK elevators needing servicing, at worst multiple times a week. And if they're in service there are still always chances they forget the floor entered or one of the special programs for limited access areas stops working. Definitely software problems but might also be hardware related sometimes. Like the doors sliding open a couple of mm then closing again, until the technician shows up once again. I know that doesn't mean all their products are like that and maybe human error is at fault here, but it ceryainly does not leave the same good impression as the Schindler's ones.
Its the same for all directions, i.e. linear motors.
It's probably me, but as an experienced programmer, I found the first edition to be numbingly boring. I couldn't stay with it and eventually gave it away.

The real problem I see with this, is the complexity of the components required to make anything seen in this video is orders of magnitudes more that vertical shaft versions -- thus the cost of an elevator will me massive.

What are the seismic implications - the tolerances on the XY intersections are surely tight.

How the hell would you inspect some of the complex systems.

You would need a sensor car that just roams the tracks measuring tolerance levels - make it a service car that repairmen can be in which has no walls. You'd be more cost effective putting all your large sensor objects in a car as opposed to thousands of them throughout the system

What happens when a rotating intersection piece fails and its the only route a car can take/the piece fails with a car on that portion of track - there is no door/escape/access to the passengers in that scenario.

Also - the building would require extra height to accommodate horizontal passages if the intersection between XY cant happen at ingress/egress points. If they DO happen at such points - what happens when E1 wants to go right and E2 wants to go left. one car need to give way, then get back on track to go... routing conflicts could occur frequently - like the skyway connectors between towers where that Sim takes the car from tower1 to tower2 but he gets out of the middle of a row of doors....

And as mentioned, elevators are already not that cheap - I don think all but the Nakatomi Plaza and Ono Sendai HQ buildings could afford these yet...

Actually - There are buildings with primary structural elements on there external (HSBC Building in Hong Kong, for example) -- So I could see this as an external bolt-on layer to the side of a building - as opposed to a network of tunnels and shafts throughout - but then that eliminates a majority of the horizontal movement, unless it wraps onto two sides of a building...
Soo many machined pieces... wonder if that is the production design.

Consider the context.

From the context, it looks like that particular snippet was posted as a counter to the notion that researchers should be concerned about false accusations happening due to the possibility of their work being misconstrued as the activities of a black hat hacker.

To post that as if to dismiss those concerns, is definitely tending toward the tone that piiie is talking about. While you are right to point out the word "accusation" is used, not guilt, the tone still comes through when you consider the context.
I'm not and here's why.

1. If evidence proves afterwards that the handling of the arrest was just and for good reason, then I'll admit my fault and apologize. My error in overreaction will mean nothing in the long run.

2. However, if my overreaction is correct but I withheld it, it would be far too late to point out errors by the government later on. News moves too quickly in this age to call out bad actors later. Now is the appropriate time to make as much noise about the potential abuse of power by the government.

3. The government's handing so far shows that they too understand this principle. They are acting in a way that best suits them and are using the fact that reasonable people are going to say exactly what you said to drag this out. At the very least, this practice of theirs without statement is worth calling out.

So my question for all of those who side with your stance is, will you be willing and able to drum up news in major outlets if he government turns out to have acted unjustly?
So again someone wants to punish all the legitimate people using a web site to get some marginal benefit from detecting the remaining <1%. The inevitable false positives don't affect the "malicious" users. Only the legitimate ones.

How many of these can be faked with some additional code with Chrome headless?

Regardless as others are saying, using complete Chrome or Firefox with webdriver solves all these, right? Is there a way to detect the webdriver extension? That's the only difference I think from a normal browser.
Do you know how many "early" social networking platforms there were? Friendster and Orkut were just two of dozens. Not sure why the one Amazon bought would be better off than the one Google bought.

Typically governments borrow (= issue bonds) for long term, and gradually replace older loans with newer loans.

So yes, these loans will probably be paid, but they will mostly be replaced with new ones.

But no, there is nothing forcing the countries to repay these loans. You can't really collect from sovereign states if they miss loan payments. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sovereign_default)
In some sense, yes, optical illusions are simlar to such "adversarial examples". But if you think about it, any kind of image is somewhat delusive, since we perceive it as whatever object it depicts while actually staring at a piece of paper with some ink on it.

Also, adversarial in this case seems to refer to images perceived differently by machines than by humans, so it's not really possible to create such ones for humans.

Accelerating and decelerating in line with gravity is a lot more forgiving on the occupants than lateral accelerations. Seems like this would put a big limit on horizontal movement.
Is there anything wrong about making a profit on a product you sell? How are they supposed to grow their business otherwise?
Interesting. I've done a lot of scraping and I never did this. Do you have a treatise that explains how it's done? I've actually been experimenting with headless Chrome recently because I like it more than PhantomJS.

Practically speaking I don't think IP detection is useful at all these days, and the only Captcha that can't be bypassed is Google's most recent version. The much more successful anti-scraping tactic is to use a sophisticated reverse proxy that analyzes all requests to identify patterns and unusual behavior, indiscriminate from the IP source (because any large scale scraping will come from many IPs anyway).

You do realize the expected date date for the mining limit to be reached is 2140 right?
My ideal elevator would accelerate at a pleasant 4 m/s^2 and have a jerk not exceeding 4 m/s^3. It would have doors that close instantly when the doorway is clear, and start right away.

That would be able to take me up a 100 yard high building in 11 seconds.

Why can't real elevators be like that? Why must the doors move slowly, and wait for 5 seconds before even starting moving? Why does the elevator reach a sluggish top speed, even with very little load? Why when arriving at the destination floor does it take a further 2 or 3 seconds for the door to open?
Also quite interesting is that total EU debt stayed ~constant 2008-2016, while in the same time frame US federal debt ~doubled.
Sometimes you get cheap landlords who try to avoid paying for routine maintenance, so you get emergency shutdowns instead.
Indeed! It reminds me of the root foundations of a TurboLift from Star Trek.
>Given the extremes required for sterilization in terms of either temperature or time

It can be as little as 4 minutes for steam at 270*F/~32 psi for medical instruments. That is usually for immediate-needs and 45 min cycles were more typical for what I had to do for a job. Boiling water isn't certainly going to do it.

It's probably safer and cheaper to just buy them in bulk and throw them away after a few days of usage than try to sterilize them.
It has been fixed.
Sorry, it's the demo devil, I guess...
As to the language, that's my hope too, specifically I'm crossing fingers super hard for http://luna-lang.org
what problem does this solve to justify the crazy expense, complexity and maintenance?

the reason elevators exist is because people cannot easily climb 100+ vertical ft, especially while carrying stuff.

on the other hand, humans are well adapted for horizontal travel - 15mi per day without breaking a sweat. and when they're not, there are movable walkways like in airports.

this whole thing is a solution looking for a problem, IMO. we don't yet live in Matrix-style human incubators with miles of horizontal travel in buildings that are also miles high - it's usually either/or, and not because we've been lacking these revolutionary elevators.
Conformal coating is good for protecting against crud on the circuit board in general, so yeah, it'll help against condensation. To be super sure, put the board into an IP68 enclosure with a couple of sachets of 'Do Not Eat', and use IP68 rated cable glands for all cables going into and out of the enclosure to make sure no additional moisture gets in.

Well, given the example in the article, any human with functioning vision would be able to identify that stop sign. A driverless car with inadequate detection would run through the intersection without stopping.

I'd say that's a pretty big deal.

I think the problem with the driver-less car is that it doesn't have goal-oriented general perception like human beings do. Humans filter the world through goals.
The world is interpreted as a set of affordances and threats to your goals, your brain is predisposed with distinguishing the two.

As it stands, this is not how driver-less cars are being designed, they are being designed to specifically recognize the presence and content of street features like signs and other moving bodies. A human driver might see a tall parked car with a big gap in front, and recognize a pedestrian affordance which he should steer clear of in case somebody pops out. The way I see people talk about driver-less cars, this "common sense" type of judgement would have to be deliberately integrated.
This will be how we build towers twice as tall as existing megatowers.

As beautifully explained by xkcd[0], "If your building has lots of floors, you need lots of different elevators, since there would be so many people trying to come and go the same time. If you make a building too tall, the whole thing gets taken up by elevators and there's no space for regular rooms."

But if one elevator shaft can have multiple independent cars, suddenly you've got a huge capacity multiplier without the space costs.

The horizontal motion part is cute, but I don't think it will matter nearly as much.

Conformal coating will work. You could also use clear varnish, which is what they use to coat tesla coils.

We're not going to agree on this because we interpret the facts differently. We agree companies should take on only "the right hassles," but I remain far from convinced, even today, that this is one of the right ones for Coinbase.

You think "a simple ability" takes less time. I think making it simple actually takes even more time, especially when Coinbase has a history of indemnifying its customers even when it wasn't responsible for the loss (GDAX/ETH flash crash), which means that a bare-bones tool with a ton of CYA documentation isn't going to cut it for them.

You saw a "solid bloc of support." I saw a fracas of tweets, bitcoin.org posts, and /r/b* proselytizing on many sides (not just for/against BCH but also for/against the other BIPs, as well as other things unilaterally calling themselves "consensus" or "agreement"). I'm still not convinced anyone but ViaBTC is in it for real (https://www.coindesk.com/even-miners-hate-bitcoin-cash-might...).

You probably believe BCH is currently valued in the mid-$200s. I see a thin market controlled primarily by exchanges imposing extremely conservative deposit requirements (up to 20 confirmations) that happen to function nicely as supply controls as well, and while I can't predict the future, I doubt an unconstrained market would send the price upward at this point.

Remember, the point of BCH was to make day-to-day on-chain transactions a realistic, scalable proposition. We're not even close to that being a reality, even in contrived pizza-buying scenarios. I'm still concerned that this fork will make exasperated merchants nope their way out of cryptocurrencies entirely, especially when intermediaries like BitPay face the practical usability nightmare of BCH and BTC addresses being visually identical.

Bitcoin has its practical use cases that have been hard-won over nearly a decade. Ethereum's elevator pitch is ICOs. Both of them have clear reasons to exist. But Bitcoin Cash's pitch at this point is "like Bitcoin but without the network effects." I understand where it wants to go, but for now it's just a speculative vehicle, and I understand why Coinbase doesn't want to help enable that usage.

If you know how to interface with Chrome headless then you're 95% there already. Just run xvfb, start a Chrome instance on the DISPLAY with the appropriate flags (for exposing the debugging port) and you're done.
I can think of three possible reasons why not, all equally likely:

1- no one has bothered.

2- it's been tried, something terrible happened and now they don't try it anymore.

3- it's been tried, but the extra cost doesn't cover the extra benefit. No one wants to pay for it.

All that said, I was at a hotel once that had, to my mind, perfect acceleration like you describe. No one else cared, but I was blown away by it.
>Instead of the laser, Dr Menon starts with multiple images, taken from different directions, of the object to be holographed.

I don't think it's a hologram if it's not created with a laser.

But semantics aside I think there are some practical points not addressed by the article:

1. A hologram created by a laser is capturing the light field of the object and so real holograms can be later viewed under microscope and contain said microscopic detail

2. If you split a real hologram in half both half will contain the whole hologram, and continue cutting the hologram into pieces and each piece will contain the whole hologram from the perspective of the viewing angle of the piece

3. Finally the article said laser holograms require a laser to see the image, but that's only true of transmission holograms (laser hits object then emulsion). Reflective holograms (laser hits emulsion then object) are viewable in white light without need for a laser.

I just started studying and creating holograms, and my goals would be: a). Bring holography out of the dark room (which this does but without the laser); and b.) develop the first laser hologram video

Nope. The first 25cm in front of the cabin opening are a flap, which means it will not shear your head off.
Classic elevators also need a lot of floor space to achieve good throughput. This system is basically like a paternoster on steroids; it can rise much higher, move much faster, use arbitrary circuits and has none of the safety issues. Even if this system only saves, say, 40 % floor space, it'd still be a win for many projects.

IP detection, especially IPv4, should still work fine because the cost to get a new IP will often outweigh the benefit of the scraping.

Having said that, just let them scrape?
> TLA+ is just a tool which basically does its job by exhaustively searching a space of possible solutions trying to find counterexamples. It works in some limited cases but doesn't work generally for any mathematical theorem.

Nope. TLA+ is a rich mathematical formalism, that includes a full-fledged proof assistant. It is, however, focused on verifying software rather than arbitrary mathematical theorems. There is also a model checker for TLA+ that can check your theorems (about finite cases of programs) at the push of a button. In practice, model checkers works in more cases than manual proofs, as manual proofs "fail" much more often, simply by being far too laborious; a model checker would verify in days what may take you months or more to manually prove.
The question should be why is Facebook the one to make it big.
