>enumerating all possible algorithms [...] for problem sizes up to n.

Please keep in mind that this includes an algorithm that has precomputed all possible solutions and retrieves their value from a list.

In fact I find it hard to say for certain that you can't for instance assume the existence of an algorithm that calculates the answers to some NP problem in constant time, but which takes an amount of time that can't be proven to be smaller than any other number. This would lead to a situation where P != NP may not be provable.
> I don't see how it could be unprovable.

It's quite plausible that it's unprovable, although you would have to be specific about the axiom system you're using.

> As far as I know the only way a theorem can be unprovable is if it makes statements involving infinity.

It does.

> You can reduce P vs NP to a question involving only finite sets by choosing some finite n, which can be arbitrarily large. It should be large enough so that the asymptotic behavior of any algorithm would dominate at n.

No, you can't. You don't know how large that n has to be, so you have to prove it for arbitrarily large n, and that's the "infinity" that you're dismissing.

> Instead of asking about the scaling behavior of an algorithm as n approaches infinity you now ask about its scaling up to the finite value n.

So you've changed the question to one that can be proven. The original question might still be unprovable.

So I don't see how your comment really makes any sense at all. Perhaps you could be a little more precise.
> And how are tokens on the Ethereum network capturing value in other networks? How is Filecoin better off with its own money versus people bidding for storage in Bitcoin, Monero, or Ethereum directly

Filecoin is to be a purpose-built tool which will provide a distributed way to make the guarantees rather than paying a single provider or using an expensive and still trust-requiring escrow service.

Things like proof of storage, refunds with an extra payment for failing to prove storage and a completely distributed storage pricing model will be built in with Filecoin in a way that could only be done by a single provider using another cryptocurrency.

Don't refer to these morons committing violent acts in the name of protest as "alt-left." It does nothing but legitimize them, much as the moniker "alt-right" legitimizes white supremacists.

Exactly. Their rights. No rights were affected here. They were given permission to use cloudfare, and that was revoked. The fact they can still go somewhere else proves that no rights were affected.

My post doesn't dismiss anyone's opinion. Heck, it explicitly asks for comment on why this might be so. Nor was I hinting that any one person is the cause. I do not think it is the work of any one person, even Travis.

But it's striking what a very reliable classifier the union of 'man?' and 'yearsAtUber >>> (> 4)' is in figuring out who's vocally unhappy about Travis leaving. Perhaps I am simply suffering from availability bias and therefore don't know about all the satisfied and successful women at Uber speaking up that their experience is positive.
An across-the-aisle analog would be a Democrat President demanding detailed visitation logs to Breitbart in response to the Charlottesville riots. You can prosecute violent crime without lazily trampling over the First and Fourth Amendments.

Response to this is overwhelmingly "private corps reserve to right to political speech within their premises"

I found hobby-lobby's denial of contraception illegal and unconstitutional, and I find Google/GoDaddy's actions unreasonable. In both cases, the left and right leaning crowd claimed the exact same exemption for their unreasonable actions. You're all the same - free speech and freedom when it suits you.

The whole motivation behind free speech is to keep it free, especially when it's unpalatable

Middleground alternative is to have a non profit behind the "free service". This works relatively well for some opensource critical resources like rubygems.org which has a foundation paying the bills, sponsored by companies. I think there are other good examples.

Problem is that social networks are hard to build, and tech people behind efforts like Diaspora, while they may understand the tech part, can't make something appealing enough for grandma or everage joe.

And then there's roommates... I used to pay $600 a month for an SF house, and did this by having 2 roommates and a live-in girlfriend. Saved enough for a house. Much comes down to delayed gratification.
I think the more dangerous problem than being addicted to it, is the affect it can have on you even if you are only on it for a few minutes a day. I find social media causes people to only see the best parts of other people lives and therefore wonder why their life is not that great, and than theres a nice downward spiral of discontent and depression.

Social media, used by some only to keep in contact is okay, but the subconscious comparison of your real life to others social media life, can be really harmful.
The express purpose of Free Speech provisions is to prevent the government from persecuting citizens engaged in political speech that the government happens to dislike.
Yes they are helping.

Is the government really asking for all those visitor logs?

"Yes, they definitely are," says Electronic Frontier Foundation senior staff attorney Mark Rumold. EFF advocates for Internet privacy and free speech, and has advised DreamHost in its case.

Rumold tells NPR that when DreamHost first approached EFF about responding to the warrant, he guessed "that DOJ would realize how broad the warrant was, and say, oh you know, in fact we're not actually looking for IP logs for everyone who's ever visited the site" and would narrow its request accordingly.

But instead, the government insisted on DreamHost's compliance with the warrant as written.
Many countries have different rules (and even sentences limits or additional rights for political prisoners) for politically motivated acts. It's because these are vital to democracy.

But I agree with you and hold a more cynical view that it's because laws are made by politicians.

> how bout we just silence rhettoric directed at broad groups

By that definition, we should silence any discussion of Democrats, or Republicans, or blacks, or latinos, or whatever "broad group" you'd like to suppress discussion of at the moment.

An actual good argument is that we should suppress views that may lead to terrorism. I'm pretty sure it would be easy to argue that Nazi viewpoints can be pretty terroristic. But then where do we draw the line? How do we as a society decide what is allowed and what isn't without opening up the system to exploitation by an authoritarian regime?
> Isn't the law supposed to be blind, or do political groups have a "get out of jail free" card?

Yes, core political speech is Constitutionally protected [1]. You can charge people being violent while protecting their rights to say stupid things.

The data is not labelled in the same way. The child has still acquired their knowledge solely from sensory experience. How do they know to apply the spoken label "mom" to the recurring pattern in their visual data stream?

With modern data sets and labelling, so much of the problem domain is deeply hard-coded into the system. It doesn't have to learn what letters and words mean and how to identify them in a totally arbitrary* visual or audio stream. It just gets a relatively minute amount of structured data that it has an embedded understanding of what to do with.

Sure there are things like OCR and speech-to-text, but I don't think you could just run your streams through those, there's just so much subtle information loss. In order to make AI that really has a chance of reaching what humans would call intelligence, I firmly believe it has to make meaning out of some kind of raw sensory experience analogous to ours.

*Ok, not totally arbitrary, a human would not learn language from a video of a forest, and that's where the "labelling" comes in, from observing other people using language, but a child can still learn any language from just that, and the labels are often vague, inaccurate, contradictory, complex, abstract, etc. There's no master training set with the right answers, you have to decide for yourself. And humans were also capable of bootstrapping language from nothing. I just don't see modern supervised learning systems ever doing things like that.

Uber employee and can answer this:

Travis had a deep empathy for the challenges of building successful products, and would offer tremendous grace and thoughtful advice to his team solving problems in the trenches. When projects went sideways, and we presented numbers that were less than stellar, Travis was both empathetic and optimistic while offering actionable guidance and a path forward.

"Bro culture" is a loaded term and the wrong one to describe the environment Travis cultivated. He had tremendous focus on the problems at hand and pushed his team to operate with a sense of urgency to solve them. If anything I think he cared too much about each individual problem, which propelled his teams forward but sometimes left him too deep in the details of his business rather than focusing on the big picture.

Nope. The drive's firmware generates the key pseudorandomly when it receives the "securely wipe drive" command, this happens at least once before the drive is shipped from a factory. Thence, the key remains unchanged, unless another "securely wipe drive" command is received. This happens transparently to the user.
Doesn't the ceo / admins of cloudflare have their 'freedom' to choose what goes through their servers?

It's not joke policing to assume some values of an individual based on their speech. It may make people incorrect, but as long as they are making personal decisions, comedians alienating audiences is nothing new. As long as the comedian isn't forced (actually forced, not just incentivized by poor reactions) to stop telling the joke, no censorhip is taking place, and the problem is self correcting.

Tried today to find a way to let amp-img mimic CSS' background-size cover paired with background-position. Not possible, so I need still to use CSS' background-image without AMP's preloading feature.

This is one of the most used features in HTML/CSS to handle images, people are complaining in the Github issues, others rewrite the whole Internet in AMP with AMP components.

This is ridiculous, Google just wants to restrict other ad networks' JS and recreates HTML/CSS/JS for no real reason.
Absolutely. My current position was carefully chosen (academic open source software development) for this reason. I did interview with some other companies, including ARM and Google. I could have definitely taken their offer and worked for ARM on Aarch64 toolchain stuff, which was also all open source software work. I would not have taken up a position with Google; its goals are not aligned with my own, no matter how much they might have paid.
