I appreciate Bruce Schneier's pragmatism and his acknowledgement that the problem is bigger than an individual can reasonably be expected to solve, if that individual wishes to participate in modern society. Too often, privacy concerns are met with, "Use Tails + Tor + a hosts file + a burner phone + a burner laptop, etc. etc." But Grandma isn't going to do that, and frankly neither am I. While an individual chooses to use online services, at a certain point societal and career expectations make it not really much of a choice at all. There must be a better way than placing all of the burden on the individual.
Even with ARCore and the new ML system in Oreo, Google can’t match iOS, due to the install base of Oreo being nothing now, and won’t be over 20% for another 2 years.
Apple's ARkit is going to bring a whole new swath of exclusive apps to iOS. These APIs currently can’t be recreated on android, which means most apps wont be able to be ported with all features, if at all.
It’s becoming harder and harder for devs to be cross platform and Google is falling behind Apple.

BLAS really shines when you do matrix multiplication, for element-wise operations the best you can do is to add numbers using SIMD instructions or put the load to GPU, and most numeric libraries already when possible. The benchmark about seems unrealistic, here are results from my newest MaBook Pro:

In [2]: import numpy as np

In [3]: X = np.ones(1000000000, dtype=np.int)

In [4]: Y = np.ones(1000000000, dtype=np.int)

In [5]: %time X = X + 2.0 * Y
CPU times: user 10.4 s, sys: 27.1 s, total: 37.5 s
Wall time: 46 s

In [6]: %time X = X + 2 * Y
CPU times: user 8.66 s, sys: 26 s, total: 34.7 s
Wall time: 42.6 s

In [7]: %time X += 2 * Y
CPU times: user 8.58 s, sys: 23.2 s, total: 31.8 s
Wall time: 37.7 s

In [8]: %time np.add(X, Y, out=X); np.add(X, Y, out=X)
CPU times: user 11.3 s, sys: 25.6 s, total: 36.9 s
Wall time: 42.6 s

No surprise, Julia makes nearly the same result:

julia> X = ones(Int, 1000000000);
julia> Y = ones(Int, 1000000000);

julia> @btime X .= X .+ 2Y
34.814 s (6 allocations: 7.45 GiB)

UPD. Just noticed 7.45Gib allocations. We can get rid of it as:

julia> @btime X .= X .+ 2 .* Y
20.464 s (4 allocations: 96 bytes

or:

julia> @btime X .+= 2 .* Y
20.098 s (4 allocations: 96 bytes)

> Snowden’s revelations made people aware of what was happening, but little changed as a result.

Things got worse and that's expected. After all these things were made public, if there was no mass outrage the perpetrators learned a valuable lesson - they can increase their activities without much fear. Pretty sure at this point NSA doesn't even have to play games with masking / unmasking filtering US citizens, they might as well stop jumping through hoops and just record and search everything they like.
I'm pretty happy with Scaleway - no major issues and their ARM boxes are surprisingly powerful for what they offer. SSD only though, with no large storage options.

Keep in mind that NK is in far worse shape than most (all?) of the Communist countries whose governments collapsed around 1991. Not that life in those countries was all sunshine and rainbows and fluffy rabbits, but the life in NK is a whole different scale.

Those governments also fell internally, meaning the people were pushing for a change and were somewhat ready to make it happen. Invading North Korea would be pretty different.

One big unknown (at least to me) is the level of indoctrination. Related to the above, a lot of people in Eastern Europe were fed up with their government, didn't believe anything they said, and were ready to build something better. It seems like a lot more North Koreans might buy into their government's views, in which case they might flee the "evil imperialist invaders." Heck, even without indoctrination, a reasonable person might not want to be near the fighting.

25 million refugees is obviously a bit much. The entire country won't pick up and move. But it would probably be many millions.
yeah, but i think by mentioning 'batteries' it means __no__ code is needed, simply a change in a config setting / changing a string to say.. 'username'-> 'email' somewhere.
> But, given the amount of previous research about harmful effects of fat

Dietary fat has been shown to be healthy over and over again. There's nothing controversial about saying dietary fat is good for you; it is established science at this point.

I believe what the quote was trying to say about saturated fat is that they feel it is less dangerous than carbohydrates and sugars, and while the UK food industry has been busy trying to reduce the amount of saturated fat, they've sometimes been replacing them with sugar/carbohydrate ingredients which could be even worse for your health.

It is frankly disappointing that even thirty years later, many people still believe that dietary fat is unhealthy.
As I understand it, the OEM modifications will be relegated to the vendor/odm partitions. They specifically hint at being able to push new system partitions directly in the future.

I'll admit to running Solaris on my desktop many years ago when it was still under Sun's stewardship. It was the most accessible 'real' UNIX for most people (being that it was free and able to run on x86). I also once had a job working on an old Ada codebase that had us stuck on SPARC/Solaris 8 (in the late 2000s :O). It makes me sad to see what Oracle has done to it.

In any case, I suspect most users looking for a more 'authentic' UNIX flavor than Linux have shifted over to *BSD (My home file server runs FreeBSD -- mostly for the ZFS support -- hey, at least a file system from Solaris-land will live on).
You should time it :)

Hello, please check the chillingeffect comment replies, it is basically the same question. There are no cycles since it's not a generator where the previous number is the seed for the next. It's a transformation which is invertible and guaranteed to be unique by the Feistel network structure itself.
Patriots in the Gulf War were pretty good at shooting down incoming Scud missiles - but Scuds are fairly slow short-range missiles, with a range of ~200-700km depending on the version.

This was probably a Hwasong-12, with a range of ~5,000km. It would be a much more difficult target to hit, especially at maximum altitude or on terminal approach (where it would be traveling very fast indeed).

Patriots have gotten much better since the first Gulf War and we have other systems designed to shoot down ballistic missiles, but it's still a very hard problem that we've not completely solved. It seems likely that the reason we've not shot down a North Korean test missile is that there is a high enough possibility of failure that it wouldn't be worth the risk.

It's amazing how many sites, Medium included, become so much more readable just by turning off CSS and JavaScript.

Sure, they look far more bland and become less interactive, but I came for the content and not the author's idea of "design".
I said this in the other thread (before someone maliciously took the thread down using the dupe command):

If we have to address this at the root, it's China, the pink elephant in the room. China, our biggest trading partner and also an authoritarian government (US is probably kicking itself allowing such a horrible government to be so powerful), is propping up this vassel state and prevent any progress made in the peninsula. If China wasn't propping them up, North Korean government would have already fell long time ago.

So what happens now? Do we just let China keep protecting its puppet until the puppet has shipped a nuclear bomb to a port in Los Angeles? I hope not. I hope the world takes action before then - I hope the world punishes China and North Korea
I'm assuming "when high" refers to carbohydrate intake.

so... we should wait until NK population shrinks?
or should we wait until NK prepares its population for its demise?

Thanks for sharing. It'd be really helpful for others to understand the use cases that made MongoDB a good choice for you in 2010.

Part of what I've felt is missing in the debate is where early MongoDB versions were a good choice, and where they were a poor choice. For example, I've seen it used in a number of places where transactions are really important (a number of fintech companies) - and I'll assume this was not a need for your team?

And as I've stressed in this series, my goal is not to argue that MongoDB is a poor choice, especially as it has matured. Rather, it is to argue that we have to pick the right tool for the job - and can't blindly follow hype or marketing.
I'm already extremely pessimistic about these things.

Computers were a mistake and represent the greatest threat to freedom in human history. The ability of those in power to mass produce perfectly obedient machines that can perform complex tasks without rest allow for a nightmare society. Additionally machine learning asymmetrically benefits those with the resources to fully leverage large amounts of data collection and compute power AKA not you or me.

Any state in history would have loved to have been able to watch its citizens at all times and know what they're doing and likely thinking. It just wasn't feasible until now. The big last line we haven't but will inevitably crossed will be the automation of force.

At least suicide is always an option.
Software updates alone can't fix it as you can ship all sorts of hardware with Android. Apple has a known combination of hardware across its models. Even subtle differences in imaging sensors would be hard to account for.
> and don't want them to...an alternative must be created

Of course, collecting user data is fundamental to providing these services, for FREE - without this, Youtube's algorithm would be awful and Google Maps wouldn't be able to show real time information, and you would be paying for all of the services users want for free.

If it's free, you are usually the product, and information just so happens to be the currency of choice. I very much doubt people would pay for search, maps, youtube, keep, plus, email, translate, android, allo, duo, docs/sheets/slides, chrome, earth...

I once asked Bruce Schneier at a conference to scare me.

He told me to consider the associations between data. Bits and pieces that Google knows about me, that Facebook knows about me, that Amazon knows about me...think of all of those little meaningless bits of data being associated all together to build a picture perfect model of my life, and then sold to advertisers, who know enough about your life to attempt to manipulate it at every step. And if advertisers can pull up every saleable bit of data about me with enough accuracy to sell me products that I actually want, then anyone with enough money and desire can get that same data, use the same associations, and understand more about me than most of my closest friends, all before taking one step away from the computer.

I'm still afraid.
Absolutely. RethinkDB was technically a far superior product but lacked the marketing and fanboyism that MongoDB orchestrated so effectively.

Today, Docker is following MongoDB's playbook.

Sigh. I mean, they're right, but they're also still missing the concept of "What kind of fat?". Different kinds of fats effect you differently. This has been known for a long time.

I wish you were right and you could generate burgers with your GPU, but there's no such thing as a free lunch!

In super simplified (edit: and inaccurate) terms, a bunch of WAVES have been specially flagged as WhopperCoins. Any client that receives these specially marked WAVES know that they are WhopperCoins. Even if you could mine WAVES with your GPU (they're PoS not PoW) you wouldn't generate WhopperCoins, because your WAVES won't be specially marked.

This is the basis for how colored coins work [1] and a lot of other token platforms work on similar principles.

Burger King initially controls all 1 billion of the tokens, and is distributing them as part of a rewards program. The only way to get them is to buy food at BK, or to buy it from someone who has some.

[1] https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Colored_Coins

Edit: the user below me says that WAVES doesn't work like colored coins, but you still aren't able to mine them. I'd delete my post but I made a slick pun and I can't bear to take it down.
Perhaps this is a good reason to have some sort of technocracy element to the federal government. I lean extremely far right, but in this case, this seems like one of the few things that the federal government should be doing-- breaking up stout monopolies that can't be competed with.

I'm unfamiliar with the decision, but why split up a company like Microsoft in 1999, but leave Facebook and Google alone?
Hard to analyze lots of brains of dead schizoids until we had a methodology to diagnose, permission to analyze them, and then looked closely enough.

http://www.nature.com/mp/journal/v9/n7/full/4001511a.html?fo...

Sometimes lots of theories come out of a minute variation correlation and sometimes it's just a sampling coincidence (like it's just how schizoid brains break down). I'm VERY sure, someone has altered a schizoid's diet to a more or less acidic diet before. I will bet that pH therapy won't be very effective, but it might lead to some other discovery.

You can. In our experience, we were unable to get reliable performance with SSVEP or m-sequences with targets in the periphery, though - the subject had to be foveating on the target to get a good response.

Given that constraint, an eye tracker would be just as applicable to the patient population, so SSVEP was a bag of disadvantages with no obvious upside.
It's worth pointing out that East Germany was one of the most (maybe the most) prosperous countries in the Soviet sphere, whereas North Korea is horrendously poor. To put some numbers on it, the East German GDP in 1989 was about $160 billion, with a population of about 16 million, so about $10,000 per capita. North Korea's GDP is about $12 billion with a population of about 25 million, for a per-capita GDP of about $600.

I'm sorry, could you clarify what you mean by "eliminate" here. Are you saying I shouldn't benchmark atan2 but something else ?

I just did - `go test -bench=. -benchmem -cpu=1`. Did I miss something ?

> I also wonder if that DIVSD instruction in yours might cause a floating point exception, which would be a different behavior compared to atan2.

I checked with the assembly output of math.Atan2. It also uses DIVSD.

Thought you were going to say "regulate privacy protections." Instead you went for breaking up monopolies. Impressive leap
Feistel is a permutation. That means it's a 1:1 mapping between a 16-bit # to another 16-bit #.

You run Feistel for each number 0->65535 (corresponding to the "stage" of the FizzleFade) and out comes the pixel to redden at that stage. Since it's a 16-bit number, some values will fall outside of 320x240 resolution, and you ignore those.
>I rely on Unity, Adobe, Google, etc. to worry about those optimizations so I can stand on their shoulders and benefit.

It seems to me like they might be doing the same thing! For all the supposedly smart people they hire, TBH I can't think of a single product that feels fast/performant to me.

I keep thinking that diet, and fitness in general, is a complex thing to keep track of. I'm reminded that the wealthy, who can afford a personal trainer or physician to give advice for a significant proportion of the time would be better able to manage this, and I wonder when it will be that our own personal digital assistants will be able to help more of us do that.

Problem is of course, privacy.. if Ltd create a PDA which monitors you, then it is Ltd who are doing that for their own purposes. If the PDA is owned by the people who use it, that is better.. but thats unlikely to happen I fear.

I'm a bit skeptical about the performance to be honest: Great tracking for AR requires careful selection and tuning of cameras and IMUs (inertial measurement units -- essentially MEMS gyro + accelerometer).

Apple has very tight control over their components so they can do this but managing this across a million OEMs and device models (as it is with the Android ecosystem) is close to impossible.

Tango tried to solve the problem by specifying out a software and hardware stack for OEMs to use but now it looks like Google is just too jealous to let have Apple have a good time with ARkit, therefore the "me too".

Thank you. Yes, I agree, that's pretty unfair.
Coastal areas of Texas are advised (and/or required) to evacuate in advance of a major hurricane hit. Galveston was uninhabitable after Ike and Bolivar Peninsula was literally completely destroyed. Those areas were evacuated, and Houston was begged to stay put so that they could be. And that was the right thing to do.

But Harvey was not a direct hurricane hit, and Houston is not coastal. Houston is what it is because it's far enough inland to be reasonably hurricane resistant. And Harvey landed 200 miles away and nobody knew what it would do afterwards, just that it would do it slowly. That's not a situation where you order evacuations. Frankly there's very few situations where Houston can and should be evacuated.

The local (and regional!) response has in my opinion been excellent. Loss of life has been very low. It's not over yet, but I've seen single-day flooding events that have been deadlier. Economic damage will be extremely high, but there's really not much to be done about that.
