> Do boxers fit this profile?

Uhh well yeah, much more than soccer players that's for sure.

You typically throw around 50 punches in a round, with about 35% landing, typically more than half are thrown to the head, and punches which don't land (i.e., don't count in boxing rules) typically still land on the guard in front of your head and cause an impact on the head nonetheless.

In a typical 12 round fight or equivalent sparring match you tend to get hit about 200 times or so, i.e. take 100 punches to the head from people who punch for a profession.

If you've never been in a boxing gym, it's absolutely ridiculous how much harder a boxer punches versus a really strong and tough looking guy with no boxing training. In that sense it's no different from someone who's been playing a guitar for 5 years, and someone who hasn't for a single second, what they can produce is world's apart, despite punching being a seemingly natural thing anyone can do. Getting hit by a pro 100 times in about half an hour (12 rounds of 3 minutes) is absolutely terrible, and there's lots of research that shows this (as well as many famous cases of brain damage).

The top professionals fight about 40 or so times as a pro, but can easily rack up 100-200 fights during their amateur careers, all of which are preceded by by tons of sparring. Typically top fighters spar about 150 rounds prior to a pro match of 12 rounds. All in all, it's probably safe to assume a professional boxer will fight a couple thousand rounds in his life, in each of which he gets hit with on average at least 10 hard punches to the head from a professional puncher. It's an absolutely savage sport, it's hard to reconcile that with my love for the sport. (the level of this sacrifice and sports glory are so intertwined though, they make for legendary rivalries and careers)

Boxers wear protection but it doesn't really help for brain damage. Gloves were invented not for protection of the head, but rather the hands, as the hands tend to break quickly. Head gear in sparring protects a little, but that too is partly against cuts.

But what if I want to should "Theater!" in a crowded fire?

Is that protected speech?
Keep in mind that the past actions of the NSA also include strengthening DES and strengthening SHA-1. The NSA also designed Skipjack for public use (in the Clipper chip), which was eventually declassified, and which was apparently designed in good faith and remains secure (up to the 80 bit level it was designed for).

Also keep in mind that the DUAL_EC backdoor was discovered within a year of its publication; SIMON and SPECK were published years ago and nobody has found or suggested a backdoor (plenty of people have been analyzing the ciphers). ARX designs have been proposed by plenty of other cryptographers, so nothing about the SIMON or SPECK designs would immediately raise eyebrows other than the fact that the NSA proposed them.

Personally, I doubt that the effort to subvert standards involves backdoors, which are pretty hard to hide and pretty easy to avoid (DUAL_EC is the only credible candidate for a backdoor, it was discovered quickly, and it was not widely used). It seems more likely that the effort involves (this is all speculation):

1. Making standards more complex than necessary.

2. Making standards more sensitive to bad randomness (e.g. DSA signatures).

3. Making standards where constant-time implementations are harder or slower.

In other words, they have pushed for standards that are harder to securely implement and easy to use insecurely. Why bother with backdoors when you can exploit common and easy-to-make mistakes? Given their expertise in spotting and exploiting these kinds of bugs, the NSA can probably satisfy the "information assurance" mission by vetting / correcting implementations used by the government, at least for the most important government secrets (most government communication would just use COTS; of course, most government communication is of limited value to foreign governments).
Since we don't have full disclosure of what tread secrets uber is being accused of but it is a general knowledge that it revolves around Grizzle bear 3 circuit board design. There had been two recent stories which tried to portray that the whole thing was of low-value to Waymo.

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2017-09-06/alarm-bel...

and this ridiculous story of previous version of this circuit board was gifted to departing employee in the form of earrings:

https://spectrum.ieee.org/cars-that-think/transportation/sel...

Both of these stories points to waymo not being diligent in hiding their tread secret or simply did not value this information much. That's why Uber is probably trying to make this figure public to make them sound greedy.

It's the energy that matters. A famous military anti-personnel mine, the claymore, uses spherical shrapnel.

I guess that lines up with the other reply about the shrapnel being aerodynamic, something with less air resistance will have more range.
So Jigsaw modules are shipped as part of JDK9 even those the JSR was rejected by the community (well, IBM, Redhat, and Maven/et al)?

I wonder how this is going to play out if it starts getting use. I'm guessing we'll see two types of jars published on Maven, maybe Jigsaw enabled and regular? (e.g. <classifier>jigsaw</classifier>?)
ECMAScript 6 – The features that are worth remembering
Not quite sure I understand exactly what you're getting at? Are you wondering if those constraints are less important because you less frequently order by UUIDs? If so, I don't think it makes a huge difference - merge joins are still relevant, and you'll often ORDER BY anyway just to get stable resultsets. If the question is if there's bigger benefits to hash joins for largely unordered data? Then yes, that's true.
If you had bought $5k worth of Ethereum last August, it would be worth $135k right now. So yeah, sounds about right.
The devil's advocate to that is offered by tptacek in other thread: that NSA's efforts are simultaneously hurt by the fact they don't openly engage with the academic cryptography community.

Whereas the public community is made stronger by its interactions.

> The culture of inner city black Chicago and the culture of rural black Florida have very little in common.

I went to an HBCU and honestly the biggest cultural difference was accent and tolerance for the southern heat. Sure you got skaters who showed up in skinny jeans or gamers who came in with their arcade sticks, but nobody ever grouped off like --say-- minority students usually do at majority institutions. My two best friends were from Atlanta and St. Louis and we bonded through late night Street Fighter sessions and DBZ reruns.
SQLSERVER admin and dev here: these features look really compelling. Though the best part is a team of devs could run these in production and do some self support and basically pay nothing. Not so in SQLSERVER land.
Oh yes, it is a much better experience now that I have to swipe six times to reach the settings and turn off WiFi, then do the same to turn it back on.

CitusData yes but RedShift is the Paraccel backend and just uses the frontend of postgresql.
Quite probably, and it'd probably be cheaper too; ball bearings are kinda precision things and the processes that make things like gravel or nails probably cost less.

That said, if someone was really set on creating the opening scene of the movie Swordfish, they could make those ball bearings deadly if they got them going fast enough. A 3/8" ball bearing moving at a few hundred meters per second has enough energy to fuck up persons and property. I didn't pick those numbers completely at random -- 3/8" is about 9.5mm and common 9mm handgun rounds have velocities in the 300-400 m/s range.

Edit: I want to call attention to other replies to this comment pointing out that ball bearings can be good shrapnel for other reasons I'd not considered. Today I learned a thing.

Re: your first point, how can you say I have not looked at evidence or psychology?

The aggregate statistics for road deaths and injuries include drunk drivers, high speed two way roads in Wyoming, winter collisions, etc.

I don't drive drunk. I don't drive on high speed two way roads. I don't live in a wintery place.

The aggregate statistics do not represent my driving habits. I am controlling my risk.

Re your second point, yes flying is safe. I don't dispute it. However, people /still die/ while flying. Ok, now why is that?

Planes are hijacked. Engines fail. Planes collide. Planes are shot down.

I can't control the situation once it occurs. I can only choose to not fly.

When I'm driving, I can choose my type of car. I can drive defensively. I can avoid certain roads.

You might think this is just an illusion of control, but how many people have died in a 25 mph crash in a very safe truck on side roads?

How many people have died on two lane roads at night with alcohol involved?
What's it take for an organisation to get kicked out of this standardisation body?

We went thru "displacing the human workforce" in the Industrial Revolution. Don't worry, we'll create more low-skill jobs - just like we did back then.

...unless legislators continue prohibiting people from working if they can't produce enough value per hour. Minimum wage is "debtor's prison" redux.

There's plenty of low-skill low-value jobs I could hire people to do, regardless of technological advancement, if only regulations weren't so oppressive.

How does this square with the global effects of large volcanic eruptions? The largest eruption in the 20th century exceeded the yield of the combined Soviet and US nuclear arsenals at their Cold War peak by an order of magnitude, yet the global effects were mild.

Interesting trivia: the largest volcanic explosion of the 20th century is a volcano in the US that most people have never heard of, Novarupta in 1912.

> Designing for the future is a guaranteed project failure.

Based on what ? There is no evidence or logic behind this.

If you know that you are producing say 1GB a day of data that you must store then it is sensible and prudent to select a technology that can support your needs a year or two from now.

And this idea that you always have resources to make a switch later on is rarely the case. The more common scenario is that a team is established to implement something, it moves into production and then the team either disbands or moves onto something else. Why do you think so many people try and plan for the future ?

In most enterprise companies at least it would be considered a failure to have a project that in a year's time required another business case just to replace the database that the team should've appropriately selected in the first place.
I am pretty sure consuming food with small pesticide residue is much healthier than starving to.

If you have a working method to maintain crop yields while eliminating all pesticide use and not increasing cost significantly, I think there would be a lot of people interested, and probably a lot of money to earned.
Comparing 1gbps of bandwidth on AWS and 1gbps of bandwidth on linode, linode is 40x cheaper. Its a measure of bandwidth usage over time, or data transfer. Its the same thing in the context I used it in, which is the industry standard term.

If I were comparing cost of bursting, the semantics would be worth arguing.
Yeah, when I said that I was thinking of the WEIM in the iMX6 chips, which I'm pretty sure could be persuaded to talk to a little TFT. The tricky part, once you've got the electrical bits figured out, is getting the memory peripheral (WEIM or FSMC or whatever) talking to the screen, and then putting together whatever glue of a driver to get from userland to the hardware. And then hoping that it generalizes to another screen, or putting in whatever effort is necessary to port it to another screen.

It's a pain in the butt compared to just opening /dev/spi0 or whatever and writing a few bytes to it. Don't get me wrong, I'd love to have a great library of cheap OLED screens that could talk to an RPI/BBB in a high refresh rate way, but for the majority of my own projects I'll just take whatever cheap SPI screen I can find and use that.

> certain very large deep neural networks don’t seem to need a drawn-out compression phase in order to generalize well. Instead, researchers program in something called early stopping, which cuts training short to prevent the network from encoding too many correlations in the first place.

This would explain the success of attention mechanisms quite well. If you are good in selecting the right input you don't need to discard a lot later.

IMHO the answer is: Once you have the technology necessary to travel interstellar distances, you no longer need to. Species are stuck in their own solar systems because leaving doesn't make much sense. The resources (including available space) in our solar system are nearly unlimited at the human scale, why take a staggeringly expensive and hazardous trip to some distant solar system for just more of the same?
What I mean specifically is cost of data transfer/bandwidth is cheaper on Linode. If you're pushing 10s or 100s of TB a month its a big deal.

You can still run your own CDN on linode & use amazon s3 as an origin server.
"the counterpoint being that otherwise no one would compose music is disproven by hundreds of years of wonderful music still performed today."

Do you mean the music that was created by musicians paid by the aristocracy for their work or the music created for fun by the already wealthy using their expensive pianos and strings instruments?
No, I see more than that but that's because I take the time to seek it out. It's not up to me to determine public perception, I am - quite literally - only making the observation.

In fact, I'm not sure why you'd think I'm trolling? I live in a very rural area where attending church is mostly the default, and not the exception. I know the majority of Christians aren't like WBC and that they aren't White Nationalists. However, it's the WBC and White Nationalists that people see assembling in public and standing behind the banner of the cross.

I'm not sure how you'd think I see only that when I was really careful to point out that I see much more than that. I see the lady pastor who comes by with a pan of lasagna whenever she hears of trouble. I see people who make sure not one person here is hungry, homeless, or more alone than they want to be. I see them stop to shovel the snow of a grumpy old man who is distinctly not very Christian in his behavior. I see them practicing what they preach.

At the same time, I see the online comments from the people who believe the WBC actually represents all Christians, or at least the majority. I see a sibling comment who pointed out just that, a comment about them needing to actually adhere to their professed doctrine.

I'm not sure why you'd attack me, the messenger. It's not like I control public perception. It's not like I made the sibling comment. Perhaps you're reading things into my comment that weren't stated or intended? Perhaps you're making broad assumptions about me that aren't based on anything I said but are based on your own biases?

As I said, I see the Christians and they are usually wonderful people. Unfortunately, many people don't and you end up with the loudest being considered representatives of the whole. You end up with things like the sibling comment. The sibling comment is a fine example of exactly what I mean, and is wonderfully timely.

You can feel free to attack me, or you can acknowledge that there is a PR problem and try to resolve it. You can acknowledge that someone already even likened it to Sharia law and wonder why that is. Or, of course, you can attack the guy who points it out and accuse them of trolling. That's fine, I don't mind, but it's not very productive or helpful.

Edit: Sorry you're being downvoted, but I had nothing to do with that either. Maybe they are as baffled as I am as to why you'd attack me when I did nothing more than make an observation - an observation handily backed up by some of the comments in this very thread.
What I should have said is its 40x cheaper.

But I guess if you factor in not losing customers due to obscure IE problems on AWS, we could have saved over 100% ;) by not losing customers.

Some businesses don't need to worry about obscure IE problems, and AWS will make sense, for us it didn't.
Yeah, I read through that trilogy, and the third book in particular really took it to a point of "flawed people fail to rise above their flaws; the future of the human race is wizards eating each other forever". Which, okay, is a valid story. Tragedy is a genre. It's just not really where I hoped the story was going.

The question is whether a grocery store doing meal prep can extract more profit than they already get on selling food. And I'm not convinced people are willing to pay enough to make that worth the meal prep companies' time.

Furthermore, we already have folks who are experts at that: we call them restaurants.

So I see meal prep from grocery stores (so losing the "secret organic small farm ingredients" sauce a lot of them bandy about) as being targeted at: (1) people who want a price point lower than restaurants, (2) are willing to pay more than grocery stores, (3) derive enough benefit from "cooking light" that they prefer meal kits over restaurants.

... That doesn't seem like a huge demographic. Which makes me think most of the meal companies are Uber-like unsustainable VC-propped up businesses, except without end-to-end automation on the horizon to save them.

With grocery delivery, the key would be regularizing logistics for some portion of their stock a la Amazon subscribe and save (and thereby optimizing inventory and saving on waste).

This is why grade inflation should be curbed at an institutional level. When you compare schools like Harvard and Stanford, where As are very common, to schools like Princeton and MIT, that have some sort of deflation in place, it becomes clear that the latter do not "help" their richest and most arrogant students.

That said, schools like that probably have other informal systems in place that ensure the powerful have their kids stay ahead.
I found the part of your repo saying " Googled around, found this (Swedish) which was interesting. Another datapoint to the claim that there's no such thing as a new idea. I should gather info from that blogger." and found it aptly ironic. Seems we all had the same idea.

When thinking about implementing such a concept, I ran into the same problem as you regarding the myriad different ways this could be represented or stored. Currently I think the best way is to create a hierarchy with the atomic units consisting of tuples of the form <concept name, description, video, article/guide, links and further reading>. Let these be vertices, then you can add directed edges representing dependencies to the graph so long as the graph remains partially ordered. Then you can just organize (potentially overlapping) subgraphs into ever-larger units such as tracks, courses, subjects, etc.

I found Xamarin development to be about 30% faster on average, than native. But, even with Xamarin Forms, one often needs to customize the UI and code to target android or iOS specific features. And that is when it's a pita, b/c now you need to know native and the Xamarin platform. And it's all on you to figure out.. b/c the community and resources available are much smaller than the native community.

Even with the 30% development savings, I prefer native. It's just less hassle and more enjoyable.
