Everyone in the chain of command in 7th fleet (from ADM Smith on down through the captains and those standing watch) should have been separated and potentially prosecuted for negligence. UI confusion would be an excuse for an untrained civilian being put on the bridge and told to run the ship, but not for professionals, and obviously many systems failed for this to happen. When the military runs well, it runs on accountability -- there's been a serious shortage of that, especially above O-6, for a long time.

"Retiring" without losing rank doesn't cut it.
Yes, low dosages (200 mg/week) of eg testosterone enthanate will make most guys over 35 feel ten years younger. Bodybuilders would laugh at such low dosages as this is far less than one would take on a typical cycle, but the benefits are undeniable, with few negatives. However, it's illegal unless prescribed.
Then those people don't have to use the service.

I'm loving the humblebrag in this post.
That works on phones because app developers desperately want their (typically) free app to be installed and permissions is one thing that turns people away, so they try to minimise permission requests. Additionally, apps (at least on iOS) are expected to work even when some permissions are refused (eg. camera access for a shopping list app) so the permission request is often one you can genuinely say "no" to.

But device drivers for a desktop machine? The user has paid good money for that device and are going to grant every permission they need to get it working. Asking for each permission individually is just noise.
Throwing your hands in the air because it's 'too hard' is not an acceptable reaction. What is popular is rarely what is good. I'd venture to suggest that what is popular is often vapid, self-serving and short-sighted.

The longest journey starts with a single step. The man who moves a mountain begins by carrying away small stones. Many hands make light work. There is precedent for accomplishing great things by 'just starting and keeping at it until you get there'. Start local. Start small.

Waiting for a 'tech breakthrough' is akin to waiting for 'the rapture'.
It's also harder to do. It requires technical knowledge and some planning, not some drunk teenagers.
Are those the only stocks you have picked? Have you picked any that didn't do as well? Or any that were losers? What led you to miss on Apple or Priceline?
When I was new to C, I looked at the different code formatting styles, and I found the GNU style to be ugly and horrible on a visceral level.

Then I learned about the GNU project and Emacs and stuff, and I noticed the peculiar sense of my aesthetic sense being recalibrated, so that after a little while I found the GNU style code to be pleasing, symmetrical, and well thought out.

That was a really interesting experience because I learned how aesthetic snap judgments can be retrained, and quite quickly.
Hi Tent, thanks for your answer. Can you elaborate on #2? Is your suggestion to run a private BigChainDB network of nodes you control?

Also, are suggesting that no sensitive data should ever be stored in a BigChainDB, or I misinterpret #3?

There are plenty of examples of "UI confusion" causing professionals to make mistakes in all sorts of industries. I'd suggest taking a look at the book "Behind Human Error," for example.

Mike, given all your experience, do you have a preferred relational db? I'm assuming the answer is "it depends" but I feel like, say, MySQL and Postgres are fairly indentical in terms of usecase.

I'm assuming you know pretty much every dark corner of the dbs you have engines for in sqla. It must be a little hard forever supporting strange breakages like your example above when it's a db you don't care for as much.

Google was never pointed at Documentation, so you wouldn't find it there. There were constant concerns within the meta SO community about the quality of the content and how embarrassing it would be (not a small fraction of it was worse than W3Schools of old - https://meta.stackoverflow.com/questions/334638/ ). It could have been rather damaging to the SO brand to have such poor material shown as examples of what is desired.
Yes, that's the ideal case...

But what do you want to do more?

1) Trust some company to keep a very important private key secure for a long time? (with attackers knowing it's a single high-value target)

2) Or be confident that the private key was used once and destroyed forever? Even if the private key generated on your device could be recovered it would only be good for an attack against you making it a lower priority to attackers.
The title of the article is incredibly misleading. According to the content of the article, you could use, "as much energy as your house [uses] in a week," to mine a bitcoin and still make a profit off of it due to the current price of bitcoin.

That's a very different thing from a single transaction using that much energy.
Caveat: you are paid in the one that depreciates in value, and have to find other means to acquire the one that is volatile.
Figure 69 shows Bonin's stick inputs before Robert took control (and a few seconds after). As explained on p. 182 of the report, Robert pressed the override switch at this point and took control, so Bonin's stick inputs would have been ignored. Bonin then took back control by himself pressing the override switch. In effect, then, at this late stage, the pilots were fighting over the stick. If it had been a physical fight via linked control columns, the outcome would most likely have been the same. What can you do if the pilot and co-pilot just don't agree on the correct input, and neither is willing to yield to the other?

For context, all of this is happening at a relatively late stage. Recovery may still have been possible, but the problem developed when the PF was unambiguously in control and the PNF would not have been holding the stick.
Even if the class had 200 students the winner didn't need to flip 200 in a row. On average, half the students of the class would get Heads in each iteration, which means that this experiment would go on only for lg(200) iterations, which is only 7. Flipping 7 Heads in a row is not all that difficult to imagine.
Oh I don't think it's a hype thing, I just think I don't understand it :D

As I understood blockchains, they are basically linked lists of hashes, yes?

And the decentralization means, that every node hast this list, not just parts of it, so everyone can always check if the list is consistent.

Also, these lists are append only.

The part were every node has a copy AND the list is append only leads me to something that doesn't scale well. It will always get bigger with every action that is appended AND it will always be multiplied by every node in the network.

I'm probably missing something here, but that is my current state of blockchains, haha.
The heart of the problem is that popular communication networks are centralized and unencrypted.

But revenue is not profit. If units are up 10% and revenue is up 25% then there must have been an increase in average selling price.

That alone doesn’t tell us anything about whether profit went up or down.
As for me, I often find iPhone writing productive because it's hard to edit on an iPhone, whereas on a computer I'm encouraged to tweak, move sentences, reorganize, etc. The distinction between writing and editing phases is profoundly important, I think, and computers generally destroy it.

(I've started to write texts by chatting with myself as a way to suspend the inner premature editor.)
If that’s true, doesn’t that mean that dark patterns would not exist?
The reason it matters whether it's caused by humans is: mitigation. If global warming is significantly affected by our release of massive amounts of CO2, we could theoretically help mitigate the issue by stopping, and possibly reverse it. If on the other hand the rise of CO2 levels is not a significant factor, then there goes our primary idea to solving the issue.
For historical perspective, I remember in 1996 when polls said most people would never use their credit cards to buy things over the internet. Bezos surely remembers that too.
Disclaimer: I work at Diffbot

Major differences I can see (OP feel free to correct if I'm wrong):

Link.fish

* doesn't provide a web crawler

* relies heavily on microdata, schema.org, RDFa, etc

* relies on manual parsers for sites that don't have microdata embedded

* doesn't full-render pages by default (Diffbot renders every page, so it can use computer vision to automatically extract the data)

* doesn't support proxies

* doesn't support entity tagging

Probably plenty more, but that's what jumps out to me at first blush.

I hope that you submit your thoughts to a place more formal than this comment, I find the unemployment thing interesting. Particularly in Australia with $540 per fortnight unemployment and free healthcare, you could compare the difference between suicides and safety nets, and the overall suicide cost of poor safety nets.

It does seem like you agree in your last paragraph though though... gun control would lower suicide rates. People would try other methods which have higher failure rates, people's lives would be saved. Not all of them, but an appreciable amount.
Not necessarily. Adversarial examples have been shown to, for instance, be transferable across different networks with different hyperparameters (e.g., number of layers) trained on disjoint subsets of a training set [0, section 4.2]. There are more references from the paper linked by the OP.

We are not at the end because there are still lots of people in less developed areas to reach.
Their approach of attributing cost per transaction doesn't really make sense for bitcoin. I don't know the edge case of zero transactions within a block timeframe, but for 1+ transactions, a block will certainly be generated. And the generation of that block has very, very little energy cost associated with transaction validation. The vast majority of time spent is on hashing over and over until the outcome has the lucky leading zeroes (and thus winning the privilege of writing the block).

Whatever throughput solution is devised, unless the fundamental block-writing-lottery rules are changed, energy use will not change significantly.

Also, you can't just sum up all bitcoin mining energy costs and project how that energy could otherwise be spent. Energy transmission is complicated and wasteful over great distances. If some mining operations are in areas of low habitation, then they aren't necessarily taking from what could otherwise be given to more productive uses.

Finally, assuming _some_ mining is done with local renewable energy, then that energy is not necessarily being wasted any more than sun that falls on unused dirt is being wasted.

I have been on the bridge of a ship, as an Officer of the Watch in the Royal Navy.

Ships have both open loop and closed loop control systems. Closed loop is the normal mode of operation, but there are open loop systems to fall back to. The procedure tends to involve sending someone down to the rudder to communicate back the actual angle of the rudder.

The difference between a warship and a most other vehicles is that you can't simply stop a warship and get out. You need to be able to fight even if you've lost the feedback loop from the bridge to the rudder. For the comparison to the blackhawk, in a ship you can at least do something about mechanical failures in control systems.
I’m glad you didn’t downvote me! The faster we can get this thing going, the earlier we can get a tabula rasa ;)

Until then, keep riding the tiger!
Quick follow-up.

If the premise "the peer public key is sort of the peer's lladdr" is correct, here's an idea off my chest. (Beware that I am blissfully unaware of wireguard internals, just brainstorming.)

If the peer pubkey identifies the port on the other end, just like a MAC address would identify the NIC on the other end of a switched network;

Then would it be possible to give the kernel the peer pubkey as the lladdr when it asks for a next-hop's lladdr?

If so, all the IP routing stuff could be moved out of wireguard and taken care of by the kernel's IP router.

Without the internal IP routing function, L2 traffic could possibly be forwarded.

If the lladdr field is not large enough, maybe allow the user to give to wg a mapping between fx. a 6-byte locally assigned peer lladdr, and the 32-byte peer pubkey. Or ask Linus to extend the field. ;-)

Could be hidden behind an "l2-mode" flag or something.

In my opinion, being able to forward L2 would help a lot towards building a GUI in a sensible way, but yeah, just an idea.

I'll find an IRC client soon, promise.

Just to add to this, tren (and all other steroids) are essentially testosterone derivatives. "GH" is growth hormone, which is not a steroid.

Taking massive amounts of steroids can be a health risk for sure. But as the parent implied, trt-levels of test (200-300 mg/week) are well-tolerated.
If I had a separate mudroom I'd consider it, but having dogs makes it a no-go as it is set up. I'm surprised Amazon hasn't set up a "Amazon Locker" style box that you can get placed on your porch for deliveries. A relatively small one would take care of 90% of my packages.
He's right to question the environmental footprint, but "worldwide Bitcoin mining could power the daily needs of 821,940 average American homes" only in the world where high-power lines cost zero to build, span enormous distances across oceans and mountain ranges, and are fairly reliable to allow for zero maintenance costs.

In certain places of the world the electricity costs are approaching zero (or negative).
Election related TV ads have stringent requirements about disclosing financiers, relative to other kinds of ads.

Who are they polling? I think there's a fairly limited amount of people who would really want this, and lot of people who wouldn't.

You need to live in a city, but not in an apartment building, which is a pretty small (and wealthy) proportion of people. If you live in the suburbs or the country, you probably don't mind leaving packages on the porch. In the city if you don't have a doorman, a package is almost guaranteed to get stolen.

Homicidal maniacs who want to kill total strangers for no reason are pretty rare. Packages thieves are ubiquitous.
No, that's not what it's saying. Here's the quote:

> [Bitcoin total power consumption] averages out to a shocking 215 kilowatt-hours (KWh) of juice used by miners for each Bitcoin transaction (there are currently about 300,000 transactions per day). Since the average American household consumes 901 KWh per month,

I didn't go to primary sources to confirm those numbers, but if they are correct the title is accurate.

The bigger point here isn't the price per transaction, it's to point out the absolutely absurd liquidity mess that bitcoin has become. To first approximation, no one uses bitcoin to buy anything anywhere, ever. They just park coins as investments, hoping to cash out at some point in the future.

Except of course that won't work, because when it comes time to cash out, everyone will realize that there is no one out there to buy your coins. The crash, when it comes (and it will) will be catastrophic.

And also, yeah, it's wasting a ton of energy.
Thanks I wasnt aware of mint.

Really? I believe they meant exactly what they said. Read https://arxiv.org/abs/1605.07277

Adversarial examples can be easily crafted for linear regression, SVM, decision trees and k-NN at very least. I can't think about any ML technique that is proven to be secure against them.

There is also an old blogpost from Karpathy describing that the only reason we are not concerned about adversarial examples in linear models is that nobody uses them to classify ImageNet.

If this is Amazon's solution to missing packages, it's the wrong one.

I've never had an issue with Amazon delivery until they used their own drivers. I now frequently have my packages never arrive (I have cameras on my porch. Not being stolen) and four times in the last six months have received a delivery for someone else. It isn't like a package for my next door neighbor, either. They're packages to addresses up to three miles away.

If Amazon wants to reduce missing packages, they need to hire drivers who actually give a shit or go back to using USPS/FedEx/UPS.
Yes it seems like you found a bug;-) Is gonna get fixed tomorrow. Thanks!
A 6-week study of 200 people.

The lower bound given by the current hash rate and the most efficient miners available is only about a factor three lower. So it might be only two days instead of an entire week but that doesn't really change the overall numbers and message.

Yup! My cousin & cousin-in-law work to maintain human health at some nuclear power plants in Canada. They use the swiss-cheese model, and whenever they notice that one layer missed something, they do a re-evaulation of that safety layer.

That is a lifting regimen; it's just not your lifting regimen. While mine has generally been more like what you're talking about, there's nothing wrong with people doing that kind of interval training.

Curls and crunches often give normal people better aesthetics than they had before. Some people want a 4/5/6 bench/squat/dead, other people want to look slightly better at the beach without utterly killing themselves in the gym. I know a couple order of magnitude more people with good aesthetics who control their diet and do a relatively candy-ass workout vs those rare powerlifting dudes who never do any ab work yet have abs visible through their squat suits.
