It is "possible" that my blowing my nose will disturb butterflies in China.

Internal to the organization that produces the software, they are highly meaningful. Extended to user base that reads the documentation, it remains equally meaningful.

Downstream that resists information and can not be controlled is on its own. Good luck.
>When the net finally reached the public in France there was no doubt whatsoever which one was the best tech.

That's almost 15 years of technological progress, of course the web/internet would replace it, the same way it replaced all other dial-up/BBS services.

>The Minitel was technically free to get but expensive to use since you had to pay heavily taxed services at the minute instead of data volume.

This, historically, was the telecom model. In the US (pre breakup) the telephone company would hand you a free phone for your home and it would be paid for by monthly fees. You never bought it nor ever owned it. This isn't a novel thing nor a real criticism imo.
Are you sure about your examples of things neural nets can't do? I think GANs might be able to "imagine" striped cats, provided they have been trained on enough images to capture the space of black/white/striped objects. And a lynx being classified as a cat doesn't seem so outlandish. It has to be classified as something and cats are likely the closest in appearance.

Of course these are just based on my intuition of what neural nets are capable of, so if you have examples of cases where these specific tasks were attempted unsuccessfully, I'm interested.
The point is that even at that price point it's still wood frame and sheetrock. It's just fancier finishings, but nothing like the anhydrite floor with soundproofing layer that decouples the floor from the rest of the building that someone further up had mentioned.
Noam Chomsky would argue it's because (nearly) all of us are born with some constrains in our brain designed for dealing with our world.

I think from relatively new currencies NEO [1] looks one of the most interesting, fixed many problems of Bitcoin and Ethereum

First you state: "Securing computer is lost cause." Then you give the constraints within which computing becomes "very easy to secure". As I previously stated: use a computer that fits within your definition of "very easy to secure" to setup the YubiHSM; after that, encryption using the HSM is theoretically secure to the degree the CPU accessing the plaintext is secure (this does not have to be the CPU the YubiHSM is plugged into).

The YubiHSM draws the line for "MITM-proof" (per your original comment) after initial key setup, in exchange for an order of magnitude reduction in price. The main difference between this and regular Yubikeys is the performance, things like supporting 16 concurrent connections. Yubico doesn't seem to use "MITM-proof" on their product page; is this basically a straw man? I guess it makes for an interesting discussion about the various theoreticals.

I am very much more interested in details on the tools you (as someone concered enough to ensure no one is misled) use to implement secure computing, most specifically how they have worked out for you in practice. Relatively inexpensive tools like Trezor and others with screens and buttons built-in may meet your criteria and suffice for personal use, but server-level performance isn't going to be there without a couple extra zeroes on the price.
I'm interested in Hotjar but I live in the US. Do I have to be from Europe to take the remote jobs? I can be flexible with my hours and work during European work hours.
Today you get only 1 bitcoin. No bitcoin cash or gold or whatever forks that may exist.

Think of this way, there is a ledger - bitcoin which shows I own 1 bitcoin on 1st August 2017. Someone copied the ledger. Now there are two ledgers both with name bitcoin. It is confusing - so one is called bitcoin cash.

Going forward, the transactions for bitcoin is recorded in the bitcoin ledger while for bitcoin cash in that ledger.
I can spend both bitcoin and cash as my ownership is reflected in both the ledgers.

But if you buy from me today, your ownership reflection will start now. So only on one of the ledgers.

In November someone will create a new copy - the Segwit 2x. So if you own the bitcoin till then you get 1 bitcoin Segwit 2x too, while retaining the ownership from original bitcoin ledger.
I've had two on my keychain for years now. One of them maybe 8 years and the other one a little over 3 years. Zero problems with them so far. They still work just fine.
Windows contains code like "If SimCity is running, allow it to use memory after it's been freed"[1]

So yes, if you had a significantly deployed app that segfaults because the version number >= 4.14, Linux probably would seriously consider workarounds for your app.

A password field does more than just mask input. At least on macOS, it's also a secure input field where the OS ensures no other applications can see what is entered. Simply masking the font will imply to the user that their input is secure, when in fact it is not.
Yeah but they charge on atm withdrawals and the exchange rate could be the banks rate depending on the card.
I would say wireless charging and waterproof design are legitimate reasons to upgrade.
Yes, this work is clearly based on the cosmic ray muon detector approach that Nobel prize winner Luis Alvarez developed in the 1970’s, and looks to be a significant effort that would need considerable international support to accomplish, so somebody obviously thinks there is reason to believe Luie’s team missed something.

In addition to the results, I’m very interested to understand what led them to think there might have been something missed in the analysis of the great pyramid of Khufu/Cheops.
Capsules are Hinton's idea. His speech "What is Wrong With Convolutional Neural Nets?" was 2014 and he was already working with capsules. http://techtv.mit.edu/collections/bcs/videos/30698-what-s-wr...

The credit from the paper should go to all researchers of course, but Hinton is main driving force behind the research.

>but has now become just a store of value entirely driven by speculation.

and that's why its going to survive. Its a bit like the fine art market. Why are the wealthy buying $20m dollar paintings? Because in 5 years it goes to auction for $25m.

Now whether "survive" means anything more than being the preferred currency of illegal dealings and ransomware is the big question. I suspect bitcoin has found its market niche and will stay here as-is. Fiat currency will be as strong as ever and the social and political aspects of cryptocurrency have pretty much failed outside of these tiny use cases.

I see it a bit like the Commodore 64 from the 80s. It wasn't the best home computer, but it was cheap and passable and lasted far longer than anyone should have rightfully assumed. "Good" tech doesn't always win, say the way the Amiga never took off like the C64 did. Sometimes we get stuck with "bad" tech for a while.

People who believe that ethereum is technically superior have not studied cryptocurrencies in depth. Ethereum made a lot of reckless design decisions, trading long term stability and security for advantages that only exist over bitcoin in the short term. Their short block time is a sloppy choice. Their focus on gpu mining is a boneheaded mistake. Their scripting system is embarrassing. Proof of stake is nonviable. Multiple clients invites large scale network forks like the spurious dragon update disaster. Their code is garbage and won't scale.

The purpose of talking about the price, is that it is being used as a proxy mechanism to determine if Bitcoin is "crossing the chasm" from the technology oriented early adopters, to the much wider, non tech, early majority.

Then the bandwagon effect will (presumably) kick in and Bitcoin will become truly entrenched.

Old Java threads were 1:N, not M:N, and were instead of rather than in addition to support for 1:1 native threads. Having the choice between 1:1 and M:N both available on the platform is better than being locked into 1:1 or 1:N (or even M:N.)

What is offered here is strictly better than the current or previous state.
No, in fact, it is pretty obvious, at least to people doing kernel dev.

The contract in this case is that there will always be a version number, and anyone who expects it not to change is an idiot or just being obtuse.
Rust also has yet to develop a stable ABI, I know they’re hard at work on so many things so I don’t say this as some snide remark - but until this is the case and Rust supports proper dynamic linking there’s whole domains of tasks I’m not comfortable using it for.
If you read through their docs [0] you'd see they're committed to maintaining backwards compatibility with all SQLite 3 releases. There haven't been breaking changes since 2004.

In addition, the library is incredibly easy to embed with any project as it's largely a self-contained system [1]. If SQLite 4 were released with breaking changes, you could happily continue using SQLite 3.

It does a lot more than just syntactic sugar. It expands the type system with nullable types, smart casts and covariant/contravariant generics, and it has actual closures. I agree that most of the features kotlin provides are syntactic sugar over Java, but kotlin is as much a separate language to Java as Scala is.
That could be entirely true (and I believe there are several alts that are technically superior to BTC), however if a friend asks me for Bitcoin, I am not going to tell him to install a BCH wallet, send him BCH, and tell him not to worry about it because it's Bitcoin in spirit and it's going to be great.

I know its what NVidia calls SIMT, but its what AMD calls SIMD. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

NVidia is somewhat correct to call their "SIMT" concept something new, because Intel's original SIMD implementations (MMX and SSE) couldn't do the thread-divergence thing very easily (AVX 512 adds a few more features to make thread-divergence easier to handle at the CPU level). But as far as I can tell, AMD GPUs can do thread-divergence, "constant broadcasts", and all that jazz too, but AMD still calls it SIMD.
US Cable companies in the past have injected alerts into unsecured sites users browsed, to tell them they're running out of data. If they could do that, they could inject ads too.

US Mobile companies inject identification headers in unsecured HTTP calls, for advertiser tracking; and in other cases allow servers to ping the user's IP back to the ISP to get full details of the user (including addresses).

The regulatory agents responsible for regulating the cable and mobile companies in the US are right now hellbent on removing net neutrality and are fighting against the consumer. Fat chance of those "basic regulation"s existing or surviving.
Based on second hand information from people working with tier-1 Tesla suppliers, it seems that Tesla demanded they set up the Model 3 production in about half the time as other manufacturers. The suppliers knew that the promised dates and production volumes were a total joke but went along anyway just to get the business. The Tesla reality distortion field only goes so far; it doesn't help accelerate the creation of big, complex physical objects like dies and molds.
Apparently it's a thing:

I'd say the first and second authors still warrant a mention, at least.
Human minds and physical artifacts are still the least fragile and volatile storage medium known. Software requires infrastructure, hardware, regular maintenance and domain knowledge, a brittle chain.

Consider that we still have cuneiform tablets from ancient Babylon, and we can decipher them due to physical and cultural artifacts persisting over generations. But... we have already lost the masters of the Apollo moon landings, and much of the knowledge of how the software written back then will die out when the engineers who worked on them do, because software knowledge isn't passed on generationally the way culture and language are.

It's likely that archaeologists from the year 4017 will be picking through our garbage, rather than our software, and that their ability to accomplish the latter will depend entirely on whether they find a "Rosetta Stone" in the former that lets them reconstruct everything from first principles.

The problem is that often things are not so clear-cut... what seems like a fuckup at first glance or from one perspective might be something different (perhaps one thing is messed up but it was to fix another thing, or perhaps you are mistaken and things are just different but not "fucked up", etc). As soon as you start shouting at someone, they will tend to get defensive and dig in their heels, thus making it more difficult to get to the bottom of what actually happened and why.
For most of us in software, our jobs are not saving lives or anything -- it's not worth creating a toxic culture just so you can feel good about yourself by shouting at someone.
