I worked as an RF engineer for a few years and one of the senior engineers once told me a story about how they launched Voyager (I think it was Voyager) with a Viterbi encoder, even though we didn't have the ability to make a decoder at that time due to lacking the computing power. So they launched it knowing they would eventually have the technology, and of course they were right. No idea if that's true or not but I love the story.
It would not nearly have to be as heavy as it would have to be on Earth (no gravity to withstand so skeletal build will do just fine) and a 20KW transmitter could be powered on a satellite with relative ease. There have been quite a few proposals for antennae that unfold in space.

As for your edit: very heavy satellites cost (including launch) ~$250M whereas a manned Mars mission is estimated to cost $6B.

I really don't see how you could do 'several manned missions to Mars or another planet of your choosing' for the same budget as a single relay satellite, even a large one.

The problems I see with such a design are simply that it does not give you any advantage for spending all that money and actually stands a fair chance of making things worse. More stuff, so more stuff that can go wrong and if it does it is in a place where you can't fix it. Limited life-span as well compared to the Voyager itself because of the larger complexity (must keep two antenna's aimed at the same time while moving itself).

I don't think there are any guarantees, but the reasoning is that widespread adoption implies that the violent capital inflows have subdued and a more stable equilibrium is reached. Of course, panics can still happen for various reasons (security breaches, outlawing it etc).
> Let's not forget the US Govt blocked an attempted Sprint + T-Mobile merger to produce a viable third competitor in the space, ironically, in the name of competition.

Not sure what you mean here. T-Mobile's efforts in the last few years (the "uncarrier" marketing push, among other things), has cemented their position as the "third competitor" already (in part due to the failed AT&T buyout), and AT&T and Verizon have been forced to offer better plans to compete with T-Mo's offerings. I don't see how a Sprint merger is necessary or useful to the competitive landscape at this time.

The head of the BND stated that the BND did not record any information about Germans, and the NSA did not record any information about Americans, but that the BND shared whatever it collected about Americans with the NSA, and in reverse.

Well, traditional currencies were stable because of the gold standard, but nowadays the stability of bitcoin comes from the miners and the difficulty setting, while the stability of national currencies is controlled by institutions like the FED.

Nevertheless, at the moment there is an increased global demand for bitcoins due to the many people and organizations who are joining the system. The only problem is that due to high demand the bitcoin value to normal currencies quote increases so rapidly that it attracts even more people, which could lead to many people loosing their interest in bitcoin as soon as the growth rates cool down.

So let's hope the cool down will happen gradually. That way we should not be afraid of the bubble.

A) brute force takes 65K max attempts

B) unless you know the password MUST be a number and MUST be between 1 and 65K (which is a terrible password requirement, e.g. a password of max length 65000 using only digits 0-9 is as good as no password), you need to brute force the entire known character space up to some finite number. The sun will die first.
Whilst they don't in your example, choosing a password between 1 and 65K is a very bad decision to begin with (assuming the attack knows this ... if they don't the password search space is far larger than the port search space)

In general A does not improve your security 65K times since a single attempt will tell if there is telnet on the port or not, whereas with B all you know if you got the wrong password.

Now if you ran a dummy telnet that always can slow 'wrong password' responses on the other (65K-1) ports that would potentially increase the security 65K times, but still isn't really a meaningful thing to do.

You're overthinking this. This is a medical profession in its early stages, but it does do actual research on its methods (see e.g. TFA) and it does produce practitioners who produce better average results than zero intervention.
Im all for regulation in any industry when companies do bad things and people don't have recourse.

If Google started manipulating search in a way that really hurt and people did not have recourse, great regulate the f* out of them. Same goes for smart phones.

Its not inconsistent because my guiding principle is not "enough competition/too much concentration in this industry or not?", it is "are their behaviors significantly hurting consumers or not".

People are selfish; if they make a big investment and you're about to reduce its value, they will fight tooth and nail. Any conversation about 'right', 'wrong', 'moral', it all goes out the window.

It really sucks that so much of peoples' value is often tied up in a single property. It would be a gobsmackingly terrible investment decision, if you didn't need shelter to live reasonably well.

So let's be clear. These people are being incredibly selfish, and that is reprehensible. But they also don't really have a good alternative that wouldn't lose them a lot of money in a time where, if they're not in the class that owns multiple houses, they're already struggling. And that is sort of ameliorating imo.

Whenever discussion of this form comes up, I wonder how they can even block "applications" when their traffic is encrypted (never used FaceTime, but I'd hope that one is). They can block destinations, but I suspect this whole net neutrality thing is just going to spur more development in VPNs/tunneling/proxies/steganography/P2P.

A lot of ISPs block low ports like 80, 25, and 21, which is arguably in violation of net neutrality, but everyone didn't seem to care... they just used a different port.

Speaking as someone that grew up in San Francisco, I wouldn't call it particularly tolerant anymore. At one time when the current political climate wasn't the default, maybe yeah.

So what I would say is the default cultural assumptions have changed from what they used to be and are now diametrically opposed to much of the country in such a way that if you are on the outside looking in, it appears "tolerant" because it is a better place for some groups of people that would be ostracized elsewhere. Meanwhile if you are from the inside looking out, you probably don't see that what you call tolerance and liberalism is in fact just a different kind of intolerance and conservatism because it is not human nature that is different in the Bay, just the goal posts.

Or to put it another way, what seems liberal and/or progressive to others is simply "normal", the "default", sometimes even "traditional" or "conservative" here. Especially in San Francisco, Alameda County and some of the more populous counties (quarter of the pop in LA County alone yo!), if not quite all of the State. The scale is just different. Spend 25 years living here and visiting certain parts of the country really will make you feel like you're in a foreign country because you (hypothetically) and I (actually) grew up in a bubble.

Man collapsed with ‘Do Not Resuscitate’ tattooed: Doctors didn’t know what to do
I am very sad to see Vidme go. I loved the honesty of this blog post, it really shows that they are aware of the independent video scene and why it is almost impossible to compete with the giants (YouTube, and now to my knowledge, instagram).

I always wanted them to succeed, but there was always something telling me that success would be unlikely. YouTube is Google's big loss leader; they seem to exist to keep Google's large internet presence and to keep people connected to the Google ecosystem. If Google can't make YouTube profitable, it seems highly unlikely that a startup would be able to.

It's interesting how Vimeo is still in the game during all of this. They exist because they have a foothold onto the creative/indie/premium video scene. I'm sure vidme was looking for a similar foothold; an niche audience that YouTube/instagram/vimeo had not captured.

I hope the best for their new project. Also kudos to them for advertising those they are not taking onto the new project.
This is a great idea. My wife is an interior designer and was really impressed by this.
This is disheartening to hear. One can only imagine the number of sufferers who have become estranged from loved ones because of similar circumstances. It's not difficult to understand why the loved ones had to cut them out, either. And, of course, since the sufferer ends up estranged from family and loved ones, their situation can more readily snowball into further isolation, self-destruction and increased probability of suicide.
It should be noted that Maxwell's quaternion formulation of the same relations has just two equations.

Vector notation won out over quaternions not from elegance or power, but from practical details of working them on paper. Now that we don't, anymore, quaternions are probably the better notation. Somebody should rewrite an E-M and an optics textbook.
>Not sure what you mean here.

What I mean is T-Mobile + Sprint is still third by customer count. And not really a close third.

If competition is a problem, then ideally, the government would either allow a real third competitor, or in absence of that, break up the bigger two. They blocked the former and did not pursue the latter.

>I don't see how a Sprint merger is necessary or useful to the competitive landscape at this time.

Canada province urges shopkeepers to stop saying 'Bonjour-Hi'
Right now there are still trillions of dollars that could go into Bitcoin (potentially), and the more of that money gets converted into Bitcoin, the more its price increases (because the number of Bitcoins is relatively stable from month to month or even year to year, so it's logical that 1BTC will cost more when $1 trillion are put into Bitcoin than when $100 billion are put into Bitcoin).

As Bitcoin gets closer to its "maximum potential" (which could very well be the total world transactions being done in Bitcoin, or say 50% of them, if Bitcoin's share of total cryptocurrency market cap remains the same as it is now), the price should stabilize, as there wouldn't be extra money that could be put into Bitcoin, or at least not much more than there already is.

Also, there's a big difference between adding $100 billion into Bitcoin when the total Bitcoin market cap is $100 billion before that, and adding $100 billion when Bitcoin's market cap is $10 trillion. That's why when Bitcoin's market cap will represent a much larger share of the world transactions, its price should become increasingly more stable.
So I used to work in the spectrum sharing space. When the FCC started spectrum auctions, the technology wasn’t there yet. Even today, see the challenges involved in sharing space between LTE and WiFi.

As for fiber—blame your municipality. I’m in a metro area of 200,000 and have two fiber providers.
Nope. As long as the money i spend on the card is less than the money i place on it i only have unrealised capital gains. If and when i want to spend more than that, i will have to pay capital gains on that component. It's no different than a high interest savings account.

Of course it could have. Making software is hard, and mistakes get made. The idea that the magical presence of Steve would prevent this is absurd.

There were plenty of terrible MacOS bugs under Steve's reign too. I can't help but feel there is perhaps a new generation of Mac users who don't remember or didn't experience how painful OS X was at times, even many years after the OS 9 to X transition had started.

I'm sure they would! But there's a pretty strong argument it's a step in the right direction. Actually, this link makes a more modest proposal that papers should report likelihoods rather than p-values. This avoids reported results results depending on priors (which perhaps we don't trust authors to choose well), though a reader can easily impose themselves if they want to.
