ASN.1's main issue is that BER/DER/CER are awful, and they are awful because they are TLV (tag, length, value) encoding rules. ASN.1 itself is a bit clunky, but has everything you'll ever need.

Too many people have reinvented ASN.1 badly. Protocol Buffers, I'm looking at you!
Great article! One nitpick however in the informal definition of a p-value: the p-value is the probability of getting results similar or more extreme to the results we observed if the dice are not biased.
I wonder if there are any good, simple procedures that could be applied during a game to mitigate against biased dice (without giving up on physical dice)?

For games that only use one die, perhaps something like generating a random number in 1 <= r <= 6n[1], using some procedure that all the players have input to so they can all agree to trust the number, and then shifting all die roll results by that number? So if the number were 3 and the die came up 2, it would count as 5.

That would not remove the bias from the die, but it would move it to a different number. For games where some numbers are consistently good for you and some are consistently bad for you that would be enough to make it so that biasing the die does not work in the long run--some games it would end up in your favor and some it would end up against you.

For games with two dice, that might not work as well. If a single random number were picked and used to shift both die results, it would shift the bias just like with the single die game.

However, the dice will still be biased to come up matching, and in some games matching numbers on the two is significant.

One might try to address this by generating two random numbers at the start of the game, one for each die, for the shifts. That would have bias against getting a match on the two dice, so would provide an advantage in games where a match is bad.

[1] Generalizing to n-sided dice is left as an exercise for the reader.
I do remember that. I did care. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to do anything about it.
Doesn't seem like a model because it doesn't predict anything.
I think people want to keep personal history in most cases. Like all normal conversations with friends or family, you would want to keep history of it so you can go look up things in the future.

Sending pictures that disappear and are not recorded is a valid use case but it's a very narrow one in my opinion. It might be useful for dating or "flirting" conversations so maybe 10% of human interaction.

Therefor I think the way Snapchat works it will never become mainstream like Facebook did because it doesn't work well for normal interaction between friends & family which is 90% of most peoples' social interaction.

Well, I think the phrase "glaring, unremitted and probably definitive failure" is not one of modest honesty, and if he would have wanted to be politically correct, he could have definitely phrased it differently. (Just trying to look at this objectively).
Why do you assume that none of those attack vectors should ever be accessible? It's reasonable to assume that the systems need to exchange data with external systems on a daily basis, possibly on a real-time basis.

They most likely need remote monitoring and reporting, they can need data that needs to be periodically inserted from an outside system, they might even need remote real-time control. Any such accessibility is a possible attack vector, and "security at all costs" isn't reasonable - even if the operation is literally priceless, you still need to balance the security risks of malicious attacks versus the increased risks of downtime or faults caused by more difficult/slower monitoring and control due to the security measures you implement; a strict airgap might prevent an attack but be a contributing factor in a non-malicious accident that's just as disastrous.

Homeschool Hands-On Science Curriculum
I've spent the majority of my career feeling this way, OP, hopping jobs and feeling like a crazy person. I've left plum gigs at coveted companies; I've passed on opportunities that would have made me rich (could I have stuck with it). I've read and studied a ton of things to try to deal with it.

At a high level, this article summarizes my angst. Maybe you'll benefit from it. It's about moving into management, but the ideas of deliverables and contributions might help you understand some things about you.

"I no longer operated in my personal sweet spot, where my sense of accomplishment after closing a difficult sale or launching a new product was contingent on my having had a concrete deliverable and the sense that my efforts were integral to its success. Being a manager caused me to feel disconnected from what career analyst Daniel Pink has identified as the three primary motivators of behavior: autonomy, mastery and purpose. I had little autonomy, little interest in gaining mastery as a manager (in spite of myriad coaches), and felt dissociated from my true self."

https://hbr.org/2012/12/what-if-you-dont-want-to-be-a

When I evaluate the jobs I've loved or hated using autonomy, mastery, and purpose, I can clearly see why I've loved or hated them. We'll all fall in different places on those three scales; what's right for me won't be right for you. But I need high levels of all three (and mastery is the really tricky one) or the job will slide towards the hated end of the continuum.

Some of the many great books that have shaped my thinking:
So Good They Can't Ignore You, Cal Newport
Deep Work, Cal Newport
Shop Class as Soulcraft, Matthew B. Crawford
(that last one, watch out. you might never go back to work. But the chapter called "The Contradictions of the Cubicle" speaks volumes to me).

There are many others, but I got the most benefit out of those three. Hope this is helpful in some way.

Presumably the person who supplies the dice knows how they're loaded. With a shift, they might still be able to use that information to their advantage. Instead, you could use the agreed-upon randomness at the beginning of the game to apply numeric labels to the faces of the dice. As long as the labels themselves aren't loaded... and the person who supplied the dice would still have information about the distribution.
The only commonality I can see is that both use the word "protocol"…
Yes, another way : take a colored picture, sample as many points as there are pixels on the surface of the 3D-object, then for each pixel of your picture pick without replacement its closest remaining color in your 3d object 'color palette'. The looping order still grants some artistic liberties.
Same. Coinbase are in over their heads. There is so much room for competition here.

At times I’ve been unable to access my accounts or have transactions complete in a reasonable amount of time. Coinbase closed my account without notice with no explanation other than a mention of their desire to comply with FinCEN. I never got an answer from them as-to what I did “wrong”. I sure as hell wasnt selling heroin or babies on Silk Road. Imagine if Wells Fargo closed an account without notice or explanation after a customer had a few normal deposits and withdrawals. deep rolls eyes

Call me crazy but if we have this then e-voting becomes easier to do because locality is more inbuilt to the system making fraud harder because you can more easily tie voting to geography/gps.
i.e. in an internet based system the votes can come from anywhere but in a system based in the physical world it might be possible to track the votes to a geographic location and if 10k votes come from a building site you can verify those votes are fraudulent as opposed to a massive block of flats.

I like this article, "Bitcoin is none of the things it was supposed to be":

https://theoutline.com/post/2592/bitcoin-is-none-of-the-thin...

Bitcoin can't operate as a currency without having exchanges between it and other currencies, and those exchanges strip all the benefits of bitcoin.

Exactly. You are confusing others by giving GS as an example, while we're talking about exchanges.
It's probably cheaper to pay the adaptation fees to make your own (which gives you repeat fees, DVD sales, overseas sales, no rights hassles, the ability to use actors you already have on contract / want to keep on contract etc.) than pay for the showing rights that give you a limited window.

The thing that makes Aedes aegypti such a good vector is its tendency to feed on multiple humans. They get spooked and fly off from a feeding site, then land again to try again, and the subsequent bites might not be on the same human. So one infected mosquito can vector a disease to an entire room of people if there is enough activity to make them attempt that many bites.

Many other mosquitoes will just stick it out and hope you don't notice them before they fill up. They either succeed in one bite or get squashed. Those mosquitoes have less opportunity to acquire a disease from an infected human, and less opportunity to transmit one to an uninfected human. And if there is no mechanism for that vector to pass to a mosquito's offspring, the one-bite behavior means there is no transmission between humans at all.

1) No counterparty risk. Everyone can get hacked, but coinbase being hacked shouldn't every, under any circumstances result in me loosing any bitcoin they hold on my behalf.

This point may prove to be very sticky.

It might be solvable with smart contracts... consider ethereum's https://www.etherdelta.com, which operates as an auditable smart contract. Your money literally can't be stolen without your private key; even when it's held in escrow by the contract. (Of course, a bug in the contract code could let someone get through; but that's all out in the open, so easier to check for).

I could see something like that being done, with the individual trade data being signed, but held off-chain until the user wanted to make a transfer (then ALL signed movements related to them could be consolidated on the chain).

---

Short of that, a centralized exchange is gonna run into the fundamental issue that cryptocurrencies have value because of a few properties; Chief among them being that they can be moved atomically, and with non-repudiation. Those two alone make theft a LOT easier to get away with once achieved.

Being able to walk back such thefts would require general consensus of the network. For most coins, the majority of participants would see that as a fatal weakening of the protocol's guarantees, and drop out. The highest profile rollback I can think of was ETH's june 2017 DAO incident. Even that proved rather controversial: though the market voted in favor in the end, it was a messy out-of-band solution, which may not work again.

---

Conversely, some lesser coins such as NAV actually formalized "consensus voting" on such out-of-band issues as part of their network protocol. I could potentially see that being used as a final band-aid, though "tyranny of the majority" issues would seriously need solving. NAV uses proof-of-stake, though, which certainly helps keep their voting in the "put your money where your mouth is" territory.

All in all, I think there are potentially some trustless and "semi-trustless consensus" methods that could solve this issue in revolutionary ways. But none of them are tested... Coinbase may just have to get themselves massively insured using traditional methods, at least for a few more years as the tech expands.

> (2) Silicon Valley is becoming less tolerant of divergent viewpoints.

As measured by what? Are there people being jailed for expressing a divergent opinion, or being refused service in restaurants/hotels/shops/etc, or unable to find employment?

For the latter point, employment, some people are likely to pick one of the few examples that routinely get reused in this discussion - such as Damore + Google, or Eich + Mozilla. But are these kind of things actually happening at an increasing rate? Because I recall similar things happening in the 2000s, and 90s, and I wasn't around before but they likely did too (and go back a few decades earlier, and it'd be saying something like "women can be engineers just like men" or "black people can be doctors just like white people" that'd get you ostracized, so yeah). So unless you have actual data showing that there has been an increase in people getting fired/being denied employment in the past 5-10 years for having divergent viewpoints, there's nothing there.

If your main measure for "less tolerant of divergent viewpoints" is "people being mean to you on Twitter", well yeah, that's part of living in an open society. In fact one could equally argue that people feeling more empowered to call out things they disagree with is the very hallmark of an open society.

Our Treasury Is Looted on a Daily Basis – Ayodele Fayose. – ANKAURSPEAKS
Coinbase has been one of the more poorly constructed sites I've used in the past couple years. I don't just mean the inability to handle volume.

I saw it riddled with HTML errors, there were buttons that didn't do anything, I got (html) responses that were false, which I only knew was the case because I looked directly at the API response.

I remember I 'sold' some litecoin on Coinbase that never sold. Took me to a couple days just to know it wasn't going to mysteriously disappear.

I find the fact that they want to add new coins even though they haven't solved any of their current issues very alarming.
