Unfortunately, power complexes. When more power is needed than json has (e.g. a schema language), there is xml and the xml ecosystem (e.g. xs), with all the tools, features and standards you could possibly want... actually, more. Thus, it is the complexity of xml that keeps json simple.

It is the same principle as keeping flies off the dinner table by dumping a pile of manure outside the front door.

I'm not american, though I spend some time in US, mostly in Maine. Every-time I hear this kind of stories, I can't help but thinking: you go through all that trouble to immigrate to US to build yourself a lot of opportunities for your life and all you end up doing is shit like these? while millions of people are waiting in line wishing for a better life? Same for anybody living an Europe who rushed to go live in the Caliphate... while people are fleeing these very places because of the insane violence... I can't understand this.

Drupal 8 access check system uses 3VL as well: Allowed, Forbidden, Neutral. What I found interesting is the only difference between AND / OR is the Allowed - Neutral case: OR resolves that as Allowed while AND resolves that as Neutral. Otherwise, X AND/OR X is obviously X and F AND/OR X is F. Sounds quite logical but the truth table does look weird with so little difference.

In other words, at the end of the day, when making a decision to deny or grant access using a bunch of these 3VL checkers, you use two rules: 1. If anyone forbid, then it's a deny. 2. If no one forbid, if running OR then you need at least one Allowed when running AND then you need to have all of them saying Allowed.
The other clue players can use to detect cheating is your behaviour. They can notice that you are favouring the higher numbers. This is also what can catch people in gambling games. The betting patterns of card counters are noticeable - and the eudaemonic folks who found how to predict tilted roulette tables bet on sectors of the wheel - which again is a distinctive pattern.

So it's pretty much always those behavioural cues that other people will use to suspect cheating rather than the p-value.

>The question is not whether you have to carry an ID on you at all times, but whether you have to show your ID to vote.

No, but it is nontheless relevant: in the Netherlands one is compelled to carry ID. Absolutely no such requirement exists in the US. So it's a different situation where an ID is required to vote in a country where carrying ID is already compelled compared to requiring an ID to vote in a country where no such ID-carrying requirements exist and many find the notion of compelled ID-carrying odious.

Well. My grandfather lost an eye in WWII so was a fitter for Czech pilots. They'd been kicked out of their country by a genocidal megalomaniac. When the war finished and they returned, a new megalomanic wouldn't let them leave again. Occasionally by using tanks.

My father grew up in Egypt where the only source of income was sand crabs and running errands for Italian PoWs. He got kicked out too eventually as he wasn't of the appropriate religion. The only country that would take him was the other side of the world.

Me? I've had it easy. The Cold War and the odd IRA bomb aside, I thought my life has been a bed of roses compared to my forefathers.

Also I wonder what kind of meat products you are eating?! If I buy and prepare a steak or some other raw meat it's pretty clearly meat.

In the late '90s I was asked to do image segmentation of multispectral data of brightfield microscope data. That is, given a picture of a bunch of cells, find all of the cells. There were two problems: image segmentation of sick cells is really hard (they're very blobby & fragmented), and the computer I had available took more than 20 minutes per image.

It was literally both cheaper and faster to have a grad student count the cells.

Let's be clear though: the researchers weren't interested in the cells; they were interested in having a pretty-darn-good count of cancerous cells vs. non-cancerous cells. Turns out, cancerous cells were a different color (brighter blue * brighter green) than healthy cells. So, instead, I just converted every image into RGB 3D space, counted all the pixels near 'dark green * dark blue', all the pixels near 'bright green * bright blue' then divided by the average area (in pixels) of each type of cell. The resulting counts were within 1% of the value the grad students could get, and the ratio was even more accurate.

We could get the cell count in a single linear, forward pass, as fast as the camera could take pictures.
I had one of the coolest experiences with AOL Instant Messenger. I think it was 1998 ... my dad and I could communicate over this new and virtual wave of the future.

Even though he was all the way across town, I felt very close to my dad that day.

I think you need to seriously consider whether "tries to be journalism" means "is more in line with my opinions."

Good question!

My answers (in point form) are:

1) We plan on integrating TOTP into the Authian server so that TOTP can be used as an alternate option where no other IMs are supported by the end-user

2) Using OTP over encrypted IM has less friction. Many other options require people to install "yet another app". TOTP is also not that well understood by the average person, whereas most people are already familiar with SMS-based authentication (which also has low friction, but is comparatively expensive)

3) TOTP can't do notifications of successful login attempts to the TOTP app. Whereas OTP over IM offers this, as well as baking in other security enhancements as required by vendors (eg. account recovery options)

With that said though, I would consider TOTP and OTP over IM to be complementary products.
This reminds me of a machine vision application for large-scale bakeries. When you bake bread, the color of the surface changes as the bread rises and completes the baking process.

In the application I remember, the average color of a loaf was tracked on an RBG plot as a function of time. The idea was that the baking process followed a trajectory in the RGB space that was dependent on the temperature of the oven and the elapsed time. This can be used as feedback for process control-- to signal when to pull out the bread or to change the temperature.

In a similar way the color of paintings change as they age. The individual points in the OP's plots could be parameterized in time and according to paint's chemistry. It might be possible, after some calibration studies, to accurately simulate aging. Or better, simulate the reversal of aging to show what an old aged painting looked like when it was new.

In my memory congress has been controlled by Republicans for most of recent history. When there was Democrat control, the president was a Republican. So there hasn't been a period of time when you can "blame" Democrats for the lack of legislation passed for the benefit of the population rather than big money. This is why for example the ACA had to be rushed, in the time between Obama being elected and Republicans gaining control in Congress.

We shouldn't underestimate what we don't know about building machines. Maintenance should accommodate time to check for wear on parts we don't expect to, to check things that are different from what we expect them to be. The problem was there for decades and one inspection in one unit over that period would probably have evidenced the issue and added one more item for the maintenance checklists.

It's not like the manufacturer can't schedule a full disassembly of a unit 10 years into its lifetime. Car magazines do it.

To a typical insurance salesman, the fact that self-play has been around for a while raises the question of why not until now, for chess? Maybe self-play in chess had already come within a whisker of this result? Has the state of the art reached the point where a bespoke self-play solution for any given chess/go -like game is now unremarkable? Is chess regarded as a sideshow that is given more attention than it deserves from the press and public? Even if this outcome is completely unremarkable from a technical point of view, the question remains, but as a social one.

The author can certainly scrutinize whatever claims he likes, but does he make his case? I suppose he can certainly say that without further information, the outcome simply cannot be independently evaluated.

I don't really know what to make of your interpretation of Altman's statement. He was making the point that if a physicist has homophobic views, we should not dismiss their contributions to physics for that reason alone. Put another way, we should be tolerant of people, but not necessarily of their views.

> Sure. But does it really matter? Are we that sensitive?

Sensitivity isn't the issue: it's that calling someone names for reasons that are entirely speculative (and longer lifespan == ecological catastrophe is definitely that) is the domain of at least two other groups: grade-school children and the alt-right.
