I was at the talk where CDS Peach discussed the cutting of cables. The gist of it was that the UK navy would want to start patrolling/monitoring incoming UK cables as it was a vulnerability point that he felt was ... a likely target of those who might work against the UK interest.

It was a pretty interesting talk. The video can be found here:

melatonin is one of those "low hanging fruit" solutions people always give for insomnia. And 99% of the time, it never works. At least for me. If only it was that easy.
Bitcoin, being a form of wealth, can give you all the things you just described.

That it has no value during an apocalyptic scenario, does not mean it does not have value in the non-apocalyptic times.
git creators refuse to migrate because they selected sha1 in the start and because of backwards compatibility its harder to just change it. Also git is a situation where its harder to get a maintainer to push your binary blob. In a database, its more probable that a user includes malicious data. The hash used is not so easy to change, unless you are willing to make the change not backwards-compatible (break existing DBs)
No, you see that's not Bitcoin. That's how different numbers of people perceive or use Bitcoin at different times. Bitcoin is ever adjusting and changing, often making short-term sacrifices and failing to meet certain expectations that people have at the time. It would really fail if a fundamental technical flaw was discovered or if it hit a brick wall where realistic solutions to current problems stopped being actively worked on. So far that hasn't been the case.

So what matters is the technical side, things that are actively being developed, such as the Lightning network, and that at least some entrepreneurs understand this technical side sufficiently enough to build services that translate its fundamental value into things that people can more easily understand and appreciate. Much like the internet in early days.

Someone could go back 20 years and say "where are all these revolutionary things we keep reading about that would be possible? Wild speculations, Internet has failed."

Of course Bitcoin might fail, but I believe something like Bitcoin will succeed -and Bitcoin itself seems like the best candidate at the moment.
- Do you mean how to wake up best? If so, I can share some techniques I learned.

- That's a really good point. I forgot that I was screened for it. I'll add that to the post.
Where did you go for the situation to change so drastically?
Sounds cool, but I wonder if we really need both this and Open Neural Network Exchange (ONNX). And not to mention PMML.

Yeah, but you better define some stopping criteria or else you'll end up with a PhD if you're not careful.
My information comes from a family member who operates the antiquated equipment. As long as it is being maintained, it works exactly as designed. It is a very well engineered system.

What happened in the past few years is that the MTA allowed maintenance schedules to slip, hence the problems.

(Edit: to be clear, yes, there are limits to what the old system can do and modernization can improve a few things. Those shortcomings are not really what is causing the problems that we are experiencing lately. Modern equipment will also require maintenance and will fail when that maintenance is not performed.)
I use their board as an example when I teach. It is really useful for helping students understand what a board should do, does, can do, etc. and relating that back to a business.

I heard this problem discussed in a talk about electronic medical records 20 years ago. One of the many drivers was to remove the "burden" of the pharmacist. The speaker (who had an EMR company, and was pro EMR) said that actually the pharmacist was a crucial preventer of error as they would notice a strangely chosen medication (usually a pull-down-list mis-click back in the late 90s) and call the doctor for clarification.

Ironically this would often piss off the patient who was waiting for the prescription!
Imagine you're on a skateboard holding on to a bungee cord connected to the back of your buddy's truck - or some similar analogy. Imagine that truck starts going too fast, and you start lagging behind. Imagine your cord just snaps and your buddy just keeps going.

You're basically advocating that we step on the gas to make everyone go faster. Eventually, that link just snaps.
I think by definition insomnia implies a sleep problem that goes beyond trivial solutions like getting a little more sunlight. There are plenty of us who have trouble sleeping regardless of sunlight exposure, exercise and substance intake. And we can tell you it's overwhelmingly a mental issue. I also happened to have arrived a similar method as what the OP described, and it works.
While maintaining a list is impractical, there are some branding conventions for medication that could be exploited

How did you determine this method works? Does it yield consistent results?

Which parts of the therapy are responsible for the results, all of them? part of them? When are the results favorable? Can any patient be treated in this way?...

You can just say "it worked for me". That's more acceptable.

You could have improved as a consequence of other factors rather than this "method".
I'm reminded of an excellent book detailing the US's own interference with Russian cables 30 years back:

> So, for Illegal activity

Say I'm someone like Ed Snowden (again). I own a house, a car, the clothes on my back, and Bitcoin. I up and leave one day to share government secrets with the press and hide in a different country.

Did the car aid in the crime? Probably, to some degree - it let me physically make my way to the airport, and on to journalists to whom I shared secrets. Did the house aid the crime? Did the clothes on my back aid the crime? Both of those allowed me to live a safe and comfortable life. I wouldn't have made it past airport security without my clothes, after all.

Did the Bitcoin aid the crime? Only in the same sense that a treadmill and a good diet aids a bank robber by making it easier for him to leave the scene in a hurry.

So I think the claim that having bitcoin in your possession when committing a crime necessarily enables that crime (to a greater deal than any other everyday thing) is a bit nebulous. It didn't facilitate the crime, it just lessened the punishment. Possession of $USD cash provides a similar thing in the form of being used to pay bail.
Google isn't interested in what type of value an engineer brings outside of memorization of popular algos typically studied in CS programs.

It's a bit cult like in that sense, but when you have a monopoly with no government regulation you can spend as much as you would like building the company with the people you like (see Peter Theil's book Zero to One where he writes about this).

I live write by a Google complex and have a number of friends who work there as engineers and we have had chats about the hiring process. Any Google engineer will tell you that whiteboarding A* is not part of his day to day. But it's just culture in the end.
You cannot call it wealth to describe its value. You are just saying that the value of it is in itself. Which is what I am supporting as well.

In order for me to exchange it for goods, as you described, there must be someone who has the goods and is willing to exchange them for bitcoin. There is no real reason for someone to do so.

It is not an apocalyptic scenario. That’s what 90% if the population fight for, day in day out. Food, protection from the elements, security.

The problem from a game-theoretic point of view is that if your opponent believes you won't retaliate over something small, they can just keep nibbling small chunks. Better to have the public believe that you're super territorial and will react violently to the slightest provocation. I think Vlad and Donnie know this and incorporate it into their public images, which is part of the reason you describe them as "ultra-big egos".
I've had a couple beers and am having trouble holding all these paragraphs in my head.

But, at the risk of being repetitive, because maybe this simplifies things:

Generate a random 128 bit key by hashing something. This is what the Linux KRNG does with raw entropy.

Initialize AES-128 with that key and start running it in CTR mode. Encrypt a file with known contents, like /etc/ttys. That's ~1300 bytes of known plaintext.

Now, recover the AES-CTR keystream (just XOR /etc/ttys against the AES-CTR ciphertext).

Is it your contention that, having done that, you've placed yourself closer to guessing the underlying 128 bit AES key?

If not, you see also why drawing out 1300 bytes of Linux KRNG randomness doesn't help you predict future values. The randomness you read from /dev/urandom is fundamentally just PRF keystream.

If you could look at AES-CTR keystream and use it to make an advantaged guess at the underlying AES key, AES would be grievously broken.
Making others believe you're able and willing to interfere with cables is an effective and bloodless way of force projection. For a player like Russia, who's always been big on visible activities shrouded in a hint of plausible deniability, this fits.
What do you mean tested in areas that were wilting? They were not, of course, conducted directly on arable land. Generally the above-ground tests occurred in Nevada and the Pacific. According to Wikipedia "Ten other tests took place at various locations in the United States, including Alaska, Nevada other than the NNSS/NTS, Colorado, Mississippi, and New Mexico."

Autocorrection in general is bad. Underlining errors and proposing corrections is OK. As a keyboard user, I expect what I type to show as-is on the screen. I can always correct later.

Also, autocorrection does not provide proper feedback to learn from mistakes. Underlining errors does.

When I first came out of school and resented such condescension, I wondered if it was something that would seem more acceptable later in my career, instead it now only seems more clear.

Meritocracy is one of the things that makes our field special. Its not perfect, we have our biases, but wearing shorts or tennis shoes to work is not a statement of rebels. It’s a statement, in my view, about less respect for formalities and most respect for people who think, do, innovate, and advanced the state of something.

Those people, a lot of times they are the senior and experienced ones, but it’s really not much of a surprise when their not.
Take a look at the blog "lambda-the-ultimate.org", there is a thread on the sidebar called "getting started". There's links in there to several good resources (Types and Programming Languages; Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs; Concepts, Types, and Models; Essentials of Programming Languages; etc).

Also: Start off by not thinking about syntax at all -- in fact, take all syntax out of your language. Break it down to the key concepts you want, such as how data is manipulated, what makes the program flow, etc. To do this, make your first stab either in a prefix-style language (Lisp, Scheme), or postfix-style (Postscript, Fourth, Factor). By minimizing the syntax you can figure out what makes your language different. Then start adding syntax back in.

If you take the approach of picking syntax from various languages and putting them together, it is kind of like taking pieces of several songs that you like, and trying to make a really good song out of those. Doesn't work as well as writing a new song from the bones up.
The best story surrounding this was a mole who was identified via taps on Russian cables. They were unwilling to prosecute him for fear of tipping off the Russians so he got off and was used to funnel disinformation.
Linux was fundamentally well built for one. There's a lot of things that should be protected from even without UAC that aren't. With UAC disabled it is trivially easy for any number of system exploits that are easily preventable. I suspect many 'don't ask why' responses at this point come from the fact that we can probably no longer wrap our heads around all the possible ways you can be screwed with UAC disabled. (If anything, I am mostly still surprised Microsoft permits you to shut it off.)

In Linux you don't just type sudo, you also enter your password. In a best case scenario, you should have a different account for administrative actions as your normal use, but for both Linux and Windows the elevation requirement ensures that a program meant to run on your computer can not silently and suddenly make changes to your computer.

If your computer is not connected to the Internet, or you know the contents of every single block of code on every application your computer runs, this is not a problem, but for most people, this is the bedrock of basic security: That if something wants to make a system level change to your computer you must explicitly permit it to do so.
FWIW, I think you made some cogent points. I don't know why people get so upset at trenchant criticisms of beloved programming methodologies. From the outside, it often looks like Stockholm syndrome.

Now that your rant has ended, have you ever considered the possibility that there are other reasons you're an anathema and nobody takes you seriously, other than a well organized worldwide conspiracy against you? That would be the scientific thing to do.

First it was 5 minutes. Now it's 20 minutes. Why do you keep missing your own deadlines and changing the goalposts more often than you post any citations to scientific evidence or convincing mathematical proofs like you claim to have and everyone keeps asking you for? You keep throwing out numbers and mentioning "studies done" but never name your sources or link to any of them. Why not? You've been admittedly ranting for a lot longer than you said it would take to actually do the math, and you obviously have enough time on your hands, so get started.

You keep saying how quick and easy it would be for an adult to prove it, yet you never do that yourself. Am I correct to conclude that you're not actually an adult?

It is, but Pepakura which I mentioned above works out the folds and cuts. Any development of 3D models with facets or low count polygons with paper can be done granted with lots of time. It gets interesting when you work in something with some thickness and stiffness, and you want curvature and not facets. I was tweaking 'unfolding' or 'developing' panels from Rhino models for my kayaks as mentioned in a reply up in this thread. The kayaks were made of 4mm Okume plywood and needed to have curved surfaces. The payoff was watching the 3D surface take shape as you "stiched and glued the seams of the 2D panels.

You are throwing away the possibility that there is an intrinsic value in Bitcoin, more related to socio-economic-political concerns, than survival. There is not only one domain in life.

The hiring process is extremely stochastic. Especially at Google, where they err on the side of turning away qualified candidates rather than hiring unqualified candidates. If you apply and don't get a job, it is not necessarily because Google thinks you are terrible or whatever. Not everybody is good at interviewing. Sometimes the interviewer is having a bad day and it comes through on their feedback. None of this has anything to do with having written some software that lots of people use. In addition, LOTS of people have written some useful code. That's not really special.

All that said, I don't want anybody on my team who says "I am often a dick". That's not worth my trouble.
(I'm a Googler and opinions are my own)

Interviewing is hard and I don't think any company has it perfect. The nice thing about going into a Google interview is that you can know what to expect. They provide lots of study material and there are multiple books or sites out there that give sample problems that mirror common problems interviewers may ask at Google.

There are certainly negatives to whiteboard coding/algorithm interviews, but all other common methods I've seen also have their own problems. I do feel like the hiring team at Google has evaluated other methods (and continues to look into ways to improve the process), but they have stuck with the white board process. I'd say the hiring team does A/B testing like much of Google, but things have stayed somewhat similar over the years.
Nuclear weapons are the only things that stop countries from going to war. They're why we don't have world wars any more. I think that's a big plus for nukes!
