>which is that segregation is the bigger problem than funding

Segregation isn't addressing the root problem, it's just hoping that spreading out the problem (households that don't value education) will mask issues.

If one school was 100% Asian-American and a neighboring school was 100% white, the two schools wouldn't underperform because of segregation.

EDIT: Instead of downvoting, can someone refute my point about the Asian-American and white schools? Segregation itself isn't the issue.

> timing differences due to physical limitations of the hardware

I see; so you're talking about step two as described here, do I have that right?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spectre_(security_vulnerabilit...

This seems like a failure of algorithm design to me, in the sense of not starting with a better model that more accurately encodes the possibility of timing attacks. That being the case it appears to me to be a problem still firmly residing in the domain of computer science.

But, I'm a programmer, not a chip designer, and I have very little knowledge of this field, so I'm probably biased and not thinking about this correctly or with enough nuance.
When a bank makes a loan it will deduct it from it’s own account. And it will not loan more than it has in deposits, however it’s true that it only has to keep it its balance sheet (i.e. not loan) a fraction of the deposits.

>If npm packages used a Github-style "author/package" format, name collision would never be an issue again.

They have that, and many are finally starting to take advantage of it (with babel being the most prominent with their latest version)

But this doesn't completely "fix" the problem, since the exact same conflicts can still happen with the "author" name (if someone takes "google\" there are going to be some very upset californians)

Bitcoin 10 minute block generation times is an inherent problem that unless changed, will doom the protocol to its eventual death.

It's like trying to make a 56k modem work, when broadband is available.

When litecoin came around a few years ago these were abstract problems, but now that transactions with $10 fees take 36 hours to confirm... the issues are real and a switch needs to happen. Lightning network or not, these hacks to speed up the network unequivocally make more sense to do on a network with faster block generation times. Necessity will force this outcome.

Even without genetic predisposition this is the Catholic stance-- that being gay isn't a sin, but having gay sex is.

Of course, this is sophistry; ask about whether two celibate gay men would be allowed a Catholic wedding and the answer will be no because they can't have children, nature of marriage, yadda yadda. Ask whether a man or woman without intact junk can get married and suddenly it's love that is really important.
Not true, some projects like Groestlecoin already have it implemented on their mainnets. Bitcoin development is akin to airframe development. Slow is smooth, smooth is fast.

People are too impatient.
> Other comments have rightly commented it could be inverse (selecting for homosexuality)

I brought it up elsewhere, but this is an idea suggested in the book "The Forever War" as a way to control the population expansion.

I don't have a problem with (the concept) people selecting OUT homosexual children because I believe that there are people who will remain who will select them IN.

On a deeper level, I suspect that homosexuality is more complex than a few genetic markers - that there are epigenetic pressures there as well, and that there is a social/biological reason for their existence.

Homosexuality isn't a recent development, it isn't some "modern" issue. The Native Americans had a very different take on homosexuals than we do currently. Our outlook has shifted several times in the last few hundred years as well (the interwar period in Europe as an example). There are even some stunning modern examples that are rather counter intuitive to those who are ill informed (Iran and its views on trans genders).
I see little evidence of voters changing their mind, only of non-voters leaning (in recent months) towards Remain.

As a Remain voter I am obviously biased to see mainly the flaws in Leavers, so please synthesise opposite equivalents for the following: If Leave voters agregate around the identity that “Brexit is expensive but worth it”, I think this decreases the risk of them starting the sort of riots that would lead to a civil war; if they instead are surprised by massive economic damage (or by 10% of the doctors leaving at once), that increases the risk they will decide to blame Remainers for “talking the country down” or whatever.

I have seen comments from YouGov users suggesting that people like me should be executed. I do not yet take such comments as a serious threat (they have also suggested nukes, apparently oblivious to France having any of their own), but such comments are part of why I estimate 10% chance of civil war in this timeframe — the other major component of my belief being an assumption that the basic rate of civil wars is 1/(years since last one) per year.
NextRadio requires support from your carrier. A phone with an enabled chip is not enough. I have a Sony Z3 and a Sony Z3C and the FM radio has always worked. NextRadio has never supported them. (I got them right after T-Mobile stopped their brief support of the Z3.) The same thing happened with my AT&T NEC Terrain -- the FM radio chip was always enabled; but, NextRadio would not work (and was not supported).
No, just passionate about this issue. Sorry if that came off as spamming -- wasn't my intent beyond spreading its message.

> You don't need a new textbook to study anything about physics math or history below the college level

In general this is true, but there are some major exceptions. Math is now taught vastly differently than when I learned it. The interesting thing is I did not learn it how it was taught, but internalized it differently and ended up competing in Math Olympiads / number sense and all that fun stuff very successfully. The very cool thing is that math textbooks now teach it in a way closely resembling to how I internalized it.

For instance adding by powers of ten and the nearest ten. What is 29 + 77? You can just change that to 30 + 77 (remembering you now 'owe' one) which can then be changed to 30 + 70 + 7. So we end up with 107 - 1 which is 106. Lots of words, but it's a process that lets you solve most any problem more or less instantly, in your head. It also helps for understanding.

Similarly for multiplication. What's 17 x 19? We can borrow 17 and change that to 17 x 20 which can be recognized as 17 x 2 x 10 which is clearly 340. Since we borrowed 17 we subtract it again using a basic strategy of 340 - 10 - 7 = 323. These sort of thought processes I think also help make math more fun since it's more of a puzzle that a grind. And the logical but abstract thinking involved in figuring out the quickest way to solve the problems also mirrors more the much more advanced mathematics that they will get into in college.
Code Splitting with React and React Router
That's a rather nasty interview question, though. If you've never heard of the problem before, writing the greedy algorithm isn't too bad. But it is actually more challenging if you are familiar with graph colouring, as knowing that it's NP-complete might be enough to stop one from even considering this to be an edge case...

If you really want your interviewees to hate you, ask them to solve it using D colours!
This has been a can kicked for many a mile. First bush, then obama, and now trump. The undocumented and largely ignored effect of FISA is that it is quietly driving cryptography to unprecedented levels of adoption. OpenPGP is part of Yubikey now, granting the average user HSM level security for their encryption for less than $50. Google has increased their cipherstrength and offers several multifactor solutions as well as foreign agent attack warnings for journalists. GPG offers curve25519 in light of just the implication of poisoned NIST primes. Signal sidesteps bugged SMS in favour of a hardened PFS channel of OTR deniable communication in video, voice and text. Letsencrypt is working to blanket the world in affordable, quick, and easy crypto for any site desired. Finally, tor's many exploits have been patched, and the protocols weaknesses have given way to more secure tools like i2p.

The government is largely focusing on iPhone at this point, and why not. Apple is an easy target to beat on for the woes of late stage capitalism and unchecked foreign policy, however any modern consumer tech company worth their salt has seen the writing for quite some time. Encrypt, and make sure you're out of the loop entirely.

All my J2ME, Symbian, Windows Phone and Android devices have FM radio, using the headphones as antenna.

I object tremendously to that characterization, because "reproducible" is a fuzzy word that never gets defined properly.

These results are almost certainly "reproducible" in that you could take the same people, regenerate all the measurements again, and get the same results by running the methods described in the paper.

These results may not be "reproducible" in the sense that when they do this with a set of 2000 new individuals, they will probably not find the same SNPs at the same significance.

Public discussion that conflates these two only serves to discredit science, without improving it or its process. Worse, saying that only only the second sense of "reproducible" is worthy of "science", would severely impede the process of discovery.

As long as "reproducible" in the first sense holds, scientists can learn from each other. Scientists also need to be able to communicate with each other before announcing to the world "we've solved it all!"

I find that most people (and I'm not including you with this statement, I don't know what you think!) who are bemoaning the lack of "reproducibility" are only interested in that second sense of reproducibility, because they want to open a journal to a random page make broad statements that are widely applicable. Scientists need to be able to talk about things in narrow terms, and specifics, or they will never be able to get to the broad rules that are generally useful.
> Did you perhaps think SfB only works between users in the same organization?

Yes? Doesn't the client connect to exactly one server [pool], which hosts exactly one organization?
Yes, in a way... it’s certainly (IMO) nicer to use than the DOM API. But “done right” used to mean not just “nicer to use” but “actually implemented correctly” (unlike major browsers at the time). Now that the DOM basics are pretty well-standardized, it’s mostly just “sugar” which isn’t necessarily worth the extra bundle size.

Another, bigger factor is that most modern frameworks use some form of templating and binding which means that you have less need to modify/interact with the DOM directly.
By your own logic, the "majority" is going to be 1/3, which is self-defeating.
I would argue that it's not worth my 30 seconds to unlock my phone and open Shazam (which btw turns on the display and the radio, which then triggers other apps to poll for notifications, so there goes your 1%)

I would also bet the database is probably not much bigger then the shazam app itself.

I frankly just find it a well balanced solution both in terms of UX and in terms of engineering.
"If you haven't been hacked by the Chinese you got to ask yourself, does the shit you're doing really even matter?"

I prefer for Signal to be attacked and to matter than to be unattacked and to be irrelevant.
Well said. I'm also a little older and think exactly along those lines.

A mistake in building a feature is not the end of the world. If you don't manage to convince 90% of people at your company, then they will do it, with or without you.

And in fact, you should also consider that despite your absolute certainty that this is a bad idea, you also could be wrong. Maybe your product doesn't need coins at all, but funding wise it may be smart to ride the hype, just to get cash. It's not very classy, but business is not very classy in general.
A practical laundry folding robot that really worked is something in the "take my money take it take it!" category for me. I'd easily pay thousands of dollars for one.
Absolutely. You've no idea the number of times I've sat in a meeting and watched someone who clearly had no idea WTF he was talking about sway a decision maker because he presented his BS (and also swatted down more knowledgeable dissenters) with extreme confidence.

I feel like a project that could help with this to identify package importance by the dependents and downloads.
Probably not. Oumuamua, the first extrasolar object we've tracked through the solar system, has a hyperbolic excess velocity of ~30km/s, or 1/10,000 of light speed.

So in a billion years, such an object could travel 100k light years, or the diameter of the entire galaxy.

Sub-relativistic interstellar travel is very slow on human timescales, but fast on geologic ones.
How could they make loans multiple times the deposits they have unless they too are borrowing money from somewhere?
Privacy in the world is dead (more precisely, dying), for all intents and purposes. The technological cat that enabled its demise can't be put back into the bag. Currently the problem is that certain classes of people have more access to "private" information than others, but once that goes away society will adapt to the new normal and look back with confusion at why we were so concerned about not being able to hide things.
Dead weight losses occur in the case of distorting subsidies/tariffs or one side of the equation is a monopoly.

Nicole Mitchell, an Innovative Flutist with an Afrofuturist Vision
I walked up to Cory thinking I was on his team, and hoping to share a moment with him talking about the things our team cares about. Before talking to me at all, before knowing who I was or why I was there buying his book and waiting to talk to him, his reaction to seeing my employer was to tell me I wasn't on his team, and that furthermore I was in the wrong by default. When someone is that unwelcoming and antagonistic to fans, I can't help but not want to be on his team anymore.

> So, you waved a red flag in front of a bull and got gored.

I did nothing of the sort, I hadn't even given my employer a thought at all before approaching Cory. I happened to be wearing a conference badge, which I didn't show him, he went out of his way to stop and read it. I also happened to be a fan of Cory's at the time. I was aware of how he felt about Disney, and even shared some of his beliefs (about Disney) at the time. I was holding a copy of his book that he watched me pay for. So no, I did not goad him, nor expect him to treat me poorly.

> Maybe it's not right or fair, but it's who they are and they are not exactly secretive about their hot buttons.

You seem to be suggesting that it's expected and maybe even okay to be mean to people in social situations face to face, based on one's dogmatic beliefs. As long as you're right, or just believe you're right, it's okay to slam other people who you suspect have different beliefs than you, even if your evidence is only by association and you haven't checked directly with them?

Oh, that makes sense. What does it currently use to authenticate between businesses - MS accounts or public PKI or something? Or is it trust-on-first-use?

I'm having trouble finding all the docs for setting up Skype for Business federation but it looks like the latter. Since "end" here I think means the business and not the individual user account (for the same reason - all the compliance logs, all the password reset abilities, etc. applies to conversations with other businesses), if they do trust-on-first-use certificate validation of the other business, isn't that already as E2E as you're going to get?

You're kidding right? It's been a feature of iOS for what feels like forever, and it's literally the one thing I miss most when switching to Android. I have witnessed first hand, very un-tech savvy iOS users using the feature, as well as people confused (my daughters) why the same action on Android doesn't product the same result.

I thought this was one of Apple's "protected" features that everyone used/loved - guess not!

I think a poignant explanation of the detriments of surveillance is Glen Greenwald's TED talk 'Why privacy matters'. Basically surveillance causes people to self censor, which is incredibly detrimental to society.
> The vote on Thursday was a victory for the Trump administration and the intelligence community, which opposed imposing major new curbs on the program, and for Republican leadership, including House Speaker Paul D. Ryan, who had blocked the House from an opportunity to consider a less-sweeping compromise package developed by the House Judiciary Committee. They gambled that faced with an all-or-essentially-nothing choice, a majority of lawmakers would choose the status quo — and won.

Normally if you do not like what a House member does there is not much you can do unless you are in that member's district. In that case you can vote for someone other than them.

In the case of Ryan, though, you can do something even if you live in another district. The majority party decides on who will be Speaker. If Ryan's partly loses its majority Ryan goes back to being just an ordinary member of the House, one of over 400. You can indirectly vote against Ryan's speakership by voting against the candidate from his party in your district.

This is a strange way of phrasing the result, since the participants were all from a group of university students their skill distribution in all those fields was probably above average with respect to the overall population (especially since they were Cornell students). So I do not find it that surprising that they assessed themselves higher than warranted because in their experience they probably encountered many more people who had a lower skill level compared to them.

You are correct about point 5 that the devil is in the implementation details. But in the end I think that's not a problem (and that my explanation was actually incorrect).

If you look at what happened to Ethereum when something went wrong, the community just decides to rollback the mistake.

So maybe it's not "math and algorithms" as I stated it, but more like trust in "the community". The community just uses math and algorithms, but is not afraid to rollback when an implementation mistake was made.

You are also correct that cryptocurrencies are not usable for payments. But I would add a "yet" to that. That's why I added counterpoint 3, that an easy to use app needs to be made for the regular public.

I don't see this as a major hurdle, because nowadays even grandparents and kids can use a computer to go on the internet.
