> Barring a major collapse, we are unlikely to forget about them ...

It is not a given that generations that live through changing times
(whether regressing/progressing technologically) will maintain the same priorities
and convictions.

For example, imagine there are 100 (some number much bigger than 1) radioactive waste
sites scattered around locations with different economic capabilities. Then a discovery
is made that, though costly enables complete recycling/cleanup of the nuclear waste.
Some locations are able to cleanup and some are not. The emergence of a solution reduces
the perceived danger posed by nuclear waste. The longer it takes for all the locations
address the issue, the easier it becomes to forget about it.
I really don't think the discipline of the average driver comes even close to the discipline of the average airline pilot.

That, and very very strict oversight of every aspect from the design of aircraft all the way to maintenance is what aviation safe.
Minor note, the mouse gesture config flag they speak about in this article, allowing mouse gestures to work on Linux and MacOS, was actually added in Firefox v58.
Numberphile is one of those series that makes me like math again. That strange, crazy, extreme logic is just great. Then I try to work with it, and I am made glad that I didn't pursue that career.

I especially like the intro to Graham's number and the rough proof that it is unthinkably large, that your head would literally implode into a black hole an uncountable amount of times over.

Math is so boggling. Numbers that are literally super-natural exist and are 'useful' at the same time, yet are impossible to mortals all the same. It's this weird end-around we manage with math/logic. That 'floor falling out from underneath you' feeling, a happy giddiness and smallness.

Sorry, Graham's Number does something fierce to my head, it seems.
I am a fan of vi/vim, esp. as a remote shell editor. But the vi support in readline CLIs is overkill IMHO. I don't see the need for the 'extra power' of vi there, esp. the modes. A few well known keyboard short cuts are just fine for a CLI.

This also works the other way around: A few EMACS based shortcuts are the better 'lowest common denominator' than to force vi modes on everyone. Many are not willing to go down the vi/vim path, for various reasons.
Well brave does intend on displaying ads at some point. Without knowing their exact implementation as to what ads will be displayed it might be possible eventually.
Company has assets that can be liquidated. Even if people decide a company has no value there's still assets that can be liquidated to provide capital back to shareholders. If people decide a crypto is worthless, its worthless.

Well, the example is a very simplistic one for the purpose of this interview. The vision, if you could call it that, was to package other signals e.g. weather, geography, and demography into personalizing a message. Having come from a background of e-commerce I definitely know personalization has a positive impact on cart values, engagement, and conversions. Considering all of that our hope was that we would be that kind of a personalization software for mobile apps.
I was skeptical. But there is also a difference between coming across people flying the flag and a desolate place marked with the symbol. In both cases, the symbol means pirates, but in the first case pirates mean danger and in the second case pirates mean abandoned treasure.
Don't you think that the people who run the pensions invest that money with those same "fund managers"?

The tweets are blatantly inaccurate.

There's an r/android discussion on this currently, where the consensus is that the twitter poster is a serial clickbaiter.

Evidently blocking math is probably not okay.

However, mining is useless without a way to send it back out to the network. I doubt ads need networking capabilities - so just prevent that bit. That should do it, as far as I can tell.
This is really cool! The chart on that page makes it look like Leela Zero is already much much better than AlphaZero (~7400 Elo vs ~5200 Elo). I suspect I'm misinterpreting something though, could you clarify?

I'm not entirely sure what point you're arguing but it seems you miss the difference between one group failing to get erections and another experiencing chronic pain. Ignore sexism and the differences between the sexes for a moment and consider which one seems like an actual problem.
Hmm, I have not considered how they're retrieving driving data. I'm sure they're getting that data back somehow. It's a lot of data to waste.

Do you really use both Dovecot and Cyrus? Which one do you use for what?
Baloney. What about the 18th-century noblewomen dressing as faux milkmaids and shepherdesses to live out the fantasies of their times' literature? What about longbows and suits of Lincoln green? Dressing up like characters we love has been done as long as we've had sufficient leisure to dream.
Do you have M friends, of which you're certain at most N-1 would collaborate to steal from you and/or get hacked? In that case, you can do secure password recovery.

Shamir's secret sharing algorithm can be applied over many groups other than GF(2^N). In particular, you can generate a polynomial of degree N where F(0) is your ECDSA private key, and for 1 < x < M, tell trusted party number x that they're party x and F(x) = y. Cooperation/collusion among any N of the M parties is sufficient to reconstruct the polynomial and calculate F(0). However, N-1 collaborators learn nothing about F(0), as long as you've generated all of your coefficients randomly and uniformly over the size of the subgroup generated by your elliptic curve's generator.

You can even have N parties each generate their own secret random polynomial f of degree N, and publicly share f(0)*G and privately share f(x) with party x. You add up all of the publicly shared elliptic curve points to get a public key for which no one party knows the secret key. Each party remembers the sum of the f(x) secrets they've been told. For polynomials, f(x) + g(x) + h(x) = (g+g+h)(x), so any N of the participants can collaborate to calculate the previously unknown polynomial for which f(0) is the private key. You need to first share Pedersen commitments of the public f(0)G values, perform a sanity check on those, and then reveal the f(0)G values and perform some more sanity checks in order to rule out cheating. See https://duckduckgo.com/?q=gennaro+distributed+key+generation

Once you have your public key for which nobody knows the private key, you can perform the same procedure to generate the random R value of the (R,S) pair of a Schnorr signature. Each party can then perform a Schnorr signature on H using their secret share of R and their secret share of the public key. They each reveal their signatures, and any N of those signatures can be used to reconstruct a polynomial where F(0) is the S value in the (R,S) signature on H. At the end, all of the sub-signatures and the final signature can be made public without anyone learning anything about the secret values. This is called a threshold signature scheme. (There are other threshold signature schemes. I had to implement threshold RSA in Rivest's 6.857 class.)

Unfortunately, ECDSA isn't a Schnorr signature scheme, but Ed25519 is. Any coin built using Schnorr signatures for wallets would allow you to construct threshold wallets where any N of M parties can collaborate to spend from the wallet, but generating transactions doesn't leak information to anyone about how to generate transactions alone.
Well, that gives the Kremlin a free pass to do whatever they want in your book because no statement from anybody - especially not those who are in a position to evaluate the evidence - would be acceptable.

That's a rather high standard you are upholding there, so high that it is unusable.

To turn this around: what other state actor would you posit has stakes as high as Russia in order to attempt to get US government agencies taken down a notch or two?

And, finally: what level of evidence presented by who would be enough to convince you this actually happened?
Maybe SHA-256 itself encodes a complex ritual for summoning the old ones. Bitcoin ASICs are effectively performing this ritual billions upon billions of times per second, gradually drawing the Old Ones closer and closer...
What is a decentralized exchange?

Why would I want to put my money into something "decentralized" when my bank does a fine job?

Cryptocurrencies are complicated and nonsensical at times. I have yet to see anything in this space that makes me actually think it's the future of anything. It's far too risky.

Artificial intelligence: The time to act is now
Sort of. I think this is based on the `registerProtocolHandler()` means, and if so, you can redirect this to an internal page in your extension. See https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/overbitewx/ (disclaimer: authored by yours truly).

The more pressing concern is how you would speak these protocols because there's still no direct socket support. In my case, the addon just acts as a history and redirect shim and my server does the actual server access and translation. I'm actually thinking of cobbling together a native messaging-based extension as a stopgap since obviously this is suboptimal.
I don't think IT expertise necessarily correlates (either way) with something worthwhile to say about politics, economics, or art.
Apple in 2017: Report Card
Not sure what your background is. Mine is physics. I spent a long time in academia before moving to software and machine learning. I agree that in some sense mathematical models are the most efficient means to communicate something about much of physics, and certainly the most important method by which physics is used in applications (e.g. engineering). I would hesitate to go further. There's the empirical part of physics which even as a theoretician I always viewed as more important, and often more subtle, and at least as profound. There is a lot of heuristics, art and intuitive leaps embedded in physics that are not adequately captured by the math.
Thank you. Yes, that's what it's about.

However, it's not so important to get companies to directly donate if the developers who use it push for the donations.

I can't believe this is downvoted; this has been a mantra in the cryptocurrency community for years. If you don't control your private keys, you don't control the coin.

Traders take a risk in putting funds, fiat or otherwise, on an exchange. Many use domestic exchanges that have higher fees in an attempt to mitigate this risk. They are all well aware, but see the reward to be worth it.
I lost the paper with my private key for one of my addresses so much for that advice. so, depending on how organized you are. password reset my be more useful than an exchange getting hacked.
This is true for people who make Peterson the end of their intellectual journey. _But this also holds true for any and all philosophies._ Whatever stink you're detecting on Peterson's followers doesn't necessarily translate to his ideas. Terrible annoying assholes can still speak the truth - we have to evaluate Peterson's ideas on their own merits, which at the very least the NYT article attempts.

All that being said I don't really "get" Peterson. I find his YouTube videos to be rambling and incoherent as he wanders and flits between topics that appear to be only tangentially related. (Though occasionally I'll detect some interesting nugget of an idea).

Initially this seemed to my mind to be a weakness and flaw but now I think it's actually the core of this appeal. His style requires listeners to make the connections on their own, to bring themselves into the lecture as active listeners. A searching young man primed by ennui will make those connections and will self-initiate into Peterson's philosophy, the listener will take ownership of the ideas. This contributes to the perceived clannishness of Peterson adherents.
I've heard of something similar whee drivers (partiularly graphics) trying to get WHQL cert will check for a special registry entry, and only if its present will do the ridiculous unsafe things like directly patching the IDT to get the performance they want, but will play nice otherwise so they pass cert.
My only form of contact is Twitter for many people (they do not have my email). I posted my email publicly though when I tried to leave Twitter. Twitter is (to its benefit) an extremely low-friction form of communication that is not quite the same as email or a phone call. For example, I can say something on Twitter without demanding a given person's attention - rather, they can read it if they want to.

Anyhow, it was more a philosophical problem that brought me back. I said, in so many words, that I wanted to be more "zen" (whatever that means) and eliminate distractions. They argued that I was not in a "zen" place if I let distractions bother me in the first place. So I took it as a challenge (which I failed). I think it easier to turn things off permanently than to master one's own willpower.
If you hosted static ads like it sounds like they did wouldn't it then end up costing more work for less money? If you have someone else host the static ads it'll be the same amount of work but you'll get less money. The issue is that most people don't want to get less money
>... but our knowledge of the phenomenon is exactly equivalent to our knowledge of the math.

I agree with that.

> Ideally we would be writing our vague physics explanations in an oligosynthetic language where we could append phenomes until a word had reached exactly the level of specificity implied.

I imagine each of those phonemes is an additional 'qualification', adding more constraints to what is being said?

I also feel like it should be mentioned that mathematical statements about physical phenomena carry a kind of ambiguity and aren't exact either. For instance, classical mechanics fails to take into account the curvature of spacetime in its predictions; so it may be accurate enough, but 'exact' isn't correct (even though everyone considered it to be for a long time). So then, is General Relativity 'exact'? It's an improvement, but calling it exact is unjustified. Then we have multiple candidate theories hoping to unify the domains of quantum and relativistic phenomena, but 1. it hasn't been done and 2. we still won't know if it's exact or just a better approximation.

It may seem pedantic, but I think the distinction between 'exact' and 'ridiculously close' is important. 'Exact' tempts people into making an identification between the two things.
I know a bit about modern ad-tech.

Ads absolutely need networking capabilities, for tracking stuff like "viewability", or "anti-fraud, brand safety and independent measurement" by some third-party provider. In fact, you can't get serious marketing budget from reputable brand without having your, err... their ad wrapped inside some JS which does networking calls. Brands want to audit each impression you, as ad-tech firm, will serve on their behalf.
I genuinely want to understand her position but this seems she's just taken a long time to make two points.

* More effort needs to be put into addressing pain women feel during sex. I'm in complete agreement.

* People are willing to endure discomfort to give their partner pleasure. She paints this as something that's foreign to men or bad in general. I disagree on both points.

Some of my painful sexual experiences:

* A woman's IUD was literally stabbing the tip of my penis during each insertion.

* Another woman ran out of lubrication just before orgasm. Lost a layer of skin.

* Numerous occasions where I have endured pain similar to extended wall sits or sprinting because she's into it.

* Gave myself a charlie horse one time due to a weird angle.

* Woman was really into scratching. Back was bloody afterward.

* Plenty of occasions where oral isn't enjoyable: bad smell, bad taste, sore jaw, sore neck, etc..

Maybe my experience is abnormal and I'm just an overly generous lover but I'm totally willing to endure discomfort and pain for the pleasure of my partner. I will totally admit that some of this is pressure to perform.

Edit: Made it sound less like /r/ihavesex. It wasn't my intention.
It has no obvious basis because the two aren't related. The phenomenon you describe might as easily have been some other power. Several exercises in my undergrad and graduate E&M courses explored what might classical E&M look like under different models, in fact.
If 100 million of them were stolen you could also imagine that decreasing demand.

It feels like someone telling you that if you don’t let strangers stick you with dirty needles, you’re letting everyone down. Well maybe we are, but I’m still not letting this crap in! Truth be told, most of what ads fund is deeply underwhelming too.

Then once you live on the ad-blocked net, it’s pretty much torture to go back. I swear I can feel my energy, attention, and time being wasted by ads; either the ads themselves or the need to constantly engage critical thinking resources to manage the misinformation.

I think they have a problem with the location database. For instance, the location of my home, according to GMaps, is not on my street but on the parallel one. They have probably tried to do some smart optimization and f*d up. The only issue is that there's no clear way to tell them they have made a mistake...
T-topologically w-what??

I mean yeah, that was the point of my remark.

To write something on topic as well:

There was a fun little challenge on puzzles.stackexchange I think, which relied on the same construction as this article. I couldn’t find it, but it went like this:

“You’re stuck on top of a tall building with nothing but a saw. There’s a ladder fastened to the side of the building, but it’s unfortunately not long enough to reach the ground; in fact it goes about half the height of the building from the top. Challenge is to get on the ground “safely”. You can cut into the ladder with your saw in any way you like and you can assume that the resulting pieces will be rigid, but won’t break under load.”
I use i3wm and always feel left out of these kinds of tips, because i3wm uses Alt for all kinds of Window Management stuff. If I do Alt-F, my shell goes fullscreen, because i3wm is setup to do that.

I have a 2015 Tesla S 70D with first generation autopilot (traffic aware cruise control and autosteering). The car does keep enough distance if you set it that way. The cruise control has a setting for the distance between you and the vehicle in front, the maximum distance is actually about three seconds separation. If you have it on that setting you have time to react, assuming you are paying attention in the first place. Might not be enough time to completely avoid an accident but enough to mitigate it.

Human gender dynamics are not dominated by tournament behavior. Pair bonding dynamics favor men who share in the chores. Humans demonstrate both tournament and pair bonding behaviors about evenly, on a complicated spectrum, and so anecdotal evidence is particularly bad at representing reality. Additionally, human psychology is not dominated by genetics like in other animals, so upbringing and culture are strong, sometimes overriding factors. Learn your biology before you start spewing MRA crap.
Javascript was the bigest mistake to add to the web standards.

However, the web standards themselves are unnecessarily complex. W3C and WHATWG are partly to blame. Remember HTML was supposed to be a document that the user could change the styling of similar to how some gopher clients would let user change the look of how you viewed all content.

However, that is kinda ancient history these days. However, the web standards need to make a new format that breaks backwards compatibility. An app based format, and a document only format. Sadly, I don't see this happening.

--EDIT--
Also a lot of web designed don't care if their site does not work if JS disabled...

If I were to rework the standards. I would make any syntax for standard defined languages quite strict. Further, for document based content make sure content is always readable with out freaking stupid dynamic eye candy.
