That's not what I got from reading it.

My reading is that an accident that was most likely caused by a driver falling asleep resulted in cover-your-ass style changes that have little to no measurable effect on safety, but cause massive real problems with the system that negatively affect millions of riders. And beyond that, they're shuffling blame around and waving their hands to distract people from systemic problems.

I mean, if the delays are caused by slowing the trains down, they should say "we've slowed the trains down due to safety reasons, and that's why there are delays". Then people can either accept that and move on, or do actual studies into the problem to determine if their course of action is correct, and if the trade-offs made are worth it.

I don't think it's some big hush-hush conspiracy; it's just garden-variety corruption and a desire to avoid fixing root causes of problems because they're complex and expensive. Easier to just keep collecting that paycheck while using "overcrowding" as an excuse to get more public money diverted to your agency.

This is a main element of DeLillo's latest book Zero K. A state-of-the-art secret facility is built in a middle of nowhere former Soviet bloc country. It's financed by ultra wealthy people whose bodies are disassembled and frozen with the hopes they will be reanimated in the future.

There is a short chapter that is narrated by the detached consciousness of one of the patrons. She has lost all sense of self and is trapped in a dim loop of pure thought, constantly questioning what she is. Probably one of the most quietly terrifying things I have ever read.
>The cert may protect you from MITM in a coffee shop, but it doesn't necessarily help you against state-level actors.

I can use HPKP to pin the cert I get from Lets Encrypt; a cert issued for my domain some other way won’t be trusted due to the hash of its public key being different from the one I pinned.

From https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Public_Key...:

The Public Key Pinning Extension for HTML5 (HPKP) is a security feature that tells a web client to associate a specific cryptographic public key with a certain web server to decrease the risk of MITM attacks with forged certificates.

HPKP makes administration more complicated but if your threat model includes state-level actors, it prevents them from getting a CA to issue a valid certificate for your domain.

Certificate Authority Authorization (CAA) has been mandatory for CAs since September 2017; it uses DNS to specify which CAs are allowed to issue certificates for your domain: https://blog.qualys.com/ssllabs/2017/03/13/caa-mandated-by-c....

Right up there with Einstein, Bohr, Tesla as one of the most brilliant humans to ever live. Learning about Hawking radiation for the first time forever changed how I looked at this thing we call existence. Thanks, Stephen.
never noticed that was him.

he also did some recording for the pink floyd for the division bell album and that was later reused in their final album.

his voice is in talkin' hawkin' from endless river and keep talking from the division bell.
I had the honor of attending one of his lectures at CWRU in undergrad.

Two things forever stick out in my memory.

#1 - That he told jokes during his lecture. To be wheelchair bound, facing a degenerative condition... and still have humor. Inspiring.

#2 - The respectful silence. At least at the lecture I attended, he live keyed his entire speech. This meant the synthesizer would speak, followed by 20 or 30 seconds of absolute silence as he buffered the next few sentences. I remember not a soul spoke in that time above a whisper.

And he deserved every ounce of respect.

Other articles on Wikipedia concerning the assassination go quite heavily into the conspiracy theory side (and there are dozens of them). I'd find it odd for someone to only read the Lee Harvey Oswald article lead and make their conclusions off of that.

Google will clearly be able to influence bias depending on what article they link to.
That rationale implies that your assumption in #1 is true, which seems not to be the case.

Yes, the signals system needs to be upgraded if they want to increase the number of trains (and their speed) on the lines, but even without the signals system upgrades, they can still run the current loads at acceptably-high levels of safety.

Put another way, they are slowing the trains down and increasing delays while not actually increasing the capacity of the system.
> Is it considered insider trading...

No, it's not. Short selling is not a populist activity, but it's essential for disciplined price discovery. This type of behavior is EXACTLY what the SEC and other regulators want to encourage: self regulation. This is a market solution to a market problem. These vulns may or may not be significant, and the people behind the release may be shady...but this is what society should want to see from market participants. It's no different than performing forensic accounting and discovering massive fraud. There have to be incentives for investors to perform due diligence, and if people only get compensated by rising prices, there will be no incentive to uncover the frauds.
Terms like "nut job" are unhelpful and even destructive. There are plenty of things that are considered common knowledge now that would have got you called a "nut job" 10 years ago except in academic circles. For instance, pointing out the fact that 90% of media is owned by six mega corporations was something that would get you labeled a conspiracy nut before. You couldn't point out the fact that maybe, just maybe desktop applications are phoning home. The response was
What corporation would risk their brand for that? If you claimed that there was a trend to outsource jobs to Asia, you were paranoid. Bush and friends were making up the pretense to go to war. I called that out during the run up to the invasion and lost friends over it. And of course, the government is listening to all your phone calls. You were an absolute crackpot for thinking that.

The open internet without censorship is a good thing, and that's why all these things are common knowledge now. But these large corporations that own new media are trying to reel that back in and get you all under control again.

Sociopaths and pyschopaths exist, people. It's not like all conspiracies are of reptilian alien sort.
Yes! The way I explain it: a sustainable business is one whose customers keep come back because they were satisfied. Until you see that happening, even revenue could be a vanity metric.

(There are exceptions, of course. LASIK surgery, for example. In which case something like NPS can be a better key metric. But generally, repeat business is the best proof that you've got something real.)

Matt Levine wrote about this recently, and comes to a somewhat different conclusion (though he's not a lawyer):

https://www.bloomberg.com/view/articles/2018-02-09/can-noisy...

> If you think a company is bad, or fraudulent, you can sell its stock short and try to profit when everyone discovers its problems and the stock drops. If you want to hurry that process along, you can always noisily publish research reports explaining why the company is bad or fraudulent. If your research reports convince other investors of your thesis, then the stock will drop, and you will make money. There are more longs than shorts, and more dicey public companies than noisy short hedge funds, and so people who use this strategy tend not to be especially popular. In particular people often go around accusing them of fraud, or market manipulation. "Wait," people ask, "how is it not manipulation to short a stock and then publicly announce that the stock is bad?" I am always confused by this complaint. Just flip it around: It's not manipulation, surely, to own a stock and then publicly announce that the stock is good.

(Followed by further justification of this position).
By "verifying who controls the IP space", do you mean verifying control over the IP a domain resolves to? In that case, what you're missing here is that control over DNS lets you alter that IP address to whatever you'd like. The attacker will have no difficulty demonstrating control over an IP address they own.

Google is a private business and they can do what they want, but this disappoints me. More and more Google seems to be thinking of themselves as content police (consider YouTube is owned by Google also), and I think that's a shame. Perhaps it will open up a market for dethroning them. A serious YouTube competitor that doesn't demonetize content they find disagreeable would be very healthy, IMHO.
One of my most enduring memories is putting on the audio book for "A Brief History of Time" to listen to on a long drive home with my brother.

I'd read and listened to it before, but sitting there watching my brother listen to it for the first time, I realised just how clearly and succinctly Hawking mapped out the ideas and way of thinking I use to try and find my place in the universe.

I'm quite grateful I had the opportunity to read it.

From that paper, 'The term
“manipulative... connotes
intentional or willful conduct designed to deceive
or defraud investors by controlling or artificially
affecting the price of securities."

If the claims you're making are true, then it's not deceiving or defrauding, even if the way the information was published was immoral under standard professional ethics.

If these vulnerabilities were misrepresented by the short sellers that funded it, then I suspect that would bring them into stock manipulation territory.

HEVC Advance Eliminates Streaming Royalty Fees
In term 1, you say P(z_k | x_k) is a probability (which should be a scalar value between 0.0 and 1.0 inclusive). How did we get from the vector pdfs of measurement and estimate to a scalar probability? Maybe you meant evaluating a pdf at an arbitrary point z_k, getting its density (scalar non-negative value, between 0.0 and infinity) at that point? I have the same confusion on your other enumerated terms. If they are probabilities, I'm only familiar with getting those by integrating the pdfs over some set of bounds or range.

I've seen the k subscripts plenty before, and some people use + and - to indicate pre and post parts of an operation, others put conditional vertical bars in the subscripts, but your definition for the pdf of z_k is a bit different than I'm used to. If we focus on the current instant of time (dropping the subscripts), ignore the motion model part, and only deal with a single measurement, I would say the estimate and measurement are defined like this:

estimate ~ Normal(mean=x, covar=P)
measurement ~ Normal(mean=z, covar=R)

Then there is an elegant formula looking at it as an information filter, using Matlab-ish notation:

Y = inv(P) + H'*inv(R)*H
y = inv(P)*x + H'*inv(R)*z

update ~ Normal(mean=inv(Y)*y, covar=inv(Y))

Ignoring the information filter stuff, and getting back to your list, Term 1 looks like a pdf with the dimensionality of z, but the result in Term 4 is a pdf with the dimensionality of x. In otherwords, the resultant Term 4 is a pdf (function) which takes a vector argument in the x space, and I don't see where to pick any given z for the pdf in Term 1.

It's getting late, and I'm getting spacey, but it's tempting to try and write the type signatures of these functions in some strongly typed pseudocode so I can show you my confusion.

I'm not sure what that person's version of the antenna idea is, but mine generally implies the brain is still in charge of the actual effects themselves, but needs somewhere to send it all to. The "somewhere" isn't chemical, and is just a receiver, and can't do anything if the sender (the brain) is damaged.

The "somewhere" is distinguished due to the fact that a given person is a specific person and not another person (if you deny this, this makes ethics and emphatic transfer unworkable, which doesn't seem right).
Yeah, the point in your first paragraph is part of what I was trying to point out. Even within Wikipedia, there is odd inconsistency regarding this topic.

> Google will clearly be able to influence bias depending on what article they link to.

...and yeah, that's really the thing. How do you decide to which article to link given a particular topic or meta-topic? It's a tough challenge.
What you are saying here is an order of magnitude milder in its certitude than koolba's assertion that the given punishment was "hardly a deterrent" and "barely a slap on the wrist." In addition, you are comparing this doctor's punishment to the seriousness of this doctor's crime, whereas the koolba unreasonably compared this doctor's punishment to the sum total of the harm caused by an entire epidemic of which this doctor played only a negligible part.

So yes, I stand by my claim that the original poster's point was an emotional reaction.

Had koolba instead said something like, "An adequate deterrent should be in proportion to the crime committed, and I believe 4 years in prison falls below that standard for reasons X, Y, and Z," then I would not have called that a knee-jerk emotional reaction. But he didn't.

There is no evolutionary pressure.

Evolution is not an endless race to a superior form: mother nature is content with "good enough". Many modern sharks arrived 100 million years ago while modern humans are believed to be 70,000 years old. Why? Sharks were good enough.

Humans are good enough now. Even weak people can survive just fine - even people with defective genes that would not survive enough to reproduce a century ago. Not only dumb people can survive but there are evidence they procreate a lot more than smart people.

I'm just playing the devil's advocate.

This is still harmless compared to my worries, sadly. Imagine Stalin/Hitler/Mao 9000+, sending coffins into orbits around suns to keep alive and torturing their victims until the star goes out. The Catholic Church in medieval times could "only" threaten and kill, but look how reall the fear of hellfire was... yet just the technological possibility of doing this would suffice, no need to actually do it to every dissident. Do it to some, with great publicity, maybe a live feed of their torture with mandatory attendance for all citizens, secretly kill most others and send out empty dummy coffins. Super cheap, same, horrible result. At scale, "forever".

I wish I could consider it gruesome fiction, but to me this is the ocean the syrup of power and sadism wills towards. It was fantasized about for the same reasons it will be implemented, everything else remaining the same. Humans have gotten more, not less sick.
