I specifically mentioned those because they have little to no prerequisites other than high school math which I interpret can be read by any non-math major. They’re very self-contained but have very little hand-holding. I think just absorbing a little of these books will establish a decent foundation.
Given that the X1C'18 has a proper 4 PCIE Lane Thunderbolt, just buy an e-GPU if you need decent gaming - e.g. go to a LAN party, that kind of thing.

Considering it has a proper quad core CPU in such a thin frame, it's the best of both worlds really. The external GPUs really sort out the thermal issues when gaming on a laptop.

I have the OG X1 Carbon, still going well - glad I got the i7/8/256ssd model which was top of the line when it first was released (i7 was actually only avail with 4gb so bought i5, but then I had to return it due to a chassis issue; by the time that was sorted, the i7/8 was available!).

I run Win10 on it now which is perfect; had to disable the trackpad when I used Linux a few years ago. Love the Trackpoint, can't see myself upgrading to something that doesn't.
Does anyone know how one can mark him/herself as a "European Citizen" on Facebook so that this GDPR protection applies? Not for me personally, asking for a friend.

CVE-2018-0492: Local privilege escalation in Linux program that plays a beep
Wow, the big three put together did a laughable amount of revenue compared to an average tech major, surprised they haven’t been bought yet.

Where does the fear of these labels come from?

Why doesn’t someone just buy them for the catalog, and fire everyone in the dying parts of the business?

De-risk your revenue model, and gain leverage vs other streaming services.
We have so many decades of improvements in programming methodologies and sophistication, yet independent developers still cannot produce viable software which is alternative to the for-profit model?
>"Your original point was that millennials and younger love the Beatles on Spotify"

No my original point was the value of back catalog.

While its unfortunate that you aren't able to follow the conversation, it's even more unfortunate that you insist on making comments when you have nothing of value to add.
Never heard of ring, looks very interesting!

Questions:

1. Who is developing Ring? Is there a company behind the software? Who are the people?

2. Is it really truly P2P? Does it require servers or known supernodes? If so, what guarantees that those are up? (E.g.: Skype used to be somewhat P2P until MS changed that, and banned old clients from logging in - is that scenario possible?)

3. What is the UI framework based on? (i.e. is it another Electron app?)

4. Bittorent Bleep looked promising, until it was suddenly no more. How are you going to keep Ring afloat? What's going to ensure it's there in 5, 10 years? (As much as I don't like Skype, everyone I need to (video)chat with has been there for 15 years)

Thank you!

Facebook could incorporate the bulk of the EU's GDPR into its privacy policy without violating U.S. law. The same could not be said of Chinese policies.
I get to be part of the discussions since I hack on E-related things.

Mark Miller worked on E and then on Google's Caja (stands for 'Capability JavaScript'). He has been leading an effort to port features from Caja into ES via the 'Secure ECMAScript' initiative: https://github.com/drses

Doug Crockford worked on E and ported E's data mini-language, TermL, to JS and it became JSON. He's also done many other things in the JS community. The json.org website still links into the E archeological site from its front page: http://erights.org/data/terml/embeddings.html

The WeakMap feature of ES doesn't mention it in the spec [0], but the 'sealer/unsealer' capability pattern can be implemented on top easily, and in fact having WeakMap is equivalent to having E's brand-maker or Monte's makeBrandPair, as discussed here: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/cap-talk/4hPYemjPK_Y

I thought this was interesting as a cautionary tale that even tiny open source programs that are widely installed for years can contain critical security exploits. I don't understand the trend of security exploits getting their own website, name and logo though.
Looks like a RTS game
This looks like it's going to be an increasingly big problem for the platform giants, as it pertains to their increasingly aggressive speech restrictions. As they ramp those restrictions up, I'd expect the need for security to increase accordingly.

A mentally unwell person is likely to feel targeted, oppressed, threatened, harmed, etc. by being silenced. They'll feel isolated and it'll very likely feel like a personal attack by the tech company. The platforms today are so large, it surely can seem like being cut off from society in general, like a human right is being revoked.

The people the platforms are looking to restrict based on expressed views or behavior, I suspect, are going to tend to have higher than normal rates of mental illness (emphasis that I think it's likely to be a higher rate, not universal).

I felt the same. It is a decent enough refresher though!

Machine learning lends itself to easily learning additional pieces of math once you have a nice foundation, and it is nice enough that the foundation is pretty small---vector calc, (mostly) real analysis, linear algebra (it helps if you know infinite but orthogonal eigenfunctions), little bit of physics knowledge (statistical models and hamiltonians), and a little bit of differential geometry.

Unfortunately, that foundation is slowly getting bigger. Read some papers in topological data analysis recently. Category theory is crawling in!

It's simply a consequence of our physical laws rather than something that's "enforced". And Relativity tells us that anything travelling faster than that would allow information to travel back in time, thus screwing up cause and effect thus our universe wouldn't exist as it does.
I think you’re partially correct, but you’re missing out on the asymmetry of the risk/reward payoff. People often forget that there is a lower bound to losses (zero), but no upper bound on price (and therefore profit).

Also, most of these bets that have super high payoffs are initially made when others were walking away from similar bets. There’s significant research to support this, too.
The upper atmosphere of Venus is an extremely under-appreciated location in the solar system!

- Closer than Mars

- 90% of Earth gravity (compared to 30% for Mars)

- Atmospheric shielding mass equivalent to Earth's (protected from solar radiation, unlike Mars)

- Large amounts of carbon dioxide and sulfuric acid, with some other trace gasses. You can make fuel, extract water and grow plants from that.

- At 50km altitude, you have ~1atm of pressure, and breathable air is a lifting gas, so you can put a balloon full of air up there and it will float and support a good amount of extra weight. If it punctures then it will just slowly leak, not explosively decompress.

- Temperature ranges from 27-75C, so thermal issues are pretty easy.

- Ample solar influx for power.

Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colonization_of_Venus

Obviously you're floating in the air, so you'd have to bring in metals and minerals externally, e.g. from earth or via asteroid mining, or maybe in the future we could build machinery capable of mining the surface despite its brutal conditions. Or, you know, forests in balloons that you gather timber from.

So yeah, "build a cloud city on Venus" is definitely a crazy idea, but not nearly as infeasible as "terraform Mars" I think! Furthermore, as this paper demonstrates, there are some incredibly interesting and unresolved scientific questions that justify going (as if the sheer beauty of "cloud cities on Venus" is not reason enough!)

Yeah they added it in the most recent version of iOS (11.3) but progressive web apps have a very loose definition the most basic of which is, as you correctly stated, using a service worker. However service workers are just the ground floor of a much bigger building of features that should be able to be leveraged cross browsers.

Suppose at some point of your universe you have some event the consequences of which you don't like. You'd like to roll it back.
Due to the speed limit, said rollback affects only a limited area of the Universe. The "people" inside this area won't feel anything unusual during the operation, b/c their memory will be rolled back, too. You also need reversible physical laws for that to be feasible :)
It definitely had some initial problems.
The p/e is basically irrelevant. You want to buy a company that is somehow broken (hence why p/e is irrelevant - if the company was barely losing money, the p/e would be infinite).

Buying a broken company allows you to fix the flaw(s), and then sell the fixed company back to the market. Even if the p/e were the same, if done correctly, you make a killing on the deal.

The derivation of that law is very suspect:

(go on, it's just a paragraph.)

The key issue that this ignores in my opinion, is that a compiler optimization will rarely make last year's program faster, but it will make next year's program faster. Why? Because if the compiler can't make an optimization, programmers will do it by hand, even if it makes the code worse in some way.

For instance, if your C compiler can't inline small functions, you would use a macro instead. When it finally starts learns to inline, your program won't get any faster, but the next version will be able to use functions in places where macros are a bad fit.

Pile up enough of these optimizations, and eventually it starts to feel as if you're coding in a higher-level language than before, even though the syntax that's accepted by the compiler never changed.

Which still really isn't that much further considering how far we have come so far.
Percival 2009 is http://www.daemonology.net/blog/2009-06-11-cryptographic-rig... - the actual summary recommendation is "Use RSAES-OAEP with SHA256 as the hash function, MGF1+SHA256 as the mask generation function, and a public exponent of 65537. Make sure that you follow the decryption algorithm to the letter in order to avoid side channel attacks."

I assume the misquote is making fun of how long that description is compared to, like, "Use 256-bit AES keys." or "Use OpenSSL." (What specific thing in the decryption algorithm should I be making sure I don't misread in order to avoid side channel attacks?)

It is clear that we are unlikely to ever model anything nearly as complicated as this.

Of course. I emphasized that I believe it's likely to be a higher than normal rate of mental illness, specifically to preempt the obvious responses I'd get, people will emotionally jump to a conclusion that I'm saying everyone falls into that category.

I personally know a few extreme conspiracy theory prone people, that drift into some pretty terrible areas intellectually (from lizard people to anti-semitism). In one case, the person has gotten progressively worse as the years have gone by, they seem crazy at this point. Their views are now being aggressively silenced/blocked by Facebook. I believe mental illness is a not uncommon context with a lot of people that end up like this person and end up getting silenced by the platforms.
