Calculus as a post-graduate subject?

That would either be real analysis, in which case "the same concepts" is a highly misleading description at best, or else it was not a math department.

That said, browsing a syllabus for a real analysis course, you could be pardoned for thinking it was the same material as a Calculus course. You would be wrong, but you will see a lot of the same keywords.

The difference is that things which are claimed in the Calculus course, such as the mean value theorem, actually get rigorous proofs from the 13 standard axioms for the real numbers. The first 9 being the usual rules of arithmetic for fields. The next 3 make it into an ordered field. And most of the attention goes to the 13'th axiom, If a non-empty subset has an upper bound, then it has a least upper bound.
Same here, Redwall and scones in particular.
FYI, remittance payments are via bitcoin are substantially more costly than best-in-class transfer services, and they have more risk.

This use case is constantly put forth by people who don't have to send money anywhere, because those people have no clue what they're talking about.
One of the things that keeps creeping into my head about sentient machines, the robot future etc etc is this: If they become sentient, and have extraordinary capabilities etc etc ...why on earth (no pun intended) would they stick around here? They certainly wouldn't be limited by the same things we biological beings are. They could just leave into the great expanse - poof, I'm outta here dad!

Furthermore, lets say, we become part of the machines (a la Greg Bear's EON / Way universe). The line of thinking and questioning starts to move towards resources. These incredible advances in machines, it seems would be accompanied by incredible advances in resource utilization. The notion of poor vs rich entities would be completely different, in relative terms, than what we think of them today.

Our insignificance relative to the machines might not matter in the slightest. fwiw - worth reading David Brin's uplift books - in those the machines seem to generally stay the heck away from bio life forms :)
I found some BTC change on a backup drive. Said change was now worth a few hundred dollars. Was neat!
Wikipedia disagrees:

> In computing, a hyperlink, or simply a link, is a reference to data that the reader can directly follow either by clicking, tapping, or hovering. A hyperlink points to a whole document or to a specific element within a document. Hypertext is text with hyperlinks. The text that is linked from is called anchor text. A software system that is used for viewing and creating hypertext is a hypertext system, and to create a hyperlink is to hyperlink (or simply to link). A user following hyperlinks is said to navigate or browse the hypertext.

The URL in the abstract is not a "link." A link is an element in hypertext.
I've been thinking I wanted a router with two wi-fi networks.

One that goes through the ISP and one that goes out over a proxy.

I haven't found a solution just yet. I guess a raspberry pi with iptables and routing based on device ID could do the trick too.
Then perhaps OS vendor should start thinking about unifying their UI SDK using web engines, because having to support the finicky toolkit of every OS is a waste of engineering time.
Something about "Hey Siri, ..." is much more grating to me to say than "Alexa, ...". Maybe it's just that conjunction of phonemes being rare in English?
Obscurity does not mean security. Just because the link wasn't referenced does not imply it is sensitive information.

I bought a home in Candelas knowing all about the rocky flats incident.

While the home builders are certainly not forthcoming on details of the incident, the site you linked to is packed with scientific inaccuracies and fear mongering.

I personally know workers who performed the cleanup, and also have reviewed health data which shows zero increase in cancer in the entire area for the 30 years since the last incident.

People like you are why I moved here. The houses are cheaper because of the reduced demand than they otherwise would be.

I'm on a phone, but later I will post a thorough debunking of the candelas glows site. People who don't understand the difference between alpha and beta particles, not plutonium vs uranium vs strontium have no business writing this stuff. It gives actual environmental contamination awareness campaigns a bad name.
I agree, how we are tracked needs to be more transparent/upfront. Clearly these companies will make every possible effort to hide what’s going on behind the scenes so this stuff needs to be regulated. Companies like Google/Facebook are not upfront about what they capture and how they capture it because they know many people would not be comfortable with it. Unlike non-advert business models, the actual transaction that is happening is tucked away in a EULA. This to me is the sign that consumers, especially non techies, need protection.
The nature of odds would require that. Otherwise how would you calculate 1:3 odds?

If someone told you that you could get a specific file from a filing cabinet, it would be antisocial of you to start flipping through the other files to see what was in there.
When I'm at Target I kinda expect them to keep an eye on things I buy and let me know of things I might want to buy.

What I don't like is when they follow me over to Panera and look over my shoulder at what I'm ordering there. I think that crosses a line.

Have been using these tools for years. As essential as sysinternals. Would love to see some of his source code from which to learn. Everytime Im in a bind will turn to tools from this site, such as when forgot PST passwords on a 10 year old mail file. The networking and port tools have always been hugely useful. For context I work in a large global ISV, use Windows laptop, and travel often. Having Nir's utilities available has often enabled me to rescue myself from my own mistakes, or resolve things like networking. I too would be very happy if he would put up a donate button!
The FBI agent that first did the investigation found out about it by hiring a private plane and was able to "see" the radiation in Stanley lake right there with an ir camera. I suspect that is why swimming is still not allowed in that lake. Also there are lots if cases of aweful cancer in the families that lived in the area and had well water, lots.
I usually end up skimming/skipping lengthy food descriptions in fantasy books. They don't add much to character or plot development. I like the idea of 'engaging all five senses' but think there should be more intentionality in it than just engaging senses for the sake of engaging senses, which is often what food descriptions seem like.
Then you can't use US components in things you send on after saying you wouldn't.
> This Orwellian attitude that looking at anything is criminal if the government retroactively decides they didn't want you to see it, is terrifying.

This is the big problem here. There's no way the way the Freedom of Information Act in Canada is written the way it is because of the democratic wishes of Canadians. Every day our government moves further away from governing according to the will of Canadians and more toward the will of.....I don't even know. Saying it is the will of politicians doesn't explain some of the strange behavior we've been seeing in this country for quite some time.

If our fate is to ultimately live under a quasi-dictatorship masquerading as a democracy, then so be it, but I wish we could just be honest about it. This objectively false "Canada is a democratic nation" claim is infuriating to me.
I think you're misunderstanding. Consider a merge like the one below. Each line is a lane, and the direction of travel is upwards. This is sometimes how an on-ramp ends, for instance.

||
||
||\A
C|| \B
|| \

Cars A and B are in the \ lane, and Car C is in the leftmost | lane. The \ lane has a yield sign.

The driver in Car A is a new driver, and is uncomfortable merging. The lane they would be entering is clear, but they're spooked by the car in the far lane and stop unnecessarily at the merge point.

The driver in Car B behind them is following closely and is preparing to merge by doing a shoulder check. They are not looking forward when the car in front of them stops. If the way had been blocked they would have been expecting the car ahead to stop, but they had seen it was clear.

The driver of Car B is at-fault in that collision. They were depending on the driver ahead of them to behave predictably, and they were not driving defensively enough. A warning noise would probably have triggered them to slam on the breaks and might have prevented the collision. Automatic emergency breaking would do the same, perhaps more reliably.

(This was a real accident. I was a passenger in the lead car.)

More nostalgic sentiment longing to be reactionary without any balls to do so. Rinse, repeat. Wake me up in 10 years when the neo Luddites are clamoring for the web of 2018.
Like the Stripe model, amounts should be in cents (integers), don't use decimals.

Functions such as allocate() are super useful:

// returns an array of two Dinero objects
// the first one with an amount of 502
// the second one with an amount of 501
Dinero({ amount: 1003 }).allocate([50, 50])
"Security" is irrelevant--there is no obligation to "secure" private property. Obscurity, on the other hand, implies that the property owner did not intend for people to access certain property. That is what matters.

But 99.9999% of app store rejections aren't malware related. It's a scapegoat reason of convenience, but not the real reason, v.i.z. Apple's insatiable monopolistic ambition of totalitarianism, of cock-blocking freedom on their devices.
So? Perhaps one of the facets of the GDPR is the EU’s willingness to accept that fostering “globally competitive tech companies” may not be in the best interests of itself or its citizens.

That's great for you, but the rest of us have to put "work" somewhere in that list :)
Phones, bullhorns, billboards, postcards, bumper stickers, guitars, TV transmitters, etc. are dumb pieces of property that people use to communicate. (Why don't I have to get permission to look at your billboard?) Computing devices are different from most of these in a single respect: they can act autonomously, as their operators intend. In fact it is customary that they do so, just as it is customary that billboards are viewed by the public. Jeff Bezos doesn't have to stay at the console approving everything whizzing in and out of AWS. There's nothing anthropomorphic about recognizing that intent may be coded in such a way that a computer obeys that intent. In future please consider reading more charitably.

You post often enough on this topic that we all know your position, before you post. Consider, if you will, whether your preferred position is one that will lead to improvements. I posit that it will not. Your position, if adopted, would lead more faceless totalizing organizations to amass, against our will, more of our personal data, and to be less careful stewards of the same. We have far more to fear from those organizations than from 19yos.
To confirm - I did such a trip this summer. It was really incredible, would recommend it to anyone interested in walking right up to the face of the reactor.
This, and also marking which one is the worst one, so I do that one first without slacking off and then the rest is easy.

The other thing is that I usually leave a context file (which says "you were adding X to function Y and then debugging Z") in whatever directory I'm working in so that I remember what I was doing if I was in the middle of something.
I'd imagine it cuts out the donation incentive, along with taking out a lot of the glory for creating items thousands of people use by yourself.
A link is nothing of the sort, it's a colloquial term that connects one point to another. It is not unique to HTML or programming in the slightest. In those terms a URL is always a link because the only practical reason for inventing the concept of a universal resource locator is to link one thing to another without them coming into conflict. There is no reason for a URL to exist except for it to be a link and it has nothing to do with the DOM.

Here's another change-up in the analogy: it's like a public library, and you ask the librarian on where a certain book is located. They direct you to the book. You notice the other books on that bookshelf also may contain information relevant to your interests, so you check them all out.

Sure, it'd actually be like checking out every book in the library, but this is the age of the internet and it's an insanely useful skill to learn how to grep large amounts of text.
Contrary to most comments here, it is significant that other companies do. Facebook competes in the free market. If they scale back on data collection, that will hurt their offering to advertisers and cost them money that will go to Google and others. That lost revenue will harm their ability to retain talent and build new products, and ultimately cost them their user base. “We don’t track you” is not as compelling a feature as “free video chat across the globe.”

Facebook doesn’t operate in a vacuum. They can’t scale back data collection unless others do. Moreover, the United States doesn’t exist in a vacuum either. Scaling back all US companies will give a leg up to competitors in more lenient jurisdictions.
And you also can't get a security update when someone figures out how to turn your lightbulbs into a botnet.

> In fact many resources can be discovered by programmatic access, and there is no inherent reason to think this is wrong.

Agreed. There is no inherent or intrinsic reason to expect that any given document or any given URL ought to be restricted. However, a look at the documents could have provided some extrinsic reason to stop looking. For example, if I find a filing cabinet full of classified documents, I will not continue leafing through them after I see the first one. I will stop immediately and notify someone appropriate (after contacting my lawyer). I do not intend to access classified documents.

The question is one of intent. Did the individual intend to access documents that they knew or should have known that they ought not access. If the kid pulled down one classified document, took a look, realized what he was looking at, and deleted it and notified the authorities, then I'm with the crowd. Likewise if they pulled down the entire archive without looking at any of them. I'll be on the front lines with my pitchfork.

On the other hand, if they saw the first classified document, then pulled down the rest of the trove hunting for more, some amount of punishment is probably warranted. Even then, I would say fifteen years is too much. Maybe a few months of time and probation, depending on exactly how much willfulness was on display.

I imagine these are the kinds of questions that will be resolved during the trial.
How would you classify your firm? Hedge fund or prop shop? Size and AUM? What percentile would you say your compensation is compared to your peers?
Don't forget to mention: the absolutely do not have a democratic mandate from the Canadian public to behave in this manner. Our government in many ways is getting to the point where it can legitimately be considered a rogue, adversarial actor in our country, and unlike in America, we don't have a second amendment as a last resort to protect us.
Does that work for you? Do you think it works in general? I do get the impulse to click on a link - and you are claiming that having to activate something (like I would do with uMatrix, I suppose?), makes you cognitively pause?

I guess we're all wired differently. That one doesn't seem to be a challenge to me (although, I can assure you that there are other unhealthy things that I wish I could figure out how to stop doing).
>Officers took her 13-year-old daughter to question her in a police car.

Why are the cops allowed to do this? Why do you have to be "rescued" by your lawyer in order to not be questioned by the police without legal representation? Not sure how it works elsewhere but the cops badgered the fuck out of me until my lawyer finally got to the station and chased them out. So, if I was a 13 year old on the way to school and thrown into the police car, they could just do that until I crack?
The computer is not a person and what it does only matters insofar as you may infer that the owner of the property programmed it to do what the owner intended.

As you admit, the property owners did not intend those documents to be accessible. So the only relevant question is: would a reasonable person infer that documents which could only be accessed by editing a URL (by "tricking the HTTP server," if you insist on anthropomorphizing a dumb machine) was intended or not intended to be accessed?

I think most people would assume that documents that can only be accessed by editing an ID were not meant to be accessed. And that really is the end of the analysis.

Amazon's kindle ereaders are sold with a thin profit. (I don't think that the average kindle owner purchases enough books that they generate significant revenue after IP costs are subtracted.)

There is an obligation to secure sensitive information of people. Obscurity is not security, and so Nova Scotia was improperly storing the data.
Yes, pushing buttons or boxing amazon deliveries is a waste of humanity's time. The question is will society allow us to move to a system where we work 20 hour weeks doing the same amount of productive work we do now.

I would like to think we will. I suspect we'll have people doing 60 hora a week of breaking rocks for no reason other than making those higher up the food chain think they aren't hetting a free ride.

Drastically simplified source access for the silicon partners seems more important for the business case. I agree the power aspect, absent more specifics, sounds wrong.

Did you figure it out? If not, I assume from what I read that the author is referring to many systems keeping replicas of data on different members of the cluster. By keeping replicas, you increase the amount of data stored by can survive the failure of any given node.
There are plain english guidelines available for the GDPR, in the UK they are published by the ICO which is the government agency tasked with enforcing the law. I'm sure there are edge cases which aren't fully documented but as long as you're not pushing the edges of the law and are trying to stay within the spirit you will be fine. Probably.

0. You require the third party you passed the data on to delete data when you tell them. The third parties should tell the person that they now have their data, where they got it from, how they will process it and how to get in touch with their data protection officer.
1. You can but you must also allow someone to delete in full (assuming none of the many reasons to reject removal requests apply or you don't wish to exercise them).
2. This is murky, but probably not. There's a right of freedom of expression and information.

I'm confused: they're saying the devices have an ARM A7 chip (presumably they mean Cortex-A7) in them, which is a full 32-bit microprocessor, but they're calling them "microcontrollers"?

I would think Windows could run on a Cortex-A7, no? Perhaps the specific parts they're using have a ridiculously-low clock rate or other painful limitations?
Totally with you. Maybe I'm a pessimist or a luddite or something, but I really don't think IoT devices should be connected directly to the Internet. Most are just too simple, underpowered or cheaply made to adequately defend themselves from attacks. IoT gadgets should always talk to a more powerful/secure hub of some sort, which then is exposed to the Internet. Seriously, my WiFi lightbulb switch just has no business doing anything outside my internal network...

And god help us when all these IoT devices start talking IPv6... With no NAT and anemic firewalls on most routers? Oof.
