Sufficient to know our data point count is zero, and the model can not possibly have been verified against anything.

This does not require extensive study.

Furthermore, as a bona fide, credentialed expert in computer science, I observe with the full power of my credentials that other fields frequently abuse modeling to get into the news, and that as I said, this shows all the hallmarks of being one of those. There is a profound, mathematical way in which models simply spit back out at you what you put in. This profound mathematical understanding seems to be broadly lacking, and it makes people grant wildly excessive credence to unverified models. As just a single for instance, I expect you have no idea how many models they ran that produced lifeless planets until they finally found one that yielded a result conducive to life. Given the almost-certainty that these systems are deeply, deeply unstable, I expect it is almost certainly the case that they had a large number of runs where the system simply ran away in one direction or another.

Edit: I challenge the downmodders to produce a single data point about an eyeball planet in a habitable zone and demonstrate a model that correctly represents it. "We have to have data before we can verify a model" is not some sort of wild anti-scientific statement; the belief that a model can be trusted without validation is the wildly anti-scientific position!

If some of you are mistaking this for a position on the climate debate, note that we do have data for Earth's climate. Not as much as we might like (could always use more!), but it's certainly much greater than zero. You can literally get more than zero data just by walking outside and observing the temperature right where you are. This point has nothing to do with the climate debate on Earth.
It is also possible that I skimmed over that part!
Ugh, this trend of 'cloud sync' is highly annoying. Let me put an encrypted file on something that resembles a filesystem. If I want cloud sync, I'll put that file on Dropbox/OneDrive/GDrive/Whatever else.

It's only become a big thing after iOS and it's lack-of-a-filesystem and lack of inter-app data flows locked users out of their own devices.

Quite often I don't want many of the "new features". For me, bug fixes and security fixes are the main thing, followed by compatibility updates. I'm quite happy to pay for the latter when it was me that caused the issue by updating my OS/hardware in the first place. I'd quite like some amount of the former to be included in the original cost.
> Superpositions do not collapse by being observed by a human, they collapse by interacting with the rest of the world.

But the article says: "Measuring which slit such a particle goes through will invariably indicate it only goes through one—but then the wavelike interference (the “quantumness,” if you will) vanishes. The very act of measurement seems to “collapse” the superposition." "Aharonov’s approach is called the two-state-vector formalism (TSVF) of quantum mechanics, and postulates quantum events are in some sense determined by quantum states not just in the past—but also in the future. "

Doesn't it mean that future measurement 'pushes' superposition into a definite state in the past?
The idea seems to be that if a variable has a certain kind of Rust lifetime, then it contains only trusted data associated with the program itself, rather than some untrusted input.

Problem is, that is too limiting to satisfy the functional use cases in a lot of code that constructs SQL queries by substituting values into templates, where some of the pieces are necessarily dependent on inputs from logged-in users and such.
What is the reason for wanting background checks of people who plug-in scooters?
Looks correct to me. What issue do you have with it?

They're saying injection attacks come from dynamically building strings, so if you prevent that you stop the vulnerabilities.
So what to you do if you need to make a sql call based on user input?
Yeah. 40 is a good age. I have read that article.
I agree with this sentiment.

I think the only thing you can do is push very very hard into a new area like AR or VUI. Otherwise you just have to hope to get lucky and spam everything and everywhere to get users. You might also have a very small chance by focusing on whatever the new API is that the platform is adding for the newest release. The app stores want apps that demonstrate how awesome the new thing is and will often feature an app that does it well for free. However, you need to realize that you must do it very very well, not just a knock off app.
> But, for example, this guy wants to read his own messages, which is a rather popular use of Facebook. If they wanted to comply with GDPR, they could easily present him a dialog asking solely for permission to process the data necessary to show him his messages.

The normal operation of Facebook processes a lot of your information between login attempts, and not in direct response to yoour action; if they haven't gotten consent that satisfies the GDPR for that before May 25, they need to stop processing your information, which means they need to essentially completely disable and isolate your account, not just from you logging in, but from all visibility and interaction initiated by other parties.

While, in the abstract, a service they processes your information only in direct and immediate response to your UI interactions could adopt a granular permission model and seek consent for just what was necessary to handle each control interaction when you interacted with the relevant control (crappy UX, but it's possible), that's not the way Facebook works, nor is it something it seems Facebook could, with reasonable effort, be reengineered into. I'm not even sure pausing aall processing of your data until consent is received without deleting your account is something Facebook could reasonably be reengineered to do.

“Consent or delete your account” doesn't seem all that far from the choices Facebook practically has under the GDPR.
I don't think you even need to go to the darknet. There are plenty of legal avenues open to you for selling exploits.

I've never heard it mentioned as an issue. But consider that prison sentences in Norway are typically short, coupled with substantial rebates for good behaviour - as well as rewards such as chances at even more lenient conditions, and a system where prisoners start getting leave etc. That adds up to a lot of downsides to breaking the rules.

I don't think it works like this. If your argument for GDPR compliance is that you have your user's consent, it is required that the consent was freely given, when it was collected is orthogonal to that.

Using SQL parameters for untrusted input is the only sane way to avoid SQL injections.

I would rephrase that: People are happiest when they can be true to their inner self and are able to do those things which bring them pleasure.

Every person who is riding one of these scooters is someone who could have been using some other form of transportation.

Now, some of them may have switched from walking; in which case the small amount of sidewalk space taken up by a scooter not in use is an increase in use of space over the status quo; but not a very big one.

But many of them may have changed from driving. A car takes up far more space than a scooter. For each person who switches, you free up that much more space both on the streets while they're driving, and in parking at their final destination.

Having scooters available won't generally mean people will give up their cars. But a combination of scooters, bike facilities, car shares, buses, trolleys, commuter rail, and so on can make it possible to live in a city without a car, or by reducing a family from two cars to one.

One thing that bike and scooter share systems can help do is solve the "last mile" (or more likely "last quarter mile" or so) problem of public transportation. Walking to the nearest bus stop or train stop, coupled with the wait and then time to reach your destination, is a big factor in how efficient public transit is. Having options for being able to get to and from these places more quickly and conveniently can be a big benefit.

And parking spaces are being reclaimed, especially in cities with high levels of foot, bicycle, and public transportation travel: https://www.nytimes.com/2015/01/11/business/when-the-parking...

One way to mitigate that is to continue working on the project; even if you only spend one day a week actually working on a team, you will have to actually understand what is going on and what the technical problems are. If something is delayed you are in a much better position to know why and how to fix it than just getting vague reports from people who don't want to disappoint you. That would probably help a lot of other things like empathy, etc. and if your team has to stay late to finish a release, you stay late too. I think managers often use moving up an excuse to stop doing anything technical, when they should really be keeping in touch with the tech, the teams, and the projects in an intimate way.

People need to comment SQL more!

We have a few ~200 line long queries in one of our applications. With comments one of them is 460 lines.

When things get hairy, don't be afraid to explain why you needed this CTE, what it's doing from a high level, point out that little gotcha that you ran into a few times while developing the query, why you needed to do X instead of the simpler Y, etc...

While there are downsides to excessive commenting (the big one is that the comments can get "out of sync" with the code and just cause confusion), when it comes to big/complicated SQL, I've found that more is better for the most part.
In the first example, the acquirer takes the loss, but can hopefully provide enough cash for the acquired company to survive until the company figures it out (see YouTube). In the second model, the shareholders take the loss; there is no sugar daddy to continually provide cash without significantly hurting current shareholders.
Not sure if your comment is sarcastic, but I'll humor it.

Jupiter is orbiting the sun at 13 km/s (very fast). If you slingshot around it, you can definitely be moving away from it at a decent clip. However, you'll still be going around the sun at a pace near 13 km/s (very fast). You still have to lose all of that orbital velocity before you can even think about going in the other direction. And even if you reduce your orbital velocity to zero, now you're just going to fall into the sun. You need to add the bulk of what you just lost back into your orbital energy, but going the other direction. All of this has to be precicely manuvered to put you in an orbit to meet up with the probe. On top of all of that, you still have to climb out of Earth's gravity well and spend a lot of fuel getting to Jupiter.

Also, once you start going the other direction, gravity assists become much more difficult to do with anything spinning normally. Inversely, if you don't turn around, you'll just wiz by the object when you meet up with it and have hardly any time for science.

Yes. This.

But don't forget compatibility updates. Underlying platforms change all the time, it makes sense for users to have to pay for these updates outside a certain time period.

Well. About 3 years prior my dad had to organise his mothers burial while he was massively grieving.

So remembering that he did not want me to go through the hassle while grieving. So he prepared. And as he always prepared over the top - he had a tendency to be more then perfect in such things. A little OCD. ;-)

Even if he was so not OCD in nearly every other aspect.

So yes - it was over the top. But it was so unbelievable helpful.

My intuition is that it's represented ultimately in a discrete form, but in a symbolically-compressible way, such that continuities can be represented extremely cleanly.

Let's take a contrived example. You know that if you press on the gas pedal of the car, the car moves forward. You also know that if you press hard, it jerks. Your brain doesn't represent all the intermediate states between light and hard pressing, it instead represents the continuity between the two symbolically.

We use these continuity representations at speed to do things in the real world, and breaks in those continuities really trip us up, and force us to slow down until a new representation of the continuity can be formed. When it happens to me, it almost feels like I'm "repacking" the information back into my brain.

But if you meditate on how you learn things, one can come to the conclusion that all knowledge 'feels' the same way in mind. For me, this knowledge is discrete, I've even been able to articulate some 'operations' that one can apply directly onto conceptual units.

If you think about it, an "intuitive" understanding of something means precisely this, you understand the system in whole without having to think hard about what it's doing in parts. Outputs are mapped cleanly to inputs in mind.

3. Having your Amazon account banned can affect much more than just buying groceries due to their highly-integrated services

$15. The cost of a new router, combined with the time it takes to deal with my own hardware makes it an easy sell. It's also worth noting that I'd need to drop the modem & router to erase this fee - the modem rental fee is $10 - so $5/month for a router I don't have to manage, looks even more affordable.

I took the other approach at home. Just bought a new $175 router, which solved my "issues" (old router was crashing with heavy use). At home however, I have plenty of "fart around" time.
Perhaps relevant is that we have also been very bad at modelling the recent and short term future climate of our own damn planet!

Things are finally settling down to the point where models match independent data, e.g. the recent research into sea level changes as measured by satellite.

So now, finally, we can start making informed policy choices based on cost benefit analysis. (Actually, no, who am I kidding - Greens worldwide will keep hating on industry and capitalism, and everyone else will keep pretending AGW isn't real. But at least we could start forming rational policies if we wanted.)

Back on topic, to assume that we can make any kind of predictions about the climate of life bearing exoplanets seems like the height of arrogance given the state of the art in climate modelling.
> Those are entirely human qualities and concepts.

These are entirely human concepts only if you've already accepted some different axioms of your own.

And humans share those things because they were made after God's likeness for the sake of being loved (and more importantly, loving God in return).
