Open source developer here. Also used to get Certum certificates with reduced price for open source developers, but their smartcard junk convinced me to use another provider. And they also raised their pricing policy.

I ended up with Comodo, which was "cheap". I then discovered that this was cheap for a reason: they did not provide the identity validation (something which was not clearly stated anywhere), and I had to pay for a notary certification (which was about twice as much as the certificate price), because apparently in the US an ID card is considered as reliable as your sport club membership card.

The whole Microsoft code certification is a shit show. It provides no security whatsoever, feeds an incredible number of incompetent parasites, and at the end is a real burden for open source developers like me, who want to get rid of the nasty Windows security messages, but also want to avoid being targeted by download sites bundling your binaries with some adware crap.

Somehow this seems to be a confusion of categories: markets are real-world mechanisms, while P and NP are mathematical abstractions. Does not compute. To the extent that it does, it's typical mathematical macroeconomic BS.

We actually don't know what Google News' algorithm is based on. I don't think they've ever said it's simply counting clicks.

Heck I worked there for years and I have no idea how News ranks things. Ranking one was one of the few parts of the Google codebase not accessible to all engineers.

It'd be a much more trustworthy product if they did explain how they rank news stories. Newspapers aren't general websites, there are far fewer of them, the risk of gaming the algorithms is much lower.

I economics you sometimes define mathematical objects to model real world markets. It's these models that the paper talks about.
In economics, the difference between "efficient market" and "epsilon away from efficient" is very little.

IE, it is almost as good.

So sure, maybe the market isn't 100% efficient. Maybe it is instead 99.99999% efficient, and that's good enough.

Or in other words, The author of the paper is trying to be clever, and in the process he kinda misses the point of why the efficent market hypothesis is important to begin with.

Markets are a conceptual and mathematica abstaction used to describe the real world.... so is

YouTube comments have very low value. Much lower than Facebook threaded comments, because at least you're friended those people whereas on YT they're all randos trying to get attention.
Yes, but how the author relates that to a market's continuous price calculations is beyond me.
I might have been thinking of a different definition of 'common' than you were. I don't doubt that more than one person like this exists, but nobody who has attempted to study this has found that the vacancy rate is significant. e.g http://www.spur.org/sites/default/files/publications_pdfs/SP...

Can't forget about direct messages on Instagram, either...
I've heard this again and again through my career as though it's some sort of gotcha. I think most people understand the difference between developing (for example) a communications client which among its future customers, may include a military, and actively working (for example) the targeting system of a predator drone.
http://macstories.net for Apple coverage — usually really deep, found a lot of apps there.
The communication between client and server is encrypted and probably authorities would like to get the keys for it. By default Telegram doesn't use end-to-end encryption, and the messages are received in cleartext on the server.
It's enabled by default and AFAIK maybe even impossible to disable.

Probably not what you're searching for, but youtube is full of recordings of tech talks and I watch them all the time. If I want to hear about a particular topic I'll just search for the topic or "<topic> talk", but I also have a few channels related to conferences and things like that bookmarked. They're only useful once a year, but it saves me from searching randomly when I don't have anything particular in mind: GOTO Conferences, Jane Street (they recently started uploading videos of talks they host at the company), Strange Loop, Curry On!, PapersWeLove, CppCon, InfoQ, Racket Lang, ICFP.

The Ada95 standard was covering a language far more rich than C++98 (it included all multitasking and did not rely on C standard). Its level of clarity and concision is incredible compared to C++98. Both languages were comparable at that time (same age, same usage).
If the core value proposition of a piece of software, that it's marketed for, is automatic photo organization, it kind of defeats to purpose to have to configure something to make it do what you want. Most people don't want to configure software, they want it to make their lives easier out of the box as much as possible.

If the only thing you care about is backup, Dropbox and other services offer that (e.g. Keepsafe). I use Google Photos because of peace of mind. I know I never have to worry about losing photos, and when I need to find them, it's easy. I've got like 20 years of photos backup. Just yesterday, I wanted to show someone a picture of my daughter from a trip we took in 2012, and I found it in about 5 seconds. When I take photos of my kids, they are automatically shared with my wife, instead of having to constantly manually be asked for them, and manually select them. I focus on just taking pictures and spending time with my kids, I never worry about photo backup, or photo organizing anymore.

Stop Working ‘Til Midnight: A Workshop for People Who Want Their Lives Back
You didn't really provide an answer to why the USA keeps killing innocent people other than asserting the US military is designed to kill people (which is absolutely true) but I'm not seeing the reasoning why innocents are killed. Nearly everyone in the world agrees that innocents should not be killed, and I think it's fairly safe to assume the US military does not pride itself on the deaths of innocent civilians.

Obama's administration misrepresented the drone program for its "surgical precision" and "ability with laser-like focus to eliminate the cancerous tumor called an al-Qaida terrorist, while limiting damage to the tissue around it" [1]. Seems to me like a targeting issue.

So I guess my question to you is: If the drone program was somehow 100% precise and it only affected people the US government deemed as "bad people", would you still be against it? If so there's no real point in our sub-discussion, as you're wanting Google to somehow shut down the drone program and I want Google to help reduce their false positive rate to zero.

As you've said, neither of us (nor Google) has the power to shut down the program, so I'd rather at least try and support doing good by reducing the deaths of the innocent until some sort of miraculous shift in US politics can result in a more permanent shuttering of the program. And I don't see that happening as even Bernie Sanders supports the drone program [2]. It's here to stay whether people like it or not, so why not focus on making it more accurate.

It also baffles me why there is no good (open?) solution for showing, finding and managing events I might want to attend in my town. Music venues, cinemas, theatres, ... all have their own separate listings, and in most places, it is impossible to see them all in one place, let alone to import them to your own calendar, or to get personalised recommendations.
But, but, that's just how Blogs work man :)

They clearly attribute it to them (though I find it a tad lame they don't have a specific attribution area), and you could argue that being featured on a popular blog helps people discover them, and with google ranks as well. Curation does add some value and it's not like The Verge for instance doesn't create its own content.

I find sites that just repackage reddit stuff to be much much worse.
>Drones can be produced and deployed in higher quantities than aircraft

Once again that is a political issue. If someone finds a way to suddenly reduce the cost of bullets by 50%, the response from the military shouldn’t be to buy twice the number of bullets.

>with AI you won't necessarily need one man behind each drone

The article denies that is how the AI would be used.
A lot of companies do tend to reach for the "nuclear option" of crying to the press when getting rejected even though they haven't yet gone through all the steps of trying to resolve the issue privately.

> What could Apple be telling Telegram that is such a massive showstopper?

Good question. I don't know. There are a lot of possibilities here and it's impossible for us to know what without Telegram telling us the actual rejection reason.
The Macintosh XL (aka Apple Lisa) ran Xenix (https://virtuallyfun.com/wordpress/2009/02/10/apple-lisa-xen...), so Linux probably could be ported to it.
Telegram is used by those people. As is Facebook, Twitter, Tor, the road network, cash, credit cards, Walmart supermarkets, mobile phones, electricity... That one bad person, or group of bad people, use a technology in support of their wrongdoing does not make the technology bad.

(I'm agreeing with you, just stating the point more obviously).

Sure, but significant facts come out of it:

* Economic systems are optimization algorithms on an NP hard problem. Hence markets have no special efficiency capabilities, they are simply a choice of optimization algorithm, there may be better ones out there with more favorable properties. Any optimization algorithm with similar resources could have effectively equivalent efficiency. This destroys the economic calculation problem.

* That you are wrong about the small epsilon. You can't make even that kind of guarantee in the face of NP hardness. What the market has a state may be wildly far away from the optimum, the market could be stuck in a local minima, and without P=NP you can't even know how far from optimum you are. Without a complexity class for markets you can't even begin to discuss it's properties, and that's what this paper is an attempt at.

It is your cleverness that misses the point, the author is trying to attach 21st century computational theory to economics (he may be wrong, but economic theories aren't going to help disprove it) and it's going to have some consequences.
While I see your point, as a EU citizen it baffles me how anyone is allowed to generate and store biometric data without consent and face no legal trouble - it's not like this is some nitpicking on a highly specific legal detail...

None of those in any way support your comment, whatsoever.

And calling Chechnya Russia is similar to calling Peurto Rico the United States. It's a subject of Russia, but is not what you'd call Russia. It's a 95% Islamic nation that waged a lengthy war of terror attacks against Russia and has its own independent government, rules, and laws which are driven primarily by Islamic law. You'll find nations driven by Islamic law tend to make Russia look like LGBT heaven.

Of course Russia is no such thing. It's illegal in Russian to distribute 'propaganda' for homosexual or bisexual advocacy in the presence of minors. And that in turn is used as a justification to prevent nearly all public homosexual or bisexual activism, though people are free to do whatever they want in private. In any case stating Russia is engaging in "mass murder of gay people" is something way beyond sensationalism and a reflection of how our media's efforts at creating a Red Scare has, arguably intentionally, driven people completely to the point of overt ignorance. It's like wartime propaganda, without a war.
Equal number of people doesn't not solve the principle agent problem.

The idea of the principle agent problem is that the best person who is able to understand their own wants and desires is the person themselves.

Markets are currently the way that puts the maximum amount of control into each individuals own hands.

IE, a person has X resources, and they can trade them how they like because they are best able to understand what makes them better off.

If your solution is to take power away from an individual, with regards to how they spend their own resources, IE, by controlling their "means of production", you are going to run into the principle agent problem.

Also, with regards to the paper talking about P=NP is missing the entire point.

Sure, markets aren't 100% efficent. They could instead be 99.9999% efficent. And that's good enough and side steps the whole P=NP problem.
Agreed, I was also quite skeptical about the section you quoted. It seems like a much more hand-wavey proof than I'd expect to accompany an important result like this. Surprised that it was published (in a journal called Algorithmic Finance, which seems respectable enough) in this form.

>markets are real-world mechanisms, while P and NP are mathematical abstractions

We use mathematical abstractions to model real-world mechanism every day for millennia.

Not only that, but there are all kinds of mathematically defined limits that no real-world mechanism can bypass, from a purely logical perspective.

If you only have 10 dollars and I give you 20 dollars, you'll have 30 dollars, not 500 -- that's a mathematical truth that absolutely holds in the real world too.

If there's no end to end encryption, I assume some three letter agency already has access.
The market cannot be efficient because a large portion of public information is not true.

Even if all the information was true, there is still the problem that humans have very poor reasoning abilities combined with herd mentality which almost always overrides the reasoning part.

To predict the market, you don't need to understand the market, you need to understand people's distorted view of the market.

Corvidae are smart as hell. I think they're one of the most clever animals around. I'm not sure when or why I started, but I have fed (American) crows for years wherever I live. At my current place, I have been feeding a particular crow (and his mother) as long as he's been alive. I specifically remember his mother setting up shop in the palm tree across the street when she had this particular crow. Anyway, he follows me when I leave the house. This crow literally follows me to the grocery store, or when I go for my run, or to the convenience store. His mother doesn't, though. I have tried to take him in by leaving my lanai door open, but that is just one barrier the crows around here never seem to overcome. I've let other crows into my house before, but the crows in this neighborhood clearly think it is a deadly proposition. I don't know how weird any of this is, but it's just something I've always done.
