Let's Encrypt effectively shoots a hole--and this is a good thing--in the idea that TLS is for a meaningful kind of identification and establishes once and for all that the primary reason for TLS is for secured communication across the open internet.

And...that's it. CloudFlare operates in this spirit. It does not route traffic from its edge nodes across the open internet. It routes it across its private network.

So, no, it's not against "the whole idea of SSL"; it's what you have decided the idea of SSL is and nobody else on the internet really agrees with.

The amount of disingenuity you're hucking in this thread is pretty gross and you should stop.

Are we that far off? Granted, I was still in high school in 1999, but I fly pretty frequently for work now and while it is different on it's surface, it doesn't feel that different overall.

I think part of that is the fact that the TSA is so bad at their jobs that it feels like a joke going through it. The worst part is that they know that they are a joke -- they freely admit that they miss between 70%-80% of weapons passing through.
I think Facebook has basically reached the “do whatever we can imagine and occasionally apologize if it goes too far” phase.

When software can implement ideas in a short period of time, we need laws that can work even faster. Speed up the process somehow, and “default answer: No”, or something...

Microsoft didn't do much or any work to support PowerPC, actually. It was mostly paid by Motorola, which created a team in Austin to do the port, to be sold for their PowerStack machines:

I remember rumours that Motorola also paid Microsoft money for the privilege of doing all the work.
I haven't had a local branch for my credit union in over 13 years. I get money from any ATM I want and my bank reimburses any fees. My credit union is owned by it's members which doesn't give it perverse incentives to screw ourselves over. I've been able to scan my checks from home since before most big banks had mobile apps. We've gotten emergency loans from them expedited on a Friday afternoon to cover surgeries. Good banking does exist, you just have to take the time to actually look for ones built on values instead of greed.
Language learning subreddit posts one word every hour gains 1000 subs overnight
Each of the whopping 5 instances they use the phrase in are used correctly. The entire document is around 2500-3200 words. I think they could cram a lot more in and still keep it kosher.
If thats the case then the article is very wrong. Its like saying telco providers ask banks for banking data when you receive SMS notifications of transactions or use SMS banking.

However the devil is in the details - and there are a few tricky details here:

- Why would FB be talking to banks about a chat bot integration? Surely the banks can just integrate to FB messenger for business like every other provider. This is pretty standard fare for e-banking as you mention, its been around for years.

- Why is it valuable to them? Their share price climbed. If its a straight out chatbot integration then FB cant benefit much - You cant leverage that. Its not an interface into the bank that facebook itself can use to build services on top of and the users data will be covered by banking privacy regulations. At most it increases user retention a little.

- Then there is the usual tricky language. “We don’t use purchase data from banks or credit card companies for ads” => Then why am I able to target "online shoppers" as a category in an ad campaign?

Overall I think your right though. Even if they are looking at deeper banking connections its all standard with other wallets/platforms like alipay/wechat etc. These platforms are light-years ahead of FB in that respect. They will struggle to catch up in no large part due to the lack of trust after all the privacy issues.
I just bought a few pairs of glasses for my daughter from Zenni a few weeks back. I needed the numbers, but no proof that they came from any kind of doctor.

Congratulations to everyone at InfoWars! They have done such an incredible job, that the lies can't compete any longer and the censorship taking place is just a last resort. Me and all of my colleagues (left of the aisle and to the right) with any of these social media accts will be deleting them, and moving onto other more innovative, true free speech platforms that promote real diversity and tolerance of all viewpoints.
This is nothing recent though. Back in early 2000s I was trying to reproduce published reactions regarding catalysts leading to certain yields, and virtually all published stuff was absolute garbage and could not be reproduced no matter how many times you tried. That makes you wonder what journals actually do: accept articles on good faith only? That is unforgivable in a scientific society.
My assumption that was based on nothing but my own interpretation of the rules was that the facility in its entirety was a sort of need to know type situation. I personally might not have seen anything for all I know if I was given the chance, but the facility itself was part of some blanket policy.

Honestly.... that could be a good policy rather than have a dude leave something out or wrongly classify a building or something.
One of my favorite things about working for Asana is we use Asana for everything internally. So much better than email.
I don't know when it ended in the US but this was doable into the 80's and possibly 90's in Australia (outside of Sydney), even if it was well on track to become not so doable. House prices becoming investment vehicles was the single biggest blow to this. It started getting out of control when the WW2 dead would have been retiring.

HSBC was literally knowingly laundering cartel money and funding mass murder and got a wrist slap for it. Banks literally drove the global economy into a tailspin with greed and the US taxpayer got the privilege of bailing them out and paying bonuses to the executives. Some minimal protections were put in, but even those were too much for them so they're having the Republicans roll them back for them. America is a country that has ceased being a functioning democracy or society based on actual capitalism. It sure is nice to think about the good ol' days though right?

Arguably a misquotation, probably misleading absent the context, and definitely an incomplete quotation.

Speaking narrowly and specifically about the economic crisis and stagflation of the late 70s:

In this present crisis, government is not the solution to our problem; government is the problem. From time to time we've been tempted to believe that society has become too complex to be managed by self-rule, that government by an elite group is superior to government for, by, and of the people.
I ran the kind of mid-sized forum that catered to an active community of posters and a casual community that showed up for topic-related content (i.e. from search engines). But because most of what we were sharing was either links to news elsewhere, or shitposts, there was no reason to keep using the forum once Twitter went mainstream. I think this was probably the case for many similar communities. If you are utterly massive, your forum is probably still alive.

Thank you for taking the time to explain that; I was struggling to understand exactly what a lattice is and isn’t, and your description cemented my understanding.
As an automotive engine mechanic, ive always been fascinated by large building equipment like elevators and escalators.

That having been said, most of the time when large ubiquitous equipment requires periodic maintenance at scheduled intervals, you have more safety involved. large multistory escalators and elevators have numerous moving parts and circuits to lock out/tag out to ensure equipment service is performed safely. The result of a rush-job is always a gruesome headline on the local news.

Theres also extensive testing. Overload/overtorque systems have to be tested, fail-safe certification has to take place, and the device has to run for a given time before its entered back into service. In my job, I wouldnt think to return a heavy truck to a customer before driving it on both city and highway streets to confirm everything I've worked on performs as expected.

The effects of Myc have been tested in many different ways since that study. Just type Myc and transcription into pubmed and you can see for yourself.

I'm not sure what you are trying to achieve by making outlandish comments about cutting funding or jobs programs (the idea that cancer research is a jobs program is utterly hilarious!!), but it doesn't really seem you read my comment.
Not particularly. All you had to do was give a US located address. I'm also assuming (hoping?) the IP was recorded, although using VPNs isn't hard.

Ironically, the democrats (or at least the current people in power and the media) tend to be against any requirement of strong ID when it comes to interacting with the government...

> There was a topic a few months ago about running JavaScript code in ring 0. People used similar arguments to claim it was safe enough. A v8 engineer chimed in to explain the reality of JavaScript engines.

I've worked with SpiderMonkey and have known the team for about a decade now. I'm aware of the complexity :)

> Consider the complexity of JavaScriptCore. Their new-ish "FTL" optimization engine stands for "Fourth Tier LLVM", which means there are at least 4 levels of runtime optimizations JSCore performs on code, which is a lot of non-trivial complexity. And JIT means they cannot utilize no-execute bits in hardware.

FTL is gone, I believe. But anyway, JSC is not just a JIT. If you're worried about the JIT, just use an interpreter.

> Then there is the memory and power-consumption. Lua's footprint for a VM instance is tiny. It is also a very efficient language, even in interpreted form. JavaScriptCore is comparatively heavy in both regards.

JSC uses a hand-written assembly interpreter. I would be shocked if it beat Lua in performance.

> For a core feature, it makes sense to have minimal dependencies with a minimal footprint so plenty of room is left for user applications.

JSC has been shipping since the first version of iOS in 2007. Tons of apps use embedded WebKit already.

> Remember that Apple Watch still does not have Safari and JavaScriptCore is not available for watchOS developers.

This may well be the reason.
Your point regarding the fact that the bots ‘may’ not be adaptive to surprising strategies is a good one. We do not know for sure in the case of OpenAI Five as there are too few public games to look at.

AlphaGo Lee (the version which won 4-1 against Lee Sedol) did seem to get thrown off track by Lee’s surprising move and lost that game.

However, AlphaGo Zero, which is based on some of the same principles/sets of algorithms, were much stronger than AlphaGo Lee (More than 3 stones according to DeepMind. Three stones is about a difference between top pros and top amateurs/beginning pros.) and seemed like it would be insusceptible to any surprises thrown its way from human experts.

The difference was that AlphaGo Lee learned from play records of human Go experts while AlphaGo Zero did not and only learned via self-playing. Dota 2 is clearly more complex than Go but if the same principles apply then an AI trained from pure self-plays would be adaptive to most surprises in the domain, if the system had explored those edge cases before (which depends in turn on how the self-plays were conducted during training).

(As a side note: OpenAI Five probably chose the “simple-minded” snowballing-cheesing strategy because it determined from extensive experience that the strategy is most likely to yield a win given its capabilities (which are advantageous to humans in some respect like instantaneous global information observation, great coordination, consistency, etc). This is very different from the reason some human players choose the strategy. Perhaps precisely because Five bots don’t get sloppy that the strategy is so effective for them.)
I think they wanted to show that the humans could win one

Ah, quite interesting, thanks for that. On one hand, sounds good that the obvious loophole is not wide open, on the other, it smells a bit like self regulation. I guess the next frontier is getting one of these historical DNS records made readily available alongside the CT logs.

Stick to sources that are fact driven instead of being in the business of selling angles and sensationalism.

That excludes: NBC, CBS, ABC, MSNBC, Fox, CNN. None of those consistently avoid pushing an agenda. If you utilize any of them, you have to mentally filter out their heavy propaganda, which is aggressively interlaced with actual news.

I like Reuters (https://www.reuters.com), they overwhelmingly do just straight to the point news reporting instead of cultivating stories to sell to a biased audience. And they offer comprehensive global news coverage.

APNews (https://www.apnews.com) is another decent option. They're more heavy on factual reporting, less on opinion and propaganda. There is still some overt bias you have to filter out with them.

The BBC (http://www.bbc.com) will get you some decent US + global news. They do a better job at factual reporting on US news than The Guardian and other European sources.

So what you do is you write out the stories in blog posts, this builds your audience over time, as long as you're regular generally you'll get a gathering. Then you take all the posts from a year and package them together into a single book so it's only a little more effort on your part, just be honest to your fans what it is. (It's mostly a collection of what's here with better formatting and some pictures. Plus you'll be supporting the blog!!!) Get on a podcast or four, you'll have people asking for you at a certain point, plus you're interesting. Worst case send a pitch to them with your content, you're basically doing a huge part of their work for them. You'll definitely get some offers and money. Best part is you'll be inspiring other people who will live vicariously through you or make some kid feel less alone growing up. Totally guiltless and people will pay you for it.
>> Some diversities are gender driven. Nearly 90% of drawings in which the chain is attached to the front wheel (or both to the front and the rear) were made by females.

It would be more interesting to know what percentage of drawings had the chain attached incorrectly, first- then how many of them were by female participants. If it was just a couple of drawings, there's not much "gender driven diversity" to speak of. Equally for the overcomplicated frames drawn by males, of course.

(Edit: I'm sorry to pick on such an irrelevant detail of this beautiful posting, but at this point anything that seems to allude to stereotypes about females not being comfortable with the function of complex mechanisms, grates; especially if it's using numbers to make a point).
Imagine the government collecting everyone's taxes to put in electricity based on common will, and then once it is hooked up it corrupt politicians say a new unaccountable king gets to decide who gets to plug in. The king has a profit motive, so for the most part you can pay him extra, in addition to the taxes you already paid, to let you plug in. Was inserting that king really a deregulatory step?

Maybe putting some restrictions on the king is just rolling back the implicit restrictions and regulations he exercises over the public inherent in his position that he gained through graft.

Everything that you say here about the FCC could also be applied to other agencies. I think what was going on at the EPA was even worse for the simple fact that their regulations can actually have a positive or negative effect on the lives of the citizens it is responsible. While we as internet addicted citizens feel that the network is important, I think it is lower on the list. Not at all trying to diminish the fight against the FCC. I just think the EPA is even more important.
A real-life consequence for abhorrent behavior? I’m all for that. Maybe not quite that extreme, but I think public shaming of these people and their friends/family is acceptable. They don’t seem to respond to anything else these days.
> Historically sailors were actually quite bad swimmers. The thinking was that any man who fell overboard was basically dead anyway, as the ship was unlikely to be able to turn around and get him before he drifted away

This may be true, but doesn't pass the sniff test. There are many situations with small boats (to and from the shore, other ships) and when the boat is stationary when being overboard would be easily remedied.
Imagine how the kids of today will feel about the lack of internet privacy tomorrow.

Attempting to enforce deregulation is regulation.
That's a mischaracterization of what happened.

Traditional telephone telecoms were always common carriers under Title II, and that applied to internet over dialup during the 90s. When broadband meant that internet connectivity was now being delivered via other medium, the FCC enforced what we now call net neutrality via a lighter regulatory scheme. Verizon ironically sued to get the courts to say that the FCC couldn't enforce the rules in a lighter scheme and therefore had to declare the new internet connectivity infrastructure to be full Title II common carriers to apply any of those rules to them. That court case ended in 2014, and so the FCC followed the court recommendation to apply the rules the were already enforcing.

Long story short: there was never really a time with both consumer internet connectivity and no net neutrality, despite the right wing talking points that this is some new thing.
I was around 12 and got an assembly programming book. It stated that one has to use decent text editor like edlin to write assembly. Well, I went for it and even entered few programs until realizing that under norton’s F3 it is just a regular text file. After a little frustration and experiments with F4 I understood that edlin wasn’t special for editing .asm files. F8 on edlin.exe was the first thing I did afterwards. Or was it edlin.com back then?

Can you point to some computational biology papers from the cancer field that you're reproducing? I'd love to give it a go myself. If you don't mind, can you also contact me (email is in my profile)? Maybe we can collaborate.
I don't know anything about neuropixels (added that Nature paper to my queue), so don't know if they live up to the hype. That said, the standard tool in many electrophysiology experiments are still tetrodes and variants (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tetrode_(biology)), which can at best record a few to several cells at a time, within a small radius of the recording tip. Simultaneously recording from hundreds to thousands of cells in multiple brain areas would probably yield quite a bit of valuable data.

Also, non-invasive techniques like fMRI (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Functional_magnetic_resonance_...) tend to have relatively poor spatial resolution, and track signals that correlate with neural activity (e.g., blood flow) rather than actual electrical activity. Since nearby neurons do not always encode the same information or perform the same function, a spatially-averaged signal isn't going to be as informative.
