That's not a DFSM. DFSMs can't have ε-transitions. You need at least an ε-NFA for that.

I think you also need to have at least one transition for every symbol in the alphabet from every state for it to be a valid ε-NFA, and then it can be reduced to a DFSM, giving it a bounded running time.

Americans make the mistake because there are major things named Columbia here, including a major river, the C in Washinton, DC, an Ivy League university, a state capitol, the C in CBS, a record label, a movie studio, a space shuttle that tragically exploded, and many more that I'm sure the Wikipedia page lists (I only typed out those I knew of off the top of my head).

The misspelling of the country is a pet peeve of mine as well, but I don't think it's confusing why people make it - they simply think it's spelled the same way as all of the other Columbia's they read about.
Given the leaps and bounds of development in this area recently, I wouldn't call HackRF a go-to device anymore (compared to the more recent devices) but yes- any of them totally would be able to pick this up.

"It was individual employees who violated the agreement"

How do you know this? Facebook invested well over a hundred million dollars into this particular app, I would have to hear some very compelling arguments to see this episode as "misconduct of individual employees".

That being said I agree with the stance on thinking before doing, it's just that I don't believe that Facebooks operational conduct is rooted in individual employees, but rather in their company culture, values and leadership.
yeah, I guess it's almost like the EU is cutting off its nose to spite its face.
As a consumer I don't corporations outsourcing manufacturing to China and then bringing back crap, charging me full price and keeping the difference.

As a patriot I'd rather pay higher price for domestically made products and know that our local workers made it.

There is a balance of course between killing imports and selling country short and flooding it with crap - but certainly China was having a party paid by north american consumers for last 3 decades.
It was impossible for Facebook once upon a time too... until it wasn't. Once upon a time Mark Zuckerberg was just an idiot with an idea, and here's where we ended up.
The recommendation to only wipe the first and last part of the drive before reusing them is inadequate. You're best off wiping the entire drive with either zeros or hdparm security-erase-enhanced. The reason is that not all metadata is kept just at the beginning or end of the drive, especially if you have multiple partitions in the drive.

If that is untenable, mdadm has an option --zero-superblock, lvm has pvremove, and wipefs will remove file system signatures, which you can run before changing the storage layout.

Yep, Blu-rays can store something like 25GB per layer; industry standard for movies is dual layer (50GB).

Rips can achieve comparable quality with lower bitrate than used on the original disk. Blu-ray dates to 2006 and (typically) uses inefficient high bit-rate H.262 ("MPEG 2", which DVDs used), H.264 (AVC), or VC-1.

Rips can use high-efficiency H.265 ("HEVC"). Typical for a 1080p H.265 encoding is 9-15 GB. (Lower for animated films.)

UHD Blu-rays do use the more efficient H.265 already, but are much higher resolution as well. I'm not sure how prevalent they are.

Before anyone says it, if construction costs increased because laborers were paid more, it would not make housing more expensive. It would make land less expensive. This would be good for everyone except the arisotocrat.
I am genuinely surprised that so many people were upset enough about the US' exclusion from a top 10 most whatever whatevers article that they felt the need to rant about it in the comments.

>Just say that differences are in 99% shaped by environment and you are fine

You can find flaws and inconsistencies in their logic easily though. People have no issue with saying that height is genetic for example. Even racially, it's ok to say Asians are on average shorter than Africans

But imply intelligence is genetic, and now there are issues. For some reason we are told that evolution and genetics stop at a human's neck

My question is that if intelligence isn't genetic, why doesn't somebody teach a dog, or cat, or bacteria how to do quantum mechanics? Surely it's just environment right?

Argentinian Spanish (or Castellano as it is proudly called) is pretty unique but there's absolutely no issues communicating from any other Spanish speaking nation.

the issue is the same across all Spanish dialects, each country has unique words and phrases (the word for pineapple is different here vs. rest of Spanish speaking world, one of many examples) and occasionally slightly distinct grammar (e.g. voseo).

people are generally able to quickly infer that other Spanish speakers are not native due to accents and vocabulary/grammar. if you're American, think about how you'd react if you heard someone say "mate" in a foreign accent: you'd know they weren't American but may be British, Australian, New Zealander, ... (??)
Beyond mass scale industrial espionage though, what options does the US realistically have if third party countries/trading blocs create a mechanism to hide the trade? Are they going to sanction the EU? Be interesting to see that one play out. It could basically end up with America blacklisting every country outside the US, thus ending up with itself as its only trading partner..
Yeah, but that's not Racket (technically, the first one is, but it overrides the reader; the second is a Python-based transpiler of some syntax into S-exps) - it won't help someone new to the language, if only because it adds yet another dependency and mental conversion to keep in mind when reading examples and such. They're there if you want them, though.
My takeaway from talk is basically "go slower". He points out that history can be a good guide. In academic fields you need to get IRB approval for human subjects. A similar system might make sense for models applied to people, for example the system used for sentencing prisoners probably should have some kind of third party oversight.
What is interesting is how certain techniques in warfare are conserved. Reading about how a concrete wall was constructed to hem in the opposing forces and force their capitulation in 2008, brought to my mind the Battle of Alesia in 52 BC by Julius Caesar (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Alesia).

In that battle, as in the battle for Sadr City, the Romans were constrained from a direct assault on the city. The Romans built a wall surrounding the city, cutting off the enemy from supplies. Eventually, the Celtic warriors inside the city were forced to try to attack the Roman wall and were defeated (as was a relieving force trying to attack the Romans from the other side). The Celtic leader Vercingetorix surrendered (he was taken to Rome as a prisoner and eventually strangled), and this cemented Julius Caesar's reputation as a brilliant commander.

That these two battles separated by over 2000 years and with completely different weaponry, still share the same basic plot, is to my mind amazing.
>What makes you think males get to select a mate

We're not talking about insects, or birds, we're talking about human beings. Humans don't select mates, we select partners with whom we may or may not mate, and the process of selection is social, mutual and complex.
> When we move to a more universal collection of the data in a structured format that can then be used to further train the model, you actually end up with a better representation.

I'm not sure how that's true. Access to products and services that do this kind of collection is very much a class issue. Poor people, especially in the US, can't afford regular physicals nor personal health trackers like a fitbit. Additionally, personal health technologies with the best, most accurate data are the most expensive ones - e.g. Apple Watch vs. generic fitness band.

If we lived in a world where class was separate from race or gender, you might be correct. But that's not the case.

Petit nets in general are a great tool for managing concurrency. My university’s concurrent programming course used a fairly limited tool called LTSA to model concurrent systems, and that was a great little tool for designing and reasoning about concurrent systems.

Biggest limitation was the lack of code gen - it can prove things about a concurrent system (completion, deadlock feee, global operation ordering etc) but that was only accurate if the coded implementation had identical semantics.

One wonders what actually would effect change on the part of Facebook. Clearly the market doesn't care about the ethical lapses beyond the major initial headlines.

The truth is that Facebook wouldn't be able to get away with a lot this if they didn't have an incredibly talented engineering division. And even though most individuals aren't making these terrible decisions, they definitely support them through their work.

If Facebook becomes an unattractive destination due to the social cost of working there, that might bring about change.

I don't think that's the parents point, but instead that inside the "blob" Facebook individuals have made the decisions, and bear direct responsibility for what happened. "Company culture" doesn't absolve the individual.

> It's not the countries of the European Union's job to care about their historic ally...

It's not the EU's job.

The EU's priority is its members' interests. As you rightly point out, those interests are probably not well served by alienating the UK.

But that by no means implies that the EU shouldn't be seeking the best possible deal for the EU that the UK will put up with.

> No, the behavior of the EU does not align with the interests of its member states, that is the truth. As with Greece, so now with the UK. Crushed by unaccountable committee.

Interesting argument. Scotland voted overwhelmingly to remain in the EU. The behaviour of the UK doesn't align with the interests of Scotland. I assume you believe Scotland should therefore be allowed to leave the UK?

Plot Twist Movies – 1.1 Released
Well, for one, hard drives also fail. So I need backups, unless I want to have to sit and re-rip everything when it happens. I'm a big fan of RAID 1 since I don't have horrific rebuilds, and I offsite my data as well. (Most of my data is stored on five hard drives currently.) So take your estimate drive costs and start multiplying.

Second, my Vudu library contains over 600 movies and significantly more television shows than that. And before you calculate the cost of the storage, bear in mind there's another, secondary cost: The much higher cost I'd have spent to have built that library solely on ripped discs. I never paid full price for a digital purchase. (And specifically, never more than it would've cost to acquire it via disc.)

Third, time. I'm also significantly backlogged in organizing my ebooks, which I do store on drives. Blu-ray ripping time just isn't something I want to dedicate a big chunk of my life to.
I've been planning on buying HackRF in the coming months so I'm wondering what better devices are there. Do you recommend another SDR device instead?

Oh sorry ya I went off the deep end a bit.

What I was trying to get at is that (IMHO) somehow the FP and DP paradigm has a huge blind spot when it comes to tackling the problems that IP solves handily. These are the problems that mostly involve integrating with the outside world - things like mutating state, exceptional situations, side effects etc.

Sure FP can largely avoid them via strong type handling and categories etc, but I've rarely seen good explanations of how to REALLY do something that programmers like to do, like write video games and social media feeds (things which the parent poster alluded to).

It's easy to visualize FP as a spreadsheet where the inputs generate a certain output. It's even straightforward to visualize how FP and IP are equivalent:

https://cs.stackexchange.com/questions/44305/why-are-functio...

https://cstheory.stackexchange.com/questions/625/relationshi...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Church–Turing_thesis

But I'm not convinced that pure functional programming can handle the simplest thing like new input without suspending execution or via a device like a monad. I also wonder if using those things makes functional programming impure. Which would make pure functional programming a fantasy..

This is maybe just a misunderstanding on my part since I haven't actually written much FP since learning Scheme back in the 90s. I'm all ears if you or anyone else knows of any articles exploring these issues.
This isn't true, but Cloud Spanner is awesome too!

Comparing it to the history of other companies, it might seem like a less likely explanation, but I'll give it a shot: Deepak Ahuja came out of retirement after the departure or Jason Wheeler, during a critical part of the company's history.

Cash flow was critical during this period, so it made sense to choose a CFO who both has a long history with the company and was able to take over on short notice. Now that Ahuja returns to retirement, Tesla figures it's better to hire an insider than get someone with external experience, given how many external executives they're losing after a short time.

In this scenario, the executive departures are taken at face value, namely that Tesla is such a chaotic and stressful environment that it's a bad match for many executives who thrive in other companies.
Movies would come with UltraViolet codes, which you would enter into the website, and then you would be able to watch the movies on linked retailers (mainly Vudu). It's largely been replaced by Movies Anywhere, which Disney spearheaded and has much larger participation than UltraViolet.

Kind of how our laws in real life are written with the intention of projecting that they're for one thing, but when it comes down to it, they're often intentionally perverted for the purpose of malevolence. The consequences aren't all that surprising given the character of those charged with enforcing said laws.
Absolutely those are assumptions - hence my first sentence. That's still more reliable than trusting Google, about whom we don't need to make assumptions.

Another assumption I make is that I don't expect then to seriously displace Google any time soon,but rather remain a player that fills the niche of private search. If that ever appears to change, we can always adapt - let's not make perfect the enemy of the good :-)

I hate DRM and think it's a pernicious evil. I boycott DRM-ed media, with rare exceptions in cases where I can rip/re-encode and one vendor holds a monopoly.

That said, while the impact of DRM is a huge reduction in personal freedom, I don't think it's accurate or fair to say:

> DRM schemes are designed to take away your fair and lawful rights as a participant in the media ecosystem.

They are designed to protect the copyright holder from infringement in the form of illegal sharing. They just don't care enough about the impact on users to counteract their desire to fight "piracy."
