>Will the solution to this, then, be to have some sort of "smart card enabled device"? For example, assuming TOFU, you manually accept all device's public keys (and all devices, including cables and stuff will have one of these). Then, the computer will have to verify all actions done by those devices by sending a challenge for each action.

Even that's not enough. If you're feeling extra-evil you could tamper with the keyboard switches/traces to do whatever evil stuff you want. It's not like you can authenticate the on/off state at a switch level.

This is actually what I work on.

The umbrella term you’re looking for is transcranial electrical stimulation, or tES. It is also called tACS (AC for alternating current), tDCS (for direct current), or tRNS (for random noise), depending on what type of electricity is being used. In most cases, conductive electrodes are placed on the head and a weak current is passed between them. This is thought to generate an electric field that polarizes the neurons between them and interacts with the cells’ on-going electrical activity.

The idea itself is very old: someone in 46 AD apparently cured headaches by applying electric fish to their foreheads. It’s been rediscovered a few times since then, and there’s been a huge boom since about 2000, with people trying it for everything under the sun in both healthy people and a wide variety of patients, with a lot of hype.

Despite that, it’s still unclear how it works, or indeed if it works at all. The electric field that reaches your brain is rather weak—-the skin and skull shunt away a lot of the current. A lot of the human experiments are not the greatest (small sample size, strange methodological problems) and there has been some concern that many of the effects either aren’t real or are due to confounds (e.g., placebo effects, or changes in attention/motivation due to the tingling sensation it causes on the scalp), and there’s been a lot of “counter-hype” about how the whole thing is bunk.

I am fairly certain it does something, though it needs to be applied (and evaluated) carefully. Over the last few years, I—-and some awesome collaborators—-have been recording neural activity from monkeys receving tES. We find neural effects at multiple levels ranging from single cells to long-range functional connectivity, along with effects on the animals’ behavior. We’ve got a few papers here: http://packlab.mcgill.ca/publications.html (look for my name; the lab does a lot of different things). There’s a lot more to be done though.....
Even in death, a patient that exhausts every option can provide medical data for future treatments. Their struggle is not futile just because they died.

And I don't believe we can ever be sure that the odds of death are 100%. Where there's life, there's always hope.

How can it be called fair at all when only the rich get first pick?

> If domains were cheap right away, bots would buy all them up.

No. Bots would buy them all up if bots were allowed to buy them all up. It's laughably easy to prevent bots from buying domain names if you don't want bots to buy domain names.

> This gives people the chance to buy a domain

This gives rich people/businesses the chance to buy a domain.

> future rounds in the hundred of dollars will be better for the average person.

After the rich have had their pick. Again, I don't see how you can with a straight face call this fair.

Here's a suggestion: Offer domains to all humans who can pay a reasonable non-refundable application fee. Block bots. When a domain receives more than one offer, randomly assign it to an applicant. Block domain transfers permanently to prevent squatters. Let any domain that isn't renewed fall back into the pool and become available (again to a randomly assigned new owner).

I'm sure there are pitfalls doing it this way, but it took me a minute to come up with that. A few hours of thought, some robust debate, and I'm certain we can come up with a fairer way to assign domain names.
> You're just confusing the map for the territory.

I am not at all! We do math with symbols and diagrams, but those symbols and diagrams are about something: they are maps, and there is a territory that they are about. When I say "math", I include the concepts, not just the symbolic, graphical and other representations.

So what I'm saying is that if/when mathematics provides a complete map to that territory which is "the world", that territory must then be made of exactly the same stuff as other described-by-math territory-entities like "ellipse", "pi", "finite field", "Hilbert space", ... the map of mathematics doesn't describe any other kind of territory.

I'm not saying that the symbols and pictures used to carry out math (the "maps") are the world.

> you will never find a complete description of the entire universe that fits in a network of human brains

The description of the state of it as it is before us is monstrously large, but the initial conditions and rules might not be. E.g. the Mandelbrot set is just iterating on z^2 + c for various c. To describe isn't necessarily to evaluate.

Both of those numbers are possible, but much higher than average by my estimation. Glassdoor says average ~$111k for software engineering as a whole[0]. A more realistic expectation for a 'good' compensation package would be ~$80-95k for junior engineer and ~$180-250k for senior. Obviously there are many factors to account for, and both those numbers can vary widely, but the ones you gave are not what one should be expecting outside of a very select few 'elite' companies, and even then they are on the high end.

PPIO Testnet Release – PPIO CLI/SDK, Demo DApp Now Available to Download
We are also a project related to cloud storage, with a slight difference that we are a distributed cloud storage project based on blockchain. At present, the project (PPIO) has been open source, in a sense, it is the equivalent of ali cloud and AWS under the block chain technology. The blockchain consensus algorithm and various proofs will incentivize home miners to provide idle bandwidth and storage resources, which will enable our systems to be cheaper than AWS. At the same time, through the characteristics of P2P decentralization, can store content security and privacy protection, we believe that the future of data privacy is very important, and the solutions to solve these problems can only be done through decentralized way, PPIO will revolve around privacy, cheap and safe to build a decentralized chain block cloud storage system.

At present, the PPIO project is still in its early stage. At present, only Testnet, PPIO SDK/CLI and network disk application Demo developed based on PPIO have been online. You can also try out and experience our "products".

Future blockchain cloud storage system road, we hope to have your attention and join.

Uranium ore is mostly alpha particle radiation. Clothing and aluminum foil are generally sufficient to block alpha particle radiation. Uranium metal can be up 28% beta particle, which can be blocked by sandbags or a thick brick wall. Depleted uranium contains almost no beta particle radiation. Uranium ore lacks the purity of uranium metal and usually more beta particles than depleted unranium but not much more though it’s purity and composition are naturally variant.

Because of that uranium is radioactive and that radioactivity is harmful, but is not the primary harm, unless you are allergic to uranium at which point the radiation is the primary harm. Also, sensitivity to radiation varies wildly by person. Uranium is a high density metal that has some dissolution capability into water, like lead, which means heavy metal poisoning. Uranium is more dense than lead and thus more poisonous but less poisonous than osmium. Under certain conditions uranium can be (or become) very brittle and break apart into a fine dust that can be respirated.

The notion seems to be the alternative to LNT is "radiation is not as bad at low doses as LNT". But there are many alternatives, all consistent with the evidence, and some would have the effect at low doses be worse.

> does tend to cluster in families.

Yes but not necessarily at the sibling level, which is what you'd expect if this was a problem caused by bad mothers.

Also, you would predict that siblings should be highly correlated regardless of their genes if it was "mothering" but instead what you find is this (from the study you cited):

Monozygotic Twins 44.3

Offspring two schizophrenic parents 36.6

Dizygotic Twins 12.1

Siblings 7.3

Offspring one schizophrenic parent 9.4

Half-siblings 2.9

So a half-sibling raised with the same parenting is barely correlated on schizophrenia, but a twin has a 44 percent correlation. That puts the schizophrenogenic mother theory 100% off the reservation in my book. Reasoning past that damning fact is just wishful thinking.

> I don't see how this theory conflicts with whatever

The average age of onset is 18 in men and 25 in women. If this disordered thinking style is created in say 6 year olds, it seems odd that it takes 12-20 years to cause a problem.

Anyhow theories are a dime a dozen, and the burden of proof is on those proposing the theory to prove it, and that has failed rather spectacularly in this case.

fMRIs use a crazy strong magnetic field—typically >= 3 Tesla. The signal that is measured is not electrical but rather the blood oxygen level. Effectively, this is a correlate of the metabolic expenditure of nearby neurons. Wass it is also like a low-pass filter except here it’s more like 0.5 Hz or slower.

Trying to change things might be an acceptable strategy in other industries, but I don't think it works in technology because the accepted method of achieving worker/workplace fit is to change jobs. This goes not only for bad management but also for raises (even if you like your current job).

Easiest way to improve your situation in software engineering is to just get a better job and move laterally or up.

Monylo – Don't Get Scammed with Travel Money Again
Hey guys!

Here is my new app called monylo.

Monylo was created to keep people safe and organized during their travels. Because not knowing which notes and coins are used in the country that you’re visiting might cause you a lot of troubles. So I wanted people to be well aware of the local currency of their destination before they visit an unknown country!

That’s why monylo is here. It saves your time, money and protects you from scams.

Checking local currency and current rates has never been easier!

Stay safe. Enjoy your travels. Use and share monylo! ️

Thank you everyone for your feedback.

If I took up soccer, I'd be unlikely to join a team with some 8 year olds - even though I'd probably be at their skill level. Instead, I'd find a group of people who I'd get along with better. So why do games do matchmaking based only on skill, not taking social cohesion into account? There's much more to a good gaming experience than just having skill-balanced teams.

CS:GO is a classic case of this - the player base is noticeably more mature at certain times of day, and there's a distinct period when all the kids have just got home from school where things are particularly bad. Occasionally you'll get a team where you everyone works together well, but to have that every time you'll need to spend a lot of effort maintaining a huge friends list in order to be able to put a team together at any given time - rather than just pressing the matchmaking button.

(I think you could might get decent results on this by having each player rate the others at the end of the match - but you don't use the ratings to rank the players, instead you'd use them to cluster players based on who they mutually like to play with. You'd then use that as a variable to optimize on when doing matchmaking. Hopefully with enough data you'd be able to predict if players would have a good experience even if they've never played together before.)
That's what I mean. If I had played with any, they may have not been active in voice chat. In OW, it's not uncommon for me to hear women players.

I just feel like it's a bit ridiculous to downplay the environmental impacts of bitcoin mining by saying "it'll be fine when we have fusion!" because we don't have fusion today, and it's likely to be a very long time before fusion is commercially available.

Also, your initial comment said:

>By the way, the negative environmental impacts will be significantly reduced after ITER is ready.

ITER is not a commercial reactor. Even after it's construction is completed (expected to be, what, 2025?), we still have a long way to go before you can use fusion power to mine bitcoin.

Meanwhile, climate change is happening now. We need to be reducing emissions now.
