I don't know any normal user who would think twice about clicking "Yes" on a prompt like that when they're trying to install a program they just downloaded. There are plenty of legitimate programs that don't have a signature, and plenty of malicious programs that do.
This has negative implications for security. For instance, one reason why DNS resolvers might block or modify requests is to blacklist domains used for malware operation (botnet C&C domains). Other things like DNS sinkholing and poisoning are also frequently used as tools to disrupt malware communication.

In addition, collection and analysis of below-the-recursive DNS traffic is one of the primary ways in which security researchers discover the infrastructure of botnet networks.

Overall DoH is probably a net positive, but I don't see downsides like this being discussed.

How to Create an Index in Django Without Downtime
Interestingly, chatting with a physical passenger in the car is an entirely different level of distraction, from trying to chat with someone you can't see on the other end of the phone. For some reason (invoking visual synthesis to imagine how they are responding?) the phone case takes quite a bit more mental effort.

Try putting 'blinders' on when talking to a passenger and driving normally. E.g. put a hand up so you can't see them, even out of the corner of your eye. This A/B test (for me anyway) ups the mental effort 2X or more.

Can you dig into that more and explain why it is so difficult to compare wealth across centuries? It would seem to me that you would just find some basic unit to divide against (a dozen eggs; a liter of milk; a sq kilometer of land), and then scale?

>One seminal JASON study examined the lifetime of plutonium "pits" - the fissile material cores of nuclear weapons. The US stopped making pits in 1989 when the FBI & EPA shut down the production plant for rampant environmental damage. JASON was asked to assess how long pits last.

>JASON concluded that, with reasoned stewardship, pits would last at least 85-100 years & perhaps longer. This was far longer than previous estimates of 40-60 years. It significantly increased confidence in the US nuclear stockpile. https://fas.org/irp/agency/dod/jason/pit.pdf …

>But that study was done back in 2006. Now the Department of Energy is seeking to start making more pits again, arguing that it must begin now because it will take decades to replace all the current pits at the planned production rate of 80 per year.

>But remember that "at least 85-100 years" above? Congress has sensibly asked JASON to look at the issue again, 13 years later. Scientific techniques that artificially age plutonium provide even more data. However, I'm told that DOE is dragging their feet on finalizing the study.

So, if I knew ahead of time what your price was going to be tomorrow, I would have a clear arbitrage strategy. But that's not a fair example. The question is: what do I know at t=0 about what your price could be at t=1?

A better example is this: suppose you're creating a probabilistic forecast of the chance of a coin coming up Heads twice. Suppose this represents a win. You say, "according to my model, P[H1 and H2] = 0.3." And suppose you also say P[H1] = 0.4

Then I ask you: imagining the first flip comes up Heads, what will your price for the second Heads be then? The only arbitrage-free price you can quote me is your conditional probability: P[H2 | H1] = P[H1 and H2]/P[H1] = 0.75. Anything else allows me to buy and sell bets and make a riskless profit.

Now, note that if H1 occurs, P[H2 | H1] is now the updated chance of getting H1 and H2. You observed some information and updated your probability accordingly. Also note that according to your model, the chance of H1 happening was 0.4, so the possible prices of "H1 and H2" after one coin flip were 0.75 with probability 0.4 and 0 with probability 0.6 (if the first flip were tails, "H1 and H2" is impossible). So the expected price of "H1 and H2" after one flip is (.75)(.4) + (0)(.6) = 0.3, which is also your price at t=0. That means the probability/price is a martingale according to your probability assignments, which, according to the Fundamental Theorem of Asset Pricing, again means no arbitrage is possible, unless we disagree on what events have probability zero.

So, the election forecasts are like this except we don't get to see all the inner workings. Nate doesn't quote things like the probability of the polls moving by a certain amount each day. We just get to see things like P[H1 and H2] before and after the first coin flip. But as long as it's possible that those come from a consistent set of conditional probabilities and Bayesian updating, there's no chance for arbitrage.

I hate how Tesla advertises Model 3 as a 35k$ car. In Germany, the cheapest, bare bone version of it is around 60 000 (53k euro). At this price point, it doesn't make much sense, it's just better to get a car like Merc E Class.
The tax is based on litres and type of beer [1] but it does in fact work out to be around 45% for something like Coors Light. There's a lower tax for draft beer, and a lower tax for microbreweries.

The average Canadian apparently drinks about 79L per year [2] (which is 230 bottles a year, or 4.5 bottles a week), and this works out to between $28.40 and $70.89 in tax (depending on what you drink). For perspective, if that was all bottles of Coors Light, that is going to cost about $376 total (of which about $70 is tax). If it's all microbrew draft, you're probably going to spend a lot more overall but only pay $28.40 in tax.

Personally I don't see this is a major burden. If the money doesn't come from an alcohol tax, it comes from somewhere else (either in cuts to services, or increases in other taxes). Even if you want to argue "less taxes" (and less services) should be the goal, I'd still rather prioritize the tax cuts on income taxes, or general sales tax -- "sin" taxes would be the lowest priority taxes I think should be reduced, since drinking is not an essential activity (in the way buying food is) and for average or below levels of drinking it's a pretty minimal burden (especially compared to the amount of income tax most people pay).

> I am getting fed up with Google trying to steer how the web should be. Already changed to Firefox.

I second this. Their market share affords them far too much luxury with not nearly enough impartial oversight.

> I dont understand why they are doing this.

I do understand why they're doing this. Me and you are smart enough to know to only trust a download from a secure connection. Others don't. I've fixed two computers THIS MONTH from people who opened email attachments and then proceeded to click past all of the Office security warnings. Both of them were Kovter droppers. The average user doesn't know what the padlock means, and if you hid a non secure download behind an https redirect they wouldn't even know.

Another story, just last week, my town of 9k people has a "social network" based on dotNetNuke on some sketchy shared/co-hosted server without HTTPS. They tried to spam their network on a local FB group recently and they don't even have an SSL cert. Still, the sheer volume of idiots who visited and posted comments like "there's a bug, I can't create an account" or "just signed up!" was disgusting. I posted a stark warning and chewed out the spammer for not taking the 10 minutes to get a free SSL cert, which was when I learned of their sketchy hosting situation.

So you see, not only do regular users not know what their looking at on the internet; other web developers also have no idea and don't really care. They insisted to me they have their own security measures which negate the liablity of not encrypting traffic; to which I responded that I could setup a fake AP at the local coffee shop and start stealing passwords if he didn't beleive me. The post was deleted after that, but most of the country bumpkins in my town stood BEHIND HIM!!! They thought I was being mean to a local business.

The boogey-man can't sneak up on us, but many people are just going through life and need someone to watch their back digitally. Besides, the only time you initiate a non-secure download of an application from a secure connection is when you've injected payload fetching code into an XSS vulnerability. I can see literally no other use-case unless the developer is an idiot (see paragraph 3).
Daubechies has done some really cool work in math. She's probably best known in math for work in wavelet/image compression/signal processing and inverse problems.

Here's an abstract for a talk that gives you a better idea of related work of hers bearing on both evolution/biology and art: https://www.ece.uw.edu/lytle/2012-ingrid-daubechies-lytle/ Apparently this work on distance metrics can be applied to work backward from "mathematical distance between teeth" to "what did extinct animals eat?".

It's interesting to watch her expand from traditional applied math (analysis) to increasing interaction with machine learning techniques. She's doing a lot with neural nets now, bringing this understanding of geometry and analysis to try to (for instance) reduce 'memorization' by neural nets and instead increase pattern recognition.
Slashdot effect
The collecting time is important, but mainly to 1) sample the rotation of the Earth in the Fourier space for better angular resolution and 2) for raising your overall signal-to-noise ratio is the image (but the one released is already pretty good, so not much improvement can be done there unless you're trying to go for the faint features in the image).

Unfortunately, you can only do interferometry with simultaneous measurements (we need information about the difference in the phase of light hitting the receiving antennas), so the motion of Earth around the Sun is largely irrelevant, unless you can park another antenna at a trailing orbit (see space VLBI for that).

What you're thinking of is probably parallax measurements of distance - that's how missions like Gaia can pinpoint distances to stars in Milky Way (and some in its satellites as well).

Yes, we're using a telescope the size of the Earth to look at an object the size of our solar system in a galaxy about 55 million light years away. It's an infinitesimally small patch of sky.

On the other hand, the jet from the M87 black hole is quite large and we have good images of it. It's even resolvable by amateurs, I hope to take a picture of it over Easter with a small telescope.

Have a look at the papers listed at the bottom of https://iopscience.iop.org/journal/2041-8205/page/Focus_on_E... .

Keep in mind that a lot of the details will NOT be in those papers as they have used CASA and AIPS, two standard software tools that have been developed over more than a decade. Details are consequently scattered over many papers. Radio interferometry is not new and there is entire textbooks on the subject. The exiting bit here is not that we go a first image from interferometry but that we have a first image of the region just around a black hole.
If that doesn't work, and you either don't look up often or you don't mind a little ugliness, I've found running cable along the tops of walls near the ceiling works pretty well, and is easy to do. Here's part of my home network cable run and also part of the speaker cable run for the right rear surround sound channel [1].

Where a cable needs to make a turn to follow a corner, I screw in a cup hook. For support along a straight section of wall I nail a wire nail partly in and hang the cable on the protruding part.

I just checked a couple of the routes I have planned for this year, and there are supercharger points sufficiently close on them. They would add minor detours or alternative routes - for example heading to northern England would require taking the M1 rather than the A1, but it seems do-able. Maybe in a couple of years if I trade in my current car...
Gah, don't do that if you value your RF spectrum. Those types of devices should be banned as they turn the untwisted electrical lines in your house into a giant set it antennas.

GAN images are, I think, as far as humans go, pretty creative. It's easy to look at them knowing what they are and dismiss them (especially if you focus on the worst samples), but if you didn't know...

One of the things that has most amused me about creating https://www.thiswaifudoesnotexist.net is watching the reactions to images being posted elsewhere, especially without (initial) attribution: not a few people like the faces enough to request info about the character or artist, or say that it looks a bit machine-learning-like but is obviously too good to actually be ML-generated, or compliment OP on their illustration! People have begun casually using them as avatars, and there's one account on Pixiv for just uploading TWDNE or other faces generated by my StyleGAN models.

I was lucky to join a now unicorn as one of the first few dozen employees a few years ago. I forward exercised with a few thousand out of pocket (section 83b) an equity grant now worth around $1.5m. Because I forward exercised my options at a low valuation I didn't have to worry about paying taxes if I exercised at a later time when the company's valuation grew. It also meant that my gains became long-term capital gains, and thus taxed lower, as soon as possible after I vested each month.

True, but let's say I start an apple reseller and want store.apple.

You are technically right, but only because I expressed myself very poorly.

The CPU is naturally still able to do 32 bit calculations.

What you can't do is run a 32 bit application without emulation after a 64 bit system has booted.

The libraries are obviously also required, but it still won't be able to start without the emulation adding 0 to the memory blocks.

I graduated from the program in December. Overall, the program was absolutely worth it for me. Based on my experience I'd say that the online program isn't quite at the same level of instruction quality as an equivalent in-person program simply due to the number of students in each class. However, for me personally the lack of cost (both real cost and opportunity cost from lost work years when pursuing a fulltime MS) more than made up for it.

I haven't interviewed or applied for jobs since graduating, but it's worth noting that the degree itself is the same as the one awarded in-person. If you get involved in the community, the network is also surprisingly good; the slack channel has hundreds of students at all sorts of places.
I was admitted to the program in the pilot cohort in 2014 and graduated in 2016. I left my civil service job as a mechanical engineer with the DoD 3 months later to take a job in SV, and I just started a new job two weeks ago at a FAANG company as an ML Engineer. I think having an MSCS from GT helped me get here.

I don’t know if my experience is considered typical. I worked as a TA in the algorithms course and then in Computational Photography while I was there. The algorithms professor was actually how I found the SV job I moved here for. I’ve seen it mentioned elsewhere already, but I can confirm that TAs run most classes—but it’s also worth pointing out that TAs in OMSCS are often comically overqualified, and 90% of the work in running a course is logistics (due dates, extensions, grading, etc.).

I think it’s as valuable as a resident program if you can’t justify leaving your current job or taking on debt to finance an advanced degree. Just make sure you try to learn everything you can while you’re in it.
Yeah, that's just not a great TLD. No one will know what it means. .amazon is much better and it's obvious why they would want that one more.
The First Law of Digital Innovation
I can visualize things things well, but I'm aware that whatever representation I create isn't that accurate.

Like, I can't remember the details of every scene Catcher in the Rye, I can't recreate all of the notes of Freebird despite having listened to it a number of times, I and don't know the exact structure of a bicycle despite having seen and used them.

But I can still vividly "see" a bicycle despite this. It's more like my mind creates what it believes is a convincing bicycle based upon its most prominent characteristics. I can "see" it right now, gliding through a park (without a rider on top for some reason).

Perhaps if I were a bicycle mechanic, I'd be able to create a more accurate visual representation just because I'd be more familiar with the details.
