That isn’t really true. Dimension isn’t so well defined in topology but is reasonably straightforward with a manifold. The article also touched on geometry (sum of angles of a triangle). To be topological a bunch of things must change. The bug walking example doesn’t work and is demoted to an analogy. All notion of distance and direction is lost. If the article were about topology then it would probably be talking about distinguishing shapes by homotopy/homology rather than lines and walks and angles.

The article also gets some details a bit wrong/fuzzy: it says you can tell if you are on a sphere by walking in a straight line infinitely far and seeing if you ever cross yourself. But this property also follows on the surface of a (rounded at the top) cone. Even if you require this property in all directions you get problems on eg a torus.

I think not touching strangers isn't really gonna pinch anyone's lifestyle real hard.

>The crazy wages that tech companies pay aren't a data point? One of my co-op student got offered a position in the States with starting salary north of $120k

Why is $120K a "crazy wage"? Perhaps labor in general, and particularly highly specialized labor, is underpaid across the board. It's not uncommon for traders or investment bankers to earn 7 or even 8 figures yet I don't hear anyone claiming there's a shortage of speculators and financiers. We just seem to have this built in cognitive bias that doctors, lawyers, and bankers are "supposed to" be highly paid but that it's somehow a "problem to be solved" for engineers and scientists to be paid similarly.
> “The effects are pretty amazing,” Dr. Soeter said. “Everything is treatable. It’s almost too good to be true, but these are our findings.”

Honestly yes. And it even sounds a bit scary, to me, that a drug that is very un-selective produces such a selective effect (erasing a specific kind of memory under very specific conditions). It sounds a little bit like striking a welding arc a couple times in just the right way next to a computer to flip a few specific bits in it's main memory -- absolutely astounding that it works, but who knows what else happened in there?

That being said I very much hope that this turns out to not produce {short,long}-term damage, because anxiety orders are very difficult to treat and are a huge waste of human ability.

Want to solve the tax-avoidance problem? Stop taxing income - tax spending. Jealousy over other peoples incomes, fairly or unfairly gained, will never result in a fair system for all, and this is the basis of income tax - whereas taxing people for spending will result in us all contributing taxes to society fairly.
Machine learning has been applicable to businesses since the late 90's and early 00's (e.g. recommendation engines, basic speech recognition for people with special needs) and existed as a research field decades earlier.

The star researchers who command top compensation in the field today often have over a decade of experience.

I agree that a much larger pool of graduates might dampen average compensation in the future somewhat. A key distinguishing feature of these more complex skills (relative to HTML, etc) is that much fewer percentage of people are capable of mastering them, and it takes longer commitment as well.

Relative to pure physics and biology, the applications are much broader and thus better prospects for the experts.

The market colluded to drive wages down, screams at the top of their lungs about shortages to get wages down, it tried to scare people to talk about wages to drive wages down, it tells lies about unions to drive wages down. Market rate means absolutely nothing about real value.
In my opinion, there should be no rules for such basic social interactions, neither rules for regulating the touching nor rules for regulating the reaction to it. It's not just a matter of personal freedom not to have such rules, human behavior cannot and should not be regulated in such ways. Every human interaction enforces or is based on existing norms anyway, but these change over time and fixed rules would prevent that change. The change is needed to adapt to changing living conditions and technological changes.

Of course, there can be exceptions, for example rules may make sense when there is an extremely asymmetric power relation, e.g. one is the employer of another, and we already have rules in the form of laws for that purpose.

Without getting political (please!), does somebody have an idea where does this obsession with rules come from? Fear of civil lawsuits in the US?

A good foundation for such a language would be one based on Quantitative Type Theory [0]. It’s a dependent type theory that records usage information in every typing judgement.

I think what you mean to say is that you live in an "all party consent" jurisdiction. "Two party consent" would imply that if there are more than two parties then only the consent of two of them is needed.
> but it might also create downwards pressure as management were more reluctant to give anybody a raise given that it might cause other employees to demand one too

Maybe. Unless, of course, management's income is absurdly high compared to that of their hires and then the hires decide to unionize in retaliation leading to again upward pressure. And if management's income isn't absurdly higher, then there's no real problem with the scenario because now everyone's being compensated fairly.

Vagitot Cream
Vagina Tightening Cream

Sex in women life is complex phenomena. Sexual life in women based on different emotion. With physical aspect like penis in male vagina plays vital role in sexual life of women. Pleasure in sexual life of women as well as men depends on condition of vagina. Conditions of vagina change according to different phases in life of women. If case of teenager is considered firmness in vagina is much more than a woman of late 30’s. It is easy to get conclusion that vagina tightening looses as age increases. Childbirth is one of main reason of loose vagina & after that things are not go same anymore. Loose vagina means low sexual pleasure.
You're helping to create a very cold world. I've heard the term neopuritan thrown around in this context, and the more I think about it the more it fits. The modern obsession with harshly judging the body language, physical touch, and emotion of individuals today feels like a technology-enabled Scarlet Letter.

People's preferences aren't immediately self-evident to all observers, and intent does matter.

This is dumb. This would give potential employers too much leverage in salary negotiations.
It's actually a matter of personal freedom to have such rules. Joe Biden's-- or anyone else's-- freedom to swing his fist should end at my nose, and this should be made clear and unambiguous to everyone's benefit. License and anarchy are the opposite of genuine, actual freedom.
That's the icon I was talking about. It was present on my Nexus 5 with Android 6 (marshmallow), but disappeared when I upgraded to android 7 (nougat) and there's no way I can see to bring it back. It's possible that other carriers have it enabled, but google's flagship phones have it disabled.

Obviously, if you know someone doesn't like a thing, you can avoid doing that thing. It is quite common for some people who just met to clasp a shoulder or similar. It provides extra social comfort and connectivity. I'd suggest a little empathy for those seeking human connection in a socially positive way. Hmm. Seems that empathy thing goes both ways.

Having tried propranolol, I still had the same amount of fear but without physical manifestations of it like shaky hands or excessive sweating.
> This idea is nonsense.

You have a valid point. But, this system works in other countries. People is able to ask for other citizens taxes. But, the person "investigated" gets a notification of whom asked fir its tax returns.

> Stop taxing income - tax spending.

This makes very easy to accumulate wealth and it is difficult to apply progressive taxing.

> Jealousy over other peoples incomes, fairly or unfairly gained, will never result in a fair system for all

Capitalism is based in information. Without information citizens cannot take good decisions. And that is why there is people earning very low salaries for the same jobs that others are getting a good pay.

I personally do not think that jealousy plays a role here. I know that my boss makes more money that me. That may cause jealousy. If my college does the same job that me (or worse) and I get paid less I can leave for another company. If another company pays more than mine, I can leave. If I am very good paid, I will appreciate it more as I know the market.

To hide salaries is as reasonable as to hide product prices. It will break the system.

Candidates would also have more information. They would have information about current employees and they could compare against their coworkers after they join.
>It's also unauthorized access to another account. What do we typically call unauthorized access to a computer?

At no point did Assange have unauthorized access to a computer. Manning had legitimate access, and sent a copy of a file to Assange. And it wasn't done to gain new information, just to protect the source of the information.

Your example is ridiculous, you can't compare an act that harms nobody to an attempted murder.
> The article is behind a paywall

I didn't see one.
For a Mobiüs strip, the bug would find the world had been mirrored along the width of the strip if it made a round trip and came back to the same point. Other bugs that stayed behind would claim that the traveller itself had become mirrored.

(If you do the experiment with paper, the bug would be on the other side of the paper from where it started, but I don't think this concept of "side" exists when the strip is described as a manifold. The bug lives in the strip, it's not walking on top of it. It helps to imagine the strip to be transparent.)

For a Klein bottle the same would happen, but there the bug could also find the world mirrored along a different direction, depending on how it travelled.
Thanks for pointing out the fuzziness! I did not want to extend this further so as not to confuse readers who have no familiarity with the subject. Of course, the fact that you cross your own path at some point is _not_ indicative of living on a sphere; there are numerous other manifolds that satisfy this (not to speak of the torus, as you yourself mentioned).

I will try to be more precise about this in a subsequent article!
The way I see it this would give employees too little room in pay difference. On paper there is often very little difference between a good employee and a toxic employee. Some of the worst people are technically the most productive but hurt others productivity in ways that are hard to document and aren't directly punishable. Their managers certainly feel it, and know they are not worth as much to the company as the employee who produces less but is generally a positive to the office environment.
I assume you also mean do something like tax consumption? I like the idea but haven't read too much literature on how that would actually work out -- if anyone has good links please share!
The same extraction of information happens with or without Assange's help, the only difference is how visible Manning is while doing it.
If you make a lot, it is important to keep it private.

1. People kidnap your child, knowing you can pay ransom.

2. People jump in front of your car, knowing you can pay when sued.

3. People break into your house, knowing you have things worth stealing.

4. People hack into your private photos, knowing you can pay blackmail.

Anonymity is the most important defense against the evils of man. They don't hurt you now, because they don't _know_ to hurt you.

Sorry -- I missed the point of your question. I don't think individuals can just buy the data the same way a bounty hunter can simply buy cell tower tracker information on an individual basis.

I'm not very informed here, but I suspect those purchase arrangements are made by very large companies, and that by the time small companies or individuals are purchasing data it's been resold and transformed.
I think you'll find we already have rules that restrict Joe Biden's freedom to punch you on the nose. On the other hand, we don't have rules that say I must ask for your explicit consent before putting out my hand to shake yours when we meet.

Somewhere in between, there are gray areas. The question is whether one vocal minority should be allowed to define where the lines are drawn, and insist the rest of society adjusts its norms to abide by their definitions. Or is it OK for the establishment of social norms to be a broader, slower, less clearly-defined, and sometimes ambiguous process?
How do you deal with the dissonance of Biden being a leading political figure, whilst being socially incompetent?

How does he get voters? Why aren’t people who meet him singularly turned against his candidacy?

In Finland, tax records are public, but only top lists are published. To see records not on the top lists, you have to visit a tax office and view records on their terminal—no copies can be made, but you can take notes.

Would you be able to give other examples of this obsession with rules?

From this, and this alone, I'd like to imagine that people just want to clear up the unknown. Social interactions are almost always different from one person to the next. Social norms do tend to keep things pretty similar but the whole range can vary wildly. Maybe this is just a way to narrow the range? I don't think it is a great way to handle things that make you uncomfortable and I also don't think uncomfortable is always a bad thing.
Anarchy means no rulers, not no rules.
Biden isn’t swinging his fist. It’s social interaction. Now, blurring the distinction between interactions with friends and strangers is problematic. But the interaction itself isn’t a problem, it’s recontextualizing the interaction which is problematic.
No we should not.

I find it quite sad when I see young non religious people at work behaving like monks and nuns in fear of human latent intentions and interpretations of their behaviour. Sometimes reading too much theory and having too many specific words that define phenomenons which you have not yet experienced and elaborated can lead to a very frustrating life to say the least..
Ultimately, an RTOS can only provide you with the tools to create a hard real-time system. The RTOS cannot guarantee that your application can meet any deadlines. That requires the proper use of those tools by the application.

If you improperly prioritize tasks or use semaphore locks improperly or keep interrupts disabled too long, then your application will not be real-time.

NOTE: NuttX does provide tools to measure interrupt latencies, response times, and critical section times. Those are helps in creating a real-time system.

So, it is not a meaningful to ask if the RTOS has been certified in some way to always meet deadlines. You should ask rather, does the OS provide the tools that you need and does your overall application meets its deadlines.
Since you're distinguishing rules from norms and laws, can you describe what kind of rules are you talking about?
no. there's no requirement for lower dimension. like another person that responded to you R^3 is 3 dimensional manifold. a (smooth) manifold is a space you can do calculus on. that means you have a consistent notion of distance (so that you can figure out when points are close together, ie you approach limits). the set of charts and continuous transformations between them is what encodes this constraint.
"Coldness", formality and due process are actually the best defense when dealing with someone who is in an obvious position of power. I'm not sure why people are pretending that Joe Biden is just an average guy who has gotten a little too comfy with some social acquaintance of his (the scenario that one might have a "cold" overreaction to). I do wonder what would happen if we were talking about Mike Pence doing the same things. Would the Washington Post be saying the same things about the inherent necessity of touch?
I don't think it's an intelligence thing just what problems one's come across. Generating configs for various deployments where resources change? Generating configs for developer set up? If you start having a lot of environmental variables or private keys it might be more manageable to get them from another secure source.
>>I much prefer Rust's approach of "mutable references never alias"

>This rules out a vast majority of fundamental algorithms.

To be more precise, in Rust:

- '&mut T' (a mutable reference to T) can never alias.

- '(asterix) mut T' (a mutable pointer to T) can alias.

The advantage is that you can write most production code with a mix of '&T' and '&mut T', which allows the compiler to assume no mutable aliases anywhere. But if you're building a doubly-linked list, then you can explicitly choose '(asterix) mut T'. (For other options, see https://rust-unofficial.github.io/too-many-lists/.)

In practice, it depends a lot on the code you're writing. I've written tens of thousands of lines of production Rust without needing shared mutability. But if I were writing a traditional game or GUI toolkit, then I might miss shared mutability a lot more.

> Jealousy over other peoples incomes

I think people downplay the seriousness of this issue. Instead looking inward "how can I make more money" many people look outward "why is so and so making more, they should make less". Is the population as a whole ready to live in a what is effectively a pro-sports environment and be reminded every day they are valued $X less than so and so.

Through experience of managing people who have made more than me I've learned that I'm ok with the information. But, people in general are super weird about money. I've seen other people be really bothered because someone made just a bit more than them without ever stopping to think why. I also have friends that I can have frank conversations about our salaries, but other friends who I have to avoid the conversation completely.
