Sensitivity here is defined as

Take all possible input strings

Given any input string, the sensitivity of that string is how many bits you could flip that cause the output to flip.

Now take the /maximum/ of all input string sensitivities.

For e.g. a hash function, you'd want either a minimum or something like a 1st percentile.
Men who start balding in their 20s are at increased risk of mental ill health, including self harm and sometimes suicide.

> They want to leave ? Good riddance.

As citizens at least, it's pretty well understood that in majority we don't want to leave, one half definitely doesn't, the other half are mostly a combination of naive, manipulated and coerced based on false claims and social media, some portion are not manipulated or naive but have settled on some narrow view of a very large and complex decision... and finally the minority (the small number of racists and xenophobes you inevitably get in any country who want to cut off the rest of the world and built walls or some shit).

We've been fucked over because we let the vulnerable portion of the other half get manipulated. The only valid vote was no, because the premise was entirely flawed... it's like having a referendum for "Do you want lower taxes" without saying exactly how, but "leave the EU" is even more complex not only in how but what that even means and what that affects which is so broad, it's like taking a huge list of very specific not necessarily related things putting them in a bag and then saying "you wana change this stuff in undefined ways" - fuck no, if you want to watch the world burn at least be up front about it.

Yes, you can isolate individual devices the same way you'd isolate any IPv6 device on your home network - using a firewall. Normally you would firewall away your entire home network and only open up connectivity to the devices you want.

Additionally, you can configure the firewall on the Border Router as well, which is the device that actually interfaces between Thread and other networks.

"The idea behind the sanctions is in the end to make the life of the populous sufficiently difficult so they will rebel."

Isn't it evil?

I mean, if you don't believe the results of referendum and subsequent Gallop's poll, than sanctions are intentionally hurting people who are victims of Russian occupation. And if you do believe that overwhelming majority of Crimean people support reunification with Russia, the sanctions punish Crimeans for exercising their right of self-determination and reek of double standards. I don't remember any sanctions on Chechen republic after it separated from Russia, for example.
I will agree the UK has never really embraced the whole EU project as it has become. I also agree that in many votes, the UK has been the stumbling block and with that did anybody in the UK and those wanting to keep the UK in the EU ever asked themselves - what is best for the EU?

I did and that is why I voted leave myself - better for the EU and the UK. That was my reason for voting as I did. Equally, many area's in the EU that need fixing and by the UK leaving, those would stick out and get fixed. Case in point, the UK initially asked for reform within the EU and got palmed off with some concessions and we had a vote on the back of that. Now after the vote - Tusk et all have said, the EU needs reform and Macron is driving for that reform. Ironically that reform won't happen or even start to be discussed, until the UK leaves.

I often get people who go on about the EU and how they are pro-EU and demanding a second vote (probably a third....until they get the result they want...) but if you ask them - what has the UK done for the EU? They stumble.

This is why holiday is so needed. I had a week and a half off work recently and made a conscious effort to just keep myself focused on the holiday and did whatever I felt like at the time, and even though it was fairly active (the drinking bit mainly), I felt like all the small things I kept stressing over didn't matter because I wasn't at home. Having this shift of perception can help you work on ways and identify what is causing stress.
Fair point, but they could just have used short/long press to have both options, as mentioned elsewhere in this discussion.
One thing that hasn't been mentioned in the article is how well the smaller brain models performed compared to the real thing - which is kind of crucial to our understanding of many of the encapsulated questions and assumptions.

Even something relatively simple like "We managed to convert the optic nerve to a signal and strobed the poor mouse into a seizure - would the model mouse brain also show similiar brain reactions?"

If you have the neurons mapped but not the biochemistry the divergence could be very telling even if countless "emulation bugs" occur from the implicit assumptions that lead to the states.

I suspect it is, though I haven't delved in their financials to prove it. Giving a different internal pricing to their own product could be constructed as an anti-competitive action, and someone would have sued them for that. If they merely didn't report it [that is, didn't count it in Office/GSuite costs], it would sound like hosting for free which again could be considered anti-competitive, so that sounds unlikely to me.

My original comment was just saying that there's no good reason not to count GSuite/Office in respective GCP/Azure marketshare. Obviously these cloud-products could have been hosted in different clouds, but they aren't.
I'm not sure how you can say with a straight face that political parties only came into existance in the 1800's.

Prototypal modern, organized political parties started to emerge in the 1700's. Do you think before then that everyone was an independent and had no common goals? Political factions predate even the first demcracy. There where a number of competing, and from many accounts solid, factions in both the greek and roman governing systems, which where for all intents and purposes a party.

Many smart people have looked into that, danah boyd being the most insightful.

It has little to do with the information or sway that companies actual have, or how much they mishandle it — no one cares about Experian or even darker data traders, few people worry about Amazon’s ability to dump and rake up prices, etc. Facebook resonates, no matter how faintly the actual issue relates to something the company does.

What makes Facebook unique is that you interact with other people in your close environment: family, school, often colleagues, all together. Twitter doesn’t have that: you are not following everyone you know, just people you share an interest with.

That is a recipe for constant context collapse. When I was working there, my cousin told me that she hated Facebook. I asked why: there were some obvious issues with several boys she was interested in, who noticed each other and acted like jealous teenagers. She glazed over that but somehow chose to point out that her mother wasn’t the best at staying away from the situation. Nothing new, but with Facebook, my cousin had lost her ability to have the mating dances away from her family. Another thing she hated was that I was posting status updates in English. I don’t talk to her in English, so she felt this was me acting “fake”. It’s not our native language but I have legitimate reasons to be legible by most of my friends.

Having a single context is problematic for many reasons: hegemony I think is the best angle — there’s an acceptable public face and not everyone likes it but employees over-index people who are comfortable. I see this as the main reason Groups and large Messenger chats have proven so successful: you can reclaim context.

Facebook is not the worst data-handler or has the most incriminating details, but it is the place where you have to deal with your racist uncle, so stories about Trump being elected there add up. It’s the place where your aunt discovered her son’s “roommate” was half-naked and covered in glitter during Pride, so arguments about “sharing private data, including your sexual orientation” resonate.

I’ve made that argument in HN before, I know many responders will argue “There are _really bad! What about _that_ scandal?” Yes, Facebook has made bad choices, reacted poorly to some, and yes they are patterns of dominant position and abuses thereof (which I argued in my PhD 15 years ago). Hell, I’ve made bad errors when I was working there. It’s a large platform so they are close to a lot of unsavoury things.

But the attention, the likelihood of an article being clicked on depending it the title reads “Tech companies, including Google, have exposed…” vs. “Tech companies, including Facebook have exposed…” isn’t commensurate to the reality of their bad decisions. I think everyone should be as outraged by all similar scandal, not less — but I think we should first try to understand why certain stories resonate and not others, and I strongly believe it’s proximity and relatability.
> This is as old as photography is a thing.

It sure is, but modern tech greatly increased the phenomenon. Old tech made photography way less interesting for narcissistic people. It was hard, expensive, took time to develop, you most likely had no audience if you weren't a professional. Now you can take a snapshit on your budget dslr, send it via bluetooth to your ipad, edit it right there and put it on instagram for free, some even get paid if they include a watch or a pair of shoe in the pic...

Sure in the bunch you have a few artistic people, but most of it is the same exact picture of the same exact thing. All of it for imaginary internet points. We don't have to watch black mirror anymore we're living in a lame and slow version of it already. Comparing Van Gogh to that is a bit of a stretch.

> treat the symptoms as much as possible, and prescribe lifestyle changes (diet, exercise, sleep)

That's pretty much what I have been doing, when I was 19. But I became sick, saw a couple of doctors without a diagnosis and that prescrption would have sounded like: "Have you tried not being sick anymore?"

I had to wait for a NSAID to kick in to get down liquid food, had to sleep often, because I could only sleep for few hours at a time and everyday life was exercise enough. At that point blood tests for lyme were inconclusive, but the rheumatologist thought the symptoms warranted oral doxycycline, which cleared the symptoms within days. Maybe a lumbar puncture would have shown it, but I was asymptomatic before I was scheduled.

Like nosianu experienced, there was a long period where I thought, I just had to get my act together and it takes a while to conclude that something is seriously wrong. At some point, you take a doctor's educated guess, even if the treatment is harmful.
Slightly tweaked the above, in case anyone is interested. Copy the following to /etc/udev/rules.d/10-block-device-history-rules:

Run

> $ sudo udevadm control --reload-rules && sudo udevadm trigger

> $ sudo journalctl -f SYSLOG_IDENTIFIER=block-device-history

...Then re-inserting a USB device produces output similar to the below:

Lotus was slow to move any of their products away from the command line. Excel was on the Mac in 1985. Lotus didn’t come to the Mac until 1991 and when it did, it was awful. Microsoft had years of GUI development experience by the time Windows 3.1 shipped because they were producing Mac software. Lotus and WordPerfect were panned for their early Windows products because they were direct ports more or less of their DOS products, not because they couldn’t get access to super secret Windows APIs.

As far as compatibility. By 1990, Apple/Claris had XTND/Apple File Exchange utilities to convert from Rxcel/Word to ClarisWorks. People knew Microsoft’s formats by then.

The Mac was its own little incompatible island back then with incompatible file formats between Mac Word/Windows Word (though they could be translated), resource forks and data forks, file types as part of the file metadata instead of file extensions, heck even text files used different line endings than either Unix or Windows. Mac users didn’t generally worry about seamless interoperability.

On the other hand, back in the day, Office could open every kind of document under the sun.
> No. The statement "Fusion reactors are MUCH more complex than fission reactors." followed by "So, just comparing volume is being very favorable to fusion." is a non sequitur.

You seem to be implying that comparing by volume is unfair to fusion. So, instead, let's compare by mass. The mass of ITER is 23,000 tonnes, for an average density of about 2.8 g/cm^3. I don't have the figure for the mass of a PWR reactor vessel in front of me, but it's mostly empty space (filled with water and fuel in operation, which are not part of the capital cost). So, comparing by volume alone may actually ALSO be giving fusion an advantage.

> I pointed out that the different operating principles of fission and fusion reactors suggest cost proportional to volume^(2/3) for the latter (which of course implies that there is a size beyond which a fusion reactor will be more cost efficient than a fission one).

I don't think scaling data for cost of fusion experiments supports this.

BTW, as a fusion reactor gets bigger, at a fixed geometry and magnetic field strength, the mass of the material needed to support the magnets (to resist the outward force the magnetic field puts on the coils) is proportional to the volume of the reactor, not to the surface area of the plasma. And you want the reactor to be at as high magnetic field as possible, since the fusion power density goes as B^4. If wall power loading prevents one from taking advantage of this the reactor is too big and will have inferior power density, compared to a smaller reactor at higher B. This is why concepts like MIT's ARC have power density an order of magnitude higher than ITER (but still very much less than a PWR).

> The 2/3 is known as an exponent. I believe exponents are part of the K-12 math curriculum, and definitely propaedeutic to nuclear engineering.

That's very special, I'm sure.

Everything about how they make money and the value of the business model is correct, but i'm not sure its the time to be bullish on schemes:

- National switches are surely eroding domestic transaction volume in the markets where they are deployed

- Im not aware of a schemes playing a central part in any of the big wallet based payment systems taking over POS

- Non-bank / non-scheme pay later systems are growing extremely fast amongst younger demographics at least here in SEA

- (Im guessing) that with increased financial literacy the profitability and popularity of credit cards is decreasing

The basics are not what make them hard. But they are vast in how they can be used and combined to achieve various results. Writing semantically correct, accessible, maintainable markup and CSS is websites that often have thousands of elements on a page (a separate problem, but true), made up of components authored in a CMS with who-knows-what nesting ... etc etc it’s hard. CSS favors conciseness over explicitness, so there are many properties that look like they do one thing but actually do another. That’s hard too, you have to learn not to assume the obvious interpretation of a property name is the correct one.

What often happens is developers duct tape complicated user interfaces together using the basics (because CSS and HTML are considered “easy”) and end up painting themselves into a corner where it’s increasing difficult to manage the code and assistive technology has no idea what’s going on.

For me, letting new developers know that good HTML and CSS is hard helps them to respect the huge surface area involved and be patient with themselves when they struggle. Telling people those things are “easy” makes them feel stupid when they can’t get something working right away.

I guess you cover this by saying advanced features require some learning - but I feel like people hit the hard part of CSS very early on when trying to implement basic patterns that are on most websites.
That's what's normally done when the body of water is too small, you add a cooling tower, cycle the tertiary coolant through it and compensate for evaporation from the water source.

The issue here is that the body of water is "intermediate", so it was large enough the designer felt they didn't need cooling tower as inflow would be sufficient in all but extreme case, except the extreme case is becoming the normal.
