The paper described a funny problem.

> A persistent problem encountered in the transporting process was one related to addressing on the PDP-11. We noticed this in one of the first programs brought over to the Series/1. The program was supposed to print out "Unix" and instead printed out "nUxi" (reversing pairs of bytes). Each machine addresses words by an even address. The PDP-11 addresses a word by its low-order byte, and the Series/1 addresses a word by its high-order byte. The effect is that byte-oriented data are correct when taken from one machine to another; but word-oriented data, including instructions, must have the bytes of each word interchanged. This architectural difference had substantial implications in moving any data between the PDP-11 and the Series/1. In addition, this difference was incorporated into program logic whenever a two-byte sequence was considered at times as a 16-bit binary word, and at other times a sequence of two 8-bit bytes.

Many US carriers now include the same usage in Mexico (and Canada) as in the US, which should alleviate this problem.

It was really common in Michigan as well, even inside some buildings very clearly on the US mainland.
Add to that that it's in no carrier's interest to have agreements and for them all to "over" bill their customers. Only when one carrier breaks the unspoken agreement (and starts taking customers) do others have to acquiesce. Thank you T-Mobile.

I feel like the moral of this is to be better at cheating.

I mean, if the interviewee hadn’t cheated, he still would have gotten the esoteric sorting question wrong, and probably failed the interview because another person had happened to remember the esoteric sorting question.

So it was really a situation where there was (aside from ethical considerations) no incentive to not cheat.

If it were a situation where we were evaluating the candidate based on actual work related skills, this wouldn’t be an issue. Interviewer could develop a conversation with the candidate and have an interesting discussion about the problem that will give insight into how smart they are and if they can hack it.

That could have been done in this case as well, but instead of giving useful guidance, (“what if you thought about them as strings”) interviewer gave a meaningless clue. That is really just restating the problem parameters and has little to do with the implementation.
Maybe they believe that he was communicating with other people who are planning similar attacks, and they believe they could stop those attacks before they happen if they had access to the Dayton guy's phone.

I feel this fragmentation of where content can be found is going to cause a new wave of torrenting movies/series.

I pay for 5 different streaming services right now, one is Apple Music. On Apple Music I can find, what I feel, like 90% of all music I want to listen to. On the other video streaming services it's a complete mess. They often show pictures of a movie/series on their front page, and later when I decide to watch it, it's gone. And gone from all of the services I pay for.

This behavior is taking away the convenience and make me feel they are gaming me. I seldom go to iTunes and just buy some several decades old movie/series(you can't even buy series on iTunes in my country) when they do this, I either give up or torrent it(via VPN). Yeah, illegal I know.

I'm not really wanting laws to change, but this behavior from the content owners in combination with their lobbying to make new laws to scan for content they own everywhere, lobbying for removing Internet anonymity, and having regular people pay damages that are more than they will earn in several lifetimes is not very constructive for the society either.

I starting to think it's time for laws that, for example, force content owners to make their content available to 80% of the paying streaming watchers, or lose the right to the content.

I'm not so sure about the idea that "unused ends" are "wasting energy". Simply put your finger on a small spinning motor and watch the current go up - increase the work done, increase the power usage. Typical losses in magnetic motors are:

1. Friction - Bearings, brushes, etc

2. Air - Typically cooling

3. Core - Hysteresis (changing polarity is not possible instantly) and eddy current losses (unwanted current flow)

4. Resistance - The coils themselves resist high current

Brushless motors are typically 85-90% efficient and brushed typically reach 75-80% efficiency [1]. Reducing the size a little, sure, but increasing the torque - I highly doubt for the same power input. I'm sure we will get to 95% efficiency within the next 10 years or so (with big money from the automotive industry pushing research), but it's highly unlikely we will get more than that outside of the a lab with super-cooled conductors.

Which is the other thing, increasing the amount of torque and reducing the size means greater heat generation. Any saving in size you're getting gets lost again just keeping the motor cool.

Anyway, the promises don't pass basic scrutiny, I would definitely need to see some numbers on this. It sounds like snake oil.

EDIT: Another thing - electric motors are already very efficient, you're getting more loss in other parts, such as voltage regulators, motor control circuitry, batteries (if you're using them), cooling, etc, etc. I just don't think this will translate to a massive improvement.

To me, the mere act of calling the fundamental structure of the universe "fine-tuned" sounds fallacious; it seems to assume that there's any sort of tuning involved. It seems equally valid to assume that a random process exists that happened to give rise to our universe. We don't know how long it took for the universe to begin, or whether it's the only one, or even if the question makes sense.

Lots of religious people like to use fine tuning to imply that there is a designing intent behind the universe, usually completely ignoring the fact that only a vanishingly small part of it can harbor life at all. Are we certain that there aren't parameters which would produce even more life? What about universes with an entirely different structure?

I also personally object to the notion that it's somehow acceptable to assume a creator has to exist, but not acceptable to assume that the universe has to exist; the latter assumption is much less far-fetched.

Electric cars don't usually have "gearboxes" proper. They use gears, fixed ratio reductors. This is not expensive nor is it fragile nor bulky nor inefficient.

The benefits that a very high torque motor could bring are real but marginal, a few percentage points improvements on the respective metrics. They could instantly be negated by, say, the lower initial reliability of a revolutionary design.
