I'll save you two examples:

1. Finding a private key to a public key without a brute force attack can be done by physically forcing the holder of the private key to give it up ($5 wrench attack). This is the low energy attack vector. You can secure the private key only by expending more energy to protect it.

2. In the game of hide and seek to avoid searching the whole space you can follow the person hiding to their hiding place, watch them come out, or intercept their communications. All these activities require effort on the part of the hider that is at least equal than the effort to follow/detect them. If no communication is made and the hider never leaves the hiding spot, the situation is analogous to a death, and so is not the same scenario.
I disagree. Centipedes and other many-legged critters can move very fast. Every leg is just a tiny lightweight thing with its own balanced dynamics, just a part of a wheel basically.
First thing that came to my mind is a plastic brush with flexible back. If you move a rollers along the back the bristles extend downwards and move backwards in a walking motion, just like a sea urchin does. Scale that and you have a walking machine moving amazingly fast. Tiny bristles yield and conform to any surface.

Much of the concept is that the prison's are at 200% capacity because of the perverse incentives for the state (prosecutors, police, judges) to fulfill the private contract minimums.

Mandatory minimums and the 3 strike rule are suspected to be related to private prisons contracts.
I work in ML for search engines and have been part of very large cohort (n > 5000) user studies carried out by a former employer to measure eye saccade movements over search result pages to understand where user attention is drawn in different search modalities.

In list form results, users typically just click whatever is the first thing without much consideration for its relevance.

In gallery form results, users will scan in a ”backwards C” shape along the first row, down the far right column, then from right to left along the bottom row above the fold, pretty consistently, but still usually just click things in the first row.

The cohort was meticulously designed to allow controlling for factors like age, search interface familiarity (users completed tasks in sessions prior to the eye measurement portion), country, language, etc.

I agree that it seems like a massive wasted opportunity, but the most compelling argument I've heard against nuclear power is that it creates a vulnerability. If a nuclear power plant in New York City had been successfully attacked 18 years ago, what would the damage have been?

> - 200W would allow for 2-4miles on the most efficient cars

Sorry, but that's wrong. They meant 2-4 miles per 1 kWh, not per 200 Wh.

Very good EVs get about 4-4.5 miles / kWh at optimal speed (usually between 25 and 35 mi/hr). So, best case, 200 Wh is good for about 1 mile, assuming you can deliver the 200 Wh over a period of 2 minutes.

However, 200 W can't push the car at 1 mi/hr because of "vampire" losses: Power for accessories and vehicle systems (like power-assisted steering, power-assisted friction brakes, the ABS controller, the airbag monitor, etc). 200 W of power isn't just slower than walking: In a normal-sized car, you will literally go 0 mi/hr.

More importantly, 200 W/m^2 is the best-case scenario at noon, in the tropics, on a cloudless day, with no shadows, using expensive, high-efficiency panels aimed squarely at the sun. As soon as any of those qualifiers is not met, power drops precipitously.

In particular, the atmosphere absorbs a large amount of light: In space, solar insolation is about 1300 W/m^2. At earth's surface in the tropics, solar insolation is about 1000 W/m^2 at noon. At higher latitudes, or other times of the day, solar insolation is lower.

A good rule of thumb is that (for Europe and North America) the total insolation over a full day is about 5000 Wh/m^2. So, a solar panel on a sun-following mount is limited to about 1000 Wh/m^2/day, again assuming no clouds. For a fixed solar panel, such as on the hood of a car, you'll get about half of that: 500 Wh/m^2/day. Remember, you need 1000 Wh to go 4-5 miles.

> And also reasonably close to the peer review process popular in sciences

I don't see the connection between the peer review process and PageRank. Peer review consists of educated experts explicitly making a value determination on the quality of the work before it is published and publicly available. Citations can be useful for judging impact, but this happens after the peer review process has been completed.
Google only uses their patents defensively when sued for patent infringment. A world without patents would result in the same result for them but with less overhead.

In this landscape where it's almost impossible to build products without stepping on patents, the only way to defend a large company against being bled to the bone by patent lawsuits is to have a deep warchest of patents to file countersuits, basically just MAD for software.

> OS threads means context switching which means relinquishing the cpu from user space to kernel space for a time.

No. The OS will switch contexts regardless of how many threads you have. Even with zero threads the OS will be context switching between processes anyways. That's just how pre-emptive multitasking works.

What you're trying to say is that threads might get starved due to imperfect scheduling; but even that is wrong - you're never going to write a better scheduler than the one in the Linux kernel. I mean that seriously.

If you want a deterministic scheduling routine without unpredictable delays, then just use one of the realtime schedulers provided to you by the kernel. That's what they're there for.
I'm 35, and my grandmother was born in 1912. She had my mom, the youngest of 5, when she was 45.

She herself (my grandmother) was the youngest of 13 surviving children. Her father (my great grandfather) was born in 1861, and her mother was born in 1868. He died in 1937 (20 years before my mother was born), and she in 1953, the same year Queen Elizabeth II was crowned queen of England, and 30 years before I was born.

My wife's great grandmother died when she was a junior in high school.

I agree, the results of having children later in life can be quite amazing, and I think there is a cultural impact as well. I would call myself and my family a little old fashioned and definitely thrifty due to having a grandmother who lived through the great depression.

Just thought I'd try and blow your mind a little more.

Right, I understand your point, and maybe I'm being too reductive here, but the idea heuristic that what people link to is authoritative is an opinionated decision that ended up being satisfactorily accurate (and efficient to implement).

> The biggest problem facing users of web search engines today is the quality of the results they get back.

Google is designed to provide higher quality search so as the Web continues to grow rapidly, information can be found easily.

(Yes, the opinion that a "bill clinton" query should probably return official/biographical pages before "Joke of the Day" is a pretty obvious and uncontroversial one)

"Take 95% certainty compared to 99%. Because 95 is pretty close to 99, it feels like the difference should be minimal. In reality, there’s a gulf between those two benchmarks:

At 95% certainty, you have 19 people saying “yes” and 1 person saying “no.”
At 99% certainty, you have 99 people saying “yes” and 1 person saying “no.”

It feels like a difference of four people when, in reality, it’s a difference of 80. That’s a much bigger difference than we expect."

If the game randomly dropped a high tier weapon, you could use it, trade it, or sell it for real money. The real money auction house was a great addition imo.

> Fines are meant as a warning

Fines are a deterrent and punitive measure. They punish you for doing something and make you hesitate to do it again. If these 2 goals aren't reached than the fine isn't really effective.

If they were a warning then you'd expect the second offense to be punished by some action that can make the fine feel like "just" a warning. What's that action? How effective is a string of endless warnings that are never followed up with real action?

One way would be to implement a series of exponentially growing fines. This would make them less "cost of doing business" and more "massive liability".

So let me get this straight...

This algorithm creates an initially empty array of size K with the DB internal ids of what would randomly be selected.
Then it goes in order from 0 to the number of rows - 1, and for each one it goes e.g.
"What are the chances that number 0 would get randomly picked out of N items if K items need to be picked?"
Then, if the #0 passes the "random check", it gets added. Then it would go to 1 and go
"What are the chances #1 would be picked out of N-1 items if K-1 items need to be picked?"
...and repeated so on until all K random items have been picked?

That microbenchmark is old and quite imperfect; I'm pretty sure it's not actually measuring what it claims to measure.

The point still stands. Creating threads (at least in a normal OS like a modern Linux) is really fast.

E.g., when processing a huge logfile it's faster to create one short-lived thread per each line than it is to use a thread pool with the producer-consumer routine and conditional variables.

> as far as the carriers are concerns most of the public doesn’t care, LE is happy

That’s because they haven’t heard from the public on this issue, nobody’s complaining because nobody knows. As soon as they do hear about it, they will realize the public cares. This is why public awareness of the lack of security in our current cellular setup is important.

Law enforcement is a non-argument in my opinion. Of course they want it easy, but we do not have to make it easy. Many of the safety measures we currently enjoy happened despite law enforcement’s complaints, including device locking and encryption.

And, like I said before, I believe they can get what they want with little to no effort and continue to spy on us without forcing the public to lose privacy to Israeli or Russian or Chinese or even your local neighborhood black hats.
