this is a logic problem that seems intuitive - but isn't. You are given 3 doors and told there is a prize behind one. You pick. Before you open your door, the host opens one of the remaining....leaving two closed doors: the one you pick and the unopened one you didn't pick. Then the host asks "want to switch your door for the one that's left." The right answer is....always to accept the switch.
That's good design, right?

The thing is, people are very good at checking boxes, and not very good at remembering important things.

So while it may seem inane, plain old checking boxes is almost certainly part of a good strategy for dealing with tedious, repetitive tasks where one error can cause serious issues - and this kind of security is probably one of those.

Obviously, it's not enough, nor an excuse to turn off your brain - but it's a pretty proven behavioral pattern.
And the argument is unclarity about that unclarity is worse than nothing at all?

The writing seems to ignore the very premise, by arguing the existence of edge cases to the edge cases makes any improvement impossible.

Seems the sort of ridiculous navel gazing that earns philosophy a bad reputation.

Just because things are computerized doesn't mean firms are willing to provide liquidity. The number of natural counter-parties at any one time are low, this is where HFT comes in, as market makers. Also if you look at the pricing mechanism of ETFs, they simply couldn't exist without HFT. Arbitrage is essential to ETFs, they simply wouldn't exist without low latency creation and destruction of shares.
Exactly. I have been without before, and it consumes too much of your higher brain function. Lots of problems evaporate even with a small amount of cash or cash flow. Conversely it is hard to then use money as an efficient lever after running on fumes for years. This is often why you see changes in leadership as an org grows, the person who bootstraps a company has a much different skillset then the person who grows it into a large powerful org. The latter should know where to spend much larger sums of money to achieve goals rather than penny pinching and sinking more precious resources like time or focus.

1) Because I want it and what is this, soviet Russia?

Dead serious. The mentality that everything you want to have needs to be explicitly justified to society before you are permitted to have it is a sick twisted authoritarian mindset. I thought our society was better than this

2) The same reason I support the second amendment. The government is gigantic and powerful and scary. Even if it acts in the most benevolent way possible, it is gigantic and powerful and that is _intrinsically_ scary. The government can _fuck up_ and destroy ten thousand lives before anyone even notices. Consequently, people need ways to defend themselves from the government proactively. Encryption is one such way.

2b) If someone wants to argue that "what if criminals use it to do crime", remember that marijuana is still a federal crime, and some absurd percentage like 30% of all Americans have smoked it at least once. It is well within the government's power to just spider through all social media to see all references to marijuana, use that as probable cause, and do raids on _MILLIONS_ of people. Will this happen? Almost certainly not. COULD this happen? Absolutely. Unless, of course, all those communications were encrypted such that nobody could access them. I don't think "I pinkie swear I won't do it" is a good enough protection for me against that possibility

3) the cynical answer: we already have ample evidence of actual child sexual abuse rings, but for some bizarre reason the authorities lost interest in following up on that once the ONE guy they got hung himself. If they aren't willing to do the police work on this issue that they already can, I don't see what the argument is to give them full access to all crypto systems.

4) Technical answer: Just because you make a backdoor and give the government the only key, doesn't mean the government is the only people who are going to use that door. Maybe they lose the key. Maybe they give the key to someone who turns out not to be trustworthy. Maybe someone makes a secret copy of the key. Maybe a burglar doesn't actually get the key, but he's really really good at picking locks and so the backdoor makes it that much easier for him to get in. Security is a hard problem and every single compromise increases your risk surface area. The first lesson of security is "assume the worst possible thing happens, and then prepare for something worse than that". Such a back door (or, alternatively, legal prohibition of e2e encryption), dramatically compromises security simply by existing.

5) The tinfoil hat answer: The fact that they want it so badly tells me that they shouldn't have it

6) The current year answer: Do you want Donald Trump to personally have the ability to spy on anything that you, specifically, do? Y'know, if he's bored one day and wants to find something stupid to tweet? Do you want him to have that power? I don't
It kinda depends on the context. If your machine isn’t on the internet and is dedicated to running like a large computational fluid dynamics simulation or something, security isn’t as much of an issue because there is no untrusted code running on the machine and there’s no way for hackers to access it. If your machine is Google’s public DNS server, security is critical.

A 30-minute (minimum) time delay on a live stream is usually a legal requirement in most jurisdictions, enforced by the state gaming commission.

Most poker rooms also allow you to use your phone, as long are you're not a participant in the current hand. The alleged cheater (Mike Postle) is said to have hid his phone under the table, in his crotch area. Obviously, it's going to be pretty hard for other players and the dealer to check for that at that angle.

In the end, the no-phone rule in most poker rooms is going to be largely an honor-system based thing.

Edit:

Jason Somerville, who founded one of the most popular poker streaming companies (Run It Up), has described how stringently the Nevada Gaming Control Board inspects casinos that are hosting streams. E.g. multiple inspections of the streaming equipment, a requirement for a guard at the streaming booth, etc. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZS47DB94-vk). He mentioned that California does not seem to have the same level of on-site scrutiny.

Edit2:

On TwoPlusTwo (the popular poker forum), long time players at Stones Gambling Hall (where the alleged cheating took place) mentioned that their poker room did not institute a no-phone policy until sometime into the alleged cheater's crazy run of success.

What I'm saying is that video review doesn't make the judgements worse. It either illustrates the vagueness, or discovers a concrete fact that was missed during live action judgements.

Just because video review can't solve the Sorites Paradox (or any of the meta-paradoxes at the margins of the excluded middle), doesn't mean that it's useless. What replay review does do is mitigate the fallibility of human judges seeing the action from limited angles in real time.

> The student sleeping in said study area is a gross oversight by the librarian

No, it's not, thank you very much.

Not everyone has parents who can cut a check and send them to college. Some students work their asses off to pay for it.

Those students often schedule their classes such that they all land on Monday/Wednesday or Tuesday/Thursday. Often they leave home at 6AM and finish up on campus around 9/10PM (or later if they have "group" projects that need to be worked on). There are sometimes big slack spaces in the schedule for the classes they need. Most of them do homework in those times as their time is precious.

However, if they've actually gotten everything done, the most productive thing they can generally do is sleep as it is the thing they are always short on.

Admittedly I haven't seen a ton of his hands, but just watched a few, it's not that unusual. One used as 'proof' of cheating where he plays low connectors and hits a pair with a draw to a straight, then he bluffs off a passive player with an over-pair. If he actually had the info wouldn't he fold? Dunno, seems to me he's just a pro preying on fish. His play is pretty standard for good cash players. It's his opponents that seem unusually bad, but whom observers are overrating.
Where I live, the bus drivers will now only open the first door to inspect tickets, and then open all the back doors to let passengers out. I guess a lot of folks (especially kids) were not buying tickets. And the inspector doesn't have the authority to hold you or see your ID, so a lot of kids would just play dumb, ask to exit at the next stop or even argue with the inspector. I've even seen shoving and fights. Sometimes the bus driver would close all the doors and wait for the police to arrive. This of course aggravate everyone else on the bus. Other times they would have the police accompany the inspector.

It's also common to hear someone come in at the front and ask the bus driver to only go one stop without a ticket. I always thought it was a local or regional thing. Then I heard the same in a Toronto streetcar, on the other side of the world. A very surreal moment, it made me smile.

How privilege plays out in the Harvard admissions process
Tokyo manages this problem before it ever becomes a problem: you can't register your car to a Tokyo address unless you can prove you have a parking spot.

The point is that every layer helps. It's bad security practice to build a single layer of defense and call it a day. People always find a way through.

> because he demonstrates that TMA don't work in normal fights

Does not prove that at all. This particular person is obviously exceptional at what he is able to do. It's a big stretch to imply from his skill that 'TMA don't work in normal fights'.

What's a 'normal' fight anyway? A 'normal' fight is not in the basement of a gym where someone separates you and you bow and so on. For that matter a 'normal' fight is not an MMA fight. It is in an everyday situation maybe in a bar maybe by accident on the street. In that case there is a different set of rules and defense strategies.

One other thing. Everyone in discussing this is ignoring what a traditional fighter (or even this person) might do in a 'real' and uncontrolled situation in order to win if they had to and if their life depended on it. Maybe they would poke an eye out maybe they would break a leg or arm. Who knows.

Actually, in my entire ~10 years of having been a grad student and then researcher in theoretical physics, I didn't take out books from a library even once! I have yet to come across any material that is not available in electronic form (well, one very specialized book, which I did buy, cut off the spine, and ran through a ScanSnap)
And one of the fondest memories of childhood. I grew up in a small Texas town where I could check out things in grade school itself. While I had some mishaps like checking out Jaws at 6 years old and having nightmares thereafter, on the whole I think libraries are an uncontroversial good.

The size of the library matters less now.

What has been an issue lately is that the budget cuts do not hit the number of staff or budget for books -- they just shorten the hours -- often, again, in smaller Texas towns and no doubt elsewhere, cutting the hours down to as few as 5 days a week, with hours as short as 9 am to 5 pm or even 4 pm, so that it is often nearly impossible to get there after work or school.

> ineffective in empirical tests

My guess (per my other comment below) is that there are not any empirical tests for real life situations. Which person does better in a street fight or trying to defend themselves from an attacker (potentially using deadly force) when there is life at stake and no rules. And no person to separate the two fighters (like there were in the video or there are in MMA).
I think that code quality largely follows from discipline. We write unit tests even though it won't catch all of the potential defects, especially at service boundaries. We write integration tests even though they may not catch all of the defects of, for example, joe random giving garbage data to your public facing API. Tools like compiler warnings and static analysis alert us to the presence of potential issues. Heeding them at the outset is no more onerous in my ind than the previous two approaches. For me it's also part imitation. If you look at the high quality open source libraries available to you in languages that are statically typed, most of them have the compiler configured with warnings as errors. I don't think it's a coincidence. However, as stated previously, it also isn't enough on its own.
I guess you didn't look hard enough. Because the top comment is a lie:
