There's the general risks that they have your data and in future can change what they do it. They can be bought out in future like fitbit, which is obviously laughable at the moment but it's not the first time we've seen apple sink. Plus there's the general bluetooth privacy issues, although I think apple has a decent track record of protecting against this.

I'd be interested to know what and how much it shares info too and if it's safe against things like wifi MitM attacks.
We can’t observe things before recombination, a couple hundred thousand years after the Big Bang, when electrons bound to nuclei and photons stopped being constantly scattered.
This essay points out valid weaknesses in the lean startup approach, but really loses it's edge when it suggests that "social proofs" - such as the ability to hire highly paid talent and/or acquire funding - are better, higher priority signals of validation. Yes, customer interviews too early on a "guess" that is barely thought through is not an efficient use of resources. But trying to hire and raise is a worse alternatives.

Apple Pay is what changes this equation. It has your payment details and address already queued up. So you can click the size, click the topping, tap order and you’re done. It can literally be a 10 second exercise, as fast as looming up the number and dialing.

Why they don’t all have Apple Pay as an option, I do not know.

More to the point, that the web didn’t standardize UIs for payment and address information is probably a $100 billion mistake at least - in terms of what it costs everyone to do it their own way, and in lost time in having to constantly fill in the same form again and again.
That story is about Fitbit, which I don't have.

That sounds like an enormous burden.
I think you'd do it in a way that you can verify your own vote, but nobody else's, the government can see all the votes, but not who voted what, so they're private. Then you'd have some kind of confirmation system (e.g. paper receipts which are kept at the polling stations and statistically sampled to look for irregularities. You wouldn't have to check every receipt to be sure there was no funny business to a high degree of certainty.
Well, statistics hasn’t changed much has it?

Diffing means computing the longest common subsequence (LCS); the edit script is everything that's not part of the LCS. The proposed algorithm greedily finds a matching element. However it may be that it would be better to skip this element, and not incorporate it into your sequence.

Consider the following sequences (here each letter represents a line).

AAAB
BAAA

Where the first one is "left" and the second one is "right".

The LCS is AAA. The minimal edit script from left to right is:

1. Insert B at beginning.

2. Delete B at end.

The proposed O(N) algorithm finds B as the first matching line, and thereby exhaust `left`. So it finds the common subsequence of just "B" and its edit script is:

1. Delete 3 As at beginning

2. Insert 3 As at end

which is longer.

This is basically the issue. If a single line from the bottom of left is present at the top of right, it will fast-forward all the way through left and fail to match anything else from right. The hard part with diffing isn't finding differences, it's deciding whether they're inserts, edits, or deletions.

I meant it does allow banks to do it. And from what I've read banks can arrange a FED deposit for a non-bank, charging a few bps of profit for the service.

Also you can always just buy short term treasuries. There's even an ETF for that ($BIL) which charges 14 bps.

But yeah no chance that a big "fuck compliance" scheme like Tether could easily pull it off.

Nope! That's related to the Longest Common Substring Problem I think, I mentioned it in another comment [0]. Though I have a feeling you could find the shortest edit script with a few easy tweaks, I might check it out. I imagine the tweaks are going to make the the difference between O(N) and O(ND) though.

The problem I had was that I just wanted a simple diff! It's for HTML rendering and not ultra complex at that: usually folks are only changing a few lines at a time, max, between any re-render.

> It would be easy enough for Facebook to classify ads as political/non-political and for political ads have more scrutiny over what they decide to air.

I doubt it is as easy as you think because not all political ads look like "vote for foo!"

They will evolve to look like governor foo paid company xyz which sells home security products to make an ad about how unsafe the country is...while governor foo runs on a platform all about reducing crime rates...etc

>* unless it’s merely a catastrophic nuclear exchange.*

That's exactly what the next great war will look like, because you just nuke enemy formations and flotillas. Then you move on to nuking their cities when you realize they did the same to you and you no longer have an army or navy to fight with. Like I said, maybe a matter of hours. Days if we get lucky. No way it would last 2 weeks though.

That's kind of why our entire discussion is irrelevant. It would never happen. You don't really fight against nukes, you just die.

But for the sake of our hypothetical discussion:

As far as sending helicopters to Minnesota, those better be fairly long range helicopters. And then what's your attrition getting there? That's on top of the attrition getting enough helicopters for an invasion force into position to even be launched. Texas, you just take the attrition getting into position, but the beaches you can hit easily and with everything at your disposal without taking much additional attrition.

Minnesota, North Dakota, all that northern stuff is just bad business. Take the coastlines, and starve the midwest out, that's the best course of action. Going to Minnesota to fight through to Washington is just really bad business. If you can't even handle Texas, Minnesota will literally freeze you to death.
Thank you very much for your response!
At the end of the day, all software engineers are moving, transforming and persisting bits.

Languages abstract bits to types. But, there is no universal langauge for storage, retreival, front-end rendering and middle-layer logic, so engineers have to fall back to sort of thinking in bits again as they interact with various systems.

Protos are Google's fairly successful attempt at raising the abstraction level to object / document so that programmers can store, retrieve, transform objects at all layers.
You obviously don't use it for tracking fitness then.
The only hard thing to remember in ipv6 is the prefix that my ISP gives me, but it's mostly irrelevant. My DHCP6 gives out a range of ::0550:0000 to ::0550:ffff, I chose 0550 randomly, and I use a dynamic DNS updater to keep my hostnames up to date.

It's only marginally harder than ipv4.

Wikipedia also does it, I just noticed.
This is because hash tables resize when they are filled with too many elements. Assuming a suitably good hash function, this gives O(1) lookup w.h.p. and insertion stays O(1) amortized. The mathematics of hash collision probabilities is factored into the resizing thresholds.

Many standard library implementations of hash tables (such as rust's) also include special hash functions which are salted with random values to prevent DoS attacks which create large numbers of hash collisions.

I think one of the main issues in startups is building cross-platform products as quickly as possible, so I think this is why some companies like Google work on some new technologies/methodologies like Kotlin

But there's a big issue, most of the times founders are not programmers and looking for some codeless solutions

And I think there're not any countable solutions in the market. The somewhat countable solution that exists is Bubble.io but even Bubble has some limitations and even issues but has a very good UI interface and logic behind

I bike for about 60 minutes in Manhattan most days. I'd guess that I have to slam on my brakes or swerve away from a pedestrian maybe 2-3 times per day on average, usually because they stepped into the bike lane from the sidewalk while looking down at their phones. It's so common it barely registers. While I am very aware of cars, they rarely do anything surprising besides occasionally opening a door into my lane. I've certainly never seen a car go from a dead stop to suddenly darting into my lane against the light, the way pedestrians do. So while I acknowledge that I'm much more likely to be killed by a car, I spend a lot time avoiding pedestrians.

The problems are less that they don't have armor piercing rounds (which they don't), but that the shell only travels ~870 meters per second and only weighs ~20 kg. The projectile doesn't have the momentum to go through more than a few inches of armor. The British 15"/42 from WW2 had a muzzle velocity not much lower, ~750 mps, and weighed ~870 kg. That could penetrate about 10" of armor at 25,000+ yards or 12.5 miles.

The real change would be the ~20 rounds per minute rate of fire plus modern fire control.
Since the problem has already been resolved, I'll go on a slight tangent and mention there are some very interesting probabilistic diffing algorithms invented by the bio-informatics people.

May be a strategic move by FB to cultivate relationships in the political ecosystem. FB doesn’t seem to have quite the free market clout it used to, and will likely rely on these relationships for many reasons in the future. By giving politicians a free pass, the election losers will blame FB, but the winners will credit them and be in a position of power to perpetuate the system that got them there. It’s a win-win for FB.
Here is a fun one:

https://www.cs.cmu.edu/~tom/pubs/science2008.pdf -- "Predicting Human Brain Activity Associated with the Meanings of Nouns"

"We present a computational model that predicts the functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) neural activation associated with words for which fMRI data are not yet available. This model is trained with a combination of data from a trillion-word text corpus and observed fMRI data associated with viewing several dozen concrete nouns. Once trained, the model predicts fMRI activation for thousands of other concrete nouns in the text corpus,with highly significant accuracies over the 60 nouns for which we currently have fMRI data."

This is a frequently cited paper - I stumbled across it recently as a drive-by mention in this blog post about word embeddings: http://www.offconvex.org/2015/12/12/word-embeddings-1/

Anyway - totally tangential to the topic of the OP. But maybe some interesting food for thought.

I believe this proposal to be worse than the current state of affairs. I would not delegate censorship of what I may read or watch to a non-elected political body, and doubly so to one which skews >90% to one political party.

> Another option is FEC, or some other independent body, overseeing political ads.

Once again, I do not understand this rational! I assume you do not like how one party in particular is acting, but you would delegate that very same party the power to oversee the censors over all online electoral ads?
The thinking probably goes "eventually, enough people will either want their money back or a positive ROI on their investment that they'll pull out of crypto and the price will stabilize around people who actually intend to use it".

How interesting because from my perspective (a woman) I feel like I'm seeing significantly fewer products that are marketed to/cater to traditional notions of femininity and instead there seems to be a trend towards inclusivity.

Tom Ford, Bvlgari, Calvin Klein, and Chanel all have uni-sex fragrances now. Chanel's is called "Boy" and CK's is very inclusively named "all". And there's a _huge_ trend in high-end cosmetics that makeup has no gender. CoverGirl even has a "CoverBoy" spokesmodel now.
