I think in this case the fact that there are no false negatives means that the low false positive rate is enough to infer that a positive result implies high likelihood of actually being malicious.

You can reason roughly as follows:

P[ pos | mal ] = 1 (no false negatives)

= P[ pos /\ mal ] = P[ mal ] (Bayes)

A low false positive rate means that:

P[ pos | ¬ mal ] ~= 0 (low false positive rate)

P[ pos /\ ¬ mal ] / P[ ¬ mal ] ~= 0

(P[ pos ] - P[ pos /\ mal])/(1 - P[mal]) ~= 0

(P[ pos ] - P[ mal ])/(1 - P[ mal ]) ~= 0

From this fraction we can conclude:

P[ pos ] - P[ mal ] ~= 0

Returning back to a the likelihood of being malicious given a positive result:

P[ mal | pos ]

= P[ mal /\ pos ] / P[pos]

= P[ mal ] / P[ pos ]

~= 1.0
This woman was getting alimony. This country is so broken. She was not poor or homeless unless she wanted to call herself that. Woman in the US are a privileged class and they often use that privilege to gain more power and sympathy. This story is a joke, this country is fucked.
My first real computer after my BBC Micro B - oh those were simple times :)
Always wondered why a machine like the Archimedes didn't catch on quite like the Amiga did in the enthusiast/demoscene/etc. space. Both were certainly revolutionary for similar reasons. Was it the more limited reach outside of the UK? The focus on educational markets?
Search and rescue in the USA is mostly done by the Civil Air Patrol, which almost solely uses fixed-wing aircraft.
This was done in mice. It would be nice if they had included that in the original title. Fasting seems to always have amazing advantages in mice, but we need more studies done on humans. There seem to be advantages for humans as well but the results are usually not as impressive and we need more data.
If one has no options and they treat the other party with an acknowledged lack of options, the poorly treated party can undermine the dominate party through publicity and peer shaming. There are many options for the individual trained in negotiation, and walking away for other options is the most primitive and least effective maximization strategy.

>>"Those are the concerns I wanted Stephanie to at least pay lip service to, but she conveniently didn't even mention them. "

She, and other MMT proponents, do it in other places. Obviously this was only an introduction. If you are really interested there is now a full textbook [1].

Your questions make me think that you don't understand the basic of what MMT is saying.

>>"[..]deficit gets so high that it's obvious to the people buying treasuries you can't pay the interest"

All the point of MMT is that governments that use its own floating currency don't need anybody do finance them. They could just spend without selling any treasuries. The only limit to that spending is inflationary and selling treasuries don't reduce the danger of inflation. This is not a belief, it's just a description of how the system works today.

For instance, now all the main governments in the world are applying stimulus at the same time. Where is the money coming from? Where is the inflation in Japan? And where the Yens from the increase in the Japanese public debt in the last 30 years come from?

>>"explain away stagflation from the 70s"

Frequently, problems of inflation comes from supply problems. Anyway looking to the QE programs, the current stimulus programs or Japan the last 30 years, should be obvious, by now, that monetarism is a fallacy.

That doesn't mean that you can't spend too much in the economy, but there are frequently other causes. In the 70's you have oil crisis, the Vietnam war, etc..

"[..] at some point the interest burden of the debt itself requires more monetary expansion "

A government with its own currency don't need to keep the fallacy of selling debt to "the markets", but if they choose to do it, and the debt is owned by the Central Bank, the money of the interest goes back to the government.

But I think the opposite is also true for mortgages. So it's relevant for many people.

At least where I live, they increased the mortgage rate quickly when the government increased the rate, but I still haven't seen much of the decrease. Only way to get it is to threaten to switch or actually switch bank. A passive mortgage lender is getting ripped off.
I think traditional banks, which apparently used to have much better rates even with all the expenses, have found that people are perfectly willing to give them their money practically for free. The newer online competeritors need something to draw in costumers.
Not really similar. She was getting paid alimony (FREE MONEY FROM HER EX HUSBAND). She choose to live the way she did and had no need to work at all.

Women are a privileged class in America and there is almost no comparison between the lives of men and women any longer because of it.
I do incident response for a living and the general idea of his article was accurate. His message is that many candidates lack the technical capability to do the job but its easy to acquire those skills on your own using resources from the web if you are really interested in it.

He even added a disclaimer that he's not a technical expert.
Thanks for the allsides link. If it's what they claim that's a good one.
You got it.

I think it's a mistake to divide them in terms of roles but it makes sense to to divide them in terms of technology. From a security and performance point of view, it makes sense to think about front end and back end as separate but there are significant benefits (from an API design and application design PoV) which can be gained from having the same people work on both the front end and back end.
From my limited experience, they're good at offering an enticing savings rate but a year or two later will whack it down close to nil. They're playing the same game as utilities and insurance, after a year or two your benefits shrink or your costs go up.

Examples, had a 2% interest rate "ISA"-like account and it went down to 0.01%. Home insurance doubles in 10 years through lack of changing it.

Switching all our services yearly is a time suck and they know it.
The problem is that most people don't want to change banks.

If changing your bank to get a better savings rate took 15 minutes and had no other consequences, banks would be updating their rates by the second to beat one another. But it doesn't. If your mortgage, credit cards, car loan, etc, are all with the same bank then switching your bank account only just to get 0.1% higher interest is a huge hassle for little benefit. Especially if you don't have much money sitting in a savings account- even with $5000 in your account, a 0.1% difference is $5/year.

So what banks are actually competing over is the people who happen to be shopping around for a new bank- something most people do only a handful of times in their life. Meanwhile, leaving rates low improves the banks bottom line. Short term vs long term tradeoffs.

In short: banks have little reason to raise savings account interest rates regardless of what their central bank gives them.
Price point, perhaps? The Amiga only became a big success for bedroom coders once the Amiga 500 was released, after all.
Because it is on topic, aka good hackers would find it interesting?
The common miscommunication here is that people perceive the statement as saying "psychedelics are the ONLY way of learning certain things", whereas what they should perceive is "psychedelics are ONE (very efficient) way of learning certain things".

The thing is that for people whose normal life does not include pursuing knowledge and understanding just for the sake of it (and I think this might be most people), it's unlikely that they'd end up with the right perspective shift through some other circumstance.

Acorn also dabbled with a UNIX called PanOS, for the 16032 second processor for the Beeb.
I find it very easy to understand where parent commenter is coming from. Even though this may not be obvious, this is very much a competition. A competition for attention, for emotional support, or simply for validation. And when you've experienced the neglect, being ignored by society and generally the experience of homelessness or any other terrible circumstances, and see someone with better circumstances getting support and help, it should naturally lead to a feeling of anger, unfairness (whether conscious or not).

This is what's happening here. Also, all the comments complaining of "whataboutism", "not true scotsman" and so on show a profound lack of empathy with this commenter. You're complaining that this commenter is not showing empathy to OP, when no-one is showing any empathy to his (or other people's) harsher circumstances.
If you think Reuters is not unpartisan, your concept is flawed.

Most mainstream news about the US: Reuters, ABC News, USA Today, BBC, Wall Street Journal (News not Editorial),

They absolutely should. What makes this arrest unconstitutional?

[edit] read more of the twitter thread. It is speculative. If the speculation is proven then I agree the federal police were wrong in this instance.

The real question is how RM elbowed their way into the UK education market, displacing Acorn, with their shonky Nimbus machine. To this day I believe it must have been backhanders.

A Distributed Architecture for Interactive Multiplayer Games [pdf]
In reality of course, first class passengers were more than twice as likely to survive as third class ones.

I'm reasonably sure that's because the gates to third class were locked to keep them off the decks and not because first class passengers were successfully bribing staff to let them onto the life boats. So, for me, it doesn't diminish the power of the scene.

The original piece that this was based upon was written at a time when my bank account was locked up for a month by creditors. I was homeless in downtown San Diego, surrounded by modern wealth, and the only cash I had access to was change found on the street and sidewalk as I walked around during the day.

A similar vignette would be a story I remember reading about a plane crash where they ended up burning large quantities of cash to try to avoid freezing to death in the snow-covered mountains.

I was enduring something extreme. It was a tremendous head fuck and I was doing my best to wrap my mind around it. It wasn't easy to come up with similar examples from literature to which other people might relate at all and people tend to think I'm exaggerating when I talk about the facts of my life. They think I'm being a drama queen to state things that happen to be true for me and try to convey what it's like to experience it.

I remember being in a women's day shelter and someone else who was homeless was waving about a five dollar bill and I had no money and no means to get any money and I don't know how to describe how bizarre that was that even other homeless people were so much more comfortably well off than I was that they didn't feel some need to hide that five dollar bill and protect it from the other poor people around them.

And it's like "Just how can anyone in the US be so extremely cut off from money like that in the midst of so much wealth?" But there I was.

And I'm not the only person who is invisibly cut out. Plenty of people can walk past the table where America lays a feast for some, but not others, and they aren't invited to partake and if they touch it they will go to jail for theft. A lot of those other people are People of Color and they serve the feast, but aren't allowed to eat any of it.

The barriers that keep people out are weird and "magical" in that they are invisible and intangible in certain important ways and they run deep. And all these years later, I still don't know how to speak of it effectively as is clearly demonstrated by the numerous scoffing comments in this very discussion.
Explicit "I told you so" is a bad idea, but I've found that you can often guide people to it with other questions. For example:

"How might this have been avoided?"

"What lessons can we learn from this?"

"What else could we have done instead?"

As the answers to these are explored, some people might realize that the approach or principle you had earlier espoused was worth keeping in mind next time. They might even associate that idea with you, but that's not really important. The important thing is that the next time people are about to same mistake (which almost always happens), your objection will have the weight of shared experience and analysis behind it.

BTW, this is an example of a general approach I've found useful. If you can lead people to the realization that their original solution is not the best one, they'll view you as a collaborator rather than a competitor. Emotional reactions matter. Too few will ever admit that their original idea was wrong or that the better idea was yours, but they might well realize it themselves. Over time and repetition, they'll become more likely to listen. It's kind of a shame that this extra work is so often necessary to overcome others' ego, but ... well, it is.

Thank you for writing. Please don't be offended by what I am going to say.

So, what you write about yourself is only proving gp's point. Amount of social support you receive is on par with 1-st world countries. Which of course doesn't mean you are not poor and your situation isn't tough. In most ways, you are not priveleged.

It is just another dimension of poor that gp is talking about. Where watermelon is not a cost-effective measure, but a luxury.

Sounded strange and offensive, but your perspective sure sounds strange to others.
Picasso potentially made more paintings than Bob Ross, but his paintings are still regarded as having a high value. Some are quite good, but I’ve seen a few where if it didn’t have “Picasso” attached to it, it’d be in a Goodwill for $2.

Bob Ross paintings are fine. They don’t blow my mind, but most art museums I’ve been to have scenery paintings making up more than half their collection, and most aren’t half as good as anything Bob Ross could paint in one episode.
Agree, it almost highlights how bad others descriptions can be sometimes. I mean the article makes it feel like such a simple idea given how many words are spoken about it.

I wonder if the key is in quickly grounding the core abstractions with concrete meaning early on, that way your mind quickly has a model of "things" to operate on before attempting to build up the behaviour with more abstract description.

Many descriptions stay in the abstract too long without anything to attach it to for the uninitiated... in which case you either persevere and eventually it clicks and all the relationships fall into place - or you give up out of disinterest.

I've noticed this when explaining things to others, especially non-technical people, when explaining seemingly very simple things, attempting to describe them in multiple ways and failing, and then realizing they need clarification of the "what", after which explanation is easy - sometimes you are blind to it when you already know "what" and already have the mental model so you jump straight into how and why.

Just the idea of a Linux phone! Use what you know and love, same code, same quirks, same features (man, how I hate feature inconsistency).

This is why it felt weird to me that there were special distributions at first, but it seems like we're finally mainlining (pretty standard Debian, Arch, Manjaro), which is nice.

It seems like GNOME shell is also being adapted, which is exactly what I wanted to see. Hopefully some other DEs and large apps will follow.
I don’t see how health / sanitation law is related to the discussion.
I guess, the question here is: How to group tech to one solution?

Take Auth0, for example they give you a full stack solution for the purpose "authentication".

But, yeah, the more low-level your purpose, the more technology specific a solution you will be.
Yes but these are automated, so they could be programmed to stay within X minutes of backup landing sites at all times, and altitudes to reach them easily.

Already done, and I find the entire thing entirely wanting.

That's the thing about conspiracy theories, they differ from reality because reality is consistent; conspiracies are merely internally consistent. They break down in the light of real world evidence. A man threatened people in a pizza parlor, demanding to see the pedophile ring running out of the basement of that building. The building had no basement. It would be amusing, or pitiful, if he hadn't had a gun to do the threatening. A theory doesn't deserve a second chance after something as foolish as that.

I wish you the best of luck out there, and I hope you get out of the grip of this 4chan-originated delusion. I wish I could help you, but on this side of the facts, the whole thing is so ridiculous that I don't understand how anybody sees it hang together.

> so I suspect you've failed to prove anything about Bloom's original paper

In Bloom's original paper "Space/Time Trade-offs in Hash Coding with Allowable Errors", Bloom proposes multiple variants of these filter structures, and it is true that these variants do have different behaviours.

However, the expression cited as Bloom's bound (equations 16/17 in the paper) are specifically about a data structure (he refers to it as method 2) that works exactly like the standard definition of a Bloom filter (Knuth's version). In this sense, our result holds for Bloom's bound.

For reference, Bloom's description of method 2 is as follows:

> Method 2 competely gets away from the conventional concept of organizing the hash area into cells. The hash area is considered as N individual addressable bits, with addresses 0 through N - 1. It is assumed that all bits in the hash area are first set to 0. Next, each message in the set to be stored is hash coded into a number of distinct bit addresses, say al, a2, ..., ad. Finally, all d bits addressed by al through ad are set to 1.

> To test a new message a sequence of d bit addresses, say al, a2, .. , ad, is generated in the same manner as for storing a message. If all d bits are 1, the new message is accepted. If any of these bits is zero, the message is rejected.

Clearly this method describes the conventional version of the Bloom filter.
Calling everything an antipattern is an antipattern.
that's right. there is no difference between free will and the illusion of free will.

there's a joke about a man who dies and goes to heaven where he meets God. God tells him he can ask one question and get a true answer.

The man asks, did we have free will?

No, says God. Did you miss it?
Thank you! I have fixed it now :)

That is putting a lot of faith into an administration that has shown countless times to not care about fairness, to have acted in severely bad faith against civilians and to have courted and outright worked together with far-right movements. It has also aggressively fired anyone who has dared question these policies from the inside.

These are all signs of an authoritarian power grab.

In addition to that, you make a number of arguments with absolutely no evidence to back them up. You claim that the arrests are public record and completely on the level. There is no evidence of that. You claim that they arrest on valid probable cause. There is no evidence of that.

When people in military uniforms with no markings roll up in unmarked rental vans and refuse to identify themselves before taking away random protestors, that is a deliberate scare tactic and fear campaign.

As protestors, you do not know whether you are being taken by federal officers or by a far-right militia. You do not know where you will be taken or when (or if) you will be released again.

This is completely deliberate, and designed to instill a fear of protesting government injustice. There is a very good point to be made that this is a gross violation of the first amendment.
During my degree, I had a crossover unit for cryptography. The unit was a mix of computer science majors, and also a new "cyber security" degree the university had recently started. This was a third year unit.

Holy-moly, did the cyber security students flop from the first class. It was immediately clear that the new "degree" they had signed up for had not given them even elementary math skills in comp. sci related fields (discrete math, linear algebra). A few of them put in the hard yards, studied about a year's worth of math and did okay. But the majority flopped out hard and failed.

The "degree" was dropped a year later. Poor kids.
