See, if you ask me - I have a Masters from Columbia - it helps to be very focused before beginning. I specialized in Networks and had a good relationship with my advisor going in.

What I would recommend you also do is talk to the faculty at your school. This way you can cultivate relationships with professors before going in and explore. CS professors usually have research groups that meet frequently.

The way I see it, Master's is a very specialized degree beyond just undergrad and you can be exposed to many different topics of CS research - which is the fun of higher education beyond a BS.
I saw the oil companies buy up all the independent fertilizer retailers in the seventies at a considerable premium. Less than ten years later they sold them back to the original owners for pennies on the dollar. I had the owners tell me they made more money from the sale and repurchase than they ever made retailing fertilizer.

Makes me wonder if the same thing will happen in radio. What's to stop a corporate raider from scooping up one or both of these companies then breaking them apart and selling the stations individually or in groups? Bet they could double their money in a relatively short period of time.

> What's funny is... whenever you call an FA (financial advisor) in a moment of panic... they answer always is "don't act emotionally and stick to the plan". Maybe a real "robo-advisor" should just be a chatbot that responds to any message it gets with "HODL".

My robo-advisor did, during the giant tumble the markets took during the beginning of this pandemic, put up a message on the site & send a pro-active communication saying, essentially, to HODL. (In more eloquent terms, of course.) I presume a human had a hand in it, ofc., as they likely understood the fear most people would feel looking at the graph.

If you know any bluetooth headsets that don't have similar quirks to what the post talks about, let me know, because otherwise I'm thinking this is Bluetooth and it wont get better until we ditch it.

Quirks of Bose AE2 that I'm dealing with:

1) Switching to the low fidelity Bluetooth headset mode when the mic is activated. Why does this still exist? I'd be happier if they just didn't add a mic if they can't support better quality audio.
2) The headset nominally supports connecting to two devices, except there's no mixing. One channel is primary and will override the other. Annoying when you're on a meeting on a laptop and a notification arrives on your phone and the audio cuts out to play the notification tone.
3) To add, sometimes Apple devices just play silence? Meaning, the secondary device will get muted and it will take a minute for you to figure out why it's not playing. There's no user control over this primary/secondary aspect.
4) Oh, yes, I use three devices daily which results in a lot of manual switching.
5) The devices or the headphones don't always automatically connect for some reason. It's not clear either if it's from me manually switching them or what..
6) Endless issues with Spotify "Failing to play song" when the audio output switches.
7) Not bluetooth, but this headset gives the "Low power, charge me!" chime when the battery is low, even when plugged in and charging.
Would they be happy with "Knowingly infecting someone or non disclosure of positive infection status during possible transmission activities is a jailable offense" for COVID?

Ultimately these interventions, mandates and other public health measures, which wind up as a mix of education, awareness and mandates or laws become a balancing act between personal inconvenience and public good; so the work done for HIV is different from the intervention for covid-19 for that and other reasons.

Wonder if you could leverage Bitcoin farms for this.
Illegal search for example, you will know what happened but evidence is inadmissible.

So even though you know what happened you can't technically prove it as your proof cannot be taken into account.
They do, actually. Charleston Road Registry (an entity owned by Google which also operates other TLDs like .APP, .DOG, and .FOO) is the registry; Google is the sole registrar. As far as I'm aware, all of the private TLDs operate on some variant of this model.

But it goes beyond just having those two distinct entities -- any ICANN TLD is expected to follow a set of operating policies (e.g. domain registration, renewal, transfer, expiry, and redemption; dispute resolution; WHOIS verification... etc) which is fundamentally incompatible with ENS.
Yes, but the problem becomes who can evaluate it? Inevitably another AI system because of the complexity. And who has the most powerful AI? And what is their agenda? Ah! another backdoored algorithm.
But the real issue is the loss of confidence in the “blockchain technology”. If bitcoin is cracked the cryptomania scam will be done for a generation.

In most of Europe, depositing cash rarely happens unless you're a business owner depositing the day's earnings. Withdrawals is easier from an ATM.

Many banks require you to call ahead if you want to make a large cash withdrawal, and if you make a large deposit you need to be able to document where you got the money from or had the authorities called on you.

Thank you. Gemini is also a crypto exchange so I went into this thinking it was another article trying to justify Web3.
> It ends when the the threat subsides.

You just skipped past their entire point, after helping build it (mandates to protect "society" indeed). Society will never be completely safe. Government has a tendency to hang on forever to powers gained during emergencies.
Ironically, there are two current projects competing for the Gemini name: the Winklevi's bitcoin exchange (indubitably named after their twinship) and the more-than-a-protocol for a no-frills version of the World Wide Web, which is what TFA is talking about.
Current architectures aren't ready to operate enough gates fast/accurate[1] enough to attempt sustained (i.e. longer than milliseconds) protection of quantum data. So making more qubits would not be very useful until we can make them talk to each other.

[1]: Qubits are always decohering, so fast and accurate are closely linked.

It's not mentioned on the website, but, empirically, at least, I see the generated proof file is different if you find the same treasure multiple times. That means if someone snoops my machine and tries to use my proof to claim that they know the answer, I can spot it as a stolen proof. However, without revealing the treasure, I wouldn't be able to prove that they stole it, because it is equally possible that I stole it from them.

I wonder if there could be a mechanism for cryptographically incorporating an owner's identification into the ZKP so that I could prove that it was stolen in the above scenario? The ZKP would need to remain publicly usable so that others can verify that it's a valid proof without me, but some aspect of it would be unlockable only by my private key so that I can demonstrate that I hold said key. Does such a mechanism exist?
This is a good story for the modern age. Not so much because of the technical achievements of the protagonist, but more as a warning for the perpetrators/victims of class warfare in the world today.

It's not that they "seek healthcare". But that they expect to have critical resources like ICU beds available to them (and therefore, denied to others) so they can enjoy their "freedom" (to ignore common sense) -- that folks take issue with.

What's wrong with not having TLS? If it's just for hobbiests to share text documents, why include a TLS layer?
Agree! There’s a lot of code you don’t see behind a simple SELECT statement. I would also say that when writing SQL you start thinking on the end result, describing what you want to get and not so much how you want it done. This is also part of the declarative nature of SQL.
> The power of an executive order to control the behavior of the executive branch is untestedly unlimited.

"Untestedly" being the important part. There is no practical limit on the orders that can be issued but actually enforcing those rules on anyone outside the executive branch is a different matter. Also, you skipped over the parts of EO 2021-27505 where (a) it required declaring a (rather dubious IMHO) state of emergency, (b) the sanctions were previously authorized by Congress in the Fentanyl Sanctions Act, and (c) all the sanctions applied to "foreign persons", not citizens. There is no state of emergency, sanctions were not authorized by Congress, and you want to sanctions citizens of the United States and locally-owned businesses.
Unless you have 130M physical qubits*

*) https://avs.scitation.org/doi/10.1116/5.0073075
Decoherence is the answer. Veeeeery long story short, qubits have to be isolated from the world as much as possible to maintain their "magical quantum properties". Decoherence is when those ideal conditions break, and the qubits no longer behave as needed for the quantum computer to work. The more qubits you have, thet harder it gets to fend off the inteference from the outside world that decoheres the qubits.

> once you have ignition + confinement, Q no longer matters as you no longer have to heat the plasma to sustain it

Assuming immutable containment and continuous fusion. In reality, combinations of heat dissipation, cycling (to permit material replacement and/or cooling) and even powering the computers and magnets subtracts from the theoretical power output.

In indirect-drive inertial confinement, the NIF drops a Hohlraum containing a fuel pellet and then does things to cause it to fuse. That's the burn. The pellet then falls, a new one is released, and the lasers pulse anew. The energy from the first burn may provide power for the second pulse, but in between is a lot of ground to be lost and thus purchase for Q.
I think the point is that the only work that matters is work that will improve the customer experience in some way. That could be infrastructure/stability work, or that could be visible front-end work. Not sure how you're using the word "hidden", but that's my reading from this discussion. Either of those things are important/valued by management probably. But none of that should imply or require micromanagement in a high-trust engineering org.

My, highly imperfect, complete layman understanding is that the challenge has nothing to do with the "manufacture" of qubits, but rather getting them to work in the same computer without interfering with each other. I believe it gets harder with each qubit, not easier.
I can totally understand your frustration. It is way too expensive for certificates and costs have gone off the rails.

Yes, browsers have removed the green trust bar.

Yes, ordinary users have to click on small buttons and manually check against different conventions used by CAs (naming, extensions, OID variants).

However, saying that EV provides no extra security not entirely true. At least if we look outside the end-users of a website.

It is also used for:
- High security applications that have to ensure their services are trustworthy
- As confidence/trust factors in cyber threat intelligence (if you don't want to get blocked on a false positive, EV is your friend)
- In domain name research when trying to establish ownership
- In machine learning models as an indicator of verifiable trust
- Protects against website copying used in phishing campaigns

I'm focusing on HTTPS here as EV is much more relevant in PKI systems.

EV should be affordable, relevant, have good UX and provide identity security for end-users of browsers, but it is not. Until that changes, most website owners should not buy it.

The thing is, hospitals aren't overwhelmed. Sure, maybe a handful in the most metropolitan of areas, but should the whole country pay for that? I don't think so. Of course, the news makes it seem like hospitals around the country are overwhelmed, but that's just agenda-based sensationalism, and should be taken with a grain of salt.
Suddenly you can't trust anything you're being served as there are so many endpoints you could be MITM'd at. Reading a text about some experience someone had? Snippets from that text could have been replaced if you are not using any cryptographic protocol what so ever.

> Keeping the country shut down perpetually is an extreme cost that we are continually incurring.

Which country is this that is perpetually shut down? Even the most mask and vaccine forward (ergo "shut down perpetually") parts of the US are pretty operational. Offices are open as are restaurants and schools Disneyland is packed.

We've learned how to keep society running during the pandemic: vaccines, masks, testing, and occasionally heightened indoor occupancy restrictions during large waves to keep hospitals from being overwhelmed.

That's nothing at all like a "perpetual shutdown".

I really don’t see how you could reasonably talk with someone that isn’t vaccinated and convince them to get vaccinated by calling them stupid. It’s demeaning and completely dismissive of their apprehensions, fears, or any other reason they haven’t been vaccinated.

I would likely find myself much more reluctant to get vaccinated if the person attempting to convince me is calling me an idiot and just shouting that i’m wrong instead of providing me data on the subject, and being honest enough to openly discuss the subject.

A small amount of humility and respect go a very long way.

This seems entirely non-sequitur. We don't have condom mandates because there is no practical way to enforce them. We don't have mandates that you need to wear a mask in your bedroom, either. If we allowed sex in stores and restaurants and didn't have condom mandates for people having sex in stores and restaurants, you'd have a point, but we don't allow sex in public. Porn performers don't have condom mandates, but they do have a mandate requiring them to show proof of a recent negative test before they're allowed to perform. I suspect many people you think are level-headed would be entirely supportive of legally mandated condom usage for non-cohabitating partners if there was any remotely realistic way to do it.

And, of course, we do have an absolute shit ton of mandated vaccines, so mandating one for Covid is not at all novel. It's even already a condition of federal employment in a lot of cases. If you're serving in the state department or military or something where you need to go overseas to places where anthrax or malaria are risks, you need to get vaccinated, and that's been normal and in-bounds for half a century.
I have a lot of fun with Gemini! Since I couldn't find a good static gmi -> html converter that I liked for my website, I built my own. It works great and is pretty simple! This is one thing that people miss out on - I can actually build things on top of gemini / gemtext because it is so simple.
The public policy responses to this pandemic would make a whole lot more sense if intramuscular (humoral) vaccination actually prevented (or even significantly mitigated) the spread of sars-cov-2. Unfortunately humoral vaccination only starts the B cell to plasma cells training and generation of igG antibodies in the body serum to protect internal organs. Other immune compartments like the upper respiratory mucosa are not protected by serum igG antibodies. And the T cells trained by intramuscular vaccination are not tissue resident in the upper respiratory where they are needed to stop infection. They just do a pretty darn good job at preventing serious disease.

I wish governments of the world would heavily invest in the current and future intranasal sars-cov-2 boosters to prevent spread and follow up on the strong base of intramuscular body protection. I might not even be opposed to mandating intranasal vaccinations since they would stop spread. But this? This doesn't make a lot of scientific sense.

> I know some overseas Chinese people who (not being raised in China) never learned pinyin and prefer the stroke method.

I knew someone who used wubi in preference to pinyin input. She grew up in Guangzhou until age 16, so it wasn't an issue of not learning pinyin. The problem, for her, was that she had no way to know the correct pinyin for a character, since she didn't distinguish between a bunch of sounds that are distinct in pinyin.
