Their relationship is NOT well-documented during the founding stages of google. There is the MDDS grant and the analysis by some people that what the MDDS program was aiming for was almost precisely what pagerank+spider offered.

My own analysis and that of others would note that MDDS was not in fact interested in a web search engine - they were interested in ways to identify individuals online.

Google's services did indeed provide this, but not at the beginning - that had to wait for as much as 14 years later, and came about through google becoming the utterly dominant search engine. But that wasn't part of Brin's research, and I'm not sure that he & Page even recognized at the outset what "the set of things searched for by someone" would even mean. In fact, I see no evidence that the intelligence or law enforcement agencies saw that either, certainly not in 1995, when frankly the web was the domain of a bunch of tech first-adopters and appeared quite unlikely to become the platform it was by, say, 2012. Very, very few people saw the potential of the web in 1995, and the idea that intelligence agencies had people far out ahead of CS (and physics!) departments is laughable to me.

I was also the #2 employee at amzn, and the amount of crap I read where people speculate about what was being said, thought and done at that company during its earliest days is laughable. I have no doubt in my mind that early google is similarly serendipitous: a hacker/grad student project, partially funded by MDDS, that mushroomed into initially an insanely powerful tool for web users and because of this then became a system of intense interest to intelligence and law enforcement agencies.

Edit: As a random selection, here's the first name on the top headline: https://www.nytimes.com/by/joe-rennison

I have been a financial journalist for more than a decade. I began my career at a magazine called Risk, digging into the details of legislation introduced after the 2008 financial crisis, from rules around how much capital banks should hold to changes in the market for derivatives that had helped inflate the credit bubble that led to the Great Recession. I moved to The Financial Times in 2015 to cover the more complex corners of markets, such as sliced and diced structured bonds, before branching out to write about interest rates, debt and the stock market. I left the FT as the paper’s deputy U.S. markets editor and joined The Times in 2022.

I graduated in 2010 with a degree in philosophy, logic and scientific method from the London School of Economics and Political Science.

Here's the currently top listed opinion author: https://www.nytimes.com/by/thomas-l-friedman

Thomas L. Friedman became the paper’s foreign affairs Opinion columnist in 1995. He joined the paper in 1981, after which he served as the Beirut bureau chief in 1982, Jerusalem bureau chief in 1984, in Washington as the diplomatic correspondent in 1989 and later the White House correspondent and economic correspondent.

Mr. Friedman was awarded the 1983 Pulitzer Prize for international reporting (from Lebanon) and the 1988 Pulitzer Prize for international reporting (from Israel). He also won the 2002 Pulitzer Prize for commentary.

Mr. Friedman is the author of “From Beirut to Jerusalem,” which won the National Book Award in 1989. He has written several other books, including “Hot, Flat and Crowded,” an international best seller.

Born in Minneapolis, Mr. Friedman received a B.A. in Mediterranean studies from Brandeis University in 1975. In 1978 he received a master’s in modern Middle East studies from Oxford. His column appears every Sunday and Wednesday.

Its a 747–8, the 8 referencing the Dreamliner plane that is the backbone of a lot of Boeing's current fleet. These planes are relatively new and cost over 400 million a piece dwarfing the 737 Max 9s 120 million. They are really something to look at if you ever get the opportunity but given their enormous size and air travels recent trials and tribulations, a lot of airlines opted for smaller and cheaper planes so this monster is used for cargo mostly. Not an old plane or second class by any stretch of the imagination though. Its probably the plane I enjoyed looking into more than any other out of Boeing's current fleet.
That’s assuming the letter even works in having the subscription cancelled. Regardless of whether or not it should work, I am certainly not confident such a thing would be handled properly. If it isn’t then you are back to customer service or i guess hiring a lawyer.

I wasn't even talking about Christians specifically, or even religion. Just "beliefs" in the broadest possible sense. I don't know if it's better or worse among Christians (or a subsection of Christians) as opposed to anything else (e.g. political affiliation or beliefs).

I am hesitant to start listing examples, as I don't want to side-track this discussion too much.

I think there's probably a bit of a general assumption to consider people on "your team" to be "one of the good guys". Perhaps this ties in with how people tend to justify their own actions. I'm not entirely sure where it comes from.

I have an HP printer and a subscription. It's the best print setup I've had, because it works for my use case. We print a few pages a month, but sometimes we print a big stack.

We had injects before, but they would gum up because we didn't use them enough. So we switched to laser. Those lasted forever, but they don't work for any heat transfer or other "special" print jobs that we do.

Now we have the subscription. Once in a while new ink shows up, right before we run out. It's kind of magical.

I realize this won't work for everyone, but I can see it working for most people who still need a printer.

> this is what happens when populations explode over short time frames... limited resources become more scarce and more expensive.

New Zealand (similar population and size to Oregon) has an immigrant population[1] of ~1/3 and we are a poorer nation BUT houses are available here - despite our population growth significantly exceeding the USA.

If houses are not available in say Oregon, it isn't due to "population explosion" there. And it isn't due to lack of land or population density (NZ is similar to Oregon for both).

You can skim what you get for your money in NZ by looking at the major online house website (1.6 million NZD is 1 million USD): https://www.trademe.co.nz/a/property/residential/sale

All logic following from illogical things such as religion, are flawed and utterly useless. Determining anything based on it, is a waste of thought and energy. You'd be better off debating laws within the Star Trek universe.
Yes. Most network switches can handle all ports at 100% utilization in both directions simultaneously.

Take for example the Mellanox SX6790 available for less than $100 on eBay. It has 36 56gbps ports. 36 * 2 * 56 = 4032gbps and it is stated to have a switching capacity of 4.032Tbps.

Edit: I guess you are asking how one would possibly sip 1TiB/s of data into a given client. You would need multiple clients spread across several switches to generate such load. Or maybe some freaky link aggregation. 10x 800gbps links for your client, plus at least 10x 800gbps links out to the servers.

Hijacking Attacks Against Neural Networks by Analyzing Training Data
"...In this paper, we propose CleanSheet, a new model hijacking attack that obtains the high performance of backdoor attacks without requiring the adversary to tamper with the model training process. CleanSheet exploits vulnerabilities in DNNs stemming from the training data. Specifically, our key idea is to treat part of the clean training data of the target model as "poisoned data," and capture the characteristics of these data that are more sensitive to the model (typically called robust features) to construct "triggers." These triggers can be added to any input example to mislead the target model, similar to backdoor attacks. We validate the effectiveness of CleanSheet through extensive experiments on 5 datasets, 79 normally trained models, 68 pruned models, and 39 defensive models. Results show that CleanSheet exhibits performance comparable to state-of-the-art backdoor attacks, achieving an average attack success rate (ASR) of 97.5% on CIFAR-100 and 92.4% on GTSRB, respectively..."

> It's absolutely crazy. I think about this every time I see someone pull out their massively stacked wallet full of cards. I couldn't live like that.

If you want to maximize your credit score (and you should since it'll give you better rates, saving you money) you want to have lots of credit cards with high limits.

One of the factors that goes into your credit score your available credit. You want your available credit to be very high but your utilization to be very low (but not zero).

I keep lots of credit cards, at least one or two from every major bank and some from smaller ones. Thus my available credit is very high and so is my credit score.

> No, axioms are hypotheses

IMO they're neither "faith" nor "hypotheses", although "whether a set of axioms is self-consistent" is probably a hypothesis.

Axioms are just building blocks. They don't even need to be "true" in any real sense. They're just arbitrary determinations or rules that we make up, and then we figure out what the consequences of these choices are.

In practice we often try to come up with axioms that have some practical value in the real world, but this is not necessarily or always how we go about doing maths.

> I made a statement considered factual by political science/international relations

This is typically termed a "belief".
The topic of the original post is an article about that. The GP comment we're all replying to took that as a direction to discuss how many people do not take care of their finances, and how you, as an individual, are on your own. Several comments in reply to that person went on to discuss how "take care of your financial health" is only really an applicable statement when the person in question is at least somewhat educated in finance: that tons of people reach adulthood without that knowledge or those skills. And, that situation is complicated still more by the fact that many businesses, quite intentionally, are preying on both that lack of knowledge in general, and on people at large using dark patterns to obfuscate or make canceling subscriptions difficult. Then, off of that, someone else commented saying that they felt a reply was misrepresenting what was said by another, stating that "we all know people who are sloppy with their finances", which is, IMO, a clear and standard example of the appeal to common belief fallacy. To which I challenged, citing numerous experiences to the contrary I have had, and my utter lack of experiences to this common knowledge I have been told is common knowledge: that people, by and large are poor because they fail at money management, and not, which is my contention, that the majority of that time they are not poor because of bad money management, but they are poor because they are poor and are being taken advantage of. This is not hyperbole, this is just an evolving discussion. If you don't like the direction it's taking, you're free to not participate.

> States can make bad calls in the short term but you’ll often find they are rational decisions regardless of if they don’t turn out well.

This line of reasoning only makes sense when compared with counterfactuals, which seems like a waste of everyone's time. It's easy enough to justify an arbitrary action as rational if you have no basis of comparison.

Anyway, "rational self-interest of the state" is not the same thing as "rational". There are other ends other than self-interest of the state—for instance, self-interest of the constituents of the state, or self-interest of humanity. All states put their own existence before the welfare of their people. A state is not a natural thing outside the vying of capital to institute economic stability for the ends of its own empowerment.
