Well, Fox has a pretty consistent message, as does MSNBC. Newscorp as a whole also has a pretty well controlled message.
Yes, generally see the NOLO line of cases.
Actually, in popular music I'd expect I6/4 not to resolve normally to V in a lot of cases, since that's a cadence that sounds characteristically old. I'd expect to a lot of I6/4 straight back to tonic (alternating bass line) or deceptively to vi.

Philosophically (as written by Einstein, Heisenberg, etc.) there are three assumptions about the world - of which one is broken by the quantum world. We do not know which one. Depending on your interpretation of the Schrodinger equation you can interpret the breaking in any of the three ways. This article says its realism - but as far as I know there is no way to prove its realism and not one of the others. One of these cannot hold:

- Realism, Locality, or Separability

Realism - Einstein's idea of 'elements of reality' - the idea that things actually are material and unchanging. Their properties are constant unless acted upon (ie a Hydrogen atom at time1 and point1 has a constancy of properties at time2 and point2). You could imagine a universe that had, as a property of the universe, atoms change mass every other day - just for the hell of it.

Locality - The idea that a system can only be affected by things within its lightcone - no effect can travel faster than the speed of light. And two objects must be 'local' before they can interact.

Separability - any system separated by non-trivial space/time can be considered independent of each other. The idea that 1/2mv^2 does not include every other part of the universe in trying to figure out what m or v are. Not quite the same as locality - as it would still require local interactions, but that net of interactions could be so thick and pervasive as to prevent any meaningful isolation of any system.

As is stated above, these concepts fall out of the EPR experiment.
I'm sure you're glad you over-prepared for the interview process instead of the other way around.

I've noticed an interesting pattern among some people I encountered. Usually the ratio of activity on facebook (not just "sharing", but also instant messaging and status updates) is inversely proportional to their social activity in reality. Exceptions aside, it seems facebook always has been and always will be to large part a substitute for social activities/interactions in reality, which we would have liked to happen but couldn't make happen, whether it's because of social anxiety, shyness or geographical distances. people with richer social lifes need to cater to these needs less, whereas people with fewer real life social activities resort to facebook to get their fix.

The experiment you all came up with sounds great, a lot like Bell's experiment but without the detail of setting up correlations and their implications.

Information cannot be transferred faster than light using entanglement. This is already proved by the no communication theorem. Essentially, because since the outcome of measurements is random/probabilistic, ambiguity is introduced on the receiver end. So since we do not allow [local] hidden variables, there is no way for person B to know whether or not they need to apply a further transformation to get to the original state without person A transferring classical bits.

I am not sure what the news in this article is because I found nothing surprising in it.
I would argue Hanlon's razor applies here.

I think vendors also have some responsibility. The defaults are bad and the vendors make their devices hard to manage on purpose (for lock-in reasons). I'm looking at Cisco in particular.

Uniformity is comforting. The alternative is challenging. These are billion-dollar properties: they survive based on mass appeal. What's the mass media property that doesn't capitalize in some way on the status quo? What are you really asking for here? A version of Mulan where the heroine dies in a hail of arrows? The Suite Life With Zack And Cody's Meth Habit? Even The Daily Show only works as entertainment because it has mass entertainment to feed off of.

For me, commenting on the sex angle in the article misses the point. The author was kind enough to put the relevant text in bold, specifically 'cheapens the experience of something very important'.

I'd argue that this is already happening with something very important, our human friendships. Facebook and sites of its ilk encourage us to build shallow relationships with many and fool ourselves into thinking we're sharing something of merit.

I believe in personal responsibility, so I'm not saying Facebook, Twitter, etc... are forced upon people, we can choose to leave them alone if we see fit and plenty of people do just that. It's our job to fit technology around our own wants and needs, not be led by technology.

Anyway, interesting article, thank you to the author.
Yes, I think it's pretty silly to suggest that the average 6 hours of ABC television consumption is providing Disney with much control over our culture. ABC is led by the culture, not the other way around; that's why it (sort of) makes money for Disney.

Think about it with an analogy. Google is more valuable than Facebook, despite the huge amount of time people spend engaged with Facebook, because Google's users come to the site with a task that inherently equates with purchasing intent. It is possible to capture a great deal of people's attention without changing their decisionmaking process.

I dispute that there are many judgements people make that use Disney media properties as a resource. The Internet is already a far more influential force on our culture than any mass-media property is.
Thanks!

To verify, I downloaded the installer and tried to run it on a Windows 7 machine. I got an error message stating Windows 8 was required to run it. I am definitely surprised that they decided to go this way; there's no way in hell I'm going to upgrade my windev machine to Windows 8 just to develop phone apps. I assume there are many other developers who feel the same way.

This is the first time I've used any Google voice recognition. I use Siri daily (mostly for setting reminders and checking sports scores) and find it works well. I was shocked at how quickly Google was able to convert my speech to text and get a result. It was almost real time. I was considering trying an Android device because I really like the look of Google Now. By letting me try the voice recognition part on my iPhone Google may have got me. Only problem is that I'm so locked into the Apple ecosystem. I think this is becoming a problem and hindrance to competition. People spend so much money on apps, and have to select specific music/video services for each phone OS that it makes it very costly to switch regardless of which phone has the best features and technology.

There will always be those who proclaim outrage and lament change.

Change always causes loss, but we often gain more. Naysayers may help us keep track of what is lost, but best to ignore them otherwise.

Because of agriculture, we don't know how to hunt and gather. Because of home theaters we don't go to the movies. Because of air flights we are separated from our families and miss much of what we fly over.

I don't care about DNSSEC. I just think it's ridiculous to ignore the real flaw, which is that you can bounce DNS packets at anyone you want.

If you want to strip away part of the protocol to fix an attack vector, why not just redact EDNS0? Or do what networks around the world already do and block all port 53 udp packets bigger than 512 bytes. We'll continue to have a size-limited and somewhat inflexible protocol, but at least DNS amplification will have an upper bound.

> Grids are fundamentally the exact opposite of good design.

As a former designer, I cannot overstress how stupid this sounds. It's the equivalent of a designer walking up to a bunch of programmers and saying "what's the big deal with functions?" Some things are opinion, and some things are just wrong. This is the latter.

Here's the longer response:

Grids are fundamental to good design. Have you ever wondered why some sites just look right? GRIDS. Ever noticed how many people try to emulate famous designs but never seem to get it quite right? What are they missing? GRIDS. If you start designing without a grid, guess what? You've already resigned yourself to mediocrity, even if you don't realize it. Here's an analogy: you are building a house, and you decide to "just wing it" with the foundation and fix it as required as you go along. You have already failed before you even started. The grid is the design equivalent of a home's foundation. Everything you design will build on top of that grid.

When you say things like

> I see it advocated too, but not by design gurus

there's really no coherent response you will get except NO. STUPID STUPID STUPID.

Edit: Here's what one of my designer friends responded with: "And it's always good to write a line of code (at least) twice, in case it isn't noticed the first time."

And no, I won't show you an example of a guru who advocates grids. Stay ignorant.

The Future of Man and Machine: An Interview with Ray Kurzweil
Don't get me wrong, if I were in charge of those companies I would be a fool to try to run them any differently. All I am saying is that whatever the reason (be it deliberation, market forces, or something else entirely) these companies are capable of putting out a consistent message, provided you look at it from a certain perspective.

I suppose you could say I am stretching the meaning of "agenda". Non-deliberate messages, which most of the "pro establishment" stuff probably is, probably doesn't really qualify as agenda now that I think about it.
Good question (and thanks for the fluentd pointer). The answer boils down to:

1. We want to provide a number of functions (e.g. tailing logs, gathering system metrics, reading from application-specific monitoring interfaces). There are packages such as fluentd and logstash that provide this type of functionality, but not all in one place.

2. As a multi-tenant SaaS offering, we have some extra requirements around authentication and security.

3. We want to absolutely minimize the effort needed to install the daemon. Ideally, for most users, the steps would be "download archive, extract archive, invoke setup script". The more dependencies (e.g. Ruby) we incur, the harder it is to keep installation clean and reliable across distros.

4. We also want to make management (starting, stopping, troubleshooting) as simple as possible. This calls for minimizing layers that might add their own log output or separate log files, separate processes, etc.

So, while we might borrow ideas or even (license permitting) code from existing projects, we expect to have to do some reworking. In any case, the platform question applies even if we re-use an existing daemon -- we don't want to use one that's based on a platform that might cause installation problems.
Except that DNS needs to be secure before systems that rely on DNS being secure, are written.
Wow! This might have deeper implications than you imagine.

In particular, this kind of tech might have a disruptive impact on the initiative process in California (which costs around $1M-10M in signature-gathering costs to bring something to the voters), and on the enterprise sales cycle (which involves exchange of PDFs between multiple parties, at a lower conversion rate than a streamlined web process).

The syntax highlighting in the script field is lovely. A question and an issue:

1. What support have you for Unicode? This is Lua's Achilles heel.

2. There's an issue with json.stringify - the script

t={11, ["1"]=11}
return json.stringify(t)

should not return

{"1": 11, "1": 11}

since this maps a structure whose semantics has two elements onto one whose semantics has one. json.parse cannot be an inverse to this function.

If I show my car to people, most of them don't see a 'modern classic', a 'rare limited edition', a 'real drivers car' or a 'high performance vehicle' with 'upgraded specifications'. They just see a re-sprayed 20-year old clunker without satnav, double airbags or cupholders ;-)
The GPL is a completely different beast. First of all it does not govern the usage of software, but its distribution. It does not matter that you don't have to click through it when downloading GPL'd software, because it's only important when you want to distribute software. And in that case the default under copyright law would be "you don't have any right to distribute". The GPL grants you the right to distribute the software under specific conditions. So when making GPL software available for others you can either agree to the GPL or you are simply in violation of copyright.

Secondly, the "this or any later version" is again quite different. It allows you to distribute the given software under the current or any later version of the licence, but since you have the choice of which version to use, a new version cannot retroactively restrict your rights (e.g. if GPLv4 doesn't allow you something that GPLv3 does, you can simply keep distributing under GPLv3 if the original software said "GPLv3 or later"). As long as you comply with the version that you choose when distributing, you're fine. I don't think any court would find a problem with that, as you can't be surprised by someone else retroactively reducing your rights.
Hmm. What I got was that, disregarding the open redirector thing, DNSSEC is typically "only" about two times worse than regular DNS amplification. DJB's number is a lot higher.

Why are they employing anyone? This sounds like the perfect data service to provide to hook up people who have a cleaning job that needs to be done with people who are willing to do the job and enable them to agree on a price, with the data service taking a (small, no more than a finders fee) cut.

Include some ability for users to feedback on their experience with various cleaners, allow cleaners to feedback on users, provide some scheduling management tools for the cleaners, maybe take another small sliver for those services, etc. The goal being making it as easy as technologically possible both for someone to get their house cleaned and someone who wants to clean houses to find work. This is the model that will destroy all traditional employers, and doing so with great speed is important. There's not time to drag feet and try to drag along archaic structures like holding employees or being tied to employers any more.
I was personally deeply shocked recently, when I sat with my children as they were watching the animated Iron Man series at their grandpas house. This was on Sunday morning TV.
The episode was about other 'bad' characters stealing Iron Mans suit. I was alarmed when the dialog turned explicitly to talk of Patents and how evil it was that they were infringing Iron Mans designs. As I continued to watch it dawned on me that the whole episode was just one big propaganda piece.

Disneys dialog is present, right beneath our noses.

So let's clear up some misconceptions: First, this is not a problem specific to Copenhagen or any other interpretation of QM. Second, it is not just the EPR paradox. Third, it is not the first time someone has proposed a system utilizing quantum entanglement for superluminal communication; that title goes to Karl Popper:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poppers_experiment

Popper's experiment was a very clever way to get around the no-communication theorem. It was eventually performed, but no FLT communication could be observed [some suggest we need to keep looking]. I presume that this new paper is another clever way to avoid the NCT, but I don't have time to read it at the moment.

Are you aware of any attempt to explain quantum superposition (and entanglement) on the information theory basis? Is it possible that superposition is an optimization that allows the Universe not to compute stuff that does not have any observable effect? Maybe classical Universe would be much more computationally expensive?
