> > While lying requires intent, it does not require knowledge that the statement is false.

Read that sentence again. It does not say what you insinuate it says. Not knowing that a statement is false != knowing that a statement is true.

> Also, I chose the most common definition of lying for a reason

Yea, the reason being that those directly contradict what you said.

It appears that you are not interested in having a honest discussion...only in misrepresenting and twisting what you wrote and what I wrote for the sake of defending a claim you made that is obviously false.

>Well, I mean, given that most new product launches and most new business ventures fail, of course the naysayers will be right more often. That doesn't mean they actually have insight into why products fail.

Eventot.com startup launched anti-spam algorithm for filtering poor quality info
Eventot.com startup has launched an anti-spam algorithm for filtering low-quality information and notifying users of really expected and good events.
“We continue fighting against low-quality events. Today our database has become more accurate”, says the official Facebook page of the project.

Co-founded of the project Arshak Ulubabyan said the new algorithm is more important for megalopolises where thousands of events are held every day, and information about most of them is available on the site.

“Before not all information was of good quality, and it was often difficult for users to find what they were interested in. The new algorithm is launched to solve this problem”, says the report.
Armenian users will also see the change as there was spam sometimes on Yerevan events poster as well.

Eventot.com is an events aggregator that collects, categorizes and disseminates information about upcoming events in almost all cities of the world.
The project was founded in Armenia in 2011.
"...then Bud made himself scarce, because the monitors - almond-sized aerostats with eyes, ears, and radios - had probably picked up the sound of the explosion and begun converging on the attack. He saw one hiss by him as he rounded the corner, trailing a short whip antenna that caught the light like a hairline crack in the atmosphere.

Aerostat meant anything that hung in the air. This was an easy trick to pull off nowadays. Nanotech materials were stronger. Computers were infinitesimal. Power supplies were much more potent...a device built with several thrusters pointed along different axes could remain in one position or indeed navigate through space." - The Diamond Age, by Neal Stephenson (1995)
Good news! Their crypto stuff looks pretty reasonable. Key exchange uses ECDH with either the P-256 or curve25519 polynomials. Once the session key is established, it's encrypted with AES-128 and authenticated with either GCM or HMAC-SHA256. None of this is implemented yet, but it's at least cause for hope.
The Video, Politics, Sports, Business and Entertainment links point to theonion.com. I suggest that you change this. An Onion dev already posted that he had considered screwing with your site when it was using the Onion's CSS. If they did want to screw with your site (or its visitors) it would be easy for them to redirect anyone that clicked one of those links (giving them a referer from your site) to someplace unexpected.
Yeah, I get the different thread usage scenarios, but I'm still wondering about measurements. I'm less concerned about getting enough performance than I am about wasted performance, which is why I am thinking about measurements. If it's 10% that's something, if it's 0.0000000001% then who cares?

I also wonder about that 90+% case. Is it really 1:1 threads:cores at most? In my mind and experience, the architecture of the program (and of course the nature of the problem) should have a greater impact on the number of threads than leaving it at "are we using Go/Rust/Erlang vs. C/C++/Java." (Most recently I had several hundred coroutines on a single thread because the problem demanded it. In my world, the contended resource is never the CPU.) I'm wondering whether how much of the 90+% is really 1:1 and of that, how much really ought to be. Few problems are "as concurrent as the number of processors in the system" in the abstract. This is more of a question of nice design than anything else, but that's worth something (and the same reason we shouldn't needlessly include a scheduler in our programs.)

Another point is that most of these high-concurrency languages aim to satisfy that same 90+% in addition. In doing so, I wonder how much trouble they save (if any, given the runtime overhead, though within the runtime the scheduler itself had better be better than defaulting to the OS scheduler.)

But yes, I absolutely agree that you shouldn't be writing a scheduler in your application just to eek out a little bit of CPU overhead.
So, is your claim that countries with socialized health care (e.g. France) have economic problems due to the immense spending on health care compared to countries without socialized health care (e.g. United States)?

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

> In 2005, France spent 11.2% of GDP on health care, or US$3,926 per capita, a figure much higher than the average spent by countries in Europe but less than in the US.

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

> According to the World Health Organization (WHO), the United States spent more on health care per capita ($7,146), and more on health care as percentage of its GDP (15.2%), than any other nation in 2008.

> And don't you there criticize the highly-socialist nanny state for running on deficit, always creating more and more state debt

I thought that the U.S. already did that.
Balancing props is a very real concern, but for another reason than efficiency: unbalanced props cause more vibration and lead to reduced image/video quality due to the rolling shutter effect (image looks wobbly). That being said, many people don't bother with propeller balancing.

Size of the aircraft is a very important point, but there are other reasons besides the two you mentioned. Generally, larger motors are more efficient than smaller ones. Larger, slower, props are more efficient than smaller, faster, ones, because Thrust ~ Rotor Speed^2 but Power ~ Rotor Speed ^ 3. Why? I don't recall, sorry. I'm more interested in the software. (If you do figure it out though, let me know.)
I've found there are some natural obstacles to getting clear data on tort reform.

One example comes to mind, from a few years back, when there was a movement to repeal tort damage caps in Kansas. Insurance companies turned out literal dozens of experts to testify before the state senate, all claiming that rates would skyrocket if the tort reforms were repealed. (There were something like 34 experts against the repeal to one lone attorney as an expert witness in favor of it, if I recall correctly.)

Now, it just so happened that Iowa had added the very same damage caps to their code the previous year. Bit of a fortuitous natural experiment, eh? Naturally, the curious senators asked each expert in turn how much premiums were lowered in the nearby state over the course of the last year. Sadly, they couldn't get an answer on the record, because every one of them fainted as soon as they heard the phrase "lower premiums."

I am well aware that the battery life depends on the power required. My point (implied) was that the MacBook Air 13" has roughly the same hardware as the Pixel: same CPU, same GPU, same amount of RAM, same type (DDR3L), etc. The only significantly more power-consuming devices in the Pixel are the display and LTE hardware. So if you don't use too much these (eg. turn brightness down, don't use LTE), then shouldn't the Pixel be expected to consume about the same amount of power as the MacBook?

Very interesting article, and it should be noted that while it's in the opinions section, it is an editorial by the editors. See: http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2011-04-29/bloomberg-view-to-b...

It's not some random HuffPo piece...

That said, the "profitability" of the big banks is somewhat irrelevant. JP Morgan, Goldman, etc, evolved out of partnerships, where all the profits went to the partners. To this day, the banks pay out most of their revenues as compensation. "Profits" are what's left after all that.

A free-flying small quadcopter is incredibly difficult as on-board sensors generally consist of noisy, drift-prone MEMS gyros and accelerometers, small and interference-sensitive magnetometers, bad civilian GPS, and barometers that are prone to environmental fluctuation. In addition, a free-flying quadcopter requires either complete autonomy or an RF link with some range or reliability, which generally requires a good amount of power.

But these aren't free-flying quadcopters; the researchers used a very high-end motion capture rig and a PC in close proximity, making everything a lot less difficult - with motion capture, positional accuracy is quite easy and sensor noise is easy to correct for, and with enough money someone else has already solved the latency issues in motion-capture for you.

I certainly agree this video is impressive but I also believe lab-only motion capture-based demos skew the hobbyist and public vision of what small quadcopters can do.
Your title is wrong only because the article's title is wrong.

Your title: "Evidence of Water on Primordial Moon, Amount Rivals Total on Earth"

The article's title: "Evidence of Water on Primordial Moon --Rivals Total on Earth"

The actual claim: "It’s not ‘liquid’ water that was measured during these studies but hydroxyl groups distributed within the mineral grain,” said Notre Dame’s Hui. “We are able to detect those hydroxyl groups in the crystalline structure of the Apollo samples." [emphasis added]

So -- Not "primordial" water, not "total", and not water at all, but present traces of hydroxyl groups in subsurface lunar minerals that are comparable to the hydroxyl groups present in similar subsurface deposits on earth.

Not remotely "water", not all all "primordial", not "total", and not "water ... Rivals Total on Earth" at all.

The linked article's author didn't remotely understand the original work and got it all wrong.

And yet there is no technical difference. Browsing is downloading. It seems strange to make up non-technical rules about when downloading a piece of data is or is not OK. If The Onion has a problem with the amount of data they are serving, perhaps they should configure their server to reject those requests; putting the onus on the end user not to issue HTTP GET unless a certain non-technical context exists seems.... odd.

I understand that this idea has gained currency over the last decade, but I still don't understand or agree with it.
I think the headline is actually self-mocking. Pretty sure the author is not actually arguing the net is a waste of time.
Convincing a believer otherwise of what they believe in is an exercise in futility.
But is it a direct or indirect goal? If they're using ChromeOS as an indirect way to make more money through something such as user feedback in some way... then it might make sense.

Or, it's a long term initiative.

I read about the possibility in a Seeking Alpha article available here http://seekingalpha.com/article/291188-tesla-the-looming-sho... , though admittedly it's over a year old now. The article lays out the scenario:

I believe the ingredients for a TSLA explosion are in place: small free float and large short interest. It just needs a spark...if press reaction is very positive, analyst upgrades would shortly follow. Retail investors will flock to the stock, followed by some institutions. If the latter is true, there would be no free float left.

In that scenario, short sellers would have to cover their positions, but be unable to find the shares to do so, resulting in a big (but temporary) stock blow-up.

Right. Craigslist has incredible inertia. The only thing I've seen comparable to it is homegrown. I've noticed in small towns, people will make organic garage-sale Facebook pages where people of the town utilize heavily and post a lot. That's the closest I've seen, because the other tools, although more advance, never beat the chicken-egg problem.

If I understand it correctly, Gibson describes his writing even net-driven in this interview: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fVnt_Rr-TB4#t=49m12s (49m12s). At least partially.
Let me reply this way -- why would Google sell their unit short? What reason would they have to underestimate battery life?

It occurs to me that, if they exaggerated battery life in normal usage -- typical user brightness settings and typical peripheral activation -- it might create a public relations disaster not unlike the infamous Tesla test drive.

Also, even with the same battery technology, units won't necessarily behave the same as the battery voltage falls. Some will cut out sooner than others as they approach the end of battery charge, a trait that depends on the power supply design.

On general principles, I just don't think they would intentionally undercut their own unit.
Oh, this one is fun. As far as everyone else is concerned, you're only defined by your actions. What you do is who you are.

>>Not only did the state's Franchise Tax Board (FTB) eliminate a tax break on capital gains for small business owners and investors, it announced the tax would be reinstated retroactively.

This isn't correct at all. The board had to eliminate the entire section that provided the tax break because the 80% requirement for california businesses was struck down as unconstitutional. The law said that there were a variety of conditions that must be met to be eligible for the tax break and this was one of them. Every requirement had to met to get the tax break, since one was unconstitutional the tax break itself couldn't stand. The FTB did what it was legally required to do.

In terms of the retroactivity, it isn't as clear when a tax itself is struck down and the board must 'fix' the tax so it isn't discriminatory. There are arguments against what the board did: http://articles.latimes.com/2013/feb/05/business/la-fi-calif...
No one can teach you how to hack!
Hacking is a mindset.
You want to learn to program- a good hacker will teach themselves. Javascript is a great language, afterwords i'd learn python or php. For me they were easier then jumping into something with an MVC framework (like ruby or Java)-- but ruby (and Rails) are awesome next steps. Just read through documentation's online. It's fun and feels great to teach yourself!

(I work for balanced, I wrote the blog and handle fraud)
I am sorry you had to deal with this.
Of course, we look at all other signals and of course we use machine learning. What I posted was partial information. the list by no means is complete. When dealing with opening up on fraud, you deal with two conflicting things - (1) If you open your algorithms/data and make it completely open source, the fraudsters have all the access as you do and (2) If you shut down all access and keep it closed, there's no exchange of information. Most payment processors opt for (2), we really wanted to strike a middle ground. If I can't expose the fact '@apple.com' email address is more trustworthy than a throwaway email address and regard this piece of information as the bed rock of fraud protection, I am nuts. Summary: you expose something, gain knowledge, hide the rest.
There are several more signals we look at when dealing with fraud (esp. digital goods). We have built a machine learning system that has learned (is learning) from our data. We also built visualization layers on top of that. Send us an email at support@balancedpayments.com and I will provide more information.
This is interesting and from a black box view of MySQL, this is a good solution. For the MySQL developers, it seems like an opportunity for improvement. When you get bottlenecked on malloc() it usually means you are frequently allocating many small objects. To me this sounds like a good opportunity to use a memory pool allocator (or find a way in the code to do fewer allocations).
It's computation that you can't see with a debugger, or with any sort of tracing.

The threat of changing their CSS to mess with your site reminded me of something a Web 1.0 trolling site did to people who linked to images on their site, causing an unnecessary load on their server. The images that were linked to were usually put in (a third party's) forum signatures. So the site owners would replace the original image with a copy that had a different file name, and change the image at the original uri to something obscene. This would usually lead to the bandwidth leech being banned from his forum for linking to obscene images.

You give a good example but it is worth clarifying that more than it being a non-functioning free market, it is absolutely not even close to being a free market. The Federal government is the biggest spender in the market, and with that comes a mountain of regulation and price controls. The states are probably the second biggest players in the market. Even things that almost everyone would agree with make it a less free market, like licensing doctors, certifying medical schools, and approving drugs. I think you could make the case that either a much freer market, or a completely state controlled system would lead to lower costs. The current situation reminds me of the pseudo deregulation of power in California that ended in catastrophe.
