Do Accelerators Work? A VC, TechStars alum and tech reporter discuss
Our current methods of observation are resolution limited and have huge, huge blind spots. When you correct for that, you get the "1 in 5" number.
Correct. (For the author's benefit) We usually call them harmonics, in the context of pitched sounds, but more accurately, the sinusoidal components of any sound are called its partials. Partials differ from harmonics in that harmonics are restricted to be sinusoids with frequencies that are integer multiples of a fundamental frequency. Real world musical notes don't often exactly fit this paradigm [1].

In any case, if discarding high frequency information is all you needed to do to compress, you could simply low-pass filter the time-domain signal. A better description of what goes into MP3 compression is that it omits frequency components in sound that we can't hear because they are shadowed by nearby (in time and/or frequency) components that are louder.

For a number of these, I'm not even sure they changed their minds in the first place. Instead I'd see a bunch of these as an over-extension of the internal culture of secrecy and siloing. You can't keep a secret if you have to punt, so they lied their asses off instead,

Today's computers would still dominate even if their opening books were taken away.

Open book essentially represents a very extensive analysis of one position (the starting position) that has been carried out by humans over centuries. We aren't as fast as computers, but we've been working on this one problem longer and with massive parallelism, and so we've got the main lines covered quite deep.

It used to be that most of book went deeper than a bookless computer could analyze in the time available for the opening in a timed game. This meant that a booked up human could steer the game into lines that appeared favorable for the computer when analyzed to the depth the computer could analyze, but were actually favorable to the human when analyzed to book depth.

Computers are now fast enough that they can reach or surpass book depth in most lines, making it much much harder for a booked up human to steer the game into a favorable line.

As an example of how fast computers are now, I just let Stockfish 4 64bit have a go at the start position on my 2008 Mac Pro (dual 2.8 GHz quad core Xeon processors, without hyper threading). I gave it 3 minutes (3 minutes per move is common in world class chess events).

These were the settings: 8 threads, idle threads do not sleep, 8 GB hash table.

It reached a depth of 30 ply (44 ply in selective search), and examined 940 million nodes, averaging around 5.3 million nodes per second. (It picked d4 as its move, and expects a reply of d5).

The endgame tables also aren't as important as you might think at first. They only cover endgames without pawns, and so it is not that often that positions from these tables appear in a game. If one of these positions DOES show up in a game, and the computer misplays it without access to the tables, that isn't likely to give the human the win--it most likely will just let the human draw in a lost position. That's because the problem computers have with these endings without using tables is that they aren't able to see how to make progress from a won position so they end up hitting the 50 move draw rule. (Note that this only applies to games with a lot of pieces left. Even fairly old chess programs could do the basic piece-only endgames without needing tables).

Thus, if the tables were taken away, the overall result would be that in the games where pawns remain (most games) computers would win a lot more than humans, and in games where all the pawns go away while there are still several pieces left humans would get some draws in lost positions.

Overall, take away both opening book and endgame tables, and computers would still dominate, just not by quite as much because of the rare pieces only endgame that humans would sometimes draw from a lost position, and the rare case where the human could steer the opening into one of the few lines where book is still deeper than the computer can reach and that line's evaluation changes between the depth the computer reaches and the depth the book reaches.

Fixed fee arrangements: You're more likely to get this from a smaller firm. The more clients a lawyer gets, the less likely he or she is willing to accept a fixed fee model. As a lawyer, I can say the reason we're reluctant to do fixed fee models is that a substantial portion of how much time we spend on things is not within our control. We'll often find out in the middle of a deal that, for example, a Company signed a problematic agreement without telling us, and that we now have to spending time fixing that agreement. It's hard to built this cost into a fixed fee arrangement (especially if we haven't had any prior dealings with this client). As that time comes at the expense of servicing other clients, many lawyers are reluctant to go this route.

That said, you should always ask for a ballpark estimate of how much any transaction will cost before going into it. This will give you leverage in negotiating the bill down if, for some reason, the bill ends up going over.

I hope it continues to decline so I can get in. I have been shocked by how prevalent the Model S already is on American roads. And when I look at the drivers, they are by no means the stereotypical "early adopter" of tech. This signals to me that electric is not at all a barrier to the average vehicle consumer. Tesla has a focus on quality and details that other carmakers can't achieve. As soon as they are able to finance their expansion into other classes of vehicles, they will overtake the incumbents rather easily. There will be many bumps in the road as they expand, but if you are on a 20-year timeline they don't matter.

French Court Tells Google to Filter Max Mosley Images From Search Engine
So-called smart guns are not a workable idea, because the technology available is not capable of producing such a thing.

First, all biometric modalities, including finger print and palm print scanners, have a non-zero false accept rate (FAR) and false reject rate (FRR). A biometric system must be fine tuned to balance security with usability, which is fine for authenticating users of a computer system, but not acceptable for a firearm.

Second, consumer electronics in general are garbage and have nowhere near the reliability of a well made handgun. For any given electronic device, a significant fraction of them will fail every year. Firearms can last for decades or longer, provided they are maintained. Consumer electronics are not maintained, they are thrown out when they break.

Finally, what people like this don't seem to understand is that a safe gun must always fire when the trigger is pulled, as well as never fire when the trigger is not pulled. The first is just as important as the second. A legitimately held firearm, whether held by a soldier, police officer, or private citizen, is a safety-of-life critical instrument that must operate correctly when it is used, otherwise the user is likely to be killed himself.
>that doesn't mean reality exists
outside of my own experience.

I am aware of phenomenology and I've read some Merleau-Ponty. To my taste, however, the situation where an objective/"objective" scientific truth makes consistent predictions about my sensory experiences that suggest a physical outside world and another where that truth makes consistent predictions about the outside world itself, which in turn causes the sensory experiences, don't seem different in a meaningful way. Why make that distinction?
It goes beyond that. Even if interstellar travel is not plausible, you'd still expect to find solar systems completely transformed by intelligent life (think Dyson spheres, although maybe not so extreme). If interstellar travel were merely supremely difficult, then you'd expect regional clusters of stars exhibiting these properties. These would be bizarre astronomical oddities that we'd have likely noticed by now.

Many users over in Europe took to themselves to review sellers on trusted third-party sites, such as flashback.org.
There trusted sellers were "greened", as it were, and word was quickly spread when some seller tried a bait-and-switch by giving good drugs to the first buyers and scamming the second wave.

If you're still reading: wouldn't having a gamma value significantly larger than 0 mean that for each miner, it has more malicious peers than honest ones?

For example, let's assume a "levels" topology, where mined blocks propagate in discrete turns from the miner to its peers, then to their peers, etc. If there are more honest peers on the first level, wouldn't the "honest" block (X in the paper) propagate faster than the pool block, P?

BTW, I found the paper absolutely fascinating regardless of this relatively minor issue. As you said, even with gamma=0, an attack is feasible.
You'd have to google around for authoritative sources, but the history is pretty straightforward. Opium/heroin prohibition started as anti-Chinese policy. Marijuana prohibition was drenched in anti-black and anti-Mexican racism, as using it for intoxication was virtually unknown in the white community (although it was often an ingredient in "patent medicines").

There's a healthy bit of conspiracy theory that says the real motivation for the marijuana prohibition was a Dupont family political move against Henry Ford, who was looking at alternative fuels based on hemp. Certainly, Harry Anslinger, the primary campaigner for anti-marijuana laws, was a Dupont in-law, lending credence to the theory. Still, it's conspiracy theory and should be taken with a grain of salt.

But in the longer political run, marijuana makes an excellent nuisance crime for harassing social undesirables - blacks, latinos, and white hippies and artists who were unduly influenced by black culture. That's not a matter of research, it's just plain obvious. And since it's kind of hard to actually show that marijuana causes black men to rape white women or that it leads directly to heroin and communism or whatever, there is quite a cottage industry in faux-science to "prove" the dangers of a basically harmless herb.

The bigger problem in modern years, imho, has been the rise of the private drug testing industry. It doesn't hurt the self-image of big businesses to demand that potential employees pee in a cup to prove their competence, but it's completely shameful socially. It's ridiculous.

That guy seems to have been pretty stupid, to be frank. Used the same postbox for all letters, and didn't put enough stamps on some packages. I don't think this in any way suggests somebody with basic common sense couldn't be quite considerably more secure when sending things they don't want traced back to themselves.

"...while the Royal Mail intercepted several other packages, which had been held up because insufficient stamps had been put on them."

"After receiving the second letter, which had been damaged by fire, police made enquiries with the Royal Mail and discovered that a fire had been reported in a postbox on Bradpole Road, Bournemouth, leading to speculation that "Sally"—the alias by which all the letters were signed—had changed his mind and attempted to destroy the letter."

"The police received another letter from "Sally" on 7 December. Once again, the letter was traced back to the Bradpole road postbox, where the surveillance operation had continued. The operation had captured good-quality footage of all the users of the postbox that day, but, as it was close to Christmas, the postbox was busier than normal, with 172 items posted by 38 people. Royal Mail regulations meant that detectives could not open or delay the letters, so they made enquiries with the recipients to identify the senders. They eventually managed to identify all but a small number of the senders."

"On 17 February 2001—over six months after the receipt of the first demand and three months since the last letter from "Sally"—the police made a major breakthrough. Detective Constable Alan Swanton, a junior detective on the case, spotted one of the people caught by the surveillance of the postbox who had yet to be identified. The man was carrying a fuel container, which Swanton believed had come from a nearby filling station. Officers obtained CCTV footage from the filling station, where their suspect had paid by cheque, and identified the man as Robert Edward Dyer."

The problem with this traditional method is that it relies on the judgement of people who are not legal professionals.

If my friends and cofounders tell me "John S is an excellent programmer!(or marketer, or designer)" I cna trust that. They know the industry, they know the skills, and can formulate informed opinions.

If those same people tell me "John S is an excellent attorney!", I can't trust it. They don't know anything about the legal profession other than the bill they get. They don't even necessarily know what to look for to indicate that John S is an untrustworthy git .

I wasn't necessarily saying that solipsism is a good philosophical framework. I personally think it's rather limiting.
