Most wallets only have the crudest tools to prevent identity attacks like this, such as setting a preferred address for the next payment. Frequently, you won't even see what the inputs and outputs of a transaction will be before it's broadcast to the network.
In part, yes.

But that angry failed artist came to power by blaming the disastrous economic conditions on a) the victorious powers of WWI for imposing crippling penalties upon Germany, b) the existing government and their predecessors for accepting and adhering to these conditions, and c) certain groups within Germany for "exploiting" the situation.
There is an issue with user switching and firewire/DMA that allows remote access as well as cold boot attacks but these are out of reach of most people.

I wonder how corporate programmers in non-english speaking countries communicate about programming. I would imagine that they use their local language for docs, commit descriptions, email lists, etc.

I think most of the source code people can look at is for open source projects and they always go with english as the default even when there are mostly non-english speaking programmers.

But what does it look inside private corporations?
Absolutely. There's a bunch of interesting work in that area:

It's not cognitive dissonance, it's the fact that most people see their phones as closer to general purpose computers than they do their video game consoles.

And that's not crazy. The variety of things you do with your phone is far wider than the variety of things you do on your console. With a console you pretty much just want to play games and maybe use it as a video streaming machine so you don't have to get another device for such a simple function. Compare that to your phone, whose usefulness as a device for making calls has been marginalized, and usefulness for just about everything else has exploded.

My plan is to determine the max number of players supportable in each instance, which I call an "interaction pool" and basically ensure no instance exceeds this number. All players will be in the same world, but can only really interact within the same instance. I think this will be okay since the shared world is huge and not every player will be interacting. (And I will write my way out of the sticky details. When players have to change instances, they will experience a "phase storm")

Mobility is far too complex a phenomenon to sum up with a single nationwide "rate". Here's an example that reflects on the role of race in metropolitan areas and commute zones on mobility:

Regarding education, the total "quantity" of education people are consuming seems like a meaningless metric. It says nothing about the distribution of high-quality educational opportunities to people on different ends of the income spectrum.

Measuring health outcomes is similarly more complex than the broad brush of "total health consumed" that you paint it with:

I think you just made my point, did you see it that way? The definition of "high skill" and "low skill" are dependent variables on the environment, not independent variables like this research treats them.

I also find this bit: "Adapting to skills beyond your domain is really hard, especially when you are aging." really interesting. It's the difference between "hard" and "possible." I get that its hard to go back into learning mode, especially to recapture that ability to treat every new thing as a gem to be admired. But I have not found any evidence that it isn't possible. And being hard is not in and of itself a reason not to do something. Especially if doing this 'hard' thing can greatly enhance your ability to be productive in the new environment.

In your fictional scenario, I would totally start working on blacksmithing. They seemed to be the 'hackers' of their day.

IME he is pretty much worshipped by the libertarian crowd, but not taken seriously in the mainstream. His son Rand Paul seems to be taken more seriously, but libertarians seem to have extremely mixed opinions of him, since he is more of a pragmatist than his father (which they interpret as compromising on core values). Note: I am not a libertarian, but I have many friends who are deeply involved with the movement, so this is my rough view from afar.

Feature extraction can be aided by unsupervised data but will certainly work with labeled data. One of the advancements bundled under 'deep learning' is how we can leverage unlabeled data (which is much easier to come by) to improve performance. And of course you can always do unsupervised learning with labeled data, just toss out the labels ;)

It's actually the multiple layers hidden units that perform non-linear feature extraction and the unsupervised pre-training is simply a means to do this better (theoretically, although we don't really know what's happening as much as it would seem).

Most of the current research shows deep neural nets to be state of the art in image classification and nlp. I don't know that it is the case that deep learning techniques do not work out side this area, it's just there hasn't been much published on it either way. Although I do believe the Kaggle Merck contest was neither of these, and deep learning out performed all other techniques http://blog.kaggle.com/2012/11/01/deep-learning-how-i-did-it...
