Would you mind explaining the q-power knoweldge of exponent assumption and how someone verifying the recursively constructed proof can be confident that the prover actually knows a _specific_ satisfaction of the circuit themselves given that the proof is much smaller possible state of different inputs? :P

Dont know why you got downvoted. But I agree that advertising is the key to web site revenue. Since the amount of people willing to pay are in extreme minorities.

I think the key is web page speed. Advertising slow down the page a lot and have adverse effect. Many uses Adblock / Ghostery just to speed up their internet browsing.

Could someone explain why Adblock injects CSS rules into the document? I presume it's to hide the ads, but what I don't understand is why that's the way it hides the ads. Why not simply remove the element containing the ad¹ instead? Additionally, presuming my earlier assumption is correct, if you hide the element with CSS, doesn't the browser still need to fetch the ad?

¹Get rid of as much crap ad HTML as possible. Ads seem to come layered in all manner of divs and iframes.

We have rolled out a team based link sharing tool (teamgum.com) in last week of april at TNW conference in Amsterdam. In 3 weeks, we have got 600 users, 150+ teams signed up. wonder if that is good, bad or average. Also, what other parameters as a marketer you would suggest to monitor?
At least in the Starcraft II scene, Azubu seems to be the new player on the block. They must have some connections or be making some sweet deals, because in a relatively short time they've got several well known streamers using them.
So I was thinking of picking up this book on your recommendation. However, the names seemed vaguely familiar to me already, which reminded me of the scandal where some grad student reran numbers from one of their papers, and found that Reinhart and Rogoff had made basic coding errors in Excel (I think Excel?) running the data (as well as cherrypicking data to some extent). When the data was processed correctly, it actually showed the opposite of what Reinhart and Rogoff had argued for.

Since I obviously don't have time to fact check all the numbers in their book, and they have a demonstrated history of biased results, I think in the end I'll pass on the book. Just my 2 cents.
uhmm interesting wiggle wiggle

You could argue the opposite in "game theoretic terms" since much of the advertising industry lives off user-tracking and privacy violations. It's bad privacy hygiene to allow all that tracking into your browser.

> derivative instrument against that pool

There isn't anything in ZeroCash that I would describe as a derivative instrument.

The super-simplified explanation I would give is that it lets you encrypt the content of your transactions and prove just enough properties about the encrypted data so that the network can tell that the the transactions as valid without actually revealing any of the private specifics.
Please. Give me a break.

Bytecoin is literally a direct copy of the Bitcoin code. Minus their recent change to the unproven (non peer-reviewed) curve25519 algorithm. It's basicaly a scrypt altcoin with an even lesser-tested algorithm at it's base.

Zerocash/Zerocoin is far from that reality.

Bytecoin has done literally nothing besidres change the hashing algorithm, Zerocash is an entirely new beast altogether.

See here for proof of calling out curve225519 vs scrypt http://www.google.com/trends/explore#q=curve25519%2C%20scryp... (when scrypt isn't even really an improvement upon bitcoin).
Hiding elements is the safest way not to break the page layout.

It also doesn't cause the browser to reapply the CSS over the whole page, which it needs to do when markup changes.

I'm not aware of any restaurant that claims to be a total replacement for other meals elsewhere.

1) It's a really silly claim, as a restaurant doesn't offer the convenience that people are willing to divide their flavor/food-enjoyment with that Soylent does if you must travel to it.

2) There is little benefit to making claims that can be used against an organization if the claims don't also offer a boost to some other aspect of that organization. "Eat here for every meal" offers little to a restaurant except for the chance to get sued by an unhappy/unhealthy patron.

But that is my point what counts as legitimate advertising? Who decides whether a link is non passing advertising or not. Google is the gatekeeper here. They get to decide what links are "advertising" and what are naughty naughty black hat so. Are you saying that if the seo guys labeled their spam links as advertising it would be legit and google would just ignore the links?

Now they are telling you how you should advertise as wellas which adworks are allowed to sell you links. Want to try some viral marketing where you dont tell the user it was advertising - just brand awareness and a link back? Oops no that's trying to mess with Page rank were going to flag your site.

Its ludicrous.

Look I know they're not out to hit the good guys and the spammy tactics of bh seo peeps is gross as hell but I dont think you can really draw a definite line here without collateral damage being inflicted which is what I think this article was trying to point out.
> The actual number over their career is probably more like 5-10

Where did you get that number? I think that number is actually closer to the number of PhD's in training at any given time. The number over a career is probably 10x that. Heck, I can name one professor who whas 25 PhD students at any given time.
I can't find a handy reference, but here is a 5x5 multiplication:

Using a sticky bit means computing the logical-or of all the bits that are sufficiently far to the right in all these partial results, instead of computing them individually and summing them.

Like for addition, the idea is that the result you obtain is different from the exact result, but rounds the same. The sticky bit only serves to round (midpoint + a small quantity) correctly up.
I suppose I cooperate: I use Ghostery, but not Adblock, because I see the point about ad income but do not see that it justifies tracking. It doesn't seem to make much difference in practice. Once you've eliminated the ads that involve too much tracking, there's little advertising left.

I'm not sure whether this is good or bad, and what it says about the advertising business.

If you know how, it's surprising how deliciously and nutritiously you can eat for ~$10/day, which is what Soylent currently costs. Doing so does require cooking and a bit of planning. Obviously, filet mignon is off the menu, but you'd be surprised what still is. Also, (properly chosen) real food is proven while Soylent is not.

So, what is the niche for Soylent?

People who know about nutrition know that you probably shouldn't trust the claims Soylent makes until it's been on the market for a while. People who know how and are willing to cook economically probably don't want to risk their health on an unproven product that won't save them money (currently). People who are largely ignorant of nutrition and eat ramen and Kraft Dinner daily probably won't want to give up the taste they'd be missing out on, nor pay extra for it.

There are a few crazy people who will adopt Soylent as their primary staple, but the majority of business will likely be from people looking for novelty or an occasional time-saving meal replacement. Basically the meal-shake crowd. What's the best way to appeal to this segment? Claim that your product can be eaten daily without causing health-problems, just as Soylent is currently doing. Future variants might include calorically reduced versions for the diet crowd or a protein-boosted version for the (wannabe)body-builder crowd. There's plenty of commercial opportunity here.

Will Soylent actually change the world for the poor though? If they can bring the price down Soylent might make a difference with the educated poor, but that's a very small segment of the population. The uneducated poor will gravitate towards food that tastes better.

Having raw pointers be represented as simple pointers, but accessed as if they were wrapped with an Option (or equivalent) could be nice.

I agree that if the raw pointer is directly usable whether or not it may be null, then the pattern matching is almost pointless.

I like your key bindings even better! However, I still prefer the "beginning-search" instead of just the "search" function:

bindkey '^N' history-beginning-search-forward

It works and I don't see a downside to this: ^P and ^N still work as expected.

Why do you have to use copyrighted background music for streaming of a game?
Maybe, but then why do people using Soylent seem to be making a full switch and only eating that full time instead of mixing food intakes? Every blog post about Soylent is about people who stopped eating real food for good for x weeks.
I think people who enjoy dynamic typing have had bad experiences with bad static type systems earlier (C, C++, Java).

Once you use a good static type system (ML, OCaml, Haskell) you see that dynamic typing isn't responsible for the joy, but the ability to express rich ideas without repeating redundant type declarations.

Just make a model with a fucking 4:3 screen. PLEASE!

Not everyone uses tablets for watching movies. I use my Surface 2 RT pretty much exclusively for reading, in portrait mode. A 4:3 model would be a immediate buy for me.
How does it have anything to do with using a tablet with laptop capabilities feature wise?

What you are suggesting is no different from using the Android SDK on a desktop/laptop, which by definition isn't a tablet.
Yes, I think it might be cheaper for the 'poor' to buy the ingredients separately themselves and prepare the drink (or cook the food) themselves. Since Soylent must cost as much as it's raw materials plus preparation and transportation costs.

To be economical for the 'poor', not only must the Soylent company must be able to acquire the ingredients at a cheaper price than the 'poor' can, the difference must also be greater than the cost of Soylent's preparation and extra leg transportation between where the ingredients are bought and where Soylent is prepared.

Until Soylent can be prepared from raw industrial chemicals, of course!
Nope. You are confused. You should consider this great news because you are about to discover something quite interesting!

Bytecoin is a ground up rewrite (for better or worse) blockchain cryptocurrency which uses a pretty boring schnorr-like ring signature in an _very_ clever way to achieve strong privacy. The ring signature its using has been peer reviewed, though the partial uncloaking technique they use to prevent double spending is a novel application.

(And come on, I'm not usually one to lean on authority— but you ought to believe /me/ when I say it's not copying Bitcoin and that it's doing something very useful and interesting for cryptographic privacy)

The privacy achieved by Bytecoin is better than any existing-in-production privacy tools (e.g. CoinJoin) and also as good as or better than every theoretical system I've heard proposed except for Zerocash. Relative to ZeroCash, Bytecoin exists today and has simpler cryptographic assumptions, better performance for signers, and no requirement for trusted initialization. Because it doesn't mask values its anonymity set is potentially smaller, though the implementation does some clever denomination tricks to reduce the harm of value transparency.

The reason I included a hyperlink instead of just speaking comparatively was so that you wouldn't have to suffer from any confusion on the matter. :)

Kinda sad that with all the worthless clonecoin and whitepapercoin pumping people are missing the few bits of real innovation that are getting created, enh? Don't you agree, sir_doge_alot? :P

"NO ONE KNOWS" - Really? No One? In a world of terrible link-bait headlines this one manages to impress with its idiocy.
From the article:

"Plenty of conspiracy theorist have posed the question of X-37B carrying a nuclear payload, to guarantee a ‘first strike’ opportunity (or to have a counter-option in place).

If you have any hope for humanity, that can’t be right. The US is a signatory to The Space Treaty, which is no joke. Space-based weapons of mass destruction are banned."

Can't wait to see some examples of this being used. Cool project Hayk!
I think this may be because 'no one knows' is the media equivalent to 'nobody that will talk to us knows'. Effectively that in turn translates into 'nobody in the general public knows' and what with headline space being expensive (if you use shorter headlines you can use larger letters) that got shortened to 'no one knows'.
