NO. This conversation is very frustrating. Stop using other different papers. Re-read the Turing paper.

It is very clear that the aim is for the interrogator to discover the woman/computer, and that the male/human can cooperate with the interrogator.

Turing made it very clear that you repeat the game but that you replace "woman" with "computer". It is impossible to do this without telling the interrergator that they are playing against a computer.

You keep saying that Turing did not explicitly say that the human should be made aware of the computer. But he did say that - by repeating the game but substituting "computer" for "female" you inform the interrogator the same way in both games. In the first tame you say "spot the woman" and in the second game you say "spot the computer". Unless you're saying that you don't tell the interrogator that one of the talkers is a woman.

Here, again, is the quote:

Your quoted error above makes me think that you have mot recently read Turing's paper and so I won't waste any more time discussing it.
Pretty awesome :) if it will not be empty words we maybe could have much more momentum in the field of electric cars.
I feel like I'm missing something here.

A very young girl died of cancer. That's pretty sad, but I fail to see how it's anymore sad than the hundreds/thousands of people who die of cancer every day. Millions of people will have died of cancer by the end of this year.

So we have all these people tweeting this hashtag and coloring their Twitter avatar purple, because Rebecca's favorite color was purple (no non-sequitur there).

Why? Why are we mourning the death of this particular individual; what about her plight is so unique?

To me it just seems like bandwagoning.

Surely there's some aspect of this that I do not understand or of which I am unaware.
Many thanks. I wish Beamer made a bigger point of recommending distribution in handout mode or more accurately dissuading distribution in presentation mode.
I think containers are great, but I think we are going a little crazy with indirection at this point where we have four levels of indirection.
I think you're confused? AES-GCM is an authenticated encryption mode. HMAC-SHA256 is just a cryptographic MAC. The two only share the same applications when the latter is combined with a non-authenticated encryption mode in an Encrypt-then-MAC construction.

The problem with the polynomial AE modes is they are trickier to implement (AES is actually small, as is SHA).
There are already cheaper solutions to this: http://www.drinkspikedetector.com/howitworks.htm for example.
My favourite Ember (Data) quirk:

this.get('store').createRecord('ModelName', {
.. attrs ..
}).save().then(function (model) {
// Ember.isNone(model) === true
}, function(error) {
console.error(error);
});

The fix: s/ModelName/modelName/

This works sometimes, and not others. The only indication of failure is the fact that the model is not loaded from the JSON response to the POST/PUT request. It's a subtle bug. I wasted a bunch of time tracking this down through the Ember Data internals (for a co-worker, but the original bug/typo could easily have been mine).

The other quirk is converting snake case to camel case and back:

address_1 =(to camelcase)=> address1 =(to snakecase)=> address1

Didn't realise that you could do the ROM language card and the RAM version in the same machine. Must have been a bit crash prone if something tried to enable the RAM language card at the same time.

Now I've moved house I need to spend some time with my Apple ][ collection, sadly the Profile drive PSU has died while it was all in storage (lots of smoke after power was applied) and I think some of the other PSU capacitors are in a similar state.

> One of the other commentators mentions that he thinks Powermat is more forgiving on exact positioning of the device on the mat. Do you know if this is real/important?

I think you're referring to gdilla, who stated (incorrectly[0]) that this Powermat's technology is less sensitive to positioning because it does not use inductive-based charging (in fact, it does).

I've been using wireless charging on the Nexus 4 and Nexus 5 for a while now[1], and the main factor is simply the size of the device and the surface area of the charger. There might be some subtle difference beyond that, but if so, it's too small for me to have noticed after several months of daily use. I never have to think about it.

You said "nutrients from fresh animal meat" in the same post where you expressed disdain for fast food.

Yet you clearly express no disdain for a food source that is on whole, extremely damaging to the human body.

I suggest you educate yourself about nutrition in it's entirety before you step on your anti-fast-food pulpit.

I'm not really sure how long you consider "at least several years"* to be but the version they're talking of EOLing is nearly a decade old and v1.0.0 is already 4 years old and not looking to be EOL'ed any time soon (even if their 2 stable branch strategy comes into play).

I'd say that's more than enough time for maintainers downstream to upgrade (and it's already longer than most software stays supported for - so if maintainers aren't pushing updates then there's going to be other layers of the stack that's unpatched and thus vulnerable).
Creative Commons is different - you don't pay.

>>In the example app you used, the models actually look pretty light on lines of code. I'm willing to bet the Views were full of conditionals, which is another thing I keep an eye out for.

I'm a Rails newbie so please excuse my ignorance... What is the connection between models being light on code and views being full of conditionals? What I assume you mean is that your models should also have view logic so that your templates aren't full of if-then statements. But isn't that what decorators are for?
What would be really nice if you allowed developers to export their apps as signed APKs. That way they could submit them to the Play Store, Amazon AppStore, etc. That would be truly amazing.
Are YOU going to built a business around Tesla's patents? If so, you just got a very credible hint that Tesla might be interested in talking to you. Isn't that great?

Sometimes I feel doing business in the US is liking playing with your toys while your mom (courts) are watching. No wonder the legal industry is so huge. It has ingrained in people's mind that other people's word are worth nothing. I wish we could look past that... go talk to the guy (or his whatever-department that handles licensing matters). If you're really interested in starting this business, it won't take much of your time.
I have a similair story, as I child I never liked taking meds or how it effected me, I refused to take a blood test one day and was removed from treatment, I'm now 26, recently I tried matcha (green tea powder) and found it to be much better then coffee as it's a stimulant & relaxant (no crash, very calming and alert). I also found as I got older it got easier to manage, it also left me with the ability to hyperfocus when I'm in the zone working.
> Not at all. Occupy was political. Individual police departments cracking down on political dissent is problematic.

The fact that your motivation is political does not provide a license to break the law, and you must expect a response from law enforcement if you do so.

This has been discussed a lot over the past few years. The title-changing policy is very widely disliked and leads to a lot of clearly poor results like this, but the mods are completely uninterested in changing it, so there it is. I don't know why we're even allowed to write titles anymore — it may just as well be populated by an automatic HTTP request.
I'm curious about this. To what degree is a CEO writing and publicly distributing the statement, "Tesla will not initiate patent lawsuits against anyone who, in good faith, wants to use our technology." legally binding? "In good faith" actually strikes me as reasonably interpretable by a court, so I guess the question is just how much "he said so in a blog post" counts. I'd love to hear a lawyer weigh in on this.
The interesting subtext here is that for Tesla to fulfil its potential more support for electric cars in wider society is needed, and while everyone else struggles to build electric cars the infrastructure won't catch up.

Opening up, in this sense, could be seen to be a selfish endeavour, but still a positive one, aiming to position Tesla as the Apple of the electric car market, only mildly less litigious.
I'm curious Mr. Musk, does this mean "Give us a call and we will license you our patents at no cost."?

Actually that makes me think this project may be very useful. If gnulib is that needed for compatibility, then rust-coreutils should be a great test-case of system compatibility for rust itself. It could uncover many things that should be done inside rust rather than this coreutils implementation.

They have definitely left a lot of wiggle room and you'd be crazy to build stuff based on their patents without a licensing agreement, but I think this signals that they are very open to licensing their technology, and are not trying to "build a moat". This would be a lot more interesting if they were willing to state the terms on which they are willing to license the patents, but there are probably complex legal issues with saying so explicitly.
time wise that's an expensive commute.
People are optimistic but I'm with you.

For example, using the Supercharger network requires that the automotive company offer energy for free for life to customers, and charge up front at the point of sale for all energy requirements for the life of the vehicle.

That's Musk's business model and is enforcing it for anyone who wants to use his "open infrastructure".

Which is bollocks to me: only wealthy people buying extremely expensive vehicles are going to want to prepay for a decade or two's worth of electricity. It means BMW and Audi will Supercharge, but Toyota and Ford? You can't ask budget customers to prepay a decade's worth of travel costs. You can't competitively and aggressively price a vehicle like that.

I imagine "good faith" means "follow OUR rules for the industry", which makes me sad. I'd like to see things be a bit more open than that, and I have very little doubt that this "standard" will be duplicated by companies unwilling to play by wealthy rules.

API Testing using Runscope
In many cases where you use an HMAC, you'll also want to encrypt as well (ie: web cookies, tokens, etc). Because of this, I find it's much better just to go with AES-GCM from the start rather than discovering that you don't want to leak your internal DB identifiers later and tacking on the encrypt-then-mac.

It also means that the implementation of the algorithm does the work of both authentication and privacy, whereas with HMAC-SHA256 (and HMAC-SHA256 + AES-CBC/CTR) you will see developers hand-rolling more of it, leaving more room for them to do it wrong.

I also prefer that AES-GCM is a mode itself, while encrypt-then-mac generally requires a developer to do research into the appropriate encryption mode and other details required to "get this right".

Not really. I don't see discotheques or bars buying it. They generally buy the cheapest plastic glass they can find for the former and the later have drink companies offering them free glasses. As for private parties, where your cup is likely to be lost or broken, people won't bring this expensive cups with them.

To me it's more, "lets surf on the Internet of Things". As already said, I don't see the need. Maybe if one day it become as cheap as normal cups. But not now.

That's interesting to hear. I don't really get a stretch of "focus time" after exercise. It's cool that you do!

Exercise feels like it helps my ADHD in indirect (but important) ways.

Exercise boosts my energy level, and reduces my stress level in general a bit. I also sleep much better at night if I get exercise during the day. The sleep, of course, helps with everything else as well.

I salute you for having discipline with your diet! That's the hardest for me!
Spoken like someone who has never really had to deal with severe focus problems.

That's a lot like telling someone who is learning to walk again after an injury that they don't need those fancy "crutches" or "slings" that pansies use - people with real gumption just hop out of bed. If they break their noses a few times along the way, they just need to remember that they aren't taking the path of least resistance, and that it's a sign that they aren't weak people.

I'll probably be starting medication management in about a month, after 31 years worth of trying to make it work for myself. It was manageable previously because I had lots of structure provided to me to lean on - from school, from bosses, whatever. Now that I'm the one providing structure for myself and others, I've found that I simply can't function. I've tried for three years to self structure with all the self-help you can think of. I don't want to be medicated forever, but I really need something to help me focus just a little bit so that I can develop good habits.
I was diagnosed with ADD in the early '70s and, after moving to Austria, it took me way, way too long to find a doctor who even acted like he was interested in understanding anything to do with ADHD.

I briefly tried Wellbutrin as an alternative to Ritalin a couple of decades ago and I did not find it helpful then. On the other hand I find Ritalin really does work for me and in ways that meditation and exercise simply do not.

I'm not saying that meditation and exercise aren't helpful. They're important parts of my life (/ coping strategy). It just that Ritalin is also part of that strategy. In fact, at this point in my life I view using Ritalin much in the same way as wearing my glasses and hearing-aids.
I'm not comfortable buying a $100 cup if I Can't find the "How does it work?" question in the FAQ. I mean, I'm not expecting a full technical detail, but something more than "It’s not magic, but close to it…".

It's easier to find out if it will work as you expect it if at least gives some hint of what kind of technology it's using. Or am I missing any text that says so? I would certainly consider doing a pre-order if I had some more info on its inner workings. It looks like a neat product and even one that I would like to try out just for fun, and also to see if this technology actually works.

(I'm not counting the video which I didn't look at because I really prefer not having to sit through several minutes of pretty pictures and logos and such to find out how the product works)

So am I alone in this? is it so rare for people to ask how a device that claims near-magical properties work?

Selecting the text also makes it available for middle-click paste on Linux/UNIX platforms. You can also hit Ctrl-C before releasing the mouse button. But yes, text selection ought to work normally.
It's kind of funny, but I don't even remember simple things being spelled out. For example, in their use cases all of the models and routes are single words like: post, comment, todo, etc.

In some places, you see 'Post' and others 'post', but there is nothing explicitly spelling out how that works for multi-word items (e.g. MultiWord => multiWord). Same with underscores in route names (e.g. route name 'multi_word.item.index' => MultiWordItemIndexRoute).

Not that I really feel comfortable challenging you on anything crypto related, but it seems to me that Ed25519 is superior to RSA in every conceivable way even for general-purpose computing environments. It's more performant, easier to generate keys, the signatures are shorter, and there are fewer ways to shoot yourself in the foot (e.g. no padding issues). Is there a reason you don't actively advocate it other than the fact that it's not widely used?

Some additional acencdata:

When I started Ritalin (in my 30's, I think) I also become somewhat "Spock-like." This was a problem when talking with my girlfriend about some sensitive matters, as I was kind of detached and lacked empathy.

I also noticed that I no longer had a soundtrack running through my head. Usually I would have assorted self-invented tunes and riffs playing in my brain. That stopped and it really bothered me.

Before too long I became more adapted to the drug. The empathy and soundtrack returned. I eventually stopped taking it, though, because it didn't seem to make much of real difference as I became more acclimated. Even taking "drug vacations" didn't seem to make a difference.

I took Adderall some years latter and the positive effects lasted maybe a week. Very disappointing. Immune to speed; what a let-down.

At this point I just accept it as a fact of life that I have to work at managing attention and motivation and not get too depressed when I have a million unfinished things.
