This is what I initially thought, but there is always a flip-side.

Unless, humans agreed to complete cessation of violence (intentional or not), which to my knowledge has never lasted more than a week in recorded history (of wars), someone will always try to kill someone else.

lol. Right, because my mom's rotary phone will work like that.

That's the "comprehensive reform" argument weaselly politicians use. Ex. Chuck Schumer works for the banking industry. The banking industry needs reform after financial crisis. Chuck blocks banking reform by demanding "comprehensive reform" and refuses to implement partial measures that would help/start the reform process. He claims he's strongly in favor of reform. So much he's unwilling to compromise for partial measures. As such, he votes against all measures of reform. Sure Chuck, we all believe you really want to reform the banks that paid for your elections.

If end to PSTN can make it more expensive for the NSA to collect, then it's good, even if it isn't foolproof.

I like your thinking. With 'deepzoom' images composed of lots of tiles that overlap by 4 pixels ('Seadragon') you can change the tile size from the default 254px to anything else that works with jpg and powers of two. Theoretically you could deliver thousands and thousands of tiles for a high-resolution image. You could also get the viewer to change the zoom level by a small percentage on each 'move' so that anyone trying to stitch together an image from screen-grabs will have that random bonus scaling to deal with - lovely!!!

A half-decent programmer could reverse-de-obfuscate the image tiles into a whole image if they really wanted to, they could even post their code for that onto github, however, in all of the years that Seadragon has been around the tools to make the tiles in the first place haven't exactly proliferated so the tools to decipher the tiles aren't likely to get widespread circulation either. With tiles you are pretty well protecting your stuff as a convenient by-product, the real aim is to deliver a superior viewing experience.

From the court documents it looks like there was physical evidence of the assault, so, even leaving out the fact that the police were called at the time (rather than an accusation being made for the first time ten years later), I don't think it's fair to say this is based "on an accusation alone".

The flip side is that you can't fight a police state by blowing up houses, because you cut off the support of your people. (That is, unless the government is already busy blowing up houses and people decide there's no other way out.)

I always feel that "well-regulated militias" acting as a counterweight to the US government is a silly idea, because by the time a militia is called into action,
(1) the government can also mobilize all its shiny toys and crush whoever's in the way, and

> automobile costs include more than amortized purchase

For modern cars, maintenance is not a significant expense compared to the purchase price and fuel. Insurance is cheap if one's not driving an expensive truck.

No need to buy new, let some other sucker eat the depreciation. A 3-4 year old Corolla (or equivalent) shouldn't cost more than $10k.

Inflation isn't going to be a significant factor, since long-term savings are going to be placed in something like a TIPS bond. It is possible that the total cost will increase, but what are the chances it'll cost more for a regular school then than it does for a top-tier school now?
Is it fair to say that all of Sony's greatest hits were hardware based, especially things with moving parts (Walkman etc), and that they aren't so great with Software?

The American Dream isn't about a price of annual income. The American Dream is about the possibility of having an annual income. Originally American was free which brought on the Enlightenment Period, the Industrial Revolution and allow with it, the concept of making money. The dream is you can make money. This is an important concept to understand back then because making your own money was impossible with the enslavement by kings and variants of Statism. Today American isn't free there is no American dream. Today we are more taxed and more regulated than ever. The concept of making money only exists by having 50% of it redistributed - enjoy.
> It is precisely this argument that I don’t really buy. It feels akin to the argument of “If I don’t do it, someone else would do it, so it might as well be me.”.

It isn't saying that at all. The issue is not that if you don't make weapons then someone else will do it instead. The issue is that if you don't make weapons then you won't be able to defend you and yours from ruffians and invaders with stones and bats who would kill your children and rape your women.

And when the invaders have trucks and guns instead of stones and bats then you need to have tanks and bombs, etc. Because weapons are neutral tools. In the hands of the good guys they deter the bad guys. That's why it's so important that the tools themselves not be condemned. "If you outlaw guns then only outlaws will have guns."
Saving $2500/year @ 10% compounded annually over 18 years is a little over $120K.

Not qualifying for financial aid, the total cost (tuition, room, books) per year @ Stanford will run you $50-60K--easily $200K+ for four years.

If this tuition history chart (http://www.collegecalc.org/colleges/california/stanford-univ...) is any indication of the future, four years at Stanford or any prestigious college in 2032 will set you back a ~half million USD!

Perhaps "workflow" was the wrong word. What I am talking about is fundamental to how the project manages sources.

And again, they likely also have tools built around CVS. From my understanding of OpenBSD's build system, it would ALSO require significant effort to divorce it from CVS and marry it to git.

Similarly, Arch Linux switching from SVN to git for the packages repositories is very unlikely to happen. They've discussed it a number of times, but besides all the tooling that has been written around the SVN setup, it isn't well-suited to their use case. That isn't to say that switching to git wouldn't have benefits, or that SVN is perfect, but: It would take substantial development and testing effort to make it happen, as well as ALL contributors having to change how they work (not "learn git" (all of the other repositories for Arch are git anyway), but "re-learn all the Arch-specific tools that were built around SVN, but are now built around git").

> Holding onto objectively inferior tools due to a lack of

That's a broken argument.

Sure, it is in the case where an organization is hanging onto SVN because none of the developers want to take the effort to switch, and that is a drag on development. But, at the same time, if it is what the developers actually chose; it's not a drag. (The "users refusing to upgrade" is also a drag on technology because of support costs; that is irrelevant here, but is a cause of much of the "must upgrade" feelings among developers)

But the opposite is also true, switching to the latest thing without actually evaluating why is also a HUGE plague on technology. Git in most aspects is a far better tool than CVS. But, there are still things that CVS and SVN are better at (managing subprojects is the biggest one). These are things that I know in Arch mostly outweigh git's benefits, and I presume the same is true of OpenBSD.
Been there too and fully agreed.

I prefer using PSO versus feed-forward gradient descent because emprically for my system, a particle size of ~100 gives comparable results to standard gradient descent, on a 400-or-so neuron neural net, which is ~4x slower.

I can't use backpropagation because some of the output nodes are used to apply a transformation on the input followed by reapplication of the (now transformed) input through the neural net.

A laser is affected by temperature differences in the air (think about the mirage seen over a hot road surface) and even by gravity; a laser beam drops over distance like a bullet or a baseball, only it travels so fast that the effect is unnoticeable over earth-scale distances.

The effect of a temperature inversion, though, can be significant; it's possible that military laser designators use diverse wavelengths to avoid or compensate for it.
fwiw, the current policy is that mere availability of crapto algorithms isn't the end of the world. This is clearly debatable (I'm not entirely happy with it myself), but the reality is that many people using crapto are stuck with it, and if one library doesn't offer it, they'll use another that does.

Like if no RC4 meant no youtube, I don't think we're quite popular enough to demand that youtube change ciphers.

While determining if his reputation has in fact been ruined will take some time, if it was, it was instant.
outputs of vanilla neural nets are in the range of (0,1). Usually the last step of the neural net is to take the final output and transform it using the logistic sigmoid function, which takes values from all real numbers and compresses it to that range.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logistic_function

If you want to create a neural net that can, say, identify handwritten digits and output a result 0..9 it is usually better to create a neural net that has 10 outputs, each corresponding to one digit, rather than a neural net that has one output, say, parsed between (0,0.1) = 0, [0.1,0.2) = 1, etc.
Very interesting! Even though (as you've already stated) the whole exercise is kind of futile and pointless, it is rather interesting.

It got me thinking of some other tricks you could do to annoy the person attempting to "steal" the image.

Do you think sub-dividing the image into many small adjacent tiles could be an interesting way of defeating right-click > save as? Perhaps to make it even more difficult, you could randomize the elements and/or IDs, so it would be difficult to write a script that collected and reassembled the tiles. Of course, if you did this server-side to prevent the original complete image from being sent to the client, you'd have terrible load times.

I also wonder if it's possible to detect and respond to the common key combinations used to take screenshots. In that case, you could frustrate the would-be copier (of course, until they disabled scripts).

Ultimately, nothing can be done. No matter how clever your defense, someone could always load up the site in a VM and take the screenshot with a host machine. But it's a cool exercise nonetheless, thanks for sharing!

Many people suppress traumatic experiences. It's rarely successful, but it sometimes works as a coping strategy. For a while. All it takes is one triggering event to bring it to the foreground again. If that event happens ten years later, that's when it happens.
