All the criticisms I've yet seen of Apple's iMessage security comes down to "yes it's probably completely locked down now and for all historical messages, but here's this obscure way they could open it up for messages in the future therefore it's not secure".

Well duh! It's their software. Of course they could backdoor it in future, such as if required to by the government. That's true of any software. Apple are asserting that right now there are no such backdoors and iMessages are secure. I've not seen any credible argument that this is not the case other thst "maybe they're lying". Ok. What's the alternative? Run everything through OpenSSL? That didn't worm out do well. Maybe we should run everything on Linux using Bash scripts. Oops again!

Maybe Apple are lying. Maybe they will sell us all out. But if they do these things always have a tendency to come out in the open eventually. So far they've had a pretty good track record of being on the level. In the end it's tfag reputation, and their appreciation of its value, that is the best and really the only guarantee we have, as with anyone else we rely on.
Fan is (y-50)/(x-50)+time/5, sin is to add texture. Multiplying x by cos and y by sine of the same frequency would simply rotate the fan centre around top right corner, slightly off periods (19 and 21) degenerate that circle into a more interesting Lissajous curve.

This is exactly how voting works in Venezuela. That way you have two vote counts (electronic and physical) which need to match up exactly when counted. This ideally makes it harder to commit a fraud than having just one.

I'm curious, have you actually studied quantum mechanics? Because the impression I get from people who have is that the "light is a particle and a wave" thing is pretty much bullshit. (Which isn't the same thing as false, but more like "not actually a thing that you tell people if you want them to have a better understanding of the nature of reality".) But I haven't studied it myself.

Yes, it is terrible.

Pet owners help perpetuate a cruel and inhumane industry.

The fact that you own rescue dogs, and are thus aware of the surplus, but can't accept that this cruelty is caused by the industry that you support is just run of the mill cognitive dissonance.

By the way, regarding your other points (although I think they are a bit off topic):

As for the cost of corpora: That number is extremely variable, and in many cases (outside of newswire, in particular) you might have your own training data. And then there is non-english NLP, too. Last but not least, tagging text is not the only thing you can apply a CRF (or any graphical model) to...

Regarding paying for a Stanford (or any other software) license: That is precisely what the text linked to explains - that you do not need to pay for such stuff - not only are there free tools around, some of them are far better than the commercially restricted ones.
Unlike in the United States, where freedom of expression is a fundamental right that supersedes other interests, Europe views an individual’s privacy and freedom of expression as almost equal rights.

Except everybody knows that the right privacy is not the reason. EUrocrats needed to use subterfuge as an opening salvo for the beginnings of censorship, so this is what they came up with.

But there's no surprise that NYT would give the EU the benefit of the doubt, since they tend to fawn all over whatever wacky EU policies are implemented anyway.
Some judges are appointed, some are elected. AFAIK (IANAL/YMMV) appointment is more common at the state and federal levels, while elections are more common at county and municipal levels.

IMO electing judges and sheriffs makes negative sense, but that's what we have going on here.
That's because world governments and central banks devalue currencies. Instead of US getting to work less hours because of increased productivity, banks and governments get the benefits of increased productivity.

Oh sure, computers and televisions are better and cheaper than ever, but you can't support a family of 4 if the dad is a grocery store bag-boy and the mom babysits, which is what my family was able to do 50 years ago, with a house (mortgage), car, motorcycle, and a boat. I doubt if a bag boy today can even afford gas, car insurance, rent, and food without struggling.
Cool idea, the only problem I can see is how you define a reduction. In the Erlang VM a reduction is kind of a magical unit... and not a reductions are created equal.

I'm used to the xkcd maps, so from the fist image I thought that they were drawing "Mechanics" as an island!!! After RTFA it's clear that in that map "Mechanics" is a big lake on the left-top corner (with an island).

Quantum mechanics is clearly underrepresented, but I disagree with the explanation of the author in the last paragraph. I think it's not about the deterministic vs quantum controversy. This is a map of secondary school physics, that is more related to old theories that has less math and are easy to identify outside a laboratory.

[A LED lamp is an interesting application of quantum mechanics outside a laboratory, but the technical explanation is much more complicated than "If I press the switch it just turns on.". In a two plates balance the explanation is easier to relate to the reality.]

It would be interesting to have another map with the modern development of physics. For the layman it's very strange that in the current state of physics, Quantum Mechanic is much relevant than General Relativity. For the no-so-layman, it's very strange that Quantum Mechanism and Especial Relativity are joined since ~1930. But this map wouldn't be a replacement, it would be a map of another part of the physics word.

That's more down to Google's policy of eagerly contacting media organisations who are affected by this measure. Google know full well that if they contact the BBC or the NYT or Reuters or whoever, and say "oh, we had to censor some search results involving your site", that those companies will immediately write articles howling about the fact, thus negating the intent of the legal precedent, and seeding useful talking points to get people criticising it all.

After all, how dare people have privacy. In at least one case, the article being covered up was not due to a request by the subject of the article but from one of a few hundred commenters beneath the article. (Which could be an interesting attack vector, in the right circumstances.)

I don't believe in attributing the beginning or end of a depression a specific cause. Turns out that an individual depressive episode - regardless of the medical classification - can end at any time. Even medication is hard to pinpoint as the cause for a particular "coming out of depression". Only clinical studies show improved quality of life, for the individual patient, no definite conclusions can be made (usually).

I worked as a contractor at Google last year as a software engineer. All of the people I interacted with who were non technical contractors, like security guards, office supplies, etc. seemed to have a great attitude and acted like they appreciated their jobs. Same comment applies to almost all of the technical contractors I met.

Unless companies need to lock in key employees, using contractors makes a lot of sense, and with the affordable health care act, one of the big reasons for wanting to be an employee vanishes. I have worked as an independent consultant for 15+ years, so I am biased in favor of flexible working arrangements.

BTW, I hope the current contracted security guards get some preference in being hired as employees.

Indeed.
The rush to war again and again appears to be a very good example of scams in motion.

Rather than focusing on emotional issues (which of course is what we are supposed to be focusing on), view the economics of the situation, and decide who gains from certain actions on the part of the US military.

I'm not saying ISIS isn't bad. But they don't benefit from antagonizing the west into bombing the bejeus out of Iraq and Syria, then re-occupying the Mideast with troops. So who would benefit from that?

Most likely, there's your terrorists in my opinion. They probably wear suits and stay in very nice hotels.

It's a practice more than an analysis, so to do it you practice Zen exercises. The central exercise is meditation. Thinking about meditation is like thinking about push-ups. A little analysis helps to refine the form, but it's not the point.

I hate to sound so paranoid, but what reason do you have to believe this?
Fingerprints should not be treated as a substitute for a password. A password is "what you know", and a fingerprint is "what you have". If you also throw in "who you are" (retina sensors, blood biometrics, etc.), you have to combine at least two to have a proper system. By allowing the fingerprint scanners to become ubiquitous, they (Apple and Samsung) are training their users poorly.

Now one could make the argument that the fingerprint is more secure than a poor password, for most use cases. I'd tend to agree with that, with the caveat that it is no longer your decision (read: subject to your interrogation resistance) to open your phone if you are captured.
I felt the same thing. There are likely to be as many people that think their depression ended when they started wearing a magnetic bracelet or began taking zinc supplements or any number of other coincidental occurrences that happened shortly before depression abated.

I'm unconvinced. More patrol boats are clearly a good thing for protecting a high-value ship. But not having a sailor on board seems pointless. It makes the patrol boat More unreliable (if communications are lost the boat shuts down). It doesn't save manpower because sailors monitor the boat 1-on-1 to prevent tragedies. Why not just have that sailor on the boat? And the boat shown doesn't seem any cheaper - its a regular patrol boat with robotic systems installed - still has manual controls, seats, cargo space as if it were to be manned.

And what can a patrol boat do? It can't board another boat, take over its controls and redirect it. It can only choose to shoot it (with onboard remote-control gun) or not. Very much limited in mission capability.

Whereas a very-much-cheaper drone boat of 1-2 meters in size would be harder for other combatants to detect, could travel in novel ways (submersible? High-speed hydrofoil?), and could act as a torpedo if needed to disable another combatant. Kind of like quad-coptors vs full-sized helicopters.

I re-read the article. Nowhere is it clear that there is even an attempt at invalidating science. He really does seem to be trying to use science to shore up his ideas. Another excerpt:

"This is the basis of Zen itself — that all life and existence is based on a kind of dynamic emptiness (a view now supported by modern science, which sees phenomena at a subatomic level popping in and out of existence in a ‘quantum froth’)."
My brain automatically refactors what you wrote into the following:

(define countdown
(letrec ((cd
(lambda (n)
(if (> n 0)
(cons n (cd (- n 1)))
'(liftoff)))))
cd))

Which should be equivalent. As for what Clojure provides, the Clojure docs say this: "No letrec, labels or flet - use (fn name [args]...) for self-reference, letfn for mutual reference. Thus, this would be the Clojure version:

(def countdown
(fn cd [n]
(if (pos? n)
(cons n (cd (- n 1)))
'(LiftOff))))

In fact, it also works to use the name "countdown" in the fn form. You could define your own version of "defn" that used fn like this, to make internally self-recursive functions (as opposed to ones that go through the current global binding of the function's name) by default. I am not actually sure that this is a bad default behavior. (The main problem that comes to mind is if someone replaces it with a "traced" version, that debug-prints its arguments in addition to what it normally does, and expects to see debug-printing of the recursive calls.)
> Frankly, I consider it a very strong statement to say that your job is the best possible thing that you would enjoy the most of all to do with your time.

I spent much of my twenties doing whatever I could to avoid work. Once I realized that all those things boiled down to 'working', and that programming was the most fun thing I'd ever learned in the cause of not working, I figured I'd just get a job doing it.

Could I have better jobs? Sure. But I'd need to have the skills in order to do the job. How do I get these skills? By working on them.

We seem to be performing a lot of mental gymnastics to convince ourselves that certain things are and aren't work. Economics is the study of how to get people the things they want. The things they want don't necessarily exist yet, so we have to work to make them exist. Then we have to work to get them to each other.

Whether it's by making machines that do the physical work or by fixing the machines or by programming the machines, we're still doing work. We will always have to do work. Even if we completely automate the supply chain, we will still have to think of new things to want and then add them to the supply chain.

Even if we realize that all these physical things are a lie and we just want mental / digital things, we'll still have to build / create them. Work. It might feel like play, but there's always going to be things about the building and creating that we like and things we don't like.

To paraphrase Voltaire, if work didn't already exist, we would find it necessary to create it.
Bad advice!

In engineering this may apply, as it's a buyers market. Most bosses (in engineering) understand that they need to convince you to work for them.

It's possible that "Ronsho" could use a little more exposure or real world experience before making blanket statements.

What other techniques are there? I'm interested.
Sure, it isn't deeply informative. Their other releases discuss treating hundreds of confirmed cases (and a multiple of that of people admitted to their treatment centers), so I guess we can presume that there are at least a similar number of personnel dealing with that treatment (even if they are severely limiting actual patient contact, they are still dealing with a lot of waste and so on). The religious hospital in the article had 10 personnel involved in treatment and 10 of them got infected. That's enough to at least direct your attention towards what the groups are doing differently (it could well come down to limiting care based on the ability to carry it out very carefully rather than training).

Find a teacher. Humbly ask for instructions. Follow instructions.
Cool in principle. But in another more-informative article (posted on HN) they mention each boat has sailors monitoring their activity 1-on-1 to prevent tragedies (firing on civilians with the on-board 50-cal gun). So its no savings in manpower to use so-called autonomous boats.

And then what about mission capabilities? How can a robot boat board another vessel? What CAN it do? The ariticle says: form a 'line' between that boat and your high-value ship. For what purpose?

Compare another approach: smaller high-speed 1-2 meter robot torpedo boats. They can approach stealthier, perhaps go faster (hydrofoil?) and disable a combatant by exploding, ramming or shooting. They'd be far, far cheaper than a standard patrol boat converted to automatic control. And instantly deployable by launching over the side.
