Why Rent in New York City Is So High
The condom reduces HIV infection risk by 80% to 95%, depending on the type of intercourse and the direction of infection (M/F->M,F). Since the rate of infection for unprotected sex is in the order of 0.5 per thousand, a 95% reduction brings the infection rate to 1 per 30 thousand. Your numbers are off.

Then why Bitcoin? If you add regulation compliance, replace the block reward with higher transaction fees (which is built into the protocol as an inevitable end-goal), and remove (pseudo-)anonymity, what good is it? If you take away the ability to use it for illegal activity, why waste millions of dollars of electricity to sustain it?

>In Germany funding doesn't vary much for schools in the same region and is basically based on size of the student body.

In which case schools located in areas with a higher cost of living are effectively receiving less because any teacher working their, while on an absolute scale making the same, is making less on the more realistic scale that adjusts for cost of living.
Probably a bit of these two, and a third one:

today, we have plenty of programmers who have been at it for thirty years. They got started on these very machines, and in the meantime they have been doing other things on other computers—but which were still programming—and now, if they decide to go back to the original computers, their instincts more than compensate for the lost familiarity.

In some of my last years as a student (late nineties), I dug up my old ZX81 from my parents' basement, and the effects of all three items were visible: I had access to a cross-assembler that I ran on a SPARC workstation. Techniques that may or may not have been known in the 1980s were now published and available on the Internet for anyone curious about them. And my ability to concentrate and understand the issues I was facing was better than when I was eight.
I feel like a lot of people probably think the way you do: that software for which source code isn't available is trivially backdoored by NSA. In fact, huge chunks of the billion-dollar software security industry are premised on the idea that this isn't true at all: that you can, for instance, recover the control flow graph from a binary compiled program, and then from that recover an intelligible IR, and then examine that for security flaws.

Where, exactly, do you suggest that NSA could have tainted Bitlocker in a manner that wouldn't also implicate Truecrypt?

Looks really neat. I have lots of questions that I couldn't get answer on the site though ...

* What's the business model? Are they charging teachers / students / schools?

* Does it allow people to charge money for the classes they build? Or all classes are meant to be free?

* Would be nice to have a demo / way to see how easy it is to build classes, e.g. add content, create quizzes etc before having to sign up.

Otherwise, looks very promising.

Even if it is 1 at the national level, at some level of granularity it will not be 1. This seems to be a system that cannot be in a consistent stable state. I would rather aim for controlled periodic fluctuations, but even then I don't think it is possible to avoid areas of economic bloom and economic blight.
No, but I'm almost certain that the DOD's filesystem likely includes a "using any unapproved software to access this system is considered unauthorized."

I don't think fancy algorithms and data structures are common or particularly useful in retrocomputing.

Cuban here, I also lived in Russia several months and my wife is Russian. Cuba is well below Russia (and of course North Corea) in terms of oppression. Marco Rubio never lived in Cuba and only reflects the feelings of the previous generation of Cuban that emigrated to Miami when Castro took the power. This is understandable as Castro took many of their properties but has nothing to do with how cubans from 2015 feel. This can be easily seen when you note that he spoke against the Cuba-US relationship improvement recently introduced by Obama which is clearly something most of cuban supported.
There's an insidious fallacy at play in a lot brain imaging studies. I've heard it termed "neurorealism": the idea that something isn't real unless we can point to an area of the brain that "lights up" when it happens. (And the converse: any behavior we can associate with someone's brain "lighting up" must be intimately linked to that behavior.)

It's tempting to look at the visible differences between, say the fMRI of a psychopath and that of a normal person and say "oh, look, area x is clearly different, so we've found the center of psycopathy!", but there are waaaaay too many variables in play for that to be a valid inference.

The best neuroscientists know this is rubbish... but the press does not.

Sadly true. Information that could be conveyed directly in a paragraph or two is dragged out to create a long and often dull narrative, usually without any points of reference. Condom designs don't change every year? Neither do penises. Medical gloves (whose technology derives from condom manufacturing) haven't changed much for decades either. Infection risks are mitigated with antimicrobial coatings and double-gloving. The basic problem is that condoms work well enough for most people and so there isn't that much economic incentive to launch different kinds, even before you consider the regulatory factors.

The different types of lightweight threads and thread-like things can differ quite a bit in their implementation and usage.

E.g. some are explicitly cooperative and require the function to Yield() to other coroutines. Others, like goroutines (which are more like threads) automatically yield at certain points (e.g. I/O or function calls).

I think generally coroutines imply that the programmer handles more of the logic of when to switch tasks, while lightweight threads (in Go, Haskell, etc.) imply that there's more stuff "behind the scenes" to manage the concurrency for you like real OS threads. You may have lightweight threads that are multiplexed onto multiple OS threads, but you wouldn't have coroutines that are multiplexed onto multiple OS threads because coroutines implies no parallelism.

There's been a decent amount of research that the upper portions of the fuselage are more durable locations for engines. The A-10 for example, has its engines located up and to the rear for that reason, and the experimental YC-14 [1] also had the engines placed up high, albeit for different reasons, but avoidance of ingestion was definitely a nice side effect.

Wow, this is a great article, although fairly hard to read in this format. But it's worth at least skimming through if you are interested in this area. Some summary excerpts that give a sense of the trajectory:

"we were porting a lot of old SIMD code that we needed a new set of best practices to work better with SSE"

"auto-vectorization is the kind of cool idea"

"..if you bank on this and hope the compiler will always SIMD-ify your loops, you're making a fatal mistake."

"And this is the MAJOR problem with compiler auto-vectorization. It silently breaks during regular maintenance of the code."

"we should have this feature enabled, but it should be
considered a small bonus if it works"

"So what do we use? We use intrinsic functions. All our SIMD code is currently written this way."

"To use intrinsics effectively we have to be familiar with how the CPU works. We need to know what its good at doing, and what its bad at doing."

" If you have a 64-bit build, you WILL have SSE2 instructions"

"don't spend time on trying to wrap up SSE functionality."

"doomed to run slowly and waste a lot of time trying
to do this."

"Data layout is THE most important part of SIMD programming. If the data layout is poor, then no amount of SIMD is going to help."

Followed by some great specific examples...

And a useful chart at the bottom showing the percentage of targets that support SSE through AVX2.

Anarcho-syndicalism was put into practice in the Spanish Civil War, when the workers simply stopped answering to their bosses and instead ran things for themselves. And it got crushed. If there was one thing the fascists and communists (both strong C&C structures) could agree on, it was that the anarchists were the enemy. And when your little farm commune got visited by a thousand soldiers with tanks and artillery, you got wiped out, no matter how pure the ideology.

There's a wide variety of people and motives at play, and there's not cynicism in taking note of folks who are out to collect instagramable moments.

Just as many people find it more enjoyable to play with their phone instead of paying attention to their local environment, there are people who find it more enjoyable to broadcast "Look at me, I was here", rather than participate locally (many often do both, but there's a noticeable amount of folks who don't participate and only document, be it photographers, or selfie obsessives). Taggers share the same mentality. Also concerts and events in my city are often free, so it attracts a more casual audience who's bored enough to have left their house and yet not invested enough in the event to be engaged or participating.

Do you mean "NSA has stockpiled vulnerabilities they've discovered in Win8 that would enable them to quickly enroll a networked Win8 box into a C&C"? If so: sure, I agree.

Do you mean "NSA has implanted backdoors into Win8 that would enable them to directly enroll a Win8 box into a C&C"? If so: virtually nobody who does professional vulnerability research, myself included, agrees.

The distinction matters here, because if all you're saying is the former thing, that impacts Truecrypt just as much as Bitlocker, because it's equally true of every operating system, including Linux, FreeBSD and OpenBSD.
The article says that skeletal evidence suggests the presence of a harness and rider, so at the very least it was a mount for a soldier, if not an actual "war" camel in the sense that it fought in battle.

Get a job at the DOD and I'm sure they'd be glad to share it with you.

Is it really that unbelievable that the Department of Defense would have a strict set of software that's allowed to utilize their network, for a variety of reasons, including Manning's usecase or just simple security concerns?

Is your employer comfortable with you sharing encryption keys via post-it notes stuck on your monitor?

Should the DOD be comfortable with people accessing classified filesystems with any software they please?

This is simply a non-argument. I think it's a tacked-on charge meant to take down a maybe-legitimate whistleblower, but it's not like you can say it's actually unreasonable/unrealistic.
The problem with the semantic web is that radical meaning variance is alive and well. As a friend who works in GIS for geology says, "If I send a team of geologists out to map a region, when I put their data together I can tell who mapped where but not what anyone mapped."

There are ways in carefully controlled situations (like geological mapping) to deal with this, but in the uncontrolled wilds of the web we don't have any very good idea of how to handle it. Published ontologies are a hopeful attempt to get people to agree, but how they are interpreted by different individuals will still vary a great deal, because it always involves mapping the individual's ontologies (plural) onto the published document and that will rarely happen cleanly.

To take a likely quite common example: a published ontology may put A and B in the same genus, whereas you or I might give each one a different genus, based on our understanding of the world. You see this a lot when crossing between fields, as a pure physicist will often have a quite different set of abstract categories than an applied physicist, an engineer, or a mathematician, much less a geologist or biologist. And individuals within fields vary a great deal as well. So what you end up with, while better than nothing, is still some kind of weird and disjoint intersection between the published ontology and the personal ontologies of all the people who use it.

Automated tools for processing documents and inferring their semantic categories may help enough for the semantic web to be useful, but it'll take a concerted effort to ensure that such tools produce vaguely similar results, and we aren't there yet by a long shot. And then there's the problem of deliberate gaming.

As such, I don't think the semantic web is "under-rated" so much as it is still, after almost 20 years, in the early days of development work on a very hard problem.
Looking over the second part of the MIT course, I see that a lot of the same material is covered in this free textbook.
