> He began by rewriting the complicated Boltzmann equation as the sum of a series of decreasing terms. Theoretically, this chunky decomposition of the equation would be more easily recognizable as a different, but axiomatically equivalent, physical description of a gas — perhaps, a fluid description. The terms in the series quickly become unruly, however; energy, instead of diminishing at shorter and shorter distances in the gas, seems to amplify. This prevented Hilbert and others from summing up the series and interpreting it. Nonetheless, there was reason for optimism: The leading terms of the series looked like the Navier-Stokes equations when a gas becomes denser and more fluidlike. “So the physicists were happy, sort of," said Ilya Karlin, a physicist at ETH Zurich in Switzerland. “It’s in all the textbooks.”

This reminds me a lot of perturbation theory, a method used to solve the complicated equations of quantum field theory. The technique basically involves summing up a bunch of Feynman diagrams (of decreasing significance), and it has been used to calculate the value of the gyromagnetic ratio of an isolated electron to within 10 decimal places of its experimentally measured value (which is absolutely amazing, both from a theoretical and experimental standpoint).

However, what's peculiar about this summation is that it fails to converge. You would think that by adding up smaller and smaller terms, the series would eventually reach some limiting value, but that doesn't occur. So the most predictive theory that mankind has ever created (quantum electrodynamics) works only as long as you don't keep adding up more terms.

(*Technically speaking, this isn't a failure of QED, but of the method used to solve its equations. There are other solution techniques that don't have this problem.)

It's true that Moore's law doesn't apply everywhere. In fact, some costs (like the costs of sequencing a human genome) are falling much faster than Moore's law would predict: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/b/b7/DNA_Sequ...

Porn sells. Porn sells a lot. But people who make porn have the problem that nobody wants to be associated with it, so they constantly have to find new ways of getting paid to make porn. Gumroad was popular for a while, for instance, until they altered their TOS to forbid it and started cracking down.

Right now, Patreon is cool with porn. Especially with cartoon porn - IIRC their official stance is "no porn but we turn a blind eye to cartoon porn unless you draw kids fucking or stuff like that". So all the cartoon pornmongers are leaping onto it. When Patreon decides to be tougher on porn, they'll go elsewhere.

I'm also quite surprised that this article tries to spin it as very novel. We've known this for literally a hundred years. Moreover, there's no mention of the pioneers in the field - Chapman, Engskog, Burnett, Knudsen, etc - much to my dismay.

The recommendation is for major revisions including a detailed literature review.

But then why would I be unable to log into my account?

I run exactly zero extension and used an ad-blocker for maybe 1 month in my whole lifetime.

With that being said, I am genuinely curious how these 2 things are necessary for you to consider a browser. Are there extensions that I don't have that is crazy for me not to have?
But you're ignoring the fact that this exploit could have been demonstrated in a safe manner on a racetrack or similar with just as much effectiveness.
I wonder how much the Edge's performance will affect the average person's decision to use it or not. Browsers one up each other all the time and I'm sure Google's next major Chrome update will show improvements over the Edge.

Renaming your browser won't change peoples' memory of Internet Explorer, even if Microsoft built Edge from the ground up. The average person is still going to be thinking IE when they see it.

Without extensions, I personally am not leaving Chrome - even if it's a resource hog. But it is nice to see how Microsoft is changing their behavior. Competition between products is always a good thing.
I didn’t think we were even arguing, just discussing an interesting idea :)

Our current economic system is remarkably similar to the centrally planned economy the socialist dreamed of creating. Most productive enterprises have no controlling owners - the ownership of most public companies is highly dispersed and much of it in the hands of pension funds, etc. About the only difference between a socialist “paradise" and what we have now is that the indirect ownership of the means of production is not evenly distributed within society.
It was also pretty heavily supply constrained during initial launch too.
This isn't 100% wrong, but it's definitely close. To out it vaguely, there is enormous complexity and structure that we can't even model yet.

But they'd never put investment bankers and traders out there. I have always interpreted suburban tech office parks as a hold-over from the days of engineers being considered "back office" cost-center workers, rather than "front office" revenue-generating talent.

Indeed, cursing is considered a fine art among Klingons. One of their aphorisms, translated idiomatically as "Curse well!", literally translates as "Shoot curses forcefully!" They consider curses as weapons which must be propelled to their target, much like throwing knives.

At least one Klingon epithet, petaQ, seems to be used to refer to "someone who has no honor." It was used of Worf by other Klingons during the period of his discommendation.

That was my first thought - my other comment put the initial onus on the journalist for creating a strawman opponent. However, when writing my second comment with a little history of systems biology - including within large pharma - I thought I should go watch the video. The founders basically say the same kind of stuff in their video. So we cannot blame it all on the journalist.

1. That graph completely omits the quality of the sequence data being generated (hint: it's pretty terrible).

> "researchers arrested would bring even more attention to this."

Yep.

> Where do you see that in the article? Only thing I read was manufacturers downplaying a wired-in attack they demoed.

No "air gap" between "CAN bus and Internet" equals vulnerable.

We know that. Auto manufacturers know that.

Yet they dismiss the possibility of a hack and continue producing unsafe vehicles. And the trend is toward more vulnerabilities.

I was to lazy to search a direct quote, but here it is now: "Miller and Valasek represent the second act in a good-cop/bad-cop routine. Carmakers who failed to heed polite warnings in 2011 now face the possibility of a public dump of their vehicles’ security flaws.".
I'm curious about this. Why? I think the best hindsight for successes was about enabling.

- The iPod enabled you to take your music with you in a much more polished and convenient form factor (sorry, Rio).

- The iPhone enabled you to have much more functional mobile experience (in a much more polished and convenient form factor... sorry, Blackberry).

- The MacBook Pro... "

- The Apple Watch enables you to... ... what? I'm honestly asking.

You can't physically put a bigger screen on your wrist. No one has come up with a convenient input device for interacting with it. Sure, battery, processing power, and connectivity will improve as hardware does. But none of those change the basic proposition. What is the problem that it solves?

Continuous health monitoring is helpful, but I think obesity statistics bear out how much people generally care about their own health.

I can see an alternate past where the iPhone was instead a watch, and now we're all communicating via watches (albeit those first few generations would have been bracelets). But competing against an entrenched surfeit of cell phone screens? I just don't see it.

(Side argument familiar to Tesla owners: also, now you have tech curve depreciation is what was formerly a more value-retaining object, if you're thinking of just using it as a watch)

Hackers can steal your money. You may be able to get reimbursed, depending on how they did it. The novel thing about this Jeep story is precisely the fact that hackers are demonstrating an ability to do something worse than stealing money.

The cops can wreck your house, break your stuff, take your money, shoot your dog, deprive you of your liberty, and - if they think they can get away with describing you as a threat - shoot you dead. Even if you spend the time and money it would take to prove in court that all of this activity was illegal and unjustified, most of the time you'll fail, and even if you succeed you'll never get anything back.

I don't trust hackers or cops, but I can sure as hell see which one is the bigger threat.
Also Apple launched the iWatch in more countries than the iPhone and iPad, including China (their second biggest market). The iWatch demand and initial sales will be more front loaded than the iPhone and iPad
>Recently a senior researcher admitted to me that from a journal he referees for, he was referee-ing for a paper and found 10 issues with it. However, the editor came back to him and told him accept it.

I have had this happen. I have rejected papers as fundamentally flawed and the editor has just published the papers unchanged. It make you rather cynical about the whole peer review process.
Elementary (ie: math-speak for "undergrad-level") probability theory is quite accessible to someone with only a computer scientist's math classes. You really don't need real analysis until you start reading research papers on probability and they drop down into measure theory for this-and-that.

I wonder where people could have gotten it into their minds that "drones" operate above the law, or that their operators can kill whomever they please without consequence.
Did they publicize it on Wired like they did with this post?

I'm reasonably sure that if they had tested in a private track and made a public article it would have the same effect as what they did in their post.

In essence, the publicity factor is the most important, not where they tested it.

"I'm sure Google's next major Chrome update will show improvements over the Edge"

What makes you so confident the next one will be faster if the current one is slower? Are you on the dev team?
This always happens with Apple, although I admit that 6.31% is a bit on the high side.

In general, Wall Street doesn't act the slightest bit rationally around Apple. No matter how record-breaking Apple's numbers are, there's always some insane analyst that projected even higher numbers, which means everybody then reports Apple as a "miss" (even though they always beat their own estimates, and meet or beat all of the sane analyst predictions, which is most of them). And since it's a "miss", stock drops.

Really, what's more shocking is those very rare times when the stock climbs after-hours after an earnings report (or after the WWDC keynote or the annual September event).

Your data is: you and your ex-gf did not get the Apple Watch. Not helpful.
But that will change too. Within miles - actually within about 1500 feet (http://www.pikeandrose.com/) of the property mentioned in the article, trendy new town centers are cropping up. Let's face it, those office parks are just recycle material. Some are in very good locations, particularly Executive Blvd, and they will be torn down or redeveloped for these new "life-style" communities.
I don't know what it is with this site, but it made Chrome (Android) crash four times already. Which means that, thanks to that wonderful browser, my two billion research tabs are gone since the first crash.

Anyway, I can't imagine how running unit tests could possibly reach 100 seconds. Usually, that means that the tests are coupled to the environment (database, filesystem, ...). So without being able to read the article, that would be my guess. There are tons of good (and old) reasons why you should decouple unit tests from the environment as much as possible. Execution time is only one of them.

Docker as an organization, is a competitor to Google and Kubernetes, but Docker as a tool is complemented by Kubernetes.

This is because Docker is building it's own scheduling/orchestration tools, which is what Kubernetes is for. However, as a container runtime, Kubernetes works great with Docker.

That doesn't really mean anything. They "cut the transmission", which could mean they forced the vehicle into neutral. The accelerator may be supplying gas to the engine, but if the engine is not supplying power to the wheels, the accelerator will have now bearing on whether you accelerate.

Making factual statements contrary to how a situation was reported by those involved is fraught with pitfalls you can't anticipate, from things you don't know about. Until there's careful investigation, or the people involved recant or make factually impossible statements, you should be careful about making assumptions.

In any case, their reported actions are what people are upset about. If someone makes false statements about illegal activity and it results in the police showing up, they have only themselves to blame.

I hate it when people narrow things down to one factor. Yes, speed can be helpful, but you still need to balance it with other factors like quality. Speed for its own sake can kill you quickly.

In short, you need to know what you are doing and why.
Project Euler – A Case Study in “Specification Driven Programming”
https://chriskohlhepp.wordpress.com/specification-driven-programming-in-common-lisp/

Algorithmic puzzles have become popular among computer programmers. While educational, solutions to these puzzles tend to promote approaches where competing aspects of the puzzle are entangled. Specification Driven or Constraint Based Programming is offered as an alternate approach. We hypothesize that this approach untangles the various aspect of the problem, making it easier to change the specifications of the problem while unifying test and implementation models.

We then present four project Euler problems and one NP-hard logic puzzle in support of our hypothesis. We hope the examples show the brevity and declarative power of functional programming combined with meta programming –presented here using Common Lisp.

In the epilogue we demonstrate how to selectively effect static typing using Lisp macros as well as implement constraints otherwise known as "Concepts" in C++.
I agree that major improvements are needed. SunSpider, Octane, and Kraken are all pure JavaScript benchmarks, very microbenchmarky (look at bitwise-and in the SunSpider suite). Oort Online is a benchmark of WebGL performance—WebGL is definitely worth benchmarking, but how common is it in people's daily browsing? HTML5Test tests whether a bunch of "HTML5" features are sorta present, not whether they actually work or anything—it encourages broken implementations that support just enough to pass the test.

The state of browser benchmarking is pretty bad. Right now the common suites of benchmarks overwhelmingly focus on what is easy to measure, not what reflects real-world perception of browser performance.
I imagine the text being said while hearing a number of booo's in the background. The number of voices boo'ing would increase as the number of downvotes increases. I think that even if a downvoted comment may not be popular, it should still be heard so distorting the comment in some way, as mentioned by a previous poster, would take away that commenter's voice being heard.
> What's different with this generation is they don't seem to have much interest in forming families, so they move to the trendier areas and spend all their money instead of living in a cheaper area, commuting, and saving for a situation that would be good for raising children.

I think it might be simpler than this. They just can't afford to raise a family as easily as their parents and grandparents could, so many choose not to, not because they legitimately have no interest but because they don't see the numbers adding up. On top of that, it's often no more expensive to rent a small apartment in the city vs. a large house in a suburb. And that large house with its tiring commute is just a burden to someone without kids.
Nice experiment. Some time ago I bumped into a similar problem when I experimented with SVGs lighting functions. SVG supports Phong shading based on a bump map. AFAIK you have to pass the bump map as the alpha channel of an image. Firefox only uses 8 bits for the alpha channel so the sphere I designed had steps on it.

Also Firefox used the sRGB non-linear colorspace for Phong shading producing incorrect results, but it was a different annoyance.
As a lefty, I appreciate that the upside-down watch crown-dial is towards the bottom. The upper left side of the watch is right where a big bone sticks out of my wrist. I don't know why you right-handers put up with that kind of thing!

In any case, being a non-starter for left-handed people won't hurt the product much. Neither your personal opinion nor mine are important; data about the overall market is what you want to look at.

Just standard trolling about how Apple's success is transitory, without merit, and due to people finding them "cool" for no rational reason.
The CFO stated that the watch provided was more than 100% growth of revenue in the Other category. Also that the watch sold more than iPhone and iPad in the same initial 9 week period. So more than 3 million Apple watches compared against initial iPad sales.

IE is usually very competitive at each release... the problem is they tend to sit at 2+ years between releases, and even with IE10 and 11, it hasn't gotten much narrower.

The real test will be to see if IE can keep the pace set by chrome and firefox.
Benchmarks are good but the overall experience is what matters the most. I'm really impressed by the startup time of Edge. I type some query in the Cortana search bar and press Enter, it launches Edge extremely fast. So far I really love the performance.

However to make it my main browser I'm still waiting for adblocking extensions. I browse with a few tabs opened, one of them start randomly playing an ad video, at least it shows the sound icon on the tab so I know which one to kill.

I also noticed a few UI problems:
When pressing the back button with "Ctrl" on, it does not open the last page in a new tab. Surprisingly, I use this feature very often on Chrome & Firefox. Sometimes when opening a new tab, the focus is not in the address/search bar, forcing me to click on it (or pressing Tab until I get it)
