This is a really interesting article, thanks for sharing it. Whether the tic-tacs are Chinese, American, or alien, this just seems to add the the evidence that they are real, and the public nature of the patent application seems to fit within the narrative of a managed disclosure.
ROFL. Actually click through and read this document: https://www.aclu.org/legal-document/nsa-foia-documents-quart.... The title is super misleading. It has the NSA being the subject of the sentence, the entity doing the verb. If you read the document, it's clear that the NSA followed the law in how they sent requests over to the phone companies, and a couple companies made errors in what they sent back. When NSA discovered this, they reported it through the proper channels. This is like, the opposite of nefarious action, guys. A better title would have the phone companies as the subject of the sentence. "Phone companies improperly sent data to the NSA for a second time, documents reveal." Of course, being honest in the title wouldn't misinform and scare people...
Sounds spiffy. Also, I must find time to learn Julia.
One problem with these 'out of a box' cookbook systems is that you only know approximately what you are doing. If it works, that may be fine, but for statistical systems the outcome depends heavily on the formulation, is strongly influence by random or irrational correlations and is more art than science. If you remove the element of experience that animates the "art", you get nonsense. Big box programming tools can make it hard to know what correlations are being established, and this is true with even simple neural networks. By the time they have many layers and filters in them, all hope is fled. You buy the result or you don't: simple as that.
Social time, no go back to your roommate filled apartment with an one & half hour commute one way to work to be downsized, underpaid, under trained, miss manged, and pension sold off to pay for your boss kids' toys.
Why would anyone in Canada feel isolated or lonely?
Why are they even keeping years of call records? This strikes me as something that should be deleted after the current billing cycle (plus a delay for complaints, say 12 months). This kind of just-in-case or I-don't-want-to-push-the-button retention of data should hopefully be given some disincentives by GDPR but there is still a hell of a lot too much of it going on. Storage is cheap doesn't mean keep everything forever, especially potentially sensitive personal data.
"(Is it possible the future will become a refuge for the rich, who experience life as a sequence of exquisite events and who might not understand the concept of entropy as relief or escape?)"
Can physically and emotionally healthy people actually view death as a relief or escape? This idea seems completely insane to me.
As an aside, people who want to die shouldn't/won't be forced to use longevity enhancing therapies to live longer, but I really think some psychological care should be considered for anyone refusing them.
I'm not sure what it is about this video I don't like. It just didn't seem very much like a 3B1B video for some reason. Maybe it's because there were fewer "A HA" moments than in other videos. Maybe its the source material. Just feels...different.
Time is hard.
But like what does it even mean to say something is 4 months away when the months could be different lengths? 4 months is a shorter time if that period includes the end of February. This fixed result is strange but does it even matter?
It shouldn't affected Micron as much considering it already has one of the lower P/E ratios and P/B ratios in the industry. It seems like their declining earnings and exposure to China should already be priced in.
With that said it will probably affect Micron just the same if not more considering Huawei made up, I believe, 13% of their sales last year.
The idea that this is all happening in what was already a down cycle for the industry will cause people to become fearful and impatient.
This also plays a major role in Frederick Forsyths book “The Fist of Good”. It pretty much mentions all the things in the article, I was actually surprised how accurate the book is.
I'm curious if this works when the RSA key is spread across multiple DDR sticks. I have 4 sticks of 8GB each in my home desktop. Would the key be contained in just one? Spread among multiple sticks? If it is spread, would it completely foil the attack, or just make it take longer?
Can’t stand to read this. The parts of a person’s story they’ve chosen to keep private are the parts most likely to get interpreted and twisted—fragile, subjective, even mutable truths they’ve chosen to hold private. That choice is sacred. Shame on those who trespass.
