Roommates have physical access to the network. Principles of security tell us you can't defend against that. Need to change the network.

Specifically if features like function pointers are avoided, and tail call optimized recursive data structure functions are used. Hell for embedded uses if it can just determine it for some functions, and not others (like say anything invol

The point remains that Netflix is paying companies to build internet infrastructure on their behalf. Netflix is building their part of the infrastructure. ISPs are being paid to provide connectivity to the whole internet, not to lay pipe sp

If you mean "blockchain technology" to mean cryptographic ledgers than yes. If you mean blockchain technology as defined by the original bitcoin paper, then why? What use does the system gain by allowing anyone to participate anon

No they don't. They lay a pipe between the tier one network providers and the user. It's the tier one providers (who by the way are not part of ISPs, nor have an issue with net neutrality) who lay the pipe between everyone (google

I mean it's an April fools joke. But considering the fact that it's on a public road, and easily accessible, there may be an argument there. Like I'm allowed to hit crossing buttons, and all that equipment is owned by the cit

Also Italy has a (recent) history of prosecuting scientists who attempt to give their opinion (even if it isn't listened to). If I was an Italian scientist I would stay far away from predicting anything to or for the government. http:

I have a k8s cluster running on "bare metal" of 3 old consumer desktops and 6 old laptops, mostly heterogeneous hardware. It's as easy as setting each of them up as a webserver or database server, but I only have to set up th

Tech companies have colluded on the hiring side in the past. But here is the difference. Companies are meant to be entities that provide economic activity through competition (for example on free markets), that's why governments grant

This appears to be a copy left attempt to build an engine capable of both Age of Empires (especially the 3d ones), Command & Conquer, and Warcraft 3 style games. Interested to see if it ever gets tot he point of running Warcraft 3 custo

Because neural networks are noisy, and they cause small mistakes and misunderstandings like in humans. The AIs concept of an enemy obviously doesn't have as strong of a distinction between "hero" and "creep" (and fo

Yes, but then after reading data, they could train a system to remember the information, and decide which information to look at next, and predict their values over time from what inputs it gets, like humans do.

I think the travel ban is meant to be punitive as much as it is a quarantine. I think the way the OP was suggesting it was travel restrictions to or from a country refusing to cooperate with treaties. Implemented in 30 days, not anyone who

The labor market has never had the useful properties of free markets we see in other industries. Notably price discovery doesn't function in labor markets because there is no way (for most people) to not participate in the labor market

I think you misunderstand that the offset is encoded in the type of the object, so only your 1st concern is valid. For concern 2, it's as easy as finding the type. And without knowing the types you wouldn't know what the code did

by SolarNet 8y ago
Ok, then use the built in Julia features to use any offset you want inside your algorithm's code. Compilers are pretty good about optimizing integer constants.

I don't think the motive is necessarily creating stink. I think it may also in part be because other startups might want to use this technique, and YC is an incubator...

Probably not a conspiracy theory. Just an inevitable "if you can't beat em, join em" sort of mentality. For big companies regulation is generally easier to build loopholes into than fight.
