It seems like it requires a particularly narrow world view to equate censorship resistance with vice.

Really it should be something like 1.2*profits/(probability of discovery) so that the expected return on criminal activities is negative.

> 50 years from now, we'll have a global system that coordinates the rotation of antibiotics so we use them in lockstep. That is really cool idea.

In the example of the dirty bomb, I'm not sure that the number of casualties/cancer incidences is especially high, based on some brief search. Sept 11 seems like it was a more damaging attack, for example, and that seems roughly a

I should say - that's not to say that the technical content isn't very interesting. I just think that the solutions to violence are better considered from the perspective of preventing people from becoming violent people, rather t

The number of people killed by terrorism in developed countries per year is, what, a hundredth of those killed in car accidents? A tenth of those shot in Chicago alone? http://www.businessinsider.com/death-risk-statistics-te

It's just not a fair comparison. No reason to get in a tiff.

Pop science, business books, political books, that sort of thing - proper graduate-level math and science textbooks definitely have plenty of content. Sometimes those can even be on the opposite side of the spectrum, where the focus is too

This may be an unusual opinion, but I read a lot, and I've found non-fiction books to just not be efficient means of educating myself anymore. Most topics can be illustrated and described in far fewer words than a book takes. I get abo

FYI, foot wounds are very susceptible to infection. So yes your kids may have better arches, but if they get a severe infection from a splinter in the deck that's probably going to offset those benefits.

The "rounding" he's describing is the "beating" you're describing. If the game you play is just long term sums of values then expected value is all you need, and in your example they're all even.

This model of Apple/Microsoft comparison is approximately 5-10 years out of date. MacOs has become a sweeter malware target, and Windows has hardened up since XP. Similarly, OS stability is not clearly dominated by one or the other in

How well does Dub work? That could be another issue preventing widespread adoption.

It's one thing to say "this has value for some people" and another to say "you're legally obligated to do it this way (costing $x more)".

Thanks to the 23andMe test I found out have I think 6 of 8 rare bad variants of various genes that give me what's currently estimated at around a cumulative 50% chance to develop a particular type of leukemia late in life. Of course, 2

I don't really see how it's a problem that it's "leaking" a tuple API - it's not like there's private methods in Python. Everything can see everything. If anything having the state of an object available e

For people asking about the amount of energy we're talking about, the energy density of a magnetic field is |B|^2 /(2mu_0). It appears that the described structure has something on the order of the cross section of Mars, and I&#x2

This is pretty cool. Back when I was DJing I would have definitely bought this (and may yet, if I put my setup together again). I'd suggest showing this working with Traktor or Serato - Ableton can functionally do something like this a

I think a few people have open-sourced various audio fingerprinting algorithms. Perhaps we should standardize around one and enable real UUID for audio files? That seems to be the missing piece for a lot of the novel functionality you'

Side point, but am I to understand from this that there is an email list "cs.opinion" which is "no-holds barred and often both agressive and personal"? That seems like a terrible idea in a professional environment.
