How does this in any way reflect on either the privacy of DuckDuckGo (I don't think they ever claimed or even vaguely implied that if I search for, say, Banana, no one else will be able to see the results page for Banana, as that would

That depends heavily on where you live. If the most common type of power outage is one that affects a small region, it's quite likely internet connectivity could remain unaffected. I had this experience in northern Sweden, where I had

Worth noting that the Institute for Energy Research was founded by the ex-director of public policy for Enron, and has received donations from the likes of ExxonMobil and the American Petroleum Institute, so while this post may well contain

What advantages would it give them though? It's no faster than any existing means of communication since you still need to send classical information along with the quantum, though I guess it's nice that it can be used for almost

Photographers don't automatically gain copyright of a photo by virtue of it being a photo - they gain copyright when they create what the law considers a copyrightable work. In practice, most photos involve creating or capturing a scen

As I understand it the reasoning given tends to be that ad auctions happen extremely quickly, and therefore too quickly to check some single source of truth for your current budget. Therefore, the budget is only "eventually consistent&

A firewalled IP would be much more appropriate, and NAT is not a firewall or a security mechanism.

C-style languages tend to have squiggly brackets which can limit scope somewhat, but not as totally as you describe. For example: doThing(){ x = 7; //x visible in whole function { y = x*2; //y o

The fact that the math here is wrong is quite concerning. Probabilities are not additive - 1 in 6 dice rolls will produce a 5, it doesn't mean if I roll 6 times I am guaranteed a 5.

Except async communication doesn't disrupt deep flow if done properly since it should be simply ignored until flow breaks or pauses naturally. A slack message won't disrupt my deep work because I'll have notifications turned

Presumably they're referring to Datto's recovery process (i.e. recovering automatically from secondary or tertiary backups), as opposed to just the ZFS mirror.

Key ideas in computer science, such as for instance Chomsky grammars, are derived directly from linguistics. I don't think it's fair to say that approaching a foreign language has nothing to do with approaching a new programming l

That sounds quite intriguing, could you link to some of the papers on this topic as I'd be interested to read further.

But the training process does generalise. The same training process produces an agent that works on a 19x19 board, or a standard Go board, or even a game of chess. How is that not general? Sure it doesn't work for all problems but in t

I think it's quite important to look at the distinction between the actual agent in play and the learning algorithm used. The learning algorithm AlphaGo uses is somewhat general, and can handle different games (e.g. you can put chess o

In what way though? Knowing that I could nullify does not in any way prevent me from properly concluding a verdict based on the laws that are in place. It's only if I choose to actually nullify that I'm not doing jury duty pro

The biggest complaint I have regarding DoH is that it's extremely painful to configure because every application does it individually. If I could configure DoH at the system level, as I do normal DNS, I'd be perfectly happy. As it

I'd be curious to see an explanation of why just knowing about jury nullification would disqualify you from being on a jury - obviously if you intend to nullify or "helpfully" inform the other jurors about nullification you s
