Any political voting system will need a trusted third party to run the voter registration/identity system, so I doubt the lack of practical homomorphic encryption is blocking this. There are other voter-verifiable systems that don&#x27

We evolved living in relatively small groups where everyone knew each other and exclusion from the group meant likely death. Now we are part of a global social web where at any time, any of our people may be occupied by other parts of their

I think the main benefit is your orders get higher priority during holiday season when it's busy and regular orders may take a long time to fulfill.

I'd be pretty comfortable flying it after all this attention and review. It will probably be the best reviewed passenger plane software developed in America, if not the world once this is over. Boeing deserves a 9-figure fine though, a

Gödel incompleteness applies to any system capable of basic arithmetic.

by rfugger 7y ago
Unfortunately, restricting to only computable maths means disallowing the natural numbers, basic arithmetic, or any equivalent structure, since Gödel incompleteness would apply. I doubt any system without access to the full set of natural n

I think your premises are fair, but assumption #3 ("Any mathematical rule can be computed by a sufficiently advanced computer") is effectively ruled out by Gödel's incompleteness theorem[1] and/or the Church-Turing thesi

He seems to have published no embarrassing or damaging information on Russia (at least in latter years?), and seemed willing to serve their purposes when it came to the 2016 election, by releasing hacked Democratic Party emails timed to do

If they didn't fully understand how it worked, but fraudulently represented that they did, they'd be on the hook. It all hinges on what he was promised when he bought it. If they had a good disclaimer, then he might be out of luck

You sue whoever misrepresented the robot's capabilities to you. There's nothing wrong with making a robot that's bad at trading. There is something wrong with pretending it's not bad at trading when you're selling i

At this point, I don't care about the origin nearly as much as finding an effective treatment :)

To be fair, if someone is overly anxious and neurotic about minor physical symptoms, to the point that the anxiety is making things worse, often the best thing a doctor can do is reassure them that they are fine, to stop worrying, and send

The hallmark of CFS is post-exertional malaise, which is feeling terribly after exertion that is overly strenuous (for you). The onset of PEM can be a few hours, a day, or even a week or more after the exertion, so it can be very hard to p

A sleep study is critical to ruling out sleep issues before getting a proper diagnosis of ME/CFS. No good doctor would diagnose CFS without a sleep study.

On the other hand, there are times when blaming people for their misfortune is appropriate, and serves a social purpose. The hard part is telling when it is appropriate. It does seem pretty clear though that we tend to both give ourselves

Thanks -- I just copied the first link I found in a search engine.

I don't disagree, but I still have hope. Most CFS cases come on suddenly with an infection, and something breaks in the body. That situation may have been brought on by a gradual weakening of the system over time due to stress, etc.,

The issue with CFS isn't to do with stigma against mental illness. It's with the mainstream medical community being uninterested in anything other than mental health treatments for a disease that clearly has a physical (viral&#x2

This is true, but everything is complex only up to the point when you begin to understand it. Scurvy was a complex disease until the discovery that it was cured and prevented by citrus fruit(1). Now we have the technology to skip right to t

My advice would be to come up with a plan to grow the system and design the implementation around that.

Mutual credit accounts have been present at every stage. They became less popular than the cryptocurrency aspect for awhile, but Interledger renews the focus on credit, while allowing for cryptocurrency integration where it is effective.

That's actually my point. Eventually someone will call you and want to negotiate to get partial payment.

by rfugger 7y ago
You might have to just refuse to pay until someone calls you about it. Then you could offer to pay a portion. It may very well be a collections agency calling, and late payment could reflect poorly on your credit rating.

Hey, cool! I worked on something similar a long time ago: http://ripple.ryanfugger.com/ Have you looked into using the Interledger Protocol? It's the most advanced evolution of the concept I know: https://i
