Polynomial time is unbounded. Indeed constant Time is unbounded.

Unless you never get the real time doesn’t this just push out the problem to statistical analysis of differences between real and fake time?

I’m a bit puzzled how this helps prevent handcrafted binaries from exploiting CPU designs.

I do like the brief and to-the-point introduction. Stimulus seems somewhat similar, or at least similarly motivated, to a framework I've been creating as I go -- https://bindinator.com/ (It's gotten quite a bit bi

It doesn't matter. Uber doesn't hide the fact that they charge more during demand surges, and the fact that there is a demand surge is more info than cab companies usually provide; typically they'll take your booking and li

Well it's not like Android phones advertise "comes with malware direct from Google Play store" and "malware can run your phone so hard it will deform, catch fire, or explode"

Surge pricing is actually a great feature. It’s the low base bay, lack of benefits, and screwing with liability that are loathsome. You had a choice of NO CAB or an Uber at triple rate. Didn’t want to pay? Clearly someone else did. Economic

The thing about the lesser of two evils is that it’s the lesser of two evils and picking it over the greater of two evils is a good choice. That said, the most important issue of our time is climate change and the difference there is utterl

The Democrats were pretty much unable to pass any legislation worth a damn after 2010, which is why everything done afterwards is so easily undone. One party is for dealing with climate change, privacy, net neutrality, healthcare, etc. It m

Well put. Having worked with plenty of software developed by the priesthood in the era of the cathedral might I observe that it was mostly fractally terrible. For every UNIX there were so many terrible pieces of software, and UNIX itself is

When your hand moves, does it pass through an infinite or a finite number of positions at a finite or infinite points in time? Infinity need not be big.

Doesn’t seem like a new theory so much as a description of a possible lemma (...real soon now) for behavioral economics.

Apple did some pretty brilliant stuff with testing. E.g. they had it silently test install itself on random user devices, verify everything was fine, and revert for several versions prior to release (presumably they picked users with suffic

I have fond memories of Mr Rogers, but really find it pretty unwatchable (and so did my kids when they were of age). They loved Thomas for a while and fortunately they didn't absorb the ideological disaster embedded in virtually every

Oh of course you're right (/facepalm). But does/did Solaris have anything worthwhile to offer over BSD/Mach.

by Tloewald 9y ago
I doubt Apple or NeXT would have ported their platform to Solaris (from BSD/Mach). it seems to me that BSD would have been Linux if Linux hadn't happened.

So what this says is Cloudflare believes in providing service to anyone until it causes bad publicity. It's certainly not a morally courageous stand, but fits in perfectly with most tech giants.

I think this entire argument is classic "logic overreach". This is all socially constructed. There is no perfect logical algorithm for deciding what is reasonable. The rule is more like "don't randomly screw people&quo

Have quantum outcomes been tested for the kinds of statistical not-quite-randomness that PRNGs have? Aren't the measurements far too imprecise?

I agree that the author's arguments have been misrepresented, but as much by the author as anyone else. What we have is someone who is trying to couch borderline crazy views as reasonable and thoughtful and is smart enough to keep the
