The title is unfair in suggesting this is a result coming from Oxford institutions alone. As correctly put in the EUROfusion official press release, the EUROfusion consortium comprises "4,800 experts, students and staff from across Eur

Not quite so. The authors of the paper describe Soundscape Ecology as being: [A]ll sounds, those of biophony, geophony, and anthrophony, emanating from a given landscape to create unique acoustical patterns across a variety of spatial

Other ancient musicians? Suggesting that a contemporary is ancient is a bit too far stretched and disrespectful in my opinion. Ruth Slenczynska is publishing a new album in March, which suggests that she has something to say to us all.

The fact that Suetonius wrote some of his works in Greek does not mean Caesar spoke Greek when murdered. Hence attributing to him the Greek 'kai su teknon' is as much inaccurate as any early or later tradition.
135.
by adg001 5y ago
All interesting; however the quote attributed to the dying Caesar is 'Tu quoque, Brute, fili mi?' (You too, Brutus, my son?) and not 'Et Tu, Brute?' (And you, Brutus?). I understand the space constraints for the title, b

There are a number of properties that a carefully designed asymmetric backdoor is expected to have. NOBUS (Nobody But Us) and forward-secrecy are among them. With a forward-secret backdoor, if a reverse-engineer breaches the key-generator,

If statistics are considered sensitive, you can use cryptographic counters in lieu of their plaintext counterparts. A cryptographic counter is a public string representing an encryption of a quantity, satisfying the following properties: 1

I didn't questioned the ad-based internet ecosystem. My question was about the AdTrap competitive advantage, if any. I should have stated it better: assuming, for the sake of discussion, that we want an ad-blocking device, what will prevent

No, you cannot. If you do it, your UTC time difference might be one or more seconds off. And this is not what you want, if you need to rely upon that quantity. Only one Coordinated Universal Time exists: it is the UTC standard. ECMA-262 is

by adg001 14y ago
Ignoring leap seconds will not make them disappear :-) They belong to UTC not to ECMA-262. Therefore, whenever we compute the difference between two UTC times, we should really account for any leap second.

Actually, this is not accurate. Before relying on our models, we get also the opportunity to validate them by checking at what extent they successfully predicts future data points. Simply for the next t-time periods let the model give the u
