This is confusing, my incorrect assumption was 1 out n browsers meant n = total numbers of browsers evaluated by panopticlick. Rather what they mean is 1 out of k, where k is determined by unique bits. There might be other factor such as en

by aub3bhat 10y ago
I never understood panopticlick, even when I repeatedly visit it, it always tells me that "Your browser fingerprint appears to be unique among the 135,054 tested so far." Shouldn't it tell me that my browser is not unique dur

There is an acceptable tradeoff between pseudo anonymous access through browsers vs non-anonymous access through native apps. To interpret this research as reason for crippling web or browsers would be a giant mistake. Crippling browsers wi

Actually individual physicians who have treated patients have far far lower requirements, otherwise they would not be able to discuss cases with their colleagues and would have a chilling effect on practice of medicine. What the links show

No your interpretation is wrong. Date does not means month. Date contains Day/Month/Year. Here are 2.5 Million raw inpatient visits released by New York State meeting criteria for HIPAA Limited data, as you can see not only do the

You do realize the irony in your argument, considering its the Russian government which has probably the worst track record in recent times when it comes to a corrupt government abusing its power. What you are essentially saying is that [1]

The Google FaceNet and other similar system typically perform an approximate nearest neighbor search in a ~128 dimensional embedding of faces. Here is the paper for the reference: http://arxiv.org/pdf/1503.03832v3.pdf

This is an unbelievably ridiculous argument, the government has data on almost entire population thanks to all sort of identification cards and other innumerable sources of data. Why should corporations and other people be denied the same a

I think the reason for huge support behind Basic Income is failure of government in efficient allocation of its resources. The current generation with its experience with public education, spending on unnecessary wars and other poorly run g

HIPPA stands for Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act. The "Privacy" component of HIPPA is very limited in scope. Even with HIPPA the data being shared would be consistent with definition of "Limited" data

Hi Hal I thought the article should have compared and contrasted with other government run large data sharing programs such as CMS qualified entity or AHRQ HCUP.

You are correct there are already laws and systems in place. E.g. here is an interesting paper in New England Journal of Medicine using California data. Note: Not published by me but someone who I work with. http://www.nejm.org&#

Why are people astonished? For more than a decade researchers have been able to get access to large deidentified datasets. As a PhD student I have access to data on 150 Million visits by 45 Million patients. In some ways the data and access

You are correct in expecting return of public investment. Actually NIH has a policy that explicitly favors "Basic Scientific Research" over applied or application of research. According to NSF and NIH, the primary goal of governme

I never understood the meme about "public funding" translating into "public domain". Just because research is "publicly funded", does not means that the "public" owns it or even has a right to ownersh

As an academic researcher I find it absolutely hilarious that you think the complex social problem of incentive structure and competition will be solved by some Unix OS. If you are interested just take a look at the complexity of licensing&

Rather than spreading "meta" hype about AI being hyped. I highly recommend reading up on recent advances due to Deep Learning and ideas of Neural Processing. To summarize briefly, a lot of core problems in applied machine learning

I think this looks great, but it reminded me of Lightable. Also rather than using Sublime text as a comparison, isn't PyCharm a better comparison. In my opinion Pycharm already provides a subset of functionality, in addition to several
