Yours is mathematically nonsensical. You either have discrete containers that denote privacy relations between information and parties or you do not have it at all. Privacy does not exist on a gradient on a computer. You can not calculate t

That would be fine, if the 'people who perceive' would realize perception is much more variant and undecidable than 'people who perceive' acknowledge.

I am not particularly looking for a debate today; but this seems to be a disagreement of terms when using the word "provable". Just because a polynomial time algorithm can not be constructed to distinguish a single record does not

I just sort of abstract over the specifics of the implementation of arrows and assume there is an arrow that denotes the 'kind' of arrow. Does it express a monotonic function (order preserving), does it express a non monotonic fu

I scanned through the first 50 slides or so. I've read and drawn out the first few chapters to myself of "Categories for the Working Mathematician", so for me - this was a very nice presentation that graphically illustrated t

Sure, but there will still be bugs. We might have to figure out what a bug is semantically on the next layer of abstraction as we are developing it (and have the capacity to formally describe it), but there will be opinions, and thus there

It is a long tail distribution and it happens because of different computational complexity classes. I don't really know if there is anything to be done about it. I'll give you a high grumpy old forum five though.

There's little point to understanding it unless it affects you. Most people think things don't affect them, and sometimes it can seem like just thinking about it can make it affect you when it didn't affect you before. Even I

I started using Photoshop when I was maybe 12 years old. I learned to be skeptical of every image, every advertisement, and there is so much more psychology, philosophy and art theory I could go into. I am 'female' and I grew up t

I can love both family, friends, coworkers, and research. It's a slow process of the accumulation of a lifestyle. It doesn't happen over night, and I can't force it. That's the biggest thing I've learned since leavi

Maybe it's accepted over time, or maybe it isn't. Maybe a lot of time makes it easier to deal with losing literally a chunk of yourself. But I don't think it does. "It's that if you want to make a human being into a
