Unless you have unusually good psychological resistance to ads, you're ultimately paying that money back in in one way or another, since advertising is a net profitable business.

Does someone have to believe in all concepts or in no concepts whatsoever?

Advertising is not zero sum because a company can choose to keep money rather than pay for a marginal ad, which may be more profitable. Microeconomics indicates that increased per-unit costs to suppliers (advertisers) decreases quantity sol

Skimmed the beginning of the paper, ISTM that a more accurate, less clickbait description of the work would be: For l-lipshitz-smooth convex functions, there is an existing best known bound on convergence rate with constant-step sizes. Pape

Doesn't seem to be any discussion of what the inputs and outputs actually are here, at least for the "coarse-grained" approach. Suspect there is some "scaffolding" around e.g. register map and memory access, and the

To provide some historical context for this meme, the Xbox One had recently been unveiled and at the time was going to have a mandatory Kinect. It was rumored that the camera would be un-disableable and on at all times.

If the branch can be mispredicted, and the misprediction happens depending on internal state you don't want to leak (cf. Spectre), then you have a side channel even if the branch is never actually taken.

It's not shallow at all, and the above comment teaches more than the wild speculation and anecdotes many of the other top-level comments have.

Geometry isn't really any more "fundamental" than statistics (for concreteness, let's say the geometry covered by the SAT and statistics as covered by the AP Statistics exam). Maybe they are using it as a proxy for forma

That wasn't it's main thesis at all. I don't remember his discussion on "junk DNA" specifically (perhaps I should reread as it has been many years), but the main thesis (to put it in my own words) is that a mental m

It ultimately depends on what your threat model is, what are you trying to defend against? I use Qubes dispvms (whonix if possible) for personal browsing, but that's pretty far toward the extreme end of the scale.

It's weird that there is no reason given here. It's not that I expected a real reason, but there isn't even a fake PR buzzword-filled explanation, there's just... nothing.

You are making a somewhat subtle error here, which is assuming that the (output_rate-input_rate) is statistically independent of the size of the queue. Note that this does not necessarily imply that the output process changes based on the s
