> more quickly than would be appropriate given such probability distribution model. As humans we have much sharper priors over hypothesis space than what we can easily model, which probably explains this discrepancy.

It's not. The first paragraph mentions an earlier discovered exploit for Chrome, and the rest is about a Windows 0-day that was also used in the same attack.

One of my favorite things about the book was that that detail was left out.

Yes, any additional domain you request to has a non-negligible chance of killing the entire connection. To GP, noticing that one request works once from a server (not a home or mobile connection) really means nothing. Every ISP has differen

There are still orders of magnitude more pages of HTML than Markdown, so if you're interested in archival, just store simple HTML. I'd say HTML has a good chance of being interpretable a thousand years from now.

And that's where they are not banned. Many pages simply won't load at all in the PRC because someone thought a Google analytics tracker or a hosted library should load before the content (which then never does).

I believe the point was collective action of citizens leading to governmental action to enforce corporate action.

There is a difference between individual action leading to social change (such as political activism or civil disobedience) and individual action that makes the individual feel better and satisfies the need to "do something" while

There is strong anecdotal evidence that some people are affected by it. However few, or however small the effect size, it is not strictly the same thing as known zero risk.

Running a compiler as root in general is not recommended. It's the principle of least privilege. Running without unnecessary privileges is a good idea for the same reason running in a sandbox is a good idea.

In a container or not, running a compiler-as-a-service as root is never the right way to run a compiler-as-a-service.

Well, no. That is the same kind of error as Zeno's paradox. One assigns a prior to a class of hypotheses, and the cardinality of that set does not change the total probability you assign to the entire hypothesis class. If one instead a

Domains are not case sensitive, but email local parts are! There is no reason whatsoever to do case normalization on local parts of emails on any domain you do not own, as this is strictly incorrect and could lead to a totally different add

You're right, but people tend to have strong priors one way of the other, often unconsciously. This is one of those classic cases where people with strong, divergent priors will disagree more strongly after seeing the same evidence. So

Any chaotic system (highly sensitive to initial conditions) is practically uncomputable for us, because we have neither the computational power nor the ability to measure the initial conditions sufficiently accurately. Whether there is some

If I understand your comment correctly, "deciding whether a particular algorithm ..." means an arbitrary algorithm. For a specific algorithm, of course sometimes it is possible to prove that it halts for every input. It's onl

And yet, if your arm was broken, I bet you'd see a doctor. An IP disagreement with an employer is an acute, not a chronic condition. When you don't have years to acquire the knowledge yourself, you go talk to someone who already h

Actually it does. While it's logically possible, evidence for a hypothesis A is still provided by any data that is more likely under hypothesis A than under hypothesis B. The hypothesis that the mind is computable but is using heuris

If the mind were found to be uncomputable, I think you'd find vastly more physicists would take that as evidence the universe is uncomputable than that the mind is nonphysical.

Asking about something in a weird indirect way is worse on all counts. Just ask directly if open source contribution is encouraged or allowed. If it isn't, and you still want to work there anyway, no company that's remotely decent

The best way to not "go the legal route" is to find out what is legally open to you and what is not, and then negotiate from confidence rather than ignorance. Failing to do legal homework up front is actually an easy way to accide

If the mind were a halting oracle I don't think most of our open problems in mathematics would be.

It would work just as well over HTTPS, they would just have to make a different phone call (to the site hosting the script rather than to the GFW).
