Yes. That's my point. Most of us live under terrorist regimes. Black people are terrorized by the police. The middle east is terrorized by the US. We're terrorized by Russia. To isolate a few and to give them the label of &qu

Aren't you making a mistake in assuming that those who fall under this neologism are different? Isis for example wants to be a nation, not just terrorize people. Haven't there been religious crusades of terror for that purpose i

If you have anything more intelligent to say on the topic, I'd like to read it.

I think that's the paper that Eyal & Sirer disprove with "selfish mining". And here's a post that may provide a useful mental framework for thinking about cryptocurrency consensus protocols and game-theory: http:&#x

IANAL, but here's my interpretation. There are two concerns here: (1) The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated and (2) no War

Yeah and that most of the commenters here have missed that point completely. It's an eerie feeling. Or maybe people just don't read articles in their entirety.

Did you read the whole thing? It's an account of the author who writes honestly about his thought process, and in the end finds out that his prejudice was wrong on one count, and may have been wrong in others. The whole article in enti

2 years after Fight Club's (soap and Meatloaf) story of crazed terrorists destroying towers to reset the economic system, some crazed terrorists did exactly that. Imagine what would happen if a likable character who isn't a craz

Yeah I was wondering if our storm-water sewage system is sucking the water out of our lands. But how much does this really matter? There would have to be some analysis of these systems vs land with no such system vs where they are to rain

Any thoughts on the counter-counter-PAC argument above? Also, let's play a game of poker if you're in the Bay Area.

by jaekwon 12y ago
It's really about informing the public, so a counter-counter-PAC may not have an equivalent response. Of course we're getting into information-wars territory.

You'd need a strong root key and subkeys that rotate underneath. To change the root key would require signing by the original root and a new message to appear for confirmation. All this plus something like a notary system to double ch

What worries me is, how do you define what the internet is? If I fork the IP stack and call it IP2, and it is different in some significant way, does that still fall under Title II?

I assume that photons act as waves and not particles. Though they have quantized energy (frequency), there's no reason for me to think that they have locality. If so... The most plausible explanation I can think of is a Monty Hall pa

A Sybil attack is any attack that involves attacking by brute forcing the number of identities. The identity need not be based on cryptographic systems -- it could simply be the number of IP addresses.

> No user-defined objects, just structs. The way structs are supported, it feels much more like objects than C structs. I prefer it much more than say, OOP classes. It's something you need to immerse yourself in to appreciate, IMO

Doh! I fell straight in :) Overflows in general are tricky. How does Rust deal with it?

In Go: func isAnagramOfPalindrome(str string) bool { charCounts := map[rune]int{} for _, c := range str { charCounts[c]++ } numOdd := 0 for _, count := range charCounts { if count%2 == 1 { numOd

Gotcha! So will Rust then auto-parallelize these "pure" closures?

by jaekwon 12y ago
All I did was take your for-loop code and translated into idiomatic Go code. My point is the for-loop in Go isn't as terrible as the loop example you wrote.

by jaekwon 12y ago
Ok, that's a good example. Your one-liner is pretty concise and the intent is clear. I think on a higher level with complex code, you definitely want better abstractions to convey intent, rather than say just having one large function
