You can actually classify mosquitoes and other insects by wing flapping. Time series is a perfect application for things like this.

There are certain things that are, collectively, patently negligent: storing passwords in plain text, not salting passwords, not using, at a minimum, software firewalls, etc. Those are fairly boolean. It's also fair to assume that an

I would envision this system to be something such as: We have a set of standards that define what negligence looks like for data breaches, security, etc. If a company is found to not adhere to these standards they would be found negligent

How is this enforced? For facebook, let's say, is all I have to do is change my country from a non-European country to a European country, and I'm good? Because that is a fairly easy line to cross.

How does this not apply, in any way: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_copyright#History_of_... I don't understand how this is never brought up with regard to API copyright. API's are software, software

Its only been alluded to, a time or too, but never explicitly stated (unless I missed it). But, sleep. Getting >=7 (preferably 8+) hours is paramount. (Also, just about everything else listed in this thread).

To address your specific concerns regarding "learning the maths": that's a bit disingenuous from the people stating it. It is actually logic they are talking about, rooted in the discrete math branch. For seL4 you can actua

That is a great counter example. I expect there to be a slow migration to platforms like [this formally verified microkernel]( https://sel4.systems/ ). This will take time and a tremendous amount of effort. But will ultima

Yes and no. It is a natural progression of the industry. Those who cannot do "formal engineering" probably don't belong in engineering roles. Engineering, in general, imho, can be distilled down to this: Clearly define the

I wouldn't say I've underestimated anything. That was an honest question; as in: "what mental gymnastics did the FCC do to even think that keeping secrets is allowable?" That aside, I would agree with you.

Not only that, in what way does an independent agency having zero ties to national security or the IC have any right to hold just about* anything secret? This is asinine!

what you are suggesting has grave realities for those who cannot or do not want to mess with formal verification techniques. This is the future of computing and a lot of people will be left behind once this catches on.

JetBrains has something that is similar to this: MetaProgramming System (MPS)( https://www.jetbrains.com/mps/ ). It resides exclusively within the context of Java (so DSL) -- so it's not as, shall we say, far reach

why would they? I mean with how they are charging by the GB these days, it gives them financial incentive to not tell you your refrigerator (or any device) is part of a botnet, that's free money for them.

Nope, it doesn't. Even using their own metrics they are abject failures: http://www.latimes.com/opinion/topoftheticket/la-na-tt-tsa-a... http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2015/06/01&#x2
