This seems to be transforming into a link spam source awfully quickly. Too bad, because it has a certain kind of appeal.

Time will tell. While he makes some interesting points, I think he misses a core distinction on this point "BitShares had all of the tools, the talent, and the money... [and failed]." I had never heard of "BitShares" bef

Anyone have any suggestions for a Pebble Core competitor that exists today? (I don't want to wait until deep into 2017 for the Core) I'm basically looking for: iPod shuffle, but with BT audio and ideally compatible with a streamin

by quinndupont 10y ago
Also, for the Core at least (the one I'm interested in) it's an early 2017 projected release date (and I have bought enough Kickstarters to know that this slips). Seems to me that a normal retail experience simply would not suppor

In Canada, FWIW, you can get tranched plans from most carriers starting at $5 month (it is their "tablet" option). The bills go up pretty quickly if you use it much, but still a decent option.

Aah, but that's the rub. The result isn't actually random, it is only "computationally indistinguishable" (or, some lower threshold, since it is only in the last few decades of the multi-millennia history of crypto tha

Surely you don't mean random. At best you mean pseudo-random, but either way, the result isn't random (because after all, you'd be left with something scrambled, not encrypted). That's the entire conceptual point of cryp

It's a shame that so little philosophical thought has been given to cryptography. In fact, the very concept of order appears to have been lost in all contemporary discussions. Consider Leibniz's discussion and you may see some sho

This is precisely right: "Similarly, a black box obfuscator would provide a way to instantly convert any private cryptography scheme to a public one that could be performed over the Internet by strangers. In a sense, obfuscation is th

Yeah, me too. I can't tell if the system if just getting hammered, or if it is a problem with the FB integration.

I've been looking into putting Crypton to work in a web app, but because of authentication issues with web browsers, there's still serious risk of "man in the middle" attacks (which the Crypton website details). Really w

Yup, it's a one way service. Here's a brilliant (long) read on the wild ways of pigeons: http://www.nytimes.com/2015/03/05/magazine/the-pigeon-king-a...

It's certainly not a tutorial---it's written by academics, so the venue is pretty typical.

Anyone know where this video was shot? Is McAfee a big book collector?

by quinndupont 11y ago
Yeah, we don't really (other than, perhaps, physical experiments as cookingrobot's reply suggests). I think such investigations are fun, but also presuppose a very misguided concept of the human and sociality.

I'm pretty sure the author is referring to the shift in distribution (the movement of the curve), not that medical advances will one day make us able to live past 130 (otherwise the whole point is moot).

Ahh, yes, the fallacy of using history to predict the future, with math. This is a fun kind of math problem, but it completely ignores a huge wildcard, namely, human ingenuity and technology. These kinds of predictions have been toppled man

@tomkinstinch What kind of performance hit can we expect with this? (Innovative solution until iOS 9!)

This is a really important point. While the article makes several strong conceptual points, the metrics won't necessarily stand the test of time. There's nothing particularly "natural" about design, so anything that beco

Ahh, the free market is great, until it totally isn't. I look forward to seeing what new revenue strategies the truly innovative companies will come up with. We've all been lulled into the complacency of cheap and easy ad dollars

What I find so amazing is that the SEP isn't for the faint of heart---it is rigorous and challenging to a fault, and rarely ever holds the reader's hand. Amazing it has had so much success, really.
