Agree. There's separate issues at play: the mechanism, what value it adds or subtracts and how it can be used. The critical component is allowing end users to control their own devices. Fair disclosure, I've been involved in produ

I can believe he wasn't sure mathematics was his calling during high school. I wasn't sure I would do a degree in mathematics until near the end, then I did (am no way near a fields medalist). But this is time up to 18-19. There&#

It is also clear that the author hasn't actually read the lord of the rings. It doesn't feature in the films but the scouring of the Shire happens after the defeat of Sauron, in which Saruman and Wormtongue take over the Shire and

Hmmm, I see. I would have considered a political exemption to cover issues of political dissent, but I suspect espionage to be a gray area where it very much depends on political sensitivities. I.e. the US probably wouldn't try to extr

In this case then I mean local local market, not devs working remotely for SV. I am aware. One of my friends does this and earns 2x what I do, in cash.

Ok well I can fix that. Hi, I'm a research software engineer and I don't have a PhD. I'm in Europe. My salary is definitely better than the PhD students' salaries, and I have a proper adult pension as that's a legal

Didn't realize Heegner was in that list. To translate his result for people not familiar, unique factorization means that a number uniquely decomposes into primes. You almost certainly learned this happened in school for integers (Z),

Yeah, ISA says you can. I wouldn't be surprised if other people pick other implementations, I'm not entirely sure why ARM felt the need for QARMA in the first place given there are already extensive choices for lightweight block c

I would not call it the "Manhatten Project" for elliptic curves. Sure, he found a curve that, when used with Diffie Hellman, allows us to treat any 32-byte string as a public key, but note that I said only Diffie Hellman. Edwards2

True. I was mainly responding to the ARM encrypted pointers part with that bit. ARM also didn't invent memory tagging, which might also have come from SPARC ADI (I'm not sure), but they also plan to include that. QARMA itself look

Yes exactly, and your numbers are a lower bound, because the professor must do a few things: supervision of the PhDs, teaching (prep, lecturing, admin), grant applications, peer review (if not delegated to PhDs/postdocs) etc. The actua

There are three types of jobs a PhD could go into: A) industry job (just job to us mortals), B) industrial research lab (a company, but does research. An example would be IBM or Microsoft Research in CS), or C) a professor. For context, I w

Told you it drives people nuts. So big-O implies that the runtime is "dominated" by the term in brackets, or put another way, if I say something is O(n^2) I'm stating that as n->infinity the runtime of the algorithm |R| &l

My favourite approach to big-O questions to to reply O(exp^n) to everything. When asked I point out that whatever it is, exp^n surely bounds it. This'll go either two ways. The interviewer will reflect on whether it is a least upper bo

That's not quite what I said. I said the article's insinuation that D-Notices are some mysterious gag order and are being used as part of the UK Government's campaign of terror on Assange is wrong. I might be reading too much

Yes. The reason for this is that the Official Secrets Act makes it illegal for anyone to keep or share anything that is "official information" under it except for "official purposes" i.e. for your government job on a gov

by zahllos 4y ago
I would reply to a sibling comment, but I believe this ought to be top level. I believe the author is conflating "D-Notices may be used to ask the press to self-censor" versus "'the man' is censoring Assange".

I'm fairly sure they were abusing the standard with this particular technique. Deferred messages are OK if they can be retried later and that's what the MTA will try to do. Permanent deferral I suspect is really supposed to mean &

I am actually for keeping the legacy scheme around for a good while, mostly because there's plenty of hardware even now that relies on it. But UEFI is more sane. Bios systems map the first 512 bytes which are both code and partition ta
