Thanks for the warning by the way! Moved forwardagent to specific servers.
I almost always log into trusted servers, but it's good to be preemptive ;-)
One interesting variant, is the case where the Host opens a door without knowing if that door had a goat. Expressing relief that he opened a goat door, he asks you to consider switching doors.
IIRC, you get less information in this case, since there was a 1/3 chance that the host would accidentally pick the "car" door, but you still have a 1/2 chance of winning by switching.
An attentive climber can see bolts from the ground at up to maybe 90-100 feet away. Mostly because of fortuitous sunlight reflections.
The general idea is that at some point in the future, we might be able to protect these difficult routes. So we preserve it for that. This argument is more legitimate in some cases than others. For instance, maybe someday we'll have some non-destructive way to protect thin cracks and flakes. But it is very unlikely that we can say the same about a barren face.
Caltech also has a fantastic open sourced machine learning course[1]. In fact, students taking the class are instructed to watch these lectures, and class-time is used for answering questions about lectures/homework. (disclaimer: caltech student)

I work at NASA / JPL (but I'm not part of the MSL team, or any flight software team). We learn a good bit about good flight practices though. Here's what probably happened:
Someone found the problem as a behavioral anomaly or weird status bits. It gets reviewed and escalated a few times until the important people know. For class-A missions (I think lower classes too), we have performed fault analysis on each component (and the system as a whole), so that we can match an observed behavior to the actual underlying issue through something like a flowchart. I don't know for sure, but it was probably a bit harder for a bit-flip, but I wouldn't be surprised if they had provisions for that too. However, these high-profile projects are extremely risk-adverse, so they'll review any non-standard commands heavily before transmitting them. teams (plural) probably reviewed this failure before confirming the initial conclusion.
The week was accounting for this through analysis and review process.
(my opinion is my own, and doesn't represent NASA or JPL)
But categorically I would expect it to be a reasonable heuristic.
Nope, 1e9 = 1 * 10^9. He was fine.
But the analysis did not account for the variable number of weekend/weekday days on each day of the month. I don't know how meaningful this is, but it would be worth it to inspect this separately and then weigh it in if needed.
Or wrap it in tin foil for a poor-man's farady cage. You could do slightly better with one of those passport RFID shields if that didn't cut it. Whenever they want you to present it, happily do so and then put it back in its cage
He may be pointing at organizations such as the TSA, which seem to have carte blanche nowadays.
I like knowing where I parked. Further, we have something called valley parking, in most places that I would want to get off for a while.You wouldn't need to know where you parked: a quick text message retrieves your car.
I will get to the airport after all. The only difference, I can have one or two to relax at home with wife, before the flight.
The end result for the self-driving car is identical to the cab case, you can still have your drinks because you will not be driving the car. However, removing the cabbie from the equation will cut costs dramatically.
As someone with a bit more knowledge in the field, can you help inform me: I thought the consensus was that beta amyloid was a second order effect of Alzheimers. Didn't we (as in the medical community) establish that it was now likely to be a result of chronic sugar toxicity? I'll find the relevant study
Devil's advocate here: but the TSA has made it more difficult to attack planes, meaning that they stooped attacks that nobody will ever know about
First, mad props to you for taking control of your situation. Unfortunately, the vast majority of Americans can't (or won't) do that. If americans had control of their own medical actions, they would be even more susceptable to medical advertisements and would ultimately make terrible medical decisions (like, for instance, not giving their children vaccines due to fears about vaccines causing autism).
That being said, there is value to posts like the above. If we want to avoid becoming Reddit, we must self moderate and make an effort to stabilize our culture.
Probably correct, I'm afraid to say :-(
Self driving cars well have to be specially equipped- it's not unreasonable to add LIDAR as the standard fare for these cars. After all, it's extremely well suited for the task
Last I checked, Google has a strong history of only using its patents defensively. I believe that's a good sign :-)
Closest we got, imho, was Obama speaking in support of gay rights. They made a pretty big deal of it in the petitions.
As far as I know, laws? nada
That's my best guess. Worst part is, easy probably didn't even know it was dead
Why is the post by easy dead? It looks fine to me....
Also, publicity... Never discount publicity
The Lidar cost is not a concern in my opinion. What is Lidar actually used for right now? I'm guessing just military, science and research. This makes it very expensive. If there were demand for a million of them, they would cost a tenth as much-or less
Highly relevant question. As someone with a signal processing background, the SFT is so huge that without doubt it should be on this list. Knowing MIT's meritocracy, they would have given the award to more women if it were appropriate
That's funny, sounds familiar.
How do we finance social security again?
We're still getting lots of "not-space" but still beneficial science data out of NASA. I'm working with a team that's tracking pollution dispersion through earth's upper atmosphere right now, and my friend is off at a conference discussing her work on the origin of life. I think those are pretty compelling research topics.

I don't believe that is the case. Otherwise, we would see a shortage of care provided. Since everyone gets care, the competition with the super rich- if any- is vote driving prices
This is very true. It was actually the argument that convinced me that a public provided healthcare system (at least for preventative treatment) is an awesome idea.
