After reading the original paper (I know - what was I thinking), it appears the test setup is as follows:
"A":
- has two inputs, let's call them DATA and KEY. DATA is a 16-bit value.
- has one output, let's call it ENCRYPTED DATA
"B":
- has two inputs, let's call them ENCRYPTED DATA and KEY.
- has one output, let's call it DECRYPTED DATA
"C":
- has one input, let's call it ENCRYPTED DATA
-has one output, lets call it DECRYPTED DATA
In short, they test to see how may bits out of the DECRYPTED DATA paths match the DATA path. Each test utilized a new KEY and DATA. Over time, A and B learned how to use the KEY successfully to hide the DATA value from C while B could successfully reproduce DATA at it's DECRYPTED DATA output.

I have no problems if the scales are tipped, just so long as they are in my favor.
If you want to be fair, instead of "order by score, race", you should "order by score, random". Ordering by race is racism plain and simple. Why not sort by shoe size? The answer is simple: shoe size (for most jobs) does not apply when analyzing for job qualifications. Your job qualifications are (mostly) not dependent on the color of your skin (with exceptions such as actors).

While I don't exactly like that I have to buy a specific phone, I have been pleased with the coverage area + cost. I used to have an area on my drive I called the "Verizon dead spot". After switching over, I haven't had issues with consistent dropping calls.
After you get past the phone expense, the price/month isn't bad: $20+data+taxes.
I can't say for certain, but if it is an old house - the construction materials used could be causing the issue.
The house I live in (built in the 1930s) has a metal mesh backing behind the plaster. The metal backing is acting as a Faraday cage (which causes all sorts of wireless signal issues). I have also heard thick plaster can cause signal issues, but I can't confirm it.
I would argue that there is a shortage of programmers
If there is a shortage of programmers, why are salaries for programmers not climbing? If an industry is in a labor shortage, the price of labor should increase as well to attract more workers to the field. This "shortage" is only one created by employers failing to raise wages.
If programmers made on average $1M/yr, you would see the field saturated with new programmers. As far as the "skilled" programmers - that's another discussion entirely,
Expecting a driver to take control in a failure scenario is not a solution.
Why not, that is the design philosophy for airliners made in the past 30 years and their pilots who operate them. Sit and babysit the machine for 99.99% of the time; then jump in ready to go for the 0.01% of the time the situation is beyond the programming of the software. (In which case the software 1) does wrong thing. 2) just shuts-down while displaying a message to the pilots to let them know that, suddenly, THEY are flying the plane.)
The problem with this is that when an airline pilot is forced to take control, they probably have MINUTES before any real issue will arise.
They are asking car drivers to take over when there are possible issues within SECONDS (possibly less).
Performing a quick search - Aspartame does NOT induce an insulin response:
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pu...
From the abstract "The indicated increased clearance rate of plasma Phe after albumin may be caused by the significant increase of insulin, on which aspartame had no effect."
Could you cite your source where Aspartame does induce an insulin response?
I agree with one exception - there is no way the government will be paying people just for living in the country. That would be a "welfare state" and be deemed evil by too many political elite.
I expect something more along the lines of the movie Elysium (without the space base). A stark separation of the upper class from everyone else.
Subjects with high levels of testosterone behave pretty much like savages animals, I have witnessed such cases.
Are you saying that you are a medical doctor and have analyzed the testosterone levels of this group of males? If not, you are merely making an assumption that these cases are due to high testosterone levels in the males in question.
I do not condone trying to take a woman by force. Until you have actually done the research to back your statements up, I will be left to wonder about other factors (such as bad parenting and poor role models).
So enforcing some kind of minimum price floor on wages, and severely punishing those who pay less? Would that do it?
Full enforcement of the minimum wage would allow businesses to properly compete. There would still be issues with employment and wage stagnation.
By increasing the number of workers in a region that are qualified for a given position, the employer will not need to pay as much (at least to the minimum wage floor). It also will increase the unemployment rate in the region if there aren't enough jobs.
IMHO having an environment where business have to compete for workers is far better than having an environment where workers have to compete for employment.
Are you suggesting that there's a huge amount of US workers just waiting to pick fruit and plant pine trees?
I would say for for a thousand bucks an hour, you'd have people lined up around the bloc to pick fruit and plant pine trees. (1000$/hr is a silly high wage, but it makes a point that higher wages will drive workers to a job)
The problem is that with the glut of ultra-cheap labor, the wages for picking fruit and planting pine trees has not increased enough to drive workers to these jobs. When a business utilizes the ultra-cheap labor, the only way for other businesses to match their competitor's prices is to also utilize the ultra-cheap labor. Businesses following the rules will struggle to get by and possibly close down - being unable to cut costs as much as the businesses that aren't playing by the rules.
Unless the government steps in and severely punishes the use of illegal immigrant labor, the problem will persist.
For an urgent crisis, I would propose food aid from other regions which is laced with birth control.
There would be no need for killing. It would severely limit the population in crisis from getting worse and over time. The region will have its population reduced to the point where aid is no longer needed.
With no aid needed, a sustainable population level will have been reached.
Opening the borders is absolutely the quick patch to the issue, but the long-term compounding of the issue to the point of catastrophic failure. While "wealth" may not be a zero-sum concept, planetary resources are absolutely zero-sum. It is possible to use these resources more efficiently, but there is a limit.
If a region's population has outstripped it's resources, it is up to that population to reduce it's own population. I do not advocate killing people, but I do advocate population controls.
Limiting the number of children to 2 per person can almost guarantee the population will reduce itself to a sustainable level.
It requires:
1. No new people are allowed in (closing borders)
2. Once a man or woman has had 2 children, they are medically prevented from having any more.
3. No fertility treatments are permitted (prevents attempts at having triplets and more at once)
*If triplets or more are expected, there should be no penalty. I do not advocate forcing someone to terminate a fetus because it would put them over the limit.
While I believe in the above statements, in my country it would never come to pass because a person's individual freedom outstrips long-term planning. (there is also a large number of people that would argue that it violates their religious freedom)
If the watch could:
-directly enhance my physical health - not just a health monitor
or
-fully replace my phone+wallet+keys - tethering to another device is not acceptable
*And:
should be capable of recharging in a matter of seconds, not minutes/hours
should be durable so the device does not fail after a bump into a table corner
As it stands today, *smart* watches are only a gimmick that will struggle to gain any traction. Smart watches will most likely never be able to compete vs smart phones. The physical dimensions required for the watch vs the phone will work to the phone's advantage every time.
My apologies for showing my ignorance. I watched some videos from a few days before the Slashdot story was posted - they were in a different language than English. I did not know how much analysis had been done (or how long they had been considering the evidence).
I only stated possibilities that seem to have already been disproved. I'm glad you are here for all of us "internet detectives". I don't know what we would do without you doing your own internet detective work.
The timing of the object falling past him is not long after the chute fully deploys. I could easily see the object being popped of of the top of his chute and then falling past him.
Another possible explanation is that the object fell from either the plane or another skydiver (as he was first out of the plane). I would deem this unlikely, but far more likely than a meteorite.
There really isn't a great way to answer your question without a detailed analysis of your code.
There are more factors to the number of gates required for a given task than just the complexity of code. Clock speed can be a major factor in determining the number of gates required for a given algorithm. Another major factor is the part you are targeting. The number of design elements in FPGAs used can change just by targeting a different device family.
Even if your algorithm was small enough to fit into a part, there are other issues that could arise (such as not enough bandwidth or pins for your memory device(s)).
It sounds like the electronics manufacturer doesn't have the resources to determine the number of gates for you. It looks like your only avenue is to ask a third party to review your code (under NDA) to help you determine the approximate gate requirements. This won't be cheap.
No one is saying that believers are "above the law". What we are saying is that the ACA is not above the law.. The law I'm speaking of is this one:
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances
I think you misunderstand, the ACA is the law - passed by congress and approved by the President. It does not conflict with the first amendment. Please re-read:
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances
By forcing "believers" to provide something they oppose, Congress is "prohibiting the free exercise" of their religion.
The problem is that they merely oppose the use of birth control - it does not prevent them from their beliefs (unless you can cite the line in your religious text containing the words "birth control", then we'll talk). IF birth control were to be offered under the plan but never used by anyone, would it be any different than a plan that didn't offer birth control? The cost would be the same since the offer was never ever used.
The same law that allows "believers" to practice their religion is the same law that prevents government from forcing you to be a believer.
What if an employer has a religion which believes in "faith healing" only. By requiring them to provide any health insurance would be wrong in your view. At this juncture, you have forced your employees to be without health insurance. This forces the employees into the same "faith healing" - effectively forcing your employees into that religious belief.
Meat consumption is not the problem, overpopulation is. If we had fewer mouths to feed, we would have fewer starving people. It is unfortunate that the planet is overpopulated and no one has the stomach to tackle this problem. Africa has a food problem (and probably always will). The US has begun consuming water far above the replacement rate. It won't be long until we can't drill wells deep enough since we have taken all of the water out.
What is the problem with a smaller population? The only argument I have ever heard was the lack of freedom to choose to have more children. If anyone can enlighten me why a reduced population is bad, please do.
