Or attribute-based credentials. Basically, you're challenged and get a one-time, challenger-specific credential for exactly the requested attribute(s) from a credential provider. E…

Errr... that word implies some type of non-deterministic effect. Like using a randomizer without specifying the seed (ie. sampling from a distribution). I mean, stuff like NFAs (no…

You're going to need a bigger boat.

That was my takeaway as well. The weird thing is: since it's someone else doing the initial publication, their omission of copyright credits is costing the artist their copyright. …

I can see that working in a 1-v-1 game, but how does that work in a last-one-standing game? Each game would have 1 winner and N-1 players who lost.

My point was that there is no test (or classifier) that can always guarantee that one definition of fairness by itself, irrespective of the base rate. If the classifier acts the sa…

The thing is: I'm not looking for an unremarkable painting. I sincerely am not interested in one. So spending my money that way would be counterproductive. Related: if you feel thi…

Perhaps, but unless one of them is Walt Disney, I've never heard of them - therefore their fame does not impact my valuation of their work. I can see myself spend 50 bucks on a (to…

No, because he painted something that I find pleasant to look at and consider it worth money. The price is higher because of the artist's fame, that much is true - but that is alwa…

Bob Ross was known in my country (in Europe) due to his show at the time. Not quite universally, but probably closer to a household name than any other living painter was at the ti…

> 2. Two people who are identical except for their nationality face the same probability of a false positive. That seems to fall afoul of the Base Rate Fallacy. Eg, consider 2 grou…

Where I currently live, terminally ill nearing their end often fall in a pattern of eating and drinking less and less, to the point of having nothing (not even water). This process…

Well, to be frank, we currently have such a ship, but we're doing quite a lot to disrupt its capability of sustaining human life. Of course, even if we stopped doing that, we'd nee…

We're already on that starship. Our engine is about 8 lightminutes away. All we need is to figure out how to steer this thing - and how to not wreck it while en route.

Hear, hear! A ToC slide should typically be avoided -- especially if you only show it once. Advice I heard but don't know the source of: audiences tend to have a "stack" of about 7…

Not a native speaker, but I've heard the term "sacrificial pawn" being used in such cases in movies and series.

Most of the processes surrounding and supporting science are not robust against a dedicated adversary seeking to exploit the system. This is nothing new - Newton ordered and then w…

> Oof, that's a huge 'just' in many cases. Alternatively, you could add charging infrastructure in more places. Eg, partially have trolley-like lines on the route to "top up". This…

Around here, houses appreciate in value. Quite significantly, actually. A house can gain 100k in value in just a few years. If you bought it, you're paying off the old price. If yo…

Interestingly, YouTube also lends itself for this sort of thing for movies. You can watch scenes from movies and get the gist, while only spending ~30min on a movie. It's a great w…

As mentioned by thread starter, you can also sell to some national security agency. That way, you're doing your patriotic duty and making a buck. So Google has an incentive to at l…

Quite a few negative feelings towards Nintendo of America (NOA) in the comments. A lot of "evil Goliath" style comments. I think they probably did the right thing. IANAL, but I'm p…

In addition, your experience and this statement aren't mutually exclusive. As for evidence: political developments in the EU and America(s), including the US, as well as policy cha…
