Sophian posted:This is just more of the same poo poo we are seeing out of Washington insiders: style over content, form over function, "optics" over information. The Vietnam war destroyed millions of lives and PRISM (or something like it) is likely complete and ready for use by Trump to oppress hundreds of millions. The only "proper" and "acceptable" action to take is to drag out those responsible and shoot them in the street. Go cry some more about it, Ellsburg. Keep in mind that the capacity of the National Security Agency or other surveillance tools are specifically prohibited from being applied to U.S. citizens or U.S. persons without specific evidence of links to terrorist activity or other foreign-related activity. In terms of domestic surveillance of any sort, it's probably harder to surveil or use these tools with a smartphone than it was getting a wiretap for a land phone. And both would be illegal without probable cause. So you know, I think this whole story line that somehow Big Brother has massively expanded and now that a new president is in place it's this loaded gun ready to be used on domestic dissent is just not accurate. It doesn't match up with how these things are organized.

spankmeister posted:How is one gas more complex than another? It's just density Figuring out friction or pressure or temperature or radiation or whatever at a given point on or near a body in a hypersonic flow requires getting into quantum physics and complex problems of probability. It's really amazing. You have to factor in things like electron spin and the likelihood that X number of Y ions will touch the body, free electrons recombining in the flow, all kinds of poo poo. It's fascinating. It takes immense computing power. I'm not an expert, but I had the privilege of attending a lecture series on it. E: today's models account for up to eleven "species" of gas in the flow. All the possible ions and combos of gasses that occur in significant amounts in the upper atmosphere.

quote:Why limit ourselves to economics, though? In politics, for example, we say that candidates "race" to win votes for an election, the same way that runners race across physical distances during a competition. If we can find a runner's velocity during a race, then we could also model the rate at which candidates acquire votes.

i found a functional 486 system running a windows 95 installation with some custom software on it in the development lab at work a few months ago. absolutely no idea what it's used for, but it was powered on and running.

KOTEX GOD OF BLOOD posted:are physicists normally this arrogant about social sciences so there's this ongoing problem in academia with the terms "hard science" and "soft science" on the one hand you have papers like this that sneer at social sciences and act like it's just a stupid easy math problem, but even more pernicious is that economists and psychologists all desperately want to be included in the "hard science" corner because harder is stronger is better, right? so they pretend all kinds of absurd magical powers of predictive analysis and come up with demonstrably absurd propositions about human choice and experience. basically if we hadn't turned science into a debate about which sport is better we wouldnt be in such dire straits hth anbd have a yossy posmas

Dixie Cretin Seaman posted:Keep in mind that the capacity of the National Security Agency or other surveillance tools are specifically prohibited from being applied to U.S. citizens or U.S. persons without specific evidence of links to terrorist activity or other foreign-related activity. Yeah this is how it's supposed to work but there's a little problem called the FISA courts. These are secret courts that can grant surveillance warrants with no oversight or any form of civilian accountability or input. They also have had a nasty habit of doing things like, say, lock up innocent people in Guantanomo for years. Also they've literally been caught spying on US citizens a few times now on flimsy pretexts so I wouldn't count on the NSA to even bother with a warrant every time either.
