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.

Fixed it for you. Sensational stories drive clicks.....

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).

To help those out with a lack of understanding - Racisim(2): racial prejudice or discrimination.

If you are talking cell service, you might consider checking out Google Fi.

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.

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,

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.

Should we start analyzing the US military's cost per kill of enemy combatants last year?

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).

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.

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.
