You'll do the same thing most other professional industries do. List the requirements for the job: x to y years experience with technologies a,b and c. Grab a handful of the most polished resumes, interview them for personality, and hire the one you liked best.
Pattern recognition and aversion to repetitive behaviour on a micro level. Ironically oblivious to the repetition on a macro level that is most of our entire lives, but that’s another story :)
Full disclosure: I don't disagree. In fact, the TV show is pretty funny.
That said, in the name of viewers and profits, they are drawn to the mundane and the minutia. Yes, the model works for them. But that doesn't mean every media source has to be so disposable in terms of actual quality/value of the message delivered.
so is that the magic formula for PR damage control for the next internet disaster: join their group with many shill accts, pretend to go along with the conspiracy and make it bigger and more obnoxious than before, drawing on racial/anti-semitic tropes, then with your main mouthpiece, criticize the disaster as being racist/anti-semitic therefore clearly false?
I don't know how you can criticize a disaster as such, but honestly this wouldn't surprise me if it were being done.
My plausibility test for a conspiracy is: is there a sufficient motive, is the effort required commensurate with the motive, and how many people need to be on the take for it to work. This kind of thing passes all three.
Tangentially related, but I wonder how long before HFT harnesses neutrino transmission to send market data directly through the earth? The MINOS [1] project is underway to send neutrinos from Fermilab in Illinois to detectors in northern Minnesota. Straight through the earth's crust.
Detecting neutrinos is hard, and modulating data on them will probably be even more difficult, but if it shaves a few micro/milliseconds off trading time, I'm sure someone will make it happen eventually. HFT have already added dedicated undersea fiber-optic links [can't find source, NYC->LDN is obvious, I think there was talk or they began one from CHI/NYC->TOK but might be wrong, it involved the melting icecaps to easily sink the fiber cable], shortwave radio broadcasts [3], and microwave links [4]. I think HFT is frivolous, personally, but if it helps networking I think it would be cool to someday talk "on neutrinos" through the center of the earth!
So some quick Googling shows that the neutrino beam fires every 1.3 seconds[1] and the 'near' detector on average captures 20 neutrinos, the 'far' detector sees <1 detection [2]. Note that the latter paper is from 2005 so this may have been substantially upgraded.
Each 'spill' takes 8.67 milliseconds, so if you simply vary the firing time to send a signal using coordinated clocks, naively you could send up to ln(1000 / 8.67) = 6.8 bits per second, but at the cost of the very latency that you're trying to minimize.
I'm sure there are smarter schemes, like also varying the neutrino beam density, but at 20 neutrinos per detection there's not much channel capacity in the amplitude either.
It looks like the main bottleneck is in the neutrino generation though, you can use more accelerator beams without needing to build more detectors right away.
Note also that the 'far' detector is only 500 miles away, so depending on how collimated the neutrino beam is you may be losing a lot of signal to get all the way through the Earth.
They got this far with public funding, that's enough for proof of concept. Let the billion-dollar budgets of institutional/prop trading desks see what they can do with this technology.
Already has. The first notable example that springs to mind is "message queues" which were pioneered for use in finance. Companies like TIBCO grew fat on such software and now they are commonplace.
That doesn't seem like it would be actually faster or closer for NYC to HK/Shanghai, close but not a latency improvement at the speed of light? Well I guess if a direct line can be made itll shave off some milliseconds
Agreed, but incorrect language shouldn't be used either. Every word has a meaning. Polluting the meaning of words, either maliciously or not, creates harm because it obfuscates the truth. The truth is he was shocked once for a nonviolent offense. Not continually.
> it is certain that Epstein is not related to the US intelligence agencies.
what about the dreaded possibility that our intelligence agencies are somehow fighting domestic wars for/against specific political interests? In that case, whatever agency "owned him" would want him to ensnare as many powerful people as possible.
