IE9 sees 2.35 Million Downloads in First 24 Hours
Microsoft Internet Explorer 9 is off and running with 2.35 million downloads in its first 24 hours. The non-beta version was released this past Monday at 9PM PST, so for that first day people were acquiring IE9 at a rate of about 27 downloads per second. That's around twice the downloads of the IE9 Beta, and a whopping four times the amount of downloads for the release candidate.
Though Microsoft is totes psyched (and they should be) about this turn of events, the record holder for most downloads in 24 hours has been rock solid for almost three years, and that blue ribbon will remain with Mozilla's Firefox 3, released June 17 of 2008.
Mozilla is poised to release Firefox 4 next tuesday, and already enjoys a very large percentage of worldwide browser market share, according to this graph from StatCounter:
Internet Explorer still has the lead, but not by a steady enough margin for it to be...

Microsoft Rolls out IE9, Web that has Beauty
Microsoft just released the "final" version of Internet Explorer 9, the Browser That Started It All. Sort of.
Though there are bound to be bugs nonetheless, Microsoft is touting some pretty impressive features. Though the browser comparison on their website is a bit outdated, here are some of the options that a user just won't be able to find in Firefox 4 or Chrome 9 (Betas):
- Full hardware acceleration for text, graphics, and video provided by default
(IE9 utilizes your computer's CPU and GPU to optimize performance)
-Notification when add-ons slow browser performance
(this would be very useful with all the plug-ins and add-ons available for any browser
-Visual search suggestions as you type
(don't Google and Bing just..already do this, in any browser?)
-Jump Lists and thumbnail preview controls for pinned sites
(Mirrors Firefox's Panorama in function, re: a better bookmarking/tabbing system. Also the added feature that you can set the "pinned" sites to notify you when content changes- sort of like an RSS feed, but controlled by the Browser rather than the host site. Pretty cool)
-Accelerators for quick access to web services without leaving the page
-Most protection against socially engineered malware

Futuremark releases 3DMark Vantage v1.1.0
Futuremark have surprisingly released a new version of 3DMark Vantage, v1.1.0 - included in the update are some significant changes. The Basic Edition, which used to cost $6.95 is now free. Users are open to put their GPUs through all four of the main tests, view their scores online and compare their scores with others on the ORB.
Other changes include display scaling which has been added to improve display compatibility. By default a PhysX processor won't accelerate Cpu tests. The Futuremark SystemInfo component has been updated to detect the latest hardware - be it, CPUs, GPUs, etc.

Firefox 4 Released: Better, Faster, Stronger
A release candidate of Mozilla Firefox 4 is now available for Mac, Windows & Linux. The new version of the open-source browser had previously been in Beta for the past month and a half, but no worries- Firefox 4 Beta users' browsers will update automatically.
Mozilla is reporting that around 70% of their existing plug-ins and "add-ons" are functioning with the RC, including my personal favorite, Panorama, formerly known as Tab Candy. This is a fantastic feature for tab-addicts like myself who commonly have +20 tabs open at any given time. Panorma allows you to organize and aggregate tabs into themed or customized arrangements away from your browser window, so it's easy to see them. A large improvement to cycling 45 tabs who's title heading is one letter long.
Much like the recent Safari and Chrome updates, this update should improve Firefox's speed substantially from its previous version. And according to Mozilla, they've fixed over 8,000 bugs (wow).
If you're a developer or a tester, don't forget to check out Mozilla's Web O' Wonder.

As the third biggest city in the US, it shouldn't come as any surprise that there are some great parties to be found all over Chicago. Whether it's tailgating before a Chicago Bears game, celebrating a Cubs victory at the bars in Wrigleyville, or dancing late at a fun club, there are plenty of options for all types of parties in Chicago.
Known for being more of a beer and sports town, it would be easy to miss the great party scene right under your nose. Big-time DJs play club gigs all over the city, and – if you know where to find them – there's always an underground warehouse party where drugged revelers dance all night.
Some of the hottest club nights in the city take place at Enclave, one of Chicago's most exclusive clubs. This River North favorite is 15,000 square feet of booming music, bars, and dance floors. Guest DJs highlight promoted nights and the action can remain hot until 3am.
Another big party spot is Bottom Lounge where everything from salsa nights to DJ parties to live music events takes place for a more discerning music-loving crowd.
No matter where you're partying in Chicago, there's always something new and different to try. So check out Party Earth to find out when your favorite DJ may be passing through town, or when a little known party is happening in that abandoned industrial building around the corner.

The report "Public sector banks account for bulk of customer complaints in 2011-12" (November 9) makes one wonder whether the banks would show any improvement in the current year. The Reserve Bank of India (RBI), in its circular dated September 3, 2012, directed banks to issue only CTS (cheque truncation system)-2010 cheques after September 30, 2012. With just about two months before these cheques become invalid, at least one public sector bank, Central Bank of India, continues to flout the RBI directive. As late as October 31, 2012, customers have been issued cheque-books that are not in accordance with the stipulated CTS-2010 standard by their Hadapsar (Pune region) branch. Is this not wasteful expenditure, customer harassment, and deficiency of services? Perhaps, the solution lies in the su-motu action by the ombudsman on flouting of RBI's directives.

This package of stories about the future of scientific innovation for Compass magazine challenged me, but I hope all of you find it informative. To see the complete package of stories, go to compassmag.3ds.com. This is the lead story and it has just been published.
I'm reading a lot of blather these days about how fast the Chinese economy is growing, and can continue to grow, and about how soon its total size will surpass that of the United States. These are the wrong questions to be asking. The Chinese, with four times as many people as the United States, should become the largest economy at some point. The real question is whether they can compete head to head against our most sophisticated industries such as semiconductors.
One of the drums that I keep beating is that we Americans need to do a better job of commercializing the ideas that come out of what I call our "idea factories"--our universities, research institutes, and weapons labs. We blew it with the transistor, for example, and the Japanese took the idea and created the transistor radio industry. Remember the transistor radio? Now here is another example where we had some fundamental breakthroughs in technology but the economic model, i.e. the old RCA, collapsed, causing the technology to flow elsewhere.
Give me a break. Stuart Hoffman, chief economist at PNC Financial Services Group, was quoted as saying this after the latest job numbers were reported: "I think we've finally reached the promised land of a self-sustaining, self-reinforcing economic recovery."
It sure doesn't feel like the promised land to millions of Americans who can't find well-paying jobs. Economists keep trying to peddle these grand pronouncements about a return to healthy economic conditions. I wonder what's in the water they are drinking.

More Naked Photos of Vanessa Hudgens Leak Online
Just a month ago, the 'Sucker Punch' star was spotted in New York City adding some ink to her collection of tattoos, and now, for the third time in just five years, naked photos of the 22-year-old starlet have popped up online.
The latest set of photos are particularly graphic and show Hudgens flashing her breasts for the camera, in addition to shots of her kissing other girls, among other private acts.
In 2007, when the first set of nude photos leaked, Hudgens said, "It was really tough because I'm a private person and for something like that to happen, it's so mean."
Critics have noted, however, that the timing of the leaked photos has generally coincided with the release of a film starring Hudgens, including 'High School Musical 2' in 2007, 'Bandslam' in 2009 and this month's 'Beastly' and 'Sucker Punch.'

I agree with the Post where it was stated that Vanessa Hudgens has a "phony smile". I thought I was the only one who thought that. That smile is the biggest phoniest smile I have ever seen in my whole life. Vanessa Hudgens more than likely has already filmed porn movies as well. Disney should dump her. Let the porn industry pick her up. She can flash that big phony smile to them.

After a successful launch at last year's Painting & Decorating Show, Dunlop, specialist manufacturer of tile adhesives, grouts, finishing and ancillary products, is back this year with an exciting new addition to its Pro Décor range! The Dunlop Flexible Acrylic Filler is a gunnable jointing filler for use in caulking applications such as skirting boards […]
Sticking with the specialists… and a little bit of acrylic primer
You've just had a call from an un-happy customer. Three months ago, you were commissioned to re-tile their newly fitted bathroom suite. Looking back, you prepared the area, primed it, put down your grout and adhesive and did a great job on the tiles – the customer was thrilled with the job. So why, a few months later, has all your hard work gone down the toilet and all your tiles, adhesives in tow, fallen off?
- Not commonly know amongst all tradesmen, there is a huge difference between using a PVA primer opposed to an acrylic primer
- You'll all remember PVA glue from primary school. The stuff that, to the teachers' dismay, ends up all over your hands, but with a touch of soap and warm water it's soon gone. Fundamentally, that's what PVA primer is
- Jane Deegan, Assistant Brand Manager of Dunlop Adhesives discusses the implications of using a PVA primer as opposed to an acrylic primer to encourage jobbing builders not to get themselves into a sticky situation
- When a substrate surface is treated with PVA, it partly soaks in to the body of the substrate and partly sits on the surface in a similar fashion to wallpaper paste
- When the tile adhesive is applied to the wall, the water in the adhesive causes the PVA to become "live" which prevents the adhesive from penetrating the substrate resulting in a poor mechanical grip
- An acrylic primer soaks right into the substrate and stops the sponge like "draw "effect
- Tradesman should know, when using a cement-based adhesive, it should not be applied directly to the plaster substrate as it causes a chemical reaction, a problem known as "Ettringite failure"
- Using an acrylic based primer will prevent this chemical reaction from happening

I will remember out loud the truth about who God is.
Isaiah 63:7-14
November 23, 2014
Depression and preaching
I could not sit down on Thursday of this past week to write this sermon without hearing Wednesday night in my head. This fall I have been leading a marriage class each Wednesday evening, mostly video-based. We've had a lot of fun talking about marriage with about 40 couples involved at various times.
Wednesday night was not our most fun class, but it might have been our best class. A lot of times discussions about marriage – even in a class like ours – live on the surface level. This week we went deeper. The topic assigned by our video series was Depression and its effect on marriage. One of the couples in our class was vulnerable enough to share their journey. For most of their married life, life was so good they would say things like, "We have so much to be thankful for. Life is so good. So many people have problems, but we're each other's best friend, we have three great kids, we have good jobs and a great house and big enough plot for our garden. God's been good to us."

Number of Pins Traded for: 8
Number of Miles Walked: 5.82
We've done it; we've reached the final day in this trip report from
1997 February. I bet some of you thought this day would never come! Well, to those naysayers, I'd like to blame my tardiness in the past nine months on the following (yes — in the same time it took me to write 11 blog posts, I could've created life; no, that wasn't one of my excuses): being laid off, looking for a new job, moving to a new state, starting a new job, laziness, an over-flowing DVR, travel, sleeping, drinking, floating, and otherwise living life to its fullest. Moving forward, I'll try and stop all of that nonsense.
So there we were, Tuesday, February 4th, waking up on our last day of vacation, always a shitty feeling, when I realized that I felt shitty for another reason as well: I was most definitely sick. Whatever had started sneaking up on me in the days before had finally overtaken my Courvoisiugh-weakened immune system. Twas not a good morning at all.
We packed up our belongings (no small feat, as you can imagine), leaving probably enough food behind to stock a local soup kitchen for a month. And another shocker: my suitcase came to 55 pounds.One down-side of checking your luggage at the resort: they take that weight limit seriously (and I understand why — they don't want to be hit with the overage fees), whereas usually at the airport, if I come in at 53 pounds, I can bat my lashes, remove a scarf to make it look like I tried really hard to lessen the bag's weight, and then the ticket agent agrees to let it slide.
Not so with Disney airline check-in CMs.
So there I am, full body aches, opening my suitcase on the curb, desperately looking for anything heavy that I could actually fit in my carry-on, and finally ending up with a 50 pound suitcase and what felt like a 67 pound carry-on tote bag. FML.Next up on the list of my first world problems (after figuring out what to eat for free breakfast in the Concierge Lounge, because you know it wasn't going to be the oatmeal again): trying to see if the Concierge Level Concierge (CLC) could find out when and where Scoop was to be trading in the Magic Kingdom that morning. Sadly, that was a question beyond the magical powers of CLC. Useless! As if my day couldn't get any worse (woe is me!!!), we reached the boat dock only to find that no boats were running that morning due to fog. Back up the hill we trudged to the bus stop…
Once finally at the Magic Kingdom, we tried once more — this time at Guest Relations — to find out how to best stalk Scoop. This
pathological liar pleasant CM tried to tell me that she didn't have access to that information. "Bullshit!" I cried, and yet it did no good. (For the record — all they have to do is call the Character Hotline or whatever it's called; it's like their Batphone. They have this. WHY DON'T THEY USE IT?!)
We finally, finally found a random HELPFUL CM who was familiar with the Batphone and was able to tell us that Scoop would be out on Main Street at 1:00. Fat lot of good that did us, since we needed to be on the 1:00 UnMagical Express to the damned airport. FMLx2.After a spin on Space Mountain, we wanted a leisurely turn on the TTA. Nope, temporarily closed. Sure, we were able to make our way over to the Haunted Mansion for a ride there, but you know what happened then? The ride broke down while we were on it.
Wait, that's not the bad part — I LOVE being stuck on the Haunted Mansion. If I could, I'd rig it to crash all the time, just so I could start hanging out there, maybe I'd take a nap, maybe I'd wear my cat-burglar suit and sneak out of my doom buggy to explore unnoticed eventually crafting a small fort in a corner of the attic where I could spend long weekends and holidays, whatever — nay, the bad part was that just when I thought I'd have a primo opportunity to bulk up on my "quality" dark ride photos, our doom buggy stopped two cars away from the hitchhiking ghosts scene. Two cars! Two fucking cars!!! Instead of one of the best photo-ops ever, we got to be trapped at the tunnel entrance staring at the back of another doom buggy. I was getting fever rages.After that, I mostly maintained my cool while we rode Pirates one last time, then Thunder Mountain, and then took the long way to Main Street via the train. And that was that. The end. Back to the Wilderness Lodge for our bus to the airport. Had lunch at the Chili's and said goodbye to My Mother, as her flight to Boston took off a few hours before mine to Raleigh.
I then used my time wisely to sit alone at Chili's, drinking two-for-one margaritas and tweeting with Chili's social media folks about how much I love them and how lonely I am and how I don't want to go home and can I get free drinks? They were pretty friendly, but that was a no-go on free margs. Bastards.
To put the cherry on top, as no one was home to collect me from the airport once I landed, I had to take a cab to our house 35 minutes in Rural Tobacco Farmland, NC. As if that weren't a pleasant enough experience, I had the added thrill of having my cabbie comment, "gee… that's an awfully big house for a young woman to live in all alone…" Seriously?! Seriously?!?! I don't live there alone! I swear! I have a giant manly boyfriend and five pet honey badgers!!!! Honestly — who says that?! FMLx3.
Psych! Sh'yeah, like I'd really cap off the most amazing trip ever by moaning, groaning, and anticipating my rape and murder!
I know — let's do the Scooby Doo ending!
… My cabbie turned out to be old man Withers from the haunted amusement park!
Nay, reality is the mega-happy ending. I must take this moment to thank My Mother for what was truly one of — if not the — most amazing trips of my life. I couldn't have asked for anything more. To be able to spend 11 whole days in my favouritest place in the world with my favouritest person in the world, I am truly blessed.
Perhaps my lolly-gagging in the completion of this trip report was that I never wanted the experience to be truly behind me. Each month, as I wrote up another chapter, I was able to relive it, review the photos taken from that day, and be reminded just how special each moment was.
Now, I'm lucky once again to be embarking upon my next magical(TM) trip with My Mother — this very Saturday!!! Thus maybe it's okay to finally end this story, because we're about to make a whole new one :)
Mom, I can't wait!!! I love you.

I have a great-grandmother (Nina Jacoway) buried in "Baptist Cemetery" in Trenton, GA. I am not from the area and I am trying to find directions to this cemetery, but am having trouble finding it online. Is this cemetery called by another name, or is it associated with a still-existing Baptist church, and if so, what is the full name of the church?

Cheese stores from Bay area south to Big Sur, north to Menocino (but ex-San francisco)
We'll be back after, too many years away, for a few weeks in a few months. Where are the good cheese stores now? We'll be mainly along the coast & will have a car so can drive anywhere within a reasonable distance. Please note that we're flying into San Jose & plan to avoid the city of San Francisco. Thanks.
I can't help with stores per se, but be sure to stop at Harley Farms in Pescadero for goat cheese:
If you're coming soon, there should be plenty of kids.
The Bohemian recently ran an excellent article on North Bay cheeses:
The link to the details on the cheesemakers in the story is broken; use this one:
re: PolarBear
Many thanks, PolarBear. I'd come across Harley Farms while poking around online but I'd missed the store in Carmel & that great online article.
Hi Ho Curds, Awheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeey!
re: FishTales
While you're in Carmel, you can also check out Salumeria Luca which carries 30 kinds of Italian cheeses in addition to their salume.
re: seamunky
This one had slipped under the radar too... thanks.
Cow Girl Creamery in Point Reyes is a great stop. Sure they carry their cheeses, but they also carry other local cheeses, as well as a really nice selection from other parts of the US as well as some from Europe. The service deli has a small but nice selection of prepared food, the wine selections are really good (and mostly local as well), and the produce section run by the nicest lady makes for a nice way to complete a picnic meal.
re: bulavinaka
Ah, Cowgirl Creamery... their cheese is widely distributed & we've been enjoying it in many places for many many years. Thanks for mentioning it. If we hadn't known it would have been a shame to miss it.
re: dafish
We had planned to entirely avoid the cities around the Bay... we'd never heard of The Cheese Board... we looked at the website... ***We'll Be There***! Man'o'man does that place look good, & it's only a very few minutes off the freeway to get up to Pt Reyes Station, right en-route with our plans. Many thanks.
Star Market in Salinas has a small--10 ft of case?-- but nice cheese section. Respectable variety. Good local wines too. It would be near your route coming down from SF through Gilroy on Highway 101 , (if you don't turn toward the coast at Prunedale; Highway 156) take exit 326B in Salinas to Sanborne Rd west, and follow Blanco Rd to the corner at Main street, turn right and right again into the parking lot. Get back on Main street and head west out to Monterey on Highway 68. Also, check the regular dairy cold case on the rear wall for some interesting kefir cheese, quark, and local organic dairy products.
Whole Foods in Monterey should also have a good selection of cheeses. The larger Mexican groceries have a good selection of soft fresh Mexican cheeses in their service deli cases. Mi Pueblo and La Pricessa are two chains locally. Great on toast or in sandwiches, tacos, etc.
re: toodie jane
We'll be passing through Salinas en-route back to the airport so your Star Market suggestion is appreciated, thanks.
As much as we dislike Whole Foods' prices we live in a vast zone of no cheese so have their website bookmarked & had already added the Monterey store to the itinerary. We like to stock up & bring cheese back home with us. This is shaping into a tasty trip.
found this recently: http://www.malt.org/forms/cheese-map.php "cheese trails" map!
also, a coastal blog you may want to bookmark for random food mentions: http://coastroad.me/
I just consumed a tub, spoon by spoon, of Bellwether Farms Jersey Whey Ricotta. Silky, soft, sublime. No retail at the farm, but check out sources so as not to miss this and other of their cheeses.
Sadie Kendall's Creme Fraiche is also 'not to be missed', and Sierra Cheese Co out of Colusa makes wonnnnnderful Cream Cheese. And there is a Buffalo Mozzarella maker up near Butte County (Chico area).
re: toodie jane
We've found cheese maps for various other states, Wisconsin & Vermont come to mind. Thought I'd poked around online to see if there were any for California but I missed that one, thank you. Have bookmarked the blog for later.
re: FishTales
it was a random discovery. I think it was a link on Bellwether Farms' site. (?) But most counties within California have a Farm Trails map produced by the local Agricultural Advisor's office ( under the Univ of Calif @ Davis' Farm and Home Advisors program). Just check the applicable county website for a link to a pdf map; most were produced back in the late 90's when the state had money to fund the program, so may not be up to date, but they are a start.
re: toodie jane
The Sonoma Marin Cheese Trail Map arrived today-- thanks again! We'd already booked the Cowgirl Creamery tour at their Point Reyes Station shop, & will now see which other creameries will be on our route. You've helped make this trip a bit more special.
re: FishTales
Is Rouge Et Noir on the map?
re: Stephanie Wong
Yes, they are on the map, thank you. I'd come across them while poking around online so they were already on our itinerary. There's no copyright or other date on the map so I'm not sure when it was published or how accurate the information is.
I'd like to thank you, too, for your detailed posts on this board. They saved me from asking a -lot- of questions because you'd already answered them.
In Carmel I highly recommend The Cheese Shop. They know what they're doing and are very nice people!

Claim: There are some deals you should make but can't.

I'm an EA and interested in signing up for cryonics. After cryocrastinating for a few years (ok I guess I don't get to say "after" until I actually sign up), I've realized that I should definitely sign up for life insurance, because of the ability to change the beneficiary. I place a low probability on cryonics working right now, but I can claim a charity or a Donor Advised Fund as the beneficiary until I place a sufficient probability on suspension technology working. In the future, I can change it back if I change my mind, etc.
Any issues that might come into this? If no one sees any flaws, I'm committing to sign up for life insurance with this plan in mind by or during the next open thread, and making a more prominent post about this strategy for any EA+Cryonics people.
It might be worth looking into which life insurance companies are friendly to cryonics.
There's an interesting parallel with Modal Combat. Both approaches want to express the idea that "moral agents are those that cooperate with moral agents". Modal Combat resolves the circularity with diagonalization, and Eigenmorality resolves it by finding a stable distribution.
This thread was prompted by this comment in the Open Thread.
That comment is about utilitarianism and doesn't mention "utility functions" at all.
Shouldn't AIXI include itself (for all inputs) recursively? If so I don't think your sequence is well defined.
No, AIXI isn't computable and so does not include itself as a hypothesis.
the maximally unexpected sequence will be random
In a random sequence, AIXI would guess on average half of the bits. My goal was to create a specific sequence, where it couldn't guess any. Not just a random sequence, but specifically... uhm... "anti-inductive"? The exact opposite of lawful, where random is merely halfway opposed. I don't care about other possible predictors, only about AIXI.
Imagine playing rock-paper-scissors against someone who beats you all the time, whatever you do. That's worse than random. This sequence would bring the mighty AIXI to tears... but I suspect to a human observer it would merely seem pseudo-random. And is probably not very useful for other goals than making fun of AIXI.
Ok. I still think the sequence is random in the algorithmic information theory sense; i.e., it's incompressible. But I understand you're interested in the adversarial aspect of the scenario.
You only need a halting oracle to compute your adversarial sequence (because that's what it takes to run AIXI). A super-Solomonoff inductor that inducts over all Turing machines with access to halting oracles would be able to learn the sequence, I think. The adversarial sequence for that inductor would require a higher oracle to compute, and so on up the ordinal hierarchy.
I have a random mathematical idea, not sure what it means, whether it is somehow useful, or whether anyone has explored this before. So I guess I'll just write it here.
Imagine the most unexpected sequence of bits. What would it look like? Well, probably not what you'd expect, by definition, right? But let's be more specific.
By "expecting" I mean this: You have a prediction machine, similar to AIXI. You show the first N bits of the sequence to the machine, and the machine tries to predict the following bit. And the most unexpected sequence is one where the machine makes the most guesses wrong; preferably all of them.
More precisely: The prediction machine starts with imagining all possible algorithms that could generate sequences of bits, and it assigns them probability according to the Solomonoff prior. (Which is impossible to do in real life, because of the infinities involved, etc.) Then it receives the first N bits of the sequence, and removes all algorithms which would not generate a sequence starting with these N bits. Now it normalizes the probabilities of the remaining algorithms, and lets them vote on whether the next bit would be 0 or 1.
However, our sequence is generated in defiance to the prediction machine. We actualy don't have any sequence in advance. We just ask the prediction machine what is the next bit (starting with the empty initial sequence), and then do the exact opposite. (There is some analogy with Cantor's diagonal proof.) Then we send the sequence with this new bit to the machine, ask it to predict the next bit, and again do the opposite. Etc.
There is this technical detail, that the prediction machine may answer "I don't know" if exactly half of the remaining algorithms predict that the next bit will be 0, and other half predicts that it will be 1. Let's say that if we receive this specific answer, we will always add 0 to the end of the sequence. (But if the machine thinks it's 0 with probability 50.000001%, and 1 with probability 49.999999%, it will output "0", and we will add 1 to the end of the sequence.)
So... at the beginning, there is no way to predict the first bit, so the machine says "I don't know" and the first bit is 0. At that moment, the prediction of the following bit is 0 (because the "only 0's" hypothesis is very simple), so the first two bits are 01. I am not sure here, but my next prediction (though I am predicting this with naive human reasoning, no math) would be 0 (as in "010101..."), so the first three bits are 011. -- And I don't dare to speculate about the following bits.
The exact sequence depends on how exactly the prediction machine defines the "algorithms that generate the sequence of bits" (the technical details of the language these algorithms are written in), but can still something be said about these "most unexpected" sequences in general? My guess is that to a human observer they would seem like a random noise. -- Which contradicts my initial words that the sequence would not be what you'd expect... but I guess the answer is that the generation process is trying to surprise the prediction machine, not me as a human.
In order to capture your intuition that a random sequence is "unsurprising", you want the predictor to output a distribution over {0,1} — or equivalently, a subjective probability p of the next bit being 1. The predictor tries to maximize the expectation of a proper scoring rule. In that case, the maximally unexpected sequence will be random, and the probability of the sequence will approach 2^{-n}.
Allowing the predictor to output {0, 1, ?} is kind of like restricting its outputs to {0%, 50%, 100%}.
I'm not familiar with Kim's touch game, but I did run across a different game that someone came up with to practice applying Bayes theorem, which involved touching people in the shoulder with one of two objects (in the example, it was a coat-hanger, if memory serves), and then testing their ability to update their predictions based on more information about the object they were touched with. I wish I could find that page again, but I haven't been able to find it again. It might have even been linked off of a LessWrong meetup group.
I'm less concerned with getting people to apply Bayes theorem (which would be GREAT, mind) than I am with getting people to be more comfortable with collecting information, sharing observations, and not getting fixated on personal theories. I'd especially like them to get comfortable with making the jump to making reasoned predictions about hidden properties of objects, given their theories about what an object is, but I'd like to find a way to make that process at least as fun as shaking a box to determine its contents.
The first game was just a deck of cards and a cardboard box large enough to allow the object to be flipped (though one type of flip was not possible in certain orientations). The players were all adults and I consider them to be quite astute; I expect that children could also play, and it could be a useful lesson about how to not get fixated on your own ideas, how to incorporate observations from others, and how to share observations constructively.
The idea came up in a discussion with a friend about how terrible our science classes had been as children, and how learning individual facts was not particularly useful.

On Monday, I have to decide whether to eat ice cream or not. After a little thought, I decide it's all right to eat ice cream because <reason>. The reason is a lame reason that my mind came up with because it really wants ice cream.

Minor injuries for Rochester officer struck while responding to accident
Around 7:18 a.m. police, firefighters and emergency personnel responded to a minor accident along Pickering Road near Nadeau Drive. The officer who responded to this incident reported there was another accident in the area around 7:30 a.m.
As a result, Officer Michael Lambert responded to the second accident. After he arrived at the scene, a northbound 2010 Nissan Sentra, driven by Joyce Blanchette, 46, of Rochester, rear ended his police car.
While Blanchette was uninjured, paramedics transported Lambert to Frisbie Memorial Hospital.
The Sentra, which sustained heavy front-end damage, had to be towed from the scene. This accident remains under investigation.

Senator Obama wrote in his 2006 autobiography, "The Audacity of Hope: Thoughts on Reclaiming the American Dream." the following statement:
"The number of immigrants added to the labor force every year is of a magnitude not seen in this country for over a century," Obama noted. "If this huge influx of mostly low-skill workers provides some benefits to the economy as a whole—especially by keeping our workforce young, in contrast to an increasingly geriatric Europe and Japan—it also threatens to depress further the wages of blue-collar Americans and put strains on an already overburdened safety net."
So why then is he Hell Bent on flooding the country with low skilled uneducated workers?
LOL, really?
Let's look at some of ypur points:
1. conditions are different…well, yeah. But the principle of a foreign group coming in and changing the status quo is the same. Do the immigrants want to BECOME AMERICANS or are they bringing the third world in with them (crime, lawlessness, murder,rape). Europe imported death for the native population. What is coming in with the rush over the southern border?
2. "Obama has substantially reduced the federal debt" …. YOUR words. So how come the "DEBT" has increased from 10 trillion when he took office to 18 trillion to date?? Perhaps you do not know the difference between the debt and the deficit.
However, the last two statements are spot on.
Politifact concludes:
Obama said healthcare.gov is "working great now." Compared to the site's functionality in October, that may be a fair assessment.
But for a website four years in the making, there are still a lot of issues that are making it difficult for states and providers, and that has indirect consequences for consumers. It's a fraction of the individuals who faced issues last year, but many complicated and critical functions must be built and tested before the site is operating "great" for everyone.
Check it out…..
and as it turns out they WERE there….technically.
But yeah, I agree President's lie to get what they want.
so let's help them just like we help the kids born in this country to LEGAL parents that mess up and go into the system and have their kids taken from them and put into foster care.
Or is the legal system not good enough for them? Their parents BROKE THE LAW. So tough stuff. Life is NOT fair and it IS HARD.
No, you would rather release criminals into society in the mistaken belief that you are being compassionate. Your actions put those of us that are law abiding legal citizens AND THEIR CHILDREN at risk.
Whose "rights" are more important???
I have addressed that very thin with al of my representatives. I suggest you remind yours as well that we the people let them have office to do the will of the PEOPLE.
Sure… no one else has used the blame Bush idea ….. ever…..
Hey, tell me what your comment has to do with this president – in office for 6 years and counting – not honoring the people and his oath of office?
You say Bush "did it too" and I remind you that Obama campaigned on "changing the way business is done in DC". So he lied?
Just sayin…….
So…you being tired of the "Soros meme" give you a hint as to how many feel about the Koch meme?????
Second, your claim that the Koch brothers are the top money givers is false. Here is the proof.
The Koch Industries comes in at number 42.
Third, the only way to remove that influence is to regulate political ads giving each candidate the exact same access to the media and requiring the media to "donate" time for it.
BUT you seem to forget the golden rule which is in effect forever. He that holds the gold rules.
here you are bashing one another again. Sure, it would be beneficial for the entire world to cut back on greenhouse gas emissions, though I doubt that it would change the course of planetary climate change set in motion billions of years ago from the desert world to the ice ball to the tropical world to the various ice ages done to our current situation. But it makes sense to scale back if possible.
HOWEVER, unless you are able to produce the requisite energy to power civilization as we know it today AND supply the excess energy to ADVANCE that civilization and form the star bound expansion of the human race, then we – as a species – are doomed to extinction.
It's a shame that the only thing government seems to want is to control the masses and do so from the lofty heights of Mount Olympus doling out what those in power deem suitable for the drones of society to subsist upon.
And all the while we sit around and bash each other.
The U.S. Constitution states in Article 1 section 1 that "All legislative Powers herein granted shall be vested in a Congress of the United States, which shall consist of a Senate and House of Representatives."
Article 2 section 3 states that the President elect will swear "I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my Ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States."
Article 2 section 3 states of the president " he shall take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed"
IF President Obama actually uses an "executive order" to change the scope of existing law concerning immigration then he has overstepped the legal boundaries laid out in the Constitution, he has ignored the oath he took twice and has failed to execute faithfully the law as it exists.

EAST RUTHERFORD, NJ - SEPTEMBER 19: Aaron Hernandez of the New England Patriots runs through a tackle from David Harris of the New York Jets during the first quarter at the New Meadowlands Stadium on September 19, 2010 in East Rutherford, New Jersey. (Photo by Andrew Burton/Getty Images)
The yin and yang of the Patriots' season continues. While the team will be without Rob Gronkowski on Thursday, there's good news surrounding New England's other starting tight end. Aaron Hernandez will return from his ailing right ankle injury in the Patriots' Thanksgiving matchup against the Jets, according to Albert Breer from NFL.com. Hernandez first hurt his ankle in Week 2 against the Cardinals. He made a return in Week 6 — playing against the Seattle Seahawks — but suffered a setback which forced him out of the Patriots' last three games. Getting back Hernandez should be good news for New England. He will be able to take over what the Patriots lost in the passing game with Gronkowski out, though there's still questions of how the team will compensate for the lack of Gronk's blocking ability.

Woman plans to hand out obesity letters to trick-or-treaters this Halloween
One woman from Fargo, N.D., identified as Cheryl, has said that rather than only handing out candy to every trick-or-treater who comes to her door this Halloween, she plans to give much more. Candy will be given to those who do not appear overweight, and as for those she deems "moderately obese," they'll get candy and a letter to their parents.
"Your child is, in my opinion, moderately obese and should not be consuming sugar and treats to the extent of some children this Halloween season," the letter from Cheryl states.
"My hope is that you will step up as a parent and ration candy this Halloween and not allow your child to continue these unhealthy eating habits."
The letter first gained attention when Cheryl called in to a local radio station, Y-94, on Oct. 29 to talk about her Halloween plans. Cheryl emailed the letter to the radio hosts, and the letter has since garnered attention on social media.
When first speaking with the radio show hosts, Cheryl explained that she was encouraged by some neighbors to call in and explain her Halloween plan in case others would want to follow suit.
"I just want to send a message to the parents of kids who are really overweight," Cheryl said on the radio show. "I think it's just really irresponsible of parents to send them out looking for free candy just 'cause all the other kids are doing it."
When asked why she couldn't simply refrain from handing out any Halloween candy, Cheryl said she doesn't want to ruin tradition or miss out on the fun.
"I don't want to be the mean lady. I don't want to be the lady everybody avoids," Cheryl told the radio station. "I want all the kids to appreciate that I care about them. I don't want to be against tradition. I just feel like parents should take more responsibility for their kids to be little fat kids."
Reactions to the Halloween letter have surfaced on social media, news outlets and blogs, as well as parenting and motherhood forums.
"What a horribly misinformed woman, and how sad that fat-shaming is still so publicly acceptable," one Baby Center commenter said. "Candy, particularly in the quantities consumed on and around Halloween, is bad for any child of any weight. Singling out the 'fat kids' does nothing to improve overall nutrition and, had this 'concerned' troll of a woman done any research, she would have realized that fat-shaming leads to poorer health outcomes, not better health outcomes."
Other "fat-shaming" letters have been in the news recently. Only a few weeks ago, a school district in Florida gained national media attention after sending home letters to the parents of kids who were considered to be overweight. Many opposed the letters because they were given to the child and could be damaging to the student's confidence.
Also this month, a school district in Washington state has decided to stop regular weight checks that took place publicly in gym class.
Whether a letter from school or from a neighbor on Halloween, many have suggested that such messages could end up causing even more problems for overweight children. Valley News Live spoke with NDSU assistant professor of clinical psychology, Dr. Katie Gordon who studies eating disorders. When asked about the Halloween letter one neighbor plans to hand out, Gordon stated her concern.
"It's just that kind of thing that for some kids, if they're vulnerable, might trigger major problems," Gordon told Valley News Live.
Concluding her interview with Y-94, Cheryl said she doesn't want to punish the child; her goal is to grab the attention of parents.
"I'm not denying any of the kids candy," Cheryl said. "I'm just hoping the parents will read this and think about it while they watch their kids get into bigger and bigger sizes of clothes."
