EugeneAZ··on Why is writing mathematical proofs more fault-proof than writing code? (2011)
> I primarily work in applied math areas such as optimization

It may be rather an off-topic, but I suggest you to read my funny paper: https://docs.google.com/document/d/10pTRJFgwEGnUM5RF1CHX2OO5...

EugeneAZ··on Bitcoin Is More Expensive to Keep Safe Than Gold
People also buy shares which don't give them substantial dividends. Many wrong things are overvalued nowadays. See my comments.

EugeneAZ··on Ask HN: Do you think ETH could be as valuable as BTC? Why or why not?
I don't know about ETH and BTC, but USeD would be certainly a thing!

At the time I copied games for ZX-80 on a tape recorder. One 90 min cassette had 260KB of storage. And now IBM make a 330TB one.

Yeah, I need to clarify. Proven by in vitro only experiments:

>Our medical system...

Yeah, an anecdote. The USA spend through the federal (only!) budget roughly $4 000 B every year, yet they don't fund properly even people like Dr. Todd Rider. The man asked just for $2 M for his DRACO research (100% effective proved cure against viruses like flu, herpes, etc) - it's like to ask for two coins from a stack 4 km long. Two coins and four kilometers stack of those. Every effing year!

And do you know how they treated Dr. Tullio Simoncini? This society is fawked, hahahah.

EugeneAZ··on To Protect Voting, Use Open-Source Software
The same way as you supposed (not:) to check it under a paper-ballots voting system. By the Citizens Database - when every citizen's biometric data (photos, eye or ear scans, body measurements, etc.) and contact data is published on holographic discs, magnetic tapes (IBM has one with 330 TB storage). It will allow anyone to verify there are no fake identities there. One may store just a hash table for all entries, if he can't afford those storage mediums.

Have they told you about it?

EugeneAZ··on To Protect Voting, Use Open-Source Software
The most funniest thing is who is just eligible to be a candidate (not mention his chances to win). And how the chosen legislation, which is the result of those elections, is far from the most fair - one approved by score voting in direct democracy.
EugeneAZ··on To Protect Voting, Use Open-Source Software
That's right.

And now do both things _publicly_! For money (or others things you own) you will need a Torrens-like title system with a replicated database among your fellow-citizens. For voting - it will be a database replicated on DVDs (or something that can be read, say, by a microscope:)

You may be astonished how secure that will be.

EugeneAZ··on To Protect Voting, Use Open-Source Software
Do you know how people take photos of themselves voting at "secret-keeping" poll-stations? How about politicians, which publicly give lucrative promises to their particular electorate?

If they want to sell their vote - it is their choice. I'd only say that the right of citizens to secede from such a society must be respected too.

EugeneAZ··on To Protect Voting, Use Open-Source Software
Public - i.e. everyone knows how others have voted - voting can be both precise and secure. Public voting can be done electronically, say, via encrypted SMS.

So why to bother with secrecy in the first place?

EugeneAZ··on Percentage of Europeans Who Are Willing to Fight a War for Their Country
Here, https://www.reddit.com/user/EugeneZavidovsky - is the discusion about SMS direct democracy on another my reddit account. People are afraid even of public voting : ) Well, it's possible to make it secret with clever enough citizens, but I don't think, it is reasonable...
EugeneAZ··on Percentage of Europeans Who Are Willing to Fight a War for Their Country
Man. They are all corrupted or just too ignorant. J.R.Nyquist can tell you even more : )

Have you ever heard of thista?

For any engineering problem one can make a "brute-force" algorithm, which theoretically finds its solution, describe that algorithm as a logical scheme (a directed graph with logic gates as nodes) and then one can use an AI agent to make that logical scheme easier to compute, by simplifying (through transformation rules like the De Morgan rule) unnecessary computation steps, input variables, etc. The solution to the problem can be found by calculation of that simplified version of the logical scheme.

The AI agent may be built from Neural Nets, or from the algorithm, which I call Evolution of Neural Graphs [0].

Some of interesting engineering problems are:

- to find a machine code for a controller of a bipedal robot [1], which makes it able to work in warehouses and factories;

- to find a machine code for a multiprocessor system [2], which behaves as an AI agent purposed for a given work to be done;

- to find a CAD file [3], which describes the design of a spheromak working with MHD generators;

- to find a file [4], which describes the manufacturing steps to produce the first molecular nanofactory in the world;

- etc…

Officials of what country would take it seriously, can you guess?

> Typical NATO free rider.

That would be funny, you know, if that were not that sad : ) Don't want to blame, but just a reminder - do you know on what terms Ukraine gave up its nuclear weapons?

EugeneAZ··on Percentage of Europeans Who Are Willing to Fight a War for Their Country
Professional military (by definition) force politicians to spend money on them.

So, every conflict becomes measurable in terms of money. Thus, citizens become aware of the true cost of it. When you have conscription, you cannot measure how much each of the soldiers loses in terms of money - they don't ask them such a question deliberately.

Also, when all citizens (women and "disabled") are forced to pay for the military equally, they will tend less to be provoked into a war - it may cost too much for them. Get it?

By the way, I would support new British Empire, if its authorities would be decent people (as it usually happened). I'm from Ukraine : )

SMS Direct Democracy with the right of citizens to secede. And professional military, of course, like in the USA. You make war much rarer thereby.

Yes, it can be. Approve in your country a Torrens title system with a replicated database among citizens. Then anyone can buy your country land ownership, which price is much more stable.
