> We state the following well-known concentration bound, Chernoff bound, for completeness.

Which variant of the Chernoff bound is this? This is almost the (looser variant of the) multiplicative form, but it's not quite right (per the use of 1+delta instead of a single parameter beta). In particular, that bound is only guaranteed to hold for delta >= 0 (not beta = 1 + delta > 0 as asserted in the paper)

That's our primary use case, so I am also curious to hear more.

A bit more than that. And old freight trains are loud, even when empty.

Another example, there is a small local passenger train with a combustion engine. Very loud, whether slow or fast. Unlike the mentioned modern electric one from Alstom, who are so silent, that they are dangerous when they pass by a train station and you are too close to the track. You only notice them moments before they wooosh by.

And if you want more than my anecdota of everyday experience, there are tons of youtube videos of different trains to see that trains can be loud, if that was not a manufacturing concern, or silent. Usually, the older the louder.

There is just no real analysis here of law, policy, or society. It's just a pile of uncited errata. I'm somewhat sympathetic to some of his conclusions, but there is no reasoning process here.

I have spent a lot of my life in deep wildernes, and the only time I saw a big cat in the wild was when I was a kid (aprox 14yo), up in mid- British Columbia (Canada), literally a hundred miles from any town.

I was alone, waiting at our truck while the family was checking if a side-road was traversable. (My dad was a big wilderness fisher). maybe half a kilometer down the "main" (dirt) road, I saw a huge cat casually walk across the road, into the forest on the other side.

It looked completely black, but likely because the side facing me was in shade. Cougars are the only big cat native to the area.

Of course my dad dismissed my account as daydreaming.

I have seen bear, bobcat, and even Coyotee in the wild. Not wolf though.

I feel cars have been stuck in boring mode for 2 decades, but now with zany stuff like power outlets and such, they are getting more interesting.

So instead of this:

  func foo(x: int, y: int): int   {
      var sum: int = x + y
      return sum
  }

  func foo(x :int, y :int) :int   {
      var sum :int = x + y
      return sum
  }

"Only four properties really affect the performance of most digital transmission structures. The "big four" transmission-line properties are impedance, delay, high-frequency loss, and crosstalk." Dr Johnson then goes to describe these properties in barbed wire.

P.S. Yes, this is the Dr. Howard Johnson of the famed "High-Speed Digital Design" book.

It wasn't for the benefit of consumers, it was to create a segment they felt they could dominate.
