This is fascinating. I'm pretty sure the wikipedia page implicitly assumes that pirates are superrational (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superrationality).

A group of superrational players may choose an outcome which is not even a NE! For example, two superrational players playing the prisoner's dilemma game will choose to cooperate.

Conversely, Nash equilibria are no longer "stable" in the original sense that there is no incentive for any player to unilaterally deviate. The concept of "unilaterally deviating" doesn't even make sense, because a group of superrational players will all choose the same strategy. The superrationality allows them to cooperatively deviate.

To demonstrate, I consider the smallest case for which your equilibrium strategy differs from the wiki pages' strategy, that is n=3. Suppose there are 3 pirates, A, B and C. Suppose the first pirate proposes that he gets all the coins. Then the state where everyone votes yes is a Nash equilibrium because no one has an incentive to unilaterally. However I claim that a group of supperrational players will vote to kill A.

Here is the proof of my claim (caveat: I don't think this is actually a valid analysis - see next paragraph. however it's the same level of rigor as the wiki page and demonstrates how B and C can cooperate to kill A, "escaping" the NE of both voting Y). C will vote No because accepting the proposal is the worst possible outcome for him (he gets 0 gold and no one dies; note that it is not possible for C to die), so strategies where he votes No in this round dominate strategies where he votes Yes in this round. B knows that C is thinking this. Hence he will vote No.

Explanation of caveat: actually, the nonstrict dominance proof in the above paragraph suggests that C does not know how B will vote and the dominance is nonstrict because of this unknown. However, since B and C are superrational, there is no such thing as not knowing how someone would vote; C knows that B will vote No, so the dominance is strict. However this argument seems circular (even though, because of superrationality, I think it really isn't).

Unrelated point: If we ammend the rules of the pirate game to include another tiebreaker with lowest priority: that all pirates prefer to vote "no", then your situation is no longer even a Nash equilibrium (much less a subgame-perfect NE). Then how many NEs are there in the ammended game?

> 1. Issue iPhone with finger scanner for MFA for all important access. This works so easy that it would be hard for someone to screw it up.

Yes. Lets use a closed platform controlled by a single private entity to ensure the safety of all sensitive government data.

Or how about not. Open-source must be a requirement, and then (sadly) Android is the only option.

That said, it does support full disk encryption and use of finger-scanners too, so it's not like you would lose security capabilities.

Did you disable just wake-from-sleep or standby mode using pmset utility? In my case only after I disabled standby completely both MacBook Air 2014 and MacBook Retina 2015 stopped waking up under the last 3 versions of OSX. I suspect the bug depends on the software one uses that is why only some users are affected.
We have some programming languages in which the programmer specifies a desired outcome, and the system figures out how to do it:

Prolog and Haskell are two examples.

>Games and word processing seem like they would be the best application. But there were specialized consoles and word processing machines at the time that were cheaper and better for those tasks.

No, there weren't. Compared to Amiga and Atari, there were no competitive home game consoles around (until around 1989 or so at least).

And of course "word processing machines" were not better in any way. Professional writers (writers, journalists, people writing scientific papers, scriptwriters, etc) were buying PCs for word processing, not any dedicated "word processing machines" (which were just electric typewriters with an LCD and some crude software).

That sounds authoritative.
The CDDL is an anti forking license.
It requires spooning.
In the 1990s, when Smith and Wesson made a deal with the Clinton Administration, gun buyers and sellers did something similar.

We stopped buying Smith and Wesson firearms and their profits dropped like a stone. They thought that the increased business from the Federal government would make up for lost civilian sales but those Federal sales weren't what they were expecting and the civilian boycott was bigger than they expected.

It got so bad for the company that the owners had to sell it to get out from under the deal.

I say this as a Ford guy but this article only tells part of the story. Bill Ford passed on licensing any of Tesla's technology and refused to establish an early relationship with the company. Bill Ford passed on owning shares in Tesla, even when he knew that both Mercedes and Toyota were investing.

Ford may be leading efforts in Detroit on autonomous cars and he was certainly prescient in opening a Silicon Valley lab. While Ford is leading the Big 3, they're still playing a game of catch up.

Pretty good but not sure if you need a 4k cert (5651 bytes). That's quite a bit of overhead as well as there shouldn't be a need to send the root cert. Save yourself some traffic. Also, you could probably pare down the cipher list somewhat. The combo of DHE + 4k RSA is probably going to chew up a bunch of CPU unnecessarily.

But pretty nice so far.
TL; DR

$ person transported/km for highways >> subway

For all the cons you quoted.

Living in montréal, biking all year.

The problem is much more the diffusion of the flux (aggravated by graph partition and an asymmetry of rules making turning left strongly discouraged). They don't seem to have any engineers studying hydrodynamics, percolation, diffusion or geometry or physics in their offices. They reason in terms of big arteries and making car go consistently fast there (50) and construction costs and rely on magic for congestion and diffusion.

Riding a bike feels like you are gonna die every morning. Especially in winter.

They weirdly enough make expensive dangerous bike paths to solve the problem that are more likely to cause accidents than none. And they evaluate that a fall from a bike make cyclists safe with a 50 cm security distance (I am quite taller and when I fall, it is much more 1m20 margin).

Let's say that even if some jerks found it funny to scare cyclists and sometimes bump them, on the 99.99% distribution they are nice people but a tad forgetting to watch there mirrors when opening their 50 cm doors in my 80 cm "safe" space on the streets.

Had some bruises, fears, strong words and went to the hospital get my wife after some accidents.

Still alive, though. Still alive. Pretty proud of us and faster/cheaper than most transportations (car and subways included).

People do not need to be green on the issues they choose to vote on. Having prior knowledge and expertise is what makes an expert an expert.

Liquid democracy, from every indication, appears to be vastly superior at fairly selecting experts to vote on issues than the silliness we're using right now. Since experts can have legitimate philosophical disagreements it's only part of the solution. A mechanism for the establishment of city-states to create a market of legal systems is one of the other important pieces.
I'd say both you and the parent have misunderstood that. Of course defining yourself by what you're not is essential to the notion of identity.

But that's a general platitude too, when "the thing you're not" is something like "bad at math".

What TFA meant was that the Vietnamese define their themselves more from having resisted those enemies and fought those struggles, so, in another way to put it, as a fighting, determined and stubborn nation -- as opposed to other, non conflict oriented national characteristics (e.g. americans are self defined as "individualists", italians as passionate, german as hard working and logical etc, which are not things that stem from conflict as is the case with the Vietnamese).
I can't stand people who say Buddhism is not a religion. In many, many, MANY ways Christianity is as much a philosophy as Buddhism is. People also don't realize that Buddhism in the West is specifically catered to Westerners who are sick of the dogma of the Abrahamic religions. Ironically, Buddhism is filled with the same dogma, but it's hidden in the West until you buy into it. I can't imagine it's entirely different from how Christian missionaries approach developing countries.

Not saying that Buddhism is "bad" - not at all. But it is in no way as secular, or as peaceful, as Westerners think it is. It has a long and torrid history of violence, as well as dogma.

I just wish people recognized Buddhism for what it is - a religion.

With respect to San Jose, it's a crock. The only remotely "urban" area is downtown, and that is fully served with highways (880, 280/680, 87). Light rail is a joke, with routes having been chosen for political reasons rather than true demand, and it is useless for transporting goods.

This article, like many on the topic, also take a one-dimensional view of highways -- as people movers. The flow of goods and services (especially emergency services) is at least as important. Throughout the Bay Area, highways are critical infrastructure just to move goods and supplies, if nothing else. 880/17 in Oakland became a chokepoint after the 1989 earthquake took down the Cypress structure, for example, and that would have been even worse had 980 not been completed not long before.
This one looks fake though.

Wholeheartedly agree! Google Cloud is so severely underrated as a platform for scalable web-apps. If you use the cloud data store and web-app common sense, there is no re-architecting required for users in the range of 100->million+. And _much_ cheaper and lesser operational overhead compared to EC2/AWS. The disadvatange is that you have to use the Google stack and API's, but for new apps this is worth it.
It's not the "capitalists" that have to compete with cheap labour, it's the labourers. Big brands can move their production where cheap labour is, keep their prices up, and pocket higher profits. This won't work forever, but it works for now.

Regarding the BTX-Hack I have to mention this panel 30 years after: https://media.ccc.de/v/30JahreBTXHack#video&t=2322 Unfortunately in german.

After seeing this it is quite clear to me, that this was not so much a computer hack but more of a media hack where the CCC made use of the german media very well. Don't get me wrong I appreciate what the CCC has done the last 33 years, but hearing about this first hand from people that were there was a bit of a dent in my glorified picture of the events.
Of course the include operation on a set is a trivial operation but that's been the first example for junction I found when googling.

It's not a problem with an open mind but rather with understanding what data type a junction is trying to be.

If I go to the official specification (my fault, should have gone there from the beginning), I read the definition "A junction is a superposition of data values pretending to be a single data value". But that's a fuzzy definition and it is absolutely not clear what that's supposed to mean. The given examples don't help either.

Especially when I look at this discussion and see that several people including you are not sure what "all(@ar1) < any(@ar2)" is supposed to mean. That's not a complicated expression and that's already puzzling to people who know the language?

The autothreading feature is cool but also nothing too special. Every pure functional language can implement map/reduce/filter in parallel.

tl;dr I don't see what junctions bring to the table that's not expressed easier to understand with set operations or map/reduce/filter.

> spent well over $100m on the search

It sounds huge, but to put a different perspective on this, look at the cost of what was lost:

- The Boeing 777-200ER aircraft is worth US$261.5 million[1].

- The average payout for each of the 9/11 victims, including passengers and crew on the planes, was US$1.8 million[2]. We know that MH370 had 239 passengers and crew, so at the same "cost" that would be 239 x 1.8 = US$430.2 million.

So the total value of the MH370 loss is at least US$691.7 million.

Looked at this way, the $100 million spent on the search so far doesn't seem that much to bring closure to the families and to solve the mystery for legal, technical, and future flight safety reasons.

Suppose you lost something very valuable and sentimental, even if you knew it was destroyed, is it unreasonable to spend 15% of its value ($100M/$691.7M = 15%) to find out what happened to it? (Personally, I do think it's worth spending more to keep the search going.)

My brother is a dentist. At four he leaves his office and goes home.

I have worked with software development for quite some time. The nasty thing is that lately it has become so easy to connect to work, fire up the dev-environment from home on evenings and weekends to continue tinker with that piece of code or that nasty bug.

Imagine having a job where your problem is not constrained to a person that has to be in your vicinity for you to work or a job where you cannot at least fake that you have problems with your internet connection :)

You cannot easily unscrew your head at the end of the day and it is only too natural to continue to linger in your head in problem-solving mode. Imagine doing this for the greater part of your life and you may end up with exactly the problems described here.

> So for those who are practical programmers and have gone down the Knuth TAOCP rabbit hole

There's the rub. TAOCP is Computer Science. "Practical programmers" aren't even engineers. So yes. The books for your intended purpose aren't worth anything.

It will have worth when you are writing something 'serious' like compilers, kernels, or complicated games. CRUD apps, nah.
Not speaking for the previous poster, but it is worth noting that talking about "Tiananmen Square massacre" may be misleading, because AFAIK the majority of fatalities, both of protesters and soldiers, happened outside the square, in the streets.
MIT is flawed b/c it does nothing for licensing of patents that might cover sections of that code base.

Since the logo is not explained (properly). It is a pun on the the "Kabelfernsehen" (cable tv) logo of the time.

As I remember it the cables were running down straight on the right side. Instead of having the knot.
Haven't put too much thought in it, too be honest, as it's mostly a pie-in-the-sky dream at the moment.

But I'd probably sit down(with some other, more knowledgable folks) and consider things like vit D3, omega 3, magnesium and zinc supplementation, microbiome stimulation, possible ketosis for those who react positively to it,and a general elimination of unnecessary sugars.

Hydration, maybe surprisingly, would be a major component as well. Another one would be breathing exercises, stretches and light exercise(to encourage serotonin and hormonal stimulation), all of which can be combined with meditative practices ala yoga or taijiquan.

On the extreme side, for those who are especially adventurous, I'd even consider sessions with nootropics, and possible micro-dosing with psilocybin or DMT - where legally permitted. This would absolutely be done with the involvement of medical professionals, I should add.
As far as I can tell, this is what category theory is for. It lets you take some quite basic structure or piece of work, and describe it in rigorous, impressive-sounding terms.

I recognize the effort put into these videos, and admire it. A few videos in, and the approach is pretty good—split flexbox into small chunks for those who learn best that way.

Sadly, the frequent mispronunciation of words quickly becomes distracting. Axis pronounced as "access", axes called "axises", i think I even heard "ek cetera". By the third video, I think I heard these mistakes at least a dozen times. That totally kills being able to listen. Perhaps it's worth redoing the voice over. As it stands, I'd rather read a text guide.
