This isn't deeply suprising, once you know that TrackMania can require the user to go through a set of checkpoints in any order. This gives us a kind of "memory" (which set of checkpoints we have already completed), which makes NP-completeness proofs much simpler. It's still very cute, but would apply to most racing games with that property (and the ability to force people through paths which they cannot return through).
super interesting!
I'm thinking out loud: could be possible that there is niche waiting to be untaped with new tech–tools for lawyers (and others professions)?

Edit:
I mean, no high–tech, but tools with a higher level of complexity where the UI isn't a dumbed down version, and where the software exposes some functionality to a better skilled user.
I'm thinking the "millennial" professional, should be more comfortable with software and pushing the limit a little bit.
Doesn't seem to matter whether the author already knew that she had a knack for talking to strangers without appearing crazy, or held with the "general assumption" and was genuinely surprised when the experiment turned out well. The important thing is that it worked!

Now, perhaps it will not work so well for every person. Perhaps in the general case people will instead recoil in horror at being approached nicely for small interesting favours. Perhaps a more universal lesson to take away from this is that success is more likely if you play to your strengths, and push every advantage at your disposal. The author is a Cambridge Law graduate, so one might safely presume reasonably skilled at speaking - I'm not exactly sure how surprised she was that she could engage strangers in professional conversation at a coffee shop - but the experiment is available for others to replicate! I'm not sure what parameters would have to be changed for the interaction to take on a "dramatically different character" though, maybe don't get drunk beforehand.

This is the real reason I suspect. I worked in restaurants for 8 years as a cook. One place I worked had an admittedly attractive 19 year old waitress on staff. Lines formed in front of her to give her a tip. All these 40+ year old drunks (it was a dive bar) lined up to speak with her for a few moments than hand her a few dollars. She didn't even provide them with anything, they just seemed to revel in the idea that they get to hand this woman a few dollars. Very odd.
You can probably use 90% of React's functionality with like, four or five functions and four or five component lifestyle methods. What's not minimal about that?
No, no, not gonna happen. Physical keyboards are essential to all but the most basic computing tasks. The mechanical response of the keys is an ergonomic benefit that cannot be underestimated. There's a reason why hackers wax finicky about the brand and construction of their keyboard's keyswitches.

Applying Continuous Improvement to Personal Development
I think the next "big thing" is going to be that the internet as we know it comes under much more strict control and people just don't care because they spend all their time in smartphone apps and only browse a few big websites.

It will become much harder for the average person to put a server on the web because they'll have to pay higher fees and go through more and more bureaucracy. Kind of like what happened to radio.

A few big companies will own 90% of high traffic sites and the only way to get access to "unapproved" software will be to root your device, which will put you on a terrorist watch list.

We'll assimilate under a few main services:

- a social net (facebook/twitter)

- a search engine (google)

- entertainment (netflix/walled garden apps)

Everything will feed directly into the NSA. There will be a slight illusion of choice.
In fact Rome is not the right place to understand what is pizza. You should go Naples. Keep in mind that Italy is made of a lot, really a lot of cultures. It is not the same to stay in Naples than in Rome. Naples was a Greek colony, Rome was an Etruscan colony.
If you are in Rome you can understand what is carbonara, matriciana, abbacchio, etc. If you ask for a pizza you are astray.

I suspect another way of looking at it is that these models actually learn about the real world by reading about it in the WSJ -- of course their knowledge of it is not as deep as our own, but good enough for what they do.

The author is somewhat confusing aging and dying. Aging is a mechanism. It is there for (probably) many reasons. One of them is to protect against cancer, and therefore from dying. You either age or you get cancer.
To elaborate it further, lets take a situation here, lets say,for a newbie who has spent considerable amount of time on reading a few books and searching through reddits, and watching about 50 videos related to the topic on youtube, what would be the best course of action, because most of the time the material on the internet on most blogs and article is the same, but just written in a different way.

So are there any websites, blogs, reddit groups or other forums which an experienced miner would suggest to a newbie ???

TL;DR: Work hard, save money, don't be an asshole.

Work hard, be good at what you do, and save every dime you can. Make sure you've got enough cash to maintain your life for 6 months. This can take time, it took me 3 years in my first tech job to reach this point, and didn't have much resembling a life during this time. It kinda sucked, but the investment paid off multiple times over.

Then interview aggressively. Interview for jobs you don't actually want, it makes good practice, and they're easy to reject. When you're researching the companies you interview for, look into why you'd want to work for them, not just into random trivia to demonstrate an interest in the firm (do this too of course). Remember that the interview is a two way street. You're interviewing them to make sure it's a good fit. Ask to look around the office, to chat to some of the people you'd be working with. Look at the nearest toilets to where you'll be working.

Do not be afraid to turn down jobs. You're not burning bridges. You can turn a job down and still join them later if you change your mind (if they're still hiring). If you've taken a job and decided it's not a good fit, do your best to impress as much as you can, as quickly as you can. Demonstrate your worth. They'll be disappointed when you leave, but you've left the door open for future opportunities with all of them. Having options is the closest you can get to free employment insurance. This builds your professional network, which leads to more and more opportunities in future.

Your salary is a function of your ability to negotiate. Interview for jobs you don't want to get offers. Salary negotiations are like prom dates. The more people that want to go to prom with you, the more people that'll want to go to prom with you. Desirability breeds desire. Having offers means you can negotiate higher, and get more of what you want. Their starting offer is their floor. They will only go up.

Go back to the beginning. Save every nickel and dime you make. You should increase your liquid cash to minimum 12 months living expenses (at the rate of expense of the life you want to lead, not at the rate of saving every nickel and dime). You should have additional savings, investments, property potentially if that's the right route for you.

Work hard, be good at what you do. If you are, and the people you're working with are too, mutual respect builds, and from that, friendship. If you're like me, 10 years in, you're no longer interviewing for jobs, you're chatting to friends about prospective opportunities where they're working. They've done similar to you, and they're only working in places with people they respect, so the effort involved on both sides of the hiring process goes down.

Invest in yourself, balance your life with your work (life-work balance, the ordering of that phrase is important), value your time. Don't work for anyone who doesn't. That doesn't mean you don't do crunches, just that they're exceptional rather than ordinary.

>I don't really care if its open source or not if it does what I want it to do

You care about the utility of your editor, and that's fine. Several other comments here try to highlight ways in which open source projects are more pragmatic, like the ability to make modifications yourself or take advantage of community contributions.

All of that is just arguing about utility, though. For many people open source is a moral issue. RMS is a notable example here. And I prefer open source tools for this reason.

If you believe open source software is morally superior to closed source software then the utility considerations are of secondary, or perhaps even zero, importance.
I don't really understand the other guys' argument, but I don't necessarily agree with you either.

In my opinion, bitcoin will be overtaken by another coin, most likely ethereum. This is because while bitcoin has many issues, the underlying tech (blockchain) is sound.

The reason ethereum will succeed is because it is not just a currency. It's not even mostly a currency. It is a decentralized network that gives users the ability to engage in trustless programmatic contracts.

Decentralized, meaning that no one person has the ability to tamper with important documents or files.

Programmatic in that contracts are actual programs that get run at a predetermined time.

And trustless in that some third party mediator isn't required to enforce terms. This point is the most important because it means that organizational structures that simply would not be feasible otherwise are possible.

Organizations as we know them today are necessarily built like pyramids (governments, large corporations) or they are kept very small for mobility (startups). With trustless organizations, this won't (always) be true anymore.

And with the momentum of these features, I could see Ether (Ethereum's currency) dethroning Bitcoin. It's already got a fifth of the market cap that BTC has.

> Wearing heels is not something receptionists need to do to perform their job

Wearing a suit and tie wasn't necessary to perform my job as a programmer and was actively uncomfortable in the Summer when the women could wear sandals and low-cut tops.

We challenged the dress code on several occasions with HR and their eventual solution was... Dress-down Fridays.

Eventually one of the officers from the US HQ asked why all the guys were wearing ties when he didn't. That forced a change but there was no UK legal obligation for a harmonised unisex dress-code.
A blogpost should follow similar to this:

"Hey, I am Matt, I just wasted 19 M Dollars to buy a TLD. I know, this is plain disgusting and it feels like a kick in the face of humanity, so I decided to spend another 190 M Dollars to pay the medical costs for children with heavy health problems to parents who can not afford the health care.

Another 190 M I will spend to send medical equipment to Syria and help to rebuild the hospitals that have been destroyed by US bombs.

If you have more ideas on how to spend my money usefully, please fill out that form..."

Of course he will write much better english than me.

Evolution of CPU efficiency over time

They are much the same thing in many discussions of aging. The generally agreed upon definition of aging in the geroscience community is that it is an increase in risk of death due to intrinsic causes. You are more aged if you have a higher risk of death, and you are aging if your risk of death due to intrinsic causes is higher today than it was yesterday.

Then we can get into primary aging (think of the SENS list of damage, internal mechanisms like mitochondrial damage and cross-link deposition) versus secondary aging (think of smoking and getting fat, things that increase the pace of damage accumulation), and further complexities after that. But the core definition of aging is very simple, and it is all about dying.
So yet another "end to end encrypted" email "solution", where both ends are controlled by a single vendor.

There are already two, count them, TWO, existing, open, well-understood ways to both sign and encrypt email between two parties: PGP, and S/MIME.

Currently, the UX around setting up and using each of these tools is.. less than stellar.

Now. Just go with me here. What if all the people who keep claiming to have "solved the encryption problem" by locking everyone into their own little silo, instead of doing that, WORKED ON SOLVING THE USABILITY PROBLEMS?

Coincidentally, I had a parent/teacher conference with my 1st grader's teacher yesterday afternoon. Regarding reading level & comprehension, she remarked that current research indicates anything below about 98% comprehension isn't sufficient for reading "fluency". Before the past few years, the standard was 95% comprehension = fluency, but that extra few percentage points apparently make an enormous difference (probably because of colloquial & jargon edge case usages that carry specific meanings in specific contexts, but which aren't easy to programmatically detect, but that's just my supposition).
