I agree, Digital. I think Sam's comment, "We shouldn’t start purging people for supporting the wrong political candidate. That’s not how things are done in this country" hits the issue spot on. If anything, maybe Mr. Thiel and Mr. Altman ought to have a serious conversation on the issue, but Thiel has undoubtedly contributed significantly to ycom.
In my opinion, it's not so much about the "content" as much as it is about the number of interacting systems that cause unexpected and emergent gameplay situations.

One of my first Dwarf Fortress runs had me embarking to a cold area in the middle of winter. The lake had frozen over and that's where my caravan landed. As I was still learning the basics of the game, I forgot to make beds for my dwarves. They fell asleep on the iced-over lake, and while they were sleeping, spring came, the lake thawed, and seven very surprised dwarves suddenly found themselves struggling to swim. I think one or two died and I laughed my ass off and started over.

In No Man's Sky, this one time, I went to a planet and saw some cool stuff and mined some minerals and made some stuff... oh wait, that was every planet, every time. Once I found a neat spaceship! Then a few miles later I found another one. Then I realized that the distribution of procedurally-generated content meant that there was a random, abandoned spaceship every few dozen miles. On every planet. That's around the time when I stopped playing No Man's Sky.

Obviously the two games are extremely dissimilar in many ways, but this just goes to show how "shallow" the procedural elements of NMS end up being. Yes, the technical details of the underlying systems are super cool to explore from a programming standpoint... but design-wise, the procedural systems don't really lend themselves to interesting or emergent gameplay. There's like three different AI routines for fauna, or something, the different planetary hazards all amount to different bars with different flavor text that affect gameplay in the exact same ways, etc. etc.

The bottom line is, if your procedurally-generated world has enough interacting systems that leads to interesting and emergent gameplay, you'll have your players recounting stories of interesting, unique things that happened to them for years to come. If your procedural generation systems just generate different visuals for the exact same gameplay, it will get very old, very fast.

Not every game with procedural generation has to be Dwarf Fortress, of course... but if you're going to hang your game's proverbial hat more or less entirely on its procedural generation systems and sell it for sixty bucks a copy, you should probably make sure that all that work you put into your procedural generation code is going to do more to your game than generate different skins of paint on top of the same mundane gameplay.
I'm also surprises uber doesn't take destination into account when requesting drivers.

AFAICT it just asks based on distance so a driver that will be heading the wrong way to pick me up on a one way street takes the request and then I'm stuck waiting 5-10 mins as he passes me on the wrong side of the street, then calling me, then having to go several blocks to get back

If you look beneath /var/lib/dpkg/info/ you'll find a set of checksums for binaries in, for example, `zip.md5sums`.

It wouldn't take much effort to extract all the packages from a release-archive and make that searchable.

I once processed the Debian archive in such a manner, but the problem is security updates will release every now and again and cause you to need to update things. Not a problem to store a set of hashes for binaries, with a floating "most recent" value.

But given that the information is already available to you I'd suspect not many people would pay for the service, or use it.

And I'm sure "children" refers to all those under 18, even though age of consent can be as low as 16 in some states.

Certainly, people forced into prostitution is wrong, but I'd doubt the numbers of actual "children" (of the ages of the schoolchildren pictured on their webpage) who are abducted and forced into sex-slavery in the United States are even a fraction of what they claim. The logistics of running such a business in any organized manner and keeping it a secret would be difficult.
Wikileaks is NOT helping Trump. They're merely releasing information that would make impact in the election. Assange doesn't even support Trump. He supports Jill Stein.

They'd be more than happy to release any information on Trump. Unfortunately, they don't hack the information themselves. Someone else has to send it to them.

Here is what Assange had to say about Trump: "I mean, it’s from a point of view of an investigative journalist organization like WikiLeaks, the problem with the Trump campaign is it’s actually hard for us to publish much more controversial material than what comes out of Donald Trump’s mouth every second day".

Can I just point out as per source 1, that as a public employee, she doesn't just get to decide to destroy records? Further, she claims she wanted them deleted then, but never clarifies if they were deleted at the time of request or when the subpoena arrived.

Further, she didn't just delete emails, she went and wiped the hard drive. Perhaps just good data practice, but, when it comes to politics and public servants I'm far too cynical to believe that. Finally, she determined what was considered private and deleted it. Do you really trust that? Do you really think that things that were work related wouldn't get swept up with the personal stuff while they were going about deleting things?

Either way, I've heard rumors they've been recovered, so disagreements there could be resolved in due time. If not, we can argue then :)
It would be nice to have the translation done by a human speaker. Although Google's machine translation is pretty great nowadays, I doubt it does a great job with constrained languages containing nonstandard and constructed vocabulary!

I tried using Google Translate to translate this to Portuguese (which I do speak) and I found some mistakes in the translation that might not have come up in normal English.

It's an interesting question to what extent you'd want the translator to understand what Anderson is trying to do and translate accordingly.

>If you're going to tell me that all these apps are the communication method of choice...

I can't remember the last time I used my phone to actually make a call. In fact, in 2012 making a call was only the fifth most-used feature of the average smartphone, following after internet, social media, music, and games. I'm guessing that in 2016, with the plethora of messaging apps and the huge push by Facebook and others to drive adoption of those apps, making calls is even less of a priority for people.

It's actually cheaper than data transfer across AZs. Within a region, AWS charges 1 cent per GB in each direction. You pay a cent to send data from one instance and another cent to receive data on another instance. But between Virginia and Ohio, they charge 1 cent to send data (in either direction) but receiving data is free. In the end, it's actually cheaper to balance your servers across one AZ in Virginia and one AZ in Ohio, rather than 2 AZs in the same region.

But it's only a penny, right? How much could it matter? It actually matters a lot. At both my previous and current employers, a surprisingly large portion of our hill comes from data transfer across AZs. All the microservices, all the memcache hits, and all the database replication add up quickly.
Since you wouldn't use it frequently, maybe it would make sense to have a less obtrusive control in place of the steering wheel. Maybe a joystick by the armrest, or something.
Yeah, I completely agree! that there is a way for a "leak broker" trying to serve the same role as WL to responsibly publish leaked email dumps from Russian hackers, even if those hackers are only sourcing from the Democrats and not the Republicans. It is not my argument that third parties can't publish unfavorable things about Clinton without implicitly supporting Trump!

The problem is that what Wikileaks is doing is much worse than that.
If Randall Munroe wants to write a book of Thinglore in this style, I'll be happy to buy it!
Except the FBI cyber crime division, independent of the Clintons or the DNC, is the one accusing the Russians of making the hack. The FBI, whose sole purpose is to protect the U.S. against terrorist and foreign intelligence threats.

I can't tell if this is satire. Trump's campaign manager was responsible for installing 2 Pro-Putin dictators [1]. Also considering that Assange works for RT [2] (Russia's international Propos machine [3] which is all pro-Trump ATM), I think it's more likely that the FBI isn't fabricating facts here when they say the hack was related to Russia.

I went through K-12 in a different East European country, and it was mostly all drills and rote memorization. Our history teacher would read his notes, which would have a paragraph on any given subtopic (battle/kingdom/person). About 4 times a semester he would do oral exams, which took about 2 periods to go through 30 kids, so about 3 minutes per person. His question was one or two words which was the title of the topic, and we were expected to recite the paragraph from his notes word for word. Each word wrong one grade point down. We might as well have been reciting digits of pi.

Overall the most useful studying technique I took away from this is math drills, which came in handy even in a run of the mill American university; the trick is to just do the same kind of problem over and over again until you internalize the intuition; it's kind of the wax-on-wax-off learning something you don't realize you're learning until a while after all the work is put in.

I've no idea what to do for my kid when time comes. I don't want her to drill stupid, but I would like her to learn to work hard.
If you have some exposure to game theory you will learn that consistently collaborating will not be the best approach in every situation. If people learn that you consistently collaborate they will intuitively start abusing that (e.g: force you to play "chicken", "the volunteer's dilemma" or any model game in which the collaborator loses). That's to start with.

Now, competing doesn't mean losing control of yourself and explode and become vulgar. It also does not mean having bad intentions and being evil. Whatever you decide to do, compose yourself and don't let your emotions take over. And try to keep your motivations well-intentioned.

If you are going through a bad moment... a good tool for introspections and analyzing your situation is the SWOT chart (4 quadrants: strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, threats). You can express your current situation in terms of these 4 things, to better understand and identify ways to use your strengths and opportunities, work on your weaknesses and mitigate threats.

Another important concept is balance. Try to find the imbalances in your life. What are excesses, what are the things you are lacking... and find ways to balance things out. Your anger might come out of frustration generated from these imbalances.

If people give you a hard time, read a book called: "The No Asshole Rule". Now, those are not the only types of draining people. Just try to not let people drain you emotionally, at least not for a good reason. If after an interaction with someone you consistently feel drained, it's time to avoid that person for your own good.
It would be shocking to me if the profile of students applying to Ivy League schools didn't skew substantially high on median family income, highest degree attained by parents, and SAT scores.

Successful parents breed (read: raise) successful children. Surely not in every case, but in aggregate. As a successful graduate of a small tech school in Cambridge, I was aided by my parents' educational bent, bias, and investments of time and money. They were aided by their parents, just as my wife and I will aid our children.
We humans are really bad at controlling our emotions. This post won't help with that.

The crux of the article seems to be:

> Soylent was developed ... to compress all the nutrition the human body needs to live into one single, easily digestible formula. But that is fundamentally the opposite of the way we increasingly want to eat in America and in much of the developed world.

Not that I agree or disagree with the author, but who is "we" in this sentence? It seems like that's a veil for the authors opinion. Given the popularity of these food items, doesn't that indicate that the consumers of the developed world have at least some serious desire for these food 2.0 products?

In this thread and others I've seen this:

Shouldn't individuals have a right to have terrible opinions?

Of course they do. But a surprising number of “free speech” and “free market” people don’t seem to understand how either works.

Individuals have a right to support white nationalists.

Individuals also have a right not to do business with those who support white nationalists.

Individuals also have the right to organize protests against those who support white nationalists.

Let's be clear: defending the right to support a white nationalist while denouncing the right to protest against one isn’t courage, it’s sophistry.

By Altman's own argument, there's a line Thiel could cross that would make YC sever ties with him. All it would take is for Thiel to repeat some of the things Trump said.

If the author's argument is true, then Soylent will not succeed in the market. Inasmuch as it has, the author's argument is false.

It must be hard for the cultural elite to realize that their opinions on what people want and where culture is heading are empirically testable and often false when tested.
David Duke probably thinks "the system" is rigged against him too... and if you include private institutions in your definition of 'the system' it is and should be. If you hold reprehensible views (though technically legal), then society punishes you. As it has every right to. Trump will complain no matter what, that has zero weight. When someone who cries wolf like Trump isn't complaining, then something is terribly wrong.

> Shouldn't individuals have a right to have terrible opinions?

Yes. And society at large has every right to punish and socially ostracize these who hold abhorrent views.

I feel like technically minded people get mixed up between "we withhold from the government - the institution in our lives with absolute power - the right to silence citizens" and "we expect the private companies/organizations we support to use their influence to better society, not ruin it."
I seem to be saying it even more, but once again I must state that perfect is the enemy of good.

Often people strive for perfection in their grades, to the detriment of their finances, friendships, and personal development.

It happened to several people I know, they'd lock themselves away and study for hours instead of being social and forging relationships (which in the real world outside university are a lot more important than grades).

At the end of the day, everyone gets the same Degree (unless you're doing honours, where there are grades). It doesn't really matter what your grades were if you can network yourself into a job instead.
