Could you expand on the (1) player-significant (2) emergent effects in Minecraft and in Elite?

One review damned NMS for lack of player-significant effects, but appreciated the prettiness of some of the results.

There's a property I enjoy, of a kind of global dependence (though mediated locally), instead of isolated randomness. e.g. instead of trees appearing randomly, they are dependent on rain, sunlight, latitude, altitude, soil coarseness and nutrients. And they are dependent on other trees.

This is surely includes under "emergent", but that term seems unnecessarily broad to me.

Rainfall in turn depends on local and wider topography (mountains, evaporation water sources), and wind patterns... which in turn depend on local topography and latitude etc.

Even a river's path is affected by its watershed (and rainfull etc), and all the preceding terrain, especially steepness (higher velocity carries more sediment, which abrasively erodes even faster) and soil finer-grained erodes more than coarser). River change course from time to time due to erosion.

It seems iteration is the only way to capture these dependent effects, but its computationally very expensive. NMS already has very long planet-generation times ("travelling"), so it's probably not feasible for that style of game.

Earth is a computer after all.

That's exactly backward though. The Ivy League schools all have need-blind admissions and meet 100% of demonstrated financial need (for U.S. students)
I learned this lesson by experience. I am partner in a popular marketing site and so I get a lot people who are interested in JV opportunities from all around the world. Now I like getting directly to the point (“Hi Max. Tell me what I can help you with.”) because it saves us time and we both know this is a JV call so if the other person has a list or opportunity that matches ours, it's on.

Unfortunately most JV calls I've had start off like a dick measuring contest. People love to boast how big their business is and how this can be start of a million dollar partnership, yada yada. This becomes especially infuriating when the other person is blatantly lying just to impress you. Earlier I used to get kind of pissed off or started 1-upping them while getting irritated and angry of what I'm doing with my time. Now I just put the phone on speaker and do something else saying "sure" or "great" from time to time. Not only does it save my time, I don't lose my focus after and yes, I close more deals and create longer relationships. So yes, this don't be a child philosophy is really great, esp for geeks (like me) who think that the shortest distance between two points is always the best route.
Thank you all for your comments.
I'M still undecided. It looks like a tie between Dell and Lenovo. Hmmm. Ill wait till Black Friday
"Get angry" is a perfectly valid, and sometimes very useful, negotiating tactic. Note that this is different from actually getting angry - if you're emotionally compromised, as Spock would say, you're less likely to be able play smart - but if you act angry (as you say, 'angry behaviour') at the right point it can greatly amplify your ability to get things done.

I believe the first round auctions (a couple of years ago) started at $50,000 for single-letter domains. As an additional barrier, it may also be that PIR require some kind of public-interest usage commitment.
It's clearly a token effort at disguising their elitist admissions procress. If they let in too many poor people the rich wouldn't send their chilren there. The whole point of these Ivy League schools is to prove membership in the club of the elite.

I went to an Ivy League college, and my parents are by no means rich, or even upper middle class. What happened was the college tried to use any excuse they could possibly find to deny "financial aid". One time I was denied because of a rounding error in my parents' tax returns. Literally a rounding error. The only reason I managed to graduate was because a lawyer I happened to know threatened to sue the school.

If the Ivies want to say, "we're a school for the rich, tuition is $XXXK, put up the cash or don't come here", that is 100% their right as private institutions. But if they promise that aid will be provided to anyone who needs it, and they then revoke that promise on a whim when someone is already partway through their degree, they are lying bastards and need to be called out on it.
I grew up in New Zealand and have visited Australia many times (and still have many friends and family living in Australia). I now live in Minnesota.

Is it really any better there? Australia has it's own history of crime related violence, corrupt police, poor treatment of Aboriginal people, poverty, child abuse, drug crimes, and offshore detention centers. Australia is also another major country that seems to ignore environmental issues. Australia only has 12% of the population that the US has - I suspect that if the population was larger the similarities would be even more apparent.

I love visiting Australia but there are definitely some issues under the surface there.
Because it does not benefit society in any way to grant them a monopoly on Mickey t-shirts. Society as a whole is better off when there is market competition. Monopoly is only granted to encourage the initial creativity. There is also significant public cost in protecting the Mickey monopoly, such as courts and police.

Shame on Y Combinator
The ratio of repeated stories about Trump's lewd remarks to stories about the content of the emails is still quite skewed.

The NYT has not run any stories about the content of the emails on its front page in the last ten days. The stories people have linked are buried deep behind the paywall.

Where's the story about the machinations to deliberately harm the Sanders campaign? Where's the interview with Sanders asking what he'd have done if the emails had been leaked a few weeks earlier? Where is the headline "DNC corruption widespread", etc.

The purpose of an adversarial press (and press freedom in general) is to ask the very tough questions. The NYT has been derelict in its failure to do this when it comes to the leaked emails.

Yes, we all knew the likely content of the Goldman speeches. But the story has to do with how the HRC campaign went to great lengths to please Wall Street while also dealing with the Sanders left which was pretty strongly anti-Wall Street. Is there historical precedent for a politician to speak out of both sides of their mouth to this degree on a fairly important issue (highly likely laws will be passed pertaining to wall street reforms (or lack thereof) during her term in office, in contrast to many other wedge issues where the probability of laws being passed is next to nil)?

There has been a tremendous need for top-tier reporting on the leaked emails. You point out three stories, but there have been stories on less than 30% of the newsworthy items, vs 10-20 stories on the single incident of Trump's lewd remarks. Incidentally, the remarks speak for themselves and there is little a "journalist" can do other than quote them and let people be (appropriately) horrified.

Perhaps with respect to the lewd comments, an interactive timeline of each accuser and a status of any legal action pertaining to the claims would be helpful, but is it seriously deserving of 3-4 front page slots on the NYT every day for the past week?

Also, there has been no serious coverage of the third party candidates' positions on key issues. Frankly in spite of the few awkward aspects of each, both of them are far more impressive (and seem significantly more intelligent) making ad-hoc comments about nearly any issue.

There is nothing wrong with a news organization presenting its political opinions -- on the opinion page! The rest should be old fashioned factual reporting intended to enrich the discussion not color it or focus it on a subset of issues.

I brought up Buzzfeed simply because I fear that too much of the NYT focus has become about the number of online views/clicks a story gets, to the point where this has impacted page layout, headline copy, etc.

Perhaps the worst part is how few students who could truly use that financial aid simply don't apply to Ivy League schools since they think they'd never be able to pay for them.

I didn't know this until long after starting college.

The way the law is written you can be prosecuted for lying to your postman. Martha Stewart was not under oath when she lied to a federal agent and was sent to jail for six months based on the agent's handwritten notes of that interview.

Even if you are not trying to cheat the government out of money? Even if the government is not actually misled by your falsehood? Well it is.
You might find stories buried deep behind the paywall. But the NYT has not run any front page stories in the last 10 days about the content of the email leaks. By contrast there have been 3-5 front page stories about Trump's rude remarks every day. This is basically one story about Trump being repeated in multiple stories, yet hundreds of newsworthy stories deriving from the leaks go unreported.
You posture that an effective policy to put downward pressure on fertility is to deny access to education. A policy whose effects specifically target individuals who didn't make the decisions you want to disincentivize. I think you might want to re-think your policy positions :) In general, I don't think inhibiting access to quality education is ever an appropriate response to any situation.

There may be some buried beneath the paywall. The NYT has not run any front page stories about the content of the email leaks in the past 10 days, yet each day has run at least three front page stories about the same actual story (Trump lewd remarks and subsequent sexual assault allegations).

I'm no fan of Trump and would never vote for him, but the free and adversarial press is a crucial aspect of democracy which is not doing its job.
It's sad their pricing model punishes you getting more users so harshly. It's quite expensive for only 1000 new users.
It doesn't help that there's a long line of very angry people telling anybody who will listen "you'll never get in, only rich snobs go there".

Honest question: how does one read something like this? Take the time to research each obscure reference in each paragraph? I found it to be quite impenetrable, and boring.
You don't have to be defensive, it was just a yes or no question.
This is a tricky situation. While many universally agree Trump is dangerous in his opinions and viewpoints on many issues, you can't just severe ties with an investor because of their political affiliation. Thiel might be supporting a candidate with racist and bigotry views, but this is his choice. When it comes to business, you should never make things personal and I think worrying about someone's political affiliation is definitely making it personal.

Might not be the most popular opinion, but I think Sam made the right call here.

I would think that's just a representation of why people decide to hire employees.

Most employee roles start as assistant roles: someone hired to take the less-important work off someone else's plate, so they can concentrate on the more-important work. Assistants aren't expected to be better at their job than the person hiring them would be—rather the opposite—but are employed anyway, because they have a comparative advantage in doing that thing. They're usually valued by the company strictly less than the person delegating the work to them.

On the other hand, there are specialist roles: people hired specifically to do a particular type of work better than a generalist (e.g. the person hiring them) could have done it; or hired to do something a generalist couldn't have done at all. These people can extract a lot of value from a company if they know their own worth; people like lawyers, trade-workers, etc. can all command high contracting rates.

But corporations tend to think a lot more in terms of the assistant role than the specialist role. There are a lot of jobs in companies that started off as assistant roles, and then kept the low pay and low status even after they became specialist roles. Companies have a hard time noticing that the people in their assistant roles are actually specialists, as long as they don't actively revolt and point out their worth.

This is, I think, a big part of why you can get an average salary as a programmer at a BigCorp "through the front door", but can get a much higher salary from the same BigCorp by building a startup that they acquire. BigCorps hire assistants, but acquire specialists, and that informs how they think of you; what they're willing to pay; and what they'll employ you to do.
I learned a while ago (in therapy) to decouple anger from action. I can feel angry, and just not act on it. Without an action to act on attached to my anger, the anger just mind of melts away. Reducing need feel angry is a different skill.

The driver in the American Myth will go the way of surrey with the fringe on top.

Back when my grandmother was still alive, I was doing a crossword with she and her friend. Crossword hint was "has a fringe on top". Her friend said "surrey", the correct answer, and followed up with "my family had a surrey with a fringe". My gobsmacked grandmother said dripping with envy "your family had one with fringe?!"

Two generations later, I drool over phones and gadgetry. So yeah, the driver will go the way of the fringe.
When I was younger I decided that there were too many charities out there, and that when I get stopped in the street, or saw an advert my money would get diluted if I were to give to them.

On that basis I picked three charities, and when it is the right time of the year I give money to them, and only them.

One of the charities I chose is the RNLI, the only charity that saves lives at sea - http://rnli.org/

I picked them because they quite literally save lives, at their own risk. And while sometimes that might be because people go to sea with no knowledge, much like people go climbing mountains in their shorts and get caught out by snow, I think that they do a job that SHOULD be done.

Anyway you might prefer to pick something local, something that helps/impacts you, or you might be open to anything, I can't guess, but the lifeboat association is one choice I thought was good 20 years ago, and I still think that.

This is a good point, but I think the "magic" of perfectionism is that it hides the upper bound: if you get a 1598 out of 1600 on the SAT, then you're quite smart; if you get a 1600, then who knows, you could be infinitely smart.
>How does he know it's a "state actor"?

You'd have to ask him that. Unfortunately, he is not allowed to talk.
> Indeed, it has steadily moving left since Obama,

I'm not sure you could possibly be serious.

- Obama continued and escalated GWB's wars and ramped up the war on whistleblowers and the use of drone assassination and terror campaigns.

- Obamacare was a big corporate giveaway, ushering in the new Halliburtons of Healthcare. The Mylan epi-pen fiasco is one example among many of how the program catered to corporate interests and profits extensively. Ironically this was one reason Obama beat HRC 8 years ago, his healthcare plan was much more open to compromises with incumbent pharma and medical supply companies. He signaled this effectively through a few minor differences with HRC's plan way back then, and it got him elected.

- The only trending leftward has been inevitable changes in social values (support of gay marriage, marijuana legalization, etc.) that are an inevitable part of the oldest generation of social conservative voters dying off. Both Obama and HRC lagged by about 4-8 years on gay marriage (both opposed it until it was abundantly safe to support it).

- There has been no serious reform of Wall Street, no serious GSE reform, and Obama has called for the significant expansion of student loan programs... which are the only kind of debt not discharged when someone declares bankruptcy, making them extremely socially regressive and akin to debt slavery. Someone who is 18 taking on massive debt to attend college is not an informed consumer and does not deserve debt that they will be straddled with no matter what circumstances befall them later.

These are just a few examples. There is a reason why so many Republicans (including the Bush family) has endorsed HRC -- she's essentially running a Republican platform, with a few easily broken promises to the left thrown in.
This is not so much a PHP thing as it is a different way of thinking about things. If you know something is supposed to be an integer, you can simply force it to an integer before you do anything with it:

$id = intval(@$_POST['id']);
if (!empty($id)) { ... }

Note: 0 shouldn't be a valid value for something called 'id', since it's likely a db id; if it is, use something other than an empty() check.
