When I was playing SC2 frequently a few years ago, someone made a program that used genetic algorithms to construct build orders [1]. It would produce a build that technically worked, but in a lot of cases they weren't very viable.

I tried to make a blink stalker rush that'd be the rough equivalent of the build shown in the post liked above, just with the Protoss race in the game. The program would tell me to do things like make two extractors but put fewer than necessary probes on them, pull probes to extractors after X trips or at X time (can't remember which), things like that.

New Zealand has the same issue that Canada does, which is that there are too many incentives for buying housing as an investment. The end result is that housing prices have been spiking upward.

This is due to not only global wealth, but also locals that have been trained to believe that housing is the only good retirement investment.

Canada has finally taken some measures to reign this in, with the 15% foreign investor tax in BC and tougher mortgage rules, but a lot more needs to be done. NZ has finally started adding more regulation around housing investment as well, but I feel like they're still far behind where Canada is at.

Allowing Sinn Fein to publicly represent the interests of a terrorist group equivalent and necessary. I don't know what is supposed to have changed in Turkey that isn't a direct result of the current government being against the Republic and the rights of the people. I also don't recall the current leader doing any time for his black money, so apparently consequences are discretionary.
After Ferguson, a young, white guy at a store... extremely nice & harmless guy... in our locale was all shook up. Barely speaking to people under his breath. I asked him why. He said he was delivering a speech in a college class on something peripherally related. Some black student shouted a Ferguson connection. He tried to dismiss it in what came off to me as neutral just moving on with his assignment. Argument ensued with the entire class (mostly black) screaming at him until he sat down. Then they treated him like shit afterwards for the next few days.

He figured he might have said or done something wrong. I tried to calm him down explaining that they simply don't allow whites to have opinions on topics like this. They become a mob that can gets louder, angrier, and more dangerous as you resist. Mob-behavior is irrational and dangerous in all races. Best just to avoid talking to them until they calm down. They got along better a while after since they just wrote it off as white ignorance that they put in its place far as I can tell. That's how they describe those moments to me in the past.

I told him the real problem was that they ganged up on his ass to intimidate him into silence. We can't get any consensus or improvements if either side uses tactics like that. They all need to knock it off.

What the market "likes" isn't correlated to taste, it is correlated to scarcity.

Certain climates and variations in climate that one year, coupled with name, garner the premiums.

It isn't age or "complex nuance". Although these are one form of magic the industry relies on being perpetuated by consumers, the other is the idea that climates cannot be replicated.

you still lose if you're an asian/indian/white male.

I care about this topic because I don't want to be discriminated based on my race or gender.

It is a zero sum game. Companies will require the same head count regardless of its racial/gender composition.

At best, companies right now are lowering the bar on who they give interviews to when an under represented minority is involved (who ends up being upper middle class and privileged anyway, just like how AA works). Organizations are also providing resources and networking that I do not have access to.

On average, I suspect that some companies actually discriminate based on race/gender against white/asian/indian males when comparing interview performance with minorities.

At worst, the equal opportunity act is abolished and corporate affirmative action is allowed. This sound crazy but colleges are still able to discriminate based on race/gender so it's not that far fetched.
There are also physiological changes that affect this and perception of anything (and our other senses affect taste).

So really, you can just reduce it down to your age.
I never said i expect Rust to fix any of these problems, i would however expect it to at least try and introduce helpful constructs, instead of the ultimatum approach that every other language takes where you either program as expected or face the consequences.

There's similar legal prospect all over, if you look for it.

For example, in Texas, homeowners within an HOA can file suit against one another using the rules of the bylaws for cause. Even if/after the HOA decides not to [or stops] pursue action for some violation/infraction.

The saturated colors gave me a headache in the first hour of using the phone. Luckily, there is an option to turn on sRGB color profile buried in the developer tools menu (activated by tapping the build version in about phone menu multiple times). After turning the option on, I don't want to look at any other screen.

I'm not sure why this isn't on by default given that the sRGB option on pixel apparently has the most accurate color representation of any phone (can't remember where I read it) today.
Not fully done, but they've "retreated" from the consumer drone space.

Basically they got crushed by DJI (which was pretty predictable since the Phantom was already kind of the Bandaid/Google brand of consumer drones before 3DR went all-in with the Solo).

3DR still exists but is trying to pivot into some kind of "enterprise" mapping drone company.

Strange Sounds Around the World
I'm guessing the ambassadors on both sides are hyper-aware of cultural nuances like this. A non-story.
IIRC the exact number of startup that are founded is not fixed, they have some approximate idea but they found whatever they think is promising enough. So they didn't fill an slot in a fixed amount of startups.

Lena Dunham tweeted today that 'straight white men' are out-dated and need to be 'evolved' into better people, of course, with the leadership of women.

It was toungue-in-cheeck support for Hillary, but it's also just prejudiced, 2K up-votes, and a lot of people will buy into the casual bigotry of it. She can get away with it because she's a girl - and she knows she can - which makes it that much more cheeky, which is a Dunham thing - but still.

They lost my support about 10 years ago.

Now I pick and chose the issues.
Well, at least these aren't bursting into flames. (Although, hilariously enough, they are still sort of exploding, just in a different way.)

You don't. Package managers like aptitude will do it for you behind the scenes just like what happens on mac.
I remember checking out of bottle of "Naked" juice and being astounded by the amount of sugar in a serving; 30-50g depending on the product.

But don't worry, they've got "NO SUGAR ADDED" printed right there on the label.

Fruits tend to have a lot of sugar and when you juice / concentrate them it only makes things worse on that front.
Nasa's open source projects on GitHub
There is a growing body of research surrounding deep reinforcement learning that would reject the idea that

"[ neural networks ] are not a good fit for most real-world problems, where you have to remember something that happened in the past."
I wasn't talking about that. What i meant was, if i have to implement it myself, that's not a point in favor of Rust. Though the slice does help with rudimentary bounds checking, so that's a start, though i don't see how that differs from a generic accessor method or an overloaded operator.
Also, beyond what Karunamon mentions, i want to scan my network, my IoT devices, etc.

Besides, virus scanners are heavy and ugly, i've always hated them. Sure, it's nice to have monitoring of a breech, but why do i have to sit with holes in my security waiting for a breech? Some virus scanners try to monitor downloaded files or weird behavior etc, but i'd much rather scan my computer for holes, than things that have already exploited the security vulnerabilities that i had open.
I would love to see any federal documents that use the phrase "abolish whiteness" in any sort of mention related to funding.

If you are trying to say the gov't has an agenda in the people it funds, probably best to not put it in a direct quote. That usually indicates something like, this this literally or take this sarcastically. I don't think either was your intention.
This is where the classification heuristics and fine-grained permissions come in. Code that does anything conditioned on dates is higher risk. Code that uses location services is higher risk.

Also, many of these checks can be done by the browser in situ, so an extension that suddenly changes its behavior can be flagged for review. And pre-release malware scans can be run on banks of actual hardware that simulates different dates and locations.

Sure, there will be an arms race, but that's better than an anarchical free for all.
Yes, you're exaggerating, but I'd recommend calling an Uber if you have particularly bad luck one morning.

They comment about this at the end of the paper: "As of the writing of this article we are maintaining the first sample of the first element in the form of solid metallic hydrogen at liquid nitrogen temperature in a cryostat. This valuable sample may survive warming to room temperature and the DAC could be extracted from the
cryostat for greatly enhanced observation and further study. Another possibility is to cool to liquid helium temperatures and slowly release the load to see if SMH is metastable. An important future measurement is to study this metal for high temperature superconductivity."
Could you give an example of what that might look like?
Not saying you're wrong about this specific case, but I don't think the term "conflict of interest" is exclusive to the government. For (a somewhat vague) example, if I recommended my friend to a position at the company I worked for, "conflict of interest" would be an accurate descriptor for me being the one who interviews him for the position.

I don't know if it's "so much". I can think of several causes, but I don't know how big the overall effect is.
Why is that time scale interesting to you as opposed to e.g. the last 150k years?
It does provide a pile of helpful constructs (references, slices, generics, privacy), which, if they don't work 100%, are still brilliant building blocks for creating abstractions that expose safe interfaces, allowing the areas where "program as expected" is required to be concentrated into controlled areas/libraries. (And, all those features still work in the unsafe code, helping the programmer get it correct.)

It works really well in practice, even if it isn't bulletproof... there's nothing to stop a programmer typing 'unsafe' to side-step the safe interfaces in random places, but one quickly learns this is usually just heaping unnecessary debugger work on oneself, to track down little mistakes that the compiler would normally point to directly.
I would just set up a new account for each student, have them use their own billing info, have them use the free tier, teach them how to set up billing alerts, and let them go to town. They're going to need to learn to take cost into account when working at a real job with AWS so this is the best way to teach them to take accountability.
One could, but it would be an obnoxious just-so story.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Just-so_story
Super cool stuff! There are some greatly quotable sentences in the paper:

> Moreover, SMH (solid metal hydrogen) is predicted to be metastable so that it may exist at room temperature when the pressure is released. If so, and superconducting, it could have an important impact on mankind’s energy problems and would revolutionize rocketry as a powerful rocket propellant.

> The principal limitation for achieving the required pressures to observe SMH in a DAC (diamond anvil cell) has been failure of the diamonds.

> The sample was cryogenically loaded at 15 K and included a grain of ruby for pressure determination.

> As of the writing of this article we are maintaining the first sample of the first element in the form of solid metallic hydrogen at liquid nitrogen temperature in a cryostat.
A lot of critical thinking and questioning of authority without the proper framework of rationality and methodology can backfire into turning more people into paranoid tinfoil hatters rather than critical thinkers with a healthy skepticism of leaders.

Unfortunately, most of our current public education system was not designed to create thinkers as much as assembly line workers and this erodes the confidence in our education system by knee-jerk public institution haters that make up a great deal of the US population.

I don't particularly like public anything but the either-or mentality that pervades public discourse really needs to be addressed for progress in discourse to proceed. Talking about the same wedge issues like we did 50 years ago as if nothing's changed since the issue came up is not progress in discourse at all by definition. It's reminiscent of many long, bad marriages - the arguments are always the same.

The idea that immigrants “don’t fit together” with existing Americans is rhetoric pitched toward places where there are few immigrants, making the immigrants a convenient scapegoat / bogeyman because they can’t answer back. The places with substantial immigrant populations are mostly getting along just fine.

I've written these same things. The real value of diversity is different approaches to problem solving in various domains like leadership, product development, performance assessment, technical aptitude, crisis/dispute management, and more. It was obvious that getting races by themselves wouldn't solve the problem when most startups and big companies alike were already filtering candidates to be more like them ("culture fit"). That's killing diversity at the start.

The alternative is meritocracy. Things like blind auditions or at least leveraging existing diversity in assessments. There should be extra attention paid to whether the person has skills that complement the team's or took unusual but effective approaches to certain problems. I see that kind of stuff all the time in my line of work although management sees a lot less. It's because I'm looking harder. I don't care what the race or other traits of the person was as those who impress me vary considerably. I enjoy seeing the differences as I learn from them so long as the differences are mental.
