It's more of a testing limitation. These programs are only occasionally tested against humans. You need expert players to test, they're not available all the time, and it takes a long time to play a single game (unlike poker). You can use databases of online games but it won't tell you how the player would have responded to a different move 37.

If you're writing a program to beat anyone, there isn't much point in optimizing the algorithm for a specific opponent's weaknesses when there are improvements to make that would work against anyone and the improvement in strength can be evaluated using computer testing alone.

Work on exploiting specific opponents' weaknesses is typically done using much simpler games (check out what's been done for rock paper scissors).
It's fine... but I have to ask: is it really good to have another game in which you can't win?

You can complete a level -- but then a new, faster one starts. Change the semantics to "You won Level N!" and add an optional cookie to remember your high-scores, and this becomes a much more positive game.
GHC has had a few major rewrites of key components.
You misunderstand my final comment. Under the original system there was no popular vote for President. If we still adhered to the original system, the main candidates for President in 2016 would be Jeb Bush and Hillary Clinton, and if the state legislatures maintained their current partisan split, then Jeb Bush would be the heavy favorite to win. Trump would be a non-factor since he wouldn't have had the institutional support of the GOP across enough of the state legislatures to really be in contention.

As for your characterizations of Clinton and Trump, let me say I disagree. Someone who looked at Tiananmen Square and openly cheered the "strength" used in putting down pro-democracy protesters, and indeed continues to praise strongmen everywhere as models of leadership, is someone whose values are fundamentally incompatible with leading a democracy. Why that is less objectionable than a generic center-left candidate who is a bit too cozy with monied interests is beyond me.

It is not Nvidia's job to prop up the desktop linux ecosystem. It's wise not to invest time in that ecosystem, as far as I can tell. It's got an ongoing history of disappointing its customers and vendors over and over.

YouTube Documentary Series about the Swedish Startup Ecosystem by Gabe Savage
Tech journalist Gabe Savage travels to Sweden to try and find out why Stockholm is the #2 unicorn capital of the world. Several of the responses he gets whilst in New York is that they believe that this holds true because Sweden is a "socialist" country.

Sweden is historically a social democratic country with liberal tendencies. Of late the legislation, taxes and other traditional socialist trademarks has been lessened. This naturally has some implications on the way Sweden has the ability to maintain their system of government funded programs.

The big question is, if this will matter? Could it be that part of Sweden's success has been that we have a lot of social security that allow people to take risks, or is there something else about Stockholm that makes it so great at generating unicorn startups?

Here is the first episode of the series: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eRgvM_xXNy0

Removing damage from the stack actually makes the game more complex. Previously, it was always correct to stack damage first. There was zero penalty. If you knew the rules then you got to make the optimal choice.

Now you actually have to choose. Do I want this creature to deal damage or do I want to get the benefit of some effect due to sacrificing it or whatever. Sakura-Tribe Elder got worse but it got much more strategically interesting.

"Don't add anything on top aside from what is needed for the bare minimum of your project you are learning with"

I believe not following this advice is the reason why so many (of us) are having difficulties in getting started. It very tempting to try to go for the "best-possible-stack" which includes too many neat libraries for solving some specific problems. This leads to endless troubleshooting which kills all the fun.
We're beyond the point of "sometimes".

There was a dead zone during SRB burn

Those alone made it a serious death trap, if you're designing man-rated systems, you like the big boosters to be liquid fueled because you can turn them off if needed, and in many if not most of the relevant failure modes they'll effectively do that anyway.

And getting back to my point, as echoed by others, none of these equal a launch escape system, a "Get me the hell out of here!" system for when things have gone horribly and irretrievably wrong with the main system.

Particularly unforgivable when it was billed as a boring space truck, when in reality it needlessly ran on the hairy edge in many of its systems. Add the post-Apollo NASA's public works attitude, and we ended up with NASA killing two shuttles and their crews.

“The complexity of life” is really ambiguous. The actual headline, “Negative Emotions Are Key to Well-Being”, is much more descriptive.
This is exactly how I felt when reading this! A reasonable hypothesis followed by some weak and vague experiments (how do you measure the creativity of drawings?). I'm sure many would accept the hypothesis alone (given some reasonable-sounding justification) without ever looking to see if the experiments truly validate the hypothesis.

What bias is this called again? It's not Texas Sharpshooter is it? Maybe just poor science?

Again, this is not to say the effect does not exist (I personally believe it does) - just that the conclusion does not follow from the evidence.
Or losing the private key or forgetting the password. I have public keys that are older than a lot of HN commenters that I have not been able to use for almost two decades, I can't imagine how fun it would be do design a system where your private key is integral to your civic rights.

Build a system that can handle public keys for 100K people for more than ten years and then I might think about letting you start working on a pilot system to work out the additional failure scenarios, but absolutely nothing that the tech industry has produced in the past thirty years provides me with any sense of confidence that they would not screw this up horribly (and then those same people would complain bitterly on some future HN equivalent about what a waste of money this effort was.)

> No, crash reporting is easily done with logs, preferably in some format you could redact any sensitive information from. This seems more like the "I will secretly phone home and not tell you about it or what I'm sending" kind of thing.

It's not terribly secret, now was it? It was... you know... immediately discovered and I'm pretty sure my driver changelog AND firewall asked about it.

> These are GPU drivers. It's not at all unreasonable that there may be something sensitive shown on the screen when a crash occurs.

Pardon me, could you please explain exactly what in the telemetry or common crash logs might reflect "sensitive" information? You seem to me like you're arguing from some sort of grand final consequence, "Well I assume there is sensitive data here!" And while perhaps that's not an unreasonable default policy to take, you might want to state it as such rather than implying (as you have) that it's been observed already.

In general, telemetry doesn't include bulk memory dumps. The technology for collection strongly discourages this, as the endpoints collecting standard telemetry need to run at the scale of your customer base. I'd be much more concerned about sharing log dumps if you've filled your framebuffers with confidential information.
It works the opposite way; by having a touch laptop touchers have this hilarious public shaming moment when the UI recoils away from them pawing at my display.

What's particularly weird are involuntary touchers who are physically incapable of gesturing at something on the laptop screen without touching it. Watching them lock up as they attempt to control their arms while talking is amazing, it's like they're learning to ride a bike for the first time.

Books Warren Buffett thinks you should read
I have an nVidia card, but it's rather old and I have not updated the drivers on it past a version that just seemed to cause occasional crashes. It works fine for what I need, and is somewhat disruptive to change. As a believer in the "leave it alone if it works" principle, and especially after this news, I'm probably not going to try any newer drivers now.
You are fooling yourself if you think technology can be separated from politics.
The anonymity requirement is relatively easy to solve for with either blind signatures or a homomorphic voting scheme. The general availability part is trickier since solving for it is akin to solving for the current issues with voter registration and disenfranchisement. India is having decent success rolling out their UIDAI program, so there's hope on that front, but distribution is the part of the stack that math and technology can't solve for directly.
> I've witnessed this phenomenon at work when asking other people for help with problems. My coworkers come up with more creative solutions than I did, much faster. The only problem is that when I'm asking for help with stuff, it tends to be tricky stuff with lots of edge cases. My coworkers' solutions tend to not actually work...

You can see this phenomenon in the HN comments on pretty much any article about Self Driving Cars. Everybody seems to have an extremely creative solution to some problem, as long as you're willing to ignore all of the inconvenient reality that researchers and corporations actually have to handle.
How i got my  enlarged
Hello viewers around the Globe, am Atonio Gomes from Brasil, I was despondent because i had a very small penis, about 2.5 inches soft and 4 inches hard not nice enough to satisfy a woman, i have been in so many relationship, but cut off because of my situation, i have used so many product which doctors prescribe for me, but none could offer me the help i searched for. I saw some few comments on the internet about this specialist called Dr, Olori and decided to contact him on his website i saw on the internet http://drolorimiraclemedicine.webs.com/ so I decided to give his herbal product a try. i emailed him and he got back to me, he gave me some comforting words with his herbal pills for Penis Enlargement, Within 3 week of it, i began to feel the enlargement of my penis, " and now it just 4 weeks of using his products my penis is about 9 inches longer, and i had to settle out with my Ex girlfriend, i was surprised when she said that she is satisfied with my sex and i have got a large penis. Am so happy, thanks to Dr Olori I also learn that Dr Olori also help with Breast Enlargement Hips and Bums Enlargement etc.. If you are in any situation with a little Penis, weak ejaculation, small breast_hips_bums do get to Dr.Olori now for help on his website http://drolorimiraclemedicine.webs.com/ or

> The Japanese economy is roughly 1/3rd the public sector, 1/3rd low-productivity firms like restaurants or traditional craftsmen, and 1/3rd high-productivity household-name megacorps.

Why are restaurants and traditional craftsmen considered “low-productivity?” That really strikes me as odd, I have the opposite connotation. I.e. the former being only sustainable as long as they serve a direct demand, while the latter spends most of the time for leviathan’s sake, and is more focused on generating demand (advertising budgets) than solving problems (leviathan can’t be sustained when there are no problems left).

I stoped playing right around the time this change was implemented. What I felt back then was that while you are right in principle, in theory what happened was that the power level of a lot of interesting cards dropped so much they weren't playable anymore. So while my Mogg Fanatics got more complex, it didn't really matter because at that point I had to drop them from my deck, usually replacing them with something more dumb and mana efficient.

Personally I think that the HN response of, "We flag politics" is really just a blind for not discussing sensitive topics like racism, sexism, and human rights in a larger sense.

But that won't stop me from trying to fairly apply the policy to the free software people who are utterly convinced that serving their agenda is a net good rather than a lifestyle choice.
I am actively looking for someone to work with but its hard to convince people without a budget.
Ah and to your question about if I researched the market beforehand - someone in the industry convinced me there was a market and I guess I wanted to believe it was true so I didn't do that much research :(

Spinning's entirely possible to survive. The Saturn missions tested it (and it was a really good test - something went wrong and the rocket actually went out of control) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AqeJzItldSQ

A tumble should be fairly trivial to detect and fire only when the capsule's in its upwards pointing portion of the tumble. Plus, you'd only be firing into the ground if you're pretty early in the launch - the Dragon launch abort only sent it up a kilometer or so. Finally, the launch abort is pretty sensitive - deviating not far off the right direction should trigger it, before a full-on tumble.
Generally speaking, the cheap decks people start the game with aren't very interesting to pilot. They don't have enough removal, which is one of the primary ways players interact with their opponent's board. They definitely don't have boardwipes, which means just playing the best creature in hand each turn is usually the right play. They typically don't have much card selection. And most complexity is concentrated at higher rarities, so these decks tend to have simple cards.

That's not to say that all cheap decks are boring, or all tournament decks are interesting, but cards like, say, Duskwatch Recruiter, Dromoka's Command, or Despise, for example, just offer more choices than Craw Wurms or Grizzly Bears.

Regarding what others have said:

Damage not going on the stack was a good change IMO. Sacrificing Mogg Fanatic was always the right play; now it's less obvious. I agree with akud on detention sphere vs. O-ring.

Hexproof over Shroud was a mistake; with that said, they seem to have figured that out, and we're getting cards like Pristine Skywise or Dragonlord Ojutai instead.

I'm sad to see Protection be replaced by Indestructible. Morph/Manifest and DFCs show that they're not entirely shying away from complex mechanics.
It's even worse if you consider rarity. A pack has one slot for rare cards, three slots for uncommon, etc. 1/8 of the time the rare card will be a "mythic rare". The latest set has 53 rares and 15 mythic rares, so the chance of having even one copy of a particular rare card in your box is 1-(1-1/53×7/8)^36 or 45%. For mythic rares the probability is only 1-(1-1/15×1/8)^36 or 26% that you'll even have one copy. Then consider the number of times you'll want a "playset" of a card, which means four copies.

The only sane options I can see are:

* Play limited formats

* Play casual with proxies

* Buy individual cards

They are working to monetize you by (ideally) showing you ads for things you actually want to buy. Connecting willing buyers and sellers is generally considered good in a capitalist society.

Of course we're all familiar with the ways consumers can gamed and all the ways adtech makes the Internet suck, but the argument about good intentions works at least as well as it does for law enforcement.

(Maybe better because it's not about coercion.)
I remember playing the game in the late 90s, and trying again in the early 2000's.

The strategy and game-play dynamics were awesome. Not so awesome: the fact that the amount of money a player spends acquiring rarer cards and assembling a deck dictates their success. It's a pay-to-win game and I fucking hate games like that. Not unlike paintball, he who spends the most on gear wins.

That's vastly different.

1. You aren't living with authority figures. The RA's that you live with are also students. So minimal conflict of interest in living your life.

2. You don't expect to live there indefinitely

3. You aren't relying on the school to provide means for living. You're paying the school for the privilege to be there. That means you aren't screwed if they fire you.

IIRC the stress on the capsule is actually considerably greater during LPAS than during any normal launch (remember that the capsule has to outrun the rocket if anything goes wrong), not to mention a potentially hard landing.

So overall unlike humans there is actually pretty low chance for the cargo to survive intact and satellites isn't something you can just fix a dent in, taking it apart doing a full analysis of every component checking for stress, microfractures, and pretty everything else under the sun would probably cost just as much if not more than building a new one.

In this case insurance is pretty much the way to go, especially once you consider the added costs of actually building a LPAS or IFAS for satellites / in orbit release payloads and the fact that they have very little chance of surviving the abort without any damage.
