Of course. I've never seen someone argue they were being discriminated against on the basis of race, and that they know this because someone else offered to do more work for less money and were chosen.

Denver driver/transit-er here. Cars aren’t automatically better than transit in many cases.

The rail is nearly as fast and much less hassle along the I-25 corridor, which is why I take it. My route is probably the most optimal of course as I both live and work near a light rail station.

I’ve commuted from south Denver to Boulder and that is about 30 minutes longer using Public Transit, but that’s largely due to transfer waits.
I used to live in NYC, and I miss enormously (among other things) the connivence of the NYC subway. I've taken many times more Lyfts in the past few months than I did in years in NYC (including taxis).
Well, the proof is contrived, but that's not the point: it's also unnecessary
and it may also be insufficient.

To claim a system is Turing complete, what you need is (a) a store, from and to
which you can read and write; (b) branching (if-statements); and (c) the
ability to repeat instructions an arbitrary number of times (while-statements).

It's easy to show that M:tG has all of the above: the Stack is a store; you
read from and write to it when you place abilities on and resolve them from
it. Branching and loops are present in ability text sentences like the
following:

You win the game if you control a land of each basic land type and a creature
of each color. [1]

When you cast this spell, copy it for each spell cast before it this
turn. [2]

As to a demonstration that the system actually works- you can point to any
M:tG game.

Finally- the proof in the OP may not be general enough. It uses only a limited
sub-set of M:tG cards, so the best we can tell is that that specific sub-set
of M:tG cards is Turing complete. For a more general proof, you at least have
to explain why a specific subset is chosen and explain why you can substitute
it with any other subset without loss of generality.

The problem is that "card" is not a granular enough unit of the M:tG game to
define as a symbol of an alphabet. A really general proof would make use of
tokens of the ability text language. Such a proof would hold for any set of
cards.

It can be an interesting exercise to look at the census demographics for a county between 1900 and now. My home county had more black residents in 1920 than in 1990.

It wasn't accidental in many smaller towns:

Regardless of our feelings toward any individual and their punishment, it's necessary to look at this problem from an organizational level. Groups of prisoners seeking out individuals with some attribute, including those having committed the most heinous crimes, is a sign that the prison as an organization is not fulfilling its duties. First and foremost, a prison is about control. I don't see it as a place that should allow anarchic dog-eat-dog behavior while someone bars the door, but rather the authorities have a monopoly on violence. They set the ground rules for behavior. Otherwise, what is the whole apparatus of guards and administration for?

That's the point here. The parent comment is leveraging the credibility of the SPLC to smear a community/region based on the organization's subjective definition of 'hate groups'.

An interactive 'hate map' seems to encourage this form of stereotyping. It's all about the branding. It works because there's always a kernel of truth in stereotypes (I'm sure there are true hate groups in Indiana), but that raises larger questions about stereotyping regions or races or religions or anything for that matter.

All the hassles and searching would be worth it if the prices on amazon weren't so horrible. Especially their scammy amazon pantry. Household items like paper towels and laundry detergent are sometimes 2X or more what I'd get in my local supermarket on a sale.

Prices are terrible on amazon but at least amzn's stock price has skyrocketed.

They read the arm-slot, grip, and initial spin of ball from 90 feet away, and then react to it.

Table tennis is similar because you read the spin based off of the position of their paddle hitting the ball (table tennis balls are typically unmarked so reading the spin directly is a no-go).

OTOH, the table tennis stroke is more similar to a baseball bunt than a baseball swing as the paddle spends more time in a position overlapping the predicted path of the ball. This is somewhat negated by the much shorter distances in table tennis. It's hard to say which requires more quick reaction to complicated inputs.

I completely agree with you and I agree with disrupting the classroom. A good approach is to simply make an online classroom that has all the bells and whistles of innovative technology - on-demand, free or low-cost, high-quality materials, community interaction and so on. For traditional subjects the existing textbooks are good from a content point of view. They've been peer reviewed hundreds of times. The problem is that it is difficult to just self-study these books and understand the subject completely.

In my use case, strings are "string" and binary are "bytes". Which I think is much safer.

> If that's the case you wouldn't expect drastically different LVTs for a given region.

The LVT may be the same percentage statewide, but the absolute amount of tax depends on the value of the land which is drastically different across regions. Cf downtown San Francisco vs farmland in the central valley.

If it's abandoned (bad crime, fewer services etc) the land will be worth less than elsewhere in the city.
To an extent, that's true. But they really have more in common than either does with any other region.

Not necessarily Houston. FEMA gets involved... if you're in a flood zone, FEMA mandates flood insurance (and so do the mortgage companies.)
UBI isn't intended to solve economic problems that existed or even could be centuries ago - it tackles the problem of poverty of people becoming unemployable due to technological progress, despite very high productivity allowing to satisfy the basic needs of everyone with a small fraction of gross national product, or a small fraction of population working on those basic needs. It's a serious problem for the future, but we're just barely (and only in select locations) beginning to have it. UBI doesn't make sense until the abovementioned conditions arrive, but they're coming, and I'm not aware of any other sensible solutions for these solutions.

When this situation comes, the good option is that the society simply gives the new class of unemployable people their basic needs one way (like UBI) or another; the evil option is that the society doesn't give them the basic needs and they starve (since their labor has no value and they have nothing to trade for these basic needs); and the third option is that they take the basic needs in a revolution that likely destroys half of the society. Really, noone wants the second or third options, including most of the 0.1%, so we will see some mass redistribution system being implemented.

In 1917, taking all the resources from rich people and giving it to poor people wasn't enough to keep the poor people out of starvation for long and destroyed the productivity totally. In 2017, taking more money from the rich to feed the poor doesn't require even close to taking all their resources, as feeding the poor is so much cheaper compared to 1917; it would be deeply unpopular but is doable without killing the rich, and the society could sustain such level of taxation indefinitely if they wished even if nothing changed - but it's going to change, and in 2037 taking enough resources from the rich (i.e. the owners of highly automated means of production) to feed everyone UBI-style would be expected to be just a minor tax, and a boost for the economy, giving spending power to people who'd otherwise have no spending power at all.

Be aware, that the SBB in Switzerland measures delays differently than other Countries. They don't look at train departure times, but passenger arrival times.

E.g in Germany a train is considered delayed if its more than 5 minutes and 59 seconds late, whereas in Switzerland the percentage refers to passengers that arrive within 3 minutes and still have all the connecting trains available.

Automated tooling is a must, yes. The riskiest part about relying on ONLY GH's solution (IMO) is the NVD/CVE limitation.

I agree, CVE would be _awesome_ in theory. In reality, very few file for CVE's and so the coverage is iffy (~11% of npm package vulns and about ~67% of rubygem vulns https://snyk.io/stateofossecurity/).

But it goes beyond that. There was a great paper earlier this year (https://arxiv.org/abs/1705.05347) that highlighted many other issues: lag between CVE and NVD (which is where all the useful info comes from), mismatched CPE's, nonexistent CPE's, etc.

I would love to see us get to a point where the CVE/NVD was enough, but we're far from it right now.

Mashable Agrees to Sell to Ziff Davis for Around $50M
Kyle,

I applaud the concept of sharing ideas for entrepreneurs to tackle.

However, this list of ideas is dangerously bad, with nearly all of them suffering from either monetization challenges or huge execution issues. Anyone that sets out to solve these as-is will end up wasting a great deal of time, effort, and resources.

It's generally bad form to approach a startup idea from the perspective of "wouldn't it be great if XYZ existed?" Startup ideas aren't simply about identifying a problem to be solved - they are about identifying problems with achievable solutions that will make money. That's a lot harder to identify.

Having founders or investors speculate about "what would be cool" in a problem domain that they don't have much experience in is inevitably going to result in ideas that underestimate transactional costs or the shape of the problem itself.

A better approach might be to create a product similar to HN (or extension thereof), where users can post problems identified and/or solutions proposed, and discuss the issues thoroughly, as well as vote up problem/solution pairs that seem like good ideas.

This communal discussion should, with a broad enough user base, quickly sieve the problem/solution pairs that are feasible from the ones that are not.
Adding a second source of truth sounds like a bad idea to me. Now you have to update it in lockstep? No thanks.

The problem is that Denver has too low a population density combined with the fact that owning and operating a car is too cheap, easy and flexible.

Cars are too cheap because we subsidize them too much, in terms of roads, parking lots and so on. It still strikes me as crazy that >$1B in land value (back of the envelope calculation) of Manhattan is dedicated to FREE street parking.

Likewise in most places population density is too low as a consequence of just how much land there is and as a matter of policy. It's crazy to me that in a city like Atlanta (for example) you can get 1-2 acre lots.

> The GPL license meant that improvements were shared rather than squirreled away in various proprietary spin-offs and thus lost when whatever company was behind them folded (generally, exceptions going both ways surely exist!).

I've always debated this. You would think that BSD licenses would be more attractive to corporations like google, amazon, facebook, etc and GPL licenses were more attractive to researchers and one would have thought that the BSD systems ( freebsd, netbsd, openbsd, etc ) would be the dominant unix-style OSes. Instead the GPL linux based OSes became dominant.
What does that get you?
Yes, GCP would be extremely desirable.
> Kierkegaard’s greatest illustration of this is his retelling of the story of Abraham and Isaac in Fear and Trembling (1843). Abraham is often held up as a paradigm of faith because he trusted God so much he was prepared to sacrifice his only son on his command. Kierkegaard makes us realize that Abraham acted on faith not because he obeyed a difficult order but because lifting the knife over his son defied all morality and reason. No reasonable man would have done what Abraham did. (...) So when Abraham took his leap of faith, he took leave of reason and morality.

I don't know if Kierkegaard actually said any of this, but it's wrong. Child sacrifice is as old as time. Many myths or actual rituals involved killing one's own children. It's found in most ancient cultures from the Middle East to the Americas.

It was therefore not "irrational" to do so, but, rather, quite reasonable and normal (if horrible), esp. in dire times.

The innovation found in some books of the Bible was just the opposite: to declare that child sacrifice is in fact bad and should be avoided.

And of course Jesus is that exact same myth of child sacrifice (with a twist: he dies but lives again).
