I wrote one of these a few years back: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/18947892/creating-range-... - honestly I hate this sort of cleverness in real code but it makes for interesting puzzles.

It was a very interesting interview, mostly for the parts that weren't about Tezos. Breitman explains the use case for Turing complete smart contracts: Spending limits.

Everything else can be implemented by m-of-n multisig and off-chain oracles. This is something anyone about to invest in smart contract technology should think long and hard about.
Wow. A pattern of mismanagement in Apple Software Engineering is emerging, and it seems to be getting worse. The spotlight is on Craig F. to turn things around quickly. Is he up to it?
Gender seems different than race. With race the inequality is passed on through the generations. You inherit the discrimination against your ancestors. Gender inequality is not really passed on, because whether someone is rich or poor, male or female, they have a 50% chance of having a son or daughter.

Nick Land's ideas at least marginally relevant to the OP as far as I can tell.
He's not broken. Something about your argument tugs at the very foundation of his identity. By attacking something so close (what ever it is) to his identity he percieves it as personal.

Is it at least faster than the anonymous function?
That also has a formal mathematical interpetation as a distribution rather than a function now and the theory of distributions found many applications in PDEs.

An interesting thing is that before Dirac, Green was already informally using distributions in the 1830s to solve differential equations with what we now call Green's functions.

Closely related to Green's functions are the fundamental solutions to an elliptic operator, consider the Laplacian and its fundamental solution in Rⁿ (n≥3), what's the Laplacian of the fundamental solution? A Dirac's delta!
The New York times walks through an example using Apple and iTunes. It is much worse than example of parking a Euro in the country it was earned.

For instance, one of Apple’s subsidiaries in Luxembourg, named iTunes S.à r.l., has just a few dozen employees, according to corporate documents filed in that nation and a current executive. The only indication of the subsidiary’s presence outside is a letterbox with a lopsided slip of paper reading “ITUNES SARL.”

Luxembourg has just half a million residents. But when customers across Europe, Africa or the Middle East — and potentially elsewhere — download a song, television show or app, the sale is recorded in this small country, according to current and former executives. In 2011, iTunes S.à r.l.’s revenue exceeded $1 billion, according to an Apple executive, representing roughly 20 percent of iTunes’s worldwide sales.

The advantages of Luxembourg are simple, say Apple executives. The country has promised to tax the payments collected by Apple and numerous other tech corporations at low rates if they route transactions through Luxembourg. Taxes that would have otherwise gone to the governments of Britain, France, the United States and dozens of other nations go to Luxembourg instead, at discounted rates.

And that's the simple part, read the "Double Irish" section, which is an even worse tactic.

If we use early Australia as an example then they will die without ever getting married.

There is a theory that the historically extreme anti-homosexual culture of Australia was a blowback from this time [1].

Their situation sounds very familiar here in Singapore, the country with the lowest fertility rate in the world.
I think the biggest tragedy is that media outlets are not discussing the misdirection of this whole thing.

The new "leaders" are billing this as "restoring internet freedom" by repealing "Obama Era" regulation as if things are being put back to some prior status quo that never actually existed. FCC enforced this rules prior, Verizon challenged on overreach and won, and the adjustments were made to bring enforcement within their reach. This article does a pretty good job of covering some of the history: http://fortune.com/2017/11/22/net-neutrality-fcc-ajit-pai-ve... .

The rest of the details are kinda moot IMHO when the foundation of their argument, that this is going back to some more free internet(free for ISPs) that never existed, is dishonest.
I actually think this interface is a better way to read a tweetstorm, it could just do with prefixing the title with "A tweetstorm by patio11" to remove the confusion.

The idea of non developers voting on protocol changes fascinates me. I wonder if the early adopters of the car would vote for it to have four legs and combust hay?

Taking the risk to appeal to some developer elitism here, it is still important to realize the different needs of those who will build future products on the technology as opposed to those about to turn a quick buck on a use case that already exists.

I guess we will never know for sure as there is nothing that can differentiate democratic voting from Sybil attacks without identity.
Nope. In the long run all that matters is culture.

Small community may thrive. Community that was absorbed by different culture, no matter how large, is no longer yours.

Immigrants usually have zero desire to go to remote, poor areas. Maybe at some point they did, but today they target large urban areas. That makes sense - if locals can't make use of a piece of land, recent immigrants will struggle even more.
Not exactly. Brain has prior knowledge (deep learning). Lets take a picture of a car as an example. License plate has letters/numbers, so even if it cuts lower half you will try to guess by fitting the most likely symbol combinations. Approach from the article has no prior knowledge, wouldnt be able to inpaint meaningful letters, nor guess most cars have wheels, bumpers, drive on the road etc.
You're missing the economic burden of extra children in modern urbanized settings, along with the rise of women in the workplace which further lowers fertility.

As far as I can tell, this trend is global in every modern urban setting, some are just further along.

If most people really wanted denser housing, the laws would change. Despite money and developers being aligned for dense housing, the majority stops it because they like their houses.

In the opposite case in modern day USA, black men are much less likely to marry than their peers.

The Engineering Marvel of Scallop Eyes
I am a woman and was one of the top 3 students of my graduating high school class. I never got the two career couple lifestyle I grew up believing would happen. A friend of the family once asked me why the hell I failed to be a self made millionaire by age 30.

The ugly history of people of color outlined in one of the links in this discussion has some things in common with the outcomes women have.

But I don't really feel like arguing it. This is an overwhelmingly male forum. I increasingly feel it is pointless to try to give a female point of view here. It will be downvoted, dismissed and attacked. If The resist, I will be accused of behaving badly while the insults to me are treated like reasonable statements that I am simply overreacting to.

So, suffice it say, I don't agree with you. If you were correct, then women should have economic parity with men. They don't.

The exact details may vary a bit, but the feminization of poverty is a phrase in our lexicon for a reason. When people talk like it isn't real, I never know quite what to think of that. I have a really hard time accepting that people sincerely don't see something so obvious for which there is overwhelming evidence.

Yet I also realize it is obvious to me because I happen to be female. There are lots of details about the Black experience that I am inadequately aware of. So that gives me pause when it comes to trying to assess why men say such things. But I feel pretty worn down and hopeless of late.

This has always fascinated me. I can understand the reasoning behind it, but still don’t completely “get” it. It seems so counter intuitive. I ended up writing code to simulate it too. Glad it’s not just me that need that extra level of proof.

Musk is becoming unhinged. If Tesla is to survive, he needs to resign (or be removed) from the Tesla CEO role. That would free him up to focus exclusively on SpaceX.
How it was remotely exploitable?
It's a neat story, but IMO the article doesn't do a good job linking this small subculture to modern society. Just because you see the same effect (low childbirth) doesn't mean the cause is the same, and it doesn't mean the outcome will be the same.
That might be clever, but aside from possible performance gains it's worse than the trivial alternative arr.map(it => it.trim()).

increase the uninsured rate substantially

If people choose to drop insurance because they aren't mandated to buy it, then it is on them

increase the deficit dramatically

certainly true

trigger automatic cuts to Medicare

This is the only reason I'm replying, because there is no way that it will happen. No one wants cuts, and it would be political poison. Claiming it is fear mongering (not you, but the people using it to attack the bill).

War against whom? The only likely options are those with land borders to China, and massive populations of their own.
It's much clearer if instead of 3 doors, you use a big number, let's say 100 doors.

So you pick one of the 100 doors, then the host closes 98 other doors that are guaranteed to be wrong. Now, you can chose between that one door you started with, or go with the one door that's left after the host removed 98 wrong doors. Intuitively, which one is more likely to be right? The one you randomly picked out of 100, or the one left after 98 doors were discarded?
It has more to do with where you're raised than who your parents are. Second-generation immigrants often have wildly different culture than their parents.

> In the long run all that matters is culture.

Genetics seems to play a key role in the development of culture and social structure. If you move 1M Mexicans in Tokyo, their offspring will not act like Japanese people do, regardless of the environment. They would exhibit different behavioral and voting patterns.
I don't see propaganda as much of a reason, it's simply that it looks sufficiently different.

But of course you are right that the alphabet is not so difficult in the end. Different people have different learning capabilities, but that "one afternoon" for the alphabet is not unreasonable. Correct pronunciation of the many variants of s (с, ж, з, ц, ч, ш, щ) will take much longer. I have never actually studied Russian, but can quite often understand newspaper headlines just by knowing the alphabet, and several Indo-European languages and Finnish, which has some common vocabulary.
I'm sorry, but I really can't shed a tear for the economic worries of people who are worth $1-5 million, when even in first World countries there are hundreds of millions of people who are scraping by with negative worths...

Which Canadian schools have software engineering degrees which are vocational?

Note that my degree is from a well-reputed Canadian school that has a "software engineering specialization", and as far as I can tell (though I did not take it) that specialization is indistinguishable from the main CS curriculum, and is not valid vocational training.
Mitch McConnell's word is worth nothing. Republicans are already talking about "entitlement reform", aka cuts to Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid. Any hope that the GOP will avoid a particular course of action because it's "political suicide" should be dead and buried after the last year.

As for the uninsured rate, eliminating the mandate will not only cause people to voluntarily drop insurance but also involuntarily push people out of insurance due to the resulting increase in premiums. That's what happens when you kick out one of the legs of a three-legged stool.
That's not because of their genetics; it's because of a tendency for groups of people to reproduce their culture. If a family in Mexico City adopted a baby from Tokyo, the kid would become a part of Mexican culture, to the extent that the Mexican culture accepts people who don't look Mexican. They would not be a part of Japanese culture.
Nope. Thanks for sharing, I'll definitely look at it, as I'm looking for ways to improve both my handwriting and note-taking.
Since a lot of university mathematicians, engineers, and physicists famously got the answer wrong, I've classified The Monty Hall Problem as more of an "English parsing" problem instead of a math problem. From wikipedia[1], the problem as stated:

>"Suppose you're on a game show, and you're given the choice of three doors: Behind one door is a car; behind the others, goats. You pick a door, say No. 1, and the host, who knows what's behind the doors, opens another door, say No. 3, which has a goat. He then says to you, "Do you want to pick door No. 2?" Is it to your advantage to switch your choice?"

The key phrase that everyone glosses over is: ", and the host, who knows what's behind the doors, opens another door, say No. 3, which has a goat."

If it was reworded as "the host who knows what's behind the doors and _always_ opens the door with a goat and _never_ opens the door with the car", the mathematicians would have seen the 2/3rds probability. The original wording with the nonchalant "say" in the middle of ", opens another door, _say_ No. 3, which has a goat" makes it seems like there was no link between the host's knowledge of what's behind the door and the opening of door #3 and therefore random. Therefore, the 50/50 probability seemed to be the correct answer.

[1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monty_Hall_problem
No, there is not - it is purely "language lawyer", it is actually slower in most cases - especially on newer versions of V8 that use TurboFan.
Divide the doors into two sets, the door that you chose and those that you did not.

There is a 1/3 chance that the correct door is in the first set.

There is a 2/3 chance that the correct door is in the second set.

You are then told that one of the doors in the second set is not the correct door.

This new information has no impact on the probabilities associated with the complete sets - it only impacts the probabilities within the second set.

Previously both doors (in the second set) had a 1/3 probability, now one has been eliminated and the remaining has a 2/3 probability.
