It's not that your idea doesn't have merit. It does. I went down this path myself, in the beginning.

But if you game out the implications of this, the conclusion is that everyone will see a different front page. And that has a bunch of subtle implications.

Reddit tried it. It could work. But it makes for a divided community, or set of communities. You see this with the various subreddit wars.

Do you have an email I can chat with you more about this? Hit me up if you're interested.
Biofuel did also quite likely many of Darpas biological protection projects trickled down eventually.
The "reusability" argument is just as wrong... True reusability (without any changes) is not possible in most cases anyway, and furthermore I don't see a reason why surrounding some static object (which can only exist once in a program, like a sound module, a network module, etc) with braces and a "class" keyword would somehow increase this vague idea of reusability.

It's only a syntactic change. It's not changing what should actually happen. It's just making it less readable. How in the world can that be an improvement on any frontier?
I hate the war metaphor too. You'll never get rid of rats entirely. Controlling rat populations in cities is really about food sources. The number of rats is limited by the amount of continuous non seasonal food sources available. In this case it seems like the city needs better garbage cans.

Proper maintenance to keep rats out of housing helps with the nuisance aspect. Because rats are destructive.

One wonders, if you got rid of rats, what would take their place? No idea, might be worse. I think the current brown rats aren't actually a disease vector[1]. I've read speculation that the decline of the plague was due to brown rats displacing black rats in cities. Maybe brown rats are doing us a favor.

This is called the Monte Hall problem and the conclusion is correct.
Certainly if we abolished IP laws we would need to intentionally fund medical research rather than using the pseudo market based approach (mixed with government subsidy) that we have now. I should say I know little about our current process, but I do believe we could find a way.

Does anybody else think it would be cool to travel and connect with other coders? You'd get exposed to many programming ideas, and it would be a way to connect with other developers directly and socially, and your hosts could relate to you, being as they are fellow coders.
No need to even make an app, just make www.DCratsighting.com and have an upload button to upload the image with full EXIF.
Slide #3 is evergreen, seen that exact image in many talks and it's still just as relevant today as when I first saw it.
There's a few obvious use cases I can think of:

1. If you forget/lose your keys. If you still have your phone with you, then you can use that to unlock it, or if you set up a passcode ahead of time, you can use that too.

2. If you're having someone over and you're OK with them letting themselves in since it'd be inconvenient for you to meet them to let them in.

I've had both of these situations happen to me. Granted, the solution shouldn't cost $700, but a lock you can open with your phone and also email/text someone a time-limited passcode for is useful.
Thank you as I didn't know this. I guess I need to read the first book in the series. Should I read them in chronological or publication order? Perhaps I'll stick with publication order since I've already started that way.

I found this link: http://www.narniaweb.com/resources-links/in-what-order-shoul...

It reminds me of Haruhi Suzumiya https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haruhi_Suzumiya (also excellent series)
That was really interesting. Thanks for sharing!
By involution I meant that the author, is proposing a picture in which some people (congenitally or by nature) tell the exact opposite of the truth, aka lies, if you read the article closely. I was merely suggesting, that if someone was going to point the finger, the finger could be pointing back at them if you know what I mean.
Skinny doesn’t equal healthy and fit and most of the models you see on ads like this aren’t exactly healthy! Yeah, they watch their intake and work out a lot, but taking anabolic steroids/insulin/growth hormone/you name it and/or reducing your intake to something unmaintanable per day doesn’t exactly lead to a long life.

Also, many women have to work much harder than men to stay on the skinny side because they store fat easier. A 5’1” 110 lb woman with 18% body fat would need to eat 1500 cal/day to maintain that weight. That’s practically nothing! It’s harder still if you were raised in a family that encouraged overeating (several reasons behind this).

Then there’s the double standard that exists in many relationships where the woman needs to be “healthy and fit” at all times while the man can treat his body however he wants because practically nobody cares about an out-of-shape looking man.

I say look however you want and weigh however much you feel comfortable with. One life to live and all.
> "Personally, I like this feature because some of my friends are fiercely anti-Google and this still allows me to share photos with them seamlessly."

I am fiercely anti-Google and I wouldn't touch a Google link for any reason, even if a friend sent it. If it's so important you need me to see it right away, send it via Telegram or MMS.

That said, I don't think this is malicious on Google's part, it's just lazy. Allowing sharing of private content is difficult to get right, but if Dropbox can do it I know Google can. Hell, they are smart enough to do it better, which is why this screams laziness or just a plain "we don't care" attitude.
Of course, I would use a global whenever appropriate. But I would try and limit the number of entry points to that global (for instance by limiting its scope, or putting a big fat comment about how we're supposed to use it), so I don't end up making implicit data dependencies spaghetti.
The main efficiency boost is using a helicopter style rotor over a quadrocopter - the larger propeller means greater efficiency.

Obviously a great deal of time is spent on weight reduction. And finally the max range is one direction, until the battery is completely dead. When you have military funding there's no need for a return trip... and to think each of these could send a kid to college.
The problem is that, in my observation over a number of codebases with many developers: A lot of unit tests end up testing the implementation. When you go to refactor, these tests break which slows you down. To me it seems nearly impossible not to end up with these kinds of net negative tests when you follow a micro approach. I mean the approach outlined in books and blogs where you write a test and then write only a few lines of code. It's all very neat and satisfying but for me it's just a form of fooling myself. I can see this if I honestly measure the net effect of the these kinds of tests in the large. The only thing is that they might sometimes help me locate a problem a few seconds faster, but that's all.
Yes, I think VRchat is becoming one of those, with very high emphasis on the weird. Do you know the way, my bruddas?
That might be why there are 2 different words for those 2 things.
That’s an interesting definition of love. May I ask if you have kids?

For me, love is multi-faceted and can’t be defined as a single attribute like trust. People love food that literally kills them. You don’t always get to choose whom or what you love.
Wow you made a digital door lock, it doesn't need all this purple prose. It's debatable whether what you made is superior to a 97 cent key from Walmart. You would think you landed on the moon!
Kickstarter is probably the most predatory business model we came up with yet.

There are changes that can be made to copyright without abolishing it; mainly restricting corporate ownership and reducing the periods to prevent rent seeking, other alterations can also be made to provide additional freedom for derivative works.

But abolishing copyright outright sorry won’t work and anyone who suggested it never has likely never worked in a creative field.

there's a ton of focus on the price, but they could have easily priced it at $499 or $399 and ended up in the same situation. the acquisition was going forward even at that product price. It clearly wasn't the price that was the issue. They were pre-revenue and the acqusition fell through - that's a very vulnerable spot for a start up.

Why not bootstrap it if the product is ready? Sell 100 of locks and boom you have some money to produce and sell another 200. Rinse and repeat.

There’s a difference between original designers and “cloners” in quality and attention to detail.

The Toyota clone wouldn’t be as good as the real thing and so there would still be a market for first party goods. But that market would be smaller as many people would be satisfied with a clone. And isn’t that more “efficient”? People satisfied with the cheaper good get the cheaper good and people who want the quality go for the original.

In today’s market, when someone who would be satisfied with a clone ends up buying an original, we see that extra money is spent only because Toyota is holding a monopoly on the design information. Except only creating the value should be rewarded, not monopolizing it.

We can see today how Joseph Prusa with Prusa research designed the worlds most popular 3D printer, yet many of the users are using clones. There is a market sufficiently interested in quality to support his 30 person (I believe) business despite his product being totally open source and actively cloned by huge companies.

It is possible to deliver value as an innovator and creator by selling the best stuff. Even at 3x the price of clones Prusa continues to grow.

So I don’t believe that there wouldn’t be car makers - though perhaps there’d be no “Toyota”.
It could be illegal for them to use that. Perhaps the party does the redistricting which an assembly member introduces into the legislature. To use the database, it would either need to be publicly available or else the executive would have to do the gerrymander. (Which might be how it works. But I live in a place where good government is valued.)

Well usually when building these kind of tax structures, governments think on how much "revenue" they want to generate, and who to tax to get it. If lowering the taxes for one guy, another guy gets to pay more in taxes.
I have a keyless, non-IoT deadbolt (number pad with access code). It's hugely more convenient and more pleasant to use than traditional keys. One of those things that you don't really realize until you have one. I never worry about having house keys. I can pop in and out of the house on short jaunts with much less friction. I can give people access to my home without coordinating handing over keys. I don't have to go through the clumsy and annoying process of getting keys out, sticking them in the lock, turning them, turning them back, taking them out, and putting them back in my pocket just to walk through a door. It seems trivial but it really does noticeably improve quality of life.

The described situation in no way describes a negotiation with a terrorist. He gleaned some information entirely on his own without violating any rules, hurting anyone, or threatening anyone. Its entirely reasonable for him to negotiate for some minor benefits in exchange for the information that he legitimately discovered. He wasn't extorting the jail, or threatening to escape if he was rejected. He offered to negotiate in good faith and they failed to reciprocate.

Thank you for bringing this to my attention. I've just gone and deleted a couple very private albums myself.
the focus on price is misleading. they could have priced their product at $399 and still be in the same situation. they were in a financing window - so they needed the cash - and it became an acquisition. They had no hedge just in case. Lots of lessons to be learned and the CEO clearly sparked a conversation.
Well, there are many kinds of regulation, as not all things are alike.
The PD will just pass the buck to the caller and nothing will change. It's what they always do.
Try the same problem with 100 doors instead of 3. You pick a door, the host closes all other doors except one. Then ask yourself would you really stay on the door you originally picked?
I'm going to disagree with you here. In chess the problem is not about reducing the tree size: you can get a "tree" by picking random moves. The problem is about reducing the tree size intelligently.

My chess program - Dorpsgek - has an 800 byte board structure (though I recently reduced that to about 400). It uses techniques that the computer chess community considered to be impractical. But still it works, and it works because the space that I use per board contains very useful information, such as attacks to a given square.

The advantage that bitboards give are not space by any meaningful quantity - for an alpha-beta search of depth d with a branching factor of b you will allocate at most d boards - or even 1 board - at any given node, not b^d boards. The advantages that bitboards give are speed and information density.

And to anybody who thinks that a bitboard approach is not sufficiently generic for different board sizes, wrap the bitboard using an arbitrary size bit set and the problem is essentially solved.
are there non-theoretical interpretations?

(And another also - the original Grand Theft Auto had a CD audio track that represented the ambient police audio; that's what played when you were in a police car, ambulance or fire truck. There's also a City Ambient for when you're walking around. ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=87Ls5ImYEXA )
you could set it up so your old llc owns 75 percent of the new llc. that way he doesn't own any of your other projects.

But, before your go through all the work, what is he going to do for his 25%? how are all the monthly expense getting paid. hosting? email? etc.

let's say you and your partner put in 1000 hours at $35/hr that's 35k worth of development is he putting $12.5k worth of value in?
Maybe even more fun is to build one yourself. They are a great introduction to CNC hardware without some of the added mechanical complexity involved with something like a router or mill. The parts are fairly cheap because they don't have to be super rigid and the steppers don't need a lot of torque, plus there is quality open source software to run them on cheap microcontrollers (grbl on Arduino + a cheap motor shield from China). There's tons of videos on YouTube of how to build one from scrap DVD drives for instance, e.g. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0PmR_1dx77s
It's easier if you look at it with 100 doors instead of 3 (and the host opens 98 doors after you pick). It's then easy to see why you should switch: there's only a 1% chance that the door you picked was right, so you should probably go with the other one.
How much of that work is seasonal, though? Barring some fancy hydroponics, you can't be picking fruit in the same town for 50 weeks a year.

Given that people can't just stop eating or renting during the off-season (and may not be willing to go out-of-state) perhaps the issue is that there's not enough gap-filling local work to make for a year-round career.

One should always avoid unnecessary dependencies. But I don't use special syntax or complicated scope rules to achieve that. This only makes the code more complex.

No -- I just don't depend. I don't reference the global where it's not needed. Simple :-)
Cops are laughably trained. A fresh boot from any service has more resolve than beat cops. I used to think SWAT was different but the last few years proves otherwise.

As a son of a cop and former service member myself, the whole thing makes me sick. And the COMPLETE lack of repercussions makes me furious. God forbid some idiot doesn't get his "gold watch." The thin blue line will rally around that idiot to protect him.
"alt left" isn't a thing.
Just as an interesting anecdote about laws regarding listening to police radio. In New Zealand, it's not illegal to listen to police radio (although a lot of it is not digital and encrypted), however, it is illegal to act on information gained from listening to it. I don't know exactly how this works in regards to journalists using police scanners, but I've never heard of anyone getting prosecuted for that sort of thing.
this will probably cause me to cancel my netflix subscription.
I have the sinking feeling that your first paragraph is probably what the original author had in mind all along… He advocated for a representation of the entire board, and that's apparently what you would do as well.

I originally though you were advocating for a representation of each piece on the board, were "messages" were "sent" to individual pieces, not the entire board. I was curious about how you'd map that interface to a compact representation.
YouTube should work with the add-on I linked installed.

That's actually not a bad idea. Only problem is that one rat's going to get birth control drugs and get his fill of trash. All of the other rats don't need to chew through the can after the first one's made the hole for them.
You’ll certainly find people using garages for cars in places where you get snow and ice, and the temperature at night is below freezing.

Living in northern Wisconsin, for example, if you don’t park in a heated garage, snow and ice might not melt off your car for the entire winter. Parking in a garage means you won't have to scrape snow and ice off for 10 minutes standing in subzero weather. Parking outside, one also might need to plug the vehicle into an engine block heater on particularly chilly nights or risk the vehicle not starting in the morning.

At this point articles like this are stale. They don't convince anyone not already convinced, and are really just echo chambers. The thing is, making posts and articles isn't going to change a damn thing, there's such a disconnect between the people in power and your average person that it's hard to see how any real change will come about from writing, airing your criticisms and petitioning. Especially since 21st century activism seems to be more focused on retweets than praxis, which ultimately means that unless people take to the streets and force change, all that's ever going to happen is more articles and more silence from the top.

Do something if you believe in change.
Wow. 50k for a one way trip. It's good that our tax money is being spent wisely.
What Telegram Owes Iranians
It is 1/2 if the host just randomly opens one of the doors, irrespective of the things behind them.

It is 2/3 if the host always opens one of the remaining doors with a lemon.

It is 0 if the host only opens a door with a lemon if he can't choose a door with a car.
Weird. I never thought of that. I was thinking Otto Cycle.
Intuitively, this sort of makes sense to me but I can't help but think: aren't odds independent for each door? Isn't opening a new door like rolling the dice again every time?

The wikipedia article mentions this:

"the host's deliberate action adds value to the door he did not choose to eliminate, but not to the one chosen by the contestant originally"

I don't understand why it doesn't add value to both doors. Just because I picked it doesn't mean it's the wrong choice, does it?
>design feedback that integration or acceptance style tests won't give you.

That "feedback" is the pain you feel when you have to maintain one form of tight coupling (ordinary bad code) combined with another (micro-level unit tests).

Higher level tests won't cause you that 'guiding pain' because they aren't as tightly coupled to your implementation.

IMO you don't need to write tens of thousands of lines of unit test code to spot that you're building tight coupling in. It's something you can spot simply by knowing what to look for.

Moreover, if you make a design mistake or introduce tech debt lower down the stack, having a panoply of low level unit tests means that refactoring will break those tests even if you haven't introduced any bugs. IME that causes a dangerous cementing effect on bad code.

I think if you've got a module which is self contained, reusable and tightly scoped, it's worth surrounding with a lower level test. But, if you don't, you're doing more harm than good by surrounding a module with tests.
