hey! thanks for posting this :) do you guys take new grads by chance?
All of them from people running their exit from home, which has always been warned against.
Exactly. Seems to me it would be more plausible for a candidate without deep pockets backing them to be able to run a competitive campaign on issues the district cares about. Simply because they could just go around knocking on doors. A candidate and nine helpers each talking to 100 people a week for ten weeks could theoretically cover the entire district. Not to mention being able reach a good chunk of them by just hanging out at a local grocery store or visiting local bars and other hotspots. Throwing money at a hotspot race would have rapidly diminishing returns compared to a race with several hundred thousand people who can only be reached in numbers by broadcast ads or a truly massive campaign force.

EDIT: Although I suppose the tactic could at that point be turned to buying voters more directly. Spend a ton of money on something that benefits everyone in the district and make it clear that it'll keep coming only if they vote for your candidate, and you might have the same effect.

You say "difficulty", the evidence seems to suggest impossibility. I am 100% certain that if you have an actual plan for how to do this without an extra round trip the TLS WG wants to hear about it (but please read the draft with the problem statement first so that you don't embarrass yourself and propose something that doesn't actually solve the problem)

In order to be sure we're talking to Bob, so that it's OK if Bob knows we want his Fight Club certificate, I think we have to incur an extra round trip while we obtain the proof he's Bob and send back the request for Fight Club.

If we try to skip that step, Mallory simply interposes, we send our message to Mallory, believing she is Bob, and she reads it to determine we want Fight Club, we are undone. So we have to wait until Bob proves his identity, and only then reveal that we wanted Fight Club.

It's a little more subtle than that. He's saying that if you have an existing portfolio and you're worried about a market correction you should start selling off your expensive assets that have already appreciated and buy ones that are currently cheap. Obvious? Probably. But still something most people don't do.
There are scroll-other-window and scroll-other-window-down which are usually bound to M-PgUp and M-PgDown. You can use these to scroll the other window (perhaps another buffer) while the cursor stays in the current one at the same position.
world4ch had its own culture, but the lack of the Temporary Solution™ made it mostly noise and very very slow outside of spam.

/prog/ was sometimes fun, but I could never really spend much time there before getting bored. There's only so many times you can see SICP snake and fizzbuzz haskell before getting tired of it.

I'm sad the text boards are gone, but looking back after they went read-only I couldn't find much I actually wanted to read again, and I can't really blame moot for not wanting to deal with a slow spam-filled relic any longer.
Sorry I'm trying to enjoy my vacation in the city that you're the sole owner and arbiter of. Next time I spend thousands of dollars to visit, I'll make sure not to enjoy anything or look at anything in case it accidentally inconveniences you. I understand you're a very important person with very important things to do.
Sorry, I had it from my local library and it's now returned. I'm specifically thinking of the stories about Theranos work culture if anyone else would like to chime in.
Basically an adult version of a coaster bike?

I guess it simplifies the design by not having the pedals, chain, gears, etc...; but you have the tradeoff of not getting that 100W of input from the rider to extend the battery range.
> but it seemed the IBM PC was pretty clearly going to be a big deal,

Maybe. But then we still had machines like the Amstrad PCW.

> Early models used 3-inch floppy disks, while those sold from 1991 onwards used 3½-inch floppies, which became the industry standard around the time the PCW series was launched. [...]

> All models except the last included the Locoscript word processing program, the CP/M Plus operating system, Mallard BASIC and the LOGO programming language at no extra cost.

At least for personal use, OpenNIC is nice and many of the servers say they do not keep logs. I use the 185.121.177.177 (2a05:dfc7:5::53) anycast server and it works well. They are more likely to disappear randomly than the ones run by large companies.

How did it end? Did they run out of cubes, player cards, or have 8 outbreaks?
Last reply; the sun's up and work starts soon. I'm leaving breadcrumbs.

On RSA: You're right, but this is only the tip of the iceberg. There's a concept, "Impagliazzo's five worlds," which explains in fine detail how the various P!=NP and P=NP scenarios impact cryptography. Basically, whether P equals NP could be an easier question than another open question, whether one-way functions even exist. There are cryptographic practical implications.

On multiplication: You are correct that DTIME(n) ≤ DTIME(n^2). However, P = DTIME(n) + DTIME(n^2) + DTIME(n^3) + …

If you would like to consider that only some small sections of P are tractable, then that's an understandable stance to take. There is, as I've mentioned before, an entire subfield of computer science dedicated to trying to move matrix multiplication from DTIME(n^3) to DTIME(n^2).

On approximation: Integer programming is simply harder than approximation. That's all. The fact that the approximations are tractable doesn't slake our thirst for the precise answers. Moreover, we don't know how BPP and NP relate yet, so it could be that there are ways to solve problems exactly in NP by randomized algorithms. We've found a few hints at this already, but derandomization is a hard process. (We don't even know if BPP=P, although P≤BPP and BPP is self-low. The holy grail of derandomization would be to derandomize BPP to P.)

Finally, I really encourage you to take a bit of time to read the Aaronson paper I previously linked, because it explains all this in much more detail. You are free to continue to think that the problem is not interesting, but I encourage you to at least get a sense of why it is hard.
Actually, when stuck, I start a completly different and new project. This is why I have 30 of them remaining to complete ;) Good luck dev brothers.
I like it. This 'jumping in front of cabs' thing is huge in Russia and it'd be cool if AI could prevent that here.
Front-end Developer

Location: Vancouver, Canada

Remote: Yes

Willing to relocate: Yes

Technologies: Javascript (React.js, React Native, jQuery, Backbone.js, Angular.js), HTML/CSS, LESS/SASS, Git/SVN, Yarn/Bower, Gulp/Grunt, Jest/Enzyme/Selenium, RESTful APIs

Focus on building web/mobile applications, with experience on both the front and back-end. More recently focusing on front-end work, namely working with React; having users happy to interact with something I've built is what keeps me motivated.

I've worked in a bunch of industries and led a bunch of fairly successful teams including: leading a team to build a major government satellite project (RADARSAT Constellation Mission), further developing an asset management system and other tools for the movie industry, attempting to build a real estate/housing application more successful than my first from a couple years back, and more.

Looking for a great team focused on building a product (or products) users love, with minimal red tape. A team that works well with each other with little in the way of workplace politics, is passionate about what they're building, alongside management and PMs that do their best to help the team and product succeed.

This is not a random person but a service company which has reverse engineered 4 Teslas for german car manufacturers.

Among others these car engineers spotted that the new battery cells use nearly less then a third of cobalt (2,8% vs 8%) of ordinary cells what no other company has achieved. This should be a quite competitive advantage
Can you show me an example? Most of the examples I've seen are cases where people are using the word "literally" in a hyperbolic sense, which I would argue is perfectly legitimate.

For example, suppose somebody says "I'm so hungry, I could literally eat an elephant." It's obvious that they're being hyperbolic because of course nobody eats elephants. Adding literally just adds to the hyperbole because it makes the sentence that much more ridiculous.

It's a figure of speech and perfectly legitimate, IMHO.
It's a little bit cultish.
Arrow's Theorem only considers single-winner systems. But most politics is done by the Parliament, not the President.

There is no need to use small, single-winner voting districts to choose the members of the Parliament. Make voting districts 5-10 times larger and use proportional voting. Arrow's Theorem is not valid for that kind of systems.

The problem is that Google wants to give the military better weapons to kill people, knowing full well that they're intended to be better at killing people, and they're using the data we voluntarily gave them under the illusion that they wouldn't do evil things with it.

Evil things like making better weapons for people who kill innocent civilians.
While I appreciate that the statistics over the value of bicycle helmets aren't always conclusive, "29km/h on a bike without a helmet is absolutely safe over here" seems like a difficult and sweeping statement to substantiate?

Are the pavements in Holland more forgiving when someone's head hits them at ~8 m/s?

"Never have I heard of a friend or family member falling from their bike with any injury on the head; A broken arm at worst."

Well, I see your anecdote and I raise you with my own: I once fell of my bike at probably around 30km/h, breaking my collarbone. Additionally my helmeted head hit the raised pavement stone hard enough to leave a big dent in my helmet. I'm very glad that it didn't have the opportunity to leave the same dent in my head.
I’ve driven high-and-low all kinds of vehicles, big to small fast slow etc. I will say by far one of the most fun driving experiences you can have is a small <50cc moped in the city.

Stuck in traffic? Get off and push it along the sidewalk. Park ANYWHERE. Swerve and weave. So much fun.
One advantage of the scooter: No chance of getting bike grease/road grime on your pant cuff.
If I understand your question you asking why it is wrong to use literally for emphasis? I guess that depends on whether you are a linguistic prescriptivist or not (I probably err towards that side, alas, a recipe for unhappiness!).

A linguistic prescriptivist might say it was wrong because people might say something they want to emphasise like 'my phone is literally blowing up' - but according to the traditional meaning of the word literally, that means it would be literally blowing up, like an actual explosion.

Once 'literally' just means 'emphasise this' then you have to go into further contortions if you actually want to express something that means something that is exactly as described, not figuratively.
I'd love to see some analysis of the comment section of articles like this. Would be interesting to quantify the #ProtectElon brigade a little bit.
Forgot to mention: I'm also looking for recruiters for my team :)
Regardless of whether Google works with the US military on this, or if another company works with the US military on this, or if NO outside company works with the US military on this, or even if the US military doesn't work on it at all, autonomous AI powered weapons are happening anyways. We can't put them back in the box. The prosperity that technology brings us comes with a cost. Weaponizing technology will always be a part of humanity.

The only question for someone in the US should be "would I rather the US (and its allies) develop these weapons, or China develop these weapons, or Russia develop these weapons?".
EcmaScript is a pretty bad name imo. "Ecma" sounds like it's halfway between eczema and acne and doesn't have any readily apparent meaning and "Script" is a totally meaningless suffix at this point.
Don't mistake my comment as a call for censorship. It's a call for civility and decency. we can have creativity, originality and free association without hate, bigotry, and racism. Your straw men have no power here.

The existing dockless bike sharing companies were approved under a provisional permit, which has sunset. The city is gathering data and deciding where they want to go from here:

https://www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news/transportation/sea...
I've had the opposite experience -- the rental bikes are heavy and slow, but they generally go in a straight line and are easy to pass.

Scooters tend to weave across the bike lane and need to be given a wide berth when passing (not sure if it's a balance issue, or the rider is trying to avoid hitting road imperfections with those tiny 4" wheels)
Meh I live in the Midwest, in an area that pretty much requires a car. Yet my use is extremely limited (a few thousand miles per year). Mostly going to stores and back as I work from home.

Yet we travel around the area to state parks, bike trails, etc.. every weekend. Even if I lived in a city, that doesn't mean I would want to be confined to the same 10 square miles my entire life. We live in a vast, beautiful country. Why isolate yourself to a tiny little block? Life is too short for that.
those are neat but are not really for me. i can kinda sorta get away with being on a scooter (not really), but i'd look downright silly on a skateboard. =)
https://www.businessmanagementdaily.com/1387/know-best-days-...

That random site happens to agree with my kind of thinking, so I copied that content in here:

"Fire on Mondays. This lets dismissed workers start looking for a job right away.

Make job offers on Thursdays. If candidates need time to think, you can give them one extra day. If you give them the whole weekend, they may find another offer.

Give good job reviews on Fridays. It sets the mood for a good weekend, which can be a reward in itself. It also prevents satisfied workers from "kicking back" for the rest of the week.

Give poor job reviews on Mondays. This provides employees time to work out improvements during the week, instead of stewing about them all weekend."
I think your perception of US as being anti-military is mostly wrong. The vast majority of Americans love their military. The US wouldn't have doubled its military budget in the past decade if most people didn't support it enthusiastically. They wouldn't stand and cheer members of the military at most sporting events, or invite them to board civilian airplanes before anyone else, including the rich or disabled.

Americans often offer multiple dissenting opinions because our Constitution invites us to think independently and speak critically. This is a product of our being a breakaway republic separated by revolution which then defined itself and its government just as monarchies became obsolete.

Dissent and debate is in our blood.
This is different from how Internet standards have always developed how, again?
Same in Ireland.

> the bell is pretty useful for alerting walkers ahead of you of your presence without having to yell.

Just to clarify, you're not supposed to ride these on sidewalks in most (all?) places (though mixed-use paths are probably ok)
Yeah, the stated reason is pretty much BS.

There's nothing stopping the government from saying "A party must have 5% of the vote to be awarded any PR/list seats" in order to keep the fringe parties from grabbing individual seats here and there. BC just released their suggestions for an October referendum on reforming provincial elections, and that was part of all three suggested systems.
Yes I’ve been doing this as well
I think it goes beyond that. "Well designed" temporary signage needs to look out-of-place and basically intentionally ugly.

Temporary signage that fits into the environment will appear permanent, and thereby ignored by the public.

This is why graphic designers use the terms like "effective" rather than aesthetic terminology to describe their work. Sometimes ugly designs are the most effective.

Definitely appreciate that you put design in quotes - we aren't really designed in the way that most people think about the word.

My understanding is more like things are tried until something sticks. Maybe internal testicles would have been optimal, but external ones were first and simply good enough to stick around.
