You wouldn't be paying $6 for a 'craft' style cocktail anywhere in the US. A 'craft' cocktail usually has 4-10 ingredients and a garnish that compliments the flavor - usually through your orthonasal senses. It's not a vodka soda or a gin and tonic. It's a Fish House Punch or a Jungle Bird or a Champs Elysees or any number of amazing cocktails that exist in the world.
Booking's easy I agree, but in much of London it's getting them to turn up in the right damn place that's a persistent challenge.

I was open to trying them but I've got about a 40% failure rate for the cars (it was 50-50 for a while but has picked up a bit). Uber Eats works okay-ish, but you've got to text them every single time to remind them to read the delivery instructions (seems like a perfect task for automation!)

What I can't get over is how much they struggle despite access to good GPS data.
> a rational person may understand that 'ideogram' does not constitute an assertion

I'm sorry to see you were downvoted for presenting the other side even if you don't support these schemes.

But I have to ask, what constitutes "an assertion" after all? Written text is just one form of fixing and transmitting ideas; alphabets usually originate in actual ideograms with original meanings that were long lost and were reduced to a sound or syllable.

Transmitting an idea with a text-image combo is just as valid for a contract as any other medium as long as the meaning is clear and unambiguous. And there is no debate here that it's exactly the intention of the organizers to transmit the idea "you can win a car" - and in fact that's what most people understand, with a tiny exception of an educated and naturally suspicious minority. The only debate is if it's legal for the organizers to claim an ideogram that literally reads "Enter to win A CAR" does not imply the car is a prize.

I don't know how a judge would rule, but from a political preference - philosophical point of view I would strongly incline to deny them that right; we get a much nicer society with less scammers, without losing anything of substance.

Then that would be your IP which you'd be free to distribute. You won't receive the same letter again, but you may be breaking an NDA and the terms of which may apply.

You are not wrong. This completely breaks my brain. I really would love to hear the professor's explanation for this.
I agree. But there are some who think this is the correct thing to do. Without a common standard for ethics within our industry, nationalism and patriotism will win out in enough cases that things like this will continue to occur.

What is "you"? That's the question of consciousness. Sure, maybe you entire internal and sensory existence is a play that your mind is watching. It's well known that a robot can be built to measure your decisions before you are aware that you mean. That doesn't answer the core question: What is the "you" that is aware of (the rest of your brain's) decisions, that is observing your thought process?

> Do you have any data to support the notion that there is a net CO2 benefit to localizing agriculture? Considering how impacted agriculture is by locality, That seems vastly less efficient than large scale industrialized agriculture, and would be honestly quite surprising.

I pointed out that @jdietrich wasn't considering any of the many potential alternatives to wrapping produce in plastic, I didn't claim there's a net c02 benefit to local farms.

I don't think c02 emissions represent the sum total of "evironmental impact" as was implied multiple times above. c02 is important, but there are other important factors being ignored in this thread.

Implicit in your question is your assumption that large scale ag is more c02-efficient than local farming on the whole, which I would ask you to justify first. I don't know how to compare local farms to Conagra fairly, and I don't conduct c02 emissions research myself. But Conagra doesn't exist for efficiency, they exist to make money. Of course they value efficiency, but I would expect the scale of their operation adds more logistical problems to the food supply than it solves. They need to use far more transportation, refrigeration, processing and packaging than local food suppliers.

"Transportation of food accounts for about 11 percent of the GHG emissions from the food system."

"The energy used for refrigeration results in one of the main GHG effects from food production. Some products require constant refrigeration as soon as they leave the farm."

"Meat that is discarded in retail, industry and the home accounts for 20 percent of the total GHG emissions of meat production"

http://msue.anr.msu.edu/uploads/resources/pdfs/Local_Food_Sy...

What do you mean when you say local ag "seems vastly less efficient"? Why? What efficiencies are there that offset the extra transportation, refrigeration, processing, and storage costs that global ag companies have over local farms?

Perhaps implicit or assumed in your point of view is the idea of growing the same produce locally that one would buy in the store, without changing consumption patterns at all? Is that what you meant by "considering how impacted agriculture is by locality"? I'm imagining some change in purchasing behavior and I recognize that growing bananas & coffee isn't possible everywhere.

Printers. Oh $DEITY.

You boot your 80286 with 1MB RAM and a 20MB (RLL) HDD. This was my second PC and I'd forked out over £100 to get a 287 Maths Co-pro. so I could run a dodgy copy of AutoCAD. I had it all on this box: WordPerfect with the multi colour cardboard Fn key strip. Harvard Graphics and Super Calc and a flirtation with WordStar (I still prefer joe for a terminal editor). GW BASIC and some other games rounded out the collection.

Printing was a right laugh because each app, including your own, had its own printing system. Getting our Epsom RX80 working with all of the above was a major feat and my efforts with C (Borland? Can't remember) nearly drove me mad.

Paul Krugman is the classic example of how achieving awesomeness in one narrow field does not make you automatically even average in other fields. Those who actually study economics including those I known to have worked with Bhagvati often told me that Krugman was nothing short of genius in his field. But when you look at Krugman writing op-eds you realise that he is what Taleb would call "Intellectual Yet Idiot". Something that HN itself has in plenty.

In general there are people who think they are smart and lament that only if they had the power to fix things properly they would help the brainless masses. Krugman is not the only one though representative of that class.

Pure speculation, and almost certainly false. If you hadn't evolved the pleasurable feeling of eating an apple, or any other food, you would have died and your inability to feel would have gone with it. Feelings provide drive and motivation, they are functional.

It depends on the type of vector operation(s) you are doing and the machine you are on. For one off vector operations it is never worth it to make a transfer to the gpu.

If you are going to have a lot of temporary vectors as part of a larger algorithm, it is usually beneficial to copy the inputs once, do all the computations on the gpu, and copy them back.

>You're constraining the concept of math in a way that nobody really does

Really? I'd say that everybody, and every textbook I've ever seen uses the same definition.

The one additional distinction people disagree on is whether math is just the theorems, proofs, etc we've already described, or if math can be thought of as encompassing all possible maths (the latter being the so-called platonic view of math).

Considering dice results and their randomness (or lack thereof) as math (as opposed to something that we can use math to calculate the probabilities of) or considering the "entire universe" as math is not really a common interpretation.

I'd say that it's your view instead that few have in mind when speaking about math. People do say that mathematical principle underline physical laws and goings on inside the universe, but not that the universe is math itself.

Streaming matches through unofficial channels is a huge, huge thing. Near everybody does it and there is a big streaming links community with specialized software. The top Reddit community has a quarter of a million subscribers, and from anecdotal evidence a large number of non registered people visit to get the links.

Surely this is DRM free? I get that the EFF wants to make a point about DRM (and a good one at that) but the sheer quantity and accessibility (+ if you're lucky, quality) of these streams means that in reality these fans are not left in the cold.

>I like how you brought up all of those examples for means of discovery. However, I think that almost all of those are a form of advertising

If we stretch the notion of advertising to mean "anything that can bring something to one's attention", then yes.

In that case I'm making explicit that by "advertising" in my first comment I referred not to these things, but to what's colloquially referred to as "advertising" -- namely paid tv ads, paid banners, sponsored posts on Facebook, and so on.

Not user forums, not legitimate reviews etc.

>If any of these are on the internet, then people there will be pixel trackers, and people are going to measure the distinct number of impressions. I don't think this is a bad thing

Well, I don't think "measuring the distinct number of impressions" in those kind of websites is a bad thing either.

What I said I consider bad is advertisements, that is getting money from a business for pitching THEIR message (as opposed to objective facts or a reviewer's/user's subjective review), selling your users' private info to them or using it to target them with ads, etc.

Let's imagine for a moment that it was made illegal for a content producer or social website etc to take money, in any kind of form, directly or indirectly, from any product maker, or anyone selling something (that is, no selling ads themselves, and no being paid to show ads).

What would remain on the web to discover products would be all the above I've described.

Well, this depends entirely on your ethics.

According to the article, the system previously involved intensive, bureaucratic questioning of undocumented immigrants after which the system would come to some kind of decision.

Since we're dealing with apprehended, undocumented immigrants, I would have no problem whatsoever changing the software to recommend detention. It certainly seems better than a semi-arbitrary decision no human can explain.

The whole idea of letting them go and setting a court date seems preposterous, a waste of everyone's time and resources, and they aren't incentivized to go - if they're willing to enter the country illegally, why would they not be willing to miss a court date? It's just a circus, for show. The whole system is broken - why detain these people at all? They should be deported, not jailed and given a show trial.

You may disagree, and that's fair. I would argue that nations have borders and nobody had a problem with this for centuries. You might argue the world is changing, open borders are the only just and fair thing due to human welfare concerns. But there is a reasonable debate to be had and it seems really glib to dismiss the engineers who did this as people who should be on a nuremberg trial.

Just to somewhat gently push back on this a little bit, math is probably not enough if you want someone to really get how quantum mechanics work at a fundamental level.

So quantum superposition isn't just two things at the same time, it's a complex equation that combines the two states. Great. Except that non-math majors don't think of linear equations as a singular 'thing' that describes a state. That in itself is a huge paradigm shift for people like me. I'm not used to having an axis in an equation not refer to a continuous range that I can move through.

There's a comic[0] on this springs to mind, that being able to plug equations into something is not the same as understanding it. Most tutorials or technical articles I read about quantum mechanics skip concepts and assume that showing the math is enough. In doing so, they skip all of the hard, useful parts of education and focus only on the language and terminology we can use to talk about something.

I spent a lot of time in physics, statistics, and calculus where I understood the math and not the concepts. I graphed things in 4 dimensions before I encountered Flatland, but I didn't understand the 4th dimension before Flatland. I worked with complex numbers all the time in calculus, but I didn't start to understand complex numbers until years later when I started watching Numberphile.

So I'm at least a little bit skeptical of claims that that quantum mechanics are different. We've had to build new paradigms to understand a lot of stuff in the past; concepts like infinity don't map to tangible analogies, but we can still build tutorials and scenarios that demonstrate interesting behaviors and properties.

Right now the only people I can find trying to do that for quantum are the pop-science writers, and like you said they're mostly all crap. It's kind of frustrating.
