There's basically nothing you can do besides notify their abuse desk and probably get ignored, because abuse desks pay little attention to one-off complaints like that.

Any source on "VK simply advertised the messenger actively at launch"?

As far as I've heard VK and Telegram have never had a very cozy relationship, certainly never going as far as VK actively promoting Telegram.
> Would you rule it out entirely?

Yes, unless you have a secret way of ruling out the other much more likely factors (i.e what GP mentioned).

You could argue that those countries still use leaded gasoline because the political turmoil/violence within them makes folks prefer the cheaper, easier fuel to produce.

I don't know how Haskell does it, but, at present, Swift enums with payloads have caveats that simple Swift enums don't:

- they use this verbose syntax to access payloads "if case let .foo(bar) = baz { /* do something with bar */ }" The alternative being to do everything in a switch statement, and possibly create a local variable thanks to scope

- their payloads are not convertible to tuples, despite their cosmetic similarity

- they do not allow default values, despite their cosmetic similarity to swift function parameters (which do support default values)

- they aren't automatically Hashable and Equatable

- they aren't automatically included in the Enum's array of ".allCases"

The great thing about Swift is that all of these issues can be worked around using extensions. Unfortunately (the way I do things, anyways) that means a lot of the time in Swift, the Enum itself is maybe 5 lines long, while my extensions to work around the above limitations go on and on for another 30+ lines.

If Telegram did something illegal why should other Internet users suffer damages? Even the Russian law doesn't say that.

The blocking was not done according to the law. If the Government followed its own laws, there would be a lot of paperwork for every new blocked IP address and they would play cat-and-mouse game with Telegram spending a lot of resources while Telegram could cheaply create new proxies instead of blocked ones. Effectively you cannot block Telegram if you follow the law.

So the Government started blocking large networks (like, 256 000 IP addresses at once or even more) whenever it found a single Telegram proxy server there. This is obviously against the law but who cares.

If you think I am wrong please point to the article that allows blocking 20 millions random IP addresses.
Word embeddings work because they reflect co-occurrences. I don't know whether that counts as an explanation in terms of psychology, but humans tend to put related things together. In a newspaper the articles aren't jumbled together, but there are sections on different topics, and in each section the articles are clearly delineated instead of mixing their sentences and each sentence represents a single unit instead of giving partial information on a dozen unrelated things.

It might seem obvious that things should be done that way, but if you consider servers hosting lots of different websites on the same physical machine, or data structures spread out over several memory allocations held together by pointers, it's clear that there are other possibilities. So it does seem to be specific to the way humans use language.

And because human language has this property of co-occurrences corresponding to relatedness in meaning, you can represent the meaning of a word by building a model that only predicts the probability that two words occur together.

This is presumably because the chess master understands the position. I see three pawns, a king, a rook, and a knight. The chess master sees a castled king. I see 30 pieces all over the board. The master sees the Sicilian Dragon Harrington-Glek variation. I have no idea what happened next. I see eight candidate moves. The master sees three but knows that only one will make this particular opponent uncomfortable. With this level of understanding, it is way easier for the master to remember the game.
As a viewer, it's routine to see classical recordings on YouTube claimed as/attributed to/ categorized as the wrong thing. It doesn't help that differences in two different recordings of, say, the same piano piece can be so similar in some respects, so as to trip up automatic systems. "Widespread systematic failure" is probably the best way to describe the current state of affairs.

This issue needs special attention, and classical videos ought to be treated as a special case, IMHO.

Worth noting that the reverse is also possible, i.e. recordings being altered only slightly, being able to fool human listeners into hearing them as being different, see for instance the fraudulent recordings attributed to Joyce Hatto.
You are misleading people not familiar with Russian legislation. There is no law saying you can ban random IP addresses.
> But if you don't travel or have business abroad or whatever, what's the point of having the same hour everwhere ?

If you communicate with people abroad then you need to be able to agree times with them, even if you never physically meet up. (Apart from anything else, this can be a more human-friendly way to do 24-hour support: have people who live in different parts of the world work on your product and cover support at different times, even if they rarely meet in person).

> Besides, if you phone somebody on another country, you still have to figure out if 3am utc is ok. It's the same amount of work and as easy to memorise than an approximate time zone.

True, but at least you both agree on what time 3AM is, and if you e.g. reverse the sign of the offset then you'll notice this when arranging the call.

Read the book Black Box Thinking by Matthew Syed.

There's a couple of sad examples. One is some doctors who lose track of time while trying to intubate a patient. Another is an airline pilot losing track of the fuel level while trying to figure out whether the landing gear has come down. Both preventable issues where people's focus narrows so much they lose sight of the critical variables.
That's an interesting graph. What happened after 1990? Is the period after 1990 considered an outlier or is there another explanation?
That is an interesting result. A 20 mi long piece of electronics floating in the open ocean would have [:deadpan:] more prohibitory issues than drag. Even if it were more optimistically estimated, this has obvious maneuverability (not to mention production) problems. They build ships the way they do for smart reasons, but I do like to explore the possibility space.

The application that no one will ever pay for might be a permanent, autonomous, very large, plastic garbage consuming vessel in the Pacific Gyre.

Things have changed since then. It's the same data. Your means of recording it has just changed.
Doesn't this article itself kind of undercut the study by showing that the brain can be altered through behaviors? What I am asking is, is the amygdala larger in procrastinators causing them to procrastinate, or did it grow BECAUSE they procrastinated? A leads to B, or A & B go together.

As an aside, I'd love to procrastinate significantly. It doesn't make me happy anymore. I've read the books, read the articles, tried the Pomodoro Technique, nothing. I don't think I have ADHD, since I can concentrate fine, just never on what I am meant to be concentrating on.
It looks like the data is being pulled from Townhall, which has the same issue [1]. Wikipedia has seems to have the data [2], though the percentages are a little different (51.3% for Trump rather than 52.9%). Perhaps it is wrong because not all land in Alaska is part of a borough, Eg: Nome is listed separately, but it is just a census area.

Interesting that it seems to have the reverse trend -- Anchorage and Fairbanks went for Trump while much of the unorganized borough went to Clinton.

Bravo, now if it could become standard practice.
A) There is a lot of democratic control actually. More than employees execute I would say. In a 90k people organisation even the most powerful person has much less power than a majority of the other 89.999 people. The founders btw own less than 20%. Aaaand I also own shares. So I'm one of the guys who sets the policy for employees like me. I also go to the shareholder meeting which is held not far away from where I work. The most powerful owner is probably an investment bank. But they only care about the numbers. If "care package for employees of size $X" is spent on tennis courts or air conditioning in the office, or free ice cream after the canteen lunch, they simply don't care. So it's open for democratic processes to assign these budgets.

B) Why is democracy a prerequisit for socialism?

> When lead was removed from gasoline, lead levels in the environment fell, and kids avoided the lead exposure that caused these developmental problems. About 20 years later, when those kids became young adults, crime rates fell. This, proponents say, is what explains the mysterious and persistent decline in crime beginning in the early 1990s.

> It’s an intriguing idea — particularly since we don’t have a better explanation for the big changes in crime rates during this period.

Did not freakanomics come up with a famous (and to me more convincing) argument that it legalized abortion was the reason for the drop in crime? At they very least it dispels the arguments we don't have a better explanation and doesn't even mention it.

Obviously getting human support is a train-wreck and it goes without saying that needs to be fixed.
"It predicted that Tarrant county, with 904 people per km², would support Clinton, while Zavala County, with 3.6 people per km², would support Trump. In fact, the reverse was true."
Well, the most effective way to do it is just anesthetized annihilation of all humanity.

Probably we should flip the mental script and say that this definition of minimisation of suffering has effective altruism as a local minima, and painless and unconscious death as a global minima, because it eliminates all suffering immediately and thus would be the perfect solution.

Death is considered almost univocally bad, so perhaps this definition of doing good should also take some type of maximization of subjective happiness into account.

centrally planned economies do not work well, but the focus here lies on the word 'central', not 'planned'. All economies are planned to a significant degree, albeit in corporations (which internally do plan rather than rely on market mechanisms). The equivalent of cryptocurrencies in the economic sphere would be turning every company into an army of independent individual contractors whose only tool is the legal contract. This would lead to unmanageable complexity and overhead that would be unacceptable and very soon end in people naturally organizing in competent hierarchies, producing the dreaded institutions and middlemen that cryptocurrency tries to do away with.

Read for this very question Coase's essay, The Nature of the Firm.
Thanks for the link, that was fun to read (well, skim).

I don't think the term 'algorithmics' appears very often in publications, it's more of an umbrella term for many things. The stuff we work in our group is sort of the practical side of theoretical computer science, in that our focus is on algorithms that can be efficiently implemented and don't just look good on paper. The methodology is called Algorithm Engineering, it's described quite well in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Algorithm_engineering. Apart from ESA's track B, the major conferences there are Alenex and SEA (Symposium on Experimental Algorithms). All three are open access.

It's difficult to recommend anything in particular, not only because the scope is very broad, but also because most papers aren't written for a wide audience. Good writing is not something that academics optimize for (perversely, good writing can be seen as a negative point, in that if a paper is easy to understand, it may be rejected for being too simple), nor is it taught. Maybe something like https://github.com/papers-we-love/papers-we-love could serve as a starting point?
"quickselect" is a selection algorithm that uses a partial quicksort in order to do a select. You're essentially saying to write quicksort using quicksort.

Quickselect requires a pivot choosing strategy; the problem is not only the same as quicksort's, it is the problem from quicksort.

According to Wikipedia, in the worst case, it is O(n²).[1] But that's not strictly correct, IMO. Regardless, it doesn't answer the OP's question of "is there a selection algorithm that operates in worst case O(n)"

[1]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quickselect

`className` to `class` is a bad decision.

React is a very thin layer on top of JS. `className` is JS. Specifically, it comes directly from DOM APIs. Changing it to `class` (while retaining all other DOM API-compatible prop names) is a really terrible decision that relies on “the wisdom of the crowds”.
I've read Coase. The equivalent of cryptocurrencies in the economic sphere would be exactly what cryptocurrencies are: partially decentralized. Firms form due to the transaction costs of decentralization. Mining pools form due to the transaction costs of decentralization.

I think I need to swear off of involving myself in order of complexity conversations and just get back to doing useful work. "The difference between theory and practice is that in theory there is no difference." and as processors evolve that just becomes more and more true for complexity calculations.

It's still a useful and helpful mental exercise but what matters is if I can do an operation cheaper and more reliably than you can. Order of complexity informs that decision but doesn't define it.

Even a moderately sized C is proportional to log(n) for quite a lot of data sets most of us actually work with. Conversely, adding, subtracting or comparing two numbers of arbitrary precision (eg, bignum) takes log(n) time, not O(1) time. Very few algorithms we call < O(n) are implementable in less than O(n log n) as n -> ∞

Complexity analysis is step 2. Step 1 being admitting you have a bottleneck. But there are a lot of other steps after those, with a lot of challenging, specialized work.
