There is a core issue with UI development that makes things harder and less elegant than the backend.

It's the io loop. Components must change state and react to state. This where the complexity arises. If you remove the loop by having components only react to state, you will find your programs to be simple, modular and more beautiful.

The feedback loop of IO destroys the functional and modular nature of UI. Functional programming simplifies programming through restriction, however ui development is inheritly an object oriented problem due to the IO loop, so the results of trying to make it functional will have limited benefites.

The way to make UI work is to find a way to have components react to state and change state in a simple way and without hard coding a refrence to external state in the component itself. Aka stateless.

Many people believe that passing a closure is the solution. The reality is passing a closure is awkward and a form of encapsulating state with methods that leads to the same issues of complexity that you get with oop. Keep data and functions seperate always, a closure is technically a functional concept, but it is also oop in disguise as it is instatiating state coupled with a functions just like an object in oop.

Global event emitters might be the best way. I'm not sure if redux does this. I'm not a UI guy so everything is just imho.
Welp. Pretty much as dumb as the Cleveland Balloon event[0]. I think it is funny as hell, but incredibly dumb, yes. "Cleveland, WE DID IT! YEEEAH".

Yeah I figured it happens because they only check if there is a WHOIS record. At first I thought they registered it automatically after I showed interest (like people claim GoDaddy does sometimes), but that's why I started investigating. Looks like domains.google is the "source of truth" since Google owns .app after all. I've previously thought that if a domain is not available, there would be a WHOIS record, but I guess that's not the case here.
Hmm, sounds bad, perhaps it's time to rethink having such a stratified socio-economic ladder?

This "study" has no value. I can certainly distinguish between the average $10 bottle and $50 bottle.

Actually the study does have a value: It induces people to think there are no differences between wines and keeps the prices for the good stuff lower. So please continue to post it.
In the UK, ringing 101 gets you through to your local police dept's non-emergency number, and 111 gets you to NHS 24, the national non-emergency medical advice service. Both of those are fairly recent, though - NHS 24 was launched in 2001, and 101 in 2009.
Yes, please absolutely do that, too.
I agree. There is no explanation why the neural nets work so well. There is just proof it works well for a handful specific games (Chess, Go, Shoggi). Beyond that it's just inference to the claim that neural nets work for all two-player, zero-sum, perfect information games.

However, with the framework they've built it's easy to verify the claim for new games (given sufficient computational power). Maybe that should have been the point made.
I haven't looked into this in quite some time, but as I recall, a new user can look at the available chains and determine which has the majority of stake behind it.

Is there a subtlety that makes that unworkable?

I think they're pretty obvious. Either you need good public transport (New York, London, etc.) or you need a lot of reasonably priced parking near the pedestrianised zone (Bristol, Ipswich, etc.)

There are some special cases - tourist / student towns, but I think the gist is that people need to be able to get there.
I was thinking that first thing... And no meaningful way to accurately archive it for private use or history unless Netflix openly and actively participates.

Btw: wasn't BluRay or some format supposed to define an interactive media metafile or virtual machine player format?

And I'm sure Netflix has a media mastering SDK of some sort like Roku and perhaps Hulu. Maybe someone with a jailbroken iPhone will crack open the Netlfix app and figure out how to extract the interactive player, if it's an HTML5 web-app.
>Ask the rural United States how building a bunch of highways through their towns to the local Walmart has gone for them.

Might be hard to get an answer given that most places didn’t build highways to Walmarts.

Either way, consumers tend to shop at their local Walmart regardless of the road to it. Consumers seem to consistently pick Walmart over overpriced local businesses nearly everywhere except for wealthy, dense cities where people can afford to avoid the unpleasantness of shopping the giant things with lower class people.

it depends what you count as Beijing, i used to ride bicycle sometimes from eastern Beijing to western part and it's easily 40-50 minutes in heavy traffic with numerous traffic lights, i don't think it would be even 30km across

actually using car in Beijing it's pretty stupid, why would you do it? it's flat as pancake, ideal for biking same as Bangkok, you don't even need car for grocery since you can have it delivered for free right to your door, even if you don't have elevator, more convenient and cheaper than shopping with car, subway station it's always pretty much less than 1km walk unless you live in Beijing suburbs

shame there is not done elevated LRT, since buses are useless and there are no trams/trains either so only solution to avoid traffic jams it's subway, elevated LRT could have more frequent stops in places subway can't reach or where it's not possible to upgrade capacity anymore

Not sure whether you made a mistake in conversion, but 100 sqm is actually a fairly decent living space here in a city like London (Tokyo).

My 90-odd sqm house has been plenty large enough to raise a family. Small garden, no driveway. But who needs car ownersip when there's three well-connected rail lines within a 7-minute walk?

"Be careful about pre-announcements because people will overrate the risk". It does not help their case when the pre-announcement is done through EFF that essentially says "GPG is broken". This is a horrendous strategy and only spreads false information. They did this. They are these "people" they are talking about.

They are still downplaying the partial disclosure with EFF. That is disappointing and complaining about GnuPG breaking the embargo, after the partial-disclosure, is nothing but a red herring. Further projects started talking about the details regardless as the EFF partial disclosure was horrendous.

I would like to see that couple pages of text that describe the Bitcoin consensus rules in such a detail that you could do a clean room implementation of a Bitcoin client.

Hint: They don't exist. That's because the specification of the consensus rules are in the reference implementation of Bitcoin and every other implementation has to implement the same behavior as the C++ client, including any possible programming mistakes.

So you only know if your re-implementation works "correctly" if you download and run it against an opaque binary from an untrusted(?) source.

Whatever you do, you need to anchor your trust somewhere. You should always be aware where you anchor it and what trade-offs there are.
Yes, that's the main contribution of the experiment / paper. But prior to AlphaZero the chess community did not even consider investing in MCTS engines -- alpha-beta pruning was thought to be far superior. I'm thinking that we might see classical engines exploring this concept more, and maybe it's even a natural step to go from alpha-beta pruning + iterative deepening to 'best-first' search with MCTS.
Also, another confusion of "anyone" vs. "everyone". The English language has those two distinct words, unlike my own native language, so English speakers should actually be at an advantage here. Any time someone comes up with an example that (in an idealized universe, but let's grant them the unrealistic assumption because it does not even affect the final result) would work for anyone, make a check if it works for everyone, meaning what would happen if everyone actually did just that.

I think such huge levels of new "entrepreneurs" just means you get something like "Uber jobs". All the risk of being on your own but none of the benefits of being part of a large organization. Even if every single new entrepreneur were to cure one kind of cancer - how many such people are needed before the ROI on a cure for a cancer form is down to pennies? Just to use an extreme example where every single person actually is a genius. Now imagine what happens when most people are ordinary. Not to mention that actual monetization of cures for forms of cancer can only be handled by - large companies! It seems to me to be quite clear, given the complexity of what needs to be done in today's world economy (vs. shoe makers or smiths or XYZ makers in centuries past who could happily work alone or with just family) that most people in the economy should be employed and part of large(r) organizations. If everybody is an individual (entrepreneur) this would not fit into how modern society works, solving complex tasks in a tight network of people.

To me it's like propagating a mostly bacteria world because multicellular organisms, where individuals give up most of their autonomy and prefer to be part of a big organization, are somehow "bad" (and cancer cells, breaking out of the organization to follow their own path, are somehow rebels fighting for freedom?). To me, people giving up many of their freedoms to work in a higher-level form of organization is something positive, and I think we actually need more of it. The problem is that, following the multicellular organism analogy, today's organisms (firms) are quite hostile towards their own cells (workers). Too narrow-minded. They could (allowed to) be that way - if the parent organization, the state, would jump in and provide the safety instead, on the (even) higher level. For the unbelievable wealth (in tools, knowledge, infrastructure, processes, networks) that at least part of humanity has accumulated and achieved I think we have waaayyyyy too much risk completely unnecessarily put on individuals, for no good reason. We could easily give everyone food and shelter and some basics. To me, much of that pressure on people is completely artificial. "Sure, we could feed you, but we won't because you are unworthy."
there is one more reasons why electric cars are popular in Beijing or shanghai, good luck getting license plate for gasoline engine and license plate itself will cost almost as much as this car

if you would have to pay free thousands euros just for license plate and even to get it you would have to win lottery, most if the people would think twice about buying gasoline engine cars
I'm not sure whether public WHOIS records cover all TLDs or not. Perhaps the newer ones like .app are not available? In any case, running whois on drive.app in the terminal tells me "domain not found".
Well, one objective part I can see in these complaints, is that it seems to be hard to assemble a sufficiently big team of sufficiently qualified C++ developers, for what the project requires. C++ skills are scarce and expensive. This seems to be confirmed by my own experience in my waters.

And then people proceed to put all blame on the language alone, and this does not match the reality anymore. Again, in my waters.
One concern I'd have is that if everybody has to save in order to be making even slightly rational choices, that's economic doom. You're supposed to be able to spend.

I'm 50 and my own boss, and certainly will never be able to retire. I think I'm doing damn well to not be broke and homeless after more than a decade of entrepreneur-ing in the US. One of the things I do to survive is make sure to provide stuff for free-riders like you, but if everybody was determinedly refusing to spend I'd be really boned. SOMEONE has to spend money on goods and services and stuff.

That process absorbs CO2 from the atmosphere at low concentrations (400 ppm) onto stones coated with X-material. Later the stones are heated (using more fuel) to release CO2 at much higher concentrations (more than 75%). Then what? It is a gas. You need to bury the carbon. They suggest feeding it to greenhouses, to grow food, which re-releases it later.
What I miss from this article is what he does know. Not to boats, but to contrast. I know some of the things he does not know, and I'm sure he knows things I don't know. But without knowing what his expertise is, it's easy to think you know more than him.
It keeps amazing me too. A state (or any other local government) shouldn't be allowed to subsidize individual businesses, nor whole industries. Allowing it just means businesses can play states out against each other and it becomes a race to the bottom. The EU solved it. The US could too.

Sometimes in the discussion about this I get counterarguments about how it’s a “win win” (company gets subsidy, area gets jobs) or how it’s a net gain for the area (without the subsidy you get nothing, and with the tax break you get the jobs so at least it’s something).

it is true that bitcoin has a reference specification, but only a small subset of that code is actual consensus code, but the rest of your message is just bs.

knowing consensus rules is the easy bit - code is open source, there are multiple implementations, there is community, there are users, merchants, exchanges - they all agree what consensus rules are. but what's most important - I CAN VALIDATE FULL BITCOIN BLOCKCHAIN IN REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME AND VERIFY THAT I FOLLOW THE CORRECT CHAIN.

I see a lot of support for your position out there, but it's hard for me to be thrilled about it at 50. I do like that you intend to keep doing economic activity, as you're a potential customer so you could be keeping ME alive for a while. But I'd like to think your choice here doesn't simply doom you later.
I wonder if there would be a way to get a better resolution, either by some sort of lens or custom sensor, or by using some clever software interpolation.
Fact that without off chain transactions, it's not ready for any more transaction volume and Lightning is still very much alpha at this point.

> The difference is not one of loudness but of 'energy'

Aren't those the same? Put more joules into the speaker wire and more joules of sound pressure waves will come out of the speaker cone, which just means the sound will be louder (until you reach the mechanical limits of the speaker, of course, but no DAC in the world could possibly change those).
How do you know you got the right source code?

If you have multiple implementations that disagree how do you decide which one is the right one if there are also 2 competing blockchains available?

You said "You only need to know consensus rules. You can use any software, you can build it yourself, you can order an audit, you can write software yourself." and that's plain wrong.

You need to ensure you got the right consensus rules. This is not as easy as you put it.

Spending less on housing has tremendous value for the people who benefit from it, including the ability to pay for better medical treatment, and lead an overall happier life. It's unclear what evidence you have that the net effect would be an increase in the overall number of deaths, or - more importantly - human suffering.

Other than that I do not really understand your "astonishment": you've artificially constructed a personal axiom that has never applied to human society - namely that people should care equally about every casualty, regardless of circumstances or causes, or the impact of those causes on society as a whole - and are then surprised that others don't follow this model.

> Also, there are cheap analog to digital converters which use voltage comparison, which basically linearly "search" for the voltage they should be encoding.

Integration type ADCs are not necessarily cheap. And you always put a sample-and-hold circuit in front of integration type ADCs, which completely eliminates the sampling time variance.

Also many people are unaware that the Nyquist theorem states, that the _average_ sampling frequency must be at least twice the highest signal frequency. The sampling points may indeed jitter around a little bit, as long as the jitter is distributed evenly. As a matter of fact, adding a little bit of sample jitter can be used as a poor man's dithering, to shift the LSB noise spectrum above the reconstruction filter cutoff frequency.

Jitter is mostly a problem with sample clock distribution. Too much jitter and the sample clock no longer arrives with the right delay with respect to the data, which may create large transients, e.g. whenever the numeric value rolls over some power of 2 (a lot of bits change); this problem could be avoided using Gray codes, though.

Oh, and then there's Sigma-Delta Modulation.

that's a pretty stable thing you're describing. and lightning is actually in beta now and has grown quite a bit.

the only stable thing about future is heat death of the universe. and even that is possibly up for debate.

VALIDATE THE FUCKING BLOCKCHAIN

what is so hard to grasp about this?
The better approach is to do only dynamic linking with dependency isolation (side-by-side multiple versions/configurations of a library that don't conflict with itself. no more RPM upgrade dependency hell.), package managed as idempotent transactions (preferably pre and post snapshotted with something like zfs or btrfs), garbage collected (dependency tracked) library packages like how habitat or nix does it: every unique, no duplicates library installed in its own unique directory. This means no duplicates, no missing dependencies, no breaking dependencies, no duplication of static and dynamic code hacky toolchain kludges. It works with existing systems instead of redoing things, adding more complexity instead of making it more organized.

tl;dr: Habitat (hab) is really neat. From the opscode folks.
This is academia, so being specific about exact claims is absolutely welcome. I would expect the problem to split between two types of games that you mention:

- asymmetric games, like hnefatafl, that probably can be covered — considering that AlphaZero can handle a late-stage situation with asymmetric options;

- what I understand to be stochastic games, of dice-based games, like the Royal Game of Ur, Mancala and backgrammon. I would expect that you have to re-define success by representing risk profile in the strategy; that could introduce complexity that the network can’t handle.
