Every primitive recursive function is also µ-recursive: the primitive recursive functions are a subset of µ-recursive functions. But the converse is not true: there are µ-recursive functions that are not primitive recursive. The canonical example is the Ackermann function. It can be shown that it grows faster than all primitive recursive functions, and is thus in itself not primitive recursive.

Since the Ackermann function is obviously computable, and easily computable by a Turing machine, this implies that the primitive recursive functions are not Turing complete, and thus more limited than the µ-recursive functions.
Somehow I must have typed my thoughts unclearly in my response above, because I agree 100% with everything you say immediately above (19171197). Facebook can censor whatever they want (IMO, private decisions on what to publish are inherently themselves a form of speech) and therefore the government is barred from censoring Facebook's publishing rights on First Amendment grounds.

If you take my suggestion (in 19168078), you end up with: "The freedom of speech is specifically protection from government censorship. E.G., If you're publishing <a site called Facebook> the government can't come by and tell you what to say in it. <Facebook> can publish (or not publish) anything they want." (For clarity, I agree with this 100%.)

The original post to which you replied (with expressed disagreement) said "The thing about strong free speech laws is that it protects facebook and twitter's right to censor." I also agree with that post 100%. It's your interleaved post's (19167743) first sentence in response to that ("You have a poor understanding of free speech.") that I disagreed with, given that that poster appears to hold the same point of view that you do immediately above.

If I remember correctly, Altavista produced better results than Google back then, for me at least. However, Altavista took seconds to load the first page (on 56k) whereas Google's first page loaded almost immediately.

I honestly didn't expect Google to have survived the dot-com bust back then. This was before they figured out online adword auctions.

The biggest "threat" is our ignorance. We don't know how these major threats (climate change, insect decline, virulence) will aggregate in non-linear ways. I think that many people intuit that they will, and that there will be tipping points. But since the Earth is such a big system, all timeframes are stretched out beyond human perceptions of immediate threat (e.g. will it threaten me or my children). We don't know when the tipping points will arrive. We may have already tipped.
They chose to design in a five week wait for first payment for the poorest and least able to cope. Then sanction people at every possible turn and have a refusal and appeal apparently as a standard part of claiming sickness benefits[1]. How could food bank use not grow?

It's an appalling, vindictive, punitive system that's been designed to be exactly that.

> I'm sorry, why does there need to be a "negotiation" in the first place?

Because litigation is long, expensive, and uncertain.

> Facebook clearly broke its previous settlement with the FTC, and likely some privacy laws, too, both federal and state-level.

If that's all really clearly true, that's a lot of leverage in the goverment’s hands, especially if the relevant states join in the negotiation in cooperation with the feds.

> Wouldn't accepting any kind of compromise with Facebook mean Facebook won't really learn its lesson

A compromise could be “everything we could get in the courts, but without either side bearing the cost of litigation and Facebook gets on to dealing with the fallout today rather than facing uncertainty for years and then dealing with it”, if the government's case is strong enough to make Facebook accept that.

Some Lesser Known TypeScript Features
One of those "Google is the new AOL" moments hit me when I heard a commercial for Google on the radio recently. Specifically, it was someone explaining that they had a feature built especially for veterans to find jobs relevant to them, and that you could get to it by typing "jobs for veterans" into Google search.

It just sounded so much like the old AOL Keyword feature, which a lot of people forgot about, but was literally often advertised on TV or radio as how to get to a given site or web feature.

To me those criteria seem completely arbitrary, though I believe some philosophers have argued the exact opposite of what you're claiming, that is, that an intelligent species should be considered "successful" when it causes itself to disappear: see "antinatalism".
> It's truly a shame that so much money is poured into such utterly wasteful possessions

When the yachts are idle, which is the majority of the time, they are typically plugged into shore power and are thus just consuming electricity from the grid. The electrical systems of these things are typically far more efficient than your home because they must generate their own electricity when at sea.

As for the wasting of money, you'll note that most of the cost of building a yacht is labor because they are mostly one-off builds and can't take advantage of automation. The article mentions that they cost 10% of the purchase price per month in upkeep. The vast majority of those costs are labor.

These things are among the most efficient devices for transferring wealth from the rich to the middle class. I wouldn't discourage their use at all.
But then the rest of the world can agree it was evil.

Just like the world can mostly agree it was evil to arrange a civil war in Eastern Ukraine or invade Iraq etc etc:

There will always be people who more or less genuinely argue that the last invasion of Iraq was necessary or that a certain superpower next to Ukraine has nothing to do with the well supplied rebels in their back yard.

For the rest of us we can all agree to despise both of these.
Things like these are hard to judge, but a ban is a sign of intent and not a perfect solution to prevent a certain situation.

We collectively agree to ban certain things (e.g. murder), because there are multiple reasons to do so. Some of these reasons are humanitarian, some rational, some economic etc. Yet we see proof each day that neither laws nor punishment will stop murder from happening.

The idea of a ban is not to stop things — but to increase the (social, economical, ...) cost of certain behaviour.

Any actor who fears that cost will abstain from chemical weapons for example. But just like with murder you will always have actors that either decide it is a prize worth taking, or they never ever thought about it at all.

Hard to say how effective those bans were, but they certainly helped to nudge some actors into adopting higher standards.

And once there is a standard the majority agrees on it is hard to go back to a lower standard..

Surmise away, but the mayor has been strongly and publicly in favour of the deal, and critical of the people trying to kill the deal. (The guy who really killed it was state senator Michael Gianiaris.)

The problem was that the people who made the deal (de Blasio and Cuomo) didn't have the power, either de facto or de jure, to get it in place.

There’re definite similarities and heavy amounts of overlap with Nietzche’s dueling dualities (heh) of Good/Bad (Master Morality) and Good/Evil (Slave Morality), but this is at a much more primitive level – primates and pre-language humans, while N spent significant time on the Classical eras.

I was surprised to see neither Nietzsche nor, especially, Foucault name-checked in this article as the latter has written about similar ideas on the significance of capital punishment in Discipline and Punish.

> On ththe other hand why use such a broken system for something that is literally life and death?

What other synchronous mode of communication is more reliable than a phone call for this use case?
Maybe. But it's trivial, for your ADSL/DSL/Fiber shitty $30 router to intercept port 53/(udp|tcp) bind it to it's own local dnsmasq or whatever and then send DNS onward to DHCP DNS servers supplied by your ISP. When I say trivial I mean I've seen it happen on several setups, old me - we'll just change the DNS on this box to bust the cache here to 1.1.1.1(CF)/8.8.8.8(EvilG) but still end up a shitty ISP dns servers (and their poisoned cache regardless). There's a reason for the push for DNS over HTTPS.

You think you're guaranteed to be querying 8.8.8.8 with "nslookup hostname.tld 8.8.8.8"?
I've done it on and off for about 15 years. I've done some in the real estate world as well. My experience in a nutshell:

* You have to use server-side automation - which is unsupported, and probably even violates Microsoft's terms of use.

* It's tricky. I use a serialized message queue to generate documents.

* Microsoft was dang stupid to not support automation. Such lost opportunity. I doubt that Google's supporting automation is going to change Microsoft.

I don't think It is only extremest per se. I think the biggest threats to humanity is obvious humanity itself. And these people used to be very minority and doesn't course us any threats, or rather their damage are within controllable limits.

Chemical, and especially biological, weapons are an order of magnitude more difficult to manufacture correctly, (ie-without killing yourself), than autonomous drones. The thought that autonomous groups like ISIS would not use autonomous drone swarms because such a terrorist attack would "break international law" really is so far beyond "fanciful" that it ventures into "humorous" territory.

I think we can pretty much count on every group with a gripe reaching for autonomous drone swarms first in the future.
TimeWarner and Comcast have both done it toe. TWC did of to let me know of a TOS violation and Comcast uses it as part of their setup. If you don't allow them to hijack DNS and show you things that you have to click through, you may find yourself unable to route traffic at all until you call them. I've dealt with this with every move in CA (about a half dozen times) and my move to TX. Seems pretty likely to me.

I look at it as EC and S. It's a datastore keyed by Entity handles that lets look up Components. Data transformation is then driven by Systems. The behavior of a game is then driven by the tick order of the Systems.

From this view of the world it's fairly obvious that other structures need to reference entities through their handle. Or in the case of middleware with its own view of the world a translation layer keeps things synchronized.
>Trump called Ted Cruz a liar.

To be fair, was he wrong? How many career politicians do you know that aren't liars, especially Republicans?

>He implied that Ted Cruz's wife is ugly.

Again, to be fair, I just did a google search and he's not wrong, IMO. Yes, it's in poor taste to make remarks like that, but Trump is a populist, so he's basically playing the "I call it like I see it" card, which gets votes from his base.

>How far does the man have to go to lose credibility in your eyes?

The things you're complaining about are positives in the eyes of Trump voters. That seems to be the problem you're having with understanding. They don't want another regular politician; this is why populists come to power now and then. It seems to me that the biggest problem that both parties have, and is shown by your post here, is a completely inability to comprehend the appeal of someone like Trump to low-information, low-class voters.

I had a good experience with Altavista via the "NEAR" operator which was never fully implemented by Google (there is a wildcard "*" in Google added much later). With the NEAR operator you can find pages where terms are closer and narrow the results. Without NEAR terms can appear in discrete places of the page.
I am in my fifties. I have seen a dramatic enough change in my lifetime (lack of proper winters any more, massive loss of insects and wildlife, loss of diversity in the countryside and a terrifying[1] growth of consumerism and plastics) to think you will probably significantly reassess that relative normalcy. Or you might be lucky to live somewhere that will isolate you from most of it.

My kids, of course, grew up with all those huge losses and changes being their baseline normal on which all expectations are set. They think fields without diversity or wildlife and everything in plastic packaging is normal, unless they see some archive footage or history of primitive pre-internet times. They've barely seen snow, so don't expect to, etc.

[1] I grew up with slow consumerism 1.0 in the 70s. My parents generation mainly replaced their car, TV, appliance or even kitchen only when it broke or wore out. Not that much went in the bin, now the wheelie bin is filled with unavoidable packaging. We are apparently supposed to replace everything when the ads say there's a new colour, or the spec got bumped 2%, long before it becomes unusable or worn. Can't help but feel we're going backwards at a rate of knots.
>Who spends $50 million on a car?

Someone who has so much money that $50M feels the same to them as the price of the hotwheels feels to you. (Also, people without that much money who are impulsive).
I agree that smart contracts are by far the most interesting thing about this kind of blockchain idea. However since it is permissioned (i.e., not a blockchain), then JP can just change the rules whenever they want. The novel idea that came out of blockchain was the permissionless aspect. While there are tons of problems with blockchain today, you have some assurance that the smart contract will operate as the terms originally sent to the chain. Having a JP run a blockchain essentially cant provide any more (meaningful) assurance than an existing written contract by JP.

Furthermore to say that interesting applications will emerge in permissioned blockchains is akin to saying ever since 2010 Neural networks will make a large impact. It may be true but NNs have been around for decades while Permissioned Blockchains (i.e., distributed ledgers) have also been around for decades. They are merely; append only, distributed, permissioned data structures/bases that have some level of throughput and information guarantees
I'm going to disagree with "It's natural".

We have created a business and government environment where it is likely to happen, but we can change that environment at any time, just as Reagan created the current business environment 30 some odd years ago.
What I miss most about Altavista was the boolean search operators, and being able to reliably insist that words either must or must not appear in the results with the + and - characters. With Google these operators are seemingly just hints that it feels free to ignore.
