MTG doesn’t have finite number of pieces, or finite number of actions each turn though.

Naturally people have implemented Turing machines in mtg. www.toothycat.net/~hologram/Turing

Also, the endgame criteria of mgt can be changed, but that said there is only a finite number of simple possible endgames in a sense.

It was the same in the heavily industrialized parts of Germany till the 80s or so. There was a documentary covering the history of these sites. And the oral history part of it was just shocking. Like certain departments being known as the "blood pissers" because basically everyone working there for too long got bladder cancer. Or the fact that it was normal that people just vanished during their shift because they fell into melted iron and nobody realized until shift end.

But what even shocked me more than these stories was how people thought about them. Somewhere between pride and it-is-just-like-that. From all levels, workers, managers, chemists with PhDs, their families...
No it isn't: The goal is to use a specific construction with specific cards to build a universal Turing machine.

Unlike previous attempts, which used cards that leave some room for Player agenda, this new version doesn't.

I also tried doing UpWork in my spare time, I had a few gigs with good reviews and made ~$300 over about a month. I only took on jobs that I enjoyed so it wasn't like I was trying to live off it.

I also tried Freelancer but never did any work there, it was an awful expereince but for different reasons.

> remain solvent long enough to become a monopoloy

I used to think this, but I'm increasingly skeptical this is actually the plan.

1. It's unlikely all other similar transportation options fold in the next five to ten years. (Beyond that you're putting a lot of faith in your ability to predict market activity very far in the future).

2. There are available substitutes for some types of trips, and substitutes make it difficult for monopolies to extract rents. E.g., sometimes they are competing with cross town buses, sometimes they are competing with walking, ebikes, or scooters, sometimes they are competing with asking a friend for a ride.

3. There are low barriers to entry.

If Uber monopolized car hiring transportation somehow, then increased prices to collect enough rents to recoup losses from the dumping phase, a new Lyft could immediately spin up to threaten that position.

Uber and Lyft cost a lot to maintain, but not necessarily to start.

I mean, maybe they're optimistic that these won't be issues, but building a monopoly isn't as easy as it seems. People have been very successful as monopolists, but that doesn't mean become a monopolist is always the best strategy.
Actually they are not even solvable in theory even with a bigger universe of insanely powerful computer. Which is what it means to say that mtg is Turing complete.

There is indeed no limitation on the number of tokens in a game.

There are many combo wins that involve having (technically) infinite tokens, dealing infinite damage, gaining infinite life, taking infinite turns. You get the idea.

I said technically because in practice, setting this to a very large number is enough for the win. Dealing 1e6 damage is, although possible, already way overkill in most cases when your opponent starts with 20 life.
One general concern that this report raises is that an unaccountable company can suddenly cut off a person from working for many companies, as well as from the reputation the person built (in the metrics of the company).

I don't think it's fair to call it myopic. That implies that one method is correct and the other is wrong. It's more of a cultural difference.

While South Korea has largely embraced the Western style of instant gratification hyper consumerism, Japan is more nuanced. And IMO, that's a good thing.

There is value in scarcity, and in context. It's OK if a publisher doesn't want its work distributed around the world for everyone to see. It's that publisher's property. Having to travel to Japan to see, read, or hear certain things is a good thing. If every thing and every experience was available everywhere, there would be no point in travel.

Having ramen in a hole-in-the-wall ramen shop beneath the train tracks in Japan is a different experience than having ramen in Japantown Los Angeles.

When my wife goes to Japan, she brings an small empty suitcase to ship home just for the books, magazines, and music she can't get here.

It's like artists who destroy their work after a show. Scarcity increases the object's value to some. And it's the artist's choice to do so, not the audience's.

I know this is an unpopular view, especially in tech circles, but you don't have a right to consume every piece of media ever created in every region around the world all the time.
Public beta test: Keyn – simple and secure authentication
See TehCorwiz' response below. It seems it never is JUST plastic.
Magic The Gathering is different from the games you mentioned in that it is defined by cards that rewrite the rules of the game. There are already at least five known ways to implement Turing machines, for example:

https://www.toothycat.net/~hologram/Turing/

If you then think about the sheer number of existing M:tG cards and the implied number of possible combinations of those cards and changes to the rules (even if "optimized" to combinations that eliminate obviously nonsensical strategies like only having spells that require green mana and no sources of green mana) and the ways those cards can interact, then the computational complexity of the game explodes in ways that no other game can compare to.

And that's not even what these people showed, I think. They showed that beyond this, the complexity is worse than NP-hard.

> What I would like to have is something that bridges two native editors

The big failing of co-editors is that currently they all silo into a single editor. THat's OK for e.g co-editing stuff on a web platform (e.g Google Docs) but it totally sucks for collaborating on code/documents you edit locally, forcing everyone to use the same editor/IDE, which ultimately fails because no one will use the same editor/IDE across a whole company/team/project, so although useful I've never seen one take hold for anything but a very short amount of time in any company.

We desperately need (a couple of) well-defined protocols that get implemented across editors, and one to emerge as a widely supported winner, whatever its shortcomings.

The last time I found a Dell laptop that didn't work with Linux out of the box was in 2010 or so.

You may have some odd hardware issues with discrete GPUs and some other devices (I'm looking at you, Lenovo, and your gorgeous e-ink keyboard I want so much), but if you stay within the basics, there's no reason to assume Linux won't work with it.
But being at the top requires so much more than just physical fitness and races are routinely won by riders who are strictly inferior to 80% of the participants in every physical aspect of racing except for that one final 20 seconds all-out. And within that subdiscipline, marginally faster legs will always lose out to superior split-second situational awareness and positioning.

Roadbike races are inherently not experimental setups to identify the strongest rider, they identify the rider who passed the finish line first no matter how he got there.
I think that the number of positions that need to be considered for a brute force exhaustive search are roughly proportional to an exponential function of the number of moves made, so the statement holds true for that.

In reality, the number of possible moves is not constant and depends on the current position.

I almost did a double take when I saw this project.

We used this library two years ago in HS for some low-latency VR streaming. And yes, it's a little CPU-intensive so our smartphones got rather hot.

We tried other streaming protocols (such as H.264) but all of them supplied noticeable latency that made our system disorienting. Only JSMPEG was fast enough for our purposes. It's a fantastic library for any low-latency streaming! Highly recommend it.

You're equating the human drive for a better life with capitalism. This is a common propaganda talking point that attempts to paint 'capitalism' as a natural drive rather than an ideology.

Capitalism is merely the private ownership of the means of production (i.e. farms, factories, utilities etc.) for personal profit. Capitalism is not the same as resource collection or trade. Capitalism is a specific model of how to manage those resources and trade in society.

And let's not pretend like its the garbage pickers in Bangladesh, or the subsistence farmer in Kenya, or the local shopkeeper in London that is the problem here. It's the elite class of hyper-capitalists for whom greed is a mantra.

It's these people that cut costs in favour of using plastic packaging for their mass-produced crap. People weren't clamouring at the gates of the company demanding their shitty sugar water in plastic bottles.

It's these people that have lobbied and coerced for the perverse incentives we see in capitalism today. These are the people who will never stop trying to sell you cheap shit and it is these people who will continue to buy off your representatives to ensure that the healthy ecosystem the 99% of us need to survive is theirs to rape.

Don't blame the average person. They are not even close to the main problem. The main problem throughout history has always been the same; a small cartel of obscenely wealthy individuals and families with an out-sized share of wealth and power, and the divisions they sew amongst us to entrench themselves.

IMAP doesn't lack Gmail's "labels", Gmail just never bothered implementing their labels as IMAP labels, leading to every IMAP client requiring horrible hacks to work around Gmail's inane implementation.

Google are unlikely to implement JMAP for the same reason they've:

- ignored pleas to implement IMAP properly going back to its inception

- have IMAP disabled by default for new users, and for most corporate users (requiring a GSuite admin to explicitly enable IMAP if employees want to access their corporate email with a client).

Google benefit massively from people not using IMAP clients and being forced into their product UIs.

That said, I wouldn't call it dead in the water for this reason. Google's tactics here have reduced the overall usage of IMAP clients, but they also serve as strong motivation for that small niche of users to move away from Gmail.

Like you very well pointed out, most of that industry and the associated pollution has moved further East. As a citizen of such an Eastern European country I was unpleasantly surprised to feel the air suddenly tasting "chemical" as I was driving on a highway in Transylvania, near a town called Sebes.

Sure enough, I then soon found an article of the local residents complaining about a chemical company polluting the air they breath (in here [1], article in Romanian, unfortunately). The culprit is an Austrian (not German, but closed enough) company called Kronospan, and on its wiki page [2] one can see that its latest investment was made in Belarus, presumably only a dictatorship still allows this sort of thing to go unchecked. The same wiki page also details some pollution-related incidents for which the company was responsible in Wales in the early 2000s, that is in another relatively poor area like the Southern US states mentioned in the article.

Interesting project!

Curious what exactly you tried - H.264 is a codec, and there's a bunch of ways of delivering it to the client (HLS, WebRTC, some have build WebSocket-based streaming, ...), and I'd expect that the main latency is hidden there, not in the decoding?

Passing pointers is typically a code smell in Go, given that the "don't communicate by sharing, share by communicating" hinges on copying values when passed into e.g channels so as not to have mutexes everywhere, which would defeat the purpose of such a design.

Not that you should not have mutexes in idiomatic Go, but they usually have to be warranted for.
Either the logistics system is terrible, or there is a shortage of that part.

I'd imagine both.

Tesla's logistics seem to 'lose' cars on a regular basis, and I doubt they have a much better process for parts. I bet rather than a nice automated logistics and inventory management system they have a bunch of people with phones and spreadsheets.

They also probably have production issues with parts. Simply saying "produce 5 percent additional parts for repairs" is hugely expensive, and not normally doesn't actually solve the problem. Some parts are far more likely to fail than others, and you can't really be sure beforehand.

Oh - that part which is likely to fail? Do you want to put a big order in and make a bunch more to cover repairs, or do you want to stop production entirely, get an engineer to redesign the part, retool to make the new part, and restart production, with a slow ramp up? And now that you've had some downtime, are you going to prioritize new cars or repairs?

Yes and no. I observe different markets and while it's true that new players appear, in general their offering is worse than Uber because of smaller fleet. Also, with Uber prices it's already hard to achieve profitability, so any new player finds it even harder to compete price-wise.
