I am very happy that you spotted the cannon ball mistake. In fact, it was a projectile from a ballista. As for the coin, it was a barbaric imitation of a coin of Constantine I. According to most publications, it was issued in the 380s AD by a mint in the area occupied then by the Goths. Close to this coin, a late Roman arrowhead was found. These were surface finds a few meters from the excavated house that was burned down and the ballista projectile was recovered from its interior. (a member of the Tenea Project Team)
Being a good example for me also means, to stop bullying and in general exploiting of weaker ones.

I also do martial arts with kids. It teaches them how to fight, but more importantly, not needing to fight, especially not weaker ones, to feel superior. If you know you are strong, you don't have to show off. People with low self esteem does that.

Actually, most of Western opinion about Iran is misguided and plain wrong. Iran is really not as terrible as all the propaganda about it. In fact its quite much like Turkey, except the politicians are better and its not as corrupt.
"Well, it's funny that the people, when they say that this is evidence of the Almighty, always quote beautiful things. They always quote orchids and hummingbirds and butterflies and roses." But I always have to think too of a little boy sitting on the banks of a river in west Africa who has a worm boring through his eyeball, turning him blind before he's five years old. And I reply and say, "Well, presumably the God you speak about created the worm as well," and now, I find that baffling to credit a merciful God with that action.

That's not the case with Iran. If you want to study abroad as Iranian you must either spend 10000€ (or something like that) to get permission to leave country or spent 3 years in the army. I'm simplifying with 10000€ but idea is that Iranians with their small salaries can not allow that. Joining military is not an option as well for some.

There's one interesting change I've noticed in chess and in a number of other fields where we seem to be gradually are losing that je ne sais pas we once had. This [1] is a film from 1925, "Chess Fever". For one bit of unspoken context, the smirking gentleman from the beginning (and the one that makes a few recurring appearances) is Jose Raul Capablanca - a person often considered the most naturally talented player ever and who was reigning world champ when this movie was released. Aside from the humor of the movie, I think there's something much more telling. The movie emphasizes chess as a game for adults, that kids can play.

That was published just following the advent of the USSR which would go on to become the world's powerhouse of chess for many decades, arguably continuing to this day. It seems in the west we've gradually started to reverse that adult-based focus for many things, chess among them: it's a game for kids, that adults can play. We've spent an immense amount of energy, and money, getting chess in schools but I'm not sure we've seen anything like a proportional gain in outcome for it.

For instance this [2] is the home page for the US Chess Federation. They chose of all possible pictures, for their lead image, one of an under 10 year old girl playing, and the strong bias towards scholastic/youth chess is present throughout. The only reason I mention this is because I imagine like many when I was a kid I was reached an age (still a kid) where I was gradually repelled by things I perceived as 'kid things' and drawn to things I perceived as 'adult things.' In my case coding was something I perceived as an adult thing, and that attraction ended up playing a monumental role in shaping my life. I'm quite curious if things would have been different had my school been actively attempting to get kids involved in coding.

Longtime Bitwig user here that switched there after Ableton 9 which I used since the very start.

Bitwig is quite similar to Ableton in terms of capabilities, I never tried this myself, but there seems to be a way (assuming you want Windows VSTs on Linux) https://answers.bitwig.com/questions/624/vst-windows-on-linu...

I am perfectly happy with the built-in stuff however. Because of bitwigs extremely strong modulation engine the standard effects are probably the most powerful and expressive ones out there.

> If the Russians have figured out inexpensive techniques to turn out votes for the Republicans, would it not make sense for the Democrats to try some of those techniques to get their own turnout up too?

The Democratic Party doesn't have the expertise that Russia has, no. I don't think the Republican Party does, either.

I'm not sure where you think I suggested that Russia only interfered to turn up votes for Republicans. I think their interference took many forms, including helping Trump, hurting Clinton, stoking racial outrage among blacks, stoking racial outrage among whites, helping Sanders, and many other angles.

Finally... why didn't you address the claims in the Mueller report? Or do you disagree with Mueller, every other national intelligence figure (including many in Trump's admin), and many senators, all of whom have seen evidence that none of us has seen?
There are a bunch of problems. Firstly, people simply don't apply for jobs that use languages they don't know. That makes filling a role really hard. Secondly, if someone has to learn the language when they join that puts a lag on how quickly they can be useful. You can't go as fast, which is bad if you're a startup. And lastly, companies are (usually) very reluctant to let someone spend the first few months getting up to speed if a technology choice means they can recruit people who'll immediately be effective.

That's not to say using a less popular language is a bad idea (it isn't), just that hiring should be a part of the technology decision making process.

This kind of analysis is really reaching. I'm not going to adress each point but talk in more general terms.

Iran is not going to play by the book, they've shown multiple times they are willing to escalate things when it looks like deescalation is more logical choice. One of recent examples is when they shot down a US drone. What is the reason for this is unclear, it's possible that hardliners in Iran have control over parts of the military, and that they push for escalation whenever there is a situation to deescalate things with USA. Another option is that there is no divide in Iran, but that is it well orchestrated "madman" tactic to make USA willing to make bigger concessions.

Rest of the analysis completely ignores the facts that Houthi's are receiving or using Iran built or Iran designed weapons, not just cruise missiles but anti air missiles as well. It is a huge leap of faith to assume that some other country in a false flag created a missile that resembles known Houthi weapons or that multiple countries created a fake narrative that fit Houthi attack.

And after that, Houthi's played into that false flag narrative by taking responsibilities for the attack, even citing methods they used to do the attack (methods seem to be fake, but the point stands).

This theory of a false flag attack makes no sense. It would take several countries with conflicting interests to cooperate (Houthis claiming responsibility, Saudi Arabia accepting huge material losses and faking a rocket in the desert, Israel conducting a stealthy attack far away from their borders, Iran playing along and not exposing it...)
People who get stung out of nowhere have been swatting the wasp away, or are leaping around trying to avoid them. It's no wonder really. Mind you, most people give the same reaction to bees which are positively docile. People generally seem to find you insane if you don't participate in this swatting and running away business. :)

Now if you were drinking your beer right by where a wasp nest happened to be, yeah then there'd be aggression.
One step at a time.

Substantial cultural or institutional change doesn’t happen in a year or even five years. Anecdotally, the time lines are 20-30 years, if not more. Some countries move faster than others.

I don’t think this metric is useless. No one is saying Iran is the bastion of women’s rights. But - More women achieving higher education is a good thing. The younger generations are certainly far more progressive from the anecdotes I’ve heard from Iranian friends.

Iranians know how to welcome tourists, they were extremely friendly, the food is delicious, the country is beautiful, and many people are open-minded.

Evolution is a relatively poor search algorithm that tends to get stuck at local maxima. Unlike science, it doesn't build maps and models for exploration and extrapolation.

So far as I know there's no general theory of theories which quantifies this, so there's no way to make predictions about the cut-off point for evolutionary invention.

But in a hand-wavy way, evolution's only feedback loop is first-order and binary - mutate and reproduce at a positive replacement rate, or not.

The feedback loop in science is more complex. Instead of being driven by a random search, "mutations" are guided by a creative model. This creates momentum in the model space which isn't available to evolution - which in turn makes it possible to discover more complex and less immediately accessible solutions.

It also makes it possible to build systems whose value is guaranteed, or at least strongly suspected, before resources are diverted to making them physical.

The bottom line is evolution is only ever going to find a small subset of all possible biological configurations, and that space is going to exclude many features that are available to science-driven search.

(Of course you can argue that scientific meta-search was a product of evolution anyway, so the distinction is academic.)

I see this argument a lot for the non-existence of a higher power, god whatever. But it’s based on the (I think false) presumption that in order for a higher power to exist, that power must necessarily intend for humans on an individual basis have nothing bad happen to them. This is clearly false since the world is full of suffering, pain, genocide, murder and the like. Obviously, the point of life is not for all us to get along and be happy because nothing bad happens, it’s to try to overcome the horror and live in the appreciation of every moment that we are alive, no matter the pain or suffering. Living in enteral peace is easy when nothing bad happens, it’s when the shit hits the fan that the real work begins.

In my humble view, each of us has a part to play in the greater order of the universe. Sometimes that part is to be rich and comfortable. Other times it’s to be a starving child. If you believe in re-incarnation, all of us are the starving child AND the billionaire.
Maybe. I have a hard time believing that someone smart enough to set up the whole exchange and run it couldn’t think of a better way to make a clean exit and not leave an enormous mess for his wife. She would need to help, bringing the “body” back to Canada, testifying about the hospital and what happened, etc. So the bet is she can handle everything, claim she wasn’t involved, and after a few years go and join Gerry in India somewhere? That’s a fools plan.

Then again, most criminals aren’t smart. Maybe he was just lucky for a while.

It’s possible, but I still think it’s more likely that everything was going to shit for a while and he happened to die. If he hadn’t died, given the BTC rally this year and renewed interest, he probably would have had a fresh infusion of capital and we might not even know!

Yes, but stopping is not enough. It will just move beyond your back. It is also important to actively teach positive problem solving, deal with underlying reasons for bullying etc.

The same for victim or maybe even more importantly. You have to actively teach the kid behaviors that makes it less likely bullied, in situation when the kid is not bullied right now. Even if you are naturally assertive, the kid may not be and you gotta actively work with it.

You seem to be engaging in a "No True Scotsman" argument here.

I could point to MRIs and SQUID, but I guess you could claim some animals sense magnetism (for wayfinding or determining north). I don't consider those to be in the same league but then we're back to arguing semantics under your definitions.

The fact remains that physical phenomena exist that evolution did not discover. There are perfectly good reasons for that, but I don't think it is fair to say if nature doesn't use it then it is "questionable".
> must necessarily intend for humans on an individual basis have nothing bad happen to them

This is at very least at odds with Christian teaching e.g. the personal god is one believed in by many.

This regardless of the lack of scientific evidence for the existence of God.
I say no, by far. The ability to add and multiply is "Turing complete" if you add external looping. Or in this case, the ability to XOR and NOT.

The Patrician took a sip of his beer. ‘I have told this to few people, gentlemen, and I suspect never will again, but one day when I was a young boy on holiday in Uberwald I was walking along the bank of a stream when I saw a mother otter with her cubs. A very endearing sight, I’m sure you will agree, and even as I watched, the mother otter dived into the water and came up with a plump salmon, which she subdued and dragged on to a half-submerged log. As she ate it, while of course it was still alive, the body split and I remember to this day the sweet pinkness of its roes as they spilled out, much to the delight of the baby otters who scrambled over themselves to feed on the delicacy. One of nature’s wonders, gentlemen: mother and children dining upon mother and children. And that’s when I first learned about evil. It is built in to the very nature of the universe. Every world spins in pain. If there is any kind of supreme being, I told myself, it is up to all of us to become his moral superior.’

Cures for Hearing Loss May Be Found in New Drugs
Former chess prodigy here. I had the honor of training with Pal Benko in the early 90s when I represented Team USA in the world youth championships. I remember Benko being a real class act, which I can’t say about many of the chess personalities I’ve met over the years. You could tell he was absolutely, passionately in love with chess. In that sense he represented something pure which maybe we’ve lost in this new era.

That said, let’s be clear. The golden era of American chess, and chess in general, is happening now and only getting better. I give credit to to open-source projects like LiChess and Lc0, tournaments like LiChess Titled where mere mortals get a chance to challenge Magnus, and the rise of chess streaming as a thing.

Heck, I’ll concede that the golden era of classical chess is over. But it’s been over for a while, pretty much since computers advanced opening theory and took all the wins out of classical. RIP classical chess. But for those willing to think on their feet, the golden era of blitz and bullet is here :-)
