Not a game theory expert, but maybe it would be more correct to say that we are stuck in a Nash equilibrium (no player can benefit by changing strategies while the other players keep theirs unchanged).

The problem that I see is that it is often difficult to learn when you are going against someone who is sufficiently better than you if they play their hardest.

For example, in martial arts an important skill for a beginner is recognizing openings in an opponent's defense. However, an experienced fighter has few openings (so the beginner gets less practice) and can often defend against an attack even if they were open (so its difficult for the beginner to recognize when they successfully identified an opening).

At the early stage it's often a better teaching tool for the experienced fighter to purposely use a strategy that tends to create openings (e.g. by using more aggressive strategies rather than counter attacks), to fight with a handicap, or even to purposely leave themselves open and allow the beginner to score a (non-damaging) hit.

I think the OP's point is that at that end of the market, the salesperson measuring you up for the custom fit/alteration of shirts is still good enough [and pays for themself] to get dimensions you'll be happy with, and 3D scanning tech is a niche pitch.

There is no such exemption.

As evidence I point to Boys Town, a philanthropy that quite literally exists to take care of orphans. It amassed a large fortune that exceeded anything justifiable by their core mission. In the 1970s, a tip from Warren Buffett on this won The Omaha Sun (which he owned at the time) a Pulitzer for reporting on the resulting scandal. (He was also an investor in The Washington Post which won a Pulitzer in the same year for reporting on Watergate.)

See https://www.philanthropydaily.com/nonprofits-mission-drift-b... for verification. And evidence suggesting that that particular charity has continued down the same path.

What if the open fire is the main system of heating your house, that has (both by accident and a stream of unfortunate decisions) long ago been built in the middle of a perpetual blizzard ? (And where most of the occupants demand a 22°C room temperature ?)

(Feel free to suggest a humane way to deal with those occupants, if you're convinced that you're furry enough not to need the open fire.

On the other hand, we're having this discussion on computers connected to the Internet, which, for the sake of analogy, we might as well call "the barbecue on top of the open fire in the living room.")
Take a look at D. Some of D's features (such as alias this and mixin templates) may seem strange, but they come from decades of experience with C++ features- Walter Bright and Andrei Alexandrescu, two C++ pioneers, are among D's foremost advocates. WB made the first end-to-end C++ compiler, and AA wrote Modern C++ Design. GCC 9 now supports D.

I've only ever had one person try to haggle with me on US Ebay but he was trying to buy all of my stock so it made sense that he wanted some volume discount. I've sold stuff on forums before and that is always a haggling experience. It's pretty much expected to have someone haggle with you even if you don't say OBO (or best offer). It's mostly good, sometimes people will throw in some goods to bring the cash price down or you might waive the paypal fees if they have a good reputation. You still get a lot of "PM me ur lowest price", like if you don't want to pay sticker price, you have to play the haggle game a little bit. I would always mark things up a bit more than what I actually wanted to get for it just so I had room to haggle the price down a bit.

People really love when they think they are getting a deal or somehow taking advantage of the seller so it's better to entertain them a little bit if it's going to get the sale.

Even more worrisome is that the OP came up with a clever way to solve the problem but didn't bother to leave a comment on the code explaining how it works. As a result, everyone that copied the code, did so without any comments as well.
It’s basically only time I would ever put a URL in the comment.

> ou have to do a lot of tedious study and memorization to get better at chess beyond a point, or spend a lot of time in a fighting game's training mode just to be able to consistently do moves and combos on demand.

Things like that are fun for a subset of people. I played competitive smash bros. melee for years. I always had a separate crt tv in my room ready to go, and I would put on music, or a podcast, etc, and just practice things. It was relaxing after a long day and that practice eventually made me much better in real matches- winning matches is a huge high.

Chess is different but also the same. I'm slowly learning theory, openings, etc, and it's quite fascinating.

> or spend a lot of time in a fighting game's training mode just to be able to consistently do moves and combos on demand.

That's -why- these games are fun to play and spectate. What separates bad from decent from good players is how consistently they can apply technical skill under nerve-wracking situations, such as being 1 game in a set away from getting knocked out of a tournament. Stuff like daigo's parry at EVO 2004 was exhilarating precisely because of the technical skill required, and the fact that he had to practice things like that.

Regrettably I only properly discovered gin - via a Negroni - about 8 years ago.

Curiously TFA didn't dwell on advances & experiments in Australia, particularly the southern states, such as Tasmania, where there's been a some tremendous examples of the art.

Shene Poltergeist gin would bring into the fold even the most vehemently anti-g&t drinker. (Though mixing that with tonic would be a ghastly waste.)

Ophir (UK), St George Terroir (US), or Gin Mare (ES) are great places to start if you've historically just spurned the idea of gin.
I doubt think this is accurate.

Google might not respect the desire for an open internet without ads and no single large player.

But i believe they fully respect their users privacy, comply with most of the law around privacy already, and have the strong desire to fully comply with it in the future.

Maybe I'm naive that way. But painting them as not respecting privacy at all is a bit blunt and not nuanced enough.

How? If I interview a bunch of people for programming positions and pick the 10 best men and 10 best women, which group do you think will be best? Statistically I have considered several times more men than women, so the male group will almost surely be stronger. The only way to avoid this is to intentionally pick bad men, or if I just randomly ignore 83% of their resumes.

> I'd bet a lot of money that self-diving cars will predate AGI by quite a bit.

I think that may be true, but I don't think they will get there merely by on-board computers/radars/lidars/machine vision. I don't think Level 5 autonomous driving is possible with just the aforementioned technologies. The laymen have a vastly inflated sense of what today's "AI tech" is and its capabilities, which boil down to curve fitting. At best, we may get geo-fenced cars that operate under highly controlled conditions.

Whilst I think self-driving is a great problem to solve and is probably helping push the envelope of AI, I think using AI to solve this problem is fundamentally the wrong approach. I think we may need to take a leaf from aviation if we really want autonomous vehicles to become a reality. Airplanes don't use machine vision to land for instance, they use radionavigation. I think cars having transponders of some type to detect other cars, and defining where drivable paths are based on some radio signal supported by the infrastructure is the way to go for reliable and robust autonomous driving.

Y'all should try D! D compiles really fast-- the D reference compiler can compile itself, the standard library, and the codegen backend in less than 5 seconds, on a single laptop core. It uses a streaming architecture to achieve this. It runs fast because it is supported by both GCC and LLVM. One of its guiding principles is the thing that looks like C works like C-- all members of a file public by default, for example.

Some experimental compiler builds (Calypso) can compile D for use with C++ libraries as complex as Qt.

You can start porting your D project to C by using DPP- it allows you to #include C headers within D- and use macros. Putting "extern(C):" at the top of your file let's you interoperate between C and D.

Andrei Alexandrescu wrote Modern C++ Design, and is the co-captain of D. The captain of D created the first end-to-end C++ compiler.

It really depends on how good the player is. I have played people in smash where the skill gap was so wide I could have just put my controller down and it wouldn't have made a difference. I literally lost a match in a tournament where I didn't, couldn't, touch the enemy once. I was probably the lowest seed in that tournament, he was the #1 seed, and was one of the top 5 players of the game.

I normally like playing better players because it forces me to learn and stop using lazy habits that work on worse players, but it's hard to learn anything useful when I'm getting crushed so bad like that. Instead, reflecting and continuing to play with people near my level until I improve enough to revisit that player is a better option for personal growth.

To me 1000kB would imply that the result was calculated with 1024 as base instead of 1000, which is a wrong assumption.

It should always use the highest relevant prefix to avoid confusion imho.

I would always mark up my prices for things on forums a little bit so I had room to haggle it down but I never entertained people asking what my lowest price was. If you can't afford sticker price, you can afford to haggle. It was a pretty niche marketplace so there was pretty much never going to be anything like those crazy thrift store finds where someone buys something worth $5000 for $5, all the sellers usually had a good idea what their stuff was worth and priced appropriately. There were always the morons who priced their junk 5x it's market value but those people were too stupid to haggle with, they would get insulted when you offered a good market price.
I am surprised they consider putting agricultural "waste" outside the loop as a way to store CO2, because we (will) probably need it as fertilizer.
The main problem I have with some of the carbon sequestering methods like dumping waste biomass at the bottom of the sea is that that biomass is a mixture of carbon we want to sequester, and nutrients that we really want to put back into the land. Constantly removing biomass from a land area is a really effective method of turning that land into a totally useless area that doesn't grow anything any more.
