> I don't agree that a typical 50% win rate

Assuming there are no ties, and teams have an even number of players, a multiplayer competitive video game is going to be a zero sum game; for every winner, there is going to be a loser.

While I agree that you it isn't the SOLE purpose of a matchmaking system, I do think a fair matchmaking system will end up with most players having a 50% win rate (with a few people at either ends of the skill spectrum having lower or higher win rates). If you are winning more of your games, you should play better at better players until you start losing again (and vice versa). You should eventually hit an equilibrium where you are playing people you have about a 50% chance of beating.
If you'd like answers to all the questions in the first half of your post, I suggest you read Huemer's book.
I’ve had a sort of revival of local shopping (at Costco and other places), even more so during COVID, since I value their presence and role as a social shared space. I am also cooking more, reading more, and spending more time outside. These changes have had me considering cancelling Prime as well, especially with recognizing the low return consumerism has for happiness and health compared to the simple things. In the same way, I feel like streaming services have resulted in a “digital consumerism” and I’m considering cancelling some of them as well.
I don't know what is the right answer.

It is like we are stuck between two evils.

One is censorship, that is used by dominant group to silence everyone else.

Another is bunch of minority groups that might have outlandish aims and use free speech platforms to harrass everyone else.

What I don't like that it is left to private company to sort it out and enact their own policies. This questions should be clearly handled on legislative level. In the end of the day a company provides a service, they shouldn't be the judge of how much free speech is allowed/not allowed.

So I would say it is not failure of twitter here, it is just massive failure of our political process, but we all kind of know that already.

This is a real-valued computer, not a quantum computer. In the described algorithm the state is the real-valued angle of the polarizer. One could very well implement this algorithm using the charge on a capacitor. Also the algorithm has bugs, it can overshoot the vertical. The author does acknowledge these shortcomings in the "caveats" section. But with all those caveats, you are not building a quantum computer at home.
That hasn't been my experience at all, in fact recent tools such as vite and snowpack are built on using rollup for frontend projects. You do need to install the plugins you want to use as they aren't all available out of the box, but generally I haven't had any troubles and basically just stick to the official plugins.

it's more be'efitial to have flat rent that doesn't price peoplenout of living in certain cities simly due to housing rates. housing is an essential service.

soo how that works?

locations have different expenses. farms have cheap land. they have expensive delivery cost. taking money from people paying high rent to subsidize farmers is not 'benefitial' to people living in cities. it's benefitial to farmers. how about everyone pay their own expenses, and we don't shuffle around other people's costs. it's not benefitial to me to pay for a farmer getting fifty junk mail catalogs a week.
I agree. Now recently after having spent days reading and thinking about a legal agreement with another company, I'm wondering, why am I so careful with that, but at the same time accept being a passenger in other people's cars -- when I know some of those drivers text-and-drive, making them as dangerous as drunk drivers.

Or they don't keep the distance to the car in front, or try to overtake two large trucks at once, limited sight. Should I be fine with that, saving me a few hours,

Well, yes, that's the intent. That combined with their members-only policy results in significantly reduced shrinkage, which further allows them to drive down operating costs and thus prices.

+1 - Browsh is one of the most amazing pieces of software I've come across in the past few years.

I've found that using Browsh together with mosh and tmux, you can get a surprisingly functional remote desktop experience. I've found it especially handy in cases when "normal" remote desktop is too slow, e.g. when tethered to mobile data connection or using an underpowered client device.
I think you meant to reply to @ygjb?

But yep, this is pretty much my thinking as well - that being ruled by the whims of the mob is hardly desirable from a societal standpoint because it ultimately results in many of the same issues that government restrictions on expression do.
I start all my server side projects in TypeScript lately. There is enough support that it is actually very easy to get started. ts-node, npm @types, and many packages natively supporting ts help.

The browser is a crazy environment and adds difficulty, but I find my server code can very strictly typed. The nodejs type definitions are good and if you pick an ORM library with good typescript support then both the in memory data structures and database objects can be well typed.

The build step with typescript is basically negated by ts-node for the server. Alternatively, by using tsc --watch and some clever indirection I've enabled hot reloading for most of my server code. So just to be clear, I have types helping me code using vs-code, I save and immediately see changes on the server.

If you know the tools well and how to set things up then TS + node can provide a better developer environment than many languages.

My point is that ASLR makes assumptions about the attackers capabilities. All good mitigations do. If the attacker has "I can run nearly arbitrary computations on within the processes memory space", that is outside of the model that ASLR attempts to deal with.

For example, ASLR for a process that executes Javascript is probably not going to be as useful as ASLR for a process that receives network requests.
I would argue the upsides out-weigh the downsides. Out of two downsides you mention, one actually applies to tar archives as well (the ordering of files can be random) -- it's just that there's no index to compare against. If you added an index to a tar archive it would have the same issue.

The compression point you make is fair, though there is a clear trade-off when it comes to random-access. Naive whole-archive compression makes efficient random-accesses impossible because you have to decompress everything before the data you're trying to access. A sufficiently-clever archive and compression format may be able to overcome that, but I'd argue that zip made a reasonable trade-off here.

> AFAIK tar only checksums the header

tar doesn't checksum anything, there isn't even a CRC.

Doesn't this explicitly favor the high-output at any cost professor? A professor who had a high nature output could attract more PhD students and structure their program such that they take more of the credit than you would expect.

This wouldn't work in all fields, but there are quite a few disciplines where the biggest barrier to research is having funding and someone to do the work.

This was previously not the case. Cat is out of the bag though.
Thanks for the links. It doesn't seem like your experiment captures the interesting part, which is that you don't need more qubits to measure a more subtle bias.

As I understand the experiment now, it seems like the more subtle the bias in the coin, the more times you would need to rotate the polarizer to detect the bias.

If there is something about using the polarizing filters to keep track of tries that is more efficient than using something like a stick, then I would emphasize that in your write-up.

How does "holy moly" relate to the Odyssey?
Okay, sure, but Costco's real strength isn't people's abstract trust in the quality of the Kirkland brand, but the fact that there's (1) heavy curation, leaving very little selection, which limits consumer indecision and raises the stakes for suppliers; and (2) an extremely accommodating return policy, so you can truly rest assured that you're made whole.

Lots of other stores have a money-back guarantee on their private label stuff, but are you really going to return a bag of $2 chips to a grocery store? But you've probably returned some big-price item to Costco before, so you likely have experience with the process. And when your purchase is closer to fifteen bucks instead of $2, you're a lot more likely to want the satisfaction guarantee. Costco gives you that, and you know in your heart that you're likely to actually use it if the item really doesn't work for you.

As for curation and selection, there's no more than two choices at Costco for every product category. Instead of buyers checking every shelf and variety and sizing of 6 different brands of the same thing before they buy, they make only two binary choices: Do I need this? Do I want the cheaper one?

Conversely, this means that your manufacturer's coupons, your rotating sales, your TV spots are all practically useless for tipping this market segment your way. As a producer, only way in to this near-captive market is to already be the leader, or to agree to make the Kirkland. Wouldn't you rather try than to be shut out?
sorting + filtering would be awesome too
My argument is oil dependence is a ball and chain on the aspirations of the developing world. The need of minor counties to buy oil in dollars chains them to the US and European dominated financial system with ruthlessly exploits them and savages countries that try to fight back. Once the leaders of those countries are confident they can do without constantly importing oil they're going to run for the exits as fast as they can.

They will only get in trouble if first they ban people of a protected class, and secondly it can be shown that their stated reason for banning was a lie covering their desire to actually ban people of a protected class or represents a bias against those members merely via statistical fact.

Merely being arbitrary in enforcement or inconsistent isn’t enough to automatically trigger government protection.

If you say that this isn’t fair, then I agree. However the class protections are pragmatic and serve to reduce social disruption. Like it or not, people are a lot less worked up over being discriminated against due to being democrats, than they are for being Catholics.
Rollup isn't focused on node, if it was commonJS support would be bundled into the code.

It's got a small and focused core that aims for esm (I regard the other output formats supported as esm -> that format).

You do need to plug stuff in rather than having a batteries included experience. But that is a strength imo where you want to worry only about what you need.

I do recommend adapting an existing config when using it in a new project, or creating your own templates/"create-x-app" wrapper.

I use it for my home projects, and several work ones. It's "lower level" than Babel or parcel but that means I can set it up to compile both a lean, modern esm build, and a legacy IE11 compatible polyfilled systemJS bundle much easier than I can in webpack with its proprietary bundle format or parcels zero config.

I will admit that node resolve and commonJs rollup plugins are pretty much a required part to work within the npm ecosystem right now, so it is a bit more boilerplate-y than I'd like.

> If I understood your point correctly, a company could get in trouble for refusing to service someone based on some stated reason (e.g. your clothes) if it can be shown that they do serve other people that match that given reason.

Ah, no, I didn’t quite spell that out.

They can get in trouble if their stated reason for refusing service doesn’t line up with the way they treat other people who behave the same way, IF that disparity in behaviour can help build an argument that the preponderance of evidence suggests that their real reason for refusing service was related to your membership in a protected class. They’re free to behave inconsistently in general.[1]

So if Twitter says they banned 17k QAnon accounts for coordinated misinformation campaigns but for whatever reason you could show that a bunch of other misinfo networks they knew about weren’t banned, and all the QAnon accounts were also known to twitter to be Unitarians, and this was part of a pattern of behaviour towards Unitarian accounts, that might be legally actionable.

But if there’s no underlying, unifying element to these 17k accounts that’s protected, Twitter is free to ban them from their service even if they’re not very consistent about enforcing their TOS.

[1] Which isn’t to say that behaving inconsistently is smart, precisely because it can open you up to these kinds of arguments if your inconsistency starts to look like a pattern of behaviour towards a protected class.

Regular private companies work pretty well for coordinating and providing paid for services. Especially something like garbage collection.

Of course, details depend for example on what our 'no bad actor' assumption actually means, and perhaps on what ideas you have about human nature and history.

> Even in a no-bad-actors world you still have many different competing interests to balance due to different people's needs and preferences, so you probably want some kind of polling/citizens forum/whatever to gather input for making decisions, and an organisation that looks at all the details and makes the decisions on behalf of the collective.

Yes, you'll want some kind of organisation. My comment was just that the organisation would probably not look like a monarchy, benevolent or otherwise.

So you're saying our genes are going to compete and evolve so that we no longer compete and evolve? That's not how it works.

But a less flippant way to put it is that a world without "bad" actors isn't a stable equilibrium. It cannot and will not ever happen. If you need convincing, look to nature. An equilibrium is only formed through a multitude of mixed strategies.

Artificial selection might result in what you desire, but that would be.. unpopular, to say the least.

That's a fascinating point. I wonder if states increasing the gas tax would help the small budgets states offer for roads to be more effective at mitigating the burden to cities and counties.

you know litetally nothing about this. we are literally, by law, forced to use usps for letters. this is what people have been fighting against for 150 years. letting private services deliver mail. the last time a company tried this, in 1854 i think, they were shut down for breaking the the law - procecuted by the government.

it's not 'worth the simplicity' to me, living in a high rent city. literally every piece of mail in an urban area is 10x it's actual delivery cost, which pays for the farmer's mail, and him getting all the spam, which actually costs 10x more than he pays. exponentially more people live in cities. every time you get your bank statement delivered in a city, you and 20 others just paid for a single letter to be delivered to a farmer. through shittier interest rates in your savings account. yes, i rarely mail letters. like 10 times a year. and same goes for the 3 million other people in my city. and yet because of low farmland population, urbanites still mail many more total letters vs farmers.

we're not paying for it? whi, pray tell, do you think is paying for that farmer to send a letter? he pays half a dollar for a stamp. the post office spends about $10 to deliver it. my letter costs a penny to deliver. i pay half a dollar too.

so no, it is not 'worth the simplicity' to me, to pay for that farmer. but federal law forces me to.

And I assure you I pay way more than $2/ month. In fact, AT&T's cheapest unlimited plan starts around $65 - and thats the advertised price, which is always before taxes and fees, so its realistically around ~ $80 monthly once all of those ludicrous surcharges are tacked on. Once again, this is for their cheapest plan.

federal law makes it illegal for anyone but usps to deliver letters? rich people want to allow competition on letter delivery? but billionairs bad, so usps should have a monopoly. this is what the comment i replied to said. get it now? next i'll show you tje bunny method if tying your laces, so no more need for those velcro shoes little guy!
