I was so confused why everyone was saying the game is so impressive when all my clicks did nothing but place a ‘?’ where I clicked. Was each ‘?’ an error message? No, it turned out you need to click each square twice to reveal it. The page really needs some instructions, because that is not how normal Minesweeper works.

The other thing you need to know to play is that right-clicking won’t flag a square. Instead, you need to left-click on the flag in the top left to toggle flag mode, then left-click on a square to flag it.
Under the Federal drug kingpin law[1], after certain thresholds[2] of business having been done, the minimum sentence is life. For example, the threshold for a life sentence for cocaine is 1500 kilograms, for LSD 300 grams. Doesn't matter if you were violent or not. No suspensed sentence, no probation, no parole (Pickard seems to have gotten an exception because of coronavirus like many others).

Bloom filter was probably chosen not because of its false negative rate but because it was good enough whatever its false negative rate is.
Pretty often when countries protect themselves using blockades or tariffs what ends up happening is that the country’s industry stops competing globally, resulting in worse products for the customers. Still might be worth it. But one should be very careful.

Actually, you're the target group. The Wii-WiiU-Switch are all based on "hey, that looks neat, let's try it" with a massive number of games designed for the casual crowd.

People like you aren't vocal in gaming communities or anything but boy do you buy games.

The disconnect becomes obvious in cases like Pokemon Sword/Shield where the community was OUTRAGED about a number of things (some complaints valid, some less so), threatening boycott... then the game comes out and sells millions in the first day. Do you realize that most people don't go to r/switch, r/nintendo or r/pokemon daily? Who knew!

You should try Zelda: Breath of the Wild or Mario vs Rabbids: Kingdom Battle, they're single player games and a lot of fun.
I didn't, but by the time I visited Machu Picchu I had already spent a couple of weeks at altitude, including climbing a 6,000 m summit.

Altitude sickness is a weird one, I'm a smoker and don't exercise, yet I was affected less than my friends who were all non-smokers and exercise regularly.
You could hold the director of the FAA at gunpoint and they still wouldn't let personal planes fly close enough to each other to make this remotely scalable. Even if you pulled the nonexistent vehicles out of a hat like magic we missed the social acceptance window. Automobiles emerged at a time when nobody really cared about safety regulations and they've continuously gotten safer, so nobody has a problem with the current 1.5 fatalities per 100 million vehicle-miles. These personal air vehicles could hit that value but it wouldn't be nearly good enough. We won't accept that in something new. We barely accept the airlines' current 0.2 deaths per ten billion passenger-miles safety record; they'll never accept a danger value 750 times as high.

I feel like most commenters are missing the point. The fact that this issue was finally settled once and for all using a proof assistant is a huge achievement! That's the highest degree of scrutiny that a proof can undergo. This is especially important given the high number of mistakes in prior work—one would be forgiven for distrusting new papers on this topic that don't have machine-certified proofs. I can't believe people think this is just clickbait. Do y'all not recognize the importance of math being...well...correct?

> Laws should made from purely utilitarian point of view, not the moral one.

You are trying to draw a distinction between the "utilitarian" and the "moral". But, to quote the Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy (IEP), "Utilitarianism is one of the best known and most influential moral theories" [1]. Claims about what is "utilitarian" are inescapably moral claims.

> but because most people do not want to fall victim to such crime so they voted to make it illegal.

In historical terms, that is quite false. In every democratic country, murder was already illegal for centuries (even millennia) before democracy was introduced. In fact, the earliest surviving legal text (the Sumerian code of Ur-Nammu, c. 2100–2050 BCE) criminalised murder, and predates the invention of democracy in ancient Athens (594 BCE) by approximately 1500 years.

The NHS has massive internal pressures on costs. It’s considered one of the most cost-effective health services in the world, but that’s because they will try to get away with doing the minimum they absolutely have to in order not to look negligent. Children and at-risk groups (the elderly, pregnant, etc) get a lot of care, everyone else is deprioritized and sent home with a bit of ibuprofen. I have experience of other health services on the continent and the comparison does not flatter the NHS.

I have to agree. Articles about software architecture, figuratively speaking, read like the result of playing connect-the-dots using the buzzwords du jour, as thrown into the mix by cloud providers to advertise solutions to problems no one is having. It's not an entirely new phenomenon, but consumerism, big media dynamics, advertising to clueless decision makers, and self-fulfilling resume padding in IT seems to be the norm this decade.

I don't call myself a "full stack" engineer. I call myself a software engineer (or software developer); this pretty much means: I am a problem solver. Do I have to design a relational data model? Sure, there I go. Do I have to keep the state of a client side app in sync with our server's database while client is offline? Ok, let's do it. Do I have to design an api that exposes resources to the public? I can do it.

If I don't know how to do something, I go and learn what's the best way to do it (by reading documentation, books, or just be asking more experienced devs). That's all.

If a company I want to work for is looking for "JavaScript" devs only (or "Python" devs only), that's a red flag... But if I really want to work for them, I would just apply because if you are a decent software engineer/developer then it does not matter if the job involves JS or Python or PHP. You can learn without too much trouble.

Some managers find that their goals are reached fasters, some find that they stop seeing certain kinds of issues.

Maybe we should rather say that some managers are skilled at managing all kinds of teams, and some stop getting results with remote teams. Or that some managers find themselves less lazy when communicating with people in person. After all we rely on productivity as reported by managers, not an objective measure per se. So managers must be skilled at measuring productivity in this particular environment.

That may be a common thing: how much of the communication in any team is that of coordination, and how much of it is that of maintaining status?

Also one cannot discard a totally different explanation: maybe it was the _change_ in the mode of work that made people more efficient, instead of remote work by itself. If it was true, then coming back from remote would also increase efficiency for a short time.
I dealt with SharePoint less than 5 years ago.

In some ways it was truly awful, to mention two examples:

- a reason for using it was to automatically apply Azure Information Protection to documents. All well and good until it turns out the mechanism can trivially be subverted, so trivially that we found out by accident by not following the exact login procedure.

- the usability makes is comparable to Oracle software. I have extensive experience with that too, but I can't say which is worse.

To make an example out of them and discourage others, prevent a cottage industry from forming. LSD manufacturing scales immensely. One lone wolf could create enough LSD to serve the whole United States demand, maybe even the global demand. LSD is also harder to manufacture. You generally need at least a MS degree and lab experience. The people who fit that profile tend to think about the future enough to respond to the possibiliy of a life sentence.

Machi Picchu was one of the few items on my world travels bucket list that was actually more spectacular and awe-inspiring than expected. Many famous landmarks are nice but kinda just ok when you are up close. Machi Picchu is a whole other category.

You should ask yourself the opposite question: why should the large states tolerate lack of proportional representation indefinitely, given that it's not in their best interests? And the thing is, if large states find that the present arrangement stymies their interests too much (which is increasingly the case due to polarization on the federal level), and there's no legal way out of that bind, they can set legalities aside. By virtue of their sheer size, if they choose to openly conflict with the smaller states over this, the latter would lose. That's why it's really up to the smaller states to continuously ensure that the compromise doesn't become too unreasonable - if it breaks down, they will be entirely at the mercy of large states, with the latter having no particular reason to feel merciful.

The Founders warned about this, by the way. This particular bit from the Federalist Papers (#22) was explaining why keeping the Articles of Confederation as they were was no longer tenable. But it's equally applicable to the Senate and EC as they exist today.

"Every idea of proportion and every rule of fair representation conspire to condemn a principle, which gives to Rhode Island an equal weight in the scale of power with Massachusetts, or Connecticut, or New York; and to Deleware an equal voice in the national deliberations with Pennsylvania, or Virginia, or North Carolina. Its operation contradicts the fundamental maxim of republican government, which requires that the sense of the majority should prevail. Sophistry may reply, that sovereigns are equal, and that a majority of the votes of the States will be a majority of confederated America. But this kind of logical legerdemain will never counteract the plain suggestions of justice and common-sense. It may happen that this majority of States is a small minority of the people of America; and two thirds of the people of America could not long be persuaded, upon the credit of artificial distinctions and syllogistic subtleties, to submit their interests to the management and disposal of one third. The larger States would after a while revolt from the idea of receiving the law from the smaller. To acquiesce in such a privation of their due importance in the political scale, would be not merely to be insensible to the love of power, but even to sacrifice the desire of equality. It is neither rational to expect the first, nor just to require the last. The smaller States, considering how peculiarly their safety and welfare depend on union, ought readily to renounce a pretension which, if not relinquished, would prove fatal to its duration."
It would be interesting if the mountain that Machu Picchu was built on -- was actually a Pyramid or some other man-made structure at one point in time in earlier history, and if so, if there are possibly any artifacts buried deep underneath...

The cost difference between new and used is truly immense.

A new Cessna 172 starts at around $400,000, and that's before you start checking off things on the options list.

Used can be as low as $20,000 for examples for the 1960s. If you thought depreciation on luxury cars was bad...

The GA system is already frankly dieing due to ever increasing costs. Your suggestion would just kill it for good.

Distillation is a way for farmers to transform crops into a denser form with arbitrary shelf life. This means that if they think local spot markets are offering a raw deal, they have the options of both temporal and spatial arbitrage.

In my country, people with stills on trailers often come around to villages to help the farmers with excess crops, and home distillation is legal. I haven't heard of problems with CH₃OH.

Even in russia distillation has been legal for all of this century. I would not be surprised if a fair amount of the booze mentioned in "Выпил С2H5OH / Сел на «Ниву» Ростсельмаш" was homemade. (who needs a fancy https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Local_currency when one can express appreciation for favours in bottles?)

For that matter, in china, 白酒 is discouraged but legal.

Anyone know what the north korean line may be? If they're a repressive state on the order of iran or the soviet union, they might ban home distillation.

> You really don't want to walk them at night.

I used to walk such roads at night.

I was taught, to keep safe:

- Carry a torch (flashlight outside the UK ;-) with good batteries, and don't wear dark clothing. Turn on the torch when you see headlights in the distance, make sure it's pointing somewhere visible.

- Walk on the right-hand side of the road (cars drive on the left in the UK). It's marginal on single-lane country roads but cars still tend towards their normal driving side. Better if you can see surprise vehicles coming towards you rather than from behind you, and they can see you facing them.

- Wear retro-reflective clothing / strips if possible.

As long as cars can see you, they slow down to pass just as they will for a car driving in the opposite direction. Which at night they first recognise by headlights, from quite far away and around corners, so light is what they're looking out for.

Definitely don't be dark, as that makes you invisible to cars at night until very close.

> I think most of the errors are type 3, which are most liable to mis-identified as "over-intervention", but they are not.

The thing is, there is no reliable way to prevent these errors, which means in general it is better to not interfere. If we had a way to ensure good decisions, we wouldn’t need some of the institutions that we have in our modern states.

One especially egregious example: California Assembly Bill 5. You could argue that this wasn’t just incompetence, but union corruption, costing many freelancers their livelihood. Another one was SF mayor London Breed‘s misguided attempt to regulate food delivery during the pandemic, which had the predictable result of cutting off regulated areas from service altogether.

You cannot let people decide these things that have no personal accountability and suffer no downside from this madness. It sure would be nice if it worked, but it doesn’t.

I would find it quite annoying to get any of those emails.

When I give you my email, it's not because I actually want to hear from you; it's because you've made it the only — or the least shady — way to sign up. I do not want to hear from you or answer your questions, especially before I've decided that I like your product and care about it.

So any such email I immediately mark as junk, and the fact that you sent it to me will go the "cons" column when evaluating your product vs the competitors.
