It makes sense to always communicate the best case, not the most likely expected case. If you allow worse-than-best-case to become the plan/expectation, you'll fill the time and often exceed it.

As an engineer, this feels strange, because you might expect to be trying to be as close to correct as possible when you give a date. But that's not the goal. The goal is to create a narrative and sense of purpose that gets you there as quickly as possible.

Finishing something 6 months behind schedule in 18 months is still better than doing it "only" 1 month behind schedule in 19 months. Of course, you also need a risk analysis of the worst case, and to understand the financials and be able to survive a reasonable range of potential delays.
I disagree. Nerfing classes/weapons in games still gives everyone the same toolset to work with, and more skilled players can still excel with the different toolset.

To use another games analogy, this is more like "rubber-banding" in racing games, where the pack is artificially caught up to the leader.
As did Blackberry! And countless other "innovators dilemma" examples.

Intel's a little different though. It's not like consumer sentiment has changed like in the case of the C64->PC or BB->iPhone. AMD and ARM are strong competitors but Intel is in this position because they made a major technical misstep. Maybe more like Microsoft and the Longhorn/Vista debacle. I don't think we can conclusively say Intel or even x86 can't be competitive when they get their process figured out.
Applied Computational Thinking with Python
The lack of adoption/demand for just ECC RAM by consumers would seem to be an argument in the opposing direction. (Yes, it’s not widely available currently, but I think it’s safe to safe that availability is driven by predictions about adoption given past market behavior.)
> It's the blanket statements about Jewish people that I'd call anti-semitic.

I find those inappropriate too- I think he might have gotten carried too far in making his point. However, on one hand I think it's an understandable slip: after all, Israel calls itself the Jewish homeland and often tries to extend criticism it receives to all Jews (by calling it antisemitic). This with little objection from Jews elsewhere. On the other hand, "antisemitic" is a very strong accusation: are we sure there aren't middle grounds, such as calling something inappropriate or incorrect, without associating it straight away with one of the worst mass murders in history?
NFTs have been around for years, but the first ones are not really more valuable than the new ones caught up in the current hype phase. The market cap for Crypokitties peaked at 21 million in 2017, the recent peak was at only 3 million.

We ban that sort of account, regardless of which ideology you're battling for, because it destroys what this site is supposed to be for.

> Essentially all American white people continue to materially benefit from a long history of systematic racism in America [0], including slavery, state-mandated and state-tolerated post-slavery subjugation and segregation. Heck, many living white Americans are direct beneficiaries of overt discrimination in public programs, not to mention systematic, coordinated private discrimination.

I come from a family of poor farmers in the South. I've done some genealogical digging, and thus far I've found three 16-24 year old members of my family who died in the Confederate war. We never owned slaves; service was mandatory back then, either through law or social pressure.

Approximately ~600-700,000 people died in the Civil War. This country has made sacrifices for African Americans and racial equality, more than any other country on Earth. It will never be enough.

No matter how much they give, apologize, change the rules, white Americans will never shed their "original sin." Because of my white skin, I "continue to materially benefit" from "systemic racism," and yet, where are these benefits? I come from a place riddled with opiate addicts and alcoholism. Most of the younger people don't make it out, they have to score much higher than African Americans applying to the same colleges (as do Asians).

Everyone was on board with MLK's dream of equal opportunity for all. Racial discrimination was clearly a bad idea. But, in the last 10 years or so, some people have realized that "racism" is perhaps the most powerful bludgeoning tool in the US. Now, MLK is outdated, the new movement is about racial revenge.
My comic books I've been keeping around since the 90s are feeling insulted. At least with those I can still read them if I decide to break the seal. A NFT doesn't offer that.

This spectacle is extra distressing for me personally as someone who lives in Arizona.

I live in the district that incumbent Anthony Kern ran in and lost, he has been photographed processing ballots at this "audit".

The person who ran the election in the county they are "auditing", Adrian Fontes, lost his seat in the same supposedly manipulated election.

I personally know so many people who believe the election was stolen.

I have never been so fearful for the future of my country.

The issue with Kadena is that it now become too close to the Chinese mainland, enough that it could be disabled by missile strikes.

The best thing that could be done would be to have enough range to be able to fly out from a carrier that's relatively safe from antiship missiles. But that may well become impossible anyways as antiship missile evolve.

^ You can listen to their findings and explanations. They dont' expect anything besides improving elections for the future; this is per the AZ senate.
Both are an issue. Trying to reframe all racial issues as only class issues is as dumb as trying to claim all class issues are racial in nature.

Few people who think about racism deny class has impact though. An intersectional analysis would suggest that a rich black, rich white, poor black, and poor white experience would all be different.

> Walk into a trailer park in Appalachia and talk about white privilege. See what they think.

Right, I can't tell if your argument here is that you don't think a poor Appalachian person would be up on the intersectional lingo, or you think that they can't critically analyze different kinds of privilege, or you think that they think that there's some kind of moral argument that poor white people can't also have advantages over black people and I'd feel bad talking to them about that? In any case, you're wrong.

Also you realize that Appalachia has a significant black population right, its 10% of Appalachia vs. 12% of the US population. Appalachia includes large swaths of Georgia, Alabama and Mississippi. (also it includes major metro areas in Pennsylvania, so trying to paint "Appalachia" as a rural-white-poor thing is dumb and misrepresentative of Appalachia).

Valuation is based on risk and net present value of projected profits.

It's entirely uncharted territory. There is absolutely no precedent for this. People can cite elections being invalidated for lower positions, but nothing on the level of the Presidency. A do-over for something like state senate seat is no big deal, but a new presidential election is unthinkable and probably unconstitutional as well.

Can you imagine the absolute chaos that would result if the audit was able to find enough evidence that would change the outcome? If I were a judge having to make a decision with such implications I would fear for my life. I would fear for the rule-of-law and being seen as a 21st century Roger Taney. My name would probably be listed in the Wikipedia article under "Causes of the Second American Civil War".

So here's what I predict will happen. The audit will find fraud (that's what it was designed to do here). But the amount and impact will be debatable enough such that the results are not overturned. Media outlets are not interested in making this Watergate 2.0 and they most certainly do not want Donald J. Trump back in office. They certainly do not want to give energy to conducting an audit in Georgia and giving any credibility to the Arizona audit would facilitate that. In 40 or 50 years maybe we will find the truth.
As for most things blockchain and *coin, there is most likely fraud lingering around somewhere.
Had a similar idea years ago, but thought more of a gps-located twitter. A tweets sticks to a location an can be private or public. People who use the app may have access to special deals. Monetizing in the sense of coupons. The app would incentivize people to explore and find gps-tweets.
What the U.S. calls "races" would simply be considered subcultures in the rest of the world. (Bordering on ethnicities, but not really - they're way too integrated within mainstream culture to be true ethnic subdivisions.) You can acknowledge subcultures without clinging to the absurd notion (that is, absurd to much of the civilized world) that "race" is a legitimate term at all, even for a socially and culturally-bound construct.
They are not looking to overturn presidential results. Or even local results. All this "middle talk" is just optics. It makes for good coverage.

If this was a legal case they would be doing it differently. It's not. They are using their opposition's tactics for generating support that will extend into future elections.

If they find something wrong, then they know what to fix. If not, they pivot.

The outrage over how the audit is being conducting is expected. They want this to be covered by outlets such as NPR.
I disagree. Apple has a more diversified portfolio of business — they don’t need to go down the rabbit hole as deep as Google or Facebook to get value.

Think of early Google… they made billions off of keyword advertising before they integrated things like mapping and created a surveillance network. I think a lot of that was driven by walled gardens like Facebook killing the open web.

My guess is that Apple could leverage their relationship with customers and trust in them to sell a premium ad product with coarser targeting or for certain categories. They could do ad placement in apps, for example, or combine ad placement with one click purchasing.
Source on sizable minority? Also the greater world, outside of school, provides just as much torture and hardship as there is within our schools. I’m not condoning bullying or normalizing being bullied (I was) but there’s something to be said about learning how horrible people can be to prepare for the real world, where they are even more horrible.
Does anyoone find it interesting that the expert (Matt Masterson) is a Democrat appointed by the Obama Administration?

Maybe we should get a an International organization to certify the results so we don't have either political party involved in the outcome.

Here is another problem, NPR is the source. I think it's safe to say they will always draw on experts that support their narrative (and that's ok). If I posted a FOX News report with a Republican Expert, would that be ok?

There is nothing wrong with making sure the results were accurate and correct (in a unbiased way), just like there is nothing wrong with requiring an ID that is recognized by the Government to be able to cast a vote in this country.
A common type of writing for newsletters, articles, and presentations is to use a meme image of some type every couple of paragraphs.

This seems like a good method for doing that. Save time picking out 'the perfect meme' because a random meme will probably be just as good.
Have you compared the approaches? I learned with epsilon delta, but I would be interested in seeing data about learning outcomes with alternative approaches.

In my experience, epsilon delta understanding was pretty much unrelated to passing calculus, where tests consisted of formula/substitution crunching.
Everyone in the homeschooling group my family attends generally pays for material, and then supplements with things that are free(ish).

It is true that there is no closed form expressions for the sum of two independent log normal distributions. However, like I said, good approximations exist. Moreover, if you were to ask me to compute some expectation E[f(X)] where X is the sum of independent one-dimensional log-normals, it seems simplest to convolve the densities and simply compute the expectation by trapezoidal integration.
There isn't much development going on anyway. The old boys have clawed back their power and aren't doing much apart from protecting their positions at various corporations.

Reality Show Is an Oxymoron
But Action Comics number 2 is still tremendously valuable. In the Golden Age of comics, collecting comic books and preserving them was not the hobby it would become. So there are very few copies today, but not because anyone set out to make them scarce in any way. Quite the contrary, in fact. DC would surely have printed many more copies if they believed they would have sold.

How is this at all like NFTs again?
AI Won’t Master Human Language Anytime Soon
This was the book my 1st sem. calculus class used in 1986, at UW-Madison (where the link is hosted and where the author presumably teaches). I remember it as providing a fairly gentle introduction to differentiation, providing a stepping-stone to more traditional notions of limits later on.

I was just thinking the other day about how enjoyable I found learning calculus, compared to what others tend to report. Perhaps this book was part of the story -- very cool that it is being provided free of charge now!
I believe that people should be treated as individuals, not collectivized into groups based on immutable characteristics like ethnicity.

I believe that while "reverse-discrimination" has become commonplace in the name of diversity, it is unfair, divisive, counterproductive, and illegal under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.

I'm not accusing you of making this argument, but the assumption that a particular ethnic group can't compete on a level playing field is deeply condescending towards those groups. It's "the soft bigotry of low expectations".

They do!

But their lifespan is way shorter and their number is way higher; which means way more feedback from darwinistic evolution.

To me it means their 'intelligent' behavior should be much more a function of being hardcoded in the neuron layout at the genetic level than being in a generic intelligent meat processor at an emergent level.

Much like ASICs vs CPUs.
And that's where propaganda/advertising come in. It's not just red vs. blue politics, there's brainwashing in effect in the consumer market and about economics/taxation/education as well.

Is there a way to actually link the NFT to the thing the NFT is supposedly tied to?
