You can view Stratego as the "Cartesian product" of a public information board game and an imperfection information "card" game. The board game has much simpler local tactics than e.g. chess or checkers, although whole board tactics where 2+ high pieces are trapping 1 lower piece defended by 1+ high piece are extremely complicated to reason about.

The "card" game can be viewed as a form of Limit Poker. The bidding in poker is done with secret cards and public bets. In Stratego, you bet with your secret pieces, so it's more like a closed bid auction. But since there are only 10 moveable ranks, the range of bluffs you can pull off is rather limited compared to e.g. No Limit Poker.

Each of the "subgames" in itself are quite tractable for computers. But the numerical product of all public game states times the number of secret information states is humongous. Combine this with the fact that imperfect information game trees don't decompose as nicely as e.g. chess game trees, and computers will also not be able to divide-and-conquer their way out of the numerical complexity with brute force. Whereas humans can come a long way with heuristics.

> They all only work if there is a caloric deficit

I don't believe this is true. On keto for example, I lost weight when eating an excess of calories.

> Calories in - calories out ("CICO") is absolutely backed by science when the researchers are smart enough to actually account for known things like caloric cost of digestion (changes the "CO" part)

Not exactly. If you eat fewer calories than you burn, you'll obviously lose weight. But the reverse is not necessarily true. For that to be the case, your body would have to always store all excess calories. This is probably pretty close to what happens on a high-carb diet, though, because insulin is a fat storage hormone.
I was wondering about this too. I'm in Canada and we've been raising our rate even more aggressively than the USA. What is stopping Europe?
This is not a historic low, but a definitive low. There are several reasons for this.

- in time of a crisis, the world seems to ralley around the dollar, as it is backed by the strongest economy and the strongest military.

- this crisis has hit Europe hard, as it is not only close to the war, but of course, too dependant on Russian oil and especially gas.

- there was a lot of inflation internationally, the US federal bank was the first to raise interest to combat inflation. The EU lags behind and is limited in action due to the fear of destabilizing some of its member countries with too high of a debt.

Consequently, there is a lot of good reason for the Euro to be weak at these times. However, if the energy crisis can be solved and the war contained, a weak Euro also is also pushing exports from the EU. So there is a lot of reason for this trend to be stopped, if not reversed, until the other extreme is reached again.

I am firmly pro choice and this is stupid and doesn’t stand to two seconds of reason. Juvenile arguments like this make the debate worse for everyone involved.

Not sure about "cost to provide them" but unbundling is their game. Here are some prices (in euros):

Under the seat bag: 0

10kg checked bag (carry on size): 16
20kg checked bag (full size): 26
A bag being overweight by 1kg: 70

So they get pricey quickly if you're taking any decent amount of luggage. God help you if you don't have accurate scales at home.

That relies on the assumption that money is the sole reason to decide where to live. Even from a monetary perspective, top talent can easily earn >100k€/year in Europe too, which enables a very good lifestyle given that you have to spend way less on social services.

At least in the UK, the part of the bill that is really increasing is the Standing Charge (a charge just for being connected to the gas network). So even if you turn off your heating your bills are still going to increase.
There are physical situations that can nudge your brain's choice to make you feel hungry or not, IME. For example, I stopped eating breakfast and lunch for two years (because, I am a colossal idiot, and knew it was stupid when I did it) and it took very little time for my body to realize "feeling hungry" at noon was a fools errand, so it quickly stopped happening. I was absolutely physically hungry, seeing as I wasn't eating larger dinners, and having been about 18 hours since I last put food in my body, but habit has a large effect on your feelings of hunger if you aren't living in the wild Savannah. If my thoughts are correct, then a possible indicator would be people with wildly different "normal" times for dinner would get hungry at those different times, ie my grandparents who eat at 4 get hungry at 4 compared to someone who normally eats at 8pm getting hungry at 8pm.

I'm unsure if that "support" for my argument exists.
A weaker currency is better for exports. So Italy can export cars, or olive oil, and the foreign currency it receives will buy more euros for paying employees, local suppliers, etc.

You should really make the effort to learn the math of SR, because I believe it would help keep your reasoning a little more grounded, here. At the very least, I think it would help you understand why SR still constrains FTL, even though we do live in a GR universe, at cosmological scale.

While the larger universe does depart from SR's constraints, it does not depart from the fundamental facts that disprove the possibility of FTL. The math is more complex in GR, but the conclusion is the same: FTL isn't compatible with the reality we observe... You have to invoke some kind of hidden, unobservable, untestable dicta in order to arrive at FTL.

As for excitement... If we decide to take that approach, what's wrong with me believing in Faeries and Santa Claus, because it makes the universe more interesting?
Inflation refers to dollars buying less hamburgers.

When there's a supply constraint - not enough hamburgers to go around - the price of hamburgers goes up and as such there is inflation.

Calorie density is not something made up. You are redefining a very well-known term. Many legumes, grains, and root vegetables are made up of copious amounts of water in their prepared form.

Calorie density is also not the only metric for recommendation. Everyone agrees that liquid calories are not "felt" by the body in the same way as solid foods.

I also respect their honesty. They tell you "we get you from A to B the cheapest way", no more. Traditional airlines' ads are all about traveling in luxury, which is extremely dishonest considering 99% of their travelers experience a not-far-from-Ryanair level of comfort.

Few sparse considerations:

- WFH to be done well demand a home office, witch means a room with electricity, connectivity, A/C|heating, furniture, ... and a lockable door. This room should be offered to the company in exchange of a contracted fee and then the remote work can be done. This means not all potentially eligible for such jobs can do that in their own actual accommodations and demanding such kind of home office is a good way to make WFH a serious way to work instead of a temporary setup or a way for modern tertiary sector slavery;

- hybrid work is a NONSENSE because demand under-utilized offices and people living near enough them, double or movable gears, commuting etc. Oh hybrid does not means of course meeting sometimes to form new teams etc.

- offices are not a break to innovation are just a way to work, one needed in the past, far less needed now and being in a transitional phase habits play a bad role and that's the real break...

>The reason is simple, the truck driver didn't have any money, and the company did.

The reason is simple, but has nothing to do with what you think it does. The legal principle is known as vicarious liability which means that employers are vicariously liable for accidents arising as a result of the actions of their employees during the scope and course of employment.

You were advised to sue the company because the company was the only entity who could possibly be liable for the accident you suffered.

While I'm not into the MCU in any way, I do see that 2 of the top 10 domestic box office draws were released in the last year. The latest Thor seems to be on track to be the 10th best if opening weekend is a predictor.

So as long as the MCU can bring in 1.3 billion a shot (like the latest Spiderman) they would appear to have little incentive change what appears to be working.

Bam. Right in the kisser. This is the essence of it.
I think I'd rather put the aspect-ratio on the element that wraps the img. And then use object-fit on the img. Two reasons:

- Allows for using the img tag sizes (and srcset)

- When using sizes (w/ srcset) I don't have to worry if the image the browser picks from the srcset isn't the correct size and/or aspect ratio.
I think there are two things that could be specified here:

1. What the borrow checker protects against, and what constitutes valid code.

2. What the borrow checker can actually prove is valid code.

#2 tends to be much less than #1, because the compiler can only be so smart, and if it can't prove something correct (even if it might be correct), it takes the safe route and refuses to compile the code.

#1 is probably pretty well specified, or at least wouldn't be hard to write down if someone really wanted to. #2 is a moving target, because the borrow checker in rustc gets smarter with some releases, and compiles code that it used to reject (because it's been taught to understand that code better and can prove it correct). So it's a lot harder to specify exactly what kinds of code the borrow checker will accept and reject.

I could easily see a situation where gcc-rust claims to support all the language and stdlib features that a particular version of rustc supports, but has subtle differences in borrow checker behavior that causes it to reject some code that rustc accepts (or accept some code that rustc rejects). The behavior isn't incorrect, per se, but it would be frustrating for developers.

It's also possible there could be similar issues with lifetime analysis.
> If you dig more into Scott's beliefs, it turns out that he basically thinks that intelligence is purely genetic

That's plainly false. There is no such thing as "purely genetic". If you control for environmental factors that influence the expression of genes correlated with intelligence though, such as nutrition in childhood and exposure to certain chemicals, then the factors that determine intelligence are mostly genetic. This is just obvious. It's practically tautological to say, "all else being equal between two people, their only differences must be genetic".

Where there's some uncertainty is what environmental factors actually influence intelligence and to what extent they matter. Some people think school improves intelligence, but this isn't borne out by robust evidence; meaning, the genetic influence is much, much larger and school's effect is hard to measure.

Here's a thought experiment: if you redirected all the funding for public education to eliminating childhood poverty and food insecurity, would the resulting adults be more or less intelligent? The answer is not at all obvious. Certainly it makes for more "educated" adults by some metrics, but more intelligent adults can presumably educate themselves much better, which seriously undercuts the alleged value of schooling.

I feel it would be accurate to say that obesity is also a metabolic problem.

The difficulty with disentangling "what is obesity" is that the body is full of feedback and feed-forward mechanisms. You can look at any part of the machinery and say "here is the problem". There are a significant number of systems that deal with adiposity, hunger, and energy management and allocation.

Once we find something to blame for a problem we often stop looking. Processed carbs are not compatible with a sedentary lifestyle, that is true. But our ancestors ate carbs for generations. Many modern cultures eat carbs and don't have a big problem with obesity.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EcVa0zviOJw&list=PLFxDEp8RK4... is a C64 demo playlist, but I'm not sure it shows anything a MSX2 couldn't do either, except for much better sound. It certainly has a lot of stuff that's more visually impressive than those MSX2 games, but I suspect that's because it was made by better programmers and graphicians, not because of the limitations of the hardware.

Definitely if I'd seen stuff like those C64 demos in 01982 when the C64 came out, my reaction would have been total incredulity; it is so far beyond what I imagined computers were capable of that it would have seemed like alien technology. And that is not true of the MSX2 games. But to a significant extent that's not really about the capabilities of the computers themselves but about the SID and the VIC-II, and to a smaller extent it's about algorithms and tricks that were developed years after the C64 itself. Boogie Factor, for example, is from 02005.

MSX* demos I've seen like https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=busiDuS94qY are more visually impressive than the games linked upthread, and very impressive indeed for a Z80, but still not in the league of the C64 demos, despite having lots more RAM to work in. I suspect the anemic CPU is to blame; that demo leans on raster shears pretty hard.

Really, though, I'm more convinced by GEOS. In GEOS the C64 had a WIMP GUI with a WYSIWYG word processor with multiple proportional fonts, a pixel paint program like MacPaint, a faxing program, etc. Because what's really important is how computers increase human ability and especially how they empower human creativity, not how many colors they can show.

That sounds like a benefit to me :)

However, I think that's due to the general lack of interest in Lisp. You can see the C++ community has a similar ANSI standard and updates it every few years.

> Massive fragmentation in the compiler ecosystem

I wouldn't call it massive. They are pretty consistent, up until things like POSIX and FFI APIs. Let's agree there is some fragmentation. Isn't this still a better situation than if nothing was guaranteed?
Again, this is false. None of the things Ross was convicted of are "predicated" of a murder related act for a conviction. Murder, conspiracy for murder, solicitation for murder would be. General drug-related conspiracies in no way are predicated of something homicide or murder related for a conviction.

Right to repair has been all over the news, including mainstream news, and least in tech circles it's fairly well known. And while there are undoubtable many people who don't know what it means, the basic idea is quite obvious from just those three words: "if I bought something, I should have the ability to repair it".

The problem is that merely right to repair doesn't cover all of Free Software so it will never catch on with the hard-core FSF crowd who seem to think that the only possible step is one giant leap to a Free Software utopia and than any smaller step in that direction is "unethical".

Your suspicion is correct.

I've taught at several US universities, and it's an open secret that the administrative takes steps to manipulate numbers in order to secure better rankings.

Typical example: a small, prestigious liberal arts college always has smaller class sizes in the fall semester than in the spring semester. Why? Because classes with less than 30 students are ranked higher by US News, but they only take into consideration the fall semester. No one cares about class sizes in the spring.

That isn't the argument I was making. I was pointing out that people supporting the school closures make a host of weird and at times contradictory arguments. People will at the same time argue that in person learning isn't important, school choice is evil, children have to go to public schools, but whether or not it's over zoom or even with their teacher doesn't matter. This is to my my an incoherent set of positions, unless you view it as an argument from a labor organization trying to maximize member(public school teacher) benefits.

This is information you can easily find. Charter schools for example spend 61% of what public schools do per pupil per year on average in the US.
