When you set a minimum standard, something that could have been bought for less that didn't meet that standard will no longer be an alternative. So some people will have something better and others will not have an option that they once did.
Seems the causation is reversed.

Take Section 9 housing. Originally, it was setup for everyone to live in, with the idea that tenants would have the skill to maintain their housing,and local governments would provide funding.

However, what happened is that suburbs got built and setup rules so only whites could get loans & move there. The feds dramatically subsidized building these suburbs (billions in roads, sewage, etc), so the buying cost for houses in suburbia was massively low relative to true cost. So the whites moved to the suburbs on the basis of good personal economics (via gov subsidy and cheap credit) and good marketing (suburb developers sold the dream).

The suburbs thus became politically powerful (white & somewhat wealthy now, bc of subsidized housing). Suburbs didn't want (and still don't) want to pay for city expenses, but since suburbs are generally part of the same municipality, they could use their political power to cripple inner city services. Which they did.

Then the urbanites (mostly not white, bc suburbs where racially zoned) gradually became destitute as businesses couldn't survive without adequate services. And with destitution we see the rise of homelessness, drugs, etc that you rightfully point out.

Seems like it's high time to recognize the calamitous mistake and fix it
>Only occasionally did the series fully deliver on its initial promise of using Noah’s outsider’s gaze to satirize America.

The issue I had with Noah on the daily show was that criticism and satire from an outside comes across completely different than from an insider.

Stewart and Colbert were insiders, so when they satirized the US, there was a level of self-deprecation, and the idea that we are going through through this absurd madness together.

Because Noah didn't have this shared identity with the viewer, the satire generally fell flat and came across as mere ridicule.
Internet infrastructure regulation varies quite dramatically across the developed world. Canada, Germany, Switzerland, etc., do not “treat the Internet like a utility” for the most part.

Also, “treating Internet like a utility” actually means a “corporate monopoly” nearly everywhere. The situation in the UK is very similar to the situation in much of the northeast US. You have a former monopoly provider (there BT, here Verizon) that is a private company that was incentivized to build out fiber. Its like PG&E in California, not like your municipal water or sewer service.

Mega.co.nz uses that to hide the decryption key for almost decade. You share links but Mega never knows your key because fragment hash is never sent to server or in referrer. Encrypted files are stored on Mega servers but the decryption occurs in JS on the client side, files are decrypted into temporary JS Blob objects in browser then you save them aka "download" locally... a lot of clever tech there. https://help.mega.io/security/data-protection/end-to-end-enc...

Yeah absolutely! Hard to say anything with conviction at this point.

Anecdotally, many friends and I played religiously from middle school through college. Nearly all of them have stopped, most have sold their cards. Of course, we got older/more busy during that time, but we also have more disposable income (and chose not to spend it on cards). So, it certainly feels like my sphere has left, personally.

Deliberation is the easier first step, actually passing it is harder and comes later. I think the correct use of the idiom here would be "the Senate was never going to deliberate on it, much less pass it".
Come on now, surely you know that when Europeans compare 'the rest of the world' to America, 'the rest of the world' is a slang term that means "Europe".
Surely this changes depending on the individual giving/receiving? Regardless of intent you have people who would prize both.

I've never worked in a place that had them, but I do know an individual who views it as a source of pride to collect as much as possible from peer bonuses. According to him it's not about the money, it just helps ease impostor syndrome since it's quantifiable and therefore suddenly the only "real" feedback he gets. Since it's quantifiable it renders any soft feedback he gets from his manager worthless in comparison.

Not saying that's common, just saying that's just one of what must be many many interpretations of the incentive structure.

FWIW general game mechanics are not copyrightable. So you don't need a license for core ideas like AC, character attributes, D20 skill/attack/save rolls, modifiers, advantage/disadvantage, equiptment yadda yadda.

It's the specifics of D&D's implementation where you need a license. You'd certainly need to develop your own feats, spells (and not just change the names!). You'd need new classes, or at least major changes (no re-using the level progressions or traits).

You'd need to play test the new variants because changes would be large enough to require new balncing.

All in all not a trivial modification.

The video talks about shooting electrons rather than photons through the slits. Does it matter what kind of particle you shoot through? If I fired a stream of hydrogen atoms or neutrons through the slit, would I get an interference pattern?

I’ve also always wondered if it matters what side of the slits the detector is on? The experiment as depicted in that video has the detector on the gun side of the slits. Would you get the same thing if you moved it to the wall side of the slits? Also, does the wall itself count as a detector/observer?
FWIW, a filter pack has around 300 filters last time I checked. You'll have a bit of headroom.

> How big? Big enough to disregard?

Yes, pretty much. 400 people are electrocuted in the US every year, usually in industrial situations. Thousands of people will get shocked today. The odds of a heart problem are low enough that suggesting people should be terrified of light sockets because it may stop their heart is just fearmongering, and reduces the effectiveness of other safety-related communication.

> Or can they really revoke that licensing on previously published content?

It depends entirely on your definition of "can".

If you mean, is this action supported by law, then no. If you mean, is this action supported by WotC's own historic interpretation of their own license, then no. If you mean, can they force the hand of smaller creators by threat of litigation, then certainly they can.

My personal attitude has always been that you should loan money without the expectation that it be returned. You can't be let down if you had no expectations to begin with.
Ah, the OGL is just core mechanics?

I cannot imagine this being a big hurdle to videogames from now on, then. It's not that difficult to use entirely different mechanics in a computer RPG, and they had the details anyway. If the world/setting doesn't matter, I can't see how this can affect videogames not set in D&D worlds.

That is, I don't see video gamers rejecting a CRPG because its rules are not based on D&D. They'll get to kill monsters or whatever in Fantasyland, what does it matter that the inner workings are entirely new?
French press I would not recommend. You get a lot of unhealthy oils normally removed by a paper filter. After my coffee maker broke, I ran with french press (about 6 cups a day) for 2 months and it made me feel unhealthy after a while.

That's what very good illusionists want you to think.
OP asked for foundational, and I provided _foundational_. In my opinion, everyone should start from some sound foundations in LinAlg and Calculus.

Here are a couple of errors that stem from a single foundational problem:

- a linear regressor can not be more than the number of datapoints

- dimensionality reduction when you have NxM with M > N is bogus and you need a bigger dataset to do anything meaningful other than clustering

- input dimension of output layer is larger than the number of samples

The underlying issue in all of these is the rank nullity theorem which is pretty foundational for ML, and yet many practitioners don't know about it or haven't made the connection.

I am not expressing that you should have gone through Spivak or build bottom up. There are books like mathematics of ML that condense everything you need, giving you a decent enough foundation for what you will need.

> doesn't this allocate 1<<p upfront though

Yes, it does. The idea (see the last code snipped in that post), is that the user delays the creation of the HLL until they are ready to switch to a dense representation. Before then, they just use a std.AutoHashMap directly.

Or, alternatively, the HLL could use the same buffer for both dense and sparse representation (see the Redis code).
How do you fix it without harming yourself. It’s a prisoners dilemma every person is optimizing for themselves and the individual maximum is burbs. Collective maximum is urban but I see no way to get there in a democratic society.

Right now the burbs are able to zone out or otherwise not have to deal with homeless, poverty, subsidized households, and lock in local tax revenue to high earners. As such burbs are the only good individual choice

Any Turing machine can superficially behave like a non-deterministic Turing machine, you just have to bite the bullet and brute force the solution in exponential time or use an exponential amount of processing units. But this exactly what separates the two types of machines, requiring or not requiring an exponential amount of resources. So when I said they can be superficially similar, that actually means they are not similar, as the one thing we ignore - the required resources - is exactly the one thing that separates them.

So I think saying DNA computation can behave like a non-deterministic Turing machine is only true in the same sense that a deterministic Turing machine can behave like a non-deterministic Turing machine, i.e. not very true. The difference is the trad-off - exponentially slower vs exponentially more processing units - and there might be some use for this if you have, for some n, enough room for exponentially many DNA molecules but not enough time to wait for exponentially many clock cycles.

The primary advantage of a DNA computer might be that you can make use of all three dimensions while processors are mostly limited to two dimensions. I did not read the paper you linked to, but the DNA computations I have seen where all very slow processes, so at least in those cases I have seen, the DNA computation has to make good for many orders of magnitude of processing speed in terms of parallelism before there is even the possibility of an advantage.
The article you provide a link to is the review I linked to (and that article mentions that Heisenberg was partial to the hylomorphist view of QM).

> Given the documented failures of common sense in mathematics and physics [...], why should anyone think common sense is a reliable metric to how things are?

I think the most serious objection is that categorical dismissal of common sense is a form of skepticism, and as a consequence, you undermine the very claims you are appealing to. All science takes place within a context and that context is going to be common sense, ultimately; the alternative is some truncation or corruption of it. So you might as well own it and own it to the fullest. All skepticisms suffer from the same problem, namely, the strange belief that you can know something while undermining the very conditions possibility of knowing it.

Note that by "common sense", we mostly mean that we take the human apprehension of the world as basically accurate, even if it is fuzzy around the edges or needs correction or refinement [0]. So at the very least, I think that the presumption is in favor of common sense. Your question does not provide a reason for doubting common sense categorically or even rejecting common sense interpretations of QM. It is a better idea to engage with the proposed interpretation, to understand it, and make specific criticisms instead.

I think Critical Role is in no danger of them “going after” them as there are officially licensed Critical Role books and miniatures.

I’d imagine they’re wanting to get a cut of whatever money Paizo, and Kobold Gaming Press, or the D&D miniatures and books kickstarters that regularly raise hundreds of thousands of dollars.
So, the exact wording of the license includes a clause saying you can distribute under "any authorized version" of the OGL.

I dont think people expected wizard's to try and interpretation that as something they can try and revoke. But they are trying and it might go to court.
