Ukrainian Secretary of the National Security and Defence Council is Andriy Parubiy [1]. The guy who founded neo-nazi party in 1991 [2], together with Oleh Tyahnybok now the leader of Svoboda party [3]

Oleh Tyahnybok is on the Simon Wiesenthal neo-nazi watchlist.[4, see page 2]. And now Andriy Parubiy as national security chief is forming 60k strong national guard. And nobody is worried about it?

These guys don't need Russian media to portray them as neo-nazis. They do pretty good job themselves.

Previous innovation that I remember in sorting was Python's TimSort - it's just MergeSort with a few tweaks, but it's better than any other sort I've met when applied to real world data.
I lived in Singapore for a while last year.

Lodging and housing is indeed very expensive, I was living in a shared apartment in a university dorm and I had to pay like 1K € per month. Certainly very expensive, although not that far from what I've seen in other expensive places like some parts of Sweden or the UK.

On the other hand, food is ridiculously cheap. You can go to hawker stalls and eat a fine meal for less than 3 €. In most European countries you can't have a decent meal for less than 8 €. Damn, here in Spain I don't think I can even match the price of Singaporean hawker stalls if I buy groceries and cook myself, unless if I only eat fried eggs or pasta with tomato, and in Singapore I was eating like a king.

Transportation is outrageously expensive if you need a car, but it's rather cheap if you use public transport, which has a great coverage and is really good. I don't really see much of a reason to use a car in Singapore, except if you are a car-aholic. Even if you need to go somewhere out of reach of the subway and bus network, taxis are cheap too.

To sum up, I would say that the relatively cheap food and transportation compensate for the very expensive accomodation, and the overall result is that Singapore is rather expensive, but there definitely are more expensive places (at the very least in the north of Europe). I'm surprised that people are saying it's the most expensive city.
Really neat post, but a missed opportunity in naming it: "Basilisk" would have been quite a nice fit with both worlds ;)

>During the Cold War, a group of Russian journalists toured the United States. On the final day of their visit, they were asked by their hosts for their impressions. 'I have to tell you,' said their spokesman, 'that we were astonished to find after reading all the newspapers and watching TV, that all the opinions on all the vital issues were by and large, the same. To get that result in our country, we imprison people, we tear out their fingernails. Here, you don't have that. What's the secret? How do you do it?'[71]

> A dealer gets to keep some of that profit margin that Tesla gets 100% of right now. They then pay the dealership owner (1 job), the receptionist (2 jobs), the finance guy (3 jobs) and pay the commission to the sales guy (4 jobs) and then you bring back the car to the repair center manager (5 jobs) the mechanic (6 jobs) the car wash guy (7 jobs). There's also the sales tax on the car + the income tax for those 4 people + the consumption taxes on those people as they go about their daily lives. All those people then go out in the local economy and eat pizza and do whatever other local economic activity people do with their money. Which also generates more jobs.

Other than the dealer keeping the profit all of those jobs and people would be in NJ if there was a Telsa dealership in NJ. Now there won't be and those jobs won't exist.
If you're interested in alternative sort algorithms, you might enjoy the self-improving sort [1]. A simplified tl;dr: given inputs drawn from a particular distribution + a training phase, the result is a sort that is optimal for that particular distribution. The complexity is in terms of the entropy of the distribution, and can beat the typical worst case O(n log n) for comparison sorts.

Are you trying to argue with me? Because I haven't made any argument for or against Russia or the West in my post. I just pointed out that facts can be interpreted in different ways. That shouldn't prevent anyone from taking a stand, but it's important to know how "the truth" works.

While feminists were busy telling the world about the dire need to ban the word “bossy,” the Iraqi parliament was considering the implementation of a new law that would legalize rape, prohibit women leaving home without the permission of their husband, and legalize marriage for 9-year-olds.

“If passed, the law will apply to Iraq’s Shia Muslims, the majority of the population. Provisions include prohibiting Muslim men from marrying non-Muslim women, legalising rape inside marriage by declaring that a husband has a right to sex regardless of consent, and prohibiting women from leaving the house without their husband’s permission,” reports Breitbart.com.
The law, which has been denounced by Human Rights Watch as a violation of the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW), would also lower the age of marriage to nine years old for girls and 15 for boys.
Despite the fact that the law represents an egregious assault on women’s rights and wouldn’t look out of place in the stone age, you probably didn’t hear about it because self-proclaimed feminists were too busy concentrating on more pressing atrocities being inflicted upon women – such as people using the word “bossy”.

I can confirm these are some of the best burgers London has to offer. In addition, I recommend the "bacon jam."
That's a genius use of that offering. Great instant story.

As for the offering itself (pre-paying a large sum in advance for, essentially, free-food-for-life at a new restaurant): I wonder if that's a sane method for restaurants generally. There are two in Ogaki that I'd happily spend $1k on, but I'd worry that it would change my relationship with the owners. Being a regular at the local diner is great -- the owner comes out to greet you when you come in, you always get exactly what you like exactly the way you like it, and in general they try to make you feel like a king. I'd hate to have date night in 2019 ruined by "Patrick, you're here again? Dude, it's a Saturday night. I could sell that table. #($'#( it. Well, OK, what will it be -- the free #%(#ing burger again?"

It's not at all the same. Your example is from the ages of monarchies fighting each other through open warfare for control of land, trade routes, and slaves.

Now we live in the ages of obscure plutocrats playing a tug of war to control lucrative energy markets using discrete paramilitary tactics (CIA activities) and tight media control (MSM fear-mongering, sock puppets, 'grass-root' campains...) to rally the masses behind them.
What do you think Putin is actually doing? Are you aware that the Russian troops are there during the last 200 years and now regulated by the agreements signed in 1997 (the link is form the German international news agency):

http://www.dw.de/bound-by-treaty-russia-ukraine-and-crimea/a...

"Under the agreements, Russia was permitted to station a maximum of 25,000 troops, 132 armored combat vehicles and 24 pieces of artillery at its military facilities in Crimea."

Are you also aware that the Russians are a big part of population in Ukraine and their language appears being dropped as an official language since a few days? Don't you think that Russians in Ukraine would like to keep using their own language? Don't you think they are supposed to have human rights and that they would actually like to minimize influence of the new government on them?

I have a question though, for those who say that management is the way.
If you follow this path, what happens is that you are replaced by younger and possibly faster programmers. Naturally, as things change and progress, before long, you are going to be managing stuff you don't comprehend in their entirety.
So then, the solution is to keep studying and improving - I agree to that - but without experience on the field and with an ageing brain, I doubt you can keep up with the developments. What is your answer to this? Thanks for the thread

My approach fundamentally redefines the problem. It embodies compiler principles to precisely nail down vulnerable code, and logical inference across the app stack to uncover multi-staged attacks. The solution requires no pre-training or tuning whatsoever.

Despite the good documentation this algorithm is complex and I bet most implementations will be incorrect.

UPDATE: I could not find the article I had initially in mind but I found this one [1] showing that even prominent implementations of simple algorithms like binary search or quicksort contain bugs more often than one expects and they may even remain unnoticed for decades.

So take this as a warning - if you implement this algorithm you will almost surely fail no matter how smart you are or how many people look at your implementation.

> they can not create derivative work from it.

You can easily decompile it, and without copyright nobody can tell you want you are allowed to do with it.

> only to have the work taken by some large corporation that manages to profit from the work due to large marketing budgets, sales channels and existing customers, while the author remains uncompensated

How would you profit from the work if you can't "sell" the work? At best they could seek funding to create derivatives of the work. But this does point out a major reason copyright is broken now - in how many other disciplines do you expect compensation for finite effort for infinite time? It should be that your finite work is compensated for finite money during a fixed time period (in my examples, the development of the work).

I'd like to think you could extend plagiarism in the absence of copyright to cover all ideas - ie, you can freely modify, reproduce, or redistribute a work, as long as you aren't falsely claiming it as your own, and upon inquiry you truthfully say where it came from. That is peripheral to actual interactions with information, it is about how you present yourself in relation to them.

That's exactly why it's less "valuable" online. The fact that analytics tell you exactly how much value you get from it is the problem. Compare that to TV: you only have bullshit statistics that are honestly crap, but the allure and history is more important.

Depends on the price though.

Openness is a feature and unfortunately it has a price, and honestly I would not care about the speed or screen resolution.

I mean the lower the screen size, the more little pixels are anyways, so why care about the resolution ?

Screen size is a stupid debate. You want a large screen to browse the web, but not too large because you will use it as a phone ? And even if it's 7 inch or 5 inch, people will try to load bigger apps and it won't work. People want to browse the web on their phone and be comfortable and not look stupid. 1st world problem, as always.

I think all you can want for such a device is to post on forums, see some pictures, chat, quickly view and answer mail, read documents, but for the rest, stop complaining and find a place to sit down with your laptop.

I upvoted you because I think this is an interesting line of reasoning, but I disagree that it's a very useful one.

You seem to be implicitly defining "computation" as that which a physical computer does (machines, biological brains...). Something that literally consumes physical resources. By that logic, a Turing machine is not a computer and lambda calculus is not about computation. As I said, you could spin the semantics that way but is it useful? Does that give us useful insights?

Functions are not just syntactic notation. Functions are, by definition, mappings from set A to set B. They don't have anything to do with notation. "cos(x)" is merely a notation, yes, but not of a number but of a function. This is an important distinction. "cos(5)" evaluates to a certain number, yes, but it's not just syntactic sugar for that number. Not to mention that functions don't need to operate on sets of numbers.
Same thing here, though in the moment I'm having a hard time finding U[I|X] solutions/patterns for the webapp I'm designing, which is much harder than a theme (for me). In the sense that "now, this is organized from a database point of view, how do I make users consume and interact with it?"...

(Just looking at Facebook blows my mind when you start realizing how many tiny patterns they have for displaying more information on the screen. Things like "Jack and 13 more like your link" w/ click to expand)

It feels very different, however. It feels that while the "other" news channels are indeed pushing their point of view, most of the Russian news media is pushing something else, which is neither their point of view ("truth" as they would see it) nor particularly based on facts on the ground. There are plenty of exceptions, of course, and in any case, I am talking about perceptions.

Occam's razor is that nuclear power plants don't exist, they're just coal power plants (which already existed) with a story about nuclear power being possible. After all, do you have any idea how complicated controlled fission would have to be? It's easier if it doesn't exist.

The problem with this "theory" is that it doesn't explain all the evidence. Sure, a hijack would have to be way more complicated than a mid-air explosion, just like a nuclear power plant would have to be way more complicated.

But a complicated set of transponders turning off with sudden radio silence is exactly what happened. Plus, if it was a mid-air explosion - where are the pieces?

Well a 1000 burgers are 3 years worth of lunch. Also if you are allowed to take a few at a this is great marketing for free - telling all the colleagues - a few burgers are on me in that place. Chances to convert to a regular at least one of them is high.

Probably it is how the awards will be defined. Because kickstarter is not preorder.

Also the Kickstarter community so far has shown to be remarkably supporting. So I doubt that they will abuse the privileges that will be awarded. Also basic rule for the rewards should be that you are overpaying but you like it that way. The 1000 burgers for 1000 GBP is clearly unsustainable. But looking at the KS it seems more like a marketing stunt the high tiers. So it is probably budgeted.
