I'm a big mmo player, fwiw. And it's part of what got me to the conclusion that gaming has become a chore.

The devs behind World of Warcraft have spent a lot of time trying to balance "grind" with "skipping grind". Making it easier to skip the "un-fun" parts of the game; all that assuming that the un-fun parts of the game are necessary to begin with.

However, here we're just talking about game design. In the case of P2W moneygrabs, we're talking about evil behaviour.

There is a difference between countably and uncountably infinite. Countably infinite is when you have a one-to-one correspondance with the natural numbers. Uncountably infinite is when you have even more.

Note that one can come up with a proof that the number of equivalence classes should be uncountably infinite using the method of the Candor diagonalization argument.

I think some would disagree with the statement "money in politics is not significantly distorting the will of the people".

This study tries to approach the question more numerically:
https://www.princeton.edu/~mgilens/Gilens%20homepage%20mater...
I would say it is 'wrong' in the sense that there is a very different kind of 'reality' of the countable number of mathematical objects which people can name with a countable number of symbols, vs the 'real' numbers which can only be specified in the aggregate. The 'real' numbers ought to be called the 'phony' numbers or something like that.
Not sure about the view, but I don't want to be anywhere underneath if one is accidentally hit with a faulty projectile or collides with some other drone.
Typically I'm not without stimulus long enough to consciously work on development problems (when not at work), but when I do have that much time to myself it's glorious. +1 for quiet alone time.
Stunning, also good this was filmed over water. I'd hate to think what would happen if a firework took out the drone and it hit a person. From that height it would likely do some serious damage.

I'm all for commercial drones, I just hope those using them do a proper risk assessment, take steps to prevent injury to people or property and have applicable insurance.

One of the troubling aspects of the Axiom of Choice is that both affirming and denying it results in some pretty unintuitive implications (but different ones).

This MathOverflow discussion has some interesting examples of unintuitive implications of the axiom, along with a bonus answer giving examples of unintuitive implications of not having the axiom: http://mathoverflow.net/questions/20882/most-unintuitive-app...

The history of it is full of people wrestling with both sides of that, including many participants in the debate having trouble keeping their own positions consistent—the axiom of choice is equivalent to so many other things (many only discovered fairly recently) that consistently affirming or denying it has tripped up many world-class mathematicians! I am currently about 1/3 of the way through this really interesting history that tries to trace that development, Zermelo's Axiom of Choice by G.H. Moore (2013): http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0486488411/ref=as_li_tl?ie=... (ToC: http://www.apronus.com/math/zermelos.htm)

It doesn't, because of the finite number of entries. The scheme classifies sequences by an arbitrarily-large, but finite, prefix.
This was a well-written and thought-provoking post. But to say that the axiom of choice is wrong (and to give no mathematical explanation!) is a bit silly. Reading through the comments, Terry Tao gives a very nice explanation about why the author's intuition for additivity of probabilities doesn't extend to non-measurable scenarios like this one.

I have also heard many cases of terrorists being caught but most of them were simply searching on the Interner about it and some agent showed up and provided them with moral support the means and opportunity to attempt something thus becoming a terrorist. Indeed there have been many arrests. But most of then were not active terrorists before meeting with the agent. But they were terrorists in the legal sense of the term, since thinking about terrorism makes you a terrorist.
The no information is passing argument in the infinite case is wrong. After all, they all agree on a strategy, which is information they share.

I've used MongoDB quite a bit, and find it convenient. That said, it also has flaws (many has been pointed out on HN and elsewhere).

Don't use GridFS though, I'd go for S3 or similar instead.

The poverty line is a funny thing. I grew up below it; I'm talking about one set of clothes, one meal a day if I'm lucky. Still, growing up in Scotland that's hardly comparable to the likes of kids starving in other parts of the world.

If the objective is to gain by winning then losing players aren't happy. If playing it is the point then it matters less.

However most of the rip off games are chance based so playing it isn't relevant.

Don't know why you're being downvoted, this actually came to my mind as well - I'm a big fan of HDD (thanks Rich!). I don't think this study has much bearing on it though; the study focused on "the average person", who arguably does not share the same propensity for deep thought as a developer who'd be attracted to HDD.
Are you measuring a 20x slowdown with optimizations turned off? That's the only way I can reproduce your results. That's a completely meaningless comparison if so.
The study discussed here analyzes the energy debt of solar (pv):

http://news.stanford.edu/news/2013/april/pv-net-energy-04021...

It figures it will be paid by 2020 at the latest (it also figures that current solar pv energy production matches or exceeds energy consumption by panel producers).
The heuristic that worked for me was similar to 2048, but not exactly the same.

I kept all of my highest tiles on one column of the board, and always kept it filled up (so that one row was "static"), like with 2048.

The difference this time was that I mainly incremented them by rows, and would only put together three in a column to match up a row.
It's submitted because it's interesting. My point of view is that AC is neither "True" nor "False" - maths at this level isn't really about "Truth".

There are choices to make, and we make choices that are convenient and useful. The question with AC is that to make the choice that it's "true" is to allow things that seem intuitively wrong, but similarly, making the choice that AC is "false" is to prevent things that intuitively seem like they should be allowed.

This article is explaining clearly one of the consequences of choosing to accept the AC, and pointing out that, in the opinion of the author, the consequences are just too much to permit.

I particularly like the one about some vector spaces having no basis, or bases of different cardinalities (should we deny the Axiom of Choice).

I know what the author means. He is basing his intuition on this. Which is wrong, because they DO share information, as strategy is played out DURING the game, although it has been agreed upon beforehand.

If they "pass" information, then that means that if player B is after player A in line, then player B somehow gets information about the color of player A's hat. But this is demonstrably false, for the two equivalence classes are the same regardless of whether player A's hat changes colors.

I.e. information is not passed during the game from one player to another. This is different than sharing information ahead of time, and is unrelated to the author's intuition (which is confounded by the fact that the strategy is not measurable).
There were four quadcopters at the show in Westlake Village, CA last night (well, 4 at one point, I only saw 2 return). I'm pretty sure they were all DJI Phantoms based on the LED placement. They were not invisible. I wouldn't say they were a nuisance, but that's probably just because I was more curious about them than annoyed. Maybe in a few years when the novelty has warn off they will be more annoying. I don't know if they were flown by locals, by the host, or by the fireworks company. I was a bit concerned that the operators flew right over the crowd at the end which seemed unsafe and unnecessary.
For the author to say "The Axiom of Choice is Wrong" is simply shorthand for:

We make choices as to what we use as axioms in
mathematics. Having made the choices, we then
work to see what consequences we are forced to
accept. In the case of the Axiom of Choice, I
find some of the consequences unacceptable. As
a result I decide to believe that the Axiom of
Choice is not true.

Seriously, this solves a very specific and real problem and I'm happy you guys shaped it into a simple package. Two questions I have are - (1) how much does it cost (2) how is it iOS app specific (I assume it's not).
Consider this. NSA are the ones who are providing intelligence reports to the different parts of the government. They very likely employ a number of psychologist and sociologists. (I can not verify this, it's just a morbid hunch.)

What is there to prevent them from biasing (or slanting) the intelligence so that they continously keep nudging the perceptions of those reading the reports? The names for this are numerous; thought influence, advertising, even brain washing in extreme cases.

Or in other words - for the NSA, the course of society may well be what they can make the government want.

is that it's intermixed with native code via the NDK

Idiomatic use of the NDK is that you always provide Java surrogates for NDK functionality, but of course we know that isn't often the case. Instead developers can and do cross compile into a single APK. That is exactly what I do -- for my NDK components I build to x86 / ARM / MIPS (the last one I can never really justify) and it all goes into one APK. Alternately, and as a middle-grounds, I can make separate APKs for the platforms.
I think noise reduction is an important feature do pursue by drone manufacturers. Multicopters are very noisy at the moment.

No it's not. Not any more than chemistry is a philosophy or history is a philosophy.

> The only difference is that Math adds a few extra requirements in that it is required to stay internally consistent using a given system of logic (in this case, strictly Boolean logic, it's the entire reason why proof by contradiction is even possible).

Philosophy is also required to be consistent (properly, both internally and with the external world), and allows proof by contradiction without relying on strictly Boolean logic.

Your employees have probably already been screened as risk averse nerds without a social life outside of the near area. Sure, you'd monitor their movements and those of their family members, but statistically it'd be unlikely they'd move too far from a pretty boring norm. After all, they're prohibited from visiting interesting countries and are probably watched or flagged if they visit even other US states. Is it unlikely that their movements are not routinely monitored by cellular site presence and/or numberplate recognition?

I think you would target high ranking politicians... because the option to blackmail them ensures you an uninterrupted and growing black budget.

You would target communications businesses... because compromising a properly placed employee grants you access to the sum total of customer and peer communications through their networks.

You would target media... because a jump on a popular change in public sentiment is very actionable intelligence, both to multiply funding (through investments prior to predictable market response), and to further control politics.

You would target diplomats... both for tradition's sake, and because borders are the most easily grasped us-and-them (divisive) tool in the post 20th century semantic playground, giving you options for powerful public sentiment manipulation through selective media generation. However, realistically for most embassies worth their salt you'd know these groups are largely not going to do anything remotely surprising that you can pin to them through pervasive communications intelligence gathering.

Probably also, you would target multinationals, because almost all of them are doing something dodgy, somewhere, and that gives you tremendous leeway for behavioral modification.

But in reality, the majority of these can be monitored very effectively on an automated basis with near zero effort once you have full visibility of various domestic financial networks, the SWIFT international financial network, credit and debit card networks, electronic information on intended travel (passenger name records) and border crossing (whoops! I-lost-my ... new passport number, anyone?), and the public switched telephone network.

Email, social network and general web use are cute extras, and probably greatly useful just for delving in to people's character and actions, communicative profiling (grammar, typing style, languages known), interest profiling, waking hour and social network profiling (beyond just phones), etc. But I don't think it's necessary to go to that point most of the time ... the broad metrics are already available and probably extremely reliable unless people are making a concerted effort to bypass dragnet surveillance activity. (eg. By avoiding all of the above networks... damn hard these days, it would seem, for any length of time)
How is MATE not a modern and extendable DE?

Also, the assertion that GNOME 3 is extendable is funny. It's probably the least so out of the major GNU/Linux DEs, as the developers have been hellbent on pursuing "brand coherency" as of late, and in general dissuading from tampering with defaults.
