A leaderboard wouldn't be meaningful -- Client-side code isn't secure, and people could set scores to whatever they like. Or, just for fun, I played with the page a bit via dev tools, added in a script to automatically calculate the answer, put it in the input, and trigger the keyup event to run their submit function... worked great.

There is nothing wrong with client-side tools. I have a few on my site that get decent usage. But unless you put some security and validation on the server-side, any data coming back is not trustworthy.
I know TREC-KBA was (initially) part of Project Archer [1] from the Data
Science Research (DSR) group [2] at University of Florida. The group
does have a listing of their published and upcoming research papers [3].
Their publications list has links for some, but not all, of the papers.
Typically, if you search on the paper title within quotes, and append a
simple "filetype:pdf" you'll usually find it somewhere [4].

Peeping into someone's window is bad because it is trespassing and harassment.

Pictures do not passively "leak" online. Someone goes to the trouble of posting them. If that person didn't have permission to do so, they are the guilty party, not some random person who happens to see the picture, not even knowing who that picture is of.

This is the same as if the peeping tom snapped photos, and then shared them. You're not automatically a wrongdoer just because you see such a thing.

Pictures leaked before we had the Internet. Hello? We had scandals revolving around leaked photographs of famous people decades prior. Paparazzi also existed long before the Internet.

This is an idea I've toyed with for a while, I called it 'prototype electronics' where the 'store' part had inventory that was known to work together so that projects could be designed, built, and sourced out of the store parts. (this was true early in the RS era as well of course)

There are some annoying liability (ie expensive) issues with letting minors operate soldering irons on the premises or while using solder that has lead in it. But mostly people just don't go out. So when you look at the probability of having enough "customers" you find you need a really large population base while maintaining a very small foot print. New York comes to mind or London. Hard to scale it to more spread out places.
Read your second question again. It says that the host shows a goat. Then asks if you would switch. Yes, you would switch.

I understand what you were trying to ask but you worded the second question wrong. You can't tell the listener that the host picks a goat. That defeats the purpose of the "randomness" which is meaningless since we know the host picks a door with a goat.
This seems a ridiculous idea at first blush but on reflection I think it can work, and well. Too bad there's no button to sign up.
Did I ever say it makes it alright? All I asked for was given how Modi is hailed for his "Administrative skills" should he have swung into action contained the riots and brought the criminals to justice.

Isn't that what we expect from our elected officials than a horrific free-for-all?
Let's suppose we are doing a computer simulation.

1. We simulate a million trials where the contestant chooses one of three door, one of which has a car and two a goat

2. We simulate the host randomly choosing one of the remaining doors to open.

3. We discard all trials that resulted in a car. We are left with the number of trials that resulted in a goat and store that number in a variable 'total'

4. In the remaining trails we switch and reveal what was behind the door. We store the number of times we saw a car in a variable called 'wins'.

5. The probability of winning after switching is 'wins' / 'total'

It doesn't matter how many times the host shows a car because those trials are discarded.
Start by reading the open issues, choose one you want to tackle and try fixing it. Code structure can be confusing and hard to understand, consider contacting contributors and asking them questions you have. Rinse, repeat.

Another good idea is to browse through the closed PRs, including the code's diff tab. Communication there has evidence on how friendly and helpful the maintainers are, what are some easy contributions you can make and so on.

Let me qualify that I'm an American Born Confused Desi (born of Hindu parents). I never quite understand why ANY Hindus should get upset when our religious/philosophical texts are scrutinized and contextualized. Of course, all interpretations are subjective. But if nothing else we should all embrace the notion that there is no such thing as a Hindu heretic or apostate. What matters (and has always mattered) is how we live and act. As such, I would emphasize that it is also important to keep an open respectful dialogue without alienating people from the discussion.

WRITE THE SIMULATION
I don't know if the problem is trivial to solve, but designing a system which engages one element of the problem is trivial. The part that I was focusing on, was ensuring that any paper that claims to be Reviewed by a scientist actually was reviewed by that scientist.
Actually I think that even a lot of CPU intensive tasks could run on Node. Split them into smaller tasks (which you probably have to do anyway if you want to use multiple threads with another language) and run those as promises. Of course js is bad for most numerical calculation but for some things it might work. Or combine it with Dart or Asm.js.
I suspect he was. I used to take Radio Shack R/C cars and re-purpose them into robots. The best ones used treads as that would allow for differential steering which was much easier on the inverse kinematics than the front wheel steering. And Radio Shack always had a 'closeout/clearance' junk table that said R/C cars would end up on.

That experience lead me to understand that a common failure mode was that the radio receiver circuit had some tuning caps on it that would get jostled about, causing the car to cease responding. Not sure why they went with trim caps other than it meant everything else could be wider tolerances if they just tuned it once fully assembled. It did lead to a lot of fallout though.

The story isn't for them though, they already know all about it.

Is the relevance to the readership that matters and Yahoo is still better known than Netflix in the general populace.
Man the number of people suggesting it matters whether the host knows or not makes my head hurt. It doesn't. The problem is equivalent to "given that the host reveals a goat and you swap doors, what is the probability you get the prize". This will be 2/3. Whether the host knows or not is irrelevant.

There are only 2 possible paths in the problem:
Path 1: you originally picked a goat (p = 2/3), now you swap and get the prize

Path 2: you orinally picked the prize (p = 1/3), now you swap and get nothing

This depends in no way on the host having knowledge.

I worked at Radio Shack.

I was in high school and lived with my folks. I had almost no expenses. It didn't occur to me until much later what a bummer it all was.

- You get paid commission, something like 1% per sale. Commission was pointless because almost everyone already knew what they needed (AA batteries or a headphone adapter...).

- If your commission didn't add up to minimum wage, you got minimum wage. Since it was nearly impossible to sell $800/hr at Radio Shack, everyone made minimum wage.

- There was a computer screen in the back room that showed a leaderboard of on-duty employees, and how much each sold for the day in real-time. So even though everyone was making minimum wage, the employees were pitted against each other. This made every employee your enemy.

- If somehow you made a commission for the day, when the item was ever returned, they dock the commission from your next paycheck. So you ended up making less than minimum wage.
Did you actually write that simulation? Because once up on a time (many years ago) I followed the same line of reasoning, wrote a simulation to show that I was right, and that simulation showed me I was wrong.

If the host picks randomly and you discard rounds with a car, your odds switching are 50/50. If the host uses knowledge of where the car is to definitely reveal a goat, your odds switching are better.

Others consider programmers underpaid, even at these salaries. This makes some sense when considering that Google has a revenue of around $500k/employee (saw this number a while ago in a comment, don't remember exactly which one).

> Now it peddles cell phones and overly prices things -- I recall needing a battery for my cordless phone recently, they wanted $23 for a battery for a $50 phone?

Radio Shack always did that -- especially on batteries. High margins on things like batteries is what provided the cash flow that paid for the floor space devoted to more unique things that sold less but brought in customers who bought the batteries.

The problem Radio Shack has now is that with the internet and big-box electronics stores, RS's dinky stores aren't particularly great places for hobbyists (and wouldn't be even if they devoted more of their floor space to them), and they don't have a competitive selection of mass market goods either, so the basic format doesn't work.

Net non-neutrality used to overcome severe data caps so some poor buggers can browse the Wikipedia?

This really sounds like trying to add one wrong to another to try to make a right.

This really confuses issues too; metered access to a network isn't quite the same thing as non-neutral access where some content gets much better latency and bandwidth.

Cutting off access to all sources of content at a given data cap does in fact meet the definition of neutral: No Netflix for you, and no Usenet, no Skype, no IRC, no git, no ssh, ...

Data caps in fact hurt the high-bandwidth premium services that easily bust data caps, whose purveyors support non-neutrality.
Don't want to prompt unneccesary debate, but her understanding of Gandhi and his assessment of the Gita is incomplete. Gandhi has written explicitly about (what she calls) the "warrior Gita". Moreover, her demarcation of the "Two Gitas" is something not a lot of people would agree with.

Personally, I've read a lot of commentaries and evaluations of the book, including the orignal, and I've found Gandhi's version to be the most powerful.

How does it depend on that? When you express an argument as an analogy without further explanation you lose a lot of information.

> Does tmux "certainly" emulate a terminal, given that I can't observe any of the output or send it any input without assistance from another terminal emulator, like st?

It "certainly" emulates terminals in that it behaves like one to the user and to programs that use it as a terminal, just like xterm or st. Whether the platform it uses for presenting this to the user is X11 or a terminal/another terminal emulator seems irrelevant to me.

> The init system is like a "process multiplexer".

It isn't a process multiplexer. How is it "like" a process multiplexer? init maybe starts a bunch of processes, but it doesn't do any multiplexing or even manage their communication at all.

> Likewise, when we start a terminal emulator we can run bash to get a single shell session, or we can run a multiplexer to get many.

You don't need to use a terminal multiplexer to have multiple shell sessions.

Unfortunately, little if any of the development is ported in the direction Dragonfly -> FreeBSD.

The last time somebody tried porting HAMMERFS it was discovered that the systems are already divergent enough that it would be a huge job because to stay true to form, other Dragonfly's systems upon which HAMMERFS is built would also need to be ported, and as such systems include such basic stuff as the threading model, the effort was abandoned.
Seems bad. Generally you don't want to release out information like that, no.
'Most stable' in the sense that both NPM and Bower are quite reliable.

'That's likely, though it's honestly got the same things as every other programming ecosystem'

I disagree on this point because dependency systems like Gems (for Ruby) and PIP (for Python) are miles behind NPM and Bower.

I'm also not aware of popular task runners on other programming languages in the same way Grunt or Gulp are.

Perl isn't a language I know well so I can't argue on that.

By 'Most evolved' I didn't mean Node.js but really the NPM / Bower module ecosystem. You rarely if ever have to write something from scratch due tu a lack of plugins.

I agree with you thought that thanks to V8, JavaScript has a performance level that is close to compiled, lower level code.
Those scenarios are far from implausible. Comments on HN in the tune of, "Lamport is so lame I can knock out a better markup language that runs on Node in 15 minutes. Did he do anything else" are not hard to find.

Then there would be those that go the other way, "Paxos may be nice and all for ivory towers LOL but can he write a line of code."

The other target is Dijkstra, "Dijkstra is an ass, did he do anything else other than that stupid algorithm that I could have come up with in my sleep. Proof of correctness is all fine and dandy, can he code ?"

These are not actual quotes of course but grounded enough in reality. As they say ignorance is bliss, or at least enough shelter from the irony of it.

> The probability of the host showing a goat in both cases is 1.

Are you familiar with the concept of prior probability? The premise of the meta-riddle is that both hosts showed a goat, but one host could have not shown a goat. So there must be a difference in the information conveyed by that goat.

Again, there isn't anything special about this problem, it's just how probabilities work. Respectfully-- there are a number of different people trying to explain this to you in different ways, and you can verify it on Wikipedia. Are you positive you do understand the math?
I don't think more code will be a big problem for javascript. It seems to mostly affect start up time. Look at the asm.js tests with Massive. Also think about all js projects that use anywhere from 10 000 lince of code (LOC) to 100 000 LOC. I haven't heard anyone saying that the runtime got into any problem. There is always some problems with organizing that amount of code but that is true in almost any language. And javascript is actually quite effective to write in meaning a js program is probably much shorter than the same program in Java (at least before Java 8).

http://kripken.github.io/Massive/

I just remembered that there are demos of Unreal Engine running in js with a lot of LOC and fast performance.
While such generic calls to decorum are always welcome, the specific issue here is that Doniger seems to be selectively and willfully misinterpreting the text to advance her own agenda. Most prominently, she declaims the Gita as a warlike-text, ignoring the clear context of the Mahabharata that war is inevitable in this situation when all attempts at a peaceful resolution have been rebuffed. (see https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8664662)

One may adopt a position of Gandhian non-violence and say that war is not justified even in that context, thus disagreeing with the philosophy of the Mahabharata, and that is OK, but misrepresenting the text is not.

I grew up loving my visits to Radio Shack for hobby electronics when I was a kid. It seemed like a place that would be a straight up dream job. Eventually, I worked at a Radio Shack up in Canada to pay for University and I felt the pain of this stupid competition with your coworkers to make $1 more in pay day to day only to have someone return some high commission item days later and put you on the shit list again. If the commission went into negative territory where I live, they still had to pay minimum wage. Commissions were just a bonus and usually only available during Christmas when the malls are busy. I usually went for the "spiffs," which were some kind of payout based on selling special/discontinued goods and often paid better than having to stretch to a 2000-3000 revenue day. Ahh retail. Don't miss it.
There are two separate things here. First, the premise of the riddle. Second, the procedure of the game show (as fictionalized within the riddle).

If "... and shows you a goat" is a part of the procedure of the game show, there is additional information imparted by the host's selection compared to the situation where "... and shows you a goat" is an artifact of the particular play through the game that is being described in the riddle and the procedure by which that situation was arrived at did not incorporate knowledge of where the car was.
