How is getting rid of the electoral college going to solve the problems you identify above? You do realize that it only affects the election of the president and vp? Do we imagine that lobbyists will be unable to adjust to a world in which those two positions are elected in a slightly different manner? All this true-though-trivial "every vote should matter" stuff is just the sort of distraction from reality that lobbyists love.
I imagine being told that a problem is unsolved changes the way you approach it. You'll assume that 'obvious' things have been tried before. Without that psychological barrier you can try out ideas that are obvious to you that might not have occurred to anyone yet. Telling someone that a problem is unsolved implies they won't be able to solve it unless they're better than all the people who've approached it before in some way. That isn't necessarily true; "better" doesn't really apply at the level of people attempting these problems.

Some of the hacks on the eve client you would not believe they were very impressive and who knows what some of these alliances are running now

Now EvE servers (as all MMOs should) log every request from the client but this little hack went for 6 months without it being caught. They used the internal web-server in eve to stream a copy of their display to a website. This is 2005 maybe a little later. I guess now adays this is not that impressive and stuff but 2005 it was so useful.

The idea was that we could have one 'page' where we would collect the feeds from different scouts. It worked

CCP banned the developer once they caught it, they were rather reasonable, if he wanted to reinstate his account they wanted copy of his code. They then told him what rules it broke and even recommended how he can make changes to his code to stop the violation. They were really rather good about it.

The line was at the time that you could modify the client as long as you did not modify the way it handles data between the server and the client.

Miss eve :( but it becomes life

This is interesting considering that the UK providers generally provide more data to users for less money than US providers (with quite a few offering unlimited).

Hi! I work for Financial Times.

We've started experimenting with First Click Free — soon you'll get one article a day for free if you come from Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn or Reddit.

We'd like to let Google index more of our content (which will require allowing First Click Free from Google as well), but that depends on our other efforts, such as launch of a redesigned desktop site (you should try the beta, it's pretty cool) and technology changes behind mobile sites.

Of course we'll keep First Click Free if it leads to more readers subscribing rather than just faking referrers.
This is really cool, here's my rate: $272.6/hr

>> And you are conflating anti-feminism with misogyny.

No, I'm not, in fact I'm explicitly and deliberately not doing that, as I said here -

"I'll concede that a lot of outspoken feminists often try to intentionally confuse this issue as well, painting anyone who disagrees with any facet of feminism, no matter how extreme, as being misogynist."

>> Feminism can't be natural ally of mens' rights because it is actively pushing against it.

I disagree.

--edit--
In fact I disagree entirely, there's no reason at all that a mens rights movement could not exist to push the issues you call out, and work alongside a feminist movement working on feminist issues. Women campaigning for greater access to the workplace, and against street harassment, are not in opposition to men wanting greater access to their children. This is what I mean by natural allies.

The idea that they are necessarily in opposition is childish.
POWER8 was alive?

It's not offensive. Of course it's not. It's just blatantly incorrect. Your taking a group of 4 countries + some islands and referring to them by one of the 4 countries names. It'll confuse people. They now have to think: when he says 'England' does he actually mean England - which would be the obvious meaning - or is he one of those people that has no understanding of geography and is actually referring to a group of several countries? If you refuse to use the correct terminology, even when you are very obviously wrong, you're just confusing people unnecessarily.

Only partially related, but still: some friends are working on a game in which you play as a "banker" from middle ages until modern times.

So you think that the ability to execute a large project successfully implies nothing about the quality of the tools used to implement the project? I disagree.

At no point have I made a relative statement about Go being better than another language. The only claim I would ever make is that Go is well designed and effective for certain tasks, as demonstrated by use (validated by investment, which we can accept if we assume rational investors -- not going to debate that).

Now the claim that started this was that Go authors are greenfield celebrity programmers and they don't spend their time in the trenches (as indicated by certain parts of the language that some people - usually from "enterprise" languages - don't like; heavily and unapologetically paraphrased). That statement is asinine when you consider the background of the authors and the projects they've been involved in over their collectively lengthy careers.
Calling it a kingdom is also wrong. It has only a queen, not a king. But really, I'd be surprised if any typical person outside of UK knew the difference. I'm a British citizen (of the 1st kind) but had no idea till now that Northern Ireland is not part of Britain! Let's all just call it England because that's so common already.
It's a good question! Indeed Google has virtual tours on many museums. However 360CarMuseum is a specialized service for those who are interested in automotive history. We go deeper than Google and besides virtual tour we give our visitors additional information about any exhibit in museums, we have additional photos and videos for each exhibit. Moreover, Google make virtual tours on major and massive national museums and 360CarMuseum goes to private collections and small museums which are hidden from massive flow of people.

I disagree - in my experience the "answer getting" mentality is the largest barrier to doing "proper" math that there is. The students are unwilling to just try stuff to see what happens, because they think there's one way to do it, and one answer to find. They think they need to find the right process, apply it without making any stupid errors, get the answer, and move on.

That's a huge problem when you've trying to teach them about proofs, and kicking them out of that mentality is the biggest challenge in first year under-grad. This idea of letting them work for a limited time on an unsolved problem seems a useful approach to changing their attitude.
After my teenage son manage to run up £389 pounds of calls in one month on a package with "Free" calls I've been a bit wary of "Free" anything... :-)

Mind you was all my fault - when he got his phone he didn't make calls, ever, so I didn't pay attention in the shop when they explained what "free" meant. However, teenage behaviour changes drastically at various points and suddenly vast amounts of calls were being made to girls...
I have a MacKeeper related question: are apps such as this (cleaners, antivirus etc.) necessary for Mac computers? Judging by the number of users affected by this, there are a lot of people thinking they do need it, I guess.
What, you call that a waste of time?
There have been plenty of these sorts of MVNOs in the past. For example, Ovivo tried to stay afloat by offering subscription plans above its free tiers. Still went bust.

When something is free there will always be huge uptake of it (see also: NHS). Some people will even get around the limits by having a collection of SIMs rather than pay for using the service (just like people will wait to go to the local GP to get an item for their child free on a prescription rather than get it for £2 from any pharmacy).

Maybe. There were several I tried that were horrible and only one I liked.

Most drug trials are 30-90 days. I haven't seen a study that tracked drug vs. placebo over years/decades.

In only 30-90 days, drug withdrawal can cause placebos to seem worse, if a patient switches from drug to placebo during the experiment.
Not related to this article so you're right to call it out, but a side point: psychedelics are a class of psychiatric drug.
It doesn't confuse people.

This distinction has traditionally never been very important in Germany, so people didn't habitually make the distinction.

That's exactly the point: you have no idea about usage and connotations in German, but still consider yourself an expert who should have the power to prescribe a foreign language.

As an aside: we're also lumping together (dancing) balls and (foot)balls. And lots of other things.

And how do we survive that? Context.
The gemstone industry's approach to this is to call mined gemstones "real gemstones" or "natural gemstones" and ones made in a lab "synthetic gemstones". This leads the general public to believe that lab-created stones are somehow artificial or fake, like leather-imitation vinyl.
Seeing who downvoted you sounds like a good idea. Spending karma to downvote however - I see your point, but trolls or noise still needs to be punished, not sure people would still do that enough.

I don't agree with your "argument from authority" though - even pg can be wrong sometimes...
The Chun Li comparison reminds me a lot of the messy transition between 2D and 3D of games like Final Fantasy and Mortal Kombat.

In Mortal Kombat, the typical shaolin monk character has a typical "shoot fireball" special move. In the latest SNES game, a badass dragon made of fire shoots out of his hand and explodes on contact with the enemy. In the next game, for the PlayStation, it looks like he is flinging a flaming turd at his opponent. Final Fantasy had similar problems in the transition from awesome 2D (FFVI) to awful 3D (FFVII).

Both Mortal Kombat and Final Fantasy eventually got 3D high definition graphics right, in my opinion. I hope eventually the artists will be as good and as experienced at making 3D art as they were at making 2D art in the SNES era.
Well, that's what I get... I try really hard to keep it civil, to address your comments honestly (even though I was tempted to ask you if you ever met any people, so disconnected from reality your ideas seemed), and in return I get this pathetic piece of ad hominem. Shame on you.
No, that's the option they didn't chose.

Half of your post answers someone else points.

>>> that doesn't automatically mean it's a bad thing.

>> Penal code begs to differ.

> It's well known on the Internet (at least) that legal and illegal aren't the definitions of good and bad.

Its well known among lawyers that things that are in Penal Code are Bad as in "whole society think that such behavior is unacceptable and should be punished". This is the main defining characteristic that separates material in Penal Code from stuff in Civil Code. And since its HN, I assume that you know set theory and I don't have to explain what does follows and what does not.

You know that some percentage of violent rape women victims actually reach orgasm?

So if I'll find a horny female 14 year old I can totally "sex her up"?

You should probably read once again your posts. Your views on subject are already known, now why don't you think of potential social consequences of this fact.
Yeah, their "jesting" involved the lecturer, vaseline, a flagpole and lots and lots of string beans.
That's fine, when people mix up "English", with "Welsh" and "Scottish".

It's not when people mix up "englisch" with "walisisch" and "schottisch".
And there are judges who can order some of those forfeitures released/returned so that the individual can get a lawyer.

Of course this probably doesn't happen in reality...
It's not particularly offensive, but it does betray a certain ignorance about the geographic extent of England the country.
I have to agree deeply. Purism just for the sake of it is not dealing with the end users demands. A pixel artist does pixel art because he deeply cares about the pixels. But the user doesn't necessarily about the pixels. Most of them care more about that the game's story and interactions are as convincing as possible. Finding the right tools to achieve that is the right way to go.

Read the article. Their conclusion is that 24 core power8 systems can beat 36 core Xeons in some important benchmarks, both in performance and power-per-dollar (but not power-per-watt). If you want to see the reason, just look at the memory bandwidth - Power8 has about double that of the latest and greatest Xeon. That's very important, especially for fixed grid computational tasks (e.g. weather, climate) that traditionally have a very low arithmetic intensity, i.e. what really counts is the memory bandwidth.
These are great problems the first two seem to have obvious modes of proof at first sight ...

What I particularly like is that the Erdos-Strauss problem is one that's accessible to a junior schooler - once you know fractions you can investigate. I could see it forming part of a project like the graph theory investigations posted formerly, http://jdh.hamkins.org/math-for-eight-year-olds/.
Katre left out a key word: per their About page, it's the first transnational digital identity available to anyone in the world. German ID cards are only for physical residents of Germany.
We aren't working on it now since we don't use PHP internally but we'd be happy to support a developer who wants to build support!
Not at all. They steal bank accounts, boats, cars, and houses as well.
The thing is, if a third party gets enough of the vote, it gets the attention of the major parties. Remember Ross Perot's Reform party? They were the only ones talking about the budget deficit at the time. Then, after eight years of Bill Clinton (of the party generally considered less fiscally responsible), there was somehow a budget surplus.

An economic contraction and a tax cut then combined to eliminate the surplus, but it still shows that third-party votes can have power.

Also, Federal elections aren't the only kind: third party candidates win elections with some frequency at lower levels, because at those levels the person can matter more than the party.
That is simply not true. To write fast JS you need to understand the basics of the engine, like what a hidden class is, what exactly garbage collector does, how to keep your methods monomorphic or how types work in arrays. I was stunned when recruiting people to see how many just didn't understand why the prototype chains they build are actually creating a separated method instance per each object they allocate. You can see that easily when serious people suggest that an object constructor should return another object with methods on it. Sure, it's valid JS, it has it's advantages and compiler MAY be able to optimize it (last time I checked it didn't), but there will be a limit in what it can do and performance will be impacted.

You should perhaps not optimize trivial things like methods vs function, because there is no good underlying reason for them to be much different. You should know when to optimize and what. I love the longer version of Knuth's quote - "We should forget about small efficiencies, say about 97% of the time: premature optimization is the root of all evil. Yet we should not pass up our opportunities in that critical 3%.". The overall architecture, the way you write and organize your code, in my opinion, and in case of JavaScript is likely to be in the 3%.

But I also agree not caring too much about it improves productiveness. Most applications really don't need to worry about performance in such depth. Even when they do, it often boils down to keeping one or two core components optimized.

The only worry I always have about it, is that when you notice your code style and architecture doesn't play well with JS engines, it's often too late to change it. A friend called me a day before a prod release asking what to do about his program taking a huge chunk of memory for what the profiler described as a "compiled code". It was a large corporate application, with dynamic code loading. We digged into the framework internals just to notice there was no built-in way of deregistering a class once it's created. Since it didn't play nicely with the JS engine, there were many more hidden classes than business models in the system, and most calls were polymorphic. All this compiled code had to be kept somewhere. At this point there was no way he would replace the framework and even quickly fixing it was a challenge.
hardly can't wait ;-)
Well, a 128 bit integer can count up to 2¹²⁸-1 seconds; that's more than the number of seconds that have (according to current theories) passed since the birth of the universe:

Because Holland is a region within The Netherlands. Northern Ireland, Scotland, England and Wales are completely separate countries. Holland is not. NI/S/W are not part of England.
I think so long as they say it must be independent work and give a time limit then it's fair.
"Key drivers for Estonia’s high rank are its relatively low corporate tax rate at 21 percent with no double taxation of dividend income, a nearly flat 21 percent income tax rate, a property tax that only taxes the value of land and not the value of building and structures, and a territorial tax system that exempts 100 percent of foreign profits."

So 21% I guess

How is this different than distribution of printed magazines, for example? Publishers produce their product and ship it to distribution centers. You can buy the magazines at the bus stop, or at the gas station, or even have it mailed to you.

You can find the article on facebook, or when you searched bing, or maybe even subscribe to their newsletter, get mobile notification from their mobile app on your phone.

And how is this publishers relinquishing their control? They will post on facebook no matter what. Integration with the platfrom gives them more data and another possible monetization stream with more perks on the way, I'm sure. What are they losing from this integration?
This is the first Germany has been brought up in the conversation. At no point was I discussing use in languages other than English and at no point did I argue that. It seems you argument has fallen apart and you have resorted to changing it.

When the distinction is important we can express it, no problem. But when it isn't?
