The US, meanwhile, has only a few dense regions, mostly in the Northeast, with the rest of population centers spread out very large areas. [...] There are notable exceptions, such as Los Angeles, but LA is not representative of most of the country.

Think again[1].

It is certainly possible for society to have both problems of "parents don't spend enough time with their children" and "parents are micromanaging their children" simultaneously when the distribution of parental tendencies bimodal about both sides of whatever is optimal.
This thread is probably dead, but the main arguments I hear from people saying it was wrong is that Japan was extremely close to surrender and even negotiating terms before the bombs.

Also that it didn't need to be dropped on a populated city first, and that previous bombing of cities in the war proved that the tactic was relatively ineffective. And that the US had a conflict of interest; they wanted to end the war before the Russians were involved. As well as demonstrate the capability of the bomb to them.

Everything I said is debatable, and I don't blame Truman for making the decision he did. But Orwell's comment, that the arguments involved are "too brutal to bear" is definitely true. Most people can't answer the trolley problem, a hypothetical situation where you have to kill one innocent person to save 5.

Now imagine instead of 1 person it's thousands, and they aren't all just killed instantly but some horribly maimed or irradiated. And that whether it will work wasn't certain, or that the horrible alternative wasn't certain, and that there are all sorts of possible third options, etc. And so whatever you think the best choice is, the arguments involved are extremely brutal.
Correct. In contrast to Newtonian mechanics, Lagrangians and Hamiltonians completely describe essentially all fundamental laws of physics -- including things like quantum and relativity.

However, they are cumbersome to work with for some complex, compound phenomena, such as friction.
And to show how to logically work out this answer (same spoiler warning applies):

I started with a truth table as well. It's pretty easy to show that if Alice (or without loss of generality Bob) uses a fixed "always guess H" or "always guess T" strategy, that wins in two cases, but in the other two cases Bob has no way to reliably win. For instance, if Alice always guesses H, then two cases become wins:

A B
H H W
H T ?
T H W
T T ?

But in the other two cases, Bob has the same T each time, so he doesn't have enough information to distinguish those cases, and thus he can't reliably guess correctly.

So Alice needs to use a strategy that depends on her flip. There are only two such strategies that don't trivially reduce to a constant guess: guess what you flip or guess the opposite of what you flip. Going with the former, where Alice guesses what she flips:

A B
H H W
H T ?
T H ?
T T W

From this, clearly if Bob guesses the opposite of what he flips, someone wins in all four cases.

The only other solution is to reverse the two: Alice guesses the opposite of what she flips, and Bob guesses what he flips.

This seems like a nice warm-up for other protocols that depend on agreed-upon strategy but not a secure channel for direct communication, such as Diffie Hellman or the Socialist Millionare Problem.
I read a theory somewhere that one of the the reasons Japan and Germany did so well in the post war years was that the war had completely cleaned out the rot and corruption from their institutions and they were starting over with a clean slate.

I have no idea how true this is. But I do suspect some of the troubles in America are more than economic... they are structural. Corruption in boardrooms. Profits without production. Institutions far deviated from their original purpose. Workers showing up and barely going through the motions with a sense of entitlement. Managers who have long since ceased to serve any useful function holding on to their jobs and perniciously cutting out anyone who would threaten them by innovating or producing. It's no one persons fault. It's not even the systems fault. It's just I think what happens when systems grow stale and a bit corrupt. Maybe there does inevitably have to be a real reset before things can get better again.
There are 3 options: unchecked exceptions, checked exceptions, and error returns.

Exceptions have some advantages and disadvantages; the advantages are what I said above about only needing to write small amount of code. The disadvantages are that it does have some compiled code-size, performance, and language runtime requirements.

The nature of Rust sort of precludes it's use of exceptions and instead they have a reasonable error return facility that is a pretty type-safe way of forcing you to handle or propagate errors. Smaller compiled code, not much performance overhead, and it's easy to reason about because it's consistent. Of course, it's also a lot more boilerplate code to write.

Checked exceptions, on the other hand, negate the advantages of exceptions and still have all the other disadvantages of exceptions. It's also a lot harder to reason about than Rust's model of just handling all errors manually.

The population centers, yes, but the population growth, and residential areas developed for it, largely after.

Population of the US in 1900 was roughly 76 million. It's 316 million today.

Auto ownership took off in the 1950s (after WWII and the post-war boom began). At that time, total population was 151 million, less than half that today.

Both of the two most populous states in the U.S. (California and Texas) assumed that position well after the dominance of the Automobile. California in 1960, Texas in the 1990s. California's population has increased 3.6x since 1950, Texas has by 3.4x. The third-ranked state, New York, by 1.3x.

Florida, set to surpass New York in the near future, has grown 7x in the same period.

That's all post-auto era growth.

>> I think there is a stigma attached going out alone though - I have random people ask me if I am alone and seem surprised by the answer.

This is the hardest part to combat, especially at a bar when there's no attraction (say, a sports game) on. There is such an intense expectation for group social activity in nightlife that makes it very hard to go solo.

For this reason, I almost never have a good time going out to a bar by myself so I'm surprised you enjoy it. Theatres and restaurants, on the other hand, I have much better luck with.
There's no way that Exherbo's package repos are anywhere near as well maintained and broad as the distros that people have actually heard of. There's no silver bullet for that problem; the only solution is manpower that they don't have.

It seems too simple to be right, but can Bob just say heads all the time, and Alice say tails all the time?
> Meanwhile, the return on a minimal investment in guitar playing and a bit of singing is almost comical.

To elaborate on this, all you really need to play a substantial amount of popular and folk music is to (a) memorize 4-8 chords and the transitions between then, (b) memorize strumming patterns that go with the songs you want to play, and (c) practice until your fingers stop hurting from holding the frets (substantially easier with nylon strings than steel strings).

For some examples, you can play "Free Fallin'", "Bad Moon Rising", and a bunch of other songs with a capo and just A, D, and G chords.

No, there are two different coins. So if Bob flipped heads (which Alice guessed tails for) then they lose.

I don't think we should discount the ability for access to information to help someone get out of their situation. For example, perhaps somebody could learn how to grow food instead of waiting for a handout with the help of articles on irrigation systems and crop rotation.
however, if the puzzle is changed from 'either one or both their guesses are correct they win' to 'both their guesses should be correct to win', then the solution becomes tough!
I freelanced for several years and was in a similar situation. Then, my GF and I bought a house outside town on a couple of acres. I'd see friends once and awhile and of course had the internet, but it became extremely lonely (which is saying a lot as I'm a bit of a loner in the first place). My already suspect social skills were getting even worse. Sometimes I felt like I was going a bit nuts.

I finally got a job. It was great... there were people all around, politics, jokes, boring stories... it was somewhere I really looked forward to going. My GF was much happier as well. I was generally bathed, shaved and a whole lot more social. But I wasn't doing the same level of work, nor was I learning as much, nor was I making the money I could have. So.. I'm getting ready to leave and go back to work solo again. This time I leased an office in a high rise with a bunch of neighboring businesses in the downtown of the small town I live near. We will see what happens this time, but I predict having people around and a schedule will fix the problems that arose last time.

I feel for you. It's great at first not to go to a workplace but there are things one really starts missing and after a long period of time it becomes quite isolating.

The solution requires infinite memory (not just arbitrary finite memory, but an actual, non-compressible infinite value) which is of course impossible in reality.

Usually problems on "countable" structures need only finite memory (to process infinite streaming input), so this problem is rather misleading.

Going back to day 1, it looks like she's doing 180 games for 180 days.

I love watching these unfold! My only suggestion is that with every game you make, try to stray from the norm a bit, and a splash of creativity, or a twist on the game.

My favorite one of these was 12 games in 12 days at lessmilk.com

http://www.lessmilk.com/12games

He not only made a new game every week for 12 weeks, it seemed that week after week, the ideas became a little more interesting each time, to the point that I couldn't wait for his next game to come out.

For example, he also made a Snake game, but after you eat about 3 or 4 apples, the entire board started rotating. It was a genius twist I had never seen before. You just never expect a Snake game to take a turn like that, and it's a great experience.
How's that a downside? Furthermore, why's it necessary for someone else to know about it? Doesn't it hold value even if you only experienced it?
Ask HN: What algorithms do you use to handle time based event?
Lets say you are writing a program that should send notifications at a user defined date.
For example, a tasks management application should send notifications at the due date of the task, defined by the user.
Any date can be inserted at any time in the list of "notifications" to send.

What algorithms would use? The best answer to that question was for me to use a priority queue.

I am curious to learn about alternative to that problem.

It makes sense to validate visitors in advance, and my sense doesn't even matter if that's just the name of the game from now on. A bonus for checking in advance may be that even if registration isn't required, you might get special treatment or help once you do get there.

There is also another thing that i would like to add here, there is an answer on quora which those interested should read[1].

They do give really good benefits, things like free lunch, return tickets to foreign countries for vacation and they give a car to each of their employees.

There was also a rumour going around that axact made its money by making and managing one of the largest pornographic websites on the internet. Don't know how much truth is in that. But everyone i mean everyone talked about that at one time in the industry here.

For me, I immediately guessed the strategy on my first guess (one same, one opposite) and somehow automagically intuited it was correct, but did not really understand why. Then I understood once I looked at the thread.
As a team, they get two guesses. So those two guesses have to cover the space of possibilities, and a guess has to be of a form such that seeing one's own coin implies the guessed value of the hidden coin. (So, "Bob has heads" is not a valid strategy guess. A strategy guess has to describe the state of both coins, so each perskon's strategy guess cannot include two pairs of the form "mine=X, other=H " and also "mine=X, other=T".

This seems a bit awkward, but information theory "guessing" is called "error correction", and parity-checking is the simplest and by far most common strategy. (Advanced algorithms are fancier multidimensional parity computations)
So, their two guesses are "same" and "different" (aka parity 0 and 1). A and B each are allocated one of the two strategyGuesses, and translate observedCoin+strategyGuess=hiddenCoinGuess
I think that's what phantom_oracle is getting at. Being in a co-working space will put you around other people and increase your chances of doing activities in your free time with them.
Exherbo's package repos are incredibly well-maintained. What is provided generally always works and things are kept very much up to date (KDE/gnome/chrome/firefox updates within 24 hours usually). Lack of public awareness doesn't always mean the system isn't as well maintained as a system like gentoo (which often breaks!)

The broadness of the system isn't quite as vast as many distributions but running a desktop / dev workstation I have never encountered a package not available that I needed.

These can't seriously be normal prices, right? The costs for these in Australia would be closer to Cable TV $25/m or $50 with a sports package, Phone $60/m, Internet $60/m, Gym $60/m.

These aren't the budget options - the phone would come with an iPhone or Galaxy S6, internet has unlimited data for instance. And this is all with an Australian dollar worth 75% of the USD at the moment, and living in a country which is notoriously expensive. Not quite as bad as the Bay area, but Sydney, Perth and Melbourne are amongst the most expensive cities to live in the world.

First, you don't really need any of those things. There are plenty of ways to exercise without cross fit and a gym. And in-app purchases? Really?
