The point is that the theoretical problem, interesting as it may be, doesn't matter that much in practice.

The marginal utility you could get by fine-tuning the trade off is low.

It's another type of bike-shedding essentially.

I would say it's true if a little reductive. Democracy has to give the best outcome overall and economic growth is a major factor in that.

Systems programmed by humans typically have coding standards. The human body on the other hand has been haphazardly developed over billions of years by the principle quick hack on top of quick hack on top of quick hack.

It's a complete mess of spaghetti code where anything that happens is the result of dozens of sub-systems trying to invoke or override each other.

Hillary is more war eager than Donald. Look at her mails regarding Syria. Also, she hates Russia (meaning that the proxy war there would continue) while Donald do not (meaning he may work to find a solution).

> I remember meeting a guy who had a degree as a food chemist. I asked him what jobs he was after, and he said ... food chemist.

Could someone explain this to me? Like I assume lordnacho had expected that guy to apply for a wider category of jobs, but which jobs? And what is the advantage of that broadness?

With a Martian colony, we could - if worst came to worst - start a zero-child policy, and "go silently into the night".

That would be unacceptable if it meant the end of humanity.

Maybe I'm overthinking this, but wouldn't a better solution be to say that server1.localhost doesn't have to be loopback, but that it must be resolved by asking the DNS server at localhost (or alternatively defined in the hosts file).

edit: I don't really have any expertise or experience with this at all, just a thought.

One of the meanings of mark is "victim of scam / swindle". See definition 15 (!) http://www.dictionary.com/browse/mark

They could live in the same house.

There are many companies (should be familiar to anyone in tech) and well funded organizations working hard to give more opportunities to women.

Well, they succeeded and this is what success looks like.

Their work hasn't stopped either, so expect even more success in the future.

That he feels depressed and lonely?

If they actually made that policy, that they will buy any <500k widget that promises the world, then I bet the market could churn out pseudoscience at astonishing rates.

Why would you start a new company when you can join and enhance an existing one?

Some players are fine with a community that only consists of the devs themselves playing a few hours a day.

>The classical problem is more or less designed to be a utilitarian thought experiment. Are you willing to be actively unethical for a greater ethical action?

That may be what it is designed to do. But maybe the design is flawed, and it doesn't actually test that? Maybe when you ask random people on the street (or undergrads or whatever) this question, all those details that you don't want to matter, turn out to have a big effect.

What does this mean for a TBB user?

I completely agree that those are not gameable. The thing I wondered about was why there can't be any other ungameable algorithm.

Rather than resizing to 320x240, pick that number of pixels randomly. For even better results use some method of variance reduction e.g. divide the screen into n squarish rectangles and pick N/n pixels from every rectangle.

> Moreover, there are only two algorithms you can't game - one that perfectly addresses and solves explicit and implicit aspects of the problem (impossible in practice), and one that is perfectly random.

Care to explain?

1. Because the hash is in the blockchain, certificates cannot be created retroactively.

2. The notary could make their archive public, so that any interested party could go through and verify that it is legit.

3. By using many different notaries the chance of any one of them being bad would be reduced.

Are you saying that if black people live in one society and white people live in one society, then the black one will necessarily be hundreds times worse than the white one?

Because that's what it sounds like you are saying.

> automatically execute an arbitrary file download

Your phrasing could easily be misread. A downloaded program would not automatically run.

Who will Trump bring physical harm to except ISIS?

Are you opposed to violently stopping the ISIS? Do you want the genocides they commit to continue?

To further clarify: The teacher is considered the "parent" of the student in their analysis.

Stereotypes have great predictive power. The reason we sometimes avoid them is they can lead to outcomes that are seen as undesirable.

>everything beyond the terminator should (?) be equally cold

I don't think so. Winds, diffusion, conduction, refraction probably come into play.

Nim in disguise

No matter the strategy Ava will get the right answer 50% of the time, and Bob will get the right answer 50% of the time.

What the strategy can influence is the correlation between Ava being right and Bob being right.
