I'm not sure why that experiment is better than watching a light that has an infinitesimal chance of changing color.

I would like to see some experiments in basic income. I'm not sure it works, but the premise is not completely absurd. It does cause inflation, maybe so much of it that it's unsustainable. It also may remove too many incentives fr

If the research has a cost (and you know this cost), then you actually have three options: original option A, original option B, and research + correct option (or knowledge that both options are the same). If you can at least bound the cost

The article does acknowledge this point, and offers a possible solution. In the edit at the end, i t suggests a system for distinguishing those who initiate defection from those who respond to ti with defection, and in principle that could

Well, would the situation in Africa be better or worse if this takes off? There may be some greed in there, but the overall result to me seems Good. I'd rather they improve the world and make a profit than they sit in their thumbs as p

The SRP, as I was taught it, means that there must for each class only one kind of change in the requirements of the program that requires a change in the class. "Kinds of change" are quite vaguely defined, though.

This show has a lot of the best aspects of Cow and Chicken, The Powerpuff Girls and Dexter's Lab. Some episodes have a very similar vibe to Samurai Jack. I don't know if it surpasses the entire roster, but it's certainly as

That's effectively security through obscurity. If someone got one of your passwords, he could try to figure out f()^-1 and reverse your funciton, supossing its inversible; that would grant him all of your passwords with the same salt.

The character progression and the general pacing are closer to those of JRPGs. It reminds me a bit of Vagrant's Story in terms of gameplay, for instance.

Top of my head: Dark Souls franchise, Dragon Age, Mass Effect, The Witcher. Just in AAA, american style RPGs. J-RPG and indies are coming as strong as ever. EDIT: as pointed out below, Dark Souls is a JRPG.

For many games on Steam, Steamworks is the only DRM. Valve is technically (though probably not legally, unless there a provision for this in whatever contract they offer) capable of disabling this DRM.

Language Theory is a subset of automata theory that covers both. So at least in some sense, they are comparable. We can place them in Chomsky's Hierarchy and compare the constructs that are meaningful in both.

According to this[1] the pressure on Europa is "one hundred billionth that of the Earth". Your graph uses a log scale, so maybe I'm measuring this wrong, but I'm pretty sure under so little pressure, water can be vapor

As long as an object's behaviour remains the same, the data can change without any problem. That's one of the big selling points of OO.

If you get a user-password combo, you can try it in more sensitive sites that may have stronger protection against brute force attacks. People reuse passwords a lot, specially the kind of users that use weak passwords on the first place. If
