That sounds overdue. Restaurant food is massively overpriced compared to raw materials (despite basic dishes like pasta and sous vide steak taking basically no time and effort to prepare), and mass producing it along with mass delivery usin

It might create a monopoly of browser engines, but not a monopoly of browser vendors, which is the harmful part (of course we might be heading to a browser vendor monopoly anyway, but that's due to Google abusing their market position,

Why do they do that instead of abstaining? It seems like their duty to the index fund owners is to vote like other shareholders (which is most easily achieved by abstaining) and not like management.

All the browser engines and most browsers are open source, so making them harder to implement does not "feed the monopoly".

Make having children no longer be a right and instead be subject to conditions (like only one child per woman, or a large tax, or traded permits, or requirement to put millions of dollars in escrow for the child, etc.). Abort all children u

Just outlaw animal husbandry and meat sales or apply high enough taxes to meat, and meat consumption will become small enough to be irrelevant. People can be vegan just fine, it's only a matter of habits.

Also what's the point of arbitrary numbers like "10%" and "+5"? You should obviously increase lifetime customer value to the optimal value (after accounting the cost of increasing it) and likewise for churn rate.

... and why did TOPS-10 start using / as the option separator?

It seems like they are using a really weird data structure (it's not even clear whether it's sub-quadratic). This is a textbook problem normally solved using a balanced binary tree augmented by adding a number with the size of the

It seems totally possible to do it in less than 10 minutes as long as: 1. The button doesn't have to do anything 2. You give them a fast computer with an IDE loaded with the project 3. The developer is familiar with the language, UI fr

You can't really do prediction if you are not rendering the game locally, so all you can do is have a lot of servers all over the world and rely on most customers having a low latency fiber link.

What do you mean by "at least as secure"? They are different algorithms, so I don't see how their security can be provably related.

That's probably true, but the issue is that everyone is an addict to some extent.

Not really, it's possible that there is always a strategy that can be proven to be better than entering the computation (because it wins the game deterministically, for instance).

While this paper shows that a player can create a game state where deciding the game result is Turing-complete, it does not show that doing so is an optimal strategy under any circumstance (in particular, the setup requires a starting situa

Make the 2 vs 3 language decision be module-specific with a single Python executable supporting both languages, allowing you to freely mix Python 2 and 3 files and libraries and thus not splitting the ecosystem.

The more idiomatic way would be to return an Rc<RefCell<Element>>. Accessing it will indeed panic if someone else has an active mutable reference to the contents of the refcell, but the idea is that you should only keep that for

Yeah, I don't understand why mapping software doesn't just say: * after the next 2 intersections, turn right * after the next intersection, turn right * turn right at the next intersection * TURN RIGHT NOW * you missed the turn ri

You can have a screen that is twice the size of a non-foldable screen... (given a rest size constraint like fitting in your pocket).

The article doesn't really seem to address why, if there is demand for what the author wants (which is quite reasonable), the market (or even a monopolist train company) doesn't provide it.

But given that Uber is not profitable now competing with Lyft both with human drivers, why would it be profitable tomorrow competing with Waymo both with SDCs? Even if the profit is no longer negative, it should be near zero since there is

It's probably because you only consciously notice people aggregate when they do so in a place that causes you an inconvenience.
