I haven't been to Beirut, but I have been to Beijing a bunch, and by brother has been to Beirut I think at least twice. From what he tells me, Beirut is crazier driving than Beijing. In like all respects. The traffic fatalities are h

I think both Baidu and pony are allowed to run no-safety-driver taxis for $$ in Beijing now (as of this year).

It wouldn't surprise me if there were subs with this problem. There's definitely subs where it isn't a problem, and any kind of astroturfing is strongly stamped out by mods (e.g. /r/personalfinance runs a relatively

This is one of my favorite insane voting systems. One does have to keep in mind that this is definitely just rich people voting for other rich people - the system is in place to limit corruption for a single rich family, but is a far cry fr

Competitive games is also a weird domain for measuring something like this. Optimal play can be both difficult to achieve, but have an incredible advantage. A 95th percentile player will lose to a 99th percentile player like 10 out of 10

The US West Coast lags way behind almost the entire rest of the US w.r.t using controlled burns to limit wildfire danger. California intentionally burns like only half of the area as Minnesota, despite being like twice as big. Arkansas, GA,

The case in the original article is not patents at all. Closer to copyright? Idk if it's actually copyright or some other trade secret law (? sorry, don't know much about non-patent IP law)

Yea, this is a more correct explanation. Not a patent lawyer, but raised by one lol. Tangentially, it gets difficult in software because a lot of patents are .... maybe overbroad in their wording of claims. Lot of ambiguous looking landmi

Yea that would be Kythe. We build almost everything, across 44-45 different programming languages, and postprocess that into a giant semantic graph. Most major parts are open sourced at kythe.io, and there's a somewhat dated talk give

It has nothing to do with Kythe. I'm on the Kythe team, and I don't know off the top of my head what Zoekt is. Looking it up, I see it's some sort of trigram search, which means if it's used at all (I have no idea), it&
