That's not NP complete. There are two major differences: 1) it fits exactly. 2) you are told there is an answer NP complete defines a generalization of a problem. Just because a general problem is hard doesn't mean every set of nu

Yes. I think you're trying to be sarcastic, but it's true. Cities are designed the way they are because of cars. Roads and highways cut up the city and make neighborhoods less walkable. That wasn't an accident, but the result

Arguably the only thing propping up the oil industry is lies as well... If it wasn't for the big lie that Climate Change isn't real, then the USA would have never left the Paris Accord, and would have much stricter Climate goals a

Maybe you should treat books like TV then: give it a half hour, and if you're not hooked, close it and find another. I know many people say books take longer to enjoy, but a bad TV series can take ~12 hours per season. Most people can

Interesting, I wasn't sure at first how it was adjusting the title, but it seems like it lower cases it. Interesting demo, but I think you could do better by just aggressively not clicking on videos like that to begin with. I never see

The fact that Netflix can adaptively adjust their clickbait to suit each user is pretty stunning though. That's definitely a step beyond "one thumbnail to rule them all".

Easy, my dumb level-0 car can tell me when it's icy. And finding lane markers is one of the easiest tasks in self driving (the hard part is knowing when to ignore them).

I will say it gave me the idea to turn my own house into a corporation. Or maybe I should go the "my house is actually a church" route. Oh, the possibilities.

That hasn't really worked in practice. I think of Tumblr which basically stopped all growth and innovation the moment they banned porn. The company is probably assuming they can pivot, and maybe they can, but I doubt it

by ggggtez 5y ago
I feel like Tumblr was actually growing when they made they change (which promptly killed their growth). I don't see how Only Fans is going to remain solvent without their core creators.

I like the idea, but the art is meh.

I'm not exactly sure what you're doing with your math there, but I think you probably should include what you think is the current entropy of your browsing sessions... Considering you're already aware of screen size and use

I know a lot of tech people don't go to Walmart, but this also matches my experience. More brown neighborhoods have more security. But important note: you can just leave. You don't have to let them check your bag. They aren't

So, you think that if you swapped R and D in the dataset, then the algorithm would always make the D win? Given that they are talking about open source tools, that should be trivial for someone to prove, if they were so inclined. It sounds

by ggggtez 5y ago
They are, because they are releasing open source tools with the goal of stopping gerrymandering. Just because you don't think it will work, doesn't mean it isn't happening.

That only counts as a "hit" if you ignore everything in the conspiracy that was wrong. The very first paragraph says that Trump wasn't under investigation. That was a central part of the conspiracy theory. The other part of t

I think anyone in the DefCon Voting Machine Hacking village would agree that voting machines can be hacked... But that's a far cry from saying that they were hacked... by China and Italy? And that you have proof, but then not provide

You're missing the fact there was a $5 million bounty to disapprove the claims. Some cyber security experts were probably hoping for an easy pay day. They probably were foolish to think he'd actually pay though. Con artists never

> it's not like Netflix has a game-changing technology advantage over all the companies chasing them. You're kidding right? They have huge technological advantages in the areas of content production. Comments like this are why

I think it's helpful to consider that just because you are upper class does not necessarily imply that you are rich. I know plenty of people with upper class hobbies. I couldn't say for sure if they are rich, but they certainly do

Technically true, though I don't know why you think that capability is limited to Apple products... https://transparencyreport.google.com/youtube-policy/feature...

From what I've read this is a red herring to get you to ignore the fact that global warming and neglect are the root causes of the wild fire issues.

You are upper class. Yes you're not rich, but you're not middle class. The middle class American dream is a house in the suburbs with a white picket fence, 2 cars, and a dog. You're talking about buying a half million dollar

I've heard that technically renouncing us citizenship to dodge taxes is illegal. But as with most things, that's only if you get caught.

"power corrupts". Politics by nature is about assigning power to a few decision makers. Democracy has less corruption than other systems due to separation of power, but it's foolish to think there isn't temptation to bec

I think you are unintentionally describing another New Yorker. Trump. I thought I should make the comment from the sibling poster more explicit.

As far as I know, defund the police isn't proposed as a solution to this problem. Police don't run the prisons. Maybe the two are connected, due to high incarceration rates being used to balance budgets, but afaik there are other

Prison labor is the rule rather than the exception. In many states, prisons are also run by for-profit companies. Occasionally it's mentioned on some show like Jon Oliver, but there isn't the political willpower to solve this clea

Your anecdote proves the point. If your friend was paid more, they might not have left. But in essence what you highlight also shows why companies don't pay to keep people to stay. Instead of paying someone money who hates their job, t

It's not sufficient to make 1% more money. If it's not a 20%+ increase, you might as well bide your time. This means the first, lower paying job, is sticky. Otherwise you could leave instantly at every better offer without penalty
