Interesting way of approaching the problem. I didn't realize the go solution "just" used monte carlo branching. Still impressive, but does not seem as revolutionary as it's been portrayed.

Agree w the programming analogy. It's easy to get caught up spending lots of time on design detail, only to trash the whole feature later on. Seems harder w writing for some reason. But worth trying. Thanks for the thought.

Hilarious. Since when does the FBI announce when it finds a new vulnerability to exploit? It's up against the biggest companies in the world, the US public, and the international community. And now it's backing down with its tail

I have problems with writer's block, but my problem seems quite different from what's described here. Usually, I'm fine with the creative aspects -- I know what ideas I want to communicate. What troubles me is finding the wor

I think the email goes further than poorly worded. It says pretty clearly that access will be cut off, gives no suggestion that there could be a negotiation.

Kudos for caring enough to come here and respond directly. But man, Twitter just seems to have no consideration at all for the people and businesses who build on the platform. Every 6 months you guys make a new change that kills a bunch of

Sounds like you are speaking specifically about the sitemap. Agree that they serve a good purpose, though you don't need robots.txt to have a sitemap.

Agree. It is the government's role to protect its citizens. Promoting an addictive and risky behavior for profit goes completely against that.

Surprised this got published. This theorem is literally day-1 number theory. And unless I'm missing something, this paper is just rephrasing it in a slightly different way. http://wstein.org/ent/ent.pdf Also seems

You should reread the comment. It doesn't say everyone needs to use Snapchat, just don't insist it's stupid merely because you don't understand it.

Cool data source. Thanks for sharing. In case anyone is curious about the early history of the income tax, or why it is so spotty prior to 1913: The income tax was first imposed in 1861 to help pay for the Civil War. Prior to that, the gove

Doesn't make sense to compare this to Ferguson. Ferguson was not a standoff. It was a protest. And it was getting violent, which is why the National Guard was needed. Oregon was originally a protest, but it is now an armed standoff. An
