If the player going first rolls 4 or more they can checkmate? e4 Bc4 Qf3 Qf7# (for White with a mirror equivalent for Black) With closer reading I think there’s a missing rule where you just move a single piece that many times?

After reading, this part from "Inside Job" came to mind: https://youtu.be/T2IaJwkqgPk?t=5141 TL;DW: a lot of economics professors are likely engaged in some conflict of interest when publishing on policy.

What happens if the price drops below what is profitable to mine? Do they scale back or stay the course because if other miners back out they’re more likely to be rewarded a block? I guess there’s a 51% attack vector there too if the price

There is nothing missing from this timer, it's very impressive! You might be calculating larger averages slightly incorrectly? Convention is discarding best and worst `ceil(0.05 * len(n))` times. I've seen a lot of timers come and

A video demo would be helpful, does it improve window management between spaces at all? I really liked spaces/mission control in OSX 10.6 before they changed it to what it is now. You could have a grid of desktops and move windows betw

I used to really want a Tesla but recent interior changes (dashboard, control console), quality control issues, and these FSD fiascos have completely soured my interest. I still admit there’s a certain cool factor too them but I’ve settled

I think three parts to its popularity: 1) sharable, 2) streaks, 3) free. 1) I think this is the main reason why the game spread so rapidly. You get a neat little emoji grid every day that you can immediately compare against friends and stra

Have you looked at Talon[1] for programming and system control? I used it for a few months last year and while the first two weeks were difficult I was able to nail down a workflow that really suited me. After another few weeks I felt as co

I think a lot about this Trevor Noah bit [1] with a good punchline about the historic and modern importance of spices. I’d be interested what the article means by “[de Gama’s discovery of spices on Malabar] destroyed the economies of Alexan

What I’ve been curious about this week along with the $120 million badger DAO hack is what does one then do with these hundreds of millions? Do you launder it through NFT’s, divide it between dozens of wallets and dump it on some other exch

Write everyday, writing is a muscle that you flex. Reading is important in the process of becoming a better writer, but in the way that watching tennis makes you good at tennis. You have to eventually get on the courts and play yourself. I

I agree that the opinion was not rooted in racism, another sibling thread makes that clear. However it is still a reactionary stance that should be educated. Every UBI or welfare proposal cannot simply be shut down because because of a leak

People don’t have children so they can get a tax break. Your argument is remnant of a moral panic over “welfare queens” in the 70’s which continued through the 90’s [1]. It’s been found tax incentives like these actually reduce family sizes

I cannot comment on the domain but having lived and worked in New Mexico I'd posit that there is a talent shortage in the state. I believe defense contractors and the National Labs attract and retain all the talent. My anecdotal data i
