"I would really love to know the contents of the CBP file on me. It's too bad that they refuse to disclose it via TRIPS or any other system."
Oh, is "apathetic" a more comfortable label ?
> The level of harassment you put up with is obscene, and that you continue to stick to your guns in the face of it is admirable. That said, it's not something that most people want in their lives.
That guy is getting harassed a lot because he is alone. I don't think the overloads up there have the courage to harass tens of thousands - do they ? Wide ranging support means less heroism will be required to get what people want. He is not fighting a personal battle, right ? It is better to fight smaller battles now and avoid the possibility of all out wars that we are seeing in Africa and the Middle-East.
> Dealing with the level of harassment you face imperils all of those goals. Unless someone is dedicated to a cause and willing to sacrifice a lot to serve it, it's unreasonable to ask them to invite that kind of drama into their lives.
So, that person won't even "want to meet or correspond with" them. Do they realize the stark contrast between Jake's priorities and theirs.
Pakistan and China are trying to help India 'break free' but I am sure they won't succeed.
I shared the link because I found his sudoku generator and the constraint methods interesting.
> That would be backtracking.
Let me quote the first para in full:
The solver uses depth first and/or breadth first tree search
with constraint propagation to prune the search for the next
best move (forms of forward checking.) There are space/time
tradeoffs between depth/breadth first search and the constraints
used; sudoku(1) has options to control the combinations.
The common characteristic for all constraints, here and elsewhere,
is that they avoid trial and error. Its fine for a computer
to guess and backtrack but a definite breach of puzzle manners
to require a human to do so.
I could be wrong but, yes, it does use backtracking to find the constraint that can give a number for an empty cell but it never has to change a number it has put in a cell. That differs from the trial and error approach that moves forward by guessing values and checking if it leads to a valid solution.He discusses the strategies used here: http://www2.research.att.com/~gsf/sudoku/
$ man manThe first thing to understand is that Jeremy Marks touched no one during his "attempted lynching" of LAUSD campus police officer Erin Robles.
The second is that Marks' weapon was the camera in his cell phone.
The third is that Officer Robles' own actions helped turn an exceedingly minor wrongdoing — a student smoking at a bus stop — into a state prison case.

Edit to add: Jeremy wasn't smoking, just recording the cop (which is legal in his state)(wo)man-handling the smoker.
The Dangerous Myth of the Hero Entrepreneur
The full quote: "It says a lot about Microsoft's approach to customer lock-in that the company touts its proprietary document formats, which only Microsoft software can render with true fidelity, as the reason to avoid using other products".
So they were complaining about MS making it hard to decode the Word format and making it tough to preserve format when importing.
The search link is at least as relevant as the bookmarklet link and certainly more relevant than the webmynd and mixpanel links with images.
> Basically, points exacerbate the "someone is wrong on the Internet" trap.
While i am not sure about that, I suggest that voting for comments should be delayed like the temporarily hidden reply link, that may reduce some reflexive voting.
Yes, simple risk/return analysis? And they were warned too.
