You are assuming that the market place of ideas selects for correctness rather than virality.
That would be a bold supposition, I think.
I mean, so were pretty much all of the best people in history. That's not a great filter for finding the next hitler, is it?
Recognizing that all people are, well, people would be a good first step on the road to ensuring that we dont all not become paperclips, right?
Yeah, I immediately started humming along with Johnny Paycheck.
Imagine being a senior researcher at the peak of your career, working for 6 months to a year on a paper, submitting it to a top tier conference, getting accepted, then getting the pointy haired boss do-what-I-said-peasant treatment.
Big nope.
It can be used that way, but it doesn't have to;
If I understand correctly, putting the votes on a single blockchain would protect the tally the same way it protects against double-spend attacks.
Make it screen-reader friendly. The modern web sucks for the visually impaired!
> For instance, I cannot say on reddit that BLM by definition checks off all boxes for a terrorist hate group because I will be banned.
I would suggest that this is not true.
Look buddy, it is natural for an NP-Complete problem to be outside of your comfort zone (probably).
e: well? he's polynomial
Well, that's not exactly fair; it does make testable predictions, which is nice, and they should be the kind of thing that we would notice anyway (IIUC) as we get bigger and better tools, which makes it cheap to test, which is also nice.
I agree that it's probably not THE ANSWER, though!
Whoa, slow down there, Satan.
I got a Nokia 8110 4g to use as a secondary phone during not-work times. Can't browse much on a phone with a tabless browser. Also, it is very 90s cool.
Seems like that would happen eventually whether or not NYT did anything, if SSC got famous enough. Though, I wouldn't dare to tell him how important the timeline of that is. It is his life, after all.
This seems like the kind of thing a father might impose on a teenage child and have backfire hugely, not that this is your situation! Not to mention malicious pranks...
However, if it's just for you, maybe you could make the smart home keee $CONDITION until a particular smart contract on the Etherium blockchain changes state, and have the contract keep some money in escrow until one month has elapsed, at which time it is sent back to your wallet. If you cancel early, then the money goes into, say, the pi-hole donation address.
So suppose Urbit is genuinely useful. What is to stop someone from forking it, stripping out the obscurantism, writing friendly documentation, then redistributing galaxies/etc in a different way?
I don't see the moat.
I feel really bad for this undergrad; The student's advisor did not do him any favors by letting him go and give this talk to the IEEE. It is perfect material for clickbait farms and the wider krank-net.
If you can access it, the doi link to the conference paper is:

This is not a serious attempt, and in no way indicates that scientists are starting to "take warp drives seriously." It is pitching that same silly stuff White et al have been promising is "real close now" for around 15 years. I also cringed at the equations and figures that were obviously copy/pasted from White's PDFs to Word and back.
Having this kind of kooky thing hanging from a baby undergraduate's name--a name that I'm not going to propagate on the web for his own good--is not going to help his future career, and everyone involved should feel bad for wasting his time. Sorry this is boiling my grits so badly, am I over reacting or is this awful?
Please do so! Based on this post, I believe you would do a great job.
In honor of Alabama's impending loss to LSU, I present ArcAttack! playing the Imperial March on Tesla Coils and a human being.

Also, Sharon Osbourne gets boo'd.
Saw these guys play at DragonCon a few years back, and it was the bomb. They also played a bunch of chip-tunes through the coils, which seemed to work extra well.
You could call it "Cartomancy"
Because the map IS the territory, in this case.
He's a professor, though, and critcising the left is kind of his specialization.
I think that second sentence this isn't as obvious as the first.
Might get a lawyer to kick the tires on the contract language. I mean, ianal, but that cant be legitimate, can it?
Why do you hate America?
J/k but seriously, this is not the place for this discussion.
You're not wrong. Maslow's hierarchy is a thing.
It also seems to imply a market opening; a VC that looks for and encourages 40 hour per week founders.
Applicant: I prefer emacs
Interviewer: REPENT, SINNER!
Maybe a little data might help your point be taken more seriously.
All kinds of idiots get promoted above their capacities. Women aren't special in that regard.
When an incompetent man gets promoted it's all "Peter Principle, brogrammer, Dilbert joke, hurr durr."
When an incompetent woman gets promoted, it's because she's a woman.
