Privatize the gains, socialize the losses. Even in the news.

I hated when textbooks/papers did this. Half the time you can't tell if they meant to use the bold letter or if the printer was just being generous on that character. Made legibility quite a bit more difficult. BB letters are unam

Not the OP, but here's my observation: When I have to stop at a light until it turns green, I have to navigate the intersection while the cars around me are entering it as well. Suddenly there's a car trying to pass me, a car in t

Is this comment supposed to be the hook for a short story or film where you slowly learn that you're actually the grandson of the impostor?

My father still has his an HP-41CX he was given for his HS graduation in the early 80s, which he had restored about a decade ago. He uses it mainly, but not exclusively, when he wants to show it off.

I don't mean any personal offense, but as an American I associate this behavior with "you can't afford not to travel" and "eating $regionalFood in $location has ruined the dish for me; I can't eat it anywhere e

I'm pretty sure these racial categories are American abstractions, whose names have only reflected their composition in recent decades. The Irish, for instance, were long not considered 'white'; they were just 'Irish&#x2

I just meant that I haven't made any efforts to keep google from snooping on me through that phone. So I get all the convenience of e.g. google screening my calls and waiting on hold for me, with all the associated privacy concerns, as

It probably should be explained. Their classification makes sense, but I think some may be misled. The demographic of people getting older phones and running LineageOS would probably be comfortable with managing a few obnoxiously tiny screw

Coincidentally, yesterday my father handed me his old Moto X 2014 with a shattered screen, asking me if I wanted to do anything with it before he trashed it. I wiped it and installed lineageOS, which is what I'm using to write this com

Are you referring to the time the US air force built a cluster out of 2000 PS3s? Seems good.

Big if true. Clicking around arXiv and google scholar, I get the sense the author is legitimate. But I wouldn't be surprised if some technical barrier was found by another expert. I don't think the author has published anything in

That's just 'democratization' of the word 'democratization', man.

Ramirez is doing the twitch stream, though you're right that he was able to balance out how the computer analysis affected his commentary. OTOH, I felt that as an event dragged on, he'd rely more and more on the machine to tell th

A great example at how computers affect chess commentary is the currently ongoing tournament in St. Louis. On youtube, the game is broadcast by people using an engine to evaluate the position they're looking at, and on twitch, two gran

I just read about 70% of The Power Broker before having to return it to the library - what a book. I was surprised at how easy it was to read something so long, with often pretty banal subject matter. Reading it reminded me of that piece of

That's true if you want to play 1...e5 against 1.e4, but you don't have to. Obviously, every opening has its various traps and cheeses, but if you hated the fried liver so much, why not try the sicilian or the french?

Where do you get 0 though? They're currently worth $5,500. So 10% of $5,500 is actually $550.

"You mean I have to worry about the consequences of my actions? Why can't I just bury my head in the sand and make tons of money?" Plenty (most? all?) large businesses do this. It isn't good for the world.

Or maybe, it makes sense to identify why something failed and label it as such.
