3-3 invasion takes teritory at the expense of influence (future potential). I think I improved a lot when I stopped 3-3ing (it opened up different style of game for me) Noobies lov…

Some part yes (maybe..). But I doubt that it’s majority. Whatever policy you implement, end result must be that stuff costs more and people live with less: virtually no personal ca…

I would like to label guilt/innocence as irrelevant. The scenario above, describes the dynamics of how incentives work. As long as consumers expect stuff to be cheap, somebody will…

Lets start with best country of the world that is made of 300 million consumers and 1000 factory owners (also known as polluters) each of which has identical share of the market. T…

if you replace “they” with “prime minister that is hanging by a thread for quite some time”, you would get my personal conspiracy theory.

Not the author, but I assume he is not against you taking over. Code is still there if you are willing. (It is not too late)

How extensive safety testing of a hammer should be? Should there be double blind clinical trials for it’s health impact when caried daily on a tool belt? For most people, answer wi…

Can’t argue on that. More transparency is always good for end user.

I think what parent meant was, all poplar art tries to sarisfy some “algorithm”. (Algorithm of what will masses listen to) 20 years ago that was trying to pick good ratios of bass,…

Does art need to “make a statement”? I think: - It is subjective. - if you enjoy it, then it is art. Doing music for profit is not a new concept, just look at pop music (and especi…

Is that actually sketchy though? - Each artist has different royalties, some are more expensive than others. - appearantly people do listen to ”cheaper” artists, in right circumsta…

Nice. Are these numbers the same: “0.5 in base10” and “0.1 in base2”?

I have a further nitpick regarding terminology. Wording like “game is more complex” overal seems incorrect. Game is not complex by itself (for example go rules are extreemly simple…

Is 1/10 (also known as 0.1) a valid number in base 10? What about same number expressed in base 3? (I think in base 3 that would be written as 1/31) And what about number 0.1 in ba…

In neibhouring thread that deeper difference appeared to be: “PI is not actually a number.”

> 1/3 is also a special kind of procedure. Important to note: When ggp asked for a recursive procedure to generate real numbers, they wanted that exactly same proceedure would gene…

Fun. What about 1/3, 1/7, …? Previously outlines recursive procedure doesn’t generate those. But yeah, if you deny existance of irrational numbers, and redefine Real:=Rational, the…

Thanks for reply. When will this reach PI or e or sqrt(2)? (There are infinitely many numbers that will not be reached by this procedure)

1, 1.1, 1.01, 1.001, … This will never reach 2, so it will not generate all real numbers. (Which was what parent was asking for, to recusively generate all R)

> proof of infinity This combination of words seems strange. Like: proof of ‘zero’ or proof of ‘left’. All of them have definitions, not proofs. (Qualitative distinction of differe…

Problem is that unknown unknows are not actionable. You dont even know what or where to look for them. (Though I agree regarding hubris part)

Are audiobooks much easier for you than physical books? (I’m just comparing notes)

Might be abit too dramatic regarding consequences. Mentoring is force multiplier in virtualy all scenarios, but there is a fraction of people who are self starting eager readers, t…
