I don't see anything wrong with it. Honestly it is your post that sounds off to me. You're implying that somehow Human Interest is discriminating against people with Asperger's but…

My favourite abstract algebra textbook is Fraleigh's A First Course in Abstract Algebra . Unlike the article here, which just dumps you a bunch of definitions, the book introduces …

In TFA, "slow morning" doesn't mean waking up late. It means waking up early but taking your time before starting work. If you're a night owl you're probably not doing slow morning…

Tokyo's public transit system is overrated IMO. Sure, trains and subways cover a lot of ground and are usually on time, but most of the lines are well over 100% crowdedness during …

Forced? That sounds a bit too 1984-ish. I believe in a more Brave New World future, where people will pay good money to get chipped and the only "natties" (unchipped people) will b…

What do you mean by "actually reflecting the world"? If you mean using objective criteria of some sort, how would that help deciding if the week starts on Sunday or Monday, or what…

No one. That's the joke.

It's clickbaity as hell. If anything, I wish it was more "negative" about India; instead of talking about why people take part in lynchings and why they are so common in the countr…

In a surprising turn of events, the user showed they did care. > “@okcupid how am I supposed to get my daily dose of crushing rejection and emotional humiliation if your site is do…

Banks do lend against receivables.

Japan.

Where I live permanent employees are protected, so the probability of being legally fired for disclosing my salary is 0, and the probability of illegally being fired should be very…

> Posting with a throwaway for obvious reasons. Not obvious to me at all. Weed is already legal in several states in the US; weed use is far from taboo on HN; you have FU money. So…

AFAIK such cards make money primarily on breakage, i.e., points that people buy but do not use.

AFAIK the main reason is that Japanese whiskeys started getting awards and demand exploded. Even here in Japan they're expensive, to the extent that scotch has a better bang to the…

In Japan too.

Two things that are missing from the article: 1) because of this problem, the government is considering keeping Heisei for a while after the emperor steps down https://minhan.jp/45…

Presumably tlb meant what is humanly possible...

Wait, how's the 24h x 5000 TPUs relevant? That is training time, and that training corresponds to years and years of hardcoding evaluations in Stockfish, not to compute time during…

I'm pretty sure starting from zero is the point of the Leela-Zero. If they started from Stockfish, it wouldn't be a replication of AlphaZero.

FCM is one game that I prefer to play online. The physical version is a pain to play.

Other games that use simultaneous action: 7 Wonders and one of my top 5 games, Race for the Galaxy.

Thanks for doing this. For those who are looking into taking up boardgames, I highly recommend Codenames.

Besides, there's very little politics in niche subreddits. I'm subscribed to /r/pic (not /r/pics!), /r/flute, /r/stonerrock, /r/chess, /r/boardgames, /foreignmovies, /r/vermicultur…
