i'm happy

it looks like you get some random digits added to your username... "myname.69" for exmple. this is to make it harder for attackers to guess according to the app...

does this mean there can be multiple people with "myname" but with different numbers? or is myname unique?

if you account for fapping.

yes this is what I'm trying to say! please up doot mods

the ai isn't really passing when behind... it's paying when ahead but just sort of agreeing to go to counting when the territory is not fully defined.

in human go if there's a dispute in counting you go back to play to settle disputed stones.

this is still somewhat interesting, but much less impressive than a novel strategy that could get to the end of a game and actually win. this is a glitch not a more meaningful weakness to special tactics

the code for when to pass is bad. this isn't as interesting as the first part of the article makes it sound.

I assume there's some sort of tamper proofing on the iron key? But it can't be perfect.

if EVE is rEADing thE maIL and SHE can't undERSTand it hOW can BOB read it it?

this is a totally reasonable question, but the answer is very complicated. I'm a novice who has only read applied cryptography. It involves proof of work.

TL;DR you cast an encrypted vote publicly tied to your name. The votes are added together encrypted (cool right?) and then only the national total of votes get decrypted by a carefully chosen group of enemies who all need to turn keys at the same time (or alternately m/n must cooperate) presumably they wouldn't all collude to decrypt the individual votes.

The problem here is that they don't want to pay to get a "new" plane certified. The process is expensive, and then pilots need to be trained on the "new" plane.

The 737 max is a design nightmare created out of a desire to keep stretching this lie that all their new models are still "just a 737 with a tweak"

People called out this bullshit, but boeing managed to push it through regulators. Pasting from wikipedia:
Chief executive Dai Whittingham of the independent trade group UK Flight Safety Committee disputed the idea that the MAX was just another 737, saying, "It is a different body and aircraft but certifiers gave it the same type rating."

If you only ever play mobile, the new switch lite is probably right up your alley. $200 and mobile-only

I came here to say this

There's a bit of handwaving in the introduction concerning the garbage collector. There's a compiler option to turn it off allowing you to manually manage memory, but what if libraries you're using aren't all written to manually clean up after themselves? It seems to me that one of two things will happen:

1. Not everybody in the community manually manages their memory, making the --gc=none option impossible to use in practice.
2. Everybody is required to manually manage their memory so that others can gc off, effectively making the memory management mandatory.

So unless there's something more to this it seems like it's really just punting the gc decision to the community and creating confusion and uncertainty.

Can anybody with more knowledge maybe clear this up?

you joke, but seriously, read about the Jains. They do try not to kill plants, eating no roots, and ideally no leaves, just fruits. Nor do they eat honey or milk. And your logical conclusion is accurate. The highest austerity is starvation.

As an example Chandragupta of Maruya conquered India through military action at first, but became a Jain and continued his conquest through diplomatic marriage. In the end he became an ascetic and fasted himself to death.

it's almost like a triple eclipse

you are either a troll or like 8 years old.

you raise one good point at the end though: ballot stuffing. it is a real problem.

one way this is handled is by collecting and publishing a list of eligible voters ahead of time, and only producing one ticket per voter, and provide a mechanism for a voter who has NOT voted to verify that their vote was not counted.

i'm not sure if the method talked about in this video addresses this issue well...

i think that this method has been around for a while though, maybe 5-10 years. i got very excited about it when i first read it, but it is hard to explain, and so i don't think it will ever be used...

condorcet voting would also be nice, but suffers the same problems
