In other words, some people just discovered the children's joke that you can lie to someone and then make fun of them for being "gullible", destroying your credibility in the process.

The homepage ad is amazing. It makes me want to put my phone away and play outside.

the anti-piracy crippleware garbage is the worst part.

Iwata was right until video game hardware became deeply commodified. "AI" toys are getting big (as annoying as that is), that's where Iwata's vision has potential.

You _know_ Nintendo is going to publish a high-quality game, because they've been doing that for a hundred years.

Maintain a single-unified opt-out, meticulously maintained, centralized voter registration database, is at risk for authoritarian abuse for cataloging and targeting people.

Why should Federal government care who lives in Florida, aside from a population estimate for the Electoral College? That's Florida's business.

> Should you be able to vote without registering?

Maybe. Maybe voter rolls should be some sort of bio-token that proofs your uniqueness and existence, and your approximate location (to determine local eligibility) but uses a pseudonym and is not connected to anything like your taxes, drivers license, etc.

If something is harmful, ineffective grandstanding (and then losing a FISA fight) are worthless.

ordinally, not cardinally. Ordinal means Order, Cardinal means Size.

And choosing "0" to mean "absent" is as arbitary and misguided (unless you are optimizing bits and cycles on a low-powered machine) as choosing "-1" to mean "absent"

Offset (distance, 0-based) and Ordinal (position, 1-based) are two different things, and the confusion disappears when your program/language properly treats different types.

it's a measured correlation.

There's also a lot of denial of autism in the Somali immigrant community, with traditional supernatural explanations of autistic behaviors.

likely hard to get good data on that.

The levels overlap and vary by environment. Your truck can be level 5 on long stretch of highway, but then ring alarm bells and (if necessary, if the driver does not take over) slow down to a graceful stop on the shoulder before exiting the highway or maneuvering through a checkpoint or delivery.

Rebelliousness, while may be a valuable skill, is different from intelligence.

So you practice patterns to raise your score.

Also, "general intelligence" ("G) is a hypothesized abstract concept, not well-defined. The non-existence of a non-gameable IQ test shows that G is not well defined.

Professor Gelman's preferred term is "PPNAS". You mustn't forget the prestige.

People with families or physical social obligations care.

if people have so much flexibility, why does rush hour exist?

If one driver in 20 is a rubbernecker, all the cars slow down.

that part is saying that once an IP gets a password correct, don't count past mistakes against them.

Yes, but Disney never solved the problem of how expensive it is to run that service -- they just got people to pay. Will self-driving cars be cheap enough? They save money on the driver, but cost money in the automation hardware and security against vandalism/theft.

Progressivism is tricky -- the definition of the word is for continual change. So, no progressive agenda of Year X would be progressive in Year X+20. A successfu progressive in Year X would be pushing progress the margin choices of the day. In Year X+20, a different set of choices are at the margin. No effective progressive in Year X would have the same agenda in Year X+20.

"authoritarian" isn't a left/right issue. Mao and Stalin were leftist authoritarians.

Your claim that authoritarianism is non-centrist is not obvious, I don't even agree it's true.

And here you see the problem in the US having a fixed inauguration date.

In parliamentary countries, where the government can vote to dissolve itself, they tend to call for elections whenever the governing coalition is unstable, and elections can take as long as needed, and be re-held as needed.

didn't help me understand the point of your story, but did cast doubt on your credibility.

It seems like the article is long way around of saying that people want or need nicer accommodations than today's shelters. The difference between a "shelter" and a "hotel" is (a) of/how you pay (minor detail), and (b) the quality of the accommodation (privacy, security, comfort).

an automated truck doesn't mean a driverless truck. it means the driver can be sleeping/tweeting/whatever during the boring hours between checkpoints/stops.

No, grandparent's point was the the AI data dump is misdirection from the actual trading logic.
