If you can do traffic interception, there's a pretty good chance there's going to be traces of price levels in the API and the analytics. Especially since it's probably going to be bolted on to the side of anything PCI compliant. If there isn't, then it's probably going to be really easy to subpoena to prove mens rea, because getting that right is tricky and requires a fair amount of review and coordination.
I'd assume the point is that they think that the possibility of serving the website to an individual physically within a prohibited country constitutes unacceptable liability.
I actually own this, but I find that, in practice, remembering the mappings is tricky for most players. Also, it's surprisingly annoying to not have rotationally symmetric cards, or needing to hold the cards in a different way.
I would love to own this deck but I can tell I would be way too irritated when trying to actually use it. It's like an art piece dedicated to combinatorics.
In my multideck I mitigated this by using emojis as suits, so you can write notes on your phone. For the Everdeck you can use: ♣♠♥♦ coin, crown, moon, star (hacker news doesn't support emojis)
Those card suits in that post show up (for everyone) in HN because they are the proto-emoji ancient "Wingdings range" further encoded in the direction of HN without an emoji presentation variation selector. (Emoji presentation selector will color them, so hearts and diamonds would be more red, among other subtle distinctions in most fonts/OSes today.)
The number of "proto-emoji" that HN does not block is interesting given HN's preference to block emoji, but also illustrates some of the fun compatibility complexity of Unicode.
Yeah :c I feel the same way. They’ve made a variant with more traditional poker deck look but the same rank/suits of the ever deck that I’m excited to try one day
It's not the delivery that takes that long. It's the printing. It's a print on demand item, printed in the United States. The decks don't currently exist and the current print queue is just that long. If you want to jump the queue, that will be extra.
It's not interactive. It's just an extremely brief brochure for the actual service, which is available via SSH. All the useful copy is under the About link at the bottom, which is so light as to fail WCAG contrast standards.
It matches my usual reading pretty closely. Society gives names to things that aren't real and then argues about them. Twitter is a microcosm of this with their own categories and assemblages of ideas that are even less real than those present in broader society.
OP's twist on the cave allegory is funny and makes sense if you take the usual modern reading, but that is very much not what Plato meant by it.
It was just a way for him to convey his "theory of forms" in which perfect versions of all things exist somewhere, and everything we see are mere shadows of these true forms. The men in the cave are his fellow Athenians who refuse his "obvious" truth, he who has peeked out of the cave and seen the true forms. All in all, it's very literal.
It seems like there are two sides to this problem, both of which are hard and go hand in hand. There is the HCI problem of having abstractions are rich enough to handle problems like parsing and scheduling on the GPU. Then you need a sufficiently smart compiler problem of lowering these problems to the GPU. But of course, there's a limit to how smart a compiler can be, which loops back to your abstraction design.
Overall, it seems to be a really interesting problem!
