Yes, it's fed the score as the reward value used. If I'm not wrong, they didn't normalise it across games for the initial paper but normalised it to some range for some of the following research experiments.
It actually goes beyond just making you more frustrated. Venting, or catharsis, makes you feel better in the short term, creating a positive feedback loop in which you seek it out and engage in it more often, making you more aggressive and worsening the situation.

Education in Asia, especially the main cities in the developed nations (Shanghai, Singapore, Seoul etc. ) is pretty much exactly the same. There's many purposes to an education, manifest and overt ones. For example, keeping youths neatly congregated and managed in singular locations, socialisation into specific social archetypes of value etc. We may say that an education is about Finding Your Passion and Being An Educated Person or to Engage Civil Society. But that's pretty much just what we're saying. Tax dollars are the votes at hand, and capitalist society really doesn't value An Education over a populace well-educated to obtain economically-productive jobs that produce tangible wealth.
We want to reverse this trend (overly competitive schooling systems) as much as we want to value philosophers and humanities scholars and artists. Enough to say it, but not quite enough to pour copious amounts of money into it. As students we're told to shoot for the sky. Study harder. Get straighter As. That's best for (capitalist) society. Every human resource neatly and fully expended. Maybe things will change when the data illustrates how people who like their jobs or areas of study are more productive. But that's a big if. The status quo seems easier.
There's a cross platform solution built in Java, Simple Amazon Glacier Uploader (SAGU).

If on Linux there's a nice CLI option too.

It can actually be more X-inefficient (e.g spending indiscriminately) , because it has profits in the long run and won't go broke. I suspect the author was looking for the idea of cost, economies of scale lower average cost, hence increasing a firm's profits, not making workers more productive as he asserts.
It's very easy. Brute-forceable factorization problem. I would be interested in seeing if there were more elegant solutions though, I'm sure there's some optimizations, although the numbers multiplied are prime.
As in Plato's five regimes, democracy is only very slightly better than tyranny/anarchy. Authoritarian single party state can also be rephrased into functioning semi-aristocracy. All governments have advantages and flaws, it's better to compare them not on a theoretical demonized basis but on the output and tangible effects. For example, economically Singapore succeeds fantastically, but culturally it's missing something.
Two small icons next to the field, one for autogeneration (a refresh maybe?) and one for password visibility (an eye like IE uses perhaps, a concept common to other software as well.) Keep the generation code in js client side , and send the plaintext to the server via SSL as always. Normal operation of user creation. The plaintext has to be sent at least once over SSL to get hashed on the server side. Hashing on the client side is generally worse because then you'd be more susceptible to MITM attacks. (Actually, either way you'd be more susceptible. Just rely on strong SSL.)
Definitely agree. As a problem, this is pretty easy. Ask anyone that does competitive algorithmic programming. The linear solution is obvious, I wouldn't say that it requires a eureka moment, even though I didn't bother thinking of the one pass because the difference would be minimal at best (for most inputs.) OP should share what his internship was about, I'd disagree if it had more to do with understanding practical implementation and development than efficency and algorithms. Both are valid skillsets equally useful to twitter.
EDIT:apologies to whoever had to kill the extra posts, my mobile hn client is on the fritz.
If anyone's curious (like I was), a histogram has a continuous variable for it's x-axis, the bars on a histogram correspond to bins of the continuous variable. E.g. 1-10, 11-20, 21-30. In a bar graph, the x-axis is usually a discontinuous variable, typically types, with no specifically meaningful sort order, e.g. in this case, countries. Also, by convention, histograms have no spaces between bars to represent the continuity while bar graphs do to represent the discontinuity. Correct me if I'm wrong.
However, to argue the converse is just as difficult. Can we really reject the hypothesis that genetics has an effect on a person's mental ability? On student success?
While, you argue from a point of pathos, that is that pursuing such genetics-based arguments of ability is dangerous and leads to dangerous situations, it is important to consider that with increasing knowledge of genetics, it is possible that we will find certain genes with impacts on knowledge and ability. I mean, even now, we know at least of genetic bases to diseases that negatively impact intelligence. Who is to say the converse won't happen? In a question of science and ethics, I would argue that it is better that we pursue, to a) not end up in lopsided world power (imagine if only China were to successfully pursue genetic bases for improving education) and b) look at potential ways of improving education across the board. If we do know a genetic bases, that may allow us to better target education. Ability is clearly myriad and manifold, and likely impossible to fully be determined by genetics. There will still be better objective measures than genetics.
To shove aside genetics effects on student success just on potential ethical ramifications might not be a very good idea.
In decimal, when you reach numbers after 9, there's no longer a single symbol you can use to represent the next number. Hence, you represent it as 10, which is one 10 and zero 1s. 11 is one 10 and one 1. This decimal, or base 10 system hence uses only 10 symbols, (0-9). In base 36, you can use additional other symbols, up to 36 different symbols. In this case they are 0-Z, changing to the letters of the alphabet A-Z as the remaining 26 unique symbols needed. Hence A is 11, B is 12 ... Z is 35. 36 (base 10) is then represented as 10 (base 36), one 36 and zero ones. 36^2 = 1296 (base 10) would be represented as 100 (base 36).
If you're in chrome, open up dev tools, then hit resources, find the local storage on the left bar and click on the url. You'll see a gamestate key and the value. Copy the value, that's the entire game state. You can then create that same key on whatever other browser with that value.
I'm not sure (primarily because I can't see the images) but that sounds like a basic flood fill question doesn't it? Does everyone in Vietnam do competitive algorithmic programming? (That sounds like what you're describing.) That's really interesting, because where I'm from that's typically taken only on interest, and there aren't that many interested.
Moonwalking with Einstein. Not particularly new but a pretty entertaining book on the Art of Memory. Not particularly useful (the book kind of says so itself) but insightful and methods of loci is still a marginally useful skill to have.
A lot of the time I read interesting stuff that's perhaps tangentially relevant, but not directly relevant to what I'm doing at the moment. And then I get stuck with this annoying problem of not really remembering what was there when I actually do need that article/advice/news/knowledge. Your tip on searching past links is useful. Thanks :)
I think that the many people who struggle learning to touch-type would disagree heavily with you regarding how intuitive a keyboard is. I'm pretty certain we could come up with a more natural method of input, however that could have the potential to diminish the important characteristic you raised regarding explicit and specific input.
