US and Canada should invest more in finding a treatment for opioid addiction. A drug that cures heroin addiction would save so many lives and helps people reach their true potential.
There is a treatment for opioid addiction, it's called methadone. It works very well and it takes a very long time. The US actually did exactly what you said, it was American doctors and universities who developed the programs now used around the world.
Fantastic news! So, in British Columbia, may I enjoy one next to someone who is doing heroin, and is allowed to? (Getting tired of clarifying my unanswered question.)
Microsoft Publisher was great for making banners and posters for small businesses. It’s basically free for people with Office. Anyone knows a suitable replacement? Is it all Canva from now on?
His sentencing is in February. According to the plea deal, he waives his right to appeal any sentence not more than 18 months, so he might still be in jail for a short period.
According to the Twitter thread linked, at the beginning there were only 30 items, so using bubblesort didn't matter. The number of items has since grown to a thousand.
Bubble/selection sort with early exit can win outright on big lists if they're already almost in order. Textbook example years ago was cheque numbers which mostly are presented in order.
I don't think this is SPP. SPP highlights in the difference between the mathematically optimal choice and the choice chosen in practice. It is a difference between theory and practice. The problem proposed in this article occurs even in theory alone. Non-ergodicity means there is a mismatch between "the average of all possibilities in the next time-step" and "the long-term trend of one datapoint".
If we put bounds on the bank in SPP, the first coin toss would still have positive EV. In the new ergodicity problem, even with bounds on the bank, it is unclear whether the "first" coin toss is worth taking.

Not if the bank starts with $0. 0 is just as valid a bound as a trillion. You can’t calculate the EV without knowing how much the bank has, and once you know that, you realize the naive calculation for EV is wrong.
fun fact: an average "policy debate" speaker speaks 350 words per minute and is completely unintelligible to an average person. They speak faster than auctioneers. A "policy debate" is not your average debate and is more like its own sport. The goal is to cram so many arguments into the limited time that your opponents cannot address them all.
