@rudeboys1982 @TheSpitfire @Rob_McPhee_UK You can't pick the order here. The order has to be the order in which they appear in the search results.

@ColeMadeCoal @532atMTGO Read what reaction? OP's opponent had priority after resolving the Preordain, OP didn't have any opportunity to react to anything between the end of the original resolution and the moment the opponent changed their mind. There was no info gained here.

@AFazeli @LauraKirk12 Oh, you may laugh, but scapegoat's etymology *is actually* "escape goat" :)

@surphs__upp @jani_penttinen @Sketchy0j @piyushmittal Nah, you don't need one. Most int'l airports worldwide do airside transfers so you don't enter the transit country along the way. E.g., from Dakar to the US she may transfer at CMN, AMS, CDG, BRU and many other places with just an almost-expired US passport and nothing else.

@BryanG33 @prez017 Yeah, but you can't pull more money out of thin air. My point was that given the amount they had, they still did choose an appropriately flat payout structure.

[Michal Forišek @misofac]

@BryanG33 @prez017 Unsure what you mean by "abandoned the philosophy" when they're literally doing the thing you quote in that article. At Waco this year the average payoff for 15th-45th place in MPO was over $500.

@ZiziguluMTG @JimDavisMTG Eh... you'll see this hand roughly once every 5000 draws with your deck. Not even close to a royal flush.

@hyusapx For "posh" it gives the false etymology "port out, starboard home". For "policy" it invents a 'Latin' suffix "-cia". As with other AI stuff, you'll have no idea when it's telling you the truth and when it's feeding you plausible nonsense.

@ChadNauseam @shmall There are numbers like https://t.co/sNSwDTMxCv that *can* be computed more and more accurately but aren't computable because you don't know when to stop / how close you are. You cannot even test *in*equality because you don't know whether you'd get a more precise value later.

[Michal Forišek @misofac]

@ChadNauseam @shmall Nice writeup! One place where you are a tad inaccurate is the sentence "Constructive real numbers are those numbers that you can compute more and more accurately." What should have been there is something like "... that you can compute to any given precision". [1/2]

[Michal Forišek @misofac]

@arpit_bhayani Also, your "worst case" should have been just "worst-case expected", both in the old conjecture and in the algorithm's result. The best we can have for the actual worst case is to reach those bounds *with high probability* (which the paper does). [2/2]

[Michal Forišek @misofac]

@arpit_bhayani Not a great summary. It's still obviously impossible to avoid O(n) worst-case. The paper doesn't do that. Also, it doesn't "look linearly", it uses nested hashes to produce very specific probe sequences (different for insertion and search). [1/2]

@EERandomness @__femb0t Nah, nowhere close :) What happened to your nostrils?

@coreyperstrada @bashmcalister A playtest card. A small number of these was printed to test and tweak MtG before the first edition (Alpha and Beta) went to print.

[Michal Forišek @misofac]

@mtg_ds The data set you used for English word frequencies probably assigned all occurrences of "fig." (as in "figure") to the word "fig". The word "fig" itself is nowhere near as frequent as its position on your list suggests.

@AllThingsQuiz What is the first name of the doctor who currently uses social media accounts with the handle @flotus? Soon, she will transfer those accounts back to another lady who used them before her.

@Tretty_k @Jenn_the_Judge The setup here is that you already are one of the seven.

[Michal Forišek @misofac]

@klug_alters For these rulings, be as literal as possible. A borderless card printing does not have any border, so no protection. If this cardboard cutout of Mario is used as a token, the Knight *does* have protection from it because it does have a black border.

@AllThingsQuiz According to Isaac Newton's 1675 letter taken literally, his superior vision has been enabled by what creature supporting each of his feet?
