For a long time I've wanted to use something like this to remove advertisements from hockey games.The moving ads on the boards are really annoying. Maybe I'll get around to actually doing that one of these days.

What would have to change for you to consider it a country? It has a government, there has been talk of a European Army. It has a sovereign currency. If it is the squabbling between constituent states: hello from Canada! Check out our politics.

Treating something as entertainment does not prevent you from learning from it, or taking what it says as fact. I learned a lot about the structure of the US government from reading Tom Clancy.

No one is mistaking that as a documentary but he is still able to insert a lot of his biases into it.

When I was in highschool and having a rough time (nothing like these kids are going through) then I really liked hockey because for 60 mins only the game mattered, none of the other bull shit. I don't think I could get that at a robotics club, maybe you could.

That criticism seems to conflate culture with skin. The NHL has a culture where bring the spotlight on individuals is frowned upon (For a long time having a high number on you sweater was considered showboaty). The article wants to call this "white culture" that is unwelcoming to people of colour. That seems wrong to me.

I'm pretty far out of my area of expertise, so I'll take your word for it. Could an an algorithm be correct, but not proven correct, or is it defined as a heuristic at that point?

I think it's even less useful, even if P = NP it is possible that no one finds an algorithm. Creating a (useful) algorithm is independent of proving the theorem. Also interesting is that someone could create an algorithm that solves NP complete in polynomial time without proving P=NP. They would be unable to prove the algorithm correct though.
