It might not be hard to code chess if you're already an accomplished programmer. For a high-schooler, a beginner, the student has to learn the basics of some computer language, the concepts behind procedures and functions, what bits and bytes and floats are, and on and on.
The only people I can see overlooking the bias and obvious agenda of Chomsky are going to be people looking for confirmation of a position they already hold. FTFY
The Sieve of Eratosthenes is a general method to find all prime numbers. To the best of my knowledge, there is no algebraic function that given an integer input always produces a prime.
Their beliefs influence what they do once they're in power, particularly if they're term limited. For instance, consider the prisoner releases from Guantanamo.
The Democratic Party was formed in 1832 to promote and protect race-based slavery, and in that regard it has never changed. In 1896 William Jennings Bryan extended the party's philosophy to class-based theft.
Keeping blacks poor and unhappy is the ongoing Democratic Party policy to keep blacks voting for Democrats.
The wall was actually voted for and appropriations passed for. It's the executive branch that's failed to build it, first the immigrant-supporting Bush and now Obama. A pro-fence President can make it happen.
You seem to think that Trump's stands on issues, when they can be exhumed from the bluster, align with Tea Party stands. 'Taint so; his views are all over the map but particularly align with the Progressive fallacy that effective administration can make anything work.
Health insurance is not health care, and people who ignore the distinction are being dishonest.
No fiddling with the "social safety net" will reduce gun violence. End drug laws so that the profit goes out of that violent criminal enterprise. Eliminate minimum wage laws so that unskilled minority youths can get jobs. "The devil finds work for idle hands" expresses just part of what's wrong with giving people money when they should be using time and effort to earn it.
The United States already has a glut of party schools and bogus degrees. A master's thesis on the history of lesbian figurines represents 5 wasted years of the student's life and a professor's unearned income.
Go look for it. It's a religious exemption, and if you aren't working for yourself you'll have to negotiate with your employer to get the "employer's portion" of SS. It's more than just a form, you have to file with the gov't and get an official exemption number. Do it while you're young, it doesn't make sense if you've been paying in for 20 years or so.
Having health-care insurance is not doing "everything right". It's buying into a complex system that doubly disconnects the recipient of health care from entity paying the bills. The patient doesn't pay the bills, and he doesn't know what is paid to the insurance company that does pay the bills, because in most cases the patient's employer is buying the insurance. The patient has no incentive to keep expenses low and negligible incentive to even keep himself healthy. The result is high nationwide healthcare expenses.
National healthcare makes things bad in the same way with an additional disadvantage. Government bureaucrats are pushed to lower costs and have no incentive to keep people alive in later life when medicine becomes expensive. Grandpa needs cancer treatment and doesn't have political pull? The bean counter will refuse gramp's treatment and get a bonus because social security payments will stop too.
A true analysis of medical costs can't be made without taking account of everything that's going on.
Hillary Clinton does not have her husband's slimy charm. Even if she evades legal responsibility for her unending felonious activities, she won't be able to defend herself politically. If she wins, the electorate is so defective that there is truly no hope.
Trump has many businesses, and if he wanted to he could make each new building a new corporation.Since most new businesses fail, his record of only 4 failures is actually pretty impressive. I wouldn't want to do business with Trump for a host of reasons, but failure rate is not one of them.
Rather than directly answer your question, I'll address a side issue. The quest for perfection tends to generate very bad political movements. In an effort to end drunkenness, prohibitionists made many aspects of alcohol illegal, resulting in increased drunkenness and criminal organizations that have never been eradicated. The quest for human perfection was one excuse for the killing sprees of both Stalin and Hitler.
That's a nasty interpretation of Deuteronomy chapter 22 verses 28-29, which is bad enough as it stands. The text says "unbetrothed", not underage or some other synonym. The word "rape" or some synonym is not used, although it can reasonably be inferred. He's not "allowed" to keep the female, he's forced to: having despoiled her, he's required to support her indefinitely. As another indication that the man's action is frowned on, he's required to pay the female's father "50 silver shekels", which (as far as can be equated across the millennia) is about $250.
Reading the reviews on the Harbor Freight website usually gives enough info to choose wisely. I have a 3/8" power drill that's reliable and easy to use, but... let it stall for 2 seconds and it starts smoking. That flaw is there in a review, and I decided to live with it.
Intel has a substantial advantage with process technology, which is the long-term result of having more money to utilize. As time goes on, physics is reducing the advantage that can be gained with a better process. Some day that advantage will be so small that a better architecture will outweigh process advantage, and if AMD can live till then it stands a fair chance of matching Intel's performance.
Reforming copyright (and maybe patents) is a good idea, abolishing them is not. Authors that can make a fair living when paperbacks sell for $7.00 will leave the field when every published book is available from China at $1.00 a week after release.
Not that it would help AMD enough to beat Intel even if the playing field were level, but Intel makes the best X86 compiler and they've been caught cheating by not performing some optimizations when an AMD processor is detected. So design a benchmark and use Intel's compiler, Intel's processor will beat AMD's by a lot. Compile with GCC, Intel will beat AMD by less, and each processor's times with GCC will be inferior to its times with the Intel compiler. (That was the case several years ago, things might have changed.)
Tom's Hardware occasionally comparison-tests equivalent AMD and Intel processors. Intel always comes out on top overall, and seldom loses more than a couple of individual tests.
My particular critical application is refocus routines in GIMP, and waiting 2 minutes for a single iteration is a nuisance. I doubt that AMD would be better.

Actually, the most significant hexadecimal digit is 1.
I am altering the treaty. Pray I don't alter it any further

If a mostly-Republican Congress won't impeach a Democrat President clearly guilty of treason, what makes you think Congress would impeach Trump?

Two wrongs don't make a right, and the second wrong you deliberately evade is the set of laws that require emergency rooms to take everyone.

Obama's pandering is based on hatred of success and racial hatred. Trump is far more honorable than Obama can even imagine.

Obama and his wife were earning heaps of money for essentially no effort prior to his election.

If your nose hits the ramp before the wheels, use some scrap lumber to build a gradual slope in front of the ramp.
Place a large cheap mirror alongside the car so that you can see the position of the wheel on the ramp. Or get a friend to tell you when to stop.
I don't have a solution to keep the ramps from moving, although if you work on dirt instead of pavement you can dig the ramp into the dirt a little.
