alasdair_ might be referring to WotC's lack of support for the 1996 Netrunner. One major expansion that really did fix a lot of things, then the poorly-distributed Classic (which had mechanics that showed great promise; facedown runner cards could have been a huge boon for bluffing complexity on that end of the board), and that was pretty much it.
They should be more.
I think the article is talking about lower-level IaaS/PaaS.
There's certainly reason to be optimistic about it:

Despite their destructiveness in earlier decades, I'm willing to loan Microsoft cash for 30 days for double my money back. Where do I buy?
I was thinking about raising this subject too. I am in the same situation - two kids 4 and 8. Me and my wife are both working from home.

Few things we do

1) wake up early, get most of the work done while they are asleep - usually 3-4 hrs. And another couple during their afternoon nap time.

2) split the rest of the day between the two of us so that one of us works, and the other looks after/plays with them.

3) We have quite a few books/board games/legos in the house which helps. Also give them drawing/coloring time. I would say stock up on coloring supplies and give them a free hand.

4) we limit their TV time to 1-1.5 max hr per day. No other screen time.

5) With a toddler it is really difficult as they need constant attention. One thing we do is to encourage the elder one to involve the younger one in his pretend play. That works out for some time :).

Even with all this, along with the household chores, it is really tough to make it through the day.

One more suggestion is to clearly delineate your work time from your home time. Avoid working while having coffee/lunch/snack, talking to your wife. These small moments sap into you which you could otherwise use to recharge. Over the day, over many days, they add up.
You're not telling the full story. That approval was for compassionate use, i.e. it can be used in patients who are already in grave danger of death, because at that point it can't hurt and there's nothing known to have a chance of helping anyway.

And the article you're referencing chooses to link press releases, but only vaguely mention studies not only without linking but without even providing enough information to identify them - which hardly inspires confidence.

And the subreddit from which you're getting it is...wow. Just an absolute heap of fear-driven misinformation, and while I'm not without compassion for the people there who feel the urge to do something to protect themselves in the face of a very frightening situation, it's important to try to keep a clear enough head to understand the difference between developing knowledge and multiplying tiny probabilities into meaningless, misleading rumors. That subreddit is doing the second one of those, not the first. For the sake of your own emotional wellbeing, please consider taking it less seriously.

edit: Oh, sorry, I hadn't noticed that the people posting in that subreddit are basically 90% you. So, I guess I'm warning everybody else off it, and asking you to consider doing less of this, in the cause of everyone else's emotional wellbeing.
Its not like that at all. Planes are mostly fly by wire anyway today, so i m not sure why it would be harder to do that. You 're aware that drones fly remotely , right?
Part of the mythology of western capitalism (as it is practiced) is that it's 100% market based. But as you've noticed, it's actually a whole bunch of centrally planned hierarchical petty dictatorships bumping and grinding like boulders in a sea of small businesses like sand grains. Sometimes one of the small businesses will swell up and become a boulder, and sometimes a boulder will crumble.

The main advantages of the market seems to be that failure is usually localized and containable -- although we came frighteningly close to a widespread meltdown in 2008 -- and, arguably, markets are better at promoting information flow and responding to new demands (although I suspect the growth of IP law and the existence of trade secrets counteract this to some extent).

But it's worth noting that the mean life expectancy of a publicly quoted corporation is around 30 years -- and the USSR made it through just over seven decades.
Minus the shootings, rape and murder though. 1, 2, 3, 4.... among many.

Do you have to be in the room for a certain number of hours and stay up until a certain time of night.

Im sure me livestreaming what i fo in a hotel would be super boring. Reading and then falling asleep to a documentary or podcast.
There were rumours of the atrocities, but probably the first public testimonies were the Auschwitz Protocols, based on first-hand experiences of a few concentration camp escapees. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Auschwitz_Protocols)
Uh, Google's main job is to rank results according to what other people find helpful. There is no truly objective way to do this. The closest you can get is to define "objective" the way pollsters do, as a way of understanding average opinions.

What does "average" mean here, though? Do you rank restricted sites higher if more people have accounts?

They could probably do a better job if they knew what you're subscribed to. For example, people with a Quora account or Washington Post subscription should get that ranked higher. But this would mean telling Google more about you, which seems to be unpopular around here?
I would gladly pay a monthly payment to have this type of feature on my Google searches and more stuff.
Especially a bin with tons of people standing really close to.
I think mister Philby disagrees with you.
The same dynamics as with pop music. App business is show business to a large degree (specifically the part where people largely buy from the top list or from friend's recommendation).
It's hard to imagine that working in a way that was free from scammers. People with rare conditions are already targeted by con men, internet fundraising is targeted by con men, I think it would implode.
There are quite a few that have not done it. I don't think it's necessary for success at all.

HN seems to be doing pretty well, and it's never done this sort of thing, as far as I know.

Reddit never did it during their growth phase, instead they provided their own seed content.

Metafilter has never done anything unethical to my knowledge.

There are many, many successful social networks which have not performed unethical contact harvesting and other shady things.

I agree with you, but just want to clarify for others who don't understand why the parent misused the term AI effect. AI effect is more related to the fact that once you understand the trick behind the magic you no longer believe the task to require intelligence, even though it is still able to do an amazing task that wasn't possible before and had for centuries been thought off as requiring intelligence and something that only humans could do.

That the current AI techniques couldn't work for every imaginable task, and that people believed they might isn't a case of the AI effect. That's just hype, and possibly another coming case of the AI freeze.

The AI effect will be how in 5 or 10 years, CS students will learn neural nets as part of their first or second year curriculum and the whole machinery will be behind a single API to some Apache library. And someone will then use that to some cool effect and say they're doing AI, and others will laugh and say, you're not doing AI, you just used a neural net to learn weights from a big data set silly, that's not AI.

This effect happens for every task, even when AI is not involved. Until you understand how, someone doing something you can't comprehend will have you think they are a genius and maybe of a higher IQ and probably very intelligent. But learn the "how" for yourself and it'll stop being so impressive. Rubik's cube is a good example of this. Once you realize there's a trick to it, it stops being as impressive.

Some relevant quotes from the wikipedia article:

> AI effect is: As soon as AI successfully solves a problem, the problem is no longer a part of AI.

> Software and algorithms developed by AI researchers are now integrated into many applications throughout the world, without really being called AI.

> AI advances are not trumpeted as artificial intelligence so much these days, but are often seen as advances in some other field

> practical AI successes, computational programs that actually achieved intelligent behavior, were soon assimilated into whatever application domain they were found to be useful in, and became silent partners alongside other problem-solving approaches, which left AI researchers to deal only with the "failures", the tough nuts that couldn't yet be cracked

> The great practical benefits of AI applications and even the existence of AI in many software products go largely unnoticed by many despite the already widespread use of AI techniques in software. This is the AI effect. Many marketing people don't use the term 'artificial intelligence' even when their company's products rely on some AI techniques. Why not?

The argument is likely that neither side is actually all that radical, so the answer to your question is reasonably "No".

I'm struggling to see where I said that.

I will, however, state the fact that many of the people who participated in the insurrection on Wednesday, of which a large cross-section believe in QAnon and wore QAnon paraphernalia, have been fired from their jobs or have been imprisoned.
I’m confused. You don’t think social media platforms should remove posts inciting violence, because the posts will get removed by the platform?
So we should delete it just in case ryt?
Or at least put a message under it that makes sure people use their brain even less because they are told that the video shows something but has no context and thus should only be used for entertaining purpose.
Is there a simple interface like the example in this thread to use the tool for a non developer regard Mozila TTS yet? I can't find one...
Nobody would argue with this.
I think the comment you are replying to is saying that the area the cops let those people into was either already over run and they were moving to a different place to keep people out. Or that it was area the people were allowed to be in, hence the other non cops in the area and so it’s not a problem that they were let it. Not that the cops were just abandoning there job and letting people into an area they shouldn’t have.

I have no context for where this is and if it’s true but I think you are misrepresenting the above comment.
Absolutely.

And making that distinction helps highlight that there are factors in how information is shaped and transmitted through networks of people that results in these outcomes.
If expressing a conditional costs you more than 1/64 of your storage I'd say the storage is pretty useless for storing code.
Are not you then suggesting that the conclusions they should reach to be reasonable? There is nothing that says democracy has to produce a reasonable system, and most people could point to an area where it's not, at least subjectively.
That's Wire Pro for teams, Wire Personal is free.
Agreed. History does not tend to look favorably on those who appease bullies.
It’s not that simple.
I am a non-heredi Israeli, but I live next to a Heredi neighborhood. Yes a lot of Heredim are breaking the rules, but so are a lot of non-heredi. I have yet to see any proof that the heredim are breaking them at a much larger scale than the other non-heredi groups.

What is significant is that they live in much more densely populated areas with much larger families. Every infection is amplified by the number of people who come in contact with that infected person and this is likely what we are seeing with the heredi population. In the heredi community it is not unusual for 10+ people to live under the same roof.

It has absolutely ravaged their older populations with one study estimating that 1 in 73 of the heredim over the age of 65 have died from COVID. Unfortunately among some of their communities the anti-vaccine propaganda has been very effective, but this is something the government is actively working to counter.

> I think I genuinely lack context. I do not know the author, nor any of his games. I know that in the wider context of the game industry, they are not defining moments - games that people consider milestones.

You definitely lack context. I think Crawford's artistic program is completely in the wrong, that the Erasmatron is a joke, and that narcissism is largely responsible for leading him down this path.

But Eastern Front and Balance of Power are seminal in wargaming and computer gaming, Siboot remains an oft-studied object, and the idea of the storytron was both reasonable and radical in 1993 even though Crawford ended up on a useless path developing it.

Crawford was a looming figure in the industry in the 80s, exited (rightly, and literally to applause!) to protest the commercial direction the industry was taking in the 90s, but then disappeared up his own ass for way too long. There's the oft-quoted line from Hamming about productive research, of which Crawford is probably among the most intense, and definitely among the most tragic, example:

I notice that if you have the door to your office closed, you get more work done today and tomorrow, and you are more productive than most. But 10 years later somehow you don't know quite know what problems are worth working on; all the hard work you do is sort of tangential in importance.
>At the same time, there is a little known "cure" that was developed in a Tel Aviv hospital that has been tried on 30 people

I want to make it really clear that I am downvoting you for this last sentence. N=30 and no link to a publication is insufficient information for anyone to be talking about it except those organising the next (much larger) trial. Right now, what you say cannot be verified and appears to me to be a comfortable lie to support an anti-vaxxer view.

I don't know where I stand on coercive tactics to get vaccinated, they are for a noble goal, but such tactics can be very dangerous or backfire.
There are CSV-backed "databases" that you can query with SQL. Selecting a row and returning it is basically copying a string once and replacing all CSV-separators by record separators. Doing a projection requires you to copy the string, remove all fields that are not requested, reorder the fields as requested, resulting in a few more copies, and only then transmitting the answer.
So in this case it would be slower to not do 'select *'.

However, those things have always been exotic, and with the advent of SQLite have become even less common.

I would like if author could read this, as I am writing this with deep compassion so I hope it won't be understood in the wrong way.
I am sorry, but everything dies, and some ideas do not make it. In our fear of death, we are trying to make a dent in this world, portraying our selves in a bigger light. Truth is even big ideas, and great work dies... Imagine, there was how many people since the beginning? Give or take ~110 billion, out of that there is around 130,000,000 (130 million books). How many books do average person reads over the lifetime? It is said that super readers read about 80 books a year, equal max ~8000-10000 books, which is a 0.0076% of all books.

So out of:
110,000,000,000 people
Truly remembered are how many writers, scientists, inventors? How many names of famous people and their ideas average person really knows?
Million? Hundred thousand? Thousand? Maybe hundred or more likely ten-ish?
Einstein, Tesla, Plato, Aristotle, Shakespeare, Dickens, Twain, Mozart, Goethe ... forgive me for this random list, how many names could you write on the list?

And this is for educated people, what about those who are not?

I am trying to say that our ability to absorb ideas is the bottleneck, so over time many good ideas will simply die, and then maybe, just maybe they may re-appear after some time.
Ideas the same way as businesses will only succeed if authors find a way, the compelling story, so they become simple enough to become viral and start spreading independently. But like with everything live, it will need fertile ground, energy and bit of luck... actually great portion of luck ;/

I'm happy paying the modest fee for taxact. I do agree America has such an annoying tax system though. Why am I filling out forms if the irs already has this information!
A bonus, though a very small and unreliable one.

I saw this title and I figured, good point, highest level in the world of journalism is about raw power, hardly about any truth. Then I clicked and read a few lines, wow, completely turned around, it's actually saying that powerful people don't need journalism, and it's bitching about being dumpped... Not a minute of self-reflection. what kind of irony is this? I have to say, well deserved...
Stuxnet was also a supply chain attack. The first infections were at Foolad Technic and Behpajooh, a pair of privately owned engineering firms.

The malware keeps a "breadcrumb" trail of each machine it infects, and based on investigations by Symantec [1] it was determined that every Stuxnet sample from Natanz originated from outside suppliers.

Absolutely agree. Solarwinds focuses a disproportionate amount of effort in ensuring it shows up favorably in Gartner magazine reviews and trade publications. As a monitoring platform its a monolithic, expensive, slow and rather dated monitoring solution. Agile does not come to mind, and you certainly wouldnt use it for anything approaching "observability."

But the concerted marketing effort pays dividends. Solarwinds is almost the only choice for government. For potential attackers its a big red arrow. Exploit a rent-seeking company that writes mediocre software and exists mostly to cash in on "best practice" lock-in with government contracts.

as far as i know nobodys really addressed the elephant in the room. Solarwinds is still a preferred government purchase for monitoring. every company that was affected by it still uses it (or at least hasnt publically refuted it) and no government official has come forward to admit they will discontinue it. Solarwinds hasnt offered any remediation or major changes in their development, leadership or code. just patch, rinse, and repeat and try not to pay too much attention to the issue.
Yup, and how about Turbo Vision Gui Builder? It was great Gui scaffolder.
>How do you know if the papers you read are a representative sample? How do you know the papers that are published are a representative sample?

You don't. You use the sources you've seen to make the best analysis you can, fully prepared to drop it if with further evidence.
While I've experienced something similar too, I think it may have more to do with the fact that tech has diversified in the absolute sense. An obsecure question about your processor was easily answered in the past because everyone had tinkered with it. Today a question about a bolted-on feature in <insert tool of the year> might not receive an answer because so little experts on SO use it.(?) I've got no clue if this explains it, but it makes more sense to me than the idea that SO's attention/incentive span is so short that users are only spending time on 5-minutes-typing questions.
It still depends on what programmers you ask. Windows works fine for me, Linux did not work well when I tried it (but it was many years ago). Unix through XWindows from a pc was actually quite nice.
I think developers like users use feelings more than thoughts when choosing an environment. Yes, you can do some things on Linux that are harder on Windows but saying that missing "grep" is severly limiting you is strange since it is easy to install. And you have find in most editors. You can run Vim or Emacs if you want to on Windows. Powershell is very good but with a strange syntax. If that is someones problem they sound like they don't want to learn something new. Listing thousands of files in a folder is probably still faster on Linux but I rarely do that (I can't see the point in collecting many years of logs in one folder, for example). The main problem I have with Windows is that I have to restart the computer every now and then.
Unlikely they purchased an "expensive" 0day. It is more likely they would develop their own or purchase locally as they would have access to cheaper markets than the west. See

Isn't Linux support in libc++ still not 100%? I'm using libc++/c++14 on a new project and I love it! Much better than my last experience with c++ (c++98).

I was worried about using libc++, but I recently found a great VPS provider which lets you install from an ISO so I can run FreeBSD in production. I no longer have any need for Linux. Develop on OSX, deploy on FreeBSD.
Technically they are being relocated, probably several times.
If you have to go lower level and implement the server protocol, my heart goes out to you.

Websocket is a fantastic advance for the web. But the protocol, in particular the handshake is truly awful.

It's awful in that it defines silly useless hoops you have to jump through, and it's awful because in the real world, it sometimes breaks with http proxies etc.
