Yeah, this is you being idiosyncratic. If you look at most people in these situations, they do not get in a flow state from being pummeled, nor do the pummelers restrain themselves to have a fun match.

In example 1, the player often DCs or rage quits, because there's no value in such a matchup. If they see the end of the match, they quickly leave to find one more balanced to their skill. You could have just stayed in training and worked on labbing combos for all the effort you went through.

And labbing is one of the big problems of that genre, where people feel they have to train hard just to have fun.

The second...yeah, no they usually demolish them and move on. A high skilled player also gets little value out of owning someone, and they often smurf in lower ranks for an ego boost. "Watch me stream bronze to grandmaster!"

A lot of this is more people trying to convince people to stick with something despite a lot of negative experiences. Fighting games are seriously at risk of being a dead genre, and a lot of the problems are not easily solvable.
I don’t think there is any interpolation happening, actually. The display just uses four pixels to display one pixel, that’s all.
The 5th amendment?
Few people will agree with me and they're never going to implement it, but I think comments shouldn't carry karma. It just encourages too much pettiness.
I believe that too. I don't know if bitcoin is going to be still here in 100 years. But I'm sure that it will play an important part in whatever new will be shaped out of this.

Atom team, if you're reading this, I have a big feature request that would make this far, far greater than just another editor.

Pair editing.

Specifically, having the ability to pair two editors over a network and edit the same set of files.

Lots of other editors do this, but here's the key: Each editor keeps its own settings and environment.

I'm a vim guy. I can set up my Atom to be vimlike. My buddy, the Emacs (heretic!) guy, can set up his Atom the way he likes, and we can work in harmony.

That's all I want.
I do.

Cancer kills quickly, but not "tomorrow" quickly. This gives an opportunity to consider the big picture and how you'll navigate this challenge. The OP himself writes that his savings lasted for 4+ months. I was surprised that, in this timeframe, zero thought appears to have been given to the question: "What happens when my money runs out?".

The final outcome may have been the same (asking for donations online), but you'd be starting out early instead of with your back against the wall. Same as with startup funding: if you look for funding only when you're out of runway, you'll have a next-to-impossible time of securing it (or securing it on good terms).
Also, the slides are pretty good. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yL_-1d9OSdk
This is a huge opportunity for startups.

Online dating is still not as successful it could be because all data is not used. Everyone has smartphones, partners could be matched up based on the generated sensor data. There's also the low cost gene sequencing services, daters could be matched up using it.

The friendship problem cannot be tackled the same way. Women might be more open to actively seeking new platonic friendships in dating service kind of fashion, but they are less likely to be lonely anyway.

To solve the male loneliness problem would require focusing men around an issue. Men build good friendships over shared forced activities (school, work, military, political meetups, dinners with their wives's friends husbands).

To solve the loney man issue requires more of the same. Greater efficiencies in organizing economic/volunteery groups.

Crowdsourcing and crowdfunding is the answer here. Sites like mechanical turk and kickstarter with better social networking features, and finding ways to physically get people meeting together. For example, a component of kickstarter campaign might require doing a thousand man march in the capital city. Part of a mechanical turk task would require holding a protest. Similar ideas to get people excited about a shared cause meeting up at the same place.

Also, governments should consider creating an army units for elderly or otherwise lonely men. If your old and you're wife/husband died, you should be able to join the army to help in some capacity, even sitting at a desk at the barracks and filling in mechanical turk tasks.
I'd believe that. How many people end up taking APUSH though?

Messaging is important because it provides a person-to-person communication platform for arbitrary data. It blends in the rich interaction capabilities offered by internet with more personalized and free-form interaction offered by telephones or personal visits. Sending text messages to each other is only the first step. One can perform any kind of communication on top of messaging with proper apps. You can charge for these value added services and generate reasonable revenue.
This is an interesting article that I confess I could not finish. I love Monkey Island and some of the details here are interesting, but the writing is so poor that I eventually decided to stop reading.

Clearly this is written by someone for whom English is not their primary language, and their English is better than my (probably Mandarin) by far. But this piece could benefit from some heavy copy-editing for readability.
graycat, my dad was one of those first pilots. Thanks for posting about this; makes me nostalgic. (Did you have stacks and stacks of those styrofoam punch-out planes around the house, too?)
There's been plenty of affirmative action related to Asian Americans in university admissions. What often happens is that strict reliance on grades and test scores gives an oversupply of people who are of Asian descent or Jewish and when the university's management and alumni see that, they push for affirmative action to get the white Christian men percentages up to a high enough number that the largely white Christian men of the university's management and alumni feel comfortable.
users could certainly pay ..but through a donation model similar to public radio or maybe Wikipedia. there's a carefull line to walk if 'sponsors' come on board but it's possible.
Very interesting bit of Victorian engineering, thank you! I'm surprised that some scifi fan hasn't added at least a small link on that Wikipedia page to the ground-breaking film "Metropolis", as the "Paternoster Machine" was an recurring symbol there.

I could similarly make a statement: "I don't vote." That would not contradict a statement that "when I voted, I voted for fringe candidates."

The key is grammatical tense: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grammatical_tense

I was a news junkie from about 9/11/01 until roughly 2005. I don't bother anymore. Too much work to get truth, too little reward. (The same applies to voting.)
"Segmentation fault (core dumped)" -- Program using cstrs.
> Want to revolutionize teaching (and save some money)? Break the unions and fire the worst 10% of the teaching staff. Then do it again next year.

That only works if you're good at recognizing the bottom 10% and have tight anti-cheating controls. Otherwise, things will go straight to hell. Also, you're neglecting the fact that it'll destroy cooperation among the teachers, because it turns things into a "it's either him or me, and it's not going to be me" scenario. Neither effect is conductive to a better or more effective school environment.

While the idea of firing bad teachers has a lot of merit, handling it in such a way is a terrible idea. That's the sort of quick fix bad managers come up with and one of the ways bad managers can help destroy an entire organization.

But it's a lot easier to give out fixes like these than it is to understand problems, so such ideas are remarkably prevalent. That probably explains why the change X by Y% mentality is lampooned in so many Dilbert cartoons.
Well they do have "Ping" but that probably just proves your point. I brought this up because the article seemed to me to be about hiring and retention, and the author cited (poor) social networking as contributing factor for Google problem in this area.

from the article:
"Part of why Google needs to “get social” so badly isn’t just on a product or market level, but to impress its own employees"
Smashing the Stack for Fun and Profit...
> You build a statistical predictor of student performance (based on standardized test scores) then measure Performance = Avg(Actual - predicted).

And then you watch student performance get gamed by the teachers. There are all kinds of ways: turn a blind eye to cheating, move poor performers to others schools (including by getting them to graduate when they shouldn't), alter their tests (this is already being done under NCLB according to several news reports), ...

You're better off by having skilled teachers rate the other teachers. People aren't as easily gamed as systems of rules are.
I'm not sure I understand the point being argued here.
Thanks, that's quite interesting. I think Brazil tried 'singaporising' some flavelas (move people into Singapore style high rises) but many of the people who moved in did not take well to the new environment --it was too removed from what they were used to.

Also failed housing projects in the outer sections of Paris (outer arrondissements). They also developed into segregated ghettoes.

But it's interesting to see that if everyone is in the same boat --i.e. that's the only kind of housing stock there is, then people can make it work, even if it kind of looks drab and unimaginative from the outside.
I'm not claiming it's the best UX, and I have no particular affinity to this program, but it's really not hard to tell what it does, especially for the demographic here.
None of the primitive data structures will match up. JVM languages, CLR languages, Rust, Go, et al all have array bound checking, so their arrays won't be compatible with C libraries without a wrapper.
I think the big one that no one mentions is management. A company with 100,000 employees, and a reporting span of 10 people then you have 11,111 managers - and as they tend to get paid more upwards of 25-30% of the salary.

And what do they do? Administration and process? Easily automatable. Hiring and firing (teams do this better), "magically know what to do in uncertain times" (guess my views). A lot of this can be replaced with high trust, open environments and "team empowerment"

But when do turkeys vote for Xmas?

This comes from (iirr) Gary Hamel (https://hbr.org/2011/11/fire-all-the-managers)
I find baring the law of the excluded middle an unnecessarily restrictive basis for logic; but regardless, isn't this a simple (A \/ ~A) case? I mean, you may not be able to prove that Anne is married or prove that Anne is unmarried, but can't you prove by that Anne is either married or unmarried, by the definition of marriege?

Moreover, I had the idea that Intuitionistic logic is advocated to curb with non-constructive proofs over non-finite sets rather than the simple case you mentioned.
You got that the wrong way around:

Nvidia's platforms are a large part of industrial embedded, on which the users have no option but to use EGLStream.
Not only that, the legal repercussions from that stigma means they have to operate in the shadow, leaving them an unprotected worker class. The SESTA/FOSTA bills were terrible in this regard.
Could we include .book while we’re at it? Seems like the handling of that TLD went really wrong...
Exactly, but sometimes it's so subtle you can't even tell it's the compression taking over.
> you can't exactly coach a layperson on how to talk "the right way" to not trigger this vowel collapse

I've never noticed. At any rate, we should not coach people to adapt to technology in this way. It is Procrustean and anti-human and unnecessarily places a burden on people that belongs to the software and the developer.
Lately Intel seems to be getting a lot of flack here. As a layperson in the space who's pretty out of the loop (I built a home PC about a decade ago), could someone explain to me why that is? Is Intel really falling behind or dressing up metrics to mislead or something like that? I also partly ask because I feel that I only really superficially understand why Apple ditched/is ditching Intel, although I understand if that is a bit off-topic for the current article.
I think it depends on how you view your colleagues, and also on your working conditions and location. My entire company is remote (albeit with a small office in a co-working space a few local people sometimes use), and we have two week-long on-sites every year (recent times notwithstanding). There is no pressure to attend, but the entire company is always there (unless they have scheduling conflicts etc) - that says a lot to me.

It helps that the most important aspect of our hiring process is about culture-fit - so much so that the final stage of the (pretty relaxed) hiring process is a presentation to everyone in the company who wishes to attend (regardless of role). Those presentations typically see 40% or more of the company attend. Crucially, every person in that presentation gets the opportunity to vote on whether the candidate is hired.

I've made friends for life at this company.
I enjoyed your post and the rich imagery of how you described the machines. Agree with a lot of what you said (except the part where you said I was wrong, lol).

I get that “soul” is a good word for the sounds and rumbles of the machinery and the sense of something alive that anyone feels when exposed to such things. And EVs lack that particular flavor of soul... just not other flavors. I agree we don’t have to mix this up with the supernatural notions of soul.

One key point is I’m the one —not Tesla marketing — saying Tesla (unnamed in my comment, but I think it was clear) has soul. Tesla is not saying any such thing as far as I know. Yeah not the visceral rumbling kind, but a different kind. (Not asking you to agree with me. Good thing, huh?)

Ford, on the other hand, is trying to say their EV has the “Soul of a Mustang” which I suspect both of us would agree is not really sensible as anything other than a marketing gimmick.
I disagree. 500k is in line with salaries in other nonprofits. Even Costco CEO’s base salary is 800k.
Thank you, this is why I posted this response. I knew someone would point me in the right direction.
The most bizarre twist in this whole tale would be if the rise of flexible working post covid-19 did actually create a gap in the market for a company to come along and provide flexible office space with short notice and minimal commitment: A real Uber for office space.
As a WFH advocate, I totally support you having the option to work from the office. A lot of people really like the office and have been having a really bad time this past year and you should totally go back.

We just want the choice, too!

Almost no WFH advocates are asking to force everyone to WFH. They just want the option to do what works best for themselves. The people pushing to return to the office, however, tend to want to force everyone back to the office. That’s what we’re complaining about.
discussion a couple of days ago https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26662985
> I recently played around with the data from Germany 2020. I scaled up the existing renewables (only the ones that are scalable - wind and solar, hydro is pretty much maxed out) so that the yearly consumption can be served from 100% renewables. Then I added a battery to carry the overproduction over to the gaps. A 3 TWh battery would still lead to 50 days of empty battery and thus gaps in the power supply.

Did you use the approach outlined in https://doi.org/10.1016/j.euroecorev.2018.07.004 ? Because "50 days of empty battery" is vastly different from the results in that work. 3 TWh is roughly 0.5% of German annual consumption and should bring you to at least a 90% renewable scenario, if not to 100%.

How about you start by defining what a "major operating system" is, and then point out which by your definition are not included in Mac, Windows, and Linux.
Believe it or not, games regularly did get updated even back in the NES era. There's many games out there that had a long enough shelf life to get a PRG1/CHR1 revision and reprint. Furthermore, almost no games were sim-ship[0] back then, so even if games didn't get a re-release in the same territory you still had the opportunity to patch a game for the next country's release. e.g. US v1.0 might be equivalent to JP v1.2 even if Japan never got that version.

This is also why a lot of Europeans get really confused at old AVGN videos: some of the games he trashes were dramatically improved for Europe and only sucked in the US. (e.g. Fester's Quest)

Furthermore, developers back then were very much not "more careful"; in fact, there's plenty of examples of games that were shipped back then with little or no playtesting or QA work done. And likewise, being able to patch a game later doesn't really fix the reputational harm from shipping broken software. If the game is not playable day-one[1], nobody will care when it's playable on day 255.

[0] Industry jargon for SIMultaneous SHIP - as in, release in all territories

[1] Day-one patch inclusive. I know people hate them, but they let developers eke out an extra month of QA and bug-fixing time because of how cert works.
Social media that is properly neutral will never be stupid. The problem is anti-conservative bias and censorship is skewing social media in a bad way. When Elon said he's going to buy twitter for free speech I created an account on twitter.

I connected to political conservatives, mostly Canadians. I "liked" a bunch of things. Never retweeted and never commented on anything. Just likes.

This post is offensive content? No certainly not. However, my likes and my association with a political movement has gotten me censored. Call me crazy but I think it's tremendously unhealthy to censor people because of their associations.
Were the foreclosures due strictly to the over-assessments, or due to not paying any property tax at all?
> charge more minutes on incoming customer calls

Customer service lines are generally toll free numbers, and most callers (in the US) do not have phone plans that charge by the minute for toll free calls (paygo cell plans are really the only ones), meaning only the company is paying more. Neutrally, it's a case of Goodhart's law with no relevant metrics. There's no way to measure the frustration or satisfaction of customers - those surveys at the end of the call reflect on the person you talked to, not the overall system.

But yes most likely frustration leading to hangup is seen as good. The most telling example is the ones with repeating "you can access our website", when the only reason anyone calls up these days is because they cannot accomplish their task through the website.
This point seems to be missing in the text:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1755_Lisbon_earthquake#Philoso...

"The earthquake and its aftermath strongly influenced the intelligentsia of the European Age of Enlightenment. The noted writer-philosopher Voltaire used the earthquake in Candide and in his Poème sur le désastre de Lisbonne ("Poem on the Lisbon disaster"). Voltaire's Candide attacks the notion that all is for the best in this, "the best of all possible worlds", a world closely supervised by a benevolent deity. The Lisbon disaster provided a counterexample."

How do you think company culture changes, if not due to people pushing the company in a certain direction?

It seems odd that you don't dispute that companies change, yet seem to dislike people trying to make a company change. Or do you believe it's only bad when the workers want things to change but find it acceptable when upper management fucks over the company culture?
This is basically what wifi, bluetooth, and garage door openers use. The sad thing is that they carved out chunks of the spectrum that don't reach as far as the already-in-use TV and radio spectrums. We get the leftover bits for arbitrary consumer transmission, the good parts are spoken for by corporations with deep pockets. I'd like to see the whole thing opened up, it would make meshnets easier to get going.

The next question would be: is it possible to compare across multiple lottery ticket networks, and look for commonality? Maybe the lottery ticket params all give rise to some small set of particularly efficient configurations that we can add directly to other networks?
I recall reading in Susan Cain's book Quiet that people tend to judge fast-talkers as being more intelligent than their slower talking colleagues.

You can send the files through the pubsub directly and just convert a stream of bytes. It is a beautiful pattern, but needs some tools to make it really easy to use (e.g. how to I metadata and bytestream to a pipe)
