I work on a project that tens of millions of people use every day, my mom uses code that I wrote on her phone and computer. She's super proud of me.

To be fair, I don't mind people talking about Rust. What I dislike the most are those that don't bring anything to the table, they will just repeat the same complaints over and over again and remind you how bad of a choice C++ is. While in reality, smart people can achieve a lot with it. But yes, C++ is not for everyone and it is denfinitely not easy.

This only holds so long as you believe the drivers are rational actors, and account for all of their own costs. From talking to drivers I've ridden with, most have literally no idea how much their driving is depreciating the car, nor do they factor in things like an increased maintenance schedule into their calculations.

I suspect Uber and Lyft would continue to experience their current glut of drivers, even if the entire model boiled down to nothing more than drivers effectively trading the equity of their vehicles for cash at a terrible exchange rate.
I can see this being really cool for some products but for a number of the ones they show on that landing page I already use subscribe and save. If you aren't using S&S you should check it out. I use it for items that I am going to buy no matter what (needs more or less) and things I have pretty consistent need of. Currently I get the following through S&S which means I just don't even have to worry about them anymore:

* Paper towels

* Toilet Paper

* Shaving Cream

* Razor Blades

* Body Wash

* Shampoo/Conditioner

* Tissues

* Deodorant

* Some K-cups

* Dryer Sheets

* Dish Washing soap

* Laundry Detergent

* Dishwasher powder-stuff

And I'm sure there are a few more I'm forgetting. It's awesome to never have to worry about these things and have them just show up. If I start piling up with too many of certain item I just go online and adjust how often they send it to me. I highly recommend it!

This did not happen with DARK; in fact, that's how I realised that it avoided many of the tropes because they just did not eventuate when I tried 'guessing'.

Not to get too off-topic, but if you liked DARK then I'd highly recommend the 12 Monkeys series. If I had to pick one, I'd say 12 Monkeys may be a bit better.

Why do you assume that the problem of a second-class existence for some is avoidable given the current state of the art in science, technology and medicine?

You can put wheelchair ramps on every building and have zero impact on the number of people that can walk that will date someone in a wheelchair, or the number of non-hearing-impaired people that will even be friends with a deaf person. This is because people often meet and relate to one another through their experiences and shared interests.

Frankly, the only way those situations can change is through technology. As we come up with ways of repairing spinal cord injuries, restoring hearing and sight, etc., many people will have ways of breaking through the very real barriers I'm speaking of here. Wouldn't it be better to spend more of the money that goes into ramps and the like on research instead?

If people are left free to decide what to do with their own resources, I argue that ultimately more resources will go into advancing science and technology, with the ultimate effect of creating a society where fewer people suffer a second-class existence. Take the existence of Neuralink as a practical example of this: it's a private company whose first users will be paraplegic people, and people suffering from strokes and Parkinson's disease.

It was bad form for the SNB to say they were committed to the peg and then to scrap it a few days later. On the other hand it shows how entitled markets have become to having central banks telegraph their strategy to the world. Would monetary policy & markets ultimately work better if we didn't expect central banks to be so blatant about their future moves? At the very least it would shake out the dangerous complacency that leads to overcrowded trades & heightened contagion risk.

"What makes something a "cup"? A human saying it is one"

And the human got their definition of cup by seeing a lot of things others called a cup and extrapolating rules, something that's already obtainable for some problems with solutions like neural networks.

In all these discussions of Bitcoin's price over N months, I don't see anyone consider this: 2 years is 44% of its tradable life (first trades on Mt. Gox were in July 2010). You might as well talk about Apple's performance since 2000, which is 44% of its tradable life. In which case, you see similar returns (almost 3000%)

So if Bitcoin goes down to $30, that's an amazing investment, right? After all, that's a 500% ROI!
I know this sounds a bit "get off my lawn" even for only being in my late 20s, but I REALLY enjoyed darkroom time in high school photography classes and photography personally lost some of its magic to me when I switched. I was a senior just as digital was making its moves, but nothing was quite as satisfying as the trials and tribulations of meticulously processing film in that tiny little room.

Nothing quite as cool as dropping what seemed like a blank piece of paper into some chemicals and watching it transition into an actual photograph.
The point being they still exist and focus on what is profitable.

I don't need to use online banking, I need to view pages with text and images, occasionally JavaScript, and not get owned by some random 0-day or exploit.

For this purpose, it can be argued that the lesser-known and slower-developed browsers are in many ways more secure than the whales:

They are developed more slowly, with much less code being introduced day-to-day. They are also less targeted, since hardly anyone uses them.

For sandboxing, there are many other solutions, which I think are also more secure if they are externalized.

As far as XUL, yes, it is certainly more secure to disallow add-ons which can do anything useful, like modify the UI.
Why do you think 4chan users were spending all their free time making pro-Trump and anti-Clinton memes? The GTA ban was one of the main things Clinton did to make that demographic hate her.

Bit of a surprising comment coming from the CTO of a large Google partner?

> Security research is inherently adversarial in nature

Interesting. My perception is it's often based on bragging rights. Which is more about ego than about an adversary. According to that theory, what matters is how deeply you understand systems or how determined you are to go the extra mile to find issues.

This extends to organizations which want to bolster their image by being at the leading edge of research.

Anyway, having an adversary is part of the picture, but what you really care about is not the victory over that adversary but your superiority on the battlefield
Care to elaborate on the use of past tense?

I.e.: are you no longer in business, sold it or no longer running it solo?
About 1/10 times I have to either unplug my USB-C monitor cable, open my Intel MBP, or both, in order to get my Mac to wake up properly.

Sure thing.

I agree with the stated purposes of GG: games journalism needs some serious balancing. For instance, that mailing list in which both journalists and producers are members is an example of a line that should exist and yet doesn't. Hech, even "game developer literally in bed with producers" is something that, properly approached (not the case AT ALL, of course), could have been a valid point.

And yet, what is GG known for? They are being openly misogynistic, attacking anyone who dares speaking against them in a pretty serious way. Anita Sarkeesian and Felicia Day, to name two famous women, were doxxed and harrassed just for speaking openly.

And just like you cannot say "X and Y belong to Anonymous, but Z doesn't", you cannot say "The misogynists are using GG as an excuse, but they are not true GGers", because they are GG (the same way that you are not stuck in traffic, you are traffic).

So my point would be: If a group is full of jerks that are flocking towards a group erroneously, are they really in the wrong group?
>the lax rules, for better or worse, is what it really has going for it.

Better. 4chan was the most culturally influential website out there. I don't know how much that's true today but it shaped the humor and language of the internet in a way nothing else did. It's good to have places where there are no rules, no sacred cows, no need to be polite and politically correct. In a sea of bland derivatives, it at least had a personality. Don't get me wrong, I'm glad this site and others are not like that, but it's good to have that somewhere. There is no denying how influential that site was over the last 10 years. The stuff we joke about today was born in the depths of 4chan a long time ago.
As soon as it becomes hardball negotiation, then the context of later events is the same "what can I get out of this" finite pie. The goal is not a percentage but an opportunity for a life-changing payout. 1% or so means that the major shareholders aren't concerned if my working hard doesn't get me rich in circumstances where they become rich.

They're fine with us all having worthless stock together.

What I am getting at is that taking equity means getting a lawyer to oversee the business terms. Going into business with someone who doesn't value the long term success of those with whom they are in business is a bad idea in my opinion. It's better to hang out with people I trust.
It's naive and presumptuous. Have it your way, though.
I've lost 150+ lb so far. I've grown up poor. Supported myself my entire life. Dropped out of school and supported myself by working for myself. I've been against the grain my entire life. I have a need to lead. I realize few people are cut out for certain things, but I really believe I am.
I hear this all the time and I really just don't see it. I'm not trying to be argumentative, I just don't understand. Yes, it is poorly designed, no question about that and there are certainly things that could be done better, and one shouldn't have to use all of the "hacks" to begin with. But I do find it incredibly easy to work with, and I'm often doing very complex layouts that have to work in everything from IE6 up. CSS is just a matter of memorization.

So I still don't think something like LESS or SASS is the answer. My point was CSS is, despite its poor design, fundamentally easy to understand in terms of how it's supposed to work. No, it doesn't always work like it's supposed to and sometimes you have to work around that, but at its core, the syntax, the structure, and methodology behind it are dead simple. Building something like LESS/SASS to run on top of/underneath CSS to then generate said CSS markup seems redundant, when instead what needs to happen is that the focus needs to be on fixing the flaws of CSS, not adding another layer of abstraction.

And how does LESS/SASS handle all of those hacks? You still have to do them. You just write them a bit differently. So really, besides variables, what added value does it provide?
I would suggest that you can get a lot out of 10kg dumbbells by being creative and very aware. Figure out things to do with the dumbbells that are difficult, then do them carefully with constant awareness of possible injuriousness. Asymmetrical stuff is helpful since most of our activities don't happen on both sides at once (for instance, like carrying groceries) So carry one dumbbell around the house or office with you while you do other things. Set it down. Pick it up with each hand. Put it under the desk. Then fetch it out. Do the things you do every day but do them with weight. Standard weightlifting is great but it can ignore all the smaller muscles that we use every day that support the larger ones. Just don't hurt yourself by either doing the right thing too much or the wrong thing once too often.
It's not a crime AFAICT, but there are a myriad of reasons people might not want to sell at 'market'

Sports teams and sports associations like to be family friendly, which means keeping prices in check. This is partly self-interest - disenfranchise families coming to your games and interest might drop off.

Many bands, though, would like their fans to be able to come and see them regardless of income level and think a first-come, first-served basis is much fairer than purely who can afford the most.

And then there are people like me who think that inserting yourself between buyer and seller purely so you can hold very limited-release goods to ransom is just a shit thing to do.
It's true that all time housing prices is not a good thing. But low interest rates helps keep the Swedish housing bubble growing. Low interest rates encourages people to invest big but when the interest rates go back up people risk getting in financial trouble.
I also think 'scumbag' is going too far, but marketing of this sort flirts with dishonesty and often leaps right into bed with it. If the consumer goes looking for, say, a bag of apples, I'm fine with the sort of marketing that says 'we have lots of apples' or 'our applies are super tasty' or 'Mmmm, crunchy tasty apples, yum!'. It's OK to reflect some version of the consumer's desire for your product in hope that the consumer will identify with that desire and make a purchase.

But if you say 'OMG, running out of apples' or 'study: apples cut cancer risk' or 'everyone's eating Valar_m's apples', then you're no longer addressing the consumer's desire to eat apples, you're playing on the consumer's latent anxiety about missing a good deal, or eating the right food, or fitting in with peers - things which have nothing to do with the apples themselves, but with the consumer's socioeconomic position and the desire to maintain or improve it. It's as if you bait them with a picture of the apple they desire, then switch to making them feel anxious about the consequences of not following through with a transaction.

I don't mean to imply that you or anyone else who practices this sort of marketing is some sort of cartoon villain, cackling as you part anxious consumers from their money. But if you think it through, I think you'll agree that there is a fundamental difference between the two styles of communication, and that the latter one involves a semantic turn.
The AWS cloudformation template on the site supports both PPTP and L2TP IPSEC protocol. So use as you like based on your security needs / device compatibility.
Not me in particular, but there have been many suggestions:

* Allow competing stores (like Android)

* Allow customers to install raw packages (like Android)

* Improve their search engine to "not be completely useless"

* Fairer algorithm for featured apps

Etc. This is not my list, it's just some of the common suggestions I hear for improving the App Store.

For what it's worth, Seth Godin's book All Marketers Are Liars also covers the material in your specific example. It probably doesn't cover most of what's in the rest of The Strategy and Tactics of Pricing, though imho the idea of 'going to the extremes' is so important that it's really worth reading an entire book just on that idea.
