webGL is very low level, so you should be able to get good performance. But the problem I think is that the specifications/standards move too fast. If you start to build a game with the latest technology today, those technologies will be deprecated once your release the game :P

Winter Olympics in Greece? Nonsense. Chamonix vs Greece -- there is just no comparison. Very few people plan world class ski vacations in Greece. That's like having surfing competitions in New Jersey. Sure there's an ocean, but that doesn't make it good.
Unlike open source software nobody can look how Soylent produced the product, and why would anybody outside Soylent work on a solution?

PRNewswire is indeed a public notice. But so is Oracle telling the world that Google is bad for poising Java (can't remember their exact argument).

I think this is a very important point. While I have heard of very stressful orgs where SDEs are under high pressure, I think that the work environment for non Deve is vastly different.
I think we see eye to eye here? I personally believe a lot of my engineer friends do not realize that they need to manage their career as much as they manage their technical skills. And that's why I suggested getting an outside opinion about one's market value annually (and if turns out to be a compelling valuation, take it).
Having worked in law enforcement for many years in the past, maybe I can shed some light on this.

It's not illegal or even immoral for a detective or agent to ask a company or individual "Hey, what can you tell me about X?" Depending on the nature of the relationship between the company/individual being questioned and X, it's usually not illegal for them to provide information to the officer. The problem is, depending on the nature of the investigation, that information can be considered hearsay and can be attacked by a defense attorney, so usually when an officer asks those kinds of broad questions they are simply trying to see if it's worth their time to get a warrant and get all the information they can on X. They can then take what they learn to a judge to convince them to sign off on the warrant so they can get the admissable evidence needed to proceed with an arrest and indictment.

And yes, you have every right to not consent to questioning or a search without a warrant (whether you are being questioned as a witness or a suspect), and you should exercise that right vigorously. Don't make it easy on them, make them work hard to build their case, because they should indeed be held to a higher standard.
So there will be a market for Wi-Fi microphones.
I guess for all practical purposes, no other duty. I am 100% positive that all law officers take a special oath, and are also treated differently according to the letter of the law. Police officers are allowed to carry firearms and shoot people legally, after all. In addition to extra leniency about capping people, law officers have additional legal duties. I mean, we're treated to "ignorance of the law is no excuse", so I must believe that law officers aren't ignorant of the law, and have extra legal duties. So in practice I agree, they're motivated by all the same things the rest of us are, but we give police special privileges, supposedly in return for extra responsibilities. i believe we (including the law officers themselves) should hold law officers to higher standards.

They found some lead. There's a bit of Californian law that requires warnings to be put on anything that contains certain chemicals if those chemicals are present in anything more than very small amounts. If there were unsafe levels the product is outright banned.

Soylent is not accused of selling a product with dangerous levels of lead, but of selling a product with normal levels of lead but without the warning sticker.

At least, that's what I can make out. Maybe I'm wrong.

EDIT: this is a proposition 65 lawsuit. The eco group is not trying to get Soylent withdrawn; they're trying to get Soylent to include the legally mandated warning "this product contains chemicals known by the State of california to cause cancer".
Or maybe it is just that the segment of the public that is expected to vote doesn't care.

I don't vote, and I care about this issue. Why don't I vote? Mostly because the things I care about are not made campaign issues. That might be common.
This was my original thought as well. But then you have to think about employability.
I live in the US too, and as far as I can tell most people are barely aware of anything to do with Snowden. Of those that are, many have a negative opinion and a very unsympathetic attitude towards privacy or civil rights.
This idea of having the Olympics in Greece permanently is nonsense. Greece doesn't even have the fiscal discipline to pay their bills let alone be responsible for a multi-billion dollar tradition. A strategically timed transit strike by aggrieved workers would derail the Games. I'm not sure how anyone could even suggest the Grerk government could be trusted to be a steward of such an important event given their propensity for fiscal disaster.
A Scientific Look at Bad Science
Here is a small game I made to learn the engine awhile ago:

https://github.com/rickyeh/cubejump

It isn't polished yet as it's a work in progress, and I'm a pretty newbie programmer, so my code isn't perfect :)

It was pretty easy for me to learn, even without a lot of CS experience, and worked pretty well on mobile (at least iOS) without too much hassle. If you have no idea how to make a game and want to make a simple one fast, it seems like an awesome library to do so. The examples and tutorials were plentiful and I was able to find detailed ones on third party sites as well.
You don't really need to see how they made the product. If you have the money you can send it for independent testing; or you can ask regulators to do so for you.
"Switching from contractors to employees was costly, and 5-10% quit as they prefered to remain contractors."
What if I told you that in those Asian companies that is run by an Asian at the top, that the other 99% of Asian is not at the top?

Not every Asian can get to the top. Just like not every White men can get to the top. The top is the top for one reason, the reason being that only the top percentage of people can get to the top.

Anyway, you're basically saying that in a country of White majority, the men most likely to get to the top of other men, is a White men, while in an country of Asian majority, the men most likely to get to the top of other men is an Asian men.

And not only that, not every men want to get to the top. Some men are perfectly happy with where they are. You can't just force those men who do not want to get to the top get to the top to take on responsbilities that they don't want to take on in the first place.
Then drunk driving is not victimless, and my argument isn't needed anyway.
We made an entire mini-gaming platform on iOS with all phaser games. They are quick and challenging; though not big titles by any means. We've found phaser to be perfect for rapid development and prototyping.

The headers indicate that this email was legitimately sent by satoshi@vistomail.com

Satoshi used this email address in his first announcement of bitcoin.

I have never seen anything PGP signed by Satoshi, thus the lack of a signature does not indicate forgery.

Further to that point Satoshi meticulously employed strong operational security techniques, making it very likely that he/she/they destroyed the private key after withdrawing from the community.

The evidence isn't strong either way, however it's certainly leaning towards the email being legitimate.

Android UI tests with Espresso
"Some" lead? It was 12-25 times over the limit.

Test results commissioned by As You Sow, conducted by an independent laboratory, show that one serving of Soylent 1.5 can expose a consumer to a concentration of lead that is 12 to 25 times above California's Safe Harbor level for reproductive health, and a concentration of cadmium that is at least 4 times greater than the Safe Harbor level for cadmium. Two separate samples of Soylent 1.5 were tested.
Just looking at the CEO roles doesn't exactly give an overall picture of diversity in SV or tech in general. However, many of the arguments I see on the other side - namely that all of the groups mentioned here are in fact underrepresented - neglect one fact: the overall percentages pretty closely mirror the demographics of degree holders in the fields necessary to perform many of the tech jobs in SV.

Women, for example, hold a disproportionately low share of STEM undergraduate degrees, particularly in engineering. Therefore it is only common sense that they wouldn't be getting jobs that require these degrees at the same rate that men do. It's not because of evil white males not wanting to hire women (or any of the other groups that have claimed discrimination in SV) - it's because fewer of them choose the profession. The degree issue is also the reason that the CEO role is diverse - because it doesn't necessarily take an engineering degree to be the CEO of a tech company. Diverse qualifications will yield a diverse pool of talent.
MadBlocker uses the VPN subsystem for filtering, even though the traffic doesn't leave the device. In order for the VPN profile to work with the On Demand VPN system (used for sending ad domain requests to 127.3.5.7), it has to use cert-based auth, and MadBlocker is using a self-signed certificate so I could use a reasonable expiration time (ten years) without paying a ton of money for a cert signed by a commercial CA. It seemed silly to pay for a cert that sees no use. I had actually used a proper cert earlier in testing, but figured people would get frustrated with the one-year expiration time.
According to the awesome manifesto, I need to do some adjustments before making a submission request.

I think you're conflating low level rendering API (WebGL) with Game Engine (built on top of low level rendering APIs such as WebGL, OpenGL ES, OpenGL, Direct3D).

WebGL does have to do some validation, but most implementations are built on top of ANGLE, which for the most part is _NOT_ an emulator. It does have slow paths for things that exist in WebGL such as the TRIANGLE_FAN drawing mode that don't exist in D3D11. For an interesting read, might I sugguest: https://books.google.com/books?id=6crECQAAQBAJ&lpg=PP1&pg=PA...
Well, according to you at least. I won't be letting it concern me too much ;)
This looks like a clean solution to the age old problem: how to support cm-features in a clean way, without working directly against the implementation.

Glad to see stuff like this coming.
>Officers of the law have an ethical duty to obey the law

They don't have an ethical requirement to take the longest route to that goal. So, if asking nicely, or bullying gets the job done with less work, then many will do that.
Can I guess by your username that they use shingled magnetic recording? I did that thesis a few years ago and I never went into the field. I remember SMR and HAMR being the two big ideas at the time.
I'm glad Boston too a stand and bowed out. I'm just hopeful SF can withstand the temptation. LA, well, it's a lost cause anyway.

My hope is Boston's decision gets people to scrutinize the Olympics because as claimed, it seems the benefits are outweighed by the opportunity loss of the diverted funds, etc.

For an example of the waste produced by hosting these large sporting events one only needs to look at the past world cup in Brazil --stadiums in the middle of very low population density. A total waste of capital and labor.
This really isn't the case on the web. There are no "take backs-ies".
> As with all things, if it works for you, great. Just don't force it on anyone else.

Here's a question, because this is a phrase I've encountered a lot, but I have often wondered whether this is somewhat a self-defeating statement. "Don't you dare force your beliefs on anyone else" is in itself a belief, that you are forcing upon another, is it not? Just because it is a belief about beliefs, or how someone ought to believe, does not excuse it, I have wondered.

In contrast, Walmart (where I worked as an intern this summer) is full of genuine kindness, bottom to top, as far as I could tell. I don't remember anyone saying a thing that was rude or harsh to me. Even higher ups seemed like cool people that you could talk to whenever you needed to.

If you're at Amazon and are looking for a kinder environment, Walmart was great to my family.

The subtitle was cringe-worthy:

> Women, gays, and immigrants form a new majority at the top.

What? Looking at the union of all women, all people of color, and all LGBT people, and saying that this group forms a "majority" (non straight-white-U.S. born-males) shows what is wrong with how some view diversity.

Its nice that some women, some LGBT people, and some people of color make it to the top. The talk about diversity has never been that they don't.

The list shows 4 underrepresented groups in the top 10, as if that is a success, forgetting that:

1. There are two women only.
2. There are no U.S. born persons of color in that list.

The only valid statement is that non-U.S. born people seem to exist in healthy amounts. But those like me who are born outside the US shouldn't be helping Silicon Valley check "non-white" boxes off, pretending like race and socio-economic problems in the US that keep persons of color from attaining positions of authority don't exist.
Thanks. I solved the problem, lots of visits and missing swap space lol.

You're misreading. Everyone they hire is intended to be a leader, and being right is one of the qualities they care about in employees. Not "management is usually right, so trust them".
Making the games pay off for a city definitely seems doable if not easy. Key ingredient: it has to try to make it pay off.

The fundamental concept of sabbath is, "create and manipulate and be a slave to nature for 6 days...but on the seventh day you take a day out to reflect and appreciate what you created and become a king over your domain and appreciate your accomplishments and creation. In essence, sabbath is equivelant to shipping.
you can see here plenty of articles citing profits for ~50% of olympics: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cost_of_the_Olympic_Games (estimates obviously don't include a bunch of intangible costs/profits).

I'm sure you could construct a list that shows no profits ever, and a list that shows massive profits every time (using the same level of evidence for both sides).

the primary issue is that it's extremely difficult to measure costs/profits for something as massive as an olympics. the secondary issue is that people tend to support their 'sides' narrative (keynesian or otherwise).

The idea of giving yourself permission to enjoy any length of time without the guilt of not being productive is definitely good for you. It's tough going if your personality is wired to ruminate though.

The lawsuit has nothing whatsoever to do with company culture so it speaks to nothing.
Except if you go back twenty years you'll see their predictions haven't even come close to panning out on "the averages". The data set is crap, and there's no way to validate the models. Normally in science when your model turns out to be wrong you realize you don't really understand what's going on.

Not these people, though. There's too much hubris, money, and professional standing at stake for anyone to admit he doesn't know any more than a five year old extrapolating historical data with a crayon.
Economic problems prevent Whites from getting to the top too, not just Asians or Blacks. So how is that an unfair advantage that Whites have over minorities?

Why should specific frequencies be assigned for specific uses anyway? Can't we have a marketplace for spectrum in which devices can get access to the most appropriate spectrum in realtime?

Spectrum is expensive because we waste so much of it. If users had an incentive to use the least usable frequencies when they do work, there'd be more room in the most usable frequencies for applications that require those.

As it turns out, the FCC has approved sharing rules for the 3.5 gigahertz spectrum. Maybe this will demonstrate how much better the future can be.

> Meaning is not something that is particularly an end goal.

No, of course it isn't. The goal is where meaning gets you to.
Most jobs "right out of college" are grunt work jobs. My first job out of college was for a big consulting services company. At this time their clients were still all mainframe shops; there was no internet at least not that the general public was aware of, and certainly no web dev jobs yet.

So I worked 60 - 70 hours a week writing COBOL code. It was crap work but the salary was good and having that employer on my resume was worth it.

I knew in less than a year that I wouldn't be there long-term, and their business model actually counted on it.

Amazon is doing nothing new or unusual here.
As far as my limited knowledge permits, it may be that meaning does motivate the creation of the said symbols.
A problem therefore can motivate the creation of a full set of symbols: Seven Bridges of Königsberg and Graph Theory; Calculus finds its root meaning in the necessity to formalize change.

I also agree that the manipulation operates at an indirection but has meaning, I think the greatest example to that is problem reduction, that operates at a higher level of indirection but eventually maps back to a completely different meaning.

But it is often times that the manipulation of the symbols is simply inspired by meaning, in fact, you can define abitrary operations on any system (by doing S -> S in a relation) without any useful semantic relevence to anything. Maybe we are cherrypicking the meaningful ones?
But maybe the fact that you can do so implies a different meaning. Well I guess we will never know. If we define symbols to be part of nature then surely "The opposite of nature is impossible."

Mathematics is effectively the study of things, therefore it has purpose, it can even study itself!
