The fighting game community has led the pack for memes and vernacular in esports for a long time. It seems natural to me for this to be so - the FGC had the first real English streams with commentators that were extremely colorful and embraced the idea of the hype man. On top of that, the FGC is much more of a communal group coming from the arcade scene as compared to the home PC scene.

I think you are not giving the FGC the credit it deserves for its role in the growing popularity of "esports" and its role in shaping the character of the "esports" fan.
Where can I buy a database of IQ Questions?
Where can I buy a database of IQ Questions?

I'm searching for a database of IQ Questions, to measure these types of intelligence:

1. Verbal / linguistic
2. Logic / mathematic
3. Visual / spatial
4. Interpersonal
5. Intrapersonal
6. Creativity

I need not only the questions, but the permissions to use the questions in our own system, so just looking to a book, or copying questions from the Internet wouldn't be an answer.

I've searched in Internet, but couldn't find anything that's good enough.

Does anyone knows where can I find a decent database of questions I can buy?

Thanks!
I saw this 360 feature on Facebook and I loved it. Thanks for the library!
Yeah, I was going to say "this makes me feel old", but I've never been a gamer so even in my younger days I would have been unfamiliar with this level of "popularity". I think the Internet encompasses so much of life now that being neck-deep in tech is no longer enough to guarantee you'll feel plugged in to all of the latest trends/memes.

How about joint adoption of children and spousal privilege for two really obvious flaws that come off the top of my head.

The other thing is it requires someone's actual parents to sever family ties. Removing someone's parents entirely from the next-of-kin hierarchy.

For purposes of this discussion I would say the EU is one entity. If all citizens of the EU are sharing the same rights and those rights are defined in a single legal framework then I would say (for data privacy anyway) the EU is a single entity without borders.

As far as the difference between need and sense I think what you're talking about is actually cost. If citizens want data privacy there will be a cost. If they think the cost is too high then they will decide that it doesn't make sense. They should have the opportunity to decide.
Further into history, Microsoft used to be heavily into Unix.

Quoth https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xenix :

''' Microsoft omitted multiuser support from its own MS-DOS operating system because Xenix had it.[29] The company planned to over time improve MS-DOS so it would be almost indistinguishable from single-user Xenix, or XEDOS, which would also run on the 68000, Z8000, and LSI-11; they would be upwardly compatible with Xenix, which Byte in 1983 described as "the multi-user MS-DOS of the future".[30][31] Microsoft advertised DOS and Xenix together, listing the shared features of its "single-user OS" and "the multi-user, multi-tasking, UNIX-derived operating system", and promising easy porting between them.[32] '''
Ask HN: Changing Culture
Does anyone have experience of changing management culture? How do you get managers and business types to realise that they are harming the business, morale, engineers and ultimately the product/customer by constantly splitting and reassigning resource. In short how do you take the power back and empower engineers to make logical and thought out decisions where business types and managers including ex engineers are hell bent on treating engineers as a bucket of resource that they can arbitrarily assign to projects as and when their priorities change (even mid-sprint). How do you force them to cut out the noise in order to allow engineers to build momentum, purpose and ultimately great products? How do you move away from a project centric business towards a product centric business which possesses a more wholistic view and considers more than just the end goals of a project I.e. how other features relate. Does anyone have experience of changing culture to this degree?

Not so much, this is just Google making an anti iOS play as Netflix for example trivially avoids the 'tax'.
This thing was very hard to use from a practical perspective.

The PS3 was a popular console, and game developers had to get the most out of it. I was one of those unfortunate people at times. The PS2's Emotion Engine was already a pain to use (the emotion refers to anger, btw), but the Cell raised my emotions to new levels.

The PPC core was slow and main memory latency was terrible, you had to tune code for memory access, no problem, this was understood problem, though, and workarounds were known, if painful.

Then, you ad this wonderful array of SPE's. You could access five of them, but what are these things? They're really fast vector units with a little bit of local memory - 256k, if I remember correctly, and no access to main memory.

To write code for these things, you use a different compiler, and have to manage the DMA engine yourself to keep their local memory filled with useful input, and to pull out the output. If you're doing streaming computation, you'd basically have to schedule close to 100% ideal utilization of the DMA engine and double buffer data in and out of these things (reducing useful memory to 128k/SPE). DMA had high bandwidth, but also high latency. From the time you initiate a DMA, it was something like 1800 cycles before the first block arrives. This turns into a really complicated memory and latency scheduling problem very quickly. You have to identify specific workloads which you can run asynchronously, and then how to chunk them up for DMA transfers. All this book-keeping work is actually taxing on the anemic PPC core, which has a really difficult times with performance of conditionals.

Bah! Good riddance.

it looks like the field isn't marked as an FK in our semantic model. Could you go the admin, and click on "Metadata" and check to see what "special type" that field is marked at? If it's not "Foreign Key" you can set it to that and see if you can filter by linked fields.

What type database are you pointing this to? Do you have FKs/constraints set?

There have always been partners you can get the entire suite of results from.[1] I don't know how they haven't been restricted, but my guess is the FDA can't ban telling you what a SNP does, but the FDA can ban 23 and me selling it as a service connected somehow? Anyways, you can find out everything you wanted to know and a million other things you probably will have trouble of fully understanding.

This headline (and the one from the NYTimes) is a bit misleading – 23andMe is resuming giving health data but they’re actually giving a different kind of data. This new data is related to carrier status – genetic mutations that could lead to disease in your offspring. They still hope to gain approval to give info on health risks (what they provided up until 2013), but there is no public estimate for how long it might take. It will happen, it’s just a matter of time.
Is it just me, or does this service sound way too similar to Redtube?
Something similar could've been said about both interracial and same-sex marriage.

If the relationship type (interracial, same-sex, poly) is considered in some manner deviant or otherwise unacceptable, the number of people openly engaging in it will be small. As race relations in the US improved, as attitudes on same-sex relationships improved, the number of people openly engaged in these relationship types increased.

As poly relationships become more acceptable, more people will admit to being in them. Then we can examine what percentage is impacted by not being able to marry.

From their privacy policy:

Both "individual-level" and "third-party" still leave a LOT of room for things to be shared.
- At what level is the data allowed to be shared if not "individual-level"?

- Exactly who are third parties (is Google a third party?) and who decides that? Can it change tomorrow?

Nothing like an "apology" that doesn't apologize for the real wrongdoing. How I love corporate speak.

Yeah it was the "confusion" that was wrong. Nothing like apologizing but not admitting fault either. He's basically saying "we did the right thing, we just didn't communicate it clearly."
3:2 is the aspect ratio for comic books, actually.

I read a lot of digital comics (thank you, Marvel Unlimited), and my Surface Pro 3 is the best device for reading comics I've ever used. The 12" screen is the same exact size and aspect ratio as a physical comic book.
It really seems like this is where you should have some sort of concrete contract/agreement to reassure developers. Without that, I can't see how anyone could trust them.

The single most important thing that Twitter can do to encourage developers to build on their platform is to completely and unambiguously align interests. If a developer is successful, Twitter should be successful, and vice versa. This is infinitely more reliable than any promise and is how all successful application platforms operate.

Twitter and Facebook are 2 different products, the latter being a social network ,the former a "social network message bus" since relationships and streams are public by default.

Well Twitter should embrace that fact instead pulling the plug on successful Twitter based products and offer paid plans for business who want to build on top of twitter.

I disagree completely. I have two Macbooks (2015 air and 2014 pro) for work and home but also use an SP3 at home.

Biggest weakness of the SP3 keyboard is the lack of gaps. It's a little flimsy but that's not a huge deal. SP4 looks like it fixes both of those things and finally has a solid trackpad.

Either way once you get used to the keyboard, Office applications are still far better on windows than Mac. Even with the new Mac Office. If I were an Excel heavy user, it's Surface without a question.

Comparing El Capitan to Windows 10, I wouldn't say OSX better anymore. Windows 10 certainly looks far better, no competition. Similarly spec'd, my Macbook air feels a lot slower although I do still prefer browsing on it. For productivity, I much prefer the way MS snaps windows to each side and find it far superior to OSX's new split view. Now that Windows has their own 'mission control', the feature gap has closed significantly.

Touchscreen for browsing is pretty nice too.

Apology not accepted. Twitter tipped their hand here a long time ago - once the network got strong enough, start locking things down so those crazy devs don't do anything cool or interesting that you can't monetize, nevermind if it makes the user experience many times better.
I always find database & "data helper" tools fun to experiment with. After playing with this with a MySQL database for 10 minutes on my Mac I have 2 initial reactions:

1. The GUI is quite nice, and very simple. It is a glorified query tool that knows your tables and helps you make queries with visualizations and gives the results. It still allows for raw queries if you're into that and just want their GUI for queries.

2. The tool (or the Mac app, at least) still has plenty of bugs to iron out:

- I tried creating a "Dashboard" and it wouldn't actually create or close the modal window. Then I refreshed the application and it had created 10 of the same Dashboard.

- I tried deleting the database and the button just doesn't work.

- Many of the queries I ran on my own tiny sample db seemed to just not run. Closing & reopening the app didn't help.

I feel like the bugs could largely be to do with the OSX binary in specific, and not the actual platform. Quite interested to see how this develops, and am going to put a bigger database in to play later when I have more time.
Exactly. The problem isn’t that we can’t believe Dorsey’s intentions, it’s that Dorsey’s intentions don’t necessarily create the reality of Twitter’s future. Whether it’s Twitter or Facebook (or others), these companies will keep changing their product and business and thus consumers of their API will always be on quicksand.

Anyone burned by twitter will think twice about working on it again, however it is likely too valuable of a platform to not give ample consideration to.

I reckon twitter will merge with square and provide end-to-end advertising metrics for impressions --> clicks --> cart additions --> purchases. This will be valuable, and as much as I think twitter is silly, if they provide this they will do well.

Platform companies with stroes:

* Microsoft

* Google Play

* Apple

* [ empty ]

Super conflated and contrived appraisal here, but Twitter better post a strong offering in empty before facebook and they can't do that well without square and a platform or decentralized market. All this is to say, Twitter needs developers bad and to the extent they win them from Facebook and other platforms will be tied to the value they provide. I think that value will be provided by purchasing square in a merger of equals and building a dumb pipe platform, letting developers curate the content and providing stores.

We'll see what developer sentiment is, first few comments lead me to beleive it is not great.
What does this mean for content creators, I wonder? My understanding is currently, if I block youtube ads, then the creators don't get paid for what would have been a viewing. Does this mean if I sign up for $10/mo, then the creators do get paid, and I get to avoid ads? Sign me up.

The tough thing is that the calculation developers make is a mixed bag of components that involves not just trust, but fiscal opportunity. People's fortunes and livelihoods are tied to developing for a platform. In some ways, this ship may have sailed. Might be a situation where even if devs find a way to regain some trust, the actual perceived value of the commitment these days isn't as alluring.

The question is, what has fundamentally changed about Twitter's business model that has now re-aligned its incentives to better match those of the developer community to enable them to make this promise today?

Anything?
