The old school roguelikes that were built when they could count on a keyboard all have heavy keyboard dependencies. Nethack and Angband both have command sets that extend beyond the case-sensitive letters. (Protip: When forgetting what letter a given command is, do not just start hitting keys looking for it!) Of course you tend to use a subset in play, but even that subset can be quite large.

If you want to play a roguelike on a portable, you'll need to play something built for portable. I have no specific recommendations... unfortunately, I can't help but compare things to Angband (my drug of choice) and everything ends up too simple by comparison. That's just my problem, though. Android certainly has a lot of roguelike things on it, the Web is full of reviews and recommendations: https://www.google.com/search?q=best+android+roguelike
Instagram is covered.

They have entered into an agreement with the original owner to distribute on their behalf.

However, if you're not instagram and "new portraits" are not, then they do not have a license. More importantly I don't think instgram has right to sub license your content. So unless it is instagram selling these "art works" he's breaking the law.

But, he's got more money than most of you, so good luck proving that.
sure. i don't disagree, but i can see why people would make these decisions. its a tradeoff between small numbers of angry users and burning money on something that is failing.
ESPN is certainly synonymous with sports. They also show a ton of sports, including the NFL (Monday Night Football) and MLB (multiple nights a week), NBA (multiple nights a week), NCAA basketball (almost every night), NCAA Football (every week and a ton of bowl games).
... of Madoka? Makes sense. The first two-and-three-quarter episodes deliberately conformed to the banal clichés of the genre, as a trap to snare unwary tween girls into thinking there would be lots of happiness and sparkles, instead of death, angst, pain, death, and more death. :P

Maybe Bill Simmons will be able to do that with HBO and finally create a legit competitor to ESPN's non-live sports programming.

Their 30 for 30 films are awesome (thanks to Bill Simmons though, we'll see if it continues).
There is presumably a level of demand for smaller bundles that would cause the cable companies to make changes.

If there is, the change probably happens incredibly swiftly.

No they cannot, and you cannot either :)
I've been trying, for years.

That, in my opinion, is one of the main objectives I have in using "agile development". Instead of looking over a project and providing the business with an inaccurate estimate of how long it will take, I offer the business a rough relative sizing of different features, and real-time insight into the pace at which we are progressing. Then the customer can form their own opinions on whether the next feature is "worth it" or not, and what to do if the project appears not to be meeting its objectives.

You also raised issues of end-point security: a very valid point I have no answer for. And you raise software patents, but there I think your concern is misplaced: as far as I can tell, software developers of the world have been quite vocal in explaining the harm done by software patents -- but the legal and legislative communities do not seem to be listening.
"While CEO do tend to be more on market value."

When market value is set by the CEOs themselves, the trend in market value is ever upward, as long as there is no pressure in the opposite direction. The highest paid executives have seen their share of the pie grow drastically over the past couple of decades, while fantasy stories of their importance and value get passed around to convince everyone that a CEO making 250 times the average worker salary is perfectly reasonable.

Competence has value, but the royal treatment of C-levels is absurd.

> It's not, it's a "public" key

Not just any public key, it's your public key. It identifies you.
There is a major logical error in this post.

"Sports" is not about to pop. Anecdotally, I would assert sports (NFL, NBA, futbol/ soccer) seem to be growing more popular to every day people.

What is potentially about to pop is the "entertainment" apparatus around Sports. Ie ESPN's programming the majority of hours per day that sporting contests are not airing.

It feels like ESPN is going the way of MTV. I doubt that music is less popular than it was in the 90s, but the one of its strongest previous consumption channels was disrupted by dozens of access/ consumption points - and simultaneously instead of dedicating themselves to airing music videos, MTV began to divert a lot of their airwaves (and I would assume resources) to reality TV and non-music video content.

ESPN (specifically) is in a similar position. On one hand, they appear to be working hard to offer streaming options - but they haven't gone all in on any type of consumption based or bulk access (to my knowledge)...

Instead, they put "characters" like Mike&Mike or Stephen A Smith to put on shows that are related to sports.

Unfortunately for ESPN there are too many content options (as well as competing sources for contract rights) for them to skate on thinly veiled sitcom characters and _very_ poor quality highlights in a world where we aren't locked in to 1 or 3 "channels" to access what is happening in the Sports world.

Companies make as much money as they can.
We stand on the shoulders of giants. Everything is a iteration of something old. Sometimes a pretty big one, which we call innovation. That's not to say that they aren't on an order of magnitude better and more efficient than previously but that's exactly the point. We do way more with way less these days. I do believe new industries will emerge from the ashes of old ones but there will inevitably be a transition period where things will not work very well for those not working on the cutting edge of tech.

Tpot – Tree-Based Machine Learning Pipeline Optimization Tool
It's certainly more dangerous than investing in IBM or Chipotle, but not obviously more dangerous than a number of things which we let adults purchase, including casino chips, time share properties, houses in California (which we'll subsidize your 5X leverage on), art history degrees (where capping it at 5X leverage would be refreshingly conservative), etc etc.

A $3,000 computer purchased today will depreciate to zero in 3~4 years, leaving you with hopefully some happy memories and a paperweight. Three $1k crowdfunding investments may do likewise. Do we distinguish them because they don't guarantee the paperweight?

I get the social purpose of e.g. preventing boiler room operations from extracting "investments" by retirees into businesses which are not actual businesses, but for businesses which are actual businesses which just happen to have 90% failure rates, "Distribute the risk among a group of people guaranteed to be at least middle class; and cap it at a figure lower than what they could reasonably spend on e.g. a wedding dress" seems to capture most of the social benefits of outlawing outright scams while also not outlawing middle class people from owning startup shares other than those they receive as compensation for services rendered.

I'd speculate that airliners hit more birds and suffer from it less compared to small aircraft. I could be way off, but my reasoning is that it's harder for a bird to dodge an airliner since it's moving faster, and the airliner presents much more frontal area. The airliner has much more weight margin for reinforcement, and much more motivation to avoid fatal crashes. (We're vastly less risk tolerant with airliners than small planes; airliners are the safest mode of transportation out there, where small planes are one of the more dangerous.)

In any case, I'd guess that the increased risk is quite small at the moment. The question is what it will look like in 10-20 years as this stuff gets more popular and technology continues to drive the price down. How this stuff is handled today will set the stage.

For anyone who hasn't already read it, I highly recommend 'An Astronaut's Guide to Life on Earth' by Chris Hadfield. It's a highlt entertaining read with lots of anecdotes from his training and time in space. The book really gives you an appreciation for the immense levels of dedication and focus required to become an astronaut. I also think his work ethic and positive outlook on life is pretty inspirational for anyone, not just those interested in space.

Guns are only "low hanging fruit" if you ignore politics, which is nonsensical when talking about regulation. Passing a sensible drone regulation framework is pretty much trivial.

That gun control is such a hot-button political issue is why this is a bad comparison and why even mentioning it looks like an attempt to wreck the discussion.

> Clueless developers and users around the turn of the millenium then somehow didn't understand the purpose of providing you with a quoted version of the email you replied to, and started putting the reply above the quoted mail, thus ending up sending a copy of the mail they just received back to the person they received it from ... and nobody seemed to notice how idiotic an idea that actually is, and so it became sortof the new norm in large parts of the internet to attach large blobs of completely useless and often close to unreadable text to every mail, up to the point where some people even invented justifications for the behaviour that mostly tend to describe how this "feature" allows them to work around the lack of proper thread handling in their mail clients.

Yes, I think the rationale must run something like "What if user A deletes the entire conversation they were having with user B, and user B replies to the deleted conversation, but user A doesn't know what the reply is about because they deleted the entire conversation, have a terrible memory, and are too embarrassed to ask user B to explain what's going on? Let's just send the entire conversation as quoted text every time."

Sounds neat. Would really enjoy installing and trying this out.

However, I can't for the life of me find it. Here's what I tried:

-Searching for "focus firefox". No results.

-Searching for "focus by firefox". No results.

-In hopes that the article might have a link to the app in the app store, going to that in my phone's browser. No Luck.

-Googling "focus firefox" and looking in various news articles. Found a link in venture beat but it said the item I'm looking for isn't available in the US store.

Hopefully it will be easier to find when it gains some traction?

"Does... does she know? Does she know she's an ad?"
Aha! I was wondering about your "20-30" hours number, then I found this[1]: "Know firstly that Moria is a much longer game than NetHack. This is a consequence of the vastness of Moria's dungeon. It may take weeks and months to play an Moria character from the beginning to the triumph over the Balrog (or to a late but permanent death)."

I played quite a few hours of Moria (never killing the Balrog, but I never really was that motivated to "win" - I generally enjoyed finding new items, and discovering/learning "all" the spells. This in the older versions that included fun things like "Genocide"). I've also played a bit of the various Angbands, but I keep feeling that the stuff they add/change tend to make for an inferior game.

I really thought NH and Moria were more similar -- I think now that my initial dislike for NH was based on this misconception (NH is indeed a poor Moria, but it might be a great game if not viewed as a "version" of Moria).

Your comments remind me of what happened in the music industry in the late 90s and early 2000s. Several of the big name artists (eg Mariah Carey, REM, Robbie Williams, even Prince) signed huge multi-album recording deals. I guess the sentiment was that these artists with a proven track record were a safe bet, even a sure thing.

Pretty much every one of these deals turned into a financial disaster. The biggest of these was probably Mariah Carey, who ended up being paid $28m not to sing [1].

My point is that the presence of massive deals doesn't guarantee continued growth or success.

The most ominous part of this article is the loss of 7m subscribers. ESPN has managed to shake off--so far--the overall trend that cable TV is dying. The average age of TV viewers is increasing [2], which is bad for advertising and thus bad for revenue.

In the US, the more subscribers a cable or satellite TV company has, the more bargaining power they have, which translates to lower per-subscriber content costs. This is why Comcast wanted to merge with TWC. It's all about reducing TV costs. It's also why cable companies will practically give away TV (ie your cable Internet is under $20 with a TV package or $60+ without).

So for the last 10+ years, ESPN has managed to thrive in a market where demographic trends are ultimately against them. The flood waters are still rising and eventually you run out of dry land.
