It is frankly, a bad game that doesn't have much going for it outside the "It's Pokemon" and giving you a reason to go outside.

It is completely devoid of skill and rewards only having a higher level. The game isn't even pay-to-win or skill-to-win.

It's win-to-win-to-win.

If a person knows anything about the mechanics of the game they know casual players (and most adults) are simply not able to compete with lvl 25 school kids who can devote 6+ hrs a day to this game.

I'd rather play games where I can beat opponents with skill, not grinding.
Awesome post and site, my only complaint about this blog is that you'd think the top left would be a link and 'No Free Hunch' would not be one, but in fact it's the opposite..
Anyone knows if the situation is similar or different on GOG and itch.io? It's sure a good, valuable (because informative) marketing piece by Humble, but if anyone can chime in with info about the competition, potential users among us could benefit even more!

Bitcoin would be a great topic for another blog post, we have a really long love-hate relationship with it. Don't worry, Bitcoin support will hopefully return to our store and gaming bundles eventually. We know what we need to do to turn it back on (more or less, hook it into our SMS verification system) but we have many higher priority tasks work on. We are hiring if you know anyone: https://jobs.humblebundle.com/careers/ :)

While bitcoin is great for preventing chargebacks, it is inherently anonymous. That is good for certain use cases, but when you are trying to enforce a strict per customer limit, it is a nightmare. We invested a lot of resources into doing what we can to combat it, but eventually we figured that we had more important things to do and had to tap out. Almost 100% of the bitcoin traffic was bad actors, and even so it was such a tiny fraction of our sales, like under 0.05%.

There are a lot of diehard bitcoin users, like yourself, and I would love to support your preferred payment method again, but it is an incredible amount of work to do safely.
In those terms, we are enslaved by the existence of personal property. Or maybe by the existence of society, in general. Society's requirements force you into a certain set of paths.

Would you mind sharing details about your setup? I assume you have an Android phone since in mobile Safari you can't access the mic, full stop.

I'm also curious to hear what the error was. Do you mean an error occurred in the JS console? That isn't supposed to happen in any event.

If you want to more thoroughly test, try https://quiet.github.io/quiet-profile-lab although it's worth noting that this tool can only work on one device, transmitting to itself

Finally, it's intended to be a production library, not just a toy ;)

edit: it's worth noting that if your receiver is Firefox, you'll never get anything from ultrasonic. That's because firefox resamples to 32kHz, cutting off any frequencies above 16kHz
Umm it does if you know what the rates are to be there? Check back in 6 months and see how they do after their first round of churn?
Do you have any specific preference for what operating system you'd want to run? Linux seems to be what most people are going to run on it, though the devices do also run AIX (according to Wikipedia)

Have you looked into the various BSD's to see if they support it (yet?) I used them a couple years ago on some old Apple PPC hardware I had clunking around as they ended up running circles around Linux in hardware support and stability

In particular, it depends on your GPS quality and signal-proofness of your walls. From my home, I get weak enough reception that my character often runs circles around the neighbouring blocks, sometimes even getting close to the Pokéstop down the street...

Also, bus is a perfect venue to play the game. Personally, half of my game activity is logged on a tram.

You have to admit they're lucky we love Pokemon so much that we're willing to tolerate restarting the game every 2 minutes to continue playing the game. I'm on HN. When I say execution is poor, I'm referring to their technical execution. In terms of game design, as someone who puts in several hours a day into the game, the execution is of course great.
That's what WINE is, to the nearest approximation. Windows' ABI to userspace is at the dll layer and much larger than Linux. WINE tries to handle that, but falls short in some areas.
The grind honestly ends at about level 20 right now. Once you get a few good attackers, you will always be able to take any gym you want.

The problem now is that holding gyms is impossible. I can never have more than 1 because the time it takes to drive to the nearest gym and capture it is less than the time it takes for somebody else to retake a gym.
That's not illegal though. The people who are actually seeding the data, that's who the companies can go after, not the people posting files with metadata or magnet links. Sometimes (most of the time) those will be the same people, but that data is easily capturable via the aforementioned methods.
This doesn't work for everyone, but my approach this is to ask: what is the intersection of my unique strengths and the most important problems to address in the world? In answering this, you quickly discover you need a philosophy, an idea of what future you'd like to see for humanity, and you need to leverage experiences you've had. A few things I can recommend for starting this journey:

- Spend some time familiarizing yourself with your historical context, the political and economic systems you operate within, and ethics generally

- Do a broad survey of every single project you can find within your interest areas. If you're into non-profits, check out the http://foundationcenter.org/ library/database. If you're into startups, spend hours on Crunchbase / Angelist researching startups. Ask around. Google a lot. Make lists!

- Consider thinking through a cause prioritization framework. I have some mostly related to the Effective Altruism community collected here: https://www.are.na/morgan-sutherland/cause-prioritization. Bret Victor put together an amazing article re: climate change: http://worrydream.com/ClimateChange/. You can probably find other meta-level analyses. When you start to narrow in, you search for various industry reports, check out bls.gov, etc. and start getting used to looking for gaps and opportunities at that kind of meta-level. Note: this information is hard to find and being familiar with it is one of the main strategic advantages that good leaders have!

- Spend a good long time, multiple engagements of an hour or so, writing down what you think your unique strengths and skills are? Ask yourself: what do I do when I'm procrastinating? What do I find myself doing a lot but that feels very easy to me? Also ask people you know: "what am I good at?"

- Don't underestimate serendipity. Reconnect with people from your past. Go to meetups and networking events (but don't waste your time – scan the list before and introduce yourself to the people that matter i.e. the organizers). Explore online communities. Ask your friends if they know people that they think you should know and get the intro.

Ultimately: take a structured approach to solving this problem. Eventually you'll uncover and opportunity that you can't turn down. But don't forget the research you've done because soon enough you'll be back at square one! Welcome to the future!
The article title itself was very recently edited to include this information. (I cannot edit the HN title)

Are others getting a lot of recommendations for old movies? I have to be in just the right mood for a movie from the 1950s or earlier...
It really doesn't have the polish of a Nintendo Pokemon game. Execution being poor is referring to its technical accomplishments, not its gameplay.
As a note: "Uber" is not a good citation for "Many companies". ;)

But I totally lament the lack of use of tagged releases on GitHub. Sometimes I am looking for versions before some things but after others, for some reason, and it can be very hard to find in a commit list where the code was stable/functional. Depending on the repository, you often can't trust current master to be stable code either.
what if instead of saying "Muslims coming from location X", it were "people coming from location X"?

the issue is the same, we don't know how to properly vet these people, nor do we know if they want to assimilate (big problem if they don't)... personally I think given the world we live in, that is logical. I also don't think it should be permanent and we should encourage those that want to join America and all it has to offer so long as we can do our best to ensure their sincerity...
Currently using iTunes but will be moving to TMDB soon
I believe the high viral factor comes from going outside and seeing tons of people playing it and talking to strangers about it. That vitality has nothing to do with Pokemon specifically, but it's a factor that doesn't kick unless the game gets really big really quickly. And I think that initially enormous reception has to be largely credited to the IP.
Hacker news comments don't count.
In the past couple of years, the only times I can think of that developers have made vanity purchases, the average would have been affected by a few pennies at most. Calling that fraud feels incorrect.
Very interesting. This did two things:

1. Correctly identified a bunch of movies I had seen and really liked + some promising ones I hadn't seen, and
2. Showed me that I don't like any new movies

None of the 2016 movies were over 70% for me, whereas it identified some movies I had seen and loved as 97+%.

How does this work?
Indeed. I loved Ingress, and I felt more comfortable with that world. But it was nerdy by design. Pokémon, on the other hand, is something everyone has at least heard about - and it doesn't give off that "nerd" vibe. Hence immediate mainstream adoption.

Typically "bad actors" in this situation are bad in regards to the company, it's not a definition of their person or the source of their money (although those often coincide).

not having to change your (OpenMP) code was exactly how Knight's corner was marketed, and it was also the reason why it tanked. IMO we're far off taking reasonable advantage of massive parallelism without changing code. The main reason is blocking - on multiple levels, grid, multicore, vector. Compilers just aren't smart enough to do that for you - and at least CUDA has merged two of those together so you only need to care about two levels of blocking.

Talking about Numpy, isn't that what Numba Pro is already doing with GPU?
Probably, I mean I can run xfce on it, so I'd assume it's capable enough (not at my my work computer which has wsl (or GNU/kWindows) right now.)
I feel like you're just trying to bait me here, so I'll bite.

Surely it must be obvious that different people have different priorities when it comes to purchasing computers? Is there something I'm missing? You want lots of storage for cheap and music encoded as FLAC. I want fast storage (PCIe flash) on a portable device with good battery life and access to my entire music library in a high-quality format.

The fact that you say transcoding is "fun"—well, I'm not sure how to respond to that, because it seems to support the point I was making—that different people have different priorities. I do not enjoy transcoding, I would rather avoid it. Perhaps because I don't enjoy it, I would make different choices. Just a thought.

The comment about converting to MP3 LAME is a bit of a bad joke. MP3 was never sonically transparent. Speaking as someone who did follow my own thinking on the matter, I only have a small handful of MP3s in my library. No other formats (including WAV, FLAC, or physical media) were available for those songs.

All the devices which I use for music playback play AAC. I consider this unlikely to change. AAC is sonically transparent, anyway, so a third generation copy of my library would be fine, if I needed to do it.

FLAC is for archiving and first-generation copies, and that's just not something I'm in the business of doing.

Yes, everyone on our team has a GoToMeeting license, throughout the day most of our team is pair programming using the screen sharing functionality or talking with our users about issues or doing UAT before deploying a new build.

Personally I'm not a fan of pair programming, I don't like shoulder surfing, but it's an invaluable tool for mentoring the juniors so I still participate when I'm not working on one of my more niche responsibilities I don't share with the rest of the team as much (DevOps, Salesforce developer, DB developer, business analyst, etc.)
Opus works great for speech recognition but I wanted to point out how your argument doesn't support the conclusion logically.

Lets imagine that human speech had a nearly unique property of having another whole copy of the speech in the form of ultrasonic overtones at 10x the normal frequency at a loud volume.

You couldn't hear them and yet you hear speech fine. But a computer could make good use of the ultrasound portion-- and maybe understand speech much better than you as a result.

This isn't how it works in reality, but it does show a flaw in your logic.
AR is almost non-existant in this game. It's a semantic abuse to call overlaying an animated Pokémon on top of your camera stream "AR". It's also something you quickly learn to turn off, as it makes catching Pokémon much more difficult. For some weird reason though, mainstream media has sticked to hyping up the "AR revolution" in games.
I got close to installing Windows just for this reason too, but held back because I read that a port was in the works. Super excited to finally play it!
He's taking a much broader view. You aren't forced into that job, but how are you going to survive if you don't do some form of work that's accepted by society as such?

If people own essentially all the livable land on the planet, then there isn't really a way to retreat from society to live on your own terms. The owner of the land will eventually stop you from using it. So in a sense, you're being forced to participate in a human society to some degree, and forced to provide benefit back to that society. Consequences for not doing so usually end up to be having some form of violence or another done to you.
I have to agree that the rating options are very refreshing and easier to keep consistency over time. It also forces a choice between positive and negative which I'd imagine helps the algorithm learn things faster. Hmm...
Hi, Blackflame. I didn't call Peter Thiel a bigot, and I don't think Peter Thiel is a bigot. I do think he's remarkably unconcerned about other people's problems.

I would never criticize anyone for having a debate or a discussion, but Peter Thiel just heartily endorsed Donald Trump for President, even though Trump's platform explicitly and repeatedly calls for treating gay people (and lots of other people) as second-class citizens. There's a big difference between a debate and an endorsement.

I think he's actually suggesting that of the range of textiles and fabrics that we wear that along the dimension of complexity tshirts and jeans are the simpler designs and will thus be some of the lower hanging fruit to automate. I remember reading some documentary stuff or something about fashion evolution through the centuries and stuff was a lot more ornate a few centuries back. Then things went comparatively pretty simple in the 20th century some even argued that fashion was pushed to be simple for mass production reasons.
I'd guess that they track keys which appear on reseller sites. So the "bad actor" comes from later use, not from e.g. stolen Bitcoins.
I think any Nintendo IP would do well from the brand itself. But you're right. Pokemon Go is different. As someone who once obsessed with Pokemon 20 years ago, this game is like living a childhood dream. I'm pretty sure many other like me are what drove the initial traction. Social media did the rest.

Hell, it hasn't even released in Japan yet.

Fraud protection is built into credit cards: It's just not good enough fraud protection, and it has a lot of false positives: I've had to clear charges with my credit card company from a store plenty of times.

The trick here is that stronger fraud protections have to come from the places that have more information: When dealing with credit cards, fraud can happen in any direction: merchant fraud, customer fraud, third party with a cloned card, and even merchants with cloned cards: All trying to defraud someone, and with no one party having all the important fraud related information.

Therefore, in practice, fraud detection is a multi-pronged approach. What is true is that we shouldn't ask anyone grossing less than 100 million a year to have to do any fraud detection: Their online credit card processor should be doing a whole lot of the work, if not all the work, for them, if just because they are ill equipped to deal with the problem. Having to hire yet another company to wrap their own fraud detection tooling around your credit card processing just sounds like making it way too hard to run a profitable online business.

Ingress had at least a proxy for that - an in-game chat with distance-filtering, i.e. you could limit messages you see to sources closer than X kilometers. As for third-party tools, someone somehow made a player tracker once; I think it used changes in portal owners to narrow down your location.
