The difference here is that most games aren't absolutely awful without the cheats.

There's also:

-no way to get banned for using the cheat.

-a very very low barrier to entry.

-the cheat is directly replacing a bugged out, missing game mechanic.

-the PvP advantage is minimal, only affecting a small portion of the game.

Basically none of the classic problems with cheating are present here.

Hey, something we are already good at!

To add some substance to this comment, why wouldnt we just try to terraform earth first?
My anecdote is that poor people, perhaps because of necessity, do rely more on friends, neighbors and community quite a bit. Whether it's minding the kids, picking someone up, borrowing a car, some food, etc. Poor people don't have the luxury of being proud of their "independence" from others.
> this is sub-optimal in a life or death situation

I think that rules it out. Imagine a family member, or anyone, dying because of your sub-optimal solution.
No. The projection of an emotional object onto a logical construction has the capacity for being "wrong" or "right". Emotions are a different, more distributed form of logic and one should not construe homomorphisms across the two.
I am sure that many do have tactile feedback, but every touch switch or pressure sensor is a subsytem that you must decide is worth the added complexity. I doubt any simple approach works as well has human skin.

As always, the thing that gets better fastest is the computing. The mechanics and the sensors improve too -- but according to a slower set of laws.
Yeah, if you are average.
The members appoint the Board[0], and the Board makes decisions about surplus. If the Board distributed surplus in a way not in accordance with member wishes, we would just fire the Board.

Members also appoint the coordinators[1]. Coordinators are not bosses - they serve to operationally implement the strategy set directly by members. If a coordinator started acting like an overlord, we'd just remove them.

There is no decision in the co-op ultimately "above the heads of members". Our co-op is literally owned by the members. We appoint directors, set the strategy, and also carry out the day to day operational work with a lot of individual autonomy in our area of focus.

There are a few mandated delegations made by members (such as directors, coordinators, etc), but the ultimate responsibility and power is held by members. It's not effective to have everyone involved in every decision, and delegation by consent is very important for effective governance and operations.

Look, I understand you may not understand what it is like having ADHD, but your post came off incredibly dismissive. Telling a person with ADHD to "just focus" can be like telling a person in a wheelchair to "go for a run": it is incredibly frustrating to hear and can be nearly impossible. This may be a hard concept for you to get your head around, but this is a real problem for some people and medication is a real(and often necessary) solution to a real problem.
Yeah. IMO most of the blame here falls on the TV rather than the switch. Even when it's implemented well, Ethernet pause frame generation should not be enabled - certainly, not by default - on a consumer product, because it's really unreasonable to expect the average $17 consumer switch to handle it nicely. Furthermore, there's usually little need & little benefit to trying to make a home network lossless via L2 pause.
> However, when someone says that they have a serverless system I immediately understand what they are trying to say.

Obviously we don't as I don't consider the expression "serverless" accurate in describing what is really happening. Call it what it really is : pubsub, calling it "serverless" is misleading marketing.

> You don't need to scale the API Gateway

You still need API Gateway to communicate with the outside world, here is your server, you know exactly what I mean. What you call "serverless" didn't invent autoscaling in PAAS.

It's interesting by the way that you keep using product names "Lambda", "API Gateway" which aren't concepts but Amazon products. That's marketing. It's like calling all social networks "Facebooks". "Serverless" is a marketing device to sell Amazon services, I think people get it by now.
I'm sure that the AppStore could be improved, but I doubt it could have the effect people imagine (i. e. doubling revenue or more). Most of the software people used to buy can now be replaced for free (i. e. google docs, and.. nope that's it). If you adjust for that, I'd guess the software market is actually larger than it has ever been.
The requirement is that the workers are the owners of the business, legally and in terms of responsibilities and powers. All Loomio worker-members own the company together, equally, and no one who isn't a worker has any powers as an owner.

Some questions for those who are cheering Gawker's demise
Your example is a case of discrimination, but the economic rationale is unquestionable. There is a tremendous upfront cost for new employees, who are not valuable contributors for some lengthy ramp up period and furthermore accrue experience over the course of employment. So the lifetime value curve for any given employee is typically skewed left.
I think it would be entirely reasonable to suggest that the App Store dynamics contributed to that expectation. Along with the rise of browser based apps and services (also a cause here, granted) the App Store has been one of the biggest factors shaping the market for end-user software over the past decade.
Was in an extremely similar situation a few years ago and I kept asking the same question but continuing to burn myself out while I considered what to do.

Finally I just snapped and was unable to work or really communicate with anyone. I stopped showing up and felt horrible for my totally unprofessional exit. I had been barely sleeping and while sure the money was amazing I had no time to spend it.

In hindsight I should have worked on my communication skills and rapidly tapered down my efforts to a sane place. But I waited until I was just broken and had to bail.

However, it was in the end a much much needed rest. I took 4 months off work, got outside a ton, lost a bunch of weight, got my personal life and friendships recalibrated and jobs and work started showing up as soon as I was ready to work again.

Since then I have made healthier habits, and people actually respect me the same amount or more for having those habits. I also have learned tricks to still get an amazing amount of stuff done without burning out, which is largely communication, diet, exercise and sleep, all things I used to be awful at.

Take the break, it will be worth it!

Edit: and with 9 years of experience you already know how to learn, don't make the focus just more technology, at least make it a partial computer break.

I'd go the other way -- is there any remote hope of stopping this from spreading, regardless of abuses? History has shown that on a long enough time line this will be abused. Under what authority do they operate these systems? Since when has persistent surveillance become permissible?

I feel like I'm going to end up a minority here, but this is not a good thing.
Well, I grew up in a small town of 20000 in Virginia, and I don't think things are, or were, like this at all. When I go home, I see children arrive at the YMCA to play basketball unaccompanied. They also arrive at the library alone. When I worked at the town pool as recently as 5 years ago, our most common swimmers were kids who showed up alone on their bikes or skateboards. Thinking back about 10-15 years ago when I was younger, I'd walk the 30 minutes to school alone if I didn't want to ride the bus. My younger brothers did likewise. The four of us would have firework battles in the yard; in hindsight perhaps someone should have come out to discourage us on that last activity. In the early 2000s, at age 7-10, I would spend most summer days down by the creek with a friend or two. We'd set off by bike after summer swim team in mornings, take our lunches, and spend most of the day there.

I guess that's all a decade in the past, but I would wager that it's media portrayal that's more likely to have done most of the recent changing, not crazy people. There have always been crazy people, but it seems like they all organized to abuse CPS together suddenly over the last 10 years.

It's different because you don't contact another party's server to do it. The CFAA makes it illegal to "exceed authorized access" to networked computers. "Authorized access" is whatever the server's owner says it is. That's why the copyright status of factual accumulations isn't a protection for internet scraping.

If Feist v. Rural occurred now and Rural, like most companies, kept their information in a database online, Feist would lose not for copyright infringement, but for exceeding authorized access to Rural's server.

My guess is that the market is getting crowded in developed countries. It's easier to find a simple solution for a large problem in a place with scarcity of good developers.
A 120fps master will be useful for 3d at home where the technology relies on rapid alternation between left and right eyes, so the effective fps per eye will be 60.

Although, now that I think about it, it might be useful for theaters, too, since they're using two polarized source frames per projected frame. It depends if they're counting the combined, projected frame as one frame or as two source frames to reach their 120 fps claim. Actually, out of curiosity, I read up on how Real 3D does it, and they use alternating, polarized frames out of one projector, which would be 60fps per eye.

That sounds like you have a fairly consistent schedule though; the person I was commenting about made it sound like their sleep varied completely (they just stayed up until they were tired and then slept until they were rested).

Of course, many schedules will work for families - my point was that you need to have one if you are going to function in a multi-person family.

Lower surface area and higher albedo.
I was curious about efficacy of solar at the poles - trading off low azimuth for one long period of constant daylight.

I found this report [1] on panels installed at the South Pole, which seemed to indicate that this does work, although the panels never exceed about 50% of their rated maximum power point. A 175W panel there generates about 1500kWh per year. By comparison, I think the same panel in the US would generate about 2200-2500 kWh per year. (1.3m^2 * 5kWh/m2/day * 365)

There's a similar startup in our little accelerator here. Interesting space.
Drone deense/hijacking is a funny subject. Wonder how many weeks it'll take for people to write an autopilot-on-loss-of-signal for drones.

In fact that's sort of the endgame for drones. People don't control the drones, they tell them what to do/where to go. The autopilot figures out how to complete that task.
You've made a large number of authoritative-sounding comments on this story... and this one, like many of the others, is a guess.
What kind of changes would you like to see made to the app store?
That was the "before the launch"... iOS 7 was announced June 10, 2013, and was released on September 18, 2013...so it makes sense they spent the summer updating it to iOS 7.
That's a separate service.
For that, I recommend living in older neighborhoods and trying to get involved in re striping streets narrower. Cars speeding are a clear sign that the speed limit doesn't match the road design. When you make drivers feel uncomfortable, they slow down and drive more carefully. When you make roads wide enough for firetrucks to do three-point turns and with highway safety margins, drivers will intuitively listen to the design language encouraging them to drive fast.
Not op but I think the app store needs trials and paid upgrades.
I was like this until I had sinus surgery.

The bulk of the blame here lies with Apple and their stewardship of the app store.

I'm totally unclear how you made the leap from a difficult market for productivity apps on iOS to this being a app store problem.
The ads streamed just fine. None of the actual events streamed after the ads finished.
> OO, dynamism, late binding

None of these are required for ease of development. At least the first two often result in precisely the opposite.

HLLs are not required to focus on slow abstractions. For example, homogeneous arrays of tagged unions can replace inheritance most of the time. And they avoid breaking your code in 10 files and 20 classes (though for some reason this metric is seen as a good thing way too often).
It already has paid upgrades via in-app purchases. Upgrades, both one-time and subscription are explicitly supported. Trials are a bit of an issue, though, but it's quite possible for an app to offer the upgraded experience free for a limited time.

There is a huge game market, with people who really play games and buy their games for their PC, PS4, WiiU etc.

Than there is an even bigger audience who own a smartphone/tablet and consider themself casual players. That's the crowd that are catered by Free2Play games. They are often more like casino games or Farmville clones than real games - real games are fun, casual Free2Play are often created to be addictive and are based on grinding (= boring(?)). Some of them find out there a whole other world of real games, many will be in the impression that they are playing real games just because they know no better, and others ... etc.

To each audience their own. The negative side was that for years several Triple-A companies went down the Free2Play road while their audience all wanted just the next Trle-A installment. Several franchises like MS Flight Simulator, Age of Empires, Dungeon Keeper were destroyed/burned by dumb decisions. Even whole companies like Crytek, Zynga, etc almost lost everything.
This is my takeaway as well.

One of the most dangerous things about acquisitions is losing the "magic touch" that the original team had... requiring a cross-country move is not the best way to retain your talent.

While it's not ideal to model real life policies on television, the show Person of Interest actually covers a situation very similar to this. Instead of humans interacting directly with the information and system, the protagonist designs a black-box artificial intelligence (called The Machine) that utilizes NSA-provided feeds to classify persons as national security threats. The only information that law enforcement and the government receive is the social security number of the "person of interest."

By being a closed system, this kind of setup circumvents a lot of privacy issues. The AI acts as a neutral 3rd party (provided that the training set is neutral) in classifying individuals and actions. In addition, law enforcement retains full autonomy in deciding if and how to act on the information provided.

> Even if your code is perfect, the compiler might optimize it into something that might contain undefined behavior.

This is false. If your code is perfect, the compiler shouldn't do such optimization. Of course compilers have bugs, but that's compiler bugs not language standard problem. (Not to speak of bug free compilers like CompCert.)
First, hero points for doing a text based screw description.

Second, I assume that 100% of screws and bolts are created by cutting away - hard to imagine adding something to the outside of a shaft. The only question is whether the resulting threads are raised above the shaft (screw)- by cutting away the shaft, or sunken below (bolt), by leaving the shaft in place and cutting in the threads.

I realize there is nuance here - which is why I"m interested in seeing if I can find a screw (or bolt) that seems to break this pattern.
There's a lot of low-hanging fruit there. They could copy some Play Store features such as:

* Auto-refunds if you delete the app within 15 mins (this de-risks the app purchase)

* Suggestions for apps that your friends have used

* Better search

Other non-play store often-requested ideas:

* Don't disincentivise upgrades by zeroing out your reviews when you upgrade.

* More reasonable app reviews.

* App subscriptions instead of up-front fees (eg pay $1/month for each month where you use my app more than N times).

* Better curation of the app store (eg don't only feature games).
At the very same time it is trivial to update the drones of today to use a secure mutual authentication mechanism which the "drone defender" cannot break into. So, even if there is a spectrum DoS (which might be illegal to do for anyone apart from law enforcement) its not that the defender will take over the drone.

This is a cat n mouse game where the drone creator always has an advantage.
This is a brilliant idea. How is the site funded?
What's to stop the troll from submitting their own letter and joining and/or influencing the defense group?
Endgame is not just signal, it's inputs like GPS. Also, without external inputs, it's damned difficult to keep a lock on your location. But... not impossible.

Counterpoint, which confirms your comment: I spoke with a drone designer (DoD contract, so I won't name his company) who said he won a Red Team exercise (quaint terminology, that) against the US Armed Forces by using superior fly-without-GPS algorithm to get through a GPS suppression countermeasure. So... yeah, it's a thing.

That said, trying to do dead reckoning from a series of noisy sensor measurements isn't easy. Bias drift, quantization roundoff error (which integrates to a random walk if you're sensing rate), and filter decoherence are all real issues.
That was three years ago. It ain't over yet. It's better - I'm making some changes to my life that will go a ways toward fixing some of the enabling issues. But it's still a long haul to being free of depression, and I suspect I may never be totally free, just better able to deal with it.

Yeah, but GPS isn't a handshake, and most commodity drones rely on it. You can't take it over, but you can probably blind it.

Honestly, I'm blown away that 1) people would pay monthly for a custom font and 2) that someone who loves their work so much would see their app close before scrapping the custom font to lower expenses in an effort to salvage the app.

I feel like this is a statement about iOS development in general; that perceived design is more important than the continued functionality of an app.

Or, maybe I'm just reading it wrong and the custom font was a one-time purchase.
> This is false. If your code is perfect, the compiler shouldn't do such optimization. Of course compilers have bugs

Then it's not false!
For the most part, yes, each frame is displayed as a discrete entity. NTSC (standard def TV) was an interlaced format so every other line was updated at a time, which led to a much smoother feel. There are progressive and interlaced flavors of HD, but the progressive (non-interlaced) is the most popular format for dramas, while I believe some live events are broadcast in the 1080i interlaced flavor of HD.
