No, I still don't. Games to me are about interesting choices. I don't care about rare "loot", or about finding yet another key to open this lock, or about improving some score by 0.35 angstroms.

That's totally not what I was getting at. It's more like, "do I castle kingside or queenside? Because if I castle queenside then my rook will be opposite his queen...?" The low inertial penalty is probably the rare (actually statistically, as opposed to "rare") quality of that particular item -- and it would still come with some other form of penalty. (Like a really PITA set of compatibility requirements and high fragility.)

unless the tradeoff over using a "Snargglemoofian power generator" is that your ship can no longer turn left or something.

I hadn't thought of "your ship can't turn left." It might be a great tradeoff for something that would otherwise be an overpowered weapon, combined with another kind of movement penalty. I have thought of things like a shield upgrade that gives you really high resists across 120 degrees of arc, but which isn't configurable. "Your ship can't turn left" might be a really good penalty for a high resist/partial arc shield augment that mostly covers your right side.

EDIT: An even better idea: you get high resists over a 120 degree arc, but then you also get a susceptibility penalty over the rest!

It's not that hard to search Wikileaks. What I did was searching for emails sent by Podesta himself. There are not many of them, so you can easily read through all of them. Many of these emails are him giving instructions or approving drafts from NYT. Go ahead, read them and make up your own mind.
They say they use generic implementations in languages like Java and Swift. I'm left wondering how that impacts security against side channels.

I also can't seem to find any actual security definitions or proofs for the project; I am thus disinclined to trust any security guarantees this project claims to offer.

Tax-exempt endowments seems like the absolute most logical loophole to close (perhaps a minimum size, but the point stands). They're some of the largest institutional investors in the country, yet they're taxed like a non-profit. Even if donations aren't taxed, just treat the endowments like any other institutional investor.

NOTE: This should not in any way rule out additional tax reform, whatever your preferred mechanism. The point is to treat multibillion dollar institutional investors like multibillion dollar institutional investors, however we wind up choosing.
It's dealing with that "bit of other challenges" that's worth the extra money. The mainframe folks have been doing large scale orchestration over massive numbers of VMs since the 60s.
When was that enacted? It's quite easy to run into 'technical limitations' or otherwise find ways to put pressure back on the law that effectively invalidate it. Or even cheat. Unless there are already existing cars that work that way.
I agree with this but let me ask you, how many do you think respond more from anger vs calmness? I think or at least I'd like to believe that more people respond from calmness and I'd rather interact and be successful through calmness even if it means I don't exactly get what I want that small amount of time from those who would respond better from anger.
From what I can tell, Milagro does more-or-less the same thing as Ethereum. In what ways it it different?
Which is strange, really. I can't speak for every mid-20s guy, but I'd personally be much more interested in seeing a relatively unknown industry veteran get up to talk about something interesting than see hip funny JS talk #38292 from some guy in a humorous T-shirt.
The utterly stupid thing is that the hype is what killed the game. Of course, then I guess they wouldn't have been able to charge AAA price for it and get away with it :/

I'm a fan of the space sim / massive universe concept and pretty much ignored most of the NMS hype, so I had no expectations going in. What I found when I did go in was an immediately recognizable game that I'd describe as Elite + Noctis with modern graphics. Which is fine, really. Particularly, anyone that loved playing Noctis would love playing NMS.

The problem is that price tag and the hype though. The game just doesn't have the staying power. I'd feel a bit better about the price tag if the studio communicated what they're doing more. I don't mind paying that price for a game in and of itself - games are expensive to make and I kinda hate the race-to-the-bottom that gives us things like freemium. However at this point, NMS feels abandoned by the studio and that's disappointing.

Jim Sterling did two excellent videos exploring the gaming hype culture and what everyone's roles were in this mess (the studio, Sony, the games press at large and the gaming public). They're worth watching in order for anyone that hasn't seen them:

Oh, so that's what the replacements that Disney outsourced and canned those US professionals will be using? Maybe not the most polite type of joke, but hey, I just saw that a judge recently smacked down the class action the terminated employees had submitted (using sound logic).

Be wary of anything with Disney's fingerprints on it. They are - rightly or wrongly - seen as Public Enemy #1 to Copyright reform. Throwing some spare change into the pond of Open Source should be measured.
"You'll need to source that."

See the actual text that paulv selectively quoted out of context below.

http://chronicle.augusta.com/stories/1998/07/13/met_233245.s...

Second sentence: "U.S. Sen. Strom Thurmond, R-S.C., no longer supports racial segregation."

Actual quote from Thurmond below:

"I may have said some things that I could have left off because I favor everybody receiving equal treatment," Mr. Thurmond said. "Race should not enter into it. It's merit that counts."

And in a (probably futile) attempt to stave off another misstatement of my position: I don't believe Strom Thurmond stopped being a racist. I don't believe that Robert Byrd stopped being one either.
Hello |FNAME|, this is the Obama-bot Drupal chat module speaking
You are right sir. Playing in procedurally generated world is like going for a walk in the forest. Trees you see are unique and rich in detail but since they have no use for you you don't care about how different they are.

If you ware a primitive man from long ago when those different kinds of trees were unique resources to craft the specific things that your existence depends on then you'd notice the difference between them and you'd care.
I think that's a legislative issue, so probably not.

I'm thinking of cases like tax credits for R&D, where a company claims the lab janitors salary because the lab isn't going to clean itself, but the IRS decides that salary doesn't count as a research cost. The law from congress doesn't usually spell such things out. Or it says "necessary personnel" but is a janitor necessary or not?
I also don't understand why your second sentence is controversial to first. I'm not talking about space content, but about generated content in general.

Could you please provide an example of the game where generated content is interesting enough to explore? Where it's not just decoration.
Thanks! How about some existing platform for dev-blogging?
> I see how Clinton scandals get significantly less airtime than Trump scandals

I'm honestly unsure at this point how to take any specific cry about a Clinton scandal, and it's a problem of the Republicans' (and Trump's) making. You can only cry wolf so many times, so loudly, again and again for the exact same incident even, until people assume you can't be trusted to watch for wolves at all.
I think they need pressure to innovate beyond the standard incremental innovations. Tesla played a strong part in providing that pressure for electric vehicles.

Think about that a little more in depth:

For any one email, it's easy to check and dispute a discrepancy.

Checking thousands of emails takes time but you have to take that time to avoid the chance of validating a forgery. During that time, they're in the news a lot and someone may confirm a legitimate email in the dump, which will be taken by many as proof that the entire thing is valid. Many people will never change their memory of that. If you do find anything tampered with, it may be hard or impossible to prove to a level which will satisfy critics. It doesn't need to be provable to the level needed for a court case to be damaging politically – just look at how much mileage the GOP got from birtherism based on repetition and incredibly clumsy forgeries even with contradictory evidence available.

So if you compromise a political target's account, you could get the most damage from real dirt but you can get almost as much from a clever forgery among all of the normal office chatter as long as you don't do something like adding a Russian name to the Office metadata or claim something happened when it was unquestionably impossible (e.g. claiming a secret meeting when someone was giving a speech nowhere near the purported location).

An article telling people to be nice for the sake of being nice would be correct, but not change a single person. That's because everyone knows they're supposed to be nice, we've been taught it since before kindergarten.

Yet people are still assholes at times.

The point of this article is to say "being an asshole isn't even having the effect you think it does. It makes things worse for you too. Try being nice -- it might actually make things better for you. And then you may keep it up."
The right is further along in their process than the left is. But it is starting on the left.

The mistake he made was implicating himself in a crime without getting the deal first. He should have gone in and said "I can testify to criminal behavior, but only if you'll give me immunity." That's probably what his bosses did.
Any organization that uses organized communication methods is at a disadvantage. The more they do so, the more they are at a disadvantage. If an organization using digital communications produced 10000 "units" of good and 100 units of bad, and another organization that did not produced 100 units of good and 10000 units of bad, the organization using digital communication will be at a huge disadvantage in Assange's world. This is not a positive effect if digital communications are valued.

It makes me think of this fascinating article [1]:

«The problem, Seetah said, was that these protests led to a situation where butchers were afraid to let the public see how animals are killed. So they stopped bull-baiting, but a new lack of transparency descended on the meat industry. And that led directly to the hidden abattoir system, which ultimately led to more abuse. So there's a kind of vicious circle, where humanity's ethical concerns about butchery can actually backfire and drive the practice of meat production out of public view.»

and I'm concerned that Wikileaks in its striving for stature is going to end up subverting political system by trying to play games to force them to be better — though of course what I would like to see is a completely transparent form of government.

Hmm, that's a good question. I guess in the vast majority of cases, calmness wins. Especially at the workplace. And usually, it's better to avoid the people who only understand the language of anger, rather than confront them. But sometimes, someone has to stand up to these people.
That's probably a good idea.

But you can also pre-empt a lot of problems by designing the system around physical limitations. Many games have done that for a long time. E.g. I believe Terminus included things like mass for components, so adding all kinds of extras had a cost in fuel usage and maneuverability. So if you did build a ship loaded with the most powerful weapons, you could, but it'd also be a slow, hard to control, big target.

Mass, volume, energy expenditure, waste heat - there are lots of factors you can add to make it hard to exploit. Of course, you need to tune those factors, but it makes it less likely for really extreme effects.

Ask HN: How to structure or display complex rules/information
I've changed careers and am no longer programming (a bit of VBScript now and again doesn't count does it?!).

My new career involves a few years of training and I need to learn, memorise then apply rules - tax law if you are interested.

These laws involve things like (not exhaustive!):

- The name of the law, when it was introduced, when it's effective from, maybe when it expires
- Rules for applying the law
- Time limits
- Exceptions to the rules
- Rules for the exceptions
- Exceptions to the exceptions to the rules
- Other rules predicated on these rules

Do you have any suggestions on intelligent ways of structuring these in more accessible and easily memorised ways? I was thinking of something along the lines of a mind map but it quickly becomes crowded.

It could be software based or good old pen and paper. Flashcards just don't cut it, the links are often an important part of the knowledge.

Thanks
There are probably some true believers left, but everyone I've talked to in the last several years sees the corruption that exists on both sides. The surprising thing about the survey for me was that lots of people see that corruption as a major problem.

in the slides, check Slide 28. There's a bunch of useful software for wiretapping, but they need access to things like the Pre-Shared Key, or to be using an easily-exploitable connection mechanism like PPTP.

Of course router/firmware exploits cannot be prevented in the general case, so NSA-likes could figure out a way get in. But the null hypothesis is still that the NSA cannot crack strong encryption without some sort of pre-built backdoor IMO.

Based off of the leaks, NSA gets into things via two ways:
- poisoning the encryption methods
- social engineering/legal coercion to get keys
Hinton, Bengio and LeCun are the most well known deep learning researchers. They wrote an introductory paper about deep learning for Nature and they also gave a talk at NIPS last year. That would be a good place to start I think.

There are not many blogs out there about the topic as far as I know, but I can recommend Chris Olah's blog.
“Tear Down This Wall”
The author goes to the trouble of using the phrase "takt time" and linking to its definition but then misuses it. Assuming non-stop operations and 1 million units a day, the takt time (average time between unit starts) is about 85ms, not 3-4 minutes. Assuming a cycle time for interior milling of 240s, the difference is a factor of about 3000, which matches the estimate for the number of milling machines operating in parallel.
They're getting rid of instance stores because all of the bare metal can be diskless then except for the hypervisor boot media (they could even PXE bootstrap that if they wanted and run entirely ephemeral on the physical node). Think of the cost savings on the AWS compute hardware.

Anyway! Provisioned IOPS are sufficient for most workloads; if they're not for yours, you might consider a ramdisk (expensive) or going bare metal on physical servers (cheap).

The #1 pro tip with Uber is never, ever call for a ride unless you have clear blue sky overhead. Otherwise, because you can't enable the satellite view, it's hard to be sure what location is actually going to be reported to the driver. Location services can be way off base when GPS reception is poor, and in many urban settings an error of a hundred yards might as well be ten miles.

Uber could make life a lot easier for everyone if they'd just enable the satellite view, so you can verify that the driver will be sent to the location where you actually are.

Have you not heard any of the criticisms about this poll yet[1]? Also, FYI, it's the same poll in both those links. It's an LA Times tracking poll, which means the same people are asked over and over to track change over time. The TL;DR of the problem is that they "weight" ethnic groups to get a more indicative stance of how that group will vote, and there's a major outlier in this poll that does not correspond to how his ethnic group generally votes, but is weighted very heavily. That has resulted in this poll being ~3-5 points higher for Trump consistently over time.
