I'm trying to think about how one can profit from this bubble popping through the stock market but I just don't see it really popping. You can't really default on student loans and the government can garnish your wages.
Ok thanks, and interesting. Understood re tickets written.

(I don't think it alters your point at all because you're still talking about constrained resources and a need to prioritize, but in traffic court in my village the PD is the prosecutor; my negotiation was with a police officer and he in turn represented the results of that negotiation to the judge. Same with everyone else's tickets. Only more serious stuff involved the town prosecutor - he was handling code violations, underage drinking, and a DUI.)

It seems to me it is fairly analogous to how our perception of mass in relation to GR has been for a while now. It is impossible for a particle with mass to reach the speed of light because a.s it gets closer to the speed of light, it requires more and more energy to get it going faster
Yes, I do. Though I disagree that FF7 is a good example of a game in similar circumstances.

Although FF7 began life on the SNES game, both that and an N64 version were completely scrapped before work started on the PSN version. I'd submit that starting an engine from scratch is a more straightforward task than getting partially through development on one platform, then having to port the engine and ensure it works reasonably well on both the old platform and a new one.

Regardless of whether or not FF7 is a good or bad example, I agree with the general sentiment that there are other developers that have done a better job porting games across disparate platforms.

My comment was merely to point out that having knowledge of hardware nuances isn't the same as being aggressive in optimizing for those nuances.

I also don't consider a Tegra X1 to be woefully underpowered in the Switch's form factor. Given that and the other evidence of a rushed launch, it seems more likely to me that insufficient optimization is to blame.

But I look forward to additional details, post-mortems, etc. becoming available (from you and others) as NDAS and such expire.

JuniorJobs – Entry-level jobs in UK tech
I'm guessing the issue is that there's something about the geometry of a frame that has to accommodate a wide range of people. I've had the same problem with old fashioned "ladies" bikes, but then again, the people for whom those bikes were made, got around just fine.
Back in the day I sold shareware which used successive keyed hashes to generate the registration key. While they key generator used all the keys the software only validated against the first n keys. When the software was inevitably cracked and a key generator was published the software would be updated to validate n+1 keys which would render the cracked keys unusable.

This left hundreds of pages of invalid keys across various crack sites with no way for anyone searching on Google to separate the needles from the haystack.

The software phoned home during the registration process as well and our analytics showed that 30% of our paying customers had gone to one or more crack sites and attempted to enter a product key before eventually deciding to purchase the software. This was a utility in the $20 to $30 dollar range so cost wasn't a major factor.
> These need to be banned.

It seems unlikely that the state will voluntarily cease this activity, as it achieves the quintessential goal of the state of instilling fear and creating the impression that the state lives in a legal and moral framework divorced from and above the common law.

In libertarian circles, we often hear people advocate responding with violent self-defense. While this is perhaps more likely, if done with frequently and vigor, to result in meaningful change, it also continues to utilize a "might-makes-right" approach to political change, which I find even more abhorrent than the legislative process.

So how do we achieve this ban peacefully?

>It's quite funny when you think about it, cyberpunk fiction predicted many of the most recent technology intrigue stories/events.

That's not entirely coincidental, considering how influential cyberpunk was during the nascent days of the internet. We have it to thank for the term "cyberspace" after all, and like the technology in Star Trek, a lot of people who grew up with it have been trying to "make it real" with limited success.

Scott's TEDx presentation says otherwise[1] - he was pretty much against Chuck's allegations to the point where he did a tongue-in-cheek presentation.

> It's still obviously a Chuck Close filter that acts in a way that completely erases/ignores the materiality, labour, and individual creativity that Close put into his paintings.

I disagree. In no way does that ignore Chuck's materiality, labour and individual creativity. In fact, it sheds more light on the process (which is very procedural and art critics would argue it is very "mechanical"). There is a tremendous amount of creativity in figuring out, as the OP has done, the underlying algorithmic beauty of replicating Chuck's works. Your definition of creative endeavor (materiality, labour) is profoundly limiting and very "physical".

I feel the opposite - OP's algorithm is way more interesting than Chuck's "materiality" and "labour". I will resort to Feynman's clip on 'Beauty of Flowers'[2], which does a better job of explaining my point.

This is probably where the cuts come from.[1] That's a machine that separates potatoes from rocks and dirt clods by dry mechanical means. Notice the toothed wheels over which the potatoes pass. There are other machines which do the same job more gently by floating the potatoes in water, while the rocks sink, but this one doesn't need so much water.

If most of your product is headed for the peeler and french fry cutter, there's no advantage to keeping the potato skin intact.

I bought a new computer with Windows 10 for my wife, an artist. It contains Windows Home edition.

Windows Update reboots her computer "outside of working hours". Of course, she leaves the computer running with partially completed work sitting in the application because art isn't something you do in one sitting. She comes back on occasion and finds that Microsoft rebooted the computer, LOSING ALL HER WORK.

This shows that Microsoft does not value its users and their work.

I could, of course, BUY an "upgraded, professional version" but I have a better solution.

I'm about to reformat the machine into Linux.

One way might be to make the money for these settlements come partially or entirely from police union treasuries. Right now cops don't give a shit if someone is awarded millions in a wrongful death suit because, hey, it's not like they're paying for it-- that cost is all on the taxpayer. If it actually hit them in the wallet they might be a little more careful.
Ah, thank you for these. I skimmed the documentation about AS3's XML support and didn't see it there, and I'm not sure "operators" would be a place I would've looked!

You're being disingenuous. First of all, my objection was to your equating whatever instances of Polish (please capitalize) retaliation against Germans with German war crimes. THAT is despicable. You cannot draw a moral equivalency between systematic German extermination and instances of retaliation (whether expulsion, spontaneous and isolated retribution, Jewish revenge squads or actions orchestrated by the Russians). Sadly, there have been attempts by some (like Erika Steinbach) to relativize and manipulate history to make Nazi war crimes seem not unusual for the time period, presumably to soften the guilt. Your original comment was doing precisely that. Second, much of the history surrounding retribution is still not settled and controversial. Sadly, it is politicized. There have been attempts to use favorable narratives to, e.g., extract restitution from Poland (!!) for confiscated property or property abandoned even decades after the war. A number of exaggerated, fabricated or unsubstantiated claims about supposed Nazi collaboration have been published as well which were later discredited. Third, expulsion (which was ordered by Russia and not something alien to Germans) is not systematic extermination (see first point). Fourth, ideally, everyone, regardless of ethnicity, should face justice. It is not always possible, but it does not mean that it should not be done when possible. Sadly, of the thousands of members of the SS involved in extermination and massacres, relatively few have faced trial. Finally, it's worth noting that Michael Karkoc, the subject of the article, is not German but Ukrainian. Ukrainians have not yet come to terms with Ukrainian collaboration with the Nazis.

No-knock raids kill police. They kill civilians. They kill animals and babies. They are the worst, most dangerous way to serve a warrant, according to police themselves. Yet these same police continue to use them because preventing someone flushing their weed down the toilet is more important than killing a baby in a crib. As long as our society accepts this justification, babies, people of all kinds, and animals will be killed and property destroyed. Police will get richer. Meanwhile, in WA, OR, CO, AK, etc. people go to the store and buy their weed peacefully without incident in a nice, safe, comfortable environment that is a tax boon to the states and better for all of society.

So the difference is just exactly how you want to make that extra money, and who in society makes it. As a society we can choose to go with the status quo, empowering police departments across the country while they shoot and kill more and more innocent people to enrich themselves, or we can finally legalize something that people are going to do anyway and use that money to fund our schools and hospitals to better society. The sad part is that most people are so closed-minded on the subject, they only see the first option. Then they get mad when babies get killed when that's a direct result of a policy they supported and voted for.
Ugh, I do not wish for that day. Ouch!
I'm not disagreeing, but presumably at least some portion of those expenses would be paid back in some way. The Australian model has the government provide the student loan. The interest rate is fixed to CPI and repayments are garnished directly from salary provided you earn over a certain amount (something like 50k). Students also get discounts via copaying which was about $500 per year from memory.

The government obviously never breaks even directly from this scheme. I think they've begun to exclude certain degrees that don't have good prospects which is a big debate at the moment.

I assume you're referring to the "Big Rip" scenario? That's not considered very likely, at least according to our best current data.
there are several use cases for a product like this. Lots of social media companies like twitter, facebook, reddit / etc have huge problems because of hate speech. In addition, as sirfz mentioned, child abuse and harassment can also be applied in this case.

Online gaming is another area where hate speech is big problem and a tool like this would encourage participation and possibly detect toxic players that don't help to grow communities.

If they don't suffer the consequences of buying a useless degree, why wouldn't they keep doing it?

Why shouldn't the lender also assume part of this risk?

Why is their recoupment guaranteed (student loans can't be dissolved in bankruptcy)?

Why are they always likely to be bailed out (prove me wrong by showing a student loan lender that went into bankruptcy)?

Lenders need to do more due diligence and stop lending to students that are more likely to have problems with payback. The entire liability should not be assumed by the borrowers and co-signers.

In theory, it means you can pay someone other than the original owner to handle the operational complexity for you (so long as the whole stack, including any necessary backend pieces, is open-sourced); it doesn't guarantee availability, especially at a price you are willing to pay, but it does mean that it's legally possible.

I presume you mean prosecution, though that, too, is not the correct term. In any case, what you write is not really true. Public safety is a concern, yes, but there's more to it. There's maintenance of the social order, there's correction of the criminal, and yes, there's vengeance. Justice is not justice without penalty for the crime. It's important to understand that revenge, as it is traditionally understood, is not motivated by hatred or draconian in nature, but is rather a virtue. What is today sometimes meant by "revenge" is a corruption of the traditional meaning, i.e., something motivated by hatred, something draconian and even vigilatist.
To be fair to him, the argument he's making is in essence the same argument behind the patent system. That in a world of perfect economic competition, all economic profits will be competed away. In such a world, no one has an incentive to create or fund startups, because even if they are successful, their economy profits will vanish due to competition. Hence, if you want to be successful as a startup, you need to find a business model that grants you at least a temporarily Monopoly. This also happens to benefit society for the same reasons that a patent system benefits society.

You may not buy the intellectual argument above, but at least he isn't saying it with malevolent intent.

There is definitely something in it when the article links turbo-capitalism to "the destruction of authenticity".

I find that wealthy people lack authenticity and more often than not, they seem to be completely unaware of their predicament.

They've seemingly lost their ability for self-reflection (if they ever had it) - That's why many of them trust financially-motivated personal growth gurus, success coaches, high-end psychologists and advisors to guide them.

A lot of wealthy people don't seem to fully appreciate that absolutely everyone around them is constantly trying to milk them - Eventually, they get so used to it that they start to think that they're living in some pink cloud surrounded by friendly people and they forget that these so-called friends always have their skinny hands on those fat udders of theirs.
