The interesting thing to me is that the level of anger involved in the customer interaction here barely even moved the meter and the support person - who is apparently also the owner and developer - went nuclear. Support professionals are used to dealing with people who are angry at them personally and in this case, the guy was only expressing anger at the product. This should have been a low-stress response addressing the problem itself.

This story brought back memories. I supported software shortly after graduation and the lead developer once joked with me about how we ought to just give people their money back if they couldn't make it work after a certain period of time. Nobody ever let him near customers without supervision. But even he, when confronted with customers disparaging his work, could cope by hand-holding the customer or asking them how they thought the program ought to work instead.

Interconnected Linguistic Architecture
The Sci-Fi Dune miniseries was actually pretty good, I think, but you have to understand it as a filmed theatrical production rather than a "television show". I think this is in the abstract a decent choice since theater language is probably more appropriate to a Dune adaptation on the given budget than a "television show" adaptation, but it does mean you have to go into it with a substantially different mindset than you may have expected. And I don't expect everyone to like it even if they do go in that way because that may not be what they are looking for.

It's how they deal with not having the budget to actually put people in a desert so it's rather visibly a desert backdrop at some points, it's why the lighting is often so strong and monochromatic like a theater's lighting, it's why the acting is with all the characters projecting as if they are speaking to an audience rather than in a TV production. At one point they even use a very theatrical special effect based on backlighting through a thin cloth representing a tent to show Paul's hallucinations/thoughts, rather than even a simple bluescreen or conventional image compositing effect.

The effort is interesting, but I'd have to call it ultimately a failure (even if I personally ultimately enjoyed it) as it almost completely failed to speak to its audience. I also think you can't really follow it if you didn't read the books, which I consider a major flaw of an adaptation.
Good point. Cars will still be valuable for road trips, but lots and lots of people will choose to skip car ownership and just settle for local, self-driving travel.

Maybe there will be a stratified market for rental self-driving cars; one for "just this trip" and another for "five days of exclusive use for a road trip."

Quake Champions is a complete bastardization of the franchise, and an attempt by Bethesda to revitalize the Quake IP with increasingly familiar Overwatch / Paladins / TF2 formula.

Will the game be fun? Probably. But I doubt you will see more than 50,000 peak concurrent players, and I doubt QC will be anything but a blip on Quake's timeline.

The ethos of Arena FPS has been abandoned by Bethesda. The community has been begging for Bethesda to remaster Quake Live with a modern UI and modern matchmaking. It took 4+ years to implement a party system, so you could join games with friends. The state they left Quake Live in is such a disappointment, especially considering its potential in eSports. How they came to the conclusion that it was the gameplay or the graphics stopping people from trying Quake Live is beyond me. People want lobbies, ranks, matchmaking options beyond quick play, etc.

The demand for photorealism over high visibility has had an unattended consequence in relying on game engines that are frankly too easy to cheat in competitive multiplayer. Even if QC became popular, it would be plagued by the same fundamental client trust issues that CSGO has. I would be very surprised if this game maintained any sort of following through 2018. QC is a serious misstep, especially when it offers nothing but brooding backdrops to compete with Overwatch, which is already a very good contender in the mass-market Arena FPS world.

/r/Diabotical gives me some hope. Reflex has quickly established itself as the replacement game for CPMA diehards. But real Arena FPS has not figured out a way to break into the mass market, and probably never will.
>The highly praised philosophical content is ridiculously short.

>Did you (and all the critics going this way that I guess will become the mainstream) even see the '95 movie recently?

The most sad thing is that the authors of the movie didn't.

I mean the movie is just a stupid fan service, just an ill-conceived mishmash of images taken from original movie.

Original movie had a well-built composition of images. Each image was appropriate, each scene was a logical and necessary part of the whole picture.

And those scenes and images were brought to the new movie in such a silly and thoughtless manner (typical for Hollywood in general), that they lost all meaning.

For example the last image, the image of the Adam and Eve under the tree of knowledge was dictated by the plot. In original movie the antagonist was the computer program recognized itself alive that risen against its creators. The Christian images of the fall, the archetypal image of the tree, all that religious parallels emphasized the central motive of the film, the motive of recognition of being alive and having a free will. And in the new movie the plot is different, there is no Puppet Master and no attempt to reproduction, so the image thoughtlessly taken from 1995's is void.

And so the full movie is void, each image is void and so the composition itself. Tbh there is no composition at all.
So now we are talking about quantum theory?

The law of triviality is interesting. Parkinson's explanation (not mentioned in the article) was that:

"A reactor is so vastly expensive and complicated that an average person cannot understand it, so one assumes that those who work on it understand it. On the other hand, everyone can visualize a cheap, simple bicycle shed, so planning one can result in endless discussions because everyone involved wants to add a touch and show personal contribution."

It's around $80/mo here for basic digital cable here, for just the service. Go ahead and toss on equipment rental and other "fees" (read: hidden BS so we don't have to advertise our actual rates) and it quickly gets expensive for even rudimentary service.

Quite honestly, I'm thinking about upgrading my PS Vue plan from the "Access" plan to the highest one that includes HBO and Showtime, at $65/mo it's still a hell of a lot cheaper than even the lowest-tier plan I can get from the local cable company.

That's a really bad argument, since between any two irrational numbers, there's an infinite number of rational numbers.

Ed: For an explicit construction of such numbers --

Suppose we have a<b, two irrational numbers.

Let b-a = d, the difference between them.

Then there exists N, an integer, such that 10^(-N) < d.

Let b1 be b truncated at the (N+1)th digit past the decimal point.

Then b1 is rational (finitely many digits) and b-b1 < d (and b1 < b), so b1 is in (a,b).

You can then add back one digit of b at a time, to get b2, b3, etc which form an infinite sequence of rational numbers converging to b from below. (We get infinite unique numbers from the fact b is irrational. Not all the b_n need be distinct.)
That, and that the industry has decided that the genre is "science fiction and fantasy" - probably because they think there isn't enough science fiction for its own genre. Mixing "science fiction" and "fantasy" sucks in my opinion.

Honest question: How can we help companies here "playing by the rules" in a global field against (in your airport example) entities like heavily subsidized UAE airlines, when they are essentially capped in some ways like this?

Now my "opinion" section WRT the above: If preventing consolidation and economies of scale forces airlines to other avenues such as sardine can planes, deceptive ticketing (economy levels that just take away things at the same price to push upselling), and govt protectionism (potentially exemplified by the laptop bans to some arab countries recently), is this the route we want to take? I don't have fantastic suggestions outside of "treat air as part of a US infrastructure which drastically needs govt. investment" so thus my question 1. (since I neither see my pipe-dream of infra commitment coming to pass, nor am completely sold on routing tax dollars to private corps, even if it would be an improvement on where they're being routed now. Perhaps build/maintain airports and infrastructure and be a "common carrier" of hardware that the companies simply rent? (I recognize states do this now, but I also know the level of infrastructure funding my state has available, and even intact roads are a fantasy.))

Is this happening under the NCAA?

If so, why would a top player want to do this? You can compete in pro without completing school, and you can likely make enough to cover the cost of school just by playing. So why put yourself through NCAA rules. I'm just guessing that something like playing for money on Twitch streams is probably forbidden.

Of course I don't like the NCAA in general.
The real problem is they are right. We are a minority. Most people don't give a damn about it. We are talking about a world in which you can lie to presidency, ridicule yourself and the entire country and still people believe in you. So privacy ? It's not even on people's radar.

Without that "mishmash" and scenes from the different animes, it wouldn't be GitS and people would complain about that. Hell, I wasn't ready to leave the room until I've heard THAT song. It came at the end and I nearly lost a tear. Same for the moment we saw the plane between the buildings of this superb designed city (did you look close? There is stuff happening behind the windows!). I'm sorry for you not being able to enjoy this. I'm not sure how I could believe you to like it in the '95 anime.

> For example the last image....And in the new movie the plot is different, there is no Puppet Master

Really now? You do realize that there are more then the '95 movie and the manga do you? In most of them there is also no Puppet Master and the main character has a different character. The main plot is different and they deliver different messages. They all are an interpretation of the manga. This one was too. Or did I miss the part where someone told us is was supposed to be the exact real life copy of the '95 anime interpretation?

This is all or the best you could come up with to support your harsh and rough criticism? A sign of missing knowledge? Man, your comment is void.

> It'd be cool if the browser used this to allow cross-origin caching as well.

As a caveat, there's info leaking here depending on whether the cache hits/misses, so this would need to be opt-in from the cache source, e.g. You set up subresource integrity and also say "allow other domains to load this resource from the cache."

Call it subresource sharing?

Edit: opt-in would need to be on both "sides" (sharer and sharee).

Old attitudes from when food was scarce will pervade for a few years to come until populations come to terms with food security. In times past many food items like Guinness and Lucozade were recommended for health benefits. I suspect they were more of a justification for people to spend money on extra food items because if you are on a calorie deficient diet due to a lack of money and feeling fatigued, of course an extra 500 calories of fizzy drink is going to pick you up. In westernised worlds this is no longer the case and we need to make a more informed decision about our diets.

Why would you make those updates? I like Noise more than I like TLS, but if you look at the recommendation where it says "use TLS" and ask yourself "how would I as a Python application programmer actually use Noise", I don't see the applicability.

Similarly: I like Blake2 more than I like SHA-2, but SHA-2 is universally available and strong (in the context of those recommendations, I also didn't want to explain the difference between SHA-2's HMAC and Blake2's keyed hash MAC). And, of course, part of the point of recommending SHA-2 was to recommend against Keccak. :)

I don't think I actually made a key derivation or fingerprint recommendation. I like HKDF!
