I find mind boggling the amount of games that have been released only in Japan.

Even series popular in the West like Final Fantasy, Shin Megami Tensei, Ace Attorney, Fire Emblem have had Japan-only releases, I cannot even imagine how many lesser known titles are lost to western audiences.

Probably Japan is kind of an outlier, but I guess other countries with a large enough market to support games developed for local (not global) audiences would have a similar phenomenon, I wonder if there is some hidden gem developed in China, Korea, India, Brasil that we will never be able to play...
Wholly agreed. Given where we're at, hunt away.

WRT to bison, their population is depleted specifically because of the US government's Native American eradication program. The US military provided bullets to hunters. The iconic image: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Bison_skull_pile-restored... this was policy. And in fact, the USG still works to limit their population - http://www.buffalofieldcampaign.org/ find themselves regularly in conflict with... BLM, I think. Some federal group(s), at any rate.
'Folks should just be honest' is unfortunately not a solid policy for an international marketplace.
Correct, its also worth noting that the US do have mechanisms in place to transfer funds from surplus areas to deficit areas.

I'm not sure, it's been a while since I used my chromebook, but I think chromebooks had similar limitations.
I could see microsoft looking to argue 'Google did it with chromebooks, why can't we do it with our specialized laptops'.

I think that these days, people are more worried about google using its monopoly for anti-competitive practice than they are worried about Microsoft. I know I'm more worried about google in this regard.

I still hope they're going to get slapped for this though, because it quite clearly is anti-competitive behaviour.

So it's even worse, because excessive border checks are an established trend rather than a new measure from the rather voluble Trump administration: returning USA airport to civilization is going to be a long and difficult process.

NumPy support is a borderline issue for CLIF.

Typical usage I saw is the following:
C++ has some class(es) that best represented as NumPy arrays.
So because those classes are specific to the project (not generic like std::) they don't fit into CLIF runtime, but the project supply a C++ library with custom conversion functions as described in ext.md that use NumPy C API tells CLIF that those classes are convertible to Python objects (that NumPy objects are).

That all NumPy integration CLIF needs and it has to come from the user.
But what extra features does this actually provide? According to screenshots, it has:

I wonder if they will push some politic agenda or if they will manage to stay neutral.

Massdrop is branded around group buys of premium goods, not batches of random crap off Alibaba. I think they would see high quantities of listings as spam/polluting their listings/damaging their brand.

Traditionally that sort of stuff just happens in a thread on a forum somewhere - but I have to imagine that there's a pretty significant incidence of non-paying users or organizers who get in over their heads, so perhaps there is a niche there for basically organizing private group buys as well, that are advertised through another medium apart from Massdrop's storefront.

Hot take here but since you brought them up: I think Massdrop has their own branding problems. I used to do them quite a bit but have stopped at this point because the discounts are just not good enough to justify waiting 6 weeks to get my item (and I've had some items that were delayed out to more than 3 months from drop completion to delivery). I now make it a policy to compare against Amazon or the retailer directly - and since you have to wait a month through Massdrop you might as well compare against Seeedstudio and the other source vendors directly.

Usually the discount is pretty insignificant ($5-10) so
I don't do it unless they are truly unique items that just can't be had elsewhere. And often those unique drops are limited to ridiculously low unit quantities and they're sold out before I can even order.

Not sure how quantity limits make sense on pre-orders, which is supposedly what Massdrop is doing. Is there only enough plastic left in China for 20 sets of crappy vacuum-formed keycaps or something?

It's a really nice model for Massdrop since they don't have to worry about fronting the money for inventory and waiting a month for the items to show up - their customers will gladly do that. But they're still very much taking the profit regardless of the fact that the customer is the one fronting the money - so it ends up being a terrible deal for the customer.
You want the short term solution? Go out binge drinking on Saturday, suffer through Sunday, and then go back to work Monday thankful that you have a way to fix your bank balance.
so how is it going to make things better?
The queue will depend on the airport and the number of border agents on duty.

A difference between 24 minutes and 1 hour is only slightly more than 2x, so it's not extremely significant in the grand scheme of things. Security lines on domestic flights can last longer than 24 minutes.
In theory you'd go there because there still is some genuinely cool stuff you can't get elsewhere. Of course, as has been stated, the problem is finding it.

"I'm afraid that the InfoSec community has been unsucessfully persuing the idea of "RoI" for security activities for a long time (I remember debating the idea 10+ years ago..)"

I've always suggested they focus on confidence in control of assets and IT. The upper management are usually control freaks that like knowing what's happening is what they want to happen. A good, security program puts them in control of the businesses assets. A bad, security program puts a 14 yr old troll or competitor wanting their marketing/I.P. in control. A list of their asssets, esp those easy to move, next to the cost of a reasonable security program is next move.

I'd love to see more data on attempts at doing this along with the responses. I know the scheme has already worked for people selling life insurance. I learned it from one of them. Might help on security since ROI is a dead end for most companies.
Etsy is very successful overall. They've been dogged by poor management the entire time... Especially the founder. He had very confused visions that were wildly ambitious with ridiculous ideas, ignored the practicalities of the actual business they were in, and regularly shot himself, his staff and his customers in the foot.

I wish someone else had done it. The way this worked out has hurt the segment they tried to serve - small business artists who want to bring their work to the public.

IANAL but Microsoft's obligations under that expired and I'm not sure if those arguments even hold up anymore or not.

It was mildly entertaining to read this line in that wiki page:

Ironically as far as browsers are concerned IE6-~IE9 was a fair attempt at suicide.

"I still don't get it! You're telling me, in Utah/Colorado and other places, that I can just go to federal/state land with a gun and a license, and get food?"

Yes.

Setting aside seasonal limitations and quantity limits, you may do just that.

Further, at any time of any day of the year, you can enter a national forest in Colorado, set up a target, and start shooting.[1][2][3]

In fact, I am fairly certain that you can just go live in the national forest provided that your encampment/structures are completely mobile and temporary.

It's the "Land of Many Uses".

[1] I recommend a lot of sanity checks, however. In addition to scouting the entire area for any other people and ensuring proper backstop, I would also give a courtesy call to the local forest service office and the local sheriff and give them a heads up. About half the time they would respond by telling me that I was not able to do that and I would politely inform them that they were wrong and to have a great day.

[2] Also note that just because you are legally able to do this and are "in the right" doesn't mean local LE can't come arrest you and seize your firearms and sort it out in court anyway. If you're remote enough and nobody is there to complain it's not really an issue.

[3] Do not do this in popular areas with hikers and kids and where there is little or no tradition of shooting in that place, etc. Don't be a dick.

That's a pretty smoking deal on the used Volts. I hadn't considered a Volt (or other hybrid) as not "ever be fossil fuel powered", but if you read that as "exclusively ICE" instead of "sometimes ICE", then it certainly qualifies.

I commute in a LEAF and love it and would absolutely consider a plug-in hybrid as a next car (or another LEAF).
He won it for not being George Bush, not for being black. Neither reason is enough to win a Nobel Prize, but you just attempted to revise history.

Of course, even if he had 'won it for being black' (which he didn't), that would be no difference than the hundreds of thousands of white men who got 'promoted for being a white man' or 'elected for being a white man'. But, sure, let's make an ignorant claim about racism as opposed to the (still stupid) choice the Nobel committee made to give the Peace Prize to a man who simply hadn't invaded the wrong country for oil.

What, the real reason wasn't stupid enough, that we needed to make up a lie to make it even stupider?

Hey, since we can change history to be whatever narrative we prefer, let's say flying cars were invented in 1971 and humans cured cancer in 1989. Why not. No need to stick with what actually happened.
If I could incorporate, programmatically transfer money into a business account with as little friction or pain as possible, that would be helpful.

It again shows that the oft repeated "men benefit from feminism too"-phrase is nothing but a weak ploy. The vilification of men is complete; sex is violence against women and male traits are "toxic". Clearly there is something wrong when dudes resort to life size dolls to satisfy their basic biological needs. The cowardly thing to do is to ridicule and lambaste the hopeless for being desperate, to refuse to consider that perhaps your mentality and snarky blog posts are part of the problem.

Take a look at all my bills. They motivate me to earn, at least, enough.

Then take a look at things I'd like to have: bigger house, better car, funny gadgets. Then I know that I must work if I want to have it.

Finally, take a look at the grass from all around the globe. Places I'd like to visit, to live, places where I would have the same job and earn much less. Then I know if I'm in the right place or not.

>Teaching people to interpret everything as discrimination by default

I don't see any evidence of anybody doing that. What I see is people complaining of discrimination and it being waived away and dismissed. In a normal, non-sexist, non-racist sector, when people say they feel they are being discriminated, it would be investigated to see if there is in fact any real discrimination. Apparently in tech it's dismissed as "ah fuck your feelings, you've just learned to see everything as discriminatory"

If you count gun violence only, that may be true.

That is to say we use civil methods to attack one another.

In Asia, if bare fists and feet aren't enough (most of the time they are) then stones, sticks, ropes, iron rods, dull knives, acid or kerosene serve the purpose. Criminals don't really need to carry guns, because government ensures that citizenry is disarmed.

I think a granny with stick and a goon with stick, stick is not much of an equalizer.
Granny with gun? now she stands a chance, if she wants to take it.

US killed their goons in the streets, posse, sheriffs, bounty hunters, armed shop keepers, business owners and homeowners. West developed that way and I sincerely think is better because of it. Goon cultures in most of Asia would be suffocating to bear for most US westerners. Trust me you don't want it here.

Free trade works, you know. If Airbus makes better, cheaper planes, then forcing US carriers to fly Boeing would mean US carriers losing market share to every foreign airline around the globe. Every dollar we spend overseas has to come back to the US, either as purchases of our products or as loans to paper over our government's deficits (Thanks Obama, Bush the Second and Trump!).

No, they won't. There's 3 different versions of Windows 10 now: Home, S, and Pro (and Enterprise for big corps). People who don't like the limitations of S are free to buy one of the other two versions, and they'll probably even an easy way to "upgrade" to Pro for $$$. Over in Europe, if that's not good enough, they'll just eliminate S and stick with the other two versions, and let only Americans get suckered by the S version.
