I don't think it's meant to be impressive, it's meant to give people a window into how large game development projects work. Maybe it's like every single game out there, but the point is I don't work at any game studios and none of the other ones publish their production schedules or host weekly studio updates.

FUD doesn't negate FUD.

It's pretty absurd to compare the operating hazards of nuclear plants to buildouts of residential solar. How many workers on nuclear plant construction projects have died per man-hour vs solar? It's akin to saying that hamburgers are less dangerous than avocados because more people have choked on avocado pits.

How are you accounting for deaths caused by waste containment problems over the next 10,000 years? In the Hanford case you have even nastier chemical and radiological materials on site prone to leakage or unintentional exposure in the future millennia.
It's not even a fair comparison. One is construction/installation vs running.

I would be interested to see how many deaths have occurred during the construction of nuclear plants.

How many deaths occur from solar once it is built/installed?

- Someone with 2 comments in total pointing to the same site

- A site called 'facts' showing a doctor selling books

- A site about nutrition focusing almost entirely on veganism

- A doctor who seems to push a vegan agenda and has a sort of cult following in the vegan community

- Cherry picking sources. It's quite obvious from reading some of the articles, and while I don't doubt veganism is good for you, it makes me doubt the site's credibility even more.

Can you quote the part that leads you to think that? At first I was just commenting on the title, but see the edit. I would agree, my interpretation makes this the most ridiculous hype I have ever seen, so maybe I missed something.
Yep we've thought of that but it turns out to not make the experience much better. (Local search won't work, you don't get snippets, etc.)
I get where you're coming from, I just don't think it's very relevant to solar power or energy subsidies. The rich were getting richer and the poor were getting screwed a long time before solar power was invented; I don't see how these subsidies are any better or worse an example than anything else. It feels like your issue is more emotional than anything else (hence why you keep saying "rewarded", as if homeowners buying solar panels weren't spending their own money on something that benefits their community). As in, it feels distasteful to spend money on something that benefits the rich, when you're hyper-aware of the plight of the poor. That's understandable, but it's a terrible way to think about a policy like this, because we spend about $4B/year on solar subsidies, which is enough to make a noticeable difference in solar installations but nowhere near big enough to affect income inequality.

Believe me, I'm all in favor of "Take money from rich people and give it to poor people". Which we already do, in a variety of ways! I just think we ought to be able to talk about specific policies like "Should we spend money on getting more solar power?" separately from that. You think climate change is an urgent problem? I agree, which is why the objection you're raising here seems like quibbling. If an asteroid were hurtling towards the Earth, and someone proposed that we build a rocket to fly a ragtag group of oilrig workers led by Bruce Willis to blow it up and save the world, would you stand up in that meeting and say, "Yeah, I guess that would work, but I'm concerned that it might exacerbate income inequality"?

Right. The current rules of the BLM are that they are to lease these lands for grazing and/or energy exploration.
I believe at least part of this is better quality cars that last longer. The 1980s started an era of crap cars that were junk after 100k miles. That's improved, over time, and not equally across all makes and models.

But, we finally seem to be at a point where there are fewer reasons to get rid of a 10 year old car.

Most startups that outperform start in areas where the reason to exist isn't obvious. It only becomes obvious later. (Do we need yet another search engine?) This is why it's important to have a lot of low-capital companies searching these markets. Once they find the reason, then it's appropriate to flood them with capital.
Well, I realize now that there is a leftism->Land connection mentioned in the article. I was too harsh. But I still think there us conflation going on.
I'm not validating what the parent comments was saying. Just seeing if I could get examples of these kinds of operations, specifically in NM and AZ. I know of Ted Turner, but from what I could find most of these "well fare" ranchers aren't really ranchers. Instead they are people who made their money some other way and bought up a bunch of land. I know a few people who lease forest land ... I don't envy them.

This is pretty much my understanding of it as well.

We can expect that, even though we're now at the point of being able to appreciate the minute differences in sequence from cell to cell, almost all changes will have no significant effect on phenotype. However, in aggregate, on the scale of tissues, the could be some interesting effects? But I doubt it.

Having spent a couple of days in a stroke ward over Christmas, the low prevalence of strokes should never be used as a reason not to test where possible.

I suspect a lot of people don't understand how serious and crippling - mentally and physically - a bad stroke can be.

If you're lucky a bad stroke kills you. If you're not lucky you lose a good part of your brain and motor function.

In practice this means you can be left unable to move some or all of your limbs, unable to talk, unable to hear, unable to understand what's happening around you, and perhaps unable to see.

It's no exaggeration to say that it can turn life into a nightmare.

Anything that makes this less common and less likely is a good thing.
It also took VLC more than 2 years to develop and release the RT version. By the time it was released the market had already declared RT dead.
In most client apps that obey backend-account feature-flags, the app will introduce (advertise) the feature to you itself when your account gets the switch flipped.

AFAICT, they don't expect this announcement to reach or sway anyone who's going to use the feature; this post is more there to serve as genuine news—i.e. it's written to provoke water-cooler "what Google is up to" conversations among developers. (It's on the Google Research blog, after all; what consumer would even see it?)
If you can. I thought the context of this thread was free-form postmortems, where people give a narrative explanation of why the startup failed. It's hard to aggregate that.

Also, there's the risk of aggregate counts simply reflecting the population of each job function, unless you weight them. Then it'll just say that every engineering-focused startup failed for engineering reasons and every sales-focused startup failed for sales reasons, which may be true but isn't terribly helpful for a founder trying to figure out what to do.
While this particular issue may not be much of a change, the overall situtaion still seems like one worth drawing attention to at any opportunity to encourage the federal government to stop putting off cleaning it up.

My wife made the observation a few years back that anytime she thought, "fuck it" while procrastinating or avoiding responsibilities that you could replace it with, "fuck you, future self"

Indeed, even the right to walk across private property on an established path is an ancient concept in common law. Plus, the American idea was always that the people owned all rights unless explicitly given to the government, which is quite different than the old monarchical idea that rights belonged to the king unless explicitly granted to the people. That idea has been eroded considerably in the last 100 years.
Is there development timeline really that absurd though? I'm sure there are plenty of AAA titles that have taken this long to get out the door, they just leave the announcement till sometime just before it's ready. I know that development times have drastically decreased in the past 10 years but still... I'd be skeptical if studio told me they were taking any LESS time with something this big.

Editing to add that we're not even mentioning the fact that they are basically building a global development company with studios sprinkled all over the US and EU to keep up with the new funding expectations, those things don't happen overnight.

One nitpick: The Buyer Pays.

Even though the contract states that the seller is the one responsible for RE commissions, you have a transaction where one party (the Buyer) is bringing money in, and everyone else is taking money out. Ultimately, the Buyer (as the single source of funding) is the One Who Pays.

The only trick is that, by allocating the fees to the Seller, the buyer has an opportunity to finance the fees as a part of the transaction (and thus also pay interest to the bank), so the Buyer gets to pay twice :)

If an rancher's cow hits your car then the rancher is liable.

No, the rancher is not. That's what those yellow diamond "entering open range" signs mean. In fact, you hit a head of cattle in open range, you're paying for the ranchers loss.

As an aside, how is a cow supposed to "hit my car" in the first place? They might exceed 20 mph if spooked, otherwise it's like saying that a pedestrian hit your car. The fact that said pedestrian weighs upward of 1200 lbs. does not absolve you, pilot of the 70 mph 4000lb. box of steel.

> Frankly, insurance isn't that expensive.

I've had a driving license for about 10 years and I've never been in a collision, never gotten a ticket, and never filed an insurance claim -- neverthless, my insurance premium was $95 a month (likely due to my age, credit report, not being married) until I switched to a pay-per-mile insurance that requires a "third party controlled snitch" connected to my vehicle's OBD port -- which cut my premium significantly.

> I can't believe that anyone would voluntarily sign up for this.

It saves me money and I don't have much money. Hell, it's why people even bother with insurance companies in the first place -- it's cheaper than depositing $60,000 in a surety bond to the DMV.
This is an incredibly reductive analogy. The whole point of the article is that the neuronal variation does seem to be relevant.
No quote in particular, but it seems unlikely that they would miss such a blatant dataset bias and fail to instrument their ML models with metrics besides accuracy. But then again, welcome to Silicon Valley :)

1 - 200/6158 = 97% is indeed a pretty suspicious coincidence though. I would assume/hope that they've shuffled a big dataset of recorded heart events (like the image in the TC article) and that the 200 people diagnosed with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation only rarely experience AF, so the number of true positives is probably far smaller than 1% of the dataset.
It is unprovable, because you can always posit a plan that matches the actual outcome from what was actually a random process. What the evidence does do is to weaken the claim that there is evidence for a plan.

You're triggered because I mentioned the word "trust"? When data leaves your computer, it's all about trust. I don't trust anyone so I don't want my personal data leaking in the first place. Most of the time ("like in mobile") there's no viable, realistic, practical alternative.

> when Captain Kirk flipped open his communicator he didn't select which app to use when requesting a transport

The original TOS communicator was just a dumb pipe into the ear of a switchboard operator (the naval rankings Uhura bosses around, presumably.)

In TNG and beyond, there doesn't seem to be "operators" per se, but the device still has a Conversational UX. Less like a phone, more like the Amazon Echo.

Presumably, in the future there will still be individually-packaged suites of software (and even such suites existing as rival products); but likely, in something like a space-navy, everyone has got the same software, and it's all been centrally requisitioned and integrated into monolithic monster workflows that show no hint of its origin. I imagine personal "communicators", despite the CUI, would resemble today's phones much more closely, as there'd have to be a way to install your own software packages and then manage the resultant overlapping suites of functionality, without requiring some full-time engineers to put it together into a streamlined system.

> That Google has several apps which compete and conflict with each other is absurd.

Google is a bunch of independent teams competing and conflicting with each-other (to launch products, mostly.)

The jockeying would be a lot clearer if each team had a distinct marque, beyond just "Google" or "Google Research" or "Android" or "Chromium Project."
I'll echo that I'm in the same boat. I feel the development team has provided a very enjoyable experience outside of the game platform, as well as within. I have hopes for their 3.0 release, but if I never play again I still feel my money was spent on something that was far more artful than EA cramming another shitty franchise down my throat.

Aside from the obviously messed up slides, I think everything there was pretty readable. I think odd layouts might actually help remember the content. When you mention the vertical text slide I can picture it almost perfectly in my head. If it had been just another evenly spaced, clearly typed bullet list among 50 others just like it, I would have a harder time recalling it. However, there is a time and place for aesthetics and that's after the functionality has been clearly established, since he's been giving essentially this same talk for tens of years, he probably could put a bit of time into the slides :)
"In tech, you never realistically need to worry about money or losing your job (as it is so easy to find another) - most people don't have this comfort."

This is a misconception. If you work in a cost-centre (biz speak for not making direct dollars) your task maybe cut. I've seen whole divisions in corporations cut when savings were required. Startups are notoriously flakey for employment for reasons other than direct failure. If you work in an area with measurable sales (product) you may make a lot of money.

Tech at the moment reminds me of Rock music in the 70's. Lots of cash splashing about, deals done, people making money in making music. If there is a re-adjustment due to technology, for example the move to coughDigital/CDscough in the 80's using our music analogy?
