So, no more input than someone living 1500 miles away, when the rancher lives right next to it and have longstanding usage rights there, in many cases? Maybe they should get to have a say in how Central Park or Golden Gate Park are managed. Maybe wolves should be reintroduced to those habitats, for example.
Star Citizen will probably release when Overgrowth and Day Z come out of Early Access alpha.
I'd be a touch less sympathetic, the 800 animals lost to wolves a year out of a population of over 1.6 million is infinitesimally small, if anything it shows wolves are not a notable threat to herds grazing on public lands.

Another article about a similar situation that trhway posted below: http://articles.latimes.com/2012/may/21/nation/la-na-nn-dena...

TLDR: Hunter kills a horse in a creek, fouling it for the local residents who rely on it & making them boil their water so its drinkable (very expensive to do).

Said hunter used dead horse to kill the majority of one of the most well known wolf packs out there, this hunter successfully fucked over the locals water supply, and gave the National Parks Service hard data that getting rid of the buffer zone was bad (as these wolves were part of their study.

Seems ridiculous to allow people to shit all over state & federal lands, creating serious health hazards and killing tourism.
The sad part is that wolves kill and eat the diseased deer for the most part allowing humans to get the health ones (diseased deer = slower). I remember a study done on caribou when the wolf population was devastated in Canada where the caribou started getting more diseases and dying themselves.
It would mean they would have to admit that Windows is not an iPhone or an iPad, that they shouldn't blindly copy what that other fruit-themed vendor has been doing, that maybe people own their computers (not the platform vendor) and want to use them. Failure to acknowledge this is why 8/RT failed and they are trying to repeat it edging just a bit closer towards sane but it's pretty disappointing that they won't go the whole way.
The problem is here are the things I use my phone for when I travel:

- email

- social media

- maps

- podcasts

- pictures

- soft tokens for 2fa

The first few can be handled by a burner, but for pictures I want my nice phone (I guess I could carry a separate camera) but I have no idea how to deal with the 2fa tokens.
I'm reading it. It doesn't quite seem to work.

Objects that block a certain amount of light, and then emit a certain amount of light: You can only make that simplification if the entire world is evenly lit by white light.

Blur the entire matchstick into one pixel. Under white light it has to emit brown plus yellow. In a dark room it has to emit just yellow.

It's a clever technique but I can't figure out any way it's not fundamentally incompatible with having lighting. If one pixel has to both be lit and emit extra light, you need two RGB values.
I know who jwz is, but what is the "jwz fiasco"? That Microsoft built a better browser than him?
My off-the-cuff guess is they just force a memory/inst fence where x86 makes guarantees which is a bit better but still incurs some overhead.

Visual Studio used to(probably still does) this around volatile for x86 which leads to fun bugs when you port to ARM/etc.

Why not build a modern sail powered cargo vessel? A quick back of the napkin calculation puts this ship in the cargo range of a late 19th century clipper. These ships were as fast as modern diesel cargo ships, had relatively small crews (20-25), and were of course zero-emission. For a short coastal route such as this an even smaller crew could be used since you could dispense with a regular watch standing schedule.

It wouldn't be autonomous, but it would be way cooler.
Why does the title mention HP only? Seems that any Windows computer using Conexant audio chips + driver will have the same problem. Pinning this on one specific manufacturer feels weird to me.

No question there, these are problems (although in the countries I know about such as Germany, Sweden, Switzerland, the taxi organizations have apps, and in addition there is MyTaxi).

But if you are a person who is willing to pay 50 % more just to get the Uber experience, then it is rather likely that you are part of a minority. Which, I think, proves my point of the group that Uber mostly caters to: convenience-focused people with enough money not having to worry about (frequently?) pay for ridesharing.

Someone like you is already able to take Uber Black, so everything is fine, isn't it?

Star Citizen is a lot of hype. But its not a scam. Even in the case that it fails and a product is never produced, that doesn't mean its a scam. A scam requires up-front intent.

They went big. They could have stopped at the few million they raised on Kickstarter, but they knew they'd need more to accomplish their vision.

The window for nuclear energy has come and gone. Time to embrace renewables.

People can argue about safety of nuclear or storage of nuclear waste until the cows come home but what they can't argue against is government incompetence.

We need to embrace clean energy solutions that don't hold us hostage down the line.
Oh, UWP .NET has always supported ARM (since Windows 8). I assumed the question was about .NET needs outside of the UWP.
Funny, people expressing their "concerns" became a bit of a meme on the Start Citizen forums in the early days.

As far as the meat of the article, I've been following Star Citizen as a backer since the Kickstarter days. My take on the history of the game's development is that Cloud Imperium Games was kind of unfocused and spinning some wheels for a while at the start as they attempted to build a AAA studio from scratch by partnering with smaller outsourcing firms for animation and modeling work. I think they misfired on some of their choices of early partners but that seems to have ended and they seem to be focused and moving forward.

The thing a lot of people forget is that the game was initially going to be: "you log in, you spawn in your ship/you are your ship/and...dogfight". As well, many of the ambitious features that they've been successfully implementing like seamless travel across millions of kms of volumetric space were player requests. I know I requested the ability to fly from space to planet surfaces and also expressed that I would be content to wait longer for the game's release if that was possible.

I don't really have sympathy for the folks who feel cheated or abused because from my experience, CIG has bent over backwards many times.

Anyways, I'll get off the soapbox. I'm optimistic and the game is already fun, with only a limited amount of the full content to come (especially in June when they launch an expanded PU).
The future is looking bright for Python
Educating doctors is not a job for the pharma companies.
Before Star Citizen, Chris Roberts was working on Space Exploration/Trade/Combat game for Digital Anvil and Microsoft Game Studios - the Freelancer. He was ambitious, the features planned for game involved:

- dynamic economy based by station/planetary production of goods, demand and supply (influenced by distances and space piracy)

- known actors lending their voices to characters

- hundreds of items and ships

- massive universe filled with mysteries and lore

What happened instead was Microsoft stepping into the project and forcing changes to make ship plausible within a year due to continuous delays. Chris left the project. Universe was cut to 50 systems, bulk of characters gets killed off quickly after appearing in the plot, or have few spoken lines. There are omissions in items, like only only single top-class shield, whereas in every lower class there were three types of shields. Some commodities are sold on planet or few, but not bought anywhere in the universe, being useless for trade. Engine supports ship animations and plenty of ship models implement those, but they were eventually disabled. Etc. ect.

But game shipped, and besides cut content, it actually delivered quality experience, and even if it lacked replaybility, content or sandbox features of X-Universe games, it contained stateful multiplayer that resulted in game having long live in multiplayer thanks to Role-Playing mods and communities build around those.
The owner/lead developer (I don't know what position exactly Sean Murray holds) straight up lied about features in NMS (e.g. multiplayer) that weren't there nor will be ever added so I'd say it was a scam.
While there are some very real issues at Hanford, the issue this week has been vastly blown out of proportion in the media (I work fairly near to the the location). There is a massive amount of work that has gone into detection of any kind of nuclear leak around here.
Every head of cattle is still a lot of money for those ranchers. If its only 800, then the government should have no problem getting the money for a cheap solution.

Using one idiot to brand all ranchers is pretty reprehensible especially because waving that bloody shirt has no part in the argument I put forward.
Yes, feature creep at it's finest. Although this doesn't sound like creep it sounds like a full on race. It won't ever get completed.
Yes, very misleading. How unfortunate that this is the article's launching point for navigating the difficult critical concept.

I am not very familiar with Zelazny but am very familiar with accelerationism discourse and can therefore add another confirming perspective that these are not usefully related.
World-changing technologies like p2p filesharing, bitcoin, app stores, and even the web itself wouldn't have taken off if most personal computers were walled gardens. What future innovations will never even be given a chance at life? Will we have to depend on the big corporate players to move computing forward?
I HAVE played Star Citizen, and already had experiences on it that aren't actually possible in any other game. Will it meet all their promises? Certainly not. Is it going to "ever come out" insofar as a "release version"? Who knows, it's on 2.6.3 already, technically.

But the thing is, Star Citizen promised a level of capability of a game that has never existed up to this point. And I have backed it personally for... well, a lot. But even if it never comes out, I won't really feel cheated, because I know exactly what the goal is, and the challenges meeting it includes. It's not a scam if it fails, if it fails it was poor management and an impossible goal.

But I'd argue, seeing that even some Early Access games on Steam seem to have gained some Star Citizen-style features, that Star Citizen has raised the bar for what a space simulation game going forward should be able to do. And for that alone, it's worth it.
Unless you work with different Word versions, and different people across different organisations and send Word documents back and forth, trying to keep a workflow going...

Also commenting sucks, in some versions replies add a comment (which renumbers them all..), and in the next version the comment numbers are not displayed. It's a mess really.

Add-ons like iManage are relatively useless if you work with multiple orgs.
I feel more and more as if people are optimizing for number of experiences per minute.

I don't know what the utility function of the universe can be, but I would hope for something deep rather than fast.

Just decide to do it. You'll work it out. You already know what you need to know - sugar is bad and if it comes in a package it's almost certainly unnatural.

Take a look at http://www.marksdailyapple.com/

If there's one thing you need to hang on to it's this: no matter how starving you feel, you're not going to die if you don't eat something! Your body can go for three weeks and more without you taking in anything more than a few glasses of water each day.

In other words, if you can't eat something natural, don't eat anything at all.

You. Do. Not. Need. That. Snack.

(Personal anecdote: I trained for an ultra endurance event a couple of years back and used to set off on 100-mile rides without eating breakfast first. Once your body adapts, you'll be amazed at how little you actually need to consume to really feel alive.)
I imagine it goes faster to make the domain complicated with Xamarin. Make of that what you will...
IIRC Star citizen got started in funding around the same time as Elite:Dangerous.

It seems that the E:D approach has worked out rather better, in that they delivered an initial playable game that was rather lacking in some areas , and have been incrementally adding to that game over time in terms of both features and platforms supported.
Agreed, though I think you means to say semantics is the nuclear power plant.

"Everything" promised is a completely unrealistic expectation. Even much smaller games with much more constrained concepts make changes during development to make a practical, functional product. They've already broken some "promises" and will surely break more.

The question will be, yes, if it reaches the level of scope and experience they're aiming for, even if specific goals change along the way.

This is FUD.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy_accidents

All other forms of renewable (And non-renewable) energy generation kill more people then nuclear does, per KWH produced.

More people fall off roofs installing solar panels, then die in nuclear accidents.

Far more people die from hydro dam failures, then they do from nuclear accidents. Every hydroelectric dam is a loaded gun, pointed at the city downstream. Most of them are managed by the 'incompetent government.'
That's a good, understandable explanation. Thanks.

Another useful explanation is that new jobs are being created all the time, but most of the new ones can be done better by machines.

Not necessarily. The clause only seems to apply to the binaries provided on the iTunes or Google Play store, and not to the actual source code, which is BSD licensed [1], or any binaries you might build yourself.

I am speculating that the clause is intended to be part of the Keybase terms of service, but because the software and service are tightly coupled, it is phrased as a software license restriction.

We need to see the full, published study and its methods (particularly around recruitment and exclusion criteria) before we can judge it properly. Until then, the presented statistics about accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity potentially bear no relation to real world usage, if the cohort and data quality were tightly controlled, as you'd expect for an initial study involving the makers of the algorithm. A few other thoughts:

1. Even at 98% sensitivity and 90% specificity [0], which I don't think would hold up with real world usage in casual, healthy users, if AFib has a prevalence of roughly 2-3% [1] then by a quick back of the envelope calculation a positive test result is still 5× more likely to be a false positive than a true positive. With those odds, I don't think many cardiologists are going to answer the phone. You'd still need an EKG to diagnose AFib.

2. There is huge variance among people's real world use of wearable sensors, and also among the quality of the sensors. (Imagine people that wear the watch looser, sweat more, have different skin, move it around a lot, etc.) You'd likely need to do an open, third-party validation study of the accuracy of the sensors in the Apple Watch before you can expect doctors to use the data. My understanding is that the Apple Watch sensors are actually pretty good compared to other wearable sensors, but I don't know of any rigorous study of that compares them to an EKG.

3. Obviously, this is only for AFib. AFib is a sweet corner case in terms of extrapolating from heart rate to arrhythmia, because it's a rapid & irregular rhythm that probably contains some subpatterns in beats that are hard for humans to appreciate. As others—including Cardiogram themselves [2]—have pointed out previously, many serious arrhythmias are not possible to detect with only an optical heart rate sensor.

Am I correct in my understanding that every dollar pledged essentially pushes the release further into the future since the developer is on the hook to add something extra with that dollar? Not that each dollar comes with a signed and sworn commitment, but more that the $500,000 game probably would have been out and actively enjoyed already.

Keybase is amazing, and I'll be installing it on my mobile device. It really makes crypto a lot more approachable for average users. Their chat is great, and I'd been looking forward to the mobile app.

On desktop my only complaint so far is that they keep trying to jam everything into a single app. I think they could break things up into three separate apps: core, chat, and KBFS. Personally, I have no use for KBFS and I wish I could disable it. It's also slightly buggy on macOS, and it causes a warning messages to show when restarting.

It seems to me that Star Citizen is more about the journey than the actual game. I'm sure it'll be released at some point, but the fact that people are able to justify their purchase says a lot about the game and the community.
And Keybase desktop apps are freely downloadable from French IPs, so... ?
That's correct! :) Thanks for the assist.
