> I just don't understand how people play anything else other than racing games with a controller

Oh, not up to the challenge of playing games with a controller? /s

But seriously, adjusting controller sensitivity/etc to your liking and practicing helps a lot. You can also turn on aim assist in most shooters (it's usually on by default, actually). There are plenty of great PS4 exclusives that it'd be a shame to ignore simply because you think they're unsuitable for controllers (depending on your taste - Horizon Zero Dawn, Bloodborne, Uncharted 4, The Last of Us, Nier Automata, Nioh, Ratchet and Clank, The Last Guardian, Persona 5, Gravity Rush).

That said, there definitely are plenty of games that have terrible console controls (especially bad ports, like Kerbal) and I've never seen an RTS done well on a console.

There's more than one way to make ends meet and I'd be happy to see the wide variety of elaborate tax breaks available to high-income sorts based on elaborate business constructs removed to make up for this rather than punish young married couples. But then, I'm all for a mostly flat tax, warts and all, no deductions whatsoever, past a certain level of income, say the national median.
This has been used for a long, long time in mines, where communication can be very difficult. If there's a danger, e.g. gas buildup, trace amounts of mercaptan are added to the ventilation system. Miners smelling that awful rotten scent know to retreat to the nearest shelter area in the mine. To signal an all-clear, they replace mercaptan with wintergreen.

Your math is right. But, you've got to understand the cost of real estate is much much more than double in SF. Realistically, in Ralleigh regional area you can pay 120$/sq ft vs 1000$/sq ft in the SF Regional area (perhaps 500$/sq ft if your willing to commute for 3 hrs/day).

Now, SF might be a great place if you have no kids, no expenses and rent a tiny little room. But, as soon as you want to have a family and backyard, you better get out! SF and CA in general is no place to raise a family. The key in this strategy is, don't put down roots in the CA bay area.

There are some topics we can keep off limits in the workplace without causing our employees to be "cold faceless drones". You can have lots of fun in the office without bringing sex into the mix, it causes more problems than its worth. I'm not saying that any mention of sex ever should be cause for firing, and obviously if you have a couple good friends in the office and you make some risque jokes at your own risk assuming only they are within earshot, by definition there will be no consequences for it, but if someone overhears your dick jokes and feels uncomfortable, that's your fault. It doesn't matter if the uncomfortable person is a prude, a religious nut, a super-sensitive SJW or just someone that finds sexual topics distracting, there is no reason why sex should be discussed in the office. There is a large breadth of sexual topics that very subjectively range between "totally just a joke" and "totally disgusting", and I can guarantee there are lines of sexual discussion that you might find disgusting that others might find acceptable.

In a way, this is true which makes currencies having bad monetary policy a danger to the economy. But well managed government currencies are designed to curtail the "ponzi" aspect to them. They do this by insuring the currency loses value with time which prevents hoarding and by varying the supply and interest rates to make sure the currency is never too strong a competitor to real business investment. You don't want create a too compelling intrinsically valueless alternative to investment into real production and real economic activity because this jams the real investment markets.

Currencies that are not designed to lose value over time can never be stable.

Intrinsically worthless tokens engineered to have better than market risk adjusted, liquidity adjusted, real returns compared to real productive investment will always be unstable and fluctuate increasingly wildly as they get more popular.
This is a result of physical limits of production. As people hoard worthless tokens, their price increases which causes more people to hoard them instead of investing in real businesses with real production capacity.

This eventually causes production capacity to drop. That's right, when enough people do it, token hoarding displaces investment in businesses and factories and lowers global production capacity. This means token hoarding causes a drop in things available to buy with these tokens.

Eventually there will be people who want to buy real things with their stock of tokens. The tokens will be chasing fewer goods which means prices for stuff will rise (tokens will lose value). This might happen suddenly when people with large stockpiles of tokens notice that value is dropping and that there are tons of other tokens waiting on the sideline to make it drop even further. Hoarders might rush to get rid of their stockpile all at the same time before they're worthless which will cause their fall to worthlessness. This drop will bring the tokens closer to their natural intrinsic value of zero. The cycle can then start again, such is aggregate economics.

The 1920s and 1930s suffered from this type of cycle but with gold tied currencies instead of cryptocoins. It happened to a lesser extent in 2007 when western world central banks failed to keep inflation rates high enough. It's important for the world's sake to not let deflationary currencies become too popular.

When savings or financial promises are insufficiently tied to future production or to accumulation of real goods, there will be disappointment when a lot of people try to exchange them for real stuff. That is true for crypto currencies as well as government currencies (that is why the system is designed to make banks invest people's money in real businesses and minimize the proportion of money that is stockpiled idly).

It's nice to see 95% of people eventually received their items but that could've been achieved with a lot less hassle!

On a side note, I hope the addressing experience was insightful and will be thought of better in future applications. It irks me to see so many web forms with the very American form of "City, State, ZIP" that are not designed to handle any exceptions to that rule, not because the company policy doesn't cater to an international audience, but because the developers didn't realise that addressing is very different across the world - and those people all get their mail just fine.
On the contrary, it appears hyper-organized.
I am making the claim that while these vehicles may be useful for hauling stuff around farms they should not be abused (see Hummer, Jeep, SUV, pickup trucks, massive mommy waggons). While electric motors allow us to reduce the CO2 emissions somewhat the energy does not magically come from nowhere: there are externalities associated with all methods of power generation.

It is a truism that when people think they're getting a bargain they then over-consume and end up consuming more than they would have if the price were higher initially. I would like to see that not happening with electric vehicles.

Reduction in energy consumption is easily achieved by not chosing a ridiculously heavy, non-aerodynamic vehicle.

The BBC, Guardian, NYTimes, etc are just the mouthpiece of the same group of elites.

To get a "diverse" set of information, you need to expand your "sources". RT, Al Jazeera, Xinhua, etc.

You need to get information from the propaganda representing other elites.

But you have to keep in mind that all propaganda outfits are in the business of SPINNING the truth for their own agenda. You will never get the "truth" from the NYTimes, BBC, RT, Xinhua, Al Jazeera, etc.

It's up to you as a rational intelligent human being to filter the propaganda from the articles to get at the truth.

They are equal. The transaction fees go to miners. The difference between the value of fees and cost of mining is the miners profit. If the profit gets too large, new miners enter. This increases the cost of maintaining the network until it meets the net value of transaction fees (plus newly minted coins).

> can I use this for 'real life' code as part of an existing C# desktop application .. without tons of hassle

Yes. Your standard OOP features like inheriting from C# classes, implementing interfaces, etc are supported natively in F#. The main hassle in being C#-compatible is exposing an external OOP api with only .NET types and interfaces instead of standard F# types. This means, for example, exposing `seq` (`IEnumerable`) instead of `list` (`Microsoft.FSharp.Collections.List`) or using the struct-tuple construct in F# 4.1 so C# 7 can access it.

Once you are proficient, you will write

- have lot less dependency cycles

- using Option types over null helps in the long run

- improvement in productivity

The only problem is that you have attain a level of proficiency and flip the "train" of thought from OOP to Functional, and that can take some good time.

The examples other people are using are fairly narrow. I would like to substantiate that text categorization via naive bayes classifier is surprisingly accurate and simple. This paper[1] uses ngrams and a simple out of place measure to compare articles against different verticals and often sees greater than 99% accuracy for relatively small blocks of text. The out of place measure also adds a penalty to features not found in the document, which helps establish the individuality for the category classification. Raw matching performance is also fairly impressive; A less naive implementation is also highly parallelizable.

Right... this is the reason we have professional standards, because humor is not universal and some people aren't cool with certain sexual topics. Some people think scat and rape jokes are funny too, but just because they do doesn't mean it should be permissible discussion in the office. In a professional environment we keep sexual discussion to the absolute minimum necessary because sex is a controversial topic that is completely irrelevant to the job (in 99% of jobs).
