Well, but it clearly shows that making drugs illegal, does not help at all to keep people save.
But people generally don't know what they want. Just yesterday I talked with my mom about how in j2me times I worked to set up sync'd calendars, mails, notes, etc. Back then people told me no one needs it. Nowadays everyone is used to exactly that and loves it.
Harder than it sounds. Specially in companies where only a few are "tech" employees
Honestly the two finger controls are terrible on mobile though.

I'm somewhat ambidextrous and had a hard time getting the controls to work. A lot of times I'd cross the control area wrong and end up stuck, get shot and die quickly.

You need easier controls. Maybe hold for move, tap for direction fire.

Fundamentally the game is great, smooth, has decent mechanics. I'd play it if the controls felt more natural.
That's what I meant when they were ironically the smallest players in this club by this measure, both Microsoft and Apple are big players with products and services which are not so intrusive as Google/Facebook/Amazon.

Just consider what would be if Apple had the same market share on devices/PCs/smartphones that Facebook has on social media, it gets scary.
Ambient OS looks like the Microsoft Windows of smart-homes.
We need an open protocol for smart-homes, like TCP/IP for the Web. Something you have control on, that encourages competition and that can't be bricked by the company.

Graph libraries for VR (where the system has total knowledge of the scene contents) and for more powerful AR devices are definitely needed in tons of industries.

That said, as someone who spends nearly every waking hour coding for VR and AR, I find it hard to believe ARKit graphing applications are anything but throwaway gimmicks because the ARKit's lack of semantic knowledge about the local environment means there is no way for it to attach the graphs to contextually meaningful world points without significant user input.

Without contextual placement, ARKit graphs are just a way to force the user to expend metabolic energy moving their phone around to view things that can and have been presented as well or better on a traditional displays for decades. Sure, it's cool the first time you see one, but ARKit is not how you're going to want to view your SEO conversion data, regardless of how fun it was the first time you imagined it.

I recommend moving this library into Unity and starting to establish it as the way to do graphs on systems that can have semantic knowledge about the environment.
I think focusing on legal jeopardy misses the point.

Directors are Directors because they represent a big chunk of stock. Billy Bob's VC invests in your company, gets a big chunk of stock and a seat on the board. Even 'outside' directors are often compensated for their time in stock. As a result every board member tends to make their judgments based on whether or not their stock value will go up or down.

Karl Ichan doesn't buy a bunch of stock and get himself on the board just for grins and giggles. No, he expects to wield the managerial power the board has over the CEO to enact policies that will improve the value of the stock he went out and purchased so that he can then sell it for a profit and move on to another company.

As a result discussions at the boardroom level are around "is this good for the stock or not" and in that vein I would do the analysis.

I think regardless of the details of legality, it is strong anecdotal evidence that dollars spent on treatment reduce OD deaths more than dollars spent on enforcement. It adds to a strong body of research that already points in that direction
It's only gonna get lower.
That's kind of the whole point - the big manufacturers affect only the upstream providers of various scaling technology, tools, components and manufacturing systems suitable for mass production of very large batches; but the startup&maker ecosystem creates a market for a different kind of tools, vendors and components - ones that are useful for prototyping and building cost efficient small batch products.

A serious question for those who are generally skeptical about climate change: Why do you think that so many scientists, nations, and people are generally in agreement that climate change is real and primarily caused by human activity. Who do you think gains by pushing the (in your mind, false) climate change narrative? I honestly want to know, I'm not trying to belittle.

Even ignoring the data (whichever way you interpret it), those of us who accept anthropomorphic climate change see a pretty clear case of "look who benefits" in terms of climate change. The vast majority of money and power is on the climate-change-is-fake side in America (if not worldwide). Huge, extremely powerful interests have a great deal at stake in whether or not we work to reduce carbon emissions and by how much. The switch from fossil fuels to renewable resources could lose some very powerful people a lot of money.

On the climate-change-is-real side, its much harder to tell. Climate scientists don't have that much to gain, maybe a little research money here and there but nothing in comparison to say the oil and gas industries and those that use petroleum and petroleum derivatives. Renewables are an emerging industry. Batteries, solar panels, wind farms, tidal power etc all represent a financial opportunity to whoever gets out front. China is making large strides in this industry, but still its an industry in its infancy, it doesn't have nearly the political and financial clout that entrenched fossil-fuel industries do.

Do you see why it might be confusing for some of us to see regular people essentially defending the powerful against the weak, as it were? I think that the overall of the research indicates that the earth is warming and we're the primary cause (in that we're the cause that it is increasing so rapidly, as opposed to at historic rates), I know there is some bad science as there always will be, but this situation just makes absolutely no sense from a logical perspective. It would be the most confusing conspiracy probably ever to have a worldwide, grassroots coordination to move to cleaner energy sources for bogus reasons and defeat the most entrenched and wealthy interests in probably all if history in the process. For what? If the reasons are bogus why do all these scientists care? Who benefits?
Haskell's way of pre-defining an interface handles that, with less than a quarter of the boilerplate.
That's the evidence you've presented against my assertion, as neither of us would know the real answer. My links above could be perceived as control because a predominantly left wing paper is defensive of a company who runs afoul of a popular left wing issue, trust busting. It's as much about what isn't talked about as what's on the front page.

To quote you from higher in the thread, "But it seems to be in their long term interest to have a fair, balanced political system and liberal society as we have now in the US." Is buying a news paper to promote that idea not a form of activism?
If it's a great product that people love using why is retention low and churn so high? As a SaaS marketer I can tell you that throwing marketing resources and budget at the problem will not fix anything. The problem will just get bigger and more expensive. You need to really understand what problem your solution solves for customers and why they are churning before scaling your marketing.
<Search for something specific like "white nike hightops" and maybe 30% of the results will be what you are looking for.>

While I understand your frustration, there is an explanation. You are thinking of search & filtering as some sort of mathematical / boolean algebra process (hey, it's ok, I'm a CS grad).

Amazon is thinking about it as, "what does our show show that customers who have searched for [white nike hightops] have actually purchased in the past?" This is their search fitness function and they don't think they are wrong.

I agree on the broader point that 3p sellers and counterfeit products along with spam listings are a mess.

i'd say there's a substantial difference between having a computer that takes up a large room and needs wires, a PC that is small enough to fit on a desk and still needs wires, and a computer you can put in your pocket and doesn't need wires.
She may have worded it poorly, but here's the context:

> Still, some Brisbane residents say they don’t trust regulators will get it right, because what’s known about the toxicity of chemicals can change over time. Even though they won’t live in the Baylands, opponents believe they have a responsibility to shield those who might.

I don't agree with them but that's still a valid concern
"Liberals" are just as wiling to dismiss science when it goes against their narrative. This is especially noticeable in anything related to the PC-driven anti-scientific "human studies" narratives of the "left" where historical facts, DNA research and simple things like social behavior statistics or IQ test results are muted because they promote the thoughtcrime.

Speaking of wrongthink :) - the reason IPCC models run hot is because the scientists in charge are acting un-scientifically by discarding the data that doesn't agree with the "impending anthropogenic global warming doom" narrative and over-concentrating on CO2 as the culprit behind the "climate change".

So again, goes both ways, except I haven't heard of any falsifications at the hands the non-alarmist camp to prove their position this way - https://science.house.gov/news/press-releases/former-noaa-sc...

Actually, we figured the Youtubers thing pretty quickly, I just didn't emphasize this stage in the blog. We did try to reach out to them for about a month. With no luck. Only one more or less famous Youtuber posted a video about the game. Another one agreed to take our money and posted a video. Others just didn't respond. I don't know how others manage to market to Youtubers.

> "And that is a good thing. If they can be influenced in a bad way quickly, then they can be influenced in a good way, or away from bad way, quickly as well."

People are massively influenced by the information they consume. We tend to live in filter bubbles (we're discussing within one right now). Breaking people out of those filter bubbles is not straightforward, as you're asking them to trade the certainty of the world they know with the uncertainty of the world they don't. It takes a certain amount of curiosity to want to do that, and that's something that has to come from within, you can't bring it about directly.
They shifted a significant chunk of money to health services.

It's surreal. You just can't keep up with the craziness. Trump is setting back American influence in the world by decades, I think he's confusing 'great' and 'tiny'. Every day you hope that things won't get worse and then they inevitably do, it's like watching a slow-motion sinking of a large vessel.
Out of curiosity, is there a reason you've chosen to focus on "dark" events in the path? Is it because of the shadow metaphor? I'm sure there are plenty of good things that happened in the path too.
>There's no dangerous precedent/slippery slope

The parent comment gave a prediction of Monero being banned by exchanges. That is the electronic equivalent of banning cash deposits.

>E.g. you can legally sell stuff for a briefcase of cash, but you're required to declare the transaction, including the identity of that person (e.g., in USA, IRS form 8300 for cash amounts exceeding $10000; you can legally sell stuff online for Monero or whatever other consideration, but if it's a significant amount, then you are required to identify the person even if the payment instrument is anonymous.

While unrelated to the topic I was referring to, this is indeed a slippery slope. The minimum amount for reporting to FinCEN started at $10,000 decades ago, and hasn't changed despite inflation reducing the real value of that sum by several fold.

In some countries the minimum amount has even been reduced in nominal terms, despite it already gradually declining in real terms due to inflation. Amidst this gradual criminalisation of ever less substantial anonymous cash transactions, there are a growing number of calls for banning cash altogether. That is a textbook example of a slippery slope.
The story's focus is about how frustrating and bewildering it can be to deal with cyberharassment, not to detail the complete drama of this incident.

Rightfully so! Why, already under the terms of your parent, we can imagine the company transferring your data encrypted with rot13.

What, they broke the encryption and got your data!? Mercy me, how terrible, we sure didn't enable them to do that!
I don't think that's what we have here. We have someone that's not persuaded by what they've seen. Has anyone asked why? Even if someone is wrong, that doesn't mean they don't have something important to contribute.

I'm just sad the the first response wasn't something along the lines of: "Why? What does the graphic being a cartoon have to do with how accurate the data and the point it's trying to express is? Why are your experiences in a specific region supposed to map directly towards the overall global scenario? Why are you using hottest days in summer in your observation instead of total hot days, which is actually what's being discussed, since it's possible for the average to be much hotter, even if the largest outlier isn't as high for that year, right?"

There is, apparently, quite a lot of public land in eastern Oregon. I was thinking about the Unity area, give or take.
There'll always be people who lose their data because they don't have proper backups, people who lose control of their iot devices because they are open to and require an internet connection and people who die in a car crash because they think they are sober enough.

There are always tons of ways to make stupid decisions, a small amount of research usually helps.
Beyond the intellectual debate on net economic effect, we should have the humility to not punish people with legal penalties for actions that are fundamentally voluntary.

> You can easily haul lumber on almost any vehicle with a roof rack.

-You can easily haul very limited quantities of lumber on almost any vehicle with a roof rack.

I've tried once to put the maximum legal (well, in Norway, at any rate) weight of 200kg/450lbs on my Land Cruiser's roof rack, just to see how it affected handling.

I've only felt more nervous in a car once, and that was in a Congolese taxi seemingly bent on having a go on the sound barrier. In the dark. With no lights.

The body roll was extreme, and any bump in the road led to damped oscillations like you wouldn't believe. After a bit of trial and error, I found that slightly less than half the max allowable weight was about as much as the vehicle could take and still be somewhat drivable.

Come to think of it, an estate wagon of some sort would probably be better for hauling stuff on the roof - sits much, much lower.
Estonia would make more sense in North America; its overdose rate is right in line with Canada and the US (around 100 and 150 overdose deaths per million people respectively)
On the one hand that's sort of mindblowing, on the other not that surprising, and reading the original article just underscores my (thankfully brief) experience of working in a large enterprise: the one thing you can absolutely trust is that when it comes to product development a senior enterprise developer or architect will always focus on the wrong problem.

I find their approach to software development in general, and product development in particular, to be both asinine and perverse, and despite banging on endlessly about architecture and agile none of them seems capable of delivering even mediocre software, let alone anything you'd call good, in anything other than a geological timescale.

Applying those observations to this case: they should have focussed on creating a fun game, i.e., on what users want. Instead they focussed on technical and architectural issues and built something that sounds like an impressive piece of software but which is not fun, and which doesn't feel terribly polished or playable. In other words, they failed, although at least they have the stones to admit it.

This is enterprise software all over. Seriously, if you want to build good software, where "good" means 10x value adding in your domain of choice, and which users love, do NOT work in a large enterprise, and do not work with enterprise developers. These people will waste your time, hold you back, and drag you down.

(All of that being said: interesting article, and a worthwhile read if only as an illustration of how not to do things, and hopefully the author really has learned something useful.)
>For example, I read a persons blog post who said amazon had a rule that you can't sell your product on amazon and sell it for less on your own site.

Every distribution contract I've seen has that clause. I worked for a game company that used to give away (to friends and family) the games they couldn't sell through their distributor because they weren't allowed to sell directly below list.
Answering this question was pretty much the entire point of the article. I felt that each section gave a concrete example of a situation where the solution in the previous section fell short and then introducing some new complexity to handle it.

Yes, it appears to affirm that law enforcement is not the best bang for the buck. There has been plenty of work indicating that like you mentioned. That wasn't a "bold risk".

That is separate from saying that changing the legality of it impacts the usage though. There is not reason to take the result beyond what it indicates.
We approach this with documentation (using text / wiki), mentoring, and by trading product responsibilities semi-regularly. There are a few cases where specialized knowledge hasn't changed hands, edge cases, but the cross-training from moving products around has really helped. Also tends to reduce overly-protective ownership of pieces of our product base.

On the downside it means not many are "experts" in their product, and it also drives some folks a bit batty. You'll get into a new product, look at a specific bug, pull a string here or there, and then wonder how the Earth is still in one piece.

Edit: Yet when employees leave there's generally at least one entire team still with us that built or maintained the product who can fill in and help, if needed.
It's sense. It's definitely not common! (common enough, anyway)

I thought it was just something startups struggled with, but my mom, a long time transportation engineer, was just telling me about consultants who were paid a ton of money to do toll road analyses for the state and left sparse documentation, so I'm guessing it's a struggle everywhere, though some are better or worse at it.

HN has political clusters which are mappable (and if someone would like to help me in that venture I'd appreciate it, I can be contacted via gmail).

There is a very strong libertarian contingent, a moderately strong centrist contingent, a moderately strong socialist contingent (ie the Scandinavian social democracy model you point to) and small extremist contingents consisting of a few fascists and a few communists. Some of the libertarians are anarchists/voluntaryists but being anarchists they reject labels :)

The section of the document you refer to is regarding the response, not the query-language itself.
From the document: "A GraphQL document is defined as a syntactic grammar" -- therefore GraphGL has a (one) preferred syntactic embodiment. The document goes on (in A
BNF style) to define the syntax of the language.
The language defined here is very close, but not quite, JSON - if it were JSON, they could have defined the semantics of GraphQL based on its structure (which could be surfaced also in XML, etc.) rather than defining any surface/syntactic form at all.
If this domain specific language had a huge value-add over plain JSON, it would be another matter, but the notational convenience is small given the all the tooling that you lose by not having be in a standard format.
