First, some background - I'm an anarcho-capitalist, so when it comes to matters of policy I have as much issue with one side of the US political spectrum as another. I am explicitly not taking sides here.

Though I live today in a very blue community I was born and raised in a rural red state. I associate more easily with conservative Republicans because that was the community in which I was immersed during my childhood and as a young adult. I feel like I know how they "tick".

While there are certainly factions within the rising right wing that fit this description (e.g.: National Policy Institute, American Freedom Party), the vast majority of those who would be described as or even self-identify as "alt-right" are not part of them. They share very little with them aside from being associated with them by their political opponents.

> Historically it seems like totalitarian movements usually employ what we might term "radically anti-rational bullshit" as signaling. The Soviets did it too with Lysenkoism and statistical/mathematical quackery designed to bolster Lenin's theories.

I don't know anyone, of any political persuasion, that would disagree with this.

While it's easy to categorize the behavior of the right in this way, most on the right would do the same with the so-called "social justice" movement. Many would include those who advocate public policy to address climate change as well.

> It seems to serve both for social signaling within the movement and as a straightforward ideological stance on the profound and radical rejection of reason.

In my experience it is almost entirely signalling. The distinguishing characteristic of the "new right" is that they wear the labels applied to them in derision as badges of honor. See: http://sjwinsult.com/
That's a different branch of the extreme right.
I call bullshit. Here is Reuters correction:

(This July 24 story corrects paragraph 6 to read "share maps for free with customer consent" instead of "sell maps")

"Angle told Reuters that iRobot, which made Roomba compatible with Amazon's Alexa voice assistant in March, could reach a deal to share its maps for free with customer consent to one or more of the Big Three in the next couple of years. Angle added the company could extract value from those agreements by connecting for free with as many companies as possible to make the device more useful in the home."

Glad to see the backlash. When I read the original story I thought - this seems like a good product to sell to a SWAT team. It's amusing that a company named after the book/film "I, Robot" is the one involved in this controversy.

In my opinion, the market is ripe for a privacy sensitive electronics brand. Personally, I looked into this with phones a few times but just couldn't find the right mftg partner.

There's also the fascinating variant where a control line charges a capacitor over time to activate backdoor behavior.

One huge advantage: if your project already using CMake then you'll be able to include exact version of Boost library into your project as git submodule. Then it's will be built hassle-free across all of your toolchains and platforms.

This will of course require some proper configuration on Boost side, but no doubt they'll handle it.

I don't understand what you're saying here. It sounds like you're conflating negativity and honesty.

Honesty may or may not be negative. If you're Tesla, you can stand proud and say "We are trying to change the world," that is both honest and positive. If you are Zynga, you cannot.

Also, I like that labour is spelled correctly.
The claim as phrased is somewhat suspicious, since it's a regulatory rule and the industry had no firm ability to prevent the department from issuing the regulation (they could lobby against it, or try to get allies in Congress to exercise a legislative veto.) Such a promise may have been a political effort to soften the blow, but I don't see any argument that, even if she was morally obligated to follow through on the promise while she was Secretary, it would be even morally binding on a later Secretary, especially in a different administration. And, legally, if the condition isn't in the regulation or somewhere else legally binding, a politicians promise of repeal is meaningless.

Agreed, that is an awesome demo. I would agree with your point about state level propaganda, I recently read a novel "Version Control by Dexter Palmer" in which the United States has an entire division of people working around the clock to act as the president and tailor ads and other things specifically to individuals. I thought it was an interesting idea but if this technology gets a little more advanced I could see it becoming a reality.
The primary issue is that iRobot has your room data in the first place. iRobot created a design that includes the ability for them to have your data, despite any costs on their end. Since there is a cost on their end, they created this system with the intention of benefiting iRobot.
Not to mention that if you're in a rain/snow/sleet/hail/etc. storm and you need to keep your lumber (or some other very long moisture-sensitive thing, like one of those absurdly-long sub sandwiches) dry or otherwise protected while hauling it, you can now do so.
I don't mean to be dismissive, but here are the main issues I see with the process (and the final product):

- Bottom line, the game is not particularly fun, novel, or difficult. You'll notice that games like Flappy Bird, Agar.io, Papers Please, etc. are at least one of the three. Bist.io is not the type of game that will ever go viral.

- You spent money on AdWords but didn't spend money on sponsored Youtube, Instagram, or Twitch content? To me, this just shows a fundamental disconnect with your target audience (gamers).

- You should never polish a multi-player game until extensive play-testing. Single player games are a bit different, but with multiplayer games it's the mechanics that sell it. If the mechanics aren't fun, polish doesn't matter. Case in point: H1Z1 and PUBG. Awfully optimized, and generally terrible lag, but still massively fun and massively successful.

- Too much premature optimization. Having your servers blow up is a good thing. Don't worry about preventing the blow up until you get there. In other words, you spent too much time on load balancing, etc. This is the canonical reason good engineers make bad business decisions.

Going into something (even games) to make the big bucks is perfectly fine, imo, but, in short, your game just isn't very good and you have no idea who your audience is. You added "social" buttons because it's the "thing you're supposed to do" but omitted Twitch and Steam? You're not on IndieDB or TIGSource?

Don't forget top-down and fighting games. RPG's too.

But if you're talking about games that have a first/third person aiming component, yeah, mouse and keyboard are better, but if you're stuck with a controller, you just aim a bit differently. You have to rely more on strafe-aiming, sweeping, and movement prediction.

It's usually not so bad the controller is a reason to give up on otherwise good console-only games.

> Each RingID has 40 characters

We can't escape this because the canonical user ID is a public key (IMHO, that's a good thing) however there are some ways to transfer this information easily among users -- copy and paste is trivial and so are QR-codes (which are also nice for face-to-face authentication, but making them obligatory as in Brian is counter-productive).

Tox solved this by having an optional DNS-based username registration system. Not completely distributed, but decentralized and no harder to use than an email address -- with a bonus that it may be an actual email address for people and organizations with their own domain.

Is somewhat sad Tox didn't got used, it was pretty advanced even years ago.

"In all but the most serious crashes your face will not hit anything if the seat-belt fits well."

It's interesting that you think CMake is a "dumpster fire". Consider that CMake isn't the only build tool, but has, without question, risen to the top as the premier build tool for C++.

Why do you think that is? No doubt you'll say it's because the other options are worse, but I'll just say that I like CMake. I miss CMake when I use other languages and I can set up a complicated project with CMake quicker and easier than I can with other tools.

As always, it's what you know.

I don't think he has any actual positions, aside from possibly being very positive on Russia. He just sort of says whatever comes to mind at any given moment, apparently based on whoever he last talked to. But he mostly talks to people on the extreme right.

He also says that Carmack re-wrote the quake network engine which is true, but links to and focuses on Valve's lag-compensation which went far further than what quakeworld did.

The quake re-write was Quakeworld[1], which didn't have valve's lag compensation for shooting. The crucial thing that quakeworld did was de-couple client and server for movement. The result was that when you fired you would see your shot locally, but any effects from that such as blood wouldn't be seen until you got a response from the server. You would still have to lead your shots (shoot ahead of moving enemies) in quakeworld to hit on a modem.

Even Half-life (based on the Quake 1 engine) didn't have valve's lag compensation until the half-life 1.1 patch in 2000, two years after half-life was first released.

I played KSP all the way up until 1.0 on a $900 Thinkpad x220, and I was usually getting 15-20 FPS. My old $1.5k-ish gaming PC was getting a nice solid 60fps until I started making launchpad monstrosities. So I find it hard to believe that your new $1.5k PC is actually struggling with KSP under "typical usage," as opposed to some weird corner case in your save or just a really huge moon base.
Slight tangent here, but SV tech often gets criticized for building shit that people don't need (Juicero is a good recent example, but people said it about the iphone when it came out).

The upside of all that ridiculous tech for 22 year old dudes with too much money, is that it brings down the cost to manufacture valuable stuff like this, start hardware startups with good causes, etc. I know this is in a research lab, but there was a similar sonar-for-deaf-people one recently.
A more apt comparison is downloading an image that is still under Copyright (Mona Lisa is public domain, though photos of it may not be), getting a high quality print made at a local print shop, hanging it in your living room, and charging people $5 to come look at it.

Indeed, much like how high MPG ratings also go out the window in those situations.

The internal-explosion-engine approach to solving this problem is usually to stick a much larger fuel tank in the vehicle to provide the added range. The most direct equivalent in the battery-powered approach would be to add more batteries, whether to the vehicle itself (lots of room in the front and back for a bunch of battery packs) or to the trailer.
I only had about 3 years of work experience when I decided to take up my MS, something that also helped my VISA application. There are different MS degrees out there and I chose one with lots of applied subjects rather than theoretical/academic (i.e. design patterns, project management, security, data modeling, analytics, OS fundamentals etc.)

My undergrad was in Economics and Fine Arts (sculpture/drawing) and my plan was to later apply to Architecture School but my programming hobby just seemed like a more wise pursuit.
It's encouraging to see this. It's about time for electric pickup trucks. The price point ($60K) is going to be a problem for work trucks.

They talk about high speed, not low-speed high-torque. They don't say much about how the drivetrain behaves at low speed. Do they have locking differentials, or something that prevents wheel spin? It's a two-motor system. Does the motor control system know how to keep the front and back wheels in sync when traction is bad? You don't have a front-to-back differential; that's a software operation here.
How good is very low speed, high-torque operation? There's no shifting, so you have to do low-speed control in software. With good software and differentials, this could be a good rock-crawler. Can you pull a stump with this thing? They should be able to do this, assuming they're using 3-phase motors like everybody else today.

Providing 120VAC power out is a nice feature. They don't say much about charging. It should carry a charger that can charge from 120/240VAC, so you could charge slowly from any power outlet if you have to. Or another Bollinger. You'd have a big charger at home base, but opportunistic charging is a necessity when you're far from charging stations.

Really needs air bags, and fewer sharp edges in the passenger compartment. Off-road that thing and you'll cut yourself on the door handles. Once they find a real manufacturer, they can clean up the interior.

Does it have a heater? That's a big problem with electrics, especially ones like this with no insulation.

Correct me if I'm horribly misunderstanding [1], but isn't there a more general point here?

A CPU is, at root, a massive Boolean circuit wrapped in a flip-flop and some persisted state. The binary [sequence corresponding to an] opcode is just an input that determines which inputs go where.

Thus, for an n-bit opcode width, there are 2^n valid opcodes. Only m of them will correspond to intelligible, "I might want to use that some day" instructions. (Others, as you note, will be functionally equivalent versions of the m and ignorable as well.)

And so you will have 2^n - m "undocumented opcodes".
