This is an emulator. I assume they don't have the option of modifying the games to include high level optimizations like that.
Ask questions that a 5th grader could answer. The level does not hove too be that high for it to be effective.

Or... just ask science questions: "Is planet Earth flat?".
My advice: Publish on your own domain, syndicate to Medium (and LinkedIn, and whatever) shortly after.

Always import the story[1] so that Medium adds a rel="canonical" link, and link back to the canonical version (e.g. "Originally published at XXX" in the text of the story itself.

Why not add the patcher reward? He who rants out the gamble-ability of a system, reaps all the rewards of his fellow follow up loophole sneakers for patching?
He/She who steps to late up and trys to milk a loophole/perverse incentive pays.
One use case that's often regrettable is software targeted at non-tech people. I made a free plug in for a shopping cart platform. Lots of happy users, but the occasional person ranting about how it doesn't work for them, and is expecting free troubleshooting and bug fixes on their schedule. A couple spinning into insults and swearing when the answer is "sorry, but I'm unable to help, maybe try a similar plugin from someone else".
Events is enough to keep people using it, though.

Sometimes I think that the only features FB uses internally are events and groups. They're the only parts of the site that do what you want them to do well and intuitively.
I'm not in the US but that is exactly how it happened to me. Boss thought my idea was his because I'm his employee. Lawyers thought the same.
I can concur that this is a problem.

I had a medium blog which is now dead and I moved my stuff to a private domain which I had for decades.

The medium blog still ranks higher in google searches than my own domain.
The problem with not taking Musk seriously is that his track records shows you can, indeed, take him seriously.

His company made a rocket capable of re-entry ffs

Show HN: Min programming language
Rust GLSL crate
Voice:

- hands free

- quicker for short queries ("set a timer for 5 minutes")

- quicker when precision is not necessary (voice to text can be quicker than typing)

- doesn't require extra hardware

- innate/intuitive skill, doesn't need to be learned/practiced

- no need to point + click. Like terminal, input what you need and go directly there

- accessibility is 100x better (kids, elderly, disabled)
>BTW this article reminded me of a great show that Last Week Tonight did...

Last Week Tonight is one of the most blatant examples of media-driven manipulation on the air today.
To be fair, it probably doesn't make sense for a dental surgeon to pull his own teeth either.
Mainly two reasons I think:

1. There are no mobile wallets, multisig or hardware wallets. Now all of these are in the works and hopefully ready this year.

2. Very little effort has been spent on marketing compared to other coins (for example Dash). The biggest reason is that Monero is community funded and it's not possible to use a share of the developers share of coins, as there isn't one. This is compared to the marketing in Dash which has been fueled by the instamine. Focus has instead been placed on developing the fundamentals.

In fact it's a bit surprising that Monero has had the popularity it has. The official GUI was only released relatively recently and before then you were sort of forced to use the command line client.
Google will never figure out how to do social apps well. They have failed repeatedly to make anything resembling a good social platform, and the one that came anywhere close (Google Chat), they killed and replaced with a succession of moribund, inferior replacements which are all being killed off in succession. (Hangouts is dead within a year, supposedly; Allo and Duo are not doing well either, and there's a totally new one coming.)
Donations from companies are notoriously difficult to push through for any but the smallest/newest companies. Any more established ones tend to have rules and bureaucracy built up around the process of making donations (if they do at all), and individuals within usually have little direct influence.

Paying license fees for tools or software, on the other hand, is commonplace enough that small amounts are usually at a manager's discretion with little oversight. Offering to send an invoice for a 'license' that doesn't offer any additional benefits may be a way to simplify things for companies like this that want to pay to support the open source they use.
Each configuration has a Unique ID, and they discuss building up a list of all the required UIDs beforehand:

> Users refer to this as "sharing shaders" and in theory if users shared UID files, they could compile shaders ahead of time and not encounter stuttering.

They list a few reasons why they didn't go for this, but the tl;dr is that it is hard to build a complete list, so many users in many games would still see stuttering.
Japan's maglev project is much more impressive than Hyperloop. Japan is building a maglev from Tokyo to Nagoya and Osaka. 438km in 67 minutes. The first 42km section is already running. The trainsets work. Tourists can ride it.
I might be an odd one. I lease an office and am working by myself there. So I really miss noise. I can't work without turning on some podcast or a twitch channel in the background.
Even with your wording, it doesn't seem that bad. Shouldn't the reader understand the POV of the author? Even if - or especially if - one considers the author's position as wrong or evil?
I believe it's by design. They want their brand "medium.com" visible. They don't want to become a commodity blog hosting.
I think the reason is that music subscription services took off in last 2-3 years massively, and globally. Apple Music expanded to a good number of nations, so did Spotify and others. And so it has also become very easy for creators to put their music on those services. There are SaaS apps that put unlimited music on all platforms for artists for as little as $20 a year.

You don't need to partner with record label any more to be on iTunes, Apple Music, Pandora, Google Play, Spotify, etc. You need $20 a year. The goliath that SoundCloud was fighting killed itself.

As a creator, I know there are 10x more people listening on Apple and Spotify. There is simply very less reason to upload on SoundCloud except for community. And it is the community that they managed to piss off by partnering with the labels.
Do you have a login? Or why would you need SSL on a static page?
City parks wouldn't be economically beneficial, who would pay to go to a city park? Could that really justify the land use.

However the fact those parks are there does make life better.

Measuring that though is tricky. How much is a child's laugh worth?
I usually just create a VM from a DO template and that's it, no NGINX stuff (although it's very easy, NGINX has good documentation and sane and working default configuration).
Orwell Game – Gameplay Episode 1
Average says nothing about how often you'd expect to take more than 800 attempts or more unlock, which I guess is 199/999 or one in five times
https://www.tesla.com/sites/default/files/blog_attachments/h...:

"Sealed capsules carrying 28 passengers each that travel along the interior of the tube depart on average every 2 minutes from Los Angeles or San Francisco (up to every 30 seconds during peak usage hours)"

So, that's 28/pod, not 12. At 30 second intervals, that would be 56 passengers/minute or 3360/hour.

For trains, we have (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Route_capacity#Route_capacitie...):

"Tram and light rail systems have in theory very high route capacities, but in practice route capacities of 12 trains per hour is a practical upper limit. For High Speed Rail a route capacity of up to 18 trains per hour may be possible. The Punggol metro line in Singapore uses a moving block system to achieve a headway of 90 seconds, so the route capacity is 40 trains per hour."

So, let's take 12 trains an hour. Then, each one would have to carry 280 passengers to be on par with the maximum mentioned by Musk. That's ballpark what https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/R160_(New_York_City_Subway_car... delivers, but about a third of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/London_Underground_2009_Stock.

So, I think an optimistic view would say you need two hyperloop tubes to get capacity of a single subway rail line (optimistic because it rounds down train capacity, and accepts Musk's claim of 120 pods/hour)

High-speed train may be different, though. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SNCF_TGV_Sud-Est has a capacity of 350, and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acela_Express#First-generation... about 300, both ballpark the top of Musk's claim.

On the other hand, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Rail_Class_374, used on Eurostar, has 900 seats. So, I guess TGV and Acela use multiple carriages in a single train. That, again, would mean you need two hyperloop tubes for one train.

may I ask which theme you use? it looks very nice..
> The problem ... isn't ... that the Hyper-loop won't work.

Actually, that is the problem. The thermal expansion problem has not yet been solved, or even seriously addressed. Hyperloop proponents are completely ignoring it, giddily betting that a solution will somehow magically present itself because technological optimism always wins. Well, no, it doesn't. The only thing that always wins is the laws of physics.
Palantir: the ‘special ops’ tech giant that wields as much power as Google
haha, ok i can see getting those two confused, but it is a rather large confusion.
In most jurisdictions, you'd have a very hard time prosecuting this as theft. The bikes are often left tipped over on the sidewalk, here and there around town. At most, under the law, you are probably "borrowing without permission." People (even homeless people) don't usually keep the bikes, they just dump them off somewhere in Mountain View or Sunnyvale, where either someone else picks them up and rides them or someone calls Google to come get them.
Stop using coinbase then? They double your transaction fee and take half as revenue.
You're going to need 10 watts to light even a tiny room with a single bulb. You can run a raspberry Pi (not even really designed to be low power) on half of that.

If your house is so small you only need one bulb per room and has a couple of rooms (i.e., you live in an apartment), where the light is fove feet from you, nobody is going to market a product for that.

As the other responder said, you're still in for at a minimum 20 watts in a room for an actual house. Further, you pay for those watts again if there is AC (so more like 25-30 watts), the lights might not all be tied to the light switch, and they may not all be rooms you frequent. And then add on that rooms you don't frequent may still have incandescent bulbs in them because you stopped, like me, after replacing 20 or 30 bulbs and you're replacing the rest as they burn out.
It's not a cultural difference, it a word that has multiple meanings, Why is this surprising?
Are you sure you're not blocking scripts? A random Fox News story showed me plenty of comments: http://www.foxnews.com/world/2017/07/30/us-allies-ready-to-u...

There's a lot that goes on behind the scenes.

You need sales people to sell ads, designers to build out the creatives (assuming the company you sold ads for doesn't have media that fits with your platform). Then you need account executives to manage the account. Then you need a billing department that collects the money. Then you need engineering to build out your ad serving abilities.

For IT you have the core that builds what some here have called a "shitty" UI. Then you have people working on all kinds of invisible things like developer tools to support releases. People working on recommendation engines. People working on instrumenting data and metrics for business analysts.

Then you have people who hand-curate music for each of the markets and local tastes that Spotify operates in. Then you need people to manage these people... Etc.
Interesting idea about reverting it. I wonder how/if it could work in context of remote work - with focus on hire-via-calendar availability. My feeling is that it could work very well with getting things done in budget and making developers happy salary wise at the same time if done properly.

Hate the game, not the player.
Ok... a bunch of things in here.

One is investment into speculative vs proven ideas. I don't have a single/principled answer to that. Another is subsidization, though that is fairly common (almost universal) in transport . A third is monopoly. Again, almost unavoidable in transport.

I guess if you put the last two together, publicly subsidized private monopoly than you get to some "political-industrial complex" issues. If you object to these arrangement entirely in principle, than that's effectively an objection to privately built/run transport infrastructure in general. Public only. That's not that unusual a position.

I think that's fine, but I still don't see the hostility towards the idea of hyperloop or Elon Musk. Hyperloop is a concept/design. You could build it without Musk. You could build it without private money.
Honestly, I'm not sure everyone in the area even knows they belong to Google. Two or three of my co-workers (not at Google) show up on them for work every morning, and ride them back to the light rail every evening. I expect they just think they are community free bikes ...
Yeah, and 10 years ago one could at least flame back at unpleasant people and freeloaders, but now everyone is expected to be a good silent work horse on GitHub with no firm opinions at all.

Open source is no longer worth the trouble.
In discussions of supply and demand, something that isn't often discussed is the real, physical limits of supply creation in terms of construction time, costs, manpower and such. Demand is more flexible.

This reality is also frequently ignored in the housing conversation when people advocate the solution to high prices is to simply add more supply, as if it's a given that supply could be created fast enough to overtake demand. I find that no one really ever does the work, taking into account the friction of real life on supply creation, to figure out if that's likely to be the case.

I'd consider HN to be a news source, I typically check the comments on articles first. I'd say I've found this to be true.
You also make Caddy, right? I've been impressed by how you encourage donations to that project. The copy on the caddy site is totally different from nearly all other OSS that asks for donations, very well done.

Does it work? Do Caddy donations and support contracts cover your bills?

not sure about your particular case

but a problem that i run into often as a user of open source software is that in many cases the readme or other promotional material makes generous claims about quality or performance that the softwares fail to live up to. and in those cases i'm quick to bash the authors

open source doesn't excuse false advertising
I live in a ruralish area--20 minute drive from the local university, but I'm surrounded by farms. I like the solitude and the space. I can't see any of my neighbors--the closest I get to that is seeing their utility pole light through the trees in the fall/winter. For the same price/month as a 1-bedroom, 1-car garage condo in town, I get a 3-bedroom house + drive-in basement + pole barn. Couldn't care less about the house, but the space in the basement is nice for bigger projects. I see a lot of folks out this way with backyard shops too.

I keep a few chickens; if I wanted I could have a huge garden too. Plenty of people keep cows, horses, chickens, etc.

Power is through a co-op; in my experience it's both cheaper and more reliable than the in-town utilities. Well water tastes good and works as long as I have power.

Internet I get through a WISP, it's not fast nor cheap but it's better than satellite (and, at the time, cell service). I did put up a 50' tower for that, which was quite an adventure.

I'm a grad student; the university is perhaps the biggest employer in the area but there are still some factory jobs and also some commercial science jobs in the area. My landlord used to be the butcher and farmed/raised cattle in his 'spare' time. Sadly, there's significantly fewer local businesses in the area than there were a decade or two ago, according to folks who have been here that long.
Yes I am well aware but the rest of the community didn't get the memo

I released an open-source universal cryptocurrency banking website in 2013 called "Safewallet". It has decent google ranking for SEO terms related to open-source crypto banking.

Every time the price of Bitcoin goes up I start getting emails from wantrepreneurs asking me to essentially work for them without pay because they "have a great idea" and "just need a little help getting the software working". During Bitcoin mania phases ( like now ) I'll get 2-3 of these emails a month.

Too many stories to list. Everything ranging from offers of $2,000 to build a "BitStamp clone" or the time I was suppose to be having a sales call with the CEO and instead was greeted by their lead engineer with an endless list of questions on how they could build their own cryptocurrency bank. CEO got real nasty when I politely informed him they would have to pay me for my expert advice.

They all want something for nothing and get an attitude when I tell them I'm not going to build them their own cryptocurrency bank for free or for minimal pay.

Regret spending so much time on something which has only brought me grief.

Wikipedia says: "Google Maps began as a C++ desktop program designed by Lars and Jens Eilstrup Rasmussen at Where 2 Technologies. In October 2004, the company was acquired by Google, which converted it into a web application."
very interesting point and analysis!
If you want to talk about being disgusted, I'm disgusted by your suggestion that we create a concentration camp for the homeless. If that makes me "banal" then so be it.
I think the reference to "pre-modern" is referring to your (over-)confidence in having realized something very simple, simple enough that a 10 paragraph post on HackerNews can possibly put things straight, and then the arrogance in assuming that hundreds if not thousands of climate researchers are, consciously or unconsciously, overlooking these very simple things.

If a question of research can indeed be settled in a 10 paragraph post on HackerNews, then that question is, in a sense, pre-modern, out of its simplicity alone.

In the modern world: For each of your paragraphs, I can be almost sure to find a long trail of researchers having carefully evaluated it. The story is never as simple as you make it out to be. If anything, your over-confidence sets off my anti-vaxxer flat-earther alarm. But show me sources and I'll read them (then for each of those I can go and find the 10 papers proving those wrong, then the 10 papers proving those papers wrong again; and so on...). In the modern world, the story is never as simple as you make it out to be.

PS: Your concrete arguments is the least interesting part of what you write. The interesting part is that you think something is simple enough that you should be able to convince us about it in a HackerNews post, yet IPCC is either consciously or subsconsciously overlooking it. You must be aware that this is basically a conspiracy theory (that doesn't make it false of course, it is possible for a conspiracy theory to be correct).

I bring you the Wikipedia page for Heartland institute to show how oil is funding the sceptics; also it is deeply human to want to believe there is no disaster coming. Do you on your side have anything concrete for why so many climate researchers today are sacrificing their integrity?
Commenting on articles is a terrible method of interaction. Anti-spam is hard, and spammers always win. Trolls always win. Comments rarely add much to the discussion from the article, and they're often hard to follow. There's no reason to leave a comment saying "great post!". It's spam. It's unnecessary.

Blogs are a wholly inappropriate place for back-and-forth discourse to happen simply because if I have a blog, it's my blog. It's not a discussion board. I inherently have the advantage, I control the conversation, and it's all about me. I have the ability to delete comments I disagree with. That's not discourse, that's an echo chamber.

I completely agree with Medium. Just because blog posts have historically had comments doesn't mean it's the right choice. The minute people accepted "pingbacks" as a valid form of comment was the moment comments died. V!AGR@ and P3N15 type spam sealed the deal.
can you imagine a not-quite-open-source license that would give you the best of both worlds ?

I hate reaction posts in comments section. I see this mostly on reddit with posts simply saying "I agree" or "well said" and if your lucky quoting some interesting part of the article. I get the feeling these are up voted by people that just want the important quotes to save time and those that agree so much they want to drown out other conversation. Intended or not these comments kill all conversation. They add absolutely nothing to the discussion and leave no room for more discussion.

If Medium is successful in separating reactions from actual content then I have to side with them. The fact is most discussion happens on reddit and HN so there's little real loss of intelligent discussion.

> Also, i think its unfair to judge people on their knowledge about computing when they are not in the computing field.

Yes but you wouldn't call people who don't know how the gearbox works "mechanical native" or something like that just because they grew up with cars. You acknowledge that there are people like mechanics who know that stuff because they learned it, and other people who do not because they did not learn it. It has nothing to do with generations and so on.
