I'm trying to approach suppliers of rental goods and regular consumers at the same time. Not in US right now and really want to start user acquisition in the US . You are right i should start small, but I designed this to start in the west and right now I'm in the east of the world. a mistake?

Thanks for your tips on placeholders, will do.
If you want you can build your own too!

> it is winning mainly through what I would call "micro" excellence

This is partly it. From the interviews with the pros it mostly close to perfect micro, calculating results very well (it knows when it will win the 3 raze spam + 2 autoattacks with 2hp left and thus wins the match etc. for a human that would be hard to calculate) and due to those two it punishes every small mistake the human player makes very hard.

From the actual thinking parts it had to learn creep control (pushing too far just gives free exp/last hits to the other player etc.) and itemization (what counters what, when to get ward etc.)
It seems you didn't read the text. The point the article is making is not about how to use the Facebook and its set of features. I will not try to create a TL;DR in a comment as that would not do justice to the article, but please read it.

It might help you understand why it is "free". You be the judge of if that is good or bad.

In other words, she didn't defend him the way you feel that she should have.

We'll just make a list of all the arguments that are okay to advance in court, so then lawyers know which ones are forbidden.

That seems like a good concept with no far-reaching implications.
> Shouldn't one be aware of situation and local law?

Er, how? Again, there are tons of laws on the books. Are you going to memorize them all?

Further, some of the laws are incredibly vague. For example, did you know that it is arguably illegal to boycott a business in Thailand?

> Section 117 Whoever, instigates or causes a strike, lockout, or concerted cessation of trade or business with any person for the purpose of bringing about any change in the Laws of the Country, coercing the Government or intimidating the public, shall be punished with imprisonment not exceeding seven years or fine not exceeding fourteen thousand Baht, or both.

> Whoever, with the knowledge of the above purpose, takes part or assists in the said strike, lock-out, or concerted cessation of trade or business with any person shall be punished with imprisonment not exceeding three years or fine not exceeding six thousand Baht, or both.

Are you assisting in a "concerted cessation of business" by actively avoiding an establishment you don't agree with? Are you guilty of "taking part" by liking a Facebook post from a group of workers on strike?

Maybe!

Sure, it's unlikely you'd be prosecuted. But as the article shows, it's always an option if they don't like you or need a sacrificial lamb!
Your link does not support the claim that that is how Hitler got into power at all.

Read the book. Don't pass "go", don't collect $400, and spare me more pop history. I lead you to water, now drink or don't.
Look at it the other way. Do you want to join a company that judges its employees based on online presence? And denies entry to employees who lack such presence?
I just realized how little I know about Thailand. It seems I only hear about sex tourism, crazy drug stories, or actors dying mysteriously when it comes to Thailand.

I've been working at Mozilla for a few years now, although this is my first job I'd say this is really great already. One Venn diagram I saw in the past was about choosing your job and the title read: pick two among "interesting", "well-paid" and "ethical". Well, I think you can easily get all three when working at Mozilla, or at least that's my experience of it.

Also, I'd suggest that some people have very high expectations when they start at Mozilla, hoping it works like a perfect anarchist (in the actual political sense) and democratic organization. It's not the case: Mozilla Corporation is a company (duh!). So it's slightly less corporate than the regular public company (e.g. there are no shareholders), but it is still working like a regular company: vertical hierarchy, meritocratic do-ocracy, OKR, you name it. Some people don't like that and tend to be more virulent towards Mozilla than they would be towards any other corporation, hence the bad opinions on Glassdoor, in my opinion.

These two points made me cry. I suffered my very first burn-out due to that and although having a higher degree in computer science and love towards programming this really made me feel like a piece of shit. I have the feeling that it's really hopeless and it wants me to make the change to IT-Consulting instead of software-engineering.
Getting hired directly by Mozilla requires them to have a (minimal) legal presence in your country. If that isn't there, you'll be hired through an intermediary, but that is - as far as I know - possible essentially worldwide.
> you do nothing but speculate about police motives

80 cops "failed to notice" over 1000 violent crimes taking place in a space about the size of a football field, over the course of several hours.

My "speculation" is, by far, the very kindest interpretation.

> So the law was correctly applied.

Let's hope so. Defending her is a crime so we'll never really know.
In my experience, often the product ends up being molded to fit the particular client (it's custom software, after all) and then the cost of altering it for other clients is perceived as too steep. Or you end up with a bunch of similar, incompatible projects.
Legal requirements in a handful of countries make it really hard to hire, but the vast majority of the world is usually fair game.

I'm not sure what the industry standard is wrt adjusting salary based on location, but considering the cost of housing in the Bay area or NYC, it seems fair to pay the folks who live there more than, for example, me who lives in the boonies of Florida.

Amen! Wow I'd like to hug you for these words (libertarian-nerd theory world: right on the money!).

In the end it doesn't matter if it is a leftist or a rightist organization that calls for murder or other criminal or sedituous behaviour: if we can be sure that you use your means of communication to murder people and destroy society, then this has consequences. In Germany I know as well of leftist as rightist groups/activists who were prosecuted on these grounds, so this is by no means something that is just used against nazis.

However: almost all nazi-groups are concerned by this, as violence and hate are constitutive for their movement, while almost all of the leftist groups go uninvolved, since their fundamental interests are compatible with our basic humanitarian values etc.

So, to all you libertarian-nerds: stop whining (and seeming stupid thereby) that it would be sooooo hard to detect speech that is used to murder people, poison the civil society and destroy the democratic form of government. There is nothing valuable about hateful agitation, we can do fine without it. And please stop acting as if it didn't matter: the whole point of the Charlottesville-demonstration was to show that people can be motivated by hateful agitation and propaganda on the internet to go out and intimidate the rest of the world. That people can be motivated to let go of all inhibitions if they see day after day that it is okay to talk about killing jews, homosexuals and afroamericans, that other people kudo them when they deride minorities themselves.

Oh and by the way: go and check your priviledges. It is easy to act as if hateful speech wouldn't matter if you aren't affected by it (or are intelligent and eloquent enough to turn the tables). But: hateful speech harms the people that are affected by it and can make life a living hell for them. I mean: it is obviously the aim of it, isn't it? I deride and intimidate minorities, so that ... they feel derided and intimidated. It's just that simple.
I think there's two paths that seem like they might be worthwhile to pursue:

1. Remove the "imminent" requirement of the incitement restrictions on free speech. Currently, speech is already prohibited if it's an incitement to imminent lawless action and is likely to result in lawless action. I personally don't see all that much reason why "Go kill that specific jew with this bat" is substantially different than "All jews should be killed".

2. Ban specific iconography such as swastikas, white hoods, etc. I don't think frankly this is all that effective, supremacists can easily just take on a new symbol. But there's precedent in other countries and I don't think there's a slippery slope if every icon requires seperate prohibitions.

Note in both of these cases these ban the speech / symbols themselves, and not the groups. I don't think there's any way you can ban an organization altogether in any reasonable way.
We really don't know - but I really think there is a link between gut bacteria and allergies, based on some of the reading I've done, though it's all very early days for research in this area. Our boy has allergies and we've been giving him Water Kefir daily for the last year (we would give Milk Kefir, but he's currently allergic to dairy too :(
His allergies developed after a dose of antibiotics - which likely would have wiped his gut bacteria out, so anything which can help him there is worth trying. The amount he's had now though, it's be shocked if he wasn't better than average in that metric

I personally think that we will look back at the symbiotic relationships that bacteria provide, and be amazed by the way we currently live - with hand sanitisers, and even antibiotic dish soap - plus antibiotics in our meat and water... Sure we will look back on this time in the same way we look at Romans and lead water pipes.
Maybe archive.org would be a better long-term home?
That's all so great. But how does it relate to the article?
I'm sorry for the trouble. i just upgraded the server.
A drastic solution!
I agree. I don't think there was anything too novel in there, but it is a necessary foundation they need before advancing on to the strategy part, or they would just be out-microed there.

I think there a little bit of strategy already in there since it learned about positioning, and not exposing itself too much (which is of course easier without fog of war). The only thing I was excited to see was the creep blocking, but the chance that this would turn out to be hand-trained was pretty high.
What's also obvious is practically no manager is going to go for that.

I can't wait for the day that society figures out that individuals, small groups of people and big groups of people need different rules when it comes to what is and isn't free speech.

A small bakery not putting a confederate flag or a rainbow or a swastiaka on a cake or conversely being compelled by law to do so if requested is different than Google or Cloudflare kicking out a customer for their speech or being legally compelled not to.

I think Cloudlfare was in the right. The Daily Stormer was pretty stupid to say that Cloudflare supported or agreed with them and got kicked out.

You can't avoid the bloat by using an older browser, because the web itself has grown bloated over the years. Modern browsers try their best to make that bloat a little more manageable but despite being written by probably some of the best developers out there they can barely keep up.

- Not knowing what is important and what is not (micromanaging at the expense of team happiness and autonomy).

- Negativity.

- Not changing their minds often enough.

- Generalising past negative experiences and applying them to new situations without properly acknowledging key differences.

- Not recognising the strengths and weaknesses of individual employees - They prefer to just throw more engineers at the problem as though they were rocket fuel.

- Not letting engineers feel a sense of ownership over a part of the product that they're building out of fear that they might leave.

- Not giving raises until it's too late; seriously undervaluing the long-term acquired knowledge of their engineers.

I understand that this is your dogma, yes. And I understand that you want to legitimize the things you want to force on people.

I don't disagree about color, but the way how you can or cannot force people to avoid visibly and openly living their political identity OR their sexual identity is exactly the same, as it is for religion. It's always outside force, forcing you to pretend to be other than you really are.
I feel like Chrome has been getting consistently worse recently. For example there are some pretty rough video-related bugs - at least on macOS - that have been around for at least a year. I guess that's what happens when you're on top, you get complacent. Maybe Firefox has an opening.
We eat yogurt ("кисело мляко") only with a spoon - it's not liquid. We drink ayran ("айрян"), which is yogurt diluted with water yogurt with added salt. There's also kefir ("кефир"), which is liquid, but it is not Bulgarian at all.
I won't go into details, but I moved my personal and business activities (including 8 domains) away from PM after using their top tier service for a year. Let's just say that performance and usability in moderately heavy business use was not acceptable.

And keep in mind that even though your email is encrypted within PM, it is not encrypted on the mail servers of the people you have been communicating with (unless they are also PM accounts). So the primary attraction is largely moot.

I hope they catch up in the areas I think they need improvement, but providing Gmail level service is quite difficult unless you're big and well funded.

My daughter has Celiac disease. It was diagnosed at age 4 when her growth chart showed she did not gain a single pound and grew ¼" from age 3-4. We did a biopsy of her small intestine and it was completely smooth. (Should be almost like velvet) Herblood levels also showed high sensitivity to gluten. We have her on a strict gluten free diet and she has since followed the growth chart perfectly. However she is sensitive enough that she can not eat gluten free food that has been prepared on the same grill/pan/cook or prep surface as food containing gluten. She suffers from nausea and diarrhea when cross contamination occurs. What this means is that I have to cook every meal she eats and bring it with us if we go to restaurants. We live in probably the best time ever for gluten free foods, but this is still a significant hardship for her. She is 7 now and I worry about as she gets older and wants to hang with friends/date/college. Unless things change she cannot just go grab food at a restaurant. Some restaurants have a gluten free protocol (PF changs comes to mind) but this is not common. From what I've read gut bacteria could be a contributor to gluten intolerance. I really hope studies like the peanut allergy encourage other dietary studies and immunotherapy becomes more common. Her having celiac disease is not the end of the world but her quality of life would change drastically if she didn't have to worry about that.
> Is it a sinking ship? Only if we're not up for the challenge of fighting back corporations that want to lock the web being walled gardens. Time will tell, but someone should fight the good fight, even if it's a lost cause.

It definitely is a fight worth fighting. And most people will agree that having several good web-browser options is important.

What bothers me is the strategy that Mozilla used, to try and compete with Chrome by giving Firefox users a browser that looks like, and feeling like Chrome.

I wouldn't want to work for an organisation who makes such ill-advised choices.

I've been at Mozilla for ~11 years, worked from home for many years, now splitting my time between the Berlin office and home. I feel good about the work I do and don't intend to change jobs anytime soon.

There have been some leadership / management issues but it's not all bad. Admittedly some people (e.g. those working on Firefox OS) were effected more than others.
I did and I met the reaction and was forced to deal with it. Why it should be different for someone else?
In my opinion, we need simply to continue to build vessels to weather all we can encounter, on this planet on others, i.e. yes please, sign me up for the mother ship(s).
Yes, but it all depends on your ability and capability to strain yourself beyond normal, just for the short duration compare to the benefits in the long run.
>Some women DO use sex to control men.

I did not say that there are no women who use sex to control men. I said that it is not possible to control someone merely by offering them sex. It requires the cooperation of the person who is being offered sex. This is in stark contrast to the kind of power older men often have over younger women.

>And the idea that we can just decide to switch lust on and off is ridiculous.

Who said anything about switching lust off? All you have to do is decline the offer, which is eminently possible.

This is likely correct - it's a common mistake in English on both sides of the Atlantic, and you are right that it should be "well". My clients from the UK use it about as frequently as my US clients.
It's only recommended temporarily, until the issues get ironed out. It doesn't make it THE first-class F# IDE.
This is not a good solution. It's not about keeping in touch, it's also a way to send news to other people.
I live in the US but most of my family is in Europe, how do you want me to post a picture of my daughter so that all my family views it? By texting it (which I can't really right now because Google Voice doesn't support international texting), it would require me to send the picture to at least 20 people who I think would be interested in it.

Texting and calling is mostly a 1 to 1 relationship. Which is good to wish happy birthday or such. But it sucks to actually update people about news, post pictures.

Now I could potentially open a blog, but then again a lot of the people checking my Facebook profile aren't really that into tech. I have my 97 years old grandfather that checks Facebook because we taught him how to. If I tell him to go this blog to check my news, to another blog to check my sisters news, etc... It will become very difficult.

I think Facebook is a great platform, but over the years it filled up with too many ads. They are attempting too much to maximize profit, which is a crappy goal. If I would control Facebook, I would reduce the ads to a minimum survivable. And then I would offer a premium option with no ads.
I find it difficult to believe that it's just a coincidence that most of these monuments were erected during the eras of Jim Crow, and then the heyday of the KKK, and later still during the Civil Rights era.
In every case the companies they were trying to build up failed. Being vested owners, they lost money, and time.
I think a lot of it is you tend to only optimise as much as you need to. When the average user only has 4MB of memory, you're going to spend a lot of time optimising image size for example. When you can assume 4GB of memory, you're going to put that time into other places as the effort would be very difficult to justify.

Wouldn't your users appreciate more features than optimisations most of them aren't going to notice? For the same block of time today compared to decades ago, you're going to be creating an app that uses more memory and CPU but has a lot more features. Developer time isn't free and needs to be justified.

I used to write DOS apps for 66MHz PCs and you'd spend an enormous amount of time optimising memory and CPU usage. This was similar for the initial batch of Android phones as well as you didn't get a lot of resources (e.g. loading a large image into memory would crash the app). Now I can create more features in way less time and rarely have to think about optimisations unless dealing with a lot of data.

I think expecting every software developer to release software that uses the absolute minimum amount of CPU and memory possible is completely unrealistic. The people commenting that developers don't know how to write optimised code anymore have different priorities to a typical business. I know how to make low level optimisations and have even resorted to assembly in the past but I'm only going to these lengths when it's absolutely required.

For commercial projects, it doesn't make any business sense to optimise more than is needed even if that makes software developers squirm.
