The trouble with trying to play any of those games, after having played Eve, is that none of them measure up. :/

Longinius Spear once quoted Ernest Hemmingway, in a presentation at Eve: Vegas, "There is no hunting like the hunting of man, and those who have hunted armed men long enough and liked it, never care for anything else thereafter."

Firbase just changed from unlimited to 100k
I was just prompted (forced) to agree the new Firebase terms.
Looked at the current pay as you go plan (Blaze) Firebase allows "only" 100k Connections/instance vs unlimited.

Not quite sure what that means. Particularly what is an "instance" on Firebase. Isn't the whole purpose of Firebase to hide things like instances from us?
I'm not seeing how I can use some generic tree class without adding code for each Node subclass, which is exactly what I'm trying to avoid.

At the least, I'd have to populate the children list of that class (which is more or less what children() would have done). The identity of each child (what it represents), such as "condition of a while statement" or "body of the else part of an if statement" must be preserved.

Also, the issue with methods really isn't, because these classes are really POJOs. Getters and methods inherited from Object is pretty much all they have, so I'm not worried about accidentally capturing a method that is not a getter.

And well, this make reflection calls faster by replacing them (probably) with the equivalent plain code.

Yes.......are you saying there are no such ties?

Your tone implies "as if the US government would EVER do something like that". We're the GOOD GUYS.
I think some sarcastic slow clapping is appropriate here.
> This is demonstrably not true; it just requires the victim to be a member of a protected class.

What's a protected class?

What I mean is: I'm from Italy, Europe, what is a protected class here may not be a protected class where Cloudflare operates.

The only protected classes are those that Cloudflare decided are protected.

You can't force them to publish for example nazi propaganda because it comes from a disabled person.
thanks to all, and the heads up, I guess I don't expect 100% objective reporting in the real world either ;)
The way I see it, they abused their position in the CSM for in game advantages. When one random player betrays another, that's fine. This wouldn't have happened if they weren't on the CSM though, which is something out of game. They should be permanently banned from both the game and their CSM positions instead of being made heroes.
I'm a little annoyed as well. There wasn't a single half-German, half-Filipino, green-eyed, left-handed, veteran (hGhFGeLhV) on stage at all. We had zero minutes of representation.

Does Apple even care about us hGhFGeLhVs?
Thus begins the softwar in which software trust runs on national boundaries and the reciprocal bans will drop into place everywhere.
We are not talking about cutting the internet connection, we are talking about terms of service.

Don't use Cloudflare, host your server behind your DSL line and write whatever you want.
I think you're confused about the "heterogeneous tree" parts. All implementation of Node have different children, held in different fields with different names, and varying in numbers. This can't be simplified by inheritance, you need to write an implementation per class.
"waving for someone else to go first at a turn"

Ever since I heard of people getting blame for accidents, since they were effectively directing traffic (which only the police are allowed to do here), I've stopped waving people to go ahead and similar gestures, instead I'll give them space and wait for them to act of their own accord.

I've also stopped acting on other people's waves and gestures, I check for myself that everything is clear before I proceed.

Luckily I haven't witnessed an accident like this myself, but I know of people who've been T-boned on multi-lane streets because they were waved ahead by a guy in one lane, but someone came in another lane and couldn't see the turning car.

Mainstream tech companies don't want to be accused of fraud, or even seen to be somehow connected with fraud. Naturally they want to avoid ICOs, that instantly undermines their credibility.

I talked to a guy who runs a successful ICO prepararion consulting, just told him 'i am a successful developer who did these and those things, is there a way to partner with you to make some leverage out of it?' and he told me that there is nothing technical in what they do, that is a machine to make money out of money, like, you bring in $150-$1000K and make $5-$10M on ICO with minimal effort and luck needed, that's it. No programming needed, they copy-paste all the minimal technical stuff needed. They never ask 'founders' if they have any programming backgrounds or if they actually plan to build anything, just to avoid embarrassment as everyone kinda knows they aren't. More, usually they aren't even under their real names, which is sensible for a criminal.

Everything blockchain-related is at best a Ponzi scheme and usually, outright fraud, except the structures that provide technical means for these frauds, like Ethereum itself.

And yes, these events make me feel that the next financial meltdown is coming. There is already too much too easy money around. If blockchain was ready in 2009, that just couldn't happen.

Been to Fanfest, met Mittens (and Vile Rat, RIP :()

For those not aware, Vile Rat, AKA Sean Smith [0], was one of the 4 Americans killed by terrorists in Benghazi, Libya on 09/11/2012.

This is an excerpt from a Kotaku piece on him (which has some good stories about his EVE exploits as well as real life stories [1]):

For the State Department, he was an Information Management Officer. He was an expert IT guy who signed up for postings in places both safe and dangerous. He was in Pretoria and Baghdad, Montreal and The Hague and then—for what was only supposed to be a few weeks—Benghazi, Libya. It is in that last place where he and three other Americans, including the U.S. ambassador to that country, were killed on September 11, 2012, by anti-American militants. It's there that his story was cut too short.

In Eve, Sean briefly was in the top echelon of the game's player-run government. His influence in the game actually grew for more than half a decade. He rose from ordinary player to master spy to diplomat for the mighty GoonSwarm alliance. He toppled rivals with the soft nudge of verbal persuasion. He helped his alliance win a war among player alliances that raged for three years. He even made peace with the Russians.

Again, there's a lot more about him in that Kotaku piece [1]. This [2] piece in Forbes might be worth a look too, to see his diplomatic skills being put to use on reddit (EVE-related).

I mainly play DOTA these days. In a sense you aren't wrong. There's a lot more to the game than PvP though.

If you want the kind of rigid corp structure EVE offers but in a high-action game, I'd say look at some of the dedicated ArmA groups; particularly ShackTac.

The combat side of EVE is best played as more of a situation room. Sit and monitor comms and see what's going on over a wide area of space (read a book or do something engaging while you do this), then plan a surgical strike, execute and get out.
Majority of revenue is coming from ads.

If Google were taxed for each ad income based on the country of where the ad buyer is located, they couldn't manipulate it as easily. Also clients wouldn't be inclined to set up shop in tax havens, because why would they? It's not their problem.

I'm not sure this is a good solution, it might also be possible to game it, but at least that would make sense from the perspective of assigning benefit to a territory: if a myriad small businesses in, say, France, need Google ads, why not tax Google in France for that amount? It is in a sense Google's access to French market that we are taxing.

Could that work?
There is a risk here that one might trick themselves into believing they've made good progress in developing an idea, when if they had attempted to write it down in some detail, the fuzziness of our internal thought processes would be revealed and the perceived rigor of the idea would be revealed as somewhat illusory.

I've found this phenomenon to reveal itself even more explicitly when attempting to explain some of my more complex thoughts in detail to others.

I think the benefit you are aiming for can be achieved by making an effort to revisit prior ideas with fresh perspectives and from different angles, and then later comparing and contrasting the different attempts.
Yea, exactly. But with effective regulation, we can get closer to perfect competition, or at least remedy the market failures that are inevitable.

To go on a bit of a rant--ufortunately it appears the trend is going the other way with Big Gov allied with Big Business, out of control banking empires and MIC, made possible by never-ending low interest rates and easy money policies from the Fed that mask it all.

Don't belive me? Real cost of living has increased to where 2 incomes are required for many to just keep their heads above water to afford what their parents had, despite more education and working longer hours. We have never ending wars, 26,000 bombs dropped last year, and the longest war in history and it was never even approved by congress. Our most popular media outlets tell us we need this so we have jobs[1].

I haven't said it is complicated. I complained that it takes time (aka "takes a little bit of work"). And most of that work is "try color after color and width size after width size and it still looks ugly while I don't know really why". Specifically, if I knew how to make things look nice, I would likely do different job then tech. And I don't really care about researching tons of schemes and about futuristic artistic whatever either.

What windows and mac do is that you open new laptop and everything looks alright. After few weeks, I change the wallpaper and I am happy. That is zero "make it nice" work.
This is absolutely 100% true.

Edit: Actually I prefer this response:
I think how true an EVE player finds the above statement is a good indicator of how effectively they played the game to begin with.
Eve is all about the meta-game, real world espionage and shenanigans often happens. Its all unofficial but its kind of the unique selling point of Eve really.

What are the key reasons someone should go to Steem rather than to some existing social platform? Steem will likely be slower and the barriers to contribute will likely be higher.

Secondly, do you think it is a good basis for building communities if everything is associated with monetary rewards? Sites like Reddit are exactly enjoyable because, most of the time, reward is only imaginary, just like in real-world gatherings of people: It is about having a good time rather than about an exchange of money.

Thirdly, how do you ensure that the things people post on Steem are their own work, especially if the data is hosted elsewhere, e.g. on YouTube. There will probably be massive, irreversible thefts of intellectual property (a.k.a. reposters, but with actual money involved). Conversely, a lot of valuable content comes actually from reposting and "karma theft" (which is what linking e.g. a blog article from someone else actually is).

Fourthly, how do you avoid fraud as for example often found on Kickstarter? Kickstarter actually has a review process and even they are not fully equipped for it. I am not seeing reliable moderation ever scale enough such that it can withstand the likely immense fraudulent interests due to the monetary incentives.

CSM positions do not appear to have been abused. Not sure where you're getting this information. The fact that Judge was a CSM member is almost tangential to the whole story.
There are some ways to improve VM performance. You could try to pre-create the disk volume instead of leaving it dynamic as it usually is, attach a partition directly, or move it to a different disk that'll not interfere with your other apps (my bigger home box has system and apps on one disk, VM volumes and network shares on another). If you do that, your performance hit for disk IO will be very close to zero. A modern CPU will usually not eat up more than 3% per virtualisation layer (at least under KVM). Beyond that, you can assign more cores to the virtual machine and see how it goes. Even a relatively humble i7 laptop has enough power to run Visual Studio with dignity for all but the craziest projects.

If we are talking about a beefy Xeon E5 workstation with 64 gigs of memory, you'll probably be able to assign more resources to the Windows VM than Visual Studio knows how to deal with.
I'm not sure what the point you're making is. The country's corporate tax rate was only reduced to 12.5% in the late '90s. Before that, it was comparable to other that of other EU nations. The reduction in the rate, along with other factors, helped the economy to grow over the next 15 years, to the point where the country became a net contributor. It would have happened well before 2014 had the Irish economy not been reeling from the effects of the 2008 crash.

But no, go ahead and make your product more difficult for everyone to pay for. I'm sure that'll work out great.

>Everything blockchain-related is at best a Ponzi scheme and usually, outright fraud, except the structures that provide technical means for these frauds, like Ethereum itself.

Oh please. Quit your whining. Yes, there are criminals and fraudsters in crypto trying to squeeze money and run since it's not regulated, but "everything blockchain-related is at best a Ponzi-scheme"?? That's like saying facebook stock is a Ponzi scheme because Peter Thiel got it 100,000x less in price than the people who bought it today on the exchange.
That's simply not true, eventually you'll realize it's all a big con and it really is far more enjoyable playing those other games.

Personally I think that if you believe that you're still in the delusion phase where you're projecting your fantasy of what playing Eve should be like, compared to what playing Eve is actually like. That fantasy lasted a long time for me, like 3/4 years.

In reality battles are copying someone's prescribed fit, click a direction to align, letting your squad leader warp you. Eventually you might actually get a fight, which consists entirely of clicking the first name on an alphabetically sorted list and pressing F1. There's no skill, only the adrenaline rush of losing something you spent 2 weeks grinding for.

And don't forget, you spend 2 hours or even days between each of these battles waiting to even start the fight.

The big contradiction in Eve is that the thrill comes from permadeath, but it's only a thrill because the grinding is onerous. If everyone had infinite isk, no-one would play it because the fundamental combat gameplay is super boring.
I think it is not massively disingenuous to use the newest data available. I did not find much better figures for 2015 or 2016. Another source suggests that Ireland has been net contributor since 2013 and continued so in 2015.
http://www.thejournal.ie/ireland-financial-gain-from-eu-fran...

It is true that Ireland has been a huge net receiver from EU for a long time. Now that it becomes a net contributor, I suppose we could call that "development". And perhaps this shows that Irish tax policies do increase its economic activities.
Ask HN: Why isn't there a modern MS Access clone?
HN, this is something that I've always been interested in: Why isn't there a modern piece of software akin to Microsoft’s Access? I know there are plenty of issues in scaling these kind of systems, and that these kind of platforms can feel clunky and unwieldy but I still find it surprising that there isn’t a simple platform for creating CRUD apps. It doesn’t seem like an unachievable goal to me: you need the ability to create forms, design database tables, manage user permissions, manage data workflow (ie: send an sms if <condition>, seek approval from <user role> for <action>), and view/search data. I’m certain these features would be useful for all kinds of business scenarios where building, maintaining, and hosting a custom solution isn’t worthwhile, or would be unideal compared to using a standardised tool. Are there tools in this space that I’m missing? If not, why isn’t this being pursued? Eagerly looking forward to your thoughts.
Introduction to category theory via haskell, and not learning the right areas of abstract algebra?

It's plausible to even do a degree in mathematics and never encounter the name 'monoid' - you'll obviously encounter the structure, but my abstract algebra classes just skipped ahead to groups, and then to rings and modules, instead of spending any time on the simpler structures.

Other times, like when studying formal languages, because regular languages are a monoid, the structure is introduced, via noting that you have an empty language and a method to combine any two languages, but not given the name monoid.

So you come across haskell, and it gives a name to things like monoids, monads, functors, and so on, and says that monads and functors come from category theory, and it seems like a valid inference to say that monoids also come from category theory.
