Not specifically about DRM, but just their general attitude towards transparency and implementability. Making standards non-public (as in, for anyone to look at on the web for free) is a pretty anti-consumer thing to do, as is creating standards that include patented technology. The usefulness of standards for the consumer is interoperability. Both of those things actively prevent interoperability.
I think I mentioned they were made up numbers, they were illustrative :-) not definitive. The actual numbers are probably in the treaty documents somewhere.

As for the relative cost of building a missile silo or reactivating a SAC base, I'd be interested in how you get to the notion that building a missile base would be less expensive. They were pretty complex facilities, and there are some great videos on youtube about them. An airbase is a bunch of asphalt spread out, a bunker to hold munitions, and a barracks to hold the pilots. I will be the first person to say I have not built (or even participated in building) either kind of facility but when I imagine how I might build one or the other, the fact that the SAC base is all above ground makes me believe that it would be cheaper to build. Could totally be wrong on that of course.

> Someone should have asked the kid what they meant by their question.

I honestly think that this answer values the children's point of view more than the article's urge to not ignore them by launching into theses on the deep impossibility of what a missing integer might mean to the universe.

All the adults in the article interpreted the question to mean 'what if six things couldn't exist?' and proceeded to formulate complex mathematical implications.

None of the adults in the story asked, "what do you mean"? And none of the adults said "maybe 3 plus 3 would be 7", or maybe "7 could be pronounced 'six'", or what if the kid was asking about one-handed people after hearing about ancient kings who cut hands off of rule breakers, and was really just wondering in kid style whether it'd be better if we have a base 5 number system instead of base 10.

Well, if you have reachable public IPs, you can just SCP. Without reachable public IPs, you can setup Tor onions and OnionCat on both devices, and then SCP via OnionCat. Once you put the OnionCat /48 IPv6 in your hosts files, you just use hostnames.
SAR generally relies on assumptions that your target is not changing. I question how well it would work in a complicated environment like a road scene. In my opinion, the single-shot nature of LIDAR is more robust. But its possible that SAR techniques have advanced since my work in it 3 years ago.
In this case, the primary category for Intercom is `User onboarding and Engagement` which can be broken down separately to `User Onboarding` and `In-app Support` or `In-app Chat`. That will suddenly spike up the sanity of both categories (maybe we can even normalize further - siftery has more than 700 categories/tags, a first for any such platform).

Categorisation of a data set like this can be non-trivial and will false positives. We can cherry-pick such a false positive and ignore all the actual positives. That said, thanks for this feedback - this is exactly what is needed to improve status quo. We are on it and will report back in a few hours with the category split I suggested in the previous paragraph. Do let me know if you think it can be broken down into a different type of granularity?

Zelda BOTW has climb-anywhere gameplay, though, so it doesn't need landscape contrast to support gameplay purposes. Contrast that to something like Horizon Zero Dawn where you need the harsh ledge contrast on rock faces to distinguish between walls you can climb on and those you cannot.

Similarly combat in BOTW happens up close, you don't actually need to distinguish things at range. This is not generally true, especially for the other titles you're comparing BOTW against. BOTW also has problematic cases such as this: https://static.gamespot.com/uploads/scale_super/1552/1552458... That rock face is horrible. Totally washed out in a highly unrealistic way, to say nothing of the ridiculous saturation of the torch light.

The original question was about the Z' you mentioned before, i.e. Z without 6.

> you can't just replace Z with this new set and reason about it using our mathematics

Sure you can. Many things change and will break of course, and I agree counting doesn't work (which is the only reason I brought it up last time)—but that's exactly what the question is about: which specific things change and break. Some things would likely still continue to work though. For instance, you could construct something like I was describing above, which we might call Field-6, and do arithmetic and algebra with it. It wouldn't be as useful as a normal Field over the real numbers (for example), but that doesn't mean it wouldn't be a self-consistent thing describable within the framework of contemporary pure mathematics. You could also prove any number of theorems about it too—it's merely a question of why one would want to.

Ordered a tub of ice cream using UberEats. ETA 45 minutes. after an hour and 15 minutes I start trying to contact someone because my driver was "3 minutes away" dropping off someone elses order first.

Call my driver and am unable to communicate clearly with them. Get handed over to the guy who's door he was at and have a quick chat because both of us are annoyed (him for having someone knocking on his door at 11pm, and me for no ice cream).

Call Uber support and they call the driver, then say he should be at my place in 5 minutes or so.

A couple of calls back to Uber and about 2 hours after I ordered it, I finally get my ice cream. At this point in time it is all liquid.

For Reference: Ordered around 10PM (Friday night from memory), located in Perth Western Australia

Call Uber again and they say they will refund me. Still haven't seen the refund...

Something that is never brought up, the lack of recessing property values for property tax purposes.

It really punishes new young families.

example. say an old couple lives in a home presently valued at 2.5 million dollars in California, say they bought the home for 75,000 in the 1970's. So they pay about 750 bucks a year in property tax.

New family, buys the exact same home today, owes 25,000 in property tax a year. Over 2k a month just in property tax that doesn't exist for the older home owners that have been grandfathered into to low property taxes on a house whose value hasn't been reassessed for years.

Why isn't this talked about more?

New families get killed by this.
Whenever you order from Doordash, you get three texts: when the food is ordered, picked up, and nearby.

You should stop looking things only from "a business point of view", often what is best for business is bad for the users - even if they don't understand it themselves to care enough about (at which point what the business is doing is little different from taking advantage of their users' lack of knowledge and should be shamed instead of used as an example for others to mimic).

How do you respond to the comments of stock market investors that suggest the market is frequently irrational?
Another point on diversity: It's never going to happen to the extent that people want so long as most of the jobs are in Silicon Valley. For many women and minorities and older men (with children), it is difficult to make that move, away from their families. We can't pretend like this isn't a factor. I recently moved to Austin from south Florida and my last company had a very high Hispanic ratio, because it was located in south Florida, where the local population ratio is quite high. I knew many talented developers who couldn't or wouldn't make the move to one of the tech hubs because family. Without spreading out tech jobs over more of the country, you'll never see great representation.

Dude your post sounds crazy. I tried to write a nicer
version of that comment but sorry I am not smart enough.

1. Your name is Weatherman. You do realize that refers to a group of socialist protesters in the 1970’s?

2 Your profile picture on medium is of a license plate with the word “Bitcoin”. I don’t know of any “nouveau riche” gesture that more saps someone’s creditably than a fucking license plate spelling a word. WTF were you thinking man, that is what shitty real estate investors.

3. Keep in mind what you are essentially saying is you have reconciled the systems of democracy, fascism, and socialism in one grand unifying theory. That solution has
eluded every single human being who has ever been born, so something like 100 billion people. Congratulations, you’re now on your way to becoming the most famous and richest person in the world and you can look forward to taking me down when you have enough money to buy YC Combinator, get my IP address,
and come after me.

4. Jesus Christ man get a cat or develop an opioid addiction anything but write more “bitcoin is DEFINITELY the thing that will TOTALLY change EVERYTHING this time” nonsense.

It's a specially designed networked filesystem as the storage layer of a hosted postgres DB. From what I've read it has some interesting properties like built-in redundancy, expandable storage, you can instantly spin up replicas and copy-on-write clones of the db, plus they claim 2x+ performance compared to vanilla postgres. From what I've gathered it's kind of similar to the Spanner db that google released a few months ago in that there's a pretty tight integration of the software with the hardware & network layer that they control, which is what makes some of these improvements possible.

The other thing that I find promising, is RDS has always felt kind of awkward in terms of what's still vanilla postgres that you're on your own for and what AWS does for you. I haven't tried Aurora yet but it seems like it might feel more AWS-native (things like having better performance monitoring tools and using IAM roles to control the db users).

U.S. Consumer Bureau Loses Fight to Allow More Class-Action Suits
Apart from “home” use, Excel users usually lack functionality and tend to build an unmaintainable mess in their spreadsheets. Quarter of my ‘system integration’ work came from Excel users trying to automate and/or formalize what they created in there for years. Sadly, these types of businesses take hell of efforts to convert to good information systems; high failure rates are normal there. For me, Excel is a heroin of a business world. It drags you from reality and breaks you when you’re trying to get back into it.
This is the argument that (IMO, rightly) people make against the continued use of C for systems programming.

How does that apply to the John Deere tractors or your next car?
We use Intercom quite a lot at Siftery. What would you say are the top alternatives/substitutes if not what's listed?

Here's what we have for the "substitues" calculation:
"When companies stop using Intercom, its most frequent substitutes are Drift (44.9% of the time), followed by Zendesk (9%), and by Zendesk Chat (Formerly Zopim) (7%)"

(Drift as the closest substitute closely matches my experience investigating options in this space; other products are more like partial or imperfect substitutes)

The alternatives ranked by NPS include Appcues, Chameleon, Clickhelp, Tawk.to, Olark, Freshdesk. Intercom is multi-faceted and difficult product to categorize, but all of those products are alternatives for some of its functionality.

Are there other products you think definitely belong here and were missed? Not trying to come off as defensive by the way, just trying to really understand where's the opportunity for improvement here.
“Tonight’s vote is a giant setback for every consumer in this country,” Richard Cordray, the director of the consumer bureau, said in a statement. “As a result, companies like Wells Fargo and Equifax remain free to break the law without fear of legal blowback from their customers.”
FWIW if you were trying it when they were putting algal products in (1.6? 1.7?) I had similar issues, but they weren't there before the algal stuff, and went away when the algal products were removed.

Completely agree on all counts. Regarding your last paragraph, that's an interesting point and similar to the tradeoff that patent protection provides -- you either openly publish the invention in return for legal protection, or you can leave it unpatented as a trade secret but no legal protection.

Who defines what counts as "tampering"? I didn't tamper with anything, I simply used the product the way I wanted to use it. I don't see how it's even remotely reasonable to allow the manufacturer to set rules as to how you may use the product, and if you don't follow those rules they disclaim all responsibility for delivering a non-defective product by claiming that it's "tampering".

And how is the potential problem that some things are difficult to judge for a court a reason to therefore allow one party to dictate the judgement? And why would that party be the manufacturer? Why don't I as the customer get to dictate the outcome?

Is there any reasonable surety that the manufacturer did do their quality control properly?

How could it possibly be reasonable to assume that I am at fault because the manufacturer says so?

How is it possibly a reasonable solution to the supposed problem that courts lack resources to simply declare one party the winner by law?

And no, the line does not have to be drawn anywhere, why would it?

If I am willing and able to prove to any sufficiently competent person in the matter that a defect existed when the product was delivered ... what could possibly be a reason to "draw the line" somewhere and ignore the evidence? How is it not obvious that at the very least, if I can demonstrate that a defect existed when the product was delivered, it should be completely irrelevant whether I also modified the product?
