This comes mostly to fill up the void that UK will leave in the E.U. by exiting and ofc is not going to fly

There has been a Franco-German formation for 30 years now, it's never actually deployed https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Franco-German_Brigade

But the EU for all its pretensions never "kept the peace in Europe" - that was NATO, and unless Corbyn is elected[1], there's no chance of the UK leaving.

The difference is with an authoritative servers many types of cheats become impossible. If the server doesn't broadcast the position of a player when it is impossible to see them, then the client can't hack to get their position. The player cannot cause themselves to move faster than is possible, or grant themselves health or items.

There are still types of cheats that remain possible, like aimbots. Nothing can be done about that.

I'm the same exact way... Tasks and reminders are spread across multiple services, but I never check them.

Have you tried offline notes?

It's not sexy and it doesn't sync with all of your devices, but for computer-related tasks the only to-do list I've had consistent success with is large post-it notes. It's always next to my keyboard so the effort required to consult the list is next to none.

I would love to see a European Union where other EU countries have a say in the main election of each country. Say, all EU countries can vote for the chancellor election in Germany and these votes weight 5% of the final results, while the German votes weight 95%. Same for the French presidential election, other EU countries could vote for a weight of 5%, and 95% of the weight is given the French votes.

This could happen slowly, countries joining one by one the system: when a country joins, it offers 5% of its main election(s) to other EU countries, and in exchange it can vote for other EU countries main elections.

This would oblige national politicians to address the concerns of European citizens outside of their country. This would be very welcome since the choices of national politicians do not just affect the lives of the nationals, but if affects the lives of other Europeans too.
As the national economies are all strongly intertwined and the economic choices of one EU country very affects others, two solutions come to mind: (a) a strong federal government like in the US, where the decisions of state politicians barely affect other states; (b) to keep the current system where national politicians can make choices that affect all Europeans, but let all Europeans have a say in their election.

There are some weird biases on display here, and conflation of income and wealth. Plenty of high-income people have low wealth because they waste money. Obviously, the higher income you have, the more buffer you have against bad decisions, and the more growth opportunity you have.
The company I work for has turned into an Agile church. My productivity dropped with more than 50%. Most of my colleagues have left already, now I'm stuck with Agile masters, coaches and all the misery they come up with.

I know I need to look for a new job, but I hate the hiring process sooooo much that I keep procrastinating.

I'm a senior full-stack, have written loads of production software over 20 years of experience. Who the hack from refdash is going to assess me with some stupid algorithm question? Can he build shit himself? If so, he knows this whole process is irrelevant.

> we don't have a good grasp on the dynamics behind why (certain) prices go up to gobble up every gain in income or government grant.

We actually do, both when it is driven by rational (e.g., shifting money into a monopolized market) and irrational (encouraging time-deferred costs that people are known empirically to discount) forces.

> If rents just advance to capture the BI, all you've done is give a big subsidy to landowners.

But they can't, because UBI is a redistributive scheme; without price discrimination based on income before both UBI and the taxes funding it, you can't adjust rents to capture it.
If you just set your default search engine to DuckDuckGo, DDG has !commands that do basically the same thing. So I can type "!wiki foo" to search Wikipedia for "foo". And the other benefit is you're not letting Google (or Bing or Yahoo or whatever) see your search traffic anymore!
I've used its JSON support extensively and no, it's not really the same at all. What you're saying is that you're OK with (1) planning to not use columns to store your individual data fields in the first place, forgoing the primary SQL features of column-based lookup, joins, etc., or (2) having the client write complicated Postgres-specific SQL queries that dynamically construct JSON strings built from the fields that are stored in the real row structure.

I'm very happy to note that Vimperator/Pentadactyl, my favorite extension and what makes Firefox much better than other browsers for me, is not actually disappearing with the switch to WebExtensions in FF57 as I had feared.

I'm using Brave on Android and it does block ads, here is the ad block engine they use: https://github.com/brave/ad-block. The replacing of ads thing isn't implemented yet, and I expect that it can be turned off when that feature has landed, like the Brave payments thing that is currently opt-in on the desktop version: https://www.brave.com/publishers/.
This seems to have fixed it for me! Not that I could actually live with this fix, but now I could report it to them or something. When I turned it to default scaling it was snappy again. And when I move the window over to one of my 4K monitors it is also fast, so it's something unique to the laptop monitor with scaling.
Ya, that like is familiar. In C#, you can declare class D4 : Dim<D3,D4,D5> ...., and then use extension methods to access the D3 and D5 type parameters as previous and next dimensions. It all was nice and f-bounded as well.
C# is an under appreciated language for these kinds of things.
>A big reason some users dislike ads isn't because of their entire existance but rather their tendency as of late to be malware-ridden or cause drops in webpage performance. These are the things that cause some users to enable ad-blockers, and Brave is the only way I've heard of that has pushed the envelope of a BETTER ad experience.

AdBlock Plus also does something equivalent through their default option to show "Unobtrusive ads."

That's not a reasonable conclusion to draw. You would need to preallocate to maximize performance regardless of GC in this case, and in other cases, the performance and determinism gaps between GC languages and non-GC languages is almost entirely due to tertiary factors. For example, GC languages are more likely to prioritize friendliness over raw performance in other areas--language features, compiler optimizations, standard library design, etc. Non-GC languages really only need to appeal to the high-performance and high-determinism crowds.
WoW started instancing content out in the world several expansions back. As far as I remember and know, people can seamlessly phase in and out of each other's instances. In fact, I think the made it work across realm servers.

So, it seems it's proven possible without this hybrid p2p model, which has a sharp performance downside for shooter pvp.

I don't understand the decision. Is there something more nuanced experience-wise that their system achieves? Or could it be something else, like an attempt to save on infrastructure costs?
Those are the things I take pride in. Not a new airforce jet.

But those things would never have happened without US defence spending, because the Europeans would have had to spend that money defending the Fulda Gap from the Third Shock Army.

Doing that and funding a welfare state would indeed be something to be proud of, but don't kid yourself that Europe achieved this by its own effort.

I think you interpreted the comment wrong. Of course it's not reasonable for them to expect that money to just show up. But it's perfectly reasonable for them to expect that they could capture that much business. Because there's a lot of money flowing all the time, and 50 million is really a very small portion of it.

After reading the article, this netcode sounds like a complete mess. It's like Diablo 2, scaled up (contrast with Diablo 3).

This is by far one of the most frustrating things to me about the current structure of the scientific community. Making all published research free to access for everyone would be a massive benefit to the general education of society and would allow anyone regardless of institutional affiliation to be involved in the process of science. Imagine how much better science reporting would be if every popular science article was expected to link directly to the full papers they were referencing.

As someone who hasn't been involved with a university or a laboratory for many years, I find myself continually extremely frustrated by how difficult it can be for me to keep up with new developments in the fields I studied in college.
How José Cisneros is trying to get SF companies to release private user data
Qualcomm's wireless patents are Standard Essential Patents (SEP) and FRAND (Fair Reasonable Add Non-Discriminatory) encumbered.

In other words, Qualcomm voluntarily declared their wireless patents to Standard Setting Orgnizations (SSO) such as ETSI, ITU, etc to become part of standards that all chipmakers must implement. Qualcomm is, under their agreement with SSO's, required to license their wireless to all willing licensees at FRAND terms. In exchange for giving up their monopoly, Qualcomm gets guaranteed income from all uses of wireless standards such as LTE in baseband chips, or mobile phones.
I think you're getting downvoted mostly because of calling Google "comparatively weak", but I think your point and your comparison is correct. Google is weak in comparison to the U.S. Government and, importantly, is subject to competition.

There are other email services which offer what people want. Want people are proposing is imposing their will on Google and the people that run it, even though there is competition out there that people could use instead and get what they want. Gmail and Google Apps are far from the only options people have, and far from the only free options people have. But if it is so important that people have an email address, then the USG could actually offer that (I've long thought the USPS should offer verified email addresses with strict spam protection by aggressively pursuing violators). Otherwise, let people pay what they want for the level of assurance they want.

The other side of this argument is that there are some things we do want to enforce companies do, such as offer a base level of health care in a package. I support this as well, because that solves an endemic problem where people have restricted choice and it also hurts society as a whole. That is, I think Hobby Lobby should have to provide birth control in their health plans because of the reasons outlined above, but I don't think any non governmental service provider that isn't a monopoly (and Google isn't a monopoly in cloud apps, even if there is an argument that can be made about them being one in search) should have to adhere to dictates about what what content they must allow on their service. That's a pretty slippery slope in my view.
The competition will most certainly result in coupons with free/discounted rides and other benefits like the old Hailo vs Uber days, before Hailo left Toronto...

A large part of Uber's ability to act without regard for public scrutiny was the fact they were frequently the only horse in town for most cities. The tech press in SF is often isolated from this reality.

This competition from Lyft is a great counter balance for Uber, without having to rely on the heavy-handed counter-weight of government-backed last-era taxi conglomerates/unions.

Quite the spoiled and childish attitude. Most NATO members aren't contributing the minimum and instead effectively externalize defense to the US. Then they make comments like yours that trivialize the importance of defense. At least the military leaders of the Eastern flank of NATO, located as it is on a geopolitical seismic fault and with Russia at arm's length, better appreciate the importance of defense. Of course, relying on the Eastern flank to function as a buffer without is, again, foolish and yet another blow to the beyond dubious solidarity of EU member states. (I am reminded of the Polish-Soviet war of 1920 and the Western attitudes then.)

This has nothing to do with any pride. It has everything to do with security and survival. Without it, all those other things you mentioned you can kiss goodbye.
> The fundamental issue with a basic income, as I see it, is that it's impossible to guarantee, since the revenue, out of which basic income is paid, comes from taxes. This makes it impossible to know how much money the government will have to pay out a basic income next year. So a family that has gotten used to, say, $15,000 in basic income one year, may only get half of that the next year, because government can't predict its tax income for the next year.

This is only a problem for a government constrained to short-term budget balance (U.S. states largely are for their operating budgets, but the federal government is not.)

Invasion of the actual UK is something that even Hitler never managed; in that case we launch the nukes and pray.

Far more relevant is what happens if a UK ally, vital or dispensible, gets invaded. Or yet another impending massacre of civilians, such as got us involved in Libya. As with the first and second world wars, are a huge number of people going to get killed or displaced in an unnecessary conflict?

Or if the UK manages to accidentally restart armed conflict in Northern Ireland; a Brexit that puts up customs posts there will get them blown up.

Would the segment of the UK that voted for Brexit in order to deport Poles cheerfully come to the defence of Poland?

When a small group of people have most of the control, and they are using it in a way that hurts the majority of people, asking for a more level playing field doesn't seem like a bad thing to me.

Too similar to Reddit. I already have an RSS reader. Will never take off.
That doesn't follow at all... A cost is always an outflow of money. As I mentioned in another thread, GDP counts the "same dollar" being spent multiple times. Even if there was only one dollar in the economy, you could generate millions in GDP by spending that one dollar millions of times in a year. However, you sure as hell aren't going to be making a $10 acquisition proposal with only $1 in the economy.
I've long held your viewpoint. I push friends and family to use their platform's native browser. Most often than not, it saves on battery and reduces energy usage. I use Safari on iOS and on my desktop I've always used 2 browsers. 1 for browsing and a 2nd for long-running media. Thus on my desktop I use Firefox and for media, Edge.

I don't have a laptop, but will when the Qualcomm Snapdragon Windows10 machines land, and will probably use Edge exclusively there.

It's important to watch where incentives run. Google has the incentive to profit from you. Microsoft and Apple have the incentive to make sure your browser and device work as efficiently and well together as possible. Mozilla focuses on privacy as their main feature.

ok. Your view isn’t unusual for folk in large organisations who have never held responsible positions so I’ll leave it there.

But, for what it’s worth, you’re almost definitely wrong in your analysis. Senior people at large organisations do routinely make poor decisions but it’s usually for either external factors, empire building or blame shifting. It’s hardly ever for genuine stupidity or laziness.
I have a related question. We are developing a "contact center" SaaS web application with the following functionalities:

- Launch a call programmatically (from an extension to a phone number) while setting a custom caller ID.

- Check extension status: idle / calling to {phone number} + call duration

- Read call history log for the day (talking time, calls made)

- Record a call

- Monitoring functions over calls: listen/whisper/barge

We are able to provide all of those already, but using FreePBX + a SIP trunk provider.

The problem is, our approach seems difficult to scale, as we will have to develop the VoIP infrastructure to support new users, and we don't want to go that route, as we want to focus on the software.

We would rather outsource that part to some VoIP provider with an API that enables those functionalities, however some well-known services (like 8x8.com) don't provide all those functionalities and some others that do provide them (like RingCentral) turn out to be too expensive, pretty much double our current cost.

Any suggestion?

Good job Shital and team. May I know what type of testing we can do with AirSim? is it perception control or MPC or something else?
They might have to. I saw your other post, about who owns the rights, and I've also seen some of that as a LotROnline player. There might be other issues because of the movies, if MEE/SZC gave the studios exclusive (or time-exclusive) rights to the characters and settings. That still leaves a lot, though. Angmar and Dol Guldur are only alluded to in the books, not visited, which makes them Tolkien Estate territory. Gondor's a bit trickier. The kin-strife involved characters not in LotR, but the settings might be contentious. A lot depends on the specific details or the contracts among the various parties, which we don't know.
> I don't think that's necessarily good enough. Even if he is personally restrained in whom he acts like a jerk towards, his behaviour establishes norms within the project and contributes to how other people behave.

I'd really like to see some examples of these "norms". His outbursts really are few and far between - hence why they always make the "news" when they happen. He posts several emails a day to the LKML and virtually all of them are perfectly nice and helpful.

I might not defend how exactly he goes about telling people they're doing something wrong, but it's not like he sits there chewing people out everyday, and it's not at all clear to me how you make the claim that his outbursts contribute to how other people behave on the LKML when people behave perfectly fine on the LKML.
