I agree, but I think these two are related and that's part of the reason why it's an issue. It's a knowledge = power situation.

FB have datasets designed to find those people who will register for a conference, sign up to a streaming service or buy a shoe. The same tools also work for "spreading fake news, etc." There are side effects to large scale use of this, beyond the basic. "Bubbles" was a first pass at describing it, but I think it understates the issue by putting the emphasis on groups of people, and implying insularity is the root cause. I think the truth is more individual focused. There are two types of groups. One is the type you could describe in terms of facebook's "social graph," people connected to eachother in various ways. Another is a segment. People who are not necessarily related to eachother, but "inform" on eaother statistically.

Finding a piece of content you will like is becoming finding a piece of news you will believe.

FB are now a news outlet, the biggest and most important one. I don't know if regulation is the best path to a better news media, it could also make things worse. But, what I'm worried about is that FB does not want to be a news outlet. They would like to maintain their "agregator" designation, like the news tab in google search. I'd like to see them abandon that position, and take on the role of news media more consciously and deliberately. Journalism has an ethic, it's not perfect but at least it recognizes that they play a responsible role in society. FB need to adopt something like this, regulaton or not. .
>repeal of net neutrality

It irks me whenever people say this, because technically net neutrality (As defined here [1]) has never fully existed in the US. In the US there is no law, and there never has been a law, mandating net neutrality. The government can't repeal net neutrality because there's no law to repeal in the first place. Using 'repeal' is the wrong word here, and really muddles the issue.

Agreed. In a few days I'm supposed to give a lecture about how to write great scientific papers. I wasn't aware of this paper (I'm aphysicist, not a mathematician), but nevertheless I'm going to discuss it with the class, its conciseness is exemplary! Thanks a lot!

When Microsoft was declared abusing its monopoly status, you could buy 100 different OSes from different vendors if you cared to, too.

Monopoly (abusing or not) is not about being able to buy stuff elsewhere, it's about what percentage of a market an entity has.

It's true that more women want this than men, certainly in the U.S., but you can't say the concerns "just aren't there for men" -- already in this thread there are men saying they want to be stay-at-home dads.

I also think that actually planning for the involvement of a VC is quite crazy. Many companies "use" VC´s for the wrong reasons. Why would I plan to give away a piece of my company for money? I mean, VC´s can be useful when you really need financing and want to scale. But otherwise one should concentrate on really building a long-term business. But enough about that. The article otherwise is pretty helpful. I can especially relate to this quote: “If you want to go fast, go alone; if you want to go far, go together.”. That´s an important lesson. Together you can bounce ideas and make clearer and better decisions.

I'm really surprised to see this from a company that makes, of all possible genres, clicker games.

Clicker games usually have almost no actual gameplay, and pretty much only interest people because they exploit many of the same type of psychological tricks that free-to-play games use to keep players hooked. They're a great demonstration of how the illusion of progressing at something is all you need to keep people interested, even when the only thing they're progressing towards is... the opportunity for more progression.

I honestly don't think that charging people up front will work, especially not at a $30 price point. Microtransactions work for this game style because you can take advantage of all the time people feel like they've "invested" into the game. Once they've spent hundreds of hours progressing, it's not difficult for some people to justify spending money here and there to make things a bit faster. I don't think many people will feel the same way when they're asked to pay $30 before they can even start getting addicted.

New York's transport is baffling to me. The lack of a proper subway or special express train option to get quickly to the airports is doubly baffling. I guess the cross-state jurisdiction is one of the issues with Newark, but the AirTrain solution over at JFK is way subpar if compared to other major cities.
I've been there twice in a few months and it's simply a disaster. 2.5 hrs by car to get to Newark from Williamsburg at 2pm on a Friday. I wonder what rush hour looks like.
Well said. This is exactly how I feel about this whole situation.

TfL is. Everyone does that. It's part of the taxes that employers pay on top of salaries.

That's part of the reason why the cost of an employee is so much higher than the salary, and it's one of the costs you save by having nominally independent contractors instead of employees.

TfL does have good planning, though, and is largely able to fix things before they grow too expensive.

You’re absolutely right, I forgot because I haven’t played it for a lot of years. Back when I played unlocking the heroes was relatively easy, but I can imagine how it isn’t like that anymore considering how many heroes they must have added by now.
> So to conclude, it would be the slow erosion of freedom of speech, a swift decline in innovation, prices for services like Netflix would rise, and if we are lucky they would only nickel and dime us more (think microtransactions) instead of blocking out entire chunks of the internet. The USA would lose its dominance technologically, investment in internet companies would slow, the best minds would hesitate to move here, ones we already have would think about leaving, Europe and Canada would have a chance to shine.

Given that the US has never really had net neutrality, why hasn't this scenario already come to pass?
There's a photo of Zuck is his office doing the rounds, but if you zoom in he's taped up his laptop camera and even microphone...
Not true. You also get points for playing a game. With enough points you can buy any heroes.

With enough play times, you'll have more than enough to buy all the heroes without paying real money and then there's nothing else you can use it for.

Real money is only required if you want to buy skins.

Also, with hundreds of available champion to play you are not really required to play the most recently released champion. Just play from pools of all existing champions until you get enough point to buy new champion.

Why is nobody reading the article? They are using innovative chip packaging to integrate an amd discrete laptop gpu and an intel cpu into a single package. The intel cpu still has an iGPU.

Been playing it for over a year, have all cards up to tournament standard and hovering at about 4k rating. Have spent probably close to 150 dollars on it that i do not regret. It is more fun than wow and less expensive, especially in the long run. Now that i have a solid base of cards i am really not incentivised to spend any more money and probably won't except for the rare 2$ 5x value offers which come up every month or so where as in a game like wow i would have to spend 60 bucks every year on an expansion and another 100 on subscriptions, have to constantly grind so need to invest loads of time.. Ugh

In tournament mode the levels are capped so it is an even playing field where spending money doesn't get you wins. I believe other developers have a lot to learn from their model
Do you mean evade or avoid? Everyone avoids tax. Currently taxes on property transfers in the UK are 5% on property priced at £925,000 and 10% if priced at £925,001. I guess Joe Nonavoider sets the price at the latter figure?
Support Vector Machines (SVMs) are a classification technique that was in vogue before 2012, with great results for smallish problems. It's still useful today, but less talked about, I mean, it's just assumed as common knowledge.
Omitting a bottleneck like the PCIe bus between the CPU and GPU makes memory sharing between the two much more viable. This allows a totally different kind of offloading of work from the CPU.

I used Samsung Chromebook from 2012 with Exynos 5 ARM CPU for Java development running Eclipse and a web server locally. It was not speedy but very OK setup for a laptop costing 250USD. The main problem was speed and amount of memory, not raw CPU performance.

Given that I expected that some company would release ARM laptops with better specs memory-wise especially after introduction of ARM64 CPUs, but that did not happen. I guess Intel has still too much grip on the industry.
There's nothing fearless or feminine about implants.

The "camera review" videos on her channel where she walks around with selfie stick pointing at her boobs. That's just poor taste click bait, not "expressing femininity". View count jumps above 1 million the less she wears, but at what cost?

I've no idea about the main story of apology, I just found this today and commenting on her channel and choice of brand promotion. This to me would easily cause lack of trust with whatever she does, simply because of her willingness to self-exploit for view count.

Oil in the arctic costs $40 or more to extract. Oil in Saudi-Arabia costs, what, $15? So at the very least there is a 50% exposure as the oil price will fall for all oil. It is not like Norway is the sole exporter. If oil price drops and there is a race to the bottom, only the cheap sources will sell. Norwegian oil is among the most expensive to produce (that is currently operated with the hope of profit).

If oil price drops too far you coild imagine gasoline and diesel generators taking over for gas :p or at least NLG taking a hit... the energy market is coupled.
Just fyi, you don't actually need the heredoc. This works just as well:

cat > myfile.txt

You can terminate input by sending ascii EOT (Ctrl-D). It makes sense once you realize that heredocs are just a way of explicitly setting the contents of stdin. By not using a heredoc, cat opens stdin and writes it through to 'myfile' or wherever until stdin gets closed, which the terminal driver does for us when we send EOT.

The problem is, without the free-to-play model, they now lose the essential parts of any products, marketing.

Anyone who download the free game and talk about it or recommended it to a friend is free marketing.

With enough friends talking about the game or play it without paying, one person in that group will spend $30.

But without the groups existing in the first place, that same person may not interested in the game enough to buy it.
I keep it simple: A bunch of semi-organized markdown files + resilio sync (+ an old always-on android phone for a resilio 'server'). I can continue living in Emacs (and a markdown-friendly android app).

I tried to bespoke notetaking things (evernote, google keep, trello, orgmode, et al) before I figured out I was just dumping bits of text and never actually used the organizational/tagging/convenient features.

I guess it would be nice to have quick and easy ways to search and archive notes on my phone but I can live without it.
I think that there is a big gap between predatory mobile style F2P and other F2P games. I like the F2P games.

In the past, you had to spend money to have something to play and the game would last you for a short while. Nowadays, if you are into competitive gameplay, you can just install League of Legends, DOTA2, TF2, Paladins, Starcraft 2 and lots of MMOs and play for years without paying anything. In most of these games, you only pay for cosmetic stuff, or for early unlocks, but they aren't really necessary to progress.

That's the good side of F2P. But then you have the nasty "you run out of energy, pay $5 to recover" games, which milk you each step of the way and aren't fun at all without paying. These should be frowned upon.

How to Play DVD on ASUS ZenBook Flip S
The hard limit is a function of stops, layout, train length and acceleration/deceleration ability, and finally the signal system.

Each train has to approach a station, brake, stop, wait while people enter and leave, start and accelerate, all at safe distance to the trains in front and behind. Braking, standing still and starting easily add up to a minute, so a two-minute cycle time is hard even if the track layout is friendly (evenly spaced stations, no mutexes in the central area, etc).

Ninety seconds is really impressive.
A related news item these days rolling in Norway is how a big investment (Goliat platform) is posed to make a net loss, costing the goverment a lot of money due to the tax regime. (Jury will be out for many years, investments in arctic oil happen 10-15 years before thw income).

Because of the high extraction costs for Norwegian oil, it is possible for Norwegian oil to crash, while other oil producers are still massively profitable.

So it is not about "oil or not oil" as such but the oil price.
