War games it not guys running around in a field. It's the absolute opposite of that. It's simulating, instead of running around in a field.

Hmm... competition/choice and NN are actually conflated.

Without NN, incumbents can raise barriers (e.g. zero-rating, etc) such that upstarts have no way to compete.

8 New Features and Improvements in PHP 7.2.0
Right after it tripled value? I’m geniunely interested in your thoughts on this.
It's a trust issue. I think it's a major leap to auto-enable new features without letting the users know what's going on, but people don't seem to have a problem with it these days as long as it doesn't raise any red flags in their mind or on social media. If we're auto-enabling stuff like this, don't users stop asking the questions? And is that consent?

That's not even going into who is making these decisions, the corporations who only stand to profit from you enabling these features. They will roll it back if there is enough public outcry, but burying the option in the system settings is one way to avoid mass public outcry. Convenient, isn't it.

Sure another major corporation is doing this with their products, but that doesn't make it right. None of this is an acceptable reason to continue sneaking it into their products. Plus the data collected has a potential for even more profit, which is where I just peace out and use an OS I trust. Why in the world would I give Windows 10 the benefit of the doubt?
They don't. Automatic weapons are pricey, heavily controlled and not something people are likely to pick up at a retail store or even a gun show.

n the UK, regular soldiers are paid much less than in the US

British Army Private £18,488 Lance Corporal £25,524, that's $24,633 and $34,007 respectively according to Bing. US Army is $19,198 and $25,066 respectively. Obviously cost of living etc is different, but British soldiers are comparatively well paid.

have far fewer benifits and protections after they leave

This is true. The way we treat our veterans is appalling. Upon leaving the Army they are basically disowned and discarded by the government (both parties) and it is up to the charity sector. Even discrimination based on veteran or reserve status is perfectly legal here[1]. One charity I actively support is https://supportourparas.org

[1] One reason the AR has no hope of reaching its target of 30k trained reservists. The TA 20 years ago managed 70k!
I agree it seems like they would be vulnerable to the same kind of obfuscation attacks as image recognition algorithms - however, I guess in this case they have the added benefit of determining that the object is a lump of metal (ceramics or 3d-printed exotics aside) - after all, very few objects with a comparable quantity of metal in them as a gun would routinely be carried into a casino.
Based on the ReSharper reference you've got tunnel vision for .Net apps.

Now do that with a bloated Rails code base. Or some other dynamic programing language. It's not even remotely that simple.

You sure that view isn't being rendered by something else? Are you sure that API endpoint -- which is using that weird decorator, which is using that legacy property, which is relying on that outdated library -- isn't being used by a client?
Some are more rational than others.
Is this a new client and server, or are they just taking advantage of the ability to run native Linux binaries?
Neither. Both require tying your identity to a phone number.

You're better off with Matrix/Riot or XMPP. Neither requires a phone number, both offer the ability to communicate securely, even with a compromised server. Both also support multiple devices, group chats and federation.
My understanding is that they are making some significant new releases which will allow for very fast transaction times and support for contracts. I have been expecting a big breakout from LTC but then again this all could have happened for other reasons. I'm not sure how I could really prove that this was the cause.
This is the UK's Defence Science & Technology Laboratory, I'm wagering this is on a military base. The same perks are offered to most US civilians working on military bases as well.

And yet, that worthless fraudulent garbage is one of the few ways to get rich.

The worthless fraudulent garbage is an even a better way to get poor. Which is why there is a financial test to make such investments: “does this person have that kind of money to piss away?”
If you don't mind me asking, what types of transactions do you currently use it for? Based on the current technology and fees, it is quite expensive to transact, and really doesn't make sense for me.

That said, I can see a future for it if something like lightning network ever gets released (and actually works).
It is definitely a speculative bubble. I think we are in a similar position as 1998. The technologists can see that [the Internet]/[cryptocurrencies] are very interesting technologies, with the potential to change the world. But retail investors are pouring in, without any understanding of the tech, and inflating both good and bad [companies]/[coins] in a pure speculative frenzy.

If I had to bet, there is still lots of upwards runway left, but at some point, it will come crashing down, the bad [companies][coins] will be worthless, and out of the ashes will rise a more sensible market with some of these [companies][coins] truly changing the world.
I think it's because ICOs give you a tradeable token; kickstarter contributions cannot be traded for profit.
How I dispise this meme. If you have real competition you don't need or want NN regulation. Monopolies are the problem and NN is a sub-optimal solution precisely because it's permanently one pen stroke away from being eradicated. If you switched the UK from a it's current competitive landscape to a monopolistic one you'd be getting greif from customers and all the businesses that would be shut out. In the US, you're only getting greif from customers and since they're not funding your next campaign you can just ignore them.

If you're smart enough to tell a good investment from a scam, why don't you have enough money to be an accredited investor?

Google does not benefit from demonetized content but instead hurts as they still have infrastructure expense.
Yes, but I rarely use this as I often haven't made up my mind regarding how the series should be structured.

They are in a bubble, and bubbles can last for years. They also drive innovation.
Yeah they always assign a dollar amount to options instead of a % amount which is what really matters.

$100,000 in options sounds great but if it’s .01% of options then you’ll have to be part of a monster IPO or sale to get a windfall.

Always insist on the % amount. Most founders will try not to share it.
Here's my solution to 25:

I'm not OP but time in market beats timing the market. If there's a chance LTC goes 10x in the next few days or weeks or months, better to have bought now than trying to wait for a dip that may or may not arrive.
That is not open source. Note that the meat of it is in the form of compiled binaries in the /bin directory: https://github.com/StationQ/Liquid/tree/master/bin

In this case, GitHub isn’t being used so much as an open source collaboration tool, but rather a file host.
Well, ridiculous in the sense that the whole phenomenon is absurd or relatively to what some people earn in a year, sure.

But I only made about 2.5x my wager, which wasn't much (less than $10000, more than $1000).

Also, as noted, much of a LTC gains could easily be eaten up by ETH losses. BTC is too expensive for my gambling taste.
I know people who say it jokingly. Never met anyone who meant it seriously.
That's considered collectibles.

Take this difference, for example: if you buy a collectible Ford Shelby GT from 1964 and you pay 10x more what the previous owner paid, you do so with hopes that its a good investment into collectible that eventually someone will give you a better price in the future. Your asumption/feeling of security (hence name "securities" btw) is not guaranteed by anything more than hope that someone will eventually pay more (they never may be such person).

Meanwhile if you buy Ford stock with the same purpose of re-selling it later down the road for hopefully higher price, you are being reassured aka "secured" by the company financial standing, their technical analyze, current market value, future strategy for the corp, etc. If these are phony then hopefully/supposedly SEC steps in to protect you from what most likely will turn out to be scam. Collectibles (genuine one of course) do not come with guarantee/security that their current value (what you personally gave for) will remain in the future, or be repriced higher.
At this point, it feels like investing in Penny stocks, just hotter.

although, to be fair, at least with penny stocks, they actually represent some companies whereas blockchain coins are more about a store of value and a bunch of other stuff
I'm relatively ignorant but I think it's a matter of fungibility.
when you back a kickstarter you don't receive a store of value that you can re-sell to another party. That's a vague statement to be sure; you could say the same thing about beanie babies, for example. But Ty did not sell beanie babies to people under the auspices of resale value. Therein lies the rub: the crime is not in selling a thing that has value that can be resold (since that describes all property), it's advertising your product as an investment vehicle.

Voyage into the World of Serverless – with a 135-year-old Shipping Company
Well kickstarters aren’t securities, while many coins are. That’s a pretty straight forward distinction. And the SEC has jurisdiction if some part of the transaction or company is in the United States. Also pretty simple.
In addition to what you're saying, it feels like YouTube is underestimating their leverage over advertisers. They hold exclusive access rights to either the biggest or second biggest audience for video content in the world. It seems to me that advertisers need YouTube far more than YouTube needs any individual advertiser.

The demonitization policy also seems overly broad. While not wanting to display ads before literal executions makes sense, the blanket bans on profanity or use of brand names are counterproductive. People mostly watch videos from creators they like, or that are similar to videos they've watched before. That means that the content in question isn't objectionable to the viewer themselves, and won't cause them to form a negative association with the advertiser's brand. Advertisers should WANT their content to be next to content that the viewer is positively disposed to, regardless of what that content is.
That's not what makes MLM a "pyramid". Residuals are part of lots of legitimate business. What makes most MLM a pyramid scheme is the fact that growth is predicated on bringing new members into the scheme, rather than existing members growing their business.
> In some sense, people depend on society to maintain their quality of life and provide for a subset of their needs; people also contribute to society and maintain it in turn. You're talking about cutting out the latter and keeping the former without replacing it with anything to support yourself with, which makes you completely dependent on society to provide everything for you, not just some things.

Sorry, no, that's not what I'm talking about.

I am saying that I'd like to see the notion of "contributes to the labor market" entirely disentangled from the notion of "contributes to society". Those are very separate concepts, but today everyone talks about the morality of the first as if it is the morality of the second.

Consider it moral relativism if you will, but I think "contributes to society" is and should be a very low bar. Existing as a law abiding member of a society alone is a contribution.

Child care is extremely undervalued by the labor market, but hugely valuable to society. Child care raises the next generation of that society, after all.

In the case of the "town drunk", making transactions to buy a legal vice is a contribution, keeping the money circulating in that town. That "town drunk" may even contribute directly to the well being of people directly in the way that they brighten people's days.

The lower the bar we set as a society, the greater the safety net, the larger the trampoline. Yes, that's a bit selfish to want, but a large safety net, a giant trampoline lets you take huge risks in the labor market, lets you take huge risks undervalued by the labor market.

I got laid off in a terrible state once, where to collect the unemployment insurance money to which I contributed, almost all of which came out of my premiums, I was treated as a guilty, negligent individual that needed constant supervision to keep from a life of crime, I was micro-managed in how I could use my money, and my unemployed time. Every form was designed to infantilize me, and possibly also designed to humiliate and judge me and guilt me, for daring to make use of the insurance product for which I had greatly contributed in a time when it was decided it would be nice to "cut overhead this quarter to bring shareholder value up for a buyout". That's not a society I want to live in.

We are post-scarcity in the labor market for all unskilled and easily trainable jobs. We are dangerously close to post-scarcity for a lot of skilled labor. That scares me. I want to selfishly redefine what "contributes to society" means because I fear we need to do that sooner rather than later. We don't all want to be standing in lines in government offices, for the rest of our days, filling out forms demanding us to prove our worth as people. It would be better if we could assume people are worth something as a baseline.

Hashrate and adoption are important though -- anyone can create the smallest tweak to Bitcoin that may improve it to some degree, but the market can't swap chains every day to accommodate these changes. Bitcoin is good enough for now, and that keeps it on top.
Bitcoin has a flat fee per transaction, so even at $6 it doesn't take a lot of money until it's winning out over the 5% PayPal takes.

Been there, done that (to myself). Didn't even get a t-shirt.
Not particularly - I never kept up with the snack bar controversy enough to even know what the complaint was.

I was thinking foremost of the mold issues with liquid Soylent. That's fairly old (12+ months?) and seems to be solved, but it's a long-term reputation problem in the same sense as Chipotle. Less crucially, I'm also thinking about the digestive issues people have reported - that some people talk about nausea and terrible gas when consuming lots of Soylent.

Neither of those things seems to be a "our product is nonviable today" issue, but both have raised a specter among the people I talk to of "Soylent is weird and maybe not healthy". Swapping the CEO to someone more mainstream seems like one step towards fighting that perception.
Under his tenure the endowment raised an additional $800,000,000. Assuming a conservative 2% spend-down, that's an additional $16,000,000 per year, forever. If he gets paid $3,00,000 per year, forever that's still $13,000,000 in new money, or using your math - 433 students' tuition.
Thanks! That's enlightening.

Kind of useless with the present day SATA serial interface. The parallel interface is so simple that you can essentially bit bang it but with for the serial interface you really need a controller due to the strict timing.
This is the correct answer. Anything past this point is on the slippery slope.
Sure. But in the context of "X is to programming languages like Latin is to European languages", X=Algol is certainly a better fit then X=Smalltalk.

I completely agree that the premise of the analogy is a stretch, and can accept that people want to reject the premise (it's not quite as bad as "What kind of vegetable are you?"), but I don't see why
fractallyte's claim for Smalltalk is stronger.
It wouldn't give an ISP advantage over other ISPs, but that doesn't matter because ISPs are for the most part regional monopolies. It would give Hulu Plus an advantage over other streaming video services, though.
Well, they can't do that, because it would give the impression that they're tolerating it. Which they are, but they can't leave that impression.
It's not "modern" companies or tech companies... it's the advertisers that run ads on media networks.

I worked as a copywriter for most of my 20s in Manhattan... have a ton of friends at all levels of the business from ad sales to OOH to Facebook.

My friends in TV ad sales always say the same thing when a company or product comes up at a party... "oh, ____ is actually a client of mine, love them, got shit faced the other week at lunch... but I don't buy their product because they're homophobes."

"What?"

"Oh, they're in my Excel sheet of companies that have requested to not be on Bravo... because of the content. too many gay dudes on shows."

I've had plenty of friends that worked in daytime and network ad sales where they literally would get an email with all the "issues" people might have with an upcoming episode of a popular show, when the issues would appear and what slots they can move the commercials into. They then spend the day calling all their advertisers and media buyers so they can go manage expectations and start moving spots around. People have no idea how much deal making has to happen with Fortune 500 company marketing departments and media agencies every time there is something 30% of this country would find offensive such as men kissing... or... men kissing... or someone saying "fuck".

Now, the people at these companies usually aren't actually homophobes... they usually just don't want to anger the far right and the groups that support their beliefs.

Then you get into the creative. I had a very popular underwear company as a client back in the day... part of every shoot was a reminder that we had to play by their rules. If there's a couple in their underwear... they have to both be wearing wedding rings because otherwise Christian groups will complain. This is common in many ads... look for the rings. We even had a Christian football star become a spokesperson for the company... but part of his contract had it so that he couldn't appear in underwear bc of his values and those of his supporters. So we put him in undershirts.

Then you have race and everything else.

But this all comes down to money and those with the money need to start flexing or support other platforms.

I have little confidence in this working in the defense of an ideology that gives the host bad PR or the deplatforming of which would give it good PR, like in the case of The Daily Stormer.

Recent history should make it abundantly clear that private entities feel no obligation to defend noble ideals like freedom of speech, nor should they, being private entities. Paying for their services shouldn't change this meaningfully, especially where even Western governments like Germany's and the UK's are similarly illiberal (in the traditional sense of the word) and pressure those companies to remove "hate speech".
