This is almost my single favourite thing with the Switch. Not played Mario for almost week, I pick it up and bang, I'm right back where I left off in less than a second. Even my wife commented how great this was after seeing endless load bars on other platforms - download/update system firmware.... download/update game.... watch logos / intro videos... find/load save point... loading screen...

I don't play many games. I played my share of Xbox One but the last console I bought myself was an Xbox 360 on launch day.

I just got a Switch and ... wow. What a fantastic piece of tech that's unique in every way. Every design decision is so thoughtful and it all "just works". Playing Breath of the Wild is more fun than any game I can remember. I feel like a kid with a new toy for the first time since I was an actual kid.

First make sure if it’s your decision. Maybe the idea is worth pursuing but would bring financial ruin to you or make your family suffer? Or has some consequences that would be difficult to reverse, like getting a reputation of insane/maniac?
Sometimes. There's lots of variations though, some companies only offer specific trim levels, others appear to offer individual options but then you'll run into "That option is only available options x, y, and z, and is not compatible with w. Include x, y, z and remove w?".
> solicit large donations from individuals who cannot afford such donations.

This makes no sense. Either Dad should take back the credit card or adults can make their own decisions. Either way, I can’t see how that would have anything to do with the person streaming the video asking for cash!

I mean, argue that cute girls have it easy getting cash for titilating their viewers. Argue that Twitch isn’t for tits. But arguing that boobs made someone spend money they couldn’t afford is just debasing to men everywhere.
Thanks for this. I was able to find a relative who I suspected would have been an associate of Jack Ruby. I wanted to search for him before, but without OCR, it would have been a needle in a haystack.

While it wasn't anything significant to others, it was a neat bit of family history for me.

In case anybody was interested, my relative wasn't investigated because of a link to Jack Ruby after all, but he was mentioned by other informants.
Wasn't there a thread on here a while back about a lady who was doing tech/nerdy 3D printing and maker videos, taking tons of criticism simply because she happened to be good looking while doing them? This seems like an oddly similar mind-set: You can't do game videos because you're sexy. What??
Is that a legitimate analogy? My understanding is that the number of qbits of a quantum computer are not fairly compared to the number of classical bits needed in order to make a useful computation.
Because you’re relying on a web of trust. You obviously won’t trust me directly. But you’ll trust me indirectly because I only need to gain the trust of someone in your web at which point the authors expect me to be able to engage in currency exchange to find a coin you’ll honor.

And at the end of the day, it’s unclear why you wouldn’t want my FakeAccount coins. Once I’m in your web of trust, you can spend my coins like any other trusted currency.

The authors seem to believe it’s the users’ responsibility to somehow police this when the users in this case just want a medium of exchange and derive little to no value from excluding my fake coins.
> It probably isn't, but isn't that awful, too?

Sure, but it's something we've been doing for decades. And I can't really blame parents for keeping kids occupied the easy way for a few hours at a time.
I've been working my way through Mario Odyssey and I have the same observations: the care and attention to detail is hugely impressive. The game deserves all the positive attention it's been getting from reviewers.

Sure - maybe the wrong forum, but the depressive sentiment that our sore thumb ideals are hammered down by the social media monster is mutually felt and quite inline with the article. No one knows exactly what it is like to be you, but many of us feel a similar desire to do more than use our best skills for the mundane - to alter the conversation is a nobel aspiration.

I too struggle with knowledge that I am bright, but that I may not be quite bright enough to be what I really want. Its a frustrating and lonely thought many of us in this field share. Expressing it though - even writing it in a public forum - is often an invite to the social monsters that prowl around here to say "then you obviously aren't that bright". Don't listen. Walk your path.

Just do your best and understand that luck and good timing means more than hard work and brilliance (ask any lotto winner). To say anything else is a like a banner ad for survivorship bias. None of us matter much in the scheme of things and all radical ideas are seen as trash to those "in the know" at some point.

I'm not blaming parents. This is a collective problem. We killed Joe Camel; we can kill other ads designed to mess with kids' brains, too.
This sort of assumes there were a bunch of peers who all started out even and he was the winner. In reality it's more a case of fortunate timing.
I jumped on the wait list when they announced it but really want to wait for some thorough reviews before I drop $800 on a pair of them. I'm baffled as to why they didn't send out review units to major publishers before releasing them for general availability.
> This is really not true. If the idea is so novel that people can’t understand and want it when you pitch it to them, building it is not going to help.

In my experience that isn't true at all. I have often found that new ideas are often met with a lack of care but sometimes contempt or even disgust. People being emotionally threatened by new ideas is actually a thing and there is nothing you can do about it except fast forward to the future when those people have gotten past their inner conservatism.

It is so incredibly rare that something screamingly original is met with a positive reaction, likely because there is no positive frame of reference on which to build enthusiasm. The only time I have any luck in this area is when I pitch my original ideas to people who are extreme experts around in that area such that the idea isn't a creative stretch for them.

Even when I build the new thing the positive reactions are, at first, exceedingly rare. A new idea doesn't become popular until it is endorsed by popular people or by early adopters who enjoy experimenting with wild unknowns. People generally need to be told something new is good before they can reach that conclusion themselves, but when it does happen it happens like a flood.

Based upon these experiences I don't dick around with pitches. Unless you really REALLY need a favor from somebody you are just wasting your time, time that could be better spent just building the new thing.

> Social media merely amplifies who people are. How one handles this amplification determines the utility one derives from social media.

In a world where most people are, - for the lack of a better term, - idiots, any eaglitarian amplification technology has a negative net value added to society.

This is specially true if the meanest and biggest idiots are celebrated and emulated by the kind-of-not-so-bad majority of citizens.

Ah! So, you're using the Wikipedia definition of left-wing. And, you're also using it in the context of American politics.

So, members of the left ("leftists"), i.e. Democrats, must be support "social equality and egalitarianism." Oh wait, but both the left and the right claim to support those things in modern 21st century America... That's probably because our left and right do not conform to the Wikipedia definition...

We can use the Wikipedia definition of what left and right is, but it's not helpful at all in the context of the modern American political spectrum. So, again, "leftist" is only used to describe opposition to the right, which is also how it's used colloquially in modern America... It's not a useful adjective for describing an actual system of beliefs.

To be honest, you're just intellectually being lazy...
> Well, let's wait until we're out of (cheaply mined) resources...

At that point I think we'll be mining landfills. But yes, the disposable, replace everything, super short refresh cycle has to end. My wife just got rid of her Nexus 4 from 2012 - a five year run. Is that good enough or can we get them to go longer?
Eh, huge difference between "can't" and "won't". I feel confident in assuring you that they likely can imagine such futures, and likely do but with perhaps with extremely limited scope. The machinery is all there, and is probably working, even if they don't recognize it as such.

Also, like decision making in general, it's a skill that requires practice to improve.

I have reduced commenting on HN because I get downvoted.

But not only I am a proud capitalist I do support Mr. Pai's stance on this particular issue. I think people on HN are getting swayed by the word "net neutrality" too much are not looking at the actual rules. Putting government in charge of what should flow on a wire is strictly worse than letting your ISPs decide it. Secondly, there is no evidence that letting ISPs have that freedom is actually a license to make more money. The ISPs and other companies might come up with interesting new services which we today do not know about but might take for granted in future.

Sure, but don't we think they'll be ... colored by Nazi ideology? Was the US really happy to think that anyone who the Nazis think is a communist and a threat to the Reich is someone that they should also consider a communist and a threat to the republic? Barely two years after sending half a million soldiers to die because this country was too evil that we needed to pay any cost to defeat them? After discovering the Holocaust, which we didn't know about when we made that decision and only learned about as we found the piles of dead bodies? We're not only interested in their intelligence, we trust the Gestapo's judgment?

I mean, I guess at some level I always knew the answer was yes, but this is pretty blatant.
The question is, how long will it be until YouTube adjusts its search and recommendation algorithms to penalize this type of title spam?
I would say WoW, Facebook, Reddit, HN etc all use that little bit of dopamine hit to keep people “playing” as long and as often as possible.

I say that have started play WoW again after several years off and dumping Reddit this evening.

Both of the can be enjoyable places and there are some really good Reddit communities, but it can be be just as addictive.

I've written large, important things in C++, Kotlin, Scala, Java, Go, Javascript, PHP, etc... PHP in 2017 is great. PHP 7 is nice to use. Laravel is one of the best frameworks I've used. We have applications making millions of dollars a year running on a couple containers running Laravel 5 at my current job.

It's not a perfect language, but none are. I think some people are just jealous of how little setup/barrier to entry there is for PHP ;)
Sure it's not that sex appeal focused streamers are never in the game categories but it is much rarer than it used to be. The IRL category has helped by moving the majority of all these streamers to one place where you can go watch them if that's your thing.

All that is needed is for Twitch mods to be a bit more active in retagging such streams to IRL instead of the game category. In general I think that they are doing a great job. You used to see a lot more League of Legends streams where a female host dressed in a revealing outfit had her cam much larger than the gameplay and it was clearly more focused on sex appeal than gameplay, but that type of stream is now mostly cordoned off in IRL.

A simple rule like "streamer camera can only take up X% of the screen, and gameplay must take up at least Y% of the screen" otherwise it gets retagged as an IRL stream solves the issue.
There very best ideas create capabilities that the customer didn't even know they wanted or needed.
No, not because she "happened to be good looking", because she does many videos half naked. You cannot even link to her Twitter or Youtube without a [NSFW] tag. Why do you feel the need to use such a disingenuous framing?

The Twitch streamers in question are also creating what amounts to softcore pornography. They aren't making game videos, they are just using Twitch as an alternative to other adult camsites. That's the whole problem.

That's a pretty classic example really. I know Flickr had some awkward interactions with a foot fetishist community that took up residence there, because they didn't reeeally post anything that violated the terms of service, they were just kind of creepy about it.
It's generally hard to prove a negative, but for this topic simply not having a DPI machine on your network resolves most of the question - route the packet and be done. The remaining constructive hazard is easily analyzed by whether specific links are habitually overwhelmed or not - private peering and edge cache boxen are optimizations, with the service yardstick still being the generic full Internet routes.
Global rates for software developers are roughly about $25-$100 an hour. $100/hour is more for people with specialist experience in the US time zone. There are people willing to go cheaper than $25/hour, but you'll be a blur among people who are willing to work fo $4/hour.

But usually there are local rates as well based on your country. These are somewhat pegged to the international rates past a certain level of quality. These can be lower than international rates.

Sometimes you can squeeze an even higher price out of a local contract because you'd add the benefit of more strongly understanding the problem, better communication in terms of time zone, language, and face to face interaction. Plus there's some security in meeting a person face to face.
I agree that it isn't fair, but that's also just how it goes. I get blamed all the time for poor decisions made by my group, even if I agree that they are poor decisions.

>METHODOLOGY: The numbers on this page are based on contributions from donors (individuals as well as corporations and unions that give directly from their treasuries) to outside groups and from PACs (including super PACs) and individuals giving more than $200 to candidates and party committees. In many cases, the organizations themselves did not donate; rather the money came from the organization's PAC, its individual members or employees or owners, and those individuals' immediate families. Organization totals include subsidiaries and affiliates.

Basically any conclusions drawn from this data are completely useless as presented. Yet, its cited as clear evidence of corruption.
Somewhat, I guess. Sports are generally exciting when live though. None of this stuff making money on YouTube is live. I don't really watch sports either, unless I am attending a sporting event in person.

>With the Google Assistant built in, Max is always ready to start your favorite song, pause or turn it up, all with just your voice.

Does it mean that it's constantly recording every conversation within its field of reach and uploading it to Google servers where the A.I. could tell whether it's a request to play a song, a keyword to show you more targeted ads or an insight into your private life that could be stored and sold on later when an interested buyer shows up?
I think it's a simple low pressure way to engage with something. As a kid I used to watch my older brother play SNES, and I think this in a way kinda follows that. You get to tag along for the journey without the fear of failure. I do worry that the ability to just absorb others' social interactions/experiments/failures will lead to less risk-taking kids, but there's probably an element of it that we as adults can't grasp without the same amount of free time that kids have.

It's interesting - I recently taught year six kids computer programming as part of an outreach program though where I work, and all of the kids wanted to know two things: if I could hack things, and most importantly, what my twitch name was and if I streamed. They all watched things together - it was a social hangout for them. Really interesting dynamic.

I have a couple of projects in mind that I hope will improve my portfolio.

As for finishing the PhD, it's a long process, and I am still in the early stages. The way I see it, it's basically a calculated risk; i.e., will the PhD pay off in the long run?

The thing is, I'm not sure what the answer to that question is. Academic positions are highly competitive, and even if you do get one, the road to tenure is a long and difficult one. Also, unless you are a top-1% PhD graduate, you are still going to be spending another 2-3 years as postdoc (~$50-60k salary).

Yeah that was my question. I was racking my head thinking of when this window.location.href wouldn't refer to what a program would want given how it almost acts like a global function in some ways (e.g. `window.location.href="http://example.com"` can be used to change the page). Maybe currentUrl is supposed to be a wrapper just incase window.location.href changes (which seems highly unlikely but again, I'm out of the loop with modern JS).
