You think that allowing poor people to buy and eat expired and spoiled food is a good idea? You would get an epidemic and pay at least 10 times more and one person eating bad stuff could infect an entire village, so I disagree we should allow selling bad food, the companies would find ways to sell rotten flesh if it was legal and they would make some cool commercials and packaging for it.
The thing with Abandonware/orphan works legislation is that a lot of the people most opposed to it aren't those you would think. Disney doesn't care that much. Their lawyers aren't going to forget to renew a copyright. Rather, it's various professional societies representing photographer, authors, etc. who figure that the individual creator or their estate will let copyright lapse through inaction and big media will come in and snatch up their work at no cost.

I'm definitely on board with copyright terms being too long and, in most cases, "abandonware" doesn't have a lot of value for the original creator anyway, but abandonware isn't primarily a big corp issue.
Unfortunately, querySelectorAll returns a NodeList, not an Array. So you cannot use forEach() on it.
Depends on who your target audience is.

Germany for example uses 38.22% Chrome and 31.11% Firefox on Desktops. No way you can speak about a de facto standard here.

I, as an end user, don't know about industry standards for screws, magnet strips or pipelines either, but that doesn't make them less important.

We already tried giving a commercial company free reign in this regard, with Microsoft and it's Internet Explorer, and it did not end well. I see no reason to try this again.

Standards also just make it easier for new players to enter the browser market, instead of having to reverse engineer how Google does stuff, so Standards even help with competition.

I will happily discuss current shortcomings of the W3C and standardization process in general, but we shouldn't repeat the past.
I hope that the appearance of odds will make it clear that these loot boxes are just a form of gambling, and as such they should not be allowed for under-18s. In most countries, it is an offence to target gambling at minors, and you must do reasonable checks to prevent them from playing.

The threat of losing a large proportion of their customers would hopefully dissuade some companies from including gambling in their games.
Kickbots in WoW are annoying as hell too.
Don’t forget to repackage them! I’ve heard that doing so, and partitioning the resulting basket up dilutes the risk and makes them higher quality!

Most of the polyfills these days are pretty much syntax sugar & ES6 transpiling. If you do your code in non ES6 plain JS way, I'm quite sure the IDE will give you the benefits that you receive with jQuery.
Small correction. I think that the average WoW player's age is well above 30 at this point.
"Chancellor on brink of second bailout"...The animals, watching through the window, realize with a start that, as they look around the room of the farmhouse, they can no longer distinguish which of the cardplayers are pigs and which are human beings.
It will have almost no impact at this point. It's not highly levered or used as collateral in the financial industry. There's no coupling between BTC and the rest of the financial industry.
Prove it or show code! This statements sounds like a conspiracy theory.
Cool, I've been looking for this as well.
Safari has definitely been holding back PWAs though, because they're the gatekeeper of feature on iOS.

I've personally had meetings with teams would would love to adopt PWAs over their existing native apps, but can't due to Safari. I'm excited that it looks like that will change very soon!
Both you and your parent comment can be true. The economy may be doing terribly relative to other European countries, but if Greece values quality of life over economic development, then this wouldn't be terribly surprising.
It's not a new fee, IRS gave guidance on this already in 2014. The bill just updates the language more specifically.

Believing crypto-crypto trades would be like-kind was always pretty fanciful thinking.
I would be interested in seeing the number of startups that fail due to technical debt. My instinct is that most startups fail for business reasons (no clear need, not enough/right sales, poor management, bad pitch, solving the wrong problem, etc).
> The lower depreciation of an iPhone compared to any comparable smartphone is directly correlated to the quality of the iPhone

That is not true, nor has it ever been for phones or cars. People buy each for all kinds of reasons: status symbols, ideals, etc. iPhones demonstrably do not retain their value as demonstrated by this battery fiasco.

After-Market value != quality
> Ultimately, you can't, and shouldn't decouple someone's work from the person themselves.

This is a bizarre and grossly impractical idea. Do you interrogate everyone who sells you anything? Who prepares and serves your food at a restaurant? Who delivers your packages? If you don't, you are being a hypocrite. And if we all did that, society and economy would grind to a halt. You are truly an extremist and a totalitarian.

> We ought to feel ashamed when we support someone who's beliefs and actions are reprehensible.

By that logic, I would feel ashamed to support you. Nevertheless, I would accept your code if it were well-written, because I am tolerant of views differing from my own.
One of the researchers on this team gave a great talk at NIPS this year about this work and explained how playing an imperfect information game like poker is fundamentally different from playing a perfect information game like chess or go. A perfect information game has no path dependence --- once you arrive at a state, it doesn't matter how you got there. You only need to consider the current state of the game to figure out the best move to play.

In an imperfect information game this is no longer true. Now you need to consider counterfactuals --- how would the opponent have played if I had done something different earlier?

They illustrated with a toy game they called "Coin Toss". The idea is that Player A flips a coin, but Player B doesn't get to see the result. Player A then gets to choose whether to end the game there or continue playing. If they end the game, they get $1 from Player B if the coin is heads and lose $1 from Player B if the coin is tails. If they decide to continue playing, then Player B gets to guess whether the coin is heads or tails. If Player B guesses correctly, they get $2 from Player A, and otherwise lose $2.

If you spend some time thinking about the strategy, you can figure out that the best strategy for Player B is to guess heads 25% of the time and tails 75% of the time. But if you change the rules to the game for Player A, so that they get $1 if it's tails and lose $1 if it's heads, then the best strategy for Player B reverses as well --- now Player B should guess heads 75% of the time and tails 25% of the time. Yet nothing about Player B's situation has changed --- the only change happened prior to Player B's involvement. Yet this nevertheless changes Player B's strategy because Player B must consider how Player A would have acted given that the coin landed heads vs. tails.

So to solve these imperfect information games, you have to be very careful to model these sorts of counterfactuals. If you mess up you will leave yourself with an exploitable strategy --- that is, someone can devise a strategy that causes you to lose the game.

The essential property of bitcoin versus every other currency is that in an essential way it is deflationary: there are only so many bitcoins. It's not minted by fiat.

This is the essential property it shares with gold. So if we use worldwide gold market cap to set some kind of standard, why shouldn't we use certificates as is used for gold?

By the way, again excuse my ignorance, but what keeps gold certificates from being inflationary? Why can't Goldman Sachs physically own 100 gold bars, and sell me a certificate for 50, you a certificate for 50, and Tom a certificate for 50? Where is the limit? After all, they have enough money to buy gold on the market even if you, I, and Tom all ask them for the physical gold at once. What keeps them from inflating gold certificates out of thin air?
I think we're talking past each other and agree that people won't look for the probability or, even if they see it, won't care.

I am not assuming people look it up. I'm just pointing out this isn't really changing anything because people who would look at it or care, already could look at it often... but most people won't, so the change of requiring apps to show it in the app matters basically not at all.
I usually don’t use the debugger to debug language features, but rather my own logic. It’s very useful to step and inspect parameters when you can’t really see your own logic errors.
The true cost of playing is hidden. It's obfuscated behind a very complex set of systems. It's optimized to hide the true cost from the player as much as possible.

It's problematic. It makes players feel bad, in retrospect, when they realize that they've spent more than they would have wanted to spend at the outset.

I would hate for the loot box model to move beyond video games. Can you imagine going to the store and having to buy a mystery box filled with groceries, which you may or may not need or want? Gosh that would be horrible. Not that it would happen but, still. I feel like we should encourage a society with clear prices on specific, concrete products. I give you $10, you promise me specific thing X. If I don't actually get X I can ask for a refund, or I can sue you even if it turns out you're acting in bad faith, etc. Loot box systems don't seem to transact in good faith.

Easily imagined. But he's the CEO; the spokesperson for the company. Its an entirely different bar.

And he didn't get lynched; he just lost a job. Like so many gay people when they are outed. My sympathy for the guy is nearly zero.
Yeah, but now you're trying to time the market. That's... a less than optimal strategy.
NodeList also implements forEach:

Similarly, I'm amazed by Pycharm (IDE), which supports pretty good inferred type hints from debugging and static code anlysis, btw. Makes writing code a lot easier. Looking forward to trying MonkeyType, it seems awesome for lager projects.
Well part of that is how we define bubble, since it can only be post hoc, then by definition a bubble is bad since you're going to lose your money when it pops.

But basically it's because we don't try to time the market in that sort of way. Bubbles are great if you can sell right when you need to and (1) Bitcoin is fucking godawful at that and (2) we don't want to try and do that. Better to invest long term and ride an economic wave.

Timing in the sense of "we think European stock are going to do well so we'd likely to slightly increase the allocation across our portfolios" is alright but timing in the sense of "we think we can buy a new type of highly volatile asset with no underlying fundamentals and which doesn't fit neatly into any of our extant asset classes and sell it before it goes bad even though we can't do the same thing with regular old GE stock" is really bad.

Think of it this way, would you ever put 2% of your IRA on a roll of the craps wheel? No, because that's not what that account is for.

EDIT: Maybe a better example would be like buying TSLA options. You wouldn't do that in a portfolio because it's volatility for basically no reason.
Not to mention there are an infinite number of 5 minute tutorials on YouTube. You don't have to be trained, you just need a set of eyes and a brain. I'm glad an increasing number of phone manufacturers, not just Apple, put form factor and durability above user laziness.
There was a global effort to eliminate causes of ozone layer depletion. It took a significant amount of political will and resources to ensure that we'd get to the point we are at today[1].

The people crying wolf back then prevented us from depleting the ozone layer.

Eich wasn't “virtually lynched”. Serious questions about his credibility in adhering to values some people expected of Mozilla were raised, creating a PR issue for Mozilla which he was evidently incapable of managing. Mm

This is in no way similar to a lynching, and one must be extraordinarily sheltered to find them similar.
This is an amazing idea! Have you thought about exploring to see if we can overload CSI to accomplish something like this? https://github.com/kubernetes/community/blob/master/contribu...
I enjoyed Outliers when I read it a while ago, but have since realised it's just a bunch of anecdotes.
Google, Amazon, Microsoft and IBM all offer managed kubernetes.
It's a very recent addition. IE11 doesn't have it for sure.

People who avoid that usually have nothing to tell.
Our current understanding of physics is extremely accurate at predicting almost everything we know about. Dark/matter/energy are theories to explain one area physics doesn't easily explain right now, the orbital velocity of stars in galaxies. But excess matter/energy would explain it fine.

One video that's easily misinterpreted is not enough to overturn any physical law we currently understand.
Had the same problem - they told me I‘d have to wait up to 8 weeks for them to return my phone. I instead chose to pay a local repair shop €50 to swap the battery within 30 minutes. For €80 they would have used an original Apple battery replacement.
It's like a credit card offer that says you're pre-approved, but when you apply you get declined and your credit score drops significantly.
Non-executive means that the person is not an employee of the company.
To expand on this a bit: I recall seeing that, if at the end of each year, you moved your money into the mutual fund that had the highest return during that year, in the next year you would have averaged -40% returns. Negative 40%.

Yeah, this isn't a mutual fund. Yeah, it's not directly applicable. But chasing previous returns is a way to lose money, not gain it.
They got burned by doing the same with subprimes, selling securities to clients who requested them but in which they did not believe themselves (and were shorting at the same time). This sort of move carries a significant reputation risk. I am sure not everyone at GS believes in crypto-currencies, there must be a lot of internal emails in the style "this is a pyramid scheme", "this thing will crash", etc... Reminds me a lot of 2007.
It's not entirely clear to me whether "making markets" means on exchanges, or over the counter. The term normally means on an exchange; over the counter, you're a dealer rather than a market maker.

If it's on exchanges, then it has nothing to do with high net worth clients, or any other kind of client, because they won't be trading with their clients specifically, they'll be trading with other market participants.

if it's OTC, then it could be part of a package of services for clients. That would still a bit weird, though, because a bank would normally act as a broker rather than a dealer for its clients - going to the market and finding them the best price, rather than making its own price.

I think that their reason is much simpler: they think they can make money doing it. I guess you could call that FOMO. But basically, they think that with their trading instincts, technology, and famously huge brains, they can move their prices around so that they can buy low and sell high without getting, as we say in the trade, their faces ripped off.
You have a problem discovering people in real life if you have niche interests -- I was talking to a gay grad student and he explained how isolating it is outside major cities. Relying on organic social dynamics to do their job will get you nowhere. The chief concern for projects like this is can they gain enough traction to be useful. Also it's unhealthy to have expectations of absolute privacy, in private communication you rely that the contents are not leaked from one party -- with data driven platforms you give a little piece of information in return for a service. Hell, half the businesses on here can only work because it's possible to market to niche groups and for niche interests. This is peacetime if you ignore what is effectively a low intensity conflict for the West happening in the Middle East. If the country you are living in was mobilized for war you would have zero expectations for anything, individual concerns of autonomy are irrelevant at that point and with very good reason -- no gains made for individual privacy would remain in that situation anyways. The 'secret police' doesn't care since they are concerned with the willing and unwilling agents of other countries 'secret police' -- there are plenty of targets to fry before they ever bother with you, aiding and abetting their primary concerns is a quick way to move yourself up the list.
Not in Edge though.
Over 1.1 Million possibly affected and they dump this just before the holidays when people are not paying attention. It's beyond time there were actual penalties for this kind negligence.
To be fair, I don't think your comparison to the craps wheel is fair. From a risk level, it's probably less risky than any form of angel investing.
If they can't influence the money supply, but can influence its price, what difference does it make?
> Bigots, sexists, racists, and hate groups of all stripes use free speech and the idea of censorship as a way to distract from the fact that they're putting into action what they pretend to only debate.

This action/position thing is really tired by now. It was all the rage when Eich was being lynched. I was there, I remember. It wasn't logical then, and it isn't logical now. You would deny your political opponents the ability to effectively participate in the political process. That's undemocratic.

> There is no room for hate speech and bigotry in tech

By that logic, there's no room for you in tech. You should really do some serious reflection.
If your first line is also about the Mr. Robot thing: it was opt-in. Yes, the code was there, and it was listed as an extension (which reasonably caused people to think they caught a virus or something), but no code was actually being executed. You had to explicitly enable that yourself in about:config. (And because that is often not mentioned, it's portrayed as a privacy issue, which is a shame because it's inaccurate and damages trust more than it should.)
I have used jQuery UI for its "sortable" interaction. It did the job. I would use it again. Is there any alternative anyway?
Well one issue is that an online game may be subject to multiple licenses. One example I do know of is Asheron's Call. There were some attempts to get it and its sequel. However there were licenses to Microsoft to consider and other third parties. Hence the "owner" of the game could not simply turn it over to the public.

I know, just rip out what is otherwise covered by another license or copyright. Well not only would that take time but it may leave the code in a state beyond repair.
Why would anyone want to dive under their test drone they briefly hovered in the ocean?

Floating Nation Scheduled for 2020, Would you live here?
Any idea what could possibly help prevent these sorts of things in the future? Could some runtime encryption like Intel SGX or Fortanix help?

(Disclaimer: no ownership in either)
If the older game did not employ any kind of encryption of the data stream, isn't it open season to reverse engineer? So many of these are shut down by trademark licensing and artwork copyrights?
Server-side rendering of React applications is a pretty good reason to use Clojure on node as your server. Definitely not my preference of runtime but it does make this (quite common) use case substantially simpler for at least small- to medium-sized apps.
Interesting.

This is a tangent about that article, as I hadn't read it before, but I live in that part of Brooklyn, have for a few years.

Last year on J'ouvert, 2 people were shot about two and a half blocks from my apartment building. This happened every J'ouvert until this most recent one. I'm fine with the extra police presence for that one. When I moved in, there were drug dealers on every corner, including mine. Going to work, I had to go past their pitbulls in the morning or walk in the street as they all crowded the sidewalk. That ended a few months ago.

I've seen more police, and more police called for things like a drunk beating up and robbing another drunk where that used to just be let go - it's not all minor crimes, it's an attitude change as people move in that don't expect to have dangerous people and violence around them. Sure, they shouldn't necessarily call the cops on the guy barbecuing in the street at midnight, but honestly? I don't think it's a really bad thing.
Yeah I thought about that so I edited the comment to compare to TSLA options, bad timing, should've thought more before I submitted. To be fair though, it's my opinion that angel investing is also basically a craps wheel but I might be in the minority on this board in that opinion.
> Counterexample: The Four Color Theorem (which states that any 2-dimensional map can be colored with four colors such that no two bordering countries have the same color).

There exists a proof of the Four Color Theorem by Georges Gonthier that has been verified in Coq:

He certainly was. I was there and I remember it very well. Twitter and the media went nuts, demanding he be fired.

How would you suggest he should have "managed" it? Mm.

It exactly is, and there's no need for you to turn to personal attacks against me.
