I have not worked at Google and have no idea what the list in question is, who maintains it, or what it takes to get on said blacklist. Speculation admits a lot of possibilities, including your own, but there's no evidence that managers created that list. It could well be line staff producing and publishing their own list of preferences. As a random example, perhaps a list of known sexual harassers that HR has not acted on, curated by an individual contributor with a victim's right's motive, and shared with at-risk coworkers. In such a situation, a person might legitimately wish to not put themselves in another stressful, high anxiety situation involving harassment.

Either option and many more are possible. All the ones I can think of suggest that Google's hiring and transfer process needs work.

"Safari ships new features on a much slower cadence, but they’re usually solid and always perform incredibly well"

Yeah, that's a major flaw in their research design. In their 120k-hand competition they reset the players' bankroll after each hand in order to have the same number of hands for each trial. This dramatically changes the payoff for aggressive play. The humans were too cautious against the bot, as their experience was in an environment when going bust could end your session.

In real play, going bust* doesn't just lose your current stack, but also all future possible winnings. In their experiment, going bust only loses that stack. Kind of like being a soldier rather than a general, or founder rather than a VC.

* Yes, you can buy in again, but eventually you've exhausted your bankroll.
Wow, you're behind the curve, aren't you.
People in the comment threads seem to be confusing jQuery UI with jQuery. jQuery UI is collection of interactions, effects, and widgets built on the more ubiquitous jQuery library.
The biggest benefit that I've found for jQuery (and a lot of JS libraries) over vanilla is browser compatibility. I generally don't have time to check compatibility of every mildly complex piece of JS I write. Using a library often solves that issue
I think including abandoned server code is odd, and I'm for it. I think we should start curating more public libraries with games in general, but that's going to be very difficult to do publicly (i.e. in a government library) in today's current online landscape. Between walled garden platforms and API integrations to centralized corporate servers, it seems unlikely that many of today's games will survive in their current state for long. More than ever, games frequently update becoming a different game or die to competition. It'd be rewarding to be able to spin up or join a local [Flavor] World of Warcraft server without getting shut down or told to wait for Blizzard to do it because that specific version of software was abandoned at some point. If it became public domain then, it would be available to the public to operate as we please.

I really just look at situations like Halo 2 and think that there's got to be a way to put server code into the public domain so that if someone wants to "rent" Halo 2 server code from the Library so that they can play online on the original hardware and everything, that'd be really cool, and experiences would be able to be shared across generations like books, films, and other forms of art.

In the wild, it seems permanent shut down of an online service is equivalent to forfeiting server code for the dead game over to whomever can acquire it, either for sale, or often times theft in form of sharing among the most hardcore followers. This up-for-grabs situation is a symptom of the problem, and shouldn't be the main focus, but it is worth noting because it can affect Copyright/IP protection. If the company behind the game doesn't want to continue supporting a version of their online game, there needs to be a way to gracefully donate said deprecated version without losing underlying IP rights. It's donated and falls into public domain for operation under some relatively clear license a la books in a library. That'd be cool.
I don't think open source was historically about simply sharing solutions. That is how it is for some people, but not really whole sentiment. First, if it would be just that, there would be much less complains about "freeloading". And part of motivation may be that people were convinced that freeloading is bad, but don't know how to not freeload.

The whole free software branch is all political, ideological with its own attempts to push for its own morals. I remember when quite a few people at school were arguing that writing close source is somehow bad ethically or that open source programmers are by definition better then all weak and bad close source programmers.

Stallman action was essentially political with a lot of heat targeted at perceived enemies. He was angry that licenses prevented him to do what he wanted. There was very clear political goal. If it would be about sharing, things could have been much calmer. Difference between FLOSS and FOSS would not matter either.

Large projects and communities have more then just wish to share behind them. It is too much work and effort to organize and keep them for it to happen randomly.
Then what flavor is it?

With one existence precedes all phenomena.

To make that work for all elements of that class, you could rewrite it as

document.querySelectorAll('.myclass')

The jQuery is still shorter, but the vanilla js is definitely manageable.

And while a degraded battery is nothing that needs to be replaced for free, the manufacturer of the phone probably sunk a lot of time and money into developing a strategy to cope with the phone shutdowns due to a degraded battery. During that process it is hard to imagine that no one ever came up with the notion that maybe it would be a good idea to also notify the user that a serious issue is developing which should be handled some time. After all this is not going to get better since the battery will continue degrading (and probably with increasing rate) if it is not replaced.
> If someone submitted a PR to my project who held openly racist positions, I would deny the PR. No amount of genius or technical merit makes up for that.

In contrast, I, and many other people, would evaluate it on its technical merits and merge it if it was good. It's just code; it inherits no sin from its writer.

But you discriminate against code--not even a person--based on your personal dislike of its writer. Isn't that bigoted?
No, you missed the points. My major point was that we have the source code and nothing changes that. My second point was that I would rather all browser engines work the same and if they can’t then I’d rather just have one popular browser engine.

Despite the non-maliciousness of the easter egg, I do think the act of just installing an extension into a browser could be viewed as a trust-breaker. I think the other "controversies" are overblown, but them remotely installing an extension like that doesn't sit right with me.
> If you can't get to the top of the ladder without spending money, it's p2w.

False, I said that you can get to the top of the ladder without paying although most of the people with the skill are given max decks. If you have top of the ladder skills you will have no trouble grinding tourneys and challenges for tons of free cards and gold.

> Just because there are modes that are not p2w

You just said yourself it's not p2w. These other game modes absolutely do matter, that's where all the competitive focus of the game is.

> The drop rate of legenadaries is so low it took me ~5 months to get a bandit from a free chest... It would take me a few more YEARS to get one to max (level 5),

Legendaries aren't only available as random drops. I've seen the bandit probably a dozen times in the shop. Legendaries also aren't critical or across the board better than other cards, the top 20 cards by ladder win rate at stats royale are all non-legendary and includes 6 commons.

> Also, it wasn't uncommon for newly released cards to be more powerful on ladder than their counterparts (executioner and night witch are big examples), encouraging people to level them up for money, before nerfing said cards when they became more common or other cards were being released.

This seems like cognitive bias, there are also plenty of cards were underpowered on release and had to be buffed, sometimes multiple times, to be competitive (just from legendaries: lumberjack, log, inferno dragon, lava hound, etc.). Balance of new cards isn't perfect, news at 11.

First, check if old person really does want to grind hard on coding. If not, there could be issues that came up or accumulated over time. Burnout is most likely example - how many humans do well staring at code for decades? Not all programmers become more productive over time. Just an anecdote really but surely this is the case for many.

We addressed the ozone depletion problem by banning CFCs. It didn't magically go away. The issue of global warming has yet to be addressed.

You probably recall being told about endangered species when you were a kid too. The fact that they still exist does not indicate that you experienced alarmism but that people actively protected those species.
Even in the 90s there was (for Windows) a basic, simple to use news proxy called Nfilter. I can't remember if it took multiple feeds or just one, but it allowed filtering on more headers than a Usenet client.

Most Usenet clients would filter on the overview headers, which has the advantage that the messages did not have to be downloaded first, so it's much faster (these days that might not be such a issue), but the disadvantage that all a spammer/troll has to do (and did do) was change the From address to bypass the filter.

With Nfilter it was possible to filter on anything, for example crossposts (commonplace with trolls and spammers), NNTP-Posting-Host or even the Path, so a bad Usenet site with nothing but spam or trolls could be completely filtered out or flagged as junk.

The problem is nobody wanted to make even the small effort of running Nfilter (I tried repeatedly to get people to use Nfilter when groups were invaded by trolls but they preferred to just mindlessly continue complaining about it instead).

The author of Nfilter gave up development in the early 2000s, but its site is on Wayback Machine, from where it can be downloaded from its archived page (whether it works on anything later than Windows 95/NT I don't know), along with its source code:

https://web.archive.org/web/20030206100941/http://www.nfilte...

So even without individual users running INN (which seems a bit like overkill to me), users can and always could filter out every type of abusive garbage very easily. They just have to want to do it.
It covers the sober and reasonable cases. I think the main thing this enumeration does is to provide alternatives to the hyperbolic notion of “cryptocurrency/blockchain is taking over the world and even the big investment banks are going in on it”, with either the bullish “this means it’s a real economic revolution” or the bearish “this means we’re at the peak of the bubble and the big banks are losing their minds and threatening the world economy again” subtexts to it.
That's your take from the trenches.

The filter layer above isn't tuned to that message. It's tuned to a message from bean counters/upper management.
You know, it was an honest question asking for clarification, because my observation differs from what’s reported. Feel free to move along if you don’t the answer.
Sorry, my comment might have made it seem like I think it's a bad idea.

Absolutely I think it's great for all the reasons stated above, I just think it would have been a lot better if Windows RT either would have had this at the time (I realize it wasn't ready then and must have been a massive job), or would have been less restricted with the advertised caveat that apps would need to be compiled with ARM support - somewhat akin to how Apple managed the whole PowerPC -> Intel transition with universal binaries back in the day.
There's a question of how you want to play with statistics. Do you want to play with fair dice or dice that give you an advantage? You might be saying to yourself that your storage tactic is still a uniform distribution, but you're forgetting sample size. You're also removing some uncertainty.

So, you can roll dice over and over, but you actually need a lot of samples for the stats to converge. That's why it is called the law of LARGE numbers. It is still possible to roll two 12s in a row on dice, but we wouldn't expect it to be common. By your clumping together, you need to not only store a lot of data, but now your "random" events are dependent rolls and not independent.

Really it is just a question of what you want to do and how you want fairness perceived. Do you want your game to act like dice? Or do you want a slight advantage? BTW,
i2om3r linked the video I was talking about there Meier discusses peoples' perception of fairness. In the end, you have to determine what is best for your game. Maybe stacking the deck makes better gameplay, maybe it doesn't.
Unless something major changes, public domain will never happen again. Corporations such as Disney will continuously lobby to extend it to cover their older works.

A few years ago i learned about a company (well, a couple) trying to make 3D-printed orthotics (back braces and so on) for children, based on scans of their bodies:

http://andiamo.io/

The key thing is reducing the turnaround time; at the moment, the lag between a child getting measured and getting the orthotic means they've grown out of it by the time they get it.
> It uses an insane amount of power. Wars are fought over the resources to generate that power all the time

There has been a lot of exaggeration around the amount of power used for mining. It's less that the energy used to run Google, Facebook, and many industrial applications and certainly not remotely comparable to the bulk of oil consumption in 1st world countries.

(Don't get me wrong: I'm not a fan of Bitcoin and I don't use cryptocurrencies.)

> You could argue that the governments of the world are indirectly subsidizing crypto by using war to maintain a stable source of energy.
> Sorry. Bitcoin, nor any blockchain, cannot function without the all mighty government.

This is a complete strawman. You just conflated the efforts being spent by countries to protect their entire wealth including stocks, gold, fiat money, derivatives with the efforts to access energy sources.

They use very different approaches (deep learning versus clever game-tree pruning). It's not clear how to tell which of them is the stronger program. Both teams seem to think that theirs is stronger, but I think only Libratus (the pruning-based approach) has beaten top poker pros in a tournament.
>The left has not taken over anything.

I specifically said that the dominant culture is left - and it most certainly is, not the economic order.

Virtually every major newspaper in every major city is left-leaning, almost every single cable news network, and all the major tech giants, who are a gateway to content, are undeniably liberal. And academia...well that goes without saying - half are card carrying communists, while the other half are in the ballpark.

In fact, it's heresy to even be conservative at most major tech companies.

When the Iraq WMD situation unfolded, it was met with plenty of skepticism. “MSM” gave it air time, but it was overcome by the deception of the administration at the time, e.g., Sec. Powell’s statements and the cherry-picked CIA assessment.

Your example actually undermines your argument.

This goes for nations that experience interference from the US as well. It makes sense that Iranian society should protect itself from covert US attempts at influence.

It's interesting that the author chose PWA's as their example.

The "Progressive" in Progressive Web Application means that web sites progressively become more app-like as they use certain APIs like Service Workers, but it also means that PWAs progressively become more app-like on browsers that support those APIs.

A site can go all-in on the PWA-related APIs and cause absolutely no degradation in experience on browsers like Safari. Safari doesn't support Service Workers, ignores parts of the manifest, doesn't allow PWA installation? It's fine, your app is just a normal website on Safari.
