I don't have much issue finding them on steam.

Sometimes I look through new releases, and if I see something I like, try it out and review it. Yes, this is often filled with lots of bad games. Other times I look through new games on a given category, and only pay attention to the ones positively rated. This gets rid of all the shovel ware.

But most often when I am looking at a new indie game, I have gotten the recommendation from somewhere else. Often friends or reddit.

I can't think of a better system that would allow something like alpha Minecraft of Dwarf Fortress while stopping shovel ware. I've even found some RPG maker games that were great, but can be impossible to tell apart from all the bad ones. Maybe it exists, but centralized curation is not it.

Also, the current system allows those who want centralized curation to have it. You just follow self appointed curators you like. The benefit is that if you stop liking them or want to follow more than one, you are free to. You can't just pretend all the games they don't curate don't exist, which is what happens if there was a centralized curation in place.
You see what you want to see. If you think it’s such a crime ridden place horrible, when really every place in the first world deals with the same issues, then fine. I choose to see it for what it is, it’s not anarchy here, things are just fine
Then you'll have to rely on your family. I have an elderly neighbor with no money/family and it's quite depressing. She often can't feed herself or clean her apartment due to chronic pain. She's bipolar, suffers from COPD, and lives in filth. She can't afford any kind of assisted living, and has to rely on her rapidly diminishing friends (who're old and dying) to help her get through the day.
I took one for the team, and clicked. It goes here:

https://www.amazon.com/dp/039324931X/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_ep_dp_t7...

Interesting that the shortened link is http, while the destination is https. Is that usual?

Ah, and I just noticed that a.co goes directly to amazon.com, so I suppose it's their own shortner. Of course I didn't know that before I clicked.
What would "Bank of the James" for me if I'm stuck in England with a declined or broken card?

Probably fix the problem faster than Wells Fargo, that’s what they’d do. I’ve never even given thought to using the credit card from my Pacific Northwest credit union anywhere I like, and I have no reason to think otherwise. You’re worry about a problem I’ve seen no evidence of being an actual problem.
Point 1 resonated with me (and its value outweighs that of the others by an order of magnitude IMO):

> When the plan is foggy, that’s the moment to communicate as broadly as possible. In fact you should not frame it as a plan, you frame it as the situation and the final state you want to achieve. When you have a detailed plan, that’s when you DON’T need to communicate broadly. So, clearly state the situation and clearly state the foggy goal to everyone who will listen.

This is a great way to clarify a complex problem, draw out and resolve disagreements in understanding, enlist others’ help, and methodically arrive at the optimal solution. It also works well for all kinds of problems, whether they be engineering-related, organizational, or interpersonal.
its very easy to just not install google play services on any non-stock rom. there doesn't seem to be much that is 'security-focused' about copperhead besides that decision.... i would definitely recommend lineage over this, as it has a much larger development community & works on a much wider range of devices
What are the chances that a new tv will break during a 3-day trade show? I'm going to be generous and guess it's less than 10%. If the conference bought TVs for everyone, plus an extra 20% to cover the ones that break with extra breathing room, it would cost $600 to get a TV.

This assumes the conference throws out the TVs at the end. The rental company is supposed to be able to amortize these costs over years of renting the same TV. Even at the 10% breakage rate, you'd expect to rent a TV 9 times before it breaks on the 10th rental. This should allow you to rent a TV for closer to $50 plus labor and a little margin for profit. That's why renting is usually much cheaper than buying and not slightly cheaper than buying 2.
The scenario I envisioned was that these things were opened before being sold; if we're talking about unopened ones the answer should be relatively easy to find.
> And they can run. It is not uncommon in 2017 to see 300+ pound linemen that can run quite fast. Michael Oher, the subject of the Michael Lewis book _The Blind Side_[2] is 6'4", has an actual weight of 320+ pounds, and is described to move very quickly on the basketball court.

I guess the obvious comeback is that they don't also have to pace themselves for 80 minutes. There are some very fast men in Rugby but they have to trade on stamina, and strength too as everyone has to defend.

> the size of normal rugby players. And are faster

There is a huge variation in size and builds in Rugby too. 200lbs is about the minimum now (was less) for backs. 266lbs is probably the max now. Height wise 5'7" to 6'8" is the normal range. George North[0] for instance is 238lbs 6ft 4 and runs the hundred metres in around 11 seconds with his compromise physique. They tend to aim for a very fast 40m time as it is all about breaking the defensive line in Rugby. Other smaller players clock in mid 10's for 100m, again the physique is too compromised to run at full olympic pace. They are expected to tackle the big guys for a full 80 minutes. There have been genuine sprinters in Rugby, I think of Carlin Isles in particular who was a novelty in the cut down game of Rugby 7's (7 rather than 15 players, shorter in duration and designed to encourage a running game). He didn't make any headway in the full game however for the reasons above.

> And are faster
> It is not uncommon in 2017 to see 300+ pound linemen that can run quite fast

Apart from my comments about the compromise in physique required to run and tackle for 80 minutes, this just makes me believe more an more that their performances are otherwordly or at least enhanced.

> launch themselves into opponents at full speed

Which if they were not both wearing padding would result in two broken players. If you watch how a Rugby player tackles one of the fast guys, it is a much more dynamic move without sudden deceleration. You have to deflect and unbalance, not body check. It still looks cool, you shouldn't be concerned that it will hurt the spectacle of the NFL.

For one the "fake" impressions represent actual revenue brought into the ecosystem that's taken out by fakers aka fraudulent parties aka criminals. Banks don't want to be funding criminals.
I agree with the premises this article is getting at but keep in mind that word of mouth and online connections are not mutually exclusive. Sure my friend might say that for example his financial advisor is good, after which I will check into their online presence before engaging in any business with said person. I also very much agree that hiring a professional to manage a professional's online presence is a wise decision. Just as the old proverb that goes "a person who represents themselves in court has and idiot for a client", transfers very well to online representation. IMHO

They've been rebranded "tiny homes" and now they're all the rage.

Granted, you are expected to build your own if you want it to be cool, but it has all the hallmarks of a traditional trailer.

I'm not knocking tiny homes nor trailers, to be clear. I think they're a great solution for folks wanting to own a home on a budget.
I was taking Black Lotus as obvious because it has been universally regarded as the best Magic card since the early days of Magic. But yes, you're right, the risk you mention existed. They could very well have reprinted the card during these years (it would be a really bad move, but you never know who's going to buy a company and gut it). So it's hard to determine what's a fair comparison.
Read the article, his channel is discussed prominently.
Companies like Netflix have the cachet and can retain people despite an anti-worker culture. It's also a self selecting group of over-achievers who may like the environment.

> The backlash showed quite strongly that it was wrong.

What backlash? This same scenario seems to play out practically every month: Apple does something that generates tons of negative comments from — as far as I can tell — people who don't actually use Apple products (removes the headphone jack, throttles performance for phones with aging batteries, releases phone with minor antenna issue, replaces TouchID with FaceID, the notch on the iPhone X, USB-C MBP, etc.). The next quarter, they announce record sales and continue their absolute domination in terms of both customer satisfaction and profit share in the overall market.

The simple reality is that these things are never as big of an issue as people out for blood make them appear (antenna issue, headphone jack, the Notch), or most consumers actually generally agree with the stance taken by Apple (throttle phones with dying batteries rather than unexpected shutoffs, FaceID).
Is frontend development generally more dominated by women or just CSS? Any companies driving this in particular?
If anybody wonders why this is currently downvoted it might be because it shows a huge lack of understanding of the real issues here. Let me mention a couple:

At the end of the day I think very few people want to actually "pay" the price that a more equal society would entail, but are very happy to have others bear the burdens of "paying" for a redistribution of "opportunity".
> loans are a normal way to operate and help a business get ahead

exactly. the entire fn economy is designed to run on credit. every single corporation, no matter profitable or not, borrows money and maintains lines of credit as a part of the normal course of business, as do most individuals.

saying that you should be required to be in a city to use credit for your business is insane.
I pay for YouTube Red. So that person could be making money and I'm not seeing ads.
Agree, we're talking about a few hundred people a year if you're focusing on the marquee schools, the issue is lifting up millions of kids. Improving existing public schooling and colleges/universities would do far more to providing mobility opportunities than eliminating legacy admissions at Harvard. For one thing, where will the next generation of lobbyists come from if we can't supply law firms with well-connected dullards whose parents went to an Ivy League school?
What's the difference? Not trying to be sarcastic (I'm in my first direct contract in more than ten years) just
Stories like these are the reason that much of the public hates unions -- especially public sector unions and unions employed/contracted on public sector projects. If public sector unions negotiated work rules and compensation that were more in line with the private sector, I suspect that their public image would benefit tremendously.

The Hilton is legitimately in the Union Square area. The problem is that if you take the most obvious route to Market St. and the Moscone, that takes you right through the Tenderloin if you don't know to avoid it. (That said, I try to avoid the Hilton on O'Farrell if I can.)
> do think it will happen, however. The use case involves corporations, especially those involved in privacy sensitive fields such as health care. Wouldn’t it be cool to have a locked down “business” VM that is separate from a “personal” VM with your Facebook, games and private stuff on it.

This already exists for businesses with Samsung Knox / Android for Business. No it's not a full OS but it fits all of their needs and separates data. Having one OS in a "vm" on a phone sounds horrible UX wise.

The more competition that enters the market the more essential marketing and branding become to differentiate the product.

Everyone who told us musicians that flattening the barriers to entry would lead to more income were either ignorant of economics or willfully ignoring it further their interests. Few bands make more money off of Bandcamp then they did flogging their CDs.
You could sell each pack for the expected value of opening it, which includes a small chance at some some cards that demand high prices on the singles market.

Of course, this presumes the seller has no way of determining the card content of an unopened pack, in which case the only packs that would remain unopened would have cards worth less than the expected value.

I don't think I could trust any seller to not somehow "peek" inside an apparently factory-sealed pack. I'd probably try a pinhole fiber-optic borescope, poke it through a not-very-noticeable spot, and try to identify the rare card, if I had any.
I agree with you. Beliefs, grit, talent, skill are all factors in success. But we run into huge issues of post rationalization, survivorship bias, and the human tendency to attribute success to our actions and failures to circumstances (which incidentally is a practice that reduces depression).

Uwe Boll's grit created a bunch of awful movies and 3 failed kickstarters - he's much more successful at owning a restaurant!

The challenging question is where to focus your efforts. Listening to survivors to the detriment of understanding your current situation and needs can be a trap.
> They're horrible becuase not a lot of effort goes into them.

And not a lot of effort goes into them because there's no money to be made off e.g. a Reddit clone without doing the same things Reddit is doing. A vicious cycle.

> If there's no alternative, then they will drastically improve.

Ah yes, monopolies (virtual or otherwise) are well-known for drastically improving their products.

> Voat is bad becuase of the users. Not becuase it is an alternative to Reddit.

Alternatives are often created by people with strong viewpoints, e.g. Voat.

> If all Reddit users switched to coat, it would have a pretty similar culture and content

This makes a lot of assumptions, namely that the admins of Voat wouldn't quash that (and there's little reason to believe they wouldn't).
As you can see in the video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HjW1kIt5iQg there is some latency. Weinberg and Barnes are working to fix that, but I don't know details. Weinberg said he wants to gather more data from more users so the arm is more useful to more people.

This assumes that they can actually track advertising impressions to events they care about, many advertisers don't have this, either for technical reasons (i.e. just not implemented), or fundamental reasons (e.g. you sign up for a credit card offline).

It also assumes you have enough impressions from a single source to actually be able to make a statistically significant decision - if you only get 1000 impressions from a single site, not getting any conversions may not be out of the ordinary.
Noninvasive Brainwave Technology Improved PTSD Symptoms in Military Personnel
IMO people who designed social media services like facebook or reddit intended those effects that we see as side effect. For instance facebook side effects that make people from different circles able to see all of your discussion post (and even when they added the option to segregate it was hard to use) is an important piece in the addiction that people have to facebook, it make them able to have a window on other people life and "spy" on them, it's kind of a voyeurism fetish that most of people secretly have and the service is designed to exerce it.

To go back to the Conway's law I see it as a reverse Conway's law, or how communities are mirrors of the software design of the service they are organized in.

Here is one example:

>"In all patients, a research invasive physiological assessment
of fractional flow reserve (FFR) and instantaneous
wave-free ratio (iFR) was done. After the administration of
intracoronary nitrate, a pressure wire was placed in the
distal vessel at least three vessel diameters beyond the
most distal stentable stenosis.

[...]

In the placebo group, patients were kept sedated for at
least 15 min on the catheter laboratory table and the
coronary catheters were withdrawn with no intervention
having been done.

[...]

After the follow-up assessments, study participation
was complete, and patients and physicians were then
unblinded to the treatment group allocation. Patients
who had the placebo procedure had the opportunity to
choose to undergo PCI after consultation with their
physician."

http://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-67...

So it looks like they did an exploratory surgery on the sham patients, then just left them laying sedated on the table.
As someone who has run a lot of decent sized FB campaigns, the norm would be for me to receive about 60-70% of the clicks I paid for. Not saying that was all fraud, maybe some people clicked and changed their mind... but I suspect the real "fraud" number is much, much higher than 2.5%. My guess is around 25%.
> are still at a high risk for CTE.

This is a very good point. I am concerned as the Rugby players have become bigger and faster (which I put down to not so much sports science as sports chemistry) in the last 10 years and the impacts are harder. Rugby is a contact sport and is dangerous for your brain.

My argument has developed during the day due to some excellent responses. What I want to say now, is there are some lessons American Football can take from Rugby to make a dangerous game safer without risking the spectacle. Making it totally safe is going to be much harder
What a great idea! I hope my state (California) and others follow suit.

Not arguing the usefulness of CSS Grid, but Bootstrap is a whole bunch more than just a grid. All the components in Bootstrap kinda work together with the .container .row .col classes and that’s still a crazy useful feature.
Cranston didn't suggest anything major that would require a budget discussion or a technical change about the scene. The recipe was the same, he just spiced up the meal. On the second part, the author continues with Youtube in the same way, spicing up the Internet to get people more entertained.

It is the culture that allows people to "spice up" an idea what makes the difference. Such small changes can bring high value with very little effort, which is referred as "mastering the best that others have figured out". "Best idea" here is not something that would require political maneuver or more resource.
There’s a much more robust black market already in place for marijuana than for cigarettes. Washington has all the same products and is right next door, and taxes at 3% [1]. Also at least in CA municipalities are adding their own taxes, so the distance you need to travel to enable black market arbitrage might not be much.

Interestingly, it's pretty common to also mention your own project in a comment, and how it's received seems to differ quite a bit based on how it was presented. If they start out with relevant comments about the current submission, a segue-way into a somewhat related project is usually taken well. If you start off with what can be taken as self promotion and take a while to get to relevant comments about the current submission (or never do), it's not received well.

In this case, I'm actually surprised that it was downvoted. After the initial line with a link, it's all fairly general and about clone projects in general, which makes that line read as presenting bon fides and not self promotion when the comment is interpreted as a whole.

The Tenderloin is a shithole. Don't go there. And don't park your car on the street down there unless you like replacing window glass. Loads of shady looking people standing around, selling and buying crack, screaming at the top of their lungs at ghosts as they zigzag down the street dodging cars, and homeless people shitting and pissing on the sidewalks. Also lots of petty theft and assault, and the SFPD doesn't do much about it.

Ok — but in many cases there’s more that can be said about the error in the approximation to D of S and S_2 which would allow discussion of various forms of bounded or constrained distributional shift. I don’t think the only choices are “no distributional shift” and “arbitrary distributional shift” are they? What’s the vocabulary to refer to poor generalization performance to datasets with some form of constrained or procedurally introduced distributional shift?
