Not sure I understand what you are saying here...
In Nevada, gambling has lawful for much longer than I've been alive. And, in most states, it's lawful within certain locations, so most states these days have casinos. I suspect the online gambling thing comes down to taxation rather than mores.
No. It is a distinction between a color-filtered photo-sensor attached to a contraption which raises flag "Red" and a mammal.

Sounds pretty fun! Are you still working as much as before?
I've long wondered why there isn't a significant levy (say $15) on existing antibiotics that goes into a fund for the development and release of new drugs.

All antibiotic users benefit from new antibiotics, it would discourage overuse of existing antibiotics and provide significant funding for development.

A few large western countries working together and such a fund would quickly reach hundreds of millions of dollars.
And my main system is one such 4790K, which would still have been fine for a few years, but I guess I'm looking at 2019/Zen2 now.
You're getting downvoted but here in Denmark while you don't need a license to cycle, if you have a driver's license you can lose it for breaking rules while cycling. Cyclists being familiar with the rules is just as important as car drivers.

In almost every country (at least in Europe) cars have to yield to any traffic going stright on their right side. This includes both pedestrians and cyclists. And, yes, these have the right to overtake on the right. If straight traffic would have to yield to turning traffic, that would be way too dangerous

While technology was a necessary condition, it was by no means sufficient to affect wholesale change across industries and the world.

Another comment quotes part of the history of this issue, and it shows that NGOs such as Greenpeace created political cooperation, solving the basic collective action problem (or prisoners' dilemma) at the core of this issue–which happens to be the same for global warming.

The efforts by environmentalists were also instrumental for scientific organisations and the private sector to invest in alternatives. But even with those technical advances, switching would have ordinarily been a losing proposition: the new technology was more expensive, and often less convenient to consumers.

You needed every citizen to willingly inconvenience themselves for the greater good, and you needed assurances that your competitors would not undercut you in the market by continuing to use "dirty" technology.

The parallels to climate change are obvious, and if you remember the fight for the ozone layer as anything but a "crusade by first-world environmentalists and the nanny-state trying to kill our industries", that only shows how well it worked.

In some circumstances a "random" button might be a nice thing to have, rather than a predictable mid-point, as it would encourage real users to sample different things from deep in the long tail. The crawler could also use this to find jumping off points. You could also then leave out the "last" option, and therefore you wouldn't need a "first" option to look symmetrical for human users.
I read an article not so long ago (unfortunately, I do not recall where) mentioning the studies of a doctor who was able to open some minimal channel of communication with patients under a certain form of anesthesia, through which they were able to answer 'yes' when asked if they felt pain. After the procedure, they had no recollection of pain (or of being questioned, IIRC.)

This fairly clearly does not generalize to all forms of anesthesia, as some (including local ones) do block either pain sensors or the signals from them.

I am offering this merely as a datum, as I am not sure what to make of it.
The attraction of cats is that you have a very slightly domesticated wild animal. There is really something magical about interacting with an animal that has a bit more agency than dogs who have been bred for millenia to be servants to humanity.
If you want to continue that argument along, head down Solipsism. You are the only conscious being. Everyone else is just performing actions but they arent truly conscious. They say they feel pain, they avoid it. But they could just be like the fish. This is the story of YOU. You are the main char. The rest? They are automotons, cause and effect. You only know that you feel. Everyone else is merely an external cue..deceiving you in some respect...but really, the fact is, you cant tell. Neither can we. Thats the game of brains in a box.

There is a move away from seperate bike roads because these have a much higher right turn accident rate at junctions and a move towards bike lanes which are safer due to the shared space (more awareness of bikers by drivers)
Why, how and how did it work out? Would read an entire blog post about it.
How about putting all titles in one “index” page so I (and a bot) can easily ctrl+F skim thru them?
They're still a risk. Not knowing the rules can cause a motorist who did absolutely nothing wrong to kill said cyclist or swerve away from the cyclist and kill someone else not even involved, all because of a negligent cyclist.

That said, demanding a license for cyclists I agree is completely unreasonable.
This line of argument isn't going anywhere useful, no matter how many times you repeat it.

It's a mistake to conflate cyclists filtering through traffic and undertaking.

The Highways Code specifically mentions that motorcycles do this also Rule 88 [1] and tells drivers that that they should be aware of other road users including cyclists doing this too [2] Rule 21.

No, I think he means that he was calculating the contribution of the volumetric light per lightmap texel, instead of per screenspace pixel.

If he would have "painted it on the lightmap" then the effect would not have changed based on your viewpoint, since it's just baked into the lightmap.
Can't help but resent the interviewee. Is that only because of my stereotypes? Stuff like

"I’ll fly out the day before the meeting – most often commercial and occasionally private – and have a dinner the night before with the board and CEO."

"You know Jay, at this level – it’s the White House."

sounds like a hollywood celebrity boasting with his gold plated bathroom. Or Trump flexing his huge nuclear button.

"And if a board member isn’t performing well, we get rid of them."

He could've also just said that the the board will get of any low performer. This line reads like he thinks he will never be the one gotten rid of. He's of course always among the high performers who get rid of underperforming weaklings.

I mean, maybe you really need people like that to do this job. Or is it just that only the less self-conscious people manage to get there? It's a sad world either way.
Apple won't switch codecs again shortly after going the HEVC/HEIF route. All new iPhones will stay there.
> My best bet is for the Web to find their own model of micropayments with freemium content similar to how mobile games are doing it.

As long as banks make a fortune off of microtransactions despite having no real costs associated with them micropayments in the cent (or, worse, sub-cent) range won't happen. That needs to change.
I would assume drivers are also thinking of the fuel tax they pay, not solely the excise tax. The UK has some of the highest rates of fuel taxation in the world.
I was under the impression that they generally license the IP cores (or at least some IP blocks) to implement the ISA and downstream vendors don't implement those differently.
People are going to be all over the map on this one. I see large downsides and minimal upsides to online gambling.

I think it should be illegal in practice because people get into massive downward spirals. Now, that does not mean we need no ban ultra low stakes poker, just the kind of games that cause people to go broke. Aka, someone that loses 200$ a month on poker is not a big deal. Someone that's losing 20,000+$ / month is likely a different story.

I have similar issues with the App Store and feel Apple / Google should limit in app purchases per month.
so if someone has www.foo.com registered with a provider (but has wildcard DNS pointing *.foo.com to the provider) would it be possible for someone who has another domain bar.com to upload a cert that would be used for x.foo.com. because even though no content would be served from bar.com that is kind of a weird situation.

like i think the way ACME tls-sni works is broken because it should be using the DNS hierarchy to make the SNI request [maybe something like: 773c7d.13445a.acme.foo.com] but maybe some providers are still broken even with this fix because they let people upload certs with names that belong to other clients.

If they haven't tried optimizing encoding speed yet, how can they be sure there isn't some misfeature in the standard that will hinder high-speed encoding? Like IIRC with some old On2 codec, where the order of the tokens in the encoded stream was not ideal for an optimized implementation.

> Even today, C++/CX with XAML is not as productive as C++ Builder

I'm glad you think that - I work on C++Builder, and work hard to improve its strengths. Productivity is a key one compared to other C++ tools. These days it's not just Windows, but iOS and Android too, and you will hear more good news about platforms and C++ standards support sometime soon. Not all the team left for MS, by the way: we have some truly incredible people on staff.

From the article, re Turbo Pascal, the precursor to Delphi,

That's still true of Delphi today! There's a video on Youtube of a million lines of code compiled and linked in about six seconds. It's hard to overestimate the productivity that kind of round-trip speedy development brings.
None of this is relevant, though.

Simply simulating a globally slowed-down connection will tell you what's going to be a problem. And, really, common sense will tell you what's going to be a problem, too -- if a site "needs" to load 100MB of ads and trackers and other JavaScript to display a couple kilobytes of actual text content, then you have a problem. A user on a slower connection is going to see that site take forever to load even if there's a CDN across the street.

I'd guess some people want to keep a bit of the momentum going for fuel efficiency?

It's strange that the Alliance for Open Media hasn't put out a press release about Apple joining or added Apple's logo to the "about us" page:

AOMedia seemed to do that quite quickly when Facebook joined. Maybe Apple asked them not to, but I don't see why Apple would.
That's because you (and me too) equate sex with intimacy (in the emotional sense). This is not true for all people and I don't judge.

That's very interesting, because at 99.95% absorption it has slightly worse performances than Vantablack (99.96%) but much better performances than Vantablack S-VIS (99.8%), the "low-temperature"[0] sprayable version.

Furthermore studying BoP structures could provide for significant mechanical resistance improvements over Vantablack, which has good resistance to mechanical vibration (no issue putting it on top of a rocket) but pretty much none to contact/abrasion (Surrey's website clearly states that a vantablack-coated surface "needs to be protected from accidental touching, for example behind or inside a component, or situated where contact is avoided" and that it is "highly susceptible to any direct impact or abrasion").

OTOH the article states that the absorption is very variable with angle but does not provide any numbers, that would be interesting (according to Surrey Nanosystems, S-VIS still provides 99.4% absorption at 70˚ VIS, they don't provide any hard number for Vantablack).

[0] ~100C versus ~450C for the original Vantablack)
Poster is confused by the fact that gender can be fluid but not necessarily something you can just decide to change on a whim.

However, that brought the interesting distinction about differently protecting traits that you can just decide to change, versus those you were just dealt with and are immutable part of you.

So gender is misplaced there, fluid but not so much a choice. However, the question as posed seems still valid to me for opinions : religion and politics.
The title should really be game architecture (with Unreal Engine 4). It's not so much on how to architect a game engine as it is about structuring game code in general and UE4 game code in particular.

> In my observation, most Chinese parents are very busy and do not spend much time reading with their kids.

Grandparents and Tiger Moms don't read to their kids? Grandparents lived with their grandchildren in China as a whole. My wife teaches English to Chinese children through the internet and the sessions cost them about $20 US dollars. There is always an adult close at hand and seems much more active in their children's lives.

Now for your daily dose of Chinese Propaganda 88% of parents read 23 minutes everyday. Also there is no link to said "study." http://www.china.org.cn/china/2011-04/21/content_22412555.ht...

One big take away. In the US we push all Kindergarten students to read (age 5 or 6). In this paper 77% read at age 8 grades 2 or grade 3 in the US.

Many cars drivers have a habit of accelerating to get around cyclists as they are both coming to the junction where the car wants to turn left using the left turn only lane and the bike wants to go straight. I get cutoff at least once a month in this way. Very scary and usually the car drivers are oblivious to how dangerous their driving is.

GDPR Article 7(4)

When assessing whether consent is freely given, utmost account shall be taken of whether, inter alia, the performance of a contract, including the provision of a service, is conditional on consent to the processing of personal data that is not necessary for the performance of that contract.

So GDPR does not say its illegal, just that it will be determined on case by case basis.

For legal experts, is this facebook consent obtaining GDPR compliant ?

Whatever the speed limit, you should never go 90 km/h in a blind turn if it is too fast to avoid a cyclist. You're the one responsible as long as cyclists are allowed on the road (and for good reason). For example, on the tiny winding mountain roads of Corsica, the speed limit is generally 90 km/h but it would be crazy for a non-local to go more than 50 or 60 km/h (if only because of the random encounters with wild boars ;))

waiting in a queue of traffic at a light or junction
is very dangerous for a cyclist

When I'm approaching traffic lights and there's a queue of traffic and no bike box, I stop my bike at the tail of the queue, in the middle of the lane - just like I would on my motorbike or in my car.

I'm curious as to what you think the danger is in that situation?
TON leaked whitepaper (Telegram's ICO)
The original point I made -- that Chrome's dev tools can simulate a slow network connection -- got nit-picked by people saying it can't figure out which CDN serves which ad bundle. This is not a useful, relevant or even coherent reply.

Public web sites that only work for "first world internet" customers shouldn't be a thing. Sites that load 100MB of ads and trackers and fifty different JS frameworks to display a few paragraphs of text should be getting the search-engine death penalty until they clean up their act. They should be thinking about people who aren't on fast broadband connections. If they aren't, the search engines should be.

YouTube learned this from the "paradoxical" result of a lighter-weight page increasing load times:

http://blog.chriszacharias.com/page-weight-matters

(spoiler: it was because the lighter-weight page meant it was suddenly usable by people who had slow connections who couldn't use it previously, and those people began to use it, which skewed the average load time higher)
Yes, but then you run then you run into the usual philosophical dead-end of discussing qualia: How can you be sure your coworker is capable of feeling pain and not just negative stimuli, etc.

You can (and should) argue with brain structures - however, this can lead you into the trap of assuming that less is going on than actually is. People mistakenly assumed that birds are incapable of reasoning and cognition because they don't have anything resembling a cerebral cortex. Today we know they do have brain structures for reasoning - they are just organized completely different than in our brains.

However even that does not apply to fish - the main argument of the article was that the majority of research actually did find the same brain structures in fish that would handle pain in humans, along with matching neuronal activation patterns and matching behaviors.

So I think if the level of evidence is as the article describes, the old adage applies: If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it's probably a duck.
