Dude, excellent work and what a great epiphany. I remember reading the source code to an early X terminal project that turned old SUN workstations (and I'm sure others but that's what I had) into X terminals ala the NCD commercial device. The code ran the X Window server in place of SunOS's init! I was like you can do that?!? Wait of course you can! Mind blown.
I think it's pretty well accepted that Men better at physical activities almost across the board. I don't think that's what the original point was about though.

The original question was asking for an example of a "genetically talented that they didn’t train" losing to someone who was a "pro" and this is clearly not an example of it.

That said, I'm not trying to make the argument that there aren't 'genetic' limits.
This is a pretty good primer of what looks to be the most obvious scam in cryptocurrencies (of which there is plenty of competition!). It seems to be the glue holding the market together and has rapidly gained scale. When the scam crumbles it is going to be epic and tons of exchanges are going to go with it.

In the meantime (if you like gambling), wait for another big down day and watch for Tether issues. The market will start to climb shortly afterwards. Just make sure you're playing with USD and not USDT!

Jordan Peterson is not extreme at all. We are just currently in a climate where nuanced opinions and observations are ignored by radical ideologues.
It is ok for companies to earn money. I am enough on the left to want better control over drug prices and to be huge fan of public school systems including college.

Getting angry over game companies wish to be profitable is too much on the left.

Motivations and character of the author matter little; the article which was written is pushing an agenda: a justification of (and if not a justification, a recommendation for) the use of what could be seen as questionable practices for reducing costs and getting more money out of their audiences.

What practices do I consider to be questionable?

> "de-emphasize bytes in favor of other types of content"

This, and the rest of the suggestions reads as "don't build a hand-tailored experience, instead build more random permutations of generic content." There's even suggestions to find ways to monetize some of those permutations.

I'll admit it: I'm a gamer, not a professional developer. But these things matter to me. Good, profitable, games do exist - I am playing many of them. What bothers me as a gamer is that all of the suggestions being offered up here will never re-create one of these good games. The games being advocated for describe yet another vehicle for selling lootboxes or skins or weapons.

The whole article closes with the comment "I would love it if these graphs were wrong". Charitably, we can say that the graphs the author displayed are not wrong. However they provide, at a minimum, an incomplete picture. They invite readers to come to a very specific conclusion. That practice is what I'm criticizing with the phrase "lying with numbers" (credit for which goes to "Penn & Teller's Bullshit").

This ties in with the "Reality has a surprising amount of detail" article that's currently on the frontpage (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16184255). In my experience, I discovered that when I first learn about something and then try to do it, I usually find that a lot of the things I've learned were irrelevant, and a lot of the important things weren't even on my radar when learning. That's why, I believe, a mixed approach is more efficient than just blindly trying, or just blindly learning.
‘Self-aggrandizing’ could describe numerous accomplishments contemporary wet plate photographers have made, and documented on the internet. Maybe the particular practice just seems to attract a certain crowd. Preserving the process and such is interesting and educational, but how much? Aside from technical and practical considerations, I’ve never really understood the intrigue, and I shoot photos on emulsion on a regular basis in 2018. I have reasons and vulnerability about that, though, which would crumble if I were trying to justify these wet-plate feats.
Respectfully, I'd like to put this in a different frame.

"Being an asshole" isn't some universal quality. If someone is complaining that someone else is "being an asshole," what is essentially meant is that person "is doing something for which they should be socially shamed." There's nothing inherently right or wrong with having a system of shaming in a society, but it's something particular to a culture and a time. These things come about through consensus and if there isn't some consensus that that's the way things are, then those attempting to impose new norms are ironically also "being assholes."

When you have moral society in recent decades changing very rapidly in terms of what is being considered acceptable or not (whether or not you consider that positive progress), it's going to feel like whiplash to people who are not on the vanguard of the latest new definition of what's acceptable. People say, "Wait a second, I was taught to be a decent person, I think I'm a decent person -- who are these people telling me that I'm now a hateful person for doing or not doing what seemed reasonable up until a couple years ago? Do the people telling me this have moral authority in my eyes?"

Cultural practices take time to adjust or to be adjusted externally. Move too fast and people won't be happy about it, and that should be understood.
I'm curious; what do you mean by database of cancers? If you mean actual tissue-banks with specific cancerous samples isolated and identified for testing, then they exist. If you mean just databases of genomic data related to cancers, those exist too, but sadly you can't just BLAST away every problem you find.

Tissue is extremely limited. The volume required to do testing shreds through the volume of tissue removed during biopsy very quickly, leaving limited amounts left over for study. As a result, access to cancerous tissue samples is actually a tremendous limiter on this type of research. In a company I worked on prior which was developing analogous technology, our ability to access a number of university affiliated tissue banks was a key differentiation between us and the competition.
Few books are written by kids which confuses the issue. If only one in 100,000 books is great and prodigies have written less than 100,000 books then you should not expect any great books.

On the other hand plenty of great books have been written by people in their 20's which is a long way from a full life.
There's an interesting middle ground forming, though: First-Quality Third-Party.

I would not want to buy a first-party charger because I think they're way too expensive. However, I'm also not going to just buy the least expensive one, because as Clive has shown, they're unreliable at best and downright dangerous at worst.

But I've bought dozens of items from Monoprice and Anker. They have made a brand for themselves as being high quality and low cost.

Of course, the whole house of cards comes tumbling right down once the counterfeiters stop bothering to make 'App1e' chargers and start making 'Ankeer' and 'Moonprice' models.
EU SaaS founder here. It really is not as complicated as people are making it out to be, at least for digital services (I have no experience with physical products). Use a service like Quaderno https://quaderno.io for the invoicing, they plug into Stripe. Once you get that set up it's not a big issue.
I ran into a bug in that area a while back. Our development environment has a binding to Winsock32.dll for socket stuff, and as it turns out the bindings were written so long ago that many of the return values are specced to be 16-bit ints. As a result, our application would work fine almost all of the time, but fail mysteriously with "socket operation on non-socket" after about 8000 sockets have been opened. As I understand it 8000 is because file descriptors are a kind of bump-the-pointer scheme internally and pointers are 8 bytes wide on 64-bit platform.

I'd say PUBG data is much too new, in the timescale this looks at.

I'd be inclined to say "ignore World of Warcraft" in anything like this, because it's the biggest outlier ever (No MMO comes close, even 14 years later) - but at least there's tons of data around it.
I agree. If being mistaken as the wrong gender causes someone significant enough distress to make them commit suicide, they need (and likely are getting) serious mental health attention.

It is not the burden of anyone to cater to a stranger's mental illness. If you look vaguely male, I will say "excuse me sir, could I get past you?" (and "madam" for a vaguely female looking person). And there is no place where that should be illegal or morally wrong.

Deliberate misgendering is definitely a separate discussion from a genuine mistake.

> If someone wants to loose money on blatant scams with many warning signs, I say let them.

I find this an abhorrent behavior that predates the uneducated. We have failed as a society to provide some people, actually a lot of people, with a good education. That people has a hard time defending themselves. Your solution to our failure is to let them being victims of scammers as punishment for being born with a lack of resources.

This is not only morally wrong but even from a purely utilitarian perspective only creates an incentive for companies to move from normal business to legalized scam practices.

Take this as constructive feedback. This way of starting your comment creates the same kind of feeling than starting your sentence with "I'm not racist but...". It doesn't add anything to the conversation and it looks like you are trying to excuse something that yourself find wrong to start with.
in a world where everyone is purportedly a Nazi (including my grandmother), nobody is a Nazi

This is a BS argument. Right wing commentators have been labeling everyone they disagree with as 'Nazis' for decades. Rush Limbaugh is famous for popularizing the term 'Feminazi' and has been using it regularly since ~1995. Jonah Goldberg wrote a book a decade ago that conservatives love citing, called 'Liberal Fascism' and whose cover depicts a smiley-face button with a Hitler moustache. I could cite numerous other examples.

It is simply false to suggest that this problem originates with the left, but it does (however unintentionally) give great cover for dismissing the fact that there are rather a lot of militant neo-nazis who have been significantly emboldened in recent years, organize with impunity, and commit violence regularly.
The article mentions alternate uses of a sock, citing its suggested use as a "water filter" as being particularly creative. In high school I had a project to make a water filter which I forgot about. The day it was due I managed to assemble a plausible filter by taking my sock, getting it wet, and draping it between the dirty water glass and the clean water glass, with the dirty water glass higher so the water would be sucked up and through the sock into the clean water glass.

Maybe there is a high correlation between creativity and irresponsibility or desperation :)

As this is Hacker News and full of curious people, I can tell you that it doesn't work very well. The dirty water just ends up on the other side, minus large pieces of detritus.

There are few console exclusives these days; most games that come out on the consoles also come out on the PC. A not-insignificant number of these games are even sold on GoG, a place where no DRM is allowed.

The most notable exception to this is the Switch, a platform which has close to 10x the independent content than first party content.

I stand by the "level playing field" comment.
Misleading in what way? The Korean exchanges definitely artificially inflate the value so I'm glad coinmarketcap.com and livecoinwatch.com allow excluding them from the average.
I really have no problem with sharing my information openly in cases my presence has an obvious effect on those around me. Letting other cars within a certain radius know where I am seems a reasonable sharing of my information. I would go as far as sharing my intended destination so that some "cloud" some where can better plot my route to minimize traffic for me and others. That said, storing all that information for later analysis, which is possible given what I've shared, would be an unreasonable use of my data (unless it's done as part of some aggregate information). The problem of course is that once I share that information I lose control of how it is used later. If someone can devise a way for me to share my information while controlling how that information can be used later, it would go a long way to striking the right balance. I guess that's more or less "personal DRM" for our information.

The easiest thing to do from the accounting and complexity perspective is to use a reseller. We use paddle.com and are very happy with them. In such setup, reseller is selling your product/service and handles all the invoicing, per country tax calculation, etc. No matter how much you sell, you always get only a single invoice per month from the reseller, with only one entry - the cumulative sales from the month, which is very easy to account. If I understand correctly, Apple store also operates as a reseller (but Google Play doesn't).

The drawback is that customers see your reseller company name in invoices, which can be problematic for some, but we haven't yet hear complains.

> FreeBSD has conformed to embargoes in the past, telling them would not harm the embargo.

So? Should they be notified of Microsoft windows vulnerabilities just because they've shown they can handle themselves? There has to be a cutoff somewhere. I don't think FreeBSD was in the highly affected subset of use cases. I can imagine others coming to the same conclusion.

> You have source for their criteria?

No, that's what "looks like" in my comment is there for, to imply it's an assumption on my part. They notified chip makers, the large end user OS makers, and many/most the major cloud providers (this probably depends on what you consider major, I don't know if Linode or Digital Ocean were notified, but AWS was, and Joyent wasn't..), which are what I would think the highest impact areas are, as those use cases either require running third party code or often due so (end users and downloaded software or browsers with JS).

To me, that appears like they tried to get the most major players most affected some info.
It's worth noting that the number of people who purchase games has far outstripped the losses due to inflation by several orders of magnitude.

Even if each of these steps was economically viable (which they aren't), this still wouldn't cure cancer.

Diagnostic and screening advances are so useful because plenty of these cancers and cancer related disorders run subclinically, and many of them cause lasting systemic damage even after the rogue cell population is decimated.

Certainly helpful, but not the end of the fight.
2x4 lumber is cut into rough boards in the milling process which are actually 2 by 4. These are dried (at which point they shrink) and planed (the wood will warp a bit during the drying process, jointing and planing will help correct this) so the resulting boards are smaller than their original 2x4 size.

Some more surprising detail in reality :)

Anecdata - but I'd say in the SNES there was hardly a game that only provided 10h of linear game play, whereas that's quite a possibility nowadays. (More on PC probably, but I don't think all PS2/3/4 games are created equally). So maybe people wouldn't even buy it at 130$ (first google hit for converting buying power 1990 -> 2018)
How could a cryptocurrency be backed by something?

If I need to "trust" you that I can get <something> in exchange for my cryptocurrency, then that's not much of a cryptocurrency is it? It may as well be a MySQL database controlled by you, as that's what it amounts to anyway.
Honestly, I believe the exact opposite is true. Why should you make your users and their batteries work harder to get what they want? Somebody comes to our website with a task in their head, and fundamentally our goal is to help them complete that task as quickly as possible. "Offload as much work to the client as possible" does not help our users complete their tasks faster. It makes life easier for dev teams by having servers that focus on APIs, reusing js code to create native apps, etc. But in the vast majority of cases it does not help the user, even if done perfectly. No, it's not faster because "no whole page reload" and yes, it does break expected browser behaviour unless you are extremely, unreasonably careful. The only exception is if you're building Google Maps or something extremely "appy" and need to have an alternative to the app store, for some reason.
What? This is college-level knowledge...
If you're serious about being called a floop, that's fine. I'll try to be good about it.

If you're demanding to be called a floop when you don't see yourself as a floop, just so you can mock those who don't call you floop as an ironic metaphor for people who are actually serious about their pronouns, then you're not a floop. You're an asshole.

And trust me as someone who has a lot of friends with unusual gender identities - if you're sincere, they won't be calling you an asshole and a bigot when you sometimes screw up, because they know you're trying, and they know it's hard. It's refusal that gets you called out, not accidents.
I think the author is talking about making bad-faith but very defensible interpretations. You can accomplish that by purposely taking hyperbole too literally, or by intentionally overlooking that a statement was meant as a metaphor. (Just a couple of examples.)

Very often, English-language experts can appear to defeat subject-matter experts in debates. When this happens it's usually because of footwork on the "language layer."
There are plenty of books written by people under 18. Some are even above average relative to adult writing. But, unlike chess, math, or music it takes a long time to write a book so they get less practice. On top of that books take a long time to write so they need to be good at a young age simply to finish by 18.

On the other had there is some IMO great poetry written by kids.
