>things change 180 degrees on the Internet where no believes anything that is not posted by someone with their verified identity

No. People will not care what identity you used to post things. Verified or unverified makes no difference unless the verification is thorough and performed by a third party. If it is self-done, then it is no different from how things are currently.

>You even say they will label it fake thus no one giving a crap about some fake b.s. and it's totally and immediately disregarded.

No. Non sequitur. You label it fake, and people will just disbelieve your label. They do not necessarily disbelieve the content.

Breaking down how to build an API Gateway
I am currently working remotely for a company. Both the company and me are satisfied with my work. The way I found it is: a friend of mine I met at uni, told me that his boss was looking for new developers and was considering remote. I was interviewed and we agreed. I only go to the company once a month to plan the next one. The rest of the month we are using slack.
>You're always free to drop down into C or C++ if you want to get some speed

Wouldn't C# with structs and pointers do the job in many cases? I've been able to get 50-fold increases in speed through heavy optimizations, without switching to another language. Using C or C++ solely for a "speed boost" over C# is not only unnecessary, but it creates more problems than it solves. If you don't know how to optimize within C# (as a C# developer), how are you going to succeed in writing efficient C++ code?

Once you learn the nuances and limitations of making optimizations in C#, then you should start looking into how and when other languages such as C can wisely be used. To name an example, C makes it easier to micromanage assembly instructions (can be done in C# too, but not in a very practical way, and yes I mean assembly and not IL). C also contains more syntax and features which are suitable for bitwise micromanagement, whereas with C# it can be more awkward.

Am I missing something? They do have a refund policy:

http://store.steampowered.com/steam_refunds

Although that policy is fairly recent - I wouldn't be surpised that this case predates the policy.
So you're in the "it's not that bad" camp, because people are rational? Three problems with that...

1) Your sources of information are advertisers (Google and facebook) - why are they trustworthy?

2) The huge database in your behavior is so easily exploitable for evil it boggles the mind. Ever read any science fiction?

3) Even if you are rational and unafraid of surveillance (nothing to hide, nothing to fear, right?)... Advertising makes your purchases more expensive. That should make you especially angry, since it is so useless (according to you).
I mean... it is not at all unusual for two people who are outstanding in a particular field to be related to each other.
whitebox goods have set plenty of precedents for such reasoning - if it works as advertised, then you can't return it simply because you didn't like what it did (or its looks etc, or that it didn't fit your cabinet/spacing etc). It has to be defective, or didn't perform the full range of functions that is advertised.

For a video game, i'd assume that as long as the game ran (no crashing etc), and the game has all the elements that is advertised, you can't return it for a refund.

A good example was no man's sky. I would say it's refund-worthy, since they advertised that it is possible to multiplayer, and meet other people.
I don't know your citizenship. But if you are from an eligible country (france, UK, Germany...) you are still eligible for a Working Holiday visa. It's a 1 year visa, quite easy to get.
Unfortunately, the US citizens are not allowed to obtain this visa.

I lived in Tokyo for a year, and it's actually quite easy to get a job as a computer engineer there. Several of my friend came with a tourist visa (or Working Holiday visa) and managed to get a visa sponsorship from companies who wanted to hire them.
I'm not saying it's super easy, but it is doable.
And believe me, there is a shortage of web / mobile engineer in Tokyo.

Finally, don't worry too much about the gap year. Just go there and you'll find something. Go to events and meetups and you ll find plenty of people to talk to. You'll find a lot of opportunities that way.

Wish you the best

I'm a Millenial and I have a hard time believing advertisers have gotten a positive return from what they've spent advertising to adult me. Clicking on an ad is always unintentional. Pop-ups are closed immediately and automatically, as are auto-playing videos. Other ads are scrolled past as quickly as possible to remove them from my field of view. And all this is when I don't have an ad blocker running.

TV is almost unwatchable now because of ads. I can tolerate them for an hour or so, but past this I get anxiety and then frustration from seeing them if they aren't muted. At some point I begin to feel irrational hostility to the brands on TV.

I struggle to remember the last time I saw an ad that triggered real curiosity or a desire to purchase something. Usually I'll hear about things I want from personal channels, by seeking them out myself, or from mailing lists I've explicitly signed up for.

Of course, maybe I'm being influenced in ways I don't realize or understand. But I kind of doubt the effect is very large. I compare products on ingredients, price, utility, etc. and make a decision from there. There are a handful of brands which have intrinsic value to me, but it's because of good experiences and recommendations from people I trust, not ads.

I don't think I'm atypical for my demographic, and there seem to be others who concur [0] [1]. Whether it's the majority, I'm not sure, but a sizable chunk seem to have become averse/resistant to traditional in-your-face, attention monopolizing ads. Influencers, sponsored content, and product placement may have better reach in the near future among these people. There's also IoT purchasing interfaces like Amazon Echo and Google Home which stand to be a powerful gatekeeper to products.

It'll be interesting to see how this turns out and whether the marginal influence of an ad increases or decreases over time as AI, surveillance, and micro-targeting improve and as society and culture respond.

You have to ask them. They are the ones refusing any changes and cooperation, and are still actively destructive. In parrot the destructive people eventually burned out, and I could fix much stuff, but the big changes from around 2.7, the calling convention and the jit and runloop removal was eventually too much.
As far as neurology and psychiatry go, if we're not asking "how?", it's because we're very far from comprehending. Our brains are exceedingly complicated. If two neurons can ride a bicycle, imagine the complexity arising in a system with billions and billions.

More generally, however, a plausible mechanism is a great aid in determining the potential value of further researching a correlation because as we all know, correlation != causation, but correlation + mechanism pretty much is causation, which means correlation + plausible mechanism is very interesting. It's not wrong to ask "how?" here, though it might not yield much given the nature of the field. Certainly, anti-inflammatory properties can plausibly have positive effects on the psyche, so that's a mechanism worth some looking into.
iCloud users in China must agree to this: “understand and agree that Apple and G.C.B.D. will have access to all data that you store on this service, including the right to share, exchange and disclose all user data, including content, to and between each other under applicable law.”
Most commenters seem not to have read the actual case. This is not about Steam "preventing abuse".

The case here is purely about Steam MISLEADING buyers about what their rights are. The law is very specific here. For example, if you buy a game off Steam that says it's compatible with Mac, but turns out not to be, you are entitled to a refund. This case is about the fact that Steam's policies misleading people by saying there are no refunds even though consumer protection law in Australia states so.

This is a warning to companies who sell software- don't tell people they don't have rights and protections when they actually do.

This is becoming an increasingly worrying trend - to bunk any analysis with a comment on 'small sample size, biases' that somehow moves to the top of the comment pile.

Statistically, there is no such thing as a 'small sample size', in isolation. It is always related to the power and effect that the researchers want to work with.

Moreover, even if a study is statistically insignificant, it DOES NOT mean that the opposite conclusion is true. It might often merit some further examination of cultural and historical trends. In this case, for instance, turmeric has been used for medicinal properties in Asian cultures for centuries. Theories of evolution suggest that this wouldn't be the case (and it would've died a natural death), if there wasn't some merit.
This isn't about transmute or having a specific operator that checks alignment. The point is that the alignment is part of the type is zig and, to a lesser degree, it's about having the comptime machinery for zig to decide, when you offset a &align(4) u8 by an expression, whether the result should have type &align(1) u8, &align(2) u8, or &align(4) u8.

How it went down with Microsoft was cumulative fines as time goes.

I wondered what the ultimate reason was for Microsoft to bow down and apply the required changes to windows, but I imagine being labeled as a recurent law breaking business might have a lot of side effects.

At a very small scale, I knew engineers that didn’t want to apply for MS jobs because of that. I wonder if individual states or other regulation agency also would change their stance regarding a company once behavior change requested by the EU are ignored on a regular basis.
It may be that ads fail in the moment, the click-me-now-sense. But they may still work in the old-fashioned "strong signal way", i.e. you notice that a brand is strong (can pay for a lot advertising) and you remain aware of the brand.

The "strong signal" message is diluted by ultra-targeted-ads, but you will still be aware of the product.

Whether it still is a net gain in your (and similar targets) case, maybe no one knows.

It is clear that you have not even read the Vedas to understand its implications on the world, especially in science. Most of the statistics that you ask have been lost due to them being so old, or deliberately destroyed. But we have the results to prove that these existed. "Strong observations & correlations" are just another way of saying "trial & errors".

Not just ayurveda, but take any science or even Mathematics. The Vedic civilization has been too far ahead of its European counterparts. In fact the idea of heliocentrism, gravity, action=reaction, universe & its age, speed of light, distance of the sun & moon from earth, understanding of time travel, time zones, metallurgy, the so called pythagoras theorem, sudoku & its various forms, the numeral system etc etc all have Indian/Vedic origins, so why would you doubt vedic medical sciences so much? There is also substantial evidence for surgery to have developed in Vedic India far earlier than Hippocrates or any Western counterpart. I firmly believe that if not for the muslim hordes who destroyed everything under the pretext of war, mankind would have been able to make better use of mankind's ancestral knowledge.

Kind of saw this coming after the third reimplementation in yet another language. And why Rust? 2 years ago they decided to use Rust to implement a new language (IIRC Rust wasn’t even 1.0 at that time). That’s a huge amount of technical risk.

I wanted to be exited about eve, but it was always too light on details, had too much risk to ever allow it to succeed, and after several pivots it failed.

This story probably been a bit different if only it was a bit less ambitious, and a lot more pragmatic.

See my comment above;

> if the request is made within fourteen days of purchase, and the title has been played for less than two hours

Purpose of games, is entertainment.

2 hours should be enough for you to decide if the game was worth it or not.

Let's say the average game gives you 40 hours of entertainment. (Bit arbitrary, granted.)

2 hours would be 5% of it's total lifespan.

Sounds reasonable?
Or they'll just cut out part of the movie and give you 90 minutes of ads with 90 minutes of movie. Australian free to air networks have done this.
Steam knows how long you play a game. Their policy could easily be "X days OR less than Y hours in game"
It's fairly draconian and may not meet Australian standards:

From the Wikipedia page on Curcumin (section Research):

In vitro, curcumin exhibits numerous interference properties which may lead to
misinterpretation of results.[3][6][20] Although curcumin has been assessed in
numerous laboratory and clinical studies, it has no medical uses established by
well-designed clinical research.[21] According to a 2017 review of over 120
studies, curcumin has not been successful in any clinical trial, leading the
authors to conclude that "curcumin is an unstable, reactive, non-bioavailable
compound and, therefore, a highly improbable lead".[3]

The study claims to have studied a bioavailable forom of curcumin, Theracumin® but it uses a very restricted interpretation of "bioavailability":

The use of adjuvants that block curcumin metabolism, or nanoparticles, liposomes,
phospholipid complexes, and other strategies have improved its bioavailability somewhat,
but only as defined as increased curcumin blood levels8,64–66 with minimum effects on
curcumin availability to the brain.

The study also notes its sample was small:

The relatively small sample size in this study warrants caution in interpreting
our results and limits their generalizability.

It just doesn't sound like their results are going to stand the test of time.
It already is (well, "AND"):

Agreed that there is no "any other science". But human (Western) prejudices have made Vedic sciences (as in science originating from India) the lesser science, which is what I am trying to clarify. The reasons for this prejudice are too many, but it has a religious angle, an angle that the Church has pushed for too long that people have forgotten any other angle. Also the angle of Islamic destruction, which has ensured that most texts & documentation are destroyed under the pretext of war & iconoclasm. Please see my other comments.

One, there is no practical way to roll this out across an entire society without government involvement. Businesses and wealthy benefactors can make it work for small trials, but large scale society level in a western democracy? It will need government involvement, and even if you try to do it without them, they will stick their nose in it anyway whether you like it or not.

Two, ideas and reality are very different things. The idea of communism is that everyone is provided for and people give what they can and only take what they need. Sounds great, very altruistic. In reality, it's been a nightmare everywhere it has ever been implemented at a societal level because the idea fails to take in to account human nature. UBI proponents overlook or understate this factor too.

Radiation Hormesis might be real (I hope so), but if it gets through drywall, it would be a different form of radioactivity to the one I grew up around.

Alpha decay needs just a simple sheet of paper (or dead skin cells) to stop the radiation, but it messes with DNA if you happen to eat it or breathe it.

That's the one from Th-232, in comparison bananas are also naturally radioactive, but the K-40 emits beta particles, which doesn't cause as much damage.

Alpha decay is what a cup of Polonium tea would have (from the infamous assassination).
