I don't think this is that hard of a decision, is it? Just say no and cut ties with efforts for China as a market. Any profits there are not worth jeopardizing all of the privacy and precedents that are being slowly pushed.
Haha that site was what drove me to flash/actionscript. There was another site too that made 3d popular and I got rabbitholed exporting stuff from 3d studio max into flash. Complete waste of time - clients only wanted boring splash screens and you had to talk them out of it.

How does it not? People pay their taxes, income, sales and use tax, gasoline, whatever form their local government uses to fund roads, and their fair share of the road use comes out of their pocket. So, yes, driving your own car IS actually paying your own way.
I wouldn't expect it to work with lowercase...if the flat indicator is 'b', it'd be a little tricky to parse something like "c9/bb". (And by "tricky to parse", I mean for both humans and computers.)

Edit: And, while we're at it, some jazz charts use "M" to indicate major and "m" to indicate minor, so your example is ambiguous.

How many gamers do you think are going to give up Steam and go to the Windows Store?

Similarly, how many Xbox One developers are going to bother with UWP, either?

Given UWP allows the use of Win32 because nobody would use it if it didn't, it seems pretty likely that if games start using Vulkan then UWP will end up with Vulkan, too. Microsoft Store needs games more than games need UWP.

Not entirely. I dragged one out of storage at work a few months back to make a run of large format ARCH D-size assembly drawings for the shop floor - no sense in buying a large-format inkjet just for this task. The machine is older than me by a long ways, but is still in good working condition. AutoCAD ships with binary drivers for most of the common plotters of the day, so there was no real effort involved in setup.

I had a good amount of fun watching it go, though as others have stated, they can take forever to run. The output is gorgeous, and generating real honest-to-goodness engineering drawings on one is a special feeling.

I have a mind to try some blueprinting with it, if I can find a source of drafting film and compatible pens.
From other sections it seems clear that the author is a devout adherent of The Copenhagen Interpretation, aka objective wavefunction collapse; this is a close relative of the baseline non-Interpretation “Shut Up And Calculate.” People like that are generally utterly unmoved by anything short of a rigorous mathematical formulation, which works for them in QM where “rigorous mathematical formulation” is pretty much all of what matters.

While I respect the adherence to formalism, the notion that our imperfect view of QM (it doesn’t mesh with GTR after all) represents an ontology to hang your hat on is less respectable. Wavefunction collapse seems like a massive cop-out, and it won’t satisfy anyone except the most rigid logical positivist.

Something like MWI is on the other end of the philosophical spectrum, so the hostility is not surprising. At the end of the day though, it comes down to this:

If you want to build something based on QM, you need someone like this guy.

If you want to satisfy your human need for an ontology, he won’t help you.

Dog cloning is brutal. Companies have to go through many many attempts before they get a good result. Who knows how many attempts they had to try before they got the result they wanted. They go through all of this and ultimately it is not the same dog.

Really? That's odd, that's a pretty standard feature in every client I've tried. I'm not positive, but I'm fairly sure transmission does it too.
I read about dog cloning a few years ago.

I _believe_ it was done in China.

One of the company's promises was that they would not charge for failed attempts at cloning.

That lead me to think that they clone dogs and kill them if they don't look like they should and keep doing that until they're happy.

Is this true?

When I went to Iceland, I was expecting to see close to zero immigrants and their descendants among the Icelandic population. I was surprised to see quite a few people of African and Asian descent working in Icelandic stores and speaking fluent Icelandic with the customers.

I found that the children in Iceland know English surprisingly well. My children were playing with an 8-year-old Icelandic girl who spoke nearly flawless English. I was impressed.

that now China has passed the US in military technology. China has too much influence and money on too many US campuses and has students demanding repeal of the 1st, 2nd, and 4th amendments, which will help continue the growth of Chinese power. Xi Jinping is explicit in his goal to bring democracy to an end globally, and he now has indirect control of Hollywood to complete this agenda. The big internet controlling companies act like private versions of the Chinese government, and will increasingly be instruments of the Xi Jinping or else be destroyed by richer Chinese competitors. I hope I'm wrong about the boot being already planted on the face of humanity forever.

She did. In addition to cloning her dog.
Australia is deeply involved in this. China are actively trying to control conversation with Chinese students and immigrants here. The govt has literally bought all Chinese language press and semi regularly run full page 'articles' in the major press. They have been caught out several time pressuring universities and placing disruptive people in lectures that discuss areas they don't want. I believed agents recently were found to have broken into lectures houses.

Its a delicate situation and hopefully the government will not be afraid to deal with it, whilst not turning it into a xenophobic support point.

Nah, you’re just lazy. You’re not supposed to read every single piece of research in existence. No one person does that. Not even the scientists.

But if the topic interests you enough for you to comment about it and there is a research paper that you can read, then just read the dang paper or let other people make decisions for you. Nobody has to give you the truth. And, on top of that, even if the results of research are quantified, there may not even be an unquestionable “truth” — the implications of the research can still be up to interpretation.

So NYT is against gun control now? Because that's the argument here. Some of those countries clearly have a laundry list of things you'd need to do to get a gun yet have violence that far surpasses anything seen in the US. I'm talking about large zones and cities that are not under government control in Mexico and Brazil and the large amounts of violence in South Africa. Not only that, but they explicitly admit--in the text--that gun laws are ineffective in at least Russia. I agree: gun laws are ineffective in Russia, in the US, and elsewhere. I just didn't think the NYT would be my main backing source.
Well duh. That goes without saying.
Cloning a dog seems benign, but I suspect that, before long, people will be cloned, too. There are certainly creepy possibilities, e.g., "The Boys from Brazil," which imagines Hitler clones, but also thought-provoking scenarios, e.g., allowing parents to clone a child who died in an accident. What a brave new world we're entering!
It looks great, but there is one question out of the box for me...

What about updating the site?

With IPFS this means a completely new hash unless you're running under (through?) IPNS, to point a domain at a new hash. If it's a new hash every time, you give up quickly because you don't want to propagate a new hash to any potential users every time (in the general case).
Not just profits. Also influence. Each company wanted to spread it's products globally. Google tried this. But government kept blocking them causing slow internet. The miserable experience plus targeted hacking destroyed their morale for staying in.
>>1st, 2nd, and 4th amendments

I have been befuddled by the behavior of young people on these axis for the last 10 years. This observation you’ve made is super seductive... but I think the more likely reason we are in this mess is that the younger gens are foundationally devoid of skepticism.

I applaud your creativity though. It definitely could be a contributing factor.
Artists do not directly create work to satisfy collectors.

They make work that over time creates a persona for them that is differentiated and carries meaning within the context of the art world.

Once that persona is created, work can be sold. In general, the work needs to maintain consistency with that persona. If the artist wants to change their work, they must first adjust their persona to justify the change.
Wow, love it. Mine was terrible too. I eventually got into some pretty crazy website designs that were completely an expression of art and UX experiments. We had a sort of underground network of other similar websites that gave a since of community.
Number of users who are not be able to reach IPv4 site probably close to 0%, but given that many wireless/mobile users has native IPv6 connection and IPv4 access via two NATs, IPv6 site should work faster for them (at least in theory).
First of all I fully agree with your sentiment and have similar views (re comical and more)

But

I don't think it is wrong to want to preserve culture and or language. I actually have really strong views that we MUST preserve language and everything that stems from it.

Not necessarily in the sense that we must all be able to speak it - English is going to dominate no matter what you do - but from a purely academic stand point it gives us an incredible insight into how humans have developed historically and may even help explain some of our misgivings in the future. Recording language is something we should be doing in the same way we are creating seed vaults in the arctic.

Language is what I believe truly defines us as humans. People who speak multiple languages often have completely different personalities [1] when speaking each language.

The language you speak can also alter many things including the way you view and reason about:

- Time [2]

- Color [3]

- Direction / left and right / forward and back [3]

- And even whether you know your own gender [3]

The list probably doesn't stop there but it shows you that losing these languages means we lose a completely different way of viewing the world - I think that would be kind of sad, I'm just glad we at least learned this before they're all lost.

> It's that I observe a dynamic that has persisted throughout human history and see people trying to fight it. Why is right now the time that we should "freeze" language adaptation to save culture?

I don't think "right now" is the time - I suspect all lost languages have struggled with losing their place and would have had people attempt to fight it and preserve the language.

Remember, our history likely doesn't cover the languages that have been lost and the struggle to preserve them specifically because they have been lost.

> If that's the perspective, why aren't we also trying resurrect Ancient Egyptian language to preserve that culture as well?

I'm glad you bought that up - it is a perfect example because we know how to read and write the language but we can only begin[4] to imagine how it actually sounds - and what ways it may have altered our views.

That’s a blanket statement that needs to be qualified. I’m sure it was possible for good flash devs to write applets much lighter than JS used in production today. And I’m sure a talented developer could minify that further in JS or any language of their choice similarly tightly integrated in the browser.
> Rigorous Feynman Path Integrals

It depends on how rigorous you want the treatment to be.

The whole machinery of Feynman diagrams is derived from Path Integrals and Wick's Theorem, so they are rigorous, at least as rigorous as standard perturbation theory using operatorial quantum mechanics.

A mathematical physicist won't be amused, though, that's correct. But I wouldn't say that Path Integrals are less rigorous than the average technique used in Theoretical Physics, and particularly in many-body theory.
The grandparent is probably just mocking satire. I don't think any American, not even the most cartoonish millennial activists, wants to repeal the 4th amendment.

Dragnets is a huge problem for analysts. Traditional analysis is based on a certain amount of "degrees", 1. degree would persons/network directly associated with a target, then usually would never exceed 2. or 3. degree.

Now that everything is collected it causes problems with the amount of data which causes quality data to drown in the amount. You basically don't get to pick up anything of worth before it's too late.

This again (the perceived lack of finding "terrorists") is used to argue for more budgets and "tools". Some say this is on purpose and I wouldn't disagree.

My 2 cents.
As in "regular" - practiced, and uniform.

It's hard to argue that a militia is "well regulated" when arms aren't generally available.
I'm not all that familiar with actix, but surely not every Rust program is written using a library that largely changes the nature of Rust code. Like, would you say there's a name for the dialect this program is written in?
If they'd just done Java applets right, we could have avoided 20 years of wheelmaking in web development. Might have gotten out of dealing with JavaScript a long time ago too...
The gun debate over the last few weeks makes me think otherwise.

Edit: I don't think they want to repeal it. I think they want to ignore it. In fact- I don't think anyone actually wants to go through the hassle of repeal for any of the previously mentioned amendments, which would be the right approach. They just want some magical executive order that usurps the constitution.
Have you ever considered taking action against the lawyers representing the trolls? Most likely they are working on a contingency basis and will keep 1/3 of whatever the trolls can extract from you. It's likely that their friends, family and the people in their community have no idea they engage in these activities. I have heard of defendants using PR campaigns effectively in these cases. Oftentimes a potential $10k payout is not worth your friends and neighbors finding out how you really make your money.
Yeah, 10 years ago. The anti-troll arsenal has grown extensively since then. Personally, I'd file for a USPTO patent review and try to take the patent away from them on the basis that it is neither novel nor innovative.
