I'm working full time in unity, but the game is 2d and I don't have much reason to learn about 3d rendering. I'd love to at some point...

From my perspective, and probably many other amateur game developers who are making all three engines popular, I think the big difference may just be that ue3 comes out of the box with a bunch of random postprocessing things turned on. The base ue3 scene looks amazing, with lots of interesting materials and textures, whereas the base unity scene is completely empty space with an ugly blue-grey gradient horizon (which I've seen unchanged many times in game jams and indie game competitions). Regardless of potential, most indie devs similar to me don't care enough to make their indie games look good because they're busy making them fun.

You could do this to every passer by and still hardly make a dint; that's assuming you actually have the time and energy every time this happens (which I certainly don't). My compromise is to put my hand out in front of my eyes to both shield my own vision, and also hopefully to send a message to the oncoming cyclist.

A more aggressive approach, when I'm on a bike myself, is to briefly turn on my own bright headlight, pointed onto the oncoming cyclist's face; I don't do this particularly often nowadays, but would be curious to see which is more effective at behaviour change.

I'm not seeing anything right away that distinguishes it from Reddit or any other link-sharing site.

What's the value here over other sites?
The idea of Frontpile is to avoid people having an issue adding content to specific place or topic. This platform solves this issues by submitting several kinds of content (e.g news, questions, vibe content etc) in one place. Furthermore, users can add more topics (called as tags) if a topic don't exist (a simple form), there is no restrictions. It also consists a poll system if people like voting content.

The whole point of this service is collaborating all content in one place and avoiding people. I want to avoid people doing to many clicks for submitting content. You can see many additional feature involved this software. It's just not another website. I describe it as a combination of social media and forum. I have further feature to integrate in the future (big list on my desk).

Thank you for your feedback and will repair them ASAP. Perhaps I will add something similar on the website. Thank you!

That's what I did, just provided the before and after. If I get audited, it shouldn't matter, since I already paid all the tax so they have the money.

And it isn't that difficult really. There are lots of places you can get raw cacao from and recipes for chocolate bars are actually quite simple. The best part about making your own chocolate bars is that you can experiment with how much sugar, almonds, and cinnamon to add. Roast the almonds and cacao beans to your liking, crush them all together until you get a nice dough texture and voila! Chocolate.

Regulation could protect Facebook, not punish it
Is it really hard to believe though? The ones who are lucky and have the money are fine with the situation. The unlucky ones with no money are too busy fighting diseases, insurance companies, and bill collectors, they don't have time to change the system. Dealing with insurance when you have a serious illness is a full time job. The people who need change most are literally fighting for their lives. Meanwhile, healthy people in America think "Gee, why should I have to use my money to pay for someone else's healthcare? What do I get out of it? I'm rich and lucky after all".

The richest don't even understand what health insurance is as a concept. I mean, just look at what our own President Billionaire has to say: "Because you are basically saying from the moment the insurance, you're 21 years old, you start working and you're paying $12 a year for insurance, and by the time you're 70, you get a nice plan." [1] What does that even mean? Or our Speaker of the House: "The whole idea of Obamacare is...the people who are healthy pay for the...sick. It's not working, & that's why it's in a death spiral" [2]. That's literally the entire point of health insurance. This is what we're dealing with here.

To the downvoters: what is generally sold as "chocolate" in British grocery stores is at best similar to moldy sandwich bread one would try to pass of as "croissant" (assuming you know what a fresh, French croissant is like; if you don't, you have no business passing judgment on qualities of croissant, chocolate, or comments on those).
I'm sorry I hurt your feelings. I do feel "Nothing worth learning will be finished learning before you run out of joy for it." is terrible advice and reinforces a believe that's non-congruent with my life experience.

I am trying to let your knee-jerk offensiveness slide, because you obviously feel strongly about the topic; but out of context it almost reads like a threat which I do not appreciate.
It's not the government's fault you lost track of your records.
I sort of explained this in another post but it does consists more features than Reddit (or similar). It consists a poll system, people can add more topic (if not existed), people can like topics (tags) and users. Users can view their liked users on their page view.

There are many more feature added into that I haven't mentioned. I also got more features waiting to be integrating in the nearby future.

Perhaps, I might focus more detailing information on it, so people can have a better idea of what's going on...

Thank you for your response.

Umm..wut? Read the thread. Read the direct quote from his campaign director saying that they had special treatment. There are a hundred articles saying alarm bells went off over OFA’s data collection activities, and Facebook reacted by shutting them off.

Google is your friend.

Here’s one to get you started...

“The campaign’s exhaustive use of Facebook triggered the site’s internal safeguards. “It was more like we blew through an alarm that their engineers hadn’t planned for or knew about,” said St. Clair, who had been working at a small firm in Chicago and joined the campaign at the suggestion of a friend. “They’d sigh and say, ‘You can do this as long as you stop doing it on Nov. 7.’ “

China isn't just "stealing IP", they're also innovating in means of production. It's not just "cheap labor" that people get things produced in China for anymore - it's because China is way ahead of anyone else in production capabilities, costs and speed

US companies can't compete with China when they're sending all of their production over to China. You've placed too much emphasis on ideas and not enough on actually making them, because the attitude "China can make it at lower cost."

IP laws are really what are stifling US companies. They're exhausting huge amounts of resources on building up IP portfolios for the sake of entering (or avoiding) legal battles over "I thought of that first."

You have zero chance of competing against China when you're fighting among yourselves over who gets the biggest piece of the shrinking pie.

i guess the problem is that there's no historical comparison for a social network. if you compare twitter or medium to a newspaper, well obviously it's not against the first amendment for them to stop people they disagree with from posting.

Those inevitable comments about advertising not working come up every time for a reason.

Advertising is a classic example of the prisoner's dilemma. All that money being spent is an arms race, not an indicator of the power of advertising. The idea that money controls how people think is appealing when you remove all agency from the population and just assume they're naive sheep but that's a self-serving perspective.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prisoner%27s_dilemma#In_econom...

Seeing as how you work in marketing and advertising I'm not sure anyone should take you at your word.

“It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends on his not understanding it.”
I have much more money than most people but I'm not fine with it. I pay more than a mortgage payment every month for insurance that pays for almost nothing.
Coming off the Facebook scandal, I think most people want transparency when it comes to social media. 'admin' running the site doesn't scream transparency.

Not to mention the odd text formatting, site design (Tempus Dominus, nothing original) and the lack of activity (you seem to have replied to your own post on there). If you put a bit more effort in rather than jumping the gun hoping to capture attention, you could get somewhere.

But 'admin' with no profile picture or any profile data isn't a good sign, how do you expect me to sign up, share my personal data and add a photo of myself when the owner of the site doesn't even do that?

As detailed in The Box, the unions in NYC back in the day were strong enough that they managed to negotiate for no jobs lost when containerization came steamrolling through. Lots of people for decades were paid to not work, and hiring freezes and attrition naturally declined the workforce from its highs of the 1960s and 1970s (containerization meant that roughly 100x tons of freight could be moved per person)
Indeed, although you can take it a step further than just diff'ing. Following the philosophy of infrastructure-as-code, a fully declarative approach would be a repository of schema files, and tooling that can convert changes to the repo to actual DDL, which it then knows how to execute safely (even taking into account multiple dev/stage/prod environments, sharding, etc).

I built a tool called Skeema that does this, although it only supports MySQL / MariaDB / Percona Server for now. https://github.com/skeema/skeema/

It's currently a stateless CLI tool, using git-like semantics: you can pull from a db to the filesystem, or push from the filesystem to a db / environment, or diff to preview what DDL would be generated. But the next iteration may include integration with CI/CD workflows, Github API, etc for a more seamless workflow. e.g. if you want to add a column to a table, create a pull request modifying the file, and the tooling automatically applies the DDL to a staging environment. Then get your PR reviewed/approved, and once you merge to master the tooling automatically applies the DDL to production.
If avoiding taxes in this situation was allowed, much of the economy would move to barter.

3. Don’t apologize if it’s obvious that you’re being incredibly insincere, unless you’re a great actor. People can smell that kind of non-apology a mile off, and they’ll hate you for it, and distrust any apology that comes later.

4. Don’t make a big show of being apologetic if it’s likely that there’s another shoe waiting to drop; that looks less like an apology and more like a coverup.

5. Don’t make obviously misleading, false, or self-serving statements in an apology.

Please don't feign surprise that facebook has been collecting your data. Everyone knew, but expected some level of privacy and security with the platform. That's what was breached here.

I’ve never had an account with them, but they buy records, they get to me through friends, family, and acquaintances. I expect some level of privacy when I don’t even use their sinking platform. I also expect that regulation is coming for FB, Uber, and the rest of Silicon Valley, and it’s about damned time. It’s too bad that it’s going to hurt people and companies that do nothing objectionable, but I prefer that to Facebook swaying elections and Uber killing people with their substandard SDV’s.

Agile as a Software Development Process – Ao
It's well known at this point that regulations tend to protect incumbents in many industries by making it more expensive for startups to compete.

Industry support for regulations can seem counter-intuitive -- why would a company want to increase its cost of doing business? But it makes sense when you consider that the costs are an anti-competitive weapon. One example is when Philip Morris supported FDA regulations of cigarettes: http://www.slate.com/articles/business/moneybox/2002/07/smok...

So, we should be very careful about how we regulate companies' use of customer data, lest we make it even more difficult for Facebook's competitors.

According to Wikipedia [1] Facebook has a revenue of $40 billion with 2.2 billion monthly active users which translates to pretty much exactly $1.50 per month and user. I would be happy to pay this amount of money if it would ensure that Facebook would not try to do an nasty things with my data.

But I also think that Facebook is already on its way down, people seem to have moved on. At least according to their numbers they still seem to grow or at least remain stable but I would guess that this is mostly due to expansion into new markets and if people there go through a similar trajectory it is only a question of time until the last new market starts and eventually stops using Facebook.

Here in Germany MeinVZ [2] was the dominant social network until people started moving to Facebook and now MeinVZ is just a ghost town. And it pretty much feels the same with Facebook now, actually already for the last five or so years, people come back and engage more and more infrequently until they eventually disappear. It is much slower as compared to MeinVZ but I am pretty sure it is essentially the same thing.

I am not sure where they are all going, maybe Instagram for the younger generation, maybe just WhatsApp for friends in my age, so Facebook the company might just be fine for some more time even if Facebook the network dies. But things have certainly changed from this madness of, I don't know, somewhere between five and ten years ago, when Facebook became inevitable, when it was constantly in thew news, when every ad poster featured a Facebook link.

I would neither be surprised if it turned out that Facebook was an essentially quite short-lived onetime phenomenon and people were not that interested in a global community as the social media proponents would want you to believe, nor would I be surprised if every generation had its own Facebook even if just to set themselves apart from the older generation. Why would we even assume that social media is more than a fluke and does not die away just like many things before?

Collapse of civilization is always pictured as something dreadful, that might not always be universally true, for it also brings change: the slaves of Rome were finally free, the collapse of the Soviet Union also brought freedom (that was really good for those who could take advantage of it), the non German subjects of the third Reich were very happy when that one came down! Somehow the big narrative that is embedded in the civ games is missing these details completely.

Also collapse of a state does not mean that civilization is gone completely. Maybe exploring collapse may be fun too. (At least it would teach an agility that could come quite handy for an individual). However building such a game would be really hard, as it would go against the patterns of historical discourse, there is probably less data to build on.

On the other hand we had a lot of instances during the past century when the established order of things did come to a crashing halt...
