We consider crimes against young children to be particularly bad precisely because they're genuinely blameless.

Once you get past childhood, though, you're a moral agent making choices. If you work at a company, yeah, you are in a small part contributing to their actions and by continuing to work there, assenting to those actions.

After all, a random Googler lunching in the cafeteria wants the prestige associated with all the good things Google does, that's got to come with some measure of blame for the bad things Google does. You can't have it both ways.

> Why do we consider murderous individuals mentally ill, but not murderous groups of individuals

Other way round, surely? Recieving a diagnosis of mental illness is one of the few things that will save a murderer from punishment.

There is a tendency for news and the public to reclassify certain kinds of crime as "mentally ill" when they can't, or don't want to understand, the motivations. Often it's a form of terrorism and radicalisation.

Valve has only something like 300 employees last time I checked, so you can't expect them to do a lot more unless they massively hire a lot more people.
Oh man, MUDs were magical. I annoyed my parent to no end by tying up the phone line. Most of my best friends today are people I met on the MUD in the 90s, and we still keep in touch every day. It was amazing to be logging in and basically be living another life in a vibrant world.

I frequented one called Realms of Despair, unfortunately it's only got a few tens of people logged on at any time now.
I work at Google, though not in the Bay Area, in Maps, and we recently had a program where every engineer was encouraged to participate in a user study on features they worked on. The goal was just watch regular people sit down and use the product, see what they liked, see what they didn't, and build some more user-empathy.

I found this pretty awkward, but rewarding, and have let it help guide my personal prioritization. In this case, having a few anecdotes was a lot more powerful than the dry aggregated data.
> he actually WAS an bad actor in the past

To be clear, one of the main points of the article is that he was not a bad actor in the past; he saw sketchy behavior from a prospective investor and reported it to authorities, and the sketchy investigator then launched a smear campaign against him from another country.

I stopped playing EVE recently because of all the micro-transaction stuff. One of my favorite things about EVE was how the subscription model deterred kids and meant they didn't need to have micro-transactions. Check out BjornBee or ZarvoxToral on Twitch, they run public fleets you can join, and seeing as it's free-to-play that's probably the easiest way to decide for yourself. -Ex [IRON] Pilot.
And they have almost none of the AAA games.

Is Valve as a company actually ever capable of throwing it's weight behind anything?

They had VR handed to them on a plate and all they've managed to ship is a tech demo. Almost feels like all these projects that should be major for them are treated like side projects.

I know people still have a lot of love for the games they released 13 years ago but for me I've learned to accept that Valve today isn't what Valve back then was.

I started in 2004, and played semi seriously for big bouts until probably 2012 or so. Every year or news story would get me back in...and i'd recognise less and less. I stopped myself reading eve politics not that long ago, as that was the bit that most interested me really. After the glory days of roaming in small fleets.

The last time i logged in, a couple of years back. I contemplated moving my shit to somewhere else to where one of the few people i knew was still playing but the jump fatigued meant that would take half my life. I get the whole point of trying to limit force projection cos it was very daft with every encounter in 0.0 finishing with PL, NC or Goons dropping in their super fleets. But logistics for the common player is awkward :(
It would likely take me many days of gathering and moving shit to get into a position to actually play the game again haha. not fun.

Yo your first point (public records):

Historically that's more or less what we've done. A lot of things are public records, including things that many people might find surprising and personal, but in practice you had to track it down to some dusty town or county clerk's office that was only open occasional and unpredictable hours.

But as a result of a lot of things being digitized you can pay some nominal fee and get a pretty thorough public record search on anyone. Moving into a neighborhood, check out your neighbors. Potential employees. Etc. Heck, a lot of it is free although the "deep web" search companies have moved more to a straight pay model.

The problem is that I'm not sure how you reconcile "public record" and "must be really inconvenient to access" as a matter of statute. Public but may not be digitized? Public but you have to pay $10K to access it? Public but you need to get a court order for legitimate public right to know?

Nintendo is the last company in the world that would be interested in this. They're not in the hardware business to sell other peoples software, they're in it to build a platform for their own software.

Nintendo platforms could literally ship with zero third party support and people would still buy them. Heck most casual gamers I know who bought Wii and Switch don't even own third party games at all, just Nintendo.
I meant, a way to get the file-size when chunked transfer-encoding is used. I cannot imagine any, and I don't think requests has some magic way to calculate it (or more likely STOP after downloading n bytes).

You’re not wrong; it’s at least a close call.

You’re right that they’ve gotten less scrutiny, but they also need less scrutiny. (I’m not saying more isn’t better.) TLS carries a lot baggage from phlogiston era crypto and is significantly more complex than a dumb NOISE impl.

Note that I qualified my suggestion to “you need to have someone around for that” and that I also mentioned low cost. Specifically, I imagine you’d instantiate NOISE with some boring primitives, ideally in a memory safe language, and spend some time and money pointing Tamarin at it, for example. If you don’t have that, fine, get a tiny TLS stack. I’m just saying that a priori I can’t tell you I have less faith in random mbedTLS-containing ROM vs NOISE-with-reasonable-implementor. (I appreciate that we’re comparing apples to oranges with a concrete ROM vs an abstract protocol.) I also happily appreciate that we’re in territory where the constraints are too restrictive to make blanket recommendations.

Let me rephrase: would you agree that there are platforms that actually shipped with garbage crypto where it’s plausible that they could’ve made NOISE work but didn’t embed a TLS stack because size/perf?

At what point is someone "mentally unwell" versus "revolutionary" though? Because it occurs to me that these huge corporations are trying to rob us of our rights by privatizing free speech and thus doing an end-run around the Constitution. Sites like Youtube are the modern village green in many ways.

Also, Google/Alphabet/Whatever the hell they call themselves for tax reasons got pretty stingy about paying the content providers and then the whole "we don't like what you're saying so we'll just demonetize you <click>" thing took place.

I lost a lot of time to MU*s back in the 90s.

My final project in AP Computer Science in high school was a single-player text adventure that mimicked some of the mechanics of MUDs. Sadly, we had to turn in the source code rather than demo it, and it refused to compile on the teacher's computer. He still gave me an A, though, based on the source alone.

I really, really wish I still had that source code...
Cooperations have had 2 years meeting GDPR requirements.

If you're late to the party, which I think the majority businesses in and out of Europe are, means you have made other priorities.

Question is whether or not how hard they hit when GDPR goes live 25th of May. That remains to be seen, but it wouldn't surprise me if there's a `grace` period.
Making features smaller is far and away the most cost efficient way to make processors faster.

It is also relevant to remember fan size and processor design are at least two independent divisions in the same company (Intel, Samsung) and are often two separate companies (AMD, TSMC). Its not like the chip makers arent investing engineers in design.
It also seems to be standard corporate training procedure to tell employees that they should report any behavior like this that might suggest that a coworker is "at risk" for doing something like this.
We were talking about laws, thus more like EU vs US. In that case, Germany in the 50s was not in the EU.

Even if the EU already existed, it would be better to talk about more recent facts as the "spirit of the times" (there must be a word in German for that) changes.
> Voat is Reddit's "recycle bin."

I definitely agree, but I also remember how Reddit was considered the dumping ground for users banned on Digg and content that wasn't good enough for Digg.

Today unpleasant content probably makes up a large percentage of Voat traffic. But if a few big subreddits moved over that percentage would be dwarfed and suddenly it's no longer a Recycle Bin.

If you release games on a platform, or targeting a hardware spec which has a player base with is too small (like say, VR), and don't make enough money in your 'big bang' release, you're screwed, and your company goes under.

Heck, even if you do make some money, if its not enough to 'wow' investors, your studio will probably still be shut down. The economics of big bang release software are very hard ('Explain to me again why after making a million dollars this month you want another million dollars investment that will not generate any return for the next 2 years?'), and game companies are behind the curve in dealing with it.

The alternative (freemium) is just a race to the bottom, and its happening on steam right now the same way it happened on the app stores.

Incentives to encourage developers to target 'linux first' isn't just not going to work; its actually unethical.

You're basically paying people to target a platform that you know isn't significant enough for them to recoup the significant development costs in making games.

So yeah.

Realistically, you need to do one thing:

Figure out a way to provide a meaningful continuing income stream to developers targeting the platform.

As I understand it, what value is currently doing is attempting to bootstrap the market to consume linux games, by:

- Minimise the cost of developing on the platform by improving the tooling and making it easier to target 'cross platform' to include an additional platform (vulken, steam networking, etc).

- Make a platform that will consistently actually run said games, and push that upstream for other distributions to pick up.

- Work with partners to provide hardware that is configured in a way that can actually run that platform without having to compile the kernel yourself.

So... frankly, that seems like a pretty smart way to tackle the problem.

...but on the other hand, it hasn't been massively successful, to be fair.

Practically speaking, 'linux first' is never going to work; but I don't really know what else they can really do to help it along the way.
I don't think it's a "hidden threat" as much as it is a company racing to the bottom first.

Xiaomi has consistently shown that they don't care about security (or at least consistently enough that they have lost my trust).

> They had VR handed to them on a plate and all they've managed to ship is a tech demo. Almost feels like all these projects that should be major for them are treated like side projects.

They own the distribution of VR games. Even games that can't be distributed on Steam use their APIs, because it's the widely-supported way of doing it that works with all the headsets. Even if Valve never makes a VR game, they're going to make a lot of money from them if it ever takes off.
It basically goes like this: Company have thin margins and dev's agree to work for slave wages. Company starts to make millions in IP profits. Employees want to increase their salaries. Company says no. Employees quit. Company hires new employees, but doesn't have to increase salaries much due to market prices. The employees could probably get employed at some enterprise IT shop and make CRUD forms all day with decent pay, but what a waste of talent.

This is pioneering work, saving money in material and fabrication costs is something that will happen in the longer term when the tech is more mature.

This is a technology demonstration, not an example of super high efficiency. It also took much longer to make than it would have taken to make it in a more traditional way.

That said it still came in rather competitive compared to the alternatives, which says quite a bit about how manufacturers of such structures normally charge.

The most critical thing you need to consider when evaluating talent is value over replacement.[0] While Hillary Clinton certainly had fantastic credentials (Secretary of State, Senator) her track record for accomplishments[1] while in those positions is IMO indistinguishable from a fictitious replacement level politician. She was the presumptive nominee in 2008 and lost, but you could chalk that up to Barack Obama being highly competent. There isn't much proof that she was an extraordinary politician, in fact there is a large body of evidence to the contrary.

Used to play a MUD called 'After Hours' from 95-97. It was not 'adult-oriented', as the name would imply, although that may be why my teenaged self chose it in the first place.

It's absolutely not going to be like floating peacefully in a balloon gondola on earth. More like an endless high-G theme park ride.

>While it's true Steam Machines aren't exactly flying off the shelves

I hope they didn't expect anything else. Steam already has a limited choice of games and a console that is even more limited is a niche product at best.

To make it succeed, they need a lot of resources to get GPU manufacturers and game publishers on board (also those who took their games off Steam and created their own launchers). They need both of that only to have a chance to attack regular consoles.

There is no "down" because there was no IPO price to begin with. price_change = current_price - previous_price. There was no made up IPO price on Monday, so there was no made up level to defend.

The only previous price we had was the last private round. And I think the close was about 60% higher than their last funding round.
