I usually end up skimming/skipping lengthy food descriptions in fantasy books.

My experience with fantasy books is The Hobbit and Lord of the Rings. I tried LotR first, throwed it away after a few pages and, following advice from an expert, bought The Hobbit, that was a quick and enjoyable read. Then I turned to LotR, much better that time. But the third part was painful, not because the food, but the endless tour into Mordor. I skipped most of it, just scanning through pages to see if someone interesting showed. I guess there's a detail level beyond what regular readers get lost.
Interesting paradox. Either making cellulose is easier than breaking it up (even under the sun/rain/etc) or maybe bacteria "didn't see a reason" to tap that energy source (hence not evolving in that direction).

I don't think you understand the amount of money we're talking about here. There are YouTube channels that started as side projects that have grown in to multi-million dollar profit businesses. Keeping that as a side project because "views count is a bad business model" would be completely crazy.

Relying on YouTube is no different to relying on Google, or Amazon, or any service that people build successful businesses on. Yes, there's a risk having a single critical factor, but that doesn't automatically mean the risk is too great to still be worthwhile.

The real problem here is that YouTube has an effective monopoly as the only working platform for monetized online video. If that's the business you're in then you have to use YouTube.
> The Internet is for ordinary people

If we're at the topic of wishful thinking, I wished ordinary people would understand basic things about the internet. The purpose of humanity as a whole shouldn't be to dumb things down for "ordinary people". It should be to better teach and educate new generations, so we won't be able to assume ordinary people are dumb.

Wow. You are either willfully ignorant at best or deliverately spreading false info at worst.

Musk's Tesla package is performance based. He only get 'paid' by stock if he meets some ridiculously hard performance benchmark (ie, literally have to make Tesla the the most valuable company in the world). Not only that we won't get stock options if he doesnt meet those goals, he can't sell stock for a long period of time to make sure the stock valuation is not a temp spike. Also he doesnt get paid a single penny even if tesla stock performs somewhat better or even stays the same.
It sounds like a positive policy to me, I don't understand the backlash of the author of this article, personal details have no relation to domain names and I don't see why they should.
OLPC was a huge success. But not the way Negroponte expected.

The OLPC scared the industry to death. MS was so scared that it made Windows work on it. Tablets did not exist as consumer goods at the time (we had some but only for businesses and they were not practical to use) and all the major PC maker were expected year after year to churn out low cost laptops for the "education" market.

Then tablets came and the whole product category just disappeared.

Why I Started Piano Lessons at 26
It's possible. I came to Silicon Valley with a Honda CRX and the stuff that would fit in it, a degree from the University of California and a net worth of about negative $2500. I left sixteen years later a multimillionaire.

I'm glad I left. It is a good place to get rich if you're a programmer. But I'm never going back.

I enjoyed the first couple of years in Silicon Valley. I started to hate it more every year after that.

If I was 21 years old now with a CS/CE/EE degree, I'd go to another second-tier tech hub, like NYC, Austin or maybe Boulder.

Well, sort of, I think. The thing is that these 'outsiders' don't have a fresh or independent take. They come packed full of previously established ideas and ways of thinking. I don't just mean preconceptions; I mean something like how ethnographies were found to employ very common tropes, or how so-called science documentaries misrepresent research by making a story look like a primetime detective show.

Why do think so many of these outside stories seem the same? The short answer is tropes. These don't only concern the forms any story can take, but also actually shape how one conceives of things.

Besides, the Bay Area employs more than 1M people just in sw/hw connected roles (engineers, product managers, project managers, operations, and testing). The outsiders look at a subgroup that represents less than 5% and equate that the tech industry out here.

Um, the article does actually explicitly mention such a microbe, as that is the origin of the titular enzyme! Do I misunderstand something, or you didn't read the article? It's hard for me to understand the "What would happen if a microbe evolved..." question when the article literally says:

"[The] PETase [enzyme] is secreted by a plastic-munching bacterium called Ideonella sakaiensis 201-F6. This bug was discovered in 2016 at a PET-bottle recycling plant in Sakai, Japan."
There are two issues here.

- First, the spyware angle.
The software actively spied on the user and sent back everything. No other anti-cheat does this and no company ever betrayed users like this. (Except for ESEA who implemented a bitcoin miner in their client at some point. And yes, people including me remember.)

- The fact that people got banned for not even cheating!
This is the ridiculous part.
First, ArenaNet or Guild Wars 2 has NO RIGHTS to ban users for cheating in any other title. Valve has no right to ban me, because I install a mod for GTA V. Blizzard cannot ban me, because I use a trainer for FFXV.

Second. Other companies like Evenbalance makes sure there is a valid signature, and they even do screenshots, etc. It's not just a blind ban "because I think so".

I hope, some at least, see the pattern/point here.
Third. I, for example, had MMOMinion's framework installed, and of course, I may have launched it by mistake, I cannot remember. It was pinned in my start menu but I have not used it in a year or so. I did NOT have the bots installed for either GW2 and FFXIV - so the program by itself had zero capability to even attach a cheat.

So basically, I had zero cheats installed, but had a software that COULD BE used for cheats. This is beyond ridiculous. It's like banning everyone for using Windows, because Windows is capable of running cheats. This is just utter nonsense, there are no words to describe such level of stupidity.

- To top this all off, Anet still did not post anything, still have not accepted that they just pulled a huge blunder. Their "chief of security" (some weaboo with "excellent skills" as he has just demonstrated) should have been apologizing ever since the spyware was found. But no, to hell with that. Their only response is "you accepted the eula."

tl;dr: The bans are false positive. Lots of them. It's a messed up ban, it should not have stayed active, it should have been reverted a long time ago until they come up with a better solution.

Like I already told you, in order to fix your ignorance of how researchers use jargon, you can go through the literature. I'm sorry, but I'm not here to teach you these things, and it's not really my concern whether you're informed or not. I can recommend using Google Scholar as a starting point if you'd actually (surprisingly) be interested in educating yourself.
I had the same exciting thought before it dawned on me that we usually choose plastics for a reason. Imagine water bottles breaking down in the store. Imagine protective coatings of ships breaking down. While I'd be happy for the mess we created in the oceans, I'm unsure if this would just trigger another arms race for more indestructible materials — that would clog the oceans once again.

Why would you need to do that? Why not just give every message a timestamp, make sure they get sent, and sort the messages on the receiver side? If you're really concerned about message order, you could give every message a unique id, and send out the id of the previous message with every message, and improve your sort function accordingly.
Part 3 of Introduction to Aspose.CAD, an API to convert and export CAD files
Great work guys! I listened to the Friday episode and have some feedback for you.

It's great that you guys treat it like a real news segment and have a neutral stance on each post. But don't be afraid to give your own opinion on the subject. Steve Gibson from the Security Now podcast is an outgoing character that is not afraid to speak up on new topics.

To me, what the community writes in the discussion is generally more interesting than the article itself, this probably deserves more time. Tangents and arguments are always fun.

Hope you guys keep making these, it's a monumental task to do a podcast everyday, but well worth it in the end!

Fiat also means the email service couldn't be global, because Trusted-Third-Party-based payment processors can't operate globally owing to the global regulatory patchwork.

If this is indeed a blanket banning of AWS and GCP, then I assume that Amazon and Google will soon remove Telegram.

Or maybe it required a leap of evolution in a direction in which there was no other evolutionary pressure to take the first steps and make subsequent steps smaller and thus more likely? Complex mutations are probably more rare if the environment does not facilitate doing it bit by bit.
Very fast. And not just that. A big part of the cost and complexity of Crossrail isn't the tunnelling but rather the (re)builds of the stations, the remodelling and reconstruction of the above-ground street areas to increase capacity there too, and many other subtleties that people don't tend to think about.

It's the biggest civil engineering project in Europe, or so they say. And a big part of that is because you don't just massively increase transport capacity into the core of a major metro area. That would just overload all the other infrastructure.
