I don't necessarily disagree but I don't think it's ever been that elitist. Almost anybody can form a legally recognised company and/or have a representative (yes lawyer, accountant, "professionals") stand in for them on public records.

There just seems to be this recent backlash against public records. In the UK, you buy a house and your name goes on the public record (along with the sale price). This seems very similar and useful for similar reasons.

No disagreement that it can also give you an involuntary spamgasm but that's just a symptom of another problem. Cold calling and spamming people still pays the bills.
If the metaphorical parties require you to be fashion-obsessed, you missed nothing.
I have a slightly different take on what will drive adoption of these cars.

Insurance.

If there is a significant reduction of cost from an insurance perspective, the cost to insure a human-driven vehicle will increase substantially to the point that it will become a burden to own a vehicle that isn't driven by software.

That is, unless the government feels the need to intervene here. But, business seems to have the ear of government a lot more than the citizens do now days.
You can explain just that in the response and not much more.

Even if the patient reveals PHI you should avoid confirming or acknowledging it as the "covered entity" under HIPAA. A confirmation of a diagnosis is different than a person discussing symptoms. I would argue that you probably should avoid even acknowledging that the person is a patient or has been seen in the office. The approach will reinforce to others how seriously you take privacy and you can taut your customer service policies, etc.

I wouldn't call this unfair since all providers are in the same situation.

(This isn't legal advice, obviously.)
I think the game being free attracts a lot more casual gamers, myself included
I understand your intent and I'm not suggesting you oughta do anything differently, but I am not sure how net good it is that older devs' labor is being sold at a discount.

My understanding is that silicon valley hasn't cured aging yet, so until that happens, this seems like yet another market distortion that favors employers at the expense of labor (or 'YAMDTFEAEL' for short)
What's the catch though? Domain registration is a pretty competitive business. How come NameSilo can to be so much cheaper?
Five of the six people on my team, including me, are over 30; four of us are over 40. I must admit that although devs with that level of experience are "expensive", they start to look a lot cheaper when you realise the additional value they add due to experience. Software development, as with many things in life, often follows the adage that you get what you pay for. (It should go without saying, but it's a sad inevitability that there will be exceptions.)

This is a poor article. Props to Fortnite for having a higher percentage of female players, but the article doesn't provide any legit justification for it. An inside source providing vague information doesn't really help the legitimacy of the article.

The game isn't as much aimed as females as gender neutral. Without spending money there is a random chance that you play each match as a boy or girl, and the idea that "when you play as a girl character, guys will help you” is complete bs.

More important to the games success (and it's higher percentage of women playing) is a lower barrier to entry than other more hardcore games such as PUBG or Battlefield. The game was designed to be easy to get in to, and is available on almost all platforms. This more than anything has led to it's smashing success, not "women characters"
Are you disregarding the hypothetical assumptions of the question? Particularly that the people would not tire, age, or die, and already have all required knowledge.

Or, is your argument that the tasks involved in building an 8086-level computer and prerequisites are not serializable?
Agreed, that would set a dangerous precedent that would force many to consider alternatives

I just went on their yelp page and was noticed a huge spike in negative review (talk about the streisand effect...). but what surprised me was the yelp notification:
"Active Cleanup Alert

This business recently made waves in the news, which often means that people come to this page to post their views on the news.

While we don’t take a stand one way or the other when it comes to these news events, we do work to remove both positive and negative posts that appear to be motivated more by the news coverage itself than the reviewer’s personal consumer experience with the business.

As a result, your posts to this page may be removed as part of our cleanup process beginning Tuesday, May 29, 2018, but you should feel free to post your thoughts about the recent media coverage for this business on Yelp Talk at any time. "

So is it like the news coverage never happened ? seems kind of disingenuous to remove everything during that period (whatever time frame they will decide on is interesting too)

I expect a revolution on home-made ICs in the next few decades.

Let's be realistic here

1) Fridge finds several items completely empty and proceeds to order groceries at markup

2) Website schedules car to be driven to store at 2:00 am based on federal congestion laws regarding autonomous vehicles

3) Next day at opening store robot takes groceries packed by union worker to car park queue, gets around to your vehicle an hour later

4) Negotiation between Car, Robot, and rent-seeking middleman occurs, groceries violently placed in trunk

5) Car drives off home

6) Car notifies human that groceries have arrived, human notifies domestic robot groceries have arrived

7) Domestic robot places most of the groceries in the fridge but can't find space for the eggs

8) Lazy human requests that domestic robot gets them a can of beer. Is given eggs instead

Millions of americans pay those sticker prices. Just because millions more don't or get discounts doesn't change the fact that those are very real prices.
I have no idea, PUBG Mobile also had lots more female playing and I asked a few times all they said was "It is very exciting!", the game is basically the same as CS, Battlefield or all other similar shooting game.

My guess is that, Mobile has a much lower barrier of entry, no more "computers" installing and set up, spec to play, complex keyboard input etc.

It is simple to understand, point and shoot.

It takes little time, 15 to 30 min a game. No grinding like WoW. As a matter of fact there are also lots of female playing LoL as well. But I think PUBG Mobile and Fortnite is on another level. And these female players, are a lot more willing to spend on in game clothings!

I have a few female friends who never play much mobile games, and couldn't understand why man spend a fortune in a game loot. But the first time they pay PUBG Mobile they decide to buy a nice hat and skirt...... And they asked did we spend all our money on clothing in games... ( Um.. no )

Another point worth pointing out is E-Sport / Gaming has level the playing field of male and female. No longer do genetics and muscle define what can or could not be done. ( Actually they properly still do but much less so then in real world ) And they are actually quite good at aiming and Snipers.

Tesla/SolarCity previously imposed unfair fees on potential solar power purchasers, which virtually killed the local solar market.

Don't you mean SRP imposed unfair fees? That's how I read the below snippet (without any background)

There’s been a good 20+ years of marketing games only to males - if it’s finally turning so that there’s not a huge social pressure for any popular game to be a “guys only” thing, especially in gradeschool then this is a momentous occasion.
I don't know if I buy that - Fortnite is still a shooter at its heart and anything you build is extremely short-lived.

Compared to Sims/Minecraft/Stardew Valley, where your creation lives on for the entirety of the time you spend with the game.

The hardest technological barrier to overcome is production and casting of high grade metals at scale. All the primitive tech guys on youtube have an easy time with everything until it gets to making a furnace capable of smelting iron. That's difficult as all hell and then building all the parts and the ore supply chain to scale that up is a very long process. Once scalable metals production gets going, one can progress to chemicals and then to electricity and to optics to semiconductors eventually.

The big problem I found with type-centric languages is that they end up using long chains of types that are hard to reason about. With dynamic languages you usually just have to "match a structure" and don't have a tree of type dependencies to grok and/or tangle up your code.

Still I wish it were easy to check the basic type of parameters to avoid surprises. I propose a series of characters to check basic types:

# = integer
% = decimal/floating number
@ = date/time
~ = required (not blank or empty)

And it would be "parse-able as" rather than have a hidden type tag inside variables[1]. That's why we don't need a string: everything can be a string.

Example:

function foo(#myInt, ~@myRequiredDate, %myNumber, myString) {
write(myInt, myRequiredDate, etc);
}

See how compact that is? You don't need the markers inside the function body.

[1] I'm against tagged typing, other than for internal optimization. Essentially a programmer can think of every variable as a string, and types a feature of fitting a format (parsing). Tagged types are hard to debug because they are not WYSIWYG: you can't tell from the output what the tag is.

What strikes me as weird is that I liked the Fortnite that came before Fortnite - that is, the co-op survival mode, not the battle arena mode.

When people talk about "Fortnite," they almost always mean the latter. I'd be curious to see how the battle arena demographics compare to the co-op demographics.
Why would you go out of your way?
I forget the name of the paradox, but the gist is: we cannot recreate our current technology from scratch with our current technology. Because many intermediate layers have between removed and made obsolete.

I don't disagree with you that things have coalesced by consensus over a period of the past 25 years, for what IP space people should and can use, and what IP space you shouldn't use (eg: I have no doubt that a bunch of enterprise end users are using some of the US military/DoD assigned /8s internally, because those never show up on the global internet. It's wrong, but they do it anyways).

However, the RFC1918 IP ranges have existed for a very, very long time, as have the standard documentation/example IP ranges which Cisco, Juniper and others have been using in their training and example publications since 1995 or so. People have had more than twenty years to number their internal networks into the ranges that, also by consensus, the global internet community has decided to make non-globally-routable (192.168, 10.x, 172.16, etc). RFC1918 was published 22 years ago so there is really no excuse.

If you are using 1/8 in the year 2018 for your own internal production traffic, you are wrong and should feel bad. IANA and APNIC (and APNIC's contracted partner, Cloudflare) should be able to begin using ranges as granular as an individual /24 within this /8 on the public Internet without worrying that people who have misconfigured their shit will have a broken experience. It will take time for people to move their misconfigured erroneous configurations into normal RFC1918 IP space, but it will happen eventually. Or maybe not, if v6 adoption speeds up this becomes irrelevant.

Parent post said "BASIC and QB..." that's why I specified "BASIC for MS-DOS". I guess that was ambiguous. Technically I was using BASICA.COM (Advanced Basic on PC-DOS which relied on BASIC subroutines stored in ROM, which only IBM PCs, not compatibles, had) not GW-Basic which is what MS-DOS used, which had all the routines in the executable which loaded into RAM, and ended up running programs faster.
A significant amount of people have been duped into voting against their own interests.
I think what he’s saying is that if the attacker has enough IP addresses at their disposal, they can spread out the attack broadly enough that any IP-based rate limit that would stop a bot would also impact human users. Thus most of the bot attempts slip in under the rate limit.

Yeah - I think good design should be as simple as it can while respecting the complexity of the task. Designers forget that not everyone is building search engine front pages or like, the kind of simple objects with no moving parts that tend to get touted as good design.

I'm building a development environment for professionals using a complicated DSL to interface with a powerful AI. No beginners in emergencies should ever see this thing - my users got graduate degrees to get to this point, and they're going to have to learn to use it to do their job.

It is federated in a manner similar to traditional email. There are many different servers with many users on each one, it's straightforward to run your own server, and users on server A can easily communicate with users on server B.

If your server goes down for some reason, much like email, you'll lose the ability to log in and post, but anyone on a different server will be unaffected.

I don't believe there's any particularly special DB replication features in the reference server implementation, but there's nothing inherent in the system that would prevent someone writing a customized durable/distributed version of the server.

To Predict Turbulence, Count the Puffs (2014)
How is it still possible that so much of game's marketing budgets are still almost exclusively aimed at male players? For example, Fallout 4 has the creative building, storytelling, and (much more so in New Vegas, but even in 4) it is to your advantage to play a female character due to perks. And yet I don't see any marketing stills with a female PC in the first page of Google image search. This is anecdotal, but I have two female friends who both continue to play skyrim, but never tried any of the fallout games. The saddest part is the very vocal outcries any time a studio tries to appeal to women. Sure, pandering is bad, but there's a wide difference between pandering and what epic games is doing. Plus, a bonus is that inclusive marketing also seems to attract more 'non-gamers' in general,leading to their current throne of cash.
It's very plausible. Most answers are concerned with the technical side, but the real difficulty is achieving a stable society with a continued interest in science and research. Organized civilizations have existed for millennia but war, religious zealotry and social uprisings have been resetting scientific advances every so often.

The unknown Greek engineer who built/programmed the Antikythera Mechanism in the 2nd century BC could have worked with Babbage in his 19th century Difference Engine. Add the steam-powered Aeolipile of 1st century AD and the basic technical ingredients for the industrial revolution were already present in classical Greece. However, the proper social factors that allowed the exponential growth in science and research that resulted in the development of microelectronics and the information society are extremely difficult to achieve, more so than the merely technical ones.

There is quite some academic research on games and gender that, as a group, female gamers are more found on mobile than on console or pc.

But I also wonder: isn't it just age as well? I feel younger people (e.g. 15 to 20) nowadays are more into gaming in general compared to 30 year olds. The world is getting more digital and people are introduced to it in a much more rapid fashion (e.g. seeing an iPhone or iPad at the age of 4).
It would have been great if they took the time to interview a few female players of Fortnite for the article. It would have provided some perspective into what pulls them into the game.

Is it celebrities that play? character skins? social elements like emotes?

The casual-ness of the game I think pulls in a wider spectrum of people. Casual meaning you don't need to understand RPG elements, deep story or history, achievements to move ahead, etc. You just download and play and everyone is on a level playing field.
Overqualification is judged based on job history, though. Unfortunately, having a lot of experience is correlated with age.

I completely agree it should be discussed during the interview, but I don’t think that will always work out for the job candidate.
