I didn't know it was pay-to-win at first. I just installed the game from the app store and started playing it. It was somewhat fun. Turns out performing repetitive tasks in order to increase a bunch of numbers in a database can be enjoyable if you hide that fact behind some nice drawings.

Eventually I made some friends and joined a group of players. We started battling other people and winning. We got so excited we started buying stuff. We rose to the top pretty quickly. I was among the best. It's a nice feeling. It wasn't even that hard to keep this up, I just had to spend a few dollars a month for some items.

At some point casual players got tired of losing to us and quit the game. Eventually, the population of my server got so low they merged it with another one. This introduced more strong players into the server, making it harder to compete. It wasn't so easy to stay on top anymore. I started spending more money but I wasn't able to keep up with the best players.

Then they merged servers again and I realized I'd have to spend hundreds if not thousands of dollars a month just to keep up with them. That's when I stopped playing. It doesn't matter how much I spend, someone is always going to spend more.
RISC-V is open instruction set, not open microarchitecture.

You won't see high performance open source micrarchitectures that implements RISC-V core.

Nobody is going to invest $300-$500M to develop new competitive open source microarchitecture (patent free?) every 5-10 years for RISC-V that can compete with Intel, AMD and others.
> So, we got hold of a USB GSM modem and used a prepaid phone SIM. This allowed us to receive unlimited messages for free.

Keep in mind it is common (at least in EU) for mobile providers to forbid M2M and M2P traffic when using typical customer tariff plan, especially ones with unlimited messages. It's quite easy to detect it and SIM cards used in such way are blocked rather quickly.
Anything that is made of inexpensive electronics will increase in price. Then anything that uses electronics will go up in price.

It is tough to say how much, as demand will shift to equivelant products as the cost increases, but it's safe to say the any computer hardware will have some increase in price. Since computers are used in every industry it could cause any other low margin product to increase in price as there is no room for the company to eat the cost of the tariff.

The interesting part is that we don't know how the economy will respond to tech becoming more expensive as that is not the trend. Technology usually gets less expensive.

I'm only focusing on the tech side of things. There could be different affects in other industies.
Sure, but some are very short, and others are very long and impenetrable. I like ones with examples. A better option is often "foo -h".

If you're searching for an open-source self-hosted alternative that offers corporate features like LDAP integration take a look at SysPass (https://github.com/nuxsmin/sysPass). Doesn't look as nice as Bitwarden though.
>I'm not convinced by reason #1 because words are distinct even in speech. No matter how fast or continuous your speech when you say, "The dog jumped", everyone will agree that "dog" is a distinct thing, even if you're illiterate.

Segmenting words is actually a quite complex cognitive task that takes a while to acquire, usually considered in the framework of statistical learning[0].

Another aspect here is that the concept of a word is somewhat fuzzy, with compound words[1] emerging quite naturally, particularly in some languages. For relatively recent examples of compounds in English, consider "website" and "cellphone" (both of which are now, as a separate step, gradually becoming the default meanings of "site" and "phone").

So I don't find it too surprising that once upon a time word segmentation was even more flexible.

Wanted to say just about the same thing. RISC-V presents a lot of possibilities. Whether they turn into reality is a whole different matter.

Same goes for the following statement:

"Proprietary products can be severely insecure, and because they can’t benefit from years of scrutiny from open source developers and industry experts"

Just because you can benefit from something doesn't mean you will. Heartbleed taught me this lesson again to make sure. So while I'm excited about the new possibilities, I'm managing my expectations at the moment.
> Without envy, there is no point to socialism; if I don't care what my neighbour has, why would I ask the state to enforce its redistribution?

I don't agree, you can ask for redistribution so the weakest in society are helped.
Her free speech was not regulated, she can say whatever she wants. She didn't break any laws. The state is not prosecuting her. And everybody else has the freedom of (non-)association.

This is probably easier to follow if you have read Clausewitz, and understand the pressures pertaining to an on-foot army. E.g. the references to "foraging" would today probably be called "looting".

The central organisational challenge was: how to march 250,000 men on foot across a continent with no motor transport for supplies nor radio communications? It was more effective to spread out, but this required delegating authority down the hierarchy. Effectively the Grand Armee was a set of smaller micro-armies that allowed it to overcome the scaling challenge.
Also, the times a manpage contains examples seems like 1 in 20.
I'm not sure your comment is an accurate description of any form of socialism I'm aware of. What forms of socialism are based around "asking the state to enforce redistribution"?

What does that have to do with social ownership of the means of production??
I agree, fairness != equality. While I'm a great believer in fairness, the problem with it is that it opens up to arbitration. What I consider fair may not be what you consider fair. Equality OTOH is measurable.
But what's a successful backdooring attempt? Any security bug/vuln found in the kernel could have been planted. But perhaps what's what you meant, to have a database of such things, though I doubt it'll make it easier. Serious attackers would either use a custom method or look at what is rarely used on the list so it doesn't trigger any alarms.
I don't like the idea of needing the machine to explain to me how my own code actually works.

I think it's useful to turn that on its head a little -- I know how the code should work, but a debugger can show me what it's actually doing, so I can see what's going wrong.

I don't think there's a big difference here between debugging and testing, say. Couldn't you also say that tests explain how your own code works?

I'm afraid of building a habit of making haphazard tweaks until it seems to DTRT in one case.

I like to think of debugging more as a science. It's literally a mix of theory and experiment: the program does something weird, you run some random experiments to gather more data, you come up with a theory that explains the results, you design an experiment to test your theory; a successful theory will then lead you to the correct fix.

A good debugger can help get the most data from your experiments. It's as if the LHC had sensors capable of tracking individual gluons, or the ability to replay a specific collision over and over, or even the ability to set up a desired collision from scratch.
Not all domains have libraries which can run tests that fast?
Being suspicious is the job of anyone dealing with security.

As gowld already pointed out, the distinction between traditional property and "intellectual property" is not as strong as it is often painted.

I would say for the larger part, the exclusivity in both is artificial. As gowld points out, for many physical things there exist fair sharing schemes. And historically, when public lands were enclosured to become private property, it was an artificial process which explicitly created the exclusion. This exclusion wasn't needed from economic point of view.
#2 is alowly getting there where I'm living in denmark. Not sure if it's a funtion entirely of the regulatory environment but perhaps also luck of geography but the cheapest things (vegetables, pasta, rice) mean that for the price of a chocolate bar you can make several healthy meals.

For the most part, people do cook these basic foods, usually with some meat thrown in where they can (The crowd I associate with aren't the wealthiest)

#3 I experienced this a lot growning up in a city that was deliberately designed like this and built up from farmland in the 70s in the UK. I feel like the design has been so successful (popping up an entire city from nothing in 50 years) that other countries should really consider also investing in creating new properly designed cities as a response to the idea 'the big cities were designed badly when first built and now we're stuck with them'

>>>But the guy is intelligent, he was hired to an important project at Apple.

No data, but I believe that you can be extremely bright in a lot of things and dumb as a rock on other very basic things. Maybe arrogance plays a part too.

It's safe to assume that x% of Russian and Chinese employees do talk to, and plan to go back to the mothership. Must be the greatest ROI for the Chinese, tens of billion dollars worth of R&D in a hard-drive. (granted it's not the same since while researching you learn a lot of other things, but presumably the Chinese want those few things that they haven't figured them out already.)
A lot of pay to win games are free to play, so casual gamers get sucked in and before they know it they’re shelving out more than they would on a AAA title just to buy some imaginary cards (I’m looking at you, Hearthstone). Drug dealers have a similar tactic, hah.

As for buying an unfinished game or preordering before reviews are out - it’s got to be marketing. New is more exciting than old, even if old is proven and cheaper. There are plenty of analogies for that one out there!
> This isn’t an article about how microservices architecture is somehow bad, it’s an article about how bad Segment’s engineering team is.

Wow. This is the level of discourse we've reached here now.

Why the ad hominem? If you have an actual point to make on technical merit, by all means, make it. Were you passed on in a job interview at Segment? Why the hostility? (honest question)
"Socially owning the means of production" requires a state to enforce, with threat of force, the ownership of those resources of production..
I don't think this is about "protect[ing] language from being captured by formal analysis", it's about calling out bogus analysis when you see it.

This "vividness" analysis is bogus for two reasons: (1) The idea that individual words have objectively different levels of "vividness" completely divorced from context (when and where the novel was written, which character is speaking, etc.) is extremely debatable; (2) The idea that the "vividness" of individual words makes the novel as a whole "vivid" is a logical fallacy (compositional fallacy).

I'm 100% behind the use of "formal analysis" to extract new insights into literature and language – there are examples where it has been done very well [1] – but analysis has to be robust, which I don't think it is here.

I am trying to do this right now, I want to make android apps but I already have one strike on my account and the threat of losing everything associated with Google is too much. I already successfully moved my email but that took something like a year. Finding all the places where I used that address wasn't easy. I am now wrestling with photos, I haven't found a service that I like yet. I'll try nextcloud but I am not very keen on paying for a vps just for that and all my other have their resources allocated to running other websites. Another VERY important one for me is really Google maps. I travel a lot and both the public transport features and search are extremely useful. And last but not least apps. I don't know if I can make it with just f-droid. For example, neither maps.me or Here WeGo are on it.
This [1] is perhaps not a source of the sort you're probably looking for, but it's insightful nonetheless. It's a list of various 'jokes' from Russia during the soviet era. The stories they implicitly tell provide a broad overview of many issues. The reason I think those 'jokes' are appropriate is because the stories they implicitly tell are ones I've heard spoken of innumerous times prior.

I enjoy chess, which thrived during the soviet era. Consequently, I've found myself listening to and on occasion chatting with countless individuals who lived through these times. Even given the great privilege players were granted of the times (yeah, everybody is equal in #ism - some just more so than others), it is absolutely phenomenal to hear how abysmal it all was. These stories invariably come up, particularly given the complete ignorance of many on the topic today.

One anecdote that stuck with me was Peter Svidler [2] recalling how much of a shift in culture there was when Donald Duck made its way to Russia. How the people, even grown men, became deeply fond of it - not as a character, but as a symbol of the opening of culture and the freedom of the people. It's a world that's even difficult to imagine, but I think that through an abundance of tales one can begin to at least somewhat grasp the society that their communism created, and more generally that communism seems to inherently create - as one might note the parallels between the Bolshevik Revolution, China's Great Leap Forward, and the numerous smaller tales that all seem to effect the same catastrophic result.

I would love to share my testimony to all the people in the forum cos I never thought i will have my girlfriend back and she means so much to me. The girl I want to get marry to left me few weeks to our wedding for another man. When I called her she never picked my calls, She blocked me on her facebook and changed her facebook status from engage to Single, when I went to her place of work she told her boss she never want to see me. I lost my job as a result of this cos I couldn't get myself anymore, my life was upside down and everything did not go smooth with my life. I tried all I could do to have her back to all did not work out until I met a Man when I travel to East to execute some business that I have been developing some years back. I told him my problem and all I have passed through in getting her back and how I lost my job, he told me he gonna help me, I didn't believe that in the first place. But he swore he will help me out and he told me the reason why my girlfriend left me and also told me some hidden secrets’ was amazed when I heard that from him...he said he will cast a spell for me and I will see the results in the next couple of days..then I travel back, the following day and i called him when I got home and he said he’s busy casting those spells and he has bought all the materials needed for the spells, he said am gonna see positive results in the next 14 days that is Thursday. My girlfriend called me at exactly 12:35pm on Thursday and apologies for all she had done. She said, she never knew what she was doing and her sudden behavior was not intentional and she promised not to do that again. It was like am dreaming when I heard that from her and when we ended the call, I called the man and told him my girl friend called and he said I haven’t seen anything yet… he said I will also get my job back. And when its Sunday, they called me at my place of work that I should resume work on Monday and they gonna compensate me for the time limit I have spent at home without working...My life is back into shape have my girlfriend back and we are happily married now with a baby boy and I have my job back too. This man is really powerful...if we have up to 20 people like him in the world, the world would have been a better place...He has also helped many of my friends to solve many problems and they are all happy now...Am posting this to the forum for anybody that is interested in meeting the man for help. You can mail him to erika_raven_temple@ religious. com, I can’t give out his number cos he told me he don’t want to be disturbed by many people across the world...he said his email is okay and he also have a web site if you want to visit him there’ he will replied to any emails asap..Hope he helped u out too...good luck. His web site is ericaraventemple. webs. com
Half-Life 1 (GoldSrc engine) Quality of Life Changes
All software architects are just going gaga over this Microservices architecture. Microservices architecture is not for everyone. You need to consider a lot of factors before adopting this model in your system and organization.
Everybody is only talking about the positive aspects of moving to microservices.
Ask yourself, do you really need microservices architecture?
To find out, you should ask yourself these questions:

How independent do you want your services to be?

How well your code is organized? Mono repo or multiple repositories?

How much operational complexity can your team handle?

Do you have a Continuous Delivery platform in place?

How is your team organized? Do they have knowledge about different toolsets and microservices architecture?

Then focus on the existing case studies like this and make an architectural strategy.

How to evaluate an API/Tool?
Some time ago I read a comment and a link to an article that provides a 1-10 score to an API that I found quite insightful. For the live of me, I haven't been able to find it again (YCombinator search & Google).

The highest score on the list is something along the lines of:

<You cannot use it wrong.>

Followed by items such as:
- <You cannot use it wrong if you read the documentation.>
- <You cannot use it wrong if you read the documentation and provide correct input.>

And ends with something along the lines of:
<You cannot use it right>

The article linked was an article evaluating command-line tools on Linux IIRC.

Any help would be much appreciated!

“Although the island is predator free, and the birds are safe from predation, there are still large threats facing this small population. Sand dunes are particularly vulnerable to erosion and turbulent seas have cut away much of their habitat. Climate change and storm surges also threaten the species’ survival.”

It's great to see how far open-source tech has come that someone like the author is able to switch to non-google services!

Moreover, I'd just like to mention that it would be fine to leave the gmail account open if it was just for password resets, etc (I've left mine open for whatever obscure service that I might have forgotten to switch over). It is a bit annoying yes, but Google does not really get any data out of it from you apart from knowing which services you have an account on.
