It depends on the game... Overwatch has such generous hitboxes on weapons (other than hitscan) that it doesn't matter if you clicked where they were two frames ago... you still hit their hitbox.

Obviously there is benefit to reducing network latency, but it's really about the edge cases (being hooked out of ice block, dying after you translocate). While true that having your video delayed means that the game can't compensate for lag effects, I doubt it matters... if you had 0ms video latency you'd be hooked out of iceblock and die. With the video latency, you were dead before you ice blocked. Either way, you died.

In the end, I doubt people are reacting to anything within 20ms. They used information from 100ms ago to decide what to do, decided what to do and when, and then did it. A video delay won't prevent you from doing that. (More Overwatch examples: use Sombra's translocator to not die to the D.va bomb. You only have a few frames of invulnerability, but you have so long to make the decision to do it that even very low rank players can do it 99% of the time. When you switch to having video lag, you will still be able to do it, but you'll have to re-learn how. The latency doesn't matter, the fact that the game changed a little does.)

The only people in their right mind who would subject themselves to the ungodly dignity/torture of coach travel rather than business would be those who don't have money and can't afford the significant difference in comfort that you get in business. I'm 5'6" (short), and travel about 140K miles/year, and I can't think of anything I do each year more miserable than sitting in coach for 14-16 hour flights.

But note - I'm not suggesting that you are making the wrong decision - just that you are making it because you have to think about the cost of flying coach, you aren't at "L3" wealth and so need to think about the marginal value associated with the money you are spending. 99% of people at L3 don't hesitate for a second to book a business class ticket. (In fact, when you are truly at L3 you probably consider flying first class (emirates has awesome First Class Cabins) - or, if we want to stretch the definition a little, opting out of flying commercial altogether)

Dota is a bit deceptive like that; it is secretly a slow and deliberate game. IMO most of the deaths occur 2-5 seconds before the action begins when a hero gets out of position.

There was a moment in game 1 that was the exception proving the rule for me. The bot playing lion successfully disabled the human initiator on earthshaker at the end of the game. It looked like a superhuman reaction, but it was also a bit different from all the other fights of the game where it was usually the fundamental position being too far in the AIs favour - they had a gold advantage and had been developing a lead through the entire game by consistently trading deaths 1-0, 2-1 or 3-2 in engagements.

The potentially superhuman reaction took the game from "looks like bots are winning" to "humans resign now", but the vast bulk of the advantage was that the bots simply had a better understanding of which team enjoyed a superior position. I would not be surprised if higher bot reaction times (+100-300ms range) weren't all that impactful on the results.

It'll be really interesting when the courier distortion is removed and the AI has to play more defensively. Also, I suppose the actual, harder to articulate, complaint in the "reaction time" complaint is that the bot teammates have the capacity to chain abilities more accurately and have played so many hours together there is an advantage there that isn't 'fair'. It'll be a fun milestone when they can drop a single bot in a pub game where their teammates aren't all that coordinated.

I created a donor advised fund at the end of 2017. Looked at my assets and basically said, I'll put away 4-5 years worth of charitable donations.

1) With the tax changes going down, the benefit this year would be greater than any future year

2) with the changes increasing the standard deduction and limiting the SALT deduction, even if I would itemize in the future, it be less valuable.

Also, some questions you might want to answer on the main page/in examples:

* What platforms are supported?

* How big is the standard library?

* How do I encode/decode JSON/XML?

* What's the C FFI story?

* Are there benchmarks?

Why is Amazon negotiating/receiving offers from outside the gov't? Seems odd.

They could pick a specific city and the city council could say "hell no" or just be unable to pass legislation to deliver on it.
Yeah, high-ish salaries. Everyone works until 10pm. Get off work and get drunk. Complain about how Amazon took away your life and cost you your marriage, but hey they offer free marriage counseling now as a result (true story).

Amazon is incredibly efficient, and that's good. But please don't let them take over a city with their work life culture.
Long article, but no real mention of how new england towns shaped US democracy. The land and climate had as much impact as the people.

NE is farmland. They grow things. That means you need stable government and strong property laws to protect the farmers' investments in the land from year to year. Farms need a stable labour supply. Conversely, resource extraction communities (forestry, mining etc) care more about transportation links. They will ship people in as needed. Skill is more important than labour. And as everyone is only there temporarily, longstanding feuds tend to be put asside in the rush to make money before the resources are all extracted. The gold-rush and cattle communities of the west were politicaly very different than new england towns.

Climate was also important. NE has (had) very cold and long winters. So people needed shelter (property/rent etc) and labor was availible for non-farm stuff (industrialization). Compare to the US south where the longer growing season meant less industrialization and a greater focus on labor housed as cheaply as possible.
There are people who store historical DNS records for forensic and validation purposes. And any CA worth its salt that does DV will be doing the same for any domain they're issuing certs for, at a minimum.

I think that's a good general assumption. But in the case of Android, I think of it (and Chrome) more as a defensive move. Google's business depends on having access to users. A free browser and a free mobile OS are a loss leader so that nobody can cut off their major revenue streams.

Not that we shouldn't keep an eye on them, of course. The great bulk of their revenue comes from advertising, which is all about selling users to advertisers. But I don't think Android makes the picture any worse.

I was astonished to learn that you can sort of scrape your from-console resources into a CloudFormation template, but you cannot get a stack to manage them inplace. Instead you have to blow them away (manually!) and have CloudFormation create a new stack from scratch, because it only touches stuff it created with hidden stack tags.

Terraform import is pretty painful but at least it can handle this.
> "Hypocrisy" gets thrown around way too often on the Internet, and if you do so you are basically always wrong, either because it's not actually hypocrisy at all (the word is not a synonym for "anything I don't like") or because it's a meaningless thing to say anyway vs more substantive complaints.

Another thing - hypocrisy has no bearing on the conclusion of the argument. You can be a hypocrite and be logically correct. OTOH, you can be far away from a hypocrite and be wrong.

* Automated Criteria for Modularization: We all know, since Parnas, that modularizing code Is A Good Thing. But modules are made of modules, we have levels of modularization, blocks, functions, classes, files, directories, frameworks, packages, ..... and an awful horrible spaghetti tangle of syntactic and semantic and causal dependencies between them. I believe graph theory could be expanded to address these issues directly.
If it were a priority vs other items, it would have been done. It's not a priority and one of the last things on the list because doing so exposes their Bot to a much broader range of intellectual challenge as per the game design. Now, without sound rebuttals, I too have been downvoted. This is why a certain aspect of the tech community will be forever resigned to Weak AI masquerading as strong AI. You aren't open to new ideas or challenges and mask the glaring issues of a particular approach behind canned demos.

My points stand on their own. I take downvotes w/ no sound rebuttals as a signal that I'm saying something that right and an inconvenient truth.

JUCE is a cross-platform C++ library used by lots of synth software and VSTS plugins. While JUCE itself is open-source, there's not a lot of high-quality sample projects (that I'm aware of). Helm looks awesome, and it's exciting to see a great example using JUCE.

>"“We don’t use purchase data from banks or credit card companies for ads,” said spokeswoman Elisabeth Diana."

This sounds to be like typical FB weasel-wording. "We don't" as in "we don't currently"? Which is not the same as "We won't." But even if this statement lacked ambiguity does anybody believe anything FB says at this point?

We already know that FB purchases "offline" third-party data from data brokers[1], so why else would an advertising company buy even more data from if not to make more money from advertising?

It's not a question of being harmless but sustainable. Everything you do will harm or imbalance the environment somehow, the question is how much the environment can recover or if it can at all.

There are a ton of lines I could go to discuss your points, from "meat is not equal to beef" to "could one live healthily only on the things you listed?" (hint: no).

I see tons of articles with statements of journalists but no real evidence, if you want to discuss with references I suggest going to better sources. Actually, I suggest checking your references as well - this was written on [4]:

"[a major report into the environmental impact of meat eating claimed] eating some meat was good for the planet because some habitats benefited from grazing."

So yeah, even your references "disproving" what I'm saying are actually are actually agreeing with me to a certain extent.

Last, but not least, it's not about who eats what but about sustainable systems - either the system works as a cycle or it will eventually run off. You need to look at the bigger picture.

An interesting alternative is Moonlight[0], an open source implementation of nVidia's GameStream protocol. While it does require an nVidia graphics card, it severely cuts down on latency as all the video encoding is done in hardware on the host PC. Essentially it gets you P2P low-latency video streaming with controller/keyboard+mouse input

I like how joering calls me the troll!

I do not have proof in the mathematical sense that Michelle Obama is a woman. I merely have an overwhelming preponderance of the evidence that she is a woman and absolutely no evidence to the contrary. Indeed, interestingly enough you wrote:

...you can genuinely say SHE is a female?

Emphasis mine. I do not need definitive proof. Collect all the statements you believe to be true. Now collect all of the statements you can actually, definitively prove true. The intersection of these two sets is quite small. This is true for everyone.

You have to give a better example if that's was your best shot to make Jones looks like a loon.

You believe that Alex Jones thinking Michelle Obama is a man is not sufficient evidence that he is a loon and you have the temerity to claim that my approach to reasoning and facts is precisely what's wrong with the country.

Thank you for your post. It was instructive, illuminating, and hilarious all at the same time. That is a rare feat.

I agree that the fact "legs attached to midsection" is irrelevant to most, but the implications that follow rely on principles of mechanics and biology for which I would still hope most people would have at least a basic intuitive understanding. This is an extreme example to illustrate the point: I don't know exactly how preindustrial people around the world built their homes, but whenever they used large leaves, I would expect them to orient them in the direction that best sheds water. We can make good guesses at specific facts based on principles. I would expect most people to get the ant legs correct. One might say that this bicycle sketch test proves otherwise, but there are far more unique components in the bike sketch.

I left it off, because i don't think the higher assessed risk of default than prime loans is relevant for explaining that the true cause is the fraud and purposeful misstating of actual risk.

So the already-risky loans were made more risky due to fraud and deceit on the part of loan writers. Fair enough, I have no argument with that as a major contributor, if not root cause.
> because the mainstream news websites like CNN and even sections of the NYT became more Jones-like in their reporting

If it's evident to you but not evident to me, then it's self-evidently not self-evident.

The internet is not politically neutral. Carrying data without respect for contents, origin, or destination is a very political ideal. It's also an ideal that the internet has never met. Origin and destination have to have money to pay to connect, for example. And ISPs from the earliest days had acceptable use policies, so it was never "anything goes"; determining what was acceptable was very much a political process.

I note that the Bitcoin community, who are even stronger on the "without respect for contents, origin, or destination" philosophy, are even more obviously political. In pretty much any Bitcoin discussion here you can find people who espouse extreme anarchocapitalist values. Many are quite clear that any state interference in their business is anathema. Again, highly political.

What you're espousing is the sort of faux neutrality that the article is about.
