I'm only halfway joking when I say I've lost many an elbow into the side of someone substantially larger than I. For some "a seat" is "their seat + several inches of mine".

I know it's not really the problem at hand, but it's poor proxy for volume, and again, just shows that the weight fee is just a sham.

Because Starcraft is 1v1 and LoL is 5v5. Poker AIs also focus on 1v1 as opposed to full ring games. It's easier.

Also because Starcraft has three races, i. e. 9 matchups. But if you pick one race for your AI, you only have three matchups to worry about. LoL on the other hand has about 500 champions (give or take), whose strengths and weaknesses are vastly dependent on the current patch. LoL is less about skill or strategy, and more about picking the champion of the week.

Starcraft works because they have such a small number of matchups that balancing them is possible. Certainly not easy, and players keep figuring out ways to evolve the meta game. Maybe an AI could even find interesting new strategies. But LoL has so many matchups that their balancing team has an absolutely impossible task of trying to catch up. It's so complex that they can't just think about in theory, but they have to look at win-rate statistics, over different skill ranges. At this point it's more a problem of data science. And the number of champions keeps growing, because that's how they make money.

I'm not the one who said the market is "extremely competitive". For sure is a market with high barriers to entry, very expensive to be in and profit margins are not that high either.

So if you are Ryanair you aim at doing more destinations and paid "extras", if you are Alitalia you aim at doing fewer destinations on a much bigger price mark.
I've been driving around Africa for over 2 years now. 25 countries in West and Southern Africa.

There is a lot more development, infrastructure, happiness and success here than the majority of "First Worlders" have any notion of. Even when I tell my family directly they don't really believe me.

4G Internet, chip n pin (or contactless) Credit card payments, multi lane freeways, high rise buildings and of course electricity and drinking water. That's not just South Africa either, all of those exist in Rep. Congo, Nigeria, Cameroon, Mali, Zambia just to name a few examples of where people think of "poverty".

I have come to the conclusion that anyone who hasn't actually set food on this continent (and ventured outside a guided "safari") has no way to discover the truth about this place. There is no media outlet that actual portrays an accurate picture, I have never even seen one that gets close.

Agree. My point is that less control for manufacturers over the image presumably will lead to lesser profits. My illustrations might be more or less relevant, depending on the standpoint.
imho the thing you're missing is that "consensus" is more than just "which txn followed which in time". For example : in Bitcoin a txn is not valid unless the sending address has sufficient funds. So nodes are checking not only the things you're thinking about, but also "is there enough money for this?". Git does not do this. It would be as if Git not only took whatever commit you sent it, but also checked that your commit compiled and passed tests, before it accepted it.

>I am countering your argument that this law is useful because it prevents arguments in schools. This is both incorrect and lazy.

Right, because there aren't any precedents with, say, banning smoking in schools. If you leave it entirely at the school level then a small number of motivated parents can harass the schools to get what they want. They did it with smoking[1] ("we don't want our children to leave the school grounds to smoke") and they did it with phones ("we want to be able to reach our children at any time"). Being able to stay "that's the law and that's it" is definitely a good way to avoid having this debate every year in September.

Despite the humor in my previous message, I have actually liked most UI changes in Firefox since the beginning, except for a few things that can be reverted in seconds or that I don't really care so much about. The biggest thing being the removal of the search bar in the default configuration. I didn't really like the rounded tabs and now they are gone.
Ask HN: Any decent book/video/curated list for understanding VPN and alternatvs?
TL:DR:
Need recommendations for a decent VPN book(s) or video(s) or curated list of links to learn about VPN ecosystem and VPN alternatives and a comparison and contrast of strengths and limitations of VPN products and alternatives and how they might complement each other for absolute privacy , anonymity , security and plausible deniability.

Is there a decent book or books or video tutorials that explain the myriad choices of VPN and VPN alternatives and touch on the role of different privacy and anonymity products in its vast ecosystem , and , in particular , touch on these topics:

How to combine open source VPN and commercial VPN to maximize absolute privacy , anonymity , security and plausible deniability?

How to anonymize traffic using a mix of proxy servers, several different VPN services and Tor?

VPN Client vs VPN Server

Why not to "use your VPN providers client" , as mentioned here www.reddit.com/r/privacytoolsIO/comments/8wdez3/what_vpn_clients_do_you_recommend/

I know it's a combination of 'taxi' and '-ify', but it reads too much like 'tax' and '-ify'. Taxes generally have a negative or necessary evil connotation which doesn't seem like a great company name. It's a good thing the scooters are not slated to go to the US, where 'taxes' are a four-letter word, or they might end up in the Boston harbor.
I think this is a good question. Perhaps the author means older than the current position of the continents? The Appalachian mountains, though not as old as the Makhonjwa, would also fall into that category.
> Malaga to Berlin

This strongly suggests they had checked in luggage and simply didn't want to pay even more just to bring some in the cabin. A flight is not like a taxi ride, you're all but guaranteed you need luggage. So I think the cause-effect relationship works the other way. People don't bring hand luggage because they plan based on the cheap fare only to discover it doesn't include that.

The only reason prices are advertised as such is that they can initially stand out as being cheap. Many people will just go for it because it's hard to make an apples to apples comparison with an airline that gives you everything in a single package. Services that are now in a race to the bottom (airlines, mobile operators, etc.) are using these strategies more and more to differentiate themselves. But it's all done through misleading advertisement.
With such a big project, being quick to hand out wontfix isn't necessarily a bad thing. To be honest, seeing as this project is used by a huge part of the… rather diverse JS crowd, 15% wontfix is astoundingly low.

The bit on the left, I assume, is the modern terminal. Notice the scale. The old building is small, for modern use. If it gets preserved, they must find a way to generate some additional income, because it's probably too obsolete to do that as an actual airport.
The TeX language itself, and the logs and error messages of TeX are so bad, that I would hardly believe it.
You're right, the big companies are the biggest offenders against this intended use of the web. And that's bad.

And they aren't accessing others intellectual property with this. They are building custom tools to display other's intellectual property. Very different.
Yes, so "good job" to Apple because they're freely sharing all their IPR online too?
I've been working with LLVM for a few years and I still find the code difficult to navigate and badly documented. And every single function's argument list is a random jumble of pointers and references (almost all arguments should be references, but many aren't).
In my understanding you can definitely point to some tx and say that has something to do with the other party. But if there is a "contract" between two companies, like company A should give this in these circumstances to company B. If there is then a dispute about these circumstances, it matters whether the contract was on paper with actual signatures (a document designed to be able to be enforced by law) or a "smart contract" on a blockchain system somewhere. In case of the latter you cannot say "I want my money because the contract says so" if the contract only exists as a smart contract on a blockchain. If it's on paper the decision might be based on the actual wording (in English or another language) - this is all very hard when you're dealing with a programming language (or set of instructions).

But as I said, IANAL.
>I am not sure what to tell you. The situation pre-dates the secure boot.

That's an invalid argument. It doesn't matter how long this has been the case.

>As a person authorizing a product that can potentially emit unhealthy or unsafe levels of RF, or a parent of teenagers using social media, or a developer of medical applications intended for mobile phone...

You're presuming this is the only and the correct way of handling this. That is, you're arguing it is the manufacturer's affair and right to restrict one's basic rights to enforce lawful handling of their product.

I'd rather argue that in reality the manufacturer's main interests lie in reducing support costs and the enforcement of their patents and copyrights.

While I agree in general I disagree here. If you read about the Sqlite tests you will find that they do test sensibly.

One suite I'm particularly impressed with will run tests from zero bytes with slowly increasing available memory until the program passes. The tests verify that at no point the DB is corrupted by an OOM event.
I personally know of cases where the defense explicitly got an all minority jury with the express belief they would acquit.

But that story won't ever make the news. Things that make the news are the shocking exception, not the mundane reality.
Certainly. I try not to take too high of a moral high ground for many similar reasons. US’s constant wars/conflict, our ridiculous murder/violence/crime rates, the fact that China likely needed a very strong handed government to unify China and push it forward.

I’m just mainly sour about having crappy and extremely restricted internet, and wish more Chinese cared and could do anything about it. :)
This is essentially the origin story of memcached, except it was originally written in Perl. It was rewritten in C when scaling problems were seen.

> what is wrong with what I designed

You've not described an authentication mechanism, so it has to be kept firewalled - a lot of people have made the same mistake with memcached.

The scalability of your system depends entirely on the standard collection class, which will be OK but not optimal. As you say, when you're not at the scaling limit this isn't so important.

I don't quite understand what you mean by TCP/IP queue; it sounds like you might be exposed to the risk of one client blocking?
Not only that, 600K more trips on the roads would utterly choke traffic. It would be impossible, I think, to accommodate many more cars let alone the increased maintenance required to sustain it.

Professionally, I've all but given up. Any more, I just try to mimic the code style of whatever goo I'm working on. And do whatever kabuki required of me to get my PRs merged.

Programming is now my hobby. Whenever I feel the need to code with intent and feeling, I work on a personal project. (For some reason, this reminds me of Al Pacino quote about exercising. Something like "I just lie down until the feeling goes away." Happily, I'm not that bleak.)

I might agree on the sentiment but East Germany was not part of the USSR, technically.

Nothing more to say. There is no production ready private blockchain to show.

In Dan Abramov's excellent egghead redux course [0] he implements the `createStore` from scratch which is the core of redux, it's simple enough to post here:

const createStore = (reducer) => {
let state;
let listeners = [];

const getState = () => state;

const dispatch = (action) => {
state = reducer(state, action);
listeners.map(listener => listener());
};

const subscribe = (listener) => {
listeners.push(listener);
// unsubscribe
return () => {
listeners = listeners.filter(l => l !== listener)
};
};

// populate initial state
dispatch({});

return { getState, dispatch, subscribe };
};

There is much hype. However, as someone who was at least as skeptical (and cynical) as you a few months ago, but (somewhat accidentally) has ended up working this this space, and for cognitive dissonance-reduction reasons, has had to figure out what's real and what's hype (or just plain lies), I have to say that I don't think it is all as bogus as you perceive.

>A "private blockchain with proof of authority" is like cutting the hump of a camel and calling it a horse. Just use Git.

This sounds clever, but it isn't right: Git has no equivalent to consensus for transaction correctness, for example. It has no equivalent to smart contracts. It has no peer discovery mechanism. It has no automatic transaction propagation mechanism. And on...
