I've been playing their game The Walking Dead Season 1 and yes, it's mostly the illusion of choice, not real choice. But it's also surprisingly convincing during your first play (characters remember choices you made; they are either friendly or hostile depending on how you treated them; some show up later and some don't; etc). It's only after you replay the game that you see underneath and realize it's all mostly cosmetic, and that you cannot make really meaningful choices.

That's fair, but my genuine concern is we stop at the voting holiday. As people who have more income are more able to vote, the views of those who aren't able to vote become suppressed that much more.

Most reviews acknowledge that despite it not being a huge technological advancement it’s still the best standalone AR headset. Second, devs love it. Check out the activity on social media or hands on reviews from actual devs using it. They’re very positive about it.

Here’s a recent write up from a well known Hololens dev: https://brekel.com/my-thoughts-on-developing-with-magic-leap...
I don't think Theranos is a good comparison... but I don't think it's fair to characterise AR as a toy either, some people probbaly said the same about early incarnations of the technology that drove high resolution colour displays, lots of technology looks like shiny toys to begin with, but that's only because you cannot forsee it's applicaiton... AR is definately general enough to have very useful applications.

Robert Sedgewick's Algorithms in C++ 3rd Edition.

This is the book that introduced me to the wonderful world of algorithms, and I love it. The introduction chapter was a revelation and nothing like I had read before. I didn't understand everything in the first read but it made me to want to. The book is more accessible and practical than Knuth and CLRS, and more thorough than Skiena and such. Everything about this book is beautiful, not the least of which is the visualization of sort algorithms. There is also abundant tree related topics, which is quite refreshing and useful, in hindsight, because trees, other than balanced binary ones, are generally ignored in most books where graph steals the limelight.

There are two volumes that make this book, first having Parts 1 to 4, dealing with fundamentals, DS, sort and search, and the second, Part 5, dealing exclusively with graphs. I have only the first one and the opinion is based on that. There is a newer Java version, which includes the graph topics, and is about 250 pages longer than the first volume. However, based on the preview, it seems almost first 120 pages are dedicated to the Java language and OOP, unlike the C++ version which starts directly with the subject, so not sure how much of the contents are removed to make room, and how the quality differs.
Hi! Very interesting read and congratulations on the success. How you every had a higher price tag, or have you thought about raising it? It feels like a very low price, but I don't know what the average your customers are ending up paying - I guess they most often have several users per account?
USA Network used to have some pretty good stuff. Some of it turned very repetitive (Burn Notice, Suits, ...) because they don't know when to end series, but they did produce some really high quality series, especially if you're willing to look past the repetitiveness.

I don't know where their quality is at, nowadays. HBO is just leagues ahead of everything else.

I don't know how others feel, but if I kept control of the device I would feel much more comfortable with this process. The fact that they can make me unlock the device then take it out of my sight and do unknown things to it means I can no longer trust the device or any of its files (eg private keys, access tokens, etc that may be stored on it).

If they sit down with me and allow me to maintain control of the device while they ask to see recent chats and emails etc I would feel much more comfortable (though don't get me wrong, I still see the whole process as a huge overstep and invasion of privacy).

Let's start that you've been visiting a website called "Hacker News". Explain that to the customs goons when they ask you what is it.
> If big companies are so inefficent, why then are they able to generate so much profit from the economy?

On the one hand, no one has yet figured out how eliminate inefficiences out of large organizations. They're all like that, usually the bigger the more inefficient (the government, because of its size, being obviously the worst offender).

However, it seems that it just takes dozens (if not hundreds) of thousands of employees to run say a top tier car or microprocessor company. You just can't do it with less, so the inefficiencies are the cost of producing such advanced stuff as say BMWs or Intel processors.
Tangled and WAHH are very different books. They're not substitutes for each other. Tangled is closer to Browser Hackers.
This is a really really good book on Operating Systems. Before this I had read (http://codex.cs.yale.edu/avi/os-book/OS9/slide-dir/index.htm...), which is itself a really good book, but this one seemed more funnier and less dry, and I think reading two OS books gives you a little different perspective from each.

As an Icelandic man that loves his ancestry and the viking themes and styles accompanying that I just have this to say:

Right wing kheads, stop using our legacy and legends as a vehicle for your ked up beliefs! Vikings and norse people were not pure, they assimilated whatever culture they came into contact with, including blood, as they spread across europe. Seriously, go make up your own weird ass religion to cling your racist beliefs to. It worked for scientology!

I hate the fact that I have to think twice about getting a line from a viking script tattooed on my arm because it might be thought of as right wing.
That stats aren't more out of whack then the stats of psychology or education. STEM and education have very similar gender ratios, and it gets less gendered if you just focus on the T in STEM.

There are plenty of female-dominated fields with similar gender ratios as what you see in STEM. Do you think sexism is a good explanation for those female dominated fields?
Does even Apple use macOS server for their own servers?
The problem is that a full backup on Android requires root, which breaks a lot of security guarantees and isn't even always possible. As far as I'm aware, there is no possible way for me to backup my non-rooted phone, wipe it and restore is as if nothing happened.
Interesting. Around here (Vancouver BC) I would call the casserole the type of food inside the pot. "I'm cooking a casserole tonight."

There are a number of types of 'casserole dishes' which are usually more-or-less rectangular dishes with a lid meant for oven use (usually glass or ceramic, sometimes enamel). The Dutch Oven is a round type of a casserole dish.
We aren't from Ukraine, so I don't know. We are from Belarus.

I'm not an expert here. To get the right picture, I would recommend searching for some kind of UpWork report. Like this - https://www.upwork.com/press/2018/05/01/q1-2018-skills-index...

But if you consider remote employees, you want have problems with any framework.
