AFAIK Ubisoft was already planning to stream AC: Origins to the Nintendo Switch in Japan (it's not coming to the Switch outside of Japan, I think). I wonder if they'll sell it on cartridge; that'll have to be one of the first games where the publisher can turn off the server and you now have a cartridge that doesn't do anything.
Congratulations! This is awesome!

It's absolutely a market but it's a small one. However these niche markets can have great players/customers. Another recent example of this is the game Cogmind.
Card fuckup is the only reason I have even a little cash on hand. Even the second hand store near me takes cards now. It is my policy if I am any distance from home to carry a spare car key, and enough cash to fill the tank and get home.

Considering that we could eliminate fraud with a private key chip card, this is really, really sad.

What are you reading exactly? Here's what I posted, it's short:

> Oh yea? Stop stealing 30% of my income if you really want to be helpful.

That means a ~30% levy on middle class income is pretty outrageous if that is the class of people you are intending to help. And the income tax is hardly the only federal tax. The state income tax is relatively minor compared to federal, and roads are funded via gas taxes and tolls, i.e. use taxes, which is far more direct in figuring out where your money is going. Sure the feds will kick in grants to assist with roads et al, but if that were all they were spending their income tax haul on they would not need such a high percentage to begin with.

And to be clear, all taxes are confiscatory, by definition. If you don't pay you risk going to jail, and if you resist that it will be at gunpoint. Whether one thinks that confiscation is reasonable and beneficial overall is another issue. But it's not like you can just opt-out of taxes, or death.

* Ruby, Rails, Golang, React, React Native, AWS, GraphQL *

We build cellular-connected commercial irrigation solutions. Our smart controllers connect via a cellular aircard to provide a web- and app-based control/monitoring platform for irrigators and property managers (http://www.smartlinknetwork.com). This saves everyone involved time, money, and water. Through our "Save Water | Give Life" initiative, we dedicate a portion of our proceeds to clean water initiatives, building drinking water wells in developing countries (https://www.weathermatic.com/our-cause/).

Our office is in Garland, TX, but our software team works remotely most of the time, just meeting at the office for planning meetings, etc.

We run a core web application in Ruby on Rails, with the field-communication parts written in Go. The system can also be accessed via our React Native based mobile application. Deployed using Docker via AWS ECS, AWS Lambda, and other associated services.

We are a small team looking for someone who can contribute at all levels of the project, even including firmware and test fixture design if that's interesting to you! Lots of opportunity to make a difference and work with a variety of interesting technologies.

I worry you are mixing up alloca and malloc. Alloca allocates off the stack. All modern platforms have irritatingly small stack sizes, and if you overflow them your code just defaults with an annoyingly imprecise error. There is no overcommitting with stacks in practice.
I'm not sure that is really the point. It sounds like they are trying to understand why it is being reported. It is already well understood to be impossible. Perhaps they were unconscious? I don't know.

> I went into my contacts and changed the ringtone associated with them to be one that makes noise.

That gets the job done, but rather than modify each of your existing contacts (and each new one), consider just turning on Do No Disturb and setting your Do Not Disturb level to "Allow Calls From All Contacts" (or a particular Group or Favorites). These are iOS options but I assume there's an equivalent in Android.
If you look at companies after the MBAs join and gain footing, what do they look like?

What did Apple look like when Jobs left? What happened to Oracle when all the engineers left? What happened to Star Wars when it was bought by Disney?

MBAs find the good value in a company and chop it up and charge you more.

Anyone who is going to critisize this, I would just say; don’t miss the forest for the trees! You’re going to say all this stuff about how MBAs write board reports and do financials, blah blah blah. Yes, I know they do this. The end result of these things is what I described above.
The article, your comment and the argument they make, that this effect -- if it exists -- should be highly visible across all strata of society, are taking a ton of assumptions for granted. There are a number of plausible scenarios in which this argument falls apart completely:

a) The act of ruling over criminal proceedings places one in a very unique position of power over complete strangers' lives which only judges routinely experience. What subtle effects on empathy, vindictiveness, leniency do minor fluctuations in mood have that are exacerbated by the unique conditions of this profession?

b) Judges are members of an extremely privileged professional class and universally come from extremely privileged backgrounds. The mechanism of the hedonic treadmill might explain how working class folks cope with regular day-to-day stresses with almost no impact to their mood where being peckish at midday is likely the harshest reality of life that a financially secure judge making $100 an hour has to deal with and may disproportionately sour their temper to a comparable degree that someone making minimum wage worries about paying their rent.

Etc etc. There is no compelling proof of this argument.

There is an interesting blind spot in the article. When the author has two paragraphs shown, one greedy and one Knuth-Plass and declares the second to be "more rectangular" it only looks so because of the colons added to the second to show the ideal length. The differences in the line lengths are actually identical. Measuring from the longest line the greedy is [0,2,3,1,many] where the Knuth-Plass is [2,0,3,1,many].

The author's assertion is true, the example data just doesn't show it although it looks like it does because of the extra marking.

Not to mention that depression often makes people feel physically tired all the time. I don't think someone with normal neurochemistry even could sleep 16 hours a day if they wanted to.
On what? The increasingly short supply of fabs in the Bay Area? Apple bought Maxim's 6" line, Microchip closed Micrel's old 6" line. Intel pretty much shut down everything they had in the early 2000's (there are data centers now on the land previously used for the fabs) I am pretty sure that Zilog used to have an R&D Fab over on Bubb road (not sure what happened to it).

I started on the quest because I like to wander around the various auction liquidation shops in the Bay Area which often clean out a building and just sell all the gear they pull out for pennies on the dollar (the recent round of biotech closings lead to lots of refrigerators and incubators and microscopes and such). As I saw 4" and 6" wafer equipment go through these places I asked "What would it take to 'rescue' one of these facilities intact?" (basically a clean room with a full set of machines inside). And made inquiries.

Occasionally I would know someone on the inside who can route my query to the right person but if not one typically ends up at either the corporate development group or the corporate assets group. The sad reality is that the land/space is more valuable than a working, low volume, semiconductor line for 'older' processes.

As a result you have to pay the land use cost rather than the disposal cost and it really isn't an economical sort of thing at all (you'll never be able to make back the money you invest even if you sell the chips). And what that means is that even when you have friends that think it would be 'neat' and could fund such an effort, the math just doesn't pencil out.

If you run at the problem the other way and offer to buy all of the gear, and basically reconstruct the line in a new location, then you have to build a clean room, get a bazillion permits for the chemical storage, build a LNOX plant, and pay to upgrade power to support what the fab needs. Again, the math doesn't pencil out.

What that experience taught me was that in the Bay Area at least, you're not going to be able to purchase/save a fab that the owner no longer wants for any sort of a reasonable price. This is especially true if all you intend to do with it are low volume and open source chips in it.

> Roads are mostly state

The Highway Trust Fund is still a thing, and (IIUC) pays for the federal highways. The states pay for the state highways. There are probably more state highways, but the most important ones (and the most used ones) are federal.

> airways are mostly private

The planes are mostly private. Airports aren't. Neither is the air traffic control system.

In this particular example, the "treatment" is implementation of ergonomic practices, and the "response" is worker productivity.

If we divide a workplace into two segments, there almost certainly will be some difference in worker productivity between the segments, having nothing to do with implementation of ergonomic practices and just having to do with the inherit variance of individual productivity contributing to the group.

If the difference is productivity is large enough, you start thinking the ergonomic practices might have something to do with it. Statistics makes these principles more precise through concepts like statistical power, significance, and confidence intervals. Proper analysis of such an experiment would allow a company to compare the cost of the ergonomic processes with the benefit of the increased productivity attributable to those processes. This in turn would indeed allow them to make more money!

>I'm sorry but this joke is getting really old. HN loves to point fingers when company stands still.

Joke? There's no need for the false dichotomy.

Google in particular has the organizational attention span of a goldfish on meth, and many of us have been burned one, two, or three times by their recurrent habits of setting something awesome up and then killing it off a short time later with no sane alternatives in place.

This reputation is entirely earned[1]. The safe thing to do if you don't want to sign up for a sudden migration headache in the future is assume that any new Google product is another symptom of their "throw everything at the wall and see what sticks" mentality, and that it won't last for more than a year or two.

Not an option in our use case. Off-prem introduces too many compliance concerns. We're talking near-HIPPA isolation.

"In a US nationally representative cohort, we found that 0.8% of pregnancies were reported by virgins and not related to use of assisted reproductive technology, and these women were more likely than other virgins to have signed chastity pledges, to endorse knowledge of birth control, and to have parents who endorsed items indicative of lower levels of communication about sex and birth control."

I don't think that's it. I think it's people who are utterly devoted to a fault in regards to their personal beliefs, or in the dark about what constitutes sex and what risk factors exist for activities that can lead to impregnation.
Like others, it took me a while to understand what this actually does. Even coming from a Clojure+Datomic background.

As best I can tell, this is like phpMyAdmin for Datomic. But the cool and unique thing about Hyperfiddle is that in addition to writing queries and seeing the results, you can customize the result display using markdown or even arbitrary clojurescript code. Then you can generate forms to input new data (based on the schema of the database), connect it to more clojurescript, and before you know it you've built a web app. Because the whole thing is web based, you can send a link to your "fiddle" (web app) to other people, and they can use it without knowing anything about programming. This is all without git, editing text files, or even thinking about deployment or hosting. I think that's all pretty cool.

In most situations, this would be dangerously powerful, especially running on a production database. But Datomic has unique facilities for speculating "what if I transacted this" (which is how the hyperfiddle staging area works). Datomic also has powerful undo and time-travel options, which makes it much less terrifying to hyperfiddle it.

It's also cool that hyperfiddle queries/views/code are all stored in Datomic, so you get a sort of version control type layer built-in.

I think this is a cool vision for making it much quicker to develop lightweight database-backed web apps. Obviously the current state of hyperfiddle needs a lot of work on the UI and home page to explain this all.
Would you rather be able to choose between the original and bad ending, or do you prefer the current system that forces the bad one as the only option?
Because it is a test. One would imagine they want to limit the scope initially and expand out as time (and gravitation towards being a full fledged product) allows.

This doesn't seem particularly shocking. Shadow just recently (I believe) opened an east coast data center which now allows for their streaming service to work on the east coast, so perhaps Google is only allotting their US data centers to support this (one would assume initially and that if it is a hit/worth continuing, it'd expand out). Chrome is their browser so either: a) they're wanting to keep support requests limited to things within their control (or at least, reduction of variables is important in the phase they're going). b) they're wanting to be a full fledged gaming platform so they're not interested in supporting others.
