Credit score tracking is privately managed and incredibly inaccurate, it can lead to people being unable to qualify for mortgages when their financial situation is quite solid. Additionally credit score calculations are all proprietary and may have begun taking your social life into account (there are mixed reports) but given that health insurers are already upping the pressure to gather more of your personal data I doubt they're far behind, the difference is that health insurance is a much more highly regulated field so we have proof they're doing it, credit score trackers do all that stuff behind closed doors..
I don’t see how that has any relevance to the situation where this man was shot. Police were arrayed out in front of the house and he came out the front door with his hands up. Somehow he was going to disarm every cop on the lawn?

Back in reality the police shot a man who already surrendered and was unarmed. This would be a war crime on a battlefield, but the police are held to a lower standard.
If you’re a casual player, I get it. To contrast, Destiny 2 originally launched with casual players in mind, resulting in casual players becoming less of a vocal audience after the first month or two (like you’d expect for most games) while the more hardcore players never stopped shouting their dissatisfaction.

At the end of the day, the hardcore side are the ones who usually determine if a follow up will be successful or not; balancing both audiences is likely an exercise in frustration and futility.

You're right, I was hasty and copied the % of the federal budget instead of % GDP.

A comic shockingly ahead of its time. While there were an increasing number of games that were borderline unplayable without their Day 1 patch, I think that comic was just extrapolating the trend. It wasn't until the mid-2000s that game boxes came with nothing more than a CD key in them.

Back around when that comic was written, Computer Gaming World had a policy of only reviewing the unpatched versions of games. That became increasingly untenable and they eventually had to scrap the policy.

The parent probably figured it was Half-Life 2 because the HL2 launch was a disaster. It was one of the first games requiring online activation and the servers were completely overloaded.
Really impressive results, though I wish they had gone more into the deep learning part of it (but I guess that's probably the secret sauce).

Can't help but notice how well Nvidia is positioned for what appears to be a growing wave of demand for GPUs. Surprised this hasn't reflected in their share price (feels like they could be the next Intel, but what do it know).
Without pushing the cost astronomically high with f/1,4 lenses, it seems as if Night Sight somehow algorithmically allows the standard f/1,8 camera to shoot two-thirds up and allow for these low-light, long-exposure shots.

It’s honestly an amazing challenge they accepted and quite possible they accomplished their goal.
The pirates seems to have mastered the art of compressing assets to create distribution packages of manageable size. Maybe legit publishers needs to learn a few lessons from them.
From what I read, the police seemed to have jumped to killing him far too quickly, and it's frankly a sickening embarrassment to civilization. I have nothing but respect for public servants who risk their lives, but their job is unfortunately to do just that: Risk their lives for the safety and freedom of the public. Not to unload deadly fire into anybody who's hand moves toward their pants. I understand if some people think there is simply no way to reasonably make a distinction in these "he's reaching for something" scenarios, but I respectfully disagree.
In a historical context, the minority groups are mostly people lived in different areas. Typically Han was in the central/east region in China, and there were other groups in north/west and sometimes south. There had been lots of wars in the past, and lots of peace as well. The fairly recent Qin dynasty was actually founded by a minority group in the northeast, and they ruled Han along with all other minority groups for hundreds of years. Most minority groups are heavily influenced by culture of Han, whether they controlled large part of China or not. For example, after Qin dynasty controlled the entire China, the emperors inherited plenty of traditions from Han; they started speaking Chinese and learning from classical Han literature; and they influenced Han culture as well. There are exceptions like Genghis Khan -> They occupied China but didn't care about local culture at all, and soon they left.

All the dynasties founded in the region, no matter if it was mostly Han people or minority groups, are considered part of China's history now. Just that Han had much higher weight in history books.

In a modern context, the main theme from textbooks is that all the minority groups live peacefully together and united as one nation, no matter what the history is. This is mostly true in reality, except maybe a small number of people in the west might want separation. You can find people from all minority groups living in large cities in the east of China, where the economy is most advanced. They mostly appear not much different from Han people, even though they might still carry some traditions from their own culture. Sometimes Han people might get curious when they meet someone from a minority group, but mostly they won't treat them any differently.

Being a part minority group is generally a good thing in China -> Among other things, they get bonus points in college entrance exams, which is a very big deal for vast majority of Chinese.

I don't think that is a fair comparison. In most situations there is no reason to presume danger when you pull over a car. If you are responding to a hostage call, well then you very well should assume it is a dangerous situation.

> How many hostage calls are real, vs. fake?

How do you propose verifying if a situation is real vs fake short of entering the premise prepared for a real situation?
You fight it by taking the personal hit and run for office yourself. From my experience, the only thing you can really control is yourself. The problem is running for office is a pain and most people don't want their personal lives going public.

I don't know. It is one of the recurring questions in software development (or politics...) what should be centralised and what should be distributed. Job control might be one thing that we need a good default for anyway, so why not implement it in a central place?

Lemon lists 11 games for the Amiga that had more than 10 floppy disks. I owned 4 of them (Indy 4, Monkey Island 2, Flight of the Amazon Queen, and Beneath a Steel Sky).

Luckily I had a hard disk. I don't even remember that BaSS had 15 disks! That must have taken a whole evening to install that thing. But it took only 12 MB on the hard disk although that was 10% of the whole disk capacity. Times sure have changed.

>I meant to suggest that humans will never agree on the same structure of premises and argumentation, and that we simply cannot get past that, to a space above or beyond historical language, to an uncontested consensus.

So what? People don't have to agree on the truth. It just has to be true.

>But if not, on what grounds can we possibly say that one particular conception of morality is True or Rational?

Well partly that depends on how you define "morality", but first and foremost, we can do it by the same means we use to determine that a particular conception of "cream cheese" or "routing algorithms" is True and Rational.

The irony of being this transparent with CIOs about DB migration details is it instantly triggers an opportunity cost discussion.

"This looks like it'll cost $3M-$5M to migrate away from Oracle. But Oracle only increased our licensing costs $500K per year and I already have a team of 5 Oracle DBAs!"

Okay... but those costs compound each year.

Don't get me wrong... I'm all in the "migrate to cloud" camp. But DB migration is one of the most difficult and political conversations to have these days.
Celiac disease isn't funny. Some people are sensitive enough that even the type of contact you describe transfers enough gluten (from the bread to the plate to the actual food consumed) to set off a reaction. I have several friends with celiac, and one of them was recently hospitalized after a restaurant server decided to "test" their claim about having celiac. That server has since been fired by the restaurant and facing assault charges; her (now former) employer is looking at a pretty heft lawsuit.

Please let us know what those restaurants are so we can avoid them, and any future restaurants you own.

I agree that this particular example may not seem useful (since there are other, centralized ways to trade AAPL derivatives), but the useful thing here is that it's all within the same ecosystem. I've traded for years using brokerages, clearing houses, and banks, and this removes all of that overhead. The pegs are maintained by arbitrage and this allows the removal of almost all of the overhead associated with futures markets. But that's really just the tip of the iceberg. I'm not here to convince anyone; you should convince yourselves that it's either useful or not. There's certainly a lot of real development going on if you know where to look, and the hype is warranted if you can see the whole picture.

Obviously there is a limit to what GitHub would be able to get away with before getting banned..

My point is that GitHub currently provide so much value to Chinese research and tech that banning it would be extremely costly for them. Would they ban CNN for writing a negative article that not a single Chinese citizen had seen? No doubt. Would they ban GitHub for hosting a repo sharing the truth about the Tiananmem Massacre, the concentration camps, etc? No, at least not until this repo gained a lot of traction in China, and the question then is how many people would they allow to see the content before finally pulling the trigger? I'm imagining a lot.. And I also suspect that they would respond by attacking GitHub/Microsoft and even open up for GitHub again when they felt the storm had been weathered. FYI, all of these assumptions are based on their past actions with regard to GitHub and other websites/companies.. if you read up on it then you would probably reach the same conclusion.

Using the point-in-time count as a divisor for the entire budget is so ridiculously asinine I'm shocked so many folks are engaging with it in good faith. "Let's figure out how to use that money" might begin with understanding how it's already spent. Here's a more in depth article correcting this fallacy: http://beyondchron.org/sfs-homeless-spending-myth/

“Since the 1980’s, the media has created an impression—now shared by the public and some supervisors—that you can simply divide homeless spending ($165 million) by the homeless numbers (7000) and then give that amount of money (over $20,000 per homeless person) to get them off the streets. But most of SF’s “homeless budget” is spent on people already housed. The city is not spending $165 million on 7000 reported homeless, but on thousands more living in supportive permanent housing.” - same author, from 2014

This is dangerously ignorant analysis and I'd hope you would take some time to research where that money is spent before sharing your opinion again.
In the US, police shoot dead about 1000 civilians every year, and 40 or so police officers are shot in the line of duty. Consider that there are 325 million people living in the US, and 1 million are police officers. It's completely out of control.

The claim of similarity to Duolingo seems to be based on the "Practice" tab, which let's you re-solve problems you've already solved once. Duolingo and similar apps use spaced repetition[1] to reinforce lessons which is proven to help retain them permanently in long term memory. However Edabit doesn't seem to implement a very complete system so it probably won't be particularly effective. I also doubt space repetition is helpful for learning to program outside of memorizing APIs and standard libraries, which is 10% of programming at most.

[1]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spaced_repetition

As for sites like Leetcode, those are far more mature (wide selection of languages, custom test cases, etc.) with much more interesting challenges. I appears Edabit is targeting beginners and therefore has much shorter, easier challenges which mainly test memory, not knowledge of algorithms or problem solving. Again, not necessarily the aspect of programming that I would encourage beginners to spend their time on compared to understanding basic concepts.
That's just simply not true. Stock markets / futures markets are not decentralized in any sense of the word. You still require a 3rd party if you're going to trade derivatives over the counter.
What do you mean by "in N"?

If you mean the natural numbers then they definitely aren't "in N" since the reals already have a larger cardinality than the naturals, and the reals are a subset of the surreals.
And once they get a conviction, the person they caught is, by definition, not an innocent. See how easy that was?

Police can only keep their personal sense of self-worth, justice and fairness by… arrogantly sticking to their guns and forcing a conviction onto whoever they initially fingered as being guilty.

No matter how much you want to blame the police for this, keep in mind that if you did this in a thousand neighborhoods with many different police officers and jurisdictions, many many many more people would die. In my eyes nearly 99% of the guilt is in the man that falsely called this in.

Given that Corretto is in production at Amazon today could this by default become the most popular (by production instances) JVM? Let's say Corretto becomes the default in BeanStalk, Lambda, and maybe some popular AMI's. Would that be enough?

Let's say sometime next year some performance benchmarks come out and Corretto is in fact faster than Oracle's JVM. Would people be quick to switch? Would enough people switch? I feel like the Java ecosystem has been at the verge of a "phase shift" for a long time. There's a lot of pent up demand for features and Oracle and the governance process just aren't delivering. So now Amazon steps in and, just think about it, what are the odds this JVM ends up faster, better, and gasp with some new features people want.

Well, since subsidized pricing depends on you giving real information, then you make things worse for everyone else.

If you can only enjoy something (like a lower price while giving fake information) because everyone else doesn't, then it's usually a hint that your position isn't so defendable.

Like how the only reason the guy on the bus can enjoy his music without headphones is because everyone is courteously using headphones. I mean, sure, he doesn't care. "I'll never see these people again, why would I care?" But it's weak justification for taking advantage of a situation and I think we can do better as a society.
