A Nuclear war/accident taking out most multi-cellular life would take more than a few million years to recover from. Then on those time scales sun's luminosity will start to shift, might not be time for intelligent life to evolve again.
You say it yourself it has become a tourist area, so my point stands. Anyway, last time I visited London (which was 10 years ago though) I was pleasantly surprised that there were still some 1960s brutalist blocks left in the downtown area which were housing “poorer” people (I think I remember seeing one close to Kensington). But I think many of them have been taken down in the meantime (or have burned to the ground because of official negligence).

The solution would be to create new downtown areas close to the places where the poorer people live, meaning areas with cinemas, theaters, libraries etc and leave the current downtown area for tourists, rich people and foreigners who want to launder their money.

No, I really enjoy working with .NET Core but this was a mistake. I even remember the presentation everyone was silent when they announced this "feature".

IMO this is a step backwards into asp.net era where everything was mixed and you had business logic in views.
You can filter between paid and free. And of course, there are paid sites - if they were not paid, they probably wouldn't exist.
Private label like OP is doing is the high risk high reward version. Wholesale is much less risk, but there tends to be lower margin. A lot of people recommend starting with wholesale or even retail arbitrage to get the hang of it.

Per Amazon figures, there are 20,000 sellers who sell over a million dollars a year. I know a lot of people in that range, but it does take capital to get there.

I did have a very specific niche in the industrial categories. It was a business that I used to work for a supplier for, so I was familiar with products and manufacturers and distributors.

For me, it wasn't so much identifying top selling products, but rather ones that I could compete on price. I did use a good many tools for all aspects of the business, but couldn't really share them now as I've basically shut all that out of memory.
As there’s more competition from studios entering the publishing space you should be able to get a better deal, with better and more current tech. The up side is Steam gives you visibility to a large player base with new publishers won’t have on day one, but it’s coming.
The person who picks a headline like this is generally trying to create the most attention with it without making a false statement.

Instead of "Can New Metal-Air Transistors Replace Semiconductors and Continue Moore's Law?", the headline writer would love to write "New Metal-Air Transistors Replace Semiconductors and Continue Moore's Law". That would be more effective. The fact that the headline writer could not say this tells us something.

The same goes for weasel words like "may".

> I find heuristics like this to be anti-intellectual.

There's a bit of a perfect storm in that 1980-2000 frame.

US soda consumption roughly doubled from 1975 to 2000. And of course as you mentioned, the US switched from sugar to high fructose. The US Government poured gasoline on the fire, with its industry collusion re sugar and its wildly screwed up food pyramids encouraging the over-consumption of carbs.

US sugar consumption also oddly skyrocketed from roughly 1980 to 2000. It went from ~80 pounds to ~110 pounds annually per capita in just under 20 years (after being relatively stable in a 20lb range the prior 60 years minus WW2).

The era of sugar cereal, sugar breakfast, large containers of soda everywhere, a large junk food boom, a big pizza & carb boom (rapid growth of pizza chains everywhere), continued explosion of low quality fast food chains. And last but not least, a huge increase in sedentary lifestyles.

Australia has the "Notifiable Data Breaches Scheme" under its Privacy Act, which requires breaches to be reported to the government[0].

It doesn't have an investigatory/corrective framework like the NTSB (in Australia, the ATSB), but it's the first step towards one.

Australian policy on technology and civil liberties has generally been very poor in the past 2 decades, but the Privacy Act and surrounding policies have been one of the few bright points.

We have telemetry data on performance, user retention, installed addons and how these things correlate.
The Stanford data set suffers from the same problems as the one in discussion: It opens up for correlating 'race' with foul behavior. Of course there may be such a correlation per se, just as there may be a correlation between heavy drinkers/medication abusers and excessive use of force. The problem with isolating the 'race' factor is that it promotes race hate, which is just stupid, when there are factors that are amendable ('race ' is not amendable). There is obviously a correlation between racism and inappropriate police work, but these kinds of data sets don't show that.

> I wonder how you propose that a database "analyze racism"?

I note that we are in agreement: you can't surmise racism from this kind of data, still that's what the presentation implies. To be able to establish the extent of racism one would have to conduct attitude research (psychological profiling) on the officers.

One reason salaries are high in Switzerland is the men are expected to support an entire family off one salary. If you really want to you can consider the "free" housing, food, heating, car etc as payment to the woman, although that seems unnecessarily materialistic.

As for impact on career, this is again a matter of perspective. If parenting is skilled work then arguably raising children is a second career. We don't normally classify parenting as a career but that's just a matter of terminology.
Definitely. There are cases where people have forgotten their first spoken language, after enough years away from it.

I'm not sure whether or not this belongs in the same category as riding a bicycle.
The first ionization energies of oxygen, nitrogen etc are all > 10 eV [1]. If you accelerate an electron over 35 nm with a 1 V electric field, it picks up 35e-9 eV. So it can't ionize anything, even if it happens to collide with a molecule, which is unlikely [2].

I suspect such an option would be so verbose as to be useless; I believe it is virtually impossible to write any substantial amount of C without encountering undefined-behavior. It still might have some value for writing programs if you're willing to put in the absurd amount of effort required to actually be safe, but now we're getting into the territory of OpenBSD or qmail; possible, but vanishingly rare.

As a percentage of worldwide revenue on a sliding scale.

Very true, so triple damages for wilful underreporting and/or criminal sanctions for individuals.
Dredging telemetry data has a nasty effect of letting you find precisely what you are looking for. There is no way to prove from passive monitoring of telemetry that rouge addons were causing people to abandon Firefox, nor that this measure stops people from abandoning Firefox (Or even stops rouge addons, after all its trivial to recompile firefox and replace a binary, if this becomes a problem is firefox going closed source next, for the users of course). But if you can show two numbers that seem to have a correlation (Like Pirates and Global Warming), you can advance any agenda you care to.

Not to mention this "telemetry" process is entirely opaque, and used to justify decisions like this in a very Ex Cathedra sorta way, where you either accept the conclusions they have made from data you can't see, or be treated like your opinion is irrelevant.

Its a very hostile way to run a supposedly "Open Source" project.
If you look at homes in America the solar panels are these big heavy lumbersome things. They're unsightly to look at and devalues the leafy suburb view.

For now I will avoid solar power.

The air doesn't matter. The article says that the 35nm gap between electrodes is less than the mean-free path of electrons in air. In other words, from the electron's perspective, it's the same as a vacuum since it doesn't (usually) encounter any air molecules when passing between the electrodes.
Has an effort to add a full GUI to OpenSCAD ever been considered? Would be absolutely amazing to be able to design the way you're describing, and then throw it into a git repo.
IIRC, the code is actually `if O>2` or so; 3 and up are literally identical.

EDIT: Per https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/GCC_optimization#What_about_-O_... it's `enabled = (level >= 3);`
In C you avoid signed integer overflow either by knowing that the result will be in range before applying an operation, or, as a last resort, by testing that the operation is defined before carrying it out. For example, if a and b are ints, then a + b is defined if (a >= 0 && b <= INT_MAX - a) || (a < 0 && b >= INT_MIN - a).

Additionally, some compilers can insert code to detect signed integer overflow at runtime. Clang has the -fsanitize=undefined flag [1].

Last time I cycled frequently I was in high school, 15 years ago. After that, I’ve almost exclusively just walked or used public transport. Recently I acquired a used bike and it took literally zero practice or adjustment to get going again. My technique may not be at the level of a serious road cyclist but then again it never was.
I've read stormfront threads, too. Additionally, it just seems incoherent to me to pay for things that I read; I pay for things that I want other people to read.
Not any more. There were changes.
Yeah. That's the point. I won't go into the subject of discussing if that is legal or not, but for sure it's not ethical.

Like I said, you need to factor out those unsuccessful developers that don't make any money. This is self-reported data is of questionable merit, but if you switch to US, game developers aren't at the bottom anymore and none of the salaries listed are bad in any way.

Again, if you do what you love, you should be able to stomach a pay hit. If you don't love it after all, don't wait for the industry to change, change industries yourself.

> Itch.io yields about 1% of the revenue of Steam.

That doesn't generalize across different titles. Maybe some title has zero visibility on Steam, but some visibility on itch.io. Then you're better off with itch.io.

Either way, it's just a guess.

> No, only once a game reaches $10 million of total sales revenue.

I misread that, my bad.
I’m starting tomorrow new post as a game producer. I was in a web development before and was making quite decent salary without any stress. Now my salary is 1k less in a month and I know that I will face more stress and pressure. Still I didn’t hesitate to make a switch. Making great games has been my dream for a long and I knew that if I’d skip this opportunity I’d regret it later. Life is too short to not follow your dreams because it pays less and involves more career risks.

I believe that your position is a good path on becoming Game Director. Good luck to you!
You do get some growth by increasing the number of students you have and if research budgets expand but I'm guessing that is a function of inflation and population growth. Technology also allows you to teach more students with less faculty input so maybe you get productivity gains there.

Kensington is well outside of the central congestion zone (the western extension was scrapped ages ago).

That said, you seem to have a weird obsession with driving.

I can afford it and I don't drive into London because it just doesn't make sense. I've done it. Drive in to the West End, takes me way longer than cycling or taking a bus/tube, and then.... oh, it's going to take me 15 minutes to even find a parking spot.

It's more of a hobbyist/enthusiast thing. It's fun. I sometimes do it because one day you just know it won't be allowed any more.

I've lived centrally before and probably will again at some point. I'd sell the car, because it'd be pointless. Not because of cost, but because the only journeys that would make more sense to do by car are massive supermarket runs and country getaways.

Everything else is faster, quicker, and less stressful via public transport in London.

An insulator by definition is matter that doesn't have freely flowing electrons so vacuums aren't an insulator. However, all insulators have a "breakdown voltage" at which point the electrons start "ripping" through the material so a vacuum has all of the properties of an insulator except the mass: the breakdown voltage is the the amount of energy required to eject electrons from the materials surrounding the vacuum and until you reach that point, no current will flow through the vacuum.
I’ve coomented elsewhere about poorer people being left out of car ownership because of the current tax system, which is also pretty regressive. Afaik the cost for a public transport pass can easily reach 200 pounds per month (anyway, I’m pretty sure it’s more than 100 pounds per month) at which point it would be a lot better from a financial point of view for a poor person to purchase a 15-year old 1,000 pound Vauxhall Corsa and use that instead. But that financial alternative is made non-viable by the current tax system because of the high taxes on gasoline, because of higher taxes on older, more polluting cars and one can also add the higher insurance premiums affecting the younger (and so poorer) people more.
It just might be a more accurate if it was something like, “Marriott bought itself a security nightmare with the Starwood acquisition.” It is certainly Marriott’s problem to deal with now, but there security team might not be as bad as Starwood’s.

>Yet there's plenty of food in the photos, and it's ice cream, soft drinks, burgers, hot dogs, etc., the same stuff routinely blamed for the obesity epidemic four score years later.

That "plenty of food" was not 24/7 bombarded into the population with ads, not was it 90% of a supermarket, portions at restaurants were much smaller, and the sugar content was less. Plus most people, and for decades more, cooked and ate at home.

There are exceptions for paywalls.
Precisely this. Website operators who wish to establish effective paywalls with publicly indexed content need a way to cryptographically authenticate web crawlers. That means working with search engines to establish a standard for registering and authenticating authorized crawlers.

If Google isn't interested in such a standard (because it reduces the quality of open search results) then that's the publishers' problem, not Google's or users'.
Most decisions put to referendum in Switzerland don't require deep knowledge. In fact most decisions governments make don't - they can't because neither politicians nor civil servants are chosen on the basis of their specialised knowledge.

Typical issues that go to referendum in Switzerland range from the trivial (shall we raise taxes to build a new football stadium/road tunnel/etc), to the constitutional (should international treaties be able to override referendums... that one is running at the moment). In none of these cases is a decision so complex that it can't be understood by everyone in a short time.

Generally, I've found that anyone claiming a government-level decision is too complicated to explain to an average person is trying to cover up major weaknesses in the underlying arguments.

The kind of everybody is equal mentality that must underlie such a statement boggles my mind. It's an attitude that is shockingly disconnected from the real world

The extent to which people differ in their moral and intellectual potential is the defining difference that creates right wing vs left wing politics in basically any democratic society. Read Thomas Sowell's "A Conflict of Visions" to get a very insightful analysis of why this is so. Far from being mind boggling, it's entirely expected that different people have different intuitions about the capability of the average person.

Vacuum tubes (thermionic valves) work by heating a tungsten filament-- the cathode-- until the filament is hot enough to emit electrons, which are then attracted to the positively-charged plate (anode), traveling through the vacuum (and thus flowing current). Current only flows in one direction in this setup, which has two electrodes, leading to the moniker "diode." Adding a third electrode in between the cathode and anode-- called the "grid" based on its physical shape-- allowed a vacuum tube (now a 'triode') to use a small signal to control a large one. An amplifier!

The key to the function is the heating of the cathode filament. Vacuum tube designs that use a separate heating current (which is, today, most of them) do not conduct if the heating current is not applied. "Cold cathode" type tubes are not vacuum tubes-- they are typically filled with a low-pressure gas.
>I avoid bitwise manipulation on negative numbers, because they're not guaranteed to be two's complement.

This seems purely theoretical, as there is no reasonable architectures that are not using two's complement. It will be defined as two's complement in C++20. (but still with signed overflow UB, to keep some optimizations possible)
