I consider stop-and-frisk to be in direct volition with the fourth amendment. Boarder control is a little different. I have the intention of extending these rights to all humans, so the boarder shouldn't change the rights of humans. Becoming aware of substance abuse (while say operating a vehicle) has potential for being "reasonable cause" for search... Though I'm not sure I'd entirely buy it.

I'm convinced that since citizens don't know their rights, that the government doesn't think we care about them, and uses that against us when we try defending them. It's the idea of... If you don't use them, you lose them.

There are game types that just aren't possible without massive budgets. Huge open world games in particular can't be made without a large team of content creators[1]. For games like Red Dead Redemption, Breath of the Wild, etc... there isn't anything close to comparable coming out of a small studio anytime in the near future.

Even CD Projekt Red, which is based in a low cost of living country spent $81 million developing The Witcher III. A small studio with a $2 million budget has absolutely no chance of making something that players who expect The Witcher III will think is good enough.

And as technology (and budgets) progress, gamers expect more. More art, more story, more quests. The kind of content that we are nowhere near auto-generating.

1. I shouldn't say can't be made--can't be made up to the standards players expect. No Man's Sky and other games have tried, but procedural generation just doesn't come close to matching the quality and detail of more hand crafted open worlds.
The Facebook Messenger tab in my browser consumes way more memory than that if left open.

Because those USA companies can expose Chinese citizens to information the Chinese government doesn’t want them to be aware of. If you’re not willing to bend to the censorship demands of the Chinese govt, you can’t — or are at least limited in your capacity - to do business in China.

It’s not like the US and other Western countries are letting Chinese companies run freely amuck either. There has been increasing scrutiny against large companies like Huawei that are in cahoots with the Chinese state.

> I always read this but do we really have the tech to this without needing big and heavy equipment

Sure, the chemistry is simple and well understood and the equipment needed isn't that heavy.

> and (without) a lot of energy

Nope. Splitting water is heavily endothermic. The SpaceX BFR Mars mission plan would require ~3MW continous for two years for the energy required for CO2 capture and chemistry to make enough CH4+O2 to return to earth. This is a massive amount of energy, basically requiring either a quite respectable fission reactor or ~10ish MW of solar panels, which take about a single BFS cargo hold by themselves.

The reason these kinds of plans are floated regardless of the energy costs are simply that carrying that much power production down there is still much easier than taking enough fuel with you to return home.
how? thru fracking? say bye to drinking water.
You can't use Blind without giving them your company email. But yeah, you can reasonably assume that your company can track who received Blind invites.

The WiFi bit doesn't matter much assuming Blind uses SSL (though I've never checked). Your company could see that you've connected but not what you've posted or read.
Everybody else has some good advice here.

But for me, if I were in your position, I'd only want to learn the answers to 3 simple questions:

1) Tell me about your first sale in this market, and all of the circumstances surrounding it.

2) How did you get that first customer?

3) Before you made that first sale to that first customer, what was the set of problems you realized or experienced that led to the value creation that resulted in that first sale?

In other words, what's the inception point of this $25 million dollar company?

The answers to those simple questions should answer a lot...

Bonus Question: What was the toughest problem you faced in getting this company to a $25 million company, and how did you solve it?

I'll bet that will open up a great discussion!

Sure, it's a playable demo but it's barely a full fledged game.

Don't get me wrong, their development cycle is fine if they can keep with it and releasing content is awesome from them. However, I wouldn't recommend anyone that isn't a Space Citizen enthusiast to get their hands on Squadron 42.
I'm not engaging with you any further, as I said I have no skin in the game, but you're clearly suffering from a sunk-cost fallacy.

It's hard to talk sense to a fanatic who's too invested to realize they should stop spending already.

Personally I love Indies, and can enjoy unpolished games (check out Kenshi, game of the year for me!). But watching Star citizen unfold is like watching an extremely slow motion car wreck. I almost invested in the KS, I'm really glad I didn't.

I think the most relevant term to this discussion is Hitchens's razor.
I don’t know that it is necessarily in line with foreign policy goals on balance. Yes it is serving the US well in the short term in our dealing with said countries. However, the argument has been made that runaway climate change will have very bad economic and security implications for the US. We’re once again borrowing from the future with the hopes that 1) we can find a fix and 2) it’ll be worse for “them” than it will be for us.

As JUUL has been advertising, vaping is not smoking. That's a whole different thing. You could also aerosolize CBD oil particles with a mister and breath them in. That's not smoking "CBD flower".

CBD flower is just jank weed that has a higher CBD and lower THC levels. If that's what you want to burn, fine, but that doesn't make it not weed.
I would be shocked if it "never sees the light of day" at this point, just due to the amount of invested resources. Even if CIG had lost the Crytek lawsuit and had to pay up a mass sum or go under, or if they run out of money in the future, someone would probably pick it up for cheap (as Microsoft once did with a previous Chris Roberts title) and wrap it up into a nice bow.
This will only happen as long as investors are willing to throw money at fracking without expecting returns. The economics of the fracking industry are dubious at best. See for example: http://knowledge.wharton.upenn.edu/article/will-fracking-ind...

Compromising the water supply should not be reduced to a political question. Even the far right drinks contaminated water and dies.
In this case it’s arguably one of those “well, it’s worth it” scenarios because there is evidence that the expensive version is better than the cheap version (though arguably perhaps not better enough to justify the cost).

The situation gets turned on it’s head when it’s an experimental procedure, though. “Insurance wouldn’t pay for x because it was experimental!” is an all too frequent complaint (it’s even the entire catalyst for the show Leverage).

Well, why do you think they don’t pay for it? Not only is it always insanely expensive, but it’s also got a 40% chance of success according to the doctor who wants to perform it (who is incentivized to keep his stats up) and it’s not endorsed by anyone... and that is a huge liability.

So I suppose my point here is that, for the armchair physicians online, every chance there is to save $1k there’s a chance to spend $100k. If you remove regulation you’re not just accomplishing savings on one thing, you’re opening up a pandora’s box of expense on another.
And from what I understand, this was a new point of view from governments at the time. The idea of natural born rights was kind of in stark contrast to how governments usually operated: with authority and a lack of respect of human rights.
I'm not at all denying that Cisco and others might be a gateway to five eyes. But there's also the fact that there is incredibly more oversight in 'five eyes' countries, and of course they are 'my side'. I naturally care less about 'us' spying on 'them' than I do 'them' spying on 'me'.

I do remember feeling of being in something of RPG drought when Baldur's Gate came along. At least I believe that was the sentiment expressed by PC Games magazine, which I was reading pretty heavily at the time.

I don't think ES or Fallout were on my radar at that time but you're the first person I've heard with very positive opinions of Daggerfall; most of the ES nostalgics seem to pine for Morrowind.

Baldur's Gate had the D&D license, though, and that gave it a lot of weight and staying power for people who weren't already into CRPGs. I think it also left a much larger impact than any of the games you've mentioned save maybe Fallout II. Part of the draw for me were those D&D rules; I was pretty heavy into tabletop RPGs at the time.

Because every API I access returns JSON, and because half those API have a JS package sitting somewhere in NPM.

Bonus, a large % also have typescript definition files laying around.

So my choice is either:

1. Deal with JSON in native, and create my own wrappers for every API out there, because next to no one publishes C/C++ libraries anymore.

2. Give in to the JS behemoth.

tl;dr ecosystem.

Take a look at the apps you are executing now.

Now imagine if they were all electron based and therefore consuming 1GB+ each?

Also we need to take into account that it feels slugish and they are not as responsive as other apps, and i guess it has to do with JS VM reaching the tipping point of what it can do and optmize..

Anyway, my main point is that the big problem will happen when you stack those things.. than a computer that should be more than enough, just isn't.

Even the user with low tech awareness, will close the app and feel his computer is working better.. and they will blame the company who makes the app for making their computers feel slugish in the end.
At least for Rust, the raw compiled code performance isn't quite there yet.

You can pick languages other than C++ or Java, but for a specialized and bespoke hardware/software combination like HFT, you'll be at a disadvantage vs other teams.

In my experience, or at least something I've seen at 3 different firms now, there's also an issue around the kind of people that pick exotic languages in terms of pragmatism. Often times the Scala/Haskell/whatever else side of the codebase is beautiful and slow moving while the hacky C++ side actually works and is agile.

Compared to the typical functional language applications, Rust is different in that it's mainly being battle tested in the kind of Firefox performance issues that are very interesting to an HFT programmer and Rust easily interfaces with C.
Ok, perhaps that was an over simplification - they are "complicated chat clients", but that still doesn't excuse the fact that massive industrial programs start instantly nowadays if they are native - think Unreal Engine, 3ds Studio Max, Blender, Sublime Text, the list goes on

Back when Landis made his proposal, he proposed the poles because that was the only place we knew to contain water.

Since then, we've found a lot more. For example, this recent paper about the million cubic km of ice in Valles Marineris[1] (which are near the equator), or this presentation about kilometer-thick glaciers on Mars at mid-latitudes[2] from the recent Mars society convention.

We don't have to go to really cold and annoying for return flights locations near the poles to find water -- there's plenty of it on Mars in better places.

"More and more Chinese citizens are travelling abroad yet their beliefs in the "Chinese system" only gets re-affirmed by mistakenly thinking that China's success is completely dependent on authoritarianism."

This is by far the scariest part.

Even people who knowingly try to 'escape the system' still support it, as though 'the party = China'.

I believe this problem exists a little bit in Europe where so many believe the EU = Europe, they use the terms interchangeably.

A lot of people express concerns about Electrons resource usage. I wonder if people are aware of projects like zserge/webview [1]? It provides a cross platform API on top of the built in platform browsers and thus is very lightweight.

Of course, it means you have to deal with cross-browser issues, but I guess webdevelopers are used to this anyway. I'm also aware that these projects don't provide all the APIs that Electron provides, but many apps that are really just a wrapper around a webapp this is totally fine IMO.

I am definitely curious how they'll manage to keep post-release funding afloat for all of the server costs and content development. I would expect a game with Star Citizen's server demands to be a subscription title, and I doubt they'll be able to keep selling ships at the rate they have once you can reasonably earn them in-game. (You can now buy ships in-game, but it takes a lot more money than people tend to make right now, and everything gets reset regularly anyways at the moment.)
