Regarding the video attention, Fortnite is building most of its community around game streamers instead of players! Most of the Fortnite events are heavily focused on big streamers than pro gamers unlike other successful big gaming communities.

That leaves a lot of power to streamers hand. But streamers will play any game that they’re get paid to play unlike players from community.

Most of their community are following streamers instead of the game or Epic. That is how many of them moved to ApexLegends when top streamers got paid to play ApexLegends.

Yeah, but all information they might gather here is already available for anyone else who wants to run a scan.
> And yet online I see complaint after complaint about how big AAA games aren't delivering value for the money because of all the DLC available that they feel "should" be part of the base game. I don't get it.

My complaint: If I, something of a story completionist, want to ensure I get to play all the story content which was built for, say, Asassain's Creed Odessey, I have to not only pay that up front $100+ (to get the appropriate level of pre-order exclusive content) cost, I have to spend an additional hundred plus for season passes and other DLC. And that's not counting all the extra skins and weapons for sale.

I'm glad you feel you're getting your money's worth, but not everyone plays games the same way you do. For some people, the level of content you purchased is a week's worth of entertainment.
Wow, this is the first time I hear this argument, and it is a really good one.

To enjoy and play games require some initiation to it as a kid. And the kind of games marketed at kids today I don't think do a good job at creating this interest. That could really hurt the industry long term.
It's funny to realize its doing the same thing as the "red pilled" or "woke" communities do: Show some good information, to then tell you their own kind of information (some extreme or emotional non-sense)

Forbidden Knowledge: Public Controversy and the Production of Nonknowledge [pdf]
UK government with its shady GCHQ, and all-around general incompetancy isn't realy someone to be trusted to understand and act on such nuanced issues.

The UK government and its organizations have had history of extra judicial killings(Esp during the Troubles), and stockpiling nuclear weapons, morally the stuff that FB is being called out for isn't even on the same scale.
Five Tips for Junior Devs-To-Be
For a consulting company where you get revenue up front, what would you need besides:

- legal fees

- an accountant

- setting up a domain with a WordPress landing page and an email provider.

- computer equipment (which you probably already have)?
Yeah, the second statement is also valid, though definitely not what I got from the parent's comment.

Though, in that case, I think the argument is more like:

1. That shape is equilateral
2. That shape is equiangular

It turns out it's a square. Rob Pike's public comments on the subject do seem to betray a weak grasp of actual type theory. Or at least one that is about as strong as it could ever get if your knowledge is primarily informed by practical experience with C++ or Java-style deeply broken type systems. But it's also true that Go's found an alternative approach that gets the job done. Or at least, gets the job done if you're writing the types of programs that he's writing.

So, even with the alternative statement, I still see no argument here.
And Japan is about to decommission the other Fukushima plant (Daini with 4 reactors, not Daichi with 6, where the tsunami happend) because local residents don't want nuclear power anymore.
My dream is a modern Star Wars TIE Fighter space shooter...in VR.

But I doubt the VR market is big enough to justify the investment that’s demanded by the Star Wars license. Like you say, AAA is sometimes a straight-jacket.
YES!! Emphatically Yes! I travel quite a bit. I would much rather have 1 wallet no matter the digital currencies than have 10 physical currencies at dubious future value.
A wonderful time-lapse of DPNK (sound on)
Easy. Don't put it in the fridge until you know you're going to drink it later that day. Or quick-cool it by dunking in ice water for about a hour.
Wait - what other type of application is there? I transitioned to SPAs 18 years ago and would never look back. That is for "applications". For web sites I would never use SPA. I stick with server-side rendered HTML.
I will go even further - all code is bad and probably broken. Why bad - because if you put 10 engineers in the room and ask them to look at it, they will argue about personal preferences and not about what code actually does. And you can always improve what you wrote, which means current state is far from good.

STechnical debt is not a universal thing. You can have a debt free code, then new hire will argue that whole thing is going to collapse and needs to be rewritten. Even when rewriting it brings 0 ROI and it actually good as it is. I’ve seen fair share of engineering initiatives that were complete waste of time, caused by attempts to fight “tech debt”.

The only good use of technical debt is to manipulate business folks into approving projects you want to work on. And I’m guilty of using it that way.
Targeting cancer cells is hard. One of the functions of the immune system is to clear out pre-cancerous disease and error state. Cancer proliferates because it evolves in situ to evade immune regulatory checks.

One of the reasons stem cell technology is moving so slowly is that, apart from mammalian cell culture being hard, we're extremely anxious about messing with the growth pathways. Tripping up the gene expression is what causes cancer in the first place. We're trying to find exploits in the same machinery to induce novel transformations without kicking the cell into unregulated growth. It's going to be a long time before I let something like that into my body.
CSS isn't a programming language, that is the fundamental difference and explains a LOT of the debate surrounding it.
So you were the site organizer, and I bet you told people in advance what they could expect to be available on-site, right?

They weren't in the wrong for being prepared, but for not listening to you.
1941 Philippines was as American as 1941 Hawaii which were both about as American as or 1848-1859 Oregon Territory was or 1941-present Puerto Rico is. So, American, if you consider territory where Americans live on American soil to be American.

Where they fork off is the Philippines are now an independent nation, Hawaii is now a US State, Oregon Territory was eventually split into 3 entire US States and part of a couple of others, and Puerto Rico still has more or less the same status as it did in 1941, but a few more rights and privileges afforded to them along with present day Guam, present day Northern Marianas Islands, and present day US Virgin Islands. American Samoa is US Territory, but a Navy playground so while the people are American Nationals living under the US Constituton, they’re not American Citizens and their territory is considered to be on par with all those unpopulated guano Islands we once claimed. That’s the law, 2019.

The Filipinos are culturally distinct but we still count large numbers of them as American Citizens, both as immigrants and as a people that have lived in the mainland since before the Philippines were granted independence. The Native Hawaiians were and still are considered culturally distinct but they are still American Citizens by birthright.

Put another way, your defensive posture is simply out of place here. On December 7th 1941, the Japanese attacked the United States. That shouldn’t need qualification. If they had only attacked Manila but didn’t make it to Oahu, they still would have been attacking the United States and that was certainly the intent of their attack.
China is a much bigger market than India in 1973
That would be an improvement over the current situation, yes.

Ideally, joint assets remain joint and there are no claims against future income.
A government can steal your gold an outlaw it, as the US government did in 1933.

They can also try to outlaw bitcoin, but they have a bit more trouble stealing it.
The TL;DR: Definitely not ready for primetime.

So many crypto projects lack tooling or a real UI. This is sad and earmarks the distinction between hobby level tools and those which can be used by regular people.
I haven’t looked yet, but sometimes it can be due to difficulty of acquisition due to lack of exchanges that offer trading pairs for it
This uninformative blog-spam should probably not be on HN. Reads like an ad, and a bad one.
I think this is a good point and shows how there is more depth and complexity to the conversation. I find that my work isn't as draining as it could be, but part of that is I often spend over an hour a day chit-chatting with coworkers at work. If it's not all meetings-go-go-build-go-go, then work can be quite pleasant, while still being productive.

And given the problem of loneliness that is arising, it might be less smart to reduce the work week (giving people more time to be alone), than to just make work less intense and forgiving. I.e, I suspect 56.5h is better than 48h.
>In addition, if the network were ever to go offline, there isn't a deterministic way to get it back online.

I haven't heard anyone say this about Algorand. Can you provide more details? Lets say a bug causes all the Algorand nodes to crash. After a patch is released 90% of the network comes back online. What prevents the selected users from arriving at consensus over the next block?
I’m Leaving a Research I University for a Liberal Arts College (2017)
Indeed, thus “another approach” :) There are several different approaches trying to tackle this same problem in the space, some further along than others, and typically all with different tradeoffs and at different points in the system. e.g. Lightning is arguably addressing some of these issues as well, but at a different point---on top of Bitcoin, rather than instead of.

I called out Coda because it's both an independent system and aimed at a very similar set of issues, but it's absolutely a different approach. Figured it might be of interest to folks who were looking at this article.
1. Sales numbers have increased significantly. Compare GTA 3 (2001) which sold 2 million in its first 3 months, 6 million in its first two years and 15 million lifetime to GTA 4 (2008) which sold 8.5 million in its first month, and 20 million in its first 3 years to GTA 5 (2013) which sold 11.2 million on its first day, 29 million it its first 6 weeks and is currently at 100 million lifetime sales.

2. Add to that DLC (and now microtransactions and loot boxes) pushing the ARPU up.

3. The rise of special editions and preorder content mean most games are launching with special editions in the €120-€200 range. I don't have a breakdown for special vs regular edition sales but they're certainly pushed hard and I know of people who do buy them.

4. Also not everywhere has seen the same stagnation in video game prices, here the price of a new release on console has gone from IR£25 (€32/$35) in the PS1 era to €70 ($80) these days.
Mostly agreed... To me, it's not so dissimilar to the processing of a lot of other foods... segmenting citrus for pre-pealed/canned versions or handling/processing of cashews or even how black olives are express-ripened beyond nature.

While, personally, I feel that lean meats are wholly unnatural and fattier cuts/grounds should be preferred, I'm not sure there's a lot to get worked up about. The low-fat, low-cholesterol, low-salt diet trends are probably the single worst trends to happen to american health. The issues around antibiotics are also huge.

For the most part, people are far better off avoiding refined sugars, grains and refined vegetable oils. If most people did that, without any other measures taken, things would be a lot better. Not eating processed meat in general not withstanding.
What about social engineering and distractions? Even ancient Rome used this technique—take the Colosseum for instance. The problem is that in recent years our culture has be stuffed up by vested interests (and IT and the internet hasn't helped here either).
How Is AR Boosting Retail Commerce?
I'm trying to find mainstream adoption drivers. Securing your money against possible future government intrusion is akin to prepping, hardly a mainstream way of life. Even the prepper community itself is more likely to stockpile gold and ammo instead of crypto currency. There isn't much room left in between the regulars and the preppers to provide demand for crypto currency.
20 years ago marvel declared bankruptcy because of major missteps following a speculation bubble in the early 90s.

I'm of the opinion that CSS actually has more in common with logic-based programming languages (like Prolog, or more specifically ones based on defeasible logic) than with ordinary languages of the "imperative" or "functional" sort. I think that reading CSS with this in mind helps make sense of some of CSS's features (e.g. specificity, the way selectors work).
Funny, I'm right now dealing with 10 years of photos I've put off organizing. It can be a chore.

For me it's like asking, would you want Amazon to succeed if you did not profit from it?* Obviously, if I am not personally invested in Amazon, I don't really care that much. But it still could have value for society for other reasons than getting rich off of speculating.

For example: https://www.coindesk.com/crypto-gaza-west-bank-bitcoin-pales...

* To those people who say, "You can't compare crypto to a company because companies pay dividends," that is specifically why I chose Amazon as an example, a stock that does not pay dividends.
As long as you can't buy food or pay your electricity bill with any cryptocurrency, you haven't achieved any of these things.

So the question becomes, why should the supermarket or the utility company accept crypto payments instead of dollars, when they know the former can lose 20%-99% of its value overnight, while the value of the latter is guaranteed to be kept stable by the government?
A lot of things can then be explained as a debt. If you ate a cake you were not suppose to - you are putting weight debt. Watched Netflix instead of Ted talks - knowledge debt. Too many Ted talks - entertainment debt. I can go on and on.
> What we call technical debt is really best analogous to an uncovered short sale

Steve Freeman famously described it as an unhedged call option:

https://jaxenter.com/bad-code-isnt-technical-debt-103059.htm...

The key difference between a short position and a call option is that the former is linear, whereas the latter is not: if things let a little bit worse, a short will lose a little bit of money, whereas a call will cost nothing, but if things get a lot worse, a short will lose a lot of money, and a call may lose an enormous amount of money.

Someone who actually works at some dodgy trading company argued that some kinds of debt are like options, and some are like debt - and so potentially, some are like shorts:

http://blog.jayfields.com/2011/03/types-of-technical-debt.ht...

So now we just need to calculate our technical debt portfolio's delta, beta, vega, theta, rho ...
CSS === Cascading Style Sheets

In the context describe in the article, there is nothing cascading, and there are no sheets.

What he / she is doing is going back to the late 90's and inlining all the style'ing. I'm not judging the technique, simply pointing out that it's not actually CSS.
Fast international transfers have been a clear win.

Besides that, just because something is illegal doesn't make it wrong. Many nations restrict transactions that are not reasonable to restrict.

So what's wrong with side-stepping bad laws (but also monopolistic players in the financial space such as PayPal and Western Union)?

Your second bullet point is mutually exclusive with the first.
I haven't used all the other ones, but "Delphi" really made me crack up. I used it for 6 months before I quit my job. It's a mess, junk after junk added on a pile of junk, only surpassing the junk-adding badness of C++ by also having this broken standard library that's somehow required to write any type of software (because the simplest thing, C-like pointers, exist but are really not nice to work with).

The task that lead to my decision to quit was to write a data serialization systems for datastructure that I didn't know in which version of junk they were expressed, by interfacing with the broken standard library. The serialization system was to replace another serialization system that somehow didn't quite work. No wonder, it was broken code, and I couldn't see a way to write non-broken code to solve an unsolveable problem.

What's nice about Delphi is that the compiler is quick and it has a beginner-friendly IDE with a visual GUI creator (no selling point for me). That's about it, AFAICT.
The infrastructure of both payments for goods and services, and for storing your assets.

As of now, paying for goods and services with cryptocurrencies is relatively risky; it's hard to get recourse if you're scammed; and the standard credit card infrastructure with chargebacks and fraud protection is comparably more trustworthy.

As of now, storing cryptorcurrencies is risky. And I'm not even talking about the shady brokers/exchanges that can steal or lose their customer's money. You can store it yourself as well as you can - but, as it turns out, most people aren't that good at storing it securely, so all kinds of risks and breaches (e.g. hacking your devices to get access to your secrets) are more common than for bank accounts but, also, the consequences are more severe - if your bank account gets drained in an identity theft attack, very often these funds are recovered or compensated, not so with crypto. So again, the existing financial infrastructure with regulation, FDIC or similar insurance in case of fraud or insolvency, mandated consumer protection in case of scammed credentials - it's more trustworthy than the commonly used processes&procedures&infrastructure of crypto storage.
If the government funded them they'd immediately be accused of bias by whoever was the receiving end.

Seems a little odd to devote so much of the article to evaluating the user interface when the current release is aimed at "developers, researchers, and community members who want to help _make_ Filecoin"[1]. Still, I can see the potential.

One thing I'm still not sure of is how Filecoin compares with Sia. Based on the articles I've read so far it seems very similar (except that Sia is older so its tooling/UI is obviously much more mature). Are there any fundamental differences I may be missing?

Stay with me for a second; I'm going to go wildly afield... does intellectual property need an Adverse Possession law, too? [1]

Your grandfather had a book, the rights of which should have been presumably passed down to you. My grandfather had a patented mining claim that has been passed down to me. Where the ownership of your grandfather's book is questionable, for me the physical corners of the property are questionable. A number of them are defined by things like a "4 foot spruce post" or a "12 inch diameter tree trunk" that haven't survived the ravages of time.

But it is important that I patrol my property at least every couple of years because of Adverse Possession. If someone else were to use my property continuously and I don't say anything against it, one day their trespassing suddenly and magically would become ownership. For a land-owner, it is a scary idea that someone can steal my property from me, as has actually happened. [2]

But I can acknowledge that it makes some sense. It comes from the idea that land is meant to be used, and if you aren't using it, maybe the person who is using it should get the rights.

If nobody can stand up for an intellectual property claim, perhaps some kind of adverse possession is in order.

That gets into the very tricky idea of "What is commercialization?" If you use a Creative Commons works that's BY-NC on your blog, but your blog runs ads, is it now commercial? What if it's funded by Patreon? That's why Wikipedia doesn't allow NC and the premise behind the Free Culture licenses.

Funny, I thought the lesson here is that if you take away the barriers to the entry, all regulation, most of the financial burden, and provide nearly complete anonymity for disseminating news and information then foreign state actors will abuse it.

I can point my finger at the problems above. I can clearly articulate the problems above. I can even propose some clear and limited solutions to those problems.

But there are monied and powerful interests who do not want to solve those problems. So we will end up blaming "stupid people" or give a "blank check" of regulatory authority that ends up being abused to line the pockets of bureaucrats who will craft laws that damage free speech and the rights of common people.

Before we go start a class war about educating the unwashed masses, or create a new "TSA for the internet" let's just stop and think about how this problem has been solved reasonably for "old media" without hampering free speech or redesigning school curriculum across the globe.
