It's not that you lack the language skills to describe it, it's that you accessed a state of consciousness that exists before/beyond language. This is a state that has been extensively explored through meditation by yogis and which the foundation of Vedantic teachings if you want to learn more. The way I (poorly) understand it is that language is part of the veil that separates us from Source. You can't communicate what lies beyond the veil because the tool of communication is of the veil.
Had the same idea as Keynua. I quickly (foolishly?) dismissed it because of Deep Fake.

CS Degrees Are Mostly Just Signaling – An Interview with Economist Bryan Caplan
Google announce ‘Stadia’, a new cloud gaming service built on Linux and Vulkan
Spravato will be covered by at least some insurance plans, that was the point of FDA approval. Kaiser is already running ketamine clinics in California.
Yeah, this is my opinion, too, almost right on the nose. Especially the part about only supporting a product for a few years.

I also don't like the idea of games-as-a-service in the sense that I only own a license to the game for as long as I pay a monthly fee. I'm okay with licensing content within the game (i.e. DLC), but I shy away from subscription games services like Xbox Games Pass or EA's Origin subscription.

A streaming game product like this doesn't solve that issue. Additionally, the latency issue, like you pointed out, is too much for me to consider _not_ owning my own gaming hardware.
Huh, how can you compare this to Steam? Google aims to obviate the need for gamers to own top-of-the-line hardware. Steam does not offer that feature.
That's their excuse, the real reason is they don't want to their home they paid $1.5m+ for to depreciate.
> Watch the movie Glengarry Glen Ross sometime. The life of a typical real estate agent really is that bad, or worse.

You do realize that all the salesman in that movie were scammers right?
I think we'll have to see what Microsoft is going to do at E3, because they've signalled in the past that they want to take this streaming approach, and they have their own cloud too...
"Brah, you started a new workout routine nearly every other month and haven't stuck with it. What makes this time different?"
This is a lot of CapEx for something that will never have exclusive games and is limited to rich countries.
I've had this same problem, specifically with regard to the pace of communication now that all communication is instant. So I created an email platform that sends and receives messages once a day: https://www.pony.gg/. I am in the process of launching it now. Would greatly appreciate feedback.

More broadly, I've read about this issue a few times here on HN as well:

Ransomware Fighter Lives in Fear for His Life
Its commoditized the cost to use software to near zero which has created a lot of unprecedented value and products that wouldn't be possible before OSS.

Unfortunately most of the wealth created by OSS is being reaped by the large cloud vendors because relatively no-one pays for OSS but they do to host their production systems on it, atm this revenue goes directly to the major tech cloud companies which are using it to build out their multi-billion dollar infrastructure moats, ensuring a barrier to entry no other will be able to partake in.

This is why cloud vendors have become so "OSS friendly" - they love the status quo as they've become the primary beneficiaries from everyone developing and distributing OSS for free as long as they're able to collect the rent when it gets hosted in the end.

You're starting to see the conflicts as more companies like Redis Labs, Elastic, Confluent and MongoDB who realize this and start distributing their future investments under "OSS free that's free for everyone else but can't be used commercially by cloud vendors" as a way to force licensing so Cloud vendors are unable to use their own investments to compete against them - and force some revenue share back from when Customers pay for OSS, when they host it.

So when you hear how much cloud companies "love OSS" and how their initiatives like "Open Distro for Elasticsearch" is to ensure it stays open, know that they're not doing it out of altruism, it's to repackage Elastic's OSS investments and make it available for free so they can be hosted on AWS without having to host with Elastic, it effectively lets them avoid licensing and revenue sharing back to the companies who've invested their time and resources into developing it.
Google’s new Stadia game controller has a few tricks up its sleeves
Latency hiding in "traditional" multiplayer games basically works by doing computations for other players locally (even if it's as simple as dead reckoning and extrapolating a few milliseconds into the 'future'), and only apply corrections when this diverges too much from the server because of network hick-ups. Unless Google invented some new magic, that's not possible with a video stream (but hmm, who knows, maybe they have invented their own 'game-streaming video codec' with additional information for some sort of 2D-dead-reckoning for regions of the video frame... but my guess is they simply don't care about latency).
I am a "gamer", I have a 2080Ti and I hope it's the last 1500$ gaming equipment I ever have to buy. It sits idle 95%+ of the time and it is tied to only one of the all the screens in my house.

I want this to work.
I would try it and I would eat it if it tastes good. There are a lot of different kinds of meat that would need suitable replacements though:

* all cuts of steak

* chicken

* pork

* salmon, tuna, mackerel, eel, sea urchin, shrimp...

Ground beef seems like low hanging fruit, making convincing sushi seems more difficult.

> And honestly it seems a bit selfish to not at least try the less environmentally damaging option.

I can think of several reasons people may not want artificial meat. Maybe they think it's gross (test tube meat) or it goes against tradition and culture. I don't think the "shaming" angle works well to get people to change their diet. I know I immediately tune out or get defensive when people tell me what I should do with my personal life. Especially since almost everything is "bad" for the environment. So unless someone lives in a dirt hut, eating veggies they grow themselves, wearing clothes made from their own hemp and never traveling, I really don't take what they have to say about the environment into consideration.
Exactly. The package manager method of updating stomps on the in-use libraries for the running application. The built-in Mozilla updater knows better, downloads an update payload but doesn't apply it until the user relaunches and on "first run" it actually does the update rather than launching, and after that completes it launches the updated application. It's the same on macOS, Windows, and Linux.

Chrome on macOS and Windows keeps itself up to date; for whatever reason Chrome on Linux installs a google.chrome repository, uses the distro package manager, and clobbers the running binary. shrug
I could buy that. What I've found is that a lot of the most fundamental truths of the universe are really simple. So simple, they can often be expressed as, or nearly as, tautologies. Here's one for karma: if you put good into the world, there will be good in the world.
Fair enough, I agree that we read the question differently. I was answering more in terms of what I thought the average person might consider a solitary or lonely lifestyle. I think spending many hours alone in a room reading and thinking about things would be very unpleasant for large portions of the population.
“Most of what you study in school you are highly unlikely to ever use in a job—if you even remember it.”

I wish I had asked Bryan about the value of universal education for society in terms of creating opportunities for specialization: Most kids will never use their high school biology, higher math, history, and physics in their future jobs. But some will. And those doctors and scientists and engineers are really important for society. Given that, is it worth the cost of exposing everyone to these subjects because we don't know in advance which kids will take to them (and later become highly valuable contributors to society)?
And yet somehow silicon valley companies are oblivious to this. I have had so many recruiters disappear on me when I mentioned upfront that I cannot move to the bay area. It was surprising because some of these companies have small or satellite offices in the city I live in and yet they want "co-located" team members only.
Everyone I know at large tech companies, not podunk shitty websites 2 people have ever heard of. I work at a large multinational company you've definitely heard of. Like I said, we take GDPR extremely seriously because of the magnitude of potential fines
You can either demolish the brick wall or you can take it apart brick by brick. One of which is overwhelming and can cause collateral damage, the other of which takes longer but accomplishes the same with more safety.

My understanding is that many spiritual traditions have historically viewed psychedelics as ego’s way of “grasping” for enlightenment, for many before they are prepared for what they may experience.

A “bad trip” can leave someone in a state of confusion that they aren’t quite prepared to deal with.
Alternatively, it might annoy their current customers enough that a significant number of them leave the platform.
I know the obvious takeaway is (to exaggerate) that all realtors are crooks who are selling your house for too little because they don't care about you. But are we to expect that every realtor should spend as much time and effort selling every home as they do on their own? They presumably only sell their own home every few years, if that, and sell other people's homes every week.

I'm actually surprised the numbers aren't "worse" for realtor's own homes. Never mind that realtor's are, presumably, the most aware of local market conditions and are then in a position to best prepare their own homes for a higher sale price, i.e.: more likely to do home improvements that reap a higher return, to know how to best show the house, etc.

It’s chill! So, two things:

1. I can send you a patch later, but if you use std::io::stdin() and stdout, instead of opening the file descriptors, it should compile on Windows.

2. The borrow error was coming from miri; it detected some UB! Compiling with cargo does work. It’s not the bit I expected; I can file a bug with the error once I’m back at my laptop.

Anyway, this is a cool project, and I’m glad you’re doing it; don’t let my worries bug you. I’ve been trying to learn more unsafe stuff and so the UB bits are just on my mind more lately.

EDIT: actually it's just from building on nightly rust, not stable. No miri needed. I wonder why stable is okay with this... anyway I filed some github issues, please feel free to ignore me or close them, but if you wanna keep talking about this, let's do that there :)
I still don't see why your experience means the pay should be percentage-based. Why not a flat fee? Why not hourly? Or a base fee plus hourly? The advice the realtor gave you was obviously valuable - but it shouldn't vary if you were purchasing a $100k house or a $2MM house.
I think it was designed to make money: sell the actual software. RMS used to sell free copies of Emacs: for 100 bucks, you'd get Emacs, the source code, the documentation, and the necessary scripts to compile it. This was always part of the definition of free software, which open source inherited.

It's just that selling like this is more difficult now that there's a high-speed internet for everyone, but I think more people should be trying to sell this way. App stores are one example, if they didn't have those ridiculous GPL-incompatible restrictions, but Red Hat does outright just sell the software in a GPL-compatible way: you want access to their repos and nothing else, no support (I believe they call this self-service), they sell that too.

It might not make you rich, it might not hockey stick, but I think if more people just tried to sell free software, we'd see more people being able to comfortably make a living.
As someone who is only a consumer and not a creator, what benefits am I waiting on Patreon to grow in order to reap?
One thing I'm not seeing here is people giving freely simply because you created something they value. You will never become a billionaire through this mechanism but I suspect you can probably earn a decent living.

The problem with this mechanism is that now each project is out on their own to advertise their needs and get donations. I'm actually experimenting in this space with SeedAndDew (https://www.seedanddew.com). My hypothesis is that if you can give people the ability to set a specific amount to open source that automatically goes to the right places, more people will contribute. Just went full-time to see this through so early days but I'm optimistic.
When I sold my house, I agreed a fee that was a lower than normal % on his estimated worst case sales price and a 3x higher % of any amount above this.

End result was he worked really hard getting prospective purchasers bidding against one another. I ended up selling for 25% above my reserve price.

Sure, I paid a lot in fees. But since I was living 20,000km away at the time, it was totally worth it for the peace of mind achieving a good price.

I am still surprised that almost everyone goes with the standard fee scale, for what is the largest financial transaction in your life!
This is rather surprising to me, as they still don't correctly support all the native Mac keyboard editing commands which have been part of the OS (and every physical keyboard) since 10.0.

I really don't understand the priorities of the Mozilla/Firefox project.

Yes, there are bugs filed on the other keyboard issues -- some more than 10 year old, e.g., 433966 or 429043. I could probably fix them myself, with enough effort, but Mozilla has the weirdest architecture so all my Mac programming knowledge won't help much. The last time I filed a minor bug against Firefox (context menus appear in the wrong place by a couple pixels), it was tagged "[good first bug]" -- and it ended up taking some poor soul 7 months and 790 lines to fix, and I still don't think it's correct.

I think it's time for someone to out-Firefox Firefox. The free and open nature is great, but the UI is collapsing under its own weight.
Have they even said anything about the business model? I'm a few minutes behind on the stream, but I don't recall any mention of licenses or subscriptions. The only "practical" example of launching they game they showed was... out of a button on a YouTube video.

EDIT: A "Stadia store" was briefly mentioned shortly after my comment, it looked like it was tied into Google Play.
If all the players are in this service, it means lag is much easier to deal with for developers, since its only input lag. All the players actual compute/rendering would be on a very low latency network.

you no longer have to deal with all the other networking problems between the client software, and server software.
But not all customers need the new benefits and prefer Patreon for being quick, cheap and simple. It would actually be damaging to Patreon if they didn't grandfather and changed to a point they lost that audience.
Wow, good that you thought of getting it checked.

>Turns out cat bites can be very nasty - I since spoke to a nurse who told me she knew someone who lost a leg to a domestic cat bite.

Same is the case with leopard or other big cat bites, I've read. Used to read books by Jim Corbett (the famous hunter of man-eater tigers (and leopards)), and similar, as a kid; that may be where I read about it. I guess the reason is that the food (meat) they eat sticks some in their teeth and decomposes and grows bacteria, which infect people when they are bitten. In fact I read that even if the big cat does not kill the person, there are high chances of dying from infection from the bite.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jim_Corbett

Update: Just saw this from the link above, the story of how Corbett hunted and killed a very large tiger, the Bachelor of Powalgarh:

Sounds like you want a Steam Link.
>There was a Freakanomics podcast episode or book section (I don't remember) where they asserted that the data showed realtors left their own homes on the market longer, ultimately yielding a higher sale price, when compared to homes they were selling for their clients.

It was a bit more subtle than that.

Given a fixed percentage (let's take the 6%), if the agent sells today the house (valued 100,000-120,000 US$) he/she gets US$ 6,000 today.

If the 100,000 offer is refused the house stays on the market for - say - 3 months more, and eventually is sold at 110,000 US$) the agents gets only US$ 600 more (and three months later), but has to arrange many more visits, so the formula is incentivating "quick sales" and the agent has all the interest to counsel the seller to accept a "low offer".

The proposal by the freakanomics authors was to increase the percentage due to the agent on the sums exceeding the "base value" of the property, so that the convenience would be shifted to "sell the house at the highest reasonable price in a reasonable time".
Have you tried the Xbox One controller? Hands-down the most comfortable and most well-engineered controller I've ever used.
Transforming the backstory into math is the important skill that it's all about, and no, you can't assume that a student who knows how to manipulate numbers knows how to apply them.

I can see this in my students in my introductory class. You can ask them to calculate a concentration of a solution and they will reply just fine. But when you ask them to go into the lab and actually prepare a solution of a certain concentration you draw blanks in 9 cases out of 10. Students are trained in AP Chemistry to spot problems according to keywords and apply the appropiate formula, but they have never thought about the underlying meaning of the things they do, and they cannot connect different subjects to save their lives.

Hopefully this isn't a repeat Theranos
Rewrote this a few times. Overall I think this would be really bad for the gaming world. Not buying consoles would be nice, but the natural business model will be ads or pay per hour or pay per MB. This is going to further drive the industry to towards mass multiplayer and grindy games I think. More accessible but worse content.

Indie shops would probably struggle even more under this model.

The cost per user will vary drastically by the amount they play and how computationally demanding it is. I just don’t see it being feasible without personalized cost. Looking forward to paying minimum cost for minimum graphics too.
"Brah, I started, finished and WON many fitness competitions over 20 years. Doesn't matter if I try and fail. I will get better."
> But was it worth $12k for less than 40 hours of total work? I don't think so.

First, I agree that the fees charged are exorbitant. However, for many smaller realtors, they may not have much inventory at any given time. So, just like a freelance programmer, the buyer is paying for their work and for their downtime between jobs.

From what I understand, a bunch of the long lived charities put their donations in the bank and live off of the interest. You get more donations by pretending like the money is for your new program, but it's only indirectly so (more assets equals more operating capital).

If Mozilla didn't do that, their biggest opportunities for setting up and endowment are in the past and it won't go well for them in the future.
I don't think it was foolish. Its definitely going to be a challenge to identify fake videos in the near future
Yes, that's a common pattern. Experience has taught us that it's best to submit the highest-quality popular article on a topic and link to the original paper in the thread. If an article is too specialist-oriented it probably won't do well here regardless of how interesting it is. Papers on computing are an exception, because a significant subset of the audience here is able to read those.

It’s cool!

The team is largely volunteers, though several companies sponsor people as well. Some people who are sponsored are only part time, or only on the bits relevant to that company. Mozilla sponsors the most full-time people at the moment. We’re working on getting more full-time people, there are some challenges there.
If Patreon is providing a similar service to twitch or YouTube, then then 8% is pretty low. I have never used Patreon so I don’t know what their premium content platform is like. Is it mostly just like a blog that requires readers to be logged in?
Possibly ... not right now though. First I need it to be successful before I start worrying about those issues.

If someone were to do that now I would be amazed... honestly and would just want to work with them :)

The license is GPL and the backend infra might not be open. Trying to still figure that part out.

It depends on whether the community steps up and wants to keep it open.
They should also block sites that load data from more then 3 sources ... that would almost be the whole web... too bad mozilla doesnt have a large market share anymore...

Well, it obviously can (states having general police power and there being no federal right to non-remote work incorporated against the states that would bar such legislation), but it probably shouldn't.
Marketing to actual customers versus marketing to potential investors and acquirers are two different things, which I think explains the difference between the parent and grandparent comments.
