That's fair, and even "I" as a "partial supporter" think they need to tune down the marketing machine a bit.

It's a shame because they're really the only company doing what their doing (a fighting a chance at open source (as possible) and secure hardware)
Arguably, games like Fallout 4 have a huge world but it's not complex at all. It looks more realistic, but the storyline is simpler and far less memorable than Fallout 2.

I'd also argue the most complex games are something like Dwarf Fortress or Ultima Ratio Regum. Both of which were made by 1-2 people.

The way of writing "use cases" for dwarf fortress is also a lot of fun and probably doesn't scale up with a large insustrial team: http://www.bay12games.com/dwarves/dev_story.html

There are games like Rimworld which try to imitate DF's charm, but go further with a team, professionalism, and better funding. But while it's more polished and "balanced", it doesn't come to the same level of craftsmanship. You also don't get the same goofiness as a necromancer who slices off your finger, animates it, then pokes you in the eye with your undead finger.
Disclosure: I deeply loathe Trump, and I think he is unfit for office; very glad to see Mueller investigation initiated, because there was a lot of smoke and it needed to happen.

But the author is very correct.

A 'free press' is the 5th estate - an important part of civil society.

... but it only works if they have integrity.

Over the last two years it has become clear how narrow and biased they have become in their contempt for Trump and of course in search of 'more clicks'.

This is a deep wound for America that I do not think we can blame on Trump himself, however much some of us may loathe him.

Trump is a Loki who exposed a serious degradation in another part of the system and it has to remedied.

Sadly, I do not think they will admit their failures, and they will not reform, and as a result, we're going to be having wars over 'fake news' for a long time.

Post-Edit: I don't want this to take away from critiquing Trump for some of the awful things that he's said, or some of his questionable policies - my only point is 'the press broke' on this, and it's a legitimate concern. If the press lacks integrity, we lose the ability to hold people to account.
I think that is good advice but it’s not a great fit for R packages due to the requirements that CRAN has for package submission. I’ve wrapped up my recommended practices in usethis::use_mit_license().
It started life as a style called internationalist. It is brought to you by the same people that champion open plan offices. They are cheaper to build than traditional style buildings, by an order of magnitude. But critically allow for maximising flexible floor space for optimum returns.

Architects don't really have much power in the design of these kind of buildings beyond window dressing.

Edit. Also, refer to the author's blog for what happens when contemporary architects try to do traditional buildings. The fact is, each historical style of building existed in a larger process of building craft and materials and use. Without this process, the architecture becomes mere pastiche, stuck on, and shoehorned in. Frankensteined architecture.
Yes, some advice from my own experiences, don't do it, pick something and focus. You can always come back to an idea if the one you chose bombs. Being distracted means your full focus isn't making one thing excellent, and so you will continually be behind, or fail to meet the goals quick enough. Also, in the end, you will burn yourself out on all the ideas and be bummed.

I tried this before, with only 3 ideas and that was 2 too many. Sadly I ignored a mentor who told me to focus on one, and he even told me which one, and while I put more effort there, I missed a huge opportunity to get his and some other influencers support because I was distracted trying to do too much. In the end, I mostly was successful on the one idea, but it could've been far more than what I did had I listened and focused. And the other 2 ideas went almost no where except to distract me, take my money and worse my time . I was an idiot, don't be me.

Also, I want to preface this with, you can invest in multiple projects but you cannot successfully start multiple companies at once with great success. Are there exceptions to the rule, yes, but one note, they generally start with decent personal or family wealth and can hire people to focus immediately. Are you an exception? I dunno, but my guess with all respect is no, I am not either.

Pick the idea that you feel most connected too and that has opportunity there and focus and shelve the others (for now). If it doesn't work out go back and reevaluate, that would be my advice.
Fantastic tooling, potential to live in the same language for cljs front-end/clojure backend, less code means less bugs than JS, shorter time to implement, higher productivity from smaller teams, stable core, lots of development on great libs, immutability/persistent data structures/strong concurrency patterns get you out of the tar pit, low friction to interop with JS, cljs loves npm via shadow-cljs.

Easier to list the case against. The case against is it has a steeper learning curve and it's harder to hire for.
STORY:"The Day I got my first blow job and possible STD"
To clarify, are you saying you've met people who have been successful at Olympiads and the Putnam who fail out of grad school because they can't learn LaTex?
they have been quietly hiring a lot of experts in differential privacy. there are various schemes for doing machine learning on populations while hiding information about individuals. it seems likely that this is part of their strategy.
This isn't specifically a Chinese thing, when I played (in Europe) this mechanic was a thing.
Funny that you say that, because in my opinion Poland lacks the true right wing party. All major parties are left wing, with their economical programs being slight variations of socialists wealth redistribution, and government regulation of pretty much every domain of life. PiS might pretend to be patriotic and conservative but they are following Marx teaching more than God ones in many areas.
I am definitely not saying that it’s impossible to lose money renting. But if you can’t charge enough rent to cover your costs, then eventually you sell and go buy a unit somewhere else that is profitable, or stop renting entirely, or declare bankruptcy, or....

This puts downward pressure on real estate prices in areas which are unprofitable by increasing inventory and decreasing investor demand for rental property.

Market equilibrium will tend to drive prices to the point where units can be profitably rented, and rent will be higher in areas that are depreciating rather than appreciating. This is not a law in the sense of a inviolable law of physics, but I believe it is generally accepted macroeconomic theory.
Estimating the $ of a Security Incident

Read an interesting anecdote on amyloids in Why We Sleep. During a certain sleep phase, the brain tissues change size and open up pathways for cerebrospinal fluid to pass this. This washes out amyloids.

Over time with age and with brain damage, older adults lose the ability to generate this type of sleep, and so there is less cleaning.

Does anyone know any more about this? It seems plausible that the cause could be partly due to a loss of this sleep cleaning function. Indeed lack of sleep is correlated with alzheimers.

But that's just a book anecdote. I'd be curious to read more.
The houses she lambaste are almost exclusively upper-middle class and high-class houses. I think she is railing against lazy/incompetent architects more than the owners of the properties.
You can tie the loose ends together. No matter what the final report has the Stone indictment is incredibly damning with regard to his communication with Wikileaks in addition to the Trump tower meeting.

> The cynic in me says it's because many of them are cheap generics that have little financial upside for large pharmaceuticals.

Social impact bonds are an interesting idea that might help solve this, although I know little about the practicalities. Specifically, a company would pay for the research and trials, and if it's effective, the government (say, the NHS in the UK) would pay a portion of the money saved to the company.
This is...utterly delusional, and totally disconnected from the evidence on record.

The President's campaign manager, deputy campaign manager, personal lawyer and National Security Advisor have either pled guilty or been convicted of felonies. Despite denying any contacts with Russia, we now know he'd been offered a deal to build the biggest tower in Europe, a payout worth $300 million, during the campaign. During the transition, his son-in-law met with the Russian ambassador and asked to use the Russian government's communication system to evade scrutiny by the American intelligence community. During sentencing, a federal judge told the President's former NSA that "arguably, you sold out your country".

On what earth does Taibbi live?

I grant that perhaps the media built up the Mueller report to a point that no actual product could satisfy. But what we know is so outrageous that it's quite strange to conclude that the people doing the irresponsible misleading are the news media. This is such a strange, bizarre, consequential, unprecedented story cloaked in classified details that it's pretty odd to expect a media to do a great job of contemporaneously reporting on it.

I used to have a lot of respect for Taibbi, and I suppose I still do, but this is deranged on his part.

I assume a key problem with that is that when there is a disagreement that can only be well resolved through talking things out, they just don't know how to do it. So instead it is suppressed and everyone just pretends there is no disagreement.
Am not surprised to see Damien Woods. Few years ago I got to see Nicolas Schabanel on a talk about dna tiles as computing block, a long time partner of Woods IIRC. Fascinating subject since they went up to Game of Life and had a form of compiler for it. The only issue was stability with large "programs" which impeded more abstract stuff (say lambda calculus). Ultra exciting stuff and ultra concerning too.

btw Schabanel university math group (Paris Diderot IREM) just made a peertube instance to host videos

Not to mention that you can't be indicted for colluding, even if you give evidence and admit to collusion.
Your quote is a straw man, but what does it matter if jealousy is involved or not? You can disregard any animosity stemming from social injustices with that logic. Women are just straight up jealous because men are paid more. Blacks are just straight up jealous because whites have longer life expectancy. LGBTs are just straight up jealous because straight cis people don’t have to conceal a central part of who they are.
>For years, every pundit and Democratic pol in Washington hyped every new Russia headline like the Watergate break-in. Now, even Nancy Pelosi has said impeachment is out, unless something “so compelling and overwhelming and bipartisan” against Trump is uncovered it would be worth their political trouble to prosecut

Genuinely confused - is it not worse than Watergate? At least Watergate was done by Americans.

The Mueller investigation confirmed the source of the hacks and the propanda effort in nauseating detail that was denied and dismissed during the campaign.
If home prices were perfectly stable, adjusted for inflation, they could still be a good “investment” in the sense that rents would be much higher, for the tax benefits, due to artificially low mortgage rates, or as a vehicle for forced savings.

I do wonder if the average family could afford to own a home, even at 3.5% interest, if it’s value did not appreciate. And I wonder if the rent had to cover the entire investment return for landlords, what would that do to average rental rates?
That would be just momentary money throughput, there would be zero long tail accumulation. Redistributing sports is a "now" business without any story about why tomorrow will be golden to tell investors. If you lose money today streaming sports you will lose money tomorrow, because there is no way to assume that right holders will ever agree to better conditions. Every growth you may have will just be absorbed by them. It might still be a path for a bootstrapping streamer, but for an investment heavyweight like Netflix it would just dilute growth potential.
I agree with the post, but firefighters in the Bay Area are probably not the best example. There are many millionaire, early retired FF in California. Some in my old neighborhood that I knew personally even that were much wealthier than I am as a SE (I have since relocated to the southeast). Compensation is quite high, especially when considering total pay, often 250k+ and as high as 500k+ is possible.

Non-American here. Why are cable and satellite under 2 different categories? Aren’t they the same providers, offering the same services? For example in Australia we have Foxtel, depending on where you live you will get connected to the service either by cable or with a satellite dish, so it wouldn’t make sense to put satellite and cable into different categories. Maybe in the US it’s a different situation?
The world's watersheds, mapped in detail
I'm so glad 3d touch isn't on every device. It's such a bad technology. Touching should be simple and understandable. 3D touch just feels like random events are happening for no reason. Between long press, tap, and drag there is already plenty of complexity there. 3D touch takes it too far.

But because Apple didn't standardize on it, it will hopefully never get wide adoption.

That said, I'd it does eventually seep into Apple's low end, that will just make it easier for the company that takes a usability-first approach to designing a mobile OS, when they come to eat Apple's lunch.

I think that's a huge opportunity for whoever builds up enough gumption to think a new mobile OS startup is worth trying.
Very interesting article about how music has to adapt for mediums like video games, where the player input impacts sequencing and pacing.

That said, I think classifying this as "secret manipulation" is clickbaity on the part of the poster. The fact that the music influences the player isn't really a secret, any more than the fact that the visuals / controls influence the player.
This is an incredibly backwards hot take.

The media has made many mistakes and continues to do so. But in the opposite direction.

In addition to the extraordinary number of people already indicted as part of the Special Counsel’s work, there is already ample documented public evidence of “russiagate.” Marcy Wheeler, the best reporter on this story, says “We know of at least five conversations at which various people entered into what I describe as a quid pro quo conspiracy.” 1

Russia and the Trump Campaign worked together to elect Trump as part of a quid pro quo conspiracy.

The media’s error was in anointing Mueller and his report as the savior and sword that would slay our villainous leader. The media has failed to convey reality to the public: in addition to crimes related to Russia, the president and his family have been shown to be awash in many, many kinds of crimes.

He cheated the non-profit system, lied about assets to secure loans, defrauded participants in his “university,” confessed on tape to a pattern of sexual assault corroborated by multiple credible first person accounts, committed tax fraud, helped his parents commit tax fraud, committed campaign finance violations, skirted White House anti-nepotism and ethics rules, publicly threatened witnesses, and has done many other things that are obviously disqualifying.

The failure of the press to convey the extent of Trump’s prolific criminal behavior before and after the 2016 election is this generation’s War in Iraq coverage.

You need only google the phrase "eye contact hard" to discover that what you say is not universally true.

But I think you're tapping into something deeper, something I was going to respond to in my original comment, but thought better of it because you [edit: they] hadn't actually made the argument at that point. Now you've flirted much more closely with it, so I will say it:

There is a modern suspicion of the entire concept of teaching men how to raise their sexual value. There is a sense that it involves "faking it" somehow, or that it represents an unhealthy obsession, or means the man is only interested in sex. But it's this taboo which permits the distasteful 'PUA' community to flourish - it pushes the practice of self-conscious improvement to the fringes, where taboos are disregarded. It's a dangerous state of affairs when a man's best hope at improving their lot is toxic misogyny. Far better if there's easy access to good, practical advice that works, alongside a healthy worldview.

It's notable that the taboo is only for men - we don't assume a woman "probably just wants to have sex", just because she puts on lipstick (the purpose of which is to simulate attraction!)

(It would be interesting to further explore the sexual politics behind this taboo, and why the corresponding one for women is so much weaker, despite male noises about "preferring girls who don't wear makeup", and in particular how such taboos are powerful weapons in the 'battle of the sexes' that improve the ability to distinguish fitness levels in the opposite sex - but it's a fairly hot can of worms that I'd rather just allude to than attempt to untangle here.)

I used to reconcile our purchases against our online checking account every night, but the issue with tips happened when I would do that but then a few weeks later I would go through and actually balance everything out and suddenly I'd be off by a dollar and change and have to go on a deep dive to find out where I went wrong.
I think the strategy is to make airplay 2 available on any smart tv or device that they can.

Then, the streaming service will be available to anyone with any apple device: any iphone, ipad, mac.

A large chunk of people have at least one idevice or mac in a household. For instance, many android users have ipads.

All of these can get the service, and all will be able to put it on a screen with airplay 2.

Don't know if it will compensate, but that appears to be the strategy for the dilemma you're describing. I think they may also make their exclusive content available on any apple hardware.
There are a bunch of plausible theories that ethologists have come up with for evolution of homosexuality. This is one of them - and it does show up in other experiments, e.g. with rats: if you make their population denser, a higher proportion exhibits same-sex behavior.

But it's not the only one. Another is that species that employ K strategy (low reproduction rates, high investment into offspring to ensure its survival) and that are social, gradually develop some kind of social safety net mechanisms for offspring, in cases where e.g. the parent dies or is sick and unable to provide proper care. One way to do that is to have some proportion of the population that does not breed on their own, thus ensuring that they are always available to rear others' offspring. Since evolution generally takes the path of least resistance, it's easier to achieve this by redirecting sexual drive than by switching it off entirely. And this can even make sense from a "selfish gene" perspective of one individual, because if you help enough of your close relatives (who share many genes with you) keep their kids alive, it may actually be more effective than betting on a few children of your own surviving to carry more shared genes.

(If this theory is right, that has interesting implications for all those laws restricting adoption by same-sex parents...)

I wouldn't be surprised if this was a scam, but I'm not convinced.

If anything, he deserves my help just for being so thorough.

These sound like fascinating experiments to ethically learn about the limits of the human body.

One of my favorite parts was this:

"Another experiment, conducted in a ferry off the coast of Nova Scotia, tested the subjects’ reactions to the choppy seas. While the test subjects played cards and enjoyed one another's company, the researchers themselves were so overcome with sea sickness that the experiment had to be canceled."
Hales didn't resolve the 4 colors theorem, Gonthier did that. Hales proved the Kepler Conjecture and afterwards facilitated its formal verification via the Flyspeck project.
One of the biggest advantages of ClojureScript (except for all the advantages of using Clojure that you also get with ClojureScript) is the language's stability. Almost all features and enhancements are done in the form of libraries, so the language you are using today is pretty much the same language you were using last year and the year before that.

I think that stability is a big advantage, depending on what type of client side applications you are building. I know of several consulting companies that are using ClojureScript for their client side work, and they can basically just continue building apps without having to re-architect their underlying framework every year. That can have a big effect on the cost of development.

I also highly recommend that any ClojureScript development is done using shadow-cljs, and that allows very convenient integration with npm modules.
