Renewable here are propped by subsidies even to get at the same price of nuclear-produced electricity, so I don't know how you get that.
I think if 30 states hadn't rejected it, the case probably would have had 2 of the 4 switching sides. It does point to the need for some changes to the federal anti-trust laws in the technology era.
> A solution to how ridiculous old laws are is automatically expire them. That way, the politicians are forced to reevaulate them.

What happens is you have mass renewal laws, which end up being de facto non-expiring laws with a veneer of expiration.

My argument sounds like “can’t work 100% so do nothing” but laws that are given sunset clauses because of their controvesiality (e.g. USA Patriot Act) are routinely renewed as their very existence seems to justify their continued existence, while the sunset clause had been added to mollify objectors.

The only entitlements that have any real budgetary impact are Social Security and Medicare/Medicaid.

The former will only result in crippling debt due to mismanagement of the funds.

The latter could (should?) be replaced with universal healthcare.

The rest of the budget is mostly defense spending and debt servicing.

Indeed.

I was recently reading "The Nurture Assumption" by Judith Rich Harris. Many parents believe they have a large influence on their children's personality (traits like confidence).

However, it seems like the influence of their peers vastly outweighs what parents do (outside of actual abuse, which is of course bad).

But he didn’t do that. He may very well have planned to do that, but he never did, and this was never a factor in the case against him, IIRC.
I've got pathos, I could be wrong but I think it was designed for mobile originally wasn't it and only based on nethack's rules not a port of the original?

I was referring more to roguelikes originally designed for keyboards and adapted to touch ui rather than ones designed around it from the beginning.

Just for a game with the complexity of nethack, that expects a full keyboard full of controls(with modifier keys), originally designed around a bare terminal, they found a particularly efficient and intuitive(for me at least) solution, especially compared to other ports i've played.

Interesting point, but I'm not quite sure it's the same. You could call out that other kid and beat them in a footrace and embarrass them in their fancy shoes. Or you could make fun of their whatever. I think online, you can't beat them in the footrace because they paid to win.
Hahaha. Just the two computers for me, plus maybe 1 tab open on my phone. Luckily, my phone isn't as addictive to me as it is for other people. I type at 120wpm and having to slow all the way down to 30wpm on a phone stabs me to my very soul.

Sorta-rape? Kinda-rape? Minor hooliganism? Did we all forget what the point of consent is, or something?

Or are we using the medieval definition, where it is a one-time-good-for-life sort of thing?

Yeah... seems legit.
But that's the whole point though. We're creating bs jobs to replace the bs jobs we automated. What's our goal as a society ? Shouldn't we think about working less, better spreading wealth, figuring out a plan so people don't have to work multiple jobs to barely survive ?

Right now almost everywhere in the world we're heading for longer work week and increased retirement age. So much for "automation will deliver us from work" we've heard over and over again for the last 60 years.

Compilers that allow type punning through a union have to basically consider the access to a member of the union to have an effect on any other member. It's conceivable that there are edge cases where that consideration could hamper the optimization of a code which uses unions without perpetrating any sort of type punning. Hmm, like what?

Say we have a really contrived function that works with two pointers A and B to the same union type. The compiler cannot prove that A and B are distinct. The function evaluates A->x = expr, and also B->y in several places. Since A and B might be the same pointer, the assignment has to be regarded as clobbering B->y, which interferes with CSE of B->y and register caching.

As of C99, a possible solution here would be to declare the pointers restrict; then the compiler assumes they don't overlap: A->x has nothing to do with B->y.

If a struct is used, then x and y are different members and have nothing to do with each other for that reason, needless to say, even if A and B are the same pointer.
Fortnite is exactly like that, not with the fonts but with the skins. The default skin is larger than many for-pay skins, so your view when fighting is obstructed by your own player taking up more space in your field of vision. (Because it's not a 1st person shooter, but a 3rd person shooter.)

This opens my eyes to why my son gifted his classmate a $10 skin from his own pocket money for no special occasion - there was clearly far more going on than I had realized.

>I'm trying to explain this stuff to my kids, but the simple truth is they are cognitively capable of getting hooked by this stuff years before they are cognitively capable of understanding the analysis, and then it's another few years of brain development after that when mere intellectual comprehension of what is being fired at them can be transformed into concrete actions to defend themselves.

Don't be too hasty to sell the young-uns short. Just the other day my 9yo was remarking about how addictive his youtube feed is and voluntarily declared that he just has to cut it off at some point in order to do things that he needs to do.

So there are 2 options:

1. Amazon changes the market(a huge challenge). it's now easier for manufacturers and other retailers to do e-commerce.

2. Amazon becomes the best in the world in packaging, and keeps the skill to itself. It's now harder to compete with Amazon.

Naturally Amazon prefers #2.
Hey HN, I made this because I often find myself spending longer on YouTube than I intended, forgetting what I came there for and winding up it rabbit holes of recommended videos.

This extension has helped me be more mindful and intentional in how I use YouTube and waste less time there. Ask away if you have any questions.
My parents told me stories of being bullied because their home made clothes had no tags on them (meaning not bought, although from pictures they looked impressively good on par with regular fashion IMO). I never experienced any sort of wealth based bullying or witnessed it occurring to anyone in my school days.

I can’t relate to what’s being discussed. I would be very confused if someone tried to attack me on the premise of not spending money for pointless visuals.

I've been modding phones via XDA forums since the Windows Mobile 6.1 days. It's much easier to brick your phone when flashing a ROM today than it was 5 years ago. OEMs today are much more zealous about locking down phones to prevent installing anything but factory ROMs.

That said, 279 EUR for a 2016 Galaxy S7 is steep; I'd need to know if the phone has a fresh battery before taking the plunge.

I went the other direction. I had no problem with being called lazy or calling myself lazy. It was a familiar and comforting crutch, like slipping into an old pair of sneakers. I only got B+ on the test? No worries. I could have gotten an A had I actually tried and wasn't so lazy. But, I couldn't be bothered, because I'm lazy.

The fact I may have an incurable mental illness (and that I could be branded as such) terrifies me.
As you can sort of infer from my post, the only thing preventing me from assuming that Epic did it on purpose is my assessment that the difficulty of manufacturing that from scratch, on purpose, is actually significantly higher than the difficulty of backing into it by accident. A lot of major "marketing discoveries" were clearly backed into by accident, as a result of marketers just throwing everything at the wall over time.

But even if it was an accident this time, it won't be next time.
That's also my view. The metagame of free to play games is to resist all the temptations to spend money on it. People who spend money on it have lost.
NUCLEAR PHYSICIST Hiroaki Koide has pointed out that although eight years have passed, there is still more than one million tons of irradiated water which still hasn’t been treated. The Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO)’s “handling” method for this situation was to build a thousand sewage tanks to store the sewage. But as space was limited and the number of sewage tanks was also limited. As such, Koide asserts, “TEPCO will be compelled to release these waters into the sea in the near future.” [1] Moreover, with regards to the core meltdown of the reactor, the melted fuel rods remain unaccounted for.

Those are subtly different things.

Griefing is purposefully doing things to ruin someone else's fun, such as blowing up their Minecraft house with explosives or killing them every time they enter a PvP area in WoW. Or quickly killing the enemy that someone needs to complete a quest, over and over before they can. It's not really personal. The "griefer" doesn't have a specific target in mind when they start their run. They just pick someone and do it.

Bullying is more personal. This is someone that has decided they're going to pick on a particular person for some reason. This might be someone they know, or it might be someone doing something they want to stop, like joining a team without knowing what they're doing. Bullying "defaults" is because they don't think the person will know what they're doing and they would rather a teammate that knows the game better. In other games, that might be by player rank/level, attack power, or other means instead of physical appearance.

These 2 things are kind of a hot button for me, obviously.

> No, it's highly specific, drawing from cases going back to the founding of the Republic.

No, it isn't.

Even if you do not consider the moderately modern exercise of official crimes laws, the few that were used are few. As what I know of their historicity, most of early work on that lines were about official crimes being an offshoot of treason/sabotage/sedition/subversion and such.

And if you start discussing their moderately modern exercise, then, well, as I stated above, the court record of abuse of office cases is of charges not reaching the court to begin with or being dropped.

> Statute isn't stronger than case law.

Statute is a clear writing in text saying "things A, B, and C are a crime." When it comes to that, case law is weaker because it is much more open to interpretation with it being a collection of opinions, interpretations, philosophising, from time to time bordering on "legal theology."

It is much weaker against official crimes in reality, when DAs can wiggle their way out of need to fill charges using numerous excuses provided by law's openness to interpretation

P.S. That Louisiana law that you pulled, well, is a Louisiana law, not federal.

I'm surprised FIFA never gets scrutinised in this was, it's an £80 game each year and to make any kind of impression you need to buy packs.

I watched my son once where he literally spent what I'd given him on packs, looked at what he'd "won" and sold them all instantly for in game currency. When I asked why he didn't use any of them he said they were no good. He then repeated the same process on the rest of the packs, keeping maybe 1 player.

It reminds me of the behaviour of people addicted to slot machines, literally pumping in coins, recycling their winnings until they have nothing left.

After the Battlefront 2 debacle, EA said they were abandoning loot boxes and wouldn't do pay to win any more. They appear to have avoided it with Battlefield V, but FIFA still stands as the Daddy when it comes to pay to win and it needs to be destroyed.
No, the point is that sprint times are judged by well-validated and understood instrumentation whose results are easily replicable. Conversely, the outcome of an orchestra audition is decided by human judges, and we know that humans are subject to conscious and unconscious biases that affect their ultimate decision.

We can easily measure the eventual decision of the audition, but the audition process itself is much more difficult to scrutinize, unlike your example of a sprint race. That's why your original challenge to compare this audition situation to a sprint race does not apply.

I think China realized their horizon is much longer then the term of office of Trump. They could even argue that for the short term (election is in 1.5 year ?) a trade war, resulting a worldwide economy slowdown, might hurt Trump personally more then China. A next president might be in office sooner (no re-election of Trump) and be easier to negotiate with.
Because the CIA is good at their job. He demonstrated himself to be an enemy of the US any exposing US government crimes, and the US didn’t want to bust into an embassy in London to assassinate him, so this is plan B.

"The plaintiffs purchased apps directly from Apple and therefore are direct purchas- ers under Illinois Brick. At this early pleadings stage of the litigation, we do not assess the merits of the plaintiffs’ antitrust claims against Apple, nor do we consider any other defenses Apple might have. We merely hold that the Illinois Brick direct-purchaser rule does not bar these plaintiffs from suing Apple under the antitrust laws."

> They _also_ got college degrees on top of that.

I honestly don't know how people can sit through so many classes that are nearly a complete waste of time. Potentially wasting up to four years of life. I tried, was really motivated in the beginning despite it, then slowly burnt out on classes I absolutely didn't need. I left for a job even though I only need a handful more classes.

Also, because I know it coming, not wanting to waste four years of life absolutely does not imply that anyone lacks "grit." I could refer to a dozen current and former coworkers who I am certain will say I don't lack it. Give me an interesting and hard problem to solve and I'll be on it until it is solved. If you don't have one then I don't want to work for you anyway.
