Very cool idea!!! You can basically play ANYTHING with this. The only feature missing that each player should be able to look their cards only in a way that others can't see it.

Edit: Oh wow, it's not missing! If you put the card in top of the player icon, only that player can reveal it, nice!!
Sure, but if you need to excavate twice the station length for trains twice as long it does cost more, probably by a factor of around two. So comparing Vancouver Skytrain to Copenhagen Metro is slightly misleading.
Those German worker rights, and strong ties between companies and unions were supposedly among the reasons why Walmart failed in Germany:

“They didn’t understand that in Germany, companies and unions are closely connected,” Mr. Poschmann said. “Bentonville didn’t want to have anything to do with unions. They thought we were communists.” [0]

It is not a metaphor. It is an analogy. It was used as comparison to the living room.

It could be done that server doesn't send the information what card it is until absolutely necessary, so you could not do that.
This article comes at a perfect time. As I want to work on my writing skills. I’ve found many recommendations in this thread on how to improve your skills but nothing focusing on technical writing.

Any recommendations for materials specifically for developers?
At e.g. 2.3% yearly growth in energy usage, humanity would use the sun's entire output in roughly 1400 years time and the entire galaxy's energy output in about 2400 years.[1]

I'm all for space exploration and colonization, but I'm sceptical it can solve the growth problem. I mean, what happens on Earth?

Nothing. Everybody freely has copied PageRank already. It has became one of the basic teaching material in graph theory.

For example, NetworkX, a popular graph library in Python, implements PageRank. [1]

I am no theoretical physicists, but from my understanding we can't figure out how to link/relate gravity to the electromagnetic forces which can be explained quantum mechanically. If you could that would allow for a unified theory of gravity and the quantum world. That would be huge news.

> Why would you have to work at least 40 hours a week?

Because if you work less than that then the employee does not generate enough revenue to pay for the overhead cost of benefits.

> There is such a thing as a part-time employee In fact most low-rung jobs try to keep employees under full-time to avoid the extra benefits that FTEs qualify for.

If that's the case with Uber drivers then they don't get benefits either. And on top of that, the company will probably have to cap drivers' hours in order to keep them from qualifying for benefits.

> Or, put it another way, if Uber required its drivers to work 40 hours a week and this resulted in unhappy drivers, what makes you think anyone would want to drive for Uber in the first place?

They wouldn't. That's my point. If this legislation goes into effect, then driving for Uber will not be a viable employment option for many current drivers because of the loss of work flexibility.

Long time ago I jammed headphones minijack into USB-A of tower case computer - you know, one with ports so low just above the floor. There was a spark and the computer powered off instantly. Thanks goodness it powered on fine and the USB port was still working fine. To this day I hate audio ports next to USB-A in some laptops.

I believe the differences here for London are:

- Much milder winter temperatures. Certainly nothing like the -10F experienced in Indiana.

- Lower daily mileages. Even though London buses are operated intensively all day long, average speeds are low and a typical bus certainly wouldn’t exceed 200 miles in a day. There is plenty of buffer between what is demanded of the batteries and what they’re capable of.

Majority of land owners over the course of history had come to the conclusion that serfdom and slavery is beneficial to positive returns on landholding.

Back in the day, I began my career in programming intending to be a game developer. Coming from a family of addicts I noticed even in the late 1980s that games and chat-style apps could be powerfully addictive. (This awareness kept me off Twitter, Facebook, and so on.)

I moved into compiler work and line of business apps, which surprisingly I find just as enjoyable. I never really regretted avoiding games because there are enough things to get me in trouble already.
It should be possible to use fixed point math for a fractal. That should fit in the GPU well.

Obviously for more zoom, you're still going to need more bits (and therefore different codepaths for different zoom levels).

Fancy approximations can probably be done to look at computation results from neighbouring pixels too. The number of bits to store the difference from an intermediate pixel is far smaller.
You can only increase efficiency so far. I do agree that a reduction in population would result in lower resource usage, but that's an economic slowdown, i.e. the opposite of growth.
I've identified some in other comments. The New York Times is overall still a reputable and rigorous publication, and I read it regularly.

Are you seriously comparing gig workers to slavery? This is just beyond absurd, and it makes me dubious as to whether you're participating in this conversation in good faith.

On the off chance that you're not trolling, contractors - unlike slaves - have the freedom to choose what work they'll do. Drivers for Uber often also drive for Lyft when it pays better. There's nothing stopping them leaving if their opinion is that the pay is not worth the work. By comparison, slaves are not free and are forced to do whatever work their masters tell them to.
Broken mini USB connectors are a pet peeve of mine. I literaly threw away my last three phones for the single reason the mini USB port wouldn't hold on to any cable anymore.

This doesn't bother most other people, but I like to use my phone for longer than 2-3 years. I really don't see the point in buying a marginally faster phone every other year. It's wasteful for the environment and costs a lot of money.
But standing in a public square doesn't tell anybody your name or anything else personal about you except for how you look because people usually don't walk around in public with name-tags, thus even in a public square, you will be reasonably anonymous.

At least that's the German interpretation, afaik in the US, it's interpreted a bit differently where everything "in the public" has no reasonable expectation of being "private"?
According to the IPCC report we don’t have hundred years.
The only feature I want back is full app sync with a computer, like it used to be some years ago (both transferring from the iOS device to the computer and back from the computer to the iOS device). This was removed when app thinning was introduced, and partially retained in the iTunes version for enterprise.

This saves bandwidth when managing multiple devices, makes setting up a new device a whole lot faster (than waiting for apps to download), offers control on the app versions and also helps in cases when some developer removes an app from the store because they want customers to buy another app or a differently named one.
On the other hand nobody is going to die because society decided it no longer needed Gucci. There is a strong argument we would be better off without them.
I'm coming to the view that gig workers are neither employees nor independent contractors. Employees don't get to unilaterally set their own hours, and contractors don't get prices unilaterally dictated to them or barred from their profession if their rating falls too low.

All this regulatory squabbling is arguing over whether a square peg fits a round hole or fits a triangular hole.

We need a third classification for gig workers that affords them some protections while preserving the economic viability of ridesharing companies. Disregarding any problems we might have with specific companies, I think ridesharing companies are a benefit to consumers.
Aside from the practicality of expanding fast enough (Dyson sphere around the sun in about 1400 years, needing to leave the galaxy in 2400 years), how far can you feasibly bring resources back to earth from to fuel that growth here? If you can't do that at some point, you have to stop growing locally even if the species is expanding. And besides, without FTL travel we're not going to be colonizing anything, just spreading seeds of new societies and, eventually, species that happen to be our offspring.
> I met a Uber driver the other day who drives 5000 miles per month. Clearly that is close to exploitation.

Averaging 30 miles an hour, that's 166 hours a month.
I truly hope micro-USB wasn't created to avoid that confusion.

For one, the number of people that even knew about the issue with mini-USB was barely none.

And the massive confusion micro-USB has contributed to is just unimaginable.
> She tries to create her own clothes brand

She did so without doing any research into how hard it is and without any kind of business sense. I really can’t feel bad for someone like that. I would understand if research was done and it still failed, but this girl literally wanted to post a picture and expected everyone to hand her money on a platter. Sorry, the world doesn’t work like that.

It is however a nice wake-up call for her and people alike - selling clothes (and making a viable profit on them) is not easy. Some of my friends are into this and it breaks my heart seeing them pour insane amounts of time & expenses into it without even realising that after all the expenses are accounted for their net profits are less than minimum wage.
Yes, at the time. In October, that regulation was replaced by Regulation (EU) 2018/1725, which adapted it to the principles of the GDPR. So essentially you had a gap of a few months, during which that event occurred.
One way technology can really decrease consumption is by turning humans to machines. If you are essentially a CPU, your energy consumption would likely be very low yet your computational power and lifespan could be much higher. This way earth could support a much higher quantity of "humans", being mostly electric, it could even leave the confinements of earth, this way freeing earth.

The only challenge left is to maintain cognitive growth drives when you're based on electricity, rather than hormones among other chemicals.
person, the question actually is which matrix that is
Because if you work less than that then the employee does not generate enough revenue to pay for the overhead cost of benefits.

That's not how things work at a low wage job. Beyond a threshold (around 30 hours) employers are hit with extra mandates (e.g. health insurance).

If that's the case with Uber drivers then they don't get benefits either. And on top of that, the company will probably have to cap drivers' hours in order to keep them from qualifying for benefits.

That's not true either. Being classed as an employee will mean that the drivers qualify for unemployment insurance, that Uber will pay half of some of the taxes typically levied on wages, oh and having W2 wages will qualify you for a tax-advantaged IRA (retirement account). There are some other perks as well depending on the locality. Being an employee versus contractor comes with a number of benefits that aren't health insurance.
That could kick the can down the road a bit, yes.
More about single mothers, lack of oversight/parenting because she's struggling to put food on the table.
>> This seems like political posturing that's going to hurt the majority of employees if it passes.

That reminds me of the posturing when they passed those child labor laws. And what did we get? A bunch of unemployed children.
It’s unfortunate that, under this proposal, one may end up splitting an application into multiple iframes to get “enough” budget (or, somewhat more nasty, an embedded iframe could decide to add a second internal iframe).

I could imagine an <iframe allow-slow-performance-shares=33%>, and leaving the iframe to figure out how to subdivide this among itself and its children. (And something similar for the main document.)

Deploying this will be hard, since the slowest devices also tend to run outdated browsers (and thus won’t enforce limits anytime soon.)
If somebody follows you even in public space all the time then in most countries it is considered stalking and penalized.

Reality was a bit different from what you describe. Firefox was a thing. Its market share was rising slowly but steadily. Google paid leading Firefox engineers such as Ben Goodger and Darin Fisher. It could have doubled down, improved Firefox's performance, marketed it aggressively, and then your narrative would make sense. Instead they pulled the engineers to create Chrome. There was no need at all for that except that Google wanted more direct control over the Internet which the nonprofit Mozilla Foundation ultimately wouldn't give them.

This world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children. The cost of one modern heavy bomber is this: a modern brick school in more than 30 cities. It is two electric power plants, each serving a town of 60,000 population. It is two fine, fully equipped hospitals. It is some fifty miles of concrete pavement. We pay for a single fighter with a half-million bushels of wheat. We pay for a single destroyer with new homes that could have housed more than 8,000 people. . . . This is not a way of life at all, in any true sense. Under the cloud of threatening war, it is humanity hanging from a cross of iron."

Yes, there are more use cases I didn't knew of at the time. For example, optimizing revenue by calculating the optimal routing strategy for outbound calls. But data analysis wasn't a prority. Nor was scaling storage or computations.

I know this is circumstantial, but on average there were 2 developers. The company needed something to just get the bills out. It also needed to be correct, stable, easily expandable for new datasets (requiring all kinds of conversions), testable from unit to e2e, integrate with other APIs to retrieve metadata, and .. I forgot a few, probably.

I realize that not everyone understands how patents work but this is ridiculous. The patent claims don't mention matrices. Any implementation (like matrices) is merely an embodiment (you can implement the patent without matrices).

And even if that weren't true, the foundation of the patent system is applying existing techniques to new applications. The background section of the patent clearly details how this technique has been used in other applications.

I don't dispute that a lot of patents are trash but this is possibly the most important patent of the last 30 years. That doesn't mean it invented computers, mathematics and the internet, it just put some already good ideas together. That is what invention is.

https://data.oecd.org/chart/5A9X is the harmonized unemployment rate for Germany and the USA, which they define as:

"Harmonised unemployment rates define the unemployed as people of working age who are without work, are available for work, and have taken specific steps to find work. The uniform application of this definition results in estimates of unemployment rates that are more internationally comparable than estimates based on national definitions of unemployment. This indicator is measured in numbers of unemployed people as a percentage of the labour force and it is seasonally adjusted. The labour force is defined as the total number of unemployed people plus those in civilian employment." (https://data.oecd.org/unemp/harmonised-unemployment-rate-hur...)
