Most indies pay close attention to the level design, even if leaning on procedural generation to get part of the way there. I am part of a 2-person team building an indie racing/puzzle game. I am the "tools" guy and my teammate is the "level design" guy, and I provide the building blocks and the generative machinery, and he massages them into an intentional and balanced experience.

Procedural level generation is only viable in production for games if a professional level designer can step in and tweak it.
This was our preferred snack on our road trip through Iceland in deep winter. This fish fills you very quickly, doesn't produce the "heavy" feeling in your stomach when snacking on a road trip, and tastes amazing. I was surprised how expensive it was (even for Iceland) but looking at the way they prepare it the price seems justified.
This and thermal pools are the things I miss the most about Iceland.

Maybe, but it's also one of the most common non-punished crimes in the USA.

First off, congrats! I think self driving trucks have a lot of promise and would really change the American economy.

I'm curious as to the ways that the self driving problems in trucks might be different to the problems of self driving cars. For example, with heavy trucks, your braking distance must be a lot larger than a normal car. So things like following distance must be different. Also having to worry about skidding and the direction the trailer might move.

Also, I imagine that you have to be pretty careful about cars cutting you off. It seems to happen all the time on the road, and is more dangerous than people give it credit for.
That seems quite reasonable.

For companies, I've been encouraging companies for the last several years to start formal open source programs to build a proper open source strategy: https://todogroup.org/guides/create-program/

From that, comes hiring maintainers and contributing to open source projects, fiscally or hiring maintainers.

Second, there are plenty of accelerators like YC itself that can help maintainers start a company around their project.
This is probably the result of poorly labeled training data.

I always get labeled as a dick. It might be because I look like I a mushroom, since I'm just a fun guy.

Quick edit since I just wrote a dumb joke: This actually looks insanely fun and is something I would share with non-tech people if it was hosted somewhere one day.
I'm not in the slightest surprised. Assange pissed off a lot of high level political/power figures in the US by exposing them.

Remember in 2016 when Clinton was accused of getting leaked debate questions? Personally I expected that to be the end of her run. At the very least for everyone to say "wow, she actually did that. A candidate should never be able to do that". Instead, assange was the bad guy. People who believed it were nutjobs. Bernie and trump were the "real" bad guys. No accountability - they just misdirected and anyone in Clinton's camp or even the anti trump camp said "well so?"

So im not surprised now that people are being led to this propaganda like sheep. Our populace has disgraced any sense of intelligence it may have had. We really cant look at our average citizen and think anything positive about their critical thinking.

Edit: Downvote if you can't provide any logical counter to what I've said. Nothing up there is untrue, but there are a lot of butt hurt Clinton fans still lingering I'll say.

I find foods like this interesting because it goes against my instincts of what's safe to eat. Same with most things cured, fermented, etc.

I am only including truckers dying from trucking accidents which seems like a direct occupational hazard. They both die from other things on and off the job.

The white fish (code/haddock) version of this is really nice. It's like a fishy version of Biltong only all of the flavour is natural. I didn't like the darker one (which is pictured in the article).

Because "communism" is both an economic and a political ideology, while "capitalism" is only an economic one.

And before the nitpicking starts, I'm well aware that monied interests can influence democratic politics. That does not make an economic system a political system. It would be like calling democracy an economic system.
Nobody said it was an easy conflict to fight for the UK. But Argentina was also ill prepared. They should have waited a few months till they received a whole batch of Exocets, which was already bought and in production. With many Exocets, they could have launched a saturation attack which would have caused serious damage to the British fleet.

Furthermore, waiting would have meant the islands would have entered Antartic winter shortly after invasion, giving them many months to dig in and prepare for UK Task Force landings.
> If there was a legal method which worked as well as the illegal one (including quantity and offline capabilities) and cost the same as the VPN / seedbox, I doubt most would stay with the illegal content.

And I felt I repeated myself too much in my comment. The thing is the illegal market ONLY has to pay for the delivery methods, without any expectation of profit margin, or paying for bandwidth, but I'm okay ignoring that considering that the delivery methods is a tiny fraction in the cost of production.

> Netflix worked to reduce piracy because you felt they had everything.

At each price increase to keep being able to support such a big selection, there just so many people saying they would go back to illegal downloads...

Again, the argument is VALID the thing is, the cost is about DELIVERY methods, not about FULL PRODUCTION. Theses peoples don't care about that. They want the best deal.
Economists would argue the jobs go to where they are more efficiently done. The trouble is, "efficient" means pushing negative externalities onto someone else e.g. pollution, lax labor laws, forced labor. All of them condoned and sometimes actively encourage by the ruling regime. Then again, being forced to work in a sweatshop and having a minimum amount of food is better than not working and starving.

You get my point...
There are tradeoffs either way. For popular modules it might already be in your browser cache if another app used the module recently. Plus being a CDN it's probably being served by a machine closer to the user. And if your whole site is running of a CDN then you're relying on a 3rd party anyway.

Apple II->III? Mac->Copland? Mac->Taligent? Apple IIgs->Mac? HyperCard->(nothing)? Carbon 32b->64b (as originally promised)? FCP 7->X? iMovie HD->08? iWork '09->2013? Mac Pro 2012->2013->2019?

It depends on your definition of "botched", but I can think of lots of examples of cases where Apple either gave up, or essentially reverted their changes, in the face of public outcry or technical hurdles.

I wouldn't really call the IIe card a "transition strategy", either, any more than Mac86 was. It was a kluge to add another entire computer as an add-on card. It didn't help move your programs or data at all. It also only emulated a IIe (8 years old at that point), not a IIgs (only 5 years old). It was only a 'transition' for the absolute penny-pinching-est buyers, i.e., education.
if you could make money doing the same thing would you do it?
IANAL, but I took a commerical law class in college. I feel like I remember there being a doctrine that if there's a written contract, agreements outside of the contract don't matter. (Which is not to say that verbal contracts aren't real contracts, but that if there's also a written contract, they overrule any unwritten agreements.)
Key thing: Unenforceable clauses aren't enforceable.
>For example, it is incredibly debatable that raising the minimum wage would improve the livelihood of low income workers, as those workers could end up trading underemployment for unemployment.

Or that's an old wives tale, and the market will adjust and keep them employed (like tons of countries with minimum wage AND low unemployment), while most low-end job sector bosses will never willingly pay more than the minimum it can get away with.

The same way that if bosses could have child labor or slave labor or company scrip, tons of them would use it (as tons of them did use it, when the law allowed it).

Maneuvering a truck in an urban area looks really hard for a by-stander. The proposition here is to do it with remote control, that sounds even harder. On second thought, it might be an easily solvable problem with the proper sensors and UI.
The problem was more that the only ships with Sea Wolf - which was the only thing we had at the time that COULD have taken out the exocets - were guarding the carrier group during the loss of Sheffield.

AFTER the loss of sheffield, the policy was changed such that each class 42 was escorted by a class 22 (with sea wolfs).

The Argentian navy did hit Glamorgan with an exocet after that, but Glamorgan wasn't anywhere near anything with Sea Wolf defenses at the time.

The 'friendly' aspect is likely apocryphal, and possibly based on the fact that the Glamorgan and Antrim were both exocet missile destroyers themselves, and might thus have had issues with targetting a missile of the same type. But since neither of them had any point-defence systems it was moot.

edit: or it may be from the fact that Broadsword's sea wolf system 'locked up' during the sinking of Coventry, and was unable to attack the inbound A4s that bombed Coventry. But from what I can see, the prevailing belief was that it was unable to lock on for the same reason Sea Dart on Coventry wouldn't - it couldn't discriminate the A4s from the land behind them.
You can't see how it's complicated? Not at all? No historical events pop out as "it's not normal precedence to arrest people in other countries for crimes in your country"?

I mean look at the international outrage when people from country A commit a crime INSIDE country B and country B punishes based on their own laws. The north Korea prisoner who was tortured and died shortly after release stands out, but there are plenty of other examples.

To just say "I don't see how anyone has a problem with this" makes you sound like a shill or someone trying to look enlightened, because it's not hard at all to see how this is complicated.
>Opera GX has in-browser sound effects, composed in collaboration with sound designer Rubén Rincón and the band Berlinist, who recently received a nomination in the BAFTA Games Awards for Gris game original soundtrack. Sound effects can be toggled on and off in the settings.

Does that have something to do with gaming?

We Could Have Had Electric Cars from the Beginning
It's worth pointing out that, as with many writings from the eighteenth century, the meanings of words has shifted over time and the original meaning of the phrase is different what it would appear to modern eyes.

The current definition of "reasonable" has a strong connotation of "proportionate," which was not part of the intended meaning. "Reasonable" means something more like "rational." It kind of carries this reference to Enlightenment ideals where Reason is one of the Virtues that demonstrates the nobility of man. And the law is supposed to also be a demonstration of this same Virtue of Reason. I know that's a lot of highfalutin' words, but the point is this: A search being "reasonable" is based on whether it can be justified from abstract principles of law, not whether it can be justified from the circumstances.

So, for example: A few weeks ago, it was ruled that parking cops marking your tires with chalk violates the Constitution. That is an "unreasonable search." People had a hard time understanding this, because it's just a chalk mark, right? Well, that's not the point. "Unreasonable" does not mean that the chalk mark is a big deal. "Unreasonable" means that there was a physical trespass without individualized suspicion of wrongdoing. The thing that made the physical violation of private property "unreasonable" was not the proportionality of the trespass, but the fact that there was not an abstract legal principle that provides a justification for it.

There are emerging issues around the reasonableness of searches, but I think the bigger issue related to that is that "always-on" surveillance allows prosecutors to cherry-pick observations and construct "reasonable suspicion" out of completely innocuous behaviors. This is especially true when we start getting into profiling ("this person does things that criminals also do"). While it might be statistically valid, my personal opinion is that it starts getting outside the idea of "reasonable" suspicion, especially when there isn't a basis to suspect a specific crime.

Edit: Source for this is mostly a paper titled "The Original Fourth Amendment" by Laura K. Donohue, The University of Chicago Law Review Vol 83 No 3, pages 1181-1328.
> If you're eating processed meat substitutes all the time as a vegetarian, IMO you aren't doing it right. I'm sure plenty of other people would agree.

I couldn't disagree more. The vast majority of vegans are vegan primarily for religious reasons or because of animal welfare and/or environmental concerns (see, e.g., [0]). Heavily processed plant-based foods clearly address the religious and animal welfare considerations, and I suspect they're far more environmentally friendly than animal products despite the energy used to process and ship them.

Avoiding heavily processed foods is a good idea in general. But it's orthogonal to veganism. And eating heavily processed foods doesn't invalidate the benefits of veganism - aside from the health benefits, which are the primary concern for only a slim minority of vegans.

[0] https://vomadlife.com/blogs/news/why-people-go-vegan-2019-gl... - I assume this understates the share who cite religious reasons because of the bias toward English-speaking countries.

This, I think, is the key. The few projects I'm working on right now are not at the point where business logic would come into play, but all contributors are in agreement that they would support this model over all.

It allows the public to continue to use your work to collaborate and create better things, which is the point of open source, while allowing businesses (which should be able to afford to license a software product) to still pitch in and generate a profit. Both of these will attract talent and interest and allow collaborators to prosper.
Obviously, poor performing public schools don't do anyone any favors. They are filled with apathy from the teachers to the students. Other than that, regardless of what the parents are making, a strong education is a huge contributing factor for upward mobility.

> People who see education as a cure-all have largely ignored the metric most predictive of a child's educational success: household income.

This is patently untrue and can be seen directly in several poor immigrant populations that have come to the US in the last several decades. Cultures that put an emphasis on education have had the highest social mobility. The only reason household income is 'predictive' is because success typically begets success. But in higher income areas parents are simply more involved - maybe because they can afford to be or because they put an emphasis on education or they know the benefits of an education. This can work just as well for poor students, it's just more difficult.
Given that the snark is the entire point, it isn't clear to me what you wish others to do with that information.

What he is doing is not legal at all. He's littering. He's defecating in public. He's tresspassing presumably in some instances. He's perhaps doing these drugs in public. All of these things can get him in trouble if a cop cited him.

However, the one thing that won't get him in trouble is just having heroin in his pocket. All the other problems you list are still illegal.
The fuselage across all three variants is the same, as the other poster stated, the result has been that the F-35 has worse aerodynamic performance, is heavier, and has a wider radar cross section than it would have had if it didn't have to accommodate the STOVL requirement.

So while the different variants have different wing surfaces there is no denying that the Air Force and Navy versions would've been designed differently if the airframe didn't have to fit a lift fan in it.

So then you're back to the fundamental question of why even bother. Parts commonality is 1/4th of what it was supposed to be. Costs are nowhere near what they were originally billed as, even with the most optimistic estimates.

Really the only virtue of the JSF approach was that it made the program too big to fail.

I think it will be cool if there's a pharma company that would use crowdfunding to decrease the medicine costs. So each tier/goal will unlock additional benefits.

For example, if they created drug X with the research cost of $10M. When sales/crowdfunding reaches:

- $1M: drug margin is reduced by 10%
- $5M: drug margin is reduced by 50%
- $10M: drug is sold at cost & recipe is now open-sourced

These clear goals will be big incentive for people and organizations to donate. A successful fundrasising could drive new medicine cost way down or open-source it.

But of course, the system can still be exploited by inflating cost numbers, etc.
That’s likely to underestimate risks as there does not seem to be any deaths related to drunk drone operators.

With how many drones have been sold worldwide, if drones where even vaguely as dangerous as cars per hour we could easily find hundreds of deaths. So, even hypothetically cars are at minimum hundreds of times more dangerous.
Are you worried about (cargo-)theft? The way I imagine it:
- (assumption) it takes less criminal energy to steal something when no human observer is around
- lonely road in the middle of nowhere
- well known driving behaviour means it is easy to stop (overtake, then slow down to a halt?)
- enable mobile phone jammer (optional)
- take cargo
