I don't think you can come up with a quality test for economic scenarios in a truly scientific way, many monopolies dominate for very different reasons, many industries have very different mechanics, and worse, regulations are often implemented in vastly different ways and often won't come out the way you'd like them to even if you have a perfect scientific answer to a given problem.

You can't guarantee or even approximate a given input and output for a scenario like this.
They're not allowed but it's so hard to evict people from rent controlled units in NYC, and so lucrative to rent out your place, that it's extremely common. Maybe more than 50% of units. A lot of times you rent to a friend or relative so they don't rat you out. It effectively turns rent control into a $1000+ a month untaxed subsidy. I'm sure there's plenty of people that rent out more desirable rent controlled units and don't have to work a day in their lives.
That’s interesting about the mm. Most carpenters (having been one) will measure to the 1/16th of inch, rather than the 1/8th. If you’re cutting trim, sometimes you need a bit more precision. There’s a lingo for that, “11 and 5/16 plus a c* hair.” I suppose metric could be useful to move the job site towards political correctness...

For what it’s worth, 1/16” is also about a saw kerf. But in my experience, that doesn’t really matter because, as I was taught, you don’t take the line, but keep the blade completely on the waste side.
This is interesting, but several of the examples are useless (such as HList) or might not be a good idea in practice. Sometimes that's an easier way to explain a concept, but it would be helpful to see more examples that show you techniques that are actually recommended, rather than what not to do.
The average build for a AAA game coming out in 2020 is barely in playable shape and certainly not ready to be shown at E3. Making one polished enough to show off is both time consuming and not representative of the final product. I really wish people were more open to seeing blocked out levels and unpolished animations to have an idea of where these projects are going but unfortunately even the most pristine presentations get picked apart online so I don’t think that’s happening anytime soon.

You are correct if you interpret "Visa and Mastercard" as literally Mastercard Incorporated and Visa Inc.

He used "Visa and Mastercard" as a metonymy for the entire payment processing network i.e. payment gateway + issuing bank + acquiring bank + card networks. The total fee for the entire network is indeed 3-4%, and as you rightly pointed out, Mastercard Incorporated and Visa Inc. fees actually only make up for less than half of the total transaction fees.

For those who write eBooks, what is the best output format? I am planning to write a introductory book on deep learning which is going to contain a lot of math and code. I find LaTeX as the best way to author math stuff but I don't know if I can generate .mobi and .epub files from it.

Are the .mobi and .epub formats even worth it?

Would it be simpler to just output an A6 format PDF that can be viewed alike on desktop as well as eReaders?
The problem there lies that there's almost zero chance that the game you see @ E3 will be the exact same game that gets released 6 months down the line. Sure, you could just stop development, but then you're just wasting 6 months you could be spending making the game better. That could mean adding new mechanics or story, but sometimes you decide that a really cool thing just doesn't fit in to the story you're trying to tell, so you cut it and it's a better game for it. I feel like it's a have your cake and eat it too.

That not to mention the industry feedback you get that you could be incorporating.
I would certainly champion that Nintendo model. I feel like people are even willing to pay a premium for it. Nintendo is to video-games what Apple was to computers through about 2014. I seldom play video-games, but my outsider's perspective is that Nintendo is the only major company which puts serious effort into making its products appear consistently polished and professional.

If you're a normal, genetic male, this is normal. If you're female, then this would not be normal. In fact, a palpable structure at the farthest edge of the outer rearmost point on the skull is a way to tell one's birth gender in most instances: yes = genetic male, no = genetic female. Rarely (if ever) do gender reassignment surgeries eliminate this structure when transitioning from male to female.

Houston also famously has no zoning laws, which massively exacerbates problems associated with sprawl.

In my experience the opposite is true. With relaxed zoning it's easier to live closer to work, and more likely that common destinations like grocery stores will be conveniently nearby.

That's a misoptimization. New York City's subway and roads may be terribly inefficient relative to what they could be. They're still vastly more so than the rural transportation in the rest of the state.

Pick the low hanging fruit before trying to squeeze out the last few percent.

And in any case the existence of bad transportation policy isn't a reason not to celebrate a climate bill, so I don't get your point.

There's an important distinction (spectrum?) between automated theorem provers and proof assistants. Coq is a proof assistant, which means that any automation is there to try to help the programmer by clearing away the tedious parts and leaving only the creative, fun parts. At the end of the day, it's still a human writing a proof. Afterward, Coq ultimately verifies the proof's integrity, which is an easy mechanical operation.

Don't brush off metadata as useless information. They know who you talk to when you send these WhatsApp messages. They know how often you talk to these people. They know when you talk to these people. From this information they are more able to glean who are the important people in your life, what kind of relationship you have,and can then weight these profiles better. Only talk to this person sporadically during normal business hours? Good chance this person is purely a work contact. Routinely send messages after work? Probably a friend. Send lots of large payload messages late at night to a certain someone? Naughty you ;)

Of course this is endemic to any third party you trust buffering and delivering these communications, this is not particular to Facebook. However, Facebook is explicitly using this information, while others explicitly say they don't.

I would trace it to a few factors; most important is the rise of the influencer advertising strategy.

It is vastly cheaper to simply pay streamers to hype up your game on Twitch or youtube than it is to give an honest, sober demo live on an E3 stage. The audience at these press events has shifted from enthusiast reporters/critics to hyperventilating influencer personalities. It was so bad this year that they were obnoxiously screaming and interrupting the presenters every few seconds to the point where the people on stage were losing their train of thought.

The other aspect is that putting together a demo takes time out of development. Almost every game shown this year had a release date of either Fall 2019 or Spring 2020. That means they're either on crunch or ramping up for it and can't afford to set aside a few months to make a vertical slice for E3. This is partly due to the end of this console generation with new hardware coming next holiday season.

The longer term trend is that marketing has caught on to the irrelevance of E3. They can run their own Nintendo Direct style live stream whenever they want to speak to their audience and the press will disseminate that info to the wider community.

You're even seeing companies like EA experiment with dropping a new title with zero advance notice as they did with Apex Legends (their take on battle royale, from the Titanfall developers). They just had an influencer preview event the week before and dumped it to the public with pretty wild success.

It is a dichotomy. You do not want the same thing being covered by two different types of test. Duplicated test coverage means duplicated maintenance.

>There is a world of productivity difference between a 1 minute test suite and a 40 minute (or 4 day) test suite

Not in my experience. Tests can easily run while I'm at lunch, overnight, working on something else or, if time is really of the essence, in parallel. If I'm running an individual test while developing anything that runs in under a minute has no effect on my productivity.

Tests that don't catch bugs are a far, far bigger deal.
I'm still confused. Can you elaborate.

Property owners have no interest in creating housing; scarcity keeps their property values high. However, I don't get why it is that renters seem ineffective as a block in advocating for more construction. There are lots of renters, many with more roommates than they'd like, and they're all vaguely aware that their landlords could decide to evict everyone and sell, so they should be motivated to try to build the stock of alternatives.
There are several factors as to why the Haskell program no longer worked - first is that I'm a crappy Haskell programmer. A lot of the things I thought I was doing ended up being NOT what I want upon reflection many years later (it was a game that was essentially a spreadsheet in disguise). Second, the ecosystem has changed a lot in the intervening years. Thus, nothing worked. I recently rewrote the game just to keep up my Haskell skills because I don't really write much on a day-to-day basis
Open plan offices are indeed terrible, but that doesn't contradict the benefit of face-to-face communication. For me the best environment has been a large team office with 4-8 people, where everyone has a decent amount of personal space and spontaneous discussions are more likely to be relevant.
How do you do live migrations? Do you shard, then suspend existing queries, and finally redirect?
I’m struggling to find a citation for this, so I’ll caveat that this is from memory, but I’m pretty sure SF had had about as many housing starts as the rest of the Bay Area over the last ten years. It’s not nearly enough units, and it’s basically all in SoMa and Mission Bay, but nevertheless the city is doing more than most of the bay.

Interesting to note that Mountain View is also trying to pull its weight, per a sibling comment.

I think the easiest solution here would be at the state, rather than local level. Start tying state budgets to housing supply: ie. figure out approximately how much housing need there is in the region and require each city to permit a proportional share of that per year or lose state funding for roads, schools, etc.

"Very unlikely" is a severe understatement. With only 100k people, the odds of no one else having your birthday is 10^-120. With a million people, it is 10^-1192.

Setting aside the Skinner Box aspect of the gaming industry for a moment, I think you're missing the social dimension of gaming.

A lot (if not most) of these new AAA games that are coming out have a strong social aspect. The game is a way to hang out with friends, the same way going to see a movie in the theaters might be, or checking out a new restaurant, or trying a new board game, etc. The novelty of the new game helps to decorate the shared experience.
