Good response! See my updated/edited other post. You are right essentially -- these games can and sometimes do work like drugs -- neurochemically. And like with drugs total prohibition will probably make things even worse.
Perhaps to increase the dramatic effect?
Ironically the majority of purchases I make on iOS are in Audible, for which Amazon refuses to pay App Store fees so I have to do it all in a browser. I guess that’s one case in which I wish it was simpler to spend my money/credits.
> Your suggestion generalises to flying an airplane's pressure hull within another pressure hull

That is not the idea either
I'm mostly surprised how there's still people not aware of in-app purchases in 2019.
Jesus why not put your files on an external hard drive or in the cloud?
Yeah, this sounds right. I think MG contextualizes it a little bit more. I actually like the book for the exercises and MG's footnotes especially, but as I worked through it I had to consult other resources to make sure I wasn't missing anything. The Khan Academy Youtube channel was very helpful for this.
After dealing with Microsoft’s subpar effort in porting their apps to Mac you won’t find too many people who will enthusiastically install another MS product on their Mac. Especially one so crucial to their workflow.

I am shocked, that it is legal to offer simple games which allow in-app purchases of this size. If you compare these games to any AAA title which goes for like $70 or less, this isn't ethical in the first place.

With the money spent by a child, there should be no way to enforce the bill. Here in Germany, children cannot do business transactions which exceed the range of typical pocket money, so we are talking a few dollars here. Any business larger than that would require the parents to agree to be valid. Invalid transactions can be reversed.

And when pointing out towards parents negligence: keep in mind that there are no multiple accounts on iOS devices and there are good reasons to spend money to buy apps on a device. Of course, with enough understanding of the technology, parents would set it up so that the password is required for every purchase. The question is, is this a reasonable request for non-tech parents?

So if Apple wants to be in a position of morale, as they pitch themselves, they should put reasonable limits to in-app purchases, especially towards these games.
Have they fixed the dependency management issues yet? Last I checked Spacemacs required mirroring all the packages just to get somewhat close to a modern plugin installation experience. Also, those horrendous TLS compromises Emacs' made in the name of "user freedom".
How could we estimate how resilient the timeline is to small changes? If no small animal had been in the vicinity of the falling tree, perhaps that event would be much more insulated from humans.
I would think it’s pretty common. For a lot of people google is the internet. Or at least the reference. If google isn't working it’s almost certain it’s your end. I don’t think anyone else has that reputation for availability amongst the general public.
It's one of the difficulties with attacking screening applications where the population TPR is very low. For screening mammo, it's less than 1 in 1000.

Nothing quiet says "open web" like closed-source, proprietary, expensive applications like Pixelmator and Sublime Text.
A lot of these conversations miss two aspects completely:

1. Smart STEM people are more inclined to having a family. Constant uncertainty is not conducive to family. That will cause a lot of smart people to be sea turtles.

2. The most significant drawback of smart people congregating elsewhere is that future American companies are fucked. There is just going to be a lot more competition for products globally. Future Apple will have to fight Chinese companies in India. Mariott will have to fight Oyo in China. Future Tesla will have to fight BYD in Europe.

A LOT of our stock wealth is because other companies couldn't innovate as rapidly because the US was draining those countries of this talent pool. With this reversal, American companies will have a smaller pool of talent and will get whacked everywhere. Its super unfortunate.

In Brazil, [Herbert de Souza](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herbert_de_Souza) mobilized the society with a campaign called "Christmas without Hunger". One of the foundations of the program was that it wouldn't accept money, just non-spoilable food. Money would never reach who needed it. It was one of the most effective social campaigns we ever had.

No, the problem is work up rate. If you significantly increase the rate of biopsy (typically one of the possible next steps) eventually you are going to kill people, as biopsy is not a zero risk procedure.

You have to be really careful with FP rates in screening. Of course the answer to this could just be "don't biopsy due to only this result" but at some point that renders the approach pointless, if you can't find a cost effective way of mitigating the FPR.
Funnier than the flashplayer ads, is that "Google Chrome" was (is?) a heavy ad target for malware.

.. TESTIMONY OF HOW MY DAD GOT CURED FROM CANCER......

My name is Brown, my father has been suffering from cancer for over 3years, and the doctor told us that there is nothing he could do after doing 5 times chemotherapy and radiation and my father was not responding to treatment and not getting better.i was frustrated and confused and i started seeking advice from people until a friend told me about Dr. ALABI herbal medicines and cannabis oil and its fast curing ability of any kind of cancer and told me that her mother ovarian cancer was cured with the cannabis oil. I was desperate to save my father and i contacted Dr. ALABI via his email adress: dralabim5@gmail.com to get the miraculous oil. that was how the oil was sent to me through UPS Currier service. within 4days As i am writing this testimony on this Blog my father is so strong and healthy no more cancer in his cell blood again.my Father has been himself and i am so exicted of his fast recovery and with the help of this cannabis oil. What a miracle. My Father is now back alive, strong and healthy just within 3 weeks. We have gone for test and the doctor said there is no trace of cancer again in his body. you can also reach him via his whatsapp number:+2348155011610...Dr, ALABI CAN AS WELL CURE THE FOLLOWING DISEASES:
1. HIV/AIDS
2. HERPES
3. CANCER
4. ALS
5. Hepatitis B
6. Diabetes
THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR TAKING YOUR TIME TO READ THROUGH MY TESTIMONY
I'm surprised that neither VSC nor Atom make it. Unless there's a strong language level alternative (i.e. RStudio for R), those are the first two places I'd point people looking for a code editor on Mac. Granted neither is perfect, but surely if I had a list of ten programming tools, one or both would make it.
This list is honestly kind of embarrassing. Both the inclusions and glaring exclusions are just odd. How can most of these be considered to be "promot[ing] the open web"..?
I definitely like this system of applying policies. Would like to see more than http though, like being able to set policies on execution time (e.g.: avoiding a RegEx DoS), filesystem access (e.g.: logger middleware can only write to /var/log/app), module access (e.g.: code that handles sensitive info like passwords can only load trusted modules), etc

Is this the future goal for the project or is it more of a PoC?
I think that's approximately the issue with my setup as well (I also have a Denon receiver). I believe I settled on only disabling CEC on the TV. Thus waking up the Apple TV does turn on the receiver, and putting it to sleep turns off the receiver. I only have to manually turn the TV on and off, which isn't so bad. Ideally I would be able to configure it so that all CEC controls were active except that manually turning off the TV did not turn off any other device.
>If a purchase (fraudulent or not) exceeds your current balance, the payment won’t process

>But that is a good thing.

In case of fraud that's a bad thing because your cash flow is now screwed until the dispute's resolved. What do you do if you have $1000 in the bank, you get a fraudulent charge for $600, and this months rent of $800 is coming up?
> When someone younger than me ...

The first thing is, you have to forget the fallacy that it matters where everyone is situated chronologically in human history.

Neither you, nor these ones you envy, will be as good as some historic twenty-year-old who might be 200 if he were alive today. Or as good as some twenty-year-old who won't be born for another fifty years hence.

People are mostly rewarded with money and acclaim by doing things that please others: mainly others who are able to market and sell whatever it is. Money doesn't just fall from the sky onto good engineering alone. For every dollar those people make from their work, someone else gets ten.
That’s why I don’t like the term real time. Decision time should be the criterion.
People could choose. Slaves couldn't. They were literally not considered people (which then "improved" to 3/5th of a person).

Or to put it another way, "the market" may decide that the optional strategy is when you have no voice and are an obedient resource. In that case your opinion about it being the opposite of a market system doesn't matter.
I can tell you're a member of the gaming community because you have basically dismissed my comment in a condescending manner without providing any actual information.
What's your threshold for "high-current"? USB ports have been delivering about two amps for a decade, and most USB laptop chargers cap at three amps. Even the absolute max of five isn't much higher.
They're already heavily tweaking YouTube and Search results. They really shouldn't have section 230 protections for their ad platforms.
Depends by what you mean by catchup? Complete feature parity hardly is the goal of Blender project so I’m not sure how to figure out what exactly constitutes the feature disparity that should be caught up by blender.

One view to look at it is that polygon based modeling, animation and material authoring can be done using a finite feature set, and once that feature set is complete, further enhancements are nice to have, but not critical.
I've seen rural roads in poorer parts of Eastern Europe some decades ago. They definitely used bicycles and found them useful, but that was more of a fair weather type of thing. And bikes were exclusively used to get one person from point A to point B; to carry goods they preferred 4 wheel vehicles, either motorized or not.

Perhaps that's just my experience.

You're right about horses. Oxen were the preferred power source to move goods. Sometimes donkeys. Horses were used for the same purposes, but that indicated the owner was definitely not on the lowest rung on the social ladder. The context here is the Eastern Bloc decades ago.
This was common in the hard sciences way back when. I remember fellow students saying things like: "I have my three papers, that's three chapters, now I just need my intro and conclusions." In psychology, they had a phrase, which was: "Published and outa here."

Some advantages: It meant your work was demonstrably publishable, you got 3 pubs out of it. Disadvantages: You were basically a hostage until your advisor agreed to let you publish 3 papers. It probably tended to flood the literature with papers of lesser quality.
I have the same setup as you, except rather than use Maya for animation I use the free UE4Tools plugin for Blender which works with 2.79.

I had pretty good success with it, and wrote a Python addon which builds on top to retarget mocap data from the Perception Neuron suit to the UE4 Skeleton.
Some people have mouths to feed and bills to pay. You can't just tell people to quit if they don't like it. There aren't many other $15/hour jobs available for most of those workers.
What? I thought there was an exception: that you can take the sources for your compiler with you; just not things like money and cars. Shit!
> isn't following the standard

This is just plain wrong.

The USB standard explicitly allows cables that have a USB-C connector and don't support any USB features above USB 2.0.
These games are literally designed to exploit vulnerable people, and they use every trick in the book to do it. Criticising parents for not being able to defend against the fruits of millions of hours of labour spent on marketing and r&d which exists solely to exploit is honestly shameful, as if parenting isn't difficult enough already. Do you really think gaming companies exploiting children by introducing them to gambling is the fault of the parents? What next, is the tobacco industry blameless too? Just a tiny bit of empathy on your part for people rather than capitalists would go a long way I think.

> When you say “you can’t blame Amazon, they’re just paying market wages” what you’re saying is “profit is the only thing that could possibly matter.”

You put your finger on the thing that bothers me most about the free-market critique of labor conditions. They all hand-wave away the responsibility that corporations have as entities run by (presumably) empathetic humans. Amazon does not have to automate away jobs instead of giving workers fairer conditions and wages. In fact, they may find that the boost in productivity that comes from happier, more rested, more focused workers more than makes up for the marginal decrease that comes from less pressure in the workplace.

The point is that we don't have to accept that corporations are, and should be, perfectly "rational" economic actors. They don't have to pursue profits at every conceivable avenue unless the market tells them otherwise.
Living in California Is Living on the Edge
I find more fun in the older games. Unlike the IAP crap and all the ways of gamification, older games could be modded and had humongous modding communities.

Other than Minecraft, not so much these days. So I stick with older. Less to "gamify my wallet"

For the sake of American cuisine, at least France should be added to the list.
When I last used the recruiter tools, I didn't see a way to filter for years of experience in a specific job type (e.g. software engineering) or a set of roles.

There's no way to filter for people who have 10+ years' experience in software engineering roles. Or someone who has 5+ years' experience in CTO or VP Eng roles.

Page Rank is a synonym for link juice. So when you say Google hasn't used page rank since 2006, can you confirm that you are talking about link juice as opposed the the old toolbar representation of page rank? And assuming you do mean link juice, well why do links still work so well for seo?

Subpar effort in porting? They've been excellent for something closing in on a decade now. And VS Code is practically a mainstay with mac developers now.
I Got Paid to Improve Rich Kids' Personalities on Their College Applications
The article mentions the overload on the computer was caused by "a mismatched power supply to a radar" triggering too many calculations. Any idea how or why the power supply was mismatched ? Luckily software saves the day but what was the root cause of the hardware fault ? Was that a case of a mismanaged change in configuration ?
The realistic reading is that it mainly just transfers money from profits to wages. Demand for minimum waged labor is very, very inelastic.
You're talking about a company that makes its money on volume. They have more than 600K employees and thin margins. It's not just a matter of converting profits into wages, they don't have that much in profits in proportion to the number of employees.

Take their average annual profit from retail divided by number of employees and see for yourself what the difference in hourly wage would be.

To pay significantly more they would have to raise prices, which they can't do because they're in competition with Walmart and everyone else.
What Newly-Minted Millionaires Struggle With
Yes, agreed. Lotsa factors in play when it comes to deliverability, like a puzzle. What a well established brand (with high quality emails) can get away with isn't something that businesses with less resources should try to copy though IMO.

Just saw an email from Starbucks in the spam folder - all because of a few words that no doubt triggered the spam filter.
Although gambling consists of convincing the gambler they will get real money in return, while these games seem to be trying to convince the gamer that they aren't spending real money.

It's definitely similar but the difference could be important.
We live in a world were ever PC has at least 2 Gbyte of ram and most CPU's are 64 bits, the section 'Data Representation' begins to explain how 'everything' can be stored in a single 32-bit integer, if we limit integers to 30 bits. What the hack?

How so? Tagless final style usually requires a monad instance; how can you describe the result of a call to fmap in a serializable way without executing it?
I work at Google but not on Search.

My guess is that it's because Google Search now also has to cater to queries from Assistant. Being required to handle web, mobile, and assistant probably necessitated tradeoffs in quality of one over another.

More generally I feel like as the company gets bigger it just gets much harder to handle all the complexity and keep things focused.
Parents can't be expected to get everything right all of the time. It's not unreasonable to ask that technology companies don't exploit vulnerable people, and in particular, children. Blaming the parents in this case is something I just don't understand. The companies could just like, not exploit children for profit. I've managed to go my whole life without exploiting children, it's actually very very not difficult and I have no sympathy for these companies.
> We have to collectively decide whether that tradeoff is worth it

We do exactly that every day. Price discovery in the market is the result of collective actions that determine if a tradeoff is worth it.
“...including to bring your products to market, to round up your animals, to buy equipment and supplies, etc.”

No... Farmers didn’t bring their products to market unless they were running a plantation, ie they were very large operators, which were few and far between and would certainly nit having been riding a bicycle - those guys would be going in a nice two horse cart. The small guys sold to a local buyer who handled the shipping. Part of the reason for this is that the products you produced for sale were very bulky. A tobacco bale could be over half a ton; similar for cotton. Bulk grains and beans weren’t as likely to be sold to distant buyers, but they too are too bulky to carry by bicycle.

I round up animals on a daily basis. A bicycle is worse than useless for this purpose. Which is why farmers don’t use them for rounding up animals today.

Shopping was done at most a few times a year. You rode your horse (or mule or donkey - see below) to the general store. Often, salesman came to you, specifically because you weren’t going to town much. So you’d have traveling brush salesmen - or pots and pans salesmen, traveling patent medicine salesmen, tinkers and ferriers.

When you went to town, the kinds of things you were buying were usually too bulky to carry by bike. You didn’t go to town to buy a shirt or two. You went to buy a plow, or if you had a good year some china. Popping in to town on a nike would have been a very niche use case.

Also, you weren’t buying very much equipment. What you couldn’t make yourself you had the local blacksmith make for you. There’s very little on an 1850s American farm that wasn’t locally produced.

“Only a successful farmer could afford a horse.”

Err... no... Not in the US anyway. In order to farm you had to plow and in order to plow you had to have a draft animal. That wasn’t always a horse, in some cases it was a mule or donkey, or sometimes in the west an ox. And all of those animals were also used for transport. Granted nobody rode oxen but they often pulled wagons, hence the term “oxcart”.

There was a term used coined after the Civil War: “40 acres and a mule”. It comes from field orders issued by Union General William “Tecumseh” Sherman with the approval of Abraham Lincoln, and it redistributed white property to newly freed slaves. The idea was that the slaves needed at minimum those two things to be self supporting.

But in any case, you’ve got the order wrong. You didn’t buy a horse (or a mule) once you became a successful farmer. You bought a horse in order to become a successful farmer, in much the same way that the successful programmer today will own a (or will have an employer-provided) computer. It was an essential piece of equipment.
keep in mind the Blender Foundation is based in The Netherlands, not San Francisco. That salary might go a much, much longer way compared to if Blender was based in the US (maybe, I do not know the average compensation for skill programmers in that country).
