True, but that's where the discoverability issues come in. For every Supergiant Games or Drinkbox Studios, there are hundreds of titles on Steam and elsewhere that fail to differentiate themselves or become anything, and probably thousands more that are hobby projects, left in partially completed states with many hours invested and nothing to show for it. In some ways, the wide adoption of tools like GameMaker Studio have probably exasperated this, as it's now very, very fast to get to the basics of "guy moving around screen", but harder to get good art or really unique gameplay mechanics.

There's an argument here that it's the role of publishers to handle the promotions side and provide that stamp of quality. Which may well be the case, but that just moves the pieces around— instead of needing to get onto the right curator's list or mentioned by the right twitch streamer, you now need to get your two minute pitch slot with someone from Devolver.

I guess there's a new tip if you plan to travel to the US: delete all social media for at least a few months, or else fill it with fake accounts praising the United States.

Huh. Now there's a fun business idea. For $k, we make you a new social media account that clones your existing ones (including friends), but removes all posts by your friends that machine learning determines are anti-American, and adds new posts that praises America.

I like the article but this nit bugs me:

>Some residents can afford more expensive homes as a limited supply increases demand, but those that can’t are pushed away into more precarious living situations and longer commutes.

Limited supply doesn't affect demand, they're largely independent unless you look at induced demand, but that mostly affects things like roads and power lines. It should say something like:

>As demand rises, the limited supply increases price.

or

>As supply outstrips demand, prices become unaffordable for large segments of the population.

It's just slightly wrong to indicate a causal relationship between supply and demand in the housing market, which is kinda what this whole page is about.
> in what universe is this ok

To play the devil's advocate - a universe in which a country (and other countries) have been attacked by people allowed into the country on similar visas. If someone fits a profile of a potential risk against a country's citizens (as indicated by the friends who exhibit strong anti-country biases), deporting is the next step.

This is also one of the most benign cases of border entry issues we've heard lately.

Setting aside the advocacy, it is a lot of power for any one person to have, but someone needs to do the job, and neither you nor I are doing it. If we don't do it, and others who think the same way as us don't do it, someone who doesn't think the same way as us will do it.
It's a hard thing to describe without being circular. The sensation for me is similar to actually physically seeing something, but more... ephemeral, I suppose? I can't see all the details of something as if I were actually looking at it; it's more like I'm looking at an incomplete mental representation of it.

While I agree with your thoughts on curbing high-skilled immigration, I'm curious as to why you think it's mainly Trump's fault and/or a new 'racist' policy? This sort of thing has been going on for a long time. Trump's deported fewer people than Obama [0].

I agree that this shouldn't be happening, but question both the accuracy and utility of blaming it on Trump.

Maybe if we had a more correct diagnosis, we as hackers - as you say - could be a more effective force against this.

I don't know this kid's particular case, but the travel ban has been directly mapped to stuff like this. It's ridiculous.

> so how about we pause for a minute before we jump on the outrage train?

Why, exactly? Can you give me an exact amount of time I should wait before reacting?

I find it pretty irritating that whenever people want to discuss a potential direct consequence of something a politician did, people immediately act like it's unfair to start talking about things until we have "all the facts". Even if this particular case is an outlier, and that the kid is secretly the next Ted Bundy, does that mean we shouldn't be discussing potential negative consequences of bad legislation?
I don't pretend Trump even knew or did anything directly to make this the case. I know immigration has gotten harder for some but until we know the full facts of this case, which we likely never will because the government keeps private matters private, the person could have been removed for any number of reasons. Perhaps some new information came to light, maybe a 3 letter agency notified USCIS of information that there is reason to be concerned about this student or family members. They view visas as a privilege so they'll revoke them if there's a hint of concern.

All I'm saying is without all the facts, we don't know that this wouldn't have happened under the last President either. The post-9/11 immigration policies have been rather harsh on a lot of people.

If the person is as smart as they say, there are plenty of good or better colleges they can likely go to in other countries and will be fine. It'll be our loss, not his.
Even if you assume requiring human takeover to be a relatively uncommon event (whatever that means), as soon as you posit it as something that will be needed from time to time, you've significantly constrained the car's usage models. You now must have a licensed, unimpaired driver in the car at all times. Even if they don't have to be paying attention, this means no empty cars, no unaccompanied children, no "driving" home from the night out, etc.
> Why would it be easier for trouble-makers to fool autonomous cars? As a human driver, I'd be fooled by pretty much any road marking or guy in an orange vest.

Imagine someone hacking the 'construction zone protocol' and spoofing thousands of cars into thinking they're in a construction zone at once. You'd be hard pressed to fool thousands of geographically separated human drivers at the same time.
Cool, looks interesting. I look forward to giving it a deeper look.
A menu off the top of my head;

-A mixed antipasto (olives, sun dried tomatoes, bruschetta, breaded garlic mushrooms, griller artichokes, dolmades etc.) to graze on before the meal.

-Panelle Palermitane to start, which are these crescent shaped fitters made with chickpea flour, parsley and pepper. They're a popular street food in northern Sicily. Highly recommend with a little drizzle of lemon juice.

-I can think of 10 odd pasta dishes that could be had for main but a favourite of mine would probably be a puttanesca; a pasta dish with olives, capers, eggplant and red pepper flakes. Proper rustic food and very filling.

-For desert you could have a Castagnaccio which is a chestnut cake with fruits. No milk or egg involved. Great with a shot of espresso!

-Sorbets throughout to cleanse the palate.

That's just 1 option for each part, but you could probably build a dish for each course for each day of the week if needed - all varied in ingredients and flavours.

Honestly, I'd say close to 30% of my diet is Italian - all of it vegan. There are plenty of options. Unfortunately most of the food people think of when they think Italy is something lathered with cheese and cured meats, but when I travelled through there most of the diet consisted of legume based stews, casseroles and soups, and plenty of bread and salads.

Wonderful. Quoting from the baguette recipe:

"The simplest breads are the most difficult to produce, and the baguette is high on the list of simple breads, in that it is made with a minimum of simple ingredients; there are no strong flavors that dominate, and it is above all the flavor of the flour that prevails. Properly made, it is magnificent, poorly made, it is bland and insipid. One of the more beautiful aspects of the baguette is the amount of crust it has. A finished baguette should have a rich, russet crust, crackling and fragrant -- don't underestimate the virtue of a bold bake. At the same time, the crumb should be creamy and aromatic, with a cell structure characterized by lots of random-sized holes, with translucent cell walls (if the holes are big enough to hide a mouse, though, your shaping skills need some attention)."

Your question is a little like asking "If chemotherapy cures cancer, then how come most people I know who have undergone chemotherapy tend to have cancer?" If the cities you mentioned hadn't undertaken some pro-density measures they would be even more unaffordable.

BTW if I sound like I'm anti-density because of the "cancer" metaphor, I'm not; sprawl is bad for the planet among other things, and well-planned walkable dense cities are the best way for a burgeoning human population to live in harmony with the planet and with ourselves.
Nah this is just Trump's social media policy. Clearly it extends to friends and perhaps friends of friends. It should be pressed in the courts and maybe Congress should get involved. I mean we do recognize freedom of speech in this country and freedom of association. Since this kid had a valid Visa so the vetting should have been done and the bar to invalidate that visa should be high. That being said, it seems wise for people to purge their social media before visiting the US. It also seems wise not to have US social media accounts.

It looks exactly the same to me. Many people think that black skin is a warning sign. The difference is in what you believe, not in what is happening.

I absolutely adore slab serif and Bitter in particular. It's so clear and punchy. It's good on display, on print and on kindle and it's free too.

I've noticed this effect after a really good movie or book. I can almost "feel" my brain thinking, ticking over and assembling meaning from what I've just seen (and can even sense "eureka!" moments), despite having no conscious awareness of the thoughts themselves (just TV static).

It also seems to happen more with foreign films, perhaps as they require an extra layer of subconscious analysis to parse the message by separating it from its cultural shell.

Dogen might disagree - although you can find him saying just the opposite as well:

"Yet, as a manifestation of the functioning of That Which Is Reality, this consciousness is the Absolute Principle of Reality".

"If the Buddha Dharma is real, then it follows that a picture of a rice cake must be real as well".

„Dreaming and being awake have always been as one and the same, for they are both manifestations of the Truth. And even if the Buddha’s Teaching were a metaphor, it would still be a manifestation of the Truth. And, as already stated, It is not a metaphor. What we create in a dream is the reality of the Buddha’s Teaching.“

You don't need to have malicious intent in order to accidentally send your user's data to third-party companies. Every single time you load any resource from anywhere, you create at minimum a line in their log file that contains your user's IP address, their User-Agent string, the content their browser requested, and the time they requested it.

EDIT: Personally, I no longer load any resources from third-party domains in new code I write. Bootstrap, jquery, etc. get served from the same domain as the rest of the website. Google Analytics is an absolute non-starter. And if you're concerned about wasting loading time or bandwidth on popular assets, you can use the "integrity" attribute to let the browser reuse a cached file from a different domain.
