I often quote/link your article on the Adjective Fallacy [0], about once a month since I first saw it nearly ~4 years ago! Thanks for a great resource.

I'm not sure. Look at the Hyperdimension Neptunia games, for example. Reuses a lot of assets, not really known for any graphical prowess, pretty much functional at best graphics. They sell a ton of them. Same with the Atelier games, they are pretty much decent PS3-level graphics but nothing fancy.

Or the Earth Defense Force games. I think once you get loyalty to a series, if anything change is a net negative. There's a lot more to go wrong than go right. Gamers are conservative by nature; if it works, keep playing it
Opera is basically compromised and people should know about it.
I think the title should be "The Next Recession Will Destroy Millenials... IN USA".

I think the next recession will change the world order, making China the most important player. Petro Yuan will be the next big currency and USA will try to create some war or their millitary spending will kill them.

That's the news cycle for you, it's just another time sink to monetize your nonworking hours. There are maybe only a handful of truly significant stories a year, the rest is niche interest stories and stuff that's not very relevant or practical at all in your personal life. Therefore, to keep the lights on, CNN has to keep you on the edge of your seat. They know very well no one will remember yesterdays gaffe.

Personally, I skim the nyt newsletter over cereal and basically only thoroughly read local news articles from the paper of record here and some decent local magazines. Reading local stories gets you out of the little cultural bubble you've formed around your lifestyle. I've learned my city is an onion, a thousand cities at once. National news, on the other hand, is designed to polarize and monetize.

>substantial oversight on each and every piece to ensure it turns out the way he wants.

The goal is to avoid this. Him having to do art direction at the moment is a necessity due to relying on a variety of ever changing contractors. He doesn't seem to view it as a strength noting that it would take more time than he's willing to put in to get good at it.

Neither of his articles need be written if this just boils down to him not wanting his art to change because he thinks he's doing a bang up job.

>for a full time artist, this would be micromanaging and isn't really conducive to a great working relationship.

For anyone, artist or not, it would be hell. My last two employers were owner/managers of businesses with ~20 employees and it was enough to make me think "never again". Working every day in a tiny office with just the two business owners, neither of which apparently understand what I do? Just put a bullet in me now. He absolutely should not hire someone to work full time in person, even if he suddenly decided his absurd $140k/year employee idea is worth it, simply because it would lead to terrible work and micromanagement.

>Add in remoting and it gets even weirder. What are you going to do, mail them every hour for updates?

No, you're going to leave them largely alone.
Mass-market cars tend to yes. The economics work out for them to do that, along with trying to get those repeat customers. The low-volume exotics not as much. They didn't make extra parts when the factory was doing the initial batch, and they sure aren't going to go spin it up for the odd one-off.
Is there a way to simplify the `swap` function?

You're focusing on the wrong part of the problem. You're thinking of everything as a giant physics simulation, and completely ignoring the hardest part: humans.

Let's say you're driving through an intersection with a green light, and there's a pedestrian waiting to cross. The robot has the right of way and goes, but suddenly the pedestrian decides to cross in front of the vehicle. Even if the reaction time was 0.00 seconds it's too late to avoid a collision. The problem is the robot didn't anticipate that the pedestrian was going to cross despite not having the right of way. Humans are better at reading social cues than robots. Maybe robots can learn that, but it's a significantly harder problem than path planning and image segmentation. This applies further than pedestrians and also drivers and predicting their behaviors on the road. And if you try to drive cautiously to avoid this potential scenario, you effectively stop and crawl every time you see a pedestrian and are not very useful for moving from point A to point B (not to mention all the pissed off traffic behind you).

The reason it's difficult is because it's an uncontrolled environment, and the robot has to be able to anticipate what other drivers/cyclists/pedestrians will do. Robots have done wonders in controlled environments, but trying to bring them to the real world has always been a struggle.

A lot of public budgets don't have room for a big upfront cost, but a longer pay period can be incorporated more smoothly and disturb fewer other parts of the budget, even if it ends up costing more in the long run. Sometimes there are federal grants to provide quick windfall for public works.

Mary Meeker's internet report this year is one place where you can see a summary chart that suggests that not only is technology innovation happening exponentially (which a lot of people agree to) our adaptability is also growing (which I guess it has to in order for innovation growth to continue like that?):

(however what's most interesting about that slide is that we no longer can adapt to the rate of change/innovation in technology)

Most people have a phone number with google for gmail (you didn't need one in the beginning, but do now). There's also their wallet, app store, voice, broadband, phone plan, etc.

Some people will dodge all of that, but most won't.
> Is it all attributable to being electric rather than gas?

Partly yes, but Tesla didn't have a shelf to go grab parts from in the first place, either. They didn't come out of an existing auto company with an existing parts inventory after all. And for the body & frame they also started with a Lotus which is itself not a mass-market car.

You'll probably find _some_ non-custom common parts in a Roadster, like maybe the A/C system. But the drive train makes up a pretty big chunk of the parts in a car.

I don't think people get that making something a little less sucky doesn't really result in appreciable sales. Even if he improves the graphics a little, it's still going to be a dated text-heavy PC RPG that is based on a certain time. Like, if you don't enjoy retro styling, the difference between a game like The End is Nigh and Iconcolasts isn't really going to draw you in, nor would End's simpler graphics be an issue. Maybe a huge stylistic increase like Hollow Knight might though.

> If you're capable of running the Tor browser, we encourage you to do so. Brave isn't as good as the Tor browser if you're smart enough to use the later.

May I ask what you mean by "if you're capable of running the Tor browser" and "if you're smart enough to use the later (sic)"? Is it about the person knowing that it even exists? I use Tor Browser sometimes, and it's no different from using any other browser (except for some differences in network speed and the fact that it isolates every tab). I don't see what specific capability or smartness is required to use it.

Ask a simple question, get a simple answer: no.

The reason credit card companies are willing to give customers rewards/cashback is that they’re competing, primarily for interchange revenue. Most cards are guaranteed to be profitable for the issuer (ex-credit risk); some models (5% rolling category up to $75 back, etc) are not strictly guaranteed to be profitable, but they’re running a portfolio strategy.

You don’t need to make money on every account. You need to make money on every pool of, say, 100,000 accounts. One could conceive of rebate schemes poorly designed enough to not do that, but the industry broadly doesn’t ship them.

There are people who make hobbies off of attempting to get the financial industry’s sweet sweet marketing dollars. The financial industry can afford an infinite number of business analysts and geeks. The marketing dollars are still on offer. What does this suggest to you as to the portfolio-wide impact of hobbyists who exploit the offers?

I'm deliberately trying never to update to Windows 10 because I think Windows 7 had everything I could ever need from the OS.

I wish the hardware drivers weren't so restricted as for my latest laptop no driver exists for Windows 7 so had to be forced to install Win 10 nightmare.

One tip for you guys is that if you want to get rid of most bloat that comes bundled with Win 10, I found this freeware software to be pretty effective:

So far I haven't witnessed any issues in terms of stability after removing almost all bundled crap.
>there is a lot of R&D into large-scale energy storage, there aren't really any great solutions yet

Re#1: Storing water in a reservoir behind a set of generators is a pretty good solution.

R&D isn't needed. Energy storage is not rocket science or necessarily expensive. You just use excess energy to lift something high ... pump it or railroad it uphill, or stack it. Reverse to power generators. Of course that's just a boring, cheap, low-tech, well-proven solution.

Re#2: Of course if you try rewewables in the wrong place, you get unsatisfying results. With a big enough reservoir,'days or weeks' isn't hard ... and so you don't need backup plants. Even then, while costs of backup plant fuels are high. renewable fuel costs are nearly zero. At the right sites, the average costs are at least competitive.
I agree with Crichton here, and I'm someone who gets all my news from print. Interestingly enough, you don't see experts speculate like this in their respective fields. When postulations are made in the sciences, they are highly cautious and filled with disclaimers, just short of saying 'we are probably completely wrong until someone physically proves what we are spouting about here in the second to last paragraph of the manuscript.'

But in the nyt, you don't get these disclaimer sentences surrounding the speculation. You get "Tarrifs feared to raise steel prices as high as 10%" boldface in the headline, and that's all most people really see. If you have a communications degree, don't give me your theories on macroeconomics. Stay in your lane, and keep the analysis in the macroeconomics journals. The job of the reporter is to report, not read tea leaves.

My theory why nyt and other papers do this baseless speculation that they aren't qualified to make: game retail traders.
I love how OP’s question and this answer apply to Algorithms problems, and Distributed Systems problems, too (two things I want to get better at)
My daily driver is Firefox (and I abandoned Google Chrome long ago), but if I have to choose, for whatever reason, between sending requests directly to Google and sending requests to Brave, I'd choose the latter. I do trust Brave more than I trust Google (yes, I'm also aware of the controversies with a rave about its founder and about its micropayments service). I wish Mozilla would actually proxy requests to Google, since I trust Mozilla a lot more.

We ought to expect more from Mozilla on this.

Yes but again, I prefer not to offload commenting to a third party because they can ban you(reddit can ban your subreddit) or just stop their service(Google Plus comments). If I am to use Reddit, I might as well just use Disqus or Facebook comments that I can embed on the site and my visitors won't even have to leave the site to comment on a post.
It seems that abandoning the userbase of the people that got you there is a staple ingredient for start-ups beyond a certain size too.
Sounds like the US started weaponizing space long before it began accusing China and Russia of doing the same.
Thanks for the great analysis!

Side question: I use Brave on Android and have noticed that scrolling through the comments here on HN can be a bit finicky.

The first swipe tends to sometimes scroll the contents of a comment (not the page) up or down by a couple of pixels, then the next swipe with finger starting in same comment will let me scroll the page.

Just thought I'd mention it as I love Brave and am hoping this can be improved. Haven't noticed it on other mobile browsers. Cheers!

Based on polling SB-50 had the support of roughly 2/3 of Californians [0]. If we actually decided things democratically like we pretend to we wouldn’t need to worry so much about strong interests coming out against this.

The people benefiting from the status quo have made hundreds of billions of combined dollars over the past decade alone at the expense of everyone else. They’ve built metaphorical walls to keep everyone else out of their cities except themselves. It’s long past time they were stopped from doing that. Who cares if they don’t like the transition? Everyone else doesn’t like the stranglehold they’ve been living under with the status quo.

On my windows 10 computer, the browser settings have an option called "Open new tabs with", defaulting to "Top sites and suggested content". This can be changed to "A blank page", right there in the browser settings.

On the same computer, on the default start page ("Top Sites and suggested content"), the hieroglyph cog referenced above is conveniently place at the top right, and even has a label, too. It's called "Hide Feed".

To get math intuition, you need some memorization along with practice. In school, you focus lot on remembering things for exams, that pays off later. As you grow, it becomes difficult to remember mindlessly.

1. Do exercises from competitive-exam books written for secondary school children.

2. Try to solve as many as possible exam papers in stipulated time.

This will help you to build intuition. Intuition comes only after doing something for long time (unless you are born-genius). Memorization plays very important role in learning maths, language, music instruments. On second note, don't fear to change resources if you're not comfortable. What I mean is - in childhood if you like teacher, you excel in subject. So you have to find material which match your temperament. Wish you best luck !

There are two groups of people who take pictures of satellites:

1. Amateur astronomers like this guy.

2. Nation states who take clandestine photos of other nation's spy satellites. These pictures are better, but you haven't seen them.

For everything else, there's some guy working in the lab who's like, "oh, you want a picture of our satellite? Of course, there's like 40 of them on our press site. Do you need more? I can ask around and see if anyone's taken selfies from interesting angles." So there's no open institutional force behind it. So the only reasonable outcome of natural market forces is that amateur astronomers create the best pictures of satellites in orbit.

Amateur astronomer isn't a slur either, if that was your point. Take a look at the galleries on cloudnights, a lot of it wouldn't look out of place on NASA/ESA homepages.
