The hero mechanic is what made WC3 WC3... If you weren't a hero-guy, go with undead, their heros were 50% supplementary and stupidly weak, and you could just focus on your army. Orc was like 90% hero action though, with a single Blademaster being the equivalent of an entire army at the cost of the fact that orc armies were stupid expensive and their air-force was laughably horrible (except the year or so when wyvern poison was massively overpowered)... And this was representative of the racial strengths as a whole, orc grunts were the most expensive, and most powerful of the tier 0 fighters, and undead ghouls were the expendable zerglings. It's one kind of rush to see two 300 apm pros go at it in SC with max-food armies, and entirely another to see a level 10 demon-hunter face off solo against a lv 6 archmage, lv5 mountain king and lv 3 paladin. Additionally adding in terrain hazards of creeps and day/night and manipulable trees made battlefield mechanics so much more interesting than the colonial line-warfare of SC. The decision to drop food limits in WC3 compared to SC (dramatically limiting max army size) was purposely done to enhance this difference. The inclusion of items was less about RPG elements and more about tactical versatility allowing heroes mercurial abilities to shift roles at the drop of a hat.

The addition of heroes made early game harassment, specifically the sub-2 minute fastbuild archmage rush, possible and exciting, much more interesting than zergling-rushes.

It was a new game, WC2 was great but it was chess, all sides exactly equal in all cases (except I think 1-2 ogre-mage vs paladin spells). SC was an incredible feat because each race was distinct yet balanced. WC3 was just as much a feat because they maintained that balance (with notable exceptions, like the year or so when sorc-rushes just dominated all levels of competitive play) with the introduction of super-units.

Also WC3 is definitely RTS more than RPG, I mean one of the first basics one learns is peasant pathing with farms to optimize gold-flow... or fog-of-war manipulation to distract the enemy by popping a single unit in and out of their sightlines while you're busy elsewhere... If you watch pros playing in first-person camera-mode you'll see that 50% of the action during battle is base-management. Battle could conceivably be considered more distraction than main-thrust.
I do have some benchmarks that are common sense in terms of tracking performance. It's challenging to link it directly to success metrics although that's a long term goal.

The time is another one to push in terms of advertising - You can setup a virtual scene instantly and clean it up just as fast.

I'll have to make sure my application has those benchmarks highlight appropriately. Thank you for your comment!
That's a beautiful statement of purity, but my reality has been different. Even with the best of intensions sometimes resources are created outside of an IaC solution and you want to bring them in.

On the other hand I hear that CF's rollback is better at not leaving things in a busted state.
The difference is that Facebook has millions to pour into resources, marketing, etc, while those other crypto currency companies do not.

The processor is atleast 100x more powerful. The display is 100x better. Speakers, cameras, sensors all have advanced. And yet your battery still lasts on one-charge-per-day. That must be surprising.
Thanks, my weight is the aftermath of the unhealthy food, and I do consider it my biggest problem. I constantly feel embarrassed when doing things, I feel shy when meeting new people, constantly wondering whether they're judging me on my weight or not. I've been trying for years to eat healthier, tried intermittent fasting as well. Usually it works for a few days, and then I screw it up over the weekend. I think that constant failure is having a negative impact on everything else too.
Equally, might be some nice deliberate errors. Sort of like a trap street upon a map https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trap_street though in this case, not for copyright protection.

Scooters could be using NFC/RFID payments today (e.g., Apple pay) instead of QR codes. So you could just walk up, tap your phone, and go. UWB offers no real usability advantage here. Scooter companies don't use these methods because they want you to install their app for user retention reasons.

So what's missing in your scooter use case is a loyalty mechanism rather than a lack of payment technology.

Rookie move on Kickstarter's part, regardless. Even if Redwine had basically decided to stop working, it's probably less costly in reputational damage and legal risks to go through the usual process and give them a couple months pay. I'm pretty sure if Kickstarter had a relationship with a good union busting firm, they would have handled this in a much less damaging way.
Yeah because Comcast, EA, Verizon, and there are numerous private today constructions crews that aren't unionized and they are all known for great service. Unions have zero impact on quality or speed of work. All unions do is create a group of individuals to balance the power that corporations have. If unions had any real power in the United States, then wages wouldn't have failed to rise with the rate of efficiency for the last 50 years. Since Reagan went union busting wages have barely increased for the average worker against inflation. You know who has been getting more money? The corporate owners who have devalued all the public stocks while keeping the private stock for themselves. We don't live in a republic in the US anymore, we live in an oligarchy.

You know the single most efficient medical insurance? Medicare. Government doesn't need to be a bureaucratic mess, but when half of government is literally platformed on making government fail to prove government is broken, it's not really difficult to see why we're in the mess we're in. All I want is us to pay down our deficit instead of kicking the can down the road.

These festival though are not organized by delusional people who think the government is behind everything bad that happens to them. IIRC, the pages that organize this event has a million followers. That could easily translate into a thousand clueless people driving all into the desert with zero preparation, fleeing when local authorities try to help them, and blaming the lizardmen in power when some of them die of thirst.

If I were in a position of authority around there I would be far more concerned about the potential consequences than if there was a free drugs and sex open rave happening there.

A book I used the actual ideas from (rather than just studied) was The ABC's of Real Estate Investment by Ken McElroy. I also hired mentors that covered different aspects, from The Wealth Factory (A Garrett Gunderson company), Paradigm Life, and Rich Dad Advisors, among others.

The last has given me the most help and is the reason we have had the success we have so far experienced; Ironically, it tends to get down-voted with a quickness on HN. The principal (Kiyosaki) is quite controversial, maybe due to his anti-establishment method. That and possibly his crude language/delivery. He also has stretched the truth about his own experiences, another negative. But the basic knowledge is the same that has worked for Real Estate for many, many decades (more?).

The leverage is the same used in the USA for home mortgages - We put down 25% and the bank lends 75%. If you can take advantage of assistance programs (i.e. First Time Buyer, Military GI Loan, etc.) you may find even better terms for non-commercial residential (less than 5 doors).

Some of my mentors have recommended buying a duplex or triplex to get started, and living in one of the units. It can mess with the tax advantages, so work carefully with a CPA, but it can almost seem that financially, the tenants are paying your mortgage and basically buying the property for you.

I prefer always using a Property Manager - Less profit, but also no calls at 2:00am about plumbing issues, lost keys, etc.

No, it’s not false. AIPAC may have spoken against something very specific Israel did (such as denying American congresswomen entry) but in general, they and the Israeli lobby strong arm any opponents of Israeli policy.
Woah, those are some extreme views,

Chafing at the idea of a legal age of consent was a favorite theme of his, per his earlier blog posts. In 2003, he said, “I think that everyone age 14 or above ought to take part in sex, though not indiscriminately. (Some people are ready earlier.)”

In 2006, he said it wouldn’t so bad for an adult man who worked for the Department of Homeland Security to have sex with a 14-year-old, as one government employee had allegedly propositioned: “Supposing she had voluntarily had sex with him, presuming that they used a condom and suitable contraception, it would have done no harm to either of them.”
I just listened to the Sept 10 episode of the ADHD podcast because a developer that I respect, Brett Terpstra, was on it. He had a lot to say about the difficulties that ADHD brings to his life. He also talked about the anxieties of losing his prescription when he changed doctors. One size does not fit all. Some people WANT to influence their ADHD.
I don't think being able to conceal the camera is a concern. People can do that already, the ones that do are scum and people probably already avoid them, even if they don't know they're concealing a camera, just because they're creepy in general. I think it's more about it becoming acceptable that a camera is always pointed at you in typical day-to-day interactions with people that wouldn't normally creep you out.

UWB is for locating, not for data here.
Google has unlimited resources. Cores and codebase size don't matter to them. Only concern is what's on the critical path, e.g. final link step. It's very rare for builds to not be incremental. AFAIK JavaScript is the only language that can't be compiled incrementally. Probably the only engineers who would need to run a build solely on local hardware are ones that help support open source tools.

I am awed by the teen and his accomplishments to date. But serious question: how can this be used in vivo, say in the ocean?

The magnetite left behind seems toxic also. When I saw it being dropped in the water, I wondered how the fish are going to survive all that.

Microplastics that settle to the bottom of the ocean might be collected somehow. The rest are dispersed by ocean currents in a vast, vast volume of water, especially colloidal plastic. How would we have enough magnetite to do any of this?

I really hope there can be some plastic-eating bacteria that will break down microplastics and won’t get out of control and create a worse problem

https://www.popsci.com/bacteria-enzyme-plastic-waste/

However we as a society must switch away to biodegrdable plastics! Why haven’t we done this for decades, same as with electric cars? Governments are unwilling to use pigovian taxes and tariffs to subsidize eco-friendly alternatives.

One of the key things to remember about Fargate is the following.

I joined moonlightwork early on. Never have landed a job through it, or any other freelancing site (so I suppose I can't say whether it's any better or worse than the rest).

At various points throughout my career, I've fantasized about quitting Full time work and freelancing. I gave up on the idea after a few potential clients wanted me to work for peanuts.

Close as I got was a few short-lived negotiations where I refused to work for pay similar to what I made as a teenager bagging groceries.

Maybe I should start a lawncare business? It would be more lucrative than freelance software engineering, and at least it ought to be immune to offshoring.
You simply ask it (the AI entity) more and more questions, give it more facts and see if the answers make sense and it gets closer to what you consider cogent. Rinse and repeat. So far we’re far from it. It’s a very complicated problem that may not need to be solved. We have humans doing just that

> And in comparison to NCA cells, LFPs are much, much cheaper, exactly because of the aforementioned cobalt and nickel use. Phosphates are, after all, spent by tonnes as a fertiliser.

Is there a good source for LFP that actually is cheaper than plain lithium ion? I've been looking at doing an electric conversion, and it seems like they tend to run about $400-500 per kwh, whereas lithium ion tends to be more like $300-400. I can believe that LFP is cheaper to make, but if that were so, it seems like it ought to be reflected in retail prices unless vendors are selling them at a huge markup. (I've only looked into this recently, so I don't know if battery prices have spiked because of tariffs on China or something like that or this is just the normal retail price.)
I think this is the big one. Consoles and CoD dominated the market for a long time. Has the pendulum swung back towards PC games? I have to confess, it's been a long time since I played anything. Games dev companies just stopped making games for people like me.
