I'm sorry for whoever got shot there. Really.

But still I think it wasn't an impulse. Or, more likely the impulse was a manifestation of some deeper problem. The one everyone either couldn't see or chose to neglect. But it was there for a long long time.

All in all I wish everyone still alive would get out of this fine. Meanwhile, I have to go fetch a beretta 92fs so if such shit decides to happen to me, I at least will have a chance to do something. And do it in style.
The Hamina data center is close to Russia without being in Russia. I guess it's the closest Google is comfortable at being when serving Russian customers.

In the north data centers can double as heating power plants when coupled with district heating. It's unfortunate that Google puts the excess heat into the sea. Yandex has a big data center in Mäntsälä. Their cooling water is used for heating the area. There are also data centers in Helsinki where heat is used in district heating.
the body language is unnverving. the insincere tics in the faces of the young women, the stilted swinging of the shoulders, the weak fist-squeezing of the young men with the awkward eye-popping. The deer in headlights postures...

it all just reeks of coercion and young people trying to please but afraid and uncomfortable. Perhaps it's just a bad video director. Maybe the video director is trying to communicate their own discomfort. Maybe the producers see it all and delight in how much power they have... This video is evidence of their grip.
Mario Teaches Typing 2 was released in 1996 for PC and Mac. There are the mobile games for ios/android. And I saw an article that they were going to release some older (emulated) titles for nvidia shield in China.

Up to you how much of that counts.

I'm a living example of this.
I remember playing one of these games. It was super cool that you got to play as Zelda, but the controls where so unresponsive and awful. That ruined most of the experience. The graphics where very different then the competitors. That was also pretty cool. Think we borrowed the player from someone else for a couple of weeks. Thinks we knew more about the cd I because of my Dutch roots (philps). Also the console/video player was incredibly expressive at the time.
Steam? How about pretty much every digital storefront? You can't sell prime movies, you can't sell iTunes music and so on. All of these store fronts should ideally allow people to resell all digital content they purchased.

But uBlock Origin keeps me safe online.

I'm sympathetic to concerns about people who don't know what they're doing, but if I'm a Safari user, I have to value keeping myself safe first. This change makes ordinary users safer, but makes power users less safe.

I understand why Apple is doing it. But I'm still going to advise responsible owners to ditch Safari and pick a browser that will do a better job of blocking trackers.
In the USA poachers take deer with .22 LR

It's quiet and works just fine to kill one. Hunter associations want to cut down on deer that aren't killed quickly so they require larger ammo
Are these sock puppets here also part of that campaign?
This really isn’t true. Chinese have songs, they have popular music groups, many like K pop or K dramas, many like costume dramas or going for a night out to sing karaoke. Soccer is really popular, basketball is too for some strange reason. Heck, just say you are American in Beijing and taxi drivers will most definitely ask you about the NBA (if you can speak Chinese).

There is a lot of selection bias in generalizing about a culture via its world travelers :).

The state really sucks at propaganda though, so it shouldn’t be surprising that efforts like this are filled with lots of cringe. It definitely shouldn’t be considered pop culture.
GP currently has the ability to buy a product in a way they like (not purchasing resale rights that they don't want.)

Somebody wants to take that away from them.

GP is upset they're losing the freedom to do business in the way they like.

You're calling their view Orwellian because French Big Brother knows what ownership rights they really want to purchase?

It's not Orwellian, it's just a complicated issue of how intellectual property law affects consumers.
I would say that C++ is closer to Java than JavaScript is; it's fairly easy to copy-paste and edit C++ code into a Java file with, just changing a small amount of syntax and get rid of the manual memory allocations.

Try copy-pasting JS into a Java file, and there are semantics there that are completely foreign; you can't simply translate it.

There's the problem of needing escrow for selling the game in that scenario; if, say, they implement game resale as "You can ask Steam to cut your access and give you a unique code someone else can enter to gain access," there's the problem that if I buy that code from you, I have no knowledge of if it'll actually work when I get home (maybe you sold it twice?).

... and then Steam can offer payment via their in-store currency (with x% shaved off the top) to basically serve as an escrow intermediary. Win-win for everyone except the developers deprived of first-sales by the new resale market.
This was my feeling as well. It feels more like a humblebrag than anything. My own 11 year old loves popular music and would probably carry me to work every day on his back if I let him get a smartphone.
Thank you very much. The work seems very complex. At the moment, I am at work on a windows PC. I have exceed and xming started and I have a toolbar with around 70 putty shortcuts with X11 forward.

In order to combat vile trolling and direct incitement to violence, Twitter has taken it upon themselves to moderate other behaviors as well.

There are historic tweets from senior people at Twitter which today would get banned.

As an example, if I were to the r-word, I could get the hammer, depending if it’s noticed or not. I do not use the r-word. I think it’s in poor taste and reflects badly on one’s upbringing to use it, but yet I think in addition to being vernacular, we should not ban people for using “bad” words, of for this word to consider it hateful (at least in most contexts).
So the end result must be that licenses can't take away your resale rights.

There are plenty of sports that have been made illegal, and plenty of sports that have been reformed to avid that fate. I can see we're not going to agree on regulation of sports and other activities, so ok. Not the main question anyway. And btw I appreciate your engagement on all of this.

Gun ownership is only a right because a law says so, and laws are made by people. Things change. People change. Technology changes. The US constitution has been amended 27 times, and amendments have been revised or revoked by other amendments. Just look at what happened to the 18th. If you want to keep the 2nd, you'll need a better argument than because it's an amendment.

>We don’t tell free speech advocates to find ways to limit hate speech or we ban all free speech, why would we approach this any differently?

What forms of speech are allowable or not is up for debate. There are plenty of things it is illegal to say or print, and even most free speech advocates will agree with many restrictions. Free speech advocates have to fight cases all the time though, it's a constant struggle as to what can or cannot be said. Why should firearms, which weapons can or cannot be owned or carried in public, be any different?

Nobody is talking about banning all guns. That's a complete straw man. I'm not talking about banning anything. I think most people campaigning for gun restrictions aren't trying to ban all guns, or even most guns. What I'm saying though, is this is a question for you.

What is your answer, and that of your community, to this problem?

Do you think the current rate of mass shootings in America and gun deaths in general is acceptable, and if not how does it get under control?

You can't resell your copy of Windows, I don't see how games are much different.

I think at least one likely result would be many fewer deep discount sales. Having them would allow a resell arbitrage as people stocked up at the low price in order to resell when the sale ends.
Longer ago, if you didn't adapt well to combat, you probably died. A fair percentage of green troops won't shoot to kill, and they suffer fairly high casualty rates.

Anecdotally, it seems to me that my acquaintances who were actual combat veterans in WW II, Korea and Vietnam were much less enthusiastic about the military than those who served in peacetime or were in non-combat roles.
A monopoly that keeps prices artificially low for years, drives everyone out of business, and then raises prices to make up for the years of lost profit -- I'd like to hear one example - it's never happened as far as i know.

Most monopolies have been government granted - railroads through free land, AT&T by creation, etc.
Absolutely! For years I’ve had my phone on a mode where I do not get notified of anything but emails and all the special VIP stuff so my wife/family can reach me. It actually began because a bud of mine tends to text like he is on AIM. He will send three words at a time and blow me up with a dozen notifications for one cognitive thought.

Anyway... my phone is beholden to me. I choose when I open apps. I have notifications disabled for virtually everything. I also have it on perma-silent. It will vibrate once for certain things... and ring only when those aforementioned special people call me. At 9pm it goes into do not disturb. At 7am it goes back to normal.

My wife on the other hand... good grief. She is a solo dog walker / sitter and is getting bookings CONSTANTLY. Her phone sounds like R2-D2 having an aneurism. I’m working on her... but she has insane FOMO since she is still gaining a strong foothold in our community. It’s tough to talk to her about this stuff because she’s right in the midst of it: anxious, worried she will miss client messages, worried she will miss a booking, etc... so until that dies down a bit it’s not even worth pursuing with her. I hope she can eventually get to this level, though, and realize that she will be much happier when she controls her attention instead of allowing others to do it.
I dont see why they would need to create the marketplace themselves. Why couldn't they just let users convert purchased titles back into keys and then sell them on tons of third party key sellers that already exist?
To add, I see down at the bottom people fighting over "consistency".

Wind power is almost always producing something. This production can be statistically modeled. Thus, you can overprovision wind and say that on average, your target of <x> MW is met or exceeded <y> percent of the time. So wind, if planned well, doesn't really need big storage.

Baseload generation is also a fallacy. It only matters that demand is met. Wind has already become the "baseload" in the UK in that wind operators always undercut everyone else on the market, thus displacing other generation.

Baseload demand is the point which demand never falls below. Back in the age of coal, it made sense to meet this baseload demand with large baseload plants, that were big and did not change output and gained economies of scale.

One challenge that I think people overlook in the shift to renewables is grid frequency stability. Big thermal plants have heavy rotors that have a lot of inertia, stopping the grid frequency from changing too quickly in an imbalance. Replace these with inertia-less wind and solar, and you will need another solution for grid stability.
>Once voters realize that this would take personal cost for benefits they won't see in their lifetime, I can't see them willfully voting for any substantial reversal.

At first I was known as that pushup guy at the office, then all the guys did it with me. It was almost a joke. "Alright, it's pushup time!" and my group did pushups. We even got a pullup bar installed. Some people preferred to take those times to walk a lap outside.

If we're going to generalize about what can/can't be done at a software developer job, punctuating the job with some brief exercise is in the "can" camp.
If you sell items from certain games (like CSGO) or redeem a gift card, you get credit applied to your steam account. This can be used to purchase games, then you could (hypothetically) sell them for real-world cash.

Not sure how much he paid for it, but my brother actually bought one of these travesties online not that long ago, so he could get the "real" experience playing these games on it. It looks like a VCR but feels like a lead brick to lift.
I think we can make useful distinctions here between Google services.

- Google Search/Ads and Google Cloud are money makers. They are constantly improved, handled with care and have prices comparable to the competition, maybe slightly lower

- Chrome is costing massive amounts of money. Between the massive development effort and the big worldwide marketing campaigns Google must have spent billions on Chrome in a play to protect their other services and dictate web standards. Android also belongs in this category, dictating a massive portion of the mobile market

- GMail/GSuite, Youtube, Google Home etc probably about break even. Like the previous category they are strategic plays aimed at controlling a market, and they are great for the brand. But since their markets are less valuable they are the step children

- lastly we have the experiments. Google has cut most of them, and you are probably better off not using them at all

I don't have access to the article - does anyone know what they mean by "sedentary"? From the abstract it looks like there was an 80%/10k reduction in steps taken, which would mean these are people taking ~12.5k steps a day. Is that what they mean by active, or was there a requirement for, e.g., vigorous cardiovascular exercise?

Or just let people do act as resellers of your product.

Presumably Valve is doing this hyper-low prices because they have the ability to and it makes the customers happy. They might decide to thumb their noses at everyone and say "okay fine, you guys are the secondary market now, figure it out yourselves, but we have no reason to give games away for free or sell them for 95% off"
Looking at the last week's production, there's a fair way to go before gas is only being used at times of scarcity: https://electricityproduction.uk/from/all-sources/?t=7d

Notice how the gas usage cycles up and down, tracking the inverse of solar and wind. But add another 10GW of wind and solar, which is likely by the mid 2020s, and gas won't be used at all pretty often. But it isn't going away completely unless storage gets much cheaper.

The biggest challenge now is to start moving residential heating from gas to electric heat pumps. That's a large fraction of our CO2 emissions, and it requires individuals to spend money.
And what is the median? Is it for new cars only?
Does this ruling affect all of the EU?
You are incorrect. All CSS units are defined in a resolution-dependent way. (I think there has only every been one exception to this, an experimental unit `mozmm`, now discontinued, that attempted to be resolution-independent, representing one physical millimetre.) On screen, the px unit is king, being defined however the device chooses to define it—most commonly one or two device pixels. All other units are defined in terms of it: 1in = 96px = 72pt, &c. On print, the ratios are the same, but physical length units actually have meaning now, corresponding to physical measurements—well, maybe they do; in practice browsers play fast and loose with it all, second-guessing the website’s stylesheets all over the place, which is normally a good thing for users because few websites take care for print stylesheets, but is utterly debilitating if you actually care and want precision.

Now the question of what the root font-size is (a unit I like to call “browser em” or “bem”—I’ve never heard anyone else give it a proper name)—that’s a much more interesting question. It’s almost always 16px (I have no stats ready to hand, but I’d suggest >99% of page views), but there are devices out there that have other values, mostly between 13px and 19px, and you can change the value in some browsers also. However, website layouts commonly break if the value is not 16px, if the font sizes are based in bems and media queries in px, or font sizes in px and media queries in bems, and the developers have assumed 16px (which is completely normal). The ideal situation is to use either px everywhere or bem everywhere.

In theory, using relative units everywhere is potentially nicer. In practice, you’re fine using pixel units everywhere.

But 24px is still way too big.
They could.

... but they could also offer the option of doing that, but alternatively just letting you transact the game to another Steam user directly, using the in-store currency (with an x% shaved off the top) for the cost of Steam basically working as an escrow service (to guarantee you haven't done something like converted to a key and then sold that key twice).

If doing so is fully compliant with the law, I predict that's what they would do (and it's probably worth the cost to them to pay the lawyers to argue that's fully compliant... ;) ).
> Are you sure about that?

Yes.

If I look at my garden, and I say "gee, it's all yellow flowers... I'd like some red and purple ones, too", it's kinda nutty to think I'm saying "I'm going to rip out all the yellow flowers and burn them".
Exactly. You look at this, remember that it'll be making its way around the world (slowly at first, admittedly) and it's impossible to ignore the little internal voice where your conscience used to be whispering "kill yourself".
That's when it's some form of problem. But just as you (should) go to a dentist or doctor routinely when you're not having a problem, you can do that as well with a therapist.

I think your point is that people will recognize these faces as not being real, or maybe at least feel like they are "off" in some way, but can't put their finger on it...

Maybe I missed your point though....
Users could sell their accounts without that requirement.

But Steam already has an extensive digital goods resale platform for all sorts of things from trading cards to in game items it actually includes gifted games (not sure if you can sell these but certainly you can transfer them).
