I'm grateful I was finally able to kick my gaming addiction. Better late than never, but I feel like I wasted too much of my 20s and now I'm already 30. I used to convince myself that it was fine as long as I was having fun. In hindsight I can finally see how much of a colossal waste of time it was. There is definitely some healthy level of gaming that can be done. However, when your priorities put gaming at the top and everything you do is in order to get back to gaming you should understand that it is a problem.

No one is saying that Blizzard has broken laws. People are expressing their displeasure about how Blizzard has chosen to exercise their rights.

I encourage you to hold companies to account for their actions even if those actions do not technically violate any laws.

On a basic level, yes. But what does the law consider to be reasonable? There are so many degrees of compliance, some of which often go against brand guidelines, against common js libraries, etc.

Sadly it's not a double standard if you define standard as income. In US it brings money to shout with lgbt in china it brings money to squash the shouting.

If you redefine your morals to money it works well. Not sure if that's good but it seems it happened.

Let's keep in mind the NYT was a Pulitzer finalist for its coverage of the scandal and other privacy-related projects that stemmed from it.
A good thing is making those mistakes but never landing most of them into production. It will boost your progress immensely if you have somebody available to critique and guide you in the right direction. Making mistakes but learning only a month later when significant amount of time has been wasted in wrong things won't make you any smarter than figuring them out before-hand. Also you'll be a lot less confident afterwards doing anything by yourself after such a disaster.

So no, don't make "ALL the mistakes". Learn by observing others around you, emulating it and then finally at some point understanding it clearly enough to make something completely novel.
It's just a high effort apocalypse larp.
>Keep in mind all of these new objects are quite small, just a few miles across. About a billion of them could fit inside Saturn's largest moon, Titan (seventeen were discovered).

With planets, we started getting too many "planets" when we discovered more and more really tiny ones, so we started coming up with new names for them: "dwarf planet", "Trojan", "asteroid", etc. A small rock in the asteroid belt orbits the Sun, but it still isn't called a "planet".

It sounds like we need to do something similar with moons, or else it's going to get out of control. There's likely an absurd number of small rocks orbiting Saturn and Jupiter; should they really all be called "moons"?

There is clear video proof that they beat up the protestors, they just don't want more videos out there. It's not speculation.
We're free to protest the move, but I'd hardly say that Apple should be forced by anyone to actually change their stance. It's their choice where they want to stand on public opinion - much as it's our choice to boycott Apple products or protest that decision they've made.
So....it's totally okay when radical 'leftists' in the West force censorship or boycotts or content removal under fake-tolerant progressive dogma. But if you need to respect the wishes of another country, it's not okay?

Because wouldn't worst thing to be labelled not an "ally" or anti-progressive?

The argument from Domino's was that you could still order over the phone, and thus they weren't discriminating against customers.
None of that matters. Haven't you been following any of these social media hate crime hoaxes and wars? Or watched _Ghost in the Shell_? It doesn't matter if there is no real bakery. Or a real bakery will be distorted by a game of Telephone by unscrupulous activists or journalists into something which vaguely looks right. And even if there is no such bakery, it may create a bakery: a real bakery will announce it's standing up for its principles and not baking for gay people, or a spat between a bakery and a gay couple (for completely other reasons unrelated to being gay) will be recycled, or heck, someone may step up to claim to be the bakery in question and to be fighting the good fight for Christianity. You might think, who would be so weird as to do that, as they must know what they are doing, but there are a lot of weird people out there and you only need one ( https://www.gwern.net/Littlewood ).

Keep your politics out of my games. It's the only way games are tolerable. I can't even keep up with having to mute/ignore people in games for their constant political rants, trolling, or other stupidity. I play games to have fun. I don't care about your causes. I don't care about your beliefs. I don't care about any problems in the world. Gaming is escapism. Piss off with that nonsense and find another venue. Blizzard was right, hands down.

That’s… plainly wrong. `npm unpublish --force your-package` would really just unpublish your package.
And then can be revoked, cancelled, traded, stripped etc.

My point isn't they don't exist as some inalienable thing on their own, they are result of negotiations. Hence the argument that 'rights' are something that can't be debated or negotiated is a mistake.

A bit of advice: don't put up barriers.

1. Take all the information in the PDF, and put it directly on the website. One click will see less drop-off than two.

2. Add links to your site on all social media posts. An HN user would have to copy-and-paste or type your domain name. Make it easy, like so:

Translation: "Let me dismiss and trivialize that which I'm too scared to admit might be true." Good luck keeping on pretending the opinions of a large chunk of the world don't exist, don't make sense or don't matter.

Or maybe it's you who needs to expand your mind, show a bit of empathy and try to understand the other side?

Sure, I guess it's easier to pretend the other side doesn't really exist, than to come to understand it. Keep arrogant and ignorant at your own peril. But I guess it's easier to close your mind and feel better by pretending it's wrong, than to try to know the rest of the world?
>The UK could have achieved a fund with roughly comparable contributions to Norway,

If the state took control of all oil revenues, then perhaps. But historically countries with the govt taking over such production have not done as well as those with private enterprise. Norway did well. Venezuela not so much. Middle East not so much.

>From a national perspective it would have been the much better choice to create a national fund in the sixties or seventies,

How has that action played out across all countries that tried it? Picking one after the fact that did well while ignoring cases where that action didn't do well is not a good way to push future policy.
The Earth has more than one moon. There are surely a bunch of very small rocks orbiting the Earth which we haven't discovered yet. And there was one other known moon of Earth, called 2006 RH120, in the last decade, but it was ejected.

Democracy is more important than Hearthstone - there are a ton of games to play and a ton of developers that have the ability to show a spine (which public companies may be mechanically missing).
The thing is, for every thing you said that includes "was because of" or some variant, the reality is that we don't have access to the counter-factual cases. We don't have any way of knowing, for example, if we would have Interstate Highways or not, had the federal government not been involved.

The same can be said for electrification, the Internet, etc.

statement of ignorance about history than a solid position.

I'm very familiar with the history. My point is that that is irrelevant, because, again, we don't know - and can't know - anything about the counter-factuals. To say, for example "we wouldn't have the Internet today without the USG" is speculation.
Although I agree that visuals are the most important part of the movie, I don't think that there is any necessity to try to eliminate the importance of sound.

However, I think movies are indeed the best piece where "show, don't tell" works. There are some easy examples, like instead of writing the place and time on screen, introduce a short scene with some memorable monument, a newspaper, a dialogue causally mentioning the place. Make the scene time obvious.

Rather than reflecting some internal dialogue explaining the protagonist's mood, use music and facial expressions.
This looks good, but just plain RSS is still the best way, by far, to follow dev blogs.
I admit I tend to reflexively look down on comments that throw around terms like "SJW" unironically. But the rest of your comment belies some of the most profound ignorance I've seen in awhile. Did you Google "offends a portion or group of the public", and, finding no literal matches prior to GamerGate circa 2014, conclude that moral clauses did not simply exist before the "pre-SJW era"? Do you believe it was SJWs that forced the U.S. Olympic Committee to punish Tommie Smith and John Carlos for holding up their fists on the Olympic podium?

> The USOC issued an apologetic statement condemning the athletes’ “untypical exhibitionism,” which violated “the basic standards of good manners and sportsmanship, which are so highly valued in the United States.” [0]

Morals clauses for athletes have existed since for athletes at least 1922, according to Wikipedia [1].

Also, there's an argument to be had over the unbacked assertion that "SJWs" were the reason behind the "offends a portion or group of the public", as opposed to, the actual thing that that clause is now being used to punish. You know what else happened around the same time as the "SJW era"? China becoming a world-dominant economic and political force.

>Has this ever happened before in Nobel history?

In recent years the nobel committee has been grouping unrelated prizes in the same field.

For example the parasitology prize a few years ago for treating two different parasite diseases (roundworm/malaria).

I think its a good thing. It takes two similar discoveries, neither of which are big enough to warrant a solo prize and combines them to give credit to a field which has made advances. I was working in a parasitology department at the time and people were losing their minds about how awesome it was that the field was acknowledged on a world stage.
> The idea that the discussion of a supreme court nominee being a rapist is what is dangerous, and not the fact that a supreme court nominee is a rapist, is frankly sickening.

Not in general. There's damage, and there's collateral damage. Sometimes discussions do more damage than their topic. For instance, a journalist writing an article in a popular newspaper that some doctors are considering violating patient confidentiality in cases of admission of crime, and people reading and reposting it, is much more dangerous than the ultimate decision of those few doctors.

Petty gibes aside, Michael Bay is a good example of what I'm talking about. You can listen to his movies without watching and understand, more or less, what's going on because the characters explain everything they're doing. His movies would be better if he only showed explosions and opted out of dialogue explaining what the explosion meaans to the plot.
Certainly a book on this topic should be far more interesting than this article makes it look, so rather than dismiss the book out of hand I took a look around.

After looking briefly at the companion site for the book [0] (not much there), then the publisher's page on the book [1] (ditto) I took a look at the table of contents on Amazon [2]. Definitely there are some very interesting items there that I wish they'd used for this article, like:

* Experts sketch: [They] externalize their thoughts

* Experts work with uncertainty: [They] keep options open

* Experts test: [They] are alert to evidence that challenges their theory

Unfortunately, there are no samples of those chapters. Looks like it could be an interesting read, though.
