Finally this is proven. It is by no means surprising. Wild domestic pigs, which I know are a different species, are a plague in much of North America and Australia partially due to their intelligence. Half the North American pig problem is in Texas where an estimated 2-2.5 million pigs roam the country side. Because they are such a threat to the environment and their population is so out of control there is no limit on hunting them in either season or quantity.

Pigs are particularly challenging to control because of their intelligence and lack of predators. Because of their size, intelligence, and aggressiveness they have no natural predators in Texas. They are quick to learn of hunting traps and will either avoid or disarm them. A herd of pigs reduced in population by 70% can rebound within 2-3 years without continued management.

They tear up the land and are a serious threat to the natural ecology and food supply. Their damage to commercial agriculture is estimated at $50 million per year, but their damage to property and the environment is estimated at close to half a billion each year. Because of their high intelligence they are adapting their range from rural areas to suburbs and urban areas. Unlike coyotes, which have also adapted from rural to urban areas with great success, they are often not afraid of people are known to hurt people in attacks.

Yea, I have a major problem with how they did that one also. That's not proof or causation, it's at most correlation. But there's no way to normalize for variable independence. If a 99 year old was on life support when the power went out and died a month earlier than they otherwise would have, that got counted. But Maria didn't kill that person. I get that this is somewhat debatable semantics, but it shouldn't be.

And that's my point. There are really two sets of numbers that are being called the same thing when they clearly are not.
So lets say you have a public airway to provide TV on and let's say you also own a cable company. Should you be allowed to show ads for that cable company and block ads for commercials at the same rate you charge some soda company for the same time slot for an ad from the satellite company that happens to compete with the cable company you own? Your method of broadcast is over a public owned spectrum. That is the issue. Even for cable, the rights for you to deliver that service is over public land.
> For steaming fine but not on PUBLIC spectrum.
I have to call BS on this. I'm paying for the service and the bandwidth. It often goes over public land or utilities, or at least not over pipes owned by Disney, so if the ad is loaded client side, then Disney is SOL and shouldn't have a say in it.

That said, ads suck, blah blah and I personally don't care.
Not much different to installing things on a desktop OS.
It's way more complex than that. Pretty much everyone in government and the crypto space doesn't want Libra to succeed under it's current stewardship. The implications are very far reaching. Also, there isn't a single cryptocurrency today that can't be tracked, even ones like Monero.
Not the metropolitan areas, though.

What a “city” is depends on your local history and how arbitrary political lines in the sand were drawn.
Should have been more specific as to which industry I was referring to regarding the resume comment.

I worked for a big bank for 5 years supporting large trading systems. After the 3rd attempt to retire a legacy trading system by rolling out a new system, someone pointed out that if you are a mid level manager you don't get any resume points for refactoring old systems.

Hence, you keep trying to roll out new systems even if those systems have bugs like "switch all buy orders to sells" (true story).
But apparently people watch streams of other people playing poker. How is this not considered an unsporting behaviour as it clearly disrespects the audience?
I've always wondered how birds evolved to fly. It seems like wings are useless until they can fly.
Except that

1. Same has been said of Bitcoin, and yet the government kinda embraced it.

2. Facebook is not making Libra. It is a non-profit based in Switzerland.

3. Libra is backed by USD-EUR-JPY and the related countries might turn a blind eye because of that.

I'm inclined to agree. A big part of my satisfaction with Prime is simply being able to read the descriptions and explore the metadata, leading me to something I might really enjoy without a preview hijacking my sensorium.

What Netflix does is stressful and makes me avoid engaging with their catalog. It's insane they won't let us control that one aspect.

My second frustration was when they crippled their catalog API, forcing abetterqueue offline. I'd plan my entire season around that, and now I feel like I only have what their algorithm recommends to my TV's app, which is usually garbage because my SO and I share an account.

Prime is far from perfect, but it does less wrong, and what that tells me is that maybe Netflix isn't for me.

I found it interesting that many of these things you could also say about humans. Massive populations, no predators anymore, environmental damage, intelligence ...
Sim City (especially later versions) has generally been built around models based on American car-centric planning. The game very much encourages sprawl-style development.
I agree. I have not had TV service for 10+ years. Amazon and Netflix and VPN (from USA) so we can watch BBC. Dear BBC if you read this - allow non-UK to pay the TV license even at 4x the cost. You will sell it.
Hulu has ads. Any others?
I actually think the "changing cards" situations were the stream employees seeing the action and finding it so implausible that he was playing a given hand that way, and inadvertently gaslighting everyone by overwriting the graphics based on their assumptions. So they weren't necessarily complicit, but were sort of forced to cover for him because they couldn't say "Hm, maybe he's just cheating" to explain the insane moves hew as making.
Good question. I don't know if there are any objective criteria, given that the difference between a propaganda campaign and a more benign information campaign is often pretty blurry and subjective.

I think the best bet is to call out (or at least note) the common patterns as they pop up. For example, I know you happen to hold a dim view of accusing others of "whataboutism", but that does happen to be a very common form of modern-day organically-spreading propaganda ("Who are you to say my country does evil things when your country does evil things, too?", says the accidental propagandist, forgetting that two wrongs don't make a right and that one country doing evil things does not excuse another country from doing evil things), and it's important to be able to identify that for what it is. Granted, sometimes that line of thinking is often valuable in the reverse (i.e. "I don't think it's right that your country is doing this evil thing, so I shouldn't be okay with my country doing a similar evil thing."), but it doesn't seem like those sorts of comparisons are typically done with that sort of self-awareness or good-faith desire to understand the other side of the debate.
This is also not uncommon. I've seen similar at Oaks, Bay 101, Wynn, Casino Arizona, Commerce, and probably others as well. I tend to believe that it shouldn't be allowed, if only for the pace of the game, but it's not unique to Stones.
Fun lithium fact: while most people start the lithium story with Cade (indeed, there's a form of lithium-responsive bipolar disorder which was sometimes called Cade's disease), it was previously used by Lincoln's surgeon general, William Hammond, to treat manic excitement (in the form of lithium bromide). But Hammond thought it was the bromide, not the lithium, that did the trick.

1) Buy-side and sell-side are completely different beasts.

2) Even today, bonds are traded OTC and mostly by people. In the 1990's, 100% of bonds were traded by people. Bond market cap dwarfs equity market cap.

3) Exotic OTC options were a big thing in the 80s and 90s. While that's not true today, when they existed, all of those were traded by people as well.

4) Most hedge funds today manage their positions with excel and trade based on analyst recommendations. They might have some fancy factor ops engine or something, but it's basically an after thought.

5) Around the dotcom boom, Goldman's equity desk had over 500 traders.

Fundamentally we are talking about a lot of different things. Different asset classes, buy-side vs sell-side, NYSE systems vs pit traders, etc etc. We can slice and dice these numbers in many different ways: total number of discretionary firms vs quant, trade volume vs assets, buy-side vs sell-side, etc etc. There's many ways to look at it that result in different conclusions. All I'm saying is that computerized trading is probably not yet the dominant paradigm and it certainly wasn't the dominant paradigm in 2007, much less 1990.
Of course they're used for security -- VPNs are a hassle for users and admins, it'd be easier for everyone (except security!) if all internal apps were just public on the internet.

VPNs are a band-aid / work-around for "we don't have strong authentication and authorization on all services". That's fine, not everyone can do the latter, and they can provide some safety v.s. the anonymous attacker case. But too often they lure IT environments into a false sense of security.

That is the primary way that most people interact with a computer and has been for years, so "second nature" seems pretty accurate. The people "stumbling around" are the ones with the VR goggles strapped to their heads, getting headaches and vertigo and running into furniture.

I feel like anything that can throw more than a few pounds nearly 1000 feet has to be good for something. I kind of want to make one out of square section steel now-- I'm guessing that at 20 feet and 2000 or so pounds you could get quite a bit of velocity even on a bowling ball.

I dropped multiple dress sizes by improving my nutrition. I also got my younger son to drop weight without dieting by buying him dark chocolate as a means to discourage him from eating chocolate pop tarts. I learned he was eating chocolate pop tarts all day, concluded he was specifically craving cocoa and found him a better source of cocoa so he could get enough cocoa with fewer calories.

I suspect obesity is frequently due to getting too little nutrition while getting enough/too much in the way of calories. You keep eating precisely because you are malnourished and it fosters cravings.
Library author here. I'm sorry you found the wording confusing. I was trying to talk generally about the non-library types: things like int and long. The C++ standard guarantees that there exists an integer type that is at least 64-bits large (`long long` and `unsigned long long`), and many platforms support a type like __int128 that is 128 bits large. Unfortunately, the documentation is slightly out of date. clang has some bugs that cause the compiler to crash if you use __int128 or __uint128 in certain situations (which my library uses), so I had 128-bit support on only in gcc. However, my library is currently making use of C++20 concepts, and only a branch on clang supports that enough, so the master version of my library can be compiled only by clang, so the largest size currently allowed is a 64-bit integer (either signed or unsigned, the library handles that for you).

I'll make sure to update the documentation.
Bitcoin mining is actually quite centralized in a few players; and the exchanges have established offices. The gov.s could have done some serious damage.

The "solution" relies on the fact that positive numbers arbitrarily close to 0 are still technically positive. If you assume that the range of numbers is finite, the solution is much more intuitive. If you assume that the range of numbers is actually infinite, and don't use a misleading python program, a win ratio of "0.5 + unknowably arbitrarily small episilon" is the least impressive "strictly greater than 0.5" you can imagine.

You can't win real money gambling in this game if you actually have infinite range of numbers.

Notice how the things you listed as cheap have lots of competition.

The expensive things have government granted monopolies or psuedo-monopolies.

And before anyone says healthcare providers don't have a monopoly, it that case, the insurers have a defacto monopoly due to the enormous regulatory moat that was built around them.

Foods That Damage Your Teeth – Wave Magazine
First, this guy has said that he is not exceptional at MMA. If you watch his fights you see that they aren't competitive. It is clear he isn't being pushed, a few strikes and the other guy gives up, usually without having been able to throw anything that looks like a dangerous punch.

MMA is as close as we get to being able to see real fights over and over. There has been vale tudo in Japan but these fights and fighters were so rare they only gave a glimpse into the patterns that would emerge.

The argument over 'street fights' and 'different rules' has been around for a long time, but the fact is that when MMA fighters end up fighting 'on the street' or in a bar, they win. Being in a different setting doesn't change the enormous skill gap in fighting. Anything the other guy can do the trained person can do too. It doesn't somehow swing things in the other direction. Do you really think some untrained person is going to suddenly be able to eyepoke better than someone who has been boxing for years? Do you think an untrained person is going to be able to break the arm of someone who has taken years of jiu jitsu and practices keeping their arms safe for many hours every week?
Read the article expecting to find a review of different apps and ecosystems, maybe some big picture thinking.

Instead I read a description of Apple products and a sales pitch for OP’s company.

Title is perhaps a tad inaccurate.
5 or 7??

I can easily imagine much more things simultaneously:

1, 2: 2 cars are parked at the side of the road

3: a third car is driving and going to pass the 2 parked cars.

4: a cat runs out from between the parked cars on the street

5: a dog chases the cat

6: with a pulled taut leash

7: pulling the dog's owner on the sidewalk out of balance,

8, 9: causing the owners hat to fly off, and her groceries to fall out of her free arm

10: a fourth car crashes into the surprised car

11: an elderly couple looking at the scene in pure horror

...

Now if you meant we could only hold 5 or 7 scenes or complex thoughts at once, then yeah, that could be true depending on the complexity of those thoughts or scenes.
I’m not saying it’s not significant. Just clarifying what the article is talking about.
Bitcoin does not have an "office" that governments can raid. Governments never embraced Bitcoin, they have no choice. It is not within reach of their usual methods of control (law enforcement, diplomacy, warfare).
At UC Davis the Sheilds library has a 24 hour room, and during finals week at the entire library has extended hours.

It's nice to see feudalism is coming back. To all the services that these companies already provide, for which employees won't pay taxes (and neither will companies, due to clever tax schemes), now we add health care. Housing will be next, if not already. Legal services, transportation, food, healthcare, housing, nursery, all gross-income 100% deducted: zero sales tax, minimum income tax, in the most liberal state, by the most liberal people.

Large company-states are not that far off.
Global EV Sales – August 2019
It's actually my understanding that the core of Medallion is the data processing engine. The models themselves aren't that much more advanced than everybody else (iirc). Rather, financial data is extraordinarily noisy and often not i.i.d. and thus things like deep networks, applied alone, will drown in noise. The use of techniques from advanced statistical signal processing, information theory, conpressed sensing, information geometry, etc. allows the data processing engine to automatically and autonomously extract this signal from a sea of noise.
Finding the easiest way to solve a problem given constraints is a poor exemplar of propaganda. I’m sure it is and was possible to build perfectly lovely car centric cities in various Sim City games.

If your problem is congestion you need to increase capacity. This requires either bigger tubes (freeways instead of single lane roads) or fitting more stuff into the same tubes, greater pressure (a tram or some other form of rail). If you want to maintain a historic city you can’t do a total rebuild so you can’t build freeways. Thus rail is the only solution apart from congestion charges.

Reality constrains possible solutions. If you model reality in a game the solutions won’t be too much different.
The bounded::integer types accept three template parameters: `integer<min, max, overflow_policy>`. That final parameter can be bounded::throw_policy, which is itself templated on the exception type thrown. The default exception policy is "overflow is undefined behavior". The other two policies supported out of the box are wrapping / modulo and saturation / clamping.
That's pretty much what I said.
This whole post repeats everything I've been saying while also threatening me with the ban hammer. I am saying that you are missing the big picture. There are much bigger problems here than school yard insults that go unaddressed here, as mentioned multiple times.

This whole line of thinking exemplifies why tech bros at places like Facebook and Twitter are so tone deaf to this whole problem.

You draw the line at "LMAO" but allow pro eugenics posts through?

Here's one in 2018:

Eugenics has a bad name, but it is scientifically valid. We now know that genetics play a huge role in life outcomes (e.g. adult IQ appears to be 70-80% heritable) and, for better or for worse, the eugenicists were right, even if their methods were morally wrong.
We don't focus enough on positive eugenics: getting smart, non-violent and conscientious people to have large families. Right now we do the opposite: smart folks feel all sorts of pressures to have a small or no family due to careers, the expense of elite schooling, the environment, etc. The opening scene of Idiocracy nailed it.

Fair enough. I wasn’t thinking of the language actually, more of how they use the painting canvas. The fact that scripts belong to tangible things and not some abstract “background”. Compare VBA and formulas in excel. Formulas naturally belongs to their cells, which is simple, but vba exists in this ambient thing that requires an entirely different abstract model to grasp.
So streaming as a commodity?

Perhaps if Internet service were regulated like a utility then paying for fragmented streaming wouldn't be so bad. As it is just a few hundred megabits per second rivals the cost of television cable in my parent's time.
