Yes, makes sense that it has to read them (and presumably calculate a hash and send that hash to your service) to deduplicate; in this case, it took multiple days to complete the process.

"This could be because Chuck Salituro, the senior news director of ESPN, sent a memo to shows mandating that any discussion of the Daryl Morey story avoid any political discussions about China and Hong Kong, and instead focus on the related basketball issues."

You are free to talk about Chinese government, only when you are not pissing off Chinese government. How nice!
This is a great question. I had exactly the same thought some time ago and was scratching my head where the extra mass was coming from.

Short answer, it pulls oxygen from the air to make the CO2. Most of the mass of CO2 is from the O2 that came from the air, not the tank.
Maybe it's different for movies. I thought show don't tell was at a higher level than "he was nervous". It's more you can tell "James Bond is a super spy, he's super fit, and he's super suave" or you can show him early on doing things that demostrate he's fit, he's suave, and he's a spy and so no need to tell.

I'm no longer a Star Wars fan and these are not good movies IMO but this video essay on The Force Awakens vs Rouge One is a good example of show vs tell

Yes, because it's not more difficult to build a third city than a first city. It's equally difficult. So there are not diminishing returns like the ones I described in my post. Although it's hard to get over the hump of the first city's network effects and get started.
I think I was unclear. I was not referring to a hypothetical developer. I was characterizing your caricature as that reframing of the discussion because the way you're approaching this verges on disingenuity.
>The problem is that since these companies control services so valuable to me, anyone who wishes to hurt me for any reason can do it through them. Since no one is paying them to defend me -- I'm certainly not -- they have no resources commensurate with the value of what they're defending.

I think that's beautiful, actually. Your ability to stay within this mini-society's good graces is entirely dependent on how you treat other people, and not on how much wealth you funnel in from the outside (to a degree).
A conspicuous hatch in the ground isn't that interesting, but when you cover it with leaves and twigs and give it a weathered look, it suddenly becomes the most interesting thing in the world.
I feel like the "authoritarian capitalism" trope is inaccurate.

China introduced some elements of capitalism and liberty into its economy, but clearly retains government control over what would otherwise be independent companies.

Whether it chooses to exercise that control is immaterial -- the CCP obviously believes very strongly that if needed it has that control.

And legally, it does.

In that respect, China looks much more like the late-stage Soviet Union, where a diversity of political power groups (some allied, some opposed) give the illusion of a free market to a command economy.
So, their own independent appraisal says they were overpaid by $7 million for their PA house. I would think that investing that money in a stupidly safe fund would result in more in interest/appreciation than the difference in taxes.

One-percenter problems.

I wouldn’t say that an environment that takes humans years to master and many hours to comprehend most interactions therein in detail is simple. The rules are not that complex but the interactions between game elements as well as agents are. Those AIs also need to deal with highly trained human opponents.

Real-world relevance is orthogonal to complexity.
Nat Friedman's Letter to GitHub Employees Reagrding Working With US Government
There's been evidence for a while that these safety systems do cause drivers to not pay as much attention:

https://www.wired.com/2011/07/active-safety-systems-could-cr...

Like this article says, in city traffic that's stop and go, these systems could prevent rear-endings. But it could also make drivers more complaisant and not pay as much attention in situations where these systems don't work as well (higher speeds on freeways or with pedestrian detection).
You know how in GDB you can see the lines you are working on? Really I just want that to have color, like I do in vim. We don't like in 1970 anymore. We have color. The other thing I want is that while editing I can add break point.

Maybe I'm too young (28), but how I read your and the parent's comment is "My workflow has been working fine, why improve it?" which sounds weird to me. There's always room for improvement.
I don’t really care what Libra is on launch. What I really care about is the potential of the technologies behind Libra and what Libra can become.

The most decentralized and trussfree system right now is probably Bitcoin, which I wouldn’t say it is decentralized on day 1. But it is the fundamental of what we have today (which I admit it isn’t that much), and what we can achieve tomorrow. It is the potential excites me.

People doesn’t need to trust FB, or any other companies relates to FB. But you can audit the open sourced code and evaluate how much do you want to trust the code. This is simply not possible with traditional technologies. So I will say it is a net improvement. As long as it is not a regression, I want to see it happen.
Claims for what?

People would also have to leave their house and go make an argument in front of a judge... seems unlikely.
> I feel like this is sufficient to refute your several oncologists' anecdotal opinions which are not supported by the research.

It's not. Unless you have the appropriate training and experience, you are not capable of making treatment recommendations.

Sorry if that seems harsh, but this is not something you can just Google your way through. This is not one of those things where you can find the hidden truth by reading a few things online and posting citations.

You either have medical training or you don't. If you don't, be very careful about make big medical decisions based on a few things you read online. Plenty of people apply the same heuristic to decide that vaccines are bad, homeopathy works, you can treat cancer with an all-fruit diet, etc.

> You have to be very careful relying on the advice of oncologists. Think about what their motivations are. What are their biases?

Think about what your motivations and biases might be. You're human too.

Why not make the user know what applications do: which files, ports, devices it has to access, and what data it emits, to begin with?
Amazon affiliate is probably the only way. But you need to hand pick everything..
If anything it’s the other way. The software updates provide a huge boost to the existing fleet, features that you would normally have to trade-in and get a new car to enjoy.

In some cases you can even upgrade the hardware (e.g. the AP and MCU) with the latest shipping parts to keep your model fresh. This is not universally true - there is some drama over a promised Model S MCU upgrade which a lot of people want only apparently only a handful of owners have gotten, but overall the approach is very refreshing.
The problem is all recent blizzard games require a net connection, so it's not terminating your subscription, but rather stop playing games that you have already paid for.
Glucose is definitely food for humans, I think what the discussions here and more generally in nutrition are about lately is where it should come from. Carbs are the only nutrient with a minimum daily intake of zero. Carbs are optional, as to your point, your liver will synthesize all you need to exist or you would be dead. What that process doesn’t come with as much of is a direct spike in insulin and insulin has a lot of downstream effects.
Didn't know it existed - thanks!
I really think cancelling accounts would be more effective.

A mass request like is being proposed would just make Blizzard script out a response.

If it’s real, then he should be able to answer this question posted on Twitter by Gregory Allen Perry ( @gallenperry ):

What is the payout on a $1000 bet that a terrorist attack in will occur in Kashmir in the month of February with no less than 20 victims killed if the price of silver drops by 5% immediately prior to Pakistani tax assessment in the year before?

If he can’t answer a question at least somewhat in the same vein as that, then this is crap. If he can (within any reasonable degree of confidence), then I’m wrong.

GCC, and Keil.

As you said, there are no vendor SDKs out there (that I know of, anyways) that are C++. But it's not terribly hard to integrate them in to a C++ codebase / roll your own abstractions because you're dissatisfied with the ones the vendor gives you (;

Different compilers supporting different subsets of the standard is definitely an issue, and it can be a problem if you're trying to use the same code with several different toolchains.

GCC in particular however has been really good about keeping up with newer versions of the C++ standard. I like and use many of the things on this list (excepting the standard library features, which of course you usually can't use off the shelf because dynamic memory allocation): https://github.com/AnthonyCalandra/modern-cpp-features.

In particular, features such as constexpr lambda, if constexpr, and type traits are nice ways to do some compile-time computation while being type safe - they're a lot more pleasant to work with than C preprocessor macros.

And of course, templates. They're a nice way to express certain concepts and reduce duplication without making any impact on your code size. But only judiciously, otherwise you will wreck your compile times (;
> While I agree with your general sentiment, free speech absolutism is meaningless in employment settings without something like militant labor organizing to defend it.

Sounds an awful lot like a socialist euphemism for an ideologically-motivated blend of censorship.
I think there are still pirate servers out there.
The gamer didn't get censored by the Chinese government. A private company banned him because they decided they would rather do business with China than not do business with China.

That's a huge difference. China is free to make their own rules for when they do business with foreigners. Just like how the US enforces sanctions. Germany is free to business with, say, Iran, but if they do that then the USA is going to not do any business with Germany. So Germany has to decide whether they want to do business with the USA or Iran more. Is that censorship too?
what crime or contract violation have they committed? My (NAL) understanding is you can't sue/take-to-small-claims a service or company because of what they did to someone else. Only victims of malfeasance can go to court - even class actions need a number of people who are directly effected to start the lawsuit, before subsequently extending the small scale case to a class action.

In this case modern T&Cs give companies carte blanche to dry service to anyone for any (or no) reason, so you'd have to demonstrate it was a bias against a protected classification - race, gender, maybe age - but even then, US courts have repeatedly stated that the constitution applies only to US citizens.
The United States has already decided that businesses in general (ie. brick & mortar stores) do not have the prerogative to make their content accessible or inaccessible to whomever they see fit. Including websites makes perfect sense.
Where did this dark mode craze come from?

Don't get me wrong - I quite enjoy dark mode most of the time, but why now and not earlier?
> It is irrelevant if AEB fails when a human doesn't

This is only true with false-negatives. A false-positive (say, on a pedestrian-free, controlled access highway) could easily be actively harmful if it causes abrupt changes in vehicle behaviour that would not occur if a human were in full control.
This must be especially painful for Kerr who's known for his unhinged, incessant railing against Trump, and who is now quite willingly licking the boots of Xi Jinping, the real, actual dictator. Ready and willing to be woke, but only as long as it's good for business. When there's money at stake, though, murderous dictatorships are totally fine, and nothing to rail against.
Maybe, but probably not without somehow leaking the relevant personal information first.
He essentially lost his job for political speech.

See the NBA story from today where the NBA refused to censor a player for supporting HK. See why this isn't just about "a gamer"?
I am curious since people are saying that Blizzard will just write a script to deal with all the requests, I was wondering is there a list of European names with addresses and emails and such that the request they are sending is asking for? If such a list did exist then could not someone script something to automatically swamp Blizzard, or any company for that matter?
“Hong Kong Lives Matter”

That should get some attention.
This worldview is hyper human-centric. There are ~7735776725 people alive now. A million less is 7734776725. To keep this population alive billions of other lives are sacrificed. Yes humans and human civilization will be less affected in the short term, perhaps, or at least those that matter: i.e european northern hemisphere types. Short to medium term biosphere collapse will absolutely impact human civilization, but that is way to late for most other species.
No need for dark mode if the canonical design is dark. I wish this was more prevalent.
Blizzard is partially owned by TenCent. So actually it is the Chinese government.
"your" above was hypothetical. I had no intention of referring to you in particular, just "you" as the rhetorical character opposite to "me", because I think inventing whole jew characters and giving them names Alice and Bob style is odious.

I contend that the Google definition you quoted is bad, or at least incomplete. Taking away a loaned megaphone is a type of censorship. It is also a type of speech: you are "saying" that you no longer want to amplify that person's ideas. It is necessarily both.

To be a free speech absolutist is to say that the New York Times must publish every nonsense article every 8 year old sends them, because editorial curation is a kind of censorship.
The CCP is a very BIG carnivore.
The protest is not just for denying access to a fellow gamer, but the company's stance supporting an authoritarian government suppressing human rights and censoring free information. People have a right to boycott an organization when their money is used for something like this.
Your comment makes me glad I don't do UI's. But then I'm reminded of a syntax highlighting scheme I wish existed:

You'd never define a particular color, just algorithms for taking some input color and deriving each needed color from that one.

Then the user can say: "I want this file in blue and this one in orange" and the syntax highlighting still calls out the features in a relative way but the absolute colors are used as cues for something else (like test coverage or something from source control).

Ok, maybe doing UI's would be fun after all.
Doesn't sound like he did at all. The first cartoon states that you should have the right to say everything you feel you should say, while the second states that no one is forced to listen to you.
But that would be illegal - I was initially thinking of this as a joke in the replay, but then I realized under US law at least this would be a crime.

To be clear: a company can arbitrarily break something you paid for by terminating your account, or just taking the servers online, that is completely legal. That company can then sue you if you connect to someone else's servers or bring up your own, because that is illegal copyright infringement or contractual violation (and possibly CFAA violation because idiocy).
Being better than centralized TV networks owned by a few billion dollar companies, likewise with the newspapers, is no excuse for modern corporations actions 2019.

We have something special here where we can make a stand and protect our internet celebrities the same way we have if it wasn't on the internet. Far too many people are cynically willing to give it up either for political ends and ignore the early censorship by nation states believing both would be contained within a manageable subset and won't be both broaded used against legitimate dissents or openly abused to silence ideological opponents.

This is the natural and predictable outcome, the conditional free speech policy thing doesn't when it faces the reality on the ground.

And as I've said multiple times today this has nothing to do with how discourse is moderated on internet forums. The rules of civil discourse in individual communities is much more flexible than defining it purely on the loudest complainers political redlines.

Apple provides APIs for saving app settings in the app's sandbox. They require no additional permissions.

You're probably right that it's not nefarious in this app's case, but rather just developer ignorance. But even so, this is the right path to nudge developers towards better security practices.

Also, the permissions are contextual. I didn't see this dialog until I launched the app. Similarly, the first time an app wants to show a notification, the system prompts you to allow / deny it. I'm sure Apple can polish this more over time. But I will take this over the "nearly full-system access by default" paradigms that dominate desktop OS's.

I had similar issues when I included the standard library with templated data structures and googletest. The IDE would consume my entire MacBook Pro 2016. The UI froze, input would be delayed on the orders of 10s of seconds, and I can go on...

I really really hope they can fix this because at my work I'm trying to get CLion working. The Codebase is quite large and I have to turn inspections off or else input freezes and won't be responsive for up to 30 seconds. It's at times unusable.

When it works it's amazing but it still has some ways to go.
I agree, however they have had quite a distinct change in tone recently since leaving China. Not that what they say is untrue, but it feels at least somewhat to have an "unfair" anti-China bias at this point, at least to me.

The reality is though, no singular opinion is "correct", best to consume a wide variety of opinions with an open mind, and resist forming any strong conclusions about particulars. Usually, the correct answer is "well, it depends".
There are lots of laws in Thailand that are sporadically, selectively, unevenly or not at all enforced.

The TM30 foreign resident laws in Thailand were put on the books in 1979 but they only decided to start enforcing them (albeit extremely inconsistently) in the last few months.
Fascinating, I had no idea it worked that way...
How would I, a human being with no knowledge of cryptography or application security, know that?
I do wonder about these extrapolations of cost. Air pollution costs about a trillion. By the way, driving injuries and deaths accounting for future lost wages and pain & suffering also costs the US nearly a trillion.

How many other big categories have trillion dollar externalities? It’s only a $20 trillion economy - can the list be longer than 20 things?

And when we say something costs a $1 trillion in externalities annually, that should literally mean money that can be picked back up into the economy if you can clean it up. Mostly, to put it bluntly, because less people are having their lives cut short.

I find thinking about the scale of the damages and really trying to appreciate it is what creates the moral imperative to act. My personal belief is that technology is always the way forward. E.g. That by 2050 we could reduce the driving externality by 90% through automation. That we will eliminate coal for renewables.

I have less of a feel for what the technological path forward is for non-utility & transport air pollution - for some reason it’s a lot harder to grasp the damage being done. It’s certainly less visceral.

The drop is SO2 from utilities (coal) is particularly impressive. But a 20% overall drop in just a few years is kind of stunning - it works out to savings of $1.6 trillion per decade. That’s $1.6 trillion in economic damage from air pollution which will not be occurring due to progress in cleaning up our environment.

Sometimes it’s very important to step back and remind ourselves how much progress really is being made.
