I will never purchase another game from Activision or Blizzard unless they recant this backwards position. American art and media should not be subject to Chinese influence.

People are cutting out consumer spending because they have to spend an increasingly higher percentage of their income on housing and education. The fatal flaw isn't that inflation doesn't happen, it's the fallacy that inflation in one sector of the economy will automatically propagate to all other sectors.
Many of the blizzard related subreddits are staffed by mods that remove posts about China. And when you post something in /r/wow you see a big "no politics" banner. Not seeing that many posts about this there means nothing about how the players feel.

And reddit in general was up in arms about this.
If there is any authentic popular demand for such a thing at all, I have no doubt that somebody in the python 2 community will see fit to publish a script that creates the appropriate symlinks.
It is probably even more decades than you expect.

There are maybe more subtle areas of economics for which I don't fully agree with it's model of the world, but I still think it's a pretty good podcast for starting econ.
The goal is not to change chinese policy, it's to change the policy of how american business interact with chinese policy.

I don't care nearly as much about how china is a draconian hellhole as I do about that hellhole infecting how american business do shit.
And how does WPF and Win Forms help there? You’re (hopefully) not communicating with mobile apps and websites using SOAP.

I know IIS like the back of my hand - heck I was deploying Classic ASP apps to it almost 20 years ago. But, I see where the industry - and MS are going. I’m not going to stick my head in the sand like VB6 users 10 years after it was abandoned by MS.
> Asked, "Should Blizzard reverse its banning of the Hearthstone player?", only 36% of Blizzard employees surveyed responded Yes. However, a solid majority of 64% opposed the reversal.

I think this question misses the point a bit. Few people think there should be literally no punishment for disrupting a tournament stream with a political message. There is a rule against that, it's in the rulebook, you should probably get a warning and then a disqualification/ban.

People object because the punishments were extremely severe (clawing back already-won prize money, firing commentators who ostensibly had no idea this was about to happen to them), to the point of seeming like they were dictated to Blizzard by China.
Based on what I’ve seen, investors are taking a wait and see attitude - waiting to see what happens with Blizzcon. There are investment guides that are advocating selling ATVI, and those will rise as the outcry and practical impact on Activision-Blizzard’s marketing and sales show.

This hit is a pure hit against Activision Blizzard’s Overwatch marketing, and it’s brought the Switch port into the light of day. Sales of the Switch port will be watched closely by both sides.
Its trivial to devise rules of a discourse that selectively lock out certain ideologies from participating. You can easily use such a system to suppress speech you disagree with as much as you would by just banning them.

Its totally in Twitters right to do it though. If politicians and/or society at large disagree about about not centralizing all your communications on the websites of international corporations.

I don't consider this "beating" the C version. The new version isn't even semantically equivalent. You had to resort to multiple cores. A parallelized C version of wc would probably be even faster.

They're certainly manipulative. The weasel-worded "requests" demand compliance by placing the victim in a bind: either comply, or look like a terrible friend/spouse/employee/etc..
That assumes sleep(2100, 0500) == sleep(2300, 0700), which anecdataly is false.
> This time around China is looking to become the largest market and if we let it to become one before China sheds its "communism with Chinese characteristics", it will crush the West.

If China can shed Communism and compete with the West as a free society, then more power to it. It might hurt American pride a bit, but the U.K. seems to have managed...
The benefits are sleep, as the article says. I would guess this outweighs the risk that a few students use the opportunity to stay up longer. (although pre 8am seems excessively early to me - we started around 8:50)

> I'm particularly concerned that this will incentivize students to just stay up later, negating many benefits of increased sleep.

This is missing the point. Teenagers staying up late is often interpreted as laziness or disobedience, when there is increasing evidence that it's a symptom of an (ab)normal circadian rhythm.
>Thanks, didn't know that, I'd thought it was Blizzard China.

It effectively IS Blizzard China. NetEase run the servers for the games in China and handle all the IP messiness that comes with launching in that country.

As an example: Amazon doesn't directly run AWS in China but instead has a partner firm that they work with but the brand is still AWS and the two are intimately tied together.
Surveys always have a self-selection bias. It's entirely possible people were worried about retaliation if they said anything different.
Agreed.

It is hugely ironic that the title of the book does seem to translate to "How to stop being a violent jerk."

A standard joke of mine when I recommend the book to others that the sequel, "Violent Communication", hasn't yet received much traction in the corporate sphere outside of Comcast's strategic planning department.

I like "Empathic Communication". Nice one.
You're right that the propensity to spend is higher among low-earners, so if you're trying to stimulate the economy it makes sense to allocate there (all other things equal). But my point was about the futility of trying to use a wealth tax to cut down on generational transfers of wealth/advantage. If you tax wealth, that encourages people to spend instead of save. And if their concern is keeping their family in the top 5%, 1%, or .1%, there are plenty of ways for them to spend it in order to achieve that end.
> Clearly nobody at Apple or Google working on these kinds of features is a parent.

That’s highly unlikely given the number of people working there.

This is the Netherlands, the closest town center is no further than a couple miles away, or a fifteen minute bike ride.
I've never heard or seen that, outside of this document. So I would say no, it's not a Go practice, it's an Uber practice.
I have to say that is not productive, especially as a teenager, or old child, where sleep patterns shift to a "late-night-owl" more, and extra sleep beyond 7-8 hours is critical.
The ticket machines of the German railway system print the ticket before releasing the bank card (to prevent a charge if the printer is broken), which makes it very easy to forget the card in the machine. Happened to me twice, both times someone found the card, brought it to a branch of my bank, which sent the card to the branch in my home town, which then contacted me, saving me the 10 EUR for a new card. Thanks, strangers!

I agree with you completely, but this whole debacle has highlighted what seems to be hypocrisy in the general public's reaction to this.

Remember when The Daily Stormer got kicked off CloudFlare and a whole host of other platforms, to the point that no one would take their business and they were effectively censored? The average take on that seemed to be a mix of "Free speech doesn't apply to private companies" and "If you don't like it, build your own CDN/DNS/Paypal/certificate authority etc"

So what's the difference with this? Again, I agree completely with the concerns here, but what happened to TDS and a lot of other fringe sites was even more blatant and serious: They were de facto banned from the internet, whereas this is all over...a video game.

Did everyone come to the conclusion that corporations are powerful enough to effectively snuff out free speech since that happened, or is it different because this is China, or...?

>>It's been a huge trope for a while now about how you dont have to (or even in some cases shouldn't) go to school

I think there's been a huge misrepresentation of the value of a degree. You hear this from people that have a degree already because a degree does not seem to be life-changing once you have one. It's not but it gives you an edge. At the very least a degree signals to an employer that you have some knowledge and are able to work towards a goal. Any employer will hire someone with a degree over someone that does not have one given similar resumes. Also, employers will almost always require some kind of degree if they are filling a management job. So if you ever plan to go above developer you'll mostly need a degree.

Here's my advice: build a network of contacts that understand your skills. Take the time to meet people in the industry. You'll need to find a way to do that.

- Try meetups

-take classes where you might find people that are professionals and hire people.

- Become friends with the HR people of the place where you want to work.

- Find bars where these people might meet

Additionally, work on your education. At the very least get a certificate that is given by a recognizable and respected school

Please don't take the, "no degree needed" advice. It's wrong no matter how old you are.

Charter schools and home schooling are viable alternatives, and if done well they have decent results as far as college admissions and career opportunities go.
You misread the sentence. The meaning of "every" in that sentence was the same was the meaning of "every" in the sentence, "My barber cuts every CEO's hair the same way he cuts my hair." The point of the statement is not to imply every CEO necessarily gets their haircut or is even welcome to do so in that barbershop.
The mail is from 2010 but it was only implemented in 2016, I wonder why.

I run a corporate sponsored meetup and the $2 fee is a non starter. My budget is for the venue, stickers and beers, this would increase the cost of every meetup by 50% providing nothing in return.

Edit: After reading a bit more about it, the cost is to the users, not organizers, which makes even less sense. Why would anyone ever RSVP instead of just showing up?
I've found that some of my most worthwhile relationships have been with people that pushed me out of the comfort zone.

I'd say make sure that if you do push people to change, it is for their benefit rather than yours.
We deploy our apps as containers on top of the standard dotnet images: https://hub.docker.com/_/microsoft-dotnet-core-aspnet/

Most homeschooled kids probably fall into religious zealot parent group or homeschooled because of obvious deficiencies displayed early on group. There is no intrinsic quality of homeschooling that makes kids deficient in any area. There is no reason why you can’t sign your kid up for little league and have him hanging out with other kids and adults. I’m just not convinced. And it wouldn’t matter anyway because literally anything is better than public school. If I have kids I will be forced to homeschool them.
I was responding to the parent comment, which said nothing about Oracle or any specific implementation.
Here's a variation I've seen: bad guy finds jewelry (necklace/ring) near you, making sure you've spotted it too. Then you get in an argument for ownership. He suggests splitting the cost - he would leave if you pay him, in cash, half the estimated price of the expensive-looking but fake jewelry. And then, of course, he vanishes.
Net-Ease is Blizzard China. All of Blizzard’s sales and marketing must occur in partnership with NetEase; there is no other voice for Blizzard in China.
Hmmm maybe sth like “Please don’t eat my food” :)
I guess the request should be clear also when I say “I don’t like that you eat my food.”

I wonder why nowadays you have to be ultra-PC with everyone. If everyone gets used to that, won’t everyone’s sensitivity for non-PC drop? I feel like we’re creating a generation of people that can’t take a punch anymore.
There is really only one reason to implement AMP and that is the bump in search results. It's practically extortion by Google.

I think not having gross leaks is a good thing, besides losing energy, leaks often carry moist air where you don't want it.

I'm much more dubious about ultra high levels of insulation and trying to completely seal the envelope.
Having expectations of moral behavior from someone doesn't mean you consider them a role model, it means you have standards. A role model is someone you aspire to be, but I expect everyone I deal with to have some sort of basic standards of decency. If not, I don't deal with them and neither should anyone else.
As a small side project I've been working on a tool to find interesting events in London that also have some food or drink provided, I found that there was sometimes too much choice and not an easy way to pick the best upcoming events. https://onlythebestevents.com

The audio version of the book is read by Rosenberg himself. He managed to avoid the annoying persistent mildly-psychotic caffeinated bravado that's ubiquitous in ‘self-help’ audiobooks. It's rather a pleasure to listen to, just for his mild tone—even if he doesn't quite steer clear of other tropes.

Can't remember any other book in the genre that sounded sincere instead of hopped-up, aside of David Lynch's reading of his “Big Fish”—but he's a different kind of writer anyway. Though, “Why We Sleep” and Guy Meadows' “The Sleep Book” might count, probably because they're more of informing instead of peddling.
Then we shouldn’t fret about Russians manipulating it.
"the technology the "good Samaritan" used" is just what anyone in the UK uses to send money to someone else. It's been standardised for like... forever, and is nothing special or worth astroturfing for.
Kevin Hale, at startupschool 2019, spoke in length on How to Work Together [0].

Key points aside from non-violent communication were, everyone fights, but when you fight, stay away from these four horsemen [1]:

1. Criticism: Involves bringing in variety or unrelated issues to the discussion / argument. Focus on the one thing that needs resolution.

2. Contempt: Argumentum ad hominem. Intention to insult, making things personal rather than engage in productive problem solving.

3. Defensiveness: Not owning responsibility. Can't reach a resolution as one doesn't admit to a problem.

4. Stonewalling: Silent treatment. Zero engagement. Complete communication breakdown from one or all sides.

Kevin then proceeds to offer remedies to overcome these [2]:

1. Divide and conquer responsibilities, define success and failure metrics to prevent defensiveness.

2. Know the attachment style of the person to prevent stonewalling, which are:

- Secure: Don't mind going up to people, relying on them or have them rely on self. Don't mind being vulnerable.

- Anxious: Tend to hold on to people. Look for confirmation and acceptance, more often than normal.

- Avoidant: Feel inadequate, tendency to not approach and prefer distancing themselves from relationships, or simply prefer being alone.

Anxious and Avoidant styles don't go well along with each other, by definition [3].

3. Create processes when things are normal to deal with when issues do arise, kind of like a disagreement decision framework [4] to prevent criticism.

4. Use non-violent communication, to ward off contempt [5]. Avoid making a mole out of a mountain. Pay-off emotional debt respectfully, no matter how small.

5. Have a honest one on one (level 3 conversations) about hard things, if required [6].

Highly recommend the talk [0].

Except for that Brexit conundrum.
1. People were (are) not able to remember more than maybe 5000 faces.

2. Each person back then would know their data is being collected, and exactly which kinds, because they are present and engaged when it happens.

3. We can sort of, kind of trust humans and sort of, kind of predict their decisions because we're not that different. We are nowhere near that stage yet with computers. We also know that putting that sort of information into people's hands, with the economy we have today, incentivizes misuse.
And I will never purchase another game until they start making good ones again. That is far bigger sin than refusing to be political about Hong Kong.
There's a popular perspective that companies are better off always taking drastic action even if it will probably lead to going down in flames rather than milking a business through an inevitable decline. And that's not always the case.

It's of course natural and sensible for companies to pursue strategies for new products and product lines as existing ones mature and decline. But if doing so means investing in new businesses where you have no particular expertise or advantage, it's unclear if you're benefiting your owners (i.e. shareholders) by doing so.

There's plenty to criticize Kodak about. But it was going to be in a very tough position no matter what. And we can name plenty of other businesses that have been completely replaced by new unrelated technologies. Keuffel and Esser wasn't going to become a calculator company.

Sony’s already gunning for Stadia ahead of time by lowering the cost of the PlayStation Now streaming service, and last I checked, PS Now already wasn’t all too popular in its own right for many of the same reasons the Stadia is close to DOA (IMO). Sentiment amongst the gaming communities I’m a part of is downright negative on the idea of using Stadia.

As you called out, then you have the problem with marketing a streaming service to people that can’t afford a gaming console or PC rig, yet assumes their internet speeds are fast enough to handle it (and without busting whatever data caps are in place).

I think it’s one of the most bizarre moves I’ve seen yet from Google in terms of products. Smacks of spray and pray productization tactics.
Going to a local bank also works. And you want to do that to get their cards replaced/blocked as well. And they have the owners contact details.
Until the company decides to change directions, you suffer from salary compression and inversions because HR decides to pay new employees market rate and (the hypothetical) you only get cost of living raises.

The last thing I want is to be tied to a company because I am not competitive in the market and then start complaining about “ageism”

And I’m on the opposite side of the country from the west coast FAANG and startup culture. I’m the definition of a standard “enterprise developer”.
> Speeding tickets make sense. They're putting people's lives in danger by speeding. Driving is the most dangerous thing most people do regularly. Having a set of predictable behaviors saves a lot of lives. People who think that think they're "great drivers" or "everyone else is doing it" violate those norms and create risk.

Speed at which you drive has very little to do with your predictability. "Oh, no, Betty is driving 5 mph faster than me. I'll never know what she'll do next!"

Even if you try to give an example of someone coming up on your left at a 50+mph difference, it's not an issue if you signal and look in your rear view mirror to make sure it's clear. Most people just don't do either.

A low dose of shrooms is a good introduction to the psychedelic experience. Just be careful, because I’ve found that shrooms can give incredibly intense trips if you take just a little too much, with intense time dilation/repeating and can really mess up my perception of reality, while LSD feels consistent and more grounded regardless of dose.
A neutral political stance would be to do nothing and ignore the "incident".

No. People come in to banks with lost wallets and cards they found all the time. But you should do it at an office. You can't just call and have them send messages to users.

Politicians are only on Twitter because that's where the media is.

Being nice to others is not problem if you do not need anything from them. But if you want to force someone to do what he doesn't want to do, that is a problem. And being empathic doesn't always help.
I only wish this study was available to my school and, especially my mother and stepfather who declined my acceleration opportunities in the 50s (without telling me until I was working). I ended up dropping out of undergraduate work, decades of psychotherapy and a failed marriage.

In secondary school I had read through the textbooks by October and had to sustain classroom boredom the remainder of the year. Had no work habits (not needed in high school), which left me totally at sea in university where just about all my classmates had accelerated.
