I don't understand why people have problem with Epic Store. Isn't this just the competition everyone should want? Steam takes 30 % of your money. Epic takes 12 %. They are competing on cost. Why would that be a problem?

Why is that part of capitalism where Steam has near-monopoly on Games okay, but not the part where they have to compete with someone? Why would someone have loyalty to one huge corporation over another?

I don't get it.
Skunkworks & Northrop Grumman sites are all within a 100 miles of the sightings. That's too much of a coincidence for me. "Highly advanced" projects coming out of those locations, usually run decades before anyone external even hears about them.
The list of benefits is missing the main one: you don't have to touch your mouse again.

If you were as "snobby as they come" when it comes to music, then you would know the reason I cited the specific examples I did. The first two were particular contributors to the expansion of our notions of harmony, and the latter two were particular contributors to the expansion of our notions of composition.

When you are in the study of music, these are the names of the people you reference when you discuss things like this. These are not opinions, but facts.

Perhaps you should have a better understanding of what harmony and composition are, before taking someone who does to task.
Yet another reason to use a VPN. Comcast can't inject this crap if they can't see the DOM/html.
If, in aggregate, people are saving more than they're earning, your economy is necessarily shrinking on a per-capita basis (or your central bank is injecting money into the economy and your "savings" is being inflated away). If you're not investing in some creative act, you're taking capital away from everybody else.
If all you listen to is the radio, sure. However in the broader sense of music being created, this is patently false. There are more genres and subgenres of music than ever before, experimentation and synthesis techniques weaving together ever more intricate and sophisticated timbres.

Movies are a better example of a medium getting bland, but there is a material reason for that; production costs vs return on investment leading to less riskier films being made.

Music doesn't suffer from that same problem, in fact 'good' music can be made for nothing except the composer's time.
No, we do not, because we do not make decisions collectively. Or at least, I wasn't consulted. Maybe everyone else was.
ZEV credits only apply to 11 states, they don’t apply to the sales to the rest of the US. https://www.ucsusa.org/resources/what-zev

Presumably, Tesla is prioritizing those states rather than the entire US market.
ok this is awesome. I've been doing this manually in reaper for years!

One thing though, the "slow down" algorithm you're using is really wack sounding. Have you looked at phase-vocoder based approaches, or overlap-save?
I was pointing out that Wilco is a poor example of what I am talking about.
XDF looks cool! Some of the design choices look pretty inefficient and arbitrary for a data format though, have you thought about rebranding it as a markup language? =] /s

The point being, I think the author is arguing you should use the right tool for the job, and XML not being designed for arbitrary data structures makes it not the right tool.
Just recently people have shown you can build a raytracing engine in SQL, but if someome was arguing we shall call it SQLCycles and ship it in Blender, I'd definitely have a few objections!
Tesla is trying to time production so that cars produced in one quarter are mostly sold in that quarter. So in the first month, oversea production gets prioritized. Musk has announced that they try to reduce the resulting effects, but so far they are still very dominant.
I really like <root name="John" city="London" />

It easy to query with xpath

It parses the same regardless of the order. With the right way, is <item><key>Name</key><value>John</value></item> the same as <item><value>John</value><key>Name</key></item> ?
Thanks! That context is sorely needed in their web channels.
> neither judges nor prosecutors wish to send non-violent offenders to prison

I find that hard to believe. See Bernie Madoff. Sure he's an extreme example, but he's not a danger to anyone. Surely there's something else that can be done to deter people like him.

I've often thought just set up a camp for non-violent offenders. The security would be basically none, just that if they leave then they go to a real prison.
Well, I like their shoes because its shape fit my foot better than most of the shoes. I have a rather wide foot so some shoes just doesn't fit no matter how big it is.
I haven't bought a game this close to launch in years. A bunch of my friends bought Outer Worlds and vouched for how awesome it is, so I caved and bought it. IMO it's really great so far, the dialog choices are quite entertaining. I think this game might be an instant classic.
What? They just have to measure bandwidth from the other side of whatever is modifying the content.
The two billion dollar question: is there unrealized US demand (at the current price points) that they are failing to meet, or did demand drop, and they are losing marketshare?
The value of sales fell by a third, though apparently the absolute number of sales did not change much upwards or downwards. (95k in Q2 vs almost 97k in Q3.)

However, the US market is the most valuable market on a gross and margin basis, and Tesla acknowledges that growth in the US has slowed. Many analysts believe Tesla's US market has plateaued, though that remains to be seen.

(And note to anyone claiming that they're only selling less in the US because they want to expand internationally: companies don't sacrifice high-margin sales in high-margin markets for low-margin sales, especially not when the low-margin sales are in markets where they don't have any competition.)
The real reason you shouldn't be using GitLab is performance. How is it possible that that page took over a minute to load? Nevermind that the design is completely incomprehensible.
Please don’t copy/paste answers. Tesla does not publish an ASP breakdown by market AFAIK. But what we do know is Tesla always sells highest margin SKUs first into new markets and then eventually sells down-market over time.

In their Q3 report they said “Despite reductions in ASP of Model 3 as global mix stabilizes, our gross margins have strengthened.”

In other words, their global deliveries benefit from higher ASP while they were initially delivering only the fully loaded models.

We can also look at base price of the SR Model 3 and see a basic case for higher ASP internationally, but it’s a very tricky analysis to try to back out taxes and transportation costs.
cannabis online store. my profit share currently nets me around than CAD10k per month.

started about a year ago when a few friends pooled money together to take over a failing online cannabis store, which are not legal in Canada but are sort of outside of law enforcement interest currently so we operate pretty freely at this moment. i've always been keen to do this as i've heard how profitable it is, so when they asked me to manage all the computer stuff in exchange for a small profit share, i agreed. i had minimal experience with SEO, but learned along the way how to tweak little things here and there, like which types of promos worked, etc and managed to do a decent job in the end. it did require some work at the beginning but once most of the things were set in place, my role was reduced down to mostly designing promos and customer service, which i performed simultaneously at my full-time job which i maintained. the customer service largely involves me just engaging with customers on Discord and answering emails.

it didn't start off 100% passive, and it probably still isn't considered passive, but i don't feel that i do much work for it now and i'm still getting paid roughly CAD10k. my next step is i'm in discussion with one of the partners to start up a new shop, this time as an owner.
That's an interesting point. But wouldn't the vast majority of Gitlab users be signed in (and thus server-side trackable)? Pretty much all functionality other than just reading code seems to require it.
As an iPad Pro user for work, here is one area where discoverability is better on the iPad than the Mac - learning keyboard shortcuts:

On the iPad, hold down ⌘, then keyboard shortcuts show up. So much easier than on a Mac. My tip is to gradually add these keyboard shortcuts to your Anki deck.
If it's a good script, I'm all for it.
It's also worth noting what, exactly, was the offending speech in that court case, and several related ones (such as https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Debs_v._United_States). It was anti-war propaganda, and specifically, calls to resist the draft. The defendants were high-ranking members of the Socialist Party of America.

Principled defense of free speech is often accused of being a slippery slope fallacy, usually by the same people who give "fire in a crowded theater" as a counterpoint. I wonder how many of them are aware that the phrase itself is a historical example of a very real slippery slope.
AWS Lambda Performance Optimization and Monitoring with Tracing and Spans
I guess the correct answer depends upon the requirement.

I like this way

<root>
<item key="name">John</item>
<item key="city">London</item>
</root>

So I can use this xpath to get the person's name:

//root/item[@key="name"]/text()

Not sure what would be the xpath to get the name if the XML was

<root>
<item>
<key>Name</key>
<value>John</value>
</item>
<item>
<key>City</key>
<value>London</value>
</item>
</root>

This is a better example:

<employees>
<employee id="1">
<field name="name">John</field>
<field name="city">London</field>
</employee>
<employee id="2">
<field name="name">Jack</field>
<field name="city">Boston</field>
</employee>
<employees>

I make a habit out of pushing to both gitlab and github. Even if github is technically superior, I don't think we're served well in the long run by monocultures.

(But yes, gitlab's web interfaces are generally frustrating. Slow, bugged, or just organized in ways I find challenging.)

When I lived in DC I was across the street from a grocery store and kiddy corner from my wife’s work. I was on the other side of town from my daughter’s preschool, and my office was between my daughter’s preschool and my house. (Dropping her off via transit would’ve taken an hour and a half easily.)
Could some of those downsides be mitigated by putting your base on a "pole"?

The question is: if a car sale in the US makes $X margin, but a car sale in the UK makes $Y margin, and X>Y, why are they selling the car in the UK in the first place?

Not only are they making less money on the sale, but they face higher costs even just getting the car to the UK, meaning that the effective margin on the international is even lower.
I would love to know what people think of my XML node-graph/tree editor I made before JSON became mainstream (my excuse): http://rupy.se/logic.jar

It basically names the tag what you name the node. :S

- You link/unlink nodes (I called them entities! Xo) by right-click-dragging between them.

- You copy stuff by right-click-dragging to an empty space.

- You delete by grabbing something by left-click-holding and pressing the delete key.

- Oh, and nodes are completely tree structure expandable, just drag-drop attributes on nodes and nodes inside nodes.

The editor uses lightweight rendering so you can have a ton of elements with good performance.

(I know, not super intuitive; but very handy once you know about these.)
A right place to use XML is when you want to write structured & reusable content, for example when writing documentation. See DITA [1].

> The ads and notifications redirect users to the Play Store, where victims are asked to install other apps -- a means through which the xHelper gang is making money from pay-per-install commissions.

Software publishers which have been proven to be paying out commission money from "bait and install" app links, for things published in the Play Store, should have their entire app and developer profile removed with extreme prejudice.
"Further, GitLab will commit to not implementing telemetry in our products that sends usage data to a third-party product analytics service."

That seems like a pretty solid indication that the plans are cancelled.
If you look at it from the point of the view of the game creator, Epic is better - they take smaller cut and they will outright give you money for exclusivity.

This might not seem necessarilty better for the players, but considering how many smaller game studios / creators are on the verge of profitability, this might mean we get to play games we wouldn't otherwise.
Kinda boring to be honest.

The signal they are sending is very rudimentary (2 bits). And the communication is only one directional.

This is more of a tech-demo than any sort of break through. The article even discusses other teams that are trying for 3000 or more bits.

The sad thing is, this technology is probably slower than connecting an implant to the nerves in your finger, and much more cumbersome. If the technology can only transmit 2 bits, this really is next to useless.
It would be a rather bad design. It would not survive a good design review.
It's a way to send a message across. Before things turn irreversibly nasty.
The reaction to this whole saga has been insane. Chill out people.

They fucked up, users gave feedback, they listened.

This isn't some corporate conspiracy, some grand ethical dilemma with an evil company on one side and some white knight hackers on the other.

Let's imagine for a second that they are people trying to do the right thing, with years of history doing the best they can.

They wanted to measure usage to make their product better. People seem to disagree, which, okay, but the outrage here is everything wrong with the internet.
A Hosty Retreat: Rework Leaves ART19 over Listener Surveillance
As others in this discussions posted, delivery times in the US seem to be up, which means that their production is lagging behind demand. As the Shanghai Gigafactory goes online, total production numbers should rise steeply and more cars be available in the US.
Yes, but only short term. For example, I only do rentals when I can make them cash flow positive monthly. But there are times when say, you need to replace a water heater and that requires a permit and licensed plumber, so say $600-$1200 in my area depending on the unit etc. So I might lose my cash flow positive side for the next few months to pay that back, but in the end the net/net of the unit will be cash flow positive.

I did have one home we sold at a loss because of the housing crash. It sucks, but it also taught me a number of valuable lessons, and really improved my game.

With real-estate, there is a cliche saying, you make the money when you buy the property not when you sell. This is so true. If you buy it right, you will do well, when you buy it wrong it will almost always bite you.

Flipping is an easier place to lose money if you aren't careful. But if you are flipping you aren't doing it for passive income. I do like flipping but it is not passive and in my area has been hard the last few years because of the local market trends.
well .. that was anticlimactic. With a click-bait title like that, I would assume a swat team was called or the dad thrown in jail or something insane. Nope .. just pretty normal. Hey that dad taught his kid something important: retail workers and managers don't really care.

This doesn't make any sense. W3C doesn't restrict/define use cases of XML, it defines structure and semantics thereof; using it as-if it is an XDF document is perfectly ok, just like you can use XML data for your DASH stream etc... It's a structure on top of XML structure.
Is this supposed to read "misunderstands"? And if not, could you elaborate?
Having worked on content in eLearning while Flash was king, it was far from a panacea. Especially for government related training content. Almost everything was meant to be run full-screen at 1024x768. Can you imagine if everything were still VHS quality today for video?

In the end, technology moves forward. And frankly, there are enough libraries for grid/layout that really close to just work. I find that material-ui with react is insanely easy to use compared to what came before. Every time I do anything more custom, yeah, I have to google it and play around witht he CSS rules. However, for CRUD guis, material-ui library all the way.

In the end, you aren't going to get away with knowing nothing. Even in the Flash days, if you wanted to do anything interesting you had to know ActionScript and the quirks that went with it. For forms and crud apps, you had Flex, which had its' own niceties but wasn't a panacea either and wasn't WYSIWYG either.

What could have saved Flash was opening the runtime and creating an interoperable specification and let browser vendors work with Adobe (Macromedia and I forget the company before that) etc. Silverlight was much closer, but still sucked in a lot of ways that held it back in the end. Flash's tooling still exists and iirc targets HTML5 these days, so you can still pay and use it.

If Flash had simply been a bundle spec for a zip archive with a manifest file, JS, SVG and MP3 (or other audio) and video files it could still be a thing. I had hoped that would be the direction it would go when Adobe bought Macromedia. It wasn't. It was the source of too many bugs and crashes and it died because of it.

The habitability difference is not relevant at this stage - both will kill you instantly. The ISS orbit has no atmosphere or gravity, but it's easier to keep people alive there than on Mars.

For a Moon base locations, look up peaks of eternal sunlight. We also have space-grade nuclear reactors and RTGs ready to go.

On the Moon you can have realtime communication, bring way more equipment, have robots remotely controlled from Earth, and get help or evacuate quickly.
NASA and China will be able to land people on the Moon, other nations can get rovers/supplies there.

Anything goes wrong on Mars - you are dead. I would pick Moon any day.

You aren't responding to the comment here, you are just reasserting the article's position. I'd argue there is not another format that is obviously better for every data storage or exchange use case, or that surpasses all of XML's benefits while minimizing all of its downsides. I don't want to look at XML, but I do understand why it is being used.

> Britain and France are continuously at war from 1803 onwards until Napoleon’s defeat at Waterloo in 1815, a period of war unmatched in any of the other coalitions. What do you think is the main motivation for why the Brits are so uncompromising?

This actually short-changes how much Britain and France actually fought during this time. This is the tail end of what some historians call the Second Hundred Years' War:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second_Hundred_Years%27_War

Here is the list of conflicts during that time

Nine Years' War (1688–1697)

War of the Spanish Succession (1701–1714)

War of the Austrian Succession (1742–1748)

Father Le Loutre's War (1749–1755)

2nd Carnatic War (1749–1754)

Seven Years' War (1756–1763)

Anglo-French War (1778–1783)

French Revolutionary Wars (1792–1802)

Napoleonic Wars (1803–1815)
Yes? You can see how much you added, the size before and the size after.

This is not a technical impossiblity, I'm sorry if you're invested emotionally in it being impossible.
Exactly, as much as loans and savings go, they don't physically alter the currently available resources to be consumed, which really has nothing to do with money at all. A society can't just collectively save most of its income for it to be magically available at a later date. It's just suffering deflation while exporting inflation into the future. It's some sort of prisoner's dillema that high-saving countries usually run into.

Airtel Have Discontinued It's N5 for 20 Seconds Bank USSD Service Charge
As an RF engineer who has tested frequency spectra and radiated powers of various consumer electronics including cell phones, I've never seen a cell phone (specifically an iPhone 5, A Nexus, a Samsung Galaxy S4, and a razr flip phone) transmit with airplane mode turned off.

It's not just airplanes that could be susceptable to cell phone emissions, but back in GSM days, the number of handoffs while in flight would effectively jam the cellular network in a 200mi radius. Nowadays cell phones are much smarter and don't do that, and the EMC risk in aircraft is extremely low.
