Not before paying, I don't know, something like 10-20 million to have the deal and everything else made watertight and 110% legal. Other that, you cannot blame him for the 1.7 billion. For the way how he got them he can be blamed so, IMHO.
I never said anyone is anti-gay. I said exactly what I meant: Trump/GOP are trying to create and enforce the right of businesses to discriminate against gay people.

That's not just "beliefs". It is discriminatory action.

People have a right to believe what they want, but they shouldn't have the state's sanction to discriminate based on those beliefs.
Some boost libraries are very error prone and fall down easily. When it works it works great though. I’m happy the quality bar is so much higher for the stdlib. People looking for more bleeding edge stuff can get boost if needed.
Thanks for the description and the link. I recall being told bank criminals typically used transfers because they couldn't be reversed once completed - especially if the transfer went overseas. Maybe it came from an armchair expert, or confusion over the old Swiss numbered accounts, and just became "common knowledge" from there.
agreed that they should open the source. I imagine it's a pretty simple app. a mapping of css selectors with a single line that runs on page load, something like this:

document.querySelectorAll(css_selector).remove()

the hard part would be maintaining the css selectors. This is probably and arms race situation, where websites will obfuscate their elements in such a way where identifying the elements you want is nigh impossible, but that would probably take more engineering than it's worth. What's really interesting is that facebook does not scrub their `data-testid` attributes, so you can basically key on that since they probably test that part of the application extensively, and probably run smoke tests/chaos engineering on their live app so removing them might be impossible in their current implementation.

right now on facebook the appropriate js code would be:

document.querySelectorAll('*[data-testid="fbFeedStoryUFI/feedbackSummary"]').forEach(element => element.remove())
I know it as

which could be translated as

In German it becomes obvious as the word "Schläge" (punishment/beating/plural of punch) is part of the word "Ratschläge" (advice).

I don't know PSD2 fully but I know that my bank rolled out support for it and as far as I gather, applications should not have to ask for my username/password via their own UI (which after testing Plaid, they do), but rather use the authentication systems from the banks to authenticate. Maybe I used it wrong though.
If your talking about the US, I would say the way some politicians paints illegal immigrants. Especially when the discussion about them centers around (what I think are exaggerations of) crime and drugs instead of the reality of how hard we have made it for them to come and help farm/pick our produce and do other manual labor.
China is also the largest country in terms of population.

This is like saying California is bad because it has the most crime and most poor people, ignoring the fact that it is the most populous state.

The CPC could definitely be better, but you would have these problems regardless, and if China ever cleans up its act, there is always India whose problems are probably going to be much worse.

Good arguments. We'll have to see how serious they are about Stadia. I don't have a lot of faith in them. But I hope to be proven wrong.

The launch was a disaster in that there is no excitement about the platform. I like their statements on first-party development, but quality first-party games should have been at launch and ideally platform sellers.

Though I referenced Microsoft, Microsoft isn't doing a great job either. They have bungled the XboxOne launch and somehow ended up with almost no first-party games. They have certainly regressed since the Xbox360.

>For example, they sent engineers to Bungie for 6 months to help port Destiny 2.

Developer relations is something that Google is actually pretty good at. They make their engineering resources available to their partners (even outside of Stadia). I worked with them when we moved to GCP. That's not the issue. Their technology isn't the issue. Their engineering talent and technology is top-notch.

The issue is the commercial, marketing and business side. They also have a big problem with dealing with customers directly. Their natural inclination is to be a platform. That's great for search, cloud, YouTube (though they should be creating a catalogue of high-quality content), but not great for things like phones, and in this case, Stadia.

>Not many, if any, AAA companies are going to agree to put their new game on a subscription service

Agreed. Exclusivity is very expensive. You won't get RDR2 or MK11 at launch in your subscription service. Even having AAA publishers supporting a marginal platform at all will be a challenge (if they can't move units on your platform, why bother supporting it?). That's why you can't rely on those publishers. They need to be building their own library of first and second party games.
I completely agree. This site is the first I've read of the new dev tools, and I'm excited to see what the community builds on Source 2.

SSMS is mature, reliable and makes my life easier meanwhile pgAdmin is just viable, but nothing more.

Generally SQL Server seems to be years ahead in compare to postgre when it comes to features/tooling.

I also used mysql via xamp and sql management in compare to all of those is world class

"There is something wrong in your statement. You must be a deplorable."

Thank you for participating in this forum.
I think that is painting with a fairly broad brush. Head into Target, and somewhere near the centerish of the store, diagonal to the greeting cards and cosmetics, is aisles and aisles of stuff.

Not sheets, or plates, just stuff. Decorations to go on an end table, whos likely purpose is only to hold the decoration. Knick Knacks to go on that one wall with too much empty space.

But lets go back to sheets and plates. How many sets of sheets do you own per bed? Is there a reason for that number? For years, the answer was "More than 4" for my bed. There was "The good sheets", "The warm sheets" and the rest were sheets that I used because the good sheets were in laundry pile and I havent done laundry yet. Even then, why have the other pair of sheets?

Minimalism isn't necessarily "Dont own a drill you dont need it", but more of "Dont buy stuff to put on shelves that you bought for the sole purpose of putting stuff on but you had more shelf than space so you bought more stuff but now its too much and you need another shelf"

Absolutely - the engine is the real product here.
I feel like only someone from SF would find $2100 reasonable for a studio. To me that seems ludicrous in other cities. IME in Seattle, that's how much it would cost for a 2 BR apartment.

Additionally:
2100 * 12 = $25200. The general rule of thumb is don't spend more than 30% of your take home on housing. That means you need to make at _least_ $84000 dollars per year in take home. That hardly seems overstated. Would love to be proven wrong since I love the SF area and would love to live there. However, I cannot justify the costs because I do not make $84000 in take home.
Significantly, from the article:

> Political ideology had no relationship with moral grandstanding scores.

i.e. narcissism is a bipartisan problem. (I mean, we knew that already, didn't we? "Crooked X", "X belongs in jail" and the like, relating to a well-known presidential candidate, is not something that the "left" came up with!) OTOH, it's nice to finally have an actual research paper that clearly links this sort of hypocritical grandstanding with narcissistic tendencies.
No, seems there is steps for validating each "stage" that the created app for connecting to banks has to go through. See this screenshot: https://i.imgur.com/1w7YUnf.png
The counter to this is that people, despite saying otherwise, are not actually interested in spending more money for a better product. Combine that with some markets that have relatively short life between product generations and it removes the need to create products that last a long time.

It's more fun and easier to blame corporate greed, but it's rarely the case. More often than not it's just that people want "cheaper" rather than "better".
Indeed, not saying that even one person survived does not bode well. It's very early days, and if it's possible at all they're not likely to be able to do this effectively for a while, but you'd be hoping for some positive indicators even from an early trial.

you're not just an arts startup, you're in the classical music business so that's 10000x harder, most tech based startups that enter that business fail because they cannot grow as a usual startup should. There is a company called IDAGIO that was founded probably around 2013, it relaunched multiple times, they played with the pricing from free to 5$/month to 10$/month to free again, they raised around 20 million dollars and employed 100 people, they bribed and paid journalists under and over the table to get every possible positive coverage possible for more than 2 years now, they bought facebook, twitter followers, they did everything including the dirtiest growth tactics any marketing pro would think of, and they are still struggling with growth.

It's a very tough business and needs extreme patience and shamelessness alike. My recommendation is to do partnerships with other arts companies or institutions related to your market, most of such partnerships are fake anyway, but can somehow give you some boost. That's at least what IDAGIO, the longest surviving classical music company has been doing so far, beside bribing journalists of course :D.

"Smith didn’t dispute any specific details of the article in his statement"

This is factually incorrect.

Here are some direct rebuttals:

NY times allegation: "In the 2017 fiscal year, FedEx owed more than $1.5 billion in taxes. The next year, it owed nothing. "

FedEx rebuttal: "FedEx has paid federal income tax every year, including fiscal year 2018."

NY Times allegation:" FedEx reaped big savings, bringing its effective tax rate from 34 percent in fiscal year 2017 to less than zero in fiscal year 2018, meaning that, overall, the government technically owed it money. But it did not increase investment in new equipment and other assets in the fiscal year that followed, as Mr. Smith said businesses like his would."

FedEx rebuttal: "Following passage of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA), FedEx invested billions in capital items eligible for accelerated depreciation and made large contributions to our employee pension plans"

Etc, etc, etc... These are literally the first few sentences from BOTH the article and the response. Either you're being intellectually dishonest by claiming that they didn't dispute and specific details or you're incompetent.

What you said makes sense. The question is more from the perspective of the compiler/assembler. At these layers you explicitly say, move this number to this register, or read a number from this address. But you very rarely are able to say, copy this chunk of data into this cache line. Sure there are exceptions (like the GPU), and there are cases where you can hack it to do what you want. But in general you don't get to control the cache in a very specific way.

> With streaming bundling, they can create a solid business.

I do wonder if this would be profitable though. Is Google operating at a profit even with the current model?

NOTE: I got way into writing this comment. I have things to do, but I thought I'd do some napkin math instead haha. I'm probably way off, but it's an interesting thought experiment.

My guess is it isn't. I'd be surprised if Google is selling the hardware at a profit right now, simply because the volume is not too high and they definitely want to reduce the barrier of entry.

On the software side, game companies probably don't want to lose margins and it sounds like right now they have leverage since this is a nascent platform. My guess is they're taking around 70% of the game sale (wild guess from the "digital sales" info in these Ubisoft slides [1]).

Let's ignore Stadia Pro for now and just assume the $10 a month go towards the the free games, or the extra compute for the 4k games / surround sound, or the discounts. If we go with $60 as the average price of a game, this napkin math tells us Google is making like $18 per game and that this their main source of revenue.

How long is a game? It varies widely, depending on the game (and the player) [4]. Let's say people spend an average of 20 hours on a game though. An hour and a half a day for two weeks.

Can Google stream games, HD at 60fps, for less than 90¢ an hour? Of course, this is Google so they're just employing their existing developers infrastructure, etc. The scale probably means they can probably get RTX 2080s in bulk at a discount. It's perfectly plausible they can. Im again, also certainly way off in my numbers. But it is a huge investment— the promise is it could open the doors of an industry for Google, but if it doesn't, is it worth it?

To be clear, I'm not calling doom on Stadia just yet— YouTube operated [2] (operates?) without profit and there's still old services that have stuck around. Google Voice still exists in spite of many calling its doom years ago [3]. Just wrote this for the analysis, not really to make a point one way or another.

They'd block 20% of your view and you would block the part where you would want 'put' your hand ( like a button to press) and since there is no tactile response, it would be impossile to do so.

That's the same for Rust macros though.

If the expanded code does not pass all the checks along with the other/normal code the program/lib won't compile.
It could also be slower read and write speeds. Also, I'm not sure of the exact numbers, but the difference in expected life of the product could be in years, such as 1 year for a counterfeit versus 10 years for a brand name.
I was thinking the same thing. Stryker already has a system that has a tracking device for surgeons that shows pre-OP CT scans around the area and shifts sliced around depending on the position (also performs a 3D rendering).

Projecting this directly on the surface may be useful but you'd have to be careful not to skew information surgeons may find useful. Seems great for training on cadavers and stuff though.
