Funnily enough, there isn't (that is, there is some, but not so much as you would thing). https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2865193/

It's the reason I've personally ceased my "smoking when drinking" habit.
Funny, but it still would be more interesting to see the same chart with an x axis making more sense. Windows 2000 is just a brand name, it's actual version number is 5.something.
> Do you really want to spend your time writing to Congress to have them pass a law making smoking a protected class?

No, but I do like writing about restricting employers ability to discriminate employees based on their off-the clock personal hobbies and preferences.

Basically using your language, I hope that 'everyone is a protected class' when it comes to legal forms of entertainment and hobby.
And the during the first frame where the tiniest sliver of the enemy is visible around the edge of the wall, the bot running on the local computer will move the crosshair exactly over the visible area and shot.

This is ignoring things like player shadows which are rendered separately and need polygons which are not in the visible fulcrum.

Also we are both ignoring audio. Sounds like gunshots come from a specific place in the world.
Yeah, some of those pain points are what I think about. Thanks for explaining.
I used to live in California when Fry's was the popular destination. They started to go downhill around the time I moved to the Midwest (1995). Questionable return policies etc. Microcenter in contrast is still a huge success. Everytime I visit one, I'm amazed at how well stocked they are, and how busy.
OK, so build a site that takes a bunch of patient info (demographic, genetic) and generate 1000s of custom meta-surveys that estimate the most effective medication for that specific patient by weighting the data in various ways. Return only the one that suggests the highest-priced medication. Eventually, move to a bidding system where pharma companies can sponsor the custom reports that recommend their products. Give 5% of the profit to developing world vaccination projects and it'll save lots of lives overall.
> What should Delta do at this time?

Investigate more? I mean, apparently a whole bunch of their employees are indicating there's some sort of an issue with these uniforms. A few individuals might be a fluke, but at this point I expect Delta management to be concerned about this supplier damaging their employee performance and thus Delta's bottom line...
>I think the general theme I see is that folks expect companies to solve problems that their governments must be solving. And when they don't get it uniform, everyone's mad.

People want an outcome and don't particularly care where it comes from, public vs. private. If one fails, they'll push on the other to find a leverage point. Example: A pundit can say some truly awful and damaging shit and it's legal under the law. But if you target their advertisers, that's the leverage point that matters.

>I'd rather live in a world where companies aren't trying to push their morals on me and have a central entity (govt) arbitrate the same (Believe me I see evil in both places).

A company should be free to push its morals on you, given that the market allows it, and their morals aren't illegal. Right?

Personally, in the current environment of profit-at-all-costs capitalism, the major flaws seem to be incentivizing short-term-thinking and negative externalities. When a company flexes morals that appear at odds with short term profit (e.g. Twitter), I tend to assume they are actually acting out of self-interest but are better able to grasp the long vs. short-term incentives, for whatever reason.
I distinctly remember fresh install of Win 95 taking 73 MiB of disk space (definitely between 70 and 79 MiB; with a 7 in the front). So I'm not sure where the 50 MiB number comes from.

Anyone with me on this? (not that it's a huge difference, but still).

ps: Also horrible chart due to x-axis. No offense.
Ah that brings back memories. I don't know if I was just crazier or if it was just easier to trim things without breaking them back then. These days I don't even dare try to remove some of the built in Appx packages on Windows for fear it silently breaks some feature you'd never think was part of that.

It is in our blood to war for resources, but it is also in our blood to share, cooperate, commiserate, empathize, and have compassion. I posit that greed and avarice are (once effective) survival tactics that have been obsoleted by us becoming social animals. It may be hard to imagine it now, but once more people start considering the idea that the notion of self and individual could be a cognitive illusion, that the world is not made up of individuals destined to war each other for more, we may see the end of the current crisis.

> It’ll only grow as fast as the “1st world” keeps consuming and off-shoring to avoid regulation

That's quite outdated; there's a huge internal market in China, India, etc, and plenty of trade between the non-"1st world" countries. In fact, the US did have an initiative to reduce consumption from there (in the form of tariffs) and it didn't impact their economy much.

Just as an example, China now has about as many cars as the US. And the market there keeps growing, whereas the US has mostly plateaued.

Right, and for basically the same reason. Fundamentally ChromeOS is just another linux distro.
If you have only one headset, I'd go for a Quest. If you are experienced VR user, owned a headset previously then you probably know the type of experiences you'll use. In that case it might be better to go for something else, but I'd still say that Quest is the best bang for the buck right now, and potentially will improve even further with advances in finger tracking and potential wireless Link.
Hey, I prototyped something similar to this a while back.
It used NLP and Elsavier search API to do entity detection and sentiment analysis on drug/effect pairs.

So you would search like "Mirtazapine", and then it would create a word-graph where the drug was in the middle, and it would be connected by things like:

Mirtazapine --> Reduces --> Anxiety/Depression

Mirtazapine --> Increases --> Hunger

The words were colored either green/red based on whether it was considered a positive or negative effect, and the size was based on the size of the effect and numbers of mentions.

It was meant to be a tool for clinicians and prescribers to be able to enter a medication and get an easy overview of its effect.

Do you have any interest in pursuing this further?

I know a few investors who I think might still be interested in this.
> I won't be surprised if Google kills Chrome OS in the near future

I think both Chrome OS and Android will be replaced by Fuchsia at some point. Native apps will be written in Dart/Flutter and they will also support web Chrome apps like Chrome OS does today.
Rant ahead:

I gave up gaming on a PC in 2013 and decided to get a PS3 instead. I did this because I got fed up with the constant upgrades (OS, drivers, game patches, etc..) that sometimes required me to spend a few hours of maintenance to play games. The only game I owned in that PS3 system was BF3! I played BF3 in the PC up until the level 70s so you probably have an idea how much fed up I felt to give up.

I feel like BF3 is the peak of the franchise. It was executed nicely in the PC as well as other console platforms. I was afraid the graphics quality would dip too much in the PS3 comparing to the PC but realize the decline is justified giving the fact that I don't have to constantly upgrade sht.

BF4 on the PS4 was a-okay. BF1 is just meh. BF5 is an abomination. Having played BF since 1942 in the early 2000s I am not a BF novice. But, BF5 is the worst of all.

Then, I switched to Modern Warfare 2019. Sure, the maps are smaller with 6v6 multiplayer. But, comparing to BF5 I don't have to wait 5 minutes in the lobby to play a game. And when I want to leave the game, it doesn't take another 5 minutes. The most important thing is with MW2019, I feel fun playing with my limited time available for gaming. With BF5 I feel like fing work and not playing game.
I'm having a hard time following what you mean. Could you give some examples of an irreversible decision that can be deferred in favor of some other specific reversible one(s)?

I bought canvas bags at a local food coop back in 1994. I use them at least 2-4 times per week. I wash them every other year. 25 years later they are still going strong, some 4000+ uses. Plus they are biodegradable compare to plastic bags.

They are way sturdier then the ones sold now. To replicate them I’d have to make them myself or look on etsy.
I think GP gets it. This checklist does a great job making several different valid points, and at the heart of them seems to be the fact that there is no Perfect Language. Discovering this checklist helped me a ton back when I was turning down language after language for silly reasons. For example, I'm glad I gave Rust a chance this past month, despite dismissing it a few years ago.
The trajectory of an object in space really only depends on the (external) gravitational field applied to it.

Yar, funny those people who comment "no never build the product first, do marketing and find if there are customers for it", don't read the page.

"davnicwil" is, guess what -> "Open source" "Freelancing" "Consulting"-> motto "I turn ideas into products"

He is just trying to sell his services to people who want to build the product, and guess what he advises them to do that, and that is his page. This is not some holy grail advice, get some context and step back people.

Ok I know everyone is reading only headlines here anyway...
I mean we have adapters now that allow Teslas to charge at non-Tesla points.

More generally though I think comparisons between charging stations and gas stations are almost always invalid for a few reasons. First is that charging stations have the potential to be ubiquitous in a way that would be impossible for gas stations. I.e. you don't need to bury giant tanks in the ground and have a complex fire suppression system in order to charge an EV, rather you can get started with just an electric outlet. Second is that for many people, charging overnight at home is sufficient to get you through the day. I.e. a charging station is only necessary for trips that are more than a couple hundred miles, which is only a small fraction.
I don't think the economics are much different in the US either. I have been eyeing some classic motorcycles for a while ('70s hondas, ~350cc) and they are less than half the price of the higher end cargo e-bikes. Like electric cars, electric bikes are a luxury purchase and are only viable for the wealthy in wealthy cities currently.
I think hydrogen starts to make sense if we ever live in a world where energy becomes free. You can replace the dino oil with hydrogen, since you can create hydrogen for 'free' using electrolysis. Then it becomes a way to store gasoline-like energy... but I still think all your points are valid for cars. Maybe, but batteries definitely seem better near-term.

Given we've got quite a few other hurdles before the utopia of free energy... well, batteries are for sure the better option now.

This was my reaction ... it's presented in the article as a fun idea without a market, but seems like a plausible play to build a saleable corpus of facial recognition data.

Right, by "in good standing" I mean a rigorous definition far beyond and far wider than an endorsement from the US.
True. But do you think they were better for private tech companies? Maybe if you lucked out with the next Google. More than likely, you got a dot-bomb that lost 90% of its valuation and was sold for pennies on the dollar...

The opposite of anti-money laundering (AML) isn’t actual money laundering

AML implementation is a poor and misapplied user experience that is usually done as an excuse to prevent money laundering. Many services apply it arbitrarily with no scrutiny and use it to steal users funds. Unclear regulations per country dont help and unscrupulous actors take advantage.

Onchain and noncustodial services are either exempt or function autonomously, removing this particular duty of the state. They also typically have unlimited amounts that you can move, compared to arbitrary monetary amounts that centralized systems impose. “DeFi” efforts are being made to make the experience of using onchain noncustodial services as fast or faster than offchain custodial services and a lot of progress has been made towards that.

Regarding the actual money laundering everyone’s afraid of, even the strictest regulations never actually prevented that while taxing all business and financial institutions. The Patriot Act wouldn’t have flagged any of the 9/11 transactions, HSBC still laundered billions for the actual cartel, minorities go to jail for accidentally using over $10,000 in cash, and even Al Capone could have passed the KYC part of AML regulations, so who is this for? Any way its going to be moot and already is for a lot of people.
After the flop that was BF5 I don't expect EA to be putting much effort into anything other than keeping some servers up so they can pump and dump BF6 on whoever is dumb enough to buy it.
Not sure I agree with that. It really depends on both the rider and bike. You can get a lighter weight (obviously with less range/power) mid-drive e-bike that is still manageable unpowered if you're not a small rider. It certainly isn't fun, but I've done it just fine on mostly-level ground with a sub-40lb bike.

Note that I have fond memories of pedalling girls around on the back of my unassisted bike back in the day, so I might not be an average rider.
This brings me back. When I used to play competitive BF2 in one of the tops clans in TWL, we'd start our thrice weekly practises by squading up in a pub server and play until we got votekicked and then switch to our private server.

IDK if it's still the same these days, but in BF2, 8 people in a squad all working together and doing their role within the squad could easily roll over 32 randoms on the other team.
How to add shortcuts to the touch bar without 3rd party software
I live in CA, too (Santa Clara), and in the last few years -- that's a very important qualifier! -- I've found Best Buy to be... pretty reasonable. It's certainly not empty, stocks are up to date, and their prices tend to be competitive not just with Fry's but with Amazon. A few years ago I bought a Mac-specific mechanical keyboard -- a Matias Tactile Pro 3 -- for a good $40 less than Matias's own online store would have charged, which IIRC was actually $10 less than Amazon's price.

Also, as far as I know, Best Buy will do price-matching against Amazon, just like Fry's does, except with much less fuss about it. And Best Buy is way better about actually pricing their stuff competitively with Amazon to start with rather than hoping you just don't notice.

Healthcare should not be tied to employment (see: corporate-employment-as-citizenship), and the general health of the population is (tautologically) a public health concern that needs to be addressed from the top, not the bottom.

Trying to "fix" people's addictive behaviors by denying them employment is like trying to cure the common cold by wrapping the patient's head in duct tape so they can't sniffle and cough anymore. Poverty and stress are uncontroversially regarded as risk factors for addiction, and in America if you don't have a job and you aren't a multi-millionaire then poverty and stress are what you will get.

Oh, and no, I'm not a smoker. I do drink a lot, which is something that's arguably just as bad or worse than smoking and yet nobody seems to give a fuck about it. Why is that?
Yes, big question if Buffer represents average return profile for "late-stage SaaS"... time will tell!
>This was a range that “everyone” said was impossible to reach even at the low end.

Really? Because I follow some of TESLAQ on Twitter, and many were expecting 115k delivered this quarter. Consensus was around 110k. One prominent poster had 367k for the year, and was within a fraction of a percent of what Tesla ended up delivering (isn't it odd that analysts can forecast more accurately than the CEO?)

I'm not sure where you are getting the idea that "everyone" said the low end would be impossible. I don't know a single analyst who thought that. Care to provide a source?

>stated in every earnings call and quarterly statement Tesla issued throughout 2019.

I don't think they stated that number in any call except the Q3 call, but you could easily prove me wrong. What he did state, though, that Tesla wouldn't be "self-constrained to 400,000 units" (Q1 call). He also said that Freemont would be producing 8,000 - 9,000 cars per week in Q3 (Q2 call).

>The market speaks for itself.

Ah yes, the old infallible market. What does stock price have to do with anything?
(own a tm3, assume whatever slant for what follows)

well as to the one fear, being tracked all the time. do you have a smart phone? okay, you are tracked.

as to whether or not you need to fear being remotely disabled by the manufacturer that remains to be seen. what is more worrisome would be government mandating a manufacturer do it to one or more cars or the idea if a company folds a keep alive feature or such fails and all the cars go dark.

as to bugs, well that is a real issue and what perfect timing you have. recently Tesla made this big push to deliver version 2019.40.50.x in order to give people this preview on full self driving. Namely showing that it indeed recognizes lights, signs on the road and alongside, and more. However two issues.

1. I have had four .x updates since the first for bugs. Even .7 which just got to me Thursday crashes the display if you do sort your contact list you can crash the display and it has to reboot. The car still drives, just no display until it reboots

2. To see the FSD demo features you need HW3 which means all TM3s prior to recent do not have that but instead have HW2.5 Those who bought FSD either with the car or after were promised it included a HW3 upgrade that was heavily hinted as being performed before EOY19. It was not and Telsa has gone dark, meaning they won't give you a date or anything when asked. Telsa is going to piss off a lot of owners if they make this right

Now OTA is finally resolving issues many have had with lack of features other brands have had for a long time. You can finally select the track of music playing from your BT phone in the current playlist... clumsy but it works. You however cannot select which playlist to play. Voice commands finally showed up but Tesla does not provide a list of them, for that you have to rely on 3rd party sites for a quick list. [0]

As for FSD itself, all the safety side features are pretty much growing to be common place in other brands. Not consistent though and you do need to buy a new car each time you want improved or new features of it; unlike Tesla. Meaning a 2019 Corolla cannot do what a 2020 can in regards of programmable safety. This does not mean Telsa has the implementation, just that unlike other brands if they add a feature you don't need a whole new car to get it. The key FSD feature is that a Tesla will drive on nearly any road for you and do it very competently. Some brands geofence where you can use it.

Here's how I see it, and the quote at the end kinda fits into this:

What problem are you trying to solve? Googling "what is the best pain killer" is a very "average user" question. It's also 99% useless.

Pain killer for what? Headache? Muscular pain? Nerve pain? You have a partially severed limb that's bleeding profusely? Oh you mean an OTC pain killer?

Ok do you have stomach problems? Liver problems? Kidney problems? Diabetes? "Oh I don't know" oh well...

"But I'm just trying to get the best drug for your situation" yeah, that doesn't exist. And there are personal preferences (doctor), personal preferences (patient), limitations, marketing pushes, etc.

Finding out drug X is more efficient than drug Y in 5% is just background noise. Hence why the doctor didn't see much value in this.

What would be valuable is finding which drug X to try if drug Y didn't work or can't be used (though doctors usually have that in their heads).
This doesn't fall under philosophy. Businesses have financial incentives to not make environmentally friendly changes. They do have some marketing incentives to change, but that has proven itself solvable via greenwashing. If you wait for a for-profit organization to become socially aware, when their financial incentives are not aligned, you'll be waiting a long time.
I was referring to the private intelligence and/or hacking contractors of the world, like NSO, Hacking Team, FinFisher's company, etc.

But yes, as far as I'm aware, none of the currently existing ones have any ethical standards at all. May be some decades until that changes (maybe in the form of a startup that tries to go a somewhat different route).
Based on my last visit, yes.

The receipt-check at the exit was already enough to send my business elsewhere, but the dismal, "perpetually looks like a going out of business sale", store interior cemented it.
