It's already troublesome when the employer gets their hands on employees' health information. It's none of their business, and the 250 dollars are just pocket change. You have to give it to U-Haul: you know where you stand, if you smoke or vape you can't work there, and if you don't they won't spy on you beyond drug and nicotine testing.
Oh man, I really dislike the new reddit. It's slower and wastes half the screen real estate. Why did they think it was good?

Seriously a bummer, as you know the old design is gonna be phased out at one point or another.
No, the sad truth is that the current anticheat is FairFight. FairFight mainly operates by monitoring the behavior of a player and it takes a screenshot if they are suspicious. Cheating tools[1] are aware of this and disable any visual effects (ESP hack e.g. see through walls, etc.) when it takes a screenshot and reenables them right after[2].

You think "9 out of 10 dentists recommend Colgate" is researched?

literally every kind of marketing to ever succeed in the last ~100 years is like this. Brand building is no different; You drastically underestimate the power of well-written copy.
The price we pay (scammers registering date based domain names) is due to the name resolution system being decoupled from the infrastructure we use to establish domain ownership and authority? How is looking up the domain supposed to give you more validation than the domain being assigned in the first place?

Right now that infrastructure is the only thing in the stack that actually does any validation (you get your cert because you have the name). There isn't any other validation infrastructure to couple it to for it to be "decoupled".
I'm a Model 3 owner who loves the underlying drivetrain technology, and a fair number of Tesla's design decisions, but am largely in the camp of the GP (I've posted on this before: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21173756 , which received some valid counterpoints and a correction ). It's funny you mention the wipers, because just a couple of days ago I was frustrated by the lack of tactile wiper controls; even the auto-wipers on the next-to-latest software version handled the mist poorly. There's certainly a significant degree of subjective weighting in terms of peoples' preferences. "OTA UX updates" would not be something I would care about in car that was more conventional in its controls, nor do I want or trust the ad-hoc "Autopilot". Moreover, I would really like Tesla to meaningfully commit to giving the user strong privacy and access controls regarding the data Tesla collects and access they have; I'm sure many people love Tesla having remote root on the car, but it bugs the hell out of me and I think it's much harder to do user-rooting on the Model 3 than the S/X (haven't been following this topic lately).

I get that I am an outlier compared to most Tesla owners who weigh things differently. I'll just be glad when there are alternatives at the level of battery, drivetrain, and mechanical & aerodynamic efficiency of a Tesla that take a different tack on controls, interfaces, and remote access.

But I agree with @null_turkey - after the Model 3, it's clear any vehicle I would buy next for daily or near-daily use would not have a pure ICE drivetrain; at a minimum, it would need to be a plug-in hybrid.

Been an EE, doing web dev currently. I'm always interested in business development, humans etc.. So if you're looking for someone in your team who's not only codes and does whatever your say, but helps developing your business / gives you feedback then I'm your guy. Feel free to get in touch, I don't think listing things is a good way to know a developer :) If you have a stack that I'm not familiar with, but it's interesting then I'm okay with joining.
In my experience, it generally turned out those "really good" players were taking advantage of a glitch, and were kicked for that.. not for being really good. (server rules generally have a "no glitching" rule). Again, this is all anecdotal experience

Too realistic? Probably quite the opposite?

I never had a Nexus phone, but I had Nexus tablets. They were great. I was shocked when I went to buy a new one and all I managed to find was a piece of shit Samsung tablet. That was a pretty defining moment for me when I realized Google had substantial structural and a management issues beyond the standard public controversies. Chrome OS users should not expect a bright future, no matter how great things are at the moment.

You're proposing new labor laws with this idea.

Thats good! However, you shouldn't confuse what makes intuitive sense with the laws governing your country.
The other manufacturers are catching up, so there is a chance that it'll be the other way round. Here in Norway, many people buy an electric car as a second car, with many preferring something cheaper than a Tesla. Tesla still tops the sales tables, in part due to the massive tax benefits. If in 5 to 10 years time the legacy manufacturers can compete on both the low and high end, and win on reliability, customer service & manufacturing scale, then they'll easily give Tesla a run for their money.
It sounds like current employees are going to have to sign the new employee handbooks eventually, which'll include this.

The VR prediction is the one I believe most strongly. I am absolutely confident VR will take off big time.

It is a shame Valve is a private company and Oculus is a fraction of FB's stock portfolio (doesn't help that it is already overvalued at 2 billion). I would have invested in Valve eyes closed.

Hope a competent new VR studio or VR only public company shows up. I want to invest.

The way I see it, technical advances in 2D gaming have maxxed out. The only way to out do your competitor on graphics will be to move to VR, AR or legitimate gesture controls. The way I see it any of these picking up will inadvertently lead to the others gaining popularity too.

I agree with your post, but describing it as "indie" is weird as there is a huuuuge market of non-AAA that is not indie, and yet that market also produces interesting and innovative games.

There are over 30,000 games on Steam. If you ignore the AAA publishers you'll find tons of excellent games regardless of indie status.
From the standpoint of particle physics, these aren’t that exciting. Though you would never know it from the article, the electric fields in these things are about the same as the fields in existing accelerators, because they’re both limited by the fact that strong fields start ripping the thing apart. So they wouldn’t actually “shrink” particle accelerators at all. They’re 1,000 times smaller than the existing cells, but you would need 1,000 times more of them to get the same effect.

> My parents in the UK don't have garage space (which is very common there - street parking is the norm in many places) and so they are stuck with ICE for the foreseeable future until infrastructure improves enough that they can charge nightly without needing garage space.

I live in an apartment in a not so big city in the US and don't have access to chargers. I still find it very convenient to find places to charge my Tesla and never worry about it!
Those don't really seem comparable to me. Perfume, maybe, I guess, but I doubt Uhaul is having a problem with serial perfume wearing. "Slippery slope" is a really weak argument, anyway. Unlike food and perfume, cigarettes cause real health and social issues. I don't see a problem with trying to address those. If you don't like it, don't work there. I do like it, so I find this to be an incentive to work there.
Tele-medicine could be a part of this - I have seen a rise in online services where patients can receive a diagnosis and some prescriptions by text/video chat with a doctor or nurse. I think this will likely continue expanding, perhaps even including decentralized, robotic surgery (see Intuitive Surgical), though I doubt this will ever be fully automated.
It seems like this code would be fairly easy to add to a simple 2.5D raycaster (either a cube variant like the old Wolfenstein, or something more advanced like Doom/Doom 2) to give some variation (or more "natural" stuff) for indoor/"outdoor" scenes.

It really isn't much different from floor/ceiling rendering code.

Something else I was thinking was if you flipped it upside down (and kept the current view), you could render "caves"; heck, it probably wouldn't take much effort to mod the current code to achieve this.

Somewhere I have code to a voxel rendering engine someone made in QBasic; they posted a demo of it on youtube, but never posted the code - I got in contact with them, and they sent me a copy of the code. The interesting thing they did, though, was add voxel rendering of "buildings" - you could easily go inside spaces and outside, all voxel rendered, and it was fast (for QB code).

Note - I know about Ken Silverman's voxel and other 3D engines he did in QB (and posted his old code), prior to Duke Nukem 3D - but this wasn't that code; it was completely original...

Anyhow - this is a great little "3D" engine; I'm glad it was posted!
No. What you're talking about is deliberately ignoring evidence generated by an anti-cheat so it has time to catch more players

There are no circumstances where it makes sense to ignore player-submitted video proof of cheating. This should always be acted on quickly to reassure legitimate players and scare cheaters off.

Cheaters know there are different ways to get banned. When one gets caught rage-hacking (abusing cheats in a flagrant manner, without any effort to conceal their cheating) and they return to warn the hive, all it does is discourage other cheaters from rage-hacking. Very few cheaters will do something that they know will get them banned quickly

You can lock helmets with bikes if you want. I used to lock my helmet with my u-lock on my bike, so if they cut off the helmet, then it isn't a very useful helmet. I now bring it with me in my bag mostly for hygenic reasons although.
> BERT-related PyTorch models training successfully on Cloud TPUs

How do you see it? Do you look at your client's code?
I disagree that it's a different problem. There's a branch of corporate environmentalism that says, hey, look, green things are great when they reduce costs. LEED certified buildings reduce energy costs, for example, so everyone is down for building and occupying them. It's great, because it's a win win, but it's not at all the whole story.

Plastic bags in the ocean are an externality, whose cost is hard to measure but is paid in the lives of wild things. The whole point of externalities is that people aren't bearing any cost for them: tax and/or ban is absolutely a reasonable approach to handling them, since it makes people take literal account of the literal downstream effects.

One more thing, on edit: the analysis you're calling for is good to do, but is also prone to the "seeing like a state" problem. The analysis will only include what can be easily measured... Which can leave out a lot of the story.

So you're dismissing my questions about CarPlay (not even it's virtues) because of an opinion you've formed of me based on my comment history? That's something... I haven't even looked at yours.

Do you always formulate a plan of attack when someone questions you about things?

> Would you ever seriously consider an Apple iPhone? Given comments you've made regarding iOS and Apple in the past, I suspect not, which makes the whole point moot in your context.

Every time I upgrade my phone. Being critical of something doesn't mean you dislike or dismiss it.

> Different people value things differently. That's okay, and you don't need to agree with their value judgements. Refusing to see that other's value judgements are okay for them—while not necessarily the same as yours—is important.

I don't disagree with you. In my comment I said I had never used CarPlay AND asked why people valued it. I then compared it (indirectly) to Android Auto, and then said that I didn't find Android Auto a compelling enough reason to influence my car buying decision. Again, I asked what is so compelling about CarPlay that it's a dealbreaker given all the other factors that go into purchasing a car.

Thus far your arguments for CarPlay have been to attack my character and frame me as an Apple hater.
Typesafe generics via a better void* would make me super happy. There are definitely other quality of life improvements that could be added or reworked that wouldn't affect the simplicity too much.

I think this would be amazing for some cities. I've used a electric motorcycle/scooter to commute around San Francisco for 3 years now, and it made me fall in love with the city again. I've used Jump e-bikes to get around as well instead of Uber/Lyfts when I can. (I'd use them more, but their service area stop a mile from my house)

Sadly I think SF is a good special case where it works well most of the year:

1. City is pretty compact. It's not exactly 7mix7mi, but not far off either.

2. Weather is pretty good most of the year. (no ice/snow/freezing rain, etc) Yes you can cycle in fog. ;)

3. Speed limit is 20mph in residential, and 30mph on busier roads, but congestion generally makes the impossible. Bike lanes are normally free.

4. Bike lanes/paths/routes are expanding throughout the city. Including nicely protected routes.

5. Parking and Gas are expensive here. I was just in Texas and filled up a car for < $20. I can't remember when I did that last.

Sure it's a dream, and I wish the article would come true here. Imagine how cool it would be to have tons of bikes on the road and so many less cars/ICE zooming around? Ok, maybe I'm just not a car person. ;)

There are hiccups though:

1. Carrying groceries/etc. You can't get a shopping cart full and take it home.

2. Kids...getting them to school. Cargo bikes here are an option, but they need to be a certain age and I do worry about safety. :/

3. It does rain...and ridding in the rain sucks. Most parts of the US get it so much worse though, it feels hard to complain.

4. Commuting via bike to work does take time/effort. Carrying a change of clothes, showering, etc, etc.
I'm in San Antonio as well and have switched to Currus NF [1] high speed electric scooter. For areas of San Antonio I believe it's totally feasible now and for others due to safety / lack of roads with viable route and 35 mph or lower speed limits it is not. I spend almost all of my time inside the 10 mile diameter area bounded by 410 on the north, 10 on the south, the AT&T Center on the east and Our Lady of the Lake on the west.

While the rented scooters downtown have been a mess during the roll out they have visibly reduced downtown auto traffic (much of which my hypothesis is was Lyft / Uber / Taxis).

I'm not sure the bandwidth will be as limited as you think. If the premium product catches on, further investments will be made to improve the premium product, and those benefits will eventually trickle down to the average user.

> Hard to see how it competes with the ~infinite bandwidth offered by fibre for normal usage, tho

1.) Wouldn't be surprised to see ISP's cap bandwidth per individual user and create additional "bandwidth" and "data usage" pricing tiers. Thanks to net neutrality being wiped out, it's now permissible to charge via "fast lanes" and "slow lanes" what makes you think this behavior will stop on the commercial side of things?

2.) You will have secure internet access basically everywhere you go, rather than jumping around different untrustworthy wifi networks. Also, won't need to deal with annoyances of being just outside your wifi network. (e.g. when you're doing yard-work or something)

3.) I could see StarLink encrypting data transmissions out of the box, so you wouldn't need to worry about getting a VPN, or ISP's selling your browsing history, etc
I found Gerwig's Little Women (of whom Jo March is the protagonist of, if you are an unread literary lurker like me) contains great depictions of the entire 'continuum' of femininity.

> languages should also remove unnecessary features

Languages are effectively immutable. Unless you can reach out and edit every single piece of code that breaks when you remove a feature, you can't remove a feature from a language. You can only create a new, almost identical language, and then spend a decade migrating people. This is what happened to Python2/3.

Very few things have been successfully deprecated in C or C++. Even massive security holes in the standard library.
You know, all those same things are true of a lightweight XFCE or Mate Linux desktop. They've been true for over a decade now.

Incidentally, I put Xubuntu on my grandma's computer for a few years.
The reference I offered summarizes the current state of knowledge about the linkages between climate change due to globally-rising CO2, and drought.

The quote I gave tells a couple of specific links. The report itself offers plentiful analysis to back the conclusions up.

You can't just dismiss this evidence by asserting "zero causal linkage" and then referring to a single paper that is not about climate at all.

*

I was trying to raise another general point. It's actually not surprising, due to the centrality of water in the Earth system, that global increases in CO2 (and hence, radiative forcing) would influence the distribution of water.

That's partly why the section on water and climate is chapter 3 of the report I linked instead of chapter 12.

I _think_ what the poster tried to say is:

"Now as I have been welcomed in this country I am willing to adopt their habbits because I want to be part of this community and the community will accept me more easily when I am doing so."
If the rest of the players think they'd have more fun if a really good player left, that's working as intended.
Team Fortress 2 is going through a nasty bot invasion right now (mostly on EU servers) and the community has been using the vote kick in a very good manner.

Most cheaters/bots are really easy to spot since they don't even try to be sneaky about it. You will see their view port instantly change, they never miss a shot, their cross hair always stays on a player model even behind wall, ...

Most people recognized the difference between a cheater and a good player fairly easily. It is even more blatant in a game like TF2 were most shots are actual projectile and not hitscan which mean that most cheater use a specific class/load out that is compatible with a basic aimbot.

Another way to see it is with cosmetics. Most cheater use throwaway account, they don't want their account with valuable items getting banned, so they only rock the basic cosmetics.

All of these combined make it so that I never saw an actual good player getting kicked. I don't know if Battlefield V has similar system, but making player care more about their account actually provide a good filter for this kinds of situations.
We handle cheating in our Battlefield 1942 server by requiring players to submit their public IP to admins to be explicitly whitelisted. There have been numerous cheaters and trolls we have easily banned over the years.
