The mismanagement of the franchise turned off so many people. This caused Solo to tank.

This cause lots of major talent such as Lawrence Kasdan, David Benioff and D.B. Weiss to leave the franchise.

Benioff and Weiss were slated to do a whole new trilogy for Star Wars, but they suddenly realized they didn't have time.

I would argue the meta matters a lot less than you may think even in MOBAs.

At most levels, just being very very good at a few characters, even if they're off-meta picks, will do better than someone who picks on-meta and doesn't have a good fundamental skill with the champion.

Now, most players keep a pool of champions they have solid (or at least better) fundamentals so that as the meta shifts they can fall back to others. Additionally there are cross-champ skills like strategic considerations that can carry you.

It's also weird because in MOBAs the updates literally change the balance of the game, so by some definitions this actually changes the fundamentals which causes the meta to have to react. So really most players are chasing relearning the fundamentals (oh geez Zeus is nerfed into uselessness!).

I had good experience with the Headspace app for this. This kind of meditation especially is a learnable skill, so after a few weeks you probably won't need the app anymore.
Yeah, I'd like to see some improvement too. Simply asking strangers who you think may be like you feels weak.

>Iger will assume the role of executive chairman through 2021 according to Disney’s statement.

Look, I don't give a shit if this guy lives or dies in a fire tomorrow. I'm not defending him. If the news was he hung himself today, I'm still going to wake up tomorrow at 4:55am, pee, drink some water, and go jog. Just like I did this morning. I might get dressed after I jog, that I play by ear.

But I feel like you're making a mountain out of a conspiracy theory molehill. Again, he's human. Maybe he's been diagnosed with something? Maybe a family member isn't doing well and he feels guilty for wasting the last 15 years on something silly as money? Maybe he found Jesus? Maybe he had a severe mental breakdown? Maybe he found a new young hot thing to run away with and live on an island? Maybe he wants to go be an impressionist painter full time? All of those reasons are perfectly reasonable to not care about "alarming" people he doesn't know (the general public).

While it's fine to think something may be fishy, you can't rely on one piece of circumstantial evidence to start throwing out conjecture willy-nilly. To make a decent event forecast, you need at bare minimum three independently sourced bits of circumstantial evidence to even start feeling you might be on to something. That's bare minimum just to warrant doing a real dive. Other than that, you're just grabbing smoke and chasing ghosts.

>If I buy tickets to a concert, then decide not to go to that concert, I'm not entitled to my money back.

that's not some universal truth, that's a loss-reduction scheme that certain live event ticket sales groups adhere to.

In some cases it isn't even loss-reduction, it's just a means to increase profit; there may not be a loss associated with refunding a ticket to a venue that isn't sold out and has unassigned seating other than some virtual infrastructure loss like "they used the bandwidth of our service without creating a profit this session ", which is basically the equivalent of a restocking fee at a small pawnshop where an already hourly (otherwise idle) paid employee just throws the product back on a shelf (aka : bullshit).
Perhaps the best use of the meta, as noted in the article, is to help guide you to understanding what are the fundamentals to learn, and they help filter down what fundamentals you need to learn.

Zeus is never picked? Great! Don't need to learn that kit. Or perhaps digging into why Zeus isn't picked can help inform why another character is more useful especially in conjunction with others in a team.

Unrelated to your comment, but having a job as a pharmacist has changed drastically over the past 20 years.

It used to be a ticket to an upper middle class life. Pharmacies were desperate to hire and starting wages were well above $100,000.

Then pharmacies schools popped up. Lots of them. Wages are dropping and not everyone who graduates gets a residency or a job.

It’s been fascinating to watch because I considered pharmacy school a long time ago.

Glad I never did it.
> Like a conference on I dunno, Brazilian businesses, maybe they only want Brazilian speakers

AFAIK there's an exception if it's vital part of the job, like in that case (a conference about Brazillian businesses I presume). I was thinking more like, a node.js conference where you say "no muslim speakers allowed".
If that's the case, then why are we seeing Wal-Mart attempting to compete in the healthcare sector with what seem to be competitive prices?

Doesn't seem to be limited to just Wal-Mart either. An Oklahoma City Hospital began posting its prices online and started a bidding war[1]. The hospital lobby seems to be overwhelmingly opposed to price transparency out of fear that it will lower prices[2], and there are Yelp-like directories that are beginning to provide price transparency allowing for competitive rates like $79 MRI's[3].

His point is valid though. If the cut off is 100 lbs and allow for 1 lbs more, then it really is is 101 lbs. Someone weighing 102 would still be fired and so on.

Maybe older people have more problem keeping weight off (evolution) so this is also a way to keep them fit and young. I get the BMI thing not being accurate but then, maybe they don't want "big-boned" or muscular women there.

Hold up.

1. "Doesn't work for some people" is subject to the same fallacy as "worked for me." Not letting you get away with that one.

2. Working on yourself is very obviously the best way to attract someone else. Statistically speaking we get the most attention from those who perceive our value to be slightly above theirs (people tend to aim for the best around that they don't think are "out of their league"). Increase your own value and you will get more attention from higher value potential partners.

There's a little bit of a catch 22 in that if you work on yourself just to try to be more attractive you probably won't succeed. Things like genuine enthusiasm for a hobby are very attractive and hard to fake, for example. But if you become a person anyone would be lucky date it's not going to be hard to find dates, provided you leave the basement once in a while.

I think maybe you misunderstood what I'm asking.

Why couldn't such a spy just hardcode their own DNS server IP address, rather than using your network provided DNS server? If the answer is that you'll blacklist the spy's DNS servers, then how is that any different than the situation with DoH?

DoH isn't adding any value for the spy unless you are doing deep packet inspection of any packet that contains DNS data.
Some relevant questions are whether the demand is elastic and how difficult to compare and/or fungible the product is. Medical care is inelastic (without it you die) and difficult to compare (you don't get to try the same surgery with two different providers). Food is inelastic (even more so), and easy to compare, but many foods are very fungible (your supermarket will let you choose red white or yellow onions, but not which farm your onions come from). Demand for clothing is more elastic (you need it but you can probably wait for a sale), and it's easy to compare the items.
Yes, this is called remote operation or teleoperation and many people have attempted it. But as far as I can see, they all hit against the latency/bandwidth/availability barriers. The hope is that 5G will help.

> Curious why you think a browser company should be acting as a middle man and taking a cut of revenue from the publisher or content creator?

Well not just any browser company, but a browser company that improves the status quo and convinces me that they deserve it. In this hypothetical, the answer to your question is "because they deserve it".

The revenue usually isn't moving from me as the consumer directly to the producer, rather it is provided by advertisers who are engaged in ever escalating tactics to increase their efficiency, with little regard for me and my privacy as a consumer. With adblocking, we have two sets of people: a smaller group who browse without benefiting the advertisers who compensate the producers, and a larger group who browse while being enablers to the user-hostile privacy violating tactics used by most advertisers.

Neither of these situations is truly desirable in the long term. I don't seen any ideal solutions, and I believe that any entity which can move us towards a new and better model might be deserving of compensation, regardless of where they sit in the stream of data.

I did not attack the commenter personally,"brigade" or an ad-hominem argument. I think you might be misunderstandig our conversation here, this being a text medium it is hard to comminicate tone and body language. It's not uncommon for me to say a phrase like in technical arguments with people I get along with very well. This is a technical discourse not a interpersonal one, my disagreement is with the supposed factual statements not the person as such how can it be a swipe against them?

That said, I will avoid that specific phrase on this site as you asked.

> But there is something about degree-level maths and beyond that I find deeply unintuitive in a way that software development isn't.

Grok.

Over the years, I come to the conclusion that one of the stumbling blocks is the definition/concept of "application". Just like the definition of "theory" is different for a layman ("My theory is..." == "My guess is...") than from a scientist's definition ("My theory is" == "My logical framework which incorporates all of the available data is..."), so the definition of "application" is different between mathematicians and engineers.

I've noticed that math books with titles like "$HIGHER_ORDER_MATH with Applications" means "$HIGHER_ORDER_MATH with Exercises". What I'm looking for is something like "$HIGHER_ORDER_MATH with Real-World Uses".

I've known LA for decades but, like you, where would I use it in my life? The turning point for me was Andrew Ng's Deep Neural Network course.

I knew that a DNN is a program of matrix operations, but how do you get 5,000 images into a matrix? One way is to resize all the images to the same n x n size, take the first pixel of each picture and break them into their RGB components. You now have the first three rows of your input matrix. Repeat for all other pixels and voila! You have a 5,000 x n matrix that you can do linear algebra on! _That's_ an application; having me add two matrices together is an exercise.

Since that insight, I've used LA in my job in the hospitably sector with impressive success because now I know how to apply it. Math books and 3B1B show you the math. We engineers (or at least this one) need real world uses.
I think the book was The Sleep Book:

These should be solvable problems, considering that much lower prices exist in most of the world.

That they were able to override the MCAS for several minutes is clear indication it was a recoverable issue with the right training. In fact, a different crew in the same plane the day before did just that.

To return back to the original point for a moment:

40 seconds is a shitload more time to react than the 1-2 seconds you've got when oncoming car traffic veers into your lane unexpectedly. Things in cars happen faster than in planes. A couple seconds of inattention in a plane won't kill you in the same way they will in a car.

VCV Rack is much more appropriate if your goal is to "emulate [modular] in software".

CSound is a wonderfully cool piece of software. It's not an effective way for people who want to do in software what they do with hardware modular: obtain modules, put them in a rack, and connect them up.

Finally, eurorack has nothing to say about computer architecture,in the context of digital computers. It's an analog synthesis system, which means that it's an analog computer (even if some of the internals are digital).

I really recommend you check out VCV Rack. It is a deeply amazing piece of software, both in terms of its concept, but also the way that its author has created an ecosystem for modules and modules authors.
Please keep in mind that IoT is not just home device, but also machines in factories, utilities and so on.

I think what the GP is referring to is the dominant narrative over the last 15+ years that every website has to be 'monetised' with varying degrees of advertising based user abuse. Wikipedia has obviously been a conspicuous counter-example to that but it's been the large exception that proves the rule (in terms of narrative). It's always refreshing to see new examples of the web being used as a medium to freely disseminate information and culture without any form of user abuse attached. Commerce is fine but I personally see any form of push advertising as user abuse (even without the user tracking that nearly always comes with it).

Edit to add: I see that another reply (from jimmaswell) is still running the advertising 'business model' narrative.
Does anyone know how this differs from what Subtle Medical is doing? https://subtlemedical.com/
A handful (probably already the maximum that the model supports) of websites can get by on donations (and then have their hands tied as to how to use the money, potentially preventing expansion or major changes), and a website that's nothing but "<primarily offline company>'s website" doesn't need ads or anything in the first place because it's just for information on the main business (but if they'd profit more from running some ads on it I wouldn't blame them; optimally that would lower prices but in reality it would just go to the CEO's bonuses); these do not disprove that the ad/subscriprion models are the most viable way for most internet businesses to operate.
They don't.

CEO's don't have to build consensus. They can, and do, purge their ranks of dissidents. Iger, in particular, has been aggressive about this over time.

You cannot simply "fire" the people who disagree with you when you are President. We have seen what happens when you try to do that.

To be clear, I disagree with your use of the word "should". The world is messy and imperfect, and particularly when it comes to advertising one might say "evil". We will not be achieving utopia any time soon, so I would embrace a solution which is better than what we are currently doing, even if it is not ideal.
