Is 100yrs that hard? I recently watched "The Little Giant" (1933) where the main character claims to have over a million dollars and is kind of retiring. I found it fun to look up what that million dollars would be worth today. According to one site it is $18 million. He went to a hotel in Santa Barbara where he was paying $45 a night for a giant suite. That comes out to over $800 a night which sounds like it might be in the correct ballpark. He gave is girlfriend who he was breaking up with a check for $25k which came out to about $500k in todays terms it seems. He rented a 20 bedroom 12 bathroom mansion for $1450 a month which is apparently $25k today. Sounds reasonable for a 20 bedroom mansion?

Those all seem like reasonable numbers.

PS: not recommending the movie. It was cute but not great.
I asked for this on a recent Wells Fargo call as I got disconnected from the previous one when they put me on hold. They said they don’t do that. Maybe you need a million dollars with them before they do, I don’t know.
Article title is: How to win Monopoly in the shortest possible time

As for being bad, perhaps a reference to "The site boardgamegeek.com, a database which aggregates reviews from players, lists Monopoly at 18,583 out of 18,591 rated games. The game has an average rating of 4.36 out of 10 from over 25,000 reviews. The lowest ranked game, if you are curious, is Tic-Tac-Toe."

Along with the game rule that the bank can not run out of money.

Though I'm not sure that rule is bad, and if they could run out of money, they would have to add a rule that if it does, all players must give the bank money. Which would make it a bit too real in many ways for it to be fun.
That's very similar to a Trump discussion, before he could read.

It sure has the same "added value".

I mentioned a couple of arguments that could be discussed, your statement seems a sign of ignorance and having the last word :)
Of course, I go back to the 1990s with this stuff, and your experience matches mine, to the extent that I got lawsuit threats for doing research on programs I ran on my own machines. I find the idea that H1 is making it legally riskier to conduct research patently silly.
TLS port was just a thought, as I want to reduce cases where turn server is used because of a limitation with scalability (65k connection limit per turn server due to a shared source ip). But our discussion has raised another issue regarding mediasoups limitation of one source per local port - which compounds the issue.

I’m replacing a web socket server with a data channel server. If I use mediasoup then I will need to listen over 4 ip4 addresses to support the 200k clients I can currently support on 1 ip address with web sockets. Not a huge deal right now, but if I want to support millions of user it means managing 40 or so ip addresses instead of 1 or 2.

Not knocking mediasoup at all, just now aware of a limitation that sounds like it doesn’t need to exist so seeing if we can do something about it.
As far as I know all this is controversial. Some tribal zones are under nearly constant low-intensity warfare, other know rare but rather sever episodes. In many other areas war is sporadic and each conflict is, by convention, halted after a rather limited event (first wound, first blood, or first death). In at least some cases neighboring tribes intervention forbids escalation (as they have members coming from the tribes at war, or want to avoid unpleasant side-effects, for example arson).

Someone unhappy can escape from a tribal zone, and (albeit not easy) it is much more easy than to escape from our civilization.

In the same vein escaping a tribe or tribal war may not be easy, but one may have major problem showing to me that escaping modern society or modern war (or, worse, a full-blown world war, or nuke war) is more easy.

In our very own towns there are very violent subcultures, composed of a rather high amount of people. Many women living in gang zones have life paths (companions killed, maimed, overdosed, in prison for life...) similar to the ones of the New Guinea’s Iyau women. One may also check the lumpen proletariat, living and dying in IMHO appalling conditions. Is this representative of our civilization? Are those Iyau's women representative of tribal life (in each and every tribe)? Are those last less able to escape than gangzone women?

Each civilization has zones of extreme occurrences of nearly any type of event (here of violence), and at least partially locks people into their present situation.

Studies about the amount of violent deaths in the past are difficult to assess. Some tribe members invented stories in order to satisfy their audience (anthropologists).

What an individual is living (or really able to do) in a given culture is very difficult to understand and represent in another context, as illustrated by Horace Miner's Nacirema 'study'. Not to mention than cultural relativism and moral relativism heavily taint all this. Moreover various forms of 'biases' in studies, some extreme, are known ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secrets_of_the_Tribe ).

A fundamental question is to me "is someone born in a random tribe more free than we are to chose his lifepath?"

The excerpt you quoted comes from Diamond's "Guns, Germs and Steel..." book. This author opinion is quite different from some "tribal life is too violent, we are more happy" motto ( https://www.theguardian.com/science/2013/jan/06/jared-diamon... )

I see you trying to walk this back, but to be clear: you wrote pretty directly as if there was no incentive for bounty participants to submit bogus bounty reports --- practically in those words --- and, obviously, the exact opposite is self-evidently true to anyone who has ever managed a bounty program.

You could have just written that the article was bad. You'd have been right! But instead you wrote a long comment about how everybody quoted in the piece was talking their book, and then doubled down with some crazy assertions.

It's about the extent. Smallpox was devastating only when people traveled quickly far away. Our current COVID-19 pandemics is only possible to such an extent for the very same reasons.
How Covid-19 tests work?
Healthy young people with no underlying health issues (kind of redundant). So sorry about those with diabetes. 33% of the US population (100M) had diabetes in 2017. So that's just too bad. How about obesity? According to the CDC, 40% of people age 20-39 are obese. Sucks to be them. Same with cancer patients, smokers, anyone with a compromised immune system.

Your plan is simply immoral. The facts show that it would lead to immense loss of life, while we can simultaneously help business stay afloat. And most economists agree that the economy should be a secondary consideration to the health battle.
Very cool! I was in particular dealing with MP4s that also had subtitle tracks that I wanted to preserve.
Thanks for taking the time to read my article. In this situation there aren’t any obvious winners except those with cash that will be able to buy properties and other assets at discounted prices given the cascade of selling we’re likely to see in the coming weeks and months. Banks will suffer with non performing loans across many industries and loan types. Banks also have compression of net interest margins with rates close to zero. But banks are in good shape going into this mess and will likely be backstopped by the federal government and will probably come out in a lot better shape than other stakeholders.
Transactional DDL. I for the life of me cannot understand how anyone survives in production without this. Half-applied migrations will prevent you from both deploying new code and rolling back to the old. Expect significant downtime.

One of the exclusions that I find interesting is any faculty that has a joint position at a company. A lot of great professors get 0 credit because of this.

Another one is that you are penalized for having student authors on your papers.
A fun thought experiment is what if you could go back in time to year nnnn, pick a time, and you could only take with you 1 lb of material, or X kg, name some reasonable amount you can carry by hand. What would you take with you ? Fun game. But for a time greater than say 120 years, I would argue 1lb of aluminum would make you a kajillionaire since it was not until around 1900 or so that it was possible to refine it, before then it was one of the rarest materials. You could also name things like a computer, a machine gun etc. This little thought game sort of highlights the issue discussed in this thread. Imagine how much you would have made if you had been able to race that chariot guy if you had say a modern 4x4 (assuming you could find gas) although that violates the 1lb rule:)

And you are an expert? Basic Google just backed me up.
My understanding is that monopoly by itself is not illegal but it is the abuse of one’s market position in one thing to gain advantage in another. Not saying this is correct, just, or legal, just saying that’s what I think is how things are at least in the US.

It does have a mild blur filter which you can remove, but if it isn’t actually stabilizing the video from shakiness, something is wrong.

See here: https://ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg-filters.html#vidstabdetect-1

Maybe your ffmpeg build doesn’t have it? Also try removing the log level parameter.
Reminds me a little of genvid.

They make tech that takes data from streamed games and lets you use that data to make interactive client side overlays on the stream that sync to the game.

Related, after a major version upgrade it doesn't automatically run an ANALYZE on every table. Without this the query planner can't properly plan. It treats a billion row table the same as a 20 row table until you think to manually kick off the magic command.
There's a theory about phishing emails that they deliberately make them slightly more obvious in order to weed out people like yourself who are unlikely to fall for them, to increase the average ROI of time spent on dealing with responses.

You can use hyperlinks as a navigational tool as well. You can get a link to any paragraph on any page and paste anywhere else. You can also use tags and "tag summary pages."
I had a lot of really great conversations with completely random people tonight. It was a lot of fun chasing them around the little map, screaming "YOU BETTER RUN!" And then talking about VR and open source and projects and even foreign language learning. It's weird, I didn't set out to have "open office hours for the internet at large", but it's now kind of feeling like a thing, and I'm kind of liking it. Maybe that's the take-away with this stupid project. Maybe everyone should have their own, private voice chat server where anyone else can hop in at any time.
> nimble install docopt
> echo "import docopt" > test.nim
> nim c test.nim

Nim's package management isn't exactly rocket surgery. Even if you use nimble as a build tool it's still extremely straight forward:

> nimble init
> echo 'require "docopt"' >> projectname.nimble
> echo "import docopt" > src/projectname.nim
> nimble build

Notice the lack of explicitly installing docopt, nimble build takes care of unmet dependencies.

That's it! Now you know everything there is to know about Nim package management. (Not quite, but close enough)

Previously to this month I was a Senior Machine Learning engineer at Zest.ai. I have over a decade of professional experience as a backend engineer with Python before that.

I accepted a job offer at the highest salary I'd ever been offered late February. At the time some coworkers were stuck in China and I thought "there's a non-zero probability covid-19 f's everything up, but it'll be fine."

Started the new job on 3/16. The company didn't exist anymore after 3/27.

I agree with everything you said about being ready in time, but if they had a working ship I don't think they'd worry all that much about having a high-quality payload. Offer some nominal cost cubesat slots for whoever wants them and land it empty? Sure, why not.
Factory Classes – Fail
Pretty much the number 1 thing that could be done to clean up our code base is delete anything with the suffix "factory" in its name.

The number 2 thing, is anything with more than 3 parameters in its constructor is on the edge of being too big.

The number 3 thing, if you can't new up an object in less than 5 seconds, it's too big.

For goodness sake. I have actually found "Factory" classes that have "Factory" classes in their f-bomb constructors.

Any developer currently typing the word "Factory", or considering it, is pretty much coding the anti-pattern of all anti-patterns.
I'm willing to debate that assertion, but I will win.

Future pull request reviews - anything with the word "Factory" in it - automatic FAIL. And don't think that "ManufacturingComplex" is going to fool anyone - although it might be a better name for the damn thing.
A good prediction includes not only a date on which to judge the prediction, making it falsifiable, but also a subjective probability, to account for genuine random chance. After all, there are few things in life we can be 100% certain about. For example, you may think the polls show such overwhelming support for a candidate that they will definitely win an upcoming election, but there is always a slight chance that they die of a heart attack, or be scandalously revealed as taking bribes from the opposition to be their puppet.

Here’s an example of a well-formatted prediction, from https://slatestarcodex.com/predictions-bets/: “Gay marriage will remain legal throughout a Trump presidency [confidence: 95%]” (prediction made 2016-11-15). That page also has some more detail on the theory of making predictions.

For this situation, david_w could give a prediction like “I think there is a 90% probability the EFF will support banning strong encryption by 2021-07-01.” Then, if the prediction turns out to be false, it either means David was wrong and he should have been much less confident, or he was right and encountered that unlucky one-in-ten unusual situation. And you, the observer who would personally estimate a different probability of that prediction coming true, could calculate the probabilities of those two situations being the case by using various formulas, including Bayes’ theorem. (David himself could also calculate the probabilities of those two situations, and use that to decide whether to change any of his views on the EFF.)

If your contact list is small enough to be people that you know well, though, it's not a bad policy. Most scammers are not going to be equipped to imitate my brother's or my wife's voice and mannerisms well enough for me to believe them.
Had a similar situation, mobile provider had called me to offer me a deal, was no CLI showing - usual withheld affair, as is the case of many companies alas (though mindful that can be spoofed).

Again, same situation, wanted to very who I was and when I wanted them to verfy who they was we ended up in a circle-dance.

But it is important and getting their number or in your case, a branch to go into - something you can prove with a degree of confidence is important. Many will happily give out information. In my early days of work(before CLI and still analogue exchanges afoot) a friend pulled a joke upon me, phoned up pretending to be TAX office and to verify details. It's easy to fall foul of such things and been a source of many scams against less aware and older people less savy of such.

One way is to partialy give information and ask them for some back that they are verfying againt.

Also if you ask them to verify details they will (legit even) use the data protection law flavour of the country to say they are not allowed to do that and very easy to get into a circle-dance.

Which makes online more secure than the whole phone network with all it's legacy overhead opening up to abuse such as spoofing. Bit like the early days of the internet and spoofing IP's, not so easy today (mostly if routers configured right as most are).
Very similar to a speech I heard by Dick Fuld
AFAIK the games and races were free to attend, and were sponsored by the wealthy (especially the emperor) as a sop to the crowds. There was even a government office (quaestor iirc), whose job was essentially only to sponsor public games - holding the office was an important step in building your public image in the city, but also often meant borrowing incredible sums from even wealthier patrons. This is partly why Julius Caesar spent most of his career deeply in debt, for example.
Maybe because I'm a addicted to node but I usually use npm to install ffmpeg

You’re probably right. It’s like they’re not even really digesting the numbers I and at least one other person have put in front of them. There’s some extreme cognitive dissonance going on if they really think that the results of just unleashing this in force on the population are really the same whether you do it all at once or spread it out over an arbitrary period. These are not fiscal installment payments, and we can’t just wave a magic wand and suddenly make our healthcare system capable of handling it over night.

After thinking about it for a moment, I really hope you’re right, because the alternatives just make me sad.
