My message got flagged just for saying that the CCP should discover the vaccine for Covid 19 and give democratic rights to people of China and someone flagged my message.
> unlikely to ever port to ARM

Game developers have been porting their games to ARM for long time now. Sometimes, like GTA San Andreas, even for windows ARM, but these days the platform is usually iOS, Android, or Nintendo Switch. Historically there were others, PS Vita, Nintendo DS, they all had ARM CPUs.
Perhaps it's more politically profitable to let people die and blame it on the rednecks who refuse to accept change.
Why shouldn’t there be a tariff? These seems fair.

> The NYT now has (for argument's sake) six times as many subscribers, all paying slightly more than six times as much.

There have been many many efforts to have sites that provide access to multiple news sources for a single price. Apple News, PressReader, Magzster, and more.

Newspapers and their corporate owners have ample data on your claim that low single prices massively increase the audience. I'm guessing your claim is not supported by the real world data and that's why they haven't adopted the model.

After all, only 16% of people have said they are willing to pay any amount of money to read the news. That's a total market of 40 million people. The NY Times has 6 million subscribers, so they've already captured 15% of the market. Your claim that they could capture 6x means this mythical service would capture 90% of the total available market.

Which just seems...implausible on the surface. Netflix doesn't even have remotely that penetration -- only 51% -- and they've been around forever, have massive brand recognition, have tons of money, have unique properties to draw viewers, etc, etc.
1. TikTok is actually not cooperating with the Chinese gov't (and maybe this is the CCP's way of showing them that it goes both ways).

> The country’s top media regulator on Tuesday ordered the company, Bytedance, to shut down its app for sharing jokes and silly videos. Vulgar content on the Neihan Duanzi app had “caused strong dislike among internet users,” a brief notice from the State Administration of Radio and Television said. The company was told to clean up its other platforms, too.
How would you define a “concept” then? How do concepts themselves intrinsically have meaning that symbols don’t?
This argument is predicated on value creation being the primary determining factor in salary, and I think that’s probably worth a second thought
I feel like their entire mission changed around the time of their merger with Activision. I remember reading a long time ago the original devs saying they made games they would want to play, and I believe it showed. The most obvious example of that to me were the game stories. Back then the stories and background lore had depth and were fascinatingly interesting. Characters felt like they had real motivations and reasons for doing things, the worlds felt believable, gritty, and sometimes unforgiving.

I don't know if it was Activision's influence, many of the original devs moving on, or World of Warcraft coming out, but since then everything about the company seems to have changed. So much of what they do nowadays just seem like money grabs. They release pay to win content meant to be addictive, dumbed down their art style to looking like cartoons that appeal to the least common denominator, follow trends instead of doing anything innovating, and seem to have completely stopped caring about making any interesting story. The villains in Diablo 3 were comically badly written.

At some point they even tried to force users to use their REAL WORLD names on battle.net[1].

It really isn't the same company as it used to be in the early 2000's.

But even aside from Napster and CD-Rs and iPods, the seeds of a downturn were planted in the 1980s.

There had been generations of format replacements-- cylinders to 78 to 45 to 33, reel-to-reel to weird cartridges and 8-track, then onward to compact cassette, but the CD ended up being the last meaningful physical audio format.

It's durable enough that people aren't having to re-buy their favourites after they unspool in the player, or the groove was reamed out by a heavy tonearm. It's high-fidelity enough that a replacement format won't make a sonic difference on most consumer grade equipment. It's convenient enough that people didn't need to buy another format as a compromise for portable play.

This meant all past business models for music consumption were going to fail as CDs reached saturation. You're not going to be selling a lot of classic albums anymore. The only way to go forward would have been an endless supply of new content, but then we get to the matter of attention and shelf space being finite.

Sure, Napster may have been pulled the trigger, but it shot an uindustry that was already on the verge of a massive coronary.
Made even worse by levelled or lifted trucks with headlights that aren't even properly adjusted in the first place.
It's legal statewide and specifically because it would be unfair for men to have the exclusive privilege.
> Telecoms won't properly build out infrastructure to avoid LTE deadspots, and yet are pushing 5G

Its not entirely irrational - if your customers spend 99% of their time in some given area, it could make sense to improve capacity in those areas instead of chasing that last 1% of coverage.

I have 7 years of experience in DevOps / Platform / Site Reliability Engineering. I'm a maintainer of Kops (a Kubernetes cluster management tool) and have years of experience building and maintaining self-serve CI-based solutions for Kubernetes clusters and cloud resource management with Terraform. I've worked to significantly improve reliability of high volume services (>15k req/sec) and their underlying infrastructure. I've helped reduce outage frequency and impact while also reducing lead time on infrastructure needs through automation and the aforementioned self-serve solutions. I can facilitate engineering team growth by helping establish infrastructure patterns for success.
Can't really give you any recommendations in terms of PCR or gel hardware, other than just be really really careful about opening post-reaction tubes. Looks like you've done a bunch of mycology work, so you're part of the way there. Unfortunately, you need like the opposite of a laminar flow setup - you need to be pulling all the air over your workspace away from you and getting it as far away from where you're prepping your PCR reactions. PCR amplicon cleaning is a bitch (basically you're stuck with bleach or maybe blasting with UV).

Amplicon will get onto anything (including the sleeves of your lab coat) and show up as annoying random products for weeks down the line.

Good luck! Bookmarked your site.
And this comment both explains why it's the way it is, and proposes an improvement:

For solving mazes, here's the most popular algorithm:

Touch the wall or hedge with the hand nearest to it, left or right. Keep that same hand touching the wall and keep walking. This may take you on a horribly long route, but it will eventually get you out.

[...]

Rather than doing complete randomness when choosing directions, I think it would be actually better to assign an strategy for each player (once they enter the attraction), setting their default direction to "always clockwise" (as it was before this PR) or "always counter-clockwise".

https://github.com/OpenRCT2/OpenRCT2/pull/12546#issuecomment...
Maybe I'm missing something here, but there doesn't seem to be anything that guarantees the same number of guests enter each maze and the longer mazes seem to be placed farther from the entrance. Wouldn't this bias the results? (Of course the conclusion that the maze gives the pathfinding algorithm a hard time is the same.)

Tell that to people who have died or are permanently disabled because of covid. What an idiotic, false, and asshole thing to say.
I'd say there's several factors working in the same direction

At the very top levels, everyone has very close to the same level of preparation in terms of physical training, equipment, and mental preparation. A lot of the result comes down to your mental edge on a particular day, and some luck. The mental edge is the most fickle and difficult part of the skill set, yet it is virtually everything at the top. So, everyone recognizes that they may have an on or an off day.

Recognition that just in general, a position at the top is fragile, and it is not about your previous result, but your next result, which is uncertain.

Recognition that your competitors are also extremely good and prepared, and respect for them also leads to humility.

Then, even if they've got multiple world championship seasons under their belt, they see the context of the other greats in their sport (or similar in their field).

The post-qualifying and post-race interviews in Formula 1 auto racing often provide great examples. The top qualifiers will almost always say something like: "we qualified well, we think we're prepared, and hope for a good result tomorrow.". And after winning the race, it's about the team effort and the way things fell into place to make the win. I can't recall hearing anything resembling trash-talk in that environment.
Why are you attacking a "fanbase" mentality when there is none? YOLO stood for a series of networks and subsequent improvements by PJ Redmon, derivative work like PP-YOLO still signals that it's derivative work, but ones like "YOLOv5" signal that it's an updated/ improved version, which it is not.

This weird defence pretty much confirms that Ultralytics and Roboflow are related though.
> I'm almost certain my pay is different from my colleagues, but I've bargained like hell to get it. When I was hired, every time we've been acquired. I'm no executive either, I'm just a developer with a proven history of give-a-damn.

Whether or not pay discrepancies can be fair, this doesn't sound like a case of them being fair. What happens to your (hypothetical) colleague who gives just as much of a damn as you do, but doesn't feel comfortable hitting the appropriate negotiation notes to get their due?

Similarly: given that companies are liable to offer a lower initial rate to women and minorities, how do we account for the fact that they might negotiate just as hard as you and still end up behind?

The users of the app, naturally. The concerns over it being a CCP-controlled app are about the risks to the users of the app.

Having it be a US-controlled app does not reduce those risks.
Sadly your pay has little to do with merit, and more to do with perception, connections, face time and ability to handle office issues better than your cohort.

It may well be, if not more likely to be, the other way round - you could be a GOOD performer, but since you can't or don't gork office politics, you are underpaid or even not at the level of challenge and seniority you should be.

talk about disconnected from society. a lot of people have seen him on a magazine or heard the name on the news. along with about 20 other names. every day. for decades. and the name is forgotten an hour later, with a thousand other names.

as far as your point, the 1% of people here reading recognized the name. didn't know why, then googled and remembered. the jury is not here. it's '12 random people from the dmv,' and they don't recognize it, nor will they care to google it. they don't even know who steve jobs is, and won't google it on their iphone.
A thermocycler is simple: it heats up and cools down in series of programmable cycles. The thing being heated and cooled is often a tube of DNA and reagents. The strands of DNA denature, or separate into individual strands, at a specific temperature and the reverse happens (annealing) at cooler temps. Imagine peeling apart a double strand of DNA creating two single strands. Now imagine making each single strand whole again by plugging in free-floating nucleotides. You'd now have two strands of DNA when you started with one. This is a simplified explanation of DNA amplification and is quite useful for taking a small sample of DNA and making lots of copies for analysis like sequencing.
it's too late for the engine to "take care of it" when the problem presents itself - because there are existing tooling and frameworks that already fixes this problem (such as native widgets, or electron).

so godot will only see usage as a GUI framework for the use cases that won't see emoji or non-english IME.
The whole point is to get you hooked in the first place.

Scenario

1. You succeed, your startup is now worth something ( big or small ), you will be dealing with scaling issues, people issues, marketing issues, profits issues or gazillion of other small things, the last thing you want is switching your infrastructure provide.

2. You failed, or burn through those cash, but not to worry, since your are backed by incubator or early stage VC, the likely hood of you getting another round of funding is high. And those will be used on AWS anyway.

There are very little downside to AWS but lots of upside.
The benefit to you, though small, is realizing you're a top earner and valued. And you wouldn't have known that had others not shared, which is a bit selfish. I'm not advocating for equity in pay. I am advocating against people being taken advantage of, which they are. No company is going to reduce your pay because person X wants a raise. If they did, quit?

I worked on a construction crew one summer in 1966 building concrete structures for a sewage treatment plant. Based on this article, not much has changed.

It was interesting to see the hierarchy of the various trades. The rodbusters (rebar workers) were cocky, fast, and had no body-fat. The carpenters that built the forms for the concrete were fat, slow, and drank vodka all day. And the laborers (e.g. me) were there mainly to entertain everyone else, lol.

Well except Tesla and ExxonMobil just setup their WOFE in China.
Japan has pretty much 100% mask coverage, but the number of cases is still rising rapidly.

To be fair, not nearly as fast as the US, but masks are not a panacea.
Review practices sure, but not actually do anything.

“Sec. 2. Review of Contracting and Hiring Practices.” ...

“Within 120 days of the date of this order, the head of each agency shall submit a report to the Director of the Office of Management and Budget summarizing the results of the reviews required by subsections (a) through (c) of this section; recommending, if necessary, corrective actions that may be taken by the agency and timeframes to implement such actions; and proposing any Presidential actions that may be appropriate.”

Of note the election is only 91 days from now. He had just under 4 years to get something done and this is an executive order focused on submitting a report after the election.

Correct in what sense? Both statements are borne out by the evidence. You are each choosing to select different representations of those facts as the most salient.
I could really use something like that, with the additional ability to add custom sources.

My use cases:

I read e-books in Calibre[1]. When I read novels in The Witcher series or in the Forgotten Realms meta-series, I need to lookup words that may or may not be just a creature in the universe of the novel. Having a page that automatically looks up a word in both real dictionaries and in The Witcher or Forgotten Realms wiki would be really cool.

My daughter also reads e-books in Calibre, but her English is nowhere near my level. It's a second language for her. So she needs to be able to look up words in English-Chinese dictionaries.

This is awesome, I was actually searching out something similar but I liked Frontendor.

I agree that 10% reduction is not much in normal situation but not when ICU are at capacity or economy is shut down.

This is, to begin with, essentially how operating in China works. Uber was forced to sell their Chinese operations to Didi Chuxing, AWS is prohibited from operating datacenters in China and forced into partnerships with local telecom companies, Google's services are uniformly banned. Operating in China means forming a partnership with a local company that you must turn over your IP to, before eventually you are kicked out of China so that the partner company can take your place entirely.
(Bluetooth) vs (Bluetooth, AUX) supported connection methods for different phones sure sounds like feature disparity to me.

Your analogy is more akin to something like a glass back vs a hard plastic back on a phone, so maybe re-assess that.

Face unlock is pretty nice ... unless you are wearing a mask.

Very infuriating to type my long password then.

On the other side of the coin, fingerprint sensor is kind of neat (well I made a deep cut on my index yesterday so there are also situations where it fails haha). I wish there were both front and back sensors though. In the screen itself for the front one, otherwise the chin would get comically large.

Also when I am baking, I just want to use face unlock.

Ideally we would have both (or something better than both I guess)
An underlying tone of this article which most people in this thread have missed, was the impact of hitting the ground running. Godot quickly gets something on the screen for someone to build on. Qt is difficult to get something running. The impact of this makes technical benefits one way or the other moot. After all, if it works, who cares what technology is better?

I found the hassle of setting up Qt painful, but it didn't scare me away. The final nail the coffin was their prioritization of Qt Creator over SDK integration. juggling two IDEs just didn't seem right with an existing codebase.
Yes. And laziness works because Haskell is pure-by-default.

Yes. Though if we were starting from scratch today, perhaps we would see a total language, ie one where all functions terminate.

That would allow the compiler much more freedom in how to order evaluation.
This demonstrates why censorship via automation is so difficult. You basically need to understand a lot of the context around the use-case, in order to determine if the word should be allowed/disallowed.

Even if you succeed, people evade these systems by developing slang and substituting special characters...
