I think the Microsoft store is pretty good actually. I got 6 months of game pass for PC and didn't encounter any problems.
Not everyone here works for FAANG companies in silicon valley. Retiring by 45 is possible in much of the rest of the country but one has to go hard to do it.

For myself, I simply wanted to be free from financial worries and financially independent. I hit that at 35, and yes, I'll probably be able to retire by 45, but I'm a bit too frugal for my own good. For someone living a more 'balanced' lifestyle I think 50 or 55 is a fine goal.
You seem unaware of the difference between unicast IP and broadcast radio. Watching youtube is just as anonymous as a phone call, not very hard to map to a person. Youtube has a log of every IP accessing their servers and what they do, augmented by cookies and google accounts. A radio station does not know who is listening.
Yeah I like the idea of it too. I wouldn't want to have to use a particular IDE just to benefit from its debugger.
That was more then 18 years ago though, back when Microsoft was very new to the console game. They've had a lot of successes and failures since then. A more recent example would be Mojang which has gone extremely well for them - Minecraft is now the best selling game of all time with 147m copies by 2019 compared to around 14m back in 2014 when the company was acquired - largely down to their successful pivot to mobile and console.
The author says: "these things could mean that microbial life gets underway pretty readily" -- Or given that both Venus and Mars are close neighbours it could just mean that interplanetary debris from Earth seeded these places. I recall reading that this kind of debris is actually quite common.

I suspect we won't know until we can get samples back to earth to look at.
That's hard to answer because how much money do you have? Will you be getting the same amount of money? How would you live if that money wasn't available?

But the more important thing is, do you want to have fun now? Do you want to go out, party, vacation, hit up the clubs? Or do you want to stay home, save money. Maybe buy computer gear and AR or whatever the new fads are as they come? Maybe you want to save and go on vacation 3-4 times a year. Or maybe you want to save completely, get to a $1/$2/$10/$30M and then retire and do what you want to do. So when you answer that more clearly it helps to kinda figure out what you want to do.

Now if you want to have fun and enjoy your school career, I wouldn't put any money in the market, I would just go spend it. The reason being is your career should pay well. Now are you good at it?

Are you going to go for a FAANG job or a regular job? Do you want to work for someone or start your own business? Maybe instead of investing in the market, invest in a tool, like something that is going to change how everything works, for example, you think AR is the future and VR is crap, so the first AR device can be purchased, or you want to get the first Neurolink and solve dementia or whatever.

Suppose you have decided you are going to work for someone, then you want to put the money in the market somewhere and don't want to learn any new tech because you are focusing on school. YOu have to decide, do I want to swing for the fences or use a lazy portfolio. So if it's the former you can buy stocks that are the next AAPL like TLSA, or the stock you think is the next TSLA. You can split it up in a few stocks if you think you can pick better than the average market. Alternatively, you can go with the lazy portfolio and just throw it into Index funds knowing in 20 years you will be golden, and since you are going to get a decent job you will be able to contribute each month and grow it and life a safe life. To do this, look up bogleheads lazy portfolio or canadian couch portfolio in Canada.

Now if you really want to live life, and say you wanted to spend $1000 on a party, you go and risk that and put it on options. Turn that into $10K and go and buy a $10,000 on a bigger party instead. But you could end up finishing school with no money. Seriously, don't try this, I am sure most of #wallstreetbets does that.

However, it all depends on the life you want to live.

Note: Posted this comment a few months ago on Reddit and it applies to you as well.
It reduces anaphora ambiguity. Compared with gendered pronouns in English (some languages have gender neutral pronouns).

There's no way they could trash any franchise worse than Bethesda has trashed Fallout.
Every device I am currently using is USB-C. It's great. Every charger can charge every device. My displays work with everything, the daily driver Dell, the Macbook for xcode, and even my phone (a Samsung Galaxy S10). The phone is kind of the surprise. Samsung has a feature called Dex that lets you hook up a keyboard, mouse and display and use the phone as a desktop. It's actually pretty useful.
Re: the sysadmin work, app developers have to worry a whole lot less about it, oftentimes not at all. In startups, that's a huge plus. I still remember servers going down because some workloads were destroying the RAID arrays s.t. that they were drawing down too much power and overloading the PDUs in their racks. I ended up having to hardwire the distribution of jobs to other servers while we (actually it was me, I was at a startup) got the PDUs upgraded by talking to a sysadmin on the phone. (Amusingly at some point we had to fix some DNS while restarting one of the boxes so I had to tell the guy what to do by dictating vi commands.)

But yeah it's like over time we ended up scaling the crappiness of software along with the software itself. At the same time, I'm inclined to believe that software development at large is in a much better position to solve a whole bunch of other problems than ever before. That keeps me motivated personally, though I get the frustrations for sure.
Reading all these comments I am genuinely confused as to if we are talking about different “teams” I’m using the Microsoft Teams app on iPhone and not only do I have much more granuarity in statuses with Busy/do not disturb/away/be right back/etc. But also just under that option in the app I have notifications settings which are both easy to turn off completely but also has options for quite hours and quite days.
Have the rape accusations been dropped? Or just the investigation into the allegations?
Not in particular. Earplugs are well regulated by the dB reduction they offer, the only other thing that matters is going to be fit, which is extremely personal. I’d recommend going with cheap disposable ones, since they tend to get pretty gross easily.

Dr. Colin Percival studied mathematics at Simon Fraser University, entering at age 13, before going on to a doctorate in Computing at Oxford University, where his thesis covered problems in string matching, data compression, and file synchronization.

In January 2004, Colin became a FreeBSD committer and a member of the FreeBSD Security Team; he became the Security Officer for FreeBSD in August 2005, a position which he held until May 2012. Aside from his work as FreeBSD Security Officer, he is probably best known in the FreeBSD community for his work on FreeBSD Update and Portsnap.

In addition to direct experience handling security issues via his experience as FreeBSD Security Officer, Dr. Percival has published several research papers in areas ranging from numerical analysis to cryptography, including the first published cryptographic attack against shared caches in Intel's "HyperThreaded" processors.
How does one find dupes? I searched by URL before posting but nothing came up.
>> When Filatov was at work, the operative workers infiltrated his apartment and installed technical surveillance resources for video surveillance and photography.

1977. Video equipment was VERY different then, especially on that side of the iron curtain. It would have had moving parts, motors, probably requiring a degree of soundproofing. I want to see pictures of where/how they hid this stuff because it wasn't easy.
In just a generation we will have our own version of zaibutsu and chaebols, isn't that exciting !
Because the 30% 'Standard' commission is fundamentally uneconomic. Independent publishers cannot thrive, when they could simply be acquired by a platform owner (ie. Microsoft) and pay 0%.
It's a solvable problem. The article mentions distilleries in California that have done so (likely because they're required to by the government there).

It's not that hard to make the warehouses relatively airtight and add a ventilation system that sends all the exhaust through a scrubber to remove the ethanol before exhausting to atmosphere. It's just that the local government there isn't requiring it and is instead allowing these negative externalities to be born by the residents, because the whiskey companies have more political power than these relatively poor residents.
Annapurna Interactive has had their name on so many creative, well-done projects recently. I had no idea they received funding from Oracle, but quite frankly that just makes me think (somewhat) better of Oracle, not less of Annapurna.
Yes, it is a thunderbolt travel dock by Other World Computing (OWC).
Now it just gets serialized as a bunch of XML files.

However COM is pretty much alive and is the foundation of UWP.

The trap is that the youthful vigor leaves but you still need the money. I find myself growing tired of the constant churn and needing to learn new stuff to keep up with what's going on, and then pretending I know enough of what I barely learned to be able to talk to a room full of clients about it, but I need the money (I am nowhere near the valley so I make a mnerely average amount of money for where I am in life) so what can one do? Just keep plugging away because I can't not have the money.
Re initiative. I've had jobs which did not want initiative on a macro level - my manager would tell me what was wanted, I'd go away and make it happen. Those managers loved me. My current role, bullshitted into a "devops" role, I'm expected to spend my days showing initiative - building things that I think will be useful - and which never get used. I'll take the former jobs. What I have now sounds like freedom, it feels pointless and torturously demotivating. Do my managers know what they're doing? Do they have any roadmap? Can they see shortcomings in our systems? Is it mushroom management or cluelessness? I think these positive sounding words eg "initiative" are not positive - they are context dependent. "Potential" - if you need someone writing endless crud, if they have potential are they going to stick around? Do you really want/need Achilles? Are you really leading the Trojan army? Maybe you just need sticky tape, not a welding torch.
While statements like these are common when mergers/buyouts happen, the final decision down the line will not be his to make. Not saying that things will not happen as he states, but it shouldn't be seen as a certainty.
The long golden age of our glorified junk
It's not looking good for another TES or FO game unless they're already very well under development.

EA has taught the industry that mega corps are where IP goes to die a long, slow, cash-cow squeezing death. I'm actually more disappointed in ZeniMax/Bethesda. In my mind, there is absolutely no possibility that Bethesda will ever produce another game on the level of FO3/NV now because corps do what corps do which is A/B test and second guess every decision until the product is a flavorless lump.
And yet we are now looking at the obesity epidemic from the production side, rather than blaming people. The food itself hijacks important systems that are parts of our hardware. As the movie demonstrates, social media all too often does the same thing: hijacks the hardware. And as humans, we have a lot of important social instincts that are built in. Companies should not be permitted to take advantage of it: Artificial intelligences that plan feeds to addict us should be illegal, in my not so humble opinion.
Bethesda also includes id and Arkane. Arkane's games in particular are incredibly unique and well designed. There's still a lot of innovation happening under the Bethesda umbrella, even if Fallout and Elder Scrolls are stale.
Why settle for merely well qualified when you can have the absolutely best?
I think that's a good way to think about it. Everyone's individual perspectives are valid, and they're a mix of real things that have happened in the industry and their own experiences.

I'm very much aware of how bad some parts of the industry can be (particularly having recently dipped my toe into some machine learning work and discovered an entire sub-field in which nobody has ever heard of documentation, testing, coding standards, or things like releasing software that actually works).
In my country I get to retirement when the government says I can go - more or less. Otherwise the pension is really small.

To explain: a large chunk of our salary goes to the state's pension fund - not my fund. When I reach the official retirement age the government will allow me a pension that is scaled based on my payments while employed.

At this time I'm looking at 3 decades on front of keyboard (am 40 and the official pension age for me will be around 70).
Perhaps instead pose a problem where a queue and a stack would normally be used and have them solve it and explain their solution. You can tell a lot more about someone than asking a context free question on theoretical constructs. Is it more important to have someone who approaches a problem theoretically or practically?
Taken in isolation, the statement isn't catastrophically bad. But it does tell me some things about the speaker's character including:

- Has limited understanding of technology

- Is prone to overstatement, if not outright lying

- Is willing to use technobabble to describe his product

Those conclusions, if coming from a normal layman, might just make me roll my eyes, but coming from the CEO of supposedly technology centric company that hasn't yet released a product, it raises massive alarm bells and has me running to sell shares or short the company.
tiktok didn't work out and they had to do something with that money...
Nowhere to be seen? Wasn’t it their investigation being opened that forced him out?
I really enjoyed it, highly recommend.
Sure. No restrictions and I don’t see why there should be — why would some random company in the US be assumed to be any more trustworthy than a company not in the US?

There should be greater restrictions on info release and racking by US companies, but those restrictions should protect against all antagonists (corps, governments) both foreign and domestic. However there seems to be little impetus for protection at the moment outside some minor efforts in california.
The Outer Worlds was by Obsidian (founded by former Black Isle developers), and was unrelated to Bethesda’s games.

Now of course with this announcement Obsidian and Bethesda are sister studios.
The teams were downsized, but I'm not sure what happened to the people because it was bundled with the products and operations team. This is what I meant. Not a hill worth dying for though. It will be most clear if someone knows what the Taiwan office were doing because they were hit the hardest as far as I get.

Regarding the rust toolchain, all the FAANG are using rust one way or another. The project is healthy and Mozilla is not key there already. I'd even say that it would've been ugly if a non-profit corporation had to pay for the development of tools that trillion dollar companies are using.
Microsoft now owns id. They bought all of Zenimax, not just Bethesda.
Haha, I can't count how often a company, when asked about its privacy, says that it's protected using "military-grade encryption."
Local influence is not nearly as pernicious or destructive as social media. Yes, every person in the world influences others, and there is no escaping this.

But to compare it to what has been proven to be possible via social media is absurd.
Why do you think it's due to a breach? There are thousands of companies who sell and re-sell that kind of information.
This reminds me of a story of a litte boy that just said: "I like seeing personalized ads."... while dragging everyone with him.

It is incredible that this industry is allowed to operate like it does. If it vanished over night nothing would happen. The EU just had its strategy changed and pronounced that it is everyone's civic duty to share even more.

Doubtful it would be able to handle advertisers. Although I don't think many countries would be.

I did two play throughs and was very entertained both. The stories and humor is excellent and I like the combat system. You can definitely chose play style, whether you're the creepy sniper, rambo or hammer-in-the-head. It's just a solid fun game.
I am assuming that these 100 million in revenue bought in wasn't overnight... and I can guarantee that these reps were paid on a continuity basis.
Cryptozoology aside, we don't know that phosphine would have come from life.

The US market is eventually correct (which is exactly what you're seeing with Nikola getting properly dismantled), not efficient on every trade or even short-term. I think your premise fundamentally misunderstands how very large, liquid markets with huge numbers of participants like the US stock market actually function.

To paraphrase a famous quote from Ben Graham: short-term the market is a voting machine (prone to trends, mania, over-reactions both directions), long-term it's a weighing machine (value will out). That's still spot on all these decades later.

There is about $36 trillion in value in the public US markets. Can you support your premise that Nikola is somehow relevant as a point of evidence that the broad financial markets do a poor job of allocating capital? Nikola is barely a rounding error in the scheme of the US financial markets.
Okay, good for you, as I said in my original post the job market for software is not generally that good, and the vast majority of people work low paying jobs.
This is one of the few Netflix documentaries that I regret wasting my time on. Not only there's no new information in it, but it seems to be deliberately done in a way to promote outrage and get attention from the political apparatus to regulate social media to death.
Ok, but did Kandel proved Freud right? Did he found proof for ego, id, super-ego, Thanatos/Eros in brain morphology? Me skimming it shows little to no evidence of so, hence his contributing to prove Freud right is no more different than what Feynman did.

I did found this gem though:

> Thus, unlike various forms
of cognitive therapy and other psychotherapies, for which compelling objective evidence now exists—both as therapies in their own right and as key adjuncts to pharmacotherapy—there is as yet no compelling evidence, outside subjective impressions, that psychoanalysis works better than nonanalytically oriented therapy or placebo.

So wait. Even he admits Psychoanalysis is less useful than what we have currently. Way to bury the lede.

From what I see, this is more a rally to revive psychoanalysis on solid biological grounds, than confirmation of psycho analysis as such.
They will likely be exclusive to Microsoft’s so-called Microsoft Store. Microsoft (and the other game vendors) really needs to stop pretending to have an App Store. Valve owns this space on the PC and it belongs to them. Microsoft does not get to have one.
I recently had daily-board .com registered for a hobby project. I thought it was a fun way to represent Daily "Dash"board, but everyone I told it to was confused.

Oh well, it was fun for a year.
So yes, it does add suspicion in context - but of all the 'suspicious things' - it's the least suspicious.

Most car execs would struggle with this were they to have to read an unprepared statement.

Outer Worlds and Fallout come from two different developers.
Maybe I was unclear, but I was wishing for a situation where the Name Constraint extension was wildly enough used that LE would issue scoped sub-CA certs for *.whatever.yourdomain.com, which I hold the private keys to.

But yes, I agree with your larger point. However, "nice" naming scheme might conflict with "secure" naming scheme. E.g, perhaps admin-{not-yet-released-product-line}.acme.com is the most resonable domain name, but it would be unsuitable if it was publicly announced via CT logs.

Any way, having the domains in the CT logs, and naming them considering that is probably a tradeoff worth making.
>How long are we going to hold onto this silly 10,000 hours thing?

Easy - until some other metric comes along to reliably replace it

It's a useful rule-of-thumb

It's not an absolute, and, had you bothered to read Outliers, you'd know that

But it's more fun to sit back and armchair quarterback others via anecdote, right?
Xbox, probably, but PC should still be good.. Microsoft has abandoned making all their titles exclusive to their little box in the living room in recent years.

I enjoyed the character writing a lot and the overall story arc was interesting. The quests could be challenging without being too grindy or obscure, but the moment-to-moment gameplay was... just ok? It felt even clunkier than Fallout 4 in terms of how an FPS plays..

The maps and environments looked good but were pretty generic in terms of layout and variety.

I don't regret buying it (on sale), but I haven't picked up the DLC, and probably won't.. I had my fill with the base game.
I did some searching. Most stats suggest that by 1985, more than 10% of American households, and a slight majority of small businesses, had a personal computer.

By 2001, it's 60% and nearly 100%. I agree with the others. You're about two decades too late in your estimate.
It’s Not Hypocrisy
Also, how do we know that the quote is even accurate? If the CEO misstates some technical jargon, what’s the likelihood that the reporter from an unrelated field is going to get the misstatement correct?
No switches should be getting polled over a CAN bus. If there's enough of a processor to be a CAN node, there's enough processor to debounce a button and transmit state change events.
