"...it’s important to recognize that the USA follows a ‘master nationality’ rule. What this means is, it recognizes only the US nationality of an individual, regardless of whether that individual holds any other citizenship."

So it's not that it doesn't allow it so much as it just pretends that your additional citizenship(s) don't exist. The USG will come after you for entering/leaving the US using a non-US passport though.
I just review almost everything I buy, why would you not. According to my Amazon profile I've only reviewed 220 things.
I do need that. I’ve had plenty of home grown produce that I doubt could be distinguished from store bought in a blind taste test.
It's easy to make the core device indistinguishable. It's the additional hardware that becomes a problem: QEMU/libvirt hardcodes its hard drive model to include the word "QEMU" (although there is an unmerged patch to make that configurable), and although I don't know how graphics work in a VM, it's far easier to create a higher-level graphics device than e.g. emulating Intel graphics.
How do you apply the “islands do better” logic to the UK or Hawaii? Hawaii might have done well by US standards, but it has performed badly compared to other islands.
The UK has not done well.
PS1 can support 256x256 truecolor (or 4bpp/8bpp paletted) textures, dithering and gouraud shading! It also has a very weird graphic pipeline that I don't think would be very friendly to a novice: the 3D projections are done on the CPU and the depth buffering is handled by... the DMA. The GPU is purely 2D, hence the lack of perspective correction in the texture mapping.

Your bias is showing. They never said that Vim/Emacs _doesn't_ have those. And modern IDEs generally make them much more discoverable and usable.

No-one is saying that "Vemacs" can't do everything that IDEs can do - they clearly can, with sufficient configuration, plugins, and so on. But the IDEs are generally "ready to go out-of-the-box"
You've got to implement smooth-movement. I used it for a few minutes and I'm nauseous.

Just lerp from one-square to another over 120ms and ... scratch that, if I had implemented as nice a product as yours, I would just implement click-to-move. So your character smoothly moves to where you clicked (with a touch of A* path-finding).

Only gamer's understand WASD, everyone understand's clicking.
Not just that, but the last 3 things I bought (workout stuff) last week from Amazon each had a little notecard inside with a bait for a review and a hinted at alternative dispute resolution system; and none of the items was particularly expensive which suggests the customer acquisition cost of having a high ranking Amazon item must be so low it makes sense to defend it aggressively with gift cards and such.
My counterarguments, in good faith:

Clearly, any society collectively benefits from honesty, whereas an honest act is, at least in a strict game-theoretic view, a loss to the individual in the short term.

The question "Are you honest?" does not necessarily filter out dishonest people. (Incidentally, I always felt like I would not have been admitted to Caltech as a student.)
so many brands on amazon are just junk. the whole concept of branding is worthless because the same stuff is being sold by "different" brands. i rather stick to known names
As an ethical vegan (reduce animal suffering but previously enjoyed eating meat) I don't care if it shares the same grill or goes into the same fryer. But I'm also unlikely to go somewhere where that'd happen - it's more likely if I'm pressed for options i.e. somewhere out of the city.

I'd give the McDonalds burger a go though - it's always interesting to see how far food tech can be pushed and how different it is from the real-deal. The key in my mind is synthetic collagen to give fake meat the bounce/snap/chew of real meat (FWIW I don't eat fake meat often, just interested in food tech in general).
> Someone running at you with a knife? Where the hell does public opinion come into it?

Look, you decided to build your entire argument on this extreme form of innocent-until-proven-guilty-nonsense. So I took an extreme example to demonstrate to you that your position was too strong. Let me try to explain in more detail: if you must assume that "everyone is innocent" until they are proven guilty in a court of law, then clearly you would assume that the man charging at you with a knife has no intention of committing a crime, right? Since you assume that they are entirely innocent, then there is no risk of being murdered, so you would not try to run away, right? Can you see how that doesn't make sense? Clearly you would try to run away from someone running at you with a knife, and that's because you have no obligation (legal or otherwise) to assume that everyone is innocent. It's okay to assign probabilities to different events, including crimes that people may or may not commit.

If you didn't take the extreme position to begin with, we wouldn't have to go over extreme examples to demonstrate why your extreme position was wrong. Anyway, I'm going to assume that we both now agree that there is no obligation to assume people are innocent until proven guilty. If you still disagree, please explain how this obligation should work out in the context of the knifeman attack.

> ...the same way a literal alarm clock splayed out in a box became a national scandal...

...but this was not an alarm clock. This was ammonium nitrate (among other stuff). Ammonium nitrate is used for fertilizer and explosives. Was he a farmer? No. So either he was intending to use it for explosives, or he was running some chemistry experiments or something. Can you see how this is different from the possession of an alarm clock?

For what it's worth, I think the most likely explanation for the stuff found is that he was geeking out some harmless experiments. I think the second most likely explanation is that he was going to build bombs and blow stuff up in the forest for fun. I don't think it's likely that he intended to hurt people in bombs, because it's extremely rare for people outside warzones to hurt other people with bombs. But it's definitely within the realm of possibility, and it shouldn't be dismissed out of hand.

> Someone asking for money for thousands of hours of free work that they've done after their apartment burns down and they're left homeless?

I'm not calling for any fundraisers to be shut down, and I'm not admonishing people for donating money. Even if he intended to hurt people with bombs (which he probably didn't), I think the world is going to be a better place if people donate money and help him get on his feet. Let's hope that the investigation can clear him innocent of any suspicions, and that this doesn't loom over his job search in the future.

MVP is a term that is tossed around a lot but few people actually use as the author intended.

If you seek the literature where the term "MVP" comes from, you'll see 1) MVP is not the same as prototype (you can validate an idea on the market without even a prototype), and 2) there's no definition of "too long", it's situational.

> As I talked about in a previous interview, IMVU’s original MVP took us six months to bring to market. That was a pretty big improvement over a previous company, where we spent almost five years before launching. Yet in another situation we spent two weeks building a particular feature that absolutely nobody wanted. In retrospect, two weeks was way too long. We could have found out that nobody wanted the product a lot sooner. At a minimum, a simple AdWords smoke test would have revealed how utterly bad the concept was. [1]

I responded lower, but dude! 2000 requests a second is hardly anything at all, unless the application server is doing some seriously heavy lifting in which case the architecture is wrong.

You should redo the calculations with 1gb of memory for Lambda and like 30 machines would be generous

Concurrency is key. Requests don't cost much when they're just waiting for other things, but Lambda continues to pile costs on for every increase in concurrency.

APIs should maybe use a tiny fraction actual real CPU time. Perhaps BBCs are different - In order to make an actual fair comparison and properly predict what they would need in servers, greater detail is needed than what you have available to you, but I think your estimations are off by a significant amount.
Nice work - is this an academic project or a Startup?
And the fact that that information needs to be repeated so often clearly highlights that it's not intuitive from vim itself.
I bought a second hand Pixel 2XL and was initially thrilled until I tried plugging it in and realised it was immediately turning itself off - hard and fast. A quick search came across multiple large threads which never had a single reliable "it's because of X" reason - all sort of cargo cult solutions posted but really the device charging port seems to be somewhat fried but no official acknowledgement that's the case from Google.

In the end I ended up returning the CEX (2nd hand store) phone to Google who then sent a new device to me. Though I was glad to get it sorted in that way (and do love the device itself - when it works, it works great) it really put me off ever wanting to buy new their hardware fresh. Just seems to have way too many problems.

Exactly. At least my experience there is code where you really care about performance and you are willing to do the distance. And then there is a lot of code where you just want it to work with no surprises.
There is a separate review/feedback system (that's admittedly much less visible) for this though. I don't care about your delivery experience when I'm looking at a product (sorry) because we might be buying from different sellers, and almost certainly have somebody different delivering it, but are in theory receiving the same product.

OnePlus has great software, great hardware and maintain software updates for a decent amount of time. It's what I'd recommend for people who want a phone that just works.

That said, I have a Xiaomi 9T Pro myself because I wanted a phone without a notch/holepunch, a flat display and a 3.5mm jack.

Most if not all AWS services are really just HTTP APIs. A Lambda invocation is really just a POST to a public AWS endpoint. You can absolutely come up with login flows that obtain a set of temporary STS credentials that are only allowed to invoke your "API" function. (Agreed this is not most workloads)
Then you didn’t look. There’s some rule from the ‘1940s which says only a SEC-licensed broker can manage securities for a US tax payer. It was mostly ignored outside the US until 2010 but since then, together with FATCA, is very much enforced.

Most of my US expat friends are lucky in that their local banks will let them have a checking account and sometimes even a savings account, but no other services are available to them. (And no local brokers would touch them with a 10-feet pole).
I tend to avoid politics but I really can't believe such a question was asked to voters.

With how vague that question is, its almost entirely useless. Like another poster said, it essentially could be boiled down to "do you want good thing or not?"

I feel like something that vague has no business being "voted" on.
This seems like an incredibly well run project. They have a consistent vision, and seem to work tirelessly to bring it to fruition. I love how precisely they’ve defined their goals.
From a scientific point of view, there is exactly one objective observation that needs explanation, which is that from time to time humans like to claim they're something called "conscious". This is not nothing! It is quite a peculiar phenomenon. But it needn't imply any great philosophical dilemma.

(We do have meaningful language for subjective experiences - we call eggplant "purple" and sugar "sweet" and music "groovy" - these correspond not to any physical property, but how they influence our minds.)
How often is that true though?
I've been having significant trouble sleeping the past few months. Even on calm-minded days, the second my head hits the pillow the stresses come back, I get worked up, and can't sleep. Rewatching his videos is one of the few things that has helped to quiet things down.

Much like C, Golang had its time and place. Luckily there are better tools for the job now, so we can use better tooling, AND not have to introduce activists into our company. A win win.
True, I've had some pesto like substance on vegan pizzas served by very vegan friends, so I guess they have a good substitute for it.
I'm pretty sure that you or I can identify some products on Amazon that very likely have paid reviews in under 5 minutes. If we had access to sales data, we could be essentially certain of it.

Type "Bluetooth" into the search bar. Find the product linked below. Does it seem likely that 45,403 people have given a review for a random Bluetooth FM transmitter?

https://www.amazon.com/Nulaxy-Wireless-Bluetooth-Transmitter... (not an affiliate link)

Type in "phone mount". Do people really feel so strongly about their $12 phone mount that 55K+ of them would write a review of that particular phone mount? What's the matter with those apparently higher-quality phone mounts that have only 500 or so reviews? Do the cheaper rando-brand-name pad-printed ones really out-sell and get out-reviewed by a factor of over 100x?

Do 14K people in just over 4 months feel strongly enough about a pack of straws to write a review? https://www.amazon.com/StrawExpert-Reusable-Silicone-Cleanin... (also not affiliate) "Wow, they totally made my drink colder!" "These are amazing, not boring regular straws; I'll be buying more to give as gifts!" "I will DEFINITELY be buying more of these, not only for our house but as gifts because these are great!" "with plastic straws costing so much, I thought I'd give these a try. I bought this set specifically because I needed shorter and longer straws." That's a reviewer who really knows what they need in the straw department and has made a major dent in their budget by buying these! "the pouch is a lifesaver since this purchase came with many straws" I should go look for reviews on hip waders...

It strains credibility to think the company that can deliver speech-recognition can't spot incentivized reviews. If this is a cat and mouse game, the mice are dominating.
I agree that a voxel engine is probably more productive for such a "toy" console approach. You can basically use the same techniques as the one you'd use on the PICO-8, just with an added dimension.

Polygonal 3D is a huge step compared to 2D engines. You can't just create assets with a simple bitmap editor, you need to learn 3D modeling and it's a huge can of worm. And then you need to learn to animate your models...

With voxels you can just sculpt your models minecraft-style, it's a lot more intuitive I think. And animations could be done like for sprites: you just key your animations with different 3D voxel models.
Most consumer systems don't have enough PCIe lanes to make that possible, unless you are okay with having at most 8 lanes for a GPU.

The easiest one to check (from the browser) is the WebGL Renderer. I'm currently on a Mac running Windows 10 in a Parallels VM, and checking here[1] shows

ANGLE (Parallels Display Adapter (WDDM) Direct3D11 vs_5_0 ps_5_0)

The "Parallels Display Adapter (WDDM)" seems to be coming from my Display Adapter name, which I could change. But I'm not sure if any other part of that string leaks my computer's status as a VM.

My non-standard screen resolution is another dead giveaway. There may be others as well, but those two seem to be the lowest hanging fruit. And many of these proctoring suites run as browser extensions, and I'm not sure what additional information extensions have access to.

But yea, they're not too hard to trick. You could get fancy, around listening for mouse clicks and keyboard taps, without detecting any corresponding actions within the VM. But that sounds like far too much effort for a higher education software vendor.

A lot of European states have a wealth tax as well as estate tax, which is not a good thing for an old dude worth $17B. Heck, it's not even a good deal for someone like me, if you run the numbers.

It has to do with needing, not wanting, access to a sufficiently large market to have even a remote chance of success.

Can you imagine anyone who wanted to make an app now, without publishing on either the Google Play Store or the App Store "in protest"? That's the option you're giving them. "Ask for more gruel or fail" and you're calling that a choice. Lets be honest here, indeed.

You know perfectly well what I meant and refused to touch the point.
Hmm, fair. I was meaning more that used to games and engines were made by the same crowd as players.

As such, I meant the winners to be the few engines that have remained. Feels like a smaller field, but with only bigger players.
This is how I evaluate restaurants on Yelp. I go to the 1 and 2 star reviews. If they are things like the weather was bad, the prices are too high or the waiter was rude to me, I assume the place is pretty good. People without much taste love places with cheap food and extremely polite and fast service. I like good food.

Because reviews are sometimes fake, and often from people who don't know much or have a lot to compare to, the most useful thing is to filter for when people complain about what you don't care about.
Yes, until I started having widespread tendon issues due to flouroquinolone antibiotics. Sports are out of the picture for me most likely forever. Plus it is not like playing sports hard is healthy either. I tore abdomen muscles, have torn labrum in my hip from soccer, etc.

Parmesan is easy to substitute for nutritional yeast. It’s the mozzarella substitutes that are trickier to make realistic/tasty.
I was also dubious of the claim that "processed" foods are less healthy, but there does seem to be some evidence to support the claim at least along one vector:

> Processing may affect the natural resistant starch content of foods. [...] Whole grain wheat may contain as high as 14% resistant starch, while milled wheat flour may contain only 2%.

> The fermentation of resistant starch produces more butyrate than other types of dietary fibers.

Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resistant_starch#Processing_ef...

> Butyrates are important as food for cells lining the mammalian colon (colonocytes). [...] Butyrate is extremely essential to host immune homeostasis.

Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Butyrate

Basically, resistant starch is extremely important to the health of your colon, and fairly important to your health in general. From what I hear, colon cancer is not terribly fun. Since processing greatly reduces the resistant starch content of certain goods it seems reasonable to claim that "processing" makes some foods less healthy.

Though like all things there is a lot of subtly here; I wouldn't be surprised if plant based burgers end up healthier on the whole despite the processing when compared to regular meat. But they are unlikely to be healthier than the equivalent in unprocessed veggies.
At some point it becomes operationally risky for a company to freeload when they get to a certain size so you see things like enterprise support or hiring dedicated engineers to support the software.

I think you will find examples of this at lots of large tech companies (Google, Facebook, Amazon). Linux kernel is a good example here and key features like cgroups were started at Google
Senators letter to Google CEO Sundar Pichai on vote manipulation [pdf]
I hadn't anticipated this somewhat odd conflation of the issue of swing states with the electoral college. That seems to be primarily a criticism from people who haven't been through many elections - California was a reliable Republican state until 1992, Texas has been reliably Republican for decades but now is a swing state etc.

Most political criticism of the electoral college comes from the idea it is non-representation: A vote in Wyoming is worth between 2.9 and 3.6 times a vote in California[1] depending on if you measure turnout of population.

A non-electoral college system will change that, but instead of it being Republican votes in Democratic strongholds that don't count (and vice-versa) it will be all the votes outside of CA, NY, IL, TX and FL. Parties will create policies that favor large, dense populate centers, and the rest of the country will be ignored.

It doesn't take much time, no more than a minute or two, I don't buy much. No its true I get no value from it, but there's many things humans do they get no direct value from. I read Amazon reviews, I get value from them some of the time, I do use them to inform my purchasing decisions - I'm paying it forward.
You would have to find substantial cuts.

I don't think its a strawman because unfortunately its the majority of arguments I see... but people will bring up the APCs or "military equipment" some departments have as an example of things that can be cut... while perhaps true a one off APC or extra equipment isn't going to be anywhere close to how much it would cost for many city projects.
