> it's the typical open-world-game level of buggy

There is controversy around this idea. The game is certainly buggy and many similar open world games have also been buggy on release. However, a lot of the problems in Cyberpunk 2077 don't appear to be bugs. They appear to be active design decisions that were made as a shortcut on promised features. Here is a Twitter thread with some examples of design decisions that might appear as bugs to an untrained eye.[1]

It seems like CDPR knew they had an unfinished game and couldn't deliver it close to its release date. Management decided to do whatever had to be done to release a game in time for Christmas. This "open world games are always buggy on release" narrative plus some shady behavior surrounding how they handled reviews[2] allowed them to get largely great reviews and a huge influx of cash. Hopefully that provides enough capital to justify a long term commitment to finishing this game because it is doesn't appear to be a few bug fixes or performance improvements away from being the game that was promised.

The article has pretty poor reporting. I checked the first couple of examples they gave:

https://abcnews.go.com/US/american-airlines-jet-suffers-fume...

https://www.usatoday.com/story/travel/flights/2019/02/26/ala...

In both cases only the pilots/crew had issues, none of the passengers. In one case it was a "dirty sock" smell. If it was a bleed air problem, it would have affected passengers as well.

A lot of research has been done, and there isn't actually any evidence showing that bleed air causes any health problems:

Obviously there are some cases where the seals do break, and there is actual smoke in the cabin, but that is not what the majority of these cases are referring to.
With how widespread this event has been, I would wager that those scam emails saying they have "recorded you relieving yourself, and you must send X bitcoin or we'll expose you" must be true for at least one person at these agencies / companies.
> A charitable view would be that Amazon is trying to create a system that rewards fair sellers and provides unbiased reviews to consumers, while unscrupulous actors attempt to defeat that by engaging in new forms of grift.

I would agree with that until something like this happens, where Amazon prevents people from letting other people know that the reviews are paid.

> If the unscrupulous actors are 10% less effective because of Amazon's efforts, does that mean the "purpose" of the system has shifted 10% away from honest dealing? If Amazon all but eliminates dishonesty, does that mean the "purpose" of the system is to have an ever present, tiny baseline of fraud? At that point, better to use a different word.

I'll think on your point. I'm not sure how to quantify purposefulness.

> It's because of strategic equivocation between the "actor" being implied in the "purpose." The implication is that Amazon creates the system and this is their purpose, but the cybernetician's definition of purpose is more like "the role this system plays in the overall society in light of all the infinite restrictions on everyone's behavior."

Point taken.

> If you have two actors within a system that are at odds, using the term "purpose" to refer to the system is either mostly incoherent, or (in most cases) trying to import the connotation of "purpose" into a conversation.

I think that one can still imagine that the point of a competitive endeavor is separate from the purpose of the competitors involved in the system.

Thanks for the reply, I'll consider your ideas.

The problem is that a lot of people don't bother sending back stuff because it's too much of a hazzle, and it's unlikely that any of the other products on Amazon are any better. You already know that you aren't really going to get some high quality product for 19.99€. You still check the reviews to try to get the best quality product, but in reality you already know the product is going to be crap.

It is a common misconception, but in this case "the most simple answer" is not correct for your analogue. Take a look at the CIA FOIA reading room and search "Project CENTER LANE".

- from https://www.cia.gov/library/readingroom/docs/CIA-RDP96-00788...

50% is very high because they are generating things like plans, locations, facility layouts, not yes-no answers.

If the top end is already a binary choice. Why not have the low end also be. We have heard how companies like Uber penalise anything but 5-star review.

It's an illustration that familiarity with a subject is not a prerequisite for arrogant pontification.
At least as early as 1977 the Commodore PET and the Apple ][ had "slashed zeros"; followed by the Atari 400/800 in 1979, the BBC Micro in 1981 and the Sinclair ZX Spectrum and Commodore 64 in 1982:

You get there, only to find out that there's no there there.

Don't worry, there are more things to do than there are years in your life. Try something else. Go visit some tall mountains, learn to drive/pilot something new, make an art, volunteer somewhere new, or just live differently than you have in the past.

It might not be fulfilling, but at least it'll be less boring. There's nothing worse than getting stuck in a rut, and telling yourself that you're only trying something for a few months is a good way to find interests that you never knew you had.

I think it's arrogance that underlies the belief when weird stuff is in the sky, that it couldn't be extra-terrestrials. The arrogance of thinking, sure, we (or another "nation") could have built this, and the arrogance of thinking that in the enormous universe, there's no other life that could have figured out more than we could have.

In this case, it's another type of arrogance, that these patents couldn't work because it seems to violate "what we know", which is arrogance that "what we know" encompasses "everything that is."

Arrogance can be comfortable, but it's not scientific. It seems there's a reflex to insist that sky ships "can't be alien" and "weird propulsion" can't be possible. I think this reflex is crazy. Just keep an open mind, because "there's so much we don't know."
This reminds of the WebSQL spec being dropped because the only implementations used SQLite:

> The W3C Web Applications Working Group ceased working on the specification in November 2010, citing a lack of independent implementations (i.e. using database system other than SQLite as the backend) as the reason the specification could not move forward to become a W3C Recommendation.

-- Wikipedia

> This document was on the W3C Recommendation track but specification work has stopped. The specification reached an impasse: all interested implementors have used the same SQL backend (Sqlite), but we need multiple independent implementations to proceed along a standardisation path.

-- W3C

I wonder how much of their reasoning applies here.
For reference, the categories available are gas, online shopping, dining, travel, drug stores, and home improvement and furnishing.

You can change you category once per calendar month. E.g., mine is normally online shopping, but when I needed a leak repaired on my work, I waited until near the end month, flipped the category to home improvement, paid the roofing bill, and then on the first of the next month flipped it back to online hopping.

Without the tiered rewards, it is 3% cash back for the selected category, 2% grocery stores and wholesale clubs, 1% everything else.

The tiers are at $20k, $50k, and $100k in BofA or Merrill checking/savings/investment accounts (3 month average combined balance). First tier gets you 1.25x the base rewards. Second tier is 1.5x. Third tier is 1.75x.

Agreed. The court is supposed to impartially apply the law. Long-term imprisonment for contempt when a party is defiant makes the court seem capricious or vindictive. That undermines the court's appearance of impartiality and erodes public trust in the courts.

A more humane solution in this case might be to release him and surveil him for as long as it takes to recover the gold. Once the gold is recovered, bill him for the cost of his surveillance.

Well yes, it's the surface disturbance of the underwater wake that they are detecting. So the sub has to be moving under its own power.

But there is no need for high resolution and the wake of the sub stands out starkly even with a large field of view. So I'm not sure it can evade detection by halting propulsion and drifting. The point at which it halted would be known and it would be detected as soon as it restarted, unless it was carried by an unknown current far enough to be out of view of the satellite.

Sadly, you don't seem to realize that those wages come out of the pocket of the consumer. Lower the cost of labor and you lower the cost of the good that is provided. Why not lower those costs to the minimum? /s

Also, a wage laborer who opts out of the wage labor system will likely end up just as dead as a slave who tries to opt out of the slave system. The "voluntariness" of wage labor isn't quite the panacea is seems to be, when you realize many people are given the choice between one or more shitty jobs or no job at all.

DCF based valuations are only as good as your assumptions. If you drink the koolaid, as this analyst clearly has, your optimistic assumptions make your valuations meaningless. As support for this, I’ll point out that Warren Buffett refuses to look at a companies stock price before he’s finished his valuation analysis just to ensure that his love for a business doesn’t bias his valuation to ensure he can buy it.

Her “analysis” is just a smattering of positive events and suppositions, and she doesn’t address any he Elephant in the room.

Well, you could write a fresh SQLite DB on every Save command, and blow away the old one, thus losing all of SQLite's nice fsync handling.

Or if your data structures can be modeled as vectors or ordered maps, use SQLite directly as much as possible. It _is_ a database engine, so it's already got btrees for fast lookups.

Hell, one time I played back video from a SQLite file. Not HD, but it was a peculiar format where I couldn't use any normal codec, and 30 FPS VGA recorded and played just fine.
I imagine they're going to be losing a lot of goodwill with the investors as well, after saying that the game runs "surprisingly well" on the PS4 and Xbox One, and how that despite announcing that customers can choose to get a refund, they're not "encouraging gamers to get refunds". And now due to that announcement, Sony has pulled the game entirely from the store since CD Projekt just diverted their angry customers to Sony's customer service reps.

I vaguely remember a file archive format similar to JAR/WAR (for Java) or ASAN (for Electron) which was designed for bundling software with its dependencies and static resources. It is not a container because it's just files with no specification for its runtime. Unlike JAR, it is language agnostic. These bundles could be compiled and compressed on your local machine then scp'd to a server that knows how to execute this bundle. If I recall correctly, it was some open source project from a big company.

I've spent hours trying to find it again and am wondering if I might be remembering something from a dream.
