Thanks. I would like to point out again that the code is out of date, and the margins displayed there are miscalculated due to not accounting for commission. The general spirit remains.

Did you backtest and show potential returns? Can you link to your model? Did you come across "Scoring dynamics across professional team sports: tempo, balance and predictability" [1]? They apply a Poisson model to team sports. I mentioned this paper to a company involved in betting who I interviewed with once, and they told me that they were doing something similar, but way more involved. It demotivated me somewhat regarding implementing it, making me wonder whether there really was any juice left to be squeezed from it.

Ugh. I loved the premise of that show and the first two-ish seasons. There were a few more decent seasons in there, but I don't remember which ones. The final season was embarrassing, though.
Make a base set of rules that facilitates your goal(s) as a group. Enforce them early, enforce them often enough.

Look into how successful bulletin board systems have done things in the past. If I find anything that might be of use to you, I'll update this post or to it create a comment.
Anecdotal, but I’ve seen several folks get offers from FB and other big tech, and I’ve seen FB throw much more money at people. They also have better perks.

I think they know they need to use money to overcome their reputation.
Sometimes I thank yt as it's not like tiktok. Tiktok gets you hooked for hours and aditiction starts the next day.

Now a days notifications are irrelevant and comment you posted gets a notification and start searching what you actually posted. Those are hard to find.

YT is imperfect I am fine with that.

What I hate is though l, when a video gets deleted from your playlist, they should have courtesy to say the video title what got deleted. It just blindly says, video is deleted, it is restricted in your country amd I have no clue what video was that.
It seems it's actually a refresh of 8 seconds for the black layer and another 8 seconds for the red layer done separately.

Kindles refresh the black layer much faster. I don't see why it's soo much slower.

But since it's literally particles moving inside the display, it will never super fast but 8 seconds is very limiting.
There was nothing special about any of the Fitbit products including the Versa 2. They always had multiple competitors with equivalent or better features, not just Apple.
Because of covid, I have been cooking at home a lot. The Youtube Food channels have been amazing. Here are the ones I frequent:

* Ethan Chlebowski

* Joshua Weissman

* Adam Ragusea

* J. Kenji López-Alt

* Babish Culinary Universe (Binging with Babish). This is more of an entertainment channel than a how-to channel. But I like to see how he makes certain things.

* MATTY MATHESON

* Bon Appétit
Heh.

I used to work on those products, way back in 2008 or so. Let me save you some time: you won't get any action at good odds. Or, if you do, it'll be a tiny amount.

Betfair run their own bots on those markets AND they get their bets into the market BEFORE the market opens to the public. Good luck anyway!
Reminds me that back in high school my programming competition team won an image compression challenge by implementing RLE compression in a YUV-ish colorspace (the competition template provided colorspace transforms and we picked the one that worked best). Somehow that looked terrible but fooled the automated grading program. Another team had attempted JPEG, but they couldn't get their codec to work. They probably would have won otherwise.
AFAIK Phoenix doesn't tie in with npm packages whatsoever.

You have an `assets/` dir that contains your javascript stuff, and out of the box Webpack is set up there, but besides that it's all your choice, with the exception of the pre-shipped stuff for Channels and LiveView.
Doesn't this look very very similar to Notion? It doesn't seem to be from the same people though, feels like I'm missing something.
Apart from anything else, it's rammed with highly quotable and widely quoted dialogue. Anybody watching it for the first time will probably find themselves thinking "Ah - so that's where that comes from" at least a few times.
I'm no expert on encryption, but this article made it sound like several of the areas that made iOS less than secure weren't bugs, but specific design choices in terms of what they allow developers to do, which often make things more vulnerable.

I guess I was asking if, in a world where someone could (feasibly, if not easily) take one of the existing mobile Linux distros and modify it to make it more secure than Android or iOS, or if they're already sort of at the limit there and barring a fundamental advance in computer security across the board, this is just how things are?
Dropbox IMO is a terrible organization. Vastly overpriced and made it very difficult for us to cancel.
If that option was there in the very first place a significant portion of the marketing spend wouldn't have happened throughout the years.

Now that the market is well established cutting Facebook off is a good strategy for Apple as this will probably move a significant chunk of marketing budget their way.

Now Facebook's fate is collateral damage.

Yeah, I just wish he'd veer off more often to these incredible improv jazz lands (like the one I posted) in his live streams. They might not be as catchy as the short loops he's currently pushing out, but damn, aren't they just delightful!
And then Pokemon Sword/Shield came along and did the exact opposite, sadly.

Really funny how that works out.

It is specifically the data collection. Other companies are competing in the wearable industry, but no other company is collecting and aggregating data like Google is.

If you give Google your wearable data they will have an even more extraordinary advantage when it comes to targeted advertising.

This maneuver to acquire Fitbit should be blocked at all costs. Google should not be allowed to obtain this data.
> I’m not sure I’d actually call it the Best Film Ever

Most critics would, though. And I've never heard that its importance is in any way tied to its production. Welles took film from "filmed stage plays" and literally opened up the genre. He ripped up floorboards to get the right perspective. He innovated direction right and left.

The only aspect of the film being about Hearst was that its debut was canned, distribution was shot, and he would never (really) be allowed to make another film again.
Wow I was hoping to grab something from the shop but that's some ugly stuff. We have casual dress code at work so I would love a classy EFF-themed T-shirt. Most of these have that juvenile meme-y/merch-ey/joke style though so that's a pass.

Plain "EFF" like on the "EFF Label Pin" on a grey fabric would have been nice. Doesn't have to be "cool" (?) just because it's on a T-shirt.

Edit: Actually just give me the Onesie design on a T-shirt (not black) and I'm good
True. I have shamed myself.
It's virtually impossible to have a deep design-related discussion without it sounding to naive ears as pretentious. Design is the art of arranging things so as to evoke particular feelings in people. To discuss them is to discuss the feelings they're evoking vs the feelings that were intended to be evoked. And there's only so far you can get with the sorts of words ordinary people use to talk about their feelings. And nobody likes to hear that other people might feel and perceive deeper than them.

They can't legally make less than $3 an hour.
The issue is supporting companies in general instead of the actions they take. I think this is a great move by apple to educate people on the privacy they are sacrificing with apps. That doesn't mean I'm a fanboy. Being a fanboy seems like it's almost always a mistake as it will just lead to illogical support of decisions that harm you.
Even if you think the personal morality of Google employees is a formidable check on its practices it's definitely not sufficient. I'd rather have more formal protections than rely on employees revolting against questionable practices as the only recourse.
Quite a large number of LED fixtures flicker at line frequency, sadly, even in "luxury" buildings.
Dozens of hollywood movies from Hellboy (2004), Constantine, to R.I.P.D.

Absolutely, and it tracked along with technology and my ability to just cram more particles in the simulation or use new structures entirely like VDBs or Sparse Volumes. But the basic use of many (many many) layers of sculpted Perlin noise never changed.
TL;DR The current best hypothesis:

>They figured it was more probable that young male mammoths were much more likely to travel solo, away from the wisdom and protection of matriarchal herds, similar to the way elephant societies function today. In other words, these male mammoths—young, reckless, foolhardy—were just more likely to get into some kind of trouble and die, from getting stuck in a pit to running afoul of hunting humans. Luckily for paleontologists, some of these death sites—bogs, crevices, lakes—are pretty good at preserving remains. “They were more likely to do silly things, like die in tar pits,” Gower says.
> Hardware keeps getting faster and software still keeps becoming slower.

I do know what you mean :D

> For export, avoiding reencoding where possible is a must in my opinion, e.g., for extracting clips from a video (even if frame boundaries are inexact).

At this time, this is not as easy as I'd like. I can't use ffmpeg, because my app in commercial. So at this time I do reencoding -- these are implementation details I simply can't avoid.

However, this happens on GPU, and it's really really fast. Especially on a decent graphic card.

> Also, I would like it to be super easy to keep the existing frame rate, quality, encoding, etc. Most software I see today ask for fresh export settings and not let easily figure the current ones (I guess assuming each video clip imported may have differences on these parameters).

This is doable (basically, guessing the best arguments by looking at all imported videos).

> It would be so much better, for some tasks, to treat videos like usual documents - open, edit, save (to the same location), as opposed to import, edit, export.

This is an interesting idea. Do you mean, have a special extension, and when you open it do your editing + auto save + at close, you've already saved the video project?
Which part of my comment is not true? That corporate culture changes with time? That you can't trust companies like you can humans? I'm genuinely curious with which part you disagree.

It's nice that you can feel morally superior by working at Google (I assume you work there by how hard you are claiming they are good) but please realize that sentiment is not universally shared. _You_ can trust Google to do the right thing but the replies in these comments alone show that there's at least a noteworthy amount of people who are distrustful or at least would rather not have to be trustful of Google. And this also applies to other mega-corporations too.

You not having concerns doesn't invalidate other people's concerns. Trust does alleviate concerns but for some people trusting a corporation is a very tenuous emotion.
In terms of pay, having compared offers before, one would be better of at Facebook than Google but tied with Apple. Apple has less perks but more monetary compensation to make up for it because their stock isn’t nearly the liability and Apple actually releases new products and services instead of sucking their existing property dry. Who would want to work at Facebook? There is literally nothing your company does worth getting excited to come to work for.
And what happens when Googlers do become stupid? Or if they make a mistake? Or if they are hacked.

Google should never be given access to this type of data. Never.
They just stopped in 2017.

I switched to Linux last week. It's nice.
Everquest is still around. They've got a free play option which is great if you want to indulge in nostalgia.

The main limits on free play are you can't have as many different characters, and you don't get some of the newer features or you get limited versions of them.

If you can remember your old account information, your account will have limits and abilities somewhere between a paid account and a new free account.

Some big changes since the old days, aside from a very large number of new zones, include:

1. The game is much more solo friendly. I had no trouble soloing a bard a couple years ago to around level 60 on a free play old account. I then switched to paid and got him to the mid 80s. There I stopped, not because it was getting difficult to solo, but because I'd satisfied my nostalgia need.

2. Related to #1, you can hire an NPC mercenary. There are tank, healer, and DPS mercenaries. There are apprentice mercenaries and journeyman mercenaries, with four different tiers of each type (lower tiers cost less, but are wimpier). If you play a healer or DPS class and hire a tier 4 apprentice tank mercenary, you and the mercenary will be able to take on nearly any content that would normally require a full group, up to around level 60. Same of you play a tank class and hire a healer mercenary.

Only paid accounts get to use journeyman mercenaries. That was the main reason I switched to paid after level 60.

3. There are a large number of good quests now. You can go to a lot of the expansion zones and find quests that will involve taking you to all the interesting spots in the zone. The Hero's Journey quest, which you get in a book at the start of the game, will suggest a path that can keep you busy and advancing for the next 60 levels.

4. Lots of UI improvements.

5. Veteran Rewards for existing accounts. For each year of your account, you get certain bonuses. One big one, which will almost certainly be on your old account, is a free resurrection. Once a week real time, you can go to an NPC healer in certain zones and ask them for a resurrection, and they will summon all your corpses and then give you a 100% XP resurrection.

Other Veteran Rewards include a 15 minute resist, stats, and run speed boost, usable once every 20 hours, a health/mana/endurance complete restoration usable every 3 days, 30 minutes of double XP usable once every 20 hours, one that summons a banker to your location and one that summons a merchant (both usable every 20 hours), and a few more.

All in all, free play EQ is nowadays a quite good solo game, at least for 30 levels or so, and for at least 50-60 levels if you have an old account, and for quite a bit farther on a paid account.

PS: system requirements are quite low by today's standards. My ancient PC (Asus P5Q, Core 2 Duo e8400, 8 GB RAM, Nvidia GeForce GTX 460) has no trouble running two instances of EQ at once. It could probably do 3.
I don’t get the charger whining from people. If you add the price of the charger and the wired earphones to the price of the phone then with inflation it’s cheaper than the handsets were in 2018.

I’ve got 7 Apple chargers here as well. This is a completely rational decision which is transitional while we all move to USB-C slowly.

Your general point is right but it’s not the state of the company you need to look at but the direction they are travelling and Apple appears to be heading in the least wrong direction.
This doesn't surprise me at all. I've run a few, albeit very small, campaigns on FB. I set up targetting (occupation and geography) and I would get people outside of my target 'liking' my ad. I'd reach out anyways to ask if they are interested in my product and they would never respond. I oftened wondered if they were just fake/bot accounts to make it look like my ads were getting attention. I'm glad some company has taken them to court to determine what is really going on.
>Further the 'explanation' that males might have taken more risks, explains nothing.

It does though:

>Luckily for paleontologists, some of these death sites—bogs, crevices, lakes—are pretty good at preserving remains.
I've been replaying the first Dark Souls in co-op with a friend over the past few months. As long as you stay out of the shield-turtle playstyle trap (something that took convincing for my friend) it's a lot of fun. I will say there's a steep quality drop in the back half of the game (post Anor Londo). The Artorias DLC matches the best of it, though.

Only advice I'd pay to newbies is to get good at dodgerolling instead of using a shield. Turtling behind a shield is very effective in Dark Souls 1 (fixed in later installments) but becomes dreadfully boring after a while. The game has a reputation as being difficult but if you summon NPCs or other players for boss fights they are quite easy (purists might say this defeats the entire point).
They also made the Sanctum series, which is an extremely satisfying tower defense/FPS hybrid.
I'm very surprised that a scientist who previously worked with shaved dice did not take into account or even mentioned what kind of coin they were working with. Many coins are not even close to equal weight or shape on each side.
My boss plays these games.

"I just got back from a super-secret conference where someone you don't know--and can't ask questions of--gave me a private demonstration of how they're doing ___ using nothing but Coca-Cola and Mentos.

Your request for funding for ___ is denied, but I'll meet you halfway-- here's a pack of Mentos."
I love my reMarkable. The software might not be as polished as an iPad, but the marker, the feel of writing on the device, and the focus that it gives me is incredible. I love writing on paper, but I hate my disorganization with storing and referencing notebooks. The 8 month pre-order had me quite worried, but I’m so glad I waited it out.
They are nowadays
This was so much more background than I’d dared hoped for! Thanks, really interesting. What a mess.
It’s not, I quite like the Unix base of OSX. However there are many things where you need to tinker with the settings quite a bit to get apps to work well, that work out of the box on Linux.

I know Linux has enough / more problems than OSX, but I’m finally quite motivated to take a stance on this, it’s getting ridiculous on how much big tech want to control our machines.

If you mean installing Linux directly on my MacBook, sure that is possible — however I am happy with Catalina for now, so will just upgrade to the latest x86 Linux build in about 3 years. Unless M1 changes the computing world all together....

Is it possible for your to return the car and get a different model since the dealership obviously lied to you? Seems like a huge premium to pay for a non-existent feature.
Must be why my foreign employees always want to visit the Apple store before returning to their home.
Computer Modern

Good call. Everyone who's been to college (especially to study CS? exclusively to study CS?) and read a few papers after 198x is familiar with it.
Exception would likely be pictures of celebrities. Their managers would not want those being distributed and would sue whoever they could.
Any possibility it's a military prototype?

There's at least two or three Air Force bases in the area around Palo Verdes. I don't think they'd be flying some secret prototype in that area and in broad daylight like this, but its always hard to figure out what and why the military does sometimes.
Um, nope. Couldn't figure out how to use the JOINs and gave up.
People often claim survivorship bias for such things, and it may sometimes be true, but I think it often misses the point. It may be true that overall, the landscape of an art form wasn't much different than today. However, it is obviously plausible that the "highest highs" would be higher in some period X than some period Y - it would be actually much more surprising if an art form were of uniform quality across many decades.

I don't have enough cinema culture to comment on cinema specifically, but I believe this is pretty obvious in music. Comparing things like Beethoven's 5th and 9th symphonies to any modern music (especially if comparing only the main themes, given today's preference for very short form music), it's obvious that there is nothing similar, and even modern audiences generally recognize the superiority of the older one.

As a more focused comparison, it's also obvious and largely uncontroversial that the amount of good rock music being produced has plummeted since at least the 1970s-1980s. There are still a few good bands (Rammstein has been an unexpected highlight for me), but compared to a period when you had Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, David Bowie, Black Sabbath, Queen, Deep Purple, Metallica, The Rolling Stones and a good many others, it's obvious that something has gone down in the highest highs of music.
One of my favorites from HBO.

The first time I watched it the first few episodes felt a little weak (like a network tv cop show), almost gave up on it but glad I didn't.
I guess the block-based document editor field is heating up. With this tool's native iOS and macOS apps, I hope they either unseat Notion, or launch Notion into making native tools. Their web-based UI has extremely poor performance.
Thanks for your comment. How useful are medic alert bracelets for this purpose? I hate carrying anything on me when I run, even my driver's license, so I got a medic alert bracelet a few years ago. I sometimes wonder if it'll really do any good.
Embarrassingly, I double-checked the spelling on "Edsger", but still didn't catch that.
Let’s be real, ad tech is a shady business with Facebook leading the charge. This shouldn’t be surprising to any ad executive whose performance isn’t measured by actual dollars generated, but by impressions, money spent, cost per click, and various other dubious metrics which are conveniently provided by the ad network.

Not to saying the ad network isn’t valueable (it is and the largest tech companies are ad networks), but that the numbers are juiced shouldn’t be surprising. It’s in every decision makers interest that it is.
Pretty much what I was thinking on why this would be a worthwhile opportunity to investigate.
> hype has actually increased.

Marketing can do that. And as Apple seems to be betting its future on ARM chips, you can bet that they will "market" the hell out of it.
Lol :D

Windows can suck, in lots of ways ;) Now multiply that by 1000x if you're a developer :D

> I would like more "tracks" to drop stuff in and have the app assume what 99% of users are trying to do.

Right now I allow for 9 video tracks + 6 audio tracks, but I'll soon have 20 video tracks + 12 audio tracks.

> Lots of Right click context menus are awesome too.

Agreed. I will add right click menus at a later time. Right now, pretty much everything is right there simple (IMO of course :D), at the touch of a button.
Yes even if you don't pay because unless revenge is part of the target attacking you they just wastes time with no gain.
