Nobody actually knows how she got the job. The person who runs the EU, the most powerful organisation in Europe, is appointed via a secret process decided in meetings with no public agenda and no published minutes.

The closest I've ever seen to an explanation was one well known senior MEP's claim that "the next head of the EU must be a woman". Same thing as Kamala Harris. von der Leyen in turn then insisted that 50% of the Commissioners be women. Constitutionally, the head of the commission does not get to pick the commissioners, the countries do, but if there's one thing I've learned about the EU over the years it's that it's a big fan of law as long as the law is convenient for its own goals. Given it writes those laws that's usually pretty easy, but the moment the rules go against what it wants politically they are very suddenly ignored, often to a breathtaking scale.

Observe how von der Leyen blatantly lied about the contents of the redacted contract to the whole world. She was only caught because the Commission suck at PDF. It's hard to imagine it's the first time she has boldly lied like that.
I don't see it, I got geforce now and that's because it's cheap much cheaper then buying a new game pc or console.

"Eating every 8 hours shown to improve tail and whisker growth [in <you can guess>]"
I recently read "Why we sleep" by Matthew Walker (pretty good book overall). He provides evidence that states the ideal amount of daily sleep is between 7-8 hours. Any more or less is detrimental to overall health.
I have to say that in my whole career of doing Java / Clojure, Google’s SDK are one of the worst in terms of dependency hell. It’s incredibly unpleasant to work with, lots of breaking incompatibilities with libraries, etcetera.

I may sound very snarky, but it really feels like an over engineered mess and I suspect the reason they need all these dependency tricks is the fact that it’s over engineered, not necessarily that the problem they’re solving is so unique that they need circular dependencies.
I guess your answers are:
1. Have the right
2. Have the right
3. Don't have the right
4. Don't have the right
5. Have the right

But what's so different between 2 and 3 or between 4 and 5? I could understand it if you see them as grey areas but it sounds like you're adamant they have no moral requirement to serve ginger people but that it's immoral to refuse short-sighted people. And why are religious and political ideologies distinct?

I don't have much of an answer myself, but I don't think religion should be protected. People are free to change their religion or lie about it to avoid discrimination if they want. Do you agree that excluding Muslims is wrong but excluding (nonviolent) Islamists is a right? How can you even tell the difference?

I wondered if you opinion was based on some philosophy. It seems it's just a copy of what you've absorbed from your culture and suffers from all the same problems.
Some threads to follow if you are interested in pursuing the "intentional" angle:

- Michael Aquino and PSYOP/MindWar

- Project MKULTRA and its connections to certain mass phenomena such as widespread distribution of LSD in counterculture circles in the 1960s, or even to domestic television programming: https://twitter.com/paulkleinfancam/status/13011978908876021...

- Iran/Contra and the War on Drugs as a stark example of "playing both sides," i.e. trafficking drugs into the U.S. and whipping up public panic and domestic military crackdown in response. I find this to be a particularly case where intentionality is hard to dismiss in favor of incompetence because so many of the players are present on both "sides" of the operation

- Brian Hayden's examination of the role of secret societies in indigenous civilizations, where it has been observed that an occulted elite of "aggrandizers" would use various means of terror and ritual to control the mass of people to direct wealth and power to themselves (article here: https://www.templeton.org/grant/the-role-of-religion-in-soci... podcast here: https://auticulture.com/the-liminalist-223-the-arrival-of-th...)
> It will come a time in US when people will come to understanding that the Internet exists, and one does not take any random thing on the Internet at face value.

It's been 30 years and so far it hasn't happened.

I also very much doubt it will ever happen as this would go against all we know about basic human psychology. Rumor sites such as this one tap into the same mechanism that makes rumors, conspiracy theories and superstions effective since forever: Once people have decided for whatever reason they trust a particular source of information, it will take some exceptional events to make them distrust it again. Someone else simply stating that the source should not be trusted is by far not enough.
The title supports my current values so well, I won't even bother scrutinizing the article. :)
Not quite the same as the linked site, but Wikipedia has an extensive list of cognitive biases, most of which link to their own page.

Depends on what is meant by learning logical reasoning.

Raymond Smullyan has a bunch of puzzle books that are easily approachable, and some more formal books.

George Polya has a book called "How to Solve It."

There's a great graphic novel "Logicomix" that can give
a good introduction to people involved in analytic philosophy.
Right, I should have been more clear: Anthos on-prem "just" gives you the Kubernetes part of that API consistency story.

On machine management, it's intentionally the case that administrators can control the base machine part via "Bring Your Own Node", because of all the processes and compliance things that customers have in place for their other boxes. They don't want their GKE cluster to be some rogue actor in their datacenter (more than it will be already).

Some customers are happy to let a provider own the end-to-end story of the base OS, including patching/upgrades, though we're not (currently) ready to support them running Container-Optimized OS (aka COS) on bare metal. We do have in-place upgrading of the K8s parts via ```bmctl upgrade cluster``` or ```kubectl apply``` [1], but expect that enterprises will prefer to use their existing patch management procedures. I don't expect most enterprises to jump on "single cloud provider" patch management (e.g., our own patch management [2]) anytime soon.

Think of the progression this way:

- many large enterprises wanted to add in K8s on-prem into their existing vSphere universes

- others wanted out of vSphere but still had their own machines and own ticketing/OS/patching systems

- others still want to "bring their own metal" with the rest managed by a provider.

- Outposts sort of jumps to "you want our boxes but in your datacenter"

The Outposts angle is definitely a great fit for customers who want a more "appliance-like" behavior. And I think that works great for new workloads, or customers who don't mind replacing their existing hardware. My take is that many folks want to modernize in place though, and setting up and maintaining K8s was the hard part for them (they kind of still like their patch management and machine ticketing systems). Getting their developers to just do kubectl apply all day instead of requesting boxes is already a big leg up.

My parents are on the verge of retiring in Clearwater and they're trying to persuade their children to come with them. My sister and her family are already considering it. I'm pretty skeptical about the whole thing, being single, nearing 30, and having lived in a city (Chicago proper) for the entirety of my life. It seems like a good move, financially, though I know two people who say they hate Florida (one from Tampa who couldn't wait to leave) and I can only guess that it's as terrible as you say. Should I suck it up and move anyway? I'm already somewhat socially withdrawn and it would be good to be near my parents in their old age.
You're going to have to explain to me how this post is any different from Cramer banging his buy button about a specific stock on CNBC. It can't be that the difference is that people actually did it... So what is the difference?
They don't need to compete with a state of the art local setup, they just need to sell something better than what the user happens the have. There's a large delta between those two things that Stadia can live in.
There was a thread about this actually: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25908084
> I'd like to see a developer that does not know that facebook tracks you after everything that's been in the news.

I'm not entirely sure what you are talking about here. Facebook has been getting a lot of negative press, mostly about enabling hate groups. I haven't seen a ton of press talking about how including sign in with Facebook leaks tons of information back to Facebook.

Lots of negative FB press, none that I can really think of that focuses on how their APIs drive their information dragnet.

I have to wonder also how much of this gets lost in translation. If you are an Indian developer team, do you realize the implication of including the Facebook API?
It lets enthusiastic people express their enthusiasm without overriding the crowd's preference.

Someone who is very knowledgeable or passionate can keep upvoting, but as their voting power dampens new voters will quickly overwhelm their vote. So it strikes a nice balance between leveraging people's passion and the wisdom of crowds.
One of the worst I came across is TeamViewer. You can sign up instantly for your organisation.

They throughout your time on them send you a spammy marketing email once every 3 to 5 days - the sort of stuff that's everyone ignores. You get one renewal remind amongst all that crap a week before your final month, usually sandwiched between two other mails.

Then when you want to cancel it...there is no easy link to cancel online they way their is to sign up. To top it off, you have to cancel it before that final month before hand by opening up a ticket on their system. Then it's not automatically cancelled, they setup a call to speak to a rep. If you miss that and then you enter your final month - they automatically renew and make you pay for another year up front! Even endless calls with the German call centre does not get a refund for this dark pattern.

TLDR: avoid TeamViewer
How many cellphone towers from JIO have the protesters destroyed till now? It was over 1500 last I checked, but that was like end of December.

Destroying private property based on arbit FUD propaganda. Oh so peaceful.
Usually there is no way to identify it. Even if the contents were spelled out, you wouldn't know which chocolate contained which filler.

Forest Gump came out in the mid 90s.
Yeah though FWIW Delphi was also a much more intimidating product to get into while VB was like a drawing program where you draw a GUI (there is even a color palette!) instead of a picture and then put some bit of logic - the IDE even tried to avoid intimidating you via your own code by only showing a single routine at a time.
Ahh, I see that might be a bit confusing, thanks for pointing this out!

When you first tap or click on a piece, it auto rotates to its correct rotation.

I'm thinking about adding an option to let people choose if they want to click-to-rotate or even disable rotation completely.
This was oddly nostalgic. Reminds me of all the time I spent tinkering with Windows 98 as a kid perhaps.
> Why would there be a difference in you coming to me and saying, [ ... ]

because if I really don't want to agree with you, I can accept your story but regard it as an anecdote that does not contradict what I see/read from my media bubble.

I can't do that with the study from research institute XYZ, so I'll just dismiss it out of hand. This requires more cognitive effort (for example, I have to explicitly or implicitly assert that XYZ people are all liars, or idiots, or both).

It's much easier for me to accept your story because even if I don't believe it to be true or representative, my rejection doesn't require much effort, and doesn't require me being overtly negative towards you.
And I’m aware of the 2x speed button
> designed for planned obsolescence after 5-7 years

The big three tried that in the 1970's.

I have a thoery why it doesn't work. It's because resale value matters. Price out how much people are willing to pay for a Mercedes-Benz Sprinter. Now look at the price of a used sprinter with a 150k miles on it vs a random Ford or Dodge van. It's about $20k vs under $10k

Companies that play the planned obsolesce game with EV's are going to find themselves in a quality vs price corner coffin. Because customers rightly perceive the companies cars as shoddy. The company can't charge enough to build quality cars. They get stuck just the way GM did 40 years ago. And is still stuck today.
macOS does very similar thing that Gnome/Wayland is using; except in Linux land, due to misc reasons[1], it works only for Wayland apps.

Yet, there are cries from the Internets, that it is not pixel perfect and other solution (Windows/Qt/Android-like) should be used.

[1] Mostly that you can't update client side libs like you can in Mac and Windows land and be done; there will be always some legacy X11 client that will connect directly to display server and ignore your modifications. On mac and windows, apps cannot talk directly to display server, the protocol is not public.
I think you meant to say "minimum wage job can't", not can.
I really hope so! I added support for it (https://github.com/getsentry/symbolicator/pull/142) the moment I saw the announcement :)
Can't speak to other countries but I know in NZ you're not allowed legally to rip DVDs or blurays you own (even just for private use, no distribution intended). The copyright act is structured with a whitelist of permissible format shifts, and while CDs made it onto that list, movie discs didn't.
> I understand paying for mandatory liability insurance, since you might hit a Bugatti Veyron and do damage far surpassing your net worth.

The amount of mandatory liability coverage in most jurisdictions will be a rounding error to totalling a Veyron. E.g., in California the mandatory property damage coverage is $5,000, while the value of the Veyron is about $2 million. So, with mandatory liability coverage your still out of pocket, well, essentially $2 million.
This is the right answer and I wish more languages would make this dramatically more ergonomic to do. Store the most basic normalized truth and query/derive what you need.
As a nearly daily user of Google Stadia I have to disagree. I use Stadia in two different households, one with a 50 Mbps connection (where Stadia works perfectly) an one with a connection capped at 10 Mbps down and 1 Mbps up. The 10 Mbps connection only allows for 720p gameplay and I get frequent stuttering every 5 minutes or so but this doesn't really ruin the experience with most story driven games like Red Dead Redemption 2 or AC Odyssey.

At first I was surprised by the playability of Stadia at such a slow connection myself but even though I cannot play shooter games I wouldn't go as far to call the experience I get with the 10 Mbps connection 'unplayable'.
In rsk everybody is at a roughly similar technological level. it really depends on things like technological level difference (ask the mayas and aztec) and philosophy, and if you're expanding as fast as you can, you can probably mobilize resources rather easily. Then you have philosophical difference: are you expanding to make friends, or just to gather resources for the hive queen?
I think that given the question about "how these instruments work in some depth" Hull is more appropriate.
Sorry - I was referring more to some other stuff I was reading than anything you said.

It has to do with it because it enables it. It's part of abstracting investing away from providing capital to companies because you believe they will succeed. Somewhere there is an argument for why these abstractions are beneficial to more than just the people profiting off of them. Why do you keep studiously avoiding engaging on this?
> 50 megabits/60 milliseconds is a good connection by US broadband standards these days!

Average us internet speed (speed paid for - not just speed available) is >120 megabits so I wouldn’t exactly call that good considering gamers are likely to have faster than average connections
I don't think a single HN submission does this topic justice but the fact that there are so many small farmers to begin with is strange.

It's highly inefficient. It would be better if they get a city job and let a big agriculture company take over. This would increase incomes on both sides.
I do not see as a different problem really, what you are describing is having a separate cursor per view (which is something programs already do).

Also i'm talking about an ideal hypothetical system here, not something that exists - but it is certainly possible to do something like that, you are way too quick to dismiss something as not possible.

Let’s see what good you’re going to say about Trump when he dies.
Then why would you put the code in a public repo with an open source license?
Even if you individually control the photons, I'm not sure that's possible. Matter still behaves like a wave at quantum levels. I don't know enough to say with certainty. This is all highly speculative.
It sounds like you believe people can behave more in line with the Rational Human used to model older economic theories. I'm not so sure confirmation, affinity, or proximity biases can be held down. What we need is a system that is either immune to these biases, or is designed to thwart them.

My opinion: individual's actions and beliefs do not put a dent in the tsunami of bias that swamps our brains. We need systemic thinking (e.g. science has a decent structure with double blind studies).
The tech and infrastructure aren't there yet and the Stadia rollout has been a laughingstock, but cloud gaming is still the future of multiplayer video games (and, since game-as-a-service is (sadly) the future of AAA game models, and because operating a game-as-a-service essentially requires your game to be multiplayer in order to entice people to keep playing (via community-based social reinforcement and the status-seeking that drives the purchase of cosmetics), that's going to be an increasingly large proportion of all AAA games).

In terms of latency, having your game in the cloud is worse. In terms of graphics, it's going to be worse compared to having high-end local hardware.

Despite all that, the killer app that will tip the scale is cheat prevention. Cloud gaming annihilates nearly every category of cheat. Wallhacks? Impossible. Infinite health? Impossible. Flyhacks and speedhacks? Impossible. The only category that isn't completely eviscerated is aimhacking, and even then it will be dramatically harder and less beneficial to aimhack, since you will need local realtime image analysis to do it properly and you won't even be able to aim at targets you can't currently see.

Once multiplayer gamers get a taste of that, there's no going back.

Sadly, over enough time I fear this effect will start destroying the market for high-end PC hardware, which will be both sad and a detriment to general computing.
Even if you're right on average (this is not establishing a position on whether that's the case, but hypothetically if you are), there are exceptions. Not recognizing exceptions is an issue even in this scenario. There are places where being white isn't advantageous, not only places one may travel to, but where one calls home.
>false realities

Or just other people's realities. You mention BLM riots, which affected me a great deal; tens of millions in damages to my city, destruction of local landmarks, one of the teachers in my local school district was arrested for assaulting a state politician for recording them burning a police car, and to top it off, they smashed the pharmacy where I get my wife's medicine, so she had to go without for a few days. This isn't some biased false reality/folk wisdom. This was my experience so when people tell me they were "peaceful protests" or the news says "statistically, they were 99.99999999% peaceful" but I look at what I saw with my own eyes, and also what was on TV in other cities... I can't be convinced that they weren't violent, destructive, and plainly, evil, no matter how much other people tell me what to think.
I'm guessing "præsented" is what caught GP's eye. I've never seen that before, was is supposed to be "presented" or is that how it would be spelled in your native language/dialect?
and we just getting started.
Electron is the biggest offender these days. I saw that they added support a few months ago but it seems the apps haven't turned it on yet
Tried Stadia today and closed my account in less than 15 minutes. Those triple-A games they advertise on the front? Well they aren’t available unless you want to purchase them. You get access to I shit you not like 15 games that are not titles I care to play.

It’s a big bait and switch as far as I’m concerned. Those triple-A titles might be available some day, but who knows when that day will be. I left very unsatisfied and didn’t even try streaming anything.
I used Stadia for a while, but after a couple months, the compression started to bum me out. It really worked great, and playing the latest Assassin's Creed on a $200 Chromebook is really something else. But when I would switch to my main TV, I started thinking about how I had given up on the last uncompressed input to my TV; my game console. Dark area blocks, color banding, it all started driving me nuts.
> Unfortunately leds have made light pollution worse.

They also do an end run around the legal efforts to contain or limit light pollution.

In my state, we have the Dark Skies Act which tries to limit the amount of light pollution in certain areas, but it largely hasn't been updated for the use of LEDs. Some counties now define light output based on lumens, but the law AFAIK still references wattage limits. So, new lights that, under the intent of the law, are too bright and require shielding can probably skirt around it (IANAL).

But, almost no one knows about it, so enforcement is spotty at best.

(I'm slightly annoyed presently, because some new neighbors installed a floodlight that's pointed directly at my bedroom from across the valley and it doesn't appear to be doing anything useful. Stargazing and amateur astronomy is going to suck this summer.)
>> Anyway, big rigs have loose steering because they need precision at highway speeds.

The opposite is actually true. Big rigs have loose steering so that the driver will Not jack knife the truck in a panic situation.

A tighter steering rack is Much more precise. Street tires, and especially racing tires, work best (have the most grip) at very narrow slip angles.
