That aside, I do not think this is a bad move at all. None of the titles they were working on were that appealing, hopefully it will mean they pivot to integrate more into a shared licensing model. I would pay $5 a month to be able to import my current Steam games and play remotely, but this fractured model is incredibly reminiscent of video streaming.

We had a first mover (Steam/ Netflix) come in and now all the stragglers are saturating the market with similar but slightly differentiated products (Stadia/ Peacock). I am curious what the next evolution of this model will look like.

There is no minimum legal drinking age in France*, the limit is only for buying/selling.

* illegal to get a minor drunk no matter the age, parents must be present if the minor is under 16, minor is under parent supervision and responsibility in any case (source : https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%82ge_l%C3%A9gal_pour_la_co... )
Like a Jupyter notebook but for satellite imagery? I think a good number of people may have taken your idea and ran with it :)

Google Earth Engine, Astraea, Descartes Labs, and a whole host of other companies have demonstrated a ton of value in this space, so you're absolutely correct. There's definitely work to be done fusing in other data sources like AIS, but I think the foundation is set.

Let us know if you end up building it - we'd be more than happy to float you some test data!
For context, Amazon is also struggling to make first party games [1]. I think it was hubris that these large companies didn't start with smaller scoped games and instead jumped head first into building their own engines and ips.

Why not ask something that isn't in the Wikipedia article?
Coffee consumption was actually one of the questions that I was asked when my therapist first suspected that I had ADHD. I used to drink 5+ cups per day (especially workdays) while feeling fairly little effect from it. I'm now on medication which works an order of magnitude better for managing my symptoms, and I rarely drink more than 1 cup of coffee per day.

It's also worth noting that ADHD often comes with other mental health comorbidities; in my case, it exacerbated my depression. I would often fall into a spiral of inability to focus -> feeling bad about myself for not completing work that I was generally more than capable of doing -> even less ability to focus. I still have depression, but starting on ADHD medication all-but-removed my most frequent trigger.
I don't think it would, people would still be willing to pay more to cut the line.
Nothing of real note it seems: https://www.nme.com/news/gaming-news/google-stadia-announces...
I used to favor full legalization, but now I think it's a bad idea. If you can simply go to a store to buy heroin (like you can with weed in many places now), I think we will inevitably have more heroin addicts. People will get addicting just trying it out, and get addicted because they are self-medicating.

There are middle-grounds between full legalization and full prohibition. It seems obvious that prohibition has been a failure. I think instead we should base it on how harmful and addictive they are. Drugs with low harm and low addiction potential should be easy to get. Other drugs should be legally obtainable (and manufactured and distributed by legitimate means) by addicts, but hard to get for most people.

Sometimes people bring up the case of alcohol, which seems to have relatively high addiction potential and harm, yet is still legal. I think this is a case of path dependence though. I don't know if I would advocate making a similarly harmful drug legal and easily obtainable today, but the cat is out of the bag on that one.
Great video, thanks for sharing.

I can't help but wonder if the DTCC was pressured into raising those GME collateral requirements up to 100%. After all, there is a subjective element to this decision.

https://twitter.com/KralcTrebor/status/1355544072652533760

This would be a pretty "clean" way to limit the GME short squeeze -- it can then be blamed on risk management rules for the overall financial system.

I think this might get the “oh, Google shuts down another area after a few years, color me surprised” crowd going, but for me this is totally the right move.

There are a LOT of videogame developers out there. Many of them are quite good at what they do.

The cloud gaming space, while much better than it used to be, has plenty of room for improvement — it’s not remotely mainstream yet, and there’s still time yet to mint the cloud gaming household name.

Apple gets thousands of complaints a day. They have to do a detailed investigation or they’ll risk pulling legitimate apps. The apps can also be geofenced so the behavior doesn’t occur in Cupertino.

Just because Apple doesn’t immediately remove a scam doesn’t mean they aren’t working to remove it.
Before going to Windows, I left Homebrew and went back to Macports for a couple of years.

It did everything I needed and while you might argue that writing a Ruby formula is easier than packaging something for Macports, it was a feature I never really needed compared to the ability to easily install specific versions of software going as far back as I needed. Much more akin to the Debian approach, but with faster updates for newer versions.

But, as a hacker, I agree. If it's not neatly wrapped up for you by a package manager then you're perfectly equipped to pull down a prebuilt binary from a repo or compile it from source. If I felt at the whim of the apt package manager I'd still be complaining about the lack of XDG support in tmux, instead of wget'ing a tarball and doing a good old make && make install.
Actually I also have plans to work on a generic admin UI based on OpenAPI, so it would be independent of any DB or ORM, just based on the defined Pydantic models.

> Without targeted advertising, the ads are also dominated by mega insurance companies because they have the biggest advertising budgets.

The same applies for thousands of other products/services that are localized.

You're talking about geo targeting here, which imo should still be possible. That's an in-the-moment targeting akin to an advertiser choosing to show their ad on a local news site. This doesn't require extensive tracking and profiling of users.

You guys rock and the entire Linux community owes you big time.
Once you installed videolan you were ready for all media formats.
It was so tiresome to tell the people you convinced to try Linux that no, by default they couldn't play their media, that they needed gstreamer this and that.
You made the transition to Linux so much easier to lots of people by offering a simple to use very feature rich application everyone needs and uses.

Thank you!
It is indeed not trivial at all that a large official organization decided to contribute a significant program/project under the GPL rather than a permissive license. Thanks goes to the Ecole Central Paris for that part.
Yes, but there is a subjective element to the calculation.

> We don't have to guess at the formula. It's public, as are the rules and procedures for implementing them. I've read them. They have an add-on for situations like this. The add-on has a calc. That calc has a parameter they pick, which just multiplies it by whatever they want.

It's the buying/selling age. There is technically no legal drinking age in France, but rules about minors (parent responsability under rule of "common sense", parent must be present if under 16, illegal to have the minor drunk no matter what).

Eg your parents giving you a small glass of champagne at new year when you're 12 is legal.
Here's a source for the reinfection rate. I've seen a few studies that all came to the < 1% conclusion:

https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2021.01.15.21249731v...

The Manaus data is interesting. The basis for assuming there's reinfection happening seems to be a seroprevalence survey done over the summer which estimated 76% of the population had antibodies to the virus. The accuracy of that survey has been called into question for a variety of reasons. The survey was done through blood donors and apparently they incentivized blood donation by offering people the results of their antibodies test as part of donation. Since testing capacity during peak infection was limited, this would give people who thought they might have had the virus (and likely did) incentive to donate blood and made the sample not nearly as random as it was presented to be.
Yeah, it's simpler to just take a percentage of all purchases that happen on their platform than to actually create the content.

Not to mention “inflammable”, which means the same as “flammable”. Because the former is so easily misunderstood – and has been – warning labels now use the latter.
That's business as usual. Open source is breaking the norm of the corporate world and that is usually what makes a product like raspberry pi gain traction. Because it's accessible enough for regular people to play with for free.

Countless manufacturers have made closed products and sold them for license money. Nothing new there.
If I run Weechat on my VPS, and join a few high-traffic IRC rooms, I expect my average CPU use to be 0%. Same if I run mailman with a few messages per minute, or an IRC server.

The fact that we can now run it on a VPS is an improvement, but it is still orders of magnitude heavier than equivalent non-decentralized systems.
Exactly. Lots of trade-offs in remote sensing. We're bullish on SAR to clean up on monitoring applications, due to the ability to see through clouds and at night. As that plays out, high res optical will be even more important for context when SAR detects some sort of change (then optical can be used to see what caused the change).
They don’t even need server logs. You could opt being logged for support matters if you have problems. To log every user is not needed. It should be illegal. If you need to log usage to improve or debug the app you could opt in users like beta testers. Final users shouldn’t be logged at all. Also you could make no-logging a paid feature
I think in this case it will have Android Auto built in like the polestar.
I'm confused why people are saying non-criminal traffic tickets. In my state, traffic violations are usually summary offenses. I'm not familiar with how all the states handle it, but I haven't come across non-criminal traffic citations.

Tatari | AdTech | https://www.tatari.tv/careers | LA/NY/SF (Remote thru 2021) | FT | Many/Most (+ Interns)

Tatari brings the immediacy of web-advertising analytics to broadcast television ads. We're also eating our competition's lunch in streaming ads, it's amazing. Clients hand us their video ads (and a budget) and we figure out what shows to put it on, and put it on those shows. Our tech goes into the data analytics and integrations with the rest of the industry's tech (or lack thereof). IMO the real selling point for potential employees is the culture.

We're looking for a lot of positions, but mostly front-end engineers (nodejs+react+graphql) and data scientists / data analysts. We can also find a place for exceptional candidates.

If you're one the rare non-tech folks browsing this thread, we're also looking for more client service ppl, marketers, and media buyers (like literally buy ads on shows). Check it out!

Tech stack is AWS (terraform managed), react front-end, python (Flask) backend, and a Pandas / SQL data pipeline.

Culturally, this is hands-down the best place I've ever worked. We have a weekly company-wide (~100ppl) "standup" that's actually effective and something I look forward to, everyone is competent or better, and even having the firehose job (solutions engineering) there's no stress. It's just nice here.
A lot of modern cars have large and well positioned displays that are ideal for maps; CarPlay/Android Auto let you put Google Maps on them instead of the car's crappy built in GPS.

We looked into these, but they honestly seemed like a pain to integrate + getting ops to learn a new DSL would need org changes I can't really influence. Have you used these? Would love to hear more! I'd much rather not build it myself haha

Is Money Evil?
Perhaps hubris. But it could also be the same thing that plagues every developer that tries to build games: procrastinating the impossible part (building games, especially games worth a damn) by the doing the easy part (building tools). And the delusion that you're doing anything of value because it feels productive. And the allure of generalization.
Fellow ADHD person:

Get diagnosed and get a low-dose of meds. It helps _a lot_. You will likely hate the feeling they give you for the first week (you will genuinely feel high even on 10mg Adderall XR), along with nightmares and night sweats but after a few weeks, you'll suddenly be productive at a very normal level.

I don't feel strung out nor is it some addiction. Ignore the people screaming about Adderall being "literal meth" and how it will certainly kill you. Even with an addictive personality, it's very easy to avoid over-doing it (hint: only take it as prescribed).

Medication is intended as a stop-gap to build a system so you won't need high doses forever. If you go into thinking meds are all that needs to be done, you are going about it wrong. You need to build a system and reflect on how to improve your baseline productivity and keep yourself on rails (planners, calendars, checking your work, reviewing work with a fresh mind before sending out, etc).

Additionally, it does help if you like what you are doing. I'd imagine ADHD is much easier to maintain if you are self-employed or have a large leeway to define how work gets done or what work gets done. If you are in a command-and-control / top-down power structure, you need to leave; you'll never thrive there and will ultimately get tossed out.

Lastly, caffeine does help from my testing, especially caffeine combined with L-Theanine. I used to take 100mg of HVMN "Sprint" pills as a test whether I had ADHD; it helped quite a bit. It didn't make me jittery and it let me focus much better.

> That didn't protect any small investors. Whom did it protect?

This question is irrelevant in the case of Robinhood, because they had no choice. It seems like that is also fundamentally why they didn't restrict selling — because they wren't required to, whereas they were required to restrict buying. I.e. they imposed the minimum necessary restrictions. This is exactly what you would want from someone in Robinhood's position. You don't want them making their own decisions about who can buy or sell.

> Somehow I doubt perjury attaches to an untranscripted chat on a celebrity-only private audio app. Everything at that third link seems highly lawyered: "From our perspective", "I wouldn’t impute", passive voice, etc.

If something was highly lawyered, do you really think they would go with a lie that would be this easy to disprove? I.e. a lie that relies on people with no interest in Robinhood to uphold it?

I don't know that it makes sense to base whether or not you believe him on things he has no control over.
illegality also suppresses uptake by new users.

Clearly that's not true, as evidenced by the enormous illegal drug trade. Highly regulated availability of safer substitutes for the worst drugs might reduce uptake of those worse drugs.

Balling all "drugs" into one category and declaring them legal for traffic and sale is a horrible idea.

That's not what the parent comment said. They specifically said based on health.
You can build an app that only serves an extremely narrow market niche to improve functionality that is incredibly important to the platform owner, but then you shouldn’t complain about being sherlocked or how tough competition is.
> If you look at an industry way of doing something and decide it’s wrong, you should have solid reasoning to back it up.

I agree! Now can we also agree that often what is touted as "best practice" is not industry practice, but rather built on "authority" as the article rightly claims?

The number one thing I hate about "best" practices is it heavily implies there is one and only one "correct" way to do things, and every other way is wrong.
All I get is that it's an "in joke" of sorts that has just never changed. What I'm asking is: is there anything more than that? Such as: why hasn't it changed (not that it should)?
