Public health officials have tried to get people to lose weight for a while before the pandemic hit, and weren't wildly successful. Considering the difficulties in getting people to go along with very easy interventions, like wearing masks, what makes you expect that public health officials will somehow be more successful at convincing people to lose weight?

I wrote and acquired a global patent on a VFX process for mass production of short form video with select actors automatically replaced with anyone. I bit more involved than face replacements, it was a film VFX derived process. My intent was personalized advertising. A portion of the process is the creation of a digital double of a person given at little as one photo. I had the pipeline working and was seeking partnerships.
It is a winner take all market. All money placed in the market goes to the winner.

So if I want Donald Trump dead and am willing to pay a million dollars, I start the market and put a million dollars in for tomorrow. Eventually he dies and someone collects. Almost certainly not me, and not necessarily an assassin.

But any would-be assassin who wants can place a bet and now has a million dollars riding on whether they succeed.

This is not novel, the idea has been around for a quarter century. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assassination_market for more.
Why do you think it is "supposed to help the common person"?

That seems like a weird assumption to start at.

I played every Ultima from IV through UO. I have such fond memories in VII of finagling a cannon into the back of a cart and driving around with my own artillery. Aiming was tough, but it was fun.

I had a great time in UO and spend a surprising amount of time making and selling furniture. My career ended when I entered the game, only to discover that a house had been placed on that location and I was unable to open the door to exit. :(

From what I have read and heard[1] is that these bills are mostly good and are what the country needs. Unfortunately, the current government's track record with implementing ideas is awful. Also, the country is divided and polarized to the hilt and therefore, no one is ready to listen to each other nor trusts one another.

The Current government failed to introduce these laws in an amicable manner and their ego won't let the farmers have any other way.

Origin reminds me of what happened to Bioware , selling out to EA that is used to reselling filler paste games like Madden XX or FIFA XX is just the death of a gaming studios.

I am glad that Steam/GOG/Xbox/Sony with digital downloads lowered the barriers to entry for independents to make and publish fun quirky and enjoyable games again.
This is exactly the mindset of a lot of developers that don't even bother looking at .NET. If you did. You would know that .NET is far beyond offering Mono. .NET and Mono merged back in 2016 to form .NET Core. Which was supported on all major OS platforms and was open sourced. .NET 5 was released in 2020 which merges the rest of .NET, including WinForms. Now all open sourced. .NET 6 has already been announced with a cross platform UI framework. So enterprisey and old, it is not.

"A total of 210 individual generating units within the footprint of the Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT), which covers most of Texas, experienced either an outage, a derate, or a failure to start. The loss of generation was severe enough on Feb. 2 to trigger a controlled load shed of 4 GW. Spot prices in ERCOT hit the $3,000 per MWh cap on Feb. 2, the worst day of the event. The following day, local transmission constraints coupled with the loss of local generation triggered load shedding for another 180,000 customers in the Rio Grande Valley in south Texas."

that is not close to the severity of what happened over the course of this week.

"According to the Electric Reliability Council of Texas, which manages 75% of the state's deregulated electricity market, the single-day record for demand, set in 2018, was smashed on Valentine's Day. And as the weather has gotten worse, the capacity to generate electricity has diminished: By Tuesday, per ERCOT's CEO, 45,000 megawatts of generating capacity was offline — up from 34,000 megawatts offline the day before, representing more than half of what the state typically uses in a day.

I think my best-case scenario would be an Electron replacement that is not so bloated and also keeps parts of Firefox well-funded and people looking at compatibility.

There's a company that purchases properties and rents them out, wraps them in an LLC, and then assigns ownership of the LLC via crypto tokens (this ownership is written into the LLC docs). Owners of the tokens then receive monthly payments for rent.

I'm wondering if it would be possible to do something similar to accomplish what you are talking about - advantage being that no laws need to be modified to make it possible. The LLC acts as a thin proxy layer between the US legal system and the NFT that assigns ownership. Essentially there could be a legal service that would allow wrapping and unwrapping of these properties, and once they are wrapped, DeFi mortgages would become possible, split ownership, transfer of ownership within DeFi, etc. I could imagine a whole ecosystem developing around this that people could buy and sell houses inside of.

To the greatest extent possible, don't let users type anything. First, let them validate your suggested inputs (if you can discern it or there are sane defaults). Next, let them select options (with your control over invariants, no way to select invalid scenarios). And only after the previous, let them type something in. Ideally separated into multiple fields so that you don't have to parse (screw you office time system that requires me to type 'hh:mm am/pm' precisely, an extra space or missing am/pm throws it off, even though it uses 24h time, so damn stupid).
I'm simply refusing the concept that my mental health is "opt-in".

If you don't want to interact with me, that's cool. If you want to ban large gatherings and restrict smaller ones for a period of time, I get it.

When it gets to the point that it becomes illegal to be outside without an excuse, 300 days in, you're just subjecting people to cruel and unusual punishment at this point.

The idea that people are going to die in greater proportion than the damage caused by preventing people from going for a walk to the park and sitting down with a cup of coffee is not backed by evidence, and I absolutely believe that you are trolling if you think we can all just endure this indefinitely. You're just gonna have to throw me in prison because I will treat those basic freedoms as absolute until the day I die.

I hope you stay safe, best wishes.
Except that it is framed as a renewables problem, when it has just been demonstrated to clearly be a problem for gas and other thermal generators. It is playing a shell game to transfer the capacity risk from one fault risk (extreme cold, effect on gas lines, icing, transmission lines) to capacity risk in renewables.
What kind of narrative can realistically serve as a foundation for a "healthy nationalism"? Abstract inclusive concepts like "Unity in Diversity", and "human rights" seem to have less ability to unify people than exclusionary identities like religion, race, language, or tribe.

Arguably, the things that have kept those exclusionary narratives somewhat at bay in the last half century have been

(1) the memories of the previouos horrors committed in the name of nationalism (though they are fading)

(2) advances in common welfare after WWII due to the the combination of industrial/technological advances and the government policies.

For example, would we have had the civil rights movement in the US if the standard of living for many white Americans didn't dramatically increase in the decades just prior? Hard to say for sure, but I doubt it. This is why growing inequality is so dangerous - it makes people less amenable to "healthy" nationalism and far more susceptible to "unhealthy" kinds.
Not necessarily. Any positive integer is greater than zero.

[I'm the author of fast-check] Here are some of the benefits that you won't have in jsverify and that pushed me to create fast-check:

- oneof can shrink

- map does not need unmap to be passed to be able to shrink

- can find bug (see bias in the doc) - in this example jsverify will not find any bugs: jsc.assert(jsc.forall(jsc.integer(),n => Math.abs(n) <= 50))*

- replay of previous runs based on seed + path

- race conditions detection

- model based testing

*The reason why it does not find the bug is that by default it will always generate small values. If you ask for jsc.integer(0, 1000000) then the test jsc.assert(jsc.forall(jsc.integer(0, 1000000),n => Math.abs(n) > 50)) will always be green too. Not with fast-check, it will find the issue for both cases.

> it forces you to understand how such a central concept of our era just works and how you, as a human being, have the power to make it work as long as possible

It does no such thing.

Instead it tricks someone into thinking that buying a used laptop is impactful when it absolutely truly isn’t. It lets them feel good about the many truly awful decisions they make on a daily basis.

If a person thinks that buying a used anything is how we “make it work as long as possible” they are sorely mistaken. It’s like thinking a guy sticking an oar in the water is going to slow the Titanic. Yes, technically the Titanic has slowed down by a minute amount but the icebergs not going to notice the difference.

> What's the point of preserving this planet if the humanity is going to die in the next 100 years?

This is a great question and one we’re seeing play out right now.

I don’t think the timeline is as short as 100 years but life 250 years from now is going to be absolutely awful. Personally, I don’t care one bit. I’ll be dead and I’m not adding more people to the mess.

But if someone does care and they’re having kids, they need to do a helluva lot more than teach them to buy used laptops.
If you remove the putting of stupid words in others’ mouths from this (great going there, btw), the only thing that remains is “but the courts could have not gotten the evidence”.

But if the evidence is not available, then there is no good reason to believe it.
You have to explain why people claiming it have enough evidence to believe it, but the courts don’t have enough evidence for it to be even claimed in the courts, if you want to claim that the reason is that courts don’t have access to the evidence.
It has no relation to transaction volume. It is related to the price of BTC and the block reward every 10 minutes. The higher the price, the more miners compete to find a block. Transaction volume can never increase because they have capped the block size at 1mb.
Yes, you can. There are a number of supressed-carrier modes, e.g. single side band.
Ultima 8 was the end - the jumping Super Mario mechanics and crappy story.
Well it was an honest question, not a suggestion. I suppose there are good reasons for that policy, just seems a shame to lose out on good honest updates because people are afraid to post without anonymity.
That seems fair, at least in the context you describe (not sure i'm there but that's not important).

I think the 'pay attention to the media source and journalist and decide if you think they're good' is a viable route in the meantime even in the context you provided.

The look stuff up yourself kinda thing always reminds me of the conspiracy theories that people develop after they 'research'.... it's so easy to find what you want to find...
> The creation of integers doesn't scale for large data volumes.

At which specific integer does the scaling start to slow down?
There are also the open-source Ultima game engine remakes:

Nuvie (for Ultima 6, Martian Dreams, and Savage Empire) - http://nuvie.sourceforge.net

Exult (for Ultima 7 and 7.5) - http://exult.sourceforge.net

Pentagram (for Ultima 8) - http://pentagram.sourceforge.net, now merged into ScummVM - https://www.scummvm.org.

All of these use the original game files to play the games and offer improved user interface options, higher resolutions, graphics scaling, wider fields of view, gameplay improvements, etc. These are a great way to play these old games on a modern computer.
Bless you for being robust. This is the spirit that will save humanity from regulatory spider webs, and produce some fantastic things long into the future.
It's a mix of intelligence and privilege. You only need to be just smart enough to take full advantage of said privilege. IIRC nobel prize winners have a median IQ of 120. You don't have to be that smart to win a nobel prize, but damned if it doesn't help to have parents to back you every step of the way through your education and training, and the sympathetic ear of a rich and connected network of peers and friends to help you secure grant money.

I dont want any changes to C. I just want to be able to query a process allocations. the OS has to keep the information in order to implement realloc and free, so the information is already there.
Everyday that will be Feedly, HN. Twitter and Youtube are very close but not everyday. And google of course, We cant do anything on the internet without a search engine.

I am increasingly finding Twitter very hard to follow. And it isn't the content but my usage patten doesn't fit it. I want it to be more like a RSS Reader where all of my followed account are listed. And categorised by their Topic. So these group of people belongs to Tech, those belongs to politics etc...
No, I unironically unsarcastically agree with your second paragraph (although I don't think they can do whatever they want, and this is not really about ToS at all).

They responded to the law in basically one of two ways they could have, and people don't like what they chose. But as I and others have pointed out, actions have consequences. And publishers had to have known this was a possible outcome.
I missed `guard let` for a while too, but eventually stumbled upon this pattern which is almost as good:

Underworld developer here. We certainly started it before we got the deal with Origin, but a lot of the design was done afterwards with the fact that it was an Ultima in mind. I'll grant that its Ultima-ness was thinner compared to many of the games with Roman numerals on them.

Ultima Underworld II, of course, was designed to be an Ultima game from the start.

The last time I checked on this situation, the Wine developers said they had indefinitely halted any plans for a Wayland port and not so much for the graphical reasons that this article suggests but the windowing a.p.i reasons. — so what changed in this regard?

Can this project actually render Windows windows on Wine or is it only for fullscreen games?

I’d say more likely than either of those things, it’s just convenient, and it gives them a(nother) selling point over other browsers.

Besides, assuming you live in the West, as long as you aren’t you’re planning a terrorist attack, watching child porn, selling drugs, weapons, assassinations, bomb making materials, etc, then brave will probably do

Oh shoot! If only the industry realized sooner that everything ultimately compiles to Assembly and thus decades of PL research were utterly useless! We were wrong about this the whole time. How could we not realize? We better off rewrite everything in Assembly to squeeze out every clock cycle!

We need something new here. This is not scalable. If a group of engineers can't write a new browser in sabbatical, then we need to change what a browser (and the spec) should be.

That's exactly what I was asking. The Go developers are knocking themselves out chasing this syscall in the hopes that it might improve performance? Has it been benchmarked?
It is pretty obvious from your comment history that you are just here to troll people:

"Method 10: Write an absolute piece of shit article on revue."

"I've read many stupid posts about de-googling ... But this one really amazes me"

"There are absolutely no words to describe the stupidity exhibited here."

That is just from the first few pages. This isn't reddit, I suggest you take that discourse over there.

The distribution of capital allocation doesn’t change by adopting a non-central bank based monetary system.

The thing you can choose is who is doing the capital allocation: Satoshi / Winklewoss brothers / Chamath / Elon Musk / Michael Saylor, or Trump / Biden / Putin / Christine Lagarde.

If you like Biden and Jerome Powell, keep your money in USD. If you like Putin, buy RUB. If you prefer the libertarian crowd, buy Bitcoin. If none of this is good there are socialist cryptocurrencies as well for you to choose from or you can create your own.

this is a great question, I actually think that if your language is also R, MSsql r integration is a great option, what we bring to the table for MSSQL users in particular is more options as well as better performance for some types of problems like high cardinality on time-series, for example: predicting inventory for all products in a database taking into account all previous inventory as well as say marketing data, building this in the R bindings would be quite a challenge, with mindsdb its a simple SQL statement
Are you not describing 'effect' here?

You, the observer, are seeing side effects of the program. You are a 'reader' of these effects. You ascribe 'meaning' to the transformation. The program itself is just a mechanism.

"But the meaning of the computation exists independent of the programmer."

But not outside of an external "observer". I assert that you still require another "mind" to read/note the "meaningful effects"

let's try r/meaning/effect:

"But the [effect] of the computation exists independent of the programmer. That is, the program doesn't require the existence of a human interpreter to be [effective]."

And that is perfectly reasonable and doesn't seem to nullify your further remarks regarding [processes] that preserve mutual information. And it is interesting and informative and we happen to in agreement.

My beef is with use of loaded words like "meaning". Your cite (Dennet) certainly doesn't shy away from a very expansive philosophical program:

"This biological re-grounding of much-debated concepts yields a bounty of insights into the nature of meaning and life."

That's borderline theological.

> We can further refine the concept by noticing that computations are revelatory

And this is interesting since I wanted to mention revelatory experiences in context of -zero- input/information. I'm sure you've must have had your share of epiphanies and bolts out of the blue insights.
