I have spent many years of my life playing GTA. Starting from GTA1 all the way to GTA5. Definitely a generation defining series. Are they ever going to release GTA6?

RIP. Thanks for all the entertainment and joy you have brought me and my friends.
Yes, and if you use the C abi to dynamically link rust code, you will have exactly the same problem as c: you can't change the layout of your structures without breaking compatibility, unless you use indirecting wrappers.
Obviously he and his mother has already paid for in taxes, zero cost here is in the sense that the cost is not going to eat into their current savings.
While in the US you paid taxes and can still potentially go bankrupt if you have major diseases.
> Omni is a completely different blockchain than BTC.

Complete nonsense.

a) https://www.omnilayer.org/ - it says "Built in top of the Bitcoin Blockchain" right there on the home page

b) Usually a separate database with an index of overlay transactions is created to enable faster and easier access to overlay transactions in Bitcoin blocks

Saw an interview a couple of days ago here on French television with the journalist who published a book about it recently. Lying to the public was baked into the test explosion right from the beginning. That is as much part of the trade as firing guns.
RethinkDB could have been a huge player along with the likes of MongoDB

MongoDB is a weird one because what they had didn't even meet the most basic requirements of "a database", that you could store something in it and reliably get it back out. But they somehow converted their joke of a product into enough money to buy WiredTiger, rebrand its product as theirs, and profit. It's the ultimate expression of "fake it 'til you make it" and they did it by giving away stickers at conferences!

The best technology and product doesn't always win.

Once you realise what we do is not engineering, it's fashion, it will all make sense.
+1 on that. It's a really beautiful font, and I'd love to make it my new default. ...but I'd never pay for a font on a per-user basis.
This article seems to miss one important point: how to ensure that links are added correctly and enough). In the wiki scheme, when you just dump info about a problem on a page, how do you now find pages where you need to link to this new page? If you solve this, you have just solved the main problem with the tree system. And I believe that it's actually easier to find related places in the tree-ish structure, than if there is seemingly infinite amount of free-floating articles.

And Wikipedia has a tree-ish structure too, after all - look at portals, categories etc
Yeah, watch out for Brain Aneurysm if you have high blood pressure. Internal pluming related death is probably the leading cause of early death at that age. Don't clog your pipes people! Don't sit at the computer for too long either. You can get blood clots in your legs. Take care of your heart. Go for a walk everyday

Yes, the EU has high standards and differs from the US mainly on minor details.

Standards (or lack thereof) in much of Asia/Africa/S.America are on a whole different planet.

I guess my point is, not being approved for sale in the US doesn’t mean the car is shockingly different than many other cars in the rest of the world. You can find unsafe cars that would be illegal to sell in the US that say “Nissan” or “VW” on them just over the border in Mexico.

Every manufacturer builds cars to meet the specific requirements and needs for a market. In many countries, the requirements are low and the #1 priority is cheap.
They're almost certainly using LiFePO4 chemistry, which tends to be pretty good for safety.
Also, making a new car, even an electric one, takes a huge amount of resources.

"Producing a medium-sized new car costing £24,000 may generate more than 17 tonnes of CO2e – almost as much as three years' worth of gas and electricity in the typical UK home."[0]

Commuting nowadays is broken. People commuting by car are hauling around 4 or more empty seats at 30 km/h along a highway full of other people doing the same, going into the same cities often into the same office districs. We could get rid of a lot of cars if we didn't drive around 4 empty seats and filled just one.

Or if we lived closer to where we worked but that's seems like a more complex problem.
I'm surprised there aren't a ton of NFTs for videos of people digging holes and filling them up, riffing on both "proof of work" and keynesian ideas.
The other extreme to "move fast and break things" is "get extremely attached to your old ways". I don't think either is healthy. I'm sure that limiting software to only perfect diamonds of speed and security would raise barrier to entry enough that we would have missed out on some brilliant but inefficient ideas.

Where the healthy middle point lies is something I don't know.
Not at all. You can hash a document that contains the rights to IPFS and embed that file hash on the NFT itself. I can imagine in the future we will see license agreements similar to how open source software has MIT, Apache, GNU, etc delineated by a LICENSE.md file in the root directory of the repo. It removes all ambiguity. It's even defensible in court.

The burned Banksy also had a digital representation attached to the NFT. The Jack Dorsey tweet was sold by the man himself. He verified it on his own social network. In that sense the Jack Dorsey NFT is as good as an autographed Babe Ruth baseball.
That which is irreplaceable, I'd conjecture.
For art, never, it doesn't make sense. For other use case like owning a piece of virtual land, the game server could perform that verification to configure which game-world privileges the user has. Multiple independent applications can be built on top of the same virtual land layer, enforcing the underlying ownership contracts, this can't be done with traditional virtual environments. Same for membership NFT, you could "prove" to one organization that you are a member of another organization.
Humans have been humans for a lot longer than that!
Apologies, I meant in the context of consumer automotive.
Bespoke good design exists. It's a niche, and rarely survives mass production if has moving parts or requires close tolerances, and unused features are whittled away.

The original openwrt targeted a design of home router which was hackable. The first thing the v2 did was shrink the memory and run a simpler OS: it became less hackable, because the bill of materials shaved 15c off manufacturing costs and hackability was not in the design goal spec.

Bauhaus design was awesome because it was applicable to mass production. But, if you look at modern derivative they aren't quite as good. Same with eames chair, and I guess, this kettle: it's not innately profitable to have a satisfying click when the lid shuts, at 2x the unit cost to make unless it's 10x the unit cost to sell
> my understanding is that the distinction of sex and gender is essential to the concept of transgender in the first place.

That... depends? I mean, consider that "male" and "female" (as buckets people are assigned to at birth) do a pretty bad job of describing actual biology in many cases, often with harmful results. And that's before we even get to the topic of gender identity! You can be a trans woman while you still have a penis, because being trans isn't just about having surgery. (Consider that the term "transsexual" has fallen out of favor, in part because "transgender" covers the idea that your birth-assigned sex or biological features don't always accurately describe your identity.)

Anyway, consider what the parent originally said:

> > I was banned from r/asktransgender for telling a girl in a relationship with a pre-transition MtF person that it doesn’t make sense to call herself a lesbian (since sexual orientation is based on sex and not gender)

That's.. just not correct at all. Who was the parent to decide that "lesbian" = "biological female in relationship with biological female"? If someone identifies as female and is in a relationship with someone who identifies as female, they are perfectly justified in calling themselves lesbians, regardless of what reproductive parts or hormonal levels they have. Disagreeing with that is just meaningless, because this is how the word "lesbian" is used in the real world, and fighting against reality is generally not a winning move.

> Is insisting (perhaps somewhat pedantically) on using those terms in a consistent fashion really an offense?

If you're someone who's tired of outsiders telling you how you're supposed to describe yourself, yes, it probably is an offense. It's even worse when said outsider doesn't know what they're talking about and is insisting upon something that's incorrect.

> Now, they are free to exclude people for whatever reason they want.

I don't know why the parent got banned, of course. It could have been because they offended people, or it could have simply been because they were being an annoying pedantic (incorrect!) language lawyer who was sucking the life out of discussions. Either, in my mind, is a valid reason for a ban.

> But the statement does not strike me as obviously offensive to trans people (I've even seen them make the same distinction)

"Trans people" is not a monolithic block of people all with the same attitudes and tolerances. One trans person may not be bothered by it (though I would hope they'd be bothered by the parent's statement, since it's incorrect), but another may be. That's just life. And regardless, it doesn't matter if it strikes you or me as offensive to trans people, unless we're trans people. (I'm not, and I assume based on how you've framed this discussion that you aren't either.) It only matters if actual trans people are offended, and perhaps some number of them were. And if you are a trans person, I would hope that you'd agree that you probably don't speak for all trans people.
You mean a person who sunk a lot of money into it and has a vested interest in having other people think it has a lot of value thinks it has a lot of value?

Holy shit.
Very strange about the Twitter lists. You are, of course, correct Twitter is not the best place to compile; it's just a way to follow multiple search engines/services there. I have a spreadsheet which forms the basis of the graph shown on Search Engine Map so we should surface that.
I wonder how much horsepower you can get out of 50cc if you max it out with all the *chargers. Sounds like a cool opportunity for regulatory arbitrage.
No, it's not. It's even more of a concern in digital art because until blockchains came around, it was virtually free to make a perfect digital copy of something.
If someone feels like making what they see as a positive impact by making a lifestyle choice.

What's the point in saying: "But you do some unrelated thing???"

Is the argument that there's no point in making a small difference, it's only worth it if you're 100% ideologically pure?

Because I don't see where road deaths and microplastics in local rivers come into owning a computer.
It depends how efficient the car is and how efficient the solar panels are.

>> Miners don’t dictate protocol rules. Miners do one job - hash blocks. And they get rewarded for it.

What? Not really.
Miners do indeed dictate the protocol rules, its is the miners agreeing to following a certain version of the consensus algorithm that makes a blockchain do what it does. So they are partly responsible for more than just mining blocks. Like I said initially it is hard to say who the actual decision makers of the chain are because it is not defined properly by eth.

>>Miners are only one participant in the ecosystem, there are also users, merchants and developers.

Like I mentioned in my previous comment, my whole disagreement with the OP of this comment chain is, their analogy calling miners bodyguards only, my argument is that its hard to tell, because anyone can play any role in this network, on eth the incentives are set up in such a way that each actor can be multiple actors, and there isn't any clear distinction as to who gets to decide what on the network.

>>If you justify such change by “majority of miners want it” - you’re basically handing over the protocol to their hands. Nothing will prevent miners to adopt changes that eventually centralize currency control, increase rewards(inflation), etc.

I am not trying to justify it as majority miners want it, my criticism of the eth chain is they have done this sort of nonese in the past (remember the DAO hack where vitalik and co decided to serve their own interests and rolled back a blockchain? )

It clearly shows eth hasn't grown or come up with a solution as to how to govern their blockchain in a decentralized manner. At the moment, a small select group of people, rather than the majority of its stakeholders get to decide what happens to the blockchain, and that to me doesn't look like decentralization.

Whats to stop a powerful government forcing vitalik and co to implement or remove what they want in the future?
The universe is finite so no Turing complete computing devices can ever exist.

Ethereum has a Turing complete language that is only limited in practice by external constraints like the gas limit. Bitcoin doesn't have such a language.
> be dumb enough to think it has value?

It's only dumb until they can find someone even dumber to buy it for even more. Then it's genius.

Not at all. All of MongoDB is just a feature in Postgres, and Postgres does it better, and Postgres does hundreds more things too.
All I can guess is that the only point of this piece is "follow me on ...", which generous offer I will inexplicably decline.
> I start with this - every person working in your hospital or clinic has no incentive whatsoever for you to emerge healthier. The only goal is to maximize the ratio between the amount your insurance is willing to pay, and the amount of care that is provided.

This is the gist of American healthcare.

A good read from someone who had a medical crisis, from a series of medical errors, is "Our Malady" by Timothy Snyder. He took great notes in his personal diary when the whole ordeal occurred and was able to trace back the errors, unlike most people. He also nearly died. He is a renowned American historian who is a scholar of European history, and particularly of eastern European history.

Anyways, the third leading cause of death in the US is believed to be preventable medical errors (you can also google "3rd leading cause of death preventable medical errors" and find other sources which corroborate the findings of this peer-reviewed journal article): https://www.bmj.com/content/353/bmj.i2139

When it comes to longevity of the human lifespan, as in life expectancy, by country, the US is about to soon mirror Croatia (I am a dual US|EU [Croatian] citizen). You know, that war-torn eastern European country that went through a nasty war in the 90s. Anyways, I am proud of my country, I mean Croatia. But, as Americans, we should be ashamed.

U.S. life expectancy will soon be on par with Mexico’s and the Czech Republic’s: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/to-your-health/wp/2017/0...

(non-paywalled version: https://archive.md/3EpBi)

Anyways, there are countries with national health insurance ("socialized medicine") and there are also countries that have universal health insurance coverage (guaranteed issue health insurance, which you are required to have under law).

From an access perspective Germany is very similar to the US, and has universal health insurance coverage. Switzerland has a system closer to what we have in the US, with respect to both access and privitization, and they do not seem to be having the problems that we have in the American healthcare system.

Just some food for thought...
Having the words everywhere would take away some fun, because the solution space would become severely constrained. Like with those DI|NS|OM expressions or that (...?)* line.
1,500 for a drivers license?? I had no idea. It cost me about $30 USD to get my first license in Alabama. Washington state does taxation differently so I think it was about $120. You learn something new every day!

This article confuses some things.

Struwelpeter is not fairy tales by any definition. It is a hilarious and gruesome picture-book with small moralistic verses intended to teach children good manners. It is an original work, written and illustrated by Heinrich Hoffmann.

Grimms fairy tales are folk tales collected by the brothers Grimm as anthropological research. We don't know the original authors of these stories. It was an orally transmitted genre, and many stories exist in multiple versions. This genre of folktales were not originally intended for children, but at the time of the collection there was a boom in children's literature, and the Grimms cached in on that by publishing modified versions for children.

There are other collections of folktales beside the Grimms, for example the french Charles Perrault. Disneys Cinderella for example is based on the Perrault version, not the Grimm version. I'm not sure what the "English translation" in the article refers to?

Hans Christian Andersen wrote original stories, although to some extent inspired by folktales, they are a very different genre of literature.

No, I don't think you're missing anything. I had the same question, and midway through typing it realized that it's really all about verifying that the person who signed your NFT was in fact the artist that created it.
When we talk about support for threading/concurrent programming in programming languages, it is less about how to reach the theoretical limits of your system best, especially if you are free to architect the whole software stack towards that goal. In that case, your statements might apply.

It is about how easily a programmer, who deals with a certain subtask in a system, can utilize more cores for the this task. Not talking about supercomputing, but looking at a smarktphone or a typical PC. There you usually have most cores just idle unused, but if the user triggers an action, you want to be able to use as many cores as it speeds up computation. Language support for parallelism makes a huge difference there. In Go I can write a function to do a certain computation and quite often it is trivial to spread several calls across goroutines.
a non-turing complete language can still be useful and "expressive" in a loose sense.

SPARK[0] isn't Turing complete but it's still pretty useful, and likely a better language than Solidity.

Electric cars are even worse: they typically don't achieve carbon parity with same-class ICE until about 70,000km.

This was discussed recently here on HN, I'll try to find the conversation.

Edit: here's the conversation, with link to source:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24716921

It's about 50,000 to 112,00km depending on the source of electricity used to charge the electric car.
Is it like a bunch of wires?
Seatbelts saved a bunch of lives by preventing occupants from getting flung out the car, so I’d imagine that being in the car is safer.

Current road death trends in the US indicate that people inside cars are dying less, but people outside of them are dying more, notably cyclists and pedestrians.
Copyright violations would continue to be illegal. I am not proposing that they be legalized (though copyright law could use several reforms as well). I am proposing that for instance Google ought to be required to license Widevine to anyone who wants to build an implementation for it.

Because Widevine is so widespread and acts as a gatekeeper for content (for example Netflix), if Google doesn't bless your platform with Widevine support you're essentially dead as a consumer media platform.

Google should not have this kind of power because competition is good.
This is not about the immutability of the chain. You can create various collection contracts on top of the Ethereum blockchain, independent from each other. If you want to verify that I'm in fact the owner of the Nyan cat NFT you need to first decide which contract hosts the "true" Nyan cat NFT.
Just read Vitalik's note and - interestingly enough - there isn't a single word about the potential damage to the miners, only how they could attack the proposal.

In other words, he's simply considering them an enemy when they've in fact been investing blood and treasure for the past 8 years supporting his brainchild.

People may call him a genius, but when they do, they're clearly not talking about his empathy abilities and leadership skills.
The 1% Is 1.5 millions iff the 100% is 150 millions, which is what population exactly?
Gordon Hall worked specifically on the mobile versions of GTA (like Chinatown wars) not the other canonical episodes in the series. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grand_Theft_Auto:_Chinatown_Wa...)

The original GTA was from by David Jones and Mike Dailly, and the series were led by Rockstar North (ex-DMA design), not Rockstar Leeds.
They've been investing money to make money. They're running a business, not a charity. Changes like these are part of the process of improvement, this is exactly what they signed up for.
Even with static linking, Rust produces separate compilation units a least at the crate level (and depending on compiler settings, within crates). You won't get LTO between crates if you don't explicitly request it. It does allow inlining across compilation units without LTO, but only for functions explicitly marked as `#[inline]`.
Summers did, read his exact words. He's not only talking about gender balance in science but about top performers specifically.

Also now that you mention it, there are mean level differences at a young age in interests (people vs things), which is also a plausible explanation for gender disparity in STEM, whether that difference is genetic or cultural or both.
Those cars were popular (especially with women) because you didn’t have to hand-crank them.

Because of that it has been said that what made gasoline cars take over was the invention of the electric starter for gasoline cars.
I don’t think there’s enough liquidity in your system. Let’s say I think everyone should own a house. I then go ahead and help build a house for you. I would expect many others to have the same belief and build a house for me.

If at any time people decide they no longer believe in home ownership, then the house I built for you had no value since no one will build my home when it’s my turn.

This wouldn’t be a problem if you just paid me cash since it stores value.
They're going slower so it will be ok.
> they've in fact been investing blood and treasure

They have made a tremendous amount of money by investing in his "brainchild". How are they victims?
Yeah, if you have a rare disease, which 7-8% of the general population collectively has (there are about 8,000 or so rare diseases), for example, then you are totally screwed if you have an HMO. Rare diseases are difficult to treat, frequently involve multiple systems of the body, often require many off-label non-FDA approved treatments, and require specialists that are often in niche fields of medicine.
