> The consoles would never allow them

They allow Fortnite[1], don't they? Or more recently Genshin Impact, which is a pure "gatcha" game - as "mobile" as it gets - and is probably doing very well[2] on PS4/5.

> In fact, reviewing the original list in question, the vast majority of names on it fall into the category of the two specific examples above. It's not a list of, say, primarily Asian names. Out of the 78 names listed on the last version we were able to recover, just 6 names appear to be Asian.

> So connecting this to the shootings in Atlanta, because the Asian victims of that atrocity had their names misspelled in news reports, is exactly the kind of linkage I'd like us to avoid when we analyze our mistakes together at work. It needlessly creates this extremely high-stakes environment where inappropriately making fun of a name like [customer name of nordic heritage] can be rendered as part of some larger narrative of colonialism and racism that it just does not merit.

Discussing the shootings in Atlanta is not work related.

Trying to connect the misspelling of the names of the victims in Atlanta to the name list and "some larger narrative of colonialism and racism" is something that doesn't belong in work.

Which brings us to:

> This was the second such discussion in a few months that had to be closed out following an acrimonious devolution that pitted employees against each other, and stressed these complicated power dynamics between managers and reports, all on a company-wide stage that invariably pulled everyone into the spectacle.

Arguing about colonialism and racism on company boards stemming from an act of violence that the company was not involved in in any way, shape, or form - that doesn't belong on company related discussion forms. Using the 'best name list' to try to make this linkage just makes things worse when HR is finally called in to say "cool it." It is not work related.

When HR is called in to say "cool it" repeatedly in more and more acrimonious subjects, it is the place for the leadership to do something to change the tone of discussions at work and put limits on what work related politics is.
If the property is to park money and with US real estate you can liquidate it very quickly for a cash sale, a tenant will throw a huge wrench in that.

A tenant in a single unit/house will easily drop the price by 10% or more from my experience trying to buy a single family home in SoCal in 2016.

As well, who can afford to rent these units? The mortgage/break-even point for for a $8mil value would be $37,825 a month.

Modified your script to use hexadecimal numbers. Also changed `sha256sum` to use `shasum`, which is what's available on vanilla (not "brewed") macOS.

#!/bin/bash

SHA=`echo -n "$hex puppies adopted me." | shasum -a 256 | egrep 8888`
if [ "$SHA" != "" ] ; then
echo "$SHA $hex puppies adopted me."

COUNT=`expr $COUNT + 1`

Obviously that is the case. It would be startling if adults chose careers in exactly even proportions, regardless of their gender, age, ethnicity, or whatever. BUT, based on human developmental theory and how people make decisions, no choice is truly random.

Therefore, there must be a reason for those choices.

Your theory offers no explanation other than random chance, from what I can tell. Identifying inputs and outcomes is sort of the point of solving problems.
I didn't mean to say that people will make NFTs for Fortnite skins (and I don't think that's what the other poster is saying either, but maybe I'm wrong).

Rather, people will probably make NFTs for art or social events or similar. The fact that people are buying essentially useless/decorative skins on Fortnite today is just evidence that such a market could be successful at all.
We shouldn’t moralize this. The point is that CEOs and board members are going to act exactly like anybody else in their position. Find a different structure if you want a different behavior.
The Bolivar was introduced in 1879. To its credit, it lasted until Black Friday in 1983 as the most stable and internationally accepted currency in all of South America. It's been mostly downhill since then, but 104 years is a decent run. None of us will be alive in 2112 to see what becomes of Bitcoin, if it even still exists then.

If an idea is reasonably feasible, I just assume someone, somewhere is already doing it.

The practical benefit is lowering my cognitive overhead, transaction costs.

Instead of guarding against every possible attack vector, I take basic precautionary measures, and then decide if any action is worth the risk, knowing full well it'll likely go terribly wrong.

So I always wear a mask, use a password wallet, drive just under the speed limit. Etc. It's habit, routine. Then when I step outside my personal safety bubble, it's an affirmative choice.
I’ve tried this with a few games, most notably perhaps Persona 3.

The problem is that I’m rarely playing just for the story and I end up feeling like I’m constantly managing the difficulty level. I want the game to lead me on a journey, with the right amount of challenge predetermined for me.

Imagine a world where the (signed) DNS response contains a root hash of the contents of the page you are visiting.

If the page is dynamic, not everything can be linked into that hash, but paired with CSP you can 100% guarantee that any code that executes is coming from a trusted source.

Then there's technologies like DNSLink for IPFS that obviate the need for this altogether, since the DNS response just contains the hash of what you want, and you ask IPFS for that hash, and anyone who's got it can deliver it to you.

You could be right. I've never seen a good comparison of services offered in one place or another. One other consideration is that I'd probably be doing a roth conversion ladder of my 401k so I'd owe state taxes there, but yes, it would be a fraction of my current income.
I love this kind of post.

While it's all very posh to scoff while saying "well, obviously!", the author has explained it, demonstrated it, documented it. It's not about proving something new, it's about sharing something neat with the world. It's also well written and emotes a bit of a fun in the telling.

I'm reminded of xkcd's "Ten Thousand" principle[0]: (Paraphrased) "For each thing that 'Everybody knows', every day there are, on average, 10,000 people in the US learning it for the first time". Good writing makes the experience better for those learning it for the first time today.

I can't wrap my head around environmentalists. If they really understand that anything we do perturbs the environment--and it does--, why are they not openly advocating for evacuating all humans from Earth as soon as possible and creating a full-planet environmental reserve?

I think you're just illustrating the point. It's okay to address issues with racial bias in SAT questions. Those things can still be racist (maybe not even intentionally so) and worth addressing despite there being worse racism somewhere else. We don't have to ignore that, it's not getting diluted because there are neo nazis that exist somewhere else.
Because many of these billionaires come from countries where their political systems are rife with corruption or otherwise unstable, and oftentimes they received their wealth through dubious means. This has been well documented for many residences on Billionaires Row in Manhattan, so much that laws have been passed preventing hiding identities through shell corps.

Buying real assets is seen as a way to protect their wealth when it is at risk of being confiscated or devalued by their home governments.

Another way to think about these apartments is similar to art. Billionaires spend obscene money on art, and they aren't renting out those paintings or really even looking at them very much.
You know what else damages society? Rape, murder, kidnapping, arson. Facial recognition software, used responsibly under a strict and throughly-audited regulatory scheme, can assist law enforcement in more quickly and reliably apprehending suspects in such cases. I see absolutely no reason why it shouldn’t be used, given the proper legal and regulatory framework.

I think since around 2008 with the rise of social media, so much of one's ego has been made public. More so than ever before. Its as if everyone is a public figure. Because of this, more people are incapable of accepting that they may be wrong, underinformed, or simply misinformed.

That depends. If we manage to move on to a next generation aircraft without getting into a conflict where it's needed then it can be seen as a success. You were able to do a massive amount of R&D and push the state of the art without the consequences of not having gotten it quite right and apply those lessons learned to the next generation. If we get into a conflict where it's needed and fails to meet the operational requirements than it's a failure. Only time will tell.

Seconded. I did consulting for monitoring systems, and doing remote stuff (via email or weird late night calls) was just less effective and shitty.

We got on a plane to Spain, brought some Spanish speaking folks, and crushed the issue in 3 days. Left us with 3 days to chill, and our Spanish counterparts were keen to show us around Madrid; several were locals and actually took us to see their old neighborhoods and families.

Point is, fixed the issue quick AND had added benefits of travel. As an accountant I'd not be keen on it, but as someone who has to live and work, these things are the spice of life.
Not sure why this is getting downvoted. It’s pretty much a view held by some factions of the military. Except a lot of the talk is about upgrading F-15s and A10s. We really don’t have a replacement for the A10 which is an incredible workhorse and almost universally loved for its close air support capability.

Unless it’s getting downvoted because the two things aren’t at odds. It would cost orders if magnitude less to just upgrade the A10s and others.
> Another is that women and men in the aggregate don’t choose the same careers in exactly even proportions.

That's not a theory, that's just restating the question! Why is the distribution the way it is, and should we make efforts to change it?

I think in a large mining pool this is still a possibility to attack the network with 20 Series Nvidia and Above / Equivalent Video Cards. Especially if gamers get together to attack the network, the pool can grow into the millions of users.
Except that I remember the left looking askance at those tactics. Decrying them as immoral and wrong and a bad thing. Yet when political and cultural power shifted to the left what happened? They did the same things. What this conveys to me is that there were never any principals or morals in play. It was all an exercise in power. Those without power posturing until it was their turn and then doing the exact same kind of things.

I think thats what secretly terrifies people the most about the equity types, the complete lack of belief that they believe anything they say. And that the ultimate result will be that some of those actors feel it's their turn to conduct what they say are injustices. That is how the wheel of history has almost always played out. It feels like a real lack of first principles when it comes to equity politics. Racism is bad, but racism we do is good. Oh what we do isn't racism because we changed the definition of racism to not include what we are doing at the moment. Oh we PROMISE we wont change it again when we have all the power. Pinky swear.

For games that I think are going to eat a lot of my time, I put them off until the end of the year where I have a lot of vacation time, it is fucking winter, and the fact that it is the holidays allows me to silence the "you should be doing instead" voice.

That goes out the window this year on 5/15 when the new Subnautica is released though.

I also enjoy playing old games though, so in order to silence that voice I stream those sessions, which somehow allows me to feel like it is a productive use of my time even though I have never made any money from it and among the least popular regular streamers in an already low-popularity category.

> lower stress, lose weight, keep active, get sleep, weightlifting is good, cardio is good but maybe not too much, IF may be good

It's annoying that these things seem like hand-wavy common sense advice for improving general health and not just raising T, but they are interrelated and helpful when it comes to boosting T.

Lowering stress reduces cortisol, which is catabolic. Your note about too much cardio plays in here as well. It increases cortisol and is also catabolic in its own right.
Lowering cortisol helps you lose weight and get better sleep.
Losing weight and intermittent fasting both improve insulin sensitivity.
Insulin sensitivity makes for better weightlifting gains.
Weightlifting increases T in its own right.

I've had good results with lifting heavy (3x 5-8 reps, 85% 1RM) in a fasted state around 11AM, followed by lunch and early dinner, maintaining a roughly 18/6 IF window.

I think you're sort of wrong here. Epic would likely be just fine with sideloading Fortnite and handling the distribution themselves (like they did with Android). What they're contesting is that only Apple is allowed to sell software on the phone, and in doing so also collects 30% of the cost. Apple could just get out of the way but chooses not to.
There's a difference between them telling what they think is the truth, and them actually knowing something and telling it. The whole "Havana Syndrome" thing might actually be them telling what they think is the truth (Russian/Cuban conspiracy to use secret weapons to give headaches to people), even though it's complete nonsense.

"All of the people on my team would prefer to be in the office 2 or 3 days a week" - I am just pointing out that if people feel like they are expected to be in the office at all, they are unlikely to say anything less than "2 or 3 days a week" regardless of how they feel.

Well... are they really itching to get back into the office, or just itching for day cares to open back up?
Showing just how unrepresentitive our electoral system is. The combined Tory/Brexit/DUP vote was about 43% in 2019, a minority.

Ashcroft and Ipsos confirm that older people were more likely to vote tory, with >50% only in the over 65 range.

If you're a HN poster you're likely in a workplace with

1) Under 45s, certainly under 65s

2) ABC1

3) University education

All of those are 3 indicators of low 'right wing' (defined as voting Tory or whatever Farage's party is) support, so it's not surprising most people in the workplace of the average HN poster vote not-tory.

Yes. The president of Brazil is now fighing a against a Comission in the brazilian senate that is revising all the work of lack of that the brazilian federal goverment put in the figth against Covid. This is now problably the moment of more political fragility he ever been,

Governors and mayors tired of waiting for the federal goverment that is still dennying the gravity of the situation, formed a group to import vacines by themselves. The problem is that there's no vacins avaliable in the market because there still a lot of nations that got first in the line, and production is still not enougth. The alternative that they got was coaxin that was rejected, and the russian vacine, that have thisconfidence problems that led to it being reject.
It’s funny to me that we’ve sort of ended up back where I started with Browserify and a seperate Less compile step, or even further back with require.js in some ways.

It’s smart though. Despite having built webpack plugins myself, my main gripe with it was how overloaded it became.
Of course it can't, but the F-35 was meant to replace the A-10, as well as a host of other fighters (F-16, F-15, F-18, Harrier, and probably more). But with stealth.

Some standardisation in fighter design doesn't sound like a bad idea at all, and you can certainly question why you'd need all three of the F-15, F-16 and F-18. But also the A-10 and the Harrier? Those are very different planes with very different roles. I think cramming those two requirements in there is what sunk the F-35. There's no way to make one fighter do all of that and do it well.

Apple has a stranglehold on their ecosystem just like Blackberry did. They could easily require any new vendor to integrate into their own messaging app, or require apps to use a unified messaging framework which their app could pull from. They could kick out any app that didn't play by their rules.

The reasons for not doing this are almost assuredly either legal or business conflicts, or clinging to ideals like the screen wouldn't be as pretty. There is no technical hurdle.
No, you choose to interpret it as such. Maybe it was only women who applied or a man would be utterly useless in the job for physical reasons or . . .

Of course you can put a gloss on anything someone says but that doesn't mean it's necessarily a substantive contribution to the actual circumstances which apply for that time and place.
