That's what the program essentially is, it's free to signup as a developer, $99 if you want to distribute and then they do a BSN check etc. to verify you.

There is just isn't a "free and can distribute apps" tier. If you want to put an app in the store you need to get verified.
Prodigy spoke ppp, was reasonably priced, and still had news access in 99/00 and a good feed at that. At some point they underwent a series of mergers/sell-ofs/rebrands until Yahoo owned them. I think their nntp servers still worked when I switched to cable internet in around 03.

Prodigy offering $400 off a $399 computer at Best Buy if you signed up for a 3 year service agreement was why I had my first modern computer.
Looks like they were giving away the first two games (which are quite old) to promote the newest game (which just got a new version built around raytracing).
Main problem was that it was hard to get time on our CM2 to run jobs. You had to sign up in advance and it was a nuisance. Also debugging the parallel version of C for the CM2, called C* was pretty hard to debug as well.
Does The Internet route around damage? – Edition 2021
I am so glad that Stadia is floundering, if not failing. It's one of the worst things I've seen in the industry for consumers regarding consumer rights and freedom, and it's any publisher's wet dream. Imagine a platform where users can't mod in their own content or modify (or even improve) the experience in any way. They can go nuts with DLC and microtransactions. They can ensure we only get the experience they decide on. It's a nightmare for consumers and I hope it never gets off the ground.
> That was the point where I realized the strength of diamonds product branding.

Here's another interesting twist that further shows how powerful branding and marketing really are: Spence Diamonds is a diamond retailer in Canada that advertises extremely aggressively via radio ads. A few years ago, it started a huge campaign for lab grown diamonds, portraying them with adjectives such as "artisan-made" (going as far as comparing them to Michelangelo art). And what do you know:

> While still offering mined diamonds, Spence has found that when its customers are given a choice, 80% of them choose lab-growns over mined diamonds[0]

I have an utterly ridiculous name that has been made fun of my whole life.

If you think this is a path to genocide then you are just fucking dumb.
Did you miss the part where she gas-lit him? She agreed with all the points about moissanite/etc and then got bent out of shape when he took her at her word. Clearly all that was a "test" that he was supposed to "pass". I rarely see happy marriages with that kind of behavior as a baseline. God forbid he get her Carnations and a nice dinner for Valentine's day, she'll likely ignore the dinner and focus on why he didn't get her roses instead.

It's also a weird interpretation. My response would have been something like "moissanite has better visual properties, is free of all slave/conflict concerns, and saves us money for the honeymoon, so our love shines brighter, is built on a pure foundation, and will give us experiences we'll never forget".

More over it's extremely materialistic. Someone who loves you is pledging their life to you. Assuming the ring in question is fundamentally tasteful, is it too much to ask to focus on the life pledge instead of the $$ value of the symbol?

But I guess I lucked out. My wife rarely takes off her vintage ring with syntehtic rubies and a couple of tiny real accent diamonds on yellow gold (because that's what it came with). I knew her aesthetic tastes and got her something that matched those tastes, and it's unique enough that it stands out amongst her sisters/friends. And it certainly wasn't two months' salary, which she well knows. We didn't have that amount in savings at the time.
You posted your opinion, a very broad statement suggesting it was bad for certain people to believe something.

They countered your opinion with their own, stating your opinion was ignorant and offered an example as to why.

This is a discussion forum, but you sure seem to have a problem with sometime attempting to respond to you. Do you not see the irony?
In my experience, it's indistinguishible from local play.

On average I get a single noticeable slowdown event every 3 sessions, so for me it's worth it

It depends on what you mean. There is no significant linguistic overlap. There are some exceptions such as if you live near the language border. But last names ending up in the other side of the country is not that uncommon, people move around and some end up getting kids there.
I am worried most about how our system pushes efficiency to the detriment of resiliency.

Businesses use just in time inventory to increase efficiency, but that means a small disruption anywhere in the supply chain can grind everything to a halt.

Also, instead of maintaining cash savings, businesses will rely on cheap credit. However, if enough businesses do that, any type of credit crunch results in widespread economic disaster.

Often business efficiency is a way to privatize the gains from efficiency, but but have the public bear the losses from lack of resilience.

Just like banks are required to keep a reserve (which is inefficient in some sense), I think some type of regulation or increasing the personal moral hazard for business leaders is required to make sure businesses don’t sacrifice resiliency for too much efficiency (and the profits of efficiency).
In The Netherlands it is more like our IC beds.

I have a theory that this is why MS treats its research division staff and interns so well. It reduces the amount of competitive pressure MS would face if they were all working elsewhere/on their own startups.
Value Creation from Uniswap V2
>So the usual linked list gets appended a few times is close to optimal, iteration has the same cost as in lower level languages with pointer chasing (usually a bit more because objects usually have headers that take quite some space, less of them potentially fitting into cache). It even has some advantage in that a modern compacting GC may move the objects close to each other.

I wonder why array-backed linked lists aren't more of a thing. I've used those before in C in hobby projects. You allocate an extendable array of nodes and the nodes next and/or prev pointers become indices in the array (although pointers would still work). Added nodes go on the end, deleted nodes stay where they are and just aren't referenced. If there is high churn, do something to keep track of inactive nodes to fill next. You're still spamming around an area of memory when iterating the list, but it's at least confined to one guaranteed contiguous block and you're only allocating to extend the array and not doing a lot of allocating and freeing of memory. You still have the memory overhead of the next/previous indices, though, so fewer nodes fit in cache than otherwise would.
Yes PVM would have been great had it been available but as I recall, it came out later, in the mid 90s.
Facebook: "Our business model is to provide free access to our platform in exchange for collecting data so that we can sell a marketing platform instead of charging users directly. If we can't collect that data, that business model doesn't work."

The internet: "Facebook is threatening to charge their users for access unless you give them data."
The effect I think it has is to reduce the number of spam accounts from the 120K that Android has. I did not think it eliminated fraud on iOS.

It needs to be up-voted that this is satire and not a real post from a 2001 concerned parent. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adequacy.org#Notable_stories
An excellent point! But that is something that a billionaire may do. And often the answer to that is government action - see how often a government will actually take said action. It is something the government by its very nature will do, and there is no counterbalancing force.

The immediate rebuttal that comes to mind is that the government does not dismantle the billionaire's monopolistic scheme because of regulatory capture, and because the billionaire has effectively suborned the government. If you are about to make that argument, I suggest you introspect a little, as you would only be making my point; the "representative government" is not spending its resources according to the will of the people in any case.
In reverse, I wonder how well known Irish and British slang is in the USA: “Bumming” can mean to obtain or make use of something that belongs to someone else by begging; “fag” can mean cigarette; “for the craic” (“craic” pronounced “crack”) is “for fun”.

(And thanks to the very early part of my mother’s Alzheimer’s, I also know that an archaic meaning of “glory hole” is a cupboard for miscellaneous items, and the etymology of the sexual reference is that both are where you put your “junk”).

A "religion" field in government documents is fairly common. In many countries, some tax revenues are given to religious institutions proportional to the number of citizens that belong to that religion.
These are examples of YouTube following copyright laws imperfectly, which is basically guaranteed to happen on a regular basis at their scale. Definitely not what I would consider YouTube redefining copyright.
Yeah, this is the version I remember also. PB has said many times that he built the first version that could only display threads of his own email in a day. But going from a series of raw email messages to an email thread that can be displayed conversationally on the web is a multi-year project, so clearly there was some already existing code doing the heavy lifting.

E.g. the email parsing code in Thunderbird dates back to at least the late 80s, and even after decades of working on it at a cost of hundreds of millions of dollars, it's still a work in progress.
Node.js – v16.1.0
There's a significant overlap in naming and there's a lot of professional language contact. But culturally and politically, the linguistic communities are divided.
I hear this from time to time, but how many people are actually choosing not to use GCP for that reason? Yes, Google keeps killing consumer products (Hangouts is reportedly getting the axe…), but Google Cloud seems to have a much more stable set of services, especially when you look at the core. Things like App Engine have been around forever.

Surely Google treats their B2B products and B2C products differently, no?
Are they already pulling out the rug? Seems like the investment they made so far in terms of time, money, hiring must have been massive.

If they are killing stadia, that does maybe show that Google lacks "grit". The way they killed Google Plus was kind of stupid. They could have adjusted the formula and made it better, but instead they just gave up on it, it seems. It's like Google doesn't understand that it's normal not to have instant success? Maybe they should make a more active decision that here is a market segment they want to enter, and keep working at it, instead of just trying random things and giving up.

2020 was Stadia's best chance due to lockdown and GPU/console shortages and yet it's not doing very well. For a company that is known for shutting down services I don't understand why they went with a model that would cause all your games to disappear if they closed down Stadia. I think they would have stood a much better chance if they had used the GeForce Now model of your purchase just being a standard PC game or if they had gone with the Game Pass model where the games are part of the subscription.
"We plan to make a significant carbon offset to mitigate the environmental impact of this NFT. Within one week of the closing of this auction we will update this page with details of the steps we took."

Every action we take has tradeoffs. Everyone acts hoping that they can bring more good to the world than bad. Thats not to say we shouldn't be critical of decisions people make, but the moral panic around nfts is overblown imo. There are solutions being worked on [1] and the upside to addressing coordination problems[2] is huge.

Or, as the saying goes, "Don't throw the baby out with the bathwater"

I'm still developing software. Asian countries outsource a lot of their telecom eng to open source developers who loved working on telecommunications back before it was marked for deletion in the West, but we keep writing the open source code and posting it online since we enjoy it. I wouldn't be surprised if they had even found a way to repackage it as an opaque blob and sell it back to European telecoms at a profit, since those companies either won't or wouldn't be able to afford hiring someone.
Since I agree with you and don't have a new point to make, I just want to expand on yours.

Consoles - Apple doesn't compete here. Microsoft is competitive.

Smartphones / tables - Microsoft lost here, Apple competes against Google and various hardware makers instead. They probably win in US market share and net profits, but not global share.

Computers / operating systems - Microsoft still dominates in market share over Apple. Opinions vary (strongly) between which is best, but more people buy computers with Windows than computers made by Apple.

Watches, air tags, etc. - Microsoft doesn't compete here.

Accessories - no clue about market share, but I do think Microsoft makes some pretty good keyboards and mice.
That's a dangerous mindset. I know too many people who can't wait to get into more debt, then complain when they can't afford things. I'm thinking of specific people that have more expensive versions of everything I own, while making less money than me, then saying "it must be nice" when they see me go on vacation or go out to dinner without considering the cost.

Plus I think you're being a bit unfair about his first date comment. It seemed like it was more of a quip to explain his position, than an actual plan
"Can be" != commercially viable.
>HN is famous for knee-jerk dismissals of tech and companies that then go on to become wildly successful:

It is extra funny to find this comment considering the top comment in this thread. Someone makes a good looking, simple, and useful app and the top comment is nothing about the work put in, the quality of the app, potential improvements, or anything like that. Instead it is a knee-jerk dismissal of "you’re going to get sued" and "hope you’ve got a lawyer." The more things change...
I'm assuming that this is obviously satire. Looking at some of the comments on HN tho, it makes me feel like it might not be. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
Rude and fake polite are not the only two choices. We should try for genuine politeness and charity.

Strange how this "fraud" isn't being pursued by the relevant authorities though, you'd think they'd be all over this... if it was actually fraud.

You're short TSLA, we get it.
Losing entire batches of your product on a regular basis is pretty bad for a commercial product
Its a nice addition to social networks of different but a bit risky privacy wise. But at least where I'm located, its only high quality jobs since low quality ones are dominating in other platforms specifically for recurring. But content wise, its just a pit of marketing materials and time wasters like elsewhere. (well, excluding the ease of accessing and participating in online conferences)
That's what happens when there's a flood of venture capital money whose intention with its investment is to see a specific return on capital on a specific investment horizon.
It’s not a conspiracy theory. We’re already seeing the groundwork laid for a vaccine pandemic passport. We’re seeing that we will all be required to get yearly boosters for Covid vaccine. We’re seeing more people push for greater power to impose lockdowns at the drop of a hat during the next pandemic. Vice Admiral Faucci said we’re never going back to normal. The powers that be have ordained a perpetual state of control for a disease that is manageable given a vitamin pack.
GeForce Now has shown that when you depend on existing launchers like Steam, your service's library is can change based on the whims of 3rd parties
I'm watching a YouTube video in Safari right now being served via VP9 (Verified under "Stats for nerds").

Heck, even the M1 supports VP9 in hardware up to 8K60.

I'm not sure where you got that macOS has no VP9 support, it works quite well.
The biggest difference (and problem for Stadia) was that you have to buy Stadia games as “Stadia games”. You cannot transfer them out, they are locked into a platform run by a company which is famous for shutting services down rather often. Why would anyone choose Stadia then?

The nice thing about Geforce Now is that you can just run your already bought games on it. Just connect your account to Steam/Epic and you are good to go.
You are just renting their hardware essentially.
I find it remarkable that conventional expert systems didn't succeed at that. It seems like a straightforward application. If you have symptoms X, Y, and Z, then it could be P, Q, or R, so run tests T1 and T2.

Obviously I'm not a doctor and can only assume that this is like somebody telling me "Debugging is easy, you just set a breakpoint..." But I'd be curious to know more about why this approach failed.
I wonder if the fantasy epic will be more commercial than his previous book, Jersusulem, which seemed to often be going for a Moby Dick style of dry descriptive prose. He obviously can write in a commercial style if he wants, given his enormous commercial successes in comics.
Kinda tried. Might give a chance to its OSS alternative just to support the competitor.
That was common with Forth. Limit? (2^16)-1. If you need something bigger, declare a long number on your own.
Input lag while streaming is not that bad on a good connection. It won’t work for online FPS games (at least not if you want to win), but for slower FPS, RPGs, etc, it’s ok. This is based on my experience with Geforce Now, I haven’t tried Stadia.

As for the business model though, you’re totally right. No way I’m going to buy a game and be locked into Stadia. Not only would I be prevented from playing locally, who knows how long Stadia will be around at this rate?
I love the MNT Reform and almost placed an order, but now I’m sort-of glad I decided not to. I’m not sure I can justify spending over $1k for a machine that struggles to run the Grammarly browser extension.

Sometimes it's just easier to keep the mask on when walking between places. Personally, I have longish hair so it's kind of a pain to don/doff if I'm out and about. So I'll wear it in the car sometimes.

Seems like a lot of folks assume intent in people's actions, maybe because it's easier to make fun of others or push a certain narrative. No, I don't think Covid is going to get me in my car or when I'm walking outside away from people—I'd just rather keep my mask on because it's annoying to fiddle with.
