> All of this is because women control the market.

Yeah, I'm sure every dating apps' CEO and other important positions are held by women...

> In the US

There you are, at least read what I was writing. You know there are other countries than one that is predominantly white from its inception?

> Because you consider me pointing out how racist/sexist women can be as misogynistic

No. There is a difference between being racist and not being attracted to someone from another race. And your conclusion of some women being racist is in no way in disagreement with what I say. But you've been saying that all women are racist, which is not true.

> Asian women raised in the US

raised in the US, maybe that has to do something with it??

> Again I even mentioned how women admit to finding ethnic men attractive but still won't date them

SOME. They are racist, or has parents that would disown them if they would have an interracial relationship, or other reasons.

And thank you for your kind remarks, that's a great way to emphasize your points...

EDIT: I do apologize if I upset you, it was not my intention at all. I just feel that in your reasoning you are thinking of an object instead of another human being. Unfortunately, even if the other's choice is due to some evil reason, like blatant racism, it is only their choice who they want to date with and you can't do anything at all with it at this level. But as I noted earlier: more and more interracial couples, even at first surface-level things like more attention to diverse casts in movies will slowly make it more acceptable at a societal level. Of course there will always be racist people, but exactly the societal-pressure-free choice of women will let go of the old stigmas.
I have to agree with you. You cannot sue a state government just because you got in an accident in the middle of a snowstorm because you were driving too fast for the weather and lost control of the car, even though the speed limit signs might permit you to drive that speed. There has to be a reasonable assumption call here, and no reasonable person can say that going that kind of speed on a residential roadway is reasonable. In addition, there is a reasonable suspicion that this kid may have been driving the car illegally if he was 17 and just with his friends.

If Jason Davis was driving under an instruction permit, he did not have anyone in the car to legally supervise him under Wisconsin law. If he was driving under a probationary license there was a possibility he was driving legally if he was past the 9 month requirement without it being extended, but if he was still in the initial 9 month period he had more passengers in the car than he was legally allowed to have. It is possible for him to have been outside the probationary period of the probationary drivers license, but that would require him to get his license some time between Jan and March of 2016 and then immediately get his probationary 6 months after that with all the requirements entailed, and I find that unlikely.

This seems to me to be a series of bad decisions made both by the teenager behind the wheel, and the parents for letting him do so.
I choose not to trust documentation when a company shits all over everything we know about building reliable safety systems. To be blunt, if they're dumb enough to think this is a good idea, they're too dumb to make safety equipment. This is an awful idea and it's impossible to defend with any kind of integrity.
No - my point is that some posters in this thread overestimate the monetization potential of exposure. Ultimately, it doesn't matter if the project is for profit or pro bono - either way you commit to unpaid work.
Volunteering doesn't only have to be about a good cause, it can also be for your own professional benefit. However, you should be sceptical about the exposure potential of such a gig.
The main drawbacks are that you are likely not the only volunteer in the project and that it's often pretty clear you weren't hired for exceptional talent (in the case of the Netflix show a potential customer can do a quick web search and learn that the show contacted many photographers and only accepted free offers).
Rust is a beautiful language. Its only issue is that programming in it is painful for anyone who hasn't followed Modern C++ for a decade and then read everything on Rust, which is just Modern C++ with some niceness from ML thrown on top.

I couldn't even begin to imagine onboarding a Jr Engineer to a complex Rust project. I don't even know if it is possible.

I've heard that the Boca Chica operations are currently a really small % of the overall SpaceX budget given how cheap the materials and low the consequences are.

And I am a fan of making such functionality part of the browser :P : one less addon to manage & trust! Aside: the amount of insecure code in addons is scary, see https://palant.info/categories/security/ , not to mention that addons are also a frequent cause of performance trouble (source: me, experienced several times). Thus, the more dubious addon code I'm able to replace with somewhat-well-maintained-and-audited Firefox code with many eyeballs on it, the better.

(At this point, you or a passerby will point at the Pocket fiasco and argue that there's too much stuff shoved into our browsers and just stahp it already. Fair, and I love lean software too. I'd still like this specific feature because A. it's not Pocket, B. it aligns well with what Firefox is doing these days, and C. it aligns with what I expect from my user agent of choice).

Then, supposing this ever makes its way into Fx, you can choose not to use it. And by the way, maybe like you, I will make the same choice if the Fx feature is too basic! But it will remain a win, for the users for whom it's good enough and who would never have bothered with an addon in the first place. Just like ETP vs. uBlock / PrivacyBadger / etc: ETP is a good basic "80%/20%" risk-less step in the right direction, and addons remains way ahead if you the user decide to bother a bit more.

Is anyone else kind of freaked out at how "AI" is treated? Like, AI includes everything from handwritten algorithms to data dashboards to neural networks — and yet the concept seemingly assumes that, if people are involved in the information process, the AI isn't complete. I somehow find an AI focus deceptive and somehow unhealthy. Am I alone in this reaction?
Why are you bringing up #11?
Blaming Activision is too convenient. Activision is pretty hands off of its studios creatively.

The truth is a lot of the good developers left, their new mmo Titan was a massive flop that was rolled into Overwatch, HotS wasn't very compelling, and Diablo 3 never had a compelling endgame to be a "forever game" with constant revenue, Hearthstone was a creative grass roots effort that has since been hit with heavy competition and WOW is an aging workhorse but its not the phenomenon it once was.

Activision is the cause of all that?

> is that the regulators use the wrong threat model for radiation (LNT)

Nuclear fans like to complain about the LNT, but I don't think they're really thinking this through.

In a nuclear accident, most of the population exposure will be a minor increase spread across a vast population. At those doses, we basically cannot check whether LNT is true or not -- the small cancer incidence it predicts is statistically invisible against all the other causes of cancer.

So foes of LNT want to say "we can't show LNT is correct", which is fine, but then they say "so we must assume the actual effect is smaller, perhaps zero", which is not fine. The evidence doesn't support that second step, and this is not a court of criminal law where radiation must be presumed innocent unless found guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. One might very well argue that one should take a precautionary approach, which is to assume that low level radiation has the worst effect it could have that is not ruled out by evidence. This would imply even larger threat than under LNT.
Ok maybe they actually implemented this extremely poor idea correctly, but it is nevertheless an extremely supremely poor idea.

If this takes off, which I sure hope it never will but given our collective idiocy I’m not optimistic, how many years before someone implements the system incorrectly?

I’m an embedded systems guy. A computer chip can be useful in many circumstances. A safety vest, for this purpose, it is not providing any value to anyone except a slimy money person.
I love your last paragraph - it's well written, makes a very strong point and manages to be very funny at the same time. Thanks friend - that's some great writing and thinking!! :)
Yeah, but by the time they addressed it, it has already given everyone many, many repeated large reasons to move on from the game.

The worst part is/was (unsure if this has changed) that you are hard locked into specific hero categories even if you are queued as a full premade. Even when you are with a full team that is OK with swapping, you can't swap roles as needed. Incidentally, I played dps junkrat back when it was categorised as a defence hero. And the categories were decided and changed by Blizzard - Junkrat might have been the only defense hero I'd be willing to play, and now the only offense hero since they recategorised him - I would rather heal than play mccree, but there you have it
I’ve never really thought about this before so maybe it’s totally infeasible, but implicit in this idea is that if the UN or US or... anyone, were to purchase the Amazon, they would then become responsible for enforcing its protection (as opposed to Brazil).

This seems to me the kind of thing that the UN could realistically enforce if “global parks” became part of its mandate. The big sticking point is who pays for it.
If we're nitpicking, doesn't this technically not still allow a buffer overflow, just negate the consequences of it?
I know this is CS specific but it's a resource that kinda finally confirms why I always use some machine gun vs a shotgun in many games. Shotguns are fun in some games because they cause things to explode close up, but in general the DPS is just super low at any distance compared to a machine gun/assault rifle.

Honda would be liable if the passenger airbag doesn't go off because the "passenger sensor" failed.

The addition of the "passenger sensor" added extra failure modes that have to be managed and certified.

Now, car manufacturers did this because people are stupid and put their children in car seats on the passenger side and Honda doesn't want to kill children.

Nevertheless, you have to account for the failure modes and sign off on them. I can't imagine anyone with a PE signing off of this kind of fiasco. I'm sure you can find one somewhere if you pay enough money, but man ...
> whoever designed this is an absolute psychopath.

Yes, if the product were to refuse to protect you after you started riding, that would fit your description, and I would agree. I think it doesn't do that though.

From an engineering perspective, what are the safety risks here, exactly? Did you review the design spec or read the product page?

"3. If I suspend/pause my subscription and forget to reactivate it, will the vest still detect a crash and inflate?

"Answer: No, because in the first place you won’t be able to turn it on into ride-ready status before your ride. It will not “trick” you into thinking it’s active when it is not, because the LED indicators will warn you that it’s not active. If you ignore the LED indicators warning you that the airbag isn’t active, you can’t expect it to work when you’re not actively subscribed."

Given that description, what are the failure modes you envision that are "psychopathic" and would endager the rider and/or erode public trust?

>I get that blizzard doesn't want to have its lunch stolen a second time by LoL/Dota

But it's not stolen -- they didn't invent the genre, someone did off of their platform.

>I love the new graphics, the bugs were pretty minor and quickly fixed, and the stuff the community complained about was either irrelevant [...] or was not a regression against the prior version of the game

I have played the game a lot since it came out, and that is not true. There were multiple network-related issues that might have been in the original game, but were fixed by custom hosting bots long ago (GHost++), which cannot be used anymore (so you're stuck with high-latency). Some were not though, you could wait ~45 seconds for someone to fix their network issues, whereas now they get kicked at the first lag from online games.

There were also gameplay-related changes which have somewhat been fixed, although custom game development has become a huge pain, with crashes and desyncs way more common then they used to be (even before the custom hosting bots).

Arguably they didn't break the normal games AFAIK (but they did break the ladder, especially 2v2, 3v3, etc), although there are no more tournaments, but the main fun in wc3 were the custom games and they:

1) Made user-hostile ToS changes (why? map makers are working for free to make your game better)

2) Broke the netcode making desyncs way more likely and removed custom bots making latency way higher (playing USA + EU is now a huge pain because of where their servers are hosted)

3) Broke an important part of the community (clans, channel bots, etc)

4) Made the client way laggier and heavier
I agree this feels pretty questionable, but if you take that view, you should ask yourself how you feel about the Garmin inReach Mini [1] (and possibly other devices in that family).
It's an emergency satellite SOS device for outdoor recreation, with a monthly subscription option—and many features beyond pure SOS. When the subscription is suspended though, the SOS functionality will not work (unlike, say, a cellphone).

And yet it is—from my observation—an incredibly popular device, and I would bet that the start/stop monthly plan is the most popular (it's the one I use).

Obvious one difference is that here you get something for your monthly subscription (maintenance of the Iridium network, an emergency response center, etc). But given the incredibly low rate of people pushing the SOS button, the relatively low cost of that happening (it's not like they actually mount the search and rescue, they just pass on a message), and the incredibly high benefits, how different is it really?

There's an appeal to basic logic that goes "if the disease spreads from person to person and persons don't cross borders then the disease can't either." That might be a simplistic model but it's obviously correct upon inspection unless the disease spreads from distant persons which in this case it does not.

The reason you might reject the policy implications of said model is that the assumption going in (we can sufficiently restrict border movement) are in your mind impractical or impossible.
we made safety razors because they're safer for the user's face, not because they're safer for children to play with. Both safety razors (or the replacement blades) and straight razors must be kept from children.
No nation state is likely to give up or sell territory. You see very small cases where two countries that share a border swap a bit of (uninhabited) land to "clean up" the border, that's about it.
IIRC they don't plan on an orbital test of the standalone second-stage. They'll strap it to a superheavy first.

Fascinating. To me this just speaks about how humans did not evolve to create large, complex societies of the current scale we have in the world. Its like electing a group of 5 people to represent and speak for the entire world in case an alien civilization comes forth.

I'm Canadian and I have been seriously considering moving to the US for a few months now. It may just be "grass is always greener" but after some initial criticism, it seems like the US has handled this so much better than we have, people are getting back to normal there while our governments continue to add restrictions. I didn't realize we were only at 3% vaccinated, but that is an absolute embarrassment. I'd be curious to hear American or other outside perception of how we have handled it.
I'm not sure I agree, the balance for pro level has almost no bearing on lower leagues who suck. I think the reason people stopped playing is that it's really really hard (tiring) and it's not a team based game and can get quite lonely.

No mention of the <dialog> element [1] but that's probably because browser support isn't great—not implemented in Safari, experimental flag in Firefox.

The lazy-loading option for img elements is news to me, but I think I'd still prefer to use JavaScript for that task. Same probably goes for the dialog element actually now that I think about it.

Having a simple HTML5 option might seem cool, but I like to keep the actual logic in JavaScript and to use HTML just for page structure. Basically, I prefer to depend on HTML as little as possible for user interaction/behaviour.

HTML: what an element *is*
CSS: how an element looks
JS: what an element *does*

There's always overlap and blurred lines but that's one of the joys [2] of developing for the web.

If you're using a framework like React you don't even care about the markup, it's all abstracted away -- but in that case, you care even less about neat little HTML5 additions, you've got components and they're woven into your event dispatch and state already.

Sometimes I fantasize having small co-op groups - like 50 to 100 people each. Each person will know every other person in the group. There would be at least one doctor, one lawyer etc in the group. They will have their own healthcare fund, will shop as a unit to get bulk discounts, will help other members of the group in every way possible etc.

Kinda sounds silly. But I wouldn't be surprised if it actually happens. At some point people are gonna realize they can only depend on themselves and that is going to lead to some creative ideas
It's difficult to compare.

I love processing/p5 and it's very easy to learn and has a vibrant community and lots of add-ons. It's also a great education tool.

Pts is a more opinionated library because one of my personal motivations was to create something that can help me think and approach creative coding in conceptual ways. It's more composable, and it provides the building blocks for a complementary library that I'm building now. :)
Some recent changes were made around people who frequently get blocked being auto-blocked for you when you join the game. They have highlighted red names like "Dalmatian" and "Flamingo", etc. If you un-block them, you swiftly find out why.

So, blocking communication is one thing you can do to help send a signal that this player is toxic. I guess eventually they start getting queued in lower trust factor lobbies but that's speculation.
