It's other way around. Majority of miners were against SegWit and blocked its activation for over a year. Community then decided to collectively upgrade their nodes to accept only certain transactions. It is called User Activated Soft Fork (#UASF)
The miners had to make a decision. Mine coins that rest of the world dont want, or activate segwit.
"Gender perception" or "gender presentation" perhaps. But for the longest time "gender" meant one's biological sex.

We should, instead, talk about personality as affected by gender, and behavior as influenced by personality and culture, including assumed or adopted gender norms.

What the article says is that personality is affected by gender. Behavior is influenced by more than just personality. These are distinctions in cause and effect, which tend to be blurred together when using political language. Personality (ex ante) and behavior (ex post) distinctions keep getting wrapped around the axle of these attempted redefinitions.
I use Go a lot and I really like Rust, so maybe I can add some context. Error handling boilerplate isn’t a big deal. Lines of code aren’t a big deal. That’s not where your bugs are coming from and you aren’t bottlenecked on your typing speed. It’s not a real problem, but rather a dogmatic pursuit of terseness for its own sake. Rust is an expression-oriented language—it needs something like ? because without it we would have gratuitous nested braces marching ever-rightward and that actually is laborious to keep track of (deeply nested match expressions). Go could drop some error handling boilerplate with an ? operator, but it wouldn’t benefit as much from it as Rust did.
> what if there is a bug in their payment checking system and it incorrectly indicates that the vest is functional?

Then you get a free day of airbag protection. The vest won't tell you it's functional and then stop working while you ride. The functionality and payment check happens before you ride, if you read their product description. https://www.klim.com/Ai-1-Airbag-Vest-3046-000

> This idea is just not something that is possible to defend.

I think you have the wrong idea about what it is. I am a motorcycle rider, I'm extremely safety conscious. I might buy this vest, because an airbag is good protection, and they're making this cost less to try out. Not sure if I would lease it or buy it outright, but I wouldn't hesitate to lease it over safety concerns, if buying wasn't an option for me.
They deserve to go bankrupt. For sure you can get for 800 bucks a more than decent motorcycle protective jacket than this joke.
Super cool!
How are you handling the dithering? The website examples look a bit 'swimmy,' with dots wandering around a lot, but looks a bit better in the bit of the tech talk I looked at. Did you find a nice improvement to the dithering technique?

In both cases, there's lines of dots in wide dark spaces, as one would expect from an error-diffusion dither. Did you look into other approaches?
Can it dig into tracking redirects and extracts original URL?
this is more or less what they did with Hearthstone and Overwatch

but then the standard development process sunk in, at least to Overwatch, and now the content pipeline is dead
> "Because I can? I said nothing about anonymity. Odd..."

Not odd at all. You claim to be "standing up against something" but you aren't, you're not standing there, you're hiding. Your actions undermine your words. Rosa Parks didn't write an anonymous letter to the editor about people's right to sit on bus seats. Those who did write anonymous letters to the editor about it don't get to say "I'm standing up for black rights" because they ... weren't.
> I think if you've concluded that from my prior comment, you're not reading what I've said with any open mind. Because I explicitly stated the opposite.

You more or less admitted it in the following statement: "It is the case that the OB is relatively less powerful than the Supreme court because the Executive Branch and Legislative Branch of Facebook are one and the same, and so relatively far more powerful". That's essentially how Iran works today, and its judiciary is the opposite of independent.

Nobody ever sets out to create a dysfunctional judiciary, it's just extraordinarily easy to create a system that trends toward rot in the long run. Likewise, in most countries where independence of the judiciary is a foreign concept, it's not because they didn't attempt to set up an independent judiciary, it's because the structure doesn't ensure an independent judiciary in the long run. At the end of the day, that's what a "Constitution" is. It means "structure".

> I think its also very clear that in practice "one part of the megacorp confirms the others" isn't how the OB has operated so far.

Correct, and I'm making no comments here about how the OB has operated so far, I'm trying to understand the structure of the system to try and predict how it might operate in the future. Throughout my line of commenting here, you'll notice that I'm asking about the checks and balances underlying the OB and how its members are appointed. I think the composition of the board, as it exists today, appears (mostly) reasonable. However, the mechanism by which new members are appointed (at least as I understand it) leaves much to be desired. When such a body is comprised almost entirely of people that ideologically align with the corporation it aims to check it becomes a sign of how the OB might operate in the future, and from what I can tell, there's no check preventing this from happening in this system that FB has created. In the long run, as judicial systems go, the OB appears to lean much more toward the Iran side of the spectrum rather than the US side of the spectrum.
It's Raining Bugs (2004)
That's just absolutely not true. They are promoting incompetent people because of demands for diversity, and everyone in the military knows it. There are ways of achieving that while still being able to claim you are "blind" to this or that factor in the process. And no system can be blind because it eventually has to incorporate feedback from your commanding officer and others who deal with you. Do you think those people don't face political pressure to make sure the right outcome happens? Do you want to be accused of racial discrimination?
Conference talk rejected because marketer criticised Google and Facebook
That was thanks to a tremendous amount of work beforehand. The nasdaq thing will be easily fixed in time too.
I've said before that it's what PUBG should have been (and could have been, given enough polish)
I dont think smoke is what you should be worried about during a natural gas explosion.

Nonetheless, id still be worried about things that will kill me, even if its not in the next 10 seconds. Dead is still dead.
It amazes me that modern web frameworks don't already do this by default.
There's not a jury in the world that would not pave this company flat when the first death occurs because the rider missed a payment. (Or more likely because the rider kept up with the payments but the Internet-of-Shit software screwed up.)
I think often the Crimean War is the one viewed as the template for modern warfare. But this raises a good point that things are always more of a spectrum and the US Civil War had already pushed a few steps in this direction.

There's a video on the site of one going over a 200ft water fall.

I mean maybe, you can barely see it. And there's nothing inside, no camera. And they don't show what it looks like after.

This is like a kickstarter project before kickstarters.
I’m not sure I understand what’s new here: I remember watching early QuickTime video on my SE30 and marveling that it managed to convert on the fly to dithered B&W.

Still: love to see this!
Thanks for the feedback; absolutely! Modelling these additional aspects like recoil and accuracy with customisable shot intervals is underway.

To elaborate, they didn't make it into the initial release as there's a substantial amount of work involved to tie that in dynamically with the data (as each shot is inherently dependant on all the shots before it and the time between them when firing multiple rounds).

I understand how much value this would add to the comparisons, so it's a top priority!
> Hard to tell if you're arguing in good faith with a heritage foundation link, but the stats there are fine.

I don't know what you mean by this. I googled SEC spending over time and found this well sourced article about spending. I understand that Heritage Foundation is a conservative think tank but why does citing something from there mean I'm not arguing in good faith? I'm missing something....

> A 82% budget increase from 2008-2018. But only a 31% increase in employees since 2004. Markets have gotten much larger with many more trades over the same time period. Certainly technology helps handle the increase but there is an orders of magnitude difference between a 2004 market and a 2021 market.

Your original claim was that they're underpaid or underfunded, which is just wrong. Their budgets have increased by more than the inflation rate. And you still don't provide any data to back up any of your other claims, instead you attack me for arguing in bad faith and claim it's not a big enough increase because you think it should be bigger because you know, crypto.
Then the vest won't turn on, and you'll know before you ride that it's not protecting you. It says that on the product page.
I disagree. You can improve your product without the extensive use of trackers, especially external ones. Hire UX and PM that know what they are doing, do UX research, talk to your customers, do competitive analysis.

Just accruing swaths of data doesn’t help, you need to interpret it correctly. I think qualitative data will bring you a long way. Once you need to do A/B testing, you can also do it privacy friendly.

If you market your product and run a campaign? Why not offer discount codes or something to figure out how you got them.
> What would be the cost to manufacture them at the rate of 500 million a year? That's the global market potential.

Completely agreed. The fact that there's one bad product on the market doesn't mean that one can conclude that our system rewards bad products, per the GGP comment.

> p.s. Do motorcycle airbags actually work to significantly prevent injury and death? If the answer is that they aren't particularly efficacious anyway, even when ideally implemented, I can understand why they scarcely exist in the market.

Probably not! I think time will tell.

I honestly don't get wth they were thinking with OW2... In what world is it the right decision to fracture your game community in two?
The population isn't really coastal. There will be a lot of casualties along the coast, but it is sparsely populated. The overall number should be much lower than the Tohoku quake. Some other estimates have the number considerably lower than FEMA's.

People keep touting the low cost of renewables plus storage, but this is incredibly misleading when most regions (Germany, Denmark, California, etc.) that have high renewable adoption have some of the most expensive electricity in the world.

Storage (especially at the current rate of growth) is nowhere close to meeting our capacity needs for a 100% renewable grid. We can't store enough energy for a single day of consumption. Keep in mind we would need to store enough energy to handle long periods of low production. We're an order of magnitude away from that. On top of that, the vast majority of global energy storage is not actually provided by batteries, but by pumped-storage hydro (expanding this capacity would run into environmental issues and physical limitations; we don't have enough water in convenient locations).

Battery tech seems way off from providing us the needed capacity. Even Tesla is bottlenecked by battery production. We'd need to see Moore's Law level growth to have enough storage capacity to mitigate climate change, but we're only seeing 30% to 40% growth, which is just not enough given that it's currently less than a fraction of a percent of our total energy storage needs for 100% renewable power.

People are also seriously overestimating the time table needed to build a nuclear power plant. India, China, and Russia have been able to build plants in a few years vs 10 years in the West. If we're not pushing nuclear now, we'll be burning coal and natural gas for the next century.
>Genuine question, are you sure about that?

Yes, I've participated (in a minor role) twice in a big sell-off of a publicly traded stock and both times we ended up inqavertently lowering the price early on(of course, there are always other factors).
> Race means you forced people to inbreed, thus creating a "race"

I'm curious who you think forced Chinese to become Chinese and Aborigines to become Aborigines, etc... You could define race away and say we are all human, but that is also not interesting.
it's a fantastic game artistically, technically and gameplay wise

however it's managed really, really badly

it's a billion dollar franchise and can't even put out a new map for the regular game mode in 24 months

There is a pretty wide span of time between catch and "unfit for consumption."

This particular product may be totally lying about how fresh they froze their fish, but it's still not an oxymoron.
You're not missing anything here. It's poorly thought out at best. Dangerous false sense of security at worst.
Lame. I came for explosions and shrapnel, and all I got was a viable POC of cheap interplanetary flight.

That (still relatively local conflict) dates back to the Greeks and Persians if not earlier.

See "Persian Fire".

"The Silk Roads" is a good account of the specific events you are talking about.
I want to know the engineers' names that signed off on this design.
There was one form (to add a customer I think). Really simply deal - 5 text boxes and a create button.

Wouldn't let you click create because its complaining about missing fields (telephone or sector or something).

Except the form literally doesn't have a fields for that stuff.

We also had tons of issues with duplicates because well...global org & suddenly thousands of inexperienced people try to jam stuff on there. So the guy in Egypt links his stuff to Australia because many countries have a "Road Construction Ltd" etc. And then the sales figures pull through cross jurisdication etc. And then the guy in Australia deletes it cause its messing up his dashboard. Just carnage.

TBF I knew our copy of SF was very heavily customized (big contract) & I could sorta see the vision behind it. Perhaps the roll-out was just overly ambitious (bad ERP rollout style) rather than the software inherently bad.
>Shortly after the landing burn started, SN11 experienced a rapid unscheduled disassembly. Teams will continue to review data and work toward our next flight test.

I wonder how many failures SpaceX can fund before the project ends up in trouble.
I am not a fan of making such functionality part of the browser.

I use the HTTPS only mode in Firefox - it breaks some sites, and telling Firefox to disable the mode for a specific site doesn't always work.

I feel like a plugin (HTTPS Everywhere) can deal with this a lot better than something that's integrated and reduced to a single checkbox in the settings.
Throwing an empty can into the river has a miniscule effect on the environment. You do more damage when you ride the bus to work.

Rust is seriously cool in this regard, but Go aspires to be different, namely more C-like and less C++-like. This means a dumber, faster compiler that is easier to intuit about, for better or worse. Rust is such an amazing piece of engineering (moreso an amazing process and culture for producing an amazing language), but I think Go’s approach is right for a whole lot of software—lots of things don’t need to be insanely performant (lots of things are chugging along in Python, which runs 2-3 orders of magnitude slower than Go) but we do need to be able to iterate on them quickly in a development context involving dozens or hundreds of other people.
It's my impression they're printing money, so probably a whole lot.
This comment made my day. Looking forward to Starship flights to be as routine as the Falcons.
it skews the data in the right direction (from their point of view). if you saw it on twitter, and shared it with 100 people, then (from their perspective) they should spend more time advertising on twitter.

Looks like whatever the small fire was after the landing has been contained.
this is a nature of the game's design: ultimate advantage snowballing

> Is the split actually ideological

Of the 3 network splits I was involved in, they were always along ideological lines. However, if you go read through the forum posts at the time, you will see lots of plausible sounding falsehoods used to justify siding with one camp or the other.

I spent a lot of time writing essays debunking these talking points. However, hundreds of posts repeating a short semi-plausible phrase is much more effective in persuading people than the essays it takes to rebut them.
In the previous tests Spacex used 2-3 rocket engines for the initial landing burn.

For SN15, the rocket used 2 engines throughout the landing procedure. I wonder if this is a sign of their confidence in the improved design.

The landing was smooth as butter and nothing went noticeably wrong, although I did noticed that the rocket landed dangerous close to the edge of the concrete pad.
I looked at the insurance plans that give a safe driving / low km bonus, they use a device that plugs I to the car diagnostics port. But it's actually a sham -- you get a discount on the next year, not the past year, so it's just a trick to get you to renew.

I thought the seatbelt thing was a dig at Americans, who I never mentioned, and blatant whataboutism, but whatever.

For the countries with the highest death rates (~80/million), which are poorer former Eastern Block countries, they predominantly occur in urban areas. Making cars 0.1% safer for Germans/French/Swedish, who have >50% of fatalities in the countryside, makes cars more expensive for the whole block, delaying the changeover to cars with massive safety features, like monocoque passenger safety cells, ABS/ESC and airbags.

Incidentally,10% of US fatalities occured where no seat belt was worn.[1] In the UK this was 30%, but with a quarter of the fatality rate. All you can say is that people without seat belts on die.

In a sense yes, but I wouldn't call that an incentive, any more than I have an "incentive" for Chipotle to give me free burritos. I'm not the one making the decision there. The people who are doing the polluting have the right incentive, and that's what matters.

If the amount of the tax were fixed, the dividend would decrease over time, but the tax gradually increases as we get better and better at doing things without emitting greenhouse gases. The eventual target being net zero carbon. Based on the tax level in the Energy Innovation Act as an example, this is predicted around 2050.

Starship landing nominal
Good to hear! In particular, one comparison I would love to see is something like:

If I perfectly strafe and momentum cancel between every shot with a pistol, how often do I dink an opponent if my crosshair's on their head with a P2K, P250, CZ, and five seven? How different are the recovery periods where I'm strafing before I can tap again?
