Doing the FPS + MMO integration was a risky step, but they get points for trying because that was pretty creative back in its time.

Like walking-in-stations, (now in Star Citizen and Elite: Dangerous) they seem to be pioneers back in the day but didn't get much credit for it because the execution was so important.

I'm fine with EVE having pay-for-skill points now because you were always able to buy accounts and that was actually scam-free. You'd need to buy a lot of PLEX back then to pay for one with real money though.

Yep I use Doc parser as our customers don't want to setup custom EDR.

I can understand that but I can't understand why accounting packages don't have a standardized EDR for Purchase Orders and Invoices.

There are specs out there for example the GS1 spec, anything similar would be great.
Yes, but there’s a catch—the people selling games would rather give you a non-transferable license, if possible.

I think someone at the publisher would do the math, and figure that they get more money by selling to two people, then selling a (possibly higher-priced) transferable license to one person.

If you want transferable licenses, make it happen. It’s the law in the EU, so if you pass similar laws in the US, you’ll get the ability to resell your game license, NFTs or no.
There’s a difference. If a collector comes and takes my helmet, I won’t get on a bike without it because I’m a stickler for keeping my brain inside my skull. If there is a bug anywhere between the global payment system and this product, I may not even know.
What percentage of its old growth forests does France retain?

If the answer is a very small number, doesn't that make historical France guilty of what these measures seek to prevent happening in Brazil?

To the extent this is a moral argument, shouldn't France atone for its misdeeds by regenerating wild forests, to be left unmolested in perpetuity?

If nobody is advocating any such thing, perhaps this isn't a moral argument, or even an environmental argument. Perhaps it's an economic initiative from the people who stand to gain from the French production of soy beans.

I think boycotts are fair, and protests, and labor strikes. These are the only thing that have ever moved companies to change their behavior.

Even tax hikes and stricter regulations they seem to skirt.

There's some who'd say boycotts are bad, stop cancel culture...except when THEY are doing the canceling. Look at the political right in America... STOP CANCEL CULTURE...but you can cancel Liz Cheney and Mitt Romney, we don't want them anymore...

I mean elections are all about "Cancel Culture" your vote can change who's elected canceling the person who was there before.

If you think Walmart is evil and Target is less evil you can vote with your dollars and only shop at Costco which is less evil than both of those... or a worker co-op like Winco (my favorite, but closest one is 4 hours away).

The article makes some good points.

I disagree with its characterization of the conflict as ‘the world's first industrialised "total" war’. The American civil war was in many ways the first economy-vs-economy war, with mechanized weapons and logistics (even rail to the front). The Europeans mostly ignored it because it was far away
But you can't remove societal influence?

This is the issue, you can't test against "no societal influence". And societal influence is that powerfull of a factor for comportments that any biological factor is negligible. Or maybe gender difference is only a small factor and not a negligible, one but how do you test for that? It is impossible.

>The extremely consumer-positive loot box system

No loot box system is consumer-positive. Its legalized gambling and its wrong.

The Riot model is correct (except for putting new summoners behind a paywall): F2P, with the ability to buy exactly the cosmetics you want and nothing else. I spent quite a bit of money on LOL when i played it and i didn't feel bad about it. Overwatch could have done the same thing and it would have been great!
Global Offensive yeah. It's pretty much taken in both the 1.6 and Source communities at this point (though I'm sure both have some dedicated players remaining).
Actually this isn't the norm. It happens often with tiny budget shows or college films, but not Netflix or real productions (netflix is footing the bill on this one) And it's still predatory.

And if the rest of the show is shot union, photographers are covered work, so union or nobody works.
DDG returned a forbes article which has much more information about the project[1]. Maybe my search prowess isn't very good, but that's the best I could find (it presents the information much more easily than the Sheba project page).

The reef stars are seeded with reef fragments, which can be easily grown in tanks. They say that they are using 42 "types" of coral. These frags will likely grow really quickly, and fill the area with coral. It's really great to see so much money and effort that uses local resources to help restore the reefs. This will could really help kickstart reef restoration in the areas.

I wish I could find more detailed information on the project; if the 42 "types" are from 42 unique source corals, and they are of different species, it seems like a limited improvement. Corals can't reproduce with their own clones. If it is the case it's from 42 sources, then while this will definitely help restore the environment in the short term, it may be of limited long-term help, particularly if the sources of destruction are not addressed.

So we weren’t talking about Cython specifically, but something Cython-like, i.e., we’re not talking about Cython’s special syntax but rather ordinary Python. This is important because it means that dev builds execute against CPython directly (i.e., your code begins executing immediately) while production builds use our hypothetical AOT compiler.
In PL academia (including in the US) many people prefer dot paper for physical research notebooks. When you're mixing together diagrams, prose, inference rules, semantics, code, etc. it's a quite nice and flexible medium.
Sometimes I am positively surprised by some policies in France. They are further than many other nations in some areas. They have laws against wasting food in the supply chain of grocery store chains as well, afaik. Maybe these are only small steps and they need to think even bigger, but at least there are small steps. Cannot say that I know of my own country implementing these steps. Here such things take ages and is met with heavy resistance from lobbying big corporations. Surely they have them too, but at least sometimes the results let France look more progressive.
Welcome to the Everything Game
Looking from my own experience so many photographers are available it is hard to determine who may or may not be credible. Having a tv show connection provides that extra confidence that the photos will turn out well. It is one of those moments you can't do over.

But if the portfolio wasn't as high quality as others the tv connection wouldn't matter.

I would pay a little more to reduce risk.

And the biggest draw is brand. I might not have heard of you if not for your connection to the show. This gives you free worldwide branding. You could setup an online store and sell products or sell advice as a side business.
Maybe they could take a REAL stand and pull out their parasitic trade agreements with all the African countries that are still de facto colonized by them.
When sound cards were still a thing even in mid-level PCs I once tried to call Dell for a driver issue related to the sound card that the high-end PC had come equipped with.

I got zero help with the software issue, but they sent me a new card. I sold it on Ebay for ~$70 though so I did not complain. I solved the driver issue myself.

As far as I can tell, there is one option for buying the vest: pay $399.99. There are two options for some 'algorithm' service, which seems to me a lazy way to make a product like this.

> and with the same engineering resources put behind it, a cut-down version of Kotlin would easily be able to achieve build times in the ballpark of generic-enabled Go.

So basically no real example. It is only what would be possible if things were to happen certain way.

> It may be enough to write one-off command line applications, but it doesn't give developers the tools to create complex distributed systems in a systematic, clean way

This is just arrogant opinion. Distributed tools and applications like NATS, Kubernetes, Docker, CockroachDB and so many other exist and written in Go. Developers who can't write distributed systems themselves can ofcourse buy or license tools from vendors. And at that point, honestly, it could have been written in any language.
I'm looking forward to your Clojure AI book. Your books look amazing. Thanks for sharing.
Matt Levine had a good bit about this in his most recent newsletter:

> For instance, when you fund a company in its early stages,

> you might want a founder who will microdose LSD at work,

> because that’s just the sort of imaginative, aggressive,

> independent thinking that might change the world or whatever.

> (“Narrative violation: This CEO drops acid,” etc.)

> But when you are looking to take that company public,

> you want a CEO who would never microdose LSD at work,

> because that’s the sort of thing that stodgy

> institutional investors and regulators will find unsettling.

> If the founder-CEO has been microdosing acid all along,

> and you have been encouraging him to do so,

> there will be an awkward transition when you tell him to stop.

> If there is a bug anywhere between the global payment system and this product, I may not even know.

Why are you speculating about this and suggesting it will operate in a way that directly contradicts their documentation? It states clearly that the system has to be turned on and will reach "ride ready state". This means that you will know whether it's functioning before you ride, even if there is a bug in their payment system.
This is a very naive view. Black people are responsible for higher share of murders, for example, than their share of population. We should look at the frequency of interactions with the police, not at the population shares.

Hm. While I usually avoid Wifi where- and whenever I can, recently I couldn't. Booted some live Distro into RAM, fiddled whith settings(because not used to WiFi, got it?), almost had screaming fits, until I discovered I could switch from that Networkmanagercrap to Connman and everything worked. The GUI which enabled that was this https://github.com/andrew-bibb/cmst

I had a similar experience but it was due to FedEx constantly delivering Amazon packages to the wrong address in my neighborhood. We were 398 but FedEx always delivered to 389 or 498. This continued even after we put a second set of house numbers on our mailbox.

We eventually had Amazon ban FedEx as a shipper to our address.
How can I trust that something like this has gone through the appropriate, rigorous level of critical systems testing to keep me alive if it's using a phone-home, bluetooth app to make logic decisions?
I like to buy repairable and upgradeable laptops as a matter of principle (system76). But realistically I replace my laptop every 2 years anyways for the extra CPU performance. Being able to upgrade just that part without replacing the whole thing sounds perfect for me.

I was hoping they would take advantage of animation to make it so you couldn't tell Bob Arctor is really Fred at first, and they gradually look more and more like each other, until they are the same. In the book, it's not clear to the reader they are the same person at first (unless you have a paperback edition that gives it away on the back of the book!).... just as Bob himself (the viewpoint character) literally doesn't realize he's watching himself on the surveillance cameras. Because he's kind of going crazy.

I was disapointed they didn't bother with that. Except for that, I agree, a good adaptation of one of my favorite PKD books. It is such a weird book.

The quote about the imposter is funny cause Bob Arctor is an imposter himself...

Your framing:

- France cuts its own forests down, lectures other people about cutting their forests down, what hypocrites.

Result of taking framing to conclusion:

- Everyone should be able to cut their forests down with impunity, then when we have no forests, we should try to figure out a solution now that we're no longer hypocrites.

My framing:

- France, having (as most of Europe did) extensively deforested for ship timber hundreds of years ago, witnesses the devastating effects of deforestation locally, and tries to mitigate future deforestation. They try to recover local forests, though they will never recover to levels from, say, 1200AD. Although the cat is out of the bag in many places, we now understand this to be a global problem, which should be solved globally

Result of taking framing to its logical conclusion:

- No one should engage in aggressive deforestation, and we should look at mechanisms of economic compensation to help countries whose growth is limited because of this from countries who benefited from it before we understood it to be wrong. OECD countries should aggressively support and fund reforestation of the Rainforest and African Green Belt.

I dunno what to say, man.

I find it strange in an evolutionary way. We had too many "discoveries" in the field of neuroscience and psychology only to be reverse so I wouldn't trust the findings too much.
Okay, i get your point, i did not understand it at first.

I totally agree, if there is one biological attribute that can have an impact, it is gender. The other differences are so small compared to gender they don't matter. What i was saying is that gender doesn't have that much of an impact, or at least less of an impact than what society expect from your gender.
I think it's generally easy to point the finger at others while ignoring our own short comings. I feel the same way about the USA pointing the finger at other countries human rights violations while simultaneously struggling to come to terms with our own treatment of minorities and indigenous people in the past.

Maybe it's a mix of hypocrisy and political gain. I just hope there comes a time where we can all do better.
As an ex-pro CS player (circa 2003-2007), this is pretty neat. Unfortunately, even though CS might have a fairly deep weapon pool, only a very small subset of weapons are actually used in competition (I'd wager 85+% of gameplay mostly involves the M4, AK, AWP, Deagle, and USP/Glock). Situationally, a few weapons would be interesting to compare (the MAG-7 and Scout come to mind), but the tool isn't particularly useful outside of a curiosity.

Even though I don't really follow the pro scene much anymore, I'd personally be more interested in a tool that analyzed map positioning and strats. Cool site nonetheless, solid work!
