Not entirely true, the "tax them to death" crowd in SF are very envious of "Tech Workers" who are largely programmers.
The guy that made the accusations was her former boyfriend, and seemly not a gamer.

Around that time people were also upset with other journalists, the Quinnspiracy thing became just the straw that broke the camel back, and gamers weren't upset because she was female, they were upset because Kotaku kept making shitty articles.
I mean, it employed Boris Johnson as a columnist; you do the maths.

More seriously, it's a bit of an oddity, really; it's a broadsheet under the normal classification, but certainly has tabloid-y elements.
My link contains a survey of 270 000 gamers on what kinds of games they play, I didn't base this on anecdotes.
Remind me which country has the largest incarcerated population in the world?
I believe the common response here to this sort of comment is "yes, not all men, but too many men", and that it's the responsibility of men to call out the men they see being that kind of deplorable on their actions, to reduce the frequency of those men.
We put people in prison because of race, because we choose to enforce some laws on people of certain races and not on others. Slavery is allowed as punishment for a crime (see the text of the amendment) and that's exactly what we do with prisoners. When people of certain races are executed by police, the officer(s) do not usually face consequences or punishment.

We're the world's biggest glass house, maybe we shouldn't throw so many stones. We can set a better example by changing how our society operates, we only need to choose to do so.
The fact it's written in Perl is cause for concern...
Intuition fails! Quick, point out the math! Your comment is exactly what is derived / demonstrated in the article.

Parent was simply commenting how that math was not intuitive (and so repeating that it was just math doesn't do much).
More or less.

I've only ever heard "Eunice" pronounced in ways nothing like I'm used to hearing my name, but I can see that.
It's MS Pacman, IIRC. And... while they were shown having a kid together, I don't think any formal wedding ceremony was ever shown. Quite progressive for its day.
Maybe try explaining to him that school and other institutions tend to optimize for the average person, so unless his goal is being average, he'll need to take responsibility.
> I bet I could download a MOBA I've never played before and have fun in my first match knowing nothing about how to play it (even the controls).

Used to play DotA (as in, the custom WC3 map) and LoL. I downloaded Pokemon Unite last week. Instantly understood pretty much everything except the individual feel and tactics of each character.
That's a good question and I don't have a good answer for you. I know some of my relatives produce and sell beet sugar through a cooperative, but I also know that they will sell other crops to large distributors like you mention, or even sometimes directly to grocery stores.

I try to buy the coop sugar when I can.
For anyone wondering, there was plenty of harassment, doxxing, and a number of rape and death threats against Zoe Quinn entirely because people hated her short game Depression Quest for being "political" or "not a game", well before the term 'Gamergate' or any of the 'ethics in journalism' conspiracy nonsense even came into the picture.
This is a great explanation, actually.
I'd say one of those did work just fine: when they consolidated AS/400 and RS/6000.
United States sells Wu-Tang album forfeited by Martin Shkreli
This seems like the type of thing that could be a liability nightmare. If my child told me someone in the neighborhood had built a backyard roller coaster, I would forbid them to ride it.
Absolute degeneracy. I don’t understand how a professional workplace could devolve to this. I have trouble talking about non work matters for more than a few minutes, How do things get this far?
Looking good! Is there a reason for why you use Core at some points?
Don’t think I agree with this. Rampant sexism and general abuse of workers has been an open secret in the game development world for many years now, and people still line up to work at the big studios because they love games.
Third party vendors don't buy vulnerabilities on Google's infrastructure and web services. Third parties like Zerodium are interested in 0days on Android, iOS, Windows, Chrome...

You could try to sell it to criminal organizations or monetizing the vulnerability yourself, but it doesn't make any sense to be in that situation if you are making six figures as a bug bounty hunter.. even if you didn't have any ethical qualms regarding such acts.
Fluid has so much to bend the mind. Soliton waves, shocks, expansions, critical transition phenomena (besides phase transition)
Look at froude number and planning hulls, the purpose of chines, steps, etc. in a high speed hull to manage skin friction vs wave drag. Wave Dispersion, wave superposition, etc. the free surface itself means if you are solving for flow, flow then determines the free surface which then determines the flow.. add infinitum. It’s nonlinear like a baby general relativity in that way. The shallow water equations are hyperbolic so you get shocks etc. deep water, long wavelength waves act in linear fashion so you get superposition effects. On and on. Fun times.
Running two instances of Discord is not too complicated (at least on Linux) and might work well to separate your professional and gaming accounts. You only have to be careful of invite links, which will open in the first Discord you run.
A lot of marketing activity is measured these days. A lot of the measurement ends up being through proxies that may correlate poorly with what you really care about. But you might be surprised at the amount of data associated with marketing campaigns, content marketing, events, and so forth. It's a lot more than used to be the case.
Not releases, but there have been some other significant developments:

* Ex blizzard RTS devs have gone to a few different studios. Frost Giant has the most hype, but there's also one of the Dream Haven studios IIRC, and Uncapped Games.

* A bunch of SC2 modders made a new studio, SunSpear, and their new RTS called Immortal: Gates of Pyre had a successful Kickstarter and has been getting a fair amount of hype from the StarCraft community.
While many gamers may not care, which i dont think is true but accepting that premise. Blizzard has been doing their best to piss off gamers anyway.
Fun fact:

They granted create threads to everybody by default but granted manage threads to nobody by default.

So we had moderators who could delete channels, delete create and modify roles and role permissions, and delete messages as well as ban/kick users, but couldn't manage or delete threads.

"public threads" show up in the main channel list to everybody as a sub channel, and everybody had permission to create and name them what ever they wanted, but nobody could delete them until i logged in and gave it to my mods.

Realllllllllly well done roll out discord.
Most modern indexing structures are in the succinct radix tree algorithm family. This is a diverse algorithm space with many design knobs that can be used to optimize properties and behavior in multiple dimensions, so any two algorithm implementations can look quite different. Most algorithms of this type you see in the wild don't have names, they were designed to fit requirements from first principles.

You can find simple, albeit limited and not too succinct, examples of these types of data structures online. More advanced capabilities crammed into ever more succinct representations can quickly become difficult to reason about -- the code looks much more abstractly information theoretic and less like a traditional index.
If you're not open to other opinions, you will hear none, and that's entirely on you.

In extremely broad strokes, China has gone from colonized and poor to powerful and rich. Is it so hard to believe that the average Zhao is pretty OK with things?
Did the women go to HR? If so, just fire all of HR and get a new HR. Did they not go to HR? That's on them and no one should feel bad for them then. No one should be persecuted for not solving your problems for you.

I know law offices like very much to get public opinion on their side with strategic leaks so that they can push for a settlement ASAP. If things go to trial, it's likely to come out that their clients are gold-digging scumbags who didn't follow the process through HR like they were trained to do.
That looks like a non-linear time-decay function, not a time-weighted average.

I mean, you pretty much just validated it’s all “manufactured consent”.

Spending money to chant a specific message to tune brain chemistry, awareness, and memory, lest they die out.
That would still be an effective technique for big-budget films if the net result is an improvement on the state of the art. (Which I think it does seem to be).
You might think so, but slacking now seems to be considered to be dangerously rebellious[1] by the CCP.

I love how the "realism" crowd has no issues with jumping out of planes mid-air to snipe a pilot (and then steal their plane).

Or jumping from the third floor of a building onto a cobblestone street and then running away as if you had barely tripped.

Or having a WWI game where half the server is carrying automatic weapons.
The thing is, your "average gamer" won't know or care about any of this. I work in the industry and according to our own stats the "average gamer" is a 20-30 year old, owns a console, and buys exactly three games every year - fifa, CoD, and one other title that got the most advertising that year.

I used to live with such guys at uni, had them as flatmates - you wouldn't catch them dead talking about video games, "nerd" was probably the worst insult for them, and they religiously bought every single Fifa every year to "play with their mates" and CoD to play some multiplayer. Year on year. So yeah, I'm absolutely tempted to believe those stats, and I'm also absolutely tempted to believe any backlash from this will be minimal to Activision.
The people talking down are the people who think gamers are beneath them (but might play NFL or CoD on their console). AKA jocks vs. geeks.
Totally agree FWIW :)
2K, Disney, Niantic, Unity, WB, Roblox, Marvel are some others that are CA based that I can name off the top of my head.

The parent post does make a decent job of pointing out that it's pretty rotten, from the top to the bottom.

The players at the bottom are terribly toxic, the C-levels are allegedly just as bad.

I am curious if this is more about culture - I would imagine EA and Niantic for example to have a relatively boring office, just normal cubes and meetings. Just engineers and designers going to work.

Riot and Blizzard both have large flagship franchises that they practically decorate their offices around, statues and all. When I was talking to recruiters in the past, Riot stood out as one of those "don't bother applying if you aren't absolutely shitting passion for our games out of every hole" as culture fit.
My mistake, rounding error. 15-17 years ago, my CS courses after the bubble burst were rather different.

CS in high school even during the dot-com bubble, though... NOT popular.
This is patently untrue. Men started to dominate when it turned from a "secretarial" position into an engineering job, as they did in ... wait for it ... actual engineering.

> the Quinnspiracy thing became just the straw that broke the camel back

The 'Quinnspiracy thing' was harassment and rape and death threats on blatantly false premises.
O(months) ago Dave Jones of EEVBlog had a thing of 'where should I put my head' - 'do you like the green t-shirt so it's just a floating head or is it too spooky' - 'lemmeknowinthecommentsclickthebelltosubscribealgorithmsalgorithms'. Gah, if I had an account I'd have been despairing in the comments. Who cares where your head is if it's not in the way (this was specifically for shots where he's talking over a teardown photo)? There's a really easy way to make sure it isn't!

Ben Eater has it right, all content, voice over video.

It's not that I 'hate people' or whatever, depending on the content/style of the rest of it it can be fine: Clough42 for example is moving around a workshop doing physical things, so it seems quite natural when he turns to face the camera, or for the intros.

It helps that his production quality is insanely good too - for all the time spent talking about new expensive AV gear on EEVBlog, it's not great! Not because of the gear, but the refusal to do a re-take if it goes wrong - cc: sorry about the mic it gets better in a sec - editing mishaps like repetition of a shot or not removing one that was clearly intended to be, etc.

Can't complain though, I enjoy it all for free, and I'd recommend every channel I've mentioned.

Ehh, maybe.. Lots of people want to make games, and the games industry is notorious for having a perpetual labor glut (relative to most SW development, at least). That's why compensation and working conditions both tend to be significantly lower than average there (again, for SW dev).
I've always thought that metacentric height would make the perfect try-at-home in your bath tube experiment against Flat Earth. If the center of buoyancy and the center of gravity were indeed the same, every ship would be rolling like a log and there weren't any differences in types of ships and hull shapes at all.

However, I guess, those adhering to said fancy model must not be bothered by such complexity of thought…
Are you lumping in the workers of Blizzard with the "masses" of gamers saying actions by either wont have a consequence? That's what it reads like.

I think ultimately the workers staging a walk out or even stopping work would have the quickest and surest effect. The government setting labor standards isn't always the most effective, not to mention no one knows the pain suffered or actions needed more than the workers themselves.
Doesn't mean it can't change. It has to start somewhere.
Your notion is that everything is fine because according to Tesla, a company with a leader known for telling whoppers, they are killing less people on net?

Even if we trust them on that stat, which I certainly don't, that still doesn't mean they aren't killing people unnecessarily.
12? LOL. My son was taller and heavier than my wife before he was twelve.
If you haven't read the state of California's claims here you should. It's the result of a two year investigation and the claims are.. shocking.

I want to make a point about "culture fit". "Culture fit" in a company typically comes down to "we like you" and the reason why people like other people is that they are like them. Similar age, background, whatever. It's why Stanford grads probably like other Stanford grads.

This "we like you" can and does lead to discrimination.

But here's the even darker side of this. Toxic cultures of sexual harassment as alleged in the complaint against Activision-Blizzard always come down to a few key individuals who then "spread" by hiring or promoting other people who are like then. I doubt this is ever explicit. It's more that you can sense a fellow predator (make no mistake: they are preying on vulnerable staff).

So without intervention this toxicity will tend to spread. Those who oppose it will leave. Those who tow the lines get promoted.

And it's leadership's responsibility to root this out and eliminate it. Heads should roll here. Maybe even J Allen Brack's and/or Bobby Kotick's. If you want to take credit for the successes you also have to take responsibility for the giant failures here.

Oh and whoever wrote and sent out that statement about how the state was pursuing this was why so many businesses are leaving California needs to be fired. It was so utterly tone deaf and irrelevant.
It seems to me like you would be the type of person to respond to "good morning" with "don't tell me what type of day to have!"

Nobody is a mind reader. If your best response to someone trying to put positivity in the world is to tell them how badly they're fucking up, that says a lot more about you than it does about them.

Normal, well-adjusted people appreciate a genuine compliment and it can really brighten one's day. Grumpy people are going to be grumpy anyway. I am not going to let grumpy people hold me back, personally.

But all that said, thanks for at least providing a different perspective. Even if I do find it highly unagreeable.
"The male-female ratio is skewed male on the west coast."

Your source doesn't support this. M/F for: WA - 100, OR - 98, CA - 99. So it's basically even but slightly skewed female.
If by adapting (for example) blind people into society they mean writing in braille everywhere and so on, then it's the same as if correcting their disability. An exo-exo-skeleton, extended to the whole society.

So it's just demagoguery.
But that too makes a dangerous assumption. This behavior is not uncommon. Having a reputation for such behavior may just attract similar people, people who want to work in such environments. While they would probably get fewer women, they might get more of exactly the wrong type of men.
We've run some tests with PyPy on Read the Docs itself but not for ads. For Sphinx documentation builds, builds took around ~50% of the time. It was especially pronounced on builds with large numbers of doc files (hundreds) and therefore complicated side navigation.
How so? You realize it was written in Perl in the late 90's?
I have no idea what you are trying to say, but a domain name is never “yours” they are all licensed.

In the page I linked for you which is available on their homepage menu and footer on every page the chart explaining the difference between the free and paid domains contains at least 3 rows on point:

> Legal rights:

Free: Registrant acts as user of domain name, not as licensee

> Transfer rights:

Free: None

> WHOIS:

Free: Freenom or one of its subsidiaries appears as the licensee in the WHOIS

Disclosures aside it is immaterial to the more important point, Freenom is not going into user account and taking domain names (free or paid) and selling them to 3rd parties. The review complaining that this happened is fake, hence why they can’t establish this actually happened. Freenom is a legit company with real assets, they are a ICANN licensee of its own TLDs and official servicer of a few country TLDs, if they actually stole someone’s high traffic or high value domain name and sold it to a 3rd party as alleged in the fake review, then the user could sue for damages and specific performance to get the domain back just the same as if Godaddy or Namecheap or any other registrar were to just steal user domain names.
"One teaspoon of healthy soil contains more bacteria, fungi and other microbes than there are humans on Earth. Those hungry organisms can make soil a difficult place to store carbon over long periods of time."

The natural respiration of soil microbes is small compared to how much carbon can be naturally sequestered in healthy soil due to sustainable agricultural practices.

Healthy soil is well-known to hold substantial amounts of carbon, right along side such organisms. The development of unsustainable agricultural practices (monocultures, single-planting seasons, letting fields lie fallow, tilling, chemical sprays, essentially Monsanto's entire business model) has destroyed soil biodiversity and health. Healthy soil can absorb an inch of rain every few minutes. Fields flood (and crops are subsequently lost) because the ground is hard and crusty, preventing soil absorption. If more cropland soil had the healthy consistency of cottage cheese, flooding wouldn't be an issue.

Yes, forced carbon sequestration might not work in the presence of healthy soil. However, fixing the deficient soils created across the world from unsustainable industrial agriculture practices will naturally sequester carbon. I would love to know exactly how much carbon no longer is trapped in our soils that once was due to the last 100+ years of unsustainable industrialized agriculture.

Quinn's ex-boyfriend, who made the original claims, later explicitly said:

> To be clear, if there was any conflict of interest between Zoe and Nathan regarding coverage of Depression Quest prior to April, I have no evidence to imply that it was sexual in nature.

For further context, the only coverage the journalist in question made of Quinn's work was before they had met, and well before the April in question.
Two years ago, during the Blitzchung / Hong Kong incident, I deleted the Battle.net account I had held since Warcraft III. I would encourage everyone else to do so too. It's definitely easier now that Blizzard no longer makes the best (or even good) games in any genre.

Activision Blizzard's Chief Compliance Officer released an absolutely disgusting statement in response to the lawsuit: https://twitter.com/jasonschreier/status/1418619091515068421

It's surreal knowing that she is also complicit in the war crimes committed at Abu Ghraib (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frances_Townsend#Career).

> The US Navy has a decent-ish chance in an engagement with the Chinese Navy for at least the next few decades, assuming the engagement takes place outside of the range of the Chinese air force.

The issue with Taiwan is that any realistic engagement of China vs Taiwan means that Chinese Navy is in 100% support of its Air Force.

You're right. US Navy still dominates China outside of its missile / air force range. But China likely sees an opportunity to make a move vs Taiwan within the next 10 years (before this US Navy issue is patched up with the next generation of warships).

The next stage for China vs US potential combat isn't Madagascar... its Taiwan. A nation that's well within range of China's cruise missiles, air force, and mainland (so easily resupplying Chinese Navy). The US would be fighting with significant disadvantages if a Taiwan war were to ever break out.
The third sentence of your link:

"The value of a company’s brand name, solid customer base, good customer relations, good employee relations, and proprietary technology represent some reasons why goodwill exists."

The first three are directly tied to advertising and brand-building. You call it "BS" for some reason (you seem not to believe in it), but it is a real thing and we have financial methods to account for it.
