Absolutely, people are def not stupid.

I am just commenting on the greed of capitalists that manifests in throwing around millions and billions of dollars.
Agreed. Maybe it was just the April-2020 of it all, but "Writing is Suffering" really hit me in the feels. It's inspiring to see all your hard work reach this milestone, and I can't wait to hold it in my hands.
Being the fact checker could be a very profitable position.
Technology changes - magnifies, accelerates, projects, distorts - many social effects. One of those is removing the previously invisible, small cost of spreading an idea.

If two people want to have a conversation or exchange a letter, or one person wants to speak to everyone within earshot or post a sign for people walking by to read, that's one thing. Maybe you say something dumb, and it gets shot down, or maybe it gets propagated, but it needs to have an R0 greater than 1 to endure. If you need some level of capital and agreement to have a publisher run a thousand pamphlets with your idea, that's another, you can leverage previous efforts to amplify weak ideas, but more people are involved and able to provide some sort of sanity filter. On the Internet, the cost to promote an idea is near zero, and algorithms can amplify something dumb but catchy to millions of people in a heartbeat.

It used to require a few seconds of talking per person you wanted to reach, now it costs a few seconds to post a message that might be seen by millions. The difference is minuscule in absolute value (perhaps a monetary value of a few cents) but huge in relative terms (how many percent less than a few cents is zero cents?).

Maintaining policy on censorship while ignoring this massive change in the landscape is shortsighted. Yes, a physical public venue ought not censor someone who wants to talk to other people there, but a digital platform with an audience of millions should think carefully about the effects of messages that their technology amplifies.

And Elizabeth Holmes wore black turtle necks - subtlety is not what they’re usually going for.

Trevor does have some 30+ million dollar ranch in Utah though so I guess he did a better job of it.

In Holmes case I genuinely think it didn't start as a fraud, but became one when they started lying. Not sure about Nikola.
As if any sizable competitor wouldn't also be faced with the compromise proposed by media conglomerates: "allow us to monetize stuff we claim without utilizing the DMCA or lose access to hosting our content (music videos, movies, clips, etc)".
I just discovered Genshin Impact and enjoying the story line and combat system quite a bit. The artwork and voice acting is some of the prettiest I've ever seen in a game. What makes it a loot box nightmare? TBH Diablo 2 was a lot worse, the rarest boss drops had the ability to give a player orders of magnitude more power. GI loot scattered around the world is completely unremarkable kind of like the coins dropped by regular mobs.

I know about the wishing system but that seems to be a completely optional mechanic that allows people to gamble with money, which seems fair for a F2P game. But can be skipped and is not essential to the gameplay.
As is participating in a comments thread discussion such as this. Rationality is too often overrated.

> When and about what has it been crying wolf?

I can give you instances, but that would not be very efficient. Because you can then be apologetic of the examples I provide..

The real question is "can the scientific community be made to have a consensus based on politics rather than science?". I think the answer is a resounding "YES", simply because it is made up of human beings who are not less susceptible to ways of coercion, than the human beings in actual politics or other fields that we can agree that corruption exists.

>From what little I've seen of academic research, the people in there haven't seemed to be dishonest or intending to defraud.

Politicians at a high level being corrupt does not imply, or require, that every government official is corrupt. So I am not sure why you mention it.

> but is it really such a widespread problem that it counts as the entire community becoming suspect?

https://blogs.bmj.com/bmj/2021/07/05/time-to-assume-that-hea...

This is not a justification or proof (as I said earlier, it would not be a very efficient use of my time), but something you can start with if you are genuinely interested and if you really have no idea how bad things are in this regard (Jeez, i wonder how can that be the case!)
Definitely components are the way to go. These have gotten very well known recently in the game dev world thanks to entity component systems, which is what I would call "heavy components," but you can also do "light components." Meaning, you don't need to organize your entire system around an ECS in order to take advantage of some of their benefits.

They make changing behavior dynamically extremely simple. Instead of needing to hardcode classes for each different type of thing players may want to create in your world, you just assign and unassign components. Give a rock the Moveable component and now it moves. Remove the PlayerControl component from the player and put it on, I don't know, an orc -- now you've implemented body swapping. They're even more useful in a game like traditional roguelikes, where you don't have to worry about animating all these dynamic states.

I've actually never thought about how a component system might fit into a more traditional business application; it's an interesting thought experiment but I'm not quite sure it would be a strong benefit.

Yes. All you need is product market fit, and ability to execute on your vision.
> But anyone else would have to release their code.

Which I think is perfectly fair: you are getting a full product, and you can do with it as you please (including profit off of it), as long as you publish your changes too!

The fact that the original copyright holder has the rights to close it off for future developments is completely natural, and if you do not want to allow them to do that, don't sign a CLA and fork. Oh, there's a cost in maintaining a fork? Pick your poison then :)

To me what matters is that once you get the software, you have freedom to use and modify it. I am ok if you do not have the "freedom" to close it off. If you start being a bigger contributor than the original company, you avoid all of the problems with a fork, but you can't say you did not benefit from the original AGPL release.
For sure. It not fair for me to say there isn’t a lot of software out there already, but I just don’t have anything personally that I want to come back to every day yet.
You've basically restated the argument you made earlier, and now added further innuendo like "payment-for-order-flow market maker", as if there was another kind (even IB uses PFOF execution services for their normal accounts).
Maybe it's accurate. But isn't it irrelevant? Based on my read of the article, WilmerHale was almost certainly brought in to review Activision Blizzard's policies relating to sexual harassment and discrimination with a view towards tightening them up. This is a common thing for a big firm like WilmerHale to be hired to do. If so, the headline and the article's description of WilmerHale's "union busting" is just a gratuitous attempt to bias readers.

I do not think FB is a "government agent" from everything I've read. They operate within government rules and regulations, and they're certainly going to listen to the government, but listening is normal for any company. They can still do what they want.
If wind speeds a vehicle to some speed, and the vehicle has inertia, and the wind slows down somewhat, how is it surprising that the vehicle would go faster in the wind?

No, it absolutely does not. ContentID (and YT's copyright dispute system in general) goes much farther what the DMCA requires. Google's system is incredibly biased toward large content copyright holders, at the expense of small, independent creators.

OSS licenses have been litigated and upheld. Can't supply details of my own experience for confidentiality reasons but plenty of plaintiffs have prevailed in suits about violations of OSS license terms. My guess is the numbers are higher than you might think because a lot of the cases end in non-public settlements.

Geofoam is styrofoam. The "article"is an advertisement. I guess with all the consumables like cups and plates being wound down because of environmental concerns, styrofoam producers are scrambling to rebrand and pivot into other markets.
> No, this is the result of Google/YT bending over backwards to please the big content creators in order to get their business.

It's more than that. This bending over backwards is the only reason YouTube still exists. Until recently, the main value of YouTube to anyone was free music. YouTube was built on copyright infringement. Eventually, it faced a choice: clean house and lose the only thing that kept users regularly coming back, or go bankrupt trying to pay for royalties. They found a third way - settling and bending over backwards to funnel money to big media companies.

Perhaps today, YouTube could survive on "original content" alone - there are more options for music, and vlogosphere became a thing general population is very much into. But that would be still an extremely risky move for Google: streamers and vloggers can easily move to another service, but there's only one place on the Internet that can legitimately stream all the mainstream music, for free (with ads). It's still their only true competitive advantage.

Another nuance is that due to Facebook post privacy settings, an individual post can be restricted to a limited friend list, and not viewable by the general public. However the "fact checking" appears to apply to both private and public posts.
That doesn't matter though, because most people 'live' in this new space via Facebook, in the same way that a plurality of people 'live' in the physical world we inhabit via the nation of China (PRC being the most populous nation). Simply because of that, we cannot discount the over-influence of Facebook.

Even more poignant, Facebook's dominance in this regard is much more disproportionate than China's dominance of the world population. (Facebook having a little under half the world's population).

Even though I don't live on planet Facebook anymore, the truth is Facebook heavily affects my life. I don't see how anyone can reasonably argue against this.
Since it is no inherently present physical fact in classical systems, it will have to fight with classical problems (bugs / backdoors etc) which would throw you back to classical encryption for security
> For games that want this level of complex interaction between components, entity component systems are the way to go.

Entity component systems are still in a half-baked state, with everyone rolling their own slightly different conceptual model. They're solving a problem, but not solving it well.

One promising direction is getting rid of entities. Components need to link to entities and other components anyway, so one may as well treat entities as zero-size components. Old writeup (not mine): https://github.com/kvark/froggy/wiki/Component-Graph-System
> I think waiting for long-term effects to be clear is a defensible position.

Unless you get infected, in which case you made a pretty big mistake.

So then your basically saying you don't want to get vaccinated or get covid. I'm guessing you probably also want to stop social distancing. in which case you would eventually certainly get covid if it weren't for the existence of the vaccines.

So the choices are:
- Don't get vaccinated and everyone continues social distancing for several years, or until you get Covid.
- Don't get vaccinated and stop social distancing once everyone else gets the vaccine
- Get vaccinated

Only the third option is remotely defensible. The second option is borderline sociopathic and there are enough people taking it that it is far more dangerous than option 3.
This is a great list.

I think one of the hardest things to add after the fact are security headers. Once marketing is involved with an app's marketing site, it's going to be hard to add them in later. So I add them from day one, ace the Mozilla Observatory thing, and then if marketing needs something special, we can always deal with it then. Usually the result is something more secure, but sometimes turning off a flag for a single page is fine.

If it's the style of app where the backend is basically just a JSON API + workers, I like to follow JSON API[0] but I always add the `meta` and `errors` fields, even if it's just an empty dict, but usually there is something meta, like the latest versions of the client and server or a rate limit use + available combo. It makes writing clients easier. It also has knock-on effects, for example a delete request never gets a 204 NO CONTENT, since there is always content!

Once you get a consistent API the frontend just snaps together. Every now and then you may have to deviate a bit for performance or third-party reasons, but it's fine.

Have you tried Jurassic World Aftermath? I thought the game experience was great (and quite intense!).
The Quest 2 has only been out since October 13 of last year. 4m units in the US in less than a year is a great number.
How does that work, though? Wouldn't each of those demonetized uploads count as a copyright strike? AIUI, after three of those your account gets deactivated.
Hi - this looks like a service that would be valuable to my remote team.

I'm interested to know the pricing before signing up. I'm curious what the reasoning is behind hiding the pricing behind a signup process.
My attitude towards really outspoken and / or in your face-ish CEOs has changed over the years. With the obvious caveat that I never worked with anyone like Musk or Jobs, nor do I know what they were really like / thinking.

I worked with some folks who were notorious at companies for challenging people, speaking forcefully and so on. More subdued folks like myself and others really hated them.

But most if I got to know weren't jerks, they weren't challenging you personally as a person. They were trying to push you, see if you'd push back, professionally. The folks I worked with would take it very personally, and understandably a lot of people do. Yet the other folks who excelled under those leaders, they let it roll off their back and just got back to it.

I've had more than one conversation of "He didn't say you suck... he didn't like where you put a button."

Some of those guys who challenged people WANTED push back, they wanted to see the other person really disagreed and had their own vision. When that would happen, often they would get the go ahead to do that thing...

One day I was honestly just tired and said something that sounded like I was pushing back pretty hard and the response "Ok then we'll go that route.". That was it, conversation over . To that individual willingness to push back in the face of opposition up the food chain meant you really believed / knew what you were doing.

Musk or Jobs, I've no idea, but in a world where I agree there's way too much toxicity, sometimes I see folks label any challenge as toxic and they don't realize that it's ok to disagree, and sometimes those folks want that.

Well in some places like California, and now Illinois, they are advocating in legislation to decriminalize a person who knowingly transmits HIV to a partner. It’s possible we could see a criminalization of someone who knowingly transmit Covid to someone else.

I am for one didn't knew until this week that current COVID PCR tests will test also positive for the flu.
I mean, once they are in the business of fact checking, I don't see why any specific source would be off limits.

On the other hand I think this shows the absurdity especially of labeling things as inaccurate without saying what specifically you are actually calling inaccurate because how would you know if the fact check is valid or not.
>Citadel is a big company, but it's not that big

Nice try, but Citadel is the largest market maker and if it were an exchange (ostensibly, it might as well be one!) then it would be almost as large as the CBOE!

I have no idea, YouTube wouldn’t respond to anything. I don’t know how much money was made off of those weeks with the video, I know nothing other than one day I looked at my video on YouTube and saw that someone had placed a copyright claim, monetizing it for themselves.
The customisability is definitely a plus, you can make slate fit in perfectly with almost any UI. Whilst you don't get complex image handling by default, I think their image handling example [0] is a really nice minimal implementation which is quite intuitive.

> Why would streamers pay $30 for premiere access, when you can go to theaters (pre-covid) for ~$12 with a better experience?

$30 for the household, a one-time cost. For one person it's a no-brainer, theater is cheaper unless it's a long drive away. With 2 people it's probably cheaper to go to the theater depending on distance and whether you get concessions. With 3 it's break even depending on theater costs in your area and assuming you don't get concessions. With 4 or more, the $30 price is definitely better outside of a few lower cost of living areas (if they even have a theater nearby). And you can rewatch it throughout that premier access period. Though that's less applicable to Black Widow, versus movies aimed more at small kids.
> Requires Wi-Fi.

Somehow they invented a non-portable handheld device. It doesn't even have a battery! Was there really no way to make these games work offline? Or at least some of them?

Edit: I'm wrong, it both doesn't need wifi and has a battery. Website text wasn't phrased too well but that's partly on me.
I'd love it if you'd say more. Can I offer a counterpoint? Suppose that farmers breed their crops to be more resilient to bruising in transit or ordinary decay. Perhaps this is what leads to lower nutritional content overall? Or could it be that foods are held in long-term storage, and while they don't spoil, the micronutrients are not as stable as the rest of the produce?

I don't see what relationship GMO-ness ought to have to nutrition, one way or the other. But I have an open mind, feel free to show me the light.

KISS is universal, not only to programming.

But the single responsibility principle and the idea that you should divide your code in components where the lower components should be abstract by the point of view of the higher ones are almost never wrong.

Not by coincidence, those last two are consequences of how people think. While KISS is kind of a physics law.
This is incredibly dense, and I hope to read it. My first impression is that people like much warmer temperatures than I do (Orlando Florida!?).
Given that many video streaming websites have come and gone, it is pretty safe to assume it is not profitable.

The only one that might work is if they charged a reasonable fee and only allowed people that had uploaded government issued IDs and accepted liability for their accounts. That might help sufficiently deter bad actors and reduce labor costs to sift through all the garbage.

I'm calling out Google for their refusal to work with standards bodies. They don't want to do the hard work it takes to create standards (sometimes they reject your proposals). So they use their market power to cram what they create down our throats. I'm not down with that - especially on a platform such as the web which has historically been based on open standards, open standards which made the web so successful in the first place.
