I’m sure a high priced lawyer would argue that Mark Zuckerberg in prison would be a worse outcome than a $5B fine for FB shareholders (I’d tend to agree, but I don’t own any FB outside of index positions exactly for the regulatory/legal risk that FB is exposed to, which I feel the market underestimates)
Does popflash.site have an AC? I didn't have a problem last time I tested it.

I think your server could check for several cvars that are only enabled for cheaters using some cheats, to auto-ban them. Though this precludes externals and some better internals.
Actually the opposite. The Unleaded nozzle is thinner (and the reason was to avoid leaded fuel that would damage the catalyzer)
The summary is:

That’s the answer. You move your business out of Texas. Any company that expands or initiates new operations in Texas implicitly supports Texas’s abortion ban.

So should they also stop selling to Texans iPhones? Or just close the stores there or the manufacturing facilities?

Meanwhile Austin has different politics to elsewhere in Texas. Should Apple carve out an exception there as well?
They’ve been doing interesting stuff but have completely failed to succeed with anything. VAC is a joke. VACnet continues to be a pipe dream.

Well that's one reason to not use a subscription based app. In the situation of a one time paid app a normal user would continue to use the same app, a power user would know it's a simple zip file. If you use a subscription based app you may not renew and you may be shit out of luck. A normal user may not even know what an HTML file is, much less how to edit it with a different program.

I suppose you actually mean close source? Because it’s trivial to distribute proprietary code on PyPI: Just say that in your license.

There is no true “close source” for pure Python programs, but if obfuscation is close enough, you can choose to only deploy wheels containing pre-compiled pyc files. This is good enough for most situations.
> Note that 'universalizability' requires a somewhat static analysis

Sounds very convenient. You are allowed to make one logical step (everyone blocks adds => publishing companies go bankrupt) but are not allowed to make the equally sound step of (everyone blocks adds => publishing companies will seek other revenue sources such as paywalls).

But if you say i’m not allowed to argue the second one let’s talk about the first kind.

So universal add blocking puts those companies who keep clinging to add supported operation into bankruptcy. Goodridance. It is not like one must have free-as-in-beer services to have a coherent moral compass. They go bankrupt and we will manage without them. Totally consistent.

Similarly you wouldn’t say that the idea of punishing murderers lacks ‘universability’ just because it would shut down the Assasin’s Guild.
The downside to high frequencies is that they generally experience much more severe attenuation, which limits their range in atmosphere. Now, if you could get these flying microchips to simply reflect (with encoded data) a high power input signal from a base station, you might be onto something...
You're talking about VAC, which is not even close to the same tier as EAC, there are no "open source cheats" that bypass the major anticheat services because they are quickly identified and patched.

> Arguably, Zuckerberg was instrumental in getting FB to where it is today.

I agree that it would not be where it is today, but they are a troubled massive corporation beset on all sides by issues. They duck and dodge any issues and responsibility without fixing root causes. He definitely helped with the rise, but he will definitely also be responsible if it falls.

Tens of millions of people in the United States live below the median wage, by definition. It's a nonsense statistic in the context of a remark on any particular low-paying job, of which there seem to be plenty on this site.

I don't know you (or anyone else) would evaluate racism being "lower" in the US. It also occurs to me that lower isn't the same thing as low, and that I don't have to fix other exceptionally racist countries before I remark about racism in my own.

What exactly is this. I do have some hobby ideas I'd love to work on full-time, but no one in their right mind is going to just give me money to do that unless I have a business plan.

I fell into the trap of wasting my time reaching out to investors on Twitter, who for the most part would just retweet me for their own validation, promise to follow up and then ghost.

This is all time I could have used to work on my projects.

For some constructive feedback, I and most rational people I believe would be more willing to take a smaller check, but without the quit your job requirement.
The cynic in me realizes that white collar criminals of Zuckerberg's stature really only likely serve time if it involves a huge amount of tax evasion. This money keeps Zuckerberg's name off of any official filings, but I don't think there was ever any real threat of him going to jail. So the $5b is, in a way, pure profit.

Buddhist philosophy also has a strong focus on showing that arbitrary conventions shouldn't be taken too seriously, and that a great deal of suffering arises as a result of believing too strongly in useful fictions.

Nāgārjuna is one particularly impressive philosopher of the Madhyamaka school, a school which he set the groundwork for in his book Mūlamadhyamakakārikā (Madhyamaka means middle way, a kārikā is a work composed of verses that concisely formulate some doctrine). There's a great translation and explanation by Mark Siderits and Shōryū Katsura if anyone is interested.

I think there are a lot of parallels with Wittgenstein's philosophy, and it speaks to Wittgenstein's genius that he was able to conceive of a similar philosophy largely independently.
VACnet hurts cheaters, and also probably 25% of legits as well. In low trust this can be verified pretty quickly. Even in the gutter of trust, redder than red, you still have about 50-60% of players cheating. That's nearly half of everyone in the WORST trust factor of the game, who are there while not cheating. Though some are probably griefers/mic-spammers/toxics, it's certainly not all of them.
> The Bloomberg article doesn't talk about BMCs however. That's __me__ talking about BMCs.

You are not the only one talking about BMCs. The entire discussion has centered on that since the beginning. I'm not sure how you thought that you invented that line of discussion.

> We're sitting here arguing about how Bloomberg might have written the article better. At some point, we just gotta realize that Bloomberg wasn't helpful at the discussion at all.

> Which is fine: Bloomberg is primarily a trading / commodities / financial newspaper. To expect expertise in technical issues (better than typical Hacker News discussion) is probably expecting too much from that group of journalists. But lets not pretend that the article under discussion was useful to any of us here.

People coming forward about a successful foreign state sponsored attack on AWS and Apple server infra is a pretty big story for HN, even if it doesn't have all the details you'd like.
Sorry, I edited my comment after you asked. We don't have an "anti-cheat" in the traditional sense, though I've developed a few solutions to curb cheating in the past. Fortunately, it's not really a problem I've had to solve because I only offer scrimmages these days, meaning you choose who you play with. If I were to offer matchmaking, I'd be more liable to prevent cheaters from using the platform since I would be matching up people to play with.

Since my users are mostly just playing friends I don't really have rampant cheater problems like other services.
I'd like to add that an ideal legal language should end up heavy with definitions. Whether or not a person has performed an action is often an important legal question, even after the a t is clearly defined and the person identified. To this end I think such a language should have some formal definitions of what it literally means for a specified person to perform a specified act.

You could go on for some time defining terms here, and would have to if you want to mechanically determine legal outcomes, once the required quantifiable facts have been established. I think you'd end up with something look like one of the ill-fated expert systems of yesteryear.
Because it's not as trivial as you think it is to get good results if you rely only on the server side, if it was the case everyone would do that.

Server side cheat detection actually don't detect that much, like how do you known someone is wallhacking?

As for manual review it just does no scale, when you see that CoD banned 100k cheaters, imagine if one person from activision would have to review every cases.

Cloud gaming is the solution against cheats.
My business partner did a PhD in the space and surveyed a ton of folks. She did all this before a line of code was written. When we had something to show, we went back to this pool of users and asked who'd be interested in beta testing what we built.
For the reason you give, a Pigovian tax on the externalities themselves is a better approach than specific regulations or pre-defined taxes on each class of consumer product.

Another benefit of this approach is that it provides price signals to the product's producers as well as consumers -- after all, if a company comes up with a way to produce beef with fewer externalities, they should be able to capture some of the value!

There is certainly disagreement with regard to how to handle some of the more difficult-to-assess externalities, but even taxing a handful of externalities still helps push product prices slightly closer to their true cost.
Hence, “plausible”.
Well. I had a very different impression. The „mob“ was a couple of citizens, mostly young women, who stood back at the sidewalk. The „MMA fighter“ was a very conciencious, polite person. There was not a single instance of the officers being threatened. There was video footage corroborating all of this.

Multiple witnesses testified that Floyd continued to plea that he cannot breathe. The witnesses said they all - as bystanders - were concerned for Floyd‘s life.

And I think Chauvin‘s lawyer did a horrible job. He came across as smug. He went on endless tangents, tiring out witnesses and jurors.

But that‘s not why Chauvin is going to jail. And neither are the protests. Someone died at the hands of police officers because his breathing had been constricted through the use of force. The victim had verbalized that he couldn‘t breathe, and it had also been evident to bystanders.

I can say that I never want to be in the position in which Floyd found himself. He was made into a pure object of police force. He was not being heard, not with his own voice, and not even with other people standing next to him speaking on his behalf. In my view, it would be a banana republic if the courts would uphold such behavior on the part of government force.
Legitimate question, is there enough interesting information in this book worth reading if you already agree with the premise, that in complex situations checklists can be good?

I've known about it for awhile and this review does a good job at providing a real-world example of where it's useful, so other than ideas of how to make good checklists I'm not sure if actually reading it is something I should do

> I am afraid it does not matter any more, at least not for practical software freedom.

The reason Google appears to be doing this is not software freedom, but enabling longer software updates. Google themselves cannot provide anything remotely competitive to iOS updates if Qualcomm or other SoC vendors effectively keep their proprietary Android builds hostage. Getting stuff mainlined and unshackling Android kernels from vendor shenanigans is a very, very important step. The Google Pixel 6 is the first time in a long while an Android phone excites me, just by virtue of Google's credible 5 years of update promise.

To your point: practical software freedom has been very, very hard on Android from the start. Smartphones are complex devices, and the custom kernels they run have barely been successfully reproduced anywhere else. You can find a small handful of old devices that you can get up and running in a somewhat acceptable state, but you have to restrict yourself to hard to use old stuff to get anything workable at all.

While more software freedom is not really a goal of this project, this does potentially have side effects of more software freedom down the line. Similarly, Google's Project Treble has not delivered everything people wanted, but does allow people to run say (a buggy version of) Ubuntu Touch on a fair number of Android phones [0]. In the Android ecosystem, you have to count your blessings. (And hey, it's not iOS or Windows Phone either!)

If it's running on the client, it can be patched out. Any checks done on the client side can be bypassed. Sure, obfuscation will deter most people from trying to reverse engineer the checks, but all it takes is one person to succeed and distribute their cheat program to others.
Thanks for your feedback and encouragement!

I'm not taking this personal, I appreciate the feedback and I knew beforehand that subscriptions are controversial.

I contemplated the pricing model for a very long time going back and forth between the two options in my head multiple times.

In the end, the argument that convinced me what that with a subscription my focus is on adding features for my existing users. I'm constantly thinking "How can I make the app better for my users to keep my subscribers"?

Whereas for a single purchase I have to constantly think "What can I add to attract more users"?. All my other apps use one-time payments and sometimes it really pains me to put feature requests on my backpack knowing that I will never get to implement them, because they would not increase the visibility of the app.

Mobile: I have an iOS app planned, but it will take some time because I have a number of features that I want to add to the Mac app first (block based editor, smart search folders, larger calendar view).
they should probably go ahead and enforce a no-travel policy as well, fire anyone who attends SXSW for instance. they should also go through their ranks and thoroughly question anyone who was born in or has lived in Texas in their life, just to be sure they have the correct worldview. and while you're doing that, might as well question all the Christians, especially those pesky Catholics, and ask anyone who doesn't agree with the company's values on this sensitive topic to renounce their faith or face termination. this is the only way to have a morally correct workplace where you know everyone shares the same values you do, and you don't have to fret about whether or not the guy in the cubicle next to you is morally bankrupt.

What a needlessly divisive, inaccurate, and frankly disgusting characterization.

The literally definition reads:
"Indigenous or less commonly indigenous : of or relating to the earliest known inhabitants of a place and especially of a place that was colonized by a now-dominant group"

In most modern contexts it's used to refer to the diverse peoples that inhabited a land prior to European colonization.

In extension, here in Canada the Métis People (explicitly descendants of MIXED European and Indigenous ancestry) are recognized as an Indigenous group with unique language and cultural practices. They are by no means thought of as "pure bred" as you reductively tried to frame it.

The University of Alberta has an excellent, widely accoladed, and free MOOC on Indigenous Canada that I highly recommend you, and anyone else interested in learning more, consider taking:

Heavy on animation, can't select text, uses the canvas element which isn't great for accessibility.

Most project management systems have methods for dealing with checklists, this is definitely not what slack is designed to do no matter how much they market it as a "productivity tool"

So if you're not using something for project management first you need one of those, but just about everyone does, and once you have one you can start using it's checklist features

Then it depends on what that specific software offers, but even if it doesn't have a true feature for creating "templatized checklists" which I assume people want so they can repeat the same list, most have duplication functionality so you can just create one as a template and duplicate it as needed.
All governments want cashless economies. They make it easier to track money, collect taxes, keep an eyes on the populace, etc. India did it by invalidating all large-denomination bills.

Clojure tends to be a bit more terse than other languages. 2K of Clojure is a lot of code. Especially if macros get involved.

A carbon tax would be the most efficient ways to reducing CO2 emissions. It's a far simpler system than trying to work out average average emissions for different fleets of vehicles, never mind trying to balance competing CO2 production coming from various industries, agriculture and transportation. Complicated laws make for loopholes and massive inefficiencies as technology and the economy changes. We should tax precisely the thing we want to reduce.

This is assuming you're actually on board with mainstream science and the problems associated with anthropogenic climate change. If you think climate change is a hoax or harmless, then yeah any carbon tax is a drain on the economy with no upside.

We are barely getting by as it is.

Okay, that's the problem. People need more equitable access to opportunity and a stronger safety net. Better public or charter schools, or more earned income tax credits or a higher minimum wage or maybe even straight up UBI. All of these are things that might address poverty more effectively than repealing smog laws.
