I promise more cis women have attacked trans women than the reverse. Sometimes they even go after women they assume are trans! A weird side-effect of the new wave of transphobia is that even people who consider themselves cis but present in a non-conforming way are being attacked in bathrooms. And not by trans women.

It doesn’t, but that’s bubbles for you.
Because a "copy of the art" is a work of art that is the same as the original art and an NFT is not a work or art and is not the same as the original art. An NFT is a virtual token, than may or may not contain some metadata. This is not the same thing as the original art. Therefore it is not a copy of the art.

Banning things is a bit short-sighted and misses the point. IMHO, Its better to think about types of long-term incentive structures that we can create so that more companies will be incentivized to do the right thing - or at least behave in a way that we agree as a society.
I'm glad you came to the same conclusion about yourself that I did from the very start of this conversation.

The problem with these types of articles is that it doesn't contain a single actionable step on how one would go about breaking up these monopolies. It's a lot of "well, we did it with the electrical providers and telephone providers so we should do it with google."

Well, you can take a national utility and split it across geographic regions so local calls or electricity bills go into the pockets of the region you are in, and calls between two regions go into the pockets of both according to whatever long distance agreement is in place. That's at least workable. Or you break up an Oil Company that has 500 wells/concessions, into 5 groups of 100 wells/concessions. Or a railroad with a nationwide network, split up into 5 regional networks. That could work, too. That's what we did in the past to break up monopolies.

Now how would that work with google search? Prevent people in region A from loading a website in region B? Is that what we want? crickets

Sure there is low hanging fruit in terms of divesting -- e.g. no reason to keep a video monopoly like youtube with a search monopoly. I'm all for it. But now you just have two monopolies, and have not solved the problem of lack of competition in either video or search, which is ostensibly what you use to justfy these actions.

In fact the consumer pains with long distance in the wake of the ATT breakup is the reason why the law has changed on anti-trust. Now you must show consumer harm to pass constitutional muster and your proposal has to show consumer benefit. A proposal to break off youtube from google is going to have a hard time passing this test.

So yes, we, get it, we solved the problem of anti-trusts in the past, we don't like google, so We Must Do Something. Except those old anti-trust strategies just wont work against monopolies that have no geographic dimension. That no one is willing to touch that explains why we have a deluge of pleas, none of which contain a single workable proposal.
Making it illegal doesn't affect its utility for illegal activity. Criminals already break the law. It would cause a one-time decline in value but that only matters to speculators. The value would still be non-zero because it's global and there exist places where it isn't illegal.

Even if it was somehow illegal everywhere, the value still wouldn't be zero because of black markets. The drug user uses it to buy drugs, the drug dealer uses it to buy guns, the gun runner uses it to buy stolen art, the fence uses it to buy stolen goods from petty thieves who use it to buy drugs.

Black markets would also exist to exchange it for cash or ordinary commodities so that someone else could get it to buy drugs/guns/art/whatever.

And it has utility over using physical cash or gemstones or bullion in that you can transfer it over the internet.
Yes I know what you mean. I think there should be a site that realizes that there are many variants of well known dishes, and they should be categorized as that. Very rarely is there an original, true recipe that is the pristine source for the dish. So when I search bearnaise sauce, I should not get a recipe, I should get a general description, kind of like a Wikipedia page. And then below that, all the different recipes, that can be contributed like on a wiki. Each recipe should have a feedback mechanism so the best ones gets upvoted.

The point of using NFTs in your game is that you don’t have to implement a marketplace yourself and you can just plug in the existing ones. As a bonus people can now trade their stuff from anywhere even outside your game and potentially even across games.

NFTs aren’t any more stupid than the existing game cosmetics/collectibles.

This is sometimes true. On a project long-term, will you keep velocity up by writing quality code? Yes. In certain, narrow areas (very "mathy" code, perhaps, that doesn't interact much with he world) might you go faster by writing quality code from the beginning? Maybe.

However, can one also go much faster by: not writing tests one ought to have written; ignoring security issues; ignoring input edge-cases; ignoring output edge-cases; treating a variety of variables as constant, or as having bounds that they actually do not; not writing enough documentation; et c.? Oh my god, yes. Of course.

Anyone who's ever seen a "we're really happy with the output of our outsourced team on this Rails 'app', they've gotten this MVP ready so fast!" codebase knows that's definitely also a way to be fast, and that a team writing actual quality code and not putting in a ton more hours couldn't have matched that team's "productivity", because they'd have been doing way more work.
Deep learning helps predict traffic crashes before they happen
It doesn't. Imagine the night sky. What do you see? I see stars, that are bright dots on black background. That is, to a first approximation the overwhelming fraction of the area of the sky actually doesn't actually have a star. Now, the obvious error in that is the Milky Way, which is kind of a faint bright smudge. The non obvious error is that some things I see as stars really aren't. In both cases you can get a telescope and see that, upon closer inspection, this is actually a bunch of stars on black background, that were close enough to seem to be one star, or a smudge. As you point ever stronger telescopes at those, you discover that many smudges and stars are in fact bunch of individual stars (but some stars are actually singular stars and some smudges are nebulas). More annoyingly, when you point those telescopes at the black background, you notice more individual stars on black background. Now, you'd think you know the pattern and can do it ad infinitum. But you can't, because at some point the black background is resolved to the point of, well, the background radiation at the edge of the visible universe. And some of the bright dots turn out to be dense clusters and galaxy cores, where we can't make out individual stars.

But, as far as I understood, we have catalogued tens of millions of stars we have a clear view of. And when something passes between our system and a visible star, it's often (usually?) an exoplanet in that star's system, of which we've discovered almost five thousand.

> there could be licensing restrictions.

Ok, but the supposed benefit was to a game's prospective competition. Why in the hell would the game developer want to license content created for their game to be used in a competitor's game?

> in the absence of licensing restrictions, the nft owners are incentivized to prefer projects that provide utility for their nfts.

And everyone who doesn't have those NFTs have no such incentive. Even if I own game X's NFTs, there is no disincentive for me to play game Y that straight up uses game Z's NFTs for free. Or hell, even if it used game X's. I might want to play with an item I don't have in game X, after all.

If a game came out tomorrow that reused TF2's hats and shit, do you really think anyone would consider the fact that they have hats in their TF2 account a disincentive to play the new game?

No ones saying we can't leave lockdown because of the unvaccinated. Open up already! Pandemic ... over. It's what the right wants, freedom and less government oversight.

No burn out necessary, the left is just being overly dramatic to point fingers. Just open up if you're serious, its mostly the right who'll die.

I don't dislike this sort of unlock system - I think Assassin's Creed Odyssey made a thing of it by letting, for instance, you crew your galley with Enzio wannabes if you'd played through AC2. However, the utility is pretty low and I'd imagine you end up sinking more dev time into the endevour than you're going to reap.

I've worked in the gaming industry. Margins are incredibly tight and the timetables are usually extremely brutal. It'll take time to support different character models and swappable cosmetics have, on multiple occasions, resulted in game exploits. One of the early notable ones was Oddjob in Goldeneye[1] but you also often see clipping bugs where tall characters might clip through no pass boundaries and either insta-kill themselves or find a way to get out of bounds. These things have costs.

You should keep the vectored graphics for research papers, it is really handy so people can zoom in. The issue here is just how much information is in the plots you have. E.g. Figure 3 each subplot contains a lot more information than is actually needed. You could use moving averages there to clearly state the same thing. Or if you wanted to, you could include the envelopes. That would create smaller sized images. The other option is to just make the plots more sparse. There's far more information than necessary there.

It's weird, but images often sell a paper, so it is worth time learning how to make good images (or at least one person in your group). But that said, research comes first and that is more important. Just don't underestimate the power of good images. I often find this video on colors helpful[0]

> Saving time by skipping code review, dashing off weird and confusing interfaces or variable names without revisiting them in a second pass, that type of thing is the opposite

Nobody here is saying you should do this, it is a strawman. Rather being fast means that you can revisit your interfaces 10 times rather than 2 times, spend more time thinking about your names, have more time to write tests, review everything several times before code review so no issues are found etc, ultimately producing much higher quality code.

It seems like you think this article is about "I write code quickly by not doing things properly", rather than "I practice to become faster".

This is from the fact check and it sounds to me like they're treating the claims fairly and not using a ridiculous version.

'Several posts circulating online wrongly suggest that the pills are the same because ivermectin also acts like a protease inhibitor and keeps the virus from replicating. Ivermectin continues to be studied in relation to COVID-19, however, it has yet to be proven that it can treat COVID-19.

Images of the structure of Pfizer’s new pill and ivermectin can be found online and do not show similarities like the posts describe.

Ivermectin binds to glutamate-gated chloride channels and is used to treat parasite infections, said Joseph Glajch, a consultant in pharmaceutical and analytical chemistry.

> Productivity is the discounted future cash flow per hour of work.

That's not an unreasonable proposal, but isn't the whole point of startups that we're playing with upsides that are extremely huge and extremely unlikely? It seems like it would be extremely difficult to apply this definition to an engineer or a very small engineering team at an early-stage startup. Surely all the functionally equivalent restaurant delivery apps (at least those above some reasonable baseline of engineering competence) had very similar engineering going on in the early days, yet most of them you barely remember while a very small number of them are unicorns. But could you really have looked at an engineer in the early days and picked out the difference?

I don't consider opinion polls as pathways to truths. They're interesting data points, but not some kind of absolute truth. Human opinions change, perspectives change, often multiple times when provided new/different data. Opinions can also be in conflict with each other. We're not automations or pinnacles of logical consistency. You can hand-wave it away as "nuance", but it isn't. Its fundamental. It's messy.
