A few things came into play. I have a strong distaste for Fox's politics and lack of journalistic integrity, and I viewed the founders' selling of the property to them as pure greed move, contrary to the intended educational and non-partisan nature of the game (which was about political races). But in spite of that, I felt a professional obligation to assist in the transition, maintenance, and even continued building of the project. Once I had gotten the backend over to them, along with the compiled Flash SWFs, I let them know that I would be available to them at my usual hourly rate.

Part of this just comes down to the nature of large corporations. They were never interested in hiring an independent outside party, under any circumstances. At first, before they realized that their team would need my help, they simply declined my offer.

From my perspective, they were of course free to rewrite or extend for whatever uses the art/product they had purchased. But then they started calling me demanding source code, and explicit in that demand was the contract they wanted me to sign which would have given them ownership rights to it. The problem as I explained was, a good deal of that source was my own, proprietary stuff. Big parts of the game platform shared code DNA with other projects I was working on for other clients. I don't double-bill my time, but that meant each client was coming to me because I had developed a platform and a whole suite of GUI components in Flash that could be rejiggered to meet other needs without having to code everything from scratch each time. That's what made me cost-effective and quick; it's part of the reason I was hired, and my clients understood that when I did code for them, some of that DNA might get reused in unrelated projects. So not only would I be giving away rights to code which other clients had rightful use of (potentially exposing them to lawsuits from Fox), but I would be left without the dozens of modules and packages that made up my toolkit, which was my livelihood.

And all of this they expected me to do for free, in exchange for a contract which would have made me their employee at half my rate. I certainly had no intention of ever becoming a Fox employee, even if they tripled my rate. This fact seemed to elude them.

So, it's not really how they asked - although that was offensive, and their attitude that they had all the power in the situation certainly didn't make me keen to help them. It's that what they were asking for would have destroyed my career. And besides that, I felt I didn't have a right to sell those packages at any price. They refused to acknowledge that they would have to share the code with my future projects and other things already in the wild, and that they had screwed up and didn't own what they thought they did. That they had bought the game, not the platform. If they had asked me for source and not demanded the rights to it, with or without paying me to help them transition, the game might have lasted a long time. Instead they tried to decompile it, couldn't figure it all out, left a half-broken version up for a couple weeks and then abandoned it.

I'm not really sure what you're getting at here. If you're generating income but arbing stablecoins, then you know exactly what I'm talking about. I can say with near certainty that you have never, and never will, directly mint or redeem Tether...which proves my point.

I don't disagree at all.

Betterbrands’ Press Release Deadbeef
Content herein is fully copyrighted by approved for public release by Colin Roache.

Betterbrands' Defence has been testing military defense tactics in the field, and while quite effective, has been much more of an ordeal than anticipated given the girth of the catch.
In an effort to trap some local hackers, a global mob of downy retards was discovered to have attempted a vast array of failed conspiracies.
The summary of the situation is the remaining monarchies, oligarchies, socialist regimes and communist regimes have inbred within their intellectually-limited upper-class which screwed up their genetics such that they no longer even have the basic set of human DNA. Meanwhile, they shared their genetic defects with lower classes, thereby causing at least a dozen or more seriously gross genetic disorders to be distributed across their entire populations. These genetics defects passed throughout many mobs over the course of centuries, and culminated in a global grouping of the genetic retards. These retard mobs attempted many routes of conspiracy with no avail.
These retards look so inbred that we are limiting our disclosure of information regarding the removed retards. Some of their body forms looked conical. To be succinct as to the disgustingness, we are releasing the following information: 'bros' is short for 'brokens' and refers to a group devirginization process related to joining their mob.
Betterbrands' Defence is only releasing the above information regarding the molemob. Betterbrands' Public Relations will not correspond with the public regarding this press release. Government officials should contact their United Nations representative for further specifics.
What do the people you have quoted think about gender equality, gay rights, and trans issues? I was careful to say very few people were not bigots by modern standards, not that no one opposed racism and slavery.

I mostly don’t know about these people because I’m not American and have very little interest in American history.

A variety of people have reported it solving IBS

I had IBS from about age 10 to 27. I thought it was completely normal to have "stomach troubles" 3+ days per week for that period of 17 years.

What fixed it for me was drinking a ton of water and eating 35-40 grams of dietary fiber per day. I went from 3+ stomach trouble incidents per week to literally about 1 per year. Other than the dietary fiber, I eat whatever I want including extremely spicy food on an almost daily basis.
I make my own kefir and part of my process is to let it “finish” fermenting in the refrigerator. It definitely tastes different after a few days in the cold, and I never really thought about how maybe there were different bacteria/yeast contributing to this compared to the first ~24 hrs on the counter. To the extent kefir helps, I now wonder how the temperature of fermentation affects people with CD?

Your sibling point about mining is a strawman against PoS, already responded.

As for "utility": You don't get to decide what is the utility and the value of what people do on the blockchain, just like we don't get to decide what is the value of playing GTA V or Minecraft.

Again, you are just wrong but too proud to admit it.
The worst offender for this, in my opinion, is Wikia (sorry, "Fandom™"). There is zero attempt to make the autoplaying content at all relevant to the wiki in question, and it generally isn't even advertising anything, it's just... crap.

It seems like they're desperately trying to believe they have a social network on their hands rather than a collection of disparate knowledge bases, and they're trying to sell this non-existent 'fandom' culture to visitors.
> they are yet another Liberty Reserve enabling large scale money laundering.

> there would be no way for them to make government investigations go away within any reasonable timeframe.

Yes, this is usually the problem with breaking the law (such as facilitating large scale money laundering). You seem to believe this is a bug, while every other citizen views this as a feature.

People breaking the law cannot making investigations go away. And?
Some things are considered okay if individuals do them voluntarily, and bad when governments send men with guns to enforce them.

By the same logic, there is nothing wrong with censorship, because individuals also decide to not say certain things or not pay attention to certain things.
This is a bizarre take. The military doesn’t decide where to invade, our government does. And the militaries goals are well, war-focused?

It is impressive when a military can ship 100,000 soldiers and all the necessary equipment half way around the world in a month.
No need to apologize I can tell you experienced a heavy burden caring for your loved one. Alzheimer’s is an evil disease. It is unfair. It can take the most loving person and test them to the limit. I now advocate for anyone in a situation of caring for an Alzheimer’s patient to really be honest to themselves if they are feeling burnt out and to seek help before things get too bad. When I was in that job I got to go home at the end of my shift and unwind but for many that is not an option. The cost of care where I worked started at $4500 per months something not everyone can afford. It truly is a horrible situation but there are some of us who really did our best to provide some peace to patients and families. I wish you well today and hope you realize you are a good person. That is why it was so hard for you because it is truly hard to see a loved one in that state.
>Calling them "Greeks" is about as accurate as calling the old Vikings "Norwegians" or "Swedish". Related by descent, but not nearly the same, and almost 1000 years separating them.

I mean... wouldn't the people of the British Isles during the Viking Age have called the raiders Danes, or Norsemen? Not vikings?

If your invaders speak Greek and come from the area of Greece, calling them Greek seems to make sense, albeit obviously not in a way equivalent to Hellenes.
You compliment me by thinking it is my idea.

No, it is not. It is actually being seriously worked on by Nasa.

Also, they use the word "affordable". Now, in case if NASA this can mean practically anything, but there is chance it is not prohibitively expensive.

It’s very plausible that with $350k you’re just barely paying the bills you signed up for.

But it’s important to realize that the average American will make about $1.6 million TOTAL during their entire working lifetime, from teenage years to retirement / death.

If you clear that amount in 4.5 years instead of 45 years, it might be worth taking a step back and appreciate the vast distance between the life you’re living and that of the average American.

Somewhat paradoxically... I'm curious if you've tried to modify your diet by including extremely spicy foods on a daily basis?

Most people approach diet modification as a way to maximize comfort and minimize pain, but my strategy is to use capsaicin as a 100% safe and pure-pain mechanism to sound the alarm when I develop an ulcer. It's not always immediately obvious when you develop an ulcer, depending where in your GI tract it is... And this is where knowledge is power: if you can somehow know that you're going to flare up before you actually flare up, then my argument is that you have a better chance at damage-control. Similarly, if you are more pain-sensitive to ulcers you would be getting either way, then you might be aware of more episodes of inflammation than you might otherwise be. With my super hot pepper diet, knowing that it's purely pain and no damage makes the pain itself a lot less stressful, and I have very occasionally used this signal to take a single 2.5mg dose of prednisone (I've been on the same no-refill bottle since 2013, so this doesn't happen often). Since 2013, I've never had to take more than one dose at a time, and judging by how many pills I have left, I've probably only done it 20-30 times or so (I should really keep a journal).

(Disclaimer: I wouldn't put a lot of faith in this tip, and I'd strongly caution against taking corticosteroids for more than a few days, and to talk about this with your doctor before trying it.)
why are news/blogspam-news sites so eager to play videos? (Even if the video is just some intern reading the article with static pictures being shown) Is there extra ad revenue from this somehow? Is it an attempt to keep people on the page longer?

The plans obviously exist at least at the wholesale level.

These: https://shop.blues.io/collections/development-kits/products/...

Come with pre paid 10 year internet data plans - but with a 500MB data limit (which you can top up), all for $79 including the hardware and interface board.

In raw bytes, that'd be enough to send 1000 140character SMS messages a day every day for 10 years. Realistically, there's probably a 10x or 100x overhead for the TCP/SSL/transport/application layers, but you'd probably still get al least 10 140byte payloads a day for a decade with one of those.

(Full disclosure, I have no affiliation with Bluers.io, but I did impulse buy one of those when they first appeared on my radar, which is sitting in the huge pile in my Box Of Unstarted Projects And Broken Dreams.)

Programs that don’t drive the whole terminal screen, instead generating output that may be mixed with other output in the same terminal, are often referred to as CLIs.

> Otherwise I see a very dark future where super large companies kill people's livelihoods and nothing can be done.

What do you mean future? This is already the reality. I recall reading multiple threads here on HN in the last couple of months alone where people lost access to their Google accounts and only got it back because they happened to have a somewhat bigger following on Twitter or elsewhere. I think it's safe to assume that for each of these cases there are many others where the victims don't happen to be influential online personas and their cases just go unnoticed.
But the Taiwanese government wouldn't be able to ban countries that did business with the PRC without cutting themselves off from most of the world? My impression is that they aren't even willing to discuss their own independence too loudly [1] in order to maintain the status quo.

lol the word "persistent" is itself ambiguous an have conflicting meaning:

1-https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Persistence_(computer_science)

In computer science, persistence refers to the characteristic of state of a system that outlives (persists more than) the process that created it.

2- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Persistent_data_structure

In computing, a persistent data structure or not ephemeral data structure is a data structure that always preserves the previous version of itself when it is modified.
I think you are confusing with Parkinsons, and there is a co-relation with dopamine receptors, and it's proven. Also, this being a Crohn's post, smoking also has benefits in curtailing Inflammatory Bowel Disease, but not Crohn's

> I mean making garlic confit was originally a way to preserve garlic.

Why would someone need to preserve garlic? Dry unpealed heads should stay good for months in a cold, dry, dark place like the back of a cupboard. It stores about as well as potatoes or onions in my experience.

This article seems to forget that all the placebo effects should be visible in the responses to the actual medicine. You see a stronger placebo effect from a shot, so both the placebo shot and the medicinal shot's results should have a similar amount of people relieved just by getting such a shot. I assume medicinal studies require the same kind of dose and administration already.

Many years ago on a discussion list for a really deadly condition, someone talked about a child in the family dying really young and no one knew why and everyone was so heartbroken and felt so guilty. And I guess later someone else was diagnosed with this very deadly condition and eventually someone suggested to the mother of the child "Maybe the child also had this deadly genetic disorder and they were just not diagnosed. Maybe you didn't do anything wrong." And the mother was finally able to make her peace with the mysterious death of this child, who had been maybe five years old.

I think the person who told the story was a lot older than me. Children dying young tends to be a thing in less developed countries and people don't necessarily know why.
It's a hedge against economics in general.

I'm not sure I follow the point on open heart surgeries. What would the study be? Is there some question of fact that needs to be resolved? There are many kinds of open heart surgery too. Which one do you purport does not have any randomized trials associated with it? All of them? That would actually surprise me a little.

Placebo-controlled RCTs are only feasible when it's possible to ethically apply the placebo or the treatment. Generally speaking, the types of things we do open heart surgery for, like valve replacement, coronary bypass, or pacemakers, it is impossible to ethically apply a placebo.

You only need RCTs when there is some question of fact that needs to be resolved. There is no need for a random controlled trial about whether stopping all water intake will kill someone. For some types of heart surgery, this doubt does exist, but for any of those types which are not being studied with RCTs, I would guess there is not much doubt. If your heart valve is busted and it is causing you to be unable to pump blood, you can look at the pumping efficiency before and after replacement. No RCT needed.

You'll note that these two factors are very different from diet. It is possible to ethically apply a control and a treatment where it comes to diet, and there is much doubt as to their efficiency for some purposes.
The issue is your point was also long, mocking, and unnecessary.
Personally I am yes, but I know that's not the case everywhere. I get that you mean in terms of ROI, but that's ROI for the business, not for you the customer. So I guess what I'm getting at is, why would you suggest the thing that's better for the business but worse for you?
