I really enjoy Cookie Clicker. Not because it is a particularly fun game to play, but the way it uses the medium to tell a narrative without a single line of dialogue is nothing short of masterful.

The whole game's premise is an obvious critique and satire of unlimited, exponential growth under capitalism and it never has to invoke Marxist theory to make you think about that. Anyone who stops to question why they have an army of grannies producing more cookies than there are atoms on Earth and still want more can reach that conclusion on their own.

It's a shame the genre was appropriated into being exactly what the pioneer game criticized, but it just makes the point more valid from my perspective.

I'm aware of that. Most kids and parents won't be.

This is a case which is legally complex. The result here combines Meta's work with the child's work. A lot of the legal test might hinge on things such as the extent to which the gaits (jumping, dancing, etc.) are creative works created by Meta versus automated transformations. I suspect a court decision would hinge on the judge, and perhaps what the judge ate that morning.

But, for the sake of argument, let's assume you're right, and remixing outputs is 100% legal.

Families won't know that. For families to know that, they'd need a legal analysis from a lawyer. Families won't pay for that so their kid can make a Youtube video.

If you're making the world's ultimate video skit, do you want to make it without knowing what you're allowed to do with it?

The problem with legal complexity is simply that people don't do things.

A nice license, being explicit about what you can and can't do resolves that.

License text is also a social contract. A compiler maker might not have copyright over the output, but if they don't want me using their tool for something, I might respect that out of politeness. Or I might choose to pick a fight if I think they're being unreasonable and it will help others. It depends on the context. Signalling intentions is helpful as well.

Yes but they also tend to have multiple political parties knitted together in a fragile consensus too, so marshalling large-scale changes across all of the parties is pretty challenging. A coalition partner can always not just say no, but back out of the coalition!

I haven't grokked shared memory in python yet to implement it (https://docs.python.org/3/library/multiprocessing.shared_mem...). Apparently there is also a known bug? (https://stackoverflow.com/questions/14124588/shared-memory-i...), but an improvement I'd like to learn and implement. Though the file I have is just over 1GB, so it's not prohibitive yet.

Funny thing is even though it's throwaway code, ensuring everything worked as expected felt really high-stake since a bug would mean a found key would be lost!

Edit: Also not sure if shared memory would be slower in python3 (or if it was, whether it would matter in this use-case), but an interesting thing to profile.

Ha ha ha. No.

The CMF is a product of the CA DoE, an organization ultimately led by either elected officials (the state superintendent) or appointees of elected officials (the state board, appointed by the Governor). And since it's education in California, I don't even have to look to know that those leaders are 100% Democrats. Because Hell will freeze over before today's California lets anyone but a Democrat touch education policy.

Nevertheless, I did confirm that the obvious is true with a couple Google searches. All CA School Board members were appointed by Democratic governors Brown or Newsom, and the superintendent has been a Democrat since the 90s, although the office is officially "nonpartisan" (whatever that means).

Your unwillingness to follow a simple, obvious logical point doesn't make that point weak.

It's uninteresting to have a "debate" with someone whose primary tactic is disingenuous ignorance in the service of protecting a favored in-group, so I'll stop here. Bye.

If I'm reading this right, it assumes the machine's IP is publicly accessible over the internet; which I'm guessing -even with IPv6- is not the case in 99.999% of cases; who just exposes their development machine directly to the internet with a public IP?

Critical Thinking, Covid-19 Vaccines, and Deadly Consequences
I don't think you can with a decent crypt. In practice most encrypted containers come with metadata and a header describing the type of encryption since the assumption is that it can only be decrypted with a key anyway. If you forget encryption parameters, this can become difficult even if you have the key.

In cryptanalysis it is normally assumed that the attacker knows the algorithm and encryption parameters aside the key.
I’m not defending Google but almost everyone I know who replaced a 6+ year old router then spends a month saying they should have done that sooner because the differences were noticeable. Given how heavily most people use WiFi now, spending something like $0.50 per day for your entire family seems like far from the most pressing area to economize.

The other thing to consider is how the rest of the market compares: a lot of people have routers which still work but are no longer secure, so this entire field seems right for a legal requirement of, say, a decade support period and/or mandatory recycling.

Deliveroo is bound by the collective agreement (CAO) and must pay pension premiums for delivery workers

Amsterdam, 21 December 2021
The Amsterdam Court of Appeal has ruled in 2 judgments that Deliveroo is subject to the CAO and is considered a participant in the professional transport pension fund. Earlier this year, the Court of Appeal already ruled that the delivery drivers at Deliveroo work on the basis of an employment contract (ECLI:NL:GHAMS:2021:392). The 2 new rulings mean, among other things, that Deliveroo must apply the CAO with retroactive effect from 2015 to delivery drivers who worked for it and must pay pension premiums.

Collective Labour Agreement and Mandatory Pension Fund

The case revolves around the interpretation of the scope of the provisions of the CAO and the Decree Mandatory Pension Fund for Professional Transport, respectively. This interpretation is based on the standards developed by the Supreme Court.

Delivery/transport is core activity

According to the Court of Appeal, Deliveroo's core business is delivering meals. The fact that Deliveroo has far fewer office staff than deliverers, that a significant proportion of Deliveroo's operating costs are related to the delivery activity and that the agreements with the affiliated restaurants in most cases include a commission for delivering the meals play a role in this. The agreement with the delivery companies includes the fact that they are primarily engaged in the delivery - and therefore transportation - of meals. According to the Court of Appeal, it does not matter whether the transportation is done by car, scooter or bicycle.
The conclusion is that Deliveroo is subject to the CAO for professional goods transport and is obliged to participate in the professional transport sector pension fund.

Rulings of the subdistrict court are confirmed

Earlier, in 2019, the Subdistrict Court in Amsterdam reached the same conclusion. Those rulings have now been upheld by the court of appeal.

This:

> The average American pays more for healthcare over their live than the average European, and the outcomes are objectively worse.

remains true. No matter how you want to spin it and pretend that medical tourism affects this in any way.

Edit:

For 2015, https://www.usitc.gov/publications/332/executive_briefings/c...

- Medical tourism to US: between 100k and 200k per year

- Medical tourism from US to other countries: 150k to 350k per year

Europe is ~500 million people

US is ~ 360 million people

Medical tourism is a drop in the bucket.
I am either old school or lazy; I just cannot bother with learning a new system and maintaining it all.the.time. So yes, PC is my hammer, and I just double click on what I want to watch. Ir just works.

(typically when I mention this, somebody will helpfully pipe up that "It's easy! You just need to download this, that and other thing; open up these ports; setup the server and TV on its VLAN; make sure that these drivers and codecs are installed and updated; etc etc etc" with zero awareness of how much extra work it is compared to "double click on movie file" :D )
This is wrong at least as a response to the original comment, which is correct about the state of the art (TLS is also moving to elliptic curves where shorter keys are used).
Our (your) military recruits young adults, a term we've decided on, but many poorer militaries recruit as young as 10 years old. Having rules restricting military recruitment is a luxury of our wealth.

As for "lie-cheat-steal machines", I've personally observed it across thousands of children. It mainly happens at 11-13 years of age, middle school in the USA. When I worked for Southland Corporation (7-11), we tried everything to keep a store adjacent to a middle school operating. Finally sold it. Kids go through earlier phases of this when they first discover lying. Each kid differently, of course.

"On the contrary, kids are relatively complex emotionally and are capable of empathy from a young age."

That's not "On the contrary". Kids are, indeed. Emotionally complex and empathetic doesn't preclude naive innocence at all.

Realistically every carrier should be doing this.

I've played a lot of idle games, and I think there's a spectrum from dumb to managerial.

For example, Factorio (especially in peaceful mode) almost certainly qualifies as an Idle Game. Your factory continues to produce even when you leave the computer on for hours. With a good enough setup, you can leave even when Biters are active (as long as you have enough bots to auto-regenerate your walls and rebuild your base as it is attacked).

But no one here will ever say Factorio is a "Bad" game.

--------------

On the other end, I've played Clicker Heroes, which is about as idle-game as you can get. Pay-real-money for minor benefits? Check. Reset based system? Check. Guilds + chat to encourage collaboration? Check. Etc. etc.

Ultimately, a good clicker-game / idle-game is a text-based management sim. People like it when numbers go up, and people like it even more when numbers go up dramatically. Ex: Factorio's "Rocket-per-minute" bases, or doing 500 quadrillion damage-per-second in Clicker Heroes. Its all just numbers going up.

--------

That being said: Universal Paperclips is probably the best clicker-game I've ever played and I highly recommend that one. https://www.decisionproblem.com/paperclips/

Minor spoilers: Universal Paperclips has an ending. I can speed run it in about 3 hours these days, expect maybe 10 to 15 hours if you've never played it before / are going guideless.
> The quote above says that not being an engineer will stop promotion.

Speaking as a DS who knows a lot of FB people, this is totally true. If you have a product team deliver something cool, the engineers on that team will normally (modulo variability) be rewarded a lot more than the DS people. Sometimes PM's get some of that, if the product is very successful, but the variability is lower and the mean is higher for engineers at that company (apparently).

The court earlier decided that Uber drivers are employees. Problems is that Uber does not adhere to the decision and that the Tax office seems unwilling to enforce it. We'll have to see if Deliveroo will stick to the decision.

When I started my studies, we had a tour of the hortus of our university.

It's not just Microsoft. What most bug bounties pay isn't even close to the amount you can get from selling it on the black market (assuming you have the right connections). It's why selling exploits to nation states and vendors who work with them is so lucrative.
I don’t think so. High viral loads lead to more spread, right?

So if people have less comorbidities and that contributes to both less spread and less severe infections it should reduce contagion. Or I suppose contagion is still occurring but isn’t detected because the infections are subclinical and the host never even tests.
In the UK, slow moving vehicles, including tractors, are prohibited on motorways (as are cyclists and pedestrians). They are allowed on other high-speed roads though.
That confusion is part of the challenge discussing these things. I'm not a fan of how the "FSD Beta" is being handled, but its a whole separate discussion from autosteer and systems like it.
Highest bidder is unethical and illegal.

But does not change the monetary reality
The 13th Amendment came after a civil war had started- Lincoln didn't run on ending slavery in 1860. Also a number of Western US states (and some British colonies) started allowing women to vote decades before WW1- Wyoming in 1869, for instance. (An argument for federalism! We saw the same thing with gay rights & marijuana legalization here more recently).

Another argument against his point is that the European & North American democracies eventually ended slavery and enfranchised women, all roughly around the same point. I don't think political systems can really hold back needed large-scale changes that are a bit of an historical inevitability. Still, federalism is good to allow some states/provinces to be ahead of the curve and provide a good example
Yeah I'm not sure what direction you're taking but the SPA can be just its own thing interacting with APIs or server-side rendered. Also your back end, I would recommend knowing MySQL or SQL in general so you have that under you.

But yeah ReactJS is good to know/has huge market share. I'm glad I picked it over Vue/Angular.

If you're looking for something else to learn, being able to setup a Node backend with auth is nice to have as well eg. using JWT. Then knowing general best practices about security eg. XSS/sql-injection.

But yeah... Depends what direction you're taken eg. strictly front end or both.

Anyway good luck.

Well its all obvious now; each carrier has their own "SUPERspamGuard!®" so there is little incentive to fix the problem anymore. It is just another selling point to get customers who are fed up with their previous provider.

We need to fine companies that continue to route these calls. It is not like tracing is impossible.
I've never not had a contract that stated I had to get consent from my employer if I wanted to take any other job. And I get the feeling that if you got caught double-dealing like this, a company would take it seriously enough to actually sue you for a serious breach of contract. Especially if the other company is in the same industry - this creates a huge conflict of interest and the potential for data leaks, etc. IP ownership and legal issues make this a very dangerous game.

Maybe you get away with this if you're working for small companies that can't afford the legal procedures, but if you're working for a small company there's also much greater risk you'll be found out because you can't disappear into the crowd.
Why do you have a constant before the log term? Isn’t that completely meaningless?

From Grand Theft Auto to world peace: can a video game help to change the world?
Did you try DragonFlyBSD? It had some really cool features. I wonder how it's doing these days, and if it's equally viable as a daily driver.
There are 3 main features:

1) Decentralized apps (dapps) - Backend of websites/service that run as smart contracts on a particular blockchain instead of a centralized infrastructure. More resilient and inherently scalable.

2) Decentralized identity - Instead of creating user accounts for every site, identities are just wallet addresses. People maintain their own data and use their own keys to sign transactions.

3) Decentralized ownership (records) - NFTs are secure records of payment for ownership of a digital asset and can be traded easily.

The theme is that everything is available and keeps running without censorship, corruption, or other influence getting in the way, as long as the chain itself is still running. Whether there's serious utility in that is still unknown. I also think it's unlikely given how much we're tied to physical bodies and sovereign nations with their own laws and politics.
