If money keeps them, I assume heading to meta is also because of money.
Thanks for your talk. It was completely out of my scope but really interesting. How can one get ones hand on the hardware? Is it open?
Err- EA's Madden series?

I'm trying to help.
As an engineer the PCL seemed like foreign territory as it was in the other side of campus. Thus it was a nice place to go and think, especially in the map room, it was a magic place.
So you don’t think corporations have any responsibility to act ethically?
Well, if you look at the data, covid outcomes in TX/FL aren't much different than CA/NY despite completely different policy routes.

People in the south have been able to live without restriction, as if covid doesn't exist, and the result is pretty much the same. So are the authoritarian/mandate style policies doing anything meaningful to help?

Obviously there are many variables to consider such as age, prevalence of obesity, density etc, but you would expect to see stark differences in outcomes if mandate/lockdown policies had a substantial impact.

Somewhere along the way the covid hardliners lost the plot and continue to focus on the case counts rather than consider the holistic/multivariate model of second order effects of policy. Seems pretty unscientific to me to have a policy function with a single variable input.

Besides the obvious divide between urban and rural areas, there are definitely very different cultures present in the area typically called the Midwest.

For example, Missouri and Minnesota are both in the Midwest. However, Minnesota is influenced heavily by Scandinavian culture, and Missouri is born of French and German roots. Minnesota is more interested in social engineering and a trust in government, and Missouri is more interested in social independence and religious authorities.

I'm not saying that the original commenter's experiences are invalid, but blanket statements like theirs get under my skin.

Also: nowhere did I say that the Midwest is more diverse than the rest of the United States. I'm saying that the Midwest is more than one culture and cannot be considered a single entity.
It’s about getting the best quality copy. You also don’t have to wait hours for it to capture, which is important in the pirate scene (being the first to upload).

No.

I know that there were many people who stayed interested through 4 years of bear market
Bats do, too, despite being much smarter than insects. It seems nature prefers the "fail often and recover quickly" system.
The game is actually regressing. Just bought Madden after 3 years and the initial load time is somehow longer. Game sometimes stutters when running plays. Don't get me started on MUT being pushed everywhere. At this point, I wish they'd give me Madden 07 with better graphics.
I think Tor should be allowed everywhere. It's really a great tool that deserves more use.
No. Your argument is a linguistic work-to-rules strike.
The nukes could run carbon capture plants. Or, even more directly, they could power homes, industry, charge electric cars, etc.
I feel like this can apply to just about all sports related video games.
A lot of this advice has to do with what role you play in a company. As a mid-level IC engineer, especially as one prone to moving companies, I have no strategic role.

Frankly, I will not be at the company long enough to have a strategic impact as I will have left in a few months. Solutioning keeps the day to day moving. It won't be my problem 10 months from now.

And with the endless churn on dev teams, you can't build a stable enough team to get beyond that. I wait to serve on a team that has less than a 50% replacement rate in a year.
I agree with you w.r.t density. Skyscrapers are on the opposite end of the spectrum from suburbs. Probably better overall, but not great. Medium-density, mixed-use development is the sweet spot and how farming humans eventually lived.
We should compare both.

It is clear that getting immunity for naive person by vaccination is much more preferable. But in case when one has been already infected, there is no reason to admit that he has very little to gain by additional vaccination.

In any case, it is inevitable that most people will get covid – vaccinated or not. And ultimately it is only about risk reduction not elimination. We will need to evaluate that a vaccinated person with subsequent infection has considerable immunity.

My home state of Michigan is frequently mistaken for Minnesota by Californians — so I totally believe it when west coasters ask if it ever gets above freezing in Minnesota.
The first thing that comes to my mind about Minneapolis is 80s punk and alt. rock (Hüsker Dü and The Replacements to be more specific, I am European and probably a bit of an outlier)
I mean, its different for everyone. If what society wants to give you is naturally pretty close to what you want then it will be a lot easier for you. This is true for many many people and most of them are probably reasonably happy.

If you are the polar opposite just know you are in for a battle and you likely will hqve to take om extreme personal risk to make it work.

But i mean, certainly there are plenty of happy people out there.
This Fall I moved to NYC after 16 years residing in San Francisco. I’ve been amazed how clean and safe the Manhattan streets seem relative to SF. Over the course of my life in San Francisco I’ve:
1) Had a crazy homeless person try to push me under a moving Bart.
2) Was assulted by two thugs outside of City Lights Books
3) Seen multiple laptop snatches at various coffee shops
4) Had a good friend who twice got punched in the face out on the streets.

I loved SF back in the day, but that city feels gone. Buried under a pile of dangerous filth. Now that I’m in New York, I couldn’t be happier!
I set up a mumble server at the beginning of the pandemic to talk to my friends. It quickly fell out of use for the same reasons you gave. Shame to see such high quality audio software give way to closed source alternatives
It was one of the biggest things that put EA on the map in the 90s, and for better or worse EA is one of the most important companies in the game industry.

More specifically it was the lift off point for the entire EA Sports division which is notorious for its 2 decade aggressiveness in pursuing video game sports licensing.

Agreed, although the app is still much easier to use than other ML apps I've tried, it's still a bit too confusing/"magical" for non-technical folks.

As mentioned on the parent comment, this is the #1 priority, and I hope a redesigned flow (e.g. step by step from loading the data, picking the target, then features, and explaining things at each step) will help here. I'll also have a page with concrete use cases, including marketing.

Please reach out (email on the website) if you have some ML use case you'd like to solve with ML Console, happy to help you prepare your data etc.
Awesome attitude. I hope you succeed.

It’s interesting to note that the first skyscraper is generally accepted to be built in Chicago (10 floors) and the steel frame technology was developed here, too. Although nowadays NYC has become synonymous with high buildings, this was not the case in early days: “New York trailed behind Chicago, having only four buildings over 16 stories tall by 1893.” [1]. An early jewel of a building from this ear still stands, The Rookery. If you’re ever in the Windy City I suggest you visit this building.

Other large Midwest cities I’ve visited, Indy and St Louis don’t really hold up, I’ve got to admit.

System libraries use the full pointer authentication schema, because they’re updated as a whole with the entire system, so ABI changes don’t impact them (as much).
Is there really a lot of spam? In my experience, I just saw a robot subscription storm once in the past year at a small streamer (~100 people). I watch twitch roughly 3hr+/day.
The parts of the Southern US that are comparable to San Francisco in terms of physical setup and living experience are Charleston and Savannah. They also cost just as much.
Well, firstly, milestones is a standard term and even in this article the author points to the expected definition (reference to Wikipedia article). His "special version of milestones" does not imply another definition, but rather just some specific attributes / requirements / expectations for milestones to be used. Secondly, the author presents project and milestones as a dichotomy ("Most engineering organizations focus on delivering projects. They should focus on milestones instead." - emphasis mine), whereas, in fact, you cannot define milestones outside of the context of a project. Thus, it is not an either/or situation, but rather one where both concepts simply exist. One more note: while both concepts are orthogonal, they are not fully independent; meaning that milestones must belong to a project and a project can have milestones.
Having retired over a decade ago, I bet a fair number of Madden players already have no idea who John Madden is and may think it's an obscure term like gridiron.
So you're not responding on the Xenon poisoning and power variation, I guess you stand corrected.

> France has low retail electricity rates because the government massively subsidized nuclear power. That doesn’t mean cheap electricity, that means hiding the costs for electricity.

No. The impact of nuclear electricity on public finances is a clear net positive over the lifetime of the park. And for the past 10 years, nuclear has actually been anti-subsidized by the political will to boost RE and competition in the french electricity sector (see ARENH if you're interested).

> Also, it doesn’t use 70% nuclear power, it currently exports ~20% of the nuclear power it generates and imports almost exclusively non nuclear energy. Net result it’s customers actually use about 55-60% nuclear power

This makes no sense. You can't just discount export from nuclear and count import as non-nuclear…

First of all, most of our biggest neighbours also have nuclear electricity (UK, Belgium, Germany) so we are definitely also importing nuclear (well, when it makes sense to actually export nuclear, see the next point).

Second, most of the time when we export we're actually producing electricity from other means than nuclear (gas, wind, hydro) why would you count only nuclear as being exported? If you want to draw an accurate line, you'd need to count the electricity at the marginal price as the one being exported and most of the time it's not nuclear.

Third, what about the past few days? We've artificially reduced nuclear production to import wind, because the weather leads to a massive overproduction of wind power in Europe. It's not that nuclear couldn't have produced this energy right, just that we had to turn it down to protect the grid from a collapse. Yet in your calculations you are somehow counting it as a liability for nuclear.

From one of the replies on twitter when looking at percentages instead of absolute counts: https://twitter.com/nick_beauchamp/status/147369598060430540...

"I wouldn't take this too seriously. Even looking at percentages, there seems to be a seasonal surge in "no smell" each winter. The recent Covid surges are larger, and the first wave is possibly visible as well, but this is also sensitive to how you smooth the data."
In a residential setting there could be capacity limitations/oversubscription that needs to be protected by "DDoS" mitigation at each customer edge. It could do dumb rate limiting which would affect youtube uploads etc., or it could look at flows and try to nuke "obvious" outbound DDoS attacks.

Just curious, what is the implication here? That im sad because i dont consume anything?

I live in a very cheap country where i can consume drastically more than the average american (housing and food mostly, not much material stuff) at a much lower price. My lifestyle would seem pretty extravagant to many.

But im trying to return and realizing the numbers are insane.
I mean if they pass the correct flags they get memory that can be toggled rapidly between X and W mode - or is MIT Scheme mixing data and code in the heap and so actually requiring RWX?
I don't have the gumption to move there, but I completely agree. There's a lot of desire to move to the "next big" city (recent example being Austin), but I think there's a lot more pride in revitalizing a city with an existing identity. I think there's also a future where we're just creating more pockets of urban (and suburban) decay by hopping to whichever trendy city. American population isn't expanding like it was decades ago. imo, some metros (recent growing ones like Austin, Dallas, Phoenix, Atlanta) are expanding at a rate that will not be sustainable in 30-40 years. Parts of those areas will be in an even worse situation than places like Detroit.
This seems like an oddly negative take. When someone has just acknowledged that they lack knowledge in a particular area, why assume conceit?
> All these coins and projects have a mission statement and high level overview on how they think it will be useful in the future.

The thing I like about Dogecoin is that it's at least honest: it's not selling itself as anything more than a token with a price that will go up if more people buy it.
yes, and with each rapid doubling, the probability of further doubling decreases.
Nature vs nurture would be easily tested.
> Did you witness lgbtq or people of certain skin colors being run out of town or receiving some sort of prejudice?

Yes. Multiple teachers at my middle and high school were fired/forced out. This was long ago but not that long ago. I'm sure much as changed since then, and I wouldn't generalize that experience to the entire region, but it's always astounding to me when people don't realize that hostility to lgbtq people is very, very much a thing that not-even-close-to-retirement folks experienced first-hand while living in the midwest.
I've never made a renter's insurance claim.

Pet insurance is only for emergency and/or life-threatening injuries and conditions, and surgeries and other costs related to them. Think getting hit by a car or getting cancer. It doesn't cover vaccinations, annual visits, and tests done for preventative measures. This is the main difference between pet insurance and US human health insurance since if I understand correctly, most (all?) medical plans offered in the US are required to provide preventative coverage for annual visits, vaccinations, etc.

My pets are young and healthy so 100% of their medical costs are preventative which made me consider cancelling my policy. For reference I pay $65/mo for my policy which covers three pets. In my area an annual exam and vaccination series for the three pets costs $300 so about 2/3rds of my annual pet medical expenses is "wasted" on premiums. But a minor accident that could happen to any pet ended up costing more than a year's worth of premiums and it was nearly 100% covered by insurance without a deductible applying.

I've still paid more in premiums than I've gotten back (which is obvious; how else does the insurance make a profit?). I was considering self-insuring instead by taking the money I was spending on premiums and putting it into a savings account. After doing some research on emergency procedures I realized that in some rare circumstances a single injury could cost a decade of premiums. If this happened multiple times I'd have to make a tough decision to put down the pet simply because I couldn't afford the procedure. These pets didn't ask to be brought into this world and are often abused and neglected before becoming adopted. They deserve a long and healthy life if one is possible. I'd rather "waste" a few hundred dollars a year for the peace of mind that I can afford to treat any illness or injury that occurs.
no, it's the motivation, not the reason.

the reason why linux users get lower bitrate versions of media is that companies with a bit too much power decided to try to abuse the entirety of the PC world in order to slow the efforts of a very few pirates.

it's a stupid untenable unwinnable arms-race that only results in poorer user experience and less and less user-liberty and choice across the board in order to slightly inconvenience a few bad actors, not stop them.

Meanwhile a 10 dollar video dongle setup and a pirated Windows copy will easily meet most DRM requirements and still allow for easy piracy.

These efforts (DRM schemes) are useless and anti-human, and most research from the 90s until now indicates that DRM enforcement does little for profit except for those that sell DRM solutions -- and that piracy increases social effect of released media; generally aiding sales and profitability.
Yeah pretty close to the numbers im looking at. To have a 5 acre home stead with a 2500sqft house im calculating i would need about 1.25m in most of the markets im looking at.
The $1300/mo apartment I have in the midwest would easily cost $3000+ in SF/LA/NYC. Three bedrooms, 2000 sq ft, two stories. I live alone. I can afford it easily.

Median home values. My state: $152k. CA: $551k. WA: $393k. NY: $305k.

Gas absolutely does not cost the same as everywhere else. In my midwest state, the average today is $3.05/gal. In California, $4.65. WA: $3.85. Even in IL, which is "expensive midwest" for sure, its $3.37.

Electricity: my state, $0.135/kwh. CA: $0.226. NY: $0.196. There are some generally high COL states like WA which have pretty cheap electricity.

"There are cheap restaurants everywhere". Even McDonalds charges more in different states. Its not the same! My state, a Big Mac costs $4.10. CA: $5.11. WA: $4.67.

"How was your weekend?"

"Yesterday my uncle died and my dog got hit by a car"

A lot of people communicate this way.

I get the sense that you're on some vendetta against all of my comments for some reason, but I'm not on a weird strike against anything except poor assumptions.

But, agree to disagree I suppose.
That is correct, I'm an idiot. Almost only the platonic solids will do? Honestly it seems like the platonic solids are the easiest to work with, except percentile dice are nice for people using base-10 so you have to throw in a 10-sided die too. There are non-platonic versions of the other dice too, but you don't see them I assume because they're harder to manufacture. Less cut and dry than I though though!
This screams of privilege. Just go do it one time a month and understand the business better.
Note that they describe using a tun, which is a form of tardigrade which has evacuated pretty much all water and is metabolically inert. These forms can survive thousands of years of harsh conditions and have effectively no chemical activity. None of this work would translate beyond organisms that enter such states.

I won't really comment on whether the authors did what they said, except to point out that academics are highly incentivized to make their work sound both more "significant" (that is, important beyond what they did in their lab) and "impressive" (that is, a greater technical achievement than what they did in their lab).
Thanks for triggering my PTSD of working with both an insurance agency in Chicago and large bank in Cincinnati that were both launching new projects in Cold Fusion in 2016-2018. Luckily I was only development adjacent. Both orgs were very laid back and were typically 35 hour work weeks with moderated expectations and lots of 15+yr tenured people. If one wanted to slack and coast, it wouldn't really be noticed.

On M1 CPUs you cannot ever have simultaneously writable and executable memory. Windows just makes default allocations write only, you have to explicitly request RWX, which is what every other OS has been doing basically since x86 actually added support for non executable memory :)

I don't understand. How is the rest paid?
This is a dangerous oversimplification.

What people learned in between 1963-ish to 1985-ish there is that mass media shovels shit wholesale, and so cannot be taken at face value under any circuimstances and that if you style yourself as a connoseiur of shit, you're free to join the field of kremlinology.

This approach is sorely lacking nowadays.
Can you describe the upside of this “more scrutiny”, since per the above it doesn’t seem to have made the codebase safer?
That means your interviews suck.
I believe it. I had a high deductible health insurance plan and had a serious injury that required a hospital stay. Even though I paid for all of it before meeting my deductible, it was still cheaper than the medical costs I have spent on one of my three pets who is actually young and very healthy, but accidents happen.
Most academic professors in CS are mentoring much more than one PhD students over the course of their academic careers, yes? Therefore, as with other academic disciplines, the ratio of academic tenure-track job openings to new PhD's looking for academic jobs is >> 1, even if you look at industry demand for PhD's.
>Which has about zero bearing on what actual Russians thought.

>(Not to mention there wasn't much to think of, since obviously the movies were never run in the USSR back then).

In USSR that phenomenon was known as "I haven't read it, but i condemn it" ("Не читал, но осуждаю") as a good Soviet citizen would of course never want to read/watch <insert whatever decadent/rotten product of the "West pop-culture" or USSR dissidents/etc.> (thus making the actual availability a moot issue) while of course a good Soviet citizen can't feel anything but condemnation to such a product. While it originates as used seriously by total Party suckers, it was used by most people with a double meaning of a satirical sum-it-all-up of the USSR ideological approach to culture, and in many cases the satire was going beyond culture as like Bond movies a lot of things weren't available in USSR - like "i haven't experienced the rotten luxury of the West cars/etc., but i condemn that luxury".
Maybe, but I will take his TC at Google over a L6 TC at Amazon any day, talking from the experience of being at Amazon, and seeing people with string LP evaluations and EE performance getting only a 3% comp boost, so yeah.
