I think you are misremembering the Brood War release. It was available for Mac 6 months after the PC release, and the “battle chest”,which contained both StarCraft and brood war, was mac/windows hybrid. The battle chest was by far the biggest seller, too.
I think poor people understand the math behind the chances of winning the lottery.
In this thread, we explore more ways in which almost any practice or system works great when someone competent and well-meaning does it, and almost none do when someone incompetent or malicious is involved, which is most of the time.

I don't believe there is any actual research about it. It doesn't even pass the smell test; why would a company of people who have a hard time relating to one another and socially meshing perform better? If homogeneity in a country increases social trust and other positive factors (it does), why are we trying to create the opposite situation in a company?
It's worse than "erroneous actions being performed". It leads to the driver watching the UI for a second, which, unless you're stopped, is much too long.
This is what I do. I just put in "first email I get gets it" people will be at your house in an house or less to grab it. I'm always honest like "The bearings seem a little wobbly to me, but if you want it, it's yours if you can show up and pick it up today"
Detection means there is enough virus physically present in the sample for the detection technology to identify it.

Infection requires virus particles to be physically present in transmission vectors (fluids, droplets, etc). There's generally also a dose-response effect where more particles means more chance of evading the immune system well enough to establish replication in the victim.

So a lack of anything to detect, means a lack of anything to spread an infection.
"The two guests sound very reasonable". Do you mean Malone? https://www.politifact.com/article/2022/jan/06/who-robert-ma... sums it up; he's made numerous statements that are almost certainly false.

"the citations are WHO or studies from Israel / Great Britain / Canada". Discreted doctors can cite discredited studies on Rogan's show with absolutely no pushback. They can also cite good studies but suggest a wrong conclusion based on their own interpretation.

Note: I'm a PhD-trained scientist with extensive background in medical biology. I'm obviously not the target for Rogan's show, but what I can say is that I'm a damn good judge of bullshit and Rogan is allowing people to state total bullshit with zero checking if the statements are scientifically accurate or not.
It's not even a safety thing. Power seats with memory functionality are a must-have for anyone that shares their car with someone else. It's so much less annoying to press one button and have the car revert to your preferred seating position with side mirrors angle perfectly vs doing it manually every time.
Range anxiety decreases with ownership. Once you adapt to a 300 mile range you figure out what your daily usage is, and typically it's a small fraction of the range. After all who drives 5 hours per day on average? So it's not a big deal to let you car go a few days, even 40% is 120 miles, or 2 ish hours for most driving patterns.

Additionally charge cycles generally means full charges, so 1000 full charges = 10,000 charge of 10%. Similar rules apply to any similar battery technology, like in an apple laptop or pretty much any cell phone.

Dev here. How I'd personally approach this is to try to figure out which tests have marginal value given what's already been run. So if I've tested {chrome, ipad9, English} and {Firefox, pixel 4, Spanish}, there's the question of whether {Chrome, ipad9, Spanish} would really add any value here.
Thanks. For me, it's important that it runs in the browser and is still minimal (just text). I spend much of my time in the browser. I spend a lot of time in VS Code too, but I found it awkward for notes for some reason. It may be that I've got a few VS Code projects opened and so I was confusing code with notes, I'm not really sure.

There are lots of note tools out there and I'm sure our preferences will each be different. I hacked this one together to work for my particular needs, which I'm not sure I even completely understand. But, the minimalist web based nature of it is making the work-flow work really well for me.
Show HN: Liquid Go – A Game Combining Liquid Wars and Go
I imagine Hacker News is one of the few places on the internet where I'll find people who've played Liquid Wars, which was a major inspiration for this game. For those who don't know, Go is an East Asian board game about controlling territory by taking turns placing stones on a grid. Liquid Go is like Go except your stones are a liquid and there's no turns.
sure but the set of all people who engage in frequent unprotected sex so as to be possibly susceptible to HIV is strictly smaller than the set of all people who could be possibly affected by covid.
> a campaign of dehumanization against all people of English descent, based on claims that the English were inherently and irredeemably savage and uncivilized.

I think you're running a bit ahead of yourself:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Five_Civilized_Tribes:

> Americans of European descent classified them as "civilized" because they had adopted attributes of the Anglo-American culture.[3] Examples of such colonial attributes adopted by these five tribes, included Christianity, centralized governments, literacy in English, market participation, written constitutions, intermarriage with white Americans, and chattel slavery practices, including purchase of enslaved African Americans.[4][5] For a period, the Five Civilized Tribes tended to maintain stable political relations with the European Americans, before the United States promoted Indian Removal of these tribes from the Southeast.

I've not seen any evidence that the yoke steering wheel is dangerous. The downside that you're describing can only happen at zero or near to zero speed. BMW doesn't even install turn signals at all so I think the occasional errant turn signal is fine. The reason the NHTSA hasn't "forbid" the yoke is because... it isn't unsafe, it's just stupid.

It would be significantly less stupid if it had physical buttons on the steering wheel.
> what is a morally unacceptable debate?

I'm surprised that people here do not understand this point. Here some by-the-book examples that are used in ethics 101:

"what is the best way to kill grandma?" "what is a reasonable price to buy a slave?"

If you find murder or slavery immoral you are simply unable to debate on this questions because they imply acceptance of the premise.

You can, of course, express your disagreement on the whole debate.

> I see no winning outcome in making it a taboo

This has nothing to do with a taboo. It's a completely different thing.
Reminds you to keep your anger hot. Better than what I'm going to do, which is block ads with extreme prejudice until the one day when google/apple/mozilla flips the switch and adblockers don't work anymore.
> I sense Sony is in dire straits when it comes to both IP availability

Maybe you're referring to that they don't have many IPv4s available, because Sony is in no lack of strong Intellectual Properties when it comes to gaming. Guerrilla Games (Killzone, Horizon Zero Dawn), Insomniac Games (Ratchet & Clank), Naughty Dog (Crash Bandicoot, Jak and Dexter, Uncharted, The Last of Us), Santa Monica Studio (God of War), Polyphony Digital (Gran Turismo) and more are all part of PlayStation Studios which is a division of Sony IE. Most of the studios in PlayStation Studios are big time IP in the industry.
The example in Florida is hard to imagine.

Most spending is credit.

How could that possibly be enforced in a credit-based economy?
> I personally don't remember it being that toxic. But even if it were whose responsibility should it be to deal with the toxicity?

Wrong way to frame the incentives. "Who benefits if the toxicity is dealt with?" is the relvant question.

(... and the answer is "the platform owner, assuming they attract more viewers with honey than acid." So, a predictable outcome if the premise holds).
No, that's a dishonest debate and it's a different thing.
> Profitability is, of course, necessary to keep any business alive, and studies show that racial, ethnic, and gender diversity contribute to business success. A McKinsey & Company study of 366 companies revealed a statistically significant connection between diversity and financial performance. The companies in the top quartile for gender diversity were 15% more likely to have financial returns that were above their national industry median, and the companies in the top quartile for racial/ethnic diversity were 35% more likely to have financial returns above their national industry median.

The Honest Results policy is that we're not going to allow advertisers or partners or any one with a relationship to Google to have an advantage in our unpaid search results.

As for ad labeling, I don't work on the ad side. I work on the Search side. My understanding from those on the ad side is that the labels are visible and do work. And ads are always labeled.
Agree with others, great advice. I suggested this once for my partner - she needed a laptop and loved her work laptop, so I suggested she look for a refurbished version of her work laptop for personal use, as business laptops often are fairly cheap after their warranty expires and the original owner returns it. She still uses it to this day.
Could be a lot of things, including wanting to buy a new car, yeah. But maybe I want to search for "new car smell", which is a thing. Maybe I want to read blogs or experiences people have buying new cars vs used.

Search as it is now is fundamentally at odds with us as our own agents. We're 30 years into the internet. I shouldn't just be presented with a magical search box that tries to figure out what I want and intermingles it with trash that makes them money and fosters a broken internet. Instead, I should get knobs, settings, configuration galore, include/exclude operators, filter lists, curated lists, sub-lists of internet sites, dynamic lists determined automatically by the search engine (only blogs, only forums, only search sites), etc. Who knows where search might be if we didn't have "magic" results from Google.

A good "taste" of what search might have been is if you look at Google's product or shopping search tab.

> I personally don't remember it being that toxic.

Then you're probably not remembering it right. Its toxicity levels were off the charts. I'd go out of my way to block the comments just so I couldn't see them when a video would be loading and have them ruin my day.

> But even if it were whose responsibility should it be to deal with the toxicity? The platform's or the content creator's?

Well, as they say, "my house, my rules". It's their house :-)

> People develop weak immune systems if they are protected from everything, it's not just a biological thing.

> We should be teaching people how to deal and withstand criticism whether valid or caustic.

Nobody can withstand internet criticism. We weren't built for this. We were built for a tribe of apes around us, most of which would leave us alone to not disturb the social hierarchy. There's no psyche on this planet that can withstand a torrent of crap thrown onto it from all over the world. See articles about Facebook moderators for more details (those poor souls!).
This makes a mistake of forgetting the part where none of this was new to us yet this homogenization and sterilization hadn't happened yet.
It sounds like you are projecting.
I think that’s the point and also what sho_hn is saying. There’s nothing inherently wrong with screens and touch controls it’s that the car companies have done a truly terrible job in implementation. We have lots of tech including haptics and other feedback to make these interfaces work far better for humans that isn’t being taken advantage of. On the other hand a great counterpoint is the story of the Mac Touch Bar. (I’m a software person who also works on cars)

Well, I think I mostly agree with you in theory. But I was just thinking about something else, let's say that algorithms giving secure wins and counting cards at blackjack are allowed, people starts winning and casino start losing, they have loss and let's say that it's not convenient anymore to have a casino, and they go out of business, country loses a revenue stream for taxes, people loses their jobs, and an industry doesn't exist anymore, or it goes black and doesn't pay taxes anymore, you need to invest money in police and investigations in order to catch unregulated games houses, betting people might be or not be paid, criminality gets its way, and everything can happen.. I am not sure but I think I agree with you in theory, in practice I think we would end up fighting another unfightable underground market at even a bigger cost to human life, it's just another human dependency that you can't fight starting from casinos or dealers, you need to start it at schools
70% of new HIV cases are among homosexual and bisexual men [1]. If we assume that the incidence of homosexuals and bisexuals among men is 5%, that means that homosexuals and bisexuals are 14x more likely to get infected with HIV than the general population, or 44x more likely than a non-homosexual male [2]. While 44x is certainly not "exclusive to", I think it qualifies as "mainly a problem for".

And, it should go without saying, but let's hope this vaccine pans out!

[1] https://www.cdc.gov/hiv/group/msm/msm-content/incidence.html

[2] 14x is compared to the general population 5% of which is comprised by gay and bisexual men. If 70% of HIV positive people belong to a 5% group, and 30% belong to the 95% group, that's (70%/5%)/(30%/95%) = 44x is the relative risk of contracting HIV if you belong to the gay/bisexual group than if you don't belong
Interesting but doesn't mention that the deliberateness of the effort by KSA/UAE to devalue the YER as an economic weapon so as to destabilise the Houthi control of the North. The result has been widely reported, and avoidable, economic famine and loss of life savings, as well as a mildly increased, but ineffective, pressure on the Houthi administration.

The effort to ever more closely approximate the older notes is going to continue for this callous reason, more so than the South's purchasing power reason given, which would only make sense in the presence of large trade flows with the North anyway.

Well, in computers our test plans generally run in seconds.

If you had to push code and wait a year for feedback then how you tested and pushed code would change dramatically.

Now imagine the environment you were pushing code to was

1. Always changing in very small ways that could sometimes have huge affects due to completely random variable changes you had no control over.
2. Every host your ran your software on 'could be' different in ways that are incompatible and you have no way of testing all of them.

> Sony paid 20x less for Bungie. What they lack in variety of products, they make up for in, in my view, Potential.

Not really. Destiny has a smaller audience than CoD, and Activision Blizzard is a huge purchase with lots a of valuable IPs that go beyond CoD and can still grow (Bungie, OTOH, currently only has Destiny in it's catalog).

Bungie revenue was estimated around $300 million for 2019 vs. $6,5b for Activision Blizzard, so price seems to be in line for both purchases, around 8x annual rev.

Keep in mind Microsoft has bought ton of small studios as well! (Rare, Playground).

Returnal is a good title, but far from being a success by AAA standards (last time they reported sales of the game, in June 2021. it was 560.000 copies). I think part of the aura of success comes from being one of the very few exclusive titles created specifically for the PS5.
> IxO tokens are totally different. By providing liquidity on day one (before you have anything) and opening it up to anyone of any level of sophistication is an abject disaster. These tokens aren't linked to equity, they aren't linked to business value, they don't provide voting rights. They're just fun little tokens.

This isn't true though, many of these have locked liquidity that's distributed over some vesting period.

It's true that the vesting periods are typically much shorter in crypto than in traditional non-crypto businesses (6 months to a year are common vesting periods), but there are businesses which have done periods as long as 4 years to full vesting. I'll dig up some examples and edit this

edit with examples:

- Uniswap (which basically invented the AMM) has a 4 year vesting period: https://uniswap.org/blog/uni

- Beethoven X (which forks and improves on a different AMM protocol that provides multi-asset portfolio style liquidity pools) vests 95% of the team allocation linearly over a 4 year period: https://docs.beethovenx.io/beets/tokenomics

There are plenty of websites that detect that I'm using an adblocker. It's mildly annoying, but then I get to decide if what I was about to read was worth it.

Most of the time it's journaldemontreal.com (and other Quebecor-related websites) that prevents me from reading their articles with my adblocker. Which is a blessing in a way, because it's basically a glorified tabloid with a lot of articles of dubious quality.

I'm on Firefox with both AdBlockPlus and uBlock Origin.
Are people capable of learning? If not, then why read Hacker News at all? Here is a technique that clearly is powerful when done well, so why not read the anecdotes and try to internalize the lessons? If you are in a leadership position, how about you push yourself to learn what that means, and then push yourself to get better and better? Stories like this are one of many ways to learn a new leadership technique.
> it'd present a shift from their long-held strategy of having the comment downvote button do absolutely nothing.

This seems to be a common refrain, despite little evidence to back it up. Just because the dislike button doesn't render a count doesn't mean that it isn't being counted and used to weight comments.
Thank you, makes sense!
I think it depends on what you're watching. People can have very different experiences on the same site, because they choose which content to consume.
