It's possible to find something funny and be highly critical of it at the same time. Laughing at something outrageously bad is a pretty standard reaction.

On one hand, it's exciting tech [old] news. On the other, people who play competitive games must hope for a solution against abuse. The rest of us must hope it isn't an invasive solution such as, what effectively is, kernel malware.
GameStop was never banned from WSB. It is the 3rd most discussed ticker in the past 30 days. (After SPY and TSLA) [0]

GME had it's own daily thread well into April, at which point it was still completely dominating with significantly lower quality discussion that extended outside the GME specific daily thread.

Once we ended the daily thread and asked people to move to r/GME or r/SuperStonk, people incorrectly assumed it was banned, and continued to repeat this narrative, despite our repeated mentions that it was not banned.

Also, the WSB mod team is more or less the same as it was in 2019 or earlier. The majority of the team has been around for 6+ years.

I have seen a gaming laptop that fits your description, I don't remember the details properly but it's a decent in terms of ergonomics.
I was a Lego obsessed kid through the 90s and 00s, and now I have a school age son who is similarly devoted to it. Lego today is waaaayyy cooler than it was when I was a kid.

I got the very first Lego Star Wars set, Lukes X-Wing [1], and while I loved it as a kid the newest Xwing that my son just got [2] is so much better on every level. It's bigger, more detailed, looks sleeker, and has this really clever mechanism that opens the wings synchronously when you press down on a piece.

All the new sets are this way. The care and detail that Lego puts into them has dramatically improved in the last 20 years.

He still takes them apart a few months after he gets them and builds something new. I don't think that will ever change, the thrill of making something on your own will never go away. Furthermore, the online community of people making things and sharing their creations has exploded since I was a child. We had a single user forum (LUGnet) where a small handful of people congregated. All images were uploaded to a single, tiny website (brickshelf) to be shared. Now you have youtube channels, instagram pages, tiktok creators, subreddits, you name it. The resources available for creating and sharing your own designs is massive!

I think if Facebook leaves Europe someone who plays by the rules will quickly take their space. It's not like creating a photo-sharing site or social network is hard to do. Facebook is only still around because of the network effect someone else would be happy to move in.

One year of one teacher tutoring one student contains far more attention than 12 years of one teacher teaching 30 children.

Also, school is as much a daycare so the parents can go to work, as it is a place of "learning".

Furthermore, you study specifically to pass tests. Actual learning is a secondary side-effect of education.
I'd say brusies come and go but medicating something can alter neurochemistry on a much more fundamental level. Especially in children/teens.

That sounds like a really aggressive engineering plan (probably with its own low carbon packaging). I can see why that would be destructive.

But are they going against the common good? Maybe they are helping the common good, by choosing different health strategy and different politics from the rest. There are other ways to stay healthy than getting the vaccine, and it is good for the nation to have diversity in this.

In any case, I agree in principle that limited resources of healthcare in hospitals should be spent wisely and fairly, e.g. in case of overload, put very old, or obviously bad lifestyle people on the backburner. Also, COVID is not the only health problem and postponing all surgeries/cancer treatments because of many COVID cases does not seem right. This is not a simple topic though.

Do you 'own' the OS or do you 'use' it?
This one has been around for a few years now, without much active development.

Ah yes, the Fascism boogeyman. Any slightly authoritarian thing my ideological "enemy" supports is fascism and it's taking away our freedoms. So we need to strike first to remove those freedoms to prevent fascism.

Then simply have the anti-cheat option be the default option? Most casual players will not bother opting out.

Sounds like it works, then.
> The MSP's policy can be whatever they want as long as it IS advertised.

No.

Suppose the MSP uses bayesian filtering? How would one go about advertising a policy that depends on bayesian filtering? You'd have to publish the contents of your filter table. The only people who could benefit from that would be spammers, who could use the data to customise their spam.

In general, telling the world what your filtering policies are is just going to cause spammers to try to sidestep your policies. The only policy that you maybe ought to publish would be along the lines of "We filter out spam; that sometimes results in false positives. Sorry."
Surely you agree that public service should deliver good service to as many people as possible ? Burning resources on a service from which very few benefit (that's what low ridership means) is not conducive to that. Those resources should be deployed elsewhere.
> If you have read the gospel of Mary, why don't you tell us more about your take on in? How does it differ from the other male written accounts? What in your opinion makes it more authentic? What does it talk about that the others don't? Please give us something more details that the generic "not authentic" refrain.

Given the conversation that lead up to this point, I’m going to respectfully decline this offer because I’m not really in the mood to risk another argument on another topic.

> If you don't remember the books in the bible that give a females account despite saying that's what the bible lacks

I didn’t say the Bible lacked any female accounts. I said it lacks specific accounts from specific people who, in my opinion, absolutely should have been in there.

> It's also really interesting how you said that it is "harder to grok than Shakespeare", then turn around and say that reading the whole book isn't that impressive anyways ..

Reading Shakespeare isn’t all that impressive either.

And yes, I did say the Bible is harder to grok than Shakespeare. But that doesn’t mean completing either is a spectacular achievement.

I’ve got to say, I’m not loving the sub-text you keep deriving from my comments given you’ve been wildly off on pretty much every assumption.

> There is actually a whole profession that revolves around modifying the work of the original author. They are called "book editors".

Book editors generally work in conjunction with the author but at least we are now on topic. :)

I take it from that is that you don’t see an issue with reading a reinterpretation that happened without the authors input?

Weirdly I enjoy that sort of thing in music but dislike it in literature. Which probably doesn’t make much sense but you like what you like.

> If I want to hear someones pure, pristine, unedited account, I'll have a face to face conversation with them. Not read their books.

Unfortunately Mary and Jesus aren’t around to converse with but I do take your point.

Putting aside questions about the truth behind Bible specifically, can I assume from your comment that you view non-fiction works as a dramatisation too?
There is no difference price wise between old school taxis and Uber here. Except during the congestion charge times when Uber costs more.
I wouldn't have down voted this comment, but I guess people are objecting because using C as the backend doesn't really tell us anything about performance. If the C code the Nim compiler generates is inefficient, the resulting program will still be slow. I imagine it is difficult to convert a Nim program into efficient C.
All benchmarks are informative, also all benchmarks are imperfect and incomplete, for reasons you have specified and many others.

However it is a mistake to then suppose that nothing can be known and just go ahead and use Python to make a AAA first person shooter.

I think it is not unreasonable to believe language (and word use) and thinking patterns are connected. The fact that these relate (and yes, that different words lead to different thinking patterns) is well understood in practicing areas of psychology.
> A store cannot dictate how much you charge for a product at a different retailer

Isn’t this exactly what is happening everywhere you see “we price match!” or “low price guarantee”?

Platforms can and do require sellers to provide the lowest price, and take whatever measures including offing violators from the platform if this means they suffer losses every time a buyer does their research.

Not even mentioning exclusivity clauses, which are very much legal and very much dictate your relationship with other distributors.

I’m not saying Apple is doing that, but there are so many precedents that I doubt this practice is illegal.

> they have no right to interfere with your business activity

If you choose to do business with them, they are literally taking part in your business activity. No one made you sign the contract (presumably you have done so in expectation of benefitting from the platform, which would attract users to you since its owner develops products that users want). Calling this “interference” is nonsensical.
Smart is laughable, they are just functions that live on someone else’s computer. ;)
If you don't trust American chips, then what chips do you trust?

We certainly don't have much choice when it comes to choosing chips. It's an incredibly expensive process and only a select few superpowers can successfully maintain semiconductor industries.

I did a lot of cheat development and always read the related forums.
Let me tell you that kernel anti-cheats are the funniest and ugliest pieces of software out there.

Almost ALL exhibit rootkit behaviour. Capture all OS events, dig through system and user directories, list all processes, fetch DNS and browser histories, block certain system calls, and more just to name a few. But hey! Their software (including drivers) are signed by Microsoft, so that’s alright :))

Funny part is that all those drivers are created by no other than ex-community members, under no advisory from system specialists or security experts. So guess what? Security vulnerabilities all around. Pretty much all their drivers are wide open and unsecure.

Nice fun having persistent, kernel-level, system-trusted exploits auto-installed on your system!

Oh, almost forgot, BattlEye has the ability to download custom bytecode from their servers and execute it. RCE baked right in. Good stuff.

So your frustration is more than reasonable..

EDIT: I will try to find the posts pointing to all vulns that I mentioned, and cite them.
I was fortunate enough to have the "right" amount of legos, enough that I could mostly build what I wanted but not enough that I was always missing pieces / colours and pushed to engineer around limitations. I credit legos to developing my mechanical and spatial aptitude. I remember playing with less fortunate collections and wonder if these qualities would have been stunted if I had less, or if I could have been spoiled if given too much. I do know I'm very envious of not growing up with minecraft where having unlimited resources or being forced to manage resource seem to develop more skills. What's the situation with building legos in VR?

Bay Area calls on homeowners to help house homeless residents
Right. And if it was publicly traded, the share price would quickly rise to a point where anything less then 10x those billions would make the stock a bad investment, forcing late-buyers to push leadership into making that 10x real. Rinse and repeat.
Yeah that's one hell of a Rubik's cube. OP should add a "shuffle" button and make a game where you win if you return to the original (or a specific) shape within some error.
>Removing damn near all city parking spaces.

The absolute arrogance of thinking that the city should use some of their most valuable real estate so that you can cheaply store your personal property is baffling.

>If you live downtown and you have a bike it is kinda nice. Except we have winters (should not surprise many) when travelling by bike a good option. (Yes there is a tiny minority who risk life and limb by biking all year around)

Entirely a question of infrastructure maintenance and entirely not a question of geography. Cars only work in the winter because of the high amount of money spent on making roads accommodate winter driving, and the same is not done for bicycle infrastructure.

>This is mitigated in part by a sharp increase in bikes with electric engines. (Which I am not a huge fan of since it takes a near zero polluting vehicle and bang on a not ideally green battery)

If only someone told you about this other type of vehicle that has to run on fossil fuels, or be extremely heavy in order to carry around a decently-sized battery.

>I think spending many millions of dollars to make Oslo better for bikes is an unfortunate strategy. If they instead spent the money in improving and expanding public transit (something sorely needed) it would benefit a lot more people all year round.

False dichotomy - it's entirely possible to do both, in particular if you continue to divest in absurdly expensive car infrastructure.

I'm sorry to hear about your injury. It's odd that you do not qualify for an exception if you are as restricted as you say. I wish you luck in getting that sorted out . That doesn't mean that we need to accommodate non-disabled car users in cities, though.

>Anti car movement seems best for rich, healthy young people.

Not at all. People with reduced mobility generally benefit from not having to risk being hit by cars when they traverse the built environment, plus public transportation is a great option for people who are not allowed to drive on account of their disability. Finally, those that do have a disability that requires them to move around using a car, they benefit from having streets with less car traffic on, so that they can efficiently move about the built environment.
It could, but at the moment it puts a garbage collector in there, though there are modes where you can turn that off. I haven't used Nim in a while so I don't know what the implications of disabling GC are at the moment.
Ah, the old Lance Armstrong argument.
> ability to rent/get a mortgage by not being full time/CDI

You can plan ahead and take a FTE position when you need to rent/loan for real estate. If you do a lot of these investments then I agree it is a disadvantage, but for most people that's easy to sort out.

Show HN: Real-time testing multiplayer game with Playwright framework
We haven't seen many electric motorbikes yet, though ebikes (bicycles) are taking off. It'd be interesting to see how the two merge (fast/powerful ebike vs electric motorcycle).

To me the main concerns are:

- Commodity vs personal: taxis, trains and hire-bikes are convenient from a shared-ownership perspective, but inconvenient in that you can better customise the experience of having you own vehicle.

- luggage & shelter: a bike / motorbike limits how much luggage you can carry. Also, a car is a much nicer environment that motorcycle leathers in all-weather; It's also easier to get in/out of a car than it is to change clothes.

I wonder if some of this can be improved by mere infrastructure: better dedicated roads highways for certain types of vehicle, better (secure) parking, city storage facilities for commuters etc.
Resource about estimation and scrum points
I would like a resource (book, website) that go more into the subject of estimation, poker planning and scrum points. I find most scrum books just mentioning this shortly. Is there any good book out there?

Funny how it got banned on Reddit, you got the full Reddit experience.
I read the whole thing and loved it. Great work. I wish I could watch the film!
Yes and no, and it depends on your requirements:

- Social security: covered by the state through social taxes (URSSAF) like employees
- Benefits: you're the boss, you can be wild :)
- Renting / getting a mortgage: bankers are more and more inclined to examine your situation, especially if you can provide a good track record of recurrent / constant revenue stream

In any case, I agree completely with the original comment: going solo in France is one way to break the "glass ceiling" in terms of net revenue and career path is you feel entrepreneur.
The phrase "a custom TLD `.js.org`" doesn't make any sense.

That's a pretty good analogy—twitter is to media companies, as power plants are to power companies.

Oh the 9510 also has its surprises.
First the Microsoft bluetooth mouse constantly went sleeping for about 500ms when not moving it. This annoyed the hell out of me. After lots of research I found some guys recommending to disable all sleep features on all the drivers in the device manager. This sure fixed it.
But now, I have the exact same issue with the internal track pad, when running on battery power!

Meanwhile the MacBook Air M1 just works. For each and every feature.

It's sad, but as a Windows Dev, the XPS15 still is a great machine. You just have to know and adapt to its bad parts.
Reminds me of this brief scene from Community. RIP Michael K Williams: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V8e2f9j-iJo
It goes to intent, which is as important as the methodology. Intent is important enough that it is the second step in the scientific process. I can understand why this might be over someone's head, but it really is freshman level communication/rhetorical analysis.
Note that an important component is this is a followup to a previous article which showed that the M1+ (Pro or Max) E-cores can run above twice the frequency of the M1’s, thus usually yielding equivalent to faster performances on half the cores.

This points out that (relatively logically) that only works if the cores are under active load computational load.

> It would be interesting to see which one has the lower power usage during these tasks as well, given that regular M1 is a desktop machine (Mini in this case) and M1 Pro is a laptop.

The form factor is not really a factor, the M1 is also present in laptops and I don’t think I’ve seen any evidence that the mini’s M1 is tuned in any way.

That said the previous articles on the subject (“1 + 1 = 4” and “how M1 E cores win”) indicated that the E cluster of the M1+ reach 200mW at full residency and frequency (200% at 2GHz), while the E cluster of the M1 tops out around 165mW. Note that this is for the entire cluster of respectively 2 and 4 cores.
So then you're still using a PC, but remotely
Hah, thank you! I have certainly savoured that compliment. Cheers.
> The real problem here is how do we break the social norms that induce censorship?

This is what Marcuse invented his "Repressive Tolerance" for. Platform censored, unfashionable ideas everywhere, irrespective of their underlying merits - and strive to deplatform fashionable, censorious ones. The point was not to defend society against anything inherently problematic, contrary to what's sometimes claimed - but merely to push the very notion and social norm of a "managed", fad-driven discourse to its breaking point. It's pretty much the trollish 4chan model under a different name.
I would add that very likely that text, like many similar ones, are proto-stories, not unlike the judgement of Solomon:

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

I wouldn't be surprised if a same or similar story is present in other cultures.
> "How can any cryptographer EVER figured out any trick to crack these hash algorithms?!"

More so, "How can any cryptographer EVER figure out any trick to come up with these hash algorithms?!"
Seriously, they are incredibly impressive mathematical algorithms. Even coming up with an algorithm that is able to show the avalanche effect is mind boggling. To make sure that the algorithm is not biased to a set of samples AND shows the avalanche effect is tremendously mind blowing.
This is like sharing popcorn when the playground bully picks on a kid you don't like.
> Here in Canada we actually removed freedom of speech.

Canadian here. Whether one sympathizes with the truckers or not, or has a more nuanced opinion, claiming that free speech was removed (implying some official stance) is hyperbolic. I will concede that the Charter is more vague than I'd like on where the boundaries of free expression lie.

As for GoFundMe, wasn't their decision - whether you agree with it or not - the decision of a private company that's free to choose with whom it conducts business?
It's about running the clock. They know full well that requiring the extra modal and demanding a 27% tax on top runs flagrantly against the intent of the law.

But they both discourage people from introducing third party payments and continue to collect their cut while the government now has to start the enforcement process again, take them to court again, etc.

When the profit scheme is so good, you just want to keep it running as long as possible, and this does that. Most court appeals you'll see in each case sound incredibly stupid on their face and you wonder why they'd pay a lawyer to argue it... but it's just because legal proceedings take time. The profits they make are so obscene, and the fines they'll pay for it are minimal in comparison.

Apple and Google are just crooks, full stop.
