You are right, FiveM is absolutely worth mentioning separately as it seems to underpin most modded servers. I'm aware of the distinction and I wasn't attempting to downplay the work people put into the FiveM framework or non-Nopixel servers. My apologies to any FiveM devs if my comment came off that way.

The reason I call out Nopixel specifically is that server' recent prominence and popularity may affect Rockstar's plan for GTA6. For better or for worse, the Nopixel brand has moved GTAV modding towards the mainstream and that has the potential to affect all future modding.

I'm pretty much in agreement with your predictions and concerns about RP in GTA6, I think this is a widely shared view. In addition to your concern about mechanics overriding RP, I would also say that (from my view) RP seems to be most successful when mod devs and admins are closely integrated with the community and able to tweak/add content to prevent things getting stale. It's very hard to see how that could happen with Rockstar administering RP servers.
Their second tweet doesn't make sense. How does his feeling of betrayal mean that the employees betrayed their principles and should therefore leave?

That's a projection of his own belief in the way it should work onto the beliefs of thousands of employees who may not share his thoughts on the matter.
> Canada is a monolith

Canada must be separated into 100 different pointless micro services each with a different docker configuration created by the summer C.S. intern.

HN joke.
It's very spread out, in far northern locations, where roads and infrastructure don't exist. These are microscopic bubbles released very slowly over all of Russia and northern Canada. It'd be an economic money pit to attempt to harvest gas that way. Better to put all that money towards making batteries to supplement renewables.
It’s ~10,052,473 times faster than the earth spins, so it’s got that going for it.
How does your experiment demonstrate that all protons are indistinguishable?

Couldn't it be that your measurement for a proton being at A' is simply measuring the wrong feature of the protons?

edit: I have no idea if protons are indistinguishable from one another, but this experiment doesn't seem compelling.
Two protons P0 and P1 are the same only if they match in every single quantum parameter.
I know a programmer who moved to Colorado, mainly because he likes to be able to go out on hikes and that sort of thing.
How do you know? They're both based on neural networks. JBIG2 was also responsible for the Pegasus FORCEDENTRY thing.
Your hypothetical seems to describe a current inability to differentiate between protons, rather than convincing me that protons must be identical. Is this like the monsters on old sea maps, just a gate around an unknown?
The question was whether HN = Silicon Valley. Just poll for "Silicon Valley" and "not Silicon Valley."
Well, I know many victims of Communism in Bulgaria, who were silenced and now support silencing! And I don't get this!
This feels pretty stawman-y to me. They are meant to be highly digestible examples of everything the framework has to offer. They can be read through quite quickly, yet people still fail to and then you have people who don't know what scopes are or reinvent ways to do enums and what-have-you just because they weren't aware this stuff exists already. If you need to drill down into a specific topic, that's what the docs and blog posts are for. Having the level of detail you describe in the guides would only turn-off newcomers even more.
I agree, there's some tragedy of the commons here. But while I think technology will be one of the big factors, I also think it's used as a reason for people to avoid the cognitive dissonance of hard choices. Why should I have to do something unpleasant when I can just wait for technology to save us? We don't apply that same thinking to something like cigarette smoking ("why quit when I can just count on medical technology to save me?").

In abstract problems I think policy is needed to drive such collective action. The best outcomes seem to be when regulation and the market coexist toward the same goal.
I agree with your first point in the sense that having individualised targeting data necessarily improves advertising by some amount vs. merely contextual and aggregate data. For our specific case I'm not convinced that amount is as big as some people imagine it is, but I haven't found a good way to test that precisely given that facebook doesn't really have a "just give me a representative sample of your audience in this region" targeting feature (wish it did) to compare with the targeted alternatives. In our case, app ads that now use SKAN (the Apple solution that provides aggregated attribution) seem to be working well enough - that was my point.

Regarding your second point, yes, I agree - it's not obvious. Assuming this did indeed affect many developers like us and that it happened to everyone at the same time (which may not be the case - that it happened to us and that it coincided with their earnings report may have just been a coincidence - I haven't seen a mass outcry on twitter or anything), I was wondering whether it might be hedge funds that buy/track aggregated ad spend or attribution data, perhaps from MMPs or media buying agencies. I know they buy app download data from the likes of App Annie, but don't know if equivalent data is available and timely for ad spend. In any case, my point is more that this is illustrative of how they make bad situations worse for themselves.
Team Ireland ftw!

9 people isn’t bad for a small island.
I don't think minecraft has microtransactions though. I don't think a quarter billion sales is $6 billion.
Managers are indeed stack ranked at amazon. Only L7 and above escape this, and typically they don't have an option to PIP/Focus, they're just straight out shown the door.
Depending on how much cooking you do, you could trial keeping your stove for anything requiring the open flame and using an induction hotplate for the majority of your other cooking. They are available for ~$50 and you can get dual-burner versions for under $200 (e.g. https://www.amazon.com/Cuisinart-ICT-60-Double-Induction-Coo...)
Not only that, but even then the 100 companies thing is complete BS. That's a measure of consolidation of energy companies, nothing more. If they all merged into a single gigantic hyper-corporation, it wouldn't change emissions. If they split into a million companies, all with 1/10000 the market share of the 100, again, the same.

The statistic is completely meaningless in the context of emissions. The only relevant statistics are total emissions. The atmosphere doesn't count a carbon atom differently by the market cap of the company that dig it up. It doesn't even count them differently if a person emits a tonne or 1000 people emit 1kg each.
France 28 vs Germany 68 vs Italy 11

I guess that says a lot about the tech scene in Italy
Look at the temporal.io. It is essentially a BPM system that uses Go (as well as Java/PHP/Typescript) to specify business process. And a queue + DB is never simpler for such scenarios.

>>My parents live in India and one day I want them living with me, and that is easier in the US too as there is no lottery or wait time for immediate relatives (Canada has lottery system, 200k people apply for the same 20k spots and more and more people will be applying each year). But, Canada has a Supervisa system where parents can come to Canada with me as a PR and live for two years.

Before 2014 it used to be that if you wanted your parents to immigrate then it was almost impossible (or very expensive) to afford private US healthcare for them becase they wouldn't qualify for Medicare for at least 5 years. Healthcare in the US is expensive without a health insurance plan to offset costs.

Since then, my understanding is that the combination of Obama's ACA and Biden's recent ARP now allows purchasing affordable elderly healthcare insurance plans a possibility until they qualify for Medicare.

Canada is great for multi-generational families wishing to be in one place together at around the same time since healthcare is often the biggest problem for elderly parents. But if only your nuclear family (you, spouse, kids) will be immigrating for a longer period before your parents arrive, then perhaps the US would be better.
Ui state managegent has to live somewhere. All of the solutions that try to do it server side I tried eventually smear it all over the place.
Regions aren't defined by their cities.
these are called "suitcase words" and this is special to only (?) German language.. this is also a valid German word and actually have been used in the legislative area:

Rindfleischetikettierungsüberwachungsaufgabenübertragungsgesetz

beef meat labeling monitoring tasks transfer law = the law for the transfer of monitoring tasks (to a other entity)for monitoring the correct labeling of beef meat)

or:

Aufmerksamkeitsdefizit-Hyperaktivitätsstörung

(attention deficit - hyperactivity disorder)

stupid! :)
I'm curious why these practices continue despite what seem to be obvious deficiencies.
The bible is good for children to learn!
As I type this Texas is at 35 votes; looks like 5th behind California, Canada, Germany, and the UK
A number of government regulations still require hankos, which is one of the reasons e-signatures aren't more heavily used. The government has been aiming for digitalization, and part of that is eliminating regulations that require hankos, so e-signatures have been becoming more usable lately.

Hanko culture, however, is harder to kill off. Part of that is things like more senior employees having larger hankos, needing to tilt your hanko signature to "bow" to your managers, etc. Japanese E-signature platforms generally have seals, and offer features to change the size of the seal, and to rotate it, to support the cultural aspects of hanko culture.
What about half life 3?
This comment section is rich coming from a group that does thing like massively charge more for "enterprise plans" that are are basically nothing except SSO. You charge based on how much the person on the other side wants your stuff, not how much it costs to provide it. And businesses moving a lot of product on iOS definitely want it more.
Why? I've cooked on all different sorts of heating sources and haven't noticed a big enough difference to justify health and climate issues. If cooking is the application of heat to food, a skillful chef should be able to use a variety of heat sources, no?
I remember reading somewhere that much of the emissions blamed on the meat and dairy industry were actually due to the oil industry not being transparent. I may have misremembered or misunderstood, but it all seems very fishy to me.
There are various levels of that. You could have things damn near from scratch. You could reuse the same game engine (like Unreal). You could reuse more, where it’s mostly the same game code with new content. Civ 5 -> Alpha Centauri was like that. Then you can have expansions or DLCs that really are just additions.

I imagine (hope) this change is on the deeper side. GTA V is quite old.
This is an argument that an amobea must be concious, no?
Yes and no. It's a lot in the sense that we are way off from what we believed or knowledge to be. But on absolute scale, it's not a lot. The current determination of the Rydberg constant puts it at 10973731.568160 1/m with an uncertainty of 0.000021 1/m. So a relative precision of ~2*10^-12 (or maybe only 10^-11).

The standard acceleration of gravity is, btw, defined, so no uncertainty. The gravitational constant G is known only to 10^-5 or so.
Im sure every company does it differently, but i heard that Valve has repository set up in a way that trunk is latest version of source engine and then they make new branch for each game.
Programming language is not natural language, think more how did you learn math?
Would be interesting to see it expressed as a % of population as well to see HN density, as well as quantity.
I guess you haven't heard about the red seaweed and reducing cow methane emissions?

Say something is impossible is a defeatist attitude, or perhaps the "my camp or you are evil" posturing that dominates contemporary online interaction.
I was thinking the same thing. If you read the experiment described but replace the word "proton" with "cat" -- I would just assume that the scientists in question were from a society with very coarse senses and measurements, not that all cats are indistinguishable.
Correct. You'd get a lot of people who suddenly seem to live in Columbus, Ohio or other random non-tech spots within USA due to AWS VPN and other such things.
This makes no sense, say apple drops the $99 developer fee. The 30% commission is suddenly justified?
Self-hosted ads COULD be a dramatic improvement, if the companies start vetting these ads in some way

My guess is it'll result in backend web modules that make it easy to automatically dynamically re-host the same virus- and tracker-infested malware ads we all hate
My complaint is that it is extremely modal and as a result not very friendly, not intuitive even to a relatively experienced CAD user.

I’ve used a variety of CAD and it just really didn’t click. I know it’s open source, so not going to be as UX oriented, but still.

I would love to be proved wrong. If there’s something I’m missing please share.
On the contrary, protons are baryons and they must each have a unique quantum state (they must be in a unique/distinct location).
Wordle and NYT: Feel Your Feelings
Right, but Apple is a mobile phone company, not a mobile app company. iOS app companies exist entirely at the pleasure of Apple, just like companies who depend on the Twitter API.
> This is only fascinating if you refuse to accept a non supernatural or non metaphysical definition of consciousness.

That's a failure to appreciate the beauty, complexity and wonders of our brains, bodies and environment. No effort on appreciating, but still wanting to feel special. Thus, consciousness simply has to have a supernatural element. It wouldn't be fun otherwise.
It is a misconception that things are ill-defined just because they are at a quantum scale. The proton has an electric charge distribution. The definition of the proton size used here is the root mean square charge radius of that charge distribution.
I enjoyed it. Shame we never got a sequel. Great fun, great gameplay. I wouldn't consider it quite Rockstar tier though. :)
hard to say. probably the people who are high enough to make any change are too removed from the action to see the problems. maybe stories like this going viral will change things (companies do anything these days to avoid bad PR).
The same can be said for England vs UK (or London vs England for that matter). I say that as an expat in London…
Because the premise of the question was Silicon Valley, so they need a category that separates Silicon Valley away from as much as possible without making the list too long. So split every state out and then have every country after that as those are also "outside silicon valley". If it was just the US as a single option it would not actually fit the premise of the question.

This question feels primarily aimed at the US population, IMO.
want to contribute! I don't have a mac, so it makes it hard to test out such a feature, but we are very open to contributions :)
> (ignoring this past week)

How can you ignore this past week when this past week is _directly related_ to their account growth falling off a cliff because of the exact over-saturation of the market we're discussing here?
>No other country just lets you walk in

There's a massive difference between "just walk in" and what we actually have: waiting a hundred years for the probable chance at a backlog somewhere being cleared to process your highly restrictive visa. You are being hyperbolic.

>Illegal immigration causes family hardship, deaths from the journey, 33% chance of rape for girls, human trafficking, cartel violence / funding, gang proliferation, etc.

All those effects are caused by the militarization of the border and the failure to create realistic paths to citizenship. You are blaming the victims of our system for the horrors that are visited upon them by people that take advantage of the artificially high barriers.
You can, but that is obviously not a happy path the svelte devs want you to use. 90%+ of tutorials and docs out there are for doing things with sveltekit.

I eventually beat it into shape of generating a true SPA, generating paths that weren't at the root of the domain, and I convinced express to serve up assets accordingly. Took way too many days to get it working though.
It's a demo experiment, like whe the physics teacher swinga a heavy pendulum at their own nose, or shoots a BB gun at a falling toy.
I was a little dissapointed to see Canada was not divided into the provinces.
You mean like the "One-electron universe" postulate [1]? First, I don't think it's really useful beyond being a fun idea to consider. Also there's a lot more matter than antimatter, which raises some... logistical problems. Also, unlike electrons/positrons, protons are not fundamental particles, they're made up of quarks which throws a whole other wrench in the idea.

How many options do you have for gas, water, or power where you live? If I don't like the $18 a month fee for my gas bill, before I use a single ccf of natural gas can I just not use it?

If I don't like the app store fees can I just not use it? You see what I'm getting at?
I just like it more.
I mean, why not? It's not the first but one of the first FM synths and the one that definitely made the biggest splash. Affordable and versatile so it became a staple in studios, music classes and with home players as well.

The sound chip YM2612 is also what elevated video game audio when it was still in its' infancy to something more akin to "real" sounding instruments.

Historically it's been very influential since the 80s so it's no wonder it's struck a chord with people now in their 30s, 40s and older.
If there were a small number of sites where the gas was emitted, akin to the way rivers tend to combine into one larger river, then the idea would be good. The problem is that the emissions are happening over hundreds of thousands of square miles. Putting a dome over all of it to capture the gas is not possible.
Potential reason: the skin uses Radar-Absorbent Material, which is sensitive to weather and sun. Or they actually have people working on it and they don't want too cook in the sun and aircraft wind/dust/Foreign Object Damage (FOD). Who knows.
I am not a big gamer myself (mostly RPGs) but I distinctly remember the impression GTA IV left on me. It felt so advanced in terms of graphics and physics at the time.

GTA 6 was definitely expected - looking forward to see what they come up with in the new installment.
> Rockstar is notorious for being hostile to modders.

I wonder why. Mods have been a part of GTA for so long. Why can't they just embrace it?
Computer architecture books of the 1980s mostly featured the B5000 and the CDC 6600 as poster children for what could be done with hardware. Some IBMs too, of course.
I always find it fascinating what monopolies are allowed in other countries. As a European I can only shake my head at the consolidation of the gaming industry right now. That would most probably not be allowed here. How can two companies buy up companies like Bungie and Activision? That's toxic to the economy imho.
A major Grand Theft Auto release is these days rare (in fact, a new game from R* is rare). R* truly pushes the boundaries and gets the most out of the generation of console platforms it is running on. The incredible attention to detail is frankly astonishing if you compare it to other games. Each installment brings something new not only to the franchise, but also to gaming in general. E.g., GTA 4 brought Bullet physics with Euphoria's natural motion engine in action in 2008. The latter wasn't just a tool/library they can simply import into the engine: it had to be customized and blended into the game engine itself (engineers from the company behind Euphoria were brought in-house to integrate it). In addition, the amazing dynamic vehicle damage.. It was way ahead of its time [1]. AFAIK, they hire quite a lot of PhDs in comparison to other game companies, likely because they care about research/innovation, and (of course) can afford it too.
Whenever you have time, have a look at one of their GDC talks [2] [3]. Even the in-house tooling is quite advanced.

[1] How vehicle damage was implemented (Erwin Coumans, creator of Bullet physics who also helped R* develop the physics of GTA, shared this email from R* North): https://pybullet.org/Bullet/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?p=16852#p16...

Defining monopoly by marketshare is shallow. Best monopoly is when your customers switching costs are high. Thats why some of FAMG is with so good friends with Lawmakers. To provide political protection.

I am not from US, but what I see from my experience there is one huge problem with mergers (besides all other): too big to fail. If you become systematical player like big banks and if you intentionally or non-intentionally get in trouble. You will be bailed out, not go bankrupt. This turns on God mode for Corporations, this create intention become reckless.
If big banks would not be bailled out in 2008. Most likely we would see at least some kind of fragmetation.
Germany has roughly the same ratio of English speakers to the above and this is an English language site. 23m vs 45m vs 17m respectively.
Apple sells a device that is called an iPhone how is it any more general purpose than a powerful computer sold as a game console?

Heck most of Apple’s App Store revenue comes from games.
If one is a "phenomenological zombie", i.e. does not have subjective experience (SE), then Dennett's position is the only one that makes any sense. The only thing to explain, is why others are believing this SE illusion.

Those of us who do have SE, and have recognized it, know something the zombies cannot know: that SE must exist.
Google seriously needs to realize that a large part of Statia's failure is their reputation.

The question of "When is google going to kill it" was almost ways the first thing that was mentioned when someone brought it up. On basically every article, reddit post, etc.

Sure they were going up against 3 major players that already had the relationships. But asking someone to not only buy a piece of hardware, but then also buy games that you could not play on Steam when you have a reputation for killing products... that makes it DOA before its even announced.

At least Amazon's is subscription based so if they cancel it you would only be out the original purchase price really.
Societal usefulness is not defined in a vacuum - it’s fundamentally based on the principles of everyone in the society. And judging by the people who chose not to share data with Facebook, society is better off without the targeted ads.
Well,sure,I use Vimium anyway. But we shall see.
