Everything is legal until it's not. Unless someone takes it to court they will get away with it. When that happens they will find a slightly more expensive and slightly more legal way to prevent piracy. Rinse and repeat.
But the properties were bought and everything was done in legal agreement with the government, no? Do you have any sources for the claim that they are "pushing them off their land?" I kept semi up to date with the project and news around it until a few months ago and I don't remember ever seeing any substantiated claims about that, although from articles and things like this it is obvious that not everyone is happy about the situation.
Because actors are expensive. Reshoots are even more of a cost if things change.

With this, you just have the character do exactly what you want, when you want, without needing to talk to an agent.
I got it on my second try in the EU.
The downsides of weight, safety, exercise were what got me to back to bikes after 4 years and thousands of km on a OneWheel. I gained ~10% bodyweight while I commuted with the OW and lost it all within a couple months of biking.
Do you remember the nintendo ds? Piracy was really awful on this one, especially in Japan. Almost no one bought original games until flash cards were finally banned.
I had a similar experience as a child, it's really hard to oversell how easy it was to pirate games for the nds. The r4 was easily available for $20, and each game cost $35.

I know the internets favorite argument is "piracy doesn't hurt sales", but imagine a scenario where you go to McDonald's and they give you a choice at the registers, pay, or don't pay. Either way you get your meal. That's essentially how easy it was to pirate for the nds.

Does every download equal a sale? No. Do some people pirate instead of buy if they can? Of course.
I don't really see an issue with adding synchronisation, there's no fundamental reason why having endpoint consumers acknowledge updates before terminating removed pods would be horrifically expensive. Especially with endpoint slices.
It's only vendor lock-in if you see this as 'yet another monitor', which it is not. Yes, it is made of mostly the same technologies, but it's neither marketed as nor specified for PC-use.

The thing is that it's not about what you think the product should be, because the product won't morph itself into your desire. Just because there are 100 variations of the same monitor out there are all behave nearly the same (And might as well be condensed into 1 version with 2 bezel color options) doesn't mean that that is all there is to it.

The ECU in your car uses the same SoC as the ECU in a truck. But that doesn't make your car a truck, or a truck your car. Just because there are technical similarities doesn't mean that therefore the products must be the same. If a manufacturer decides to focus on some form or function and simply not make other forms or other functions, that simply means that what you wanted and what the product is do not match, and therefore you should either not buy the product, or adjust your wishes. Since the latter isn't really required, not buying the product, but buying a different product instead seems to make the most sense to me.
I have 2 or 3 RPi 2 models and an RPi 3. Any thoughts on how I could get it into good hands not looking to scalp them? The local schools don't need them.
I don't think that either Auth0 or WorkOS is open source. I am sure they both have open source example projects. I know that I have seen Auth0 sponsor open source too.

But as far as pure open source authentication solutions, the ones I know of are:

* Keycloak

* Ory

* Identity server (.net)

But Auth0/WorkOS are definitely focused on building a developer first security platforms. Along with a lot of other companies.
During the first few months of the pandemic lockdown, their new album (Ghosts V-VI by Nine Inch Nails) was one of the most powerful musical experiences I’d ever had.
You say this like it's the natural order. There is room for ought.
I love the concept but I can't see myself using this regularly unless they really hammer out a lot more stdlib. This might be a lot less noise than powershell but powershell still has all of .NET accessible to its scripts.
Unique shipping addresses are typically harder to circumvent (but not impossible)
If kitchen nightmares has taught me anything, it's that "Pro" is an incredibly low bar. Pass.
I don't have any primary sources, but in a nutshell, the problem was ROM sites.

You could download every NDS game ever made, in every region, in a few days.

Small indie ROMs might be 2-16MiB, but the big Pokemon/etc games went up to 128MiB. With 8-64GiB microSD cards, you could fit a library of games into one cartridge.

Personally, I think that most of the people who pirated NDS games would never have paid for them, so there may not have been many lost sales. But I also can't deny that the small game developers got royally screwed, and IMO the 3DS may have suffered from a dearth of creative small devs.
"bots" are just strawbuyers. How do you distinguish a strawbuyer and a "bot" (that also buys)?

Don't these "bots" all have unique payment details?
Be prepared to walk away without what you set out to buy. You cannot be in a negotiating position really if you cannot actually take no for an answer, even if they don't know it.

If someone can do it, they will do it, unless you give them a reason to not want to, for example by insulting them in some way. Keep it light, keep it business, always be ready to accept the fact that an agreement can't be made, and try to work out a deal that you're happy with.
Good point. Chip specs don't always represent hard operating limits, they are just the limits to what the manufacturer has tested to. Either the mfg has done some additional testing that the chip can work down to -40C or they've done something like else (like add a heater... not unusual for rugged machines).
I think the plethora of filters and their popularity totally disagrees with this. Also, things like HDR processing to make things look eerily unnatural, desaturation f/x, etc are all ways of taking the reality into a new place.
> Then we set a terminationGracePeriodSeconds of 60 just to make sure it doesn't pop off too fast.

I think the grace period includes the prestop duration doesn't it?
The claims seem to be similar to what we're facing with NIMBYism in San Francisco, which often seems to be based in Xenophobia.

It would be one thing if they were destroying a several hundred year old city but that doesn't seem like its the case.
Sure. But all we're establishing here is that everybody is hostile to ideological pluralism. That shouldn't surprise us. We live in a hyperpolarized society (and that's not the fault of "cancel culture", but rather preceded it by over 50 years, surviving multiple zeitgeist shifts in the interim, from the defeated cynicism of the post-Nixon 70s through the Reagan years and the post-9/11 culture of nationalism that got the Dixie Chicks and Bill Maher cancelled.) In a hyperpolarized society, countervailing ideologies are perceived as threatening. That's just human nature, isn't it?

So where does that leave us? Is your point that it's disappointing to you that the left is now as responsible for ideological hostility as the right? Because the left has always been just as hostile as the right.

(I was frustrated with your previous comment, but am not with this one; I'm just responding to it because you took the time to write it.)
The same model as the ZEDEs, with some of the same people is coming to the UK, branded as "free ports".

https://bakerstreetherald.com/2020/09/case-2-private-governm...

Within the ZEDEs it seems like democracy won't really be a thing - this isn't a model we would want to see anywhere, let alone expanded.
> Probably the most open "console" one could get right now is an x86 PC.

Yes, and it's called the Steam Deck. It will be interesting to see how it affects the console industry over the coming years.
Even though I have never used drugs, psychedelics are the one thing I have wanted to try, particularly LSD. Sadly, it seems that it is not legal anywhere I can find.
Not if your game is themed that way like a Philadelphia Experiment, Fringe, or other scifi where people get cinched between dimensions.
No question Alzheimer's is a tragedy played out much too often. It's also a tremendously complex condition that's been the focus of research for decades.

Inflammation contributes greatly to the disease burden of many conditions. Of course people vary in terms of inflammatory status. A moderate number of studies have shown omega-3 supplementation can reduce onset of some brain conditions, e.g., schizophrenia.

In line with the mouse model it's well-accepted that inflammatory processes are implicated in AD. Microglial response triggers pro-inflammatory factors in turn leading to accumulation of toxic proteins in cortical neurons. Here's a succinct review of the subject: [0].

Anti-inflammatory agents have been associated preventative effects, e.g., NSAIDs though trials of these drugs haven't shown benefit. Omega-3 fatty acids have received a lot of study re: anti-inflammatory effects, particularly in cardiovascular disease. In AD some observational studies have shown reduction in risk of developing AD which is encouraging, however placebo-controlled studies have produced equivocal results, so the question remains open how much benefit omega-3 provides. This articles reviews the omega-3 evidence [1].

OTOH everyone seems to agree omega-3 intake through diet or supplementation will at least do no harm. On the whole diets higher in long-chain omega-3 fatty acids is likely to be most effective. Foods such as fish/seafood and green-leafy vegetables are good sources.

Diaspora Company fair trade turmeric from Andhra Pradesh if you can get it. They have a number of channels that carry it through various spice distributors. Often sold as "single source" turmeric. Amazing quality quite unlike most other readily available turmeric.

Yeah I was very into personal electric last mile transport for a while, but realized you can't beat the city bike rentals for convenience and 80/20 efficiency. If they're not available I just walk.
> The window of what is considered beyond the pale has grown quite a big larger than it was in the past.

I'd say it's worse than that. Our information diets are so heterogeneous, that with respect to certain topics, it's plausible that two people might have non-overlapping windows of what they consider reasonable/plausible, and of what they consider totally bat-shit insane. e.g., your uncle's views on climate change fall into your bat-shit insane window, and your views on climate change fall into your uncle's bat-shit insane window.
Or something to do in the middle of a global pandemic?
Selling above MSRP without legitimate expenses to justify it still means the retailer is willing to sacrifice the RPi mission. Your proposal is not bad as a "price discovery" methodology but it does run counter to the RPi mission if it sells above their desired price.
I personally do not assume that a non-employee is the cause of this behavior, usually those have different patterns, but it's hard to rule out as an outsider of course.
Further down in the thread, crank or not, I found this note on their 'strand' theory very convincing from a FSM perspective:

Is this analogous to the modern concept of martial law, perhaps, in today's democracies? Including the restrictions placed on them legislatively (albeit few)!

a clever but despicable tool.
Having a country/city literally chopped in half between two superpowers with opposing economic systems is quite a bit different. Hong Kong turned out perfectly fine, arguably better on its own apart from mainland China. Singapore is more or less a city-state, and world history has plenty of examples of city-states functioning just fine for centuries, even when belonging to broader federations (such as the Greeks).
>> On economic issues yes, but not on social and cultural issues. France is to the right of America on each of the issues I listed above except public religion. For example, France's abortion law (which generally bars abortions after 14 weeks) would not survive under Roe (which requires abortion to be generally available up to viability, which is 22-24 weeks). On color blindness versus race consciousness, centrist Macron is far to the right of American progressives: https://wset.com/news/nation-world/france-denounces-american.... Macron, in fact, has specifically attacked "woke" progressive ideology.

>> The only exception is religion--France is aggressively secular. But France is the exception on that front. For example, the UK still technically requires all schools to have daily prayers: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/School_prayer#United_Kingdom. That law would be unconstitutional in the U.S. Likewise, public funding for religious schooling, which is common in Germany, the Netherlands, Sweden, etc., would be unconstitutional in the U.S. In another example, in Bavaria it is mandatory to display a cross on public buildings: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kreuzpflicht. By contrast, in the U.S. there was a big kerfuffle recently about whether it was permissible to have a cross sculpture on public property.

THANK YOU. It's so refreshing to actually see someone not treat leftism-rightism as a monolithic thing measured via free healthcare.

As far as I'm concerned, leftism and rightism are best understood as inchoate moral intuitions that are given form in things like culture, philosophy and various creeds, and those creeds frequently contradict each other. The world wished for by a postliberal paleocon and a libertarian transhumanist couldn't be more different, yet both are ostensibly on the right. Woke intersectionalists and TERFs literally run different patches of the same ideology, both solidly on the left, and are for all practical purposes at war, and the list goes on and on.

Treating them as monoliths is not always useful.

> For example, France's abortion law (which generally bars abortions after 14 weeks) would not survive under Roe (which requires abortion to be generally available up to viability, which is 22-24 weeks).

Similar thing in the Nordic country where I live: People are very pro-choice in terms of having abortion be available and an okay choice to make, but understand that abortion is a grave matter and the law reflects it, something that'd likely look really weird to Americans.
That's a negotiating point, not a dealbreaker. The important thing is to offer both options.

What would keep this plan from working is if there were a lot of major holdouts that insist on keeping their own paywalls and subscription model. Can't account for that level of stupidity, but the market will eventually eliminate it.

Apple News in its current state is a step in the right direction, they just need to bring it to its logical conclusion.
You don't think that these chefs and the ones featured on Kitchen Nightmares might be selected differently?
72Hz, 96Hz, 120Hz, 240Hz, all fix pulldown and will all look exactly the same side by side. 72Hz (75Hz is normally what's tested) is noticeably smoother than 60Hz. Most 60Hz monitors support 75Hz, but since we're talking about niche products here chances are they have a different set of hidden features than usual (perhaps higher perhaps lower).
Am I the only one who finds that lipsync is ALWAYS off in every single hyper-realistic game / demo? Is lipsync also subject to uncanny valley or what? Why is it so damn hard to sync audio with lips in these simulations?

You seem to be knowledgeable so I'll ask.

[My journey was basically being kool-aided on various green thread variants and async and whatnot, only to realize that threads are pretty damn excellent for most use cases, and all alternatives come with subtle drawbacks.]

Do you think that io_uring (or similar) has a ubiquitous future (as opposed to niche – which there is clearly a demand for atm)? Or is combining kernel and user space scheduling is a forever-hard-to-tune problem? Also, do you see any potential improvements to traditional threading/scheduling that could be helpful alleviating some of the resource hogging issues (which are real but over-hyped imo)? Thanks.
Hmmm, a 4K camera that can fly around for 30+ minutes with a controller attached to your cell phone (which in and of itself would blow the mind of any person in the 80s) that has the visual clarity of an image shot on 35mm motion picture camera weighing in at 70+lbs that could only be used aerially by renting a professionally piloted plane/helicopter at more $$ per hour rental than the drone you fly on your own costs?

No, I can't imagine any benifits for modern tech from the 80s ;-)
If you have a low-volume, non-performant, non-critical database, k8s is fine. If you need it to perform and/or need built-in ops (managed backups or replication), use a managed service.

k8s _can_ do stateful, but if a managed service exists for this workload, use it. It is not about _can_ I run it on k8s, it is a _should_ question. Is it worth the cumulative effort required to achieve the same degree of quality.

There must be more details to this than what is explained on the page. Why Imageshack? Why old images? Who was behind this? What does it achieve to have old images show the flag? Is there a target audience?
Civil consumer protections should probably be stronger.

But the criminal angle is a big stretch. Nintendo is not breaking into devices to install updates and bricking them. And not liking something is very different, legally, than maliciousness. They're updating them when you click update, after being presented with legalese about it, and adding DRM which serves a function (whether you like the function or not).
Where do you see these are Apple designed CPUs? There doesn't seem to be anything indicating that, and that would be massive news.

Fair point. Perhaps a better way to distribute them then would be to prioritise deliveries to schools/universities.
doesn't matter if they are right or wrong, especially when you are asking for their money. It may be a business, but it's till run by flawed humans whose irrational decisions will affect creators. So this perspective is important for a developer to know before pitching a platform.
And the reform of economics is 50 years too late to save us from the worst of global warming.

I'll give you a pat on the head for trying your best, but your "science" has wrecked the world, and still can't see three months into the future. Externalities can't be accurately quantified by the dismal science. What is the value of a swampland drained? Of an extinction of a species? Please tell me what economics has magically awoken to value these travesties.

The endgame of labor in pure economics is still serfdom at best.

Globalization, championed by armies of economists for decades, has not just been a disaster but doomed the world by arbitraging what little environmental regulation existed into oblivion.

Even the most BASIC externality policy, the carbon tax on gasoline even for just the 20 pounds of CO2 created by currently burning gas, hasn't been instituted in 30 years.

In the 30 years of economics magically modernizing, workers have become, what 10x more productive and saw, at best wage stagnation. The rich have become ultra rich, and the governments of the world nakedly bow to their every whim.

And the "financialization" of the world. Oh please tell me that isn't the fault of economics. It has completely ruined higher education, housing, was responsible for the second-worst recession in American history, has ruined dozens of corporations such as Intel and GE.

Congratulations.
It really is blowing a fuse.

Don't let your kid think they're a genius. I was advanced at a young age and everyone told me I was a genius. By the time I got to college, I was even with my peers but I gained some unhealthy views of the world thinking I was smarter than everyone else. I wish I hadn't been told I was a genius as a kid.
> But I certainly have the right to point out that transgender biological males aren't

I... don't think you do, actually. I would argue that you should be able to start a conversation about the differences between trans women and cis women without that fear, but that's a) rather different than "pointing out" and b) highly dependent on how you go about that (and c), not a right, legally or morally).

It's akin to me going "your comment shows you to be an asshole" and me going "hey I'd like to talk to you about how you said that so you can say it without pissing people off."
A lot of early Blu-ray players had terrible load times. Long enough to be pretty annoying. The PS3 had the CPU horsepower to play discs quickly.
>I think I can point to the cause of the problem in that relationship. And I won't be pointing at the pirates.

Either way, they are the gatekeepers to please, so the sentiment of:

>The widespread availability of those devices dramatically shrank the market for NDS games.

does hold true. I heard reports of this especially affecting the PSP as well.
These ZEDES seem bad. But what do you want hacker news to do? It seems like illegal real estate development and stealing of people's land, but that is different than narco traffickers taking over your government. Can you give more info about what is happening to connect the pieces? In the us we sometimes have politically connected companies trying similar 'steal the land' for some commercial purpose, it's terrible, it's not drug smugglers taking over.
There was a few months back. Now they seem to have more reasonable timetables.

Custom build Mac Studio, on the other hand, takes 10-12 weeks.
> It's been proven that music piracy is _positively_ correlated with sales

Which makes sense, things that sell well also are more likely to be pirated. Has it been shown that piracy causes sales to increase? I've looked around but I haven't found anything reliable.
Why do you downgrade so far?
> why consumers want to downgrade their console(s)? I Googled a bit and it seems people would like to have more vulnerable to hack their devices

Or to get back the features you had originally paid for but got removed, like Linux OS installs on PS3s.
