because tf2 largely isn't centered around the "pro experience" even if the players are at the top of the playerbase. Comp is its own thing with its own rules, and "casual" gameplay is what the game is designed and balanced around. Comp usually bans about half or 2/3rds of the weapons in the game and imposes additional rules (class limits, no weapons pickups, etc). It's a completely different thing that happens to run on the same engine.

Most games you will play with 23 other randoms who you will never see again after a couple hours. And that is actually the problem - on an actual competitive team your entire team would be decent and everyone would be there to play seriously and get stuff done. But in public games you need some kind of fitness signal to figure out which players are going to be a waste of a team's scarcest resource. How do you tell that from a bunch of players jumping around a spawn room like monkeys for a minute during the setup countdown? Cosmetics. Plumage.

(and actually Valve have gone out of their way over the years to remove other potential signals, like sprays and chat...)

Plumage evolved in nature for a reason, it's still functional and important even though it's "cosmetic-only". Games are a social phenomenon and plumage is still important to them too and that still affects your gameplay too.

What is the market for such actions? What is the risk of doing it not-well-enough? Does it matter on the devices that typically consume the shows? Does it require renegotiating with the cast for what is a new product? Is the resolution appreciated by the eyesight of the main audience?

Too bad, I would have loved to see that stuff, it sounds super interesting. Thank you for answering.
The other article on the front page about video games being boring and predictable should try this game. I think that works like these are the real future of gaming. People can vote with their wallets at the end of the day. Eventually, people will wise up and start paying for better games that they actually enjoy and stop gambling. Or they won't, and they continue to hurt themselves financially and mentally. Either way, there will still be people making art-games like this, for people who think differently.

I really like the idea of social culture being "frozen" and injected into game experiences. I'd love to play a game about how the Cuban Missile Crisis felt, about how the Great Depression felt, about how the New Deal felt. Reading just doesn't put the mind in that same mode as trying to make moves that benefit my main character and seeing how the events that unfold bear witness to whether or not my decisions were good.

I'm sure there will be some good games soon about how insane it is that there's anti-vaxxers, or election deniers.
I'm not american. My country has even more restrictive freedom of speech laws than germany and they were inspired by the european ideas you mentioned. When in doubt, judges in my country will literally cite european law to support their decisions.

Dark matter/energy is not fully understood scientifically, but is not "paranormal".

"Paranormal" are generally things that defy already-understood scientific laws. E.g. mind reading, telepathy, or "breatharianism". Often these phenomena fall apart completely once closely examined. A more edge case is/was the "Em Drive" thruster[1]. This seemed to hold up to scrutiny in a few tests, but further investigation showed the results may have been caused by subtle measurement error.

I think it's really uncharitable to claim that James Randi is "not truly curious". Indeed, I find proponents of the paranormal to be the incurious ones as they tend to stick to their beliefs even in the face of overwhelming evidence to the contrary. That's not curiosity, it's stubbornness.

> How is "killing passwords" a prerequisite for this?

It's not; as I said techies have been doing that for decades. It is, however, a prerequisite for making that the "default for everyone, in a way that's difficult to mess up". Password managers are not and cannot be the default for everyone, because it's easier to just reuse use the same weak password everywhere so long as that remains an option. Until that changes, insecure password management practices will be widespread.

> The first step towards that is designing a system that is simple in its architecture.

Simplicity of the architecture is mostly irrelevant, simplicity of usage is what matters. I agree teaching users how to manually manage X.509 certificates would not be viable, but I don't think anyone is arguing for that.
The one who's easy is the youngest. I assure you the first born got a lot more positive 1-on-1 attention.

> The starting suggestion positive discipline might have is to block out some one-on-one time in the week, one parent with one misbehaving kid, even if it's just for an hour each. Then you are fulfilling their need for a connection in a positive way. You may see each other in a different light and even discover new strengths and contributions to the family. The idea is their need to get your attention by misbehaving will decrease over time.

Yes, we've been doing that for years, of course. It is partially effective, at very, very high levels of time committed. Effective enough we can tell when we've not been doing enough. I'd say it closes the gap between the easiest kid and the most difficult by maybe 20% on a perfect week.
Native controls also responded better.

The new web-based pop-ups can take a long while to render if a heavy page is being loaded. So if I try to quit Firefox, the "are you sure you want to quit" popup renders empty until the current page is done.

Nuclear power takes long time to adapt to. Why hurry now? It's not like the public started caring about it now. And not like renewables aren't an option.

Edit: While I think fear of nuclear power is misguided, I am against it if it will be used for more nukes.
If you want to work hard because it’s some kind of virtue, pick up a second job in tech. Juggling two full time remote jobs will give you all the work you need for twice the income.

Two problems.

1. DNA sequencing, now is two part process (I simplify a lot, sure) - at first stage, target DNA divided for small pieces, and those pieces sequenced to digital codes and saved to database.
Than in second part, computer cluster works few months, to connect those pieces to one chain.
And this is very expensive process even considering few gigabytes storage to store all these data for few months.

The problem is that currently used algorithms are very naive, even in some projects used Perl implementation, not C or some other fast language.
So exist opportunity, to create new special algorithm/software, or may be also some hardware support, so this will be at least 5 times faster, and if costs will drop under 100$ for one human DNA, this will lead to very new type of medicine - genetic checks of everything.

2. connected to 1st problem - find protein folding structures from DNA, and how they interact with other proteins, with drugs and with chemical molecules.
As I know, this now solved in similar way as 1st problem, but in partially 3d space - programs try to calculate some positions, in which parts of structures are attracted to each other and calculate power of attraction.
This way for example, calculated probability of drugs, which will attract to spike protein of Covid and neutralize it.
Also this way calculated effects of new drugs, like interaction with proteins in human organism, etc.

In ideal world, possible, that for example for cancer, 1st will create fast DNA of cancer cells of some human, and 2nd will create DNA code of artificial protein, which will be printed on DNA-printer and inhibit cancer, but will not affect normal cells, and all this will be done in just few weeks.
It might be abundant and clean, but it's not renewable, and like every energy source, nuclear has associated capital and operational costs.
>You are the boss of a company of one.

This is a poor analogy and and an analogy that isn't needed (what exactly have you simplified for the reader here -- the concept of self-determination?). Not sure why you think that every person is basically a temporarily embarrassed CEO of a minuscule company and then to grandstand on that as if anyone who doesn't subscribe hasn't hit the same threshold of maturity.

They might 'discuss' it, as does every news channel. They certainly don't endorse it. It's this kind of spin that passes for reporting.

Nuclear power is not bad. Using nuclear power for making weapons of mass destruction is bad.

Stop spreading FUD over it.
First and foremost, congratulations on bringing the project to this stage - I think it's an impressive piece of work.

I am in no way qualified to trample on your parade but two things came to my mind that pinch a personal nerve of mine and I would really like to have alleviated by you or the folks who know that stuff:

- if your Goal was "secure by default", why did you allow passwords in the first place? Following Caddys recipe would be more like SSH-Keys only, wouldn't it? Is there a reason other than compatibility?

- In that same avenue? Why allow such a thing as downloading authorized keys from a third party? Domain takeovers or account compromises on say Github are a thing - so again while it may be a nice usability aspect isn't that contrary to the secure by default pradigm?

Again thank you for your work and congratulations on the project - those above are just honest questions that came to mind which I would really like to be educated on
> This article makes me feel bad because in the authors world, people like me are relegated to worker bee monkies trying to please the bossman due to pathology or some such delusion.

Is this a new kind of brag? Maybe an “offense brag”? This article makes me, a very conscientious and productive person, feel offended because it tells me that I should chill out a little. (Except that’s not what it says; more on that later.)

> Doing my tasks diligently and in a timely manner affords me more time to relax, review what I have created, and enjoy it rather than drag myself to the next task.

From the article:

> If you can meet these expectations in fewer hours than you are supposed to work, then you shouldn't just find more to do. Instead you should do something different.

Completing tasks in a speedy manner makes it so that you don’t have to rush to the next task. Seems in line with the article.

> When did we become so not only complacent but also discouraging of any genuine effort?

From the article:

"""
If you optimally fill your time at work doing 'work' work, then this means that you are likely:

- Not developing other skills

- Not building your network inside the company as well as you could

- Probably working less efficiently than you could

- Unable to respond to new or changing demands without working longer hours or stopping something else that you think you need to do. See the ongoing supply chain crisis for why you should have some slack in your system.
"""

Two of those points are about working on other things than whatever narrow task that you are assigned. So apparently it’s not about being complacent at all.

Don’t fret. This is HN. We are all A-type, elite white collar workers at this place.
Even getting past climate change gloom, present economic situations don’t inspire much confidence. College admissions seem much more stringent than they were a decade or two ago, never mind the rising tuitions, the debt obligations, and so on. Housing prices continue to climb.

Newer reactors (SMRs) will probably take even longer.

> Apple was just good at selecting a potentially well-performing candidate for their streaming service and for winning awards at different competitions.

I mean, there was reportedly a fierce bidding war to acquire the film, between (at least) Amazon and Apple. I don’t even think you can credit Apple for some unique insight into the potential of the film.
This is why I roll my eyes out of their sockets when I hear a recruiter or job description that mentions years of experience as a qualification.
For me, I think it was related to conflating my value as am employee to being able to efficiently and effectively complete tasks to a high standard in a short amount of time. It felt like if I wasn't producing enough tangible results fast enough, I wasn't doing a "good enough job". It didn't really matter if it was a day/week/month where I was absolutely crushing it, or a time period where I was having a hard time focusing; the end goal was the same. The internal satisfaction, if you can call it that, was accomplishing tasks. It wasn't (usually) to the point of overwork or burnout.

But the problem was, I never considered my own growth. It never felt like a good use of time to take on more challenging projects because I wouldn't get the same sense of accomplishment. It would be hard, I wouldn't have much to show for myself for a few weeks, and so on.

Obviously this is all subconscious, you don't realize you're choosing things you're good at, or an expert on. Expertise feels nice! And, to be fair, not everyone's employers give them the freedom to choose/learn/grow that many of us enjoy.
>No, I didn't make a Hitler comparison.

Why did you even bring it up then? Nobody from my comment down was talking about eugenics that I can see, until you introduced it to the discussion. It's like you are arguing against an imaginary person in your head.

This is the comment you replied to with your eugenics/not-Hitler argument:

>I wish this were always the case but statistically this would be a miracle. There is a non zero number of humans born that no matter what we do they will not work with the society that works for the rest of us.

>That’s the root of this issue. How do you help the ones that can be helped, and what do you do with those that can’t be helped. I imagine we’ll need a much more sophisticated understanding of genetics before we can answer that.

What does eugenics have to do with that comment?

>future compatibility with society cannot be judged on genetics

Nobody said this but you.

>Using proven things like cancer to justify BS theories like "eugenics" is, IMHO, unacceptable.

Nobody said this either. Who are you even arguing with?

>Because you don't have to be "troubled" (how I hate that attribute...) to drive drunk and kill a family of 4 (or whatever number you can think of). One bad decision is enough.

No, but I would argue people with "troubled" childhoods have a much higher propensity to cause societal damage like killing a family of 4 in a drunken joyride.

By that definition I don't think there is such a thing as renewable yet considering you need storage/batteries for just about any "renewable" energy source out there. Energy will always cost us something imho.
Most places that measure outputs are not driving business results, they are measuring the wrong things and even promoting the wrong people.

Outputs = Productivity. How much stuff you do.

Outcomes = Efficiency. How much useful stuff you do.

Don't aim to get more stuff done (productivity), rather aim to have less stuff to do (focus / efficiency). Do more with less. Frequent activity & context switching is hardly tied to achievement.
>"whereas BitwiseFool's post seems to be pure speculation from an outsider's perspective."

Yes, that is indeed what it is. I wasn't using weasel words to claim my assertion was based on empirical evidence. I'm just sharing my own perception and I'm a little bothered by the implication that I somehow have to provide citations in order to simply share my perspective.

To me those aren't technicals. Let's assume that by "routing rules" they implicitly mean IP Routing Rules. So what's swapped, the DNS name of the machines, the machine IP's are swapped or an insert into the ARP table? Does this mean that a live web-socket connection will swap to the new machine, or stay attached to the old one until flushed...

This is true, there's an inner kibitzer inside all of us who needs material. This is the real source of entertainment that the article mentions. Every section of the paper caters to this: what would you do about the war, would you have given poor people better benefits, would you have slapped Chris Rock, what would you have worn to the awards, would you go out with that guy, how should your team have set up their defense?

The only actionable section is the weather report, you can decide shorts or umbrella.

The piece is utterly right. News in the constantly-coming format is junk food. Almost no context is given, even thought nothing at all makes sense if you just watched the news. What is NATO, what is a central bank? Why are the same teams at the top of the league? All of these things need some basic explanation that is never in the news, but always in any basic long-form piece.
Today's equivalent might be to wire money back and forth between companies in different jurisdictions.

It's not the most hackable, but there are some dedicated folks hacking at the Amazfit watches. I have the original Bip, which has a ridiculous battery life (30+ days easily) and GPS. The GPS will run your battery down with extensive use, but if I'm running a few times a week it'll still go 2 weeks.

It isn't that powerful, and I wish it had a second physical button. I haven't explored the mods very much because it does what I need it to do, but the scene has the feel of the early Xbox hacking scene, to me at least.

There's this watch which appears to be heavily inspired from the Amazfit Bip: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/gfw/banglejs-2-the-open...
Yes it is. _If_ NATO joins the war, upgrading it from local conflict to worldwide one.
Looks like the author reached a very similar conclusion as Aaron Swartz: http://www.aaronsw.com/weblog/hatethenews
I have been a very strong adherent of this philosophy for over 30 years.

There’s an adage, “there’s nothing as worthless as yesterday’s news”. Which led me to wonder, “was it even worth knowing yesterday?”

I realized the solution was a low pass filter.

I first switched to a seven-page newspaper (CSM) delivered through the mail. I realised the editors had to figure out whether it would still be interesting by the time it arrived and important enough to take up space in the paper.

I soon switched to a weekly newspaper (The Economist) and monthlies. I haven’t looked back. The nice thing about a paper like the economist is remained relatively small (few pages) so had to make the same class of decision as the CSM, rather than expand the paper.

I also have an RSS list of trade journals and such that I skim once a week, reading the odd title that looks interesting. Most of the time it’s only a handful of articles.

As for the high frequency stuff and stuff outside my bubble: I still talk to people and so I hear about stray stories. I do find it interesting that I have yet to have anyone bring up the Ukraine situation. At all.

This is a relatively fair take. That being said, at least it's damaged and dethroned the equally misguided frictionless spheres of homo economicus.
