That was my initial idea (if you peek at the code, you’ll see it’s simple to create a 2-color + hard-mode). But it turns out that hard is quite hard, even with just 2-colors. So I picked 3 instead of 4 levels.
I feel that the main appeal of a cruise liner is that the trip is also part of the vacation. You can enjoy comedy shows, play in the pool, relax in the sun, drink, gamble, etc. It's like a mini Las Vegas that moves. Where as I feel this would be more like waiting for the ferry to get from point A to point B while there's also a bridge that's much faster.

With all that said, travel is not the purpose of the airship. It's to help humanitarian aid response and relief for areas that are difficult for planes and boats to access due to destroyed infrastructure.
The problem is that content-creation has become prohibitively laborious and expensive. Don't even think about creating a Battlefield level (or similar levels) without having a team of people working on it.

3D models aren't much better. You can easily re-texturing and create new content this way, but adding new models, animations and AI requires huge amount of polish to be somewhere near AAA quality.

Of course I completely agree on the community aspect. Forums have been dying for a long time and left a vast graveyard of former communities. But this is mostly due to social media and how newer generations are using the internet. We have a continuing trend of centralization which has affected the gaming sector big time.
Are we going to lightly dismiss the prosecution of polytheists in many Islamic countries?

>Of course, it goes without saying, perceiving you belong to the true faith does not justify violence or discrimination. But faith-based identification is not analogous to a caste system.

They were clearly talking about faith-based discrimination. Why would you assume that they were talking about faith-based identification, especially given the context?
Even beyond that, this also has the same flaw that using CC-BY-SA for software does, namely that people can prevent others from modifying it in practice by only distributing compiled/obfuscated versions.

I know they don't. That's was my point - the business can handle someone taking a few months off, they already do. As for the others working their backs off, what's your view on vacations? Am I allowed to go to Fiji using my PTO?
I have the version of this book in Spanish (Editorial MIR), the translated title is 2000 Problems in Linear Algebra. This publishing house (MIR) doesn't exist anymore but now goes under the name of URSS [0] and publishes modern versions of these same books, at least in Spanish and Russian. It has several books on problem solving, which was probably a pathway to demonstrating true "elite" status in eastern europe at the time (hence the known romanian, hungarian and russian way of teaching). It also contains several books on theory too, be it mathematics, physics or engineering. The important thing with textbooks on theory is, unlike the custom of modern textbooks to have few problems and often disconnected or that require to make a few "leaps" in the sense that the exposition does not clearly pave a way to solve harder problems, the amount of exercises is large and they frequently build on top of one another, thus making learning much more enjoyable in my opinion.

Some books also worth looking at in mathematics:

(1) Anti-Demidovich series

(2) Combinatorial Analysis, Ribnikov

(3) Problem series by Suprun

(4) Probability Theory, Zolotarievskaya

(5) Discrete Mathematics Problems, Evnin

(6) Theory of Surfaces, Finikov

... and several other problem book series for university mathematics.

Engineering (mechanics):

(1) Anti-Mescherski series

(2) Theoretical Mechanics, V. M. Starzhinski

(3) Strength of Materials, Stiopin

(4) Problems in Strength of Materials, Volmir

The point of investing in an ETF is not exactly to bet that the economy will grow no matter what, but to minimize variance and regret with the money you had at the beginning (i.e. you may end up in the red, but in terms of expectations, your likelihood of being in the red was no worse than the average).

I'm the poster who you originally posed this question to, and I think it's a valid question without an easy answer. In large part, it depends on the culture of the country.

On one hand, government healthcare could easily be cheaper an provide better outcomes by eliminating the middleman of insurance- having things centralized into one entity can be more efficient through many mechanisms (reduction of duplicated effort, elimination of requirement for profitability, etc)

On the other hand, government healthcare could easily be more expensive and provide worse outcomes if it was corrupt or poorly administered, or if it became a target for corrupt providers.

I think in America we have a culture of ripping off and destroying any government provided social benefit. Just look at medicare fraud and social security fraud.

Other countries may not face those issues- for example the nordics seem to be doing well.
The entire web is just an inner platform attempting to recapitulate the general purpose computing available to desktop computers for decades, without much supporting the justifcation for replacement.
Historically, you could have dirty filesystems after a reboot that "fsck" would ask an absurd number of questions about ("blah blah blah inode 1234567890 fix? (y/n)"). Unless you were in a very specific circumstance, you'd probably just answer "y" to them. It could easily ask thousands of questions though. So: "yes | fsck" was not uncommon.

That problem and increasing intercaste marriages is why casteism is dying in many parts of India. The new generation doesn't know how to determine the caste and are generally not interested. Most of the system in large parts of the country will die out with the previous generation.
Mods - Why do my comments keep getting removed? All I said was I work remotely but I can understand why Tesla might not want that.
It's the oldest trick in the book.

As much as "fake it till you make it" is a much hated approach, there's a grain of truth to it. Many people only got the chance to prove their merit by bluffing (faking?) it first. Sure, they had to ultimately deliver on the expectations, and perhaps there are more of those who faked it and then failed to deliver. It doesn't change the fact that often you don't even get the chance if you don't project an aura of confidence.

Generally speaking, being confident gets you to places. This really applies to every aspect of life.

If you act like you belong somewhere and that there can be no questions about you belonging there, people in general will not question your presence. If you seem lost, or confused people will be curious why.

Walk into a private event acting like you belong, and there are good chances nobody will realize you shouldn't be there. Walk around looking all confused and you are likely to be asked to validate your presence.

Naturally, this doesn't apply only to places, but also groups, communities, companies...
> To work out how many people died because of the pandemic, researchers model all deaths over the period and subtract a baseline of expected deaths (those that would have occurred in the absence of a pandemic). What remains is deaths above the norm: a more reliable measure of pandemic-related mortality

"deaths above the norm" is proxy for COVID deaths, because COVID is the only thing not normal about this time? /s
Honestly I posted that as a joke. But I am intrigued if it actually can be done. Take the easy jobs, apply a 10x/4 for a two x effort at all your jobs. Be careful to only accept jobs that are low on meeting expectations.

idk woke people are obsessed with protecting very small minority groups. in fact often the smaller the better in terms of virtue signaling points.

so it just goes to show how hypocritical Google is being when they are mega woke on every other facet. probably because their ceo harbors a like for the caste system
I would postulate US universities ranking among the top and producing groundbreaking innovation and technology is more a function of US being a cultural, economic hegemony for the past 80 years than it having some magical "system" that works. Before WW2, when you think of groundbreaking research you think of USA as a backwater compared to Europe. It is also my feeling that this American system is going to unravel in tandem with its economic/cultural collapse if nothing is done to heavily modify the rigged system.
1. Place a moratorium on any new water rights. (So no starting new farms with new claims, etc)

2. Identify all existing water rights holders. Every single farm/lot with some kind of water privileges. I'm sure there are thousands.

3. Determine how much water they used over, say, the last 5 years. This is obviously the hardest part, but it's no harder than many other large government projects. You'd probably have to use some estimation, formulas, etc - and it won't be perfect. It would take a couple of years and there would be a lot of wrangling. Similar maybe to housing assessment values. Probably include an appeal process as well, just like you can appeal a house assessment.

4. Give each user a new numerical water cap (say, 500k acre-feet), that is 125% or so of above usage. This will avoid hurting existing farms by allowing them to continue using water as they have been, with even some room for growth - but still puts a fence around the problem.

5. Require metering of all ag water, with random audits for enforcement and stiff penalties for violations.

6. Use the state's very large budget surplus to buy up those numerical water rights from the lowest bidders until the water crisis goes away.

> Annie Duke has cashed 39 times at the WSOP and has won at least four million dollars at tournaments alone.

This statistic is almost certainly not counting tournament buy-ins. It doesn't represent net profit. If you want to evaluate somebody's performance as a poker player, you want to look at net profit (among other things). Literally every poker player will have some wins, so if you only count the wins without counting losses, it will sound impressive but not actually mean anything.
I don't appreciate the snarky tone, but I guess my somewhat glib original post might have warranted it.

At any rate, I do of course agree that the oversight we had with 3rd party construction workers clearly was not good enough. I think unfortunately those types of violations are fairly endemic in construction in general in Sweden, but that's not really an excuse for a company that bills itself as trying to make a positive change in the world. Gotta walk the talk etc.

I'm not so close to the construction team myself, but from what I know we have been making serious efforts lately to combat this problem by cutting down on subcontractors and working with the Byggnads union:

There is no pure financial alternative. But a reasonable alternative (or complement) is to invest some money in projects/investments that will for sure have a worse expectation than ETFs, but simply bring you joy in life or new learnings.
Name what? My point was made in allegory.

I would argue that obsession with accumulating capital has caused several orders of magnitude more situations like the ones you've named.

So we probably agree that while we're at banning drugs all over again, we should probably do something about mindless capital accumulation as its as harmful an addiction as any other—or more! It has led to the ruin and sublimation of entire nations of people—a far sight worse than a stolen car stereo.

Or if we don't want to get so dramatic, maybe just let the people eat their damned mushrooms in tranquility and stop using such broad strokes to paint over situations.
Yes, actually

You don't need a `HTTP POST` to update server state this can be done with cookies/headers or the uri (granted doing so in the URI is a CSRF risk). Point being, client originated updates are an inevitability as long as we allow variable data to be passed from the client to the server.

You're just one person. It's obvious that you don't personally know about caste discrimination in all of the United States. If you had data it would be another matter, but you presented none and I'm pretty sure it's because you have none.

It's not a subjective matter, it's just transparently absurd.

The right solution to that problem is to avoid open core. Instead, use products that are fully open source, so that even the "commercial" features are free.
Just let it die already! IPv6 isn't perfect, but it's a hell of a lot better than v4. The scarcity of addresses is a problem that serves no purpose but enabling middle-men. At this rate, they'll probably have to be replaced together, once wireless technologies improve to the point that demand for mesh networking and multipath is great enough to demand new layer 3 protocols.
And at the same time we are being prohibited from paying for more water production (desalination) by the coastal commission and various activists: https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2022-05-12/resident...

Paying for desalinated water should absolutely be an option. If a household can’t afford it, then a necessary normal amount should be provided, but let others fund the infrastructure we need.

Politicians and activists keep saying there are other solutions, but all seem to target the most efficient users and not the 80% (agriculture) that actually can make the difference. Even our own water officials admit that there is not much to be gained by being even more efficient with toilets and such.

Another crazy point - apparently for liability reasons, recycled water that’s not potable quality (meaning just fine for watering, but you shouldn’t drink it or use in a pool) cannot be delivered to consumers. They fear consumers will screw up and connect it to potable pipes. There is a pretty simple solutions there too - they are called back flow prevention devices.
I'm a tech expert that wants to urge Washington to embrace crypto. Who wants to write a letter with me?
Whenever differences - actual or imagined - between different groups are discussed, two major things happen.

First, some members of group found at a disadvantage are upset. This is regardless of how many other members of that group express that they themselves are not. You can dispute facts, but you can't deny people's feelings.

Second, the disadvantage is then used by some people to justify something that fits their agenda, prejudices of beliefs, whether it makes sense or not.

So I can hardly blame anyone responsible for managing a huge number of people of avoiding sensitive topics. Besides, a corporation is not exactly the place to discuss these things: they need to be dealt with as a society in general. If you try to introduce these topics into your workplace, you might even achieve the opposite of what you want, because people will do whatever you expect them just to keep their jobs, but won't change their opinion because their manager told them to, or because they attended a workshop where it was explained to them that their culture is inferior, for example.

What would you want to get out of the recurse center? It's an okay place if you want to develop your coding skills (I say okay because it all depends on who you meet and who's in your batch. If you want to get really good at database development but your batch is full of front end dev's, you might have a bad time). However they're not the best at placing people into jobs. IMO you either have to be somebody with 10+ years of experience prior to attending, or already know somebody at the company they place you at.

I just went through some tutorials a couple of months ago and had some good luck with this series by Valem on Youtube[1]. It's from 2020 and a bit outdated in a couple parts (like I think the input system changed in more recent Unity versions, but you can select the old version, it just has different names, and also I think some of the links for the controller assets were broken somehow, but I was able to download a package that had them I think), so read the comments near the top, which show timestamps and where things might be different now, but overall I was able to get things working fine in my Quest 2 device.

I was also looking for books, and the Unity 2020 Virtual Reality Projects Book[2] looks promising, and I just got a used copy (still being sent to me). Again since it's from 2020 there might be a couple things out of date, but it looks like it could be worth it.

I use Unity in Windows so I can't help on the Linux front.

Good luck! You can ping me if you get stuck somewhere, I might have had the same issue and might be able to help you get unstuck.

These aren't educational courses, they're self-help/improvement courses.

"Starts with the user's needs and pain points - motivated by self-interest - desire for improvement, transformation and/or exclusive access"

So, you need to get fit/get in shape! $40/month for my nutrition and exercise coaching! Go green and zero-waste with my advice! How to teach your kids! Yoga and meditation to improve your health! How to pick up women! Break into your dream career/TV writing/comedy! Be your own boss! Etc, etc. Some needs are never satiated.
People see that "men and women are different" is used as justification for prejudice (like a person not getting a chance because people of the same sex did rarely have success previously). Which sucks and people feel its unfair. And when trying to conceptualize that unfairness into words, their contra opinion sometimes ends up being "so man and women must be equal" instead of "a persons sex does not justify prejudice".

Peoples feelings about fairness and justice are always valid, but hell, many people suck so hard at putting it into words.
Paul Halmos wrote a book I like a lot titled "Linear Algebra Problem Book" that teaches you linear algebra through a sequence of problems - its different from the one posted here in that the problems are often preceded by 2-3 pages of discussion/motivation and almost all of them are conceptual and interesting.

Going diskless is not a complete defense (nothing is), but it still helps against certain attack vectors. Borrowing from Mullvad's blog post on the topic[1]:

- If the computer is powered off, moved or confiscated, there is no data to retrieve.

- Running the system in RAM does not prevent the possibility of logging. It does however minimise the risk of accidentally storing something that can later be retrieved.

fair skin thing is nonsense. I'm a Tamil Brahmin (Brahmin being the highest caste) and I'm one of the darkest skinned people in India. Most of my friends are far darker than most Indians from North India. It's much easier to identify through surname (Pichai I'm pretty sure is a brahmin surname), but certain states like Tamil Nadu banned surnames for this reason. If people ask me my surname, it is T. Every government document has T as my surname, I just go with that

The tourism angle that people use to justify their expenses doesn't really hold up either. Paris alone has just as many if not more tourists per year and they got rid of their royals a long time ago.

Google’s culture is dominated by arrogance. Management repeatedly tells employees they work on the world’s hardest problems using the world’s biggest computers and the world’s smartest people. Doing anything less is “ungoogley”.

That is what I find infuriating about the game. They are constantly messing with the skills tree and even if it doesn't destroy my characters I don't want to go back and rebuild them everytime I log in. So, when I initially played it, I gave them money and logged in pretty regularly for 6 months or so, then I didn't log in for a couple months and they literally destroyed my character by removing the linkage to opposite sides of the skills tree I was using (yah granted that character felt way overpowered).

If they were smart, they would version the skills tree at the point of character creation, so people in the general global world don't get messed up every time they want to change the league play strategy.
