> the people disagreeing with the mainstream agenda will have no choice but to join existing opposing organizations and adopt some of their views, even if they don't fully agree with them

This confuses me a bit. For convenience, can we refer to the "mainstream" climate-change-as-religion group as M, the dissenters as D, and the opposition as O.

If we're taking the single issue of how climate change is presented, why would D go and side with O despite not fully agreeing with them, instead of M who they don't fully agree with?

Concretely, it seems to me that O are likely to not prioritise climate change in any way. Are D willing to give up climate change action for other principles? Why should D not join M and push for change, or be the faction that is more welcoming of other "heretics"?
I think in many cases, movies and video games piracy is a matter of convenience. If pirated media is more convenient -- not just as in "free", but because it's less encumbered and doesn't pull this crap on you -- then paying for legal media will become less appealing.

There's a baseline of piracy, sure, but there's also making the lives of paying customers more difficult so that piracy becomes the preferred option.
You can't sign up with just an email, you need third party integration like Twitter, and surprise, you need to give TikTok full access to your account.

Still pretty entertaining though.
> For instance, we treat climate change not as an engineering problem worth solving (how many "climate studies" prepare actual engineers for building nuclear power plants?), but as a source of irreparable guilt used to push back on ambition and launch personal attacks on people that do not agree with this viewpoint.

But climate change is largely a social problem at this stage, not a technical problem. We can't even begin to solve the technical issues surrounding it until we get stakeholders on board with the plan to solve it. That isn't possible because people deny that it exists and/or actively fund denial in others.
I've been using a local engine for analysis. Firstly it saves Lichess CPU time, and secondly it's more powerful (running on GPU). I prefer the Lichess interface so do use it occasionally but otherwise the Nibbler front end over lc0 has been handy. You can paste in FEN or PGN format which as others have mentioned should be available from some physical boards.
Explain the math and/or give sources from experts, poindexter.
Next thing you know, every police car is equipped with a short range cellular base station to intercept or block any outgoing streams in the vincinity.
Irish taxis are unusual compared to taxis in other countries. They’re virtually all self-employed owner-operators like Uber drivers. They are individually licensed and usually own their own vehicles. They can take app or radio dispatches or pick up street hails. If taxis in other markets had taken the same regulatory approach, something like Uber may never have had such widespread success.
Laws that enshrine and entrench the taxi monopoly are bad laws.

You’ll still need alignments. You’ll still need the steering adjusted. ABS modules can fail, those need to be replaced.

Just because we’re getting rid of two large issue generators in the engine/transmission system, doesn’t mean the new machines are bulletproof.

People are worried about school shootings, and there are fewer deaths annually by school shooter than there are by police annually. Just because something is statistically on the less common side doesn't mean people aren't worried about it (police killings are only like 5% compared to the number of homicides, and roughly 10% compared to the number of homicides by a stranger).

Of course if people were operating purely on the numbers, the thought of death by cop or school shooter would barely even register compared to the time thinking about by death from poor diet and exercise or from traffic accidents or consumption of tobacco/alcohol/drugs.

Personally I worry about police violence in part because it's one of the things the individual has the least control over. I can fire back at a robber, I can choose a better diet, I can send my kid to a school with better security policies, I can shoot someone trying to set fire to my house, I can choose not to drink/smoke. I can pick family and friends to hold close that I've personally screened before exposing them to my wife and child.

What I can't do is pick what police officer shows up or hassles me, and then If I'm forced to defend myself from a bad officer it's a near certainty I'll be executed or imprisoned assuming I survive the encounter. My only real recourse is to raise societal concerns to reform the police. Because I have very little individualized recourse unlike the much more common dangers (I can choose not to smoke for instance), it becomes a big concern over something that should appear rather little.

If you have any doubts about some of these issues in Arizona, by all means feel free to witness the anecdotal data point of the execution of Daniel Shaver in what can only be described as a psychotic version of Simon Says. The system even saw fit to rehire the officer that killed him just to give him a pension for "PTSD" from shooting an innocent man.
> Even still, for a democracy, the best protection against any potential threat is to prepare its citizens. In this case, the citizenry needs to be prepared cognitively.

There's no way I would trust managers, certainly, their managers to not simply regurgitate the most "CNN-friendly" curriculum imaginable. Maybe pre-2015 I would agree. US education simply isn't a trustworthy system at the moment. The threat has already arrived and the good teachers are leaving in droves.
> It looks like it was designed to target the Google docs crowd of non-technical people.

This doesn't mirror my experience at all. I'm super technical and after evaluating all the options I landed on Notion because it's by far the most "get out of the way and just write."

Notion: Go to documentation, see an area where you have something to add, click, type, done.

"Pages": Go to documentation, see an area where you have something to add, context switch to your terminal, maybe clone it, create a new branch, go to the pages repo, go to the file, add your change, commit, push, open a PR, post a message to slack for someone to click approve, merge.

Game servers require a cost to operate (in money and people) and I don't expect them to stay up forever.

What's the excuse for forcibly shutting down the single player experience though?
Especially since one pair was a nearly unused backup server that had a totally different use profile.
For the record: I personally think that Bitcoin is the only part of crypto which is partially useful. Of course it is mostly used for empty speculation and buying drugs, but there are transfer and legitimate payment sides of it. Too bad its cost for the humanity is disproportional.

Ethereum network is a nice exercise in distributed computing, but its usefulness is questionable, while harm is undeniable.

Everything else crypto are either scam (I estimate this at 90%) or solutions in search of problems.
I actually don't think it's arguing for that typical stance, but rather for conscious experience to always 'be' in some sense regardless of specific physical instantiation. It seems purposefully vague, but it's almost more like Hinduism than the typical atheistic interpretation.

I distinctly recall buying HL2 from a store named "Game" shortly after release, only to find it required some shit called Steam, and the Steam key had already been redeemed.

Eventually got a working key after returning to the store and complaining vigorously, and then had to wait approximately a million hours for the game to update itself over our shit tier dialup connection and eventually become playable.
Great, now it will become overrun by hackers.
Sounds like you're in the clear for this particular bug...

...but always check your backups regularly for data that is dear to you!

Protip of the day: that includes things on someone else's server. I remember when Grooveshark went offline from one day to the next and I lost nearly my whole library because I remembered only some artists and had to go through thousands of songs to find which ones I actually liked from them. My browser's localStorage object had the playlists but I didn't use those much. Or when 000webhost cancelled my account because I was using the 100MB(?) to back up some files that were most important to me, rather than for actual webhosting (in my defense, I was 15 at the time), and so when I returned from a holiday with my parents with an actual crashed hard drive, that turned double sour. Backing up things from what they now call the "cloud" is something I learned early, as I have virtually no code I wrote before that summer, only some of the music, only essays with WordArt if they were printed, etc.

If you use Telegram, Spotify, Netflix, maybe you have videos uploaded to YouTube and not have local copies anymore... my recommendation is to have backups of things that are important to you, onto a medium that you own (it's only a disaster-case copy anyway), and for copyrighted content like Spotify/Netflix it would simply be enough to just have a list of songs/videos. Maybe Netflix doesn't go offline from one day to the next, but your account might be hacked, or that friend you share it with might be hacked, or the right set of hard disks fail at their datacenter, etc. GDPR data exports are your friend, particularly when they're automated and you don't have to bother support. (They might also reveal, as in my case, that Spotify knows how often you shower because I then connect it to a particular waterproof bluetooth speaker at wakeup time. Data exports are also fun to browse!)

The laws being broken were clearly unjust and Uber committed civil disobedience (in the American tradition) by breaking them. That doesn't mean every underhanded thing Uber has ever done has been justified, but in this particular instance it seems like it was. No one wants to be sympathetic to a large corporation of course, but that's a conversation most people aren't willing to have...
I think it's a nice idea, but it just won't happen.

The game companies won't offer managed game servers, because it's a totally new, small-market line of business outside their core competency. They won't open-source the server and let users run it themselves, because myriad licensing/IP/legalese reasons. Even if they did open source it, the stack likely isn't designed to scale down to a few bucks a month on the public cloud -- most users interested in running their own server wouldn't be happy with the actual cost of doing so. The handful of folks willing to pay for it won't move the needle.
I think there's a difference between a private company having my data and an adversarial government. The company has a clear motive, profit. They're lawful neutral. An adversarial government may be chaotic evil. I don't know why this isn't obvious.

Wasn't everyone freaking out just a few years ago when Russian government was manipulating people with political groups on Facebook? And that's even with Facebook's earnest effort to prevent these things. With this company, there's a direct tie in with an adversarial government.

Yes, ideally I don't want anyone to have my data, but lets not pretend Zuck and CCP are the same thing
I do not understand focus on digital delivery platform. Seems a red herring.

If you bought this very same game on DVD, would it not still require same activation servers? It's my understanding this is ubisoft the publisher activation thing, not steam the delivery platform thing.
It is a really interesting question if GitHub is a social network. As the author points out there are many social aspects such as social currency (stars), or is it merely gamification? Colleagues can ask you to review code or ping questions - definitely social, but could you then say Jira is a social network?

Overall I do think GitHub is a social network, but that is because the definition has broadened to include a lot of 2-way group communication tools.
Officially there was only the massive financial incentive. However local officials also had financial incentives to keep birth rates low in their areas, and many of them resorted to more direct coercion, which is widely thought to have been a not entirely unintended consequence.
I will be first in line to suggest to not split repos unless required. It is my experience that deployment, admin and node provisioning (and everything that is generally put under the not always useful IaaC umbrella term) is one of those exceptions. Often documentation is, too.

It all depends on what the release flow looks like. A useful rule of thumb when components can share a repository is when the branch model is identical. If that's the case for codified release and provisioning processes and the code that is shipped, then it is likely that you are not taking full advantage of what that deployment and provisioning code can do. If not anything else, then at least test versions must deploy production code, and test code deploy production versions.

Again, in my experience across multiple organizations, it is a good idea to keep that code both forwards and backwards compatible. It should be natural that is sometimes says things like "if build number greater than x then set parameter y". While it may feel a bit dirty for some, that type of logic is what deployment code does, and it is much more maintainable than keeping branches around for the same result.

If I get to say one thing to new devops/release engineer type people, that's probably it. That, and the value of clear and concise commit messages. Which goes double for this type of code.
My only feedback is that this is amazing. I would gladly pay for a fleshed out version of this. SimAnt was an old favorite of mine.
But we aren't talking about unsolved murders. You already can't release a name for those because they're unsolved. Witnesses and informants already have knowledge that a crime was committed. They can come forward on their own. Otherwise, investigators have to track them down anyways. The fact that we know who has perpetrated the crime makes it much easier to find any links because the investigators have access to the digital trail.
The reminders to be safe are to ensure that people don't grow complacent about things that are dangerous.

Our school has a mandatory safety training before students go on internships, and the reason for that is that interns have died in the past. A lot of things can be dangerous at work (including ladders) and not everybody is familiar with the associated hazards. Ladders, compressed air, electricity, machinery, confined spaces, chemicals, dust, and so on are all things that are dangerous, and the fact that they injure or kill people every year even though they're known hazards is a testament that people are too complacent around them.

Group work has all the bad attributes:

- can't be fired

- reward is low

- members often have the exact skillset.

- nobody has superior authority. How does one even make a decision where people disagree?

Teachers have no experience working in the real world and will often say "you will need to learn to work with bad people".

Meanwhile every successful person will tell you to fire bad people as soon as possible.

If you assign a bunch of low performers to Steve Jobs and tell him he can't fire them and have to give them work, even Steve Jobs would probably fail.
What does the Uber network produce exactly?

The app doesn’t transport people from point A to point B which is the whole point of using it in the first place. They also specifically argue against any claims they are anything more than an intermediary between the producers and consumers.

For sure, charities would be a much better use of the money involved... but on the other hand couldn't you say the same about art in general?

I think what makes it different is the conspicuousness of these watches when they become a way to advertise wealth and status. But I like that artists/engineers can make a living by putting their time into producing such marvellous things. The world is richer for them.

> Many people would like their colleges to at least have some kind of Religious Affiliation though maybe not outright 'Religious School'.

Public universities still have chaplains of various faiths/creeds. There's no problem with that (for now). There is also no issue with student-run clubs affiliated with a given religion, and they're likely still eligible to receive the same type of funding any other club is. The issue is if there is _only_ one faith/creed represented/forced at a public school (and even then, some public university sports teams historically get away with only having a chaplain of one faith [1]).

That’s just your presumptive opinion, right?

Edit: sorry, probably put that offensively. mikiem said about the HN drives: “These were made by SanDisk (SanDisk Optimus Lightning II) and the number of hours is between 39,984 and 40,032...” - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32031428 Without knowing parts of a codebase are shared between SanDisk devices, it is hard to say that enterprise SAS devices have absolutely no code shared with consumer devices. So just the commenter’s opinion unless the commenter has knowledge of writing Sandisk firmware. “HPE and Dell both used the same upstream supplier (believed to be SanDisk) for SSD controllers” https://www.anandtech.com/show/15673/dell-hpe-updates-for-40...

By consent I meant, without duress, which I thought was pretty clear. We can quibble about what represents "true" consent but that's aside the point since it is clear that imprisoning and torturing animals is nonconsensual, not in any grey area. In the theory of socialism, consenting to working is illegitimate since the alternative is homelessness.

Unfortunately, per Steam's TOS, you do not own anything you "purchase" on their platform. Instead you "subscribe" to access of whatever games/other content you've paid for:

...the rights to access and/or use any Content and Services accessible through Steam are referred to in this Agreement as "Subscriptions."

... The Content and Services are licensed, not sold. Your license confers no title or ownership in the Content and Services.

https://store.steampowered.com/subscriber_agreement

To me, that's their business if they want to operate that way and folks can choose to accept that and be a customer if they so desire. I think what's really wrong is that nowhere on their store pages do they use the word "Subscription" and instead they use the word "Purchase". This should not be allowed and is false advertising, plain and simple.
