This seems like a distinction without a difference. Them preloading game files shouldn't matter, because the actual games still require a DRM license in order to work.

It's broadly legal to run caching proxies, remote-hosted DVRs, and shared/deduplicated cloud storage. There's even specialized cache proxies for Steam. What would be the difference between what Nvidia did and, say, having a shared Steam cache server sitting between all of their streaming instances and Valve's servers?
Another same here. I didn't need to buy a console, a tv or even a controller. It feels like unlimited power to be able to access RDR2 on just another tab - 13 year old me would have gone crazy :)
Be and Morph are worth a look.
Oh don't worry about that. As a Frenchman, I will definitely be delighted if I get my boss to pay for a Cul Magique.

If the product is good, it will not matter.

Better, we will make jokes about it and say stuff in the scrum meeting like: "today I will work on magically fucking myself. Someones has to do it."

Plus you get plausible deniability :)
I know it seems like those battery “breakthroughs” don’t pan out but in fact a lot of them do eventually get incorporated into commercial batteries. It mostly produces incremental improvements but if you look back at batteries you can see the changes.

The math for the expected payout reaching $2 per ticket was only for the jackpot. The lesser prizes and bonus modifiers are the losing propositions that get you into a gambling addiction.
I've already resolved that if this were to ever happen, I would go back to my teenage ways of pirating every video game I want to play.

I already make an effort to buy games on GOG or itch.io before Steam in order to have DRM-Free copies when I can.
I think the term "world class" is unfortunate with connection to freight rail networks.

Freight does not need to travel super fast or super high tech. What it needs is to be able to travel everywhere at high throughput and cheaply. US is doing quite well in that regard.
Prana pants are great. The water resistant coating is the only thing that fades kinda quickly (maybe <1 year).

The XDG specification is more sensible, in my opinion - configurable user-specific directories for things like executables and libraries, with a sane default prefix of "$HOME/.local".

Glad you posted this, it is something for me to think about.

I'm building a wellness mobile app and I make use of mobile notifications for certain reminders.

I am building the app using things that worked for me, and one of those things was notification reminders. I don't think I've ever set up YouTube bell, and I'm usually Do Not Disturb mode. Most of the time, I "miss" my reminders but when I pull down from the top I see what I missed and would act upon them.

One of the challenges for me is that I tend to sometimes get too focused (or completely side-tracked sometimes) and during these times I miss my self-care time.
This is a nice overview of modern front-end development but I'm constantly disappointed with what 'web framework' means in node-land. None of these things are strictly necessary when building a web app but authz/authn, user management, databases, server-side logic vs client-side logic, are pretty much always needed. When I see the phrase 'web framework' these are the things I am interested in seeing and they all seem to be treated as afterthoughts in the node community. Most tutorials either point you to paid/proprietary services or to really bad local solutions like back in the hotscripts days of php. If you google 'node user login' the first tutorial has you storing a password in plain text and checking the password with the equivalent of '=='. The first result when googling the same for php, python, and ruby all returned solutions using a hash.
Doesn't matter it's omly believable because this is Google 101.

Google's own track record has me more likely to believe in a complete shut down rather than an extended life cycle.
Jesus google, is there a service you won’t put down?

Well, I still print photos and I still listen to MP3 files.

The difference is that photos are conveniently took from my phone and that MP3 files are conveniently downloaded from a certain major Video Streaming website by a company with a name that is a reference to math. Every time I listen to those MP3s I make sure to watch some ads somewhere first.

Also, I get DVDs from the public library and use Handbrake to convert them so I can stream them on the living room TV from my NAS. When returning the DVDs, I, of course, I email the video files back to the library.
Haha I appreciate it!

Weird flex indeed. Some (most) people are probably more productive in a clean and thought out workspace vs a laptop on a couch sort of deal. I think the spaces and the people behind them sort of proves that.

Small wars are like marketing campaigns for military-industrial suppliers around the world. They also drive up commodity prices. Since Dec 2021, average share prices for the oil majors and the defense contractors have increased from 25-50% depending on the company in question, as of last month.

EV decreases as sales increase though
The Midwest cluster of cities which include Chicago, Cleveland, Indianapolis, Minneapolis, St Louis, Columbus, and Detroit, have an extremely similar density and distance distribution compared to France, where high speed rail is incredibly successful. We could have successful high speed rail nearly everywhere in the US with a possible exception of the rocky mountain regions. I wish this density trope would die.

The real reason we don't have high speed rail is that right of way acquisition is ridiculously costly unless government is involved, and we don't trust our government to do it right. Probably justified, if urban rail costs are indicative.
I’m not sure how they compare in price but I really enjoyed erector set and k’nex when I was a kid 30 years ago. And now I’m a robotics engineer!

Also, an Ender 3 3D printer provides a lot of similar construction skills and learning (with the printed objects) for the price of one high end Lego set.
We also have a fascinating legal relic called the "Skill Testing Question" which allows for games like Roll Up the Rim or guess-the-jelly-bean-jar to exist without being subject to our otherwise very restrictive gambling laws. I'm not sure how it was decided, but the "skill" being tested is usually order of operations.

What's funny is that the law doesn't say if you're allowed help, or if you need to answer correctly on your first try, simply that they wrote the correct answer on a receipt which the merchant is supposed to keep. When I worked at McDonalds and it was busy, we were encouraged to just tell people the answer so they could redeem their free muffin and keep the line moving.
Games are not content like music and movies, they are products (i.e. like startup products). Only a handfull get the vast majority of playtime. Incidentally, if you are a game developer, think of making a game like if it was the only one you'd be making. Whats so special about it?
> Rich people don't play the lottery.

They do. It's called "incorporating a company" or "investing in the stock market" often with leverage.

I would guess that for a regular non-connected, non-ivy league folk the chance of becoming a billionaire is roughly the same creating a startup vs. the lottery.

At that point it makes sense to play the lottery if you are a "swing for the fences" kind of guy, that's because when odds are kinda the same it makes way more sense to throw 500$ monthly in lottery tickets than throwing 14h/6d/52w yearly in precious time to build a company or reading balance sheets of publicly traded companies

Hahahahaha you called it
FYI, if you make a realistic calculation (including tax and multiple winners), the EV of a lottery ticket is still negative.

Depending on your tax bracket, the non-jackpot prizes have about $0.19 of EV.

In a state where you don't pay tax on lottery winnings, like CA, you cash option post-tax is currently estimated at $408,403,045.

My estimate of the multiple winner correction to the EV is 0.8, based on numbers of winners for prizes >$500M.

Your jackpot EV is therefore $1.08 and the total winnings EV is therefore $1.27, meaning the overall EV is -$0.73.

For there to be positive EV, that delta needs to all come from the jackpot, so the headline jackpot number would need to go from $1.1B to $1.8B to get it there.

HKCR has a lot of entries, but the data underneath those entries isn't particularly complex.

Its only really big misstep (apart from the fundamental issues with the registry in general) is that file associations and COM registrations are all intermingled in the same namespace. But those can be and are interconnected (see how the Office file types handle their registrations, for example), so it's kind of understandable how they ended up where they did.
I say this without anger but it makes me feel as uncomfortable and sad as if I'd read "if my wife doesn't get breast implants our marriage will suffer." I can't imagine saying that to someone I'm in a relationship with or how gutted I'd feel if someone asked that of me. Maybe it's the kind of honesty and pragmatism you reach after decades of marriage, but it's horrible to read from the outside.
Redefining terms has always been a popular thing to do in politics. Because it allows them to sow division among the people and create strife as a distraction.

Posting about it furthers their agenda because you're arguing over the meaning of a word instead of the actual economic problems. Regardless of what word is used the economic problems still exist. So instead of playing their game of division and distraction, perhaps it would be better to educate so better representatives are elected.
It depends on the contract between the parties involved.

That said, there is a concept of friction for signups, and that's something TikTok does well with their UX. You open the app and are immediately in the app, no sign up. After using the app for a bit you can go and customize your username and such so that you're not a generic username, and you're able to find and be found by friends on the app, but that's optional.
Thats typically how they get approved.

State argues they'll use it to fund education, people thinks thats a great idea so it has widespread approval. Later the state decides they'll change the rules to allocate the funds in more ways.
Asus should be praised for their Eee PCs, don't underestimate how many people were introduced to Linux thanks to the low end specs that were almost unusable with Windows
I used to think the same thing but I've come full circle to believe that any behavior humans take place in, regardless of the consequences, should be legal and regulated opposed to banned/illegal. Money just ends up flowing to cartels and much more unsavory/unethical organizations.

Drugs, prostitution and even gambling fall into this category. It's certainly the lesser of two evils and not perfect. As others have pointed out I'd much rather live in a world that treats prostitution like Amsterdam or drugs like Portugal than the current war on drugs, police militarization, security theater surveillance state we are in right now.
The ethical optimum seems to be:

1) Government run lotteries. Otherwise there will be shady illegal lotteries instead.

2) No skimming funds. 99.8% of what goes into the lottery tickets gets paid out to winners, taking only enough to fund the lottery itself. Otherwise you're taxing the poor, and their lives are hard enough.

3) No advertising. To prevent big stories about the "mega-billions" jackpot, cap and split jackpots. So if you have enough to do a 10 billion jackpot, instead offer 100 million jackpots for a while, until the funds are used up.
This is actually being fixed. Someone put huge telescopes on part of the old line, but they are building a new one.

Why not? The great advantage of high speed rail is that with intermediate stops along the route you can service smaller cities which previously, or as you just did, would be considered flyover country. Thus making the value of the system greater than just the end terminuses.

Just looking at the towns between Portland and Sacramento Salem, Eugene and Medford exist. Neither would themselves ever be valuable enough for HSR, but as part of a larger system they definitely would bring value.

Especially since you would get 3.5 hour trains Bay Area <-> Seattle and 4.5 hour trains to Vancouver.

That is right at the limit of when flying starts to make more sense from a time perspective.

Edit: Here's a good video on the concept. From a comment (by the author) he says that France and Spain has many lines in the range of 4 given his scoring. It just seems miniscule compared to the enormous potential of DC <-> Boston corridor.

> Though the two are unrelated in origin, the concept of impossible piano existed long before black MIDI, manifesting itself within Conlon Nancarrow's work involving player pianos where he punched holes in piano cards, creating extremely complex musical compositions in the same impossible, unplayable spirit of black MIDI

Facebook was just a way to talk to your friends and replaced Yahoo! Messenger, except that you could find new friends your age in your area as well. This worked because the rest of society wasn't aware of Facebook. LinkedIn might be a better candidate for a personal directory.

Twitter and Instagram are both ways to connect to people you do not know, but the former is genuinely about finding people to which you share some interest, whereas the former is still mostly about adding friends that you already know. Instagram replaced most of the functions of Facebook that I described in the first paragraph.

TikTok is basically the video version of Twitter with a good algorithm that finds new content you might like.

I don't believe SSD loses data over arbitrarily short periods of time such as days/weeks.

On the other hand, I would not trust either medium over extended period of time (years) personally - either dump to tape/optical, or keep making copies :).

Either way, I currently do not have a use case where either my SSDs or HDDs would be off for year or more.

(I do have a set of "off site" HDDs with my family which do stay unpowered for months before being exchanged)

With the decline of Instagram, and Facebook's like of vision and product, I wonder if it's time for a new site to share pictures (and specifically not video since it seems to be cursed) with friends.

I see people uploading pictures to Instagram less and less each day, where they'd have over a hundred at once before, but it's not that they don't want to, it's just that the app feels too complex and repelling.

Hi, I hope the way I expressed my views didn't cause any personal resentments.

To be clear, I'm not enforcing anything. Just expressing, which is quite different.

I think both of us can agree that expressing points of view through words is a human thing. It's also a human thing to do that even with strangers.

That being said, I will certainly review my views in the future and hope to improve them. I expressed what is my current view on those topics.

You can obviously disagree, discard them, or anything else your judgement indicates.

Toledo directly to Chicago doesn't make a lot of sense. Most of the track would go through Indiana, which is at best indifferent to Amtrak.

Consider instead putting Detroit in between the two. The Chicago-Detroit route already operates at 110 mph, Amtrak and the Michigan Dept of Transportation already own the majority of the track and give routing priority to passenger trains. Amtrak and VIA are already talking about a Chicago-Toronto train that doesn't require passengers to disembark for immigration/customs, and their systems are already connected via a rail tunnel under the Detroit River.

I loved my Eee PC from Asus and had a dark blue one (which was the better model). It was back in 2008/09 when I was bagpacking in central and southamerica. It was great to use it at the hostels instead of waiting for getting a free spot on these public PC. People back then either went to cybercaffe/internet caffee or waiting to use the few slow PC at the hostel and had to pay for it.

Silly question - what makes you dislike buying four 4tb SSDs compared to buying one 16tb SSD? I could see it being less portable to have multiple drives, but I would presume that 16 TB isn’t really something that needs to be brought around portably unless you’re going somewhere for extended period of time without internet (preventing the use of a NAS/cloud storage). Multiple SSDs also allows the use of RAID for increasing speed and/or susceptibility of failure.
