That really depends on the community that grows around the game. People spend money on all kinds of expensive stuff that they could replace with a cheap replica if they wanted to, but they don't, they want the original thing. If the community sees value in an original WotC NFT, they'll have value.

Furthermore, if said community creates tournaments and online services that require official WotC NFT to participate, that will further cement their value.

That you can create your own NFTs and your own tournaments isn't going to be of much use when the rest of the players only plays with the official NFTs and won't accept yours.
Cloudflare has replaced Nginx with in-house, Rust-written Pingora
Fair enough, I agree.

Given this requirement, free accounts will probably not be possible. If a person uses a free email account for critical transactions, what can one say? There’s a bigger issue here regarding our increasingly digital lives that needs more comprehensive change than regulation of some areas.

Paper mail delivery is guaranteed in most of the industrialized world, more or less. Email is increasingly used as an alternative but is entirely the recipients’ responsibility. Receiving paper mail costs nothing, that’s probably why so many people choose a free provider like Google.

Also, how would you solve the issue of identity verification in case a user loses means of access?
> The difference is that a lot of Republicans have lost total faith in institutions

Oh, they love institutions when they're doing what they want (cracking down on black people/poor people/Hillary Clinton's email servers), but when they're investigating Trump, _now_ the Republicans want to defund law enforcement.

It'd be hilarious if it wasn't so damn sad.
No, you get downvoted when you posit that anxious people are autistic under the guise of curiosity/speculative question. Also, not everyone reacts nicely when someone implies they might be on the spectrum. You live and learn.
Literally what I thought the thread was about, and actually why I avoided clicking into it so long.
Wifey's paying Google, yearly, for her SME's little GSuite / Google Workspace account. She's not paying a lot of money to Google (no adwords or anything: just the GSuite monthly payments for a few people). And yet when she calls, she gets support.

I'm not saying Google is great: what I'm saying is that once you pay even for the smallest business suite, you get to get actual people on the phone who are there to help you.

Unfortunately this was the first thing I thought too and is often the first undoing of open source projects. It might be an impressive technical feat but it _looks_ a mess. Software developers often make the worst UX designers and all that.
Title (and headline of TFA) is misleading, as Facebook didn't ban a film, it rejected a user from using its ads program based on the film's title. Will be interesting to see if the lawsuit goes anywhere.
That appears to be exactly what they were doing.
Be direct and effective in your first message. And if you and an engineer have communication issues (you don't understand their tickets comments, their mails are too abstract and/or not factual enough), do not hesitate to do a bi weekly 1 on 1 until those communication issues are less glaring.

It helped my working conditions tremendously. I'm still really anxious when my manager contact me, but him being direct made me feel way more comfortable than the previous one.

We just recently have upgraded to Figma enterprise (which is an annual contract) in order to get SSO. It is definitely reassuring to hear that our data won’t be trapped forever if Figma goes the way of the Creative Cloud. I hope that either Penpot will close the gap, or that Sketch will improve their in-browser game.
No, this is the result of the laziness of social networks to look for automated solutions to solve at-scale (read: at the lowest cost) problems of their own making.

More generally this is the result of giving free rein on global discourse to unregulated companies, who ultimately took full advantage and profiteed off of it.
Reminds me of when I was in school, and you could access blocked sites by appending a dot. Presumably their firewall had a bunch of domain block rules that didn’t take this into account, and the vendor didn’t think to check for both variations of a domain.

What does it help to build solar power plants only to use up all of that capacity on useless computations?

All else being equal, building solar panels is a negative; producing and transporting solar panels consumes materials and produces CO2. The reason building solar power plants is usually good is that they reduce the need for even worse forms of energy production. If you build a solar farm, just to waste all or most of the energy it generates, what you have done is a net negative for the environment.

This is in addition to the fact that a whole lot of mining uses existing infrastructure, which negates the gains from building out clean energy and keeps demand high enough to require dirty energy, as /u/oofbey covered.
Agree; while they had some very nice ideas (like taking their filesystem capabilities and tracker and make it into basic email), they did some things that would be fatal: like locking their ABI into gcc 2.95 C++ ABI. Which was immediately a problem, when gcc 3.0 came out. Ugh.

No thanks, modern TVs!
the rpi-open-firmware codebase is going the route of doing as little as possible on the VPU, and giving the arm control fairly early

i found that a bit limiting, with the lack of threads/drivers/modularity

thats why i ported little-kernel, to get the same level of features threadx likely offered, and then be able to expand the feature-set far more

with the lk-overlay codebase, you can drive the 2d and 3d cores from the VPU

you can output ntsc or vga video

you can turn on the arm core and boot linux

and you can map /dev/fb0 on the video output

and there are various cpu-independent features in LK like tga image decoding
I don't read it as blame, rather as a report of a thing that happened.
Its cheap if you build it in from the ground up, and a well thought out security program shouldn't impact development velocity at all.

Retrofitting security later tends to be painful, expensive, and cause conflict.

In software companies security teams should enable the developers as opposed to being a hinderance.

Secure code is code that tends to be better written, better documented, more performant, and pass tests. All of which are good things.

I'm always amazed at how many YC/VC backed software startups seem to have no place in their team or board for security, which makes it a massive cost center later on when they try retrofit it.

Colonized? Very weird choice of wording there.
Adding to my own comment: one thing I forgot about is Google Maps, which reached "basic utility" status in some countries. If your address is wrong on Google Maps, you will have problems, because people will be unable to find your place.

Google provides a way to "submit corrections", but there is no accountability, and these corrections might or might not get applied. In my case, they are sometimes applied: some phones will show the right location, and some will show the wrong one. Again, no accountability.
Could have been FUD from manufacturers looking to push thier LCD TV over the competition plasmas.
There's a sector of society that unironically uses phrases such as "anti-White hate-porn".

Very interesting link. Thanks!
There are a couple of problems with that approach. First, the game uses a standard television, so you can't change the number of scanlines. Second, the pixel rate is about 1MHz, so you'd get about one clock cycle per pixel with a processor of that era. Of course, doing everything in software was a long-term solution.
> Why comment with a critique if you didn't even have a cursory look at the paper, or even understand what the dependant variables are?

Because I am commenting on article posted on HN. No such information provided in linked article, nor is the study linked there.

> In this study, 9 of 26 (34.6%) sleeping infants awoke by 20 s after the laydown, while the remaining 17 infants stayed asleep.

Thanks for link to the study and thanks for proving me right with the quote. More than 1/3 of children waking up almost instantly within 20 seconds just confirms this is hardly usable and "best" way to put crying baby to sleep even with such small sample size. And if we had more data I'd expect most of the babies woke up shortly after that 20 seconds limit. I tried to look at the charts but they are difficult to read, since they don't provide normal table with times for all babies.

It's similar nonsense as road casualties, which are not comparable across countries since some countries count causalty as someone dying after car accident within 7 or 30 days and if you crash and lay in coma 31 days you are suddenly not road casualty anymore, same as here amusing 20 seconds threshold for success.
>The city can make no excuses for this.

I agree with this. People are and will be the the way they are, we can't exactly fix that as a whole. What we can make better for sure, is the system. And so, systemic issues should be fixed on the system's level.
Not as long as they make money on it, if they make money off a product they need to provide the basics, and ensuring access to the product is part of that.
Well, I can understand why some actually consider a message "hey, can we talk" more polite than simply calling without asking first, especially for developers. After all, they may currently be in the middle of doing something and would prefer not to be disturbed. OTOH, a message is already a disturbance, and most of the times checking your calendar should already give someone a hint about whether you are busy or not. Either way, providing a hint of what you want to talk about, e.g. "hey, can we talk about that spline reticulation issue?" is of course much better.
There is also PathBuf, which would use a string in most languages. And sometimes one may need to work with Vec<u8> or Vec<Char>. And then slice/view variants of all the above.

Oh, this is such a pain, I know this well. You can't even install some apps, because you are not in the correct "store", which is tied to your credit card billing address. So if you move to the US, you won't be able to use many local store apps. Totally ridiculous.
I bought an LG OLED recently after giving up on my dream of finding a dumb consumer OLED. I assumed I would disconnect it from my network and use my Chromecast for media, but instead I've recently unplugged the Chromecast. The interface is surprisingly good, it has every app that I want and it's fast. I can press the Netflix button when my TV is off and be watching a show within seconds.
Whether or not OP is serious, people holding opinions like this (e.g., it’s possible to be racist against Nazis, who incidentally are not a race but rather a political affiliation) certainly exist. It’s a sad state of affairs.

Isn’t this a symptom rather than a cause. Because game manufacturers can create larger games with scant regards for people’s resources… they do.
I think SMS fallback is the only killer feature missing in Whatsapp. I'd be glad to ditch my dedicated SMS app for something else (I have Whatsapp anyway already). I used Signal for few years as SMS replacement plus IM on top of it (though used IM only with family since nobody use it), but got rid off that horrible app (and same with extended family where I promoted it) and there is nothing else which I could use for SMS and IM at same time. It would be killer feature, since I must have some SMS app in phone anyway, so why not have IM app which can handle also SMS, but Signal won't touch my phone again.
Current incentives are set up to make even the most trivial attempts to run against the mainstream definitions and notations extremely difficult.
Face is a pretty big deal. If you have model looks - many women can overlook other attributes.

But again - should we use something that is innately genetic and unchangeable as a means for “compensating”?

You’re not even ripped. You just say reasonably fit - so I assume something barely above skinny fat. Your face (genetics) are doing you favors here a lot.

It also depends a lot on where you are and where you’re pulling women from. Personally - there’s not a single woman I know who would date a man who is 5’3”. Heck - most don’t even want to date a man under 5’10” and will only do such when someone in person sweeps them off their feet. (Relying on repeated forced interaction - they’ll never go on a date with them from OLD)

This news is so shocking I created an account here after lurking for like a decade. I've yet to read the paper itself but if this is legitimate and not "New battery chemistry is 1000x better!!" type clickbait then holy shit. I'm surprised the article doesn't mention nanotechnology. The potential applications of this are insane and go well beyond medicine.
Well, wait a second, I think you're going too far. Just because maybe you use Google to a very dependent level in your life, doesn't make it a public good that people have an entitlement to and suddenly you place legal obligations on them.

Your email is not your identity, and your particular email address is not a right. If Google has made available options to secure your email address, what exactly are you entitled to compel Google to do that does not conflict with the security decisions they've also made to protect your account from fraud?
I'm talking about the kind of pushback that happens when we get something seriously wrong and a significant subset of the community gets riled up about it. In the links you've listed, the one example that comes close to that is the pushback against how I moderated the QE thread. In that case I realized I'd made a mistake, and made a bunch of changes. Backing down, acknowledging the mistake, and changing direction is the only thing that works in response to a genuine wave of community dissatisfaction.

I'm not talking about resentful responses from individual users—those are inevitable, if only because misunderstandings are inevitable on the internet, and they don't (necessarily) indicate community discontent. On the contrary, by and large the community downvotes and flags those comments. It's the admins who usually come along and unkill them later.

I'm sure it must be very annoying to be around here for 15 years only to see some random asshole get anointed the big boss of the place and start banning people left and right. But I'm a bit more interested in what people (including you) think I'm doing wrong than you seem to assume.
> It isn't even clear that Vizio would be able to comply with GPL enforcement, since they largely just OEM TVs built by AmTran in Taiwan and don't do much more than slap a logo on it.

They should've looked better at their contract, then. It's not the consumer's task to make sure these companies and their suppliers stick to their licenses. If their suppliers ship software that's not compliant (i.e. the vendor doesn't follow GPL's requirements) then Vizio is not allowed to ship them either.

If they can't comply with the license, they shouldn't be allowed to be sold in jurisdictions where the GPL is considered legally binding; after all, they are violating copyright. Any damages from their vendors' malpractices can be resolved in a separate lawsuit if Vizio wants to hold them accountable but you can't hide behind your vendors to sell illegal wares.

As GPLv3 states:

> All rights granted under this License are granted for the term of copyright on the Program, and are irrevocable provided the stated conditions are met.

If they can't or won't release the GPL source code, they can't legally ship the software as they haven't met the requirements for their license and if they do, authors of the GPL'd code could sue them for copyright violations.

In fact, this paragraph could bring them into even hotter water:

> However, if you cease all violation of this License, then your license from a particular copyright holder is reinstated (a) provisionally, unless and until the copyright holder explicitly and finally terminates your license, and (b) permanently, if the copyright holder fails to notify you of the violation by some reasonable means prior to 60 days after the cessation.

> Moreover, your license from a particular copyright holder is reinstated permanently if the copyright holder notifies you of the violation by some reasonable means, this is the first time you have received notice of violation of this License (for any work) from that copyright holder, and you cure the violation prior to 30 days after your receipt of the notice.

In other words, if copyright holders notify them of their violation and Vizio doesn't act in a timely manner, copyright holders could permanently retract their GPL licensed code from Vizio. Should a particularly important Linux developer choose to do so then that could effectively deny Vizio the right to ship Linux on any device it sells (to areas where GPL is upheld, such as the USA or Germany).

So, I interpreted your comment as "No, there's no use cases currently identified that couldn't be done far more effectively without a blockchain, and well, that's a fair point".

Here's the thing - I work with Kafka a lot. It's a complex piece of technology, people using it incur real costs, both financially and in terms of system complexity. But it's great for some use cases. And terrible for others. You could use it to replace RabbitMQ or ActiveMQ etc., but that would generally be a bad idea, a distributed log isn't a message queue.

However, it has use cases where it shines.

If you were to ask me about the use cases where Kafka is genuinely better than other technologies, I can easily provide them.

I wouldn't say "Well, you've really got to dive into the technology itself and the opportunities presented by the platform". I'd just give you actual use cases where a distributed log is superior to other technologies.

So, should be easy to do that for Web3 stuff right?

Reminds me of a joke I once heard. A group of university dons are discussing next year's budget and which subjects can cut down on equipment.

The chemist says "Hah! All we need is some bunsen burners, test tubes and chemicalsto run experiments"

The mathematician says "Pfft! All we need is pen and paper to explore ideas, and a trash can for when the idea turns out to be wrong."

The philosopher says "Well, all we need is a pen and paper".
