I can confirm I get the same results. Testing for other leaders, I get plenty of results for e.g. Emanuel Macron. Ironically, the first result is a speech of Meloni addressing Macron.

By the time they fix the "accidental bug triggered by anomalously high search volume" (or some similar excuse), the interest spike in Meloni will have passed, and her videos' reach will have been successfully stifled.

And they'll learn their lesson, and next time will just reduce the visibility of her and her associates' posts. Assuming they haven't already also done that.

And if you're a console player you also get to pay monthly for the privilege of playing online.

I also miss the days when there was no communication provided in-game. It's unnecessary for the vast majority of games. And if we wanted that, we used xfire or something external to collaborate, outside of what has now become yet another walled garden.
This is fascinating and does, in fact, seem to be the same kind of social prediction rather than tech.

Sometimes you just want to store data and worry about validation later. I'm in that situation now, with different tasks requiring different kinds of validation for the same data. Sometimes I want all the postal codes that users have entered, sometimes I want only the valid postal codes.
But it takes less than a minute to get a new phone number is that really enough of a barrier?
Because they want to be the winner, gain the monopoly, and eat the big pie all by themselves.
You're confusing "I" should have access to all the data on my machine, with "anything running on my machine" should have access to all the data on my machine.
I agree with the other reply here. I think you are directly comparing 5+ months with the value of this exposure. In reality you should contrast what they would have got from 5+ months of work and launching onto Stadia. They were already doomed when they put 5+ months into a doomed platform.
From a legal standpoint that is irrelevant. Until their asylum case is adjudicated, they are here legally.
That sounds affordable as long as you have a decent job.

As a point of comparison, however, up here in northern Illinois, you can get 2-3x the replacement coverage from a name-brand national insurance company for that price. And we do have tornado risk.

Which is to say that your insurance is expensive, but I wouldn't call it a barrier to living there. Much like property taxes - if you saw my bill, you'd probably fall out of your chair. Turns out the total cost is high everywhere. ;)

If you follow Gabor Mate and his understanding, you aren't prone to addiction if there isn't underlying trauma or suffering, possibly that you're unaware of and haven't processed yet.

I've had many dozens of procedures where afterward I need an opiate prescription. I try to only take them for as long as necessary, usually no more than 2 days, because I know an extra 12-24 hours does start to get into mild withdrawal for me. The fearful scenario you're painting more sounds like when someone shoots up an opiate directly into their veins.

More recently however I've had different procedures, surgeries, the prior being stem cell treatments - and I've needed to take opiates up to 4-5 days due to post surgery pain. But these surgeries reduced my pain so much that the mild withdrawal was the same or less than when I was used to just taking them for 2 days.

What I actually wanted to is that as the pain in my body reduced (from whatever procedure I was getting done), then the withdrawal was easier, less present - arguably as there was returning into less pain in my body as the opiates wore off.

I'm talking about physical pain above, but physical and emotional pain share the same pathways - and if someone isn't actually properly grounded, connected, to their body, and its sensory, they may not realize how much pain their body is actually signalling, and then I imagine opiates could quickly become a problem for someone.

TL;DR: Opiates aren't actually that great unless you're in pain - though that's supposing you're taking the actual medicinal use level dose - and not taking 4-10x+ recommended; I can't speak to that.

I highly highly recommend listening to the track called "Test_energylevel", it is absolutely bonkers, and more interesting than any of the other tracks I clicked on here. (You have to click on "Explore" and then scroll down a bit to find it)

It starts with a choir of ambient vocals singing "it's a sunshine", there's some bird noises and traffic sounds, a snippet of organ synth flourishes.

Then it all gets started - guitar, sitar, horns, strings a vocal duet singing "Shine your sweet loving down on me"

There's actually a ton going on, every few bars it changes things up, there's clever little harpsichord.

Then a male singer starts proclaiming "It's a sunshine daaaayyy", backed up by a chorus of "yeah, yeah, yeah"s. Honestly it's kind of catchy

The last 30 seconds or so are truly cursed, there's a voice in the right speaker moaning "wide eyed retina. mostly logical", which gets delayed, bitcrushed, and pingponged between the speakers.

Wow! I wonder why this specific track has so much going on compared to the others.

I wonder how much public benefits has to do with strict immigration control. Before 1914 public benefits were practically nil, so it's not like you were likely to become a public charge as an immigrant. US seems to have 'solved' this by tolerating illegal immigration but then giving them the boot if the wheel ever squeaks.
It's not logging into a server (MMORPG-like) that kills it for me, it's the push to link the in-game identity with a real-life identifier. It's not (in an almost literal sense!) a game anymore at that point.

For the broad appeal bit, I was thinking tragedy of the commons. A critical mass of actors (good and bad alike) has got to be one of the main drivers behind such a decision. So I'm thinking the more popular a game gets, the higher the likelihood that drastic actions like this are taken, ostensibly to defend against some boogeyman or other.
Because it's vim but better. I don't want an editor that uses, maybe, eighty megs and is constantly swapping!
Sorry if I was ambiguous before. When I said "log format", I was referring to the message part of the log line. Standardized timestamp, line in the source code that emitted the log line, and level are the bare minimum for all logging.

Keeping the message part of the log line's format in sync with some external store is deviously difficult particularly when the interesting parts of the log are the dynamic portions that can take on multiple shapes.
Will do so going forward, but I can't edit it. If this can be edited and merged with the other submission, that probably makes the most sense.

The value added from 6k hours of investment in RDR2 is at best cosmetic and trivial. The real pain here is buying the game on another platform, if that hasn't been done already. At any rate this was a cloud service. Can't trust any of them to maintain the product you want indefinitely.
I consider SQL imperative. You say exactly how to do what you want, not what do you want.

If we take as example a table with a single row:

In imperative (SQL):

INSERT INTO TABLE1 (name, wage) VALUES ('John','50k');

Then one day John gets a raise:

UPDATE TABLE TABLE1 SET wage = '60k' where name = 'John'

In declarative (pseudo code in yaml):

- table: TABLE1
- name: John
wage: 50k

Then one day John gets a raise:

- table: TABLE1

- name: John

wage: 60k

They’re also much more expensive in memory, because you have to separately allocate anything you don’t know the size of.

Something being O(N) can also be a security issue since it introduces a timing side channel.

I don’t think I’ve ever needed a bignum in my life or even a 64-bit integer (excluding pointers and file sizes). Of course I’ve used them inside black box crypto libraries but they have to be careful with them because of said security issues.

Decoupling the physical media from the license to access that media would be a huge boon for consumers and creators but publishers will need to be forced into it.

The ideal would be an open system where you can buy a license directly from the creator (or from a publisher on the creators behalf) then retrieve that content from any publisher by presenting your proof-of-purchase.

I wonder if anyone has input on the methodology / presentation of data here. What actually happened is a number of states passed the "35%" threshold they chose. The timeframe is surprisingly short (2018-now), but the actual increase in obesity could be relatively low, and it just so happens that a significant number of states passed that threshold.

To be sure, it's not trending in the right direction. And it's true that the number of states did double in a short time. But the absolute increase could be incredibly small.

In the well meaning and fun spirit of HN pedantry it was 239lbs in Season 1 Episode 10[0] which aired March 25, 1990. By Season 7 (1995) he was trying to get to 300lbs to be classified as "obese" and get on disability[1].

But, to your point, his quote of "239 pounds! Awwww, I'm a whale. Why was I cursed with this weakness for snack treats?" would be nearly insulting to much of an American audience today and the grotesquely obese Homer portrayed from "King-Size Homer" (at 300lbs) would likely need to be used for that joke today.

> taking away something that I paid money for and giving me something that I do not want

In that sense, there's really very little difference between Overwatch 2 and an update you don't like in any other live service game. It's no different from the many games which have previously gone free-to-play.

And to be clear, I'm not saying you're wrong to be unhappy, I'm saying that your framing is really just not accurate. Overwatch 2 is really just a peculiar name for Overwatch 1's free-to-play update.
This is irrelevant to my post. Would removing all transparency from it help, or make it worse? Are there better-regarded ones that don't reveal anything whatsoever to the accused and convicted, because that'd make it so hard to stop criminals that everything would fall apart?

[EDIT] My point is simply that somehow we manage in basically every other space to let those accused of wrongdoing know what we think they did that looked like wrongdoing, but somehow when it's an Internet giant calling the shots that's just impossible and waaaaah too hard and the sky would fall if they ever treated anyone with any amount of humanity and respect. I think it's grade-A bullshit and they've just figured out they can get away with being assholes at scale and no-one will make them stop.

But they weren't going to pay off the development work by launching on Stadia either is my contention. Even if it had stayed open. So in the grander scheme of things they are probably better off than if they had launched. So I contend that they will get more sales from this publicity than they would have got on Stadia - even if it had stayed open.
