> nonsense that ignores reality which no one who calls themselves a hacker (old school definition) would agree with is still top upvoted

I played Fortnite for 2 years at the start. Reddit posts with 50000 upvotes were complaining about "the cheaters", while posts about actual problems (weapon switch lag, bug where you edit a wall but it edits the wrong one, etc) were unacknowledged. The company even acknowledged the "cheating problem" (as any bad company would, regardless of if it's real). However, in my thousands of games, I've come across maybe 2 cheaters. What I did notice, is almost every random I play with complained about:

- shooting around corners

- flick aim

- stuff that cheats dont even typically do, like allowing you to bypass a highly specefic cooldown which would only benefit a highly experienced player who would beat said randoms even without cheats

And then we get all those big incompetent hardware review sites who can't even explain how vsync works writing articles about how there are so many cheaters in game 1 2 and 3.

Again, I have played competitive FPS for 20 years. When I'm in a game playing with randoms and it happens to be the 1/300 where a cheater ruins it, I noticed consistently what is unsurprising: my team mates act like this is the end of the world, want to shoot the cheater IRL, etc. This is because the average video game player is a bad sport and is always seeking for something to blame his losses on. Most people do not play video games for sportsmanship, but to consume a product.

Do you see the problem now? No matter what measures are added, you will still complain. I argued with the exact same hordes of entitled bigoted kids each time something like VAC or Punkbuster came out. The before and after situation of perceived cheating was absolutely no different. I do not believe for one second that 50 of you ITT are competent gamers and can discern cheating. Less than 10% of gamers can. If you're "an adult with other things to do", you most certainly can't. So why do you really want phone identification, after knowing all of this? Answer that and stay fashionable.
Stranger In A Strange Land is the chart-topper. The Moon Is A Harsh Mistress is my personal favorite.

Casablanca is also up there.
YouTube doesn’t want you to swear in videos it recommends to children. If you don’t want to be age restricted then just don’t swear or use another platform.

YouTube doesn’t owe you the chance of millions of children’s eyeballs.
Yes. You could certainly dig up similar quotes about Google+ being the backbone of Google services.

Japanese Typography: Wood to Metal to Light to Vectors
All the more reason to use reasoning that can't be defeated so easily.

You're arguing that the tech will always be discriminatory and the original comment is suggesting a method that would also work positively for what you are arguing.

Further, if you want people to get on board, you need to include everyone. When you make it about a specific characteristic of person, you lose support.
Geopolitics of Oil and Inflation
I'm almost in the same boat. Maybe finding a 4 day work week job should help us to get more time to develop our projects. Good luck!
BTW, pi x 10^7 seconds, a 0.4% underestimate.
I love that people now explicitly state that studies are in mice. That "InMice" Twitter account did a great service to mankind!
Underground Land Administration from 2D to 3D: Future Research Directions
I'm working on a concept at the moment which basically extends this.

The idea is to simply convert notes into work lists.

All the speed of working in plain text with the output being collaborative task lists.

Still a proof of concept at the moment:

Please please please do this to London too! I understand the geography is tough and that the haphazard 'planning' evolved organically over 2000 years from its origin as Roman Londinium. Anything is possible with the right will behind it though.

Investing in cycling infrastructure is a magic bullet to help advance three key policy areas for any society. Public health, overcrowded public transport / congested roads and CO2 reduction.
As I said, they already falsely banned it again, this time for nudity even though there is no nudity. Is that enough to just admit that the system is completely broken?

As he explained, he would have been more than happy to bleep those 3 seconds in the first place if that was the policy. But as he pointed out, the policy only gives more severe examples than what was contained in his video. The point is that there should have been a realistic way for him to know it would break policy.

In this case, the damage is done. He slaved away for months on this video only to have lost thousands of dollars in ad revenue that can’t be recovered.
> They process sonar information in a visual way

Really? How do we know? What does in a visual way even mean when it’s not eyes?
I think you're right, but the perception that Google kills things off for no reason is strong, and will lead to less folks using GCP.

The brand is in a slow death spiral, I'm not sure it can recover.
This could have been better targeted for musicians as a VST tool or some other DAW extension. I'd be curious what it could do with my samples and recorded loops.
I can guarantee that you didn't actually predict the story, and put it down before you could be proven wrong. The things you deem "predictable" are not so subtly hammered into your head, repeatedly. You didn't so much predict them as uncritically accept the world as it seemed.
We live in a post UML landscape, nevertheless diagramming methods like state machines, activity and sequence diagrams, class and component diagrams are used everywhere. And the ones not using them miss out.

We should start respecting these standards again just not treat them religiously like we did in the 2000s.
Trades batched by second would provide as much liquidity as anybody could use, without the yachts.
As a business customer, we have a dedicated account manager and customer support engineer who in the worst instance any member of our incident response team could ring directly.

We also work with a Google Cloud Partner that we maintain out of band communication with who would be able to mediate account restoration.

All in all, I do not think a business account faces this risk at all and it’s largely a narrative developed from their consumer business where humans are hard to reach.
I've had the same experience; and I see no one recommendation that will make someone appreciate literature. The argument I heard from a younger AI researcher was that books/stories are just a collection of tropes that get reused over and over. For me it's easier to just recommend Dostojevsky, or perhaps a couple of dystopian classics. Even then not everyone will understand how literature is not just about information which become a story.

For me Crime and Punishment was perhaps a bit painful for me as a teenager I remember entering the same state of mind as the main character Raskolnikov from reading it, but it was also a good capstone to connect the feeling from books by Boje, Strindberg and Chekhov.
... and gene therapy is now a reality.
> Apple has fought the web

Apple launched iOS with first class HTML5 apps downloadable to home screen to run offline, and continues to support those, adding capability and access to native APIs with every release while striving to maintain security.

If Xbox Cloud Gaming can run on iPad/iPhone as a web app outside the app store, so probably can yours.

// What Apple does not like is when you take what is effectively an HTML5 app and pretend it's a native app. And anyway, why do that? For all the whining about Apple's app store not being worth it, almost nobody wants to distribute outside of it even when they can. They value the discovery too much, just don't want to pay for it.
That's what I'm thinking too. These are all digestive responses they're measuring: stuff the body does to get whatever it ate digested. Producing less of this stuff means, presumably, that less of it was needed.

This is like running a study on safety equipment and concluding that "Elbow Pads inhibit inflammation response in Skateboarders" (because they don't skin their elbows!).

Meh. I'll wait for more real science here. But this seems incredibly spun, especially given the researcher's employer identities.
Does Company ‘X’ have an Azure Active Directory Tenant?
And yet when studies are done where people eat the same except for red meat the correlation disappears.

Here’s the thing eating red meat is normal, vegetarians are generally more concerned with their health and do a lot of other healthy things.
Yes. And we also know that vegetarian people's digestive tract becomes longer after switching from a meat diet, and the reverse also happens if they go back to meat.

So there is definitely adaptation going on, and it's not at all necessarily pathological, but very likely beneficial.
I feel like there’s a lot to be gleaned here, but all I can focus on is how this - especially the last line - could be easily misrepresented to spread an anti-education message.
Nice to read that children should not be protected from harmful, hateful information on the same site that cries for censorship if it’s against COVID ‘disinformation’.

Children should be making up their own minds, their parents have to teach them to think for themselves, yet their parents can’t be trusted to think for themselves.
The site isn’t responsive in general. You really need a designer.
This is based on a 2017 script that looks up if their domain names are attached to an Azure Active Directory Tenant.
What is the opposite of simple? Should be simple.
no, and definitely outside the scope of a micro-lib!
Well Dwayne Johnson is successful but he is not really a newcomer... The Scorpion King is 20 years old by now and he started his wrestling career in the 90`s.

And he is not really an "actor" actor - he is more like the Schwarzenegger of today I would say.

One could argue about Bruce Willis acting chops but he might will get an Oscar eventually for his lifetime work.
I would say that the most fundamental core of science is based upon exactly two things:

- Novel predictions: Predictions of things (the more the better) that would not be expected to happen normally (and the more unlikely the better), but would happen only (or as close to "only" as possible) if your hypothesis is correct. The sun rising again tomorrow is not a prediction, but the sun not rising tomorrow most certainly would be!

- Falsifiability: A hypothesis needs to be able to be falsified, by which it can be safely assumed to be wrong. This is most often simply a failure of the novel predictions to emerge, but the more failure conditions for your hypothesis - the "stronger" it becomes.

---

The path to get there and anything beyond that is largely inconsequential. For instance, much of Einstein's work for instance was largely driven by simply 'thinking it up.' When publishing his most fundamental works, he had absolutely no access to any unique resources, knowledge, or ability to carry out significant studies. He was working in a patent office as a low level inspector!

Maybe if you squint hard enough, you might claim what he did was a scientific case study. On the other hand, there are also the more common contemporary "case studies" of the sort of where you run a quick survey on Amazon Turk and then make grand, largely unfalsifiable, claims based solely on that with 0 meaningful predictive value. I would not call that science.
I’ve watched Google’s behaviour towards its products for the 10 years cited and referenced it in my post above.

Reviewing the infamous https://killedbygoogle.com/ I don’t see much to draw the conclusion that Google kills enterprise products. Which products do you use to draw this inference or are you simply saying you believe the mentality they use for their consumer products would be used for their cloud products?

In either case, I do not think it’s impossible they kill GCP. Just that it is extremely unlikely and without historical precedent w.r.t their cloud business.
Really?

Many of us discovered around the age or 13 or 14 that POKE #B8000 plus a little arithmetic was significantly faster than using OS calls to write text to the screen. We were wrapping those in functions, inlining ASM, and building text-mode UIs as teenagers - not as long-time professionals, not college grads, and without all the information available on the modern internet.

Over the next few years, as graphical stuff became more common, we were trying different algorithms to optimize polygon fills, mouse drivers, custom fonts, etc. That was a part-time hobby for teenagers. Did not require greybeard gurus with lifetime achievement awards and college degrees and the entire internet of information always available.

It was just the basics, the fundamentals, a few decades ago.
You can add humans to that list, yet we consider ourselves much more sophisticated than these animals you mention. We recognize in whales some of the traits that we believe make us different.

Having a longer lifespan might explain the higher nurture/nature ratio. Cats and dogs don't live long enough to develop complex background stories that require abstract language to be transmitted to their children.
I'd recommend Stories of Your Life and Others by Ted Chiang [0]. It's often billed as "speculative fiction", and I'd describe it as a series of short stories that define worlds slightly-to-extremely dissimilar to ours, and explores what that means to the people who live in them. I recall the stories being fun because there's some amount of guessing what will come next in the worldbuilding, and imagining what makes sense within the rules he's establishing, but he also drenches the stories in humanity, and many of them are quite emotional.

If you're trying to get him to read a classic specifically, maybe it would help to start with some non-fiction pieces. David Foster Wallace has an essay on what makes Dostoevsky great and worth reading [1]. And there are plenty of other essays and books out there on "why read the classics." If you think presenting your case through the lens of scientific rigor would be helpful, there are numerous studies showing that reading fiction increases empathy with others [2] (and if that's not appealing to him, you're probably in for a very long and uphill battle). For a classic recommendation, I think that similar to the article, Crime and Punishment is a good choice. It's pretty approachable language-wise, it's not crazy long, and it hits all those points of universal themes, some humor, and a deep empathy from the author to his main character.

It can just be the volume of the protein.

Whey has a trace of protein in it (like 1%). Powders are mostly protein.

Unprocessed peas are around 5% protein, meat substitutes are more like 50%.
> For example I always feel that Googlers are not aware what the perception of their company is.

I've recently wondered about this, and I will be stunned if insiders are not aware of how their companies are perceived from the outside: social media makes it almost impossible to not know this, as does actually talking to real people.
I gotta correct myself here, I guess Tesla is trying to produce a robot.

But it seems to be very far behind its competition.

Also, for evidence on what I was talking about with McDonald’s, just jump on YouTube and search “McDonald’s POV,” good luck automating all that and beating the human and simple specialized tools on performance.
Re baby boomers;

this seems likely the cause (compounded by the pandemic - people shifting industries, online ordering skyrocketing), unfortunately we still have another 10 years of baby boomers.
I'll add myself as a second data point here. Lots of beer. Lots of cigarettes. Lots of sitting and programming.

Now most of my friends think I'm some kind of elite athlete and I am not, I just rode around on a bike every couple of days for several years. It is incredible what a change in lifestyle can do.

The average person can absolutely everest, or ride 100k, or whatever, given a bit of training. Of course, training for a year so you can ride your bike up and down a hill all day isn't that appealing to most folks. But it could still be done.

The author is strongly influenced by bullet journaling, which merges note-taking with task management. See https://bulletjournal.com/pages/book

The original bullet journal method is paper-based, and its creator lays out reasons why it should be—the "friction" of the physical activity of writing and the time it takes is a key part of the method.

The Agenda app (https://agenda.com) comes close to bridging the notes-tasks gap in the same way as bullet journals. Emacs org-mode is the best simulation of bullet-journals, as far as I know, and there are are iPhone and iPad and Watch apps for org-mode.
I dunno, there's probably something to that. Probably a bit of both.
> AI that makes faces look "better" [1] though in this case "better" just means "pretty" by recent western standards

The AI is not making the faces pretty, it's just restorating them, even the "ugly" ones. The AI was trained on FFHQ, a dataset that contains considerable variation in terms of age, ethnicity; also it was trained by Tencent ARC Lab, so I have no idea how the west has anything to do with this.
Ignoring development costs, that is approximately the cost to launch one SOFIA telescope to LEO (19T x 1000 kg/T x $2500/kg = $48M) with change. So I think space based telescopes definitely win out.
The irony is that if all the highly intelligent and capable researchers, capitalists, and knowledge workers read more fiction the world would probably be slightly less dystopian than it currently is
Stuff like yogurt and cheese can often be tolerated by those with lactose intolerance, especially cheeses with lower lactose levels. For whey, I would verify that you're eating the same amount of whey in both cases. Obviously, powdered whey protein has the protein extracted and dried so the same amount of whey protein will weigh substantially less than whey you separate yourself.

Regarding peas and lentils: they have a ton of fiber when eaten whole. That makes a big difference.
Assuming the demo samples aren't rigged, that's a very substantial improvement.
Anything just in mice should be taken with a grain of mouse. Lots of stuff in mice does not replicate in humans. I’m sure the inverse is true too.

I really learned this following life extension research. It’s never been a better time to be an aging mouse but for humans the progress is much slower.
This history is a contraction of more than a two decades of continuous development. Watch the matrix (1998) and you will see small, stylish cell phones everywhere. The capacitative touch screen is important, but pretty much everyone who bought a gen1/2 iPhone already used a feature phone that they used chronically.
In this scenario, shipments from your competitor's orchard have already been halted for a month. The market has already priced in the loss, and burning down the orchard itself doesn't change anything. Nord Stream hasn't transmitted any gas since August, since Putin has been gamely claiming that it needs new pumps which, coincidentally, can only be achieved via the lifting of sanctions.

If they named it Cassie, I'm thinking that's short for cassowary, not ostrich.
Couple of things come to mind - probably working together:

The human body changes at slower pace than our diet in the last 60 years. Transforming food by cooking, curing, salting, smoking, grinding and fermenting has been around for thousands of years and we have adapted to it.

Eating food deconstructed and isolated is somewhat new invention.

And the second is - with processed and refined stuff it is easier to OD. 20
grams of whey protein is probably the amount of protein you get from couple of liters of milk or a kilogram of milk. And we usually have consumed both casein and whey together.
What do you mean by "can't be done"? If we can build a 500MWh battery we can build a 1GWh battery by doing the 500MWh battery two times.

Similarly if we can build a 1GWh battery we can build also a 24 GWh battery.
I've been to everest base camp. The distance up everest or the delta of the elevation gain isn't the hard part.

The hard part is the weather and lack of oxygen. This "challenge" doesn't even compare. I mean nothing wrong with making a "challenge" but I think "everesting" is a bad name.
The iCloud hack was separate. They found plenty on the laptop hard drive. The new stuff mostly just reinforces that he’s a failson, so idiotic or damaged that he films himself weighing his crack. The other notables being that the president was listed as Pedo Pete or something in his contacts list.
I've got a PhD in security from arguably the best program in the world. A bunch of people in my cohort did CTFs regularly. Many of us didn't, but the idea that CTFs were only done by less skilled people is bogus. Further, security really is one of those fields where skill matters more than everything else. There really are people attending defcon that don't have any formal training but are as deeply skilled at the people published best-papers in Oakland or whatever.
I remember meeting a business angel like late 90 early 2000. It was just a lunch for chit chatting no project involved. One of the key point of what he shared this day was: « i only invest in project where there is an explicit and mutually agreed exit strategy defined ».
This was the best indicator for him of the seriousness of the candidates.
"Beep boop, I'm a bot. This issue hasn't received any attention in 6 months."

There have been reports that the "telemetry" is sent after a user takes the actions to disable it.

That means that a user has information about them reported in a way that is:

1. against their will

2. without their knowledge

That is spying. The software that does it is spyware.

Whether or not they intend to use it for anything other than improving the software - if they secretly take data from me without my consent, it's spying.

Whether or not you think it's OK for them to take data, if they do so without my consent, it's spying.

Whether or not you really like VSCode, if they secretly take data without my consent it's spying.

Software that spies is spyware. It's that simple.

Trying to haggle in the margins of one definition of a vague term is not a very strong argument to convince me otherwise.

Also: about the first part of your comment - I stop me from using VSCodium. I'm not interested.

My issue with Todoist is it doesn’t recognize the concept of start dates and due dates — there are only dates. Many tasks can be open to be started before they’re technically due, but Todoist can’t model this.
