Somewhat depressing that the "how we'll actually tell if you're good or bad" is the shortest paragraph in the whole thing. And while it stresses the need for transparency, it's actually incredibly opaque and provides no details.

I understand that there's something of a challenge here to not give away details that allow people to circumvent the system, it's also very hypocritical to not just say that.

I'm basically reading this as: "We do some magic and give you a score".

Some of the actions they call out are very hard to attribute correctly, eg. disconnecting/rage quitting. During COVID and having to work from home I discovered that Spectrum drops my connection on average 3 times a day, and it takes about 5 minutes for the cable modem to detect the drop and reconnect. If I played heavily that's going to penalize me. Maybe they'd target extremes of people who drop some large percentage of games they're not winning, but in general it's hard to seriously attribute all their categories.

HOW YOUR STANDING IS ATTRIBUTED

The reputation system tracks a variety of in-game actions that can be positive or negative, assigns a score to them, and applies effects to players' accounts. This generates the Reputation Standing, a rating given to each person that shows how their in-game actions are perceived. The system must be understandable and trustworthy so that everyone can understand how their actions affect their Standing, and how to change it. The goal is to provide feedback to our players and to promote healthy interactions while discouraging toxicity. With this system, we seek to encourage positivity, inclusion, and engagement in the game.

>"Especially you who seem to be in decent health (you're not american so I assume you're not morbidly obese or other issues)."

Obesity is a global epidemic.[1][2]. It's has been a global issue for a very long time now. This is not new. It's odd that such an advocate of exercise doesn't understand this.

>"You appear debt free? Guess what, you're richer than most american."

It also seems odd and gratuitous that you felt the need to make two negative comments about America in a post about the benefits of exercise. It's even odder still considering you are responding to someone who clearly stated they prefer to go back to America and that they were actually happy there.

Because it's not factual? If you aren't constrained by evidence you can evoke whatever wonder you feel like.
You are conflating compression algorithms with archive file formats.

Use `tar` format and you can combine it with whatever compression utilities available such as `gzip`, `bzip2`, `lz4`, `zstd`, `xz`, etc. `tar` also preserves Unix permission. The downside is tar doesn't have an index for random-access, so you cannot do partial extraction quickly.

Use `zip` format if you don't care about Unix permission, and want to do partial extraction. `Zip` technically support multiple compression algorithms, but is primarily only used with DEFLATE (the same one as `gzip`) for compatibility reason.
Does anyone else find it amusing that I shouldn’t use phrases with “trigger” in them, as they promote violent imagery, but then the reason why I shouldn’t say “killing it” uses “trigger” to describe why it’s bad?
Your assumption is correct. The record labels are their business partners. Spotify does not dictate the terms while the record labels hold all the popular content.
That's exactly how I understand the benefits of monorepo and it seems like a terrible idea.

You might spend one week building next version of your component and 3 months updating all of the dependents. Then do it again. And again. You are working at a fraction of your productivity. I wonder if that's why Google needs thousands of engineers.

Whereas I just updated stripe from 2.x.x to 5.x.x in one of the projects I'm working on, because new version has features that I needed. I never wasted time updating to other versions until I had a need to.

It also limits your ability to break backwards compatibility in new versions, because we all of course are coming up with great designs right from the beginning.

I get the security and performance benefits of keeping all dependencies up to date, but man, the time sink and limitations seem so not worth it.
Google is providing the means to ensure apps will not run on anything but Google-blessed versions of Android.

If Microsoft had done the same, countless games and applications wouldn't run on WINE, and Proton and the Steam Deck wouldn't exist.

Security can be implemented in ways that aren't blatantly anticompetitive, but Google chose to go down the anticompetitive route for their offerings.

Also brings to mind balsamic vinegar: there's a battery of casks, decreasing in size, and each year a portion of the biggest cask are transferred to the one below it, part of which has been moved to the next smaller-sized cask, and so on. New grape must is then added only to the biggest. The smallest cask is where the final product comes from (after a minimum of 12 years, for the "real thing").

Having some older vinegar in each of the casks significantly enriches the flavor, but also protects against bad years, since if the flavor of the grapes is a bit off one year, it gets balanced by what's already there as well as by next year's batch.
When the buttons were covered, you didn't need to push the button to activate the pedestrian signal. It just came on every cycle.
> did increase the amount of people crossing parallel to traffic when the signals indicated "don't walk".

This is a feature, not a bug. With the setup of "two 1 way streets feed into a scramble", crossing safely on a "do not walk" is trivial, with only a single direction to look for many of the most common crossings.
Clang and GCC can do some amazing optimizations. However, these types of tricks often come into play as a result of clever data representation, i.e., instead of representing data as a bunch of objects in an array, you’ve figured out how to represent it, or a subset, in some cleverly packed bits and/or ints (and then can reap the benefit of these tricks).

It’s trivial for a compiler to see (x / 2) and substitute (x >> 1) but it is much harder for a compiler to go from seeing that you have a bunch of Foo objects and realizing that they could be better represented as clever bit vectors.
I remain unconvinced that you have a point here. Perhaps you could offer some specifics?

Removing Kinect was engineering work though, it may not have been visible to people outside of MS, but internally there was work required.

There isn't any "letting it run" here, there is does Microsoft want to backport this feature to Windows 10? There are challenges with that as the hardware support is much more varied for Windows 10 than 11 and so there are impacts to consider ranging from the weaker hardware requirements for 10 to how these things are integrated in with the OS.

Source: I worked at MS, on the OS codebase in security.

Kinect / XBOX is much simpler than this as the hardware was at least known and standardized.
> It would seem unwise to pay to keep vitrified bodies frozen if one had no understanding of how the bodies would be when they were unfrozen.

The people storing popsicles don't necessarily need to have anything to do with the people who dream of someday unthawing them. If some rich person wants to pay to keep an expensive freezer running for a specified amount of time after they die, that creates a sound business opportunity for someone who is willing and capable of running a freezer.

That's simply untrue. My nephew is on insulin for life and he spent a long time homeless.

Where are the "reports constantly of people dying in the US because they tried to get their insulin to last them multiple days and ended up dying"? There are isolated cases where someone doesn't take care of it and dies, but it isn't widespread.

OK, does that mean we should shut down the entire intersection for 30 seconds after a 1 percentile pedestrian would be done crossing?

Should we do that for every single cycle, even when no pedestrians are present?

Many cities in this area do exactly that. I once had a 35 minute "normal route" commute that only took 15 minutes once I figured out how to do it in a third more distance, but by only making right turns at traffic lights.

How exactly is this confusing? What other country uses American as a demonym?
"Traffic going the same way as me has a green light but the pedestrian signal didn't come on. Guess it must be broken so I have to cross without it."

It's a reasonable assumption because you don't need to push the button to get a pedestrian signal unless the intersection was designed by a carbrain.

You're suggesting that police officers would face a significant danger merely knocking on the door of a gun owner's home, which is silly. Just because someone has a gun doesn't mean they're going to unload on anyone knocking on their door, much less a uniformed police officer.

Also: 2/3rds of Americans don't own a gun, and only 44% even live in a house with a gun.

Ever notice that only in a very small number of cases does a "swatting" result in any danger to the officers, such as the homeowner shooting an officer? The number of times this has happened is in the single digits. Hint: that's because there's little danger to police responding to these sorts of calls.

In fact, there's very little danger to police officers in the US, period. They have a murder rate lower than the general population, because people know that cops don't give a shit about when you or I are murdered (nation-wide the clearance rate for homicides is abysmal, one of the lowest in the developed world) but if a cop is killed, the killer will be correctly identified, found, and arrested within hours.

Being a cop in the US doesn't even rank in the top ten in terms of deaths on the job. Retail workers and cab drivers have a far higher homicide-on-the-job rate;

Pre-COVID the #1 killer of police, overwhelmingly, was traffic collisions, suicide, and heart disease.

During/after COVID, the #1 killer, despite police getting first-in-line access to the vaccine, was/is COVID. Completely preventable.

The reason these "swattings" are so dangerous is because police show up expecting a dangerous situation, confrontation, even though it's incredibly rare.

I'm extremely pleased that the FTX debacle seems to be preventing any further integration of cryptocurrency into the existing financial system, and perhaps even reverse it. I want absolutely no ties whatsoever between it and what I consider a morally bankrupt system of central planning, money printing, moral hazard, lack of skin in the game, bailout culture...

Let the cryptocurrency ecosystem develop (and implode) on its own. If you lose money, it's on you. No bailouts, no government help, no nothing. IMO in 30 years the system will either have trust eliminated with rock-solid stability, or it will die out. My hope is the system will self-police as a grand economic experiment. The less the government intercedes the better things will be longterm.
The section you cite appears to only apply to crimes committed "within the special maritime and territorial jurisdiction of the United States", which is defined here [1]. By my reading, it does not include crimes committed inside of US states. It is limited to ships, areas outside of other countries, and various other places. Am I missing something?

Also, it doesn't require a 10 year sentence — it refers to "not more than seven years or fined under this title, or both.". [2] That literally means that no prison time is required. There is a cap on prison time, and it could be completely eliminated if a fine is given instead. Not exactly harsh treatment!

I wish it was. It's the reality I pictured in my head if a $37B corporate behemoth perked up its ears at the mention of its name. And send out a confused Assistant Director of PR to comment on why their corporation was not an apt comparison point for Binance when it comes to financial accountability.

In my imagination this PR person, with odd brevity for someone in their profession, chose the simplest and most fundamental reason to explain things. And then at the end remembered they should put in a good word for their products while they had the chance.

Sadly it's not the world we live in, but if there's any Mars, Incorporated person stumbling on this comment (maybe a dev? They have to have all sorts of IT departments...) do what you can, spread the word, and try to get a PR rep to say something hilarious about this.

Maybe something like "Our customers do often find our products have completely disappeared after acquiring them, but in our case they usually find the process enjoyable."

Or: "We were crypto before crypto was crypto. Every year countless customers airdrop our "tokens" to children in costumes, or while lying to their kids about a bunny. And as for our industry as a whole if not Mars Inc. itself, I can tell you with absolute truth that what we produce has gone to the moon!"
In no other system corruption and 'cronyism' is legalized, encouraged and enforced like in Capitalism. What would be corruption anywhere else is your 'lobbying'. That's your shitshow. And that's why you are in knee deep sh*t.

It’s actually an interesting question if or how anonymization tooling/coins would work in a business context.

You want to shield your transactions some of the time to prevent competitive analysis of your business expenses etc but other times require provable transaction reporting and tracking for stuff like tax purposes and financial disputes.

You want to be able to prove you sent a payment or need to document yearly expenditures for instance, being anonymous in those situations could cause issues. You could use signatures to prove ownership of the keys involved in a transaction I suppose but I’m not familiar enough with the laws in this context to know if it’s sufficient legally nor am I an accountant.

I guess stuff like that is kind of a gray area and is an example of the unclear guidance that pro-regulation crypto folks in the US have been asking for the government to provide clarity on.

It’d be funny if “conspiracy theorist” was on the list as critical of people with poor education, people less able to form rational thoughts about how the world works, people easily deceived, people unable to discern truth. I suspect conspiracy theorists find this term derogatory.

Thoughts on what replacement they’d prefer? I also suspect though that they wouldn't want to be identified as a group at all. What do you do when there's group that doesn't want to be referred to as a group?
Probably a historical artifact from when the extra 4-8 bytes required posed a serious overhead.

The other advantage is that there’s nothing involved in porting C strings between 8, 16, 32, and 64 bit machines.

Of course, most modern languages will store the length separately (using small string optimization) AND offer a way to convert to a C string (for OS interop).

There’s an argument that taking a substring off a C string a) can be done without allocating a copy b) can be done with pure pointer manipulation. In practice though I’m not sure how critical that case is.
