We may be able to decrease that just a tiny bit. I did buy it legit, twice, but its a pain in the ass to keep a track of whats going on with licensing, which platform do i have licenses on? What platform did i get migrated to without knowledge or consent? Etc. but it is a nice game to come back to every now and then. So i dont buy it anymore but when i feel like playing i pirate it, i figure i own it on at least two platforms already, should be ok. If others like me exist, then the high piracy numbers might in part be a condemnation of drm and another part high praise to the replayability of the game.

Few other games get this much revisitation from me. Warcraft 3 used to until blizz stope that from me and forced me into their "remaster"
Btw this sucks. I'm a big fan of World of Goo, and bought it on every platform that I use: directly, on Steam, on Google Play and on Apple AppStore.

Recently I wanted to install it on my phone and found out, that my bought version of World of Goo on Google Play is no longer available, because, surprise, Netflix. Not only it stole my bought app from me, it also prohibits me from buying it again because Netflix is not available in my country.
It might be not dying but, for example, our company banned new apps to be build with Ruby and Javascript, instead new apps needs to be build with Go or Rust, existing apps will continue to be written in Ruby and no plans to migrate to other languages, but at some point I think it would be migrated and/or deprecated.
Why was Pahon lying on top of the oven?
That's a pretty incredible amount, because there was a point where there were indie bundles making headlines every week and World of Goo was featured in every single bundle imaginable. I feel like every person who played games 15 years ago bought World of Goo intentionally or accidentally in some form at least 10 times.
I own the Le Strum, but honestly a tablet app would be almost as good. There's no tactility for the strum bar anyway.
Let me phrase it a different way: I don't think there are any organisms selecting for being genetically modified in petri dishes by researchers in research labs. I consider the gene transfers by lightning to be the equivalent of that.

Unsurprisingly there are organisms that seem to preferentially strike (and mutate) in hospitals, but have they (yet?) selected for some special preference for, say, urban hospitals? I doubt it, though it would be cool (and probably frightening) if so. That situation would be more likely to evolve than the researcher case.
Ohh damn... Mixed feelings now I'm super happy that you liked the pasta!! And I'm super sad the numbers are cropped! I did do a layout check... I'll investigate. If I can fix it, I'll send you a free copy. I'd just need your address. Thanks so much for buying and for having liked!!! My email is olivbruno8 at Gmail so if you drop me your address I'll ship you a fixed copy when I get to fix it! Thank you for this!! You and family loving it is a great, great way to start my day. Thanks!
Wow this is such an awful excuse.

Here’s a whole list of projects intended for kids.

It includes building out a whole weather station which includes a humidity sensor as one of the many things it can do.
>Dealing with short term load spikes with existing infrastructure is a different problem that isn't really relevant in this context.

EVs sold today are going to be charged on the grid we have today. if that makes their carbon footprint barely better than gas and slightly worse than a hybrid it means our subsidies would be better used to increase carbon free electricity generation and increase hybrid sales. Once EVs have smaller carbon footprints then it will make sense to subsidize them. If you don't care about the short term then yes. The long term solution is full carbon free electricity and EVs

I've always dreamed of listening in on conversations between legendary minds in art and philosophy.

I created a couple "rooms" that allow us to join in on these conversations, even participate. Still very early, with so many interesting ideas I want to implement.

I would also love for the foundation contexts for commentators to be "open-sourced." Link below for anyone curious about how the base narratives are referenced.

I'm using the fluxbox flavour. I'm using it because my 13 year old desktop runs it like it's a new computer. It's rolling release, of sorts, meaning no 2/5 yearly upgrade/reinstall. I think also it doesn't use systemd, which was at some point important to me. It's really lightweight too, I run VMs on it no hassles. I used to use crunchbang before it was discontinued because I want the operating system to get out the way so I can get on with what I need to do. Unlike Mac and Windows which are, from my experience, always in your way.
The LVT was relaxed in Vancouver in part because of the grandparent noted concerns of the democratic vote of the average joe in small non-profit-seeking property holdings that can't bear the (functionally regressive) tax the same as the ibanker overlords squeezing a skyscraper of tenants in faux-luxury studios dry.
The heatpump and solar are luxury in the US is mainly because prohibitive install cost and regulations. The heat pump and solar panels are very cheap. I was quoted a mini split installation 12k, the unit which is one of the best in the market cost only 2k and the job is a one day and half . I end up not getting it.
One or two years ago, I have tried to run a recent macOS on a Macbook air 11" from 2011, 4GB of ram, it was just unbearable, any actions would take seconds, I wonder if it is still problematic.
An irreducible problem requiring effort is gaining critical thinking skills, knowledge, perspective, and intellectual and moral honesty and courage. Here are some controversial books that may enlighten the reader to some of the myriad nuances of intersecting problems:

- The Undertow: Scenes from a Slow Civil War by Sharlet. 2023.

- Woke Racism by McWhorter. 2021.

- The Case Against BDS: Why Singling Out Israel for Boycott is Anti-Semitic. by Dershowitz. 2018.

- Empire of Illusion: The End of Literacy and the Triumph of Spectacle by Hedges. 2010.

- The Fateful Triangle by Chomsky. 1983.

- Anti-Semite and Jew by Sarte. 1946.

- Mein Kampf by Hitler. 1925.
It's a good language, better and safer than C/C++.

However, Microsoft has messed it up in multiple ways:

- It was great for Windows desktop applications, then they came out with Silverlight which then got abandoned.

- It has its own version of DLL hell. Users almost always need to download the .NET runtime. Windows 10 originally shipped without the most popular version, which made the runtime the most popular download.

- MS could not come up with a consistent naming and numbering conventions for their versions, Core, Framework and now just .NET

- Visual Studio Code doesn't properly support it, yes there are plugins, but to do anything useful you need Visual Studio proper.
Most Android phones get updates only for few years compared to iPhones. That alone is a good reason to choose iPhone over most (but not all) androids.
It's a sigmoid function, not softmax. Softmax is for multi-class classification.
Doesn't answer my question.

I would actually like to know if there have been any. I'm quite open to criticising things that he has actually done, and have made criticisms of him plenty of times. But I'm not aware of any journalists that he's kicked off twitter/X. The closest to such a scenario that I'm aware of is him (so far) not allowing Alex Jones back on, but he didn't actually kick him off.
This model also means using of lots and lots of labor because sales volume of those shops is very small and it keeps entire family occupied. It means those people are unavailable for other productive activities.

The world is entering labor shortage zone that will last for as long as we don't figure how to fix reproduction without abandoning human rights (which isn't an option anyway because there are many countries and people can vote with their feet).

Economic models that are as efficient as possible and above all, labor efficient, are thus highly preferrable.
It's very likely we will see totally unmanned chain convenience stores soon.
In the second or the third movie about Bilbo, this is revealed a bit, when the Elven king is ranting against this or that. During talking, he "drops" his magic a bit, and you can see that underneath magical makeup, he's severely scarred in his face.
They got what they voted.
This is a huge oversimplification of the conflict.

The Israel-Palestine conflict is not like US native American conflict where we landed somewhere we'd never lived before, killed as many people as possible, and broke treaty after treaty.

The Jews has been living there for 2000+ years. The Ottoman empire was the last empire in control of that area. It lost a war and gave up that land to the British. The British proposed a break up. That was rejected. The UN proposed a break up of the area into Jewish and Arab land. The Arabs did not agree with he division of land and went to war with Israel, Israel won. This happened a few times until we ended up with today's boarders.

Now neither the Israelis nor Palestinians believe in a two state solution. And you have two groups of people bent on the others destruction.
EmailNewsletters.Age > GitHub.Age ? “Showing my vintage” : “Kids these days”
> They offered my wife and me free samples (based on her work, not as compensation for writing this post); she accepted, and I’m still debating.

Given that it's an oral colonist it seems likely that the author has tried the free sample as well, even if they were to live in a no-kissing houshold.

The title is a lovely garden path sentence: "A genetically modified bacterium that outcompetes bacteria causing tooth decay" -- a straightforward parse leads you to the plausible assumption that the genetically modified bacterium causes tooth decay. The insertion of a "the" before "bacteria" would remove the ambiguity.
I've been doing Java since '97 and have gone through dozens of IDEs and editors over the years -- and never used IntelliJ (because I don't like it).
Is this sarcasm or are you that out of touch with the entire world? I need to know so I can decide whether to vote your comment down or up (in that order) please.

Wow I didn't know this is possible / legal.

I wonder how many on the labour side would be willing to lower their wage for same work if prices actually came back down? Would you?

That then too is greedflation... Everyone is trying to maximise their profits. And keep them at same level when they can.
You can also do `User.limit(5).ids` which does the same thing.
Google Apps have several other problems as well.

1. Poor Google Drive interface makes managing documents difficult.

2. You cannot just get a first class Google Doc file which you can then share with others over email, etc. Very often you don’t want to just share a link to a document online.

3. Lack of desktop apps.
If one wants to put these old machines to good use, it's worth remembering (after checking that they still work), that these older machines (the iMac and the MacBook) are still user-upgradable.

The iMac should allow for 4GB of RAM (of which only 3 will be usable), the MacBook unofficially supports 8GB. Add in a cheap S-ATA SSD, and for some not too high, two digit amount of EUR or USD, these machines will be actually useful for someone.
Why not use the SRV record which has been created for this purpose, advertising seervices, specifically and use port 11371/tcp which has been registered with IANA for OpenPGP HTTP Keyserver? Why create new non standard mechanisms when these already exist? One could even use a different port and protocol with SRV records.
Yes, but Not the People.
Is there some state of the art Handbook (Springer Taylor&Francis type) that you could recommend on physical methods of Transfection that goes into the physics of it?

We need more of this sort of science, trying out weird ideas just because. A lot of hypotheses will be dead ends, but surprising discoveries more than make up for it.

I believe you, but... Are you going to the Purchases section of Google Play Store, or just using the main search?
It felt similar to Foundation series, and I liked the focus on the overall ideas being presented and not any individual characters. I think I’ve heard this called philosophical science fiction but am not sure that’s the most accurate subgenre. Anyway, as OP says adjacent to this answer, I agree that books two and three are far better than book one. Like 30 plot twists per book; real page turners.

We also just adopted Tailscale for our org and I can answer that one:

SSO for Auth: before we had to go through the key exchange process for every employee and then manually update the Gateways wg conf. Now it’s just: login here with your work account and you’re done.

Authorization config: I like the ACL abstractions on top of Wireguard. It’s a part is completely missing and building it yourself would be a nightmare. I also don’t want to manage iptables for every device.

All of the nice little feature that they provide:

As I remember it the article was quite interesting notably because it also compared another similar category game released around the same time that chose DRM and yet had similar piracy ratios.
The EU as a whole requires models used for automated decision-making to be interpretable, and logistic regression is highly so.

Benefits fraud is a big problem in France, and this investigation shows an agency doing its job properly.
Bringing an idea from your head to life ( music production)
This is ignoring how modern graphics work on a computer. If you want to make a terminal into a compositor you do want to have programs communicate pixel data over stdout. You instead allocate a buffer (texture) that programs draw into. The approach described is unable to utilize hardware acceleration that is useful for a compositor. If you play a video there will be a lot of overhead in this approach compared to a normal compositor where the video decoding and composting can happen entirely on the GPU.
There is so much to learn from this in a product building context. How the musicians align and deliver the notes just by watching the conductor’s expressions, the excitement overall, the positivity and calmness, yet stupendous outcome.
No, I think the implication is that it was an attempted coup. Not because they removed Altman as CEO, but because they removed him as a board member.
When giving rough estimates of distance, yards and meters are often close enough to substitute. (400 meters ~= 437 yards ~~= 400 yards)
Tolstoy explaining how much land a man needs by writing a just-so story while at the same time enjoying the payments his former serfs make for sharecropping on his remaining latifundia and the ones the government processes for the lots he sold to them after giving them freedom sounds exactly like a former plantation owner explaining that the Blacks can only prosper under his wise guidance and that's why they shouldn't own land directly, but work as sharecroppers.

And we all know that a man needs at least 160 acres and maybe two or three times this area if the lands are marginal. Pahom's first lot was 40 acres. His second lot was 135 acres, still smaller than he would have received in the US or Canada. His final lot was going to be several tens of thousands acres, so he did go a little bit overboard with it.
Tyrion went to Essos to find the lost sword, Brightroar. After finding it, he decided to stay in Essos. Eventually, become the leader of the Second Sons. When Daenerys Targaryen seeks out the Second Sons to claim the Iron Throne, Tryion thought to aide her to repay his father’s cruelty. He never expected to fall for the Targaryen Princess. And he suspects she’s falling for him too.
AI Safety or lack thereof, to the extent that it emerges as a real threat, will be a matter for law enforcement.

Just like “terrorism” and “drugs” and all the other vaguely menacing things that ended up being worth a pile of money to some incumbent interest, the real story will be boring: some crooks used a fancy-ass LLM to take a bank apart or something. The bank calls the cops, this happens about twice before the cops have a division for this sort of thing, and sooner or later someone is in a courtroom.

It would be nauseatingly boring to get into how many times this has happened.

Also predictably depressing, the real story, which is yet another brick in the wall of “we’re handing the reigns to people who make movie Zuck look flat fucking normal”, goes largely unreported.

We used to complain about dual-class share structures.

Sam just eviscerated a board of an ostensible charity with the full backing of MSFT and got himself installed as Ungovernable God Emperor of Arrakis for life. Still doing the eyeball scanner thing.

Still has never shown the public he can handle numpy to the tune of MNIST.

This is all in broad daylight and the Gemini launch gets clobbered because the 4-series comparable one comes out in January.

Sam’s a smart guy, I’m quite sure he’d pay attention if the braintrust (this site) complained loudly.

But the message is: “more, not less”.
My cousin who has Coeliac disease used to do this every so often. We also made pizza with a non-wheat base for her.

Gandalf does mention that Bilbo's mithril chain mail is worth more than the whole Shire, so there is some representation of monetary value.
I don’t know if you intended this to be hilarious but it is.
Nadella is as much of an MBA type as Pichai. Their education and career paths are incredibly similar.

The difference is Nadella is a good CEO and Pichai isn’t.

Part of it could also be a result of circumstance. Nadella came at a time when MS was foundering and he had to make what appeared to be fairly obvious decisions (pivot to cloud…he was literally picked because of this, and reducing dependence on Windows…which was an obvious necessary step for the pivot to cloud). Pichai OTOH was selected to run Google when it was already doing pretty well. His biggest mandate was likely to not upset the Apple cart.

If roles were reversed, I suspect Nadella would still have been more successful than Pichai, but you never know. I’d Nadella introduction to the CEO job was to keep things going as they were, and Pichai’s was to change the entire direction of the company, maybe a decade later Pichai would have been the aggressive decision maker whereas Nadella would have been the overly cautious guy making canned demos.
I definitely have at least three copies. Never bought it intentionally and never played it longer than a few minutes.

I never broke a phone, not even scratched the screen but I feel force to buy a new one every 3 years because they become obsolete (I guess apps require more and more memory to the point I cannot have two open at the same time, which kills my ability to pay online).

I bought a Framework laptop for the same reason and I successfully managed to upgrade it, not repair it!

Is there a phone that allows me to upgrade over time and not only fix it?
Rumors are weak evidence. Weak evidence is still evidence.
The best one I've run across so far is, "spicy autocomplete".
I somehow took a completely different perspective on objectivism away from this book than most people seem to have, so I’m glad I read it instead of skipping it because of its reputation. It convinced me to start a scholarship at my small town high school.
The article gives this as the explanation of how it is supposed to work:

BCS3-LI has four main genetic modifications:

It produces a weak antibiotic, mutacin-1140, which kills competing oral bacteria.
It’s immune to mutacin-1140, so it doesn’t kill itself.
It metabolizes sugar through a different chemical pathway that ends in alcohol instead of lactic acid.
It lacks a peptide that its species usually uses to arrange gene transfers with other bacteria.

The antibiotic helps it win the Darwinian competition in your mouth to become King Of The Oral Bacteria. The alcohol metabolism means it won’t produce lactic acid (and so won’t cause tooth decay). The peptide knockout prevents it from transferring genes back and forth with other bacteria that might either inactivate it or leak its advantage.
Why? Charging for leftovers and offering sashimi as an upsell is certainly one mechanism the restaurant can use. And so is reserving the right to refuse serving customers they don't like, and making use of that right every once in a while.

It's up to the market (ie patrons and restraunts) to decide which mix of policies they prefer.
Yeah every conveyor belt place I have been to just charges by the plate.

Do you think Microsoft would have a competitive foundational model if not for OpenAI? Cause Google and Meta seem like they’re top of the pack there, with AWS at the very least releasing some.

It's self-righteous McCarthyism fueled by media, putting a thumb on the scale for one people while demonizing another. And if you don't immediately reaffirm terrorism is bad, Israel has the right to exist, and "BDS == antisemitism", then you're a Nazi and a supporter of Hamas. There is no nuance and no one is questioning extremist absurdity coming out of lobbyists or the fact that Palestinians in Gaza will need a Marshall Plan because 1.9M IDPs will either need new homes or they will seek safer places in the rest of the world to survive. The Western reaction is embarrassing and disappointing, but not unexpected. The mainstream media is full of compliant, uneducated morons.
