Review on Steam by azid2k9 with the most upvote:

From someone who has over 500 hours in this game, I can tell you that this game is not worth $1.

It used to be fun in alpha, before they started tweaking everything, and giving streamers special treatment, and hiring people who bashed the game constantly.

There's bugs everywhere, there's always been bugs, and there will always be bugs because the developers are idiots and didn't take one small thing from all the other MMO's.. A Public Testing Server.. As obvious as it might seem, that's something these money hungry developer's either didn't consider or just plain over looked due to costs.

There's been a cheating problem since the beginning and there will always be a cheater problem because instead of investing in an actual anti-cheat (Their current one is FairFight and it records statistics, all in-game bans are done by hand.) I seriously recommend you not play this unless you plan on cheating yourself because that is the only way you'll ever survive, unless you're actually somewhat decent at FPS's, which, in that case, be prepared to be banned at random times because a streamer or someone well known in the community said you cheated.

In the beginning, the developers stole their terms of service from League of Legends, banned people at random times to scare off cheaters (their version of an anti-cheat), and used fake screenshots which resulted in the game originally being pulled from steam. (Seriously.) It's for some reason been allowed back onto steam, and I believe everyone should know of this games terrible past and know that it's not changed one bit. Sergey Titov "OP Productions, LLC. CEO" (Previously known as Hammerpoint Productions) even went as far as to lie in interviews about this game, and delete any comments or reviews that said otherwise.

Players who requested a refund originally were reported and blacklisted from the website which then caused them to have international troubles making any further purchases for anything, even things not involved with online games, I.E. General online shopping..

Avoid this game at all costs.

> once you grow to more than 15 employees, staff hired full time is basically impossible to fire.

This has been a myth for a long time now. Unless your business is heavily unionised and full of 50somethings hired back in the '80s, there are umpteen ways to fire people, some of them even paid-for by the State. Not that anyone needs to actually fire anybody: most people nowadays are just contractors from day 1 and never really "hired" in the first place.

Recent changes in employment laws were introduced so that very large firms with a long-established unionised workforce (FIAT etc) will find it easy to break the unions' back for good. They will do nothing for medium and small firms, who will just keep using the contractor model.

(Of course, if you pocketed your workers' pension contributions for years, or did similar shenanigans behind their back counting on them behind happy to just get a paycheck month-in month-out, then you can't fire them, because they will sue you and get a huge payout. But you would never do that, right?)
I don't think a hunter really sits around, not using his muscles. Hunters are not inactive like people working in an office. Hunters roam. So they still do physical exercise and do spend more energy.

I learned C/++ after C# and this is one thing that really got to me. String interpolation in C++ is extremely primitive, which would be fine only if more recent iterations of stdlib had something that wasn't so completely incompetent.

For those who don't use .Net, the Italian translation would have been: "In {1:g} directories contains {0:g} files match your query." It doesn't solve all the problems, but being able to specify indices in your template string does solve many.
This is one of the best Python codebases I've seen in a while.

Code is easy to read and understand from reading the source, documentation is pretty comprehensive as well. Really exemplifies the proper implementation of OOP concepts in Python, which unfortunately is hard to find these days.

Alcohol, chicken and sugar. Cut those three for effective weight loss.

Activity doesn't need to mean Gladiator training at the gym. It should mean what you want it to. I started learning and messing around with wood-working/craft recently. Good amount of non-mouse and keyboard activity, lots of standing up and moving short distances, clamping things, sawing and drilling. Won't give me a six-pack but keeps blood flowing.

Looks like this is something I'd be interested with. I'll check this out and hope it will be easy and fun to work with.
Yeah. I remember being a kid and HATING Polish translations of English games. Even though I barely knew any English playing any game in Polish just felt wrong. Nowadays I think it just felt more mysterious and interesting if apart from being difficult, the game was in a language I couldn't fully understand. But yeah, it contributed massively to me learning English, so it was definitely a good thing. But I also know what you mean - I wouldn't translate my programs to Polish unless I had to, because it just feels wrong to have them in my native tongue.
I hoard data - maybe a hundred floppy disks, thousands of old burned CDs/DVDs, and 4 or 5TB of hard disks.

I stopped burning DVDs in ~2009 because it was more cost-effective to store data on hard disks of ever-growing size and didn't take 15 minutes to burn data in 4GB chunks.

For me, holding on to data is more of a "but I might need it one day" sort of thing, and it works out cheaper to store it (and back it up) than to put in the cognitive effort to work out "will I really use this in the future?" before throwing bits of it away.

In recent years I've learned to be less concerned about deleting some types of data, partly out of apathy and partly because, if I'm honest with myself, much of the data is going to go completely unused...

...but one day I might need it!

The decision is more nuanced than that. If a lawsuit is brought against the company in question, they have to prove that their degree requirement is essential to the job in question. If it's not, then it could be said the degree requirement is to discriminate against a class of people.

This is predicated on one very big thing: filing a lawsuit and winning. Well, and they're certainly not going to hire you now. But you open the doors for other people to get in without a degree.
This is funny and sad... For some crazy reason I felt sad that the experiment failed.

Combining a thousand networks into one signal is effectively one extra layer (though I don't think human neurons can actually handle a thousand incoming connections).

The observation was a comment on how deep a network needs to be to perform useful tasks.
Average of Dhrystone and Whetstone, which is not a proper benchmark indeed.

Those special instructions such as CRC32 or SHA256 are rarely needed in scientific simulations such as Monte Carlo simulations or real-time working with Bayesian Network, what this system is aimed for. In these scenarios raw power and big on-board caches what matter and on paper the POWER8 has these, but 110 GIPS is not the best bang for bucks.
> This seems exactly what human civilisation has traditionally done: conserve physical energy until it's the right time to hunt, do some very intensive hunting, spend a lot of mental energy figuring out better tools and systems.

Civilization is pretty young when you compare it to the evolution of humans. I think you're also missing out the difference of energy spent when comparing hunting versus agriculture. Even when you're not hunting, there is still a lot of physical activity around it. Not to mention automation.
It's a very sad story behind this. How they marketed directly to the DayZ community claiming that their game would be 10 times better then DayZ. Basically trying to over-run Dean Hall, the one man developer of DayZ, who had it very though at the time, with a horde of angry gamers demanding updates.

Dean was basically making nothing developing DayZ because he wasn't allowed to monetize it (because it was a Arma2 mod). While the War-Z team made tons of cache on pre-purchases even before their game had been released.

The War-Z totally deserved the shit-storm when players discovered they didn't even live up to half of all the promises and hype.
How much you burn depends a lot on your body weight. I am small (~55kg) so I burn about 600 kcal/h when jogging. Someone weighing 75kg will burn about 800 kcal/h if he runs at the same speed.

Real per capita income was roughly 1/9 of today's...so it is more like losing something worth $5,400.
>>>Alcohol, chicken and sugar

One of these things is not like the others. Are you thinking of KFC or the lean skinless chicken breasts that bodybuilders almost exclusively use as their main source of protein (aside from shakes/supplements) when cutting?

PS. I have been effectively able to lean out by dropping added sugar and alcohol from my diet. It sucks going out when relegated to drinking soda water instead of beer, but it's a relatively easy diet to maintain.
Yes I confirm this. I live in Italy but the company I co-founded in San Francisco runs thanks to Italian engineering talent. And that's good for starting, not so sure when you raise round A - a good one. If you have money to spend it's probably better to move everyone to California. Don't you think?
However it's true that the quality of life in Italy is a lot higher than the Bay Area, but you need to stop fighting the system or be part of it if you want to have a really good life.
About your "this kind of thing happens everywhere", I'm not sure you are right. At least not in the high tech hubs around the world.
And again, do you think that Portland is like Italy? I've been there just a few times but my perception is completely different from the business point of view. When you are a tourist though, everything is fine pretty much everywhere.
Italy is a great country to live in and I'm not trying to discourage you, but keep in mind that from every €100 you make, at least €66 go to the state.

To put this in terms of time and assuming you're a workaholic who doesn't take vacations, in a year you work 8 months for the state and 4 months for yourself.

And then there's the problem of the state being a jerk and making you pay VAT one year in advance or taxing you based on estimates done with market studies instead of the much smaller revenue you declare.

Something like: "the average company/self-employed individual in your business made €30K this year while you declare only €10K. We're gonna assume you're lying to us and tax you for the market average, mkay? Oh, and we'll need the 22% VAT on the €30K we think you'll do next year right now."

No matter what you do to attempt to avoid this you can't if you use the Verizon communication layer. The only way around it is to use counter measures to avoid the Verizon software seeing your connection (ie, a VPN).
I've never been confused about it.

OpenReach (the BT subsidiary operating the line network) has a clear (available on their website) policy for how their engineers should interact with people that includes guidelines for informing ISP-customers about who they are and who they represent (OpenReach and the end-user ISP) and how to deal with customers in a way that represents the ISPs well (the customer of OpenReach is the ISP - they're a service delivery company working on behalf of the ISP, not the end-user).

A few years ago some of this may have been confusing, as customers used to have to deal with BT directly, but now "everyone" knows about BT/OpenReach handling the installation on behalf of a lot (not all) ISPs, and every ISP I've had in the last decade has explained this to me when I signed up, and these days customers do not have to deal directly with BT other than OpenReach engineers. And people are used to outsourced service companies dealing with utilities. E.g. I get power from Npower, and over the years a dozen different companies have done meter readings on their behalf where I live.

As for your "Twinkle" and "Decker" examples, blame your ISPs that have decided to use this as an excuse for their own problems. In the Twinkle example, the ISP is a customer of OpenReach, not you, it is their responsibility to deal with OpenReach, not yours. If they're trying to push OpenReach in front of them, that's their bad customer service.

As for your "Decker" example, it's Decker's fault they've not checked coverage prior to making promises they can't keep. And "aren't allowed to run the fiber" == "we've decided (as most, but not all, UK ISPs) that OpenReach provides a good enough network for us, so we won't make any investment in rolling out our own, sorry". Nothing prevents UK ISPs from trying to build competing networks, other than the capital investments needed, and the low projected rate of return for most of them outside of the most densely populated city cores.

The relative lack of competition for OpenReach is a good demonstration that the market doesn't share your assessment of them. Many are unhappy with them, but not unhappy enough to pay for anything better.

Excellent reading.

This part about Eric Smith makes me think: "Doing so involves intense communication, deep humility, and some hard compromises."

I believe communication is very important, but not practiced at the companies.

Now, as I'm starting on the management of a very small company, it's the chance to do what I believe it's the right thing to do and I did not seem being doing well in all the companies I passed: communication, humility and great respect with employees.
Was my first thought too. Great place, Jupiter Artland.

Exactly, blood flowing is very important. Biology is a slow process, and it only deal with long term mechanisms.

Tissues can't deal with intensive tasks very well. They can, of course, but I'll always think of death as a progressive slow down of activity. Biology works best when it's being used at a minimum. "Use it or lose it" has some kind of truth.

I wish. Maybe it's my age, but I do a high intensity exercise class 5-6 times a week and I sweat a lot. I didn't see a significant weight loss until I changed my diet. I guess it's true when they say it's 70% diet, and 30% exercise, at least for me.
It matters because machines shouldn't really be any smarter than man. Because just like the code to do introspection, someone has to write the code for that right? Unless maybe there's a machine that writes its own codes?
>> I'm willing to concede decreasing purchasing power in exchange for some other advantage

That may be, but that's something everyone should get to choose for themselves. In today's world, we don't, and that's wrong.

Besides, we're not even getting any advantages "in exchange" for losing our purchasing power to the machinations of governments and central banks everywhere. We're just getting milked and fleeced six ways from Sunday all the time.

you missed the part where the "SNB Unexpectedly Gives Up Cap on Franc, Lowers Deposit Rate".

When a central bank artificially sets an exchange ceiling/floor, and lets it float again freely expect the currency to adjust. That's not "market volatility", that's just the market adjusting to a true free-float.
I do not agree with your statement.

What do you even mean by "normal exercise"?

I believe that most "normal" people are capable of doing enough exercise (combined with good eating choices) that they can lose weight.

For example, say you have a 1-hour lunch break each day. During that lunch break, you could easily go for a 6km run (30-40 minutes), as well as have time for a shower, and grab food. If you're prepared to have a faster shower, and eat a quick snack, heck, you could even make it a 10km run (50 minutes).

And depending on where you live, you might also be able to jog, or cycle to work - that's probably another 30 to 60 minutes of physical activity, depending on how far. (I have a 15-minute cycle each way).

And maybe some mornings, you could get up early, and go for a swim, or go boxing or something.

Either way, I personally know many ordinary people who manage to get a healthy amount of exercise, and achieve their weight goals.

I also have a friend who quite honestly, eats what seems to be an incredibly unhealthy mix - think large amounts of junk food and deep-fried fast food. However, they manage to stay reasonably slim (think BMI 18) by doing insane amounts of exercise (several hours a day). So it's definitely achievable, assuming you have that sort of willpower.

What studies are you referring to, that show that "normal" exercise will not cause weight loss? I'd be very curious to see them.
"The remaining 25 percent" [of reported 'illegal' interceptions] ", about 700 in total, were human error (e.g., typing mistakes). Put into perspective, the average analyst at NSA makes a compliance mistake once every ten years."

This does not reassure me.

First, those are only the 'mistakes' that were detected and reported - which independent body is doing the oversight?

Secondly, he says that their staff are just about perfect (an error rate of 1 per 10 years) whilst at the same time saying that the errors were typing mistakes.

It is sad to see a Mathematician reduced to such deceit.
Sorry but the taxation thing about the new workers is a very messy thing. You have to hire people who is not employed and with lot of others constraints. About the Italian got startups special laws and they should have access to a 35% reduction on labour cost but you need to hire specific categories of people. Talent always has a job.
Just curious... are Slovene web services more likely to ask your gender after you sign up so they can get the grammar right or do they just go with 'male' or something?
An amateur error perhaps but hardly limited to free software.

In a particularly expensive piece of enterprise software for the finance sector that was translated into German a form field was labelled 'Hauptstadt', which translates back into 'capital (city)' as in Washington, D.C.

Now, this kind of geographic information doesn't make sense at all in financial software but the well-paid developer (who had to double as the software's translator because hiring a proper translator would of course have been too expensive ...) simply couldn't be bothered to look up the different words 'capital' translates to in German, one of which also is the right choice in that case: 'Kapital' (meaning 'capital' as in 'asset).
