Someone born in a particular house with a third party claiming ownership rights faces exactly the same keep paying up or vacate dilemma as someone born in a particular country. In both cases, they might find it difficult to find a piece of territory that is both appealing to live and doesn't involve paying someone else for their right to occupy it.
You're just going to the wrong movies. There are action-no-talking films. Basically anything made by Michael Bay, for example. John Wick or The Raid 2 if you're not into CGI action. Anything made by Stallone in the last decade. There are plenty of Asian imports as well.

The irony about KOF XIII is that purists hate the spritework in that game and it's predecessor because it's not true pixel art.

http://www.noe-v.com/images/articles/terry_sprites01.jpg

KOF XII/XIII sprites were rotoscoped from 3D models. They did this because pixel art is far more expensive. For reference, SNK stated that it costed them around $1m per 3D character in KOF XIII. But the savings come with tweaking the models when they rebalance moves. They can just alter the model. 2D sprites have to be redrawn.

SNK Playmore published a great article which I cannot seem to find now with details on their technique.

The reason purists don't like the look of the game though is because SNK was traditionally known for superb pixel art.

>I frame it as a failure of my own understanding

I think the best way to get into the habit of doing this is to actually believe it. Respect the people around you enough that you consider your own misunderstanding as likely a reason for disagreement as theirs. Constructive communication then comes completely naturally, instead of feeling forced.
Just like the time for the cells to merge increases with your size, the cells also lose mass at a given rate depending on their size. The only way I have found to circumvent this is to stay divided at super sizes so I'm not losing 1k mass because I can't catch anyone. For those cells not moving, just let them starve until they return to normal sizes.

"0% company income tax means more money to invest"
https://e-estonia.com/e-residents/services-and-benefits/

I dont get it, does this mean there is 0% corporation tax in Estonia? What are the taxes on wages then as in if your estonian company pays you? What other taxes should one be aware? what is the VAT rate

so many questions but their answer is "talk to a professional" which means visiting Estonia, answering some of these questions up front would make things clearer and make it easier to decide whether to apply for one

BTW has anyone here done it? a blog post on experiences pros and cons would be great...
Bad for society.

Accurate metrics seem to drive down the quality of publications. Websites with near-omniscient metrics often find that the best way to drive traffic is to deliberately produce shit-tier articles that drive clicks through controversy or pandering.

In the absence of accurate metrics, the writers/editors are forced to simply try their best to produce the best quality material. Their notion of what the "best quality" will be is informed by their background, generally set at universities.

Writers who are not driven by metrics will push on society. Writers who are driven by metrics will be pushed by society.
I agree with you that the hold of these apps can be surprisingly tenuous, and the history of desktop IM client switching would bear this out.

However, there's also a good argument that mobile messaging was a shift to a new platform (and the inevitable replacement of SMS). There are some fairly resilient network effects, mostly geographically focussed, Whatsapp, iMessage, Wechat. Wechat is just further ahead than the other networks in showing what a messaging platform can develop into, a platform, rather than merely a replacement for SMS. Naturally Wechat has also been sheltered from competition by the great firewall. So Wechat is an indispensable app if you live in China, but in the rest of the world almost no one knows that it exists. You don't only use Wechat to chat with your friends, but also to query your bank balance, pay at McDonalds, and shop online. It's all very weird, because the UX is chat, but if your first computer was a smart phone then it probably feels more natural.

Even though the switching costs between mobile messaging apps seem much lower with mobile and notifications (it's easy to have a dozen installed), it still takes a lot to convince all your contacts to install something new. If these apps become platforms that people get used to using to using to interact with their bank or sirline it beomces harder to unseat..

Consider how just a few mobile apps not being available on blackberry or windows phone makes switching to these minor platforms difficult.

You might be interested in the concept of masculine / feminine societies (checkout geert-hofstede.com), because as a texan, you are probably in one of the most masculine places in the world, which is probably rather stressful. I would suggest, if you decide to travel abroad, to go to a country that is considered to be a feminine society, like Sweden or Thailand (avoid the south though, and the party islands). I was astounded that a huge city like Bangkok could feel so relaxed, it is a different life.

Though I have to say, traveling is often not advisable when you are depressed. You have higher expectations of happiness that are impossible to fulfill, plus often higher stress levels, which will likely make matters worse.

Those characters are aspirational? They're almost all murderers, thieves, adulterers, or worse. I wouldn't want my son to be anything like any of those characters.

Part of the problem with the antihero-as-role-model is that it also conveys that being interesting is important. And to be interesting, it's good (or at least OK) for a man to have significant character flaws. So many soon-to-be-men think having your crap together is boring and thus unattractive. And many women think falling for a flawed man and fixing him is a romantic notion.

This is not at all the same situation.

The relationship governments have with their citizens is unique.

It goes like this: give us a chunk of your entire income forever or else we'll throw you in prison. Don't like it? Say good-bye to all your friends and family and enjoy surviving in a country where you don't understand anything anyone is saying, which will probably just give you the same ultimatum.

That's simply mafia-style protection-money robbery.

> Is it true that governments started to make money to be money? I thought banks started doing that first.

IIRC it was governments, for taxation. They have more motive than a banker does. A banker is a professional trader, in the business of buying and selling things at appropriate prices - that's where they make their profit, so having their clients pay them in non-money is an advantage. By contrast for a government that's collecting 5% of people's income, having that in a wide variety of trade goods is an inconvenience.

It's certainly true in most respects that founders have acquired increased leverage.

Mostly due to 1) a million dollars isn't what it was in 1995 2) since 2000 the Fed has been almost constantly pumping liquidity into the US economy, this has made capital far more readily available 3) it has become very cheap to develop and launch products; the cost to manage a million users has plunged over the last ten years 4) knowledge is far more widespread about the industry, practices, etc. among entrepreneurs 5) funding options, systems, networks, have become far more widespread

Today there are dozens of angel networks that are easy to access for tech startups, in basically every major city in the US. In 1995 that simply wasn't the case.

The further along you can develop your business, the greater leverage you have with venture capitalists. Today you need them more to accelerate growth than anything else.

The negative example, that I've been seeing a lot of lately, are very aggressive liquity preferences by VCs. Perhaps I'm just noticing it more, rather than the terms getting worse.
What this made me think of is how many 32 bit, Linux-based, microcontrollers and IoT devices are out there and in the making. Many of these might actually still be relied on 23 years from now.
Usually uninteresting to respond to racist comments about black people shooting up police stations (clearly unconcerned that people are strangled in broad daylight by the state, and 14 year olds get their heads rammed through windows [1]), but so people aren't misled by this poster's uncited "[S]he tried to ruin someone else's life..."

- Richards "stated that she had no intention or wish that he lose his job." [2]

- She stated surprise at the powder keg: "I don’t think anyone who was part of what happened at PyCon that day could possibly have imagined how this issue would have exploded into the public consciousness the way it has. I certainly did not, and now that the severest of consequences have manifested, all I wish to do is find the good in what has been one of the most challenging weeks of my life." [3]

She didn't shoot up a police station. (Just because she's an African-American, doesn't mean she did. If she resorted to killing, that... would indeed be a questionable decision.) It was a tweet with a pic.

This poster is an excellent illustration that many of us dudebros are far more concerned that we'll be caught on Twitter over dick jokes at a "professional" conference, than death/rape threats to women. It's like Game of Thrones.

I personally have worked with such bozo programmers who literally said "Penis? Penis." or "Is that homo?" all fucking day. Such manchild individuals, coddled in the software industry, are the problem. Make them angry, the manchild mob will threaten your life.

No I'm not - when I say "tenants do not own the property" I'm referring to the definition of "own" rather than "home". Of course tenants have a right to call somewhere home, but owning and renting are different things with their own set of advantages/disadvantages and obligations. For example, if you bought a book from a shop you would expect to be able to do what you want with it (e.g. paint all over it and keep it indefinitely), but if you borrowed a book from a library you would be expected to return it in reasonable condition within a finite period of time.

20M MacKeeper users seems like an extraordinary number.
The full name of the country is "United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland" - calling it "Great Britain" is just wrong (it excludes Northern Ireland and all other smaller islands). You would also hope an official website can get it correct.

Although entire languages get it wrong - in German the UK is translated as "Großbritannien". Edit: they do have translation for UK ("Vereinigtes Königreich") but I've never heard it said/written yet... I think I'll start using it.

A worse version is when "England" is used to refer to the UK. It's very common, maybe less so in official contexts.
They probably wouldn't from what I've seen. But it can be a hassle sometimes if they're particularly hellbent on finding out — Case in point, Sonia Gandhi had to pass on being Prime Minister because she held dual citizenship (to put that in context, she is or was at the time one of the most popular politicians)

I also recommend reading "Guns, Germs and Steel" ... and some other literature. Some of the points you make have obvious counter-examples.

>> People from warmer areas tend to have slower, drawn out speech patterns

Where do you get that from? How many languages do you know? Have you spoken to an anverage Andalousian or somebody from Sud Tirol? To an average Dane, Belgian? To a Chilean or an Argentinian? I only speak about 4 and a half languages, but as soon as you consider dialects, local variations, etc ... speed and temperature don't seem to have any effect (and my own datapoints show the inverse relationship, but it's too little data).

Regarding working harder in cold areas leading to civilization ... didn't western civilization develop first in the middle east (fertile crescent)? ... and then the torch of the "leading western civilization" was passed around many warm nations (Greeks, Romans, Al-andalus & North Africa, etc) before the northerners got anywhere?

Hi leemoonsoo,

Thanks in advance for your answer

This is an excellent answer. Read the first line once more: "able to deliver, seeing the big picture and recognizing the opportunities, turning ideas into products, becoming your own boss"

I'd add:
1) Being able to sell. That means a lot of things: sell yourself (write a good CV, perform well at interviews, lead the team, convince others to your ideas).

2) Work hard. That does not mean work 20h a day (some people do, though, like Bill Gates in his early days or Elon Musk), but make the best use of the time you have, keep focused, be persistent, find the right people to share your workload with.
You could make the same argument against driverless cars.
In a densely populated area such as West LA there is a gas station every half mile - what is the use case for this except "oh crap, I didn't fill up and I don't have 10 min in morning to get gas".

An average tank size is circa 16-18 gal - so a courier would literally do a single trip to station per car?

How will you deal with gas tanks that lock with the car, ie BMW, MB, Audi?

5$/fill up works out to .30c per gallon premium over regular fillup on an average tank - which is quite high. If the service is not done by a fuel truck, but an amateur worker, what kind of insurance do you carry for when they accidentally put gasoline into my diesel car?

Lastly, from logistics side, how does a human know when to stop filling the car so as not to overfill the tank? Listening for the funny 'oh shit it's about to start spluttering out of the tank!' noise?

Edit: found it - check 'materials of trade' in 49CFR - you cannot transport more than about 120gal (in 8gal containers max) without a CDL or hazmat designation.

The only way this can be economical is if you don't run to gas station after servicing each car? Or is there a big part of economics here that I don't see? Even buying gas at wholesale but selling at retail plus service fee, I don't see this being scalable while also paying above minimum wage to the gas mules.
The best way to fight this would be to stop buying content from companies that use DRM.

Ask HN: Facebook knows which images I am in. Why can't I “disappear”?

Why do I not have the right to say "blank me out of all photos".

It should be up to me if my image is on Facbeook.

Facebook has the technology to identify me and therefore it should give me the right to NOT appear, even if (especially if) I don't have a Facebook account.

>These prejudice are a product of patriarchy.

No. E.g. The aggressively anti-male prejudice baked into domestic violence law is entirely the work of feminists.

There are many other similar prejudices now. So it's simply dishonest to pretend that feminism has had no influence on family law, education, or many other areas where boys and men are struggling.
