There was a time when I thought people who said things I do now were conspiracy theorists, but I don't even want to share my data with my "friends", not through Facebook anyway. I filled my account with fake info and periodically delete all my posts and likes so FB is little more than a contact list for me. Much of the time my account is deactivated. Judging by your and my example the use trend for FB is downward.
There's some speculation that the process of intermittent fasting -- from half a day to 8 days or more, simulating conditions that occurred in nature -- allows the body to clear out some senescent cells through autophagy. If true it would show that there is value in removing them, though non-drug induced process would probably be preferable for an average person.
I meant failed to live to the promise of the concept which is similar to this game's. That said I do respect that NMS makers put an effort to clean up some of the mess when they could have just taken the money and gone.
Not sure that the concept can ever be successful though. There's something uninspiring about autogenerated worlds, like autogenerated art.
No Man's Space came out meanwhile anyway (and failed). Maybe something where your action caused the world/planets/section of the universe to be regenerated based on what you did. Maybe you find a box on the planet and you regenerate it using the code you type on the console in JavaScript. No need to be slave to the original idea to the letter, it's enough to use it as a guidance but adapt as the world changes, as you change. I feel sorry for him too though.
What is spectacular is your confirmation of the principle. To illustrate it to you, consider a hypothetical Wife Derangement Principle:
Bob: "Is there anything your wife has done that you think is good? If you can't name anything, then you have Wife derangement syndrome." Chris: "You forgot to account for the most likely explanation there, sport: my wife is just a gigantic piece of shit. And given what I know about her, that's the likeliest explanation. Literally everything she has done which has not been harmful has been insufficient." Chris (continuing, agitated): "If you can name one thing that my wife has done that you think is good, you're either evil or a spectacular dumbass."
Would you really think there's any merit to Chris's words, or would you say this guy is blinded with hate? She cannot possibly be that bad or she wouldn't have been part of the society, they wouldn't have gotten married, she wouldn't have any friends and so on.
That's right. They are not the same. Few people had Obama Derangement Syndrome compared to tens of millions with TDS. But this madness is not over, it needs to play out further. It's going to be a neurotic society's Primal Scream.
"In 2009, the federal government authorized California to set emission standards for cars and trucks that are more stringent than those set by the federal Environmental Protection Agency." https://www.forbes.com/sites/g...
No it doesn't. During the Obama admin CA applied for tougher emissions standards for the car and was granted permission. (Was revoked this year.) The outsize influence of CA means they can't do whatever they want if they want to be a state in the union. Hawaii on the other hand could easily impose its own NN rules and no one would stop them. Likewise if CA wanted to impose its own rules on say textbook production that wouldn't bother anyone either.
What is the left's problem with one major conservative media outlet existing when they have NYT, WaPo, CNN, ABC, MSNBC... and ESPN. It's not like any of those is a paragon of unbiasedness. Last time NYT endorsed a Republican presidential candidate was in 1956; last time WaPo endorsed a Republican candidate: never.
Batshit crazy goes in cycles. Last peak was during WW1/2 and this one is hopefully less destructive. Blame it this time around on the social media that makes everyone's private thoughts available for inspection by everyone else.
My all time favorite was Time Lapse from 1997. Beautiful graphic and good puzzles with lots of mystery and a great story line. I never looked at the Easter Island the same.
I'll be posting this on FB, if nothing than to have my Trump-hating & privacy loving friends (and "friends") tied in a knot. As for me, I'd say, do it like EU's GPDR, but only for very large companies.
So you have one confirmed instance of employees' serious intent to rig search results, you have the management's *word* that it didn't happen, and from that you conclude that the story is not newsworthy because it follows no other instance of such intent ever occurred, or if it did it must also have been blocked by the management -- according to the management? After the leaked video showing clear and unequivocal political preferences of the management?
...to paraphrase the presidential candidate for whom Google's Eric Schmidt apparently worked, as evidenced by the photo of Schmidt on election night in the Javitz center wearing a "STAFF" badge, probably convinced there was no reason to hide too much because she was going to win for sure: https://freebeacon.com/politic...
That said I still trust Google for code searches, for now.
That's true even for simple things: you look at the Pythagorean theorem and at some point the proof of the theory "clicks" somewhere inside you and you say yes this is true. A genius friend at the university argued with his mathematics professor on some advanced course as he didn't give my friend the full credit on some very complicated proof, and he said "see here, colleague" (they call all students "colleague"), "the mistake is you wrote this orientation here is clockwise but it's counter-clockwise". The student said "no it is clockwise." The professor looked back at the paper and asked (aware of the student's genius and reputation) "why is it clockwise?" And the friend said "But it must be!" And the professor looked again and said "yeah, you're right, it is."
Nassim Taleb uses The New Yorker as one way to identify what he calls Intellectual Yet Idiot:
"More socially, the IYI subscribes to The New Yorker. He never curses on twitter. He speaks of “equality of races” and “economic equality” but never went out drinking with a minority cab driver (again, no real skin in the game as the concept is foreign to the IYI). Those in the U.K. have been taken for a ride by Tony Blair. The modern IYI has attended more than one TEDx talks in person or watched more than two TED talks on Youtube. Not only did he vote for Hillary Monsanto-Malmaison because she seems electable and some such circular reasoning, but holds that anyone who doesn’t do so is mentally ill."
It sounds like you are assuming that civility always yields the best results. A good counterexample is Steve Jobs, but really Linus Torvalds too. Bill Gates also. The trick is only, people will only tolerate your incivility if you consistently deliver top quality.
Arguably Donald Trump wouldn't be President either if he were civil.:-)
No, you cannot cross that line. A hyper sensitive person can take personally any and all criticism, and then you can't say anything to him. That treatment is only reserved for children. In my book, you can call any "thing" -- something the person did or made -- all sorts of insults, especially if you have a track record of delivering results, you only do not disparage the living soul that is the person, so to speak, because it is outside of our domain. Which is exactly what Linus did.
A hypothesis/theory can be stupid. A harsher way to say it is that it is "not even wrong."
If someone had said to Hawking "your hypothesis is stupid, it doesn't have the basic math to support it and you could never construct an experiment to falsify it, go back to the drawing board", and if it was warranted, then it would have been good feedback. If it wasn't, Hawking would have been able to argue why that is not so.
Linus never insulted the person, just what they did.
If he is too afraid to speak he can not be brilliant -- he hasn't had a chance to achieve brilliance without engaging with others and correcting, or standing his ground, based on their feedback.
"So somebody isn't telling the truth here. Somebody is pushing complete garbage for unclear reasons. Sorry for having to point that out."
He never trashes the human being, only the stupid thing they did, and people do stupid things and need feedback and correction. But the SJW culture has people focusing on their feelings and their fragile egos instead of what is being built.
I have read that the concept of time as unidirectional is a "construction adopted by physicists and others for its unraveling properties." In other words time going forward is a useful way of observing a system whereas in some less scientific cultures time is seen as cyclical in nature. But even in physics the unidirectional time can be traded for the frequency domain where all phenomena are a composition of cycles, and one can be trained in thinking very skillfully in that domain.

All abuse of Google+ ceases today, or whenever they close it. Hope facebook won't be far -- 5 years?

Yes, Democrats would be great for regulating Big Tech and enforcing free speech. /s
