You can construct counterexamples too! For example, "on your turn, say a number. First player to say a number that is double a number the other player said, wins." Is a perfect (I think you mean perfect information) game.

If you want a middleweight solution, between "ask about this on developer forums" and "try to get a law passed," you could create a consumer organization that publishes a list of games that are doing all the right things

Reasonable, but the level of copyright protection for games is actually really small! It only actually covers the art and text, not the game mechanics. I don't think I'd support that trade overall but it seems better than the unil

This is how a lot of regulation happens! It can actually work better than having central funding for inspections - if there's a sudden glut of people who need, like, meat processing facilities inspected, but it'll take a year to g

What level of justification do you think should be required to skip consumer preference and go with a law? In the case of seatbelts I think the case is quite strong. Even beyond consumer preference, there's a burden on public healthcar

What if, in stead of a requirement, we created an opt-in obligation for companies? If you promise "EOL support guaranteed" you register a plan with whatever agency and pay some fee and they check in every couple years and make sur

As the amount of data tends to 0 (idk why the quote is using 1), if course your belief tends to whatever your belief was before you saw any data. What else could it possibly tend to? Of course it's very sad that we don't have any

Cover letters that just say how much you love the company are pretty useless. Cover letters that provide additional information about why you're a good use of the company's interviewer's time are useful. I've submitted l

My friend has been at Facebook forever - apparently new hires often show up and say "I just bought a vacuum cleaner, why do you think I need a new one?" and the strategy of not showing you that ad gets tried over and over, and nev

I'm a very casual Ubuntu user, but I use external monitors with my laptop closed. I fixed the "5 second input lag when main display is off" bug a bunch of times, it seemed to break again every third time I restarted. Eventual

Related experience: I spent two years on Google Assistant's media team. We were ~35 people. Projects included integration with YouTube (5 person team), the visual UI for touch screens in cars (8), performance improvements (3-4), making

I think the goal of this post is to kick people out of a rut and make them reexamine their habits. If it's a habit and you like it and you're keeping it because you like it, great. But if there's something you're keeping

Half agree. Probably they no longer have the legal right to store (and serve) the data. Which means that they cannot serve the portion that is between your timestamps, which they called a "recording" for reasons.

by JTBooth 4y ago
My guess would be that "a recording" in this case is actually an internal URI pointing to the show plus a start and stop timestamp. If YouTube wanted to not destroy those "recordings" they'd have to find somewhere e

Agree - I moved from 40m2 alone to 60m2 with my wife, and the experience is much better. We still have one sink, one toilet, one bathtub, one washing machine. Her space takes up maybe 10m2. The free walking-around space probably went from 5

Svelte is a frontend framework that isn't React, Angular, or Vue. This work is towards an installer that isn't Node. If you do frontend work and don't like React, Angular, Vue, and Node, this is all the things you like. (It&#

This would eliminate, like, caniuse.com, wouldn't it? Information about what browser version is used by 99% of visitors to a website is an aggregate of personal information of users of a website.

It would be nice if, say, ten million dollars into the process of preparing blueprints, the agency could look over the prints and the plans for the remaining prints and say "yes it looks like you're on the right track, make sure t

A partnership where you send each other customers that are a better fit for the other's product, is the standard level-1 truce here. If a customer calls you ticked off that you don't have some feature, and you know the competitor

I don't think so. If you put some effort into your fallback plan, and choose your weird shit so that it's likely to work out, I think it can just be a good bet. And it's hard to imagine working up the energy to do it if you&#
