  1. I hear FIFA makes new awards these days
  2. The developers never thought you'd make it this far.
  3. The Internet is a mere 23 PiB according to the graphic. These days you can fit that on just a few racks.
  4. As the article points out, there is a safety cost from over-regulation. The impact on air quality from not allowing the new technology quickly enough is very real.
  5. Citation needed
  6. "further aggression limited to those who have not accepted their dominance" doesn't sound anything at all like "turning around" to me.
  7. Are you asserting that Rogers employees needed documentation to know that Rogers Wireless runs on Rogers systems?
  8. That's kind of a weird ops story, since SRE 101 for oncall is to not rely on the system you're oncall for to resolve outages in it. This means if you're oncall for communications of some kind, you must have some other independent means of reaching eachother (even if it's a competitor phone network)
  9. When interest rates were particularly low years ago, we saw a large number of companies issuing bonds and then using the money to just do stock buybacks.
  10. The claim isn't that your saying no to fulfilling orders, it's that your saying no to giving them a discount.
  11. While it's true that preventing cancer means you're likely to die in a few years of heart disease, and preventing heart disease means you're likely to die in a few years of cancer, solving both will add dramatically more than both effects combined to both life and healthspan.

    Those really are the big two - as the graphs in the article show, the next biggest things are much smaller and much less likely to get you, which means you live a lot longer and healthier.

  12. > I’ve had this account for over 20 years and never had any issues before.

    "Aged" accounts are a thing you can buy on the black market, as well as hacked accounts of users with long chains of legitimate activity. It's not as strong of an anti-fraud signal as you might think.

  13. It's San Francisco, parking legally generally requires replacing at least one window.
  14. Compare: "I still get spam, therefore all these anti-spam measures are worthless"

    It is absolutely the case that there would be more cheating if we turned off the only partially effective systems. We know this because they are regularly stopping and banning people!

  15. It varies. People are often thinner in their twenties than their thirties and forties. If you browse some before and after pictures the ones who have had their skin tighten tend to look younger for that reason alone.
  16. Just because it's an easy hack doesn't mean it isn't one. It's still lockpicking when it's MasterLock.
  17. If you were a criminal trolling the Internet for vulnerable servers and found stripe keys... would your first instinct be to refund customers rather than do some other sort of crime? Like what's the motivation you envision here?
  18. I wonder if this is a case of overfitting from allowing the model to grow too large, and if you might cajole it into learning more generic heuristics by putting some constraints on it.

    It sounds like the "best" AI without constraint would just be something like a replay of a record speedrun rather than a smaller set of heuristics of getting through a game, though the latter is clearly much more important with unseen content.

  19. The answer is pretty simple here - hire CodeWeavers to work on supporting your game in Proton/Wine rather than some other porting shop doing an old rewrite-style port.
  20. How can you know if you're a good driver in an emergency situation? We don't exactly get a lot of practice.
