Splendor

Cue all the champions of capitalism and small government begging the government step in to force a private business to do something.

"I thought I had bricked it, but..."

I would love if the browse page could sort by "popular" or "recommended". With such a carefully curated collection it seems a shame to not surface the best ebooks more easily.

Sorry if this question is off base (I haven't been on Twitter in a couple of years now), but I thought Twitter had gotten rid of the reverse chronological timeline and instead were surfacing tweets their algorithm thought you'd like. Is that not the case?

> "...because you really know nothing about china unfortunately."

Gross.

> I’m investigating the possibility of a printed version.

That's the 3rd sentence in the linked page.

It's not just about taxes. People with EU passports have fewer travel restrictions than those with US passports right now. As was discussed in the article.

If that were the case, then why wouldn't he try to obtain citizenship in the country he's moving to? Why Cyprus?

Another happy Fastmail user here.

Are you arguing that social media companies should not remove posts and instead let normal individuals determine what's true; while also arguing that billion-dollar social media companies are not capable of determining what's true?

Isn't that the same site linked by this very post?

Remind me, which party does the target of their kidnapping plot belong to?

Wikipedia has moved the discontinued Google TV page here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_TV_(discontinued)

> There's no way to copy

Like physical books?

Neither party is perfect, but there's no contest if we're going to add up the cumulative negative effects of each party on public institutions (especially those that are most useful to lower income citizens).

> Do developers get a pre-release of iOS to test on?

Yes, but those pre-release OS versions are changed and updated by Apple as the process goes along. So once Apple declares the final version (AKA Gold Master), then everyone needs to regression test their apps against this final version that will be installed on user devices. The process of submitting the app update to the store must be done with a new toolchain as well. Usually the GM version and new toolchain are available 1 week before release. This time they were only available 1 day before. Even if all the development is done and the testing against the GM version goes smoothly, 1 day is a very short turn-around for getting your app update approved by Apple, especially on a day where lots of other developers will be submitting updates too.

> Also, why do you need to release a new version at all?

Sometimes the new version introduces unintentional bugs that break existing functionality and developers have to figure out how to work around it. Sometimes Apple intentionally deprecates existing functionality. These are things that developers can address with the pre-release versions, but again, those are moving targets and until the GM version is released, you don't know for sure.

Very cool. Will this only work over HDMI?

Good.

Your comment has absolutely nothing to do with this article.

I'm not OP, but they answered this here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23773713

Here's the last sentence of the article: "In addition a lot of Airbnb listings are being offered as regular apartments now, which could also increase supply and lower rents, Goss said."

"Goss" is Charley Goss of the San Francisco Apartment Association, FYI.

> The 9.2% drop in the average one-bedroom San Francisco rent of $3,360 still leaves it unaffordable for the vast majority of city residents.

Yeah, that's not much of a drop.

Unfortunately that's not the case everywhere. I live in a state in the US where even groceries have sales tax.

The unfortunate reality of only using sales tax is that it's entirely regressive.

I tried Skype and it fell short as well. While sharing my screen I can only see a small floating window that shows 1 participant at a time. I can't see everyone while sharing the game. It was very easy to share my desktop audio while sharing the screen though.

Thanks. I'll give it a shot.

Has anyone found an easy solution for video chats with virtual games? I've tried Hangouts, Meet, Discord, and Zoom but they all seemed incomplete for my requirements.

My requirements:

- Host can share their screen and video camera at the same time without having to join the meeting from two different devices

- Desktop audio and host's audio can be heard by everyone on the call

- Gallery view in video chat so everyone can be seen while playing the game

> Yet first, paleontologists need to confirm that these possible genetic traces are the real thing.

As is common with science articles, the headline doesn't quite match reality.

I cancelled my subscription, not because of the price increase, but because the auto-play interface made me stop using the app.

> Many Python users rarely create classes. Creating classes isn’t an essential part of Python, though many types of programming require it.

Huh. Okay.
