How can you change something if you're still denying it?
Decision making is how quake pros can beat aimbotters, and starts to become very important in 5v5 DotA, particularly at a higher level. You'd see it in terms of drafting, ganks, map vision/control, map positioning, sneaking rosh, and other unexpected meta strats. Considering the real-time computation requirements, this is almost certainly a much harder problem.
So while it's entirely possible bot-team would win just through insane mechanics snowballing the game (ganking 0ms reaction times would be fun), or through good-enough decision making + insane mechanics, they could also be outplayed.
Absolutely, repost spam (particularly repeat reposts of the same song so it would stay at the top) making the feed unusable was what drove me away. Then all the random bugs that persisted for ages, and frequent weird/unnecessary UX semi-redesigns. One bug I recall is that going to a song page then back to the feed would never put me back at the same point in the feed.
IDEs like PyCharm can use those and other methods to find most typing issues. In practice this is very effective for most "boring" Python code, but if you get really clever it falls over completely.

There are much better options for high-risk (reckless) trading, like 500x Forex accounts, "binary options", and lots of other nonsense enabled by offshore jurisdictions.
For an easy example of how reckless/risky these alternatives are, look at FXCM/Alpari/etc after the 2015 EURCHF action.
Probably really great SEO/marketing value, and quite useful content. Example being annoying stuff like manually configuring an OpenVPN server + clients, DO seems to have 2 out of the top 3 Google results.
Looks like Linode started a similar program at some point: https://www.linode.com/docs/linode-writers-guide/
Heard some true horror stories in foster care, like a guy who grew up "homeschooled" by meth addict parents who faked tests, forced him to steal to get back in the house (at least at some points), and left him almost illiterate at 18.
Amazon warehouses are notorious for being shitty to work in even considering the type of job, considering logistics jobs like this are sucky in general, that's tough to do.
Very relevant to this thread, addons and plugins are a huge cause of poor performance - I ran into this a while back, where an addon was leaking memory via zombie tabs. Have you tried disabling addons?
I mean, the right calls for denouncing the post-election riots, the left calls for denouncing this BS. Both point at the other and say "this is why we can't cooperate!" after neither happens.
So goes partisan politics.
Also: it's called "alt right" because it's politically radioactive and the GOP wants nothing to do with it.
HDAJackRetask from alsa-tools is the tool for this on Linux.
Yelp seems to have cleaned it up by now, but Google Places definitely hasn't. Was interesting to see how much offense people will take at something minor like this, and how far people will go - like making up a 2 paragraph story and attaching a picture of a rat in food that they found on Google. Lots of "normal" people making up stories that were completely fictional, because they felt driven to punish a business (that they had never visited) for this.
> Worst case, thousands will pay the price in rights, access to services or the ability to live in a democratic society, free from the challenges (life threatening or otherwise) that they sought splice from.
I'm not sure what your point is?
Considering colocation with ISPs of service "black boxes", is this really true? Thinking of Netflix Open Connect and similar programs.
A root-level comment when there are already dozens is unlikely to be noticed; there is significant momentum behind the top comments, usually for good reason - whether jokes, clever insight, or a popular viewpoint.
Instead, if you reply near the top in a context where it makes some sense, you skip the root-level graveyard and are almost guaranteed good placement with the downside of "overhead" due to the upwards chain always appearing first.
Consider also that the penalty for being the 2nd, 3rd, or worse comment at root-level gradually increases due to the increasingly nested replies to each highly rated comment. If you assume root-level comments express opinions, minority opinions are also more likely to maintain good position in a reply comment such as the one you posited.
Lastly, "trickle down karma" could be a factor. A quality reply to a root-level comment could enhance the parent comment's value and result in additional karma for them. Such situations could include biases like assuming comments which merited replies are interesting due to peer validation and thus reading them, and more fundamental added value such as uncited sources being given.
I think it's good enough, in general. While a 3rd party AV might be more effective for someone very prone to installing PUPs/malware, I still don't think it's worth it - an adblocker likely makes much more of a difference just by preventing people from clicking Google ads while looking for legitimate software.
Side note: I've been happy with Win10. While I thought auto updates would be bad, they've all been snuck in while I'm sleeping/AFK with no side effects. Apart from the initial round of disabling various telemetry features, it's been smooth, and the stupid stuff like unremovable start menu tiles has gradually been fixed.
So not quite.
> Dale Drew, chief security officer at Level 3, an internet service provider, found evidence that roughly 10 percent of all devices co-opted by Mirai were being used to attack Dyn’s servers. Just one week ago, Level 3 found that 493,000 devices had been infected with Mirai malware, nearly double the number infected last month.

If they aren't significantly underestimating the number of devices participating in this attack, it paints an ugly picture of things to come. My understanding is these botnets are almost impossible to eradicate due to how fast/easy it is to re-compromise the devices, so traditional methods of taking out C2s do almost nothing. Bonus - Mirai source code is freely and easily available for skids to use now, so there's no single threat actor for attribution/retaliation/arrest/etc.
> Our investigation showed that Backpage “edits” advertisements before posting them, by removing certain words, phrases, or images. For instance, they might remove a word or image that makes clear that sexual services are being offered for money. And then they would post this “sanitized” version of the ad. While this editing changes nothing about the underlying transaction, it tends to conceal the evidence of illegality. In other words, Backpage’s editing procedures, far from being an effective anti-trafficking measure, only served to sanitize the ads of illegal content to an outside viewer.
Turns out NCMEC showed up for the hearing that Backpage skipped, and didn't have many nice things to say about Backpage.
> “You see, it is sometimes hard to square Backpage’s public statements about its business practices with the reality on the ground. For example, the National Center recently was searching for a child who went missing – and is still missing – and found that she appeared in a sex advertisement on Backpage. That is sadly common. But what made this case even more incredible was that the Backpage ad actually contained a missing child poster of that same child. That poster had the child’s real name, real age, real picture, and the date she went missing. The other pictures in the ad included topless photos. We’d certainly like to know what supposedly market-leading screening and moderation procedures missed that one.

Sounds more like a drop shipper reselling stuff from Aliexpress or similar, not necessarily anything to do with a Chinese seller. They add a hefty markup and ship directly to you. It's particularly popular with counterfeits ("replicas").
I wrote off the account at that point and migrated a few accounts attached, but 2 weeks later the system let me enter a phone number to be able to log in.
Moral of the story: pay for support if you want it.
