cryptofits··on Some Blizzard employees are dreading BlizzCon
I must say that because of Blizzard actions there was x50 more coverage for the people of HK, so in some strange way, I'm glad they did it
cryptofits··on Grandmaster level in StarCraft II using multi-agent reinforcement learning
I wonder which game is more complex, start-craft or DOTA
cryptofits··on Massachusetts Sues Exxon over Climate Change, Accusing the Oil Giant of Fraud
This case will be recorded in the history books as the court case that decided the fate of the human race.
cryptofits··on Disney: Bob Iger bets the company (and Hollywood's future) on streaming
I really used to be the biggest Netflix fan but their OC is really lacking. And they do very little OC action outside their cartoons.

Really glad I bought in early on Disney+ and they are building something so big at a cheaper price point.

Even before this report I was excited by the whole network, and really excited for their OC.

cryptofits··on Weaponizing and Gamifying AI for WiFi Hacking: Presenting Pwnagotchi 1.0.0
That's the first time I've seen your website. I didn't read the entire pwnagotchi article yet but it looks great! Keep up the good work, projects like these really motivate me to get into IT
cryptofits··on Bjarne Stroustrup Answers C++ Questions
Well it's good that he answers C++ stuff, a bit like Walter Bright here (or wherever) answers questions related to D - but the more important question is this:

In the face of more competition, e. g. python, Rust, Go etc.., what is the future of/for C++?

cryptofits··on Meetup.com alternatives
tl;dr

1. cete - https://cete.io/ 2. emamo - https://emamo.com 3. kommunity - https://kommunity.com 4. eventy - https://eventy.io/ 5. "FreeCodeCamp is currently building an Open Source alternative to Meetup.com. They are looking for contributors, head to this Discord channel to get involved!" (In my opinion this article was made to feature this paragraph tbh)

Anyhow

I'm using meetup for a while

Been extremely useful (especially when i lived abroad. It's a great way to meet some new friends with similar hobbies.

cryptofits··on Zombie debts are hounding struggling Americans
"Government violates the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act and harasses seniors for debts that are outside the statute of limitations" FTFY
cryptofits··on A new hardware implant shows how easy it may be to hide malicious chips
As the article mentions, there probably aren't a lot of instances of this, given that software exploits are often easier to implement. And once discovered, can be re-used hundreds of not millions of times very easily.

That said if someone is interested in a specific target or small set of targets, this is a really stealthy way of compromising a system. I would be shocked if every major international spy agency hasn't at least tried this.

cryptofits··on Why is Middle School so hard?
From my personal experience, it's hard because of all the hormones.
cryptofits··on Tesla Is Changing the Used Car Game
Used luxury car is a quick way to lose money.

The spare parts are rare and expensive in most times

and lack of supply make you get stuck many times until the car get fixed

cryptofits··on Blockbuster Could Have Bought Netflix for $50M
If you will look hard enough, you can find FOMO in so many different things.

If you were lucky enough to purchase 100 shares of McDonald's when it was at $22.50 on its IPO date, you would have spent $2,250. Based on McDonald's closing stock price on October 28, 2018, the investment would be worth $12.89 million.

We can also talk about Bitcoin but I think you got my point

cryptofits··on A Son’s Race to Give His Dying Father Artificial Immortality (2017)
Will do ;)
cryptofits··on A Son’s Race to Give His Dying Father Artificial Immortality (2017)
Somehow, this title gave me goosebump in a way the end of Inception gave me

Great idea for a movie

cryptofits··on Too Many Video Streaming Choices May Drive Users Back To Piracy
Good point

When there are too many options it's becoming too much of an hassle to actually choose something

Just think on yourself getting into a restaurant with a massive menu, choosing a dish will be hard

on the other hand, a pop up restaurant with 3 dishes will make the dinner much more fun for everyone (that's from my expirience at least)

cryptofits··on Google Fi Unlimited Plan
I used Google Fi last month when I traveled in Turkey-Russia

I was surprised by how good this service is and by how fast google support answered when I had some questions

They should open it to more countries and not only for U.S citizens

cryptofits··on Ask HN: You're dying. What are the last words of wisdom you say to your son?
I will give him the key for my ledger
cryptofits··on Get Started Making Music
This site is the reason bookmarked were made for
cryptofits··on How do wombats make cubed poo?
That's the kind of titles that makes me love HN so much
cryptofits··on Chinese Pillow History
One of the things I like about the Chinese culture is how deep they go into finding a meaning.
cryptofits··on Which VPN Is Best
Look like a strange way to promote expressVPN

Been using them in the past and didn't like their UX too much

cryptofits··on How to Live More Wisely Around Our Phones
This title makes me a bit sad to be honest

Can't believe we reached a point where we need to live more wisely around our phones

cryptofits··on The Paradox of Ambition
Refreshing!

"Ambition is a paradox. We’re taught that hard goals are hard and easy goals are easy. In entrepreneurial environments, the inverse is true. Paradoxically, hard goals can be easier to accomplish."

It's true

You can work for years with clients on small ccontracts, once you suddnly close a client on large contract suddnly you feel like you can do it again, and also that your service worth more for your other clients

What it means?

You could ask for high amount all along

cryptofits··on My low cost provider of GPUs has run out of capacity. Good alternatives?
Hetzner support is pretty bad

took them like 6 days to answer my ticket

cryptofits··on Spotify shuts down direct music uploading for independent artists
Too bad... That's one of the things I liked about Spotify

It gave opportunity for small artists to share their talent

cryptofits··on Comprehensive Skype Alternatives List
I'm using Google hangouts instead of Skype.

Skype is way too slow for too damn long.

They improve the design but not the UX.
