There aren't many games that do not promote physical harm to imaginary entities. Even Minecraft does this, and that's a healthy game where the main focus is not even on killing, it's more on the building side.

Even something like Factorio involves violence against "animals" (whatever those aliens are).

Mario would be banned.

This leaves Tetris I guess and puzzle games in general. Frogger is also too violent as it involves harm to an animal by motor vehicles. Pacman involves violence.

Should movies be banned too? There's a lot of gratuitous violence in them.

Much like movies, most games are about some sort of conflict. Sometimes this conflict is violent, sometimes it isn't.

Also how does leaving people with no outlets to blow off steam helps them behave in real life?

The 'video game scene' is extremely creative already, if you just move away from mainstream publishers.
Is that what you would call regulatory capture?
> Eliminating GTA will have about as much impact on carjacking as eliminating Call of Duty will reduce world wars or banning Minecraft will decrease structure-destroying “mobs.”

This is epic-level punnery.
The overlooking of certain behavior never was justification of the the same behavior on other occasions.

The dilemma faced by China and the West, regarding their ways of life, is that they are operating on 2 systems that are different down to a very fundamental level.

In short, China and the West have different values.

The sad thing is that outside of China and the West, there are actually more people being entirely left out of the discussion. And neither have the universal systems and resources to bring these people out of their suffering.

Til this day, China's treatment on Uighurs are still highly secretive. That leads to the claim of internment of 1 million Uighurs become a superficial paly thing by both sides:

* China certainly are very content that no domestic instability because that 1 million figure is obviously not trustworthy to Chinese people. (Note that there is no way to verify the truth, as that's CCP's tactic all along; there is always the national security card prevent any forceful international investigation).

* The West are also very comfortable because they can outrageously condemn CCP for various political objectives. Do they really care about the 1 Million Uighurs? Obviously yes, but probably is behind a long list other concerns.

This dilemma (or pleasant situation if we think about it as a whole) is a reflection of the incompatibility of 2 systems. It is a clash of civilizations. And that clash is not movable by the seemingly good will of the people: if you ask the people in China and the West they would universally say that they like the people from the other side, and they just dont like their government. But they are merely unconscious of the fact that the clash is happening not because of the government, but really was by the people's will, through the thousands of channels of influences that the puny Human brain will never fully grasp.
Incredible work. Hopefully R* acknowledge this and compensate you in some way. I won’t be holding my breath.

Maybe set up a donation page? I’d be more than happy to send some beer money your way for your time spent on this!
> If he wanted to bet against hedge funds in general, then the bet would have been constructed like that (i.e. average performance of funds which aim to beat the market).

Quoting the shareholder's letter from 2016 [1], the actual bet was "that no investment pro could select a set of at least five hedge funds – wildly-popular and high-fee investing vehicles – that would over an extended period match the performance of an unmanaged S&P-500 index fund charging only token fees. [...] For Protégé Partners’ side of our ten-year bet, Ted picked five funds-of-funds whose results were to be averaged and compared against my Vanguard S&P index fund."

Before coming to Microsoft, I wrote my own EngAlphaBlend() accelerator driver in 2003 or so. I knew a lot about how things worked from disassembly but after coming to MS in 2004 I quickly destroyed a lot of my own assumptions. Mess? no. Complicated? yes.
I've been making a thing called Tentacle Typer for the last 6~ months I'm hoping it'll be a basis for something like you're describing eventually. I've created lots of systems that can enable it. Prolific content creation is the largest mountain to climb as an indie solo :)

Right now it's very single player.

> Why would I pay a premium to use an operating system that can't run software my free OS can?

Because you don't need all that software if your goal is to 'code'. If your goal is to run some specific ancient text editor then yeah you may struggle. If you want to code and get something done it's the right platform.

And because the 'normal' things are 10x better - power management, touchpad, display driving, etc.

Do you want to spend your time creating, or time trying to make basic display scaling work on Linux? And why are they better? Because Apple integrates.
Thanks, that's very interesting to hear.

I wonder if / how the concerns will change for different use cases, e.g KYC.

It may also be a question of educating users about the things they should care about.
MUDs were transformational for my life. I was an often lonely kid growing up with ADHD and a love of video games. I got into MUDs in 94 when we got our first PC right around my freshmen year of high school. I loved AD&D and this was the closest you could get on a computer. I became obsessed and learned Linux because they had the C compilers and Unix was how you hosted MUDs. I taught myself C with “C for dummies” vol 1, and 2, K&R C book, and Beej’s guides to networking, just released around that time. As well as learning every in and out of the CircleMUD code base, a Diku mud derivative. I spent a good chunk of my high school life building a MUD that got pretty popular (50+ users on the weekends). Coding new systems, learning creative writing. This led to me getting real jobs in web app dev in 98. The rest is history. I learned how to fix gnarly memory leaks with my own memory allocator and tools like libefence. Taming memory leaks meant my server could stay up longer, etc. I learned about graph theory, other algorithms, multi user networking. I never considered how hard or easy any of this was. It was just what I was obsessed with, so the difficulty had no real bearing on my mindset. MUDs gave me so much and for that I am grateful.
Nobody wins when the public isn't educated, that much I can agree with. Our goal needs to be shifting to a more equitable digital world, where people aren't "the product" so to speak. That begins by putting the user in control of their own computer, even if it isn't something they're fully capable of understanding or managing themselves. It's always safer for someone to blindly use open source software instead of proprietary software. If the end user truly "doesn't care", then they ultimately won't notice the difference. Eliminating the silly social pressures around computing will hopefully pave the way for a more empowered, creative and effective user.
I'm not sold on gifted education, but I am sold on providing advanced classes for students who are further along.

I don't believe you are gifted or not. If I did, I wouldn't be as successful as I am, because I didn't start out as "gifted."
MobileCoin isn't the only fast privacy coin in town - particl has most of the same features if not more, including a private ebay-style marketplace which should be ready for prime time in just over a month (all being well). And you can buy it on US exchanges today.

Is BSD generally actually "their software"—i.e., FreeBSD's software? I'd argue not. FreeBSD is merely one flavor of BSD.

Generally if someone does something you don't like you ask them to stop; if they don't you sue them , or if conditions allow you ask law enforcement to step in.

>This was Zuckerberg’s way to eke out a bit more privacy in the vein of a normal human.

on what planet do normal humans buy all the surrounding real estate in some of the most expensive places to live to 'eke out a bit more privacy'?

This is quite clearly a show of finance and power that few 'normal human' people would ever be able to demonstrate themselves.

Good on him, i'm not upset about it, he SHOULD spend his money how he wants -- i'm upset that people try to paint the behavior as normal and run-of-the-mill.

There is nothing normal/every-man/run-of-the-mill about Mark Zuckerberg's existence.

It's a reference to Beatles's[del][del][del] Paul McCartney's song "Another Day". And this is kind of a big deal as Beatles was one of the last really big top-tier bands that blocked every attempt to distribute their records online. They still cannot be streamed on Spotify but it's just a question of time now.

I feel that many people here don't really appreciate the importance of this. This is really the beginning of the end of the old ways of the music recording industry, and a new music recording industry is emerging right now. Very interesting times indeed for those of us who are working in this field or anyone who loves music.

And yes, it was Apple, not any of the major record labels or consumer electronics companies that has brought us this change.
Apple really screwed up with this one. Now they look out of touch..
Same-day convenience. Also, won't the market be flooded as soon as iPhone 4 is released?

Yes, and they do.

Funny that they don't prominently say so. Most secondary material about Bricolage touts static generation with a web UI as the main selling point. That's how I got interested in it.

You can see this as a good thing, it helps you identify the most interesting questions: those that are closed!
Exchanges repeatedly halted for brief periods, based on predetermined rules. That part was nothing special, it's something like 5 minutes at a time,

Buying to open new positions was blocked by some brokers in response to the the bump in collateral requirements they were required to fulfill. Some brokers were capable of blocking only margin account trading, but RH sounds like they blocked all buyers (plus their target market is margin account holders)

DTCC is basically interested in ensuring that trade settlement occurs. They eliminate a lot of counterparty risk, but the flipside to that is that they clearly have discretion that surprises brokers.
> they could have put together a type-safe back end on sqllite with multiple available frontend APIs to gradually transfer users to Excel But Not Shitty

They have already done this (although not with SQLite), see “PowerQuery / Get and Transform” which is a full type safe data cleaning/transformation interface, MCode language, and then you can link this typesafe data into excel and then into PowerPivot + DAX / Measures.

All of the above is already built into excel as standard, just nobody seems to know about it. Open excel and click data, get and transform, open PowerQuery editor.
I think you are confusing cause and effect. Cities like SF aren't crowded because megacorporations are located there, but rather megacorporations are located there because they are crowded. SF, NYC, Paris, and London are cities that people have moved to for well over a century, because they were excited to live in places with so much culture, shopping, and restaurants. This has always meant that housing in these cities is much more expensive than elsewhere. People have tried to start tech centers elsewhere, which generally fail (In the 1990s the big new thing was the so called "Silicon Prairie" in the Midwest, but that didn't really take off). Some new centers, like Austin, TX do seem to be taking off, but that's because Austin is an exciting city.
Anyone using Racket in production?
but they blocked stock purchases alongside options, which makes no sense if the justification was collaterals for options
> Only buying was prevented, and only for some brokerages?

The first part of that has been a common bit of misinformation. Opening new positions (either by attempting to buy shares of the stock, or entering into a new short position) is what was prevented. Closing positions (selling for owners of shares, or in the case of short obligations buying shares) was still allowed as closing reduces credit risk for the broker.

The brokerages that did restrict, were smaller firms and did so to maintain liquidity for all assets, instead of allowing a vast amount of their capital to be consolidated largely into a few assets, due to the increased capital cost of clearing.
When do you consider that heyday to be? I showed up in 1995 and my expectation was always that anything posted there would be permanently on the internet.

So I deployed Kester’s Rule of the Internet: Don’t put things on the internet that you don’t want to be on the internet. That way there won’t be anything you put on the internet that you didn’t want to be there.
I think the requirements were calculated at the brokerage level and not the individual customer level.
The punishment is being trapped in the room, not how much toilet paper is in the room.
thanks! any recommendations for US?
Once it's accepted that some people think retributive punishment is moral, it's a small and obvious step to realize that some people think it's right to have humans dealing out that punishment. Especially people influenced by earlier-mentioned moral systems that don't believe in an afterlife.
I found that didn't work at all with Facebook and only works with Twitter by being _very_ selective. But I think that is intrinsic to Twitter, and not only for outrage reasons. I unfollow lots of interesting and smart people because they add too much to my feed. If I follow someone for technical content and half their tweets end up being about music or chit-chat with their friends or drama in their part of the industry, I unfollow them to get that material out of my feed. Even if everything they tweet is interesting, if they tweet a lot, I unfollow them.

> If you want to spend more time connecting with people you care about, getting rid of facebook feels like throwing the baby out with the bathwater.

Sadly, lots of people I care about think it's a moral imperative to broadcast their political position on Facebook on every issue of the day. The people I connect with are skewed pretty heavily towards my own point of view, but that doesn't make it any less corrosive to read what they have to say. Facebook is just too emotionally taxing to follow. (Using Facebook's tools to curate my feed just reminds me how much power I'm giving up to them, which is also depressing.)

I feel so much better with Facebook out of my life. I have the app installed on my phone in case somebody from twenty years ago wants to look me up and message me. That's all it's good for.
Why? It's meant for pair programming and has already been done as "Live Share" in Visual Studio / Visual Studio Code. It's a way to work together in only what you give the guest access to.
If welfare didn't exist, corporations would be forced to pay those wages directly.

UBI solves all these issues nicely. People get to spend the money in the way that works best for them. Because they aren't 100% tied to the corporations, the worst, lowest paying jobs gain leverage when negotiating.

While not the best solution, it is far better than current welfare. Even Milton Friedman supported UBI in this context.
It's also a minimum of 3 user taps to enable this permission. It isn't like the regular camera or contacts permissions requests.
It's one thing to talk of equality, in the context of say the US, but what of international equality?

Being a tax haven is arguably how small nations achieve this. The US has a large unfair advantage in terms of economy - has done since at least WW2.

America skews heavily in favour of freedom - for Americans in America, not so much outside that system.
I agree it will be big breakthrough, but more because it will improve the quality of life of the average person. Don't most of these geniuses produce their best work in their 20s? Not sure if adding another 20 unproductive years would help much.
I don't think FTX is a big investor in MobileCoin or located in the Cayman Islands or the Bahamas.
> having to surreptitiously waste 35 hours a week turns out to be quite draining.

This is the real nightmare for me. If I go in and code for 7 or 8 hours a day, time flies and my mind is active and focused. Really doesn't matter what it is, just needs to be clear and well defined.
Talking with a friend about this. Anyone here thats has a good idea to how we can track this guy down and create a donation page for him?
Too late for that. I'm stuck with this.
That’s a reasonable objection. The best data I could find is a ~2% increase in reaction time from a 10% increase in BAC. That suggests the range from legally drunk to unconscious is surprisingly narrow at least in terms of reaction times.

I did not really dig into it, but these devices might actually be strictly worse from a reaction standpoint. At least until the driver is loosing consciousness.
Yes, with an outer bound of however long antibodies against the disease persist. That's the big value in that test.
Masks absolutely help. You are told otherwise for a whole other reason: to stop hoarding masks.
These days you can't get much more than a few mandarins, a bottle of orange juice. I haven't had a home-cooked meal since last Saturday only been eating takeaway as the supermarkets are always empty. It's getting ridiculous here in the UK.

Yes. You need usually an ED physician or CCU physician. We get taught how to do it in medical school, but that doesn't mean we're proficient. You need an ICU nurse level of skill to monitor the vent and it's an intense process. There are some drugs you can give to attenuate oral and esophageal secretions. Usually there's a significant amount of suctioning involved.

How it compares to managing a mask day to day? I honestly don't know, that's something an ICU nurse/respiratory therapist would know.
> We don't get this nonsense where the insurer tries to deny us and hope that we don't dispute.

It’s also not the case in 99% of US claims. The ones you hear about are typically due to healthcare providers not providing sufficient justification for the healthcare or medications they are prescribing, which can easily cost tens of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of dollars.

The “insurers” are many times not even the payer. In many cases, the government hires insurers to adjudicate healthcare according to the government’s rules, which will specify under what scenario and documentation they will pay for certain treatments.

Surely, there are mistakes made, but there is no standard operating procedure at insurance companies to deny healthcare. They employ teams of doctors and pharmacists to review cases and determine what is evidence based medicine and what conforms to the payers’ guidelines.

I'm not sure what your experience with law enforcement is before, but even if you and I know very well you can "leave at any point" and bunch of other facts, actually doing so when faced with someone like that in real life is really, really, really hard.

You don't want to give them the impression that you have anything to hide, so you try to cooperate even if you don't really want to, and just walking away feels like it would escalate the situation, even if you realize afterwards it wouldn't.
You can't just have security features not implemented on some clients; you have to actively break them. The simplest thing you can do there, versioning the protocol to indicate compliance, is easy for developers to work around. Users will stick with the client that has their preferred UX (really, in practice, they're going to stick with whatever the first client they got working is, because users hate installing stuff). It's a total mess.

I can't blame the Signal project for wanting to avoid it entirely. You can of course disagree!
I know. Especially when we are talking about Mac Pro (!) users. Even in the HIGHLY unlikely probability that they don't have a second Mac of their own already, they more than likely know someone with a Mac they could borrow for the 10 minutes (tops) it would take to perform this procedure.
