That's a good point I never really thought about, guess I had an easy enough time simply imagining the visuals.

But having at least some of these tapes as actual cutscenes would probably have changed a lot about the game feeling "unfinished".
A lot of important main story beats are revealed through those tapes, of which there are so many that going through them feels like a chore at times.
That's probably why so many people consider the game so light on story: Those tapes are easily skipped by players so they can progress further through the game, but barely anybody would skip a full blown cutscene with said tapes content.

Why Has Regional Income Convergence in the U.S. Declined? [pdf]
Observational correlation != causation. If you had read the articles you'd posted, you see that neither of them claim attributable biological causes to differences in gender behavior and social biases.

From the Stanford article (which is not peer reviewed):

>Trying to assign exact percentages to the relative contributions of “culture” versus “biology” to the behavior of free-living human individuals in a complex social environment is tough at best. Halpern offers a succinct assessment: “The role of culture is not zero. The role of biology is not zero.”

Yet again, Damore's paper wasn't making the argument that observational biological differences exist, the point of which you've missed because you're eagerly still trying to prove it right now. Damore's diatribe was that Google's combating of social bias was wrong, and he cherry picked specific data and stretched evidence to falsely support his viewpoint. Which, in context to this thread, is still neither progressive nor conservative and continuing to be proven vague.
> The past thirty years have seen a dramatic decline in the rate of income convergence across states and in population flows to wealthy places. These changes coincide with (1) an increase in housing prices in productive areas, (2) a divergence in the skill-specific returns to living in those places, and (3) a redirection of unskilled migration away from productive places. We develop a model in which rising housing prices in wealthy areas deter unskilled migration and slow income convergence. Using a new panel measure of housing supply regulations, we demonstrate the importance of this channel in the data. Income convergence continues in less-regulated places, while it has mostly stopped in places with more regulation.

That's only if you store the full state of every block, which isn't necessary even for a full node. If you just keep a few recent block states, plus the entire transaction history, it's in the low tens of GB but you can still fully validate the entire chain history, and reconstruct the state of any block you want.

I want to love it but:

1 - only MySQL.

2 - the per row pricing model is ridiculous. I’ve got small applications with well over 5 million rows, running on few Megabytes of SQLite, I’ve got medium size ones using an order of magnitude more rows running on AWS RDS with cross AZ redundancy for about $150. If I want a json API I’ll slap an instance in front of it for $50 running PostgREST or Sandman, or one of the other SQL/REST tools. I’ve got plenty of free database browsing tools, and AWS Lambda does the rest for fractions of a dollar. Why on earth would I ever pay these guys $250? Their pricing model tells me before I even try the product that they haven’t solved any of the problems I have with running a database.
The part that bothers and even scares me is that people (perhaps OP) do see how their chain of logic follows through your example. But they agree with and don’t find it morally wrong.

It’s like there’s this bro-Catholicism where everyone has original sin of racism or whatnot and must be punished through ex-communication. And the whole moral system is understood and agreed to.

I only hope that some sort of racism/redeemer emerges who can wash away the sins of bigotry and allow the excommunicated to no longer cause racism and be allowed to work again within society.
In this context, dairy consumption is also linked to climate change (just like meat is), because it’s the same animals (cattle) who are bred and raised to produce dairy (excreting methane and CO2) and then slaughtered in a fraction of their lifespan when their milk production drops.

If you want to lower your carbon footprint below that of a vegetarian, going vegan is one way to do it.

> An employee at a SV company writes on a forum that he's not a fan of diversity quotas and equity. Then, someone reads it, and claims that they feel harassed and alienated by that quote. They tweet an angry message accompanied by a screenshot of the forum post. Then, a twitter mob forms, calling the employee a Nazi. He's conflated with real racism now, though he originally was talking about diversity quotas and equity. Because his language was "harmful", the victims have their justification; by any means necessary they must remove this hateful Nazi.

So you're referring to the James Damore situation, and I take it that you felt his firing was unjust. Your characterization makes it clear that you don't think his writing was actively disparaging and harassing of huge swaths of people, or objectively discrimination. We're probably done discussing then if you don't see that, a lot of good treatment has been given to this subject if you look at it's not my responsibility to educate you.

His firing and silencing of sexists makes the workplace a lot safer for people who are guilty of nothing but being born women. It makes it a lot less safe for people who espouse views that hurt others. I'm 100% OK with that -- that should be how the world works.

Do you see the nearly perfect asymmetry between the first two paragraphs in your reply?

Why is it that Paragraph 1's suppression leads to an explosion of progress, but Paragraph 2's suppression is the only way to exterminate ideas you don't like?
It’s easy. You just test it out and see if you get fired. If you get fired, then it’s invalid and the others can learn what not to say.

This obviously leads to a productive and long lasting society.
> Kojima Productions, pre-Death Stranding, was only a subsidiary under Konami.

One would assume that if Kojima is already influential enough to get a whole studio, even named after himself, he might as well ensure, at least partial, ownership of the properties created by that studio.

These contract negotiations, for the studio's original formation, must have been a really awkward process.

1password used to be the best paid solution out there, and Keepass(in various versions) the best free/OSS version.

These days AgileBits(the 1password people) are doing everything they can to get everyone onto a subscription plan, and are breaking local vaults slowly. Most people don't seem to recommend it anymore.

Now you have other options:

* KeepassXC (the latest seemingly well-recommended keepass variant - but there are a bunch of them)

* Bitwarden (it's OSS and can support author(s) with payment. Can run on your own server/machine while still supporting cross device sync)

* Pass (and the go variant, and the Qt variant) uses GPG under the hood, basically just a directory/git repo full of encrypted text files. Sync across devices is your problem.

I'm seriously evaluating Bitwarden to replace 1Password as it's pretty simple to understand and has a similar strategy as 1Password security wise, but is OSS.
> Imagine the complexity of maintaining the software when every patch must anticipate a fragmented mess of different pieces of patches being installed on target systems.

...why imagine? That's life as a Windows/Linux/Android dev. (Apple is sort of a stand-out because it has vastly fewer installable parts and less versions in the wild such that it's actually possible to test every patch level of every supported version of macOS or iOS at any given time).

But none of that makes push updates right or wrong. The reality is that it's less of a push than it is a pull anyway - in this case the client is asking for updates on an interval, and the server says "yep, there's one for you." The client grabs it and installs it. And it's turned on by default because, for the most part, that's the right thing to do for your users: you'd rather them be on the newest patch level. Hell for IT admins though, which is why it's almost always a feature they can disable at will.

So here's where this case differs: it's an "experiment" that's actually just marketing trash pushed through the "experiments" channel which is also armed by default, rather than a security or product update (which anybody reasonable can argue should be on by default - secure by default is the goal, after all). The only "experiment" in this case is seeing how many users will put up with Mozilla continuing to pimp out Firefox to the highest bidder as a grab for a new revenue stream before they reluctantly switch back to Chrome.

And judging by the backlash on patches like this one, it's not going so well...
Both, they have much less transactions and their block size is 8x larger so they can do 8x more transactions/sec. But still pales in comparison to Visa’s throughput.

> Concrete example: It doesn't have typeclasses.

It's not like type classes are themselves suuuper-principled.

> Being able to interoperate with .NET is a strength, not a weakness.

Being able to interoperate with .NET is a good thing. Letting the .NET object model permeate the whole language's type structure is less of a good thing (to put it mildly). OCaml did the right thing w.r.t. objects: You can use objects if you so wish, but the language doesn't ram them down your throat.
It's a hazy line, but there are clear examples. E.g. robots at Disneyland are projections, other human beings are similar.

It appears to be anthropomorphizing when, for example, an ape learns to associate buttons with spoken words is considered to be "understanding" human language.
There aren't security issues with 1Password really, but there are other issues, mostly around the company AgileBits. From my other comment on this thread:

These days AgileBits(the 1password people) are doing everything they can to get everyone onto a subscription plan, and are breaking local vaults slowly. Most people don't seem to recommend it anymore.

The only security issue really is the online vault(which isn't a security issue per-say, but is a security weakness since your passwords are no longer under your direct control). This may or may not be an issue for you, depending on your security posture.

What’s the worse that can happen?
I can see your point but I don't think it's something that can be boiled down to a quick summary and then dismissed. The idea isn't about an inherent right, it's more about a courtesy of respect towards others no matter how much we disagree with them. The first article isn't demanding it, it's pointing out the lack of it and leaving it as an exercise to the reader to decide the right path forward. In my opinion this is something the government should never enforce, but I am happy to allow other people to voice whatever it is they have to say even if I disagree. I think a good example of this idea in practice is /r/Libertarian on Reddit: it's a community that's very protective of the right to free speech and I would say they largely agree with the first article. The courtesy is extended to others (socialists, fascists, communists, etc.) and their comments appear on most posts. There is no strong desire to censor or even ignore these posts, instead they are often met with well thought-out rebuttals or the agreement to disagree. Though the two people may judge each other based on views, it rarely if ever devolves to name-calling, downvote brigades, or censorship.
For fuck sake. What is this? Is there a precedent for this? Have words been banned like this before? If this is legal, I am completely baffled. If it was the standard list of "7 words", I could understand, but this is nuts.

Waterfox is nonsense, no offense to the people behind it. Removing some stuff from Firefox and calling it a day does not make a better Firefox, it just makes for a preconfigured one. You might as well just run Chromium.

The problem is that Mozilla is a good company, that has had a true net positive effect on the world, especially in tech, and continues to do so today with wonderful projects like Rust etc.

If Mozilla were a shitty company, we could all simply dismiss Firefox and get on with our day. But Mozilla is not a shitty company and the fact they keep shooting themselves in the foot like GP said, the fact they are completely out of touch with their userbase, that they cannot see the OBVIOUS problems with this addon even after the Pocket debacle, is ridiculous.
If your position is righteous and based on facts why would such measures be required? Can someone explain to me how these are actions of well intention and intelligent people?

Bitcoin Cash was a hard fork of Bitcoin to implement Bitcoin's original scaling plan, and original vision to be a "peer-to-peer electronic cash", and includes all account balances from before the hard fork.

You may disagree that it's the real Bitcoin, but it's undoubtedly open to interpretation, and some of its advocates calling it that doesn't justify mislabeling it as bcash.

It implies that Harvey Weinstein should be branded and ostracized. That abusers are rightfully alienated.

Right. You made that statement in response to 'What if your "controversial opinion" harasses and alienates other people?' -- so it follows that you're OK with giving airtime to hateful views even at the expense of chilling others' free speech and/or you don't recognize that this chilling effect is real.

Bitcoin saw exactly the same drop in full nodes when light clients were first released.

Ethereum still has over two times as many full nodes as Bitcoin.

11,415 Bitcoin nodes:

https://bitnodes.earn.com/nodes/

29,805 Ethereum full nodes:

https://www.ethernodes.org/network/1

>>Most people can't even sync a node anymore.

Totally unsubstantiated.

>Bitcoin is about decentralization.

There's more to decentralization than being able to run a full node on your Raspberry Pi with a 128K modem. Like more than 500,000 people in the entire world being able to write to the blockchain with any regularity, which is not possible with a 1 MB limit on the 10-minute blocks (1.67 KB/s throughput limit). With such limited write-access to the Bitcoin blockchain, the vast majority of the world will have to rely on trusted third parties to hold their Bitcoin wealth on their behalf, since it's impossible for the vast majority of the world to have write-access to the Bitcoin blockchain in order to make use of a private key.

I'd rather Ethereum users poll multiple trusted third parties to validate the transaction data they're seeing, and be able to hold their own private keys, and write transactions to the blockchain with those keys, than Ethereum users be able to validate the blockchain trustlessly, but have to trust third parties, acting effectively as banks, to hold their ether.

Techno-optimists created the modern world...

You say you want to shutdown "trolls" but you surely also want to modify the definition of troll on an on-going basis.

The pessimists think they can't win on ideas alone so they resort to using force against the "trolls" to ensure victory. Harassing, deplatforming, doxing, getting them fired, boycotting, etc.

The optimists (see: MLK Jr.) know humans are pretty great and, given sufficient time and information, the good ideas will win eventually.

If you actually care about your society you should be engaging "trolls" and trying to understand them. And you should be trying to convince them they're wrong, if you can. And if you can't, you should look to others that can.

I've lost trust in mozilla when they bundled "Pocket" and people then didn't think much of it.
When you lose ability to control the browser its no longer a fair game. Bundling addons, changing settings, ads and "enhancements" no one asked for, all eroded trust.
Not to mention its aping Chrome more and more each version.
We need more firefox forks, not less. Chrome has dozens, because the privacy threat from google is obvious: firefox hdoesn't have that much forks,because its trusted by distro makers to be safe(but its not, as mozilla just proved).
People are upset when this implicit assumption that Firefox is the only browser(among modern graphical browsers) you can trust is actually false.
