The business model of consoles is selling hardware at discounted price which is not profitable, then selling games at a premium price. All the game sales give a cut to the console company.

This only works if there isn't a lot of piracy or 3rd party content.

If consoles were an open platform, they would have to raise the price of the console itself. Very few would pay $1000 for a console.
The solution is to use an ad block that clicks all the ads, like Ad Nauseum. Then I'm happy and the publisher is happy.

Yeah but PC gamers are a different breed, and typically know what they're doing way more than the console market (generally speaking)..

Consoles are more of a known quantity, and "Sony", "Microsoft" or "Nintendo" on the hardware box represents a seal of quality (up to a point), both with the hardware and the software that will run on it.

This gives uninformed buyers (i.e. grandma - just to stick with a known stereotype) confidence that they're not buying something awful for their grandchild.

Before the pedants jump in, I know this is an over-simplification and there are bad games on consoles, yes yes..

But that's the general idea.. It's like the Apple App Store (minus the sheer volume of available software), it's a walled garden so there's an implied level of review and quality that is supposed to give consumers some confidence about the products, both hardware and software.

Also, less now than before, hardware manufacturers don't make money on the machines, they make money on the licensing for the software.

Console makers aren't interested in making devices that sell at super thin margins and provide zero incremental revenue because they get bought by a homebrew crowd that won't buy into the ecosystem.
Usually I do AirBnb which is much cheaper but on rare occasions hotels are the best options.

If I plan to stay 6 months+, I will get a lease, but it's sometimes tricky depending on the country.
I definitely agree, even just looking at my past. I have had financial support for projects that went nowhere because I had no idea what I was doing.

But, on the other side of that, if financing is not available at the right time a business can fall apart pretty quickly. If employees are not paid, they quickly look for other work. Machinery falls apart if not maintained. There needs to be a reliable source of capital for any business to succeed.

It is up to the business owner to take out loans and allocate those resources responsibly.

> And I'm sorry, but 25 year olds are not "young and impressionable" any more, so I don't buy that defense.

I'll say this because it fits the demographic here on HN, but have you ever met mid-20-something techies in the bay area? My experience has been that many of them are still very impressionable. Being technically an adult doesn't magically make you immune to being impressionable.

Remember the state of being impressionable is about a lack of critical thinking. Given what we've seen with the recent election, it seems very plausible that many adults lack critical thinking. No?

Looking at this more objectively - 1 out of 4 college football players drops out of school and doesn't finish their degree. Also, more objectively, at the age of 25, you're only a third of the way through your expected life (~78). So, yes these people are still considered "young".
I take a structuralist [1] approach to reading. The primary value I get from reading a book is how it helps me understand other things I have read and other things I will read. The internet helps because I can google facts, even many of the facts I am reading. What I cannot google is the way the ideas in one book illuminate things I have already read.

Now it is worth mentioning that I am not in school (which does not mean I am not learning). So there is no test on the book in two to twelve weeks. It is also worth mentioning that the quantity and type of reading I do varies and how long I spend reading a book also varies from a day and into the night to years...I reread books too, and perhaps one of my criteria for what I read is "Is this worth rereading."

Implicit in your question are two conflicting goals: making time to read and not making time to read by reading faster and more effectively. Nobody asks, how do I make love effectively and faster? Well maybe an engineer, but that's another story.

Good luck.

But seriously, in the 3DS world, they've been going back and forth with hackers for a long time. There are a lot of updates for that system:

Any time you see "Further improvements to overall system stability and other minor adjustments have been made to enhance the user experience," it's them closing an exploit vector. That would be a lot of fuses to blow.

I wonder how many of these systems have secure enclaves and some ability to have a WORM-style hardware incrementer. The SoC version of an odometer.

That could easily just be a different link, like the "Forgot password" link, presented at the main login page. You wouldn't interact with it normally, and thus it'd never interrupt your typical logon flow, but it'd be there when you need it.

I'm still not really sure what purpose this two-step login is solving, though, as typically every time I use an SSO it's by clicking on a button like "Log in through Facebook" or "Log in through Google", before I'm ever even asked to enter a username. Why do they need to know the username? They'll know that when I log in using the SSO provider.

The sad truth: nobody cares. There won't be an uproar. There are/were countless blog entries on how your data is abused, and nobody cares. _Oh, look, a site where I can showcase my vanity and have followers like some kind of celebrity!_ - this is the reality.

I'd love to make people realize how bad it is. I'd really want to know where are the people who donated enough to the Mozilla foundation to supports a 2-page ad in the New York Times in print for Firefox back in 2004. I'd really like to know what makes people listen, but I honesty have no idea.
I think supposably is a valid word and makes sense in this context.

The meaning overlaps a lot with supposedly, which is much more-commonly used, so it sounds a bit odd.
Totally agree, but the chance of that happening is pretty low. There isn't perceived to be a problem in that area at the moment that Governments worldwide really need to fix.

To the copyright point. Standard copyright will still apply to all the works produced (which is what, 75 years after last publication) but considering that Video games as a somewhat mainstream endeavor is only at absolute best 40-50 years old, were unlikely to get a test of that any time soon, and thats before republication through virtual console and GOG may actually constitute a refresh on the copyright period.

I think its more likely that consumer pressure to do an ID style of things whereby they opensource their older stuff is the likely fix to our problems.
> Why do console manufacturers put so much effort into preventing unvetted code from running on their hardware?

Piracy is the most enduring reason.

Second, regular players should expect a level field when playing online multiplayer - so no risk of battling against someone with modded software.

Beyond that, supporting software and hardware failures is easier if you can assume everyone is running on a stock platform.
This reminds me of the time a few friends and I were playing a modded minecraft server and destroyed the market and entered into a post scarcity economy. The mods were different, but we took over so fast that every admin on the server was investigating us for hacking (eventually we were cleared).

The server we were on was much smaller, and while there was an economy, it was never to the point that B would buy from A just to resell at a higher price than A was selling.

One game that fascinates me with its economy is Path of Exile. It tried to do away with gold, and in doing so gave evidence that there will always be some sort of currency. Granted, I think this was already shown in Diablo 2 when, because of the gold cap being far below the value of the best items, a second organic currency economy was born trading in runes (I think it was runes, its been a long time).

You made a claim. If you can't back up that claim with some basic evidence, we tend to call that claim "bullshit".

Agreed. It's very difficult and definitely a learned skill to even be able to tell why or how your body/mind feels different day to day. You always feel the big things "I feel great!" "I feel like shit." but really digging down into "I am slightly annoyed right now" or "I am frustrated and cannot focus" is more nuanced.

As I have grown older and have been fortunate enough to increase stability in my life I have had more time to focus on my own health and state of mind. Only recently have I began to realize what is going on and possible causes (dehydration, lack of sleep, overtraining, etc). This is just happening now after two years of consistent (3-6 days a week) training (brazilian jiu jitsu, rock climbing, or powerlifting)

Understanding Growth (2016)
Yes, contractors are not full-time employees. So what? That's not at issue here. In this context, we're specifically talking about the number of jobs that are created by tech companies. It doesn't matter if you're paid on a W-2 or a 1099 from the tech company directly, or on a W-2 or a 1099 from some contracted company; if your living is being derived from working for that company in some capacity, it counts as a job created.
Thanks for pointing this out! I've been only doing strength training for the last year and been wondering why I haven't felt as sharp as when I ran somewhat regularly.
Same here, and I’m not an engineer or CS. uMatrix is IMO something a bright child could work out through trial and error.
Classical computers take a polynomial amount of time (in key size) to perform RSA but exponential amount of time (in key size) to break RSA. Quantum computers can break RSA in polynomial time.

For classical systems, the cost to break RSA grows much faster than the cost to perform it, so we can always outpace more powerful adversaries with a less powerful computer. This is not true for quantum machines. I cannot produce a key size that will be small enough that I can work with it but large enough that it is secure against attack.
Agreed. Half the value IMO is in the UI. A smartphone is an awful user experience with gloved hands, and demands your attention while a good radio mostly gets out of the way. Radios using a LTE-based dedicated network like they mentioned might be fine, but at that point we've really just changed the operating frequency.
Yes, significantly. One of the biggest draws of football, for better or worst, is the tackling. People watch to see the big hit and the great escapes to evade the tackling. Here is just a single example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s8geJp5mVLA

If the game used flags, the quarterback would have almost certainly been down. Instead he runs for a first down and keeps his offense on the field.

This is interesting. I am planning to start doing consulting into the analytics industry and started a blog 6 months ago. So far, just by adding a "free call" page and writing few blog posts, I got a couple of leads. It's not much, but it's encouraging. I am now in the process of writing an ebook which I will sell for $100 or so and see what happens there. I do plan to test online ads for the ebook. The idea would be to use the ebook to build a customer base for consulting, let's see. Writing an ebook it's not easy, but it is helping me a lot to better understand my potential customers and define my consulting product a bit more.
Ask HN: Did you ever resign from a company on your first day?
I have had an offer from a company in Berlin, Germany around two months ago which I accepted and have had to join next month. I have got a better (much better in terms of salary, relocation benefits, tech stack etc) offer from another company in the same city and I want to accept that. Now a part of me is telling me that I should stick to what I accepted before and it would be wrong if I tell them that I am not coming and the other part of me is telling me that I will not be happy there both from the work that I will be doing and the other monetary benefits and so wants me to accept the second offer.

I am confused now that whether I should join them or accept the other offer. Did you ever had a situation like this, did you ever resign from a company on your first day?

Why? To me this is no different than a person who is against mass murder being okay with multiplayer first person shooters.

The consequences don't impact real life, you can leave at any time, and in most cases it is very simple to recover, even if not fully.

I think the real interesting morality starts happening when it does impact real life. For example, someone in a poor country farming items to sell on the black market as a way to make real life currency they need to live. I've read about (though am not really sure about the authenticity) of gold farmers in places like Venezuela doing this to survive.

What happens when killing and looting someone in a game actually costs them a meal in real life (even if the real money trading is banned, a rule is only as good as it is enforced)?
>When you make housing for the homeless dependent on being sober and clean, just what, exactly, do you expect as an outcome if not that?

Note my use of the word "unmanaged". It's possible to house people with active substance abuse problems, but it's considerably more challenging, particularly heavy drinkers and crack users. There is a significant impact in terms of care because you're dealing with people who have a limited capacity to look after themselves, but the primary impediment is aggression and violence. It only takes one difficult resident to turn the whole facility into bedlam, at which point you're faced with few options other than evicting them for the sake of the other residents.

Wet houses do exist, but they're a lot more expensive to run and they face far more local opposition. They're a fundamentally good idea, but housing alcoholics and other difficult-to-house groups is a lot more complex than just "open more shelters". You need a highly skilled multidisciplinary team to make it work, and you're still going to have some amount of unavoidable rough sleeping.

If you still don't see where I'm coming from, imagine a crack addict with diagnosed antisocial personality disorder. Imagine someone who has been arrested multiple times for assaulting medical staff and police officers. Imagine someone whose life revolves around multi-day crack binges, which usually end in an episode of drug-induced psychosis and either an ER visit or an arrest. These people are not exceptional in the population of chronic rough sleepers, but they're exceptionally difficult to house.
That paper is about a different concept only loosely related to what DavidBuchanan seems to be talking about.

Maybe it's from this link on Daring Fireball? [1] A wipe and reinstall via iTunes is also an extremely painful process. Since the ability to transfer apps from iOS to iTunes was removed long ago (for reasons — like App Thinning — that don't make any sense to me), once the reinstall and restore of the data (alone) from iTunes is done, one would have to wait a long time for all the apps to download via WiFi from the App Store. For people with many apps and games (that are quite large), this wipe and reinstall would cost them several GBs in download traffic and several minutes to several hours (depending on where one lives and the Internet connection).

You beat me to it, but I was going to mention LS too.

Imaging you start off with Safari being unable to connect to anything. Little Snitch is running in Alert Mode and it asks you to decide on every outbound network connection. You visit Facebook. LS asks if Safari can talk to facebook.com on port 443. You say "yes, always". What about "server893.ads.facebook.com:443"? You say "make that .ads.facebook.com and block it forever". Do this through the few dozen prompts you'll get on this first visit when you visit a resource-heavy domain. Now hit reload and pick up a few more (like maybe this time you'll get a connection to a video CDN that you didn't see last time). Repeat until the requests taper off to nothing.

Now put Little Snitch into "Silent Deny" mode and enjoy your Safari that can only view ad-free Facebook.

Note: I don't really recommend doing this because I'd rather be doing almost literally anything else, but if I had to set up a social media kiosk for a relative, that's how I'd go about it.

I do highly enjoy telling Little Snitch to deny connections to all the non-port-80/443 ad trackers. I can't imagine a single legitimate reason why I'd want Safari to connect to moatads.com:843.
That's the prerequisite for every loan. No one is loaning anyone money with the expectation that they're going to lose money on it. The expected value of a loan from the issuer's point of view is always positive. Around these parts, that's often because, even though the chance of losing it all is 99%, there's a 1% chance of making it back 1000X (to use an example). We're talking about profit to the issuer here, which in VC usually comes from selling the company at a greater amount later even if the company itself isn't yet profitable.

That doesn't apply to lending money to money-losing small businesses. There's no small chance of making a much larger return than what you lent. The risk is still high for such a loan, but without the possibility of a much greater return. The interest on that loan is what it is; it's not like you're buying ownership in a company like with typical VC equity.

No, reset from ios. I'm not aware of a difference with doing it from iTunes, either way you get an empty ios that first asks you the os language you want.
