I really don't think its that simple. There's a pricing problem with SaaS products like Tinder which suggests that more people will pay if it is cheaper. And with Tinder Plus, they offer literally nothing different that would cost Tinder much more money; it just allows users to use the app more.

The problem with $20/mo is that its entering exploitation territory. Like a porn site subscription, it exploits chemical and physical addictions intrinsic to humans to derive revenue. You can say the same thing about, say, any addictive service (like Netflix) and you wouldn't be wrong. But at least Netflix prices at cost, not "value", and Tinder is literally playing with a biological drive and interpersonal relationships, not a simple dopamine addiction.
I thought the devs invented Filecoin for exactly that reason - to incentivize people to pin content. They haven't enabled Filecoin for IPFS yet?
Here's one example:

In C++, creating an instance of a class is fantastically complicated. The class must be initialized, and there is a zoo of different initialization forms: value, direct, aggregate, default, list, copy, etc. Which one foo {} invokes has been the subject of a spec bug. Some of these invoke a constructor, which is like a function, but isn't a function, multiplying the number of concepts involved further. Constructors suffer from bizarre syntactic limitations. They need a special syntax for handling exceptions. The form foo f(); famously declares a function instead of default initializing f. The [dcl.init] section of the spec is about 16 pages long and there are about another dozen about how constructors work in the special member functions section.

In Rust, there is exactly one way to create an instance of a struct: you provide a value for each of its fields.
I really don't see why this is international news.

One supermarket chain in France gives a substantial discount on a product that kids love, some people in a few of these stores go nuts, this is then filmed and uploaded to the internet.

What are we to make it of? Depends. My guess is that lot of these people are presumably low-income and aren't always able to buy Nutella for their kids. Or they are, but it's a significant part of their weekly grocery bill. So I suppose it was kind of a big deal in that regard, to be able to buy their kids the real deal instead of generic supermarket brands. (Pretty much the same thing, but try to explain that to little kids). In which case it's all a bit tragic, really. Or maybe that's not it at all and the story is about the lengths to which deal-hunters will go for a few euros. But the news doesn't go into all of this — the report was that people went crazy and fought each other for cheap Nutella across French supermarkets.

In any case, it's odd for such an isolated, specific incident to receive international coverage. This isn't even that interesting to people living in France unless you want to try to understand understand the sociology/economics of it.

How is this anything other than dangerous and stupid?
Yes! You got it right!

Different products with different purposes are priced differently! And just because a product is inexpensive to produce doesn’t mean it’s price has to be low—- especially if a lot of people want it.
I like that characterization of the man: "a threat to the Democratic process". He's gamed the system, similar to the way Julius Caesar gamed elections once upon a time, without regard to the damage he was doing. Its all about him.

He is not a legitimate president; he's a fool that used transparent car-salesman blather to sway an election. Most of those 'millions' have lived to regret their foolishness.

Many democratic processes have recall ability. Now that the majority despise this fool, its time we used such a route to fix this. "Serves no purpose?" What can that possibly mean. Of course it serves the purpose of not having a child in charge of the entire nation.
Same. But they can, too. Be careful.

> Peter Singer's concept of The Expanding Circle is relevant here.

That's a work I can support, definitely.

I don't mean to sound too cynical; it's easy to get caught up in presentism and forget that basic ideas like "what if racism is bad?" and "should we maybe stop doing torture?" are relatively recent.

My concern with Pinker is less that nothing has gotten better, and more that he seems overly rosy about the decline of violence (I worry we've largely displaced it and rendered it intermittent) and that he appears to frame moral progress as some kind of fundamental improvement in the moral nature of humans or society.

I'm much more inclined to Singer's argument, that we're the same semi-moral creatures we've always been, but have done steadily better at acknowledging the moral weight of groups other than our own.
I tried the same thing and my biggest problem with iOS is that it feels like you can't cancel most animations. They take forever and you have to wait for them to finish either for it to actually allow you to continue or to be able to reliably hit the next target. It just felt so much slower than Android.
If I understand it correctly, it is decentralized. When pages are accessed they are automatically copied and hosted by nodes. Eventually, garbage collection will delete the copy. Pinning prevents it from being deleted so that the node hosts it permanently.
Recruiters are there because they are useful. Yes, not all recruiters are scum and low life bottom feeders that we love to hate.

To answer your question, systems are just systems. They can never replace the human element which is required when dealing with people. Hiring is a friggin tough job and I can totally see the value of "good" recruiters now that I have been looking to hire people even though I am too small to hire recruiters yet.

Good recruiters can do the initial "human" filtering of connecting the hiring team/manager with better candidates. Online Systems cannot yet do that. Most online systems can be rigged with Bullshit Resumes and there is no way to tell unless you talk to the candidate. Good recruiters can separate the wheat from chaff before it gets to the hiring manager.
Well we do know part of the answer. The 3x Active 10 is better than 10k. I do not have a problem with the results, but with the fact that search for "how little can one move and still remain somewhat healthy" is a thing.
That's an interesting approach but it seems invalid for Office. The have thousands (!) of features. Going through the old menus wasn't much help. More than that, they're actually exposing more functionality through the Ribbon. For the truly hidden commands, they have the Options menu, under the Office icon.
I think that one reason the convolutions are in the basic things was the principle that C++ should be a superset of C, which is nominally a value-semantics language, but which, with the use of pointers, very commonly (and intentionally) leads to code with aspects of reference semantics. One example of this is that C++ adopted The C practice in which arrays decay to pointers.

In addition, C++ not only inherited C's static-typing rules, but strengthened them, and complicated them with inheritance (multiple, and polymorphic or not, according to your needs), function overloads and operator overloading. Now add generic types through templates, and the cases to be handled explodes to the point where you need a Turing-complete parser.

A good case can be made for each of C++'s features individually, which leads to justifications of the form "As we want both X and Y (and without sacrificing run-time efficiency), then there really isn't any alternative to [insert counter-intuitive issue here]..."

That it works at all is a testament to the skill of the people involved. The complications that remain seem qualitatively different than the sort of gratuitous inconsistencies that you find in PHP, for example.
>But at least Netflix prices at cost

This must explain their terrible earnings and stock performance over the past decade or so.
The cost of media services isn't mostly infrastructure; its licensing. When you play a song, they have to pay a certain amount to the rights holders. So they need to figure out the average listening habits across all their listeners then price their subscriptions so that they can pay licensing fees and make profit.

Tinder has no licensing to pay.

I don't think it has to be sustainable. They just need more time for EPYC to really take off and for Ryzen to continue gaining market share.

Yep, of course. And there's definitely a lower bar of a school pedigree than Harvard to get into a great company or great postgrad or whatever.

Not had any use for recruiters at all. Neither have my Engineering progeny. Sure they contact us all the time, but have yet to produce anything of value. I imagine they can; I see they continue to be paid. But as experienced Engineers, we get only bottom-feeding job spam from them.

Thanks. However "z" is also not really a clear sound, right? "ds" or "ssss" or "tsss". Naturally I would interpret "zigh" very similar to "sigh" but since "sigh" is a real thing I think there is a reason why you write "zigh" instead.

Anyway each hint is helpful. I'll google for that.
Oh I'm not that young, haha.

I had these stores in my childhood, till I was 16 or something.

My mother even worked in one when I was smaller. They had billiard tables, snacks and stuff there.

I always rented games for PSX back then, because one would cost 30-40€ and I was a poor child, hehe.

Well, the stores were kinda like you said when I was in my teens, but it seemed to me that not so many people were renting anymore. And yes they had the expensive games, which was good for poor children, but the movies weren't 100€ a VHS for long time anymore, so most people probably simply bought them.

Not all - I'd say that probably 80% of them are only allowed to show the banner with no sound or vibrate. Perfect example just arrived - Patreon. Handy to see the banner/lock screen because it's normally a new video to watch but it's nowhere near important enough to distract me.
There already is one when app-switching. So in the example described, the writer would have ended up in Mail, and could then hit the upper-left corners to get back to Notes immediately. Not even two seconds. Not even one second.
Philosophy today is one of the most undervalued discipline. It doesn't yield any return on investment immediately and is mostly confusing at the beginning, so people don't tend to have interest in it.

I think we have some sort global identity crisis because of that. Religions are not sufficient enough and science doesn't even try to answer the question of "why?" but rather "how?". In result of that, we ended up with no ideology and no tools to build one for ourselves.

This is laughably ironic, because we really want some change in the way we live and think and yet, we don't turn back and evaluate what people came out with in the history.

I love the Office UI/UX. My only complaint is with cloud integrations it defaults the save dialog to onedrive or whatever, which I never use. But otherwise what problems do you have with it? The breadth of tools/options is incredible. The ease of use of many of them is on point. The only reason I prefer MS Office over Libre is because of the UI honestly. I would rather use Libre but I can never find what I'm trying to do.

One of my biggest complaints about the games I play is the level of dice rolling for even tasks that your character should be perfectly competent in. To me, it breaks the immersion of, say, heroic-level skills in sneakiness when some random untrained person always has a chance of noticing you. I think some of the later versions of D&D "fixed" this with mechanisms like taking 10 and such, but as long as 20 is always an automatic success, that's a 5% chance of failure all the time.

Is this something that FATE fixes? If so, I'll have to look into it!
