I'm not sure you realise this but that might have been the main reason Amiga got successful in the first place. When my friends bought computers they selected the one where they had easy access to free games. I bought an Atari while they still bought c-64 because copying tapes and discs from other users was easy. I learned programming since there was nothing else to do :-)
Thanks for the suggestion! Yeah, we did consider that but we felt that it would lead to the paradox of choice; where choice overload could harm the overall usability and enjoyment of the app.

We overall prefer the subscription model that gives you unlimited access to the entire library, like Netflix and Headspace, then the pick and choose method of traditional cable companies.

I appreciate the idea tho, we will continually add more packs to hopefully provide greater and greater value. You are also able to suggest new packs and we'll add the most popular!

100% sure. Like your source says, it's a partnership between the CIA and the private sector.

"Close" does not mean part of the organisation. The founder Norman R. Augustine isn't even a CIA person. It is somewhat similar to a spinned-off company which runs independently but has tight connections (and a contract, in case of In-Q-Tel) with the organization that spinned it off.

* In-Q-Tel (theoretically) may have other contracts and major partnerships.

* In-Q-Tel gets to pick who they invest into; CIA may express interest in a particular area or a company but In-Q-Tel manage their portfolios.

* While In-Q-Tel is non-profit, the profits flow back and the employees may profit from it. Meaning, while part of the funds come from the CIA (taxpayers), part come from the past profits.

No, but there is a "not this shit again" attitude. Over the last 50 years it has been done. Most of the time people with a new syntax also have stupid names for already agreed upon constructs and ideas. Those people are trying too hard to be different. Maybe one language uses ->, another uses =>, so Joe Language programmer is going to use <!@==>>>. But no one is going to type <!@==>>>, so the language fails. Joe exits programming and there are 10,000 dead computer languages with worthless syntax that didn't help people write software better.

When I was young I had reoccurring dreams for a few months about a domestic violence issue. Years later after my parents had passed, the stories started to come out.

I often want to set a timer for exactly 50 minutes so I know when my laundry is done.

But siri always interprets "Fifty" as "Fifteen". Pretty much every single time, it always makes the same mistake, no matter how clearly or slowly I try to pronounce it. I have to say "Hey Siri, set a timer for five zero minutes" to get it to pick it up accurately.

RetroManCave on YouTube had an interesting video recently that investigated the performance and capabilities of running a Mac emulator on an Amiga vs. a real 68k Mac, and which actually was faster:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jph0gxzL3UI

Very impressive stuff. Being able to run Mac software would mean access to Photoshop, Illustrator, QuarkXpress, Framemaker, Microsoft Word and Excel and other business/DTP software that unfortunately wasn't really available natively on Amiga.

I suspect lots of people used Mac emulators to make their Amiga a viable school/work machine, in addition to all the creative fun and games the native platform afforded.

> I'm seeing Linux slowly take over on workstations, both at home and at the office.

My observation is more and more people are trying linux, probably because of Win10 stuff. But they all say they don't like it, and go back to Win or to Mac. I heard yesterday one diehard linux fan pondering going to Mac ... If Apple did not let quality slide they would have be the windows-replacement, but we are stuck with 2 bad options and one funny-bad one. And Windows is still the most convenient and easiest, even if only because of history and inertia.
The problem is that kids these days like adults play with digital toys in cyberverse aka videogames and their imaginations while Toys-R-Us just sold cheap plastic stuff in catdboard boxes. Last time I went there trying to shop their videogame selection was disorganized, it was unclear what systems they had in stock and the games that were in stock were random.

Toys in our youth were well-marketed phenomens that everyone had to have and a store could consistently profit off of by having them in stock. How do you stock Minecraft mods ? There are also still lots of physical toys, probably too many of them considering how often they are made to be disposable and prolific.
Humanity lived for a while without toy stores, and I think many children never experienced any. I personally always felt these were too big and creating envy and frustration in children, cause of course they'll want everything in them.
That $10B is a high number, certainly, but it's historically high. It's worth keeping context in mind here: this profit is earned on 446B passenger miles. Every time you fly a mile on AA, they profit a whopping 2.2 cents, and that's in historically good years. Even on a 7000 mile long-haul, that's just over $150 average per passenger. Devil's advocate says that smaller legroom is the reason they can turn a profit at all.

I think that qualifies as low margin.

I think the term outdated is a bit strong, does it still perform its intended function at the same acceptable level? Then it is hardly outdated. this applies to first generation items as well as those that follows. there are cases where first generation is so badly implemented that only the following can make a product deliver on its promises but that is really a different issue.

For me the term seems to be one of those which got twisted by marketing types to mean something wholly different to encourage this buy the new model mentality.

Summary

There is increasing concern that most current published research findings are false. The probability that a research claim is true may depend on study power and bias, the number of other studies on the same question, and, importantly, the ratio of true to no relationships among the relationships probed in each scientific field. In this framework, a research finding is less likely to be true when the studies conducted in a field are smaller; when effect sizes are smaller; when there is a greater number and lesser preselection of tested relationships; where there is greater flexibility in designs, definitions, outcomes, and analytical modes; when there is greater financial and other interest and prejudice; and when more teams are involved in a scientific field in chase of statistical significance. Simulations show that for most study designs and settings, it is more likely for a research claim to be false than true. Moreover, for many current scientific fields, claimed research findings may often be simply accurate measures of the prevailing bias. In this essay, I discuss the implications of these problems for the conduct and interpretation of research.

For me it was "How to learn more" with a fair bit of "how to work with others" and a lot of the theory.

The how to learn bit is (and has been, for the last 20 years for me) massively helpful. It's rare that I think back to a particular thing I learned about (it still happens though), but I cherish knowing how to move from one subject to another when trying to work out how I should solve something and where I should look next.

7.5h a day(+30 minute mandatory lunch) - I very rarely work more than that. The only time when I had to work overtime was a week before lunch and even then I averaged 9h/day for that week. It probably helps that the company I work at is constantly trying to combat overtime as something that is a sign of things going wrong - so as soon as people start staying longer than 7.5h a day their workload is reevaluated and either scope is reduced or more people jump to help.

I think the problem boils down to how to take meaningful action without confidence.

E.g., if I admit that, not only am I not confident, but I see the world as so complex that I can't be possibly confident about it, how can I decide what to do?

If my view of the world is correct than my actions would at best have unpredictable results and at worst would be reckless. So the best course of action would be not to do anything.

However, would strip me of all agency and any ability to do anything about things in the world I see as problematic.
Couple more I also use all the time:

- Alarms “set alarm 10am” “set alarm in 2 hours 1 minute about eBay” (you can have as many of these as you want, separate from timer)

- app switching “launch deliveries” “launch mail” “open Safari”
I suspect things would have gone differently if Github supported Mercurial.

Also Git is now more or less locked in to terrible naming for its actions - yes they could be renamed but that would probably cause more issues than its worth. And Mercurial isn't dead yet - Facebook uses it and they're rewriting it in Rust (yeah yeah) to make it faster. I don't think the VCS wars are over yet.
I'm right with you. I have an Omega Speedmaster I bought used 12 years ago (can't remember how old it was then).

It's a mechanical, manually wound watch. Its movement was quite an old and inaccurate design even by mechanical watch standards. That is it does not meet official chronometer standards.

I've worn it almost every day since I first got it. I really enjoy wearing it for all sorts of reasons unrelated to its basic function that I'm not sure I can articulate in any form of convincing argument other than "Well, I like it anyway".
Yeah that's not an excuse though. It could easily have been user-friendly on the surface too!

By far the best toy store in our hometown is a 30-yr old store that sells mainly wooden toys, board games, kites and nice dolls. They've survived and even improved in recent years, while the big toy stores merge and get less numerous. That's awesome and I happily applaud being part of that as a customer.

Every play toy should last multiple children as a rule. We don't take that to the extreme as parents, but the basic rule is sound. Even children like it that their cousins play with the same toys they've played with when younger. Buy good stuff. Share. Bye bye Toys R Us.
