Not just this, but the other mystifying bit is that titles had to be repurchased for different types of devices. Not only did you have to physically migrate your games between consoles, but like, virtual console titles might be available for both 3DS and Wii platforms, but you'd have to buy them separately on each. And the Switch doesn't have "virtual console" persay yet, but will sell some legacy titles, like the new Donkey Kong release under the "arcade archives" label.

In most other companies, like Steam, Xbox, PlayStation, etc., if you buy a title, you can play it on any platform that supports it. The fact that Nintendo players can't accumulate a library of legacy Nintendo titles and play them on any Nintendo console they port it to demonstrates Nintendo has a strong interest in repackaging and reselling the same games over and over again.

Problem is, plastics are entirely a byproduct of the hugely dominant petrochemical industrial complex (sibling of Big Oil). Bioplastics exist, but the reason we use so much plastic instead of glass/paper is because it's cheap because it's actually a waste product of oil refinement.

Realistically, yes, it's poisonous (so are the superfund-sites-to-be we call gas stations, not to mention the offshore rigs, refinery sites, etc) but Big Oil is super powerful.

Is there any likelihood any of that changes?

$100k of South Dakota revenue is either an almost exclusively local single-owner business or a much larger internet shop.

But regardless, that kind of number is a full time job. If you're selling over the internet and making a full time job out of it, you can handle computing sales tax for SD residents. Yes, it's burdensome. Yes, it would be good to have a simpler federal framework for this. No, it's not the end of the world.

"No tax on the internet" sort of made sense in 1997 when it was a new and exciting market and we wanted to see what would happen. Now, it's just a giant subsidy for Amazon. We can put that money to better uses.

I think the GSM they resell is T-Mobile but I think it's nice to have that abstraction because I would imagine if T-Mobile suddenly tanked or something they would figure out something else on the backend
There is a big problem: the infrastructure needed for good public transport is increasingly nontrivial, especially in the larger European cities, which tend to be older cities with historic centres which they wish to preserve. It's all well and good to build a city from the ground up in a way that's PT friendly, but if you have a channel city, or one with a densely populated and vitised historic centre, it's immensely hard to be able to have a well-regulated and up to snuff public transport.

Some anecdota: the netherlands has an excellent public transport networks. Our busiest train station, Utrecht Central station, has over a hundred million passengers going through it each year. To put that into perspective: there are roughly 17 million people in the Netherlands. To put that into further perspective: utrecht has 330K inhabitants. Over 5 times the entire population of the entire country is going through that station each year, and over three hundred times the entire population of the city the train station is in. I'm stunned daily by how little delays we have.

However: the Uithof, the (mostly) STEM part of the Utrecht University's campus, is pretty big by Dutch standards. Most of them use the public transport to get there. There are roughly 35K people using public transport to travel to the Uithof each day, with an estimated 45K in 2020. There are a little over 2 double-bendy busses going to the Uithof from the Central station each minute during rush hour. Each double-bendy bus can, according to the specs [1], carry 150 people. A friend of mine who still goes to the Uithof daily using these busses told me that if he has to get there during rush hour, or leave during rush hour, will often have to wait anywhere from 30 to 45 minutes until there's space for him on a bus.

To combat this, the goverment is spending 440 million euros to build a tram line from Central station to the Uithof, and it's still not sure that this will be enough.

I'd consider user definable entities a problem, as you can't read a file without knowing the DTD. Million laughs is just a very ugly bonus.

XML is more than the part inherited from SGML, it's also the XML culture surrounding it. Namespaces are an example of something that created an XML dialect. And of course SOAP, which actually needs the WS-I standard to explain what parts of the WS-* standards to use or ignore, and how to interprete them. And even then 2 WS-I stacks will rarely interop without trouble. Lets not blame SGML for that monstrosity

So the rest of us get to pay your expensive emergency room rates if you get "unlucky". I note that most of us will be unlucky in that way at some point in our lives.

It may work out accounting wise in the short term, individual sense, but that we can't work out a much less expensive, socially carried method like other developed nations is a crying shame.
I agree with you, but that isn't the point.

The point is, "Stick it in the SAP 500" would have been a losing proposition. You would have lost 20% of your money, and lost 10 years of opportunity cost to boot.

Dunno, inappropriate relationships (especially when combined with "me too") are right now a complete career suicide/murder. Incompetent CEOs have a higher chance of ending up as CEOs somewhere else; Brian was also CEO of a long-time #1, so there are quite a few achievements under his belt. Without his demos I personally wouldn't be running multiple NUCs and having Intel Jimmy walking/talking at home.

I am more worried that the type of ousting (past inappropriate relationship, i.e. likely a few years back) signalizes a new level of sociopathy at the top, bringing a ruthless dark age to Intel, full of internal dissection and agony. I assume the investors/shareholders that had Intel as one of their crown jewels and golden geese are getting very nervous about losing profit and are throwing away any resemblance of humanness, acting as spoiled children, grabbing whatever they could.
The other junk can be recyclables as well - glass for example.

I don't think it's wild Silicon Valley chatter to say that public transportation along fixed routes WILL decline as a result of new technology, and this is a great thing.

Fixed-route 19th-20th century public transportation networks are inefficient because most of the vehicles are pretty empty most of the time. This makes these systems expensive on a passenger-per-seat-mile basis. Not to mention the colossal waste of people's time spent trying to accommodate their journeys to those fixed routes (and schedules).

Example: LA's Metro system is subsidized to the tune of about 50 cents per passenger seat/mile, or was as of 2009 (http://www.newgeography.com/content/002361-los-angeles-metro...)

In 10-15 years, transport companies like Lyft/Uber/Didi will be able to offer municipalities a much better deal than that. An electric car or van without a driver in it, with an operating lifetime of a million miles, will cost on the order of 20-40 cents a mile to run. Get 3-8 paying customers into the vehicle, and there is absolutely no need for a 50 cent per passenger seat mile subsidy.
There's a strange thing about that. I enjoy traveling and living in developing nations. Food safety organizations and inspections are basically nonexistent. And in a decade I've gotten food poisoning exactly once - no hospital visit even then. It's anecdotal, but it's also very typical among other expats. People that make their living selling food generally know how to cook and enjoy it! And they also know full well what happens when they serve bad food. Think about the places you eat at. There's going to be a handful of places you eat at, over and over again. And this is also typical. Serve bad food just once, and a business stands to lose immensely. They're going to not only permanently lose that customer but also deal with all the terrible word of mouth that they will spread.

And in the end the biggest risk of food poisoning is often not from the food itself, but from unclean handling of the food. And all the FDA rules and regulations in the world don't mean a thing when a disinterested minimum wage worker chooses to not wash her hands after a bathroom visit, or just keeps on prepping after sneezing on the produce. The one time I got food poisoning was not from one of the literally thousands of dishes I've ordered from street vendors, but from a western-targeted chain restaurant. Instead of having the business owner being the person prepping the food, it was our low wage disinterested worker -- same story as the times I've gotten food poisoning in the US.

This video [1] just makes our whole system of food safety regulation seem so backwards, at Berkeley no less. Not an appeal to pathos, but an appeal to logos. We're treating people like shit and deterring entrepreneurship for the sake of enforcing these rules and regulations which don't really have such a major benefit as we might believe. It's an undesirable cost:reward ratio.

If you do business nationally, with a million in revenue, $100k for South Dakota might not seem too bad, but $100k for California or Texas starts to feel really claustrophobic.

It's an interesting precedent.
The kids of the better off have more debt because they can afford to take it on in the first place. Those from worse families financially are likely more avoidant of debt.
All of the major Cell providers in the US (Verizon, AT&T, T-Mobile and Sprint) do this sort of crap to different degrees.

AT&T and Verizon have the most money so they do it the most.

If you want to use something a little less ... tainted, you can look into MVNOs. They buy bulk service from the major carriers and sell it to you at a reduced cost (with usually fewer "benefits").

Be sure to look to who actually owns the MVNO though. I know, for example, that AT&T owns Cricket and T-Mobile owns MetroPCS.

California may lose the whole clout of its tech economy if people have to bail to localities with municipal internet service just to be able to do business. Ultimately that would leave ATT with far fewer customers in California as you have a tiny pool of wealthy and a massive pool of homeless who are completely off the grid who have no ATT service whatsoever. They don't see the connection between a healthy middle class, the need for solid web for business and their own business health as being a part of an interlocking ecosystem.
It brings something philosophical to mind, if something is truly preserved if you leave only the facade. Surely in buildings and other things alike, the whole influences the surface.

The empty facade is a dead husk.
That's hilariously ironic because China is the biggest exporter of plastics.

1.) China: $17.9B (24.7% of exported plastic items)

2.) Germany $9B (12.4%)

http://www.worldstopexports.com/plastic-item-exports-country...

plastics are now drowning the ocean, choking fishes (which the Chinese fisherman has a habit of overfishing, even going out to other countries' sea to fish). not to mention coral diseases, as well as microfibers ingested by humans. And China just dump plastics into their rivers and out into the ocean. letting the other countries take care of them.

Also, interestingly, China's boom in the early 90s came from the fact that they lacked materials, and they had to take other countries waste in order to use the waste for materials for production. Now that China's boycotting waste, the other southeast asian countries are picking up the slack (and waste), and growing their own industrial capabilities. That's why now manufacturers usually have two or three different factories in different countries, lessening dependence on China, and ready to switch when they need to (like the impending $400 billion tariff on China)
Because it's worthless.

Because it contaminates everything else, making it much harder to recycle the other items.

Because there's no reason to recycle it, the planet is made of it, we're not going to run out, and it's impossible to waste it.

Do you know what they do with recycled glass right now? They crush it, and use it as a landfill cover (instead of sand). There's little point in spending all that effort to do that.
It certainly increases the size of their influence.

Someone noted (vedtopkar) these are "HHV-6 and HHV-7, which cause roseola". Note that it's an incredibly common infection in babies.

There's also another study investigating association between HHV-6 and measles virus serology and brain antibody in autism:

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/9756729

Reading these studies makes me think an ineffective blood-brain barrier or a brain-specific defence might trigger common viruses to present a wider family of brain-related diseases.

We also know there is literature on encephalitis caused by both HHV-6 and measles. I'm speculating that even in a micro, benign form, this condition is enough the shake brain structure.

We should probably investigate a more complex but more generic model of brain diseases.

On top of what you just said, a new console generation will be started (probably) in 2020. That means that both Sony and Microsoft's console hardware sales will reset to zero. If you're looking to buy the next console, will you picking up the platform that locks you into playing only with people on one platform or the platform that allows you to play with everyone? Many people will be buy the next Playstation for the exclusives yes, but Sony's walled garden will give some new buyers a pause.

Sony isn't thinking long term. Either that, or they mistakingly believe that they're crushing the competition due to their business strategy, instead of Microsoft and Nintendo both shooting themselves in the foot. Microsoft will not be making their 2013 mistakes again during the next hardware launch.
LibreOffice. Writer is a competent word processor that does everything you expect it to the way you expect it to. It even has a navigation pane. Nice! Ditto for Impress. Draw is simply better than Visio. Visio was good until the latest version, which as far as I and my colleagues are concerned is simply unusable. Even though we're an MSOffice Fortune 200 enterprise there are a lot of people here downloading LibreOffice just for Draw. Incredible.

Gimp is another well-known tool I use somewhat frequently. I'm not a graphics designer so perhaps Adobe's tools are better, but for the kinds of tasks developers find themselves doing I find Gimp more than adequate. Not to mention I can run it on any platform, which is nice.

Open source compilers are so good that for the most part people don't even bother with commercial compilers. I've been around the block enough times to remember when that was not the case.

Linux/BSD. Unless I needed a tool for my livelihood requiring Windows, why would I ever buy it? Mac OS I get because people are buying the machine and the OS is free - otherwise there's not much point to buying it either.

QEMU and Xen are other successes in the virtualization space.

The only place open source isn't faring as well is in the mobile space - at least not that I'm aware of. Yes there are a lot of mobile projects on GitHub, but I don't know of people using Open Source mobile apps.
Announcing Fedora CoreOS
Man, you're like a magnet for bad luck with transit. I've taken the subway everywhere since turning 13. In 20-odd years of 2+/day subway rides in NYC (morning, afternoon, evening, 3am), the worst things I've encountered have been:

- Homeless people with severe B.O (~1x/week)

- Obnoxious bible thumpers hollering at everyone in the subway car (2-3 times)

- Panhandlers walking from one end of the car to the next (~2x/mo)

- Mariachi bands and dance troupes invading the subway car (~2-3x/week)

- A woman changing her toddler's diaper on the seat right next to me (ew; thankfully only once).

And the only actually threatening ones:

- Mentally ill people talking to themselves (maybe a half dozen times ever) and grumbling at people around them (~2-3 times ever)

- Some creep sitting next to me and asking personal questions and ignoring my requests to leave me the fuck alone.

You can avoid most of these situations by avoiding any disproportionately empty subway car. If you get in the wrong car by accident, you switch at the next stop (<2 min). Most of the rest will leave on their own within a few minutes.

For every unpleasant encounter I've had on the subway, I've had one that's restored my faith in humanity: half the car helping out a woman who fainted; the whole car grinning at each other while an actor in a green rabbit suit did magic tricks for the kids sitting across from her; offers of tissues to someone who developed a spontaneous nosebleed. I've never seen tourists stare in confusion at a map for more than a couple minutes without someone stepping in to offer directions; once with someone else nearby stepping in to translate to Japanese!

My understanding is that each Switch cartridge has a unique key or certificate. People have begun dumping the cartridge ROMs (including certificate) and sharing these online or burning them to writable carts. Nintendo is blocking these keys from online play.

The upset seems to be over the very narrow case where someone dumps a ROM, shares it widely enough that Nintendo blocks it, then sells the genuine progenitor cartridge to an unwitting customer.

I can’t see that happening too often, it only affects online play, and it’s the exact same risk someone takes buying a used console (which are frequently blocked from online play for a number of TOS violations).

I’m fine with this.

While I am generally against DRM and over-reaching copy protection mechanisms, I think this is reasonable. Especially in the context of online play.
I agree with what I think is the spirit of what you say, but it's unhelpfully reductive.

Many, many people who meet your criteria in fact are severely lacking in executive function.

Neurological conditions aside, surely you understand that an adult who's developing years formed a healthy "reward system" for accomplishing tasks will have a much easier time getting things done.

While, yes, most of us have the ability to correct past habits and develop discipline ... It's no different than an athlete who began training at an early age versus someone who took up a sport later in life. The difference in skill and ability is predictably and consistently stark.
If you hit a hot path the impact can be way higher. Especially if you're running client-side and want a fluid experience. Example: https://github.com/facebook/react/pull/12510
