Yes but at the same time they're proposing more government control on issues like Airbnb, Uber, etc. Regardless of whether I or you think it's good or bad, it's leftist.

Low taxes are not necessarily rightist, people would want low and fair taxes even within a full-on socialism; same with everything else you listed, IMO these ideas are neutral. Keeping deficit low is just basic financial management, everyone wants that regardless of their ideas about control.

The difference is whether they want more free market or more government control, even if the control is very cheap, straight forward and efficient or even beneficial, it doesn't matter.

The Chinese communist party also lowered taxes and tries to lower bureaucracy but remains communist (I know, it's much more complex - let's not dive into Chinese politics - and I'm not trying to compare them, just an example how a popularly "rightist" idea can be proposed/implemented by a leftist party).

But yes, as you said they're appealing to people on the right - because as someone who's pro-free market it's better to vote moderate left (and hope they won't focus on the ideas you don't like) than conservative right (who will definitely focus on ideas you don't like these ideas are their main point).

From my experience with "grandiose" narcissists, they share most of the traits of "vulnerable" narcissists, but they try very hard not to show them. If you want to understand their behavior, you have to realize that beneath their self-confident facade, these are extremely vulnerable people as well.

Galveston is another well known instance of this. After much of the city was destroyed by a hurricane storm surge in 1900, it was raised quite significantly. There's a good read about it here:

I've always wondered this, too. The most expensive car I ever bought cost $14K. It was really nice while I had it, but the loan and insurance payments added up to more than $500/month. With a car old enough I can pay for it outright, insurance only costs about $90/month, and even budgeting for $1000-$2000 in repair work every year I'm coming out significantly ahead.

Buying a new car seems like such an unreasonably expensive luxury that I am genuinely surprised there are enough people wealthy enough to keep the industry going.

That's a great point. But it takes a lot of time and effort to filter the content your child consumes. That's because the system is designed so the end user has almost no control over the information flow.
So this will affect the poor disproportionately (once again).
If you don't have time to discover child-friendly, educational content, no money to buy ad-free movies and games from trusted companies, you'll just give your child a tablet with a tab open showing an educational video. What your child will be watching 10 minutes later is up the the mercy of Google. Whatever it's going to be, I bet it won't be in the best interests of your child.

If I'm reading your story correctly, it matches up with a tactic my clients have been seeing more lately. The scammer has already accessed your account because you fell for a phishing scam, typed your email credentials into a fake login site for a fake Office 365 or Dropbox page or something.

Now the scammers are watching your email closely waiting for the opportunity to do this. Waiting for you to send an invoice to your client, so they can jump in and send a revised invoice with their own payment details on it.

This can happen with intrusion into your email box, or your clients'. Hard to say exactly from your story. But either case, someone's mailbox was accessed by the intruder. A similar scam is possible by just using similar domain names, but in such a case you wouldn't know precise details of the invoices. You can just send a random fake invoice and hope the mark pays it or provides payment details in some way.

One thing worth noting in your story is that you aren't out $10,000. Your client is the one who paid the money to the wrong party. They are the ones who need to work with their banks and reverse the payment. It's not your fault that they paid the wrong person.

Chattanooga was too. I have a feeling this was pretty common in response to river flooding and implementing sewage lines.

Although in Chattanooga, I don't think any buildings there were raised. I think they just covered up their first floors. If you work in a building with an underground connector to another build, you'll still see old bricked up door frames to where the streets use to be and halves of windows on the floor.

Zynga copied base from another developer and then A/B aggressively to squeeze maximum. It is not like it would be some shameful secret, that was even basic advice to developers after.

Zynga had repeated success, untill market saturated and other developers caught up. That does not make these tactics not working, that just makes them so common that they are not such a huge advantage anymore.

How to escape mediocrity
> You have no issue working in that industry because those games are 'boring'?

Not because they are boring, but because they are less addictive than they can be. So they are "boring" in comparison. If we were allowed to use all tricks that mobile and on-line games do it will be really bad for society as it will create more addiction.

It is like Coca-Cola. Even that so much sugar makes it problematic, I find it better that at least does not include cocaine like it did in 1891. Does that make Coca-Cola good? No, it does not. But I find that makes it a lesser evil. Even that cocaine-less Coke is more "boring" nowadays, it is the right thing to do.

I hate the term "screen time". The screen isn't the important part. Yeah, if your kid is watching pointless videos, it's not good for them. But at the same time the educational tools available on iPads are amazing compared to what I had when I was a kid.

I have a 5-year-old who goes to kindergarten at a great school. But games like MathTango or Twelve A Dozen are capable of engaging him to a much greater degree than anything else I have found, and they get him engaged in more advanced mathematical concepts than either I or his teachers at school can do alone. When gamification convinces him to just spend a little bit longer solving a few more math problems to get to the next level, it's a good thing.

Stop thinking in terms of "screen time". It's not the screen that's hurting your brain, it's stupid apps that make you stupid. Just don't let your kids use apps that you don't think are good for them.

A lot of modern open-world games incorporate the meandering/gratification loop you're talking about though.

I can't find it now, but there was a heartwarming story on reddit a few months ago about a dad dying of cancer and playing BOTW on a switch in his hospital bed, and bonding with his adult son over it— he never even made it off the Plateau (the initial tutorial section of the game), but was having a ball running around collecting plants, making potions, getting gear, whatever.

Even if the violence level of Assassins Creed or God of War isn't your cup of tea, something like Detroit Become Human or Horizon Zero Dawn could be a good fit.
This just smells like using the same word for two different concept, and then conflating them. Thinking that the world only exists for your own benefit, and thinking that you don't fit in the world, both have an aspect of separating yourself from the world, but it's more harm than help to lump them together. If "narcissism" means having any sense of self identity, then the word means very little as a pathology.
Your client got defrauded, arguably through no fault of your own. They never paid you, so they still owe you. Good luck with this approach, though. IANAL

>Age of Empires & Civilization got me into history as a kid and I checked out dozens of books as a result.

So this is kind of a problem. LOTS of people of our generation learned a lot of our history from games like Age of Empires and Civilization. But these sources of information aren't neutral. They had biases baked into their narratives by the simple structure of game design.

The notion of "nations" or "civilizations" as discrete, immutable, and clearly defined categories is actually straight up wrong. The idea of history as the story of competition between these civilizational entities is likewise wrong. But tons of people of our generation think of history this way. They think of technological advancement like a "tech tree" as if all of human progress can be charted on a map with no consideration for alternative ways the world could have shaken out. Monotheism MUST be invented after polytheism, you MUST have invented the wheel in order to invent agriculture, and so on. Overall you're being fed the idea that the world as it is is the only way the world could have been, which is just not the case.

We were being acculturated into a specific (and imperialistic) worldview about what history is and how culture works. But because nobody ever took video games seriously, they never bothered to understand and unpack their influence as pedagogical tools. It's not like a novel or a movie where the morals and themes of the narrative are there to make an intentional point. With games the logic of needing to have a game to play and goals and objectives to meet winds up transmitting themes and morals that people either don't intend or don't bother thinking very hard about.
Back End GraphQL: How to Trigger an AWS AppSync Mutation from AWS Lambda
Damn, my knee-jerk reaction got the best of me and I missed the full context of that what discussed and replied without nuance.

Since I cannot edit anymore, let me correct it here:

In the country where I work, using such words in a professional context, even for illustrative purpose such as described in the article, would be rather uncommon, would definitely feels weird and at least raise a few eyebrows.

But I have to say I don't think it would usually result in immediate outrage and for the speaker to be fired (I can still see this happening, but it would definitely be the odd occurrence). It would probably be considered more of a well-intended-but-slightly-misguided attempt.

So we definitely have such taboo words outside the US, but maybe they are not as strong a taboo here...

The issue with that trope is that while Musk's bet on good always winning in the end, that may not be for many generations.

We're still fighting for an equality that's been fought for thousands of years. Fanatical Muslims fighting against Fanatical Christians as a facade covering a war for resources. Who is good? Who is bad? Are either one really any worse than the other?

I'm hoping that his bet moves us towards a more utopian society.

Sadly, while I'm an optimist, my cynicism prevents me from believing that humanity will allow us to get there.

The winners are the ones that write the history books, while the losers are painted to be evil, if they're even included in the history books at all. Some are even written out of the history books and not taught in schools in the hope that in a generation or two they're forgotten.

Humanity doesn't exactly have a very inspiring track record when it comes to good always winning... in fact, its track record is pretty abysmal.

You cannot pursue "pure capitalism" to its logical end. Like "pure communism", it just ends in misery and suffering for everyone.

"Productivity" cannot be re-defined so that those that do the actual labor are removed from the equation. If a company or firm produces more revenue, than it's a simple value judgement as to how that revenue is distributed, and, right now, those at the top of company management and investors are the only people making that decision. Organizations like unions simply change how that decision is made by re-balancing the power involved with the decision. You may want to keep all of the revenue gains from your automation to yourself and your investors, but you may not be able to if it means that most of your workforce walks off the job. Likewise, you can automate your entire operations with robots and computers, but good luck trying to sell whatever it is you're producing when everyone is (effectively) unemployed.

I also think that this will serve as a base for Tesla. The first few profitable products are the hardest to produce. If they launch an even affordable version, they'll be able to manyfacture in bulk and not he stuck in "production hell".

I'm very happy that Tesla broke even, just look at a few months back. Who would've thought this would happen? I would read an article a day saying Tesla will go bankrupt, but now they are making more number of cars and cash. The main advantage Tesla had was that ither manufacturers are busy milking ICE engines.

You're right in principle, but the problem is that nuance doesn't scale. In 1987 Microsoft only had about 1800 employees so it was more practical to apply some individual judgment to employee policies. Google had about 38000 employees in 2013, so it was more than an order of magnitude larger. That's a much tougher management problem.
That's why it's legally dubious.

Your email did not get hacked most likely. Your client got tricked. They spoofed an email with your domain, but the reply-to email was their own (the attacker). So the client thinks they responded to you, but they responded to the fake address. Also, generally when they do this, they spoof the body and the conversation of the email.

Most likely, your client's emails were compromised in this case. Ask them to forward you the original email received as an attachment, and the reply-email as an attachment.

Your client likely has to reach out to their banking institution. Most companies have safeguards against this on their end when sending money, specifically, when accounts change they get on the phone with someone using their Vendor list, not the communication from the email. Also, having multiple parties authorize a transfer.

I am fine with having extra sentences to read.
A company's success always relies on customers; the key here being elasticity in supply because then customers can simply sidestep the offending company by creating a new one. Of course the company might somehow gain a natural monopoly, however I think that technological progress will solve that for us - there is a lot of water in space and oil will be replaced by electricity/hydrogen pretty soon anyways, definitely earlier than any entity at all including governments would be able to control even a single resource planet-wide.

Then there is the people factor - people are not dumb, they simply will not sell their water/oil resources if they see someone trying to build a monopoly.

IMHO oil company influence on the government is a major hold up of electrification (actively opposing nuclear power plants and so on) - without that influence electricity could be much cheaper and electric vehicles in bigger demand, government funds could be invested in research of batteries etc.

The assumption of modern anarchists is that contrary to the past, a single individual today is very powerful and independent thanks to technology and the riches it comes with - and they could use that strength in combination with other individuals to resist corporations and shape the world around them. Consider that just 100 years ago mere communication between ordinary people was almost impossible on longer distances, today ordinary people are able to buy a tank or a small fighter jet (of course in a group - BTW I actually have a friend that owns a tank and another friend that owns a fighter jet, of course gunless).
