I think video games went from "fun for a while, but eventually you wanna stop and go ride bikes" to "wait, what do you mean it's Monday morning?" at or a little after the 16-bit console era. There were always people who could just play Super Mario 3 all day or that one guy who did nothing but play Doom for six months or whatever, but most kids (and certainly most adults) would knock it off after a while. It wasn't a widespread issue, even among the small segment of the population that played games, even if some did have problems even then.

There was the occasional eat-your-life-for-weeks-on-end game but they tended to be confined to genres like 4x and RPGs (Ultima series, say) and you didn't see multiple high-quality works of that sort every single year. The other big exception was probably MUDs and other games where social, online multiplayer was a major component.

I think a combo of 1) refining and focusing games to drive "engagement", 2) games just getting better over time, in a lot of ways, 3) multiplayer and social elements becoming more common, and 4) digital distribution putting unlimited novelty at one's fingertips, has made the whole artform kinda scary, unless you stick strictly to shortish, tight single-player games. Or local multiplayer, I guess, since it's hard to binge that until 3AM on a regular basis, for obvious reasons. Leveling concepts, lengthy turn-based games, randomness of rewards, and online/social components are all especially dangerous.

Actually point 4 goes for most things, now. It's kinda too fast & easy to get... well, almost everything. I think there's a reason an unfettered will and easy gratification aren't usually things depicted as improving characters in fiction, for example, and often do the opposite.
The longer scrolling message is telling you, as you'd know if you read it, that this seat can be reserved even though it currently isn't. As I indicated, some seats can't be reserved, and in this case the message is far shorter and doesn't scroll. "Unreserved" is usually the word used.

Paper tickets can't be updated and so in some cases they reflect no longer accurate information. This is especially misleading for long distance services where many reservations may happen after the service departs from its origin.
There is a link to another article that states:

>“Bike facilities end up slowing cars down, even when a driver hits another driver, it’s less likely to be a fatality because it’s happening at a slower speed,” Marshall said.

It's obvious that we need large radical changes in the industrial economy. However, individual behaviour is not inconsequential. It's an important factor, if not a prerequisite, in economy transition. We live in a democracy after all. We need to show our leaders that we care.

> Aviation is not a significant contributor to global warming

Nothing is. There is no low hanging fruit here. Any given industry has at most X% of impact. We need lots and lots of adjustments across the board. Including in aviation.

> but framing the problem as a question of individual choice is counterproductive.

It's not either/or. We need both. We need every help we can get.

> Right, which is why I'm personally mostly worried about service providers being wink-wink nudge-nudge deputized into performing a mostly-effective end run around legal protections on speech.

This is totally within their right - in fact the 1st Amendment guarantees it. Freedom of speech isn't just freedom to say what you want, it's also freedom from compelled speech - freedom from the government saying "you have to say X, Y, and Z". To mandate that platforms host content isn't an "end run around legal protections on speech", their ability to refuse content is guaranteed by the legal protections on speech.

I assume you're talking about platforms here. Telecoms are utilities and are required to transmit content because they're government-backed. While I think there's a debate to be had about what parts of internet infrastructure should be regulated as utilities (I think hosting providers or at least domain providers should, they're filling a similar infrastructure role as ISPs in my view) it's incorrect to say that platforms' refusal to host certain content is circumventing freedom of speech.
> that doesn’t mean the new agreement is enforceable without additional consideration from FB

Contracts can be re-negotiated for any legal or even no reason. Raising the price without providing additional consideration is fair game if both parties agree. And consumers have, overwhelmingly, agreed to the changes.

The question is whether Facebook abused its monopoly position to coerce its users into said agreement. That's the author's gist, and based on the evidence presented, it's a convincing argument.
It’s my understanding that lots of US cities have more vacant homes than homeless people, so perhaps our solution is not building homes but simply placing people in existing homes.
Out of curiosity, what industry are you in?
Electric bikes enable more people to participate in biking when they would have driven otherwise. It takes time to build up the leg strength it takes to bike well enough for commuting, most people don't have the time to train for weeks so that they can comfortably conquer the hill on the way to work or whatever.

More bikes on the road means more pressure on drivers to keep an eye out, and more pressure on politicians to make infrastructure safe for cyclists.
This is a natural step that I’ve been waiting for for years. This can almost remove the need for password typing, as you don’t even need one to unlock the device anymore. Let’s hope Microsoft does the same, and integrates with apple’s solution. A lot of people are on iOS+Win10 for laptops.
Yes it is possible. Check out Ireland, it has many companies who would hire you. Ageism is not a problem in Europe as much as it is in the US. Germany also a great option.

My idea was to run a "smart" phone through wifi router & be amazed while i.d.'ing all the easter egg packets and servers connecting to fuel the surveillance economy. But alas, kids don't care and "have nothing to hide". Your idea sounds more better... let's skip hurting the inbred fry mill types, just grab one from a local water body & test for pharmacology, perhaps.
You don't have to be a complete monopoly to fall into anti-trust abuse. Amazon has absolutely abused their market position against quite a number of mfg's.
What does "pushing them to move from platforms to protocols" mean?

Opening up Facebook is what led to the Facebook APIs and data going in the hands of thousands of 3rd parties (ex: Cambridge Analytica).

Assuming it is possible to "open up" those monopolies, it would require a completely new paradigm.
Probably housing allowance (https://www.kela.fi/web/en/housing-benefits) and/or basic social assistance (https://www.kela.fi/web/en/social-assistance), the latter of which covers essential daily expenses if you cannot afford them.

Can someone explain the difference between a "bight" and a "loop"?

https://home.army.mil/wood/application/files/8915/3868/3675/...

In the linked pdf, a bight is bend/curve of rope that doesn't cross itself; however, they show a "double bight" which seems to cross itself. They say that the "strands" don't cross... errr ok?, I'm not understanding how the "double bight" is not a "loop"... the rope is crossing itself!
I too would like to hear of the country where 1) Don't kill and 2) Don't steal are not in some way specified in law.
That's me, too. I've read the essay many times, and I'm always scratching my head either at how the pieces fit into the big picture, or what various components or jargon means. Like, what's a penstock? What is "head"? I can Google these things and eventually come to a pieced-together understanding, but it would be a lot more meaningful and educational if explained by one person.
I only have a degree in this but you know nowadays on Hn anything goes. Regardless if I literally quote wikipedia about the subject, there are people who know better. Based on this, base load is dead, long live solar + wind!
I was providing data point disproving (dumb) claim I heard some people make. If I just said I'm intelligent and bored you could just think I'm not that intelligent. I thought it was better to tell you exactly how intelligent I am so you can decide for yourself if that's intelligent enough or not. IQ is just a number like height or age. I just stated it as it was measured by Mensa membership test.

And I don't care much about people taking me seriously.
Most disputes have nothing to do with the quality of your product, they're because it's a card number has been stolen and being used illegally and the merchant has no way of knowing this. You're not just out the $15, if you've delivered given the customer merchandise, you'll have to absorb that loss. Most times you won't know a charge has been disputed for around 30 days, so your merchandise is very likely to be gone. The $15 is nothing for many businesses...

> You'll regularly get harassed for riding in the street, even when you're all the way to the right

I don't even understand the hate for riding in the middle. If a driver were to pass someone riding on the right, he would (should) have to move so far over that the next lane has to be empty. That is the same as if the bicyclist was in the middle.

Riding to the right only invites cars to squeeze past. Take the lane, it's safer.
Finally an excuse to delete my Facebook account completely. SSO was the only reason I was still using it.

I do wonder how many sites will actually implement it.
You can advocate for a policy without adopting it in your personal life. Especially if changing your personal life would have insignificant impact when compared to a policy.

People can do whatever they like on their own. We elect politicians to establish our public policy, not their personal policy.
Are you wearing a motorcycle helmet? My bike helmet doesn't touch my ears and weighs around 300g, about 5% of the 5 kg weight of a human head -- I can't tell the difference between turning my head with and without a helmet, but it doesn't matter much on the road since I use a rear-view mirror on my glasses so I look behind me much more often than if I had to turn my head every time.

More homes means higher supply means rents fall? And the three-month trial period, additional support services, and near-guaranteed contract in perpetuity would help get people into homes who might previously have had difficulty holding down a job, or might previously have been evicted for reasons other than rent.
Providence is one such city with an electric bikeshare fleet. The people who ride them appear to be in much more danger, as they rarely wear helmets and seem to be even less aware of traffic regulations than traditional cyclists.
I think common terminology would say that printing money is about as core a function of "monetary policy" as is imaginable. If the government has outstanding bonds, "printing money" by having the central bank buy them does not seem like "deficit spending". If the government has no outstanding bonds, and isn't running a deficit, it would be necessary to cut taxes to create a deficit (and hence bonds for the central bank to buy), or for the central bank to buy non-government assests. But this hypothetical is entirely unrealistic in present circumstances anyway.

But what you call things doesn't really matter. You don't offer any argument for why printing money wouldn't solve the problem, assuming there is one.

That's an interesting idea. You could take three groups of kids, group 1 is register A, group 2 is register B, group 3 is the output, and you have one for carry/overflow. You can add or remove bits and make other flags to get everyone included. Then you just tell them the rules for any operation you want to run!

For example, adding A and B together you do from right to left, and carry gets to raise his hand when you overflow.

You could do other simple operations like subtract, shifts, ANDs and ORs, etc.

That could be a blast.

I once attended a banquet dinner and shared a table with a female FBI agent and her husband. The entire table was enthralled by her fascinating stories of the field. Someone finally asked the husband what he did. He said “IT”. The conversation quickly shifted back to his kick-ass wife.
It's a classic problem of mistaking the symptom of homelessness for the problem. If a person simply has a life event that wipes out their finances and they get evicted, okay sure - providing cheap housing just for people in their situation is great. But as much as we don't like stereotypes, a lot of homeless people do actually end up in that situation because of behavioral cycles that still need to be broken. What makes it worse is that homelessness changes a person - and sometimes they are unable to be a part of society right away for more reasons than money (and sometimes they don't even want to). My family operates a hotel that will sell off excess hotel rooms to various homeless groups in the winter - and many times the homeless don't want to be complete inside, so they open windows, etc. and only be as "inside" as they absolutely need to be to survive. That does cause problems if you share infrastructure with other people.
Every email provider can do this to you.
biking is a scourge to cars. there are plenty of zero emission vehicles out there. I doubt anyone is yelling ignorant things at you. people who drive cars know you are annoying. you’re in the way and it’s impossible to pass you. we’re not going to expand every road because it would be impractical.

if you get electric bikes you can just go 35mph and nobody will care. motorcycles do it fine.

>Contracts can be re-negotiated for any legal or even no reason.

Yes, they can be renegotiated, they can not be unilaterally changed without additional consideration (except limited circumstances: UCC, sale of goods, etc...).

Continuation of use or even agreement to the unilateral change doesn’t matter if their is no additional consideration, the new agreement is deemed void/unenforceable.
>When there are cars parked in between the cycle lane and the car lane it's much easier for the driver to miss the cyclist, and few people check the cycle lane before turning right. I was definitely guilty of this until I started cycling.

Happened to me. I t-boned the car, flipped up and over it, landed on outstretched arms and damn near broke them. She drove off. Still haven't fully recovered after a few years.

Honestly you just have to be fast enough to keep up with cars or take roads where cars are sparse. I find that drivers get more aggressive and careless the more of them there are on the road. Anecdotally if you drive a car in a rural road, if you happen to see another car on your trip you're getting a smile and a wave. This does not happen in downtown Austin.

Is this a current issue you're having or your expected industry response?
Except as it stands, they're both a market and a seller directly. Similar to Facebook is both a platform and a publisher.

The problem is that a lot of the time the rules are in stark contrast depending on which you are. In the Amazon case, I think product commingling, without distinct labeling is a significant muddy water scenario.
