I disagree that it's a "flaw". It is the natural consequence of an ideology, where we ascribe proportionate value to the contributions of executives and marginal value to the contributions of everyone else.

Since we believe that executives are the ones creating the wealth, it is just that the wealth flows out of the company and towards them. Executives giveth and executives taketh away.
Sadly, no.

I use CRT on my main computer, in my country all flat panels I seen so far are too expensive OR useless for my purposes.

1. CRT can use arbitrary resolutions, I love that, not only for retro gaming, but some modern games can reach "ultra" settings when lowering resolution a little, on a "mid-range" GPU (I own a Radeon 380X, sadly the last GPU to have analog video, I dunno what I will do when purchasing my next one)

2. My CRT contrast never bothered me, differently from the flat panels I owned, for example trying to play "superhot" and then "dark souls" same day required lots and lots of fiddling with flat panels, the settings that let me see anything at all on dark souls, made the screen flat white on superhot, fixing the settings for superhot made the screen flat black on dark souls... CRT I never felt the need to readjust contrast and brigthness after I found the setting I wanted.

3. Input lag... for most games this is not obvious, specially since lots of recent games have input lag anyway (for example I noticed a couple games check the controller status in a certain order that make all input always 1 frame late, sometimes 2 frames late if there is vsync and whatnot in the mix) but for example playing "Necrodancer" on CRT is much, MUCH easier for me.

4. This one is more theoretical, since the CRTs I own are cheap, but for a long time some CRTs could reach crazy high refresh rates.

5. "HDR", well, to be honest I never seen this either in person, but I know that some manufacturers did made some cool CRTs that supported HDR, most notably for SGI workstations that could create images with some ridiculous amounts of bits per pixel.

6. Retro gaming without expensive hardware: many, MANY games relied on CRT pixel "bleed" and fuzzyness of analog systems to create special effects, a notorious one is the waterfalls in sonic, on a system that has the intended hardware instead of seeing alternating columns of pixels, you would see a transparent waterfall, there are lots of emulators with plugins to simulate those, but to make the art work REALLY right on a modern screen you need a 4k screen, expensive powerful GPU and whatnot... as weird it sounds... it is cheaper to buy an actual CRT and even an actual old console to play some games.
I think what the author is saying is that paradigm 2 is built _on top of_ paradigm 1 and if you can't do #1 right, then by definition _neither_ can be right.

> That depends on how you define "people". In much of mediaeval Europe, for example, it was the heavily armed aristocracy who were left alone "so they could pursue their well-being": the lightly armed or unarmed peasantry that they ruled over, not so much. (And when the latter did attempt to pursue it in an unapproved manner, they were put down with violence: see Wat Tyler's Revolt, for example.)

I'm not sure the author is implying anything other than this. It seems to me that you're presenting a compatible assertion as a contradiction.

> That suggests that a nation-state was a collaborative exercise of its people as a whole, rather than the result of the consolidation of power by its monarchs over time. That sounds more like a "Just So" story than history.

The notion of humans forming communities predates the advent of monarchy. Both you and the author are trying to create "just so" stories around authoritarianism as a motivating factor for human culture.

While there are cases where we can find communities that are entirely synthetic (created from scratch by existing power structures for strategic reasons), this doesn't seem to hold as a general rule. Absolute authority tends to appear after prosperity.

It seems pretty unfair to accuse the author of just-so-ing a condition and then rebutting with an assertion that's like in kind.

In my experience, my own picture does trigger a different response than a basically identical photo from somebody else. I have a wall dedicated to pictures of my various hiking trips, and replacing them with professional photos doesn't have the same effect. I've tried.

I also don't think taking a picture and being present in the moment are mutually exclusive at all. It takes five seconds for me to snap a quick photo. It's really not that big of a deal.
Nyan is an Onomatopœia for the sound a cat makes, commonly used in Japan. English usually uses "meow". The catalan word is "mèu".

The "to meow" verb would be "miolar", thus "Nyanyejar" is just "to nyan" turned into a catalan verb, kinda.

Too communal approach and you're looking at ossified society with no innovation and no efficiency - communism (socialism really) demonstrated it. My UK friend told me that UK was already heading somewhat dangerously in that direction right before Thatcher stepped in - it saw little economic growth, unions blocking entire industries etc. I don't know the full brunt of the situation back then, but it looks like people were tired enough to try a different approach, and elected Thatcher.
Life in 2D couldn't have an esophagus or an intestinal track. Then the organism would be split in two. Maybe you could have an organism that surrounds something and spits it out after sucking up the nutrients.

As to 1D life, I find it hard to imagine an organism that could be 1D and exist.

I didn't read the paper, though.
It's similar to the question "Can you sue someone for that?" Sure, anyone can sue anyone for anything, but you probably won't win stupid cases.

Any competent lawyer is going to reach for every available defense that seems vaguely plausible, but they're unlikely to win. A quick search makes it look like although Coca Cola only had to pay a $1.2M fine in this case the defense that no reasonable person would believe their advertising was rejected.

> Coca-Cola fought back arguing that no reasonable consumer could be misled into thinking vitaminwater was a healthy beverage but last year a federal judge rejected this defense.

I don't think the fundamental problem is being publicly traded, it's a question of how distributed the control of a company is. Some publicly traded companies are controlled by few people.

When ownership is concentrated, decisions can be made based on long-term ideology. When ownership is highly distributed, and especially when indirect via indices, decisions are made in favour of widely accepted and broadly applicable metrics of performance, which tend to have only short term confidence.
I don't think the terms and definitions (life vs. alive) are the best possible for making sense of this topic.

I think we can distinguish between:

* A living cat

* A dead cat

* A cat's living or dead skin cell

* A self-replicating 3D printer called Alice

I don't like the term "life" to refer to both the living and the dead cat. It seems bizarre to have concepts of "living life" and "non-living life."

I would rather say "living organism" and "dead organism," the latter of which implies that at once point it was a living organism.

And the cat's skin cell is not an organism at all; it is a living (or dead) _part_ of an organism.

Alice, on the other hand, is not an organism or a part of an organism. I would not use the same term for Alice as I would for biological life. Philosophically, does Alice constitute artificial life? Maybe. But calling Alice "living" with no qualifiers seems off.
Yesterday I went to book a hotel and Priceline had a room for $129, which was $20 cheaper than Expedia or any other site.

Curious, I clicked on it and went to the Priceline site, and watched as a JavaScript animation “rolled” the price from $129 to $149 and alerted me that someone just got the last room. Obviously the whole thing was fake. (Why would they implement such an animation, and how likely is it that someone got the room in those two seconds?)

At this point, it’s not even nudging or dark patterns but just straight out fraud.

Simply refusing to pay or ignoring the bill results in the bill being sent to collection and your credit will be impacted. The only thing the lab was willing to do was to put me on a payment plan.

In the end I didn’t pay a penny. I have good insurance so if they declined payment that must be for a good reason. So I researched that angle. It turned out that the test the doctor ordered was FDA approved, but not as a cancer screen, which is what the doctor ordered it for. I threatened to sue the doctor for malpractice, and she worked with the manufacturer of the test and the lab and made the bill go away. The manufacturer was pushing the test as a cancer screen, but the doctor should have checked if it was FDA approved as a cancer screen.

I'm saying that they're better off in Border Patrol facilities than being repeatedly trafficked across the desert, recycled over and over again to create fake family after fake family for criminals to get into the united states.

It might help us provide a more humane experience for them while in these facilities if we didn't have politically motivated Democrats demagoguing and grandstanding, trying to play off our emotions for election points, whilst denying funding for these facilities.

But NOPE! I guess we can't fund these facilities, because the progressive wing of the party has collectively fallen into the delusion that we're in pre-WW2 Germany and Trump is a Nazi, just because they don't like the guy. It's the most ridiculous paranoia I've come across, which is saying something coming from me considering how generally paranoid I am personally. There's no basis for it. None whatsoever.

One cannot expect a warning if a warning isn’t required. You may hope to get a warning, but unless it is required you should not expect it. There are numerous cases listed on the website we are discussing where, in fact, no warning was issued. Had those individuals/companies read the comments in this thread prior to receiving fines, they would have been wondering why they received no warning, since everyone claims they should “expect” their self-appointed, benevolent, data overlords to give them a warning first. Unfortunately for them, all of you are incorrect that they should “expect” to receive warnings. Why? Because they are not required, and not only that, warnings don’t even appear to be the norm.

You're not considered a transfer student when you do Running Start. As long as you haven't actually graduated high school when taking the community college classes, you're considered a freshman applicant when applying to colleges. It's offered as a better alternative to just taking more AP or IB classes, which are also 'college level'.
Even broader I believe. For example recently I purchased a Vizio TV and based on their advertising of the TV on their website, it said it included a Android tablet remote (and they showed pictures of it on the page).

Apparently that was for last years model not the newer model I purchased. Needless to say, customer service was adamant at telling me they would not send me the android remote control because that is not included in this years model. Completely false advertising. I didn't bother further than this complaint.
When somebody calls you an asshole, there are two general reasons why that might be. Maybe there is something wrong with the person calling you an asshole; maybe they're having a bad day or have some sort of irrational grudge against you. The alternative reason is maybe you are an asshole.

When you're called an asshole once, it's easy to assume the other person is having a bad day. But if numerous people are calling you an asshole every day of the week, chances are you are an asshole.

Parchment, well vellum, is interesting. There's still a company or two producing it in the UK as all UK law is published on vellum, as it's been shown to last thousands of years. When they've looked at switching to archival paper, it's not been much cheaper, and only that it should last. Parchment also has a fair amount of natural fire resistance.
