Well, they made a game where you can make your own microgames (D.I.Y.), and I believe an Iwata Asks revealed it was basically a dumbed down version of the internal tools they had been using, at least for the earlier DS WarioWare game (Touched.) Not sure if that quite answers your question, but I would bet it's some kind of DSL interpreted by a microgame engine.

That's what I always heard as well, but it doesn't apply to Tesla for some reason, which is not being discussed even though it should be.

According to the above link, parts for cars and other consumer products only need to be available in some form (and not from the manufacturer) for the stated warranty period, whatever it is. After that you have no protection. Seems the 10 yr thing is an urban legend widely promulgated to rubes like us.

The thread has evidence that laws are different overseas. In Israel it is claimed parts must be available for 7 years, as an example.
Sky Credit Solution Are the Best
Truthfully speaking, life has not been fair to me since my credit went low. I lost my house and couldn’t even get a loan to fund my business. They kept saying my credit was not good enough. I got to meet Sky Credit Solution, after seeing a lot of reviews online about them. They were able to boost my score to 766 and remove all negative and derogatory items, they cleared my debts and increased my credit card limit in 9 days. If you need such services then text/call (620) 399 6316 or Email SKYCREDITSOLUTION247@GMAIL.COM. They are very proactive and run an effective 24 hours service.

I suspect you're overestimating how many of those there are.
You are going to need artist(s) to do tilesets, objects in the world, character portraits, enemies/player models in multiple rotations, UI art, and various splash screens/loading screens/game state transitions.

Conservatively, I'd be surprised if you could put that all together for less than $50,000 if you were paying a contractor to deliver them for you.

The average steam game sells about 30,000 copies. That's the average, including the super big hits from AAA devs. I don't have the data for indie games, but I'd guess it's probably closer 3,000 copies.

So, amortized, you are looking at raising your prices by $2 per copy. Except remember that your platform is gonna take 30%, so you need to raise your prices by $3/copy.

Some of those 3,000 copies sold are going to come from discounted sales, which means if you want to break even on art, you need to push the full price up a bit more so you don't lose too much on sale prices. $4 is a lot of money to ask, relative to the price of the game. It's at least a 10% increase in cost, probably considerably more.
I am sort of getting used to pacman with msys2. Do Arch or Manjaro package registries (are they the same thing?) have good availability in general?

What I mean is, in Arch or Manjaro, how often are there already packages available for things that people normally want to do, versus needing to compile something manually or work around broken dependencies?
I wonder if it's limited to all states. Feels like a door is open for individuals, and perhaps other things like cities, counties, etc. I'm imagining some sort of J&J all-hands-on-deck meeting tommorow.
Those merchants likely have a special contract with the card issuer to be a partner with the card issuer. Travel brands lock in repeat brand-loyal customers with mileage rewards. Some of those cards have hundreds of dollars of yearly fees, and the cardholders are spending more overall to negate the impact of the fee. Even so with rotating cards it’s easy to end up in a place where you don’t get your money’s worth or just barely beat the fee. If your card gets you 5% rewards and costs $400 a year, and you come out of the year with $600 in rewards, you’re up $200 overall while the issuer got $400 from you and $300 out of a 2.5% merchant fee, so they’re still up $100. That’s all assuming every one of your purchases was a 5% reward purchase. The issuers margin goes up every time you use their “Shop With CardCo” shopping portal where merchants pay more money to advertise through, or take advantage of other partner deals.

The people churning enough to actually cost the issuer money are extremely rare and there are a lot of people making sure it stays that way.

And then there are folks who get hit with interest and late fees that subsidize the big churners.
Not the most agreeable way of saying it, but 100% agree.

Why is it that every-time someone says something _everyone else should be thinking_, it gets downvoted to hell. I'm guessing it's because the way you said it, but something tells me the wiser, more experienced opinions such as yours just aren't flashy or trendy enough to get support in this modern, up-vote world.
>* I'm asking why their accounts aren't closed.*

Because, churners, are a very small portion of the 20B in revenue Visa generated last year, of which it generated a ~50% profit margin.

The system works so well already, why rock the boat by closing the accounts of a few thousand individuals? It would probably cost more to enforce any such rule than they lose in revenue.

Ask HN: How do you responsibly dispose of an old laptop?
I've found some other threads on HN suggesting that you find a way to donate your old laptops. Mine is a 2008 MacBook, and I suspect that few organizations or even individuals would want an eleven-year-old machine.

Are there any organizations, forums, subreddits, etc. where I might find people interested in making use of it? If not, are there ecologically responsible recycling programs I could send it to?
> I speak German and trying to keep up with the language in America is nearly impossible because I can't find any good source of German language

I find that hard to believe. Nowadays it is so easy to get a lot of stuff online.

> books

For older stuff there is the English Gutenberg or the German Gutenberg site and Wikisource also has some stuff.

And almost all books released in German are available as DRM free ePubs. Sign up to e.g. https://www.ebook.de/ with an email and minimal fake address (they require one even if you don't buy physical books) and pay with paypal.

> or TV shows or movies here in the US.

The public stations put a lot of stuff online. Google for "Mediathek" and the channel name (ARD, ZDF, 3Sat, ARTE, ORF, SRF). Most stuff shouldn't be geolocked and if it is, youtube-dl works also on those Mediatheken, too and if it is really geolocked, try the option '--geo-bypass-country de'. If that doesn't work, get a VPN like NordVPN.

Youtube also has lots of stuff. https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Funk_(Medienangebot) is a network of publicly funded producers, but it is entirely online, geared towards younger viewers but has lots of informative channels. Two of my favorites are mailab (short clips, topic always something scientific) or kurzgesagt (similar style as xkcd but with colored animations [they are Munich based, started out in English but added German content since being payed for it]). And the best thing is that all those shows are subtitled.

Depending on your age and if you are watching Let's Plays, people like Gronkh and the Rocketbeans might suit you. Or look for German channels on Twitch.

And as others already said, podcasts are big in Germany. Or online radio stations.

Also Netflix now. Of course "Dark" but especially"How to Sell Drugs Online (Fast)" is a great one.

> And beyond trying to legally purchase them, it's difficult to even pirate German language media. It just doesn't exist.

It does. You're just looking in the wrong places. :-)

Mldonkey is surprisingly often still used for that. Also some plain old download sites (granted, that are not that easy to find if you're not a regular on German sites).

Anybody can hit me up if they want some pointers (mail from profile, dingir_bhaak on Twitter, or bhaak on Freenode IRC).
Stock Simulator Game #2019
I recently found out that people are selling legitimate keys on eBay for a few bucks: https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw=windows+10+ltsc

According to people who have purchased from there, they're VL keys that can be used many times (e.g. 2500 times), so they just sell the same key over and over to multiple people:

> ...sellers on eBay are probably people that work for companies that get GVLK and MAK Product Keys from MSDN/Microsoft and then just sell 'em off because the companies they work for more than likely would never even notice? I mean, with MAK Product Keys having from 2500 to 5000 activations per key, at least if they still work the same way they did in Vista/7 days, most companies that pay for volume licensing never ever actually use anywhere near that many. [0]

> after about 3 hours I got a mail with a key and a link to download "LTSCX64.2019.ENU.JAN2019.iso" from googledrive.
I did not download the ISO, so I cannot comment on that, but I typed the key into VAMT and its description is "Win 10 RTM EnterpriseS Volume:MAK" and the key had 50 activations left.
I tried it on one of my LTSC 2019 installations and it worked fine.
I assume that the remaining activation count will decrease over time, even when I do not use the key on my other installations, as I suspect that the seller sells the same key to more than one buyer.. [0]

> so, after about a week all 50 activations of the key I got are gone.
since I only used 8 activations, one can be sure that the key was sold to multiple buyers.
business as usual on ebay.. [0]

It's probably against some contract somewhere, but IANAL.

The fact it tries to downplay that millions of people are dying, and continue to die, ignoring that there is direct correlation between number of pills dumped in a state and deaths.
It's more like the present; every part they manufacture goes into a new Tesla while owners wait weeks for replacement parts.
Those AAA studios sell many, many more copies of their games (like, orders of magnitude more). The demand/sales curves are totally different when you are selling tens or hundreds of thousands of copies of a game.

And yes, it does play into their budgeting/planning calculus as well. There's a reason there are so many franchise games these days...
Each tesla comes with a mobile charger with adapters for nema 14-50 (220 dryer outlet) and 5-15 (standard 110 outlet).

However, we already have English as a de facto world language. Aviation is in English, if a Chinese person and a German are in a meeting, often English is the bridge language. Hundreds of millions of people speak various regional languages in India, yet English is often common. Scientific literature is also heavily in English. Some notion that Esperanto is going to replace the international utility of English is just a fantasy.
I personally have not bought Vogel's games based solely on their amateur visual appearance, and given the fact that he's never put out a "good-looking" game, how does he even know how it would affect sales?
My wife damaged the skirt at the bottom of the car, driving over a bump. It dented the skirt pretty badly, so we got it replaced.

$10,000 and 4 weeks labor (but waited months to get it fixed), because they had to disassemble the whole damn car. I was livid at what should have been maybe a $200 part required practically the entire car to be disassembled. One front seat and the back seats were both removed as were the entire side panel of the car.

Until Tesla solves the maintenance and replaceability of parts, I'm never getting another Tesla again. It's simply bad design. It's like an iPhone where you can't just replace the battery, you need to disassemble the entire thing just to get to the battery.

With no commitment to their Roadster customers, it makes me wonder how long they will be committed to their Model 3 customers in providing parts? Already the parts market takes months to get parts, how will it be 6 years from now?
Nice quote. I love the double-meaning in that poem. "Look on my Works, ye Mighty, and despair", intended by Ozymandias to mean "despair because you are so much weaker", but the double-meaning is "despair because my fall reveals how all human things decay". Look upon my great scientific works, my great technological strides, my space stations and satellites, ye Mighty, and despair!

We could keep talking past each other. Instead, let me short-circuit that and hand you the victory. All you need to reveal what a child and a fool I am is to recite my own Bible back at me:

I think because most people dramatically underestimate the complexity of making games and overestimate the sales of games.

It's easy to say, "Just hire an artist" without understanding the complexities in finding that artist, negotiating a contract, ensuring they are delivering to your expectations, tracking their progress, ensuring they meet your creative vision, and recouping the money in sales to actually pay them.

Lithium is also quite plentiful, not rare at all. It's also not poisonous the way lead or cadmium are.

Lithium batteries are a fire hazard, though, even if we learn to produce them 10x as cheap in the future. Iron batteries are most likely not.
> he most cogent criticism of the original post, I think, was that he was conflating cheap art with bad art. You can (and some indies do) have very cheap lo-fi art that still looks good in context. He does not, which is fine, because it is hard.

You are conflating lo-fi art with cheap and/or bad lo-fi art. "Cheap lo-fi art that looks good" is not a thing, because the talent that can make something lo-fi also look good and, more importantly, provide good art direction for an extensive project is not cheap.

We are not talking a screen full of pixels or two. These games would require thousands upon thousands of art tiles, that all aim for a distinguishable, consistent and unique in overall style.

As you said, it's hard. That makes it expensive, in either time or money, or both.

In my experience, it's a little too easy to snack being home all day every day, especially when work slows down or during burnouts. Keto has played a huge role in managing snacking, or at least, unhealthy snacking.

1. Because those people who were enticed by that program might no be enticed to sign up in the first place if it says “5% cash back (unless you take advantage of this in which case we cancel your account)”

2. I bet government regulators might be a bit peeved by a company that systematically cancels customer accounts for behavior which is within the advertised terms of the agreement. Usually regulators frown upon luring customers in with an advertisement for a product/service and then purposefully sidestepping said product/service.

3. It’s probably such a small number of customers that’s it’s just not even worth their time.
Find a niche. Build a profitable business around it. Stay small. Make your customers and your staff happy (make a path to shared ownership for them if that tickles your fancy). Enjoy doing it. You won’t regret it.

Another friend had a persistent cough getting over a cold and was given oxycodone in liquid form "to help sleep." She never took it.

Both of these were at major facilities in the Bay Area. Thinking at least some of the blame falls on the docs.

That's useful info. I wonder where they had trouble with erratic steering. One Cruise video shows that where driving is alongside parked cars on a narrow street and the parking is irregular. The self driving vehicle is trying to stay in its half of the street unless absolutely necessary.

Waymo still has to use "safety drivers". So far, nobody seems to have full self driving without "safety drivers". Which makes it useless. That's the big milestone to look for. When Waymo can get rid of the safety drivers, which they tried briefly last year, they're getting close to something useable.

Some products take a long time to bring to market. Xerography - first copy made in 1939, commercial success 1959. Although we're now 15 years after the DARPA Grand Challenge, so we're coming close to that 20 year wait.

Television - first broadcast, 1928, commercial success, around 1948. So 20 years agaon.

Roller bearings - Timken founded 1898, Timken bearings in 80% of US cars by the 1920s. 20 years again. (Although it took a really long time for them to convert railroads. First locomotive with roller bearings, 1923. In 1949, they were struggling to get railroads to put roller bearings on freight cars.[1] In 1991, roller bearings became mandatory for US inter-line interchange of freight cars.) Air brakes and automatic couplers only took 7 years, but that's because the U.S. Congress made railroads convert and standardize between 1893 and 1900.

What took a really long time, in post-1900 technology? (Before 1900, manufacturing infrastructure wasn't really ready for fast deployment.)

This isn't an answer, but an observation. I taught an EE course many years ago -- the second semester of electrodynamics. This was after being a college math major, and getting a physics degree.

It doesn't shock me that there are holes. I noticed that some math topics are very important to engineering and physics coursework, but given short shrift in the math department. Examples are the way that complex numbers are used, and specific kinds of differential equations such as the general harmonic oscillator.

My college physics coursework actually had its own "math methods" class, intended to fill some of those gaps, and to get us prepared for the higher level physics courses.
