Nearly all grocers in England (Asda, Tesco, Sainsburys, Morrions) will have a weekly offer on crates, you can nearly always find 20 crates of stella for 20 quid (20x400mlx2). I guess these aren't available in Scotland? You only really pay over a fiver a four pack when you're in a rush at the co-op or tesco express, if you're in the big store you'll change 4 stella to four kroneberg for 3.29 or whatever similar, on mainstream lagers anyway
>But now this court have effectively destroyed my freedom to make this choice as a customer

To frame the idea that you don't have ownership of something you purchase as a freedom is some truly Orwellian spin on the term. You still have all the freedoms you had before, if you don't want to sell your games don't sell them.

Giving customers proper ownership rights over the goods they purchase is not freedom diminishing, what has the world come to where you frame giving up control or ownership as freedom?

Another problem is that the court probably means that you can resell games for real currency. Currently you can buy games with the Steam currency, which means that reselling games is a legit method of piping out real currency from Steam.

I agree, the court's argument doesn't make much sense. It can only result in various work arounds, for example making everything subscription based which most customers don't really want.
Another work around could be selling per computer license -you will have to pay for using it on every new computer. It's not something anyone wants.

If your job is making you unhappy, therapy will just be a band-aid. The solution is to quit and find something better to do.
Correct. I make a fair bit of money and I honestly don’t even look at prices at the grocery store unless it’s specialty item (like a nice Champagne or something, but even then I barely glance at the price.) These little sin taxes are more about raising government revenue than actually changing behavior. For example, if we really thought the government should intervene with smoking, why not just ban cigarettes? It’s because government has gotten addicted to the taxes collected.
Yes, that was the start of it for me, seeing that going on while understanding exactly how much BS it was at the time. Then the 2016 elections (and constant fumbling to get any story right since) and this finished the job.
It’s not just about direct combat, being constantly alert for danger for long periods is inherently unhealthy. That might focus on IED’s, shelling, snipers, or just starting at the jungle looking for hidden soldiers but war is stressful. And such long term stress can cause seemingly mundane triggers.

Even going back to Roman legions you can read accounts where the expectation of future combat causes problems for people in fortifications.

PS: One change is explosives can cause brain injuries that are less obvious, but tend to get lumped into the same general category. That really started with WWI, but it’s still a real issue.

Unlike horoscopes, where a computer wouldn't be able to predict a person's "sign" from e.g. tweet data any more often than chance, generations really do work as a predictor for some behaviors (or vice-versa.)

Think of it this way: if 10% of every other generation does X, but 40% of a particular generation does X, then that generation really should be known for doing X, even though the majority of members of that generation don't do X! Don't let the easy availability of anecdotal counterexamples to a trend fool you; a trend in a population is a trend even if not literally everyone in that population is a part of it.

Of course, there might well be a better way to divide up the population that serves as a better predictor for the trend, and so "explains away" the generational effect. E.g. changes in racial composition (and so culture) due to immigration over the years; or growth of subcultures as self-reinforcing memetic entities, apart from any generational proclivity toward them; or economic effects pushing people to have different emotional needs (e.g. a change in gender-balance of the workforce will see different types of businesses created to offer self-care to tired workers.)

But, by another lens, all these other effects are "part of" the generational effect; they're the composition of the narrative the generation will tell about itself, and so be remembered for.

It's not like legitimat-ish email marketing will suddenly switch to scammers or illegal spam, they would actually get in trouble for violations. Companies that don't rely on scams aren't desperate enough to risk getting fined for such a weak lead (I'd hope).

Not that I'll ever configure my email client to automatically download images, as far as I'm concerned downloaded images is just making your email address more valuable to the spammer by confirming you got it.

> It seems that nowadays it is more common to get one of those ailments.

Is it? It seems to me that PTSD is just more common than what people once thought, and that, nowadays, it's treated more seriously.

It's not like military trauma was unknown "back in the day" - https://www.ptsd.va.gov/understand/what/history_ptsd.asp

> During World War I, treatment was varied. Soldiers often received only a few days' rest before returning to the war zone. For those with severe or chronic symptoms, treatments focused on daily activity to increase functioning, in hopes of returning them to productive civilian lives. In European hospitals, "hydrotherapy" (water) or "electrotherapy" (shock) were used along with hypnosis.

Those soldiers who marched day in, day out, while eating rats, or who were bombarded more than 24 hours by artillery, or who saw millions die around them? They probably brought PTSD back home with them.
Browser extensions are executable JS. That is a huge vector for security and privacy issues (you should be extremely selective about which browser extensions you install). This new method is basically a list of regexs that Safari itself runs against the contents of the page. No 3rd party code is executed, so it's not possible for an extension to, for instance, report back on your browsing habits or steal your login credentials.
> Valve’s defence hinged on the argument that Steam sells game licenses – subscriptions – to games, not the games themselves.

IANAL but buying a license seems different to me than buying a subscription, and if you ask most Steam users they will tell you that they do the former not the latter. (In fact I have never seen the word subscription on their store, though I guess it is somewhere in their EULA).

If they go that way they may have to change their wording and that will also change the perception that people have of the platform: if I'm subscribing to a service the price I'm willing to pay to access (not buy) the games will probably much lower.

It may be better for them to just keep people thinking that the own the games forever (even though we know in practice this is probably not be true).

I'm wondering if instead they could just set themselves as the middleman for the used game market, since they already have all the infrastructure needed. In this way at least both steam and the publisher could get a cut.

> we need to ask ourselves whether the future society we want to live in is one which constantly watches its citizens – or, more likely, one in which citizens are never totally sure when, how and by whom they’re being watched.

First, digital behavior is already being 24/7 surveiled. Authorities and corporations only need to extend this to when there is no digital device available with the subject.

But the real danger is that if nobody knows for sure when, how and by whom, then everyone will be forced to assume that it's every time, by every means and by everyone.

And in top of that there is the problem of never being able to truly be forgotten (soft delete). So you lose the motivation to commit mistakes, engage in theoric or philosophical conversations, criticise ahd inovate unless you're going the same direction of status quo.

To me, code with terse variables are much more readable since it's much easier to keep track of the variables when scanning the code. When I read that piece of code above, I didn't try to ascertain meaning from the variable names which, it's arguable whether I (or anyone) should or not since coders can assign variables arbitrary names.

There is no need for generalization, there are many people in the community that respect and enjoy other languages, and most people also frequently use Python and R for most things that Julia is still not mature enough.

But it's certainly hard sometimes for people who learned of powerful non mainstream languages, having to see people putting an amazing amount of resources and effort to provide every functionality to mainstream less powerful languages that would be almost free in said powerful language (be it syntax extensions with macros, high performance dynamic code without using FFI, parallelism, better compile-time checking...). It's probably what Lisp users had to deal with for 60 years now. Or more recently people who learned Rust but still have to deal with a world of C++.
But language isnt that rigid. Stopping at a red light and stopping during a marathon imply different types of stopping. Im not sure how you can claim Daimler means the marathon type and not the red light type.
The thorny issue is C++ templates, which are instantiated in a complicated way that depends on C++ syntax. You can't "just" compile and link Boost in (as you'd do with a C library). You have to compile a fragment of C++ source code for every line of Rust code that uses a Boost template, and you have to translate Rust code used in template arguments to valid C++ code, so that template substitutions will be valid.

This seems doable for simple cases, but libraries like Boost push templates to their limits, so they're not the easy cases.
My main issue with the site is that in my browser i get the mobile version instead of the desktop since i do not use my browser maximized (i have a 1366x768 monitor). Isn't there any other way to figure out if i use a mobile phone instead of using the horizontal resolution?
It's easy: find a niche which is too small for Google or any other large company to bother with. There are plenty of those, especially if you look for something tied to the physical world (serving real businesses around you) and if you avoid the SV echo chamber (which means HN much of the time, too). In other words, don't try to be another Google, Facebook, Uber, or Bird. Do something specialized.

So you would blame the US for cold war? What would you have done instead?

Before cold war, there was WWII, and communist revolutions.

I don't want to defend any particular war, I just think it may all be a bit more complicated than a simple "we shouldn't have started any wars".
Agreed. But therapy often aint cheap. I don’t doubt that tech workers get stressed and seekntherapy. People in other industry also suffer through anxiety and other issues. Probably many (most?) low wage job sectors are even worse for the pressures felt by workers. But tech pays well, so you have the greater privledge there to be able to afford therapy. and so a lot of tech people go to therapy. (As almost anyone could benefit from if they can afford it)
It reduces freedom to make the following deal: "you get it cheaper but you can't resell it". It seems it also forces Steam to do work (implement code to move licenses to another account, support the new customer as after every resale it's likely there will be more support work etc.). It definitely reduces freedom of contract and imo in the wrong way. I prefer to buy software cheaper and don't worry about reselling it later. If resell value is included in price I will just be subsidizing people who do resell their games.

I disagree with coining a different term to make it more socially acceptable. Therapist being generic is useful for keeping mental health issues under a single blanket and preventing other people from easily figuring out what you're going there for. This is similar to how going to a doctor could range from doing your yearly check up to following up on a possibly fatal issue.

The real solution is the one we've already been pushing for and have had a great amount of success over the years, which is to treat mental health issues with the same importance as physical health issues.

"I always wonder if people were tougher before, when death, blood, violence were much more common (< 100years ago: famines, wars, diseases, life conditions, crimes in general)."

I actually think this is a fairly unique circumstance in modern days. In this case, these are people who are exposed to daily violence that they cannot do anything about and are asked to mentally analyze the degree of violence and circumstances of this violence. People are being forced to engage with and analyze horrific stuff they have to see for hours a day.

Before this, we saw similar trauma with police investigators tasked with analyzing horrific crimes. The Farming Of Bones covers the long, generational trauma of the Parsely Massacre in Dominican Republic/Haiti before that.

I highly doubt that your exposure to 4chan gore was equivalent to the scale of consistent, hours-a-day exposure of these folks.

> people were tougher before

Sort of, in exactly the same way that people were "tougher" before the invention of antibiotics and would suffer through, live with, and routinely die from diseases instead of seeking treatment.

What actually happened, of course, is that we started looking at issues like PTSD as real mental health conditions that can be treated and discussed, instead of irrelevant mental issues we were supposed to "get over" or ignore. Basically, your attitude sounds like someone claiming that PTSD doesn't really exist, and people shouldn't claim to have it. And that doesn't seem very informed, honestly.

Now, I know you'll reply that lots of people who claim to have PTSD or other mental health conditions probably don't. Which is true. But the same is true of all sorts of other conditions, and we don't tend to see posts like yours talking about people not being "tough" because they whine senselessly to their doctor for an hydrocodone or Ambien prescription.
the workers arent the problem and therapy isnt the answer - workers shouldn’t feel afraid to set boundaries to prevent being exploited or abused.

The issue here is "relating to their products and services". Per GDPR, the consent can not be "bundled". When you signup for an account you consent to communications about your account only and things like product updates or tips for using product should be under their own explicit consent.

Most email marketing service providers don't even support multi-interest opt-out page, or charge a lot for configuring your unsubscribe page this way (like a multiple of list size for each option gasp), so this makes it impossible for email recipients to choose what emails types to opt-out of so marketers in turn don't bother to collect unbundled consent.
