Thanks. A guy called Dave Sibert was for years the full time paid FBU rep for fire safety. He played a major role in blocking changes to the Furniture Regs, which would have hugely reduced flame retardants. It was pretty common knowledge he was in the pay of the industry; indeed, Matt Wrack of the FBU finally sacked Sibert for colluding with industry. The guy is a sociopath: he was actually prolonging a situation that poisons his own people on a daily basis, for personal profit.
Look up Pandemic or Forbidden Island for examples of cooperative games that put players against the game instead of each other.
as the article points out the game was in particular desgigned to show the economic effects of private land rent, hence the original title 'the landlord's game', and that is in fact a zero sum game as they aren't making any more of it.

And in particular on tech websites like these people vastly overstate how non 'zero-sum' economic activity actually is mostly because tech has been in a bubble of highly anomalous growth. (A lot of it ironically arguably not real productivity growth but rent collection through platforms and market power).

In many ways the tech startups of today look more like digital landlords than innovators whose disruption is primarily taking over the market from a host of competitors rather than improving process efficiency. If we were living in Fordist times and the assembly line and other innovations delivered 6-7% growth annually, then we could rave on about non-zero sum economies. Total factor productivity growth these days is relatively non-existent.

In my experience, the best documentation usually starts with a section called "Concepts" or something similar.

Beyond some simple floor of complexity, starting by elucidating the high-level concepts you're dealing with is really important to convey understanding. Too many docs jump straight from the introduction into the technical minutiae. The doc writer often takes for granted all the implicit mental models they've built up from repeatedly hacking on the underlying system. Without those mental models, the technical details are just meaningless facts that the user's never going to retain.

Great documentation starts by carefully explaining the core concepts not just from the system, but from the problem domain itself. This builds up a common vocabulary that allows for precision, non-ambiguity, and clarity throughout the rest of the documentation.

High priority, low severity: Your program at one point displays an uninitialized value, which consistently shows "BadDon". You are conducting a demo tomorrow that is make-or-break for your startup. You're pitching to a guy named "Don".

It seems to me that string theory was the right idea, wrong implementation.

After all, Microsoft is building their quantum computing efforts around TQFTs, which are essentially what string theory is about — “(quasi)particles” are a tangle of the underlying field, and interactions are the results of those tangles interacting.

I’m pretty sure we’ve measured anyons and other quantum vortex knotting behavior in everything from photons to matter waves.

Then loop quantum gravity is trying to implement many of these same ideas, to reduce all of it to different tangle modes in the same field.
I participated in the drafting of these tenets along with several others. Many years later, I'm pleased by how much I still like them.

That assumes you have the means, the knowledge, and the time, to go through a build step.

What you find to be clean code might go the opposite way for someone (i.e. why would I use scss if utils are all I need?).

You might work with large scale apps where BEM may make more sense. You might work on a site builder where utils might be better. You might be creating splash pages for marketing purposes where going for element selectors may be enough.

This is a terrible point of view, you must be really young and have very little understanding of investing. You can still experience life and invest/save money.

For example, if you have money saved up and excellent credit you sit on the cash and wait for a crash. During the crash you purchases houses, apartment buildings....this would actually allow you to build wealth. I know people who bought manufacturing equipment during 2008 crash for scrap value.

Plus, not everyone who is wealthy wants to be a rockstar. It is such an ignorant opinion, people may have much greater goals in life and money might just be a byproduct.

One of the biggest long term risks for Amazon's retail business is that they don't really have a moat. They can beat people logistically, but eventually, other companies will catch up, and there's probably a diminishing returns effect on money poured into that. They have Amazon Prime, which was probably created to try to be a moat, but I think they've had more difficulty making that a moat over the long term than they may have initially hoped. Why would I pay for faster shipping if Wal-Mart pretty much offers it by default? Tacking on a lot of mediocre streaming services is a weird way to add value to that.

(AWS has a lock-in moat. Once you're in, you will find it harder and harder to leave over time. True of all the clouds, but that plays in favor of the biggest which at the moment AWS is.)

If you look, you can kinda see a lot of flailing on Amazon's part over the past several years trying to figure out how to build a moat around their retail in a lot of ways; Amazon Basics, various games around Prime, trying to convince people to buy retail through Alexa which is hard-coded to Amazon, of course, etc. Almost everything the retail side is doing amounts to that in the end.

I see a potential issue if you were cloned while in uterus, making the other person potentially a twin with months difference in age, but not an actual twin because you did not share the same uterus or biological mother. So in the future, in the case you run into that person, there might be a chance of some temporary confusion/distress between you.

We've seen some movies in which ETs all look the same to us. They are like clones to our eyes. So maybe this is something that already inhabits our deeper imagination, and wouldn't be that bad if someday it happens to our kind. Who knows...
> So it's all about revenge,

It's not simply just about revenge, as I noted in my comment, about there's a hundred examples outside of jail including zoning laws where we're taking this same good-intentions approach to solving the problems we see and having either nothing happen to things leaving us worse off.

The fundamental problem is fear-driven policy making by people who think they know what's best for a community and having zero tolerance for the natural chaos that is natural to society.

The more we try to tamper that chaos and create an endless series of laws without thinking (or grasping) the unintended side-effects the more this will keep happening.

I think plenty of the worst stuff in our societies results from our creations, often from idealistic attempts to make the world a better place, which in fact have had the opposite effect.

Every time we create a new law or ban something or get vindictive we need to think back to all of the times that didn't work or had the complete opposite effect.

Cities and life worked better in the post-war 1950s because we didn't have a thousand laws and projects running simultaneously trying to make the world a better place. It embraced the chaos naturally, before the NIBMY brigades and busy-bodies created a system where "they know what's best for other people" when they really didn't

For example, when the "hippies" started smoking weed, people freaked out, but maybe it really wasn't the end of the world causing all of our problems. They were normal kids just like their parents going through a phase. Then the billions we put into stopping it has left us worse off.

Likewise we need to at what other moral panics (and lesser pancis) resulted in systems that are hurting us.

I don't know exactly what the solution is but I feel like as a society we need to take a good hard look at the various systems we put in place since the post-WW2 decades and ask if it's really made the world a better place.

The highest priority of all in the US (IMO) is prison reform since that is the population numbers are the glaring massive difference that other western countries don't have. And they don't have super violent cities like the US does and maybe there's a cause and effect here, or at a minimum the vindictive nature of it all is doing nothing to actually help the problem.

The second priority is the myriad of drug laws which have so obviously backfired, then our backwards approach to building/housing which has become a massive problem in every urban area in the country.

We need to embrace the chaos again and stop trying to control every little detail like we know what's best for other people.
You are presuming that as a designer of the Caddy you understand how the non-single-VM customers are running their infrastructure.

Here's a typical problem of a distributed entry point system - network partitioning.

* If your key/cert store relies on key servers being always accessible from everywhere, it simply won't work.

* If your solution is to bake a key into a file system, then it is no better than existing nginx implementation.

Basically, if you want your solution to be adopted, it needs to be significantly better than the entrenched ones.
This is one of those spots where I think that Scrum gets things right. Having the ticket priority ultimately belong to a single person (the product owner) sets up a pretty decent incentive structure. It makes it easy for that person to figure out on their own exactly how precise they need to be, and where the precision is needed, in order to get their job done.

When I see over-polishing happening in the wild, it tends to be in response to "too many cooks in the kitchen" type situations. Well, that or procrastination.
Perhaps Firefox should invest more heavily on developer tools then.

That house rule (which is far from universally applied) is a small detail. The game is boring (luck-based, little if any strategy) and unenjoyable in other ways: it takes too long to finish, players who go bust early are left watching the game continue for maybe hours, front-runners are almost certainly going to win yet it takes an excruciatingly drawn-out process to finish the process, etc.
Adding a prize for Free Parking makes the game last longer. Adding more money into the game (in any manner) just serves to lengthen the game.

It was pretty clear that once they’ll become more and more popular things would have to change.

Especially since as you grow you get into a weird point where you can start losing a lot of money for swallowing these refunds but you don’t have enough weight to force publishers to share the costs like Steam does.

Also since GoG has no DRM and no user activity monitoring almost no publisher would agree to participate in refunds.

The thing that the MCU does—that Star Wars has not yet figured out how to do—is have multiple parallel stories that only occasionally intersect. Marvel can release a Guardians, Spider-Man, and Thor movie in the same year because those movies basically have nothing to do with each other.

In contrast, every Star Wars movie is squeezed into a single linear storyline. Lucasfilm has created alt storylines but so far they are all in TV shows, not movies.

Try Acquire instead.

1. All players play to the end.

2. Implicit alliances are setup similar to the stock market. If the "Saxon" company does better, ALL players who own Saxon benefit.

3. Implicit rivalries are setup similar to the stock market. If "Saxon" company is the strongest in the game, the players you have to worry about are the fellow "Saxon" shareholders. Especially the intense fight over who is majority shareholder (and therefore gets the majority bonus at endgame)

4. It is easier to screw opponents over by buying the last share (or holding tiles they need), rather than win the game outright. Implicitly, Acquire relies upon playing well in a social aspect. Generally speaking, scratch the back of weaker players (ex: If a weaker player a minority shareholder in "Worldwide" company, grant them the majority), they might return the favor (ex: the weaker play may make an acquisition play, benefiting all shareholders of "Worldwide". Its better to be minority in "Worldwide" through an acquisition than to be majority in Worldwide but the company doesn't go anywhere).

Note: All companies only have 25 shares. Once the 25 shares are sold, there are no more. You can only purchase 3 shares per turn (maximum, across all companies), meaning the fight for "majority shareholder" is quite intense. You can win vs players with more money by being the first one to buy 13 shares, as an example.

5. You can't sell until a company is acquired. Reaching monopoly status (11-tiles large) means that a company CANNOT be acquired, which means your wealth is now trapped in the monopoly, unable to influence other companies aside from acquiring them. The wealth counts for endgame of course, but small companies grow faster, so its usually better to leave your wealth in the small 1 to 3-tile companies instead. I have lost games because my wealth was trapped in monopolies before, despite being majority shareholder in the largest endgame companies.

------------

Whenever my friends want to play Monopoly, I show them Acquire instead. Its strictly superior. Better tactics, better social interactions, better interactivity for "losing" players (they stay in the game, and often make the final acquisition plays that determine the winner).

"Comeback victories" aren't really a thing, due to the exponential growth of money in acquire. If you fall behind, you fall behind exponentially. But its still nice that everyone still has something to do at the board throughout the game, especially compared to Monopoly. At a minimum, your tiles determine who you can help or hurt, while your shares you own form your rivalries and alliances. You're never "alone" per se, someone else always tries to become at least "minority" shareholder in those other companies with you. So you can rely upon your alliances to advance in the late stages of the game, even if you're behind.

There's still a degree in fun trying to maximize your earnings, even in a losing position IMO.
It depends on how you define "profit"... I have invested $10 for a domain, and if you exclude my development time, I'm making a profit on UnitPrice.org! [0] It's a website that analyzes specific categories of products on Amazon and calculates the best per-unit price. Lego, diapers, toilet paper, K-cups, etc. Obviously your own time is worth something, but it's fun, and despite barely getting any affiliate fees, it's enough to cover the domain name cost! I also use the website personally, so I've saved money on purchases too.

How Low Can #1 Go? (2020 Edition)
Someone needs to make a Socialism game. The state owns all the properties, top politicians embezzle a lot of money; and the game must last at minimum 7 days during which people are given little and crappy food, and forced to work for little money and also work for free in public work.

Ok, let's take 500 J/kg of CO2. Do you think it's a lot? To get 1 kg of CO2 you'll need to process roughly a ton of air. There are ~5e15 tons of air in the atmosphere, so it's 3e18 J to process all the air. We produce annually 75e18 J annually on the planet - can we handle this expense?

I'm afraid it will be more than that - but how much more exactly?
My one recommendation going through the code would be to try and separate the game logic out a bit more. There are things spread between the subs, events and db namespaces that could be abstracted out, and ideally separated from any knowledge of the re-frame db or other external concerns.

This might just be my taste, but quite often I'd like to get to the point that I can unit test all of a game's logic, or even play a version of the game in the REPL, before hooking up what are then very thin subs and event handlers.

Developer knowledge of business needs is rarely on the low end of the spectrum.

For example in the teams I lead I make sure developers participate on PO + stakeholder meetings as observers.

This way when devs fix something or develop a new feature they know first-hand what the business expects.

A nice bonus is that the team often gets personal praises from our clients.
I've been using Tailwind for a year, I love it. I do think the example markup is often way more verbose then it needs to be.

My biggest request would be, making the naming conventions match more closely to CSS property names and Bootstrap 4 names. Once a developer learned the system, if they knew CSS property names they could automatically guess the Tailwind class without looking at the docs. Matching Boostrap 4 whenever its convention, would make it that much easier to convert BS4 sites to Tailwind (and easier to adopt for BS devs). My 2 cents.

Excited for UI. Keep it comin!
I think it's a logistics problem. Perhaps every state could offer a free healthcare option. Private healthcare is available in single-payer countries but you still pay taxes, and in the U.S. health insurance companies have changed the system so that they are always in control and there isn't any real competition for any other insurance. For prices to go down there should be real competition for these services, but I don't see that anywhere. Either government fully controls and taxes, or private companies control the government and in turn the market.
