What's even wilder is that in the recent primaries (both 2020 and 2016) of the "left" party a major argument was that this system is so awesome that it must be protected at all costs, even if moving to something like single-payer would be cheaper while covering more people [1].

LoL is also an amazing spectator sport, the format is so fun to watch. OverWatch/CS-GO/Valorant/Fortnite etc... the FPS aspect is a harder to follow especially for people with slower eye movement.

Lol on the other hand, its like watching Soccer/Golf/Football except the players also have magic/hi-tech abilities. The "depth" of the strategy is also sooo much more than an FPS. flex picks, lane swaps, lane freezing , meta shifts, (also mechanics but that spans across all esports).

Then theres also the music division, that collaborates with mega pop stars in korea/us/south america
Be clear to the kids that they don't have permissions to spend money in apps, then systematically request for refund and charge back if the app doesn't refund you.

Apps have no basis to deceive children into spending money. Most of their practices are outright illegal depending on the jurisdiction (latin Europe), shouldn't have mercy on them.
this is kinda brilliant.

Yeah, this is super valid.
I totally agree with Icaza's points and they are the reason I'm still an Apple happy customer but there's another side to this that of all the players that could fight Apple it just happened that Epic was the first one to gather momentum (and have the actual balls). What I am saying is that it's a bullies fight and just because the one pointing fingers is an old dirty bully at the school yard we can't ignore the uncompetitive bully Apple is right now. It's easy to forget this after all the arguments of the article.

"those 30 numbers all end in a 0, 2, 5, 7, or 9. The chances of this happening by chance are effectively 0."

What are the odds of those 30 numbers all ending in some numbers in a random set of 5 single-digit numbers?

Also, considering all the numbers in the Bible, what are the odds that some arbitrarily chosen set of them will contain some sort of unusual pattern?
I am not a lawyer, but as an entrepreneur I've had to send-and-receive a lot of legal documents with investor's lawyers, almost exclusively in .docx.

I never trust the received file's "track changes", always compare to the latest version I've sent -- and it is extremely common to find a change that wasn't mentioned/discussed, and somehow magically "accepted" or otherwise not tracked in the other side's "track changes". Whenever I point these out, I always got a "oh, yes, forgot about that one", or "I didn't intend to put that in" or "I'm not sure why it didn't appear in the track-changes view" -- but out of tens of these (with multiple lawyers over multiple years), not one was ever in my favor.

Branching might not be as interesting on a single project - but diffing is, very much; and I'm sure it's not more coveted mostly because most lawyers either (a) don't realize how good it makes life for you when you can diff and blame easily, or (b) are abusing the fact that it is so hard to diff/blame on documents, and certainly (c) usually charge by the hour, so some efficiencies are actually going to cost them money if they implement them (a famous Upton Sinclair quote comes to mind).

Most of these "managers" are just farmhands like the workers. They are there to be the point of contact with the rest of the cattle, do the dirty work of enforcing whatever they were told and to accomplish that they resort to what they "know", which is micro-managing and fear.

The less popular part of this whole thing is that the "quality" of the workers at this particular plant is less than "optimal" let's just leave it at that, and that issue is general knowledge since the beginning.

Exactly. One of the really bad things about US health insurance is that you dont know how bad it is until you have a John-Q type event (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Q.) or a difficult pregnancy or a surgery.

Healthy people go in for annual visits and think "wow, this is great" not knowing what exception scenarios are like. Then people vote for politicians who uphold the status quo thinking everything is fine.

> You can kind of see how this playerbase would differ from, say, the usual singleplayer or co-op indie or puzzle game.

Oh yes. I must say, these days I hate playing multiplayer game modes with leaderboards attached.

Relevant to this thread: I used to play Heroes of the Storm (Blizzard's LoL clone) causally with friends. Then one day a colleague dragged me into his team, full of people dozens of levels above me (and otherwise experienced progamers). That was one stressful evening where I could tell everyone hated the noob that was me. My reflexes were OK, but my "meta" wasn't.

I never played a game of HotS with that colleague again.

I mean, seriously, I want to play games where one can excel in out-thinking the opponent. But HotS progaming feels more like an exercise in memorizing obscure game mechanics and a (constantly changing) Excel sheet full of character stats.

There is a massive gaming industry in Poland. From discussions with engineers/Devs/designers in that field, they are overworked, management doesn't know what they want, objectives/deliverables/requirements change on the fly (while schedule/cost stays the same). Then fast-tracking happens (no crashing - no extra funds).

For most of the issues they made me believe that it's a halo effect. People that were great designers/devs/other became managers (and bad project managers) and then confusion ensues.

Anyone from Polish game scene can please give better insight?
It might be part of the explanation, but I think it's also cultural. People just don't care about good teeth here the same way that they seem to in the US. Or rather: they have a different idea of what good teeth are. If your teeth are actually black or rotting or missing, then that's seen as bad. But a little crooked or yellow is mostly seen as normal.
This might be a desperate attempt at saying "hey but we do have PUBG!" but OTOH 80% of Fortnite players are on console vs PUBG has 40% of players on mobile [1].

My point being that if PUBG is much more popular that Fortnite on iOS it would only be natural that Apple would want to promote it. I have no idea if that's the case though.

Yes, you can export all your content as a .muse bundle — which you can rename to a .zip and unzip to get all the source data.

Also, even after your subscription ends, you will still have access to your content (and to the export feature) indefinitely. You just can’t create new cards (as long as you have more than 100).

It’s really important to us that your data isn’t locked into Muse, not by the data format and not by a subscription requirement.

I completely understand the argument here, but the problem is that there is no other option. I think that there is a middle ground here if Apple allowed users or apps (i.e. a secondary app store) to install other apps without going through the Apple app store. If you want to stay in Apples walled-garden you have that choice, otherwise, install your own apps.

There are arguments about how well this works in the Android ecosystem, but I think that simply having the ability to do it, even if inconvenient is a world of difference than being beholden to a single entity. Imagine if Windows only allowed you to install apps from its app store. You could make all the same arguments that it should be able to do this just as you would for the Apple store.
It's extremely difficult in Riot's case to separate the content they make from the culture of their company, and I agree with you that it's not really possible to do.

I never said they should be prohibited from policing content merely that if they are capable of policing content they should be held liable for content on their platform like every other publisher.

There is no reason to give these censorious companies extra legal protections no other publisher has if they are censoring society. They have been protected by a regulation that is now causing intense centralizing of power in the hand of a few technocrats and it is actively harmful to the rest of society to so empower them over everyone else.

It is operationally impractical that society should be subject to Google's whims but Google not liable for Google's network content.

There's an old idea called "front running". Back when the stock market was based on pieces of paper being passed around, you could hear something useful/valuable and literally outrun the other person to make a profitable trade.

To understand the equivalent in Ethereum you need to understand 3 things:
1. All transactions require something called "gas" which is based on the complexity of the transaction. The simplest transfer is 21,000 and seriously complicated tasks can go up to millions (11 million-ish is the cap now)
2. Miner's get to decide which transactions go in the blocks they mine. They get the fees associated with those transactions, so they pick the most profitable.
3. You don't get to decide how much gas your transaction uses, but you do get to decide how much Ether you're willing to spend per unit of gas, e.g. gasPrice of 3 Gwei(1/1,000,000,000 of an Ether) means you multiply your 21,000 gas transaction by .000000003 and that's how much Ether the miner gets for including your transaction.

Net Result:
Right now on Ethereum Mainnet 100 Gwei is standard, so I see you have a transaction waiting where you offered 100 Gwei. I just swap out my address instead of yours and offer 200 Gwei. Now a miner will pick up my transaction first because they get twice the profits for the exact same amount of work.

With the exception of streamers with a substantial regular audience, people taking active part in social justice events, and devs lucky enough to work on lively community projects, average people in my peer group have not started organically bonding into bands of Paleolithic hunter-gatherers of the information superhighway.

I’m not a ham but I totally agree with the old guard on rejecting digital. MAKING your own equipment is an essential aspect of why amateur radio is worth preserving — it makes the network very resilient. In a world where digital electronics become very hard to acquire, hams can still maintain essential communication by tearing out components from microwaves and landfills. No such chance if everyone’s dependent on RTL-SDR chips from eBay.

If ham radio goes digital then it’s just people wasting spectrum on something they could be doing on the Internet.

4 breaks a day isn't either enough or too much in general-- it's very job and industry dependent.

Refusing to provide breaks is illegal, true, but it's trivially easy to legally force employees to take many fewer than they're entitled. Amazon employees in FCs don't piss in bottles because they're very into logistic efficiency of picking...

True, there will always be entities that abuse understandings, employer and employee. The thing is, corporations are superentities with monopsonic power. Employees are units, discouraged from communicating, with limited time in a day to make complaints or study potential improvements to working condition (or law, for that matter).

Unions are a method for setting up a superentity that has the bargaining, informational, and legal power to have a more equal footing with the corporate superentity.

Particularly when Unions have substantial ownership of the company, they have no specific wish to lose dues-paying members or make the company fail.

Ethereum or some other cryptocurrency will likely be the 'glucose' of future AI organisms.

I'm excited (and slightly terrified) to consider a future where autonomous agents rent compute time to host themselves, provide 'services' autonomously within the cloud to earn funds, and then periodically reproduce by splitting their wallet and moving it to a new host. Add in the ability to mutate (or even hire humans to implement directed mutations), and I think this hits all the requirements for my definition of 'what is a living organism'.

> Do not break things that work. Do not change what doesn't need changing.

Exactly. Things don't work, the only way to fix it is to change it. It has a few negative consequences but they're already here and standing still won't make it better. If OSs start having the features needed, the control will return. But as long as some people are dragging their feet, throwing tantrums, ignoring the large majority for which it's a positive change, it's going to be a tiresome long process.
You sound pretty well informed, so I'm genuinely curious - what's the "killer app" of smart contracts? What use case do they fulfill that the traditional financial system just falls flat on?
> When your employer is shouldering $20k in health insurance premiums without really telling you, it's easy to feel like the costs aren't a problem.

Yes and this makes it really suck if you happen to be a sole proprietor or self employed.

It's over $500 a month here to get insurance for a single adult for the absolute most basic insurance possible with the worst possible service you can expect.

I don't understand how society puts up with this. It's not that just the service is horrible and massively over priced but it's a torturous experience just to interact with anything related to medical insurance. Like having to wait 30 minutes on hold or spending weeks trying to resolve things, or spending a month trying to find a doctor who even takes your insurance, etc..

Suddenly instead of getting the best treatment plan for your issue, it becomes a game of trying to extort you for doing the minimum amount of work while making sure you pay as much as possible out of pocket while already paying for insurance.

And then on top of that, it's like btw, $500 / month please or you run the risk of being bankrupt if you step foot inside of a hospital for anything that's non-trivial.
I cannot even find words how revolting this is.
