I'm kind of curious how many general-purpose non-technical-HN-type people would want this with the connotation that you would need a signed untampered no-sideloading-allowed device to interact with many apps (such as any multiplayer game, all banking apps, any food ordering or delivery app, etc.), so you're permanently excluded from using or touching a significant amount of the ecosystem.

Identical situation currently plays out on desktop gaming, where anticheat software does not run in WINE or equivalent and you can't connect, and VMs are blocked and will result in bans from multiplayer games, to the point where if you are running normal Windows, you will be removed from the game for having VMware or Docker or anything similar open or running in the background. If you attempt to block these, you are refused service.

There are still some more profitable game franchises (notably Pokemon, Mario, and Call of Duty) according to Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_highest-grossing_media...

But apparently no single "entertainment product" ever earned more.

What's also unique is that all the listed revenue ($10bn for the whole franchise as of now) appears to originate from game sales itself (and perhaps microtransactions as of late), not merchandise, etc. It's reasonable to guess this way is much more profitable.
> Start watching This Old House,

I feel like I must be missing something about this show, because any time in my entire life that I have watched it, it seems to be just small spots of them using some expensive tool to fix some obscure problem.

It never felt deep or cohesive to me. Just random walk throughs of houses that I assume have to be owned by wealthy people to afford all the work being done.

I recently learned that I actually really enjoy The Woodwrights Shop, so maybe it's a similar thing of me just not being old enough to appreciate what they're doing?
The problem everyone is complaining about is that they used to recommend a good mix of content that was actually relevant. Like if you were watching a bunch of comedy videos by one comic it would recommend more of them but also another comic that you would probably enjoy. I don’t know how they did it, maybe it was just based on what other people with similar demographics and interests watched. If it was then they probably broke it when they decided to pop the filter bubbles. Turns out some of those bubbles were useful, they just decided to throw the baby out with the bath water.
Do you know that this year will not be a difficult flu season? Do you know the ramifications of combined flu and COVID-19 infection?

> Sweden, which had a much more liberal policy

I don't see how that follows. In fact the bulk of US cases and deaths right now are happening in states with limited mitigations very much along the lines of what was happening in Sweden. The US has stricter rules in some areas, and most of those (in particular the northeast) are showing much better control of the outbreak than Sweden.

After doing a lot of research, I would recommend Dynadot as the best domain registrar at the moment.

My main criteria were: fair prices without any coupon codes, no-upselling, free whois privacy as standard, most ccTLDs supported, REST API for everything, and at least 15-20 years of history.

> I suppose that price is still worth it - not really

Either it is, or it isn't. From there you can determine whether you should spend your money there or not.

Nintendo isn't stupid, if people stop buying their consoles and manifest wanting just the game for another platform they will eventually do just that; but their large customer base is saying that the price of the console is worth it and Nintendo deems it better that way so it will remain like that.
All of those have incremental costs to reproduce. The variable cost for software is practically zero.

I've read quite a few articles about DOD. I get how DOD is great but there are reasons OOP is still around (surely?)

I suppose I'm still hung up on, what are the benefits of OOP that I'm missing?

It seems like there are reasons OOP is so ingrained. I can see a couple of reasons that are environmental. For instance, OOP is taught in schools because students are often taught to program before they're taught about computer architecture - thus DOD would be lost on them. It would be a huge barrier to entry to introduce cache hit rates as a design concern when people are just learning what a class is (in the current standard model of CS education).

Still, it feels like there are other practical reasons to keep OOP around. Perhaps OOP is the React Native of design patterns - poor performance but quicker to write and add new members to. It does seem like there are also legitimate concerns about refactorability and extensibility of DOD code. Anyone have any more refined ideas here?

If that their point, it wasn't well expressed. It doesn't seem right to call something “a grift” because you chose to treat it like a formality when you could have used it as a good faith engagement to actually try to make it better. That's why I made the Agile comparison — organizations can have positive or pointless adoption without that saying more than “you get out of it what you put into it”.
Also a warning to people watching "This Old House":

The seasoned, professional, competent tradespeople you see on every episode are a nonexistent myth in most areas of the country. Many of the projects they accomplish with relative ease are not practical to the more junior tradespeople you will be able to find, and they will be fantastically expensive if you find the veterans you see on the show.

Presumably someone that noticed that the street is above the house, and there are entrances to the house with higher land on all sides of them? Those both seem like red flags to me.

I'm not sure how much of the water problems are endemic to the type of house and how much are from poor planning and placement by the original architect and builders, but at least some of it looks to be because of poor planning and building.
There is no "the market." To some extent, I agree with you for publicly traded markets.

I do not think it even remotely holds in the illiquid limit of massive-scale private capital investment markets. I would rather that power be wielded by actors exercising public power shaped by institutional constraints than by private actors who can wield it in an arbitrary manner, particularly in the context of a pandemic where there is a huge societal difference between 10 $10 masks and 100 $1 ones.
The ‘Laws of War’ serve different purposes than the law of policing.
Feigning outrage that soldiers are prohibited from something police are not, or vice versa, is silly.

Some — but not all — of the differences arise from a general principle that the use of weapons in war is to remove enemy soldiers from the battlefield. A wounded enemy soldier requires far more enemy resources than a dead enemy soldier.

Police are different. If they are going to shoot it should be in circumstances where there is an immediate threat to their own (or another’s) life. The threat should be so imminent and deadly that multiple shots without consideration of whether the perp will likely die or merely be injured is the rule. Stated differently, if a cop has the time and presence of mind to ‘shoot at a leg’, he shouldn’t be taking the shot in the first place.

>n our study we were looking for antibodies to the 1918 flu. This flu virus was reconstructed a number of years ago in the lab, so we were able to test to see if 90 years later we could still find antibodies. I recruited survivors, people who were born in 1915 or earlier and thus presumably survived the 1918 flu. We found that virtually all the people born in 1915 or earlier — about 90% of them — had good "titers" to the 1918 flu, which means they still had reasonably high concentrations of the antibodies in their blood, whereas among controls, people who were born in 1926 or later, it was only about 10%. That was really quite a remarkable finding.

The most important words in this are the near-last words:

"What becomes less fun is the after-building part of running the business."

So many of us want to turn our hobbies into side-hustles, or even full companies. But once the "new" feeling wears off, or we finish building the product, it's just business. It's ALL business.

When your hobby becomes a job, a problem, a customer support problem day in and day out, the fun is gone.

I had games in the app stores. I started an escape room business. I tried to make what I love my job, and that all turned out to be "not fun" anymore.

So, now I'm trying to focus on game making, escape room building, etc, as a side project that I can share with friends and others for free and then just shut it down if it's not fun. I'll keep developing websites and being bored when I need to make money.
I agree, it was a simple afternoon project on a down day where I didn't have much to do client wise.

> those expert epidemiologists didn't do much better.

How did you arrive at this assessment? I've been following this since the end of January, and every expert I've heard gave sound and very good advise based on the available evidence at that time. Some of them might have made some disputable trade-offs, for example the Swedish lead epidemiologist, but overall there was a lot of agreement and the recommendations were excellent.

Okay, maybe there are a few outlier countries like the US and Brazil where there might have been political muddling of the expert messages. Be that as it may, in general the advice from experts was not only good, most countries also succeeded in controlling the spread of the virus based on it. (And not every country needs to implement the same measures to be successful in that, it's more about a mix that works in that country.)

> If water pools against the house, it will get in, guaranteed. The design has to prevent any pools from forming.

I still have a somewhat wet basement which has a field stone foundation. But I used to have really bad problems because water would come down off a hill and run down my gravel driveway and eventually pour into my basement.

Tried various things including drainage work around the house but it pretty much just silted up with sandy soil. The thing that ultimately mostly fixed the problem is a neighbor in heavy construction put some 12" drainage pipes under my driveway to divert runoff to a big open field that doesn't flow down to my house.

I still get some water with heavy rain and saturated ground but it's manageable now.

from what I've seen, you have your order wrong--get the loan before you tear down the old place, unless you have enough money to secure the loan yourself. I've known several people here who started the teardown first, and then tried to get a loan, at which point the bank told them no because the property, with no house on it any longer, was no longer worth enough to secure the loan.

The Viking era was only about a thousand years ago (vs Neanderthals who died about 35,000 years ago). It's highly unlikely they weren't completely modern humans in every sense of the word.

If there were populations with significant relict Neanderthal DNA, you'd be looking at more like the Celt/Gaul populations, and talking at least a thousand years before that -- think the British isles, before the Angles/Saxons moved in. And even that is very... speculative history.
