Well, for starters, now funds can be allocated to preserve software and hardware that are necessary to keep experiencing the demoscene. Demoscene releases will be archived and - likely - added to secure vaults.

50, 100 or 500 years from now, the ones coming after us now have a better chance to experience Equinox, or Fairlight, or Melon Dezin the same way we today experience Brügel, or Dürer, or Cezanne. School classes will analyze the hacks necessary for a parallax scroller, and be eternally bored of it. And some enthusiasts will copy the techniques.

It's not a bad thing, especially given the demoscene is bot extremely creative and absolutely nonexistant on today's art market, so will likely have disappeared with the demosceners in 20-50 years.

>What about those who work on oil rigs, or in mines, or on fishing boats, or providing humanitarian services in a war zone?

Most of the people working on boats or in mines don't have a chance to risk their healt in finance.
It's the best paying opportunity that is possiple for them.
>I think we can all agree China is a horrible dictatorship, how exactly can we stop financing it, since we rely so much on their factories?

Build a second set of factories in a different country.
I'm not sure I'd use it, but that sounds amazing.
Hmmmmmmm! I didn't know about Feigenbaum's constant.

That is interesting and mysterious...
Sometimes getting noticed once and having your email on the list is enough.
If you block a website sending you Chrome notifications it blocks notifications for all your Chrome installations, including your phone.

If you turn notifications off for Chrome everywhere you won't see Chrome web notifications anywhere.

If you're talking about some other way websites can send notifications to your phone then I don't think that has anything to do with Chrome. And I can't think of what mechanism you're talking about.
You mean something like SnapCam?
I have the impression that FSD will be acceptable only when the large majority of other cars on the street also have FSD.
That is a clever indicator, although the muscle-car generation is passing on, so less demand. Similar to the Model A/Model T crowd 30 years ago.

Another classic indicator is when your cab driver gives you stock tips.

But I figure now it's Uber driver giving crypto tips.
In fact, if the people with money are spending it, that’s GOOD for the economy and benefits you and I more than if they’re just sitting on it.
> To be fair, the clients are paying the banks tens or hundreds of millions of dollars for this work. And the work is time sensitive--a bond offering today may price differently from one tomorrow.

I get that, even though though the closest I've come is having a banker struggle to keep it civil as I passed on the message that no we couldn't just fudge the asset valuation after the client admitted at the last minute they'd supplied us with an incorrect detail, and no our analysts were going to do it tomorrow, not this evening. But as they stood to earn four orders of magnitude more than we did from them and actually had more competition they weren't in the same position to tell the client that we weren't going to drop everything to rectify their error.

I thought the division of labour problem was more of an issue than a salary at the entry level though, not so much because a pitchbook can't be handed to a suitably qualified employee on a different continent to finish but because they don't trust that setup. Dividing the pie between more senior bankers is obviously going to cause consternation, but surely a few extra graduate analysts isn't going to dramatically affect Goldman's bottom line, especially if they can cut those entry level salaries a bit and still retain more?

You can get a JSON representation now too. Figured that out with Safari bookmarks .webloc. They’re basically plist files and used plutil to convert it to JSON
> "Our mission proved that micromanagement does not work, except where a situation like lift-off or re-entry demands it," says Ed. "Fortunately, that hard lesson got passed on for future space flights and crews."

I can think of a few people I've worked for who never learned this.
Buying dumb shit is the sort of experience the rich can afford that puts such a perspective on life that allows you to then shoot for more fufilling goals/works/community. All the fairy tales in the world arent going to teach you better than living the experience of excess.
If you said this about fraternities, everyone would ridicule you for hours. I don’t think the technological progression of the navy would have been hindered if we had had a nicer working environment.
The one child policy is an example of a highly organized authoritarian society making a big, potentially fatal mistake, because no real debate with genuine dissent could be had.

That said, it is possible that China will reverse this self-made problem by developing and mandating use of artificial wombs or something similar. Authoritarian societies do not have many ethical scruples when it comes to problem solving.
Strongly agree. I dislike these menus as a reader, and never use them when I design web sites.
In that line of argument, we should destroy historic monuments and art museums, because they hold back art, and any building older than 30 years, because they hold back modern architecture.

Preserving something good does not mean not accepting new developments. And sometimes, especially with architecture, "something good" can be an ensemble of stuff - e.g. you don't put a modernist glass/steel building on the town square of a picturesque medieval town.
How Should Restaurants Pay Their Servers? Well, It's Complicated
One way to get more out of people is well, to pay more. Another way is to treat them better. Yet another way is to abuse them, but I would think that would only work for people who don't really have any other options in life, and you do run into the problem of turnover when people quit, so you pay for it anyway, although I'm not sure how the military works - can you just quit and go work as a civilian? I can immediately find another job that pays at least as much as my current job if my boss were to start abusing me, for example. If you can't quit the military then it does start making sense to me. The people who stay justify their life choices by characterizing the people who leave as being weak, but those people simply had better options.

I don't think building a stressful/abusive culture is necessary to get the best out of people. Great people have been produced without such structures, although some people can be coerced into greatness, so it is a way, but not something I'd want to deal with nor is that the kind of culture I would want to build if I were in charge.
> No wonder so many people are eager to bring out the pitchforks. Is this the behaviour we expect from our most successful?

Is this behavior representative of the most successful? This article appears to have been compiled by looking for some of the most egregious examples of ridiculous things to buy, a real get-out-the-pitchforks kind of work, but surely there are those who are merely buying things like real estate and US equities. I can only imagine that if the coverage is broadly characteristic of this class, it would be almost accidental that it is so.
You don't need 3k per month that is certainly lavish and I would expect that to be supported by 2 incomes so a couple living together and splitting rent and bills 50/50. If you are living alone you should aim for about half of that in central London.
In Canada it’s similar. Businesses getting 10s or 100s of thousands of dollars in COVID relief when they weren’t really impacted. It’s just extra free money for some of them. Meanwhile many actual small businesses have gone bankrupt because $10-50k isn’t enough for anyone that saw their cash flow disappear.
Rich people get to choose, poor people must obey. Why would you voluntarily decide to stay poor if you had the choice to become rich?
I'm bracing myself for the downvotes, but I'm going to post this anyway.

What do you mean with personal data anyway? In GDPR this means:

a name and surname;

a home address;

an email address such as name.surname@company.com; (NOT info@company.com!!!!)

an identification card number;

location data (for example the location data function on a mobile phone);

an Internet Protocol (IP) address;

a cookie ID;

the advertising identifier of your phone;

data held by a hospital or doctor, which could be a symbol that uniquely identifies a person.

For the IP address, I never count on the fact that they don't track it. Who does??? Same for location. Why would you think a website wouldn't be able to get your location, unless you take some real measure to prevent it.

Some consent popup isn't going to convince me that they will or will not track it. I don't give a shit, I expect EVERY website to track this.

For the rest, well, if I provide my info to the website, I'm guessing that they can also identify me with it, no? If I don't want the website to know it, I just don't provide it.

Same thing here: I really don't care what their consent message says.

So long story short: If I want to keep some privacy, I will definitely not rely on the "word of the website" that they will handle it any way they say. If I want privacy, I will take care of that myself.

And for the rest of the legal bullshit, I never read it anyway. EULA's etc.... who does?
Every time I see someone double click a link.
> people have been doing literary criticism forever.

Do you have any examples? I'm recollecting Augustine, Aquinas, Boethius, Abelard, Plotinus, Maimonides, et al, and nothing like Poetics comes to mind. What am I not remembering?
An “up-or-out” pyramid structure doesn’t see as much of that longer-term effect because it creates a selective environment for people who can work longer hours, and because it is overworking a stream of new interns and graduates who don’t stay for as much of the low productivity period as employees would in a traditional organization.

My understanding is that there's no free money attached to being on a UNESCO list.
The problem with Axolotl and signald mentioned in another comment here, is that they don't have a very strong reputation for security like the official Signal apps.
Is there an analogous practice in your region? (Is it also subject to mouse plagues, or is there another way enough rodents are gathered?)
> the ultra rich gained 2 trillion in wealth

I'm a bit suspicious of these stats. People seem to pick a period that starts at the bottom of the stock market.
The author made the wrong conclusion.

Most of these are either by design or just UI bugs or poor design.
Because of eth mining - surely that is kind of its own phenomenon.
I would also argue that in the US, startup funding and entrepreneurship is a lot more available to people considered to be "inexperienced in business" by traditional banks, leading to creative energy in Europe instead flowing into more artistic endeavours.

Also, note how the vast majority of demoscene groups were in Scandinavia, places with long winters.
The freedom of no longer spending resources keeping up with the Joneses?
>It sounds like reinventing the wheel. Why not import the knowledge, rather than develop it again from scratch?

This is why you should let foreign investors into your country. If Switzerland would build chocolate factories in Ghana everyone would be happy and in 30 years non Swiss chocolate industry would grow organically until the Swiss companies can no longer compete.
> For example, setting the time of an alarm requires you to drag in a 5x5 mm area for hour and minute, respectively.

The numeric keypad taking up the entire bottom half of the screen is what they’re expecting you to use. Providing that is why they switched to the new design. Dragging in the time box is just for some backward consistency; it’s not the intended interaction.
$1,200 per person, and then $600 per person, and then $1,400 per person. Plus an additional $400-600 per week in unemployment benefits in addition to the amount states were already giving.

Consider a hypothetical single person, living in Oregon, who lost his or her job during the pandemic, and is still looking for work. That person has received $3,200 in direct cash, and somewhere around $40-55,000 in unemployment checks.

Plus other benefits such as food and medical.

How much is enough?
... and i don't view the second iphone se as small even.

I have people in my family rocking the original iphone se because THAT is small enough for them.

Equinox Does Not Have Equal Day and Night Length
This is not normal or acceptable. It's not even their money so if the bullies have this extreme loss aversion they should not even be in the job.

Normalizing abuse is also a problem. In graduate school I was in a lab where the professor was abusive from day one. In retrospect I should've quit that same day!

That being said we just spent 4 years being abused by the President.
My font size is set to a fairly large size.

For many apps, I have no idea what to click on because no one follows the autolayout.

Some (see Evernote) are so bad that I can’t even click the sign in button because the touch target seems to be on the text and the button only shows 2 letters.

My point is that there is a difference that creates a category of error in bilingual speakers.

French speakers are likely to use the word fairly commonly; whereas, people with English as their first language are unlikely to know it.

So, via translation, the readability level has changed considerably.
It's pretty sad that Tunisia and Morocco are the only north African countries with a low corruption index (and by low I mean relative to other African countries). Considering how close they are to Europe it's a waste of a continent.
Athena is such a blackbox with "query exhaustion" errors. Wondered this as well.

How about a single "superscript" and "subscript" modifier that handles any of the other Unicode symbols?

The standard already has enough formatting options to make smartphones crash by sending them a text message(as could be seen multiple times on both Android and iOS).

If you think the unicode committee made the right call, please explain why the decision to add smiling cat pictures and over 10 heart symbols was correct but not supporting everyday maths notation.
Lead causes brain damage specifically in executive function and leads to aggression, impulsivity and behavioral control issues.

[Disagree and commit](https://www.wikiwand.com/en/Disagree_and_commit) is a common management methodology and one that the most effective teams utilize successfully.

What is the issue?
Not directly - but grants now can be argued with "this is actually UNESCO relevant". For an organization like the ZKM in Karlsruhe (a modern technology/art museum, which I would consider a major interest in this development), secondary, well-argued grants by local authorities and fonds are a major source of income.
Seriously, all I said was that - they know better than to rip the bandaid off at once. People would be irate if everything they wanted was magically made manifest.

That's just common sense. Net-neutrality - from the many other comments has already been enacting incrementally small but bad changes for internet/broadband/streaming platforms and esp. in terms of monopolistic control.

It's similar to how 24/7 media took over propagandazing and polarizing the country - all media from Fox to CNN. It started with repealing the Fairness Doctrine which required all viewpoints to be expressed.

Then came the Telecommunications Act which was supposed to open the market to more and new radio station ownership; instead, it created an opportunity for a media monopoly.

You saw American media go from hundreds of owners to 6 or 7 companies owning 99% of media via radio, tv, etc.

At least with more diversity of ownership there wasn't the ability for CEO's to completely control a narrative whether it's Turner, Murdoch, Comcast, Sinclair Broadcasting, etc.

It took 25 years for media to bring us to this point, it wasn't an overnight thing. Laws become reality, companies pick at the edges to see what they can get away with, they pick some more, eventually they take as much as they can get away with and control their foothold.

I don't see how this is conspiracy, it's just facts about capitalism.
The median age of working adults is probably around 40 or so, including those who's job it is to evaluate literature for use in schools. So it makes sense that you'd appreciate their choices more when you turn 40 or so.

This is an interesting situation, because it creates a reading list that is a "projected aspiration". We hope, I guess, that kids will read precociously. Education is, after all, the teaching of civilization's most important messages compressed into a fixed, very short time-span. School gets kids "caught up" on the civilizational conversations about things. But so much of the art and literature of humanity is like Lolita, in that it requires lots of actual living to appreciate (unlike algebra), so its position is...odd.

I wonder if, by being exposed to these things at a young age, we give kids a "shared coordinate system" to interpret and express their world, and so shape their choices in it.
I have been using them for several decades and I still accidentally hover wrong nearly every time.
It’s particularly painful in the EU and with a 2016 iPhone SE like me. I’ve come across too many GDPR dialogs where it’s impossible to click any of the buttons.
Wokeness is certainly among the strongest movements in developed Anglophone countries,
having a huge discoursive power, and embedded in structures of authority for quite a long time. Last 7-8 yrs it became more visible simply because its demands are growing more radical, and it started to fight a wider circles of opponents.
Yeah, I'm surprised this is allowed. It's risky for the owner, who opts in but may be mislead about the current accuracy of the model, but even worse, it's dangerous to all 3rd party drivers, ciclists and pedestrians.

It's basically driving like a drunk guy.
It's still a popup. And yeah, of course a website that doesn't ever have to care about paying the bills has leeway. Make the commission's website pay for their own hosting, maintenance, and development and see whether their website stays the way it is.
Based on the downvotes flying around here, it looks like there are a lot of people who somehow haven’t noticed the keyboard.

Maybe Apple should have actually made the new tiny time display not scrollable so people would be forced to see the keyboard?
Life in the Czech Republic is fine, as far as I am concerned. No violent places like Chiapas in Mexico.

What isn't fine is the worldwide trend toward morbid obesity and metabolic disease. Americans, as usual, are the trend setters, but we are following them. That is what reduces life expectancy and especially life quality in nations that can afford to gorge on 100 pounds of sugar per person and year.
Mobile consistency is the big win here. A lot of users lack the ability to hover. That means the mobile language works it's way back to desktop. Either you maintain (and test) two different interactions, or you give in and appeal to the broadest audience with least work.
Microcode is protected by its own signing thing, IIUC.

What you think about the article?
I too read this around 14 and have revisited recently at 30. I was most intrigued by the but I fully written sentences when I was younger but now I’m older see it in a much more complicated light. A good sort of complication.

I think of Lolita as a puzzle of a story. There are quite a few clues that lead to a metaphor that make since of HH’s proclamations at the end. I think Nabokov was satirizing himself as an artist through HH’s character. This view makes Delores the incarnation of “art” and HH the artist. The artist “loves” art as it affirms his whole life and reason for being. He seeks to control art, own it, and manipulate it for his own purposes. HH does not realize till the end that art/Delores lives and breaths on its/her own and that this autonomy outside of his control is truly what makes her her and art beautiful. Her struggle becomes real to him in the end, even if only a glimpse he does to me seem to actually recognize her as something separate not something he owns. He sees that seeking to calcify art only kills what was special about it in the first place; something like worshiping a corpse.

It reminded me of a statement David foster Wallace said once. (I’m paraphrasing heavily here) when I’m done with a book I’m dead and the book lives on through the readers. I think he was trying to say that he does not control the ultimate meaning of his own work and if he did it would be the other way around his book/art would be dead.

Amy Hungerford has 3 lectures on Lolita this is the 2nd one given by a guest speaker. I suggest all of them (Hungerford is a great literary analyst) but this one is a compelling argument for the above.

What kind of small gifts do you treat people to? I have trouble finding things that I don't consider to be positive for me (feels good giving) but negative for the recipient (more useless junk they'll pretend to appreciate, or unhealthy consumables).
I think that's perhaps rather generically true for premodern times. I've seen estimates of mortality rates for medieval England that have cities consistently higher than rural areas, so you'd have to have migration to the cities.
