Except OP was explaining how it doesn't solve procrastination, at all. Procrastination problems don't get solved by having a new method of procrastination. That's like trying to combat crack addiction by switching to heroin. Nothing in their comment seemed like, "just stop being poor".
If everyone is opressed in some way - I agree - then my conclusion is that we should realise we all benefit from being allowed to opt-into the politics of those opressions. Many of my employment rights were or are political arenas.

I'm not a gamer. If anything, I'm yet another old cranky coder guy complaining about new people and new stuff. Dang it! (Looks outside to check lawn)

Having said that, Factorio is the bomb. I like the point this essayist makes about closed vs. open-ended problem-solving. There's also the matter of building something for now vs. building something for later. Probably the biggest mistake I see in shops are people building for the endgame when they don't even have a basic and simple value loop set up. Factorio teaches this by direct practice and interaction. Because solving coding problems can take a long time, many times programmers can go an entire career without actually learning how to solve problems, instead just learning more and more about how to add solution details.

For some, if they're not going to learn good architecture evolution here they'll never grok it.

Recommended. But beware: it's a freaking huge time sink. I had to take it off all but one of my PCs.

Good documentary on the origins of house and techno from 70s disco, to 4 to the floor disco and the coming of the 808, how this moved to house in chicago and some sci fi nerds with a love for kraftwerk in detroit started techno. Then how the UK got involved and these DJs from the US, used to playing to 50-80 people in tiny underground, often gay clubs would come to the UK and play to 10,000 in massive outdoor / warehouse events and rave was born

Point taken, but perhaps a bad example. When I buy an iPhone, I'm paying a little for materials, but mostly I'm purchasing the culmination of tens of billions of dollars of R&D that possibly surpasses any other product on Earth.

A better example might be a luxury brand wallet where they sell the illusion of better quality, but that may or may not be true.

"It's a climate where 'opinions' matter more than knowledge..."

It's not just that. Sometimes the people don't understand the difference between their opinion and facts. Like I could point out some factual incorrectness and they see me as attacking their opinion. A lot of the time they coincidence, but sometimes I might be in favor of their opinion based on other facts and simply don't want misinformation to spread. Or we might share the same objective but that false information would lead to a flawed implementation that would block us from achieving a shared goal. Not to mention, I try not to attack an actual opinion, because everyone is entitled to one, even if it differs from mine.
> The fact that they don't is evidence that the charges console makers make to game makers is not abusive; or at least, evidence that no intervention is required."

No, you have cause and effect backwards. They don't because they can't without losing out on cross-platform games.

Consoles have one job, games. They can capture consumers on exclusives, or being competitive on cross-platform games.

iOS have half (not percent-wise, but provider-wise) of a phone-market, in which games exist.

Gamers can't choose a gaming platform outside of what phone they already have, without switching phones and all the extra second-order effect that has. So much less elasticity there.

But as far as I'm concerned they can look into Sony/Nintendo/Microsoft anti-competitive behavior too, I wouldn't be hard to persuade the effect exists there too, albeit to a lesser extent.
Gaming skins and the general market around in-game transactions for purely digital goods indicate what the market looks like. People are paying quite a fair bit for purely digital goods, and it doesn’t seem like a leap to say they’ll pay for discrete digital good s: “the only skin of this kind in Fortnite”

Hm, yes, but ..

You're mixing up the fiscal - Treasury, bond auctions, taxes, deficit, debt service - with monetary - central bank, interest rates, reserve requirements, QE.

The Treasury doesn't have the authority to create money [0], and the Government has to pad its balance sheet with debt.

The central bank on the other hand doesn't have this requirement. (They have the dual mandate to keep PCE at 2% and keep unemployment low [at NAIRU].)

Of course this is "simply" a giant technicality, but people find it useful. (Bond auctions function as an important signaling mechanism. Also credit default swaps issued for sovereign debt, and their secondary market is a kind of useful indicator. Plus the swaps, and the interbank "overnight reverse-repos for reserves" themselves are useful instruments for managing/handling/pricing-in/reifying risk.)

Again, you're right that theoretically anytime someone says "i owe you" they are creating money. And you can run a local bank easily with a spreadsheet and a large initial equity (as criminals oft do).

[0] this might not be true technically, as they might be able to mint coins without Congressional approval and need for appropriations (and hence collecting taxes or issuing debt), but the Fed still has to buy the coins so it's again the Fed that's creating the monetary base for the coin ... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trillion-dollar_coin
I'll bite.

It's because the labels themselves have become diluted to have any real meaning. Yes, there are white nationalists who show up to rallies waving Nazi flags. But it's also totally normal to hear people refer to "white supremacy" with regard to SATs[1]. So there really is a diminishing return on calling things racist, and that's probably what most people are "scoffing" at.

I've been working through VC across the atlantic during the pandemic. It's been horrible. There have been multiple projects that took months - and I know, from past experience, that if I could hop over the atlantic for a week they'd be solved in that timeframe.

Why? Because of face-to-face experience and trust building and the ability to sit beside one another and grab someone quickly. It's 100% worth the ridiculously high costs of air travel and expenses.
Free software is a great solution for software, the more people have that attitude and help fund, contribute to and drive the usage of free software, the better it becomes.

Unfortunately, it doesn't necessarily work for "entertainment", because entertainment is consumable. You always want new music, new movies, new games, I don't think we've found a way to make those free (libre) yes.

Static Mocking vs. Mocking with Fuzz Data (Embedded)
I'm hoping to accomplish pointing out the silliness of the post I originally responded to, which asserted that there was no reason to think it would be unfair competition.
Yes, but will you be the one to explain that cost accounting to each buyer?

"Yes Maaam, we'll spend $200 of the money you're about to give us on a fancy campus with hammocks to try to attract good engineers. Oh, and the massive billboard outside that made you walk into the shop in the first place."
To me bad faith is also just lying. You lie about your motives and intentions. You lie about the other's sides motives and intentions. Bad faith actors also prop up a lot of straw men in order to tear them down, but disengage or put words in the mouth of direct opponents. They make concrete statements, then back away and act like they never said if called out for it, or can't back up their assumption with evidence.

Bad faith arguments are more about scoring points or making that person feel better. It's never about the actual policy. So it allows the bad faith actor freedom to say whatever they want, as long as they come out ahead.
> And if the client, who by definition possesses the most detailed knowledge of the requirements, doesn't know what they need then the entire enterprise is doomed to failure.

And the consultants get paid either way. I have done some real awful projects in my day, though the worst had to be a year-long product development effort as part of a JV. It became clear about 2 weeks in that the companies’ interest in the product were directly contradictory, and that the entire point of the JV was to get regulatory approval of a multi-billion dollar asset sale under the guise of a JV. The product development was just cover, and the client was all too happy to throw tens of millions of dollars at it to say “hey look, we tried to develop a product and it just didn’t work” since it was a fraction of a percent of the entire deal value.
Nail on the head with the mixing of standards. Every FORTRAN codebase Ive had to use at work always has a mix of 77, 90, and even pre 77 code mixed all together
None of those are VVVs, though.
The welfare systems of most (if not all) Western countries are inspired by this viewpoint, but take fundamentally different trade-offs. They do not action the viewpoint itself - the viewpoint clearly is not an actionable policy. It is also not a conservative viewpoint. I bet if you would ask people from both sides the majority will agree to some extent with the viewpoint.

The devil is in the details. I could take this viewpoint and take several trade-offs on the implementation which would result in either extremely left-wing or extremely right-wing policies.

Not really. Not in the in sense of where the music came from. I'd agree on an enjoyment level it taps into something similar. But the roots of the genre as far as I am aware owe nothing to tribal music.
Man, I hated the BB "unified inbox" foolishness. HATED IT. I want to see my work mails in one box and my personal ones in another. IMs should be in their own space.

(There were lots of other problems with BB in general, too, like the near-total-dependence on a corporate server to do the heavy lifting, at least initially. BBs weren't actually capable of running a true IMAP client until pretty late in the game.)

You don’t even need to slice, just manhandle. It’s easy and mechanical, can be done in a few minutes in a dark alley. Whereas a code, any code, requires a degree of cooperation that the individual can choose never to grant.

(Obviously a lot of people will grant it, but a sufficiently motivated person - human-rights activist, political dissenter, journalist, etc etc - might not)
Author of the summary here:

You are right regarding the chocolate bar experiment.

That's why the researchers ran multiple experiments, some of which measured actual behavior:

- People were 16.1% more likely to bid for a gift card for an Everlane backpack (vs a J.Crew one) when they saw cost information about it

- Sales of chicken noodle soup bowls ($4.95) in Harvard’s campus canteen increased 21.1% when costs were disclosed
I'm pretty sure the only way to block it is at the local level. There is no compelling incentive for the federal government to not support the expansion of facial recognition technologies.

Our politicians might be convinced to introduce token pieces of legislation that can conveniently be voted down by the other side, and just enough of their fellow party members. But that's about it.
external consultants can be good or bad. There are always things you can't do yourself. Anyone reading this could grab a shovel and dig a subway - it is obvious that you won't get very far alone before you die, those who are lucky will die of old age, while the rest of us not knowing how to tunnel safety will dig in a tunnel collapse. However I gave you a budget you can hire experts in safely digging tunnels fast. Likewise, I can' draw a line on the map and say we should go here, but I need lots of consultants to make it reality: geologists to tell me if the soil will work, engineers to ensure that the train fits in the tunnel (curves), different engineers to ensure that the tunnel walls are thick enough to last (in turn advised by the geologists), and so on.

The problem is there are useful consultants, and consultants that charge you a lot of money for things that you want but don't really need. You need to reign in the later, or decide that they are worth spending on - your choice. I personally would prefer a small utilitarian station, but maybe you think the most expensive stations in the world are worth the cost.
I don't voice political opinions in the workplace because I don't think that's what the workplace is for.

I don't "bring my whole self" to work any more than I "bring my whole self" anywhere else - different aspects of personality are appropriate in different settings. My family see different sides to me that others do not. Not only do I believe that's healthy, I believe it's normal and inevitable. I was also brought up to think that it was not polite to discuss politics or religion except with your closest friends. Generally this seems still to be good advice.

As a slight aside to people talking about "cancel culture" etc, where I grew up if you voiced the wrong opinions you could just disappear and never be found again. This is still the case in many parts of the world. Most of the time when people mention this they seem to inherently be speaking from a position of privilege where they believe they have a right to be listened to without consequence, which I'm not sure has ever existed.
True. And when discussing generalities, it is a given people with specifics will stand out. I have mine, you have yours.

Personally, I deal with others on whatever terms they tend to present to me.

So, if someone does not respond quickly, fine. Or they want SMS, or whatever, that is fine too.

I figure they have reasons, seek low friction amd give consideration I am given.
I feel that the guns and aliens in Factorio are a very important part of the game. I tried the Dyson Sphere Program the other day which is basically 3D factorio with planets and I dropped it soon after, it feels like there is no end goal to keep playing, you just research more technology but the reason to do it seems lacking. DSP is still in development so maybe that is the reason it feels this way.

I know you or I or someone on HN talking about secure environments wouldn't put adverts on a site. But I just checked the first thing I could think of (https://www.coinbase.com/signin) and I can see Google Ads right there. I don't want to sound like I'm calling them out specifically because I'm sure what I'm looking at is entirely normal.
Applying those labels to people who are objectively and overtly acting that way is not the problem. The problem is that way too often people are assuming it's there. It's a presumption of intent, "racism is one possible explanation for your viewpoint, therefore I somehow /just know/ that you are a racist person".

Example: every recent white-cop-shot-a-black-person incident in the U.S. Not only is there widespread assumption of racism being the motivation (despite little or no evidence of that), you can't even /talk/ about parts of the problem without being labeled a racist. Heck, even /raising the question/ of whether or not the incident was motivated by racism will often get you labeled as racist. Want to discuss the practical benefits of being cooperative during a police encounter? You're racist!
I'm pretty sure plenty of people addicted to MMORPGs don't forget leveling up their character, and going to the "ruins at 7 pm with their teamspeak party to raid for magic staff wand XYZ" ; to peddle the tool they use to procrastinate as a _cure_, because at least you're doing something diligently? Sorry, I am a nice person, but I am able to have strong opinions: This is nonsense.

The implication, that "procrastination" means "no due diligence" in anything is _WRONG_. It's due diligence in things that should take no priority as the very means to avoid the things you should be doing instead!

"Play Factorio, it has benefits for you that help you be productive" in response to someone dealing with procrastination? If that isn't absurd, I don't know what is.
I don't agree with your comparison of the two terms above - and in fact I think they are complementary, not contradictory as you suggest. The right to speak has been to say unpopular opinions and be free from government oppression, not from social opinion.

If "freedom of speech MEANS freedom from consequences", as you suggest, then what would be the point of speaking with our absolute freedom, as no one would be allowed to form an opinion on it?

Freedom of speech has always meant "freedom of speech doesn't mean freedom from consequences" in America, it is just that you have the right to say it and be free from government persecution. You can and will be judged on it socially, which is what this paper says is not right, as workplace employees are self censoring their views because people will take a principled stand on their opinions.

This paper seems to want people to be able to state exactly what they please and for there to be no social repercussions - which the first quote you have acknowledges there are.

"I do not agree with what you say but I will defend to the death your right to say it" contains "I do not agree", meaning that the individual who uttered it has made an opinion based on someone else's speech.
I guess it is mostly an illustration that time-domain => frequency-domain transformation is trivial for ANNs. And e.g. it won't make any sense to pre-process your signal with FFT before training ANN since it will do it itself if needed.
I think you're right. Stated in simpler terms, both the front and the back of Wout's wheel passed the line of the camera before the front or back of Tom's bike.

Even if the camera were 10 cms off, the fact that the back of Wout's front wheel passed that mark before the back of Tom's front wheel must means that the front of his wheel was still ahead at that moment. (Assuming same sized wheels.)
I'm also Danish. My dad is a blacksmith, about as blue-collar as it gets, and he would agree with the above representation.

It wasn't so in the past, but for the past 100 years or so, co-operation between unions and employers has been mostly constructive.

This is not a Utopia as some other commenters are saying. It's perfectly achievable if both sides acknowledge they need the other and are willing to discuss issues in good faith.

This idea that having a separate App Store would completely render the ecosystem a Wild West of standards like Linux is something I never understood. If they allow side loading developers will still stick with the App Store and their standard if they want to sell, like it happens on android where devs stick with the play store . If people massively reject the App Store if alternative ways of installing an app become available then maybe it wasn’t that valued of a feature in the first place by the users ...
By selling consoles at a loss, more people can afford to buy them bringing in a larger audience. And even the people who could afford a more expensive console will simply have more money for games.
Just to be clear, the courts in these parts don't have any choice about that. If statute law provides for those protections, the courts must decide cases accordingly (unless, for example, they are found to conflict with some sort of human rights law that has priority).

What is particularly unfortunate in these cases is that a lot of the worst copyright-related requirements aren't even set by national governments (or other quasi-democratic bodies like the EU) but rather in the back rooms of international conferences where there is then a big vote on some big international agreement that includes them. Then everyone gets to make a DMCA or EUCD or other local equivalent that does nasty things like adding DRM protections that effectively nullify half of the copyright bargain, and they can mutter something about "international law" or "treaty obligations" and point the finger at some nebulous, unaccountable international diplomacy exercise to deflect the blame.
