It works like this:

1. Make the game require resources to play

This has many names: food, energy, stamina, etc. The fundamental concept is virtually identical in all cases though. It represents how much fun players can have. Once they run out, they can't play anymore.

2. Use timers to rate-limit the player's progression

Distribute resources periodically. These timers place an upper limit to how quickly players can progress in the game. There's only so much players can do with the resources it periodically gives them.

Distribute resources at predictable intervals and only if the player has used the previous items. This will create a powerful habit in players: they will feel the need to log into the game frequently in order to use up resources and keep the timer running at all times.

3. Allow players to pay money to reset the timers

Paying customers get to buy resources directly instead of waiting for the timer to run out. They essentially pay to reset the timers and can therefore progress at unlimited rates.

4. Make players outspend each other

Once players can pay to advance, the game is reduced to a spending competition. The player who spends the most money on the game wins.

Nice work! This is really cool. Does it have the ability to create job "profiles" so that you can create different sets of application data to use in different (but often related) jobs? I think that'd be a really cool feature, as well as auto-generating or suggesting content for job titles, description, etc.
If you think that Belarus is close to being as autocratic as Hungary (it isn't) and then you think that Hungary is nearly as autocratic as Poland (which is far from the truth as well), then it's time that you learn more about these countries.

Belarus is probably as autocratic as Russia. Hungary significantly less so. Poland is significantly less autocratic than Hungary.

As a Pole, I don't support the current Polish government, but putting Belarus, Hungary, and Poland into one basket simply feels wrong.
>I dont care how my coins was moved 10 years ago. The only storage that is relevant for me, now, for value transfer is the current undisputed state

I don't have anything to add, but this has always struck me as inelegant, especially for Ethereum, which is more of a dApp platform. Can someone point me towards something that can run dApps and maintain current state with distributed consensus _without_ a blockchain (or explain why this is an ignorant question)? Also, what's wrong with truncating the chain after X blocks?

> PoS/PoW is rather irrelevant

It’s an incredibly relevant fact that PoS blockchains pos1, pos2, pos3 cannot be compared without overtly trusting central authorities to give you the “correct” answer. Conversely, the PoW blockchains pow1, pow2, and pow3 can be objectively ranked by cumulative hashrate using simple mathematical comparisons.

Contrary to popular belief — and despite the endless handwaiving PoS acolytes engage in over social media — PoS blockchains continue to lack a meaningful answer to this predicament which doesn’t boil down to overtly trusting central authorities. Which begs the question: why do they need a blockchain at all?
They still need to be dragged a bit for copying someone's project. There is nothing against it in the license, but it is still pretty crappy to copy someone's offering and offer it up for free. Especially when you built your free offering on the back of the product you are killing.
In the described power supply, you'll find voltages of about 340 volts DC, for two reasons. First, AC is measured in RMS, which is considerably lower than the peak voltage. I.e., 120 volts from the wall swings between -170 volts and +170 volts. Second, this power supply uses a voltage doubler, so you end up with 340 volts DC inside.
I think toy projects are a great exercise to innovate your conventional way to write code.

For example you can't necessarily improve if you can't simply how you write. Readability is essential in code. So practice makes perfect and writing for profit often requires redundancy which does neither the programmer or the customer any good.
This seems to be an unnecessary political diatribe that has no relevance to the parent comment.
Exactly. IRC is old, perhaps not as old as DNS, but old. Slack et al took off because the UX of IRC is shite. If someone had built a slack-like IRC client and worked on getting people to use it, maybe IRC would be the common protocol. Heck, it could still happen - people really have no loyalty to slack or teams; it’s just what they currently use.

The point you're missing is that for someone who graduates with heavy debt during a recession period where they can only get a low-paying job (say, $12/hr) or no job at all, debt collection is entirely irrelevant because they don't have anything to collect in the first place.

In high school I breathed the "gospel" of Dave Ramsey. I was essentially a religiously-bent FIRE [0] advocate.

What I have come to realize is that Dave is like an AA leader. His advice makes a lot of sense if you are in a situation where you need to curtail excessive spending, and (benefit of the doubt, I agree with you that the increased tithe is gross) I could see how Dave is trying to help people find a reason to spend less on themselves.

Just as I wouldn't tell a recovering alcoholic the goal is to drink moderately, I wouldn't tell a person considering bankruptcy that some debt is good.

For people who can control their budgets, though -- Dave's advice may limit your options. Debt when managed right is a great tool for boosting liquidity when you need it. That's why even though Dave (and high school Past-me) would shake their heads at this, I have a small loan for a used car and I have a credit card.

Yeah, I'm disagreeing with the notion that it matters whether you can run a full node on a laptop. Users casually running nodes on the hardware they have lying around is not a realistic model. Those 10000 nodes, to matter, will have to be representing economic interests that can't simply be ignored, and as such, will be able to afford whatever hardware is necessary.

>These avg Joe will not have 'Delhivery accounts' to ship. EBay is for infrequent non traditional online sellers.

Did you ever try? A lot of web shops are being run in India by average Joe now, sometimes take a look at Google shopping tab.

Signing up for delivery business account is not smth you need much for, anyone can sign-up and start today.

Okay so you don't want to sign up for Delhivery account, sign up for ShipRocket (it's just an account sign-up like any website). Upload your shipment dimension and they'll arrange pickup and deliver your goods.

>but I know that they in their dreams will not use eBay if it was there in India.

They'll depending on what they are selling if they are selling consumer goods, they can sign up with Amazon but if they are selling smth more niche, they'll benefit greatly from product discovery that comes with a website like eBay, unless they've a recognizable brand and enough money to spend on advertisement and marketing a guy with an eBay account can get a lot of sales.

Honestly most guys will will not be shipping 50kg item from get go. To ship small 1 or 2 kg item they can approach nearest courier service and if they've a few of these Packets, courier offers pickup from your premise.

For small packets, price variation among different courier providers isn't much to fuss about. Only at higher weight levels, the delhivery/safe express standout from the competition.

So here's the process:

1. Sign up for ShipRocket

2. Pack your goods and wait for it to be picked up and delivered

How can we make it easier than this? Next step is only that a courier company reads your mind and picksup unpacked goods, pack it and deliver it to customers using teleportation. There isn't room for making it easier than this, just saying.

A person who can't be bothered to do is, has any place in business? What he deserves to make money for if he can't given do this.

I am a guy from a small city near Delhi with not much resources and I still manage to ship goods and make good money that I left my job, if I can do it, anyone can.

Am I right to say that keepers do a "split step" landing when they see a kick toward them is immenent (which a penalty shot certainly is)?—just as tennis players must do.

For the uninitiated, a split-step "hop" allows the defender to be uncommitted at the instant of your opponents strike; it provides an equal capacity to move any particular direction, as momentum is removed from the equation.

He tells you if you have any car loan to not contribute to your retirement account until your car loan is paid off, even if your company matches 100%. Insane. You could contribute, get the match, and then take the penalty the next year (or whenever is optimal based on match limit etc., withdrawal requirements, etc.) and dump it into the car loan at that point and still come out far ahead.

(edit: replaced mortgage with car loan, as he excludes mortgages from the advice as pointed out below)

I’ve occasionally wondered why the responsibility to mitigate abuse can’t be pushed all the way out to edge nodes (individual ISPs and data centers) instead of relying on centralized abuse prevention. I imagine this does happen for certain kinds of abuse, but wouldn’t the threat of others not peering with your node be good motivation for ISPs not to provide services to spammers?
This is the best solution. Apple should not be operating the platform and then compete on that same platform.

They can either shut off all their services and operate the store, charging whatever tax they like. Or they can shut off the store, allow others to operate stores on iOS, and continue distrbuting stuff like Apple music over any third party store they like.

Otherwise it is just a blatant abuse against apps like Netflix and Spotify. I'm surprised why those companies are not fighting this.

DR has two points:

1) Any debt is bad including purchase mortgages and college loans. More sophisticated financial advisers believe some debts are better than others.

2) DR has a multi-step solution for paying off debts. This I believe is practical because it divides a large problem into more manageable pieces.

> You can use a GPL library without making changes and contributing anything upstream

which is fine - your usage of GPL software doesn't affect anyone else. If you decide to charge for it, that's OK too - since if the market exists for such software, the price would equalize to the break-even point of the cost of production.

> You can use a GPL library internally and make changes without contributing anything upstream

If it's "internal", aka, not visible to the outside world, then that's fine too. There's no effect from anyone else's perspective.

> You can use a GPL library, make changes ... share the changes with the 3rd parties

This is the point i was trying to make - in this case, where you make changes, you have to share it. Even tho it's just the 3rd party, this 3rd party has the right to distribute these changes. And anyone that has access to the software is also the 3r party.

So, in other words, if you have visible effects to the outside world with your (changed) GPL software, you are effectively bound to contribute those changes for free, or relicense with the owner to hide those changes.

Yes... it's become quite the irritation to me. Crown isn't an awful lot better. They're both straight up secular financial wisdom with "verses sprinkled on top for seasoning."

Believe the Bible or not, one can (probably) reasonably enough assume that if you try to do something based on Biblical financial wisdom, it should end up at least somewhat at odds with what looks ideal for wealth accumulation in our modern, capitalist, credit-based financial systems.

My major problem with Ramsey is that his whole motivation for people to get out of debt is just so they can consume more later - "Live like nobody else, so later you can live like nobody else." Luxury cars, big house, and all the trappings. It's woven throughout his material, and while I won't argue that it's not an appealing thing to offer as a reason to get your financial house in order, I'm far from convinced it's remotely Biblical.

Also, while it's a minor point, given the prevalence of credit card theft/fraud/etc (which I've dealt with... oh, far more often than is reasonable, every year or two I get a card re-issued, to the point that I have certain cards I just use for recurring payments because I'm so tired of having to update everything), using debit cards for everything is a great annoyance. Having my CC number stolen and someone else's money going missing is far less annoying than having my bank account drained and a check bounce. Yes, I'm not liable either way, but "There's an extra $1000 on Discover that I didn't put there" is their problem first and foremost, not my problem.

Crown Financial Ministries is somewhat better, but (having moderated a version of it a few years back), it's still "secular financial wisdom with a few more verses sprinkled on top." Just a bit less materialistic than Ramsey (which, alone, is reason to prefer it).

I've yet to find a course that actually starts with the Bible. A long form study, starting with going through the (many and verbose) chunks of the Bible that talk about wealth, money, resources, etc, and then work from there to what it looks like in the modern world. There's plenty in there about saving for the future and managing resources wisely, but I'm reasonably certain getting from "What the Bible says about money" to "And therefore you should save for a Mercedes!" requires more than a bit of a stretch.

Ramsey is fairly good at the "You are in deep financial trouble, get your stuff together!" initial motivation, and I certainly won't argue that his methods don't work for a lot of people - at least to the "Get your high interest revolving debt paid down, get an emergency fund, and stop buying trivial stupid crap" level, but I really don't agree with his longer term methods (which tend to look an awful lot like "Buy Dave Ramsey branded mutual funds," which are fairly crap funds, last I looked - but he gets a kickback).

If you know of anything better, I'm certainly interested in what's out there. But the state of "Biblically based financial wisdom" in the US, at least, is pretty well lacking from what I can see.
