I mean, the only downfall to this is that the fundamental resources you speak of “shelter, water, food...” in a game are infinite duplications of the same model with no “cost”.

In the real world, that stuff isn’t an unlimited, instantaneous resource. Someone has to build that shelter, farm that food, etc.

In order for this to work, we would need to find free labor... that hasn’t worked so well historically. And sure, you could say technology could fill these labor needs to fundamentally reduce the cost of basic resources to zero, but I don’t think that’s really possible either in practice (the robot maker needs some incentive to make the robots that are providing these free services).

Further, you start replacing fundamental tasks with technology and you begin to remove the opportunity for tasks to better your life (like in the game) because technology isn’t just niche applicable generally.

IMO: It works if you ignore the premise that the game represents a complicated issue in the most simplistic way. But as soon as you put some economics to it, it breaks down super fast.

So we have more work to do, but we are making progress on all dimensions.

You're reading things that aren't there. Literally no-one has argued Vietnam or its people are rich (or even suggested anything close to it). No one.

Recap: The commentator you replied to said it's gotten better in the best decade (factually correct) and suggested it's considerably better than most Westerners think it is (an opinion/observation that also correlates with my experience, but YMMV).

From that comment, you brought up flooding in Saigon to which it was pointed out (to illustrate the absurdity of even bringing it up), that one of the richest cities in the world also has parts of it that flood.

You took that to mean they think Vietnam is wealthier than Japan (?) and that flooding is worse in Tokyo (?). No one said either of those things.

Look, you seem articulate and intelligent but no-one has even come close to saying what you keep suggesting. Please re-read the thread with a less combative mindset and realize we are all pretty much in agreement.
Dutch court orders Shell to cut its emissions by 45 percent by 2030
I have an infant child and I've discovered that I developed a, for lack of a better word, verbal tick when referring to her:

It doesn't translate to English well, but instead of asking e.g. "are you eating?" or "is she eating" I say "is it eaten?"(note the lack of the word "being" - I'm not asking here if she is currently being devoured).

It's a lot like "it is known" in Game of Thrones.

I wonder if the origins of E-Prime were in any way similar.
nothing is zero-cost but wearing a mask in public is as near to zero as any practical cost can be. Costco had a sale a few weeks ago, 250 masks for 5 bucks, or you can buy a re-usable one and wear it for months.

as far as the "human cost" of wearing a mask... grow up. Asian societies like China/Japan/Korea have been wearing masks forever and they're fine. Now that the consequences of spread are more severe (vs just plain old flu) it's time for this custom to spread more widely.

again, the hilarious thing is it's always adults who are so childish about this whole thing. Kids intuitively get it, just like they grasp a lot of the boomer issues that society is burying its head about.

It's so ironic that in modern society, the children are adults and the adults are childish.

The Royal Family Association seems to be something somewhat more substantial than that (but not an actual monarchy, nor does it seek restoration), but its worth noting that the person who named Lee heir and crown prince is not the person recognized as the current head by that association, but a competing claimant, who is also a monarchist seeking restoration.

Personally I find that for every feature that works out of the box there's two others that don't do what I want the way I want it. So I like my tools to be hackable. This does take time, and I admit I'm not always on the right side of the time savings chart[0]. ;) But I also generally find it satisfying -- tastes will differ on this point.

I'm part of a Discord community that has many, many bots handling idle tasks. We play an obscure video game, and these bots help keep track of various player's ranks, skills, which platform (Switch, PS4, PC, XBox) they're on, etc. etc.

The thing about chats-with-automation is that the automation part is strongly tied to the chat.

All these Discord bots will be a pain-in-the-ass to switch over to IRC, and vice versa.

--------

Even on the Freenode #C++ community, they had a FAQ-bot to spam newbies with links whenever a common question was asked (or which pastebins to use, or whatever). A huge part of IRC (and Discord) is about automation / bots, and the APIs are just not compatible.

While there is a #clojure on both Freenode and Libera, it's not official as far as I know. Also, https://clojure.org/community/resources still links to the Freenode channel. Most of the Clojure community hangs around on Zulip and Slack (Clojurians) more than IRC anyways.
> This presumes the existence of a category like 'cow' or 'finger'. I'm pretty sure there's nothing intrinsic about 'cows' and 'fingers'; these are artifacts of human cognition.
I base reality, there are no such things as 'cows' and 'fingers'. Just systems with similar properties. And if you have to be very pedantic, there are not even discrete systems, since everything is linked by information. You cannot separate a river from the ocean - it's part of the same system.

When I cut my finger the cow does not share in my pain. When we kill the cow for its meat, we do not share in its pain. That the cow becomes part of us through its consumption does not seem to invalidate this point—discrete systems do exist in our experience.

Of course, if you zoom out far enough you might refer to the sum of those discrete parts as some singular, complex system, but it seems the human experience is fairly limited in exposing this subtlety (not to mention that it is often useful to discuss the parts themselves without considering their relationship to the entire universe).

No. Just no. It was the "branding" of Agile by consulting companies and publishers as a product they could sell is what got us into the sh*t show we're now in. Same has happened with REST and everything else the marketers touch. No. The _last_ thing we need is another vacuous rebranding. Unsurprisingly, most of the commentors here seem to get that, and are already calling out the b.s. when given the chance.
really the major pain point is more the lack of cross platform APIs.
> the Crown Prince of South Korea it seems

Alleged crown prince of the Joseon Empire. Which hasn't existed for ~110 years, and is based on an ennoblement by one of several contenders for the current head of the former imperial family, so it's an even weaker claim than most pretenders of former monarchies have.
Except those web pages are broken into pages at arbitrary locations, rather than by chapter or topic like most web sites are, and each page is only one screen tall. A better analogy would be adding a history entry every time I press PageUp or PageDown: it would clutter up the history so much as to make it useless.

Another way to think of it is that a web page is one document, and so is a book. The history stack is a list of visited documents. If the book should be treated as a collection of documents, then it should be structured that way.

I don't think there's a good solution to online books that are presented like that, but I like how the Kindle app works: following a link or jumping ahead in the book adds a history entry (with the in-app back button), but just turning the page doesn't.

My issue with that stance is that effectively its saying that you'll be ethical when its _convenient_ but when its inconvenient you'll be unethical.
The problem is that until the section "Predicting measurement results for the initial context" (inclusive) it is totally trivial if you have a background in Physics and Quantum Mechanics. It's not the usual model because it uses one (or two?) hidden variables, but it's easy to understand.

But the next section "Predicting measurement results for an arbitrary context" is totally unintelligible.

My guess is that the unintelligible part is hiding that when you measure a photon with a polarizer with an angle alpha, the other photon gets that information with an implicit faster than light communication. I have to read it again a third time, and I guess I'll need a fourth or fifth before I can have a definitive answer.

It behaves oddly. If I make my window very wide, the text takes up a reasonable width in the center. Then as I drag the window edge to make it smaller, the column suddenly gets wider. As I continue to make the window narrower, it gets to the point where there's no whitespace until it gets very narrow, then a small amount of whitespace (but enough) is introduced on the sides.

The companies I worked at that had slack licenses still had teams using what they considered to be the best product. Slack, Hipchat (remember them?), and Zoom.

There's also more to it than 'bundling.' Trusting your chat communications to the same company doing your email is a more compelling story than sending it to Slack, Discord, or Zoom.
There are a lot of companies that still don't trust 'the cloud' and then you've got governments all over the world and all of their regulations that may block the use of something else.

If you're not familiar with it, I would recommend checking out Matlab's parallel computing toolbox for starters.

In the end most viruses have similar interactions with the body. The immune system simply takes a while to physically respond which is why initial viral load is important.

So, initial viral load is not COVID specific. Also viral load at first detection is a different yet important criteria for EBOLA, COVID, and other diseases. https://www.jci.org/articles/view/83162
Pushing the physical speed limitations of cars is not what kills cyclists and pedestrians. In many countries, those groups are excluded from high speed roads.

These deaths predominantly happen around 30mph, at junctions and other road furniture.

Edit: I've based that on UK experience, while TFA puts most US accidents on "arterial" roads, which can be 30-50mph. This doesn't change what I'm saying to you though, cyclists aren't dying because cars explode at 50mph.
Slack is one of the new breed of applications that really tries its best to get you to pay attention to it all the time. Nevertheless, it's pretty manageable if you spend a little time going around and muting channels and turning off OS-integrated notifications.

IMO, both Slack and Email have their places. Slack is better for long-running conversations with a lot of rapid back and forth of mostly short messages involving a dozen-ish people. Email is better for making requests expected to be responded to in hours or days and sending longer and more detailed descriptions.

You've oddly crystallized why Kakoune has so far failed to grab me!

The description you gave of the actions one takes in editing makes sense: in most non-modal editors, you select the text you want to take actions on, then choose the action to take. But, I can do that in literally every modeless editor! That's the way essentially all of them work.

But when people write of "Vim as a text editing language" as many comments here do, the action -> object model -- again, at least for me -- fits the pattern. We say "I'm going to the store," not "store I'm going to," unless Yoda we are. And, most programming languages that aren't purely object-oriented tend to follow a rough pattern of "action(parameter)". So in editors like Sublime Text (or VSCode or BBEdit or...) I tend to do editing in an entirely visual way, Vim approaches editing in a more language-based way, and when you describe edits in language, "[verb] the [noun]" is pretty natural.
I'm with you there. I (not a game dev) imagine that balance is hard to find, particularly when choosing the right moment to release. I remember playing "Age of Conan" (the mmo) when it was released and in my opinion while the graphics were good, the game-play was hilariously out of balance (or buggy). My younger self found exploiting the lopsided game-play very enjoyable, but ultimately didn't stick around for too long. If the balance was reversed (more polished game mechanics, less polished art) my friends and I probably would have made it a staple.

But to each their own! It's nice to see the variety available from movie-like experiences to pixel art with all ranges of game mechanics.

The US links sited state no evidence for talc causing cancer. A search of the NHS website also suggests no clear evidence [1]. Cancer Research (a respected UK charity) give a layman's summary (albeit focusing on ovarian cancer), stating no clear evidence and pointing out that there are far more serious risks to worry about [2].

Given the above, what is the hype about? Is this because the US is so insanely litigious?

> If they don’t own the rocket company and don’t threaten the main colony?

And if they do threaten the main colony or even take it over entirely?

My point with my comment was that because mars is far away, any earth response on mars would be rather slow. Mars would have plenty of time to react if earth ships soldiers over or whatever and they wouldn't care about seizure of earth assets. As for ballistic missiles, to what end? Kill all the innocent colonists to get rid of the warlord?

Even if it was the person that owns the rockets, if they're on mars, they may no longer care about the earth assets. I mean, if its a one way trip, they wouldn't be able to do anything with them other than send supplies. I assume if they were to play warlord, its at a point where they no longer care about the supplies. If earth used those rockets to invade mars, mars would still have plenty of time to come up with a plan to shoot them down or whatever.

> Needless to say, the likely-Earth-based shareholders are likely to be unimpressed by such a colonial government.

If mars is a one-way trip away, why would they care about Earth-based shareholders?

Not saying such a takeover would end well for mars, just that the isolation leaves it wide open for some maniac to play warlord. I also think its more likely that its not the person who owns the rockets, if someone does decide to do that.
