This reminds me of the fan translation projects for games like Ace Attorney from Japanese -> Korean. They also found a way to extract the game strings and put them into a google doc. It was super cool.

So I went through all of the hassle of modding my 3ds to change its language to Korean (Nintendo only allows specific languages per 3ds region), and patching a romfile of Ace Attorney. Then Nintendo released Ace Attorney 1-3 on the switch and pc, so that was great timing. It's still annoying on the switch as the game supports Korean, but only if you set your system language to Korean; hardly ideal if anyone else uses it. At least with Steam it can be configured per-game.

What is it supposed to do?

Does it actually do that?

What else does it do, intentionally or unintentionally?

Who benefits from it, and who pays the costs?

Is this exchange worth it for those paying?

These are basic questions we should ask, not just about cryptocurrencies, but about the finance sector in general. When investment firms cause recessions or famines as a side-effect of enriching themselves, we have to ask if they're worth tolerating or if governments should drastically tighten regulations.

Cryptocurrencies are just the low-hanging fruit. The whole tree is worth shaking.

I loath articles like this. One does not have to be insane to be an artist. Nor does insanity make one an artist.

The kind of creativity to create the kinds of artwork the article talks about does not require one to have a mental illness.

I'm on the medications the article talks about, with great success. We only hear about the cases where medication has not worked effectively. My psychiatrist has many patients who are doing well on treatment and continuing their current professions.

I never would have flourished as an artist without medication. My creativity is more accessible and vivid than before. Treatment has come a long way in the last 20 years. We now know that high doses of lithium are not necessary in most cases. Much lower dosages are effective. My mix of medication has side effects, but they are manageable.

Therapy has come a long way. We now have effective therapies, such as CBT and DBT, which makes medication far more effective.

In short, this is a harmful narrative that deters people from seeking help. It is difficult to get committed involuntary most places. Voluntary treatment can always be discontinued.
How many years until average person could make one of these? How do you protect politicians, reporters, famous people? I suppose we can assume this is the future of assassinations in the middle east and elsewhere?
Of course I don't really understand the situation, having just casually read what you've posted here, but .. it all seems dubious.

I think, despite the possible upside of having a dedicated US sales partner, that it would be safer to cut all ties with him as nicely but definitively as possible, and just move on. Unfortunately, you will have to accept that it's likely he will say bad things about your company and your product when he has the opportunity.

But I think that will likely be a small price to pay: nothing you've described sounds like good-faith, transparent, mutual benefit business which is what you should expect from a partner.

Best of luck!

This sounds extremely ignorant, Bitcoin essentially has accomplished a _trustless_ transfer of value, globally and at very low costs (even considering the extraordinary fees right now). This is just the cost of that...

You’d think so but the reality is that you wouldn’t hear about it unless they pull the plug on the free CI services.

Travis has had years of abuse of their platform. I’m surprised it took so long to lock it down. I’m sure it’s a PITA for the free tier users to have to reach out to them to get back on there, but hey they get the support they’re paying for.

I strongly doubt a fan translation of a game from 1997 is going to reflect on or tarnish -anything-. Fan translations are very common, and without them games would be forever unavailable to people who don't speak that language.
I seem to recall recent media controversy about a politician claiming this existed. Perhaps it was just the wording used that made it controversial.
I mean if you're only hiring people to do basic web dev (front or back end) then yeah sure you don't need a CS degree, but for anything complex having a real education in CS/Math/Engineering is definitely required. Someone building a database engine or compiler isn't doing the same thing as someone building a wordpress website or someone who integrates apps into salesforce. The latter don't really require a CS education but the former definitely do. Over time I imagine the split will be made more formal and we will see the "developer" job category split up more granularly.

In this comment, I'm assuming you are talking about Bitcoin.

> I don't think it's worth 2% of the entire world's wealth

Taken literally, if 2% of the world's wealth is in Bitcoin, so isn't that its value, by definition?

I'm not trying to nitpick. I'm trying to push back on what seems to be a glossing over of the fundamentals.

I wonder if what you mean is that you don't think it is _wise_ for people to put so much of their assets in the form of Bitcoin.

Now, if we want to have the discussion of "how has Bitcoin affected the economy?" it is not enough to only look at a snapshot of how wealth is allocated at one instant of time. We should be looking at a differential view; i.e. before and after.

In particular, an economist would ask questions such as...

1. How has Bitcoin changed transaction costs? Who bears these costs? Over what time frame?

2. To what degree does the structure of Bitcoin provide advantages relative to other assets?

3. How does the development of Bitcoin factor into a longer-term view of experimentation and innovation?

4. To what degree has wealth been reallocated due to Bitcoin? To what degree did it disrupt existing wealth patterns?

And so on...

I own a small online business selling custom-configured RPIs and chargebacks are terrible. Businesses build reputations but expect their customers to be anonymous every time. It would be far better if chargebacks were eliminated and customers could review the merchants to reduce fraud. Putting all the risk on the merchants is backwards.
Indeed, I was planning to find a California VPN to avoid the chat/call, but really it took maybe 2 minutes of idle chat to deal with it. Even my low bar for BS wasn’t that triggered. honestly I was more hopefully that they’d renew the $1/month offer instead, but nothing.
Rest assured, I don't think even the most die-hard Keynesian statists are willing to build five thousand nuclear plants just so that they can track your bike sale. By its own nature, Bitcoin resists government takeover. /s
Excellent! This is exactly what I describe in the post. This is why dark patterns are bad for the business.
Why is this even surprising? Having your devices advertise to you, crying for your attention 24/7, is pretty much what push notifications are for. Why not leverage it to advertise Bing? It's not like people are going to stop using it, after all; we've proven that.
The ways Microsoft wants to trick users into using edge, using all sorts of dark-patterns, has rapidly increased with the launch of chromium edge.

Opening Edge on startup, asking in Windows update-screens, putting Edge on the desktop and taskbar, asking to change to Edge when clicking on links, dissuading users when searching for browsers on bing, advertising Edge in the start-menu, it goes on...

Chromium Edge is bringing up the worst in Microsoft again...

Your misunderstanding was believing HR is there to solve human interaction problems in the company. HR is there first and foremost to protect the company. In the case of legal, that’s even more the case.

But good on your for speaking up and trying to make the situation better. But I also believe your intern was smart to ask not to name the interlocutor. That would have only made enemies, and probably made things harder on him.

Same situation regarding details. Company hasn't released any info for months, but, people are going into the office from what I've heard. Sorta wish we could get an official statement from leadership.
I think one good strategy is to buy the highest volume product -- the more of a widget someone makes, the better they are at it.

For example, a Ford Focus or Chevy Malibu is a lot more reliable and cheaper to maintain than a fancier and more fun car. Loads of third party parts, etc.

Regarding the mixer, I understand they changed the gears to plastic so they would strip without damaging the motor. Easier to replace a cheap set of seats than an expensive motor.

Dishwashers also save water by only drawing in enough to run half the jets at once. They then switch between which half is active which works just as well for washing but takes twice as long. I don't think many people sit there waiting on the dishwasher so it really doesn't matter that much if it takes 3 hours instead of 1.5h if it means less cost.
Not selling on Amazon doesn’t mean you exit the industry. If this was the case, every retailer would have an Amazon presence, which isn’t true either. You’re merely repeating what was stated earlier.
I'm sick of tech companies giving the only way to decline their preferred approach as "maybe later". No, I'm sure I don't want Bing or Edge next month either. If I change my mind I'm perfectly capable of finding the setting and even if I wasn't I'm sure it's only a DDG (or Bing I guess) search away to docs I'm almost certain you will have
I appreciate that!

Similar to you noticing my Monopoly example, in some other fields I also point out how certain common understandings are usually the worst examples of those things. It was refreshing to be on the receiving end of that, I didn't have another way of articulating what I experienced.
I can't say that it seems to me to work this way. I had a boss that was a brilliant technical person, and talking to customers, assigning clear tasks, no problems. But when (I do security testing, our projects are 0-3 weeks typically) the project got a little bigger than a month and needed a few more hands, but the work was hard to divvy up, shit just hit the fan. Grossly underestimated the amount of work, associated deadline way too tight, and hard to work efficiently when nobody knows what anyone else is doing. He didn't seem to be good at organising this (at the time, idk if they learned in the meantime). But of course this is n=1, perhaps it's an outlier, but so this is one of the handful of bullet points that are somewhere between "needs more explanation" and "my experience is quite the opposite but okay". I'm not sure being a good manager is breaking problems down and assigning the pieces, though of course that must be part of it. Other parts seems to include managing the people that are doing the pieces; communication and organizing communication. Divvying up a big task, ask any engineer indeed...
Thank you for toally missing the point

>>I don’t want a military grade mixer in my kitchen if getting a broken whisk or motor on it is going to require me hunting all over

This is extremely unlikely - military/industrial-grade stuff is designed for heavy duty cycles and decades of use. It is extremely unlikely that you'd see it even hiccup in decades of consumer use.

If you did need a part, the mfgr will have it, because, unlike consumer crap, these products have lifetimes measured in decades, not quarters.

>> is going to suck to make high end pastries because it’s geared towards making mashed potatoes for the troops

not unless you have some specialty unit. And if that is the case, get the industrial version designed for chefs to make industrial quantities of high-grade pastries
Don’t do this, it unfairly dings the seller for something that isn’t their fault. The item isn’t actually defective.
> the worst parts of WPF (styling, verbosity) are still there

WPF is supported in Expression Blend, the tool helps with both styling and verbosity. For optimal UX it needs a bit of support from within the application, to provide design-time data. Ain’t terribly hard to do, and helps a lot when working on WPF GUI apps.

WinUI is not currently supported in Blend.
Value engineering is not a idea known only to kitchen appliances engineers. This was just the example at hand.

Many of the products and services that people buy to support their health, education, security, etc have been made more accessible by value engineering either directly, or in their supply chain.
As for recurring, designers and publishers are always releasing new games and expansions. Games like Dungeons and Dragons, Warhammer, and Magic the Gathering are always releasing updates that encourage updating your materials.
There are a few popular game awards, and the top x games from those tend to sell out everywhere.

There are some game shops that encourage playing but I don't know that I'd call it successful...just not enough money moving to justify the space.
I used terra at least 6 years ago to create a JIT compiler for database queries.

I spent a few hours this week creating a FreeBSD port for Drone, only to find out that the OSS version of Drone doesn't support external workers and since FreeBSD doesn't do Docker, Drone is pretty much useless on FreeBSD. It would be great if it was mentioned in their documentation so I didn't waste my time with Drone, but it's not.
Concourse on the other hand seems to work on FreeBSD and doesn't have artificial limits to try and sell something.
Yes, we hate value engineering because of this bifurcation (it's real, and I've been whining about it for a while too). But I see it somewhat differently than you described:

> value-engineered wares for people who don’t care

You say it like there is a choice involved here. There isn't. This is something that needs repeating - customers choose out of what's available on the market, not out of the space of all possible products. So all products that are hard to make and sell yourself are primarily vendor-driven.

If a market bifurcates like this, I can't announce my preference for the missing middle at all. The split may have happened against my preferences, or it may have happened before I cared, or it may have happened before I was even in the market for that product category. But once it happened, people who'd prefer something better than barely-fit-for-purpose can't get it.

> high-quality end becomes higher quality and three times the price it used to be

If it becomes higher quality. As you mentioned higher up, it frequently becomes different, as it's no longer targeting a large audience.

> The choices of other customers deny you the continued availability

Yes, but again, what choices? These things stick in a feedback loop, a self-fulfilling prophecy. And it doesn't take people choosing the lower-tier option. It takes a company choosing a somewhat lower quality this year than they did the last year, because if done gradually people won't be able to quickly tell (the very job of marketing is to confuse customers about this).

I hate "revealed preferences", I consider them mostly bullshit given the lack of actual choice - but if we want to frame the situation like this: the bifurcation doesn't require that most of the middle-tier consumers "actually prefer" the cheaper option over the middle one. A company will attempt this even if it meant losing middle-tier customers altogether, as long as they believe the expanding lower-tier customer base will make up for it.

What's even more maddening is the interplay with economies of scale - the middle-tier product could've gotten better and cheaper over time, if its broad customer base wasn't stolen by the low-quality option. So the households that couldn't afford the quality option yesterday, would be able to afford it tomorrow - and today would be making use of used ones, because there is such a thing as a market for used goods, which works best when items are durable. But companies often do try to sabotage it, too.

Also: the downwards quality spiral doesn't stop at a reasonable point, it stops at the lowest point where the customers can be duped en-masse, unless stopped by regulatory means either. I'll happily argue that, for most products, the lowest-priced options shouldn't exist in the first place, because they deliver negative value (after accounting for total use costs, with possible future replacement, which most people don't) and endless frustration. I see them as an environmental disaster.
we do have the Horahora station which was submerged in Lake Karapiro when the new dam was built- but that's one architecture that will likely not be missed.

Agreed! I think a hybrid model is best. 2-3 days in office, with a couple WFH days during the week.
It's a bit terrifying that people on twitter seem to think this is an intentional product decision rather than a bug plus shitty automated support with no human in the loop.

I guess if you keep setting OKRs like "5% lower support call volume" for years then at some point your reputational risk goes up because you've made it impossible to contact an actual human being.

Given the NYT’s overall style and editorial choices these days, it’s a fair heading more broadly.

Prime case in point: They have elevated opinionated moral crusading over responsible and informative reporting. If moral activism is the value the organization purports to elevate, it’s fair to call the organization dishonest when it employs transparently immoral business practices. Whether the editorial board is involved or not.
I think 60M is the lower end of the estimate, which at the high end is around 75M, so I suppose 69 isn't a bad middle ground.

And yeah, as I wrote my comment I also envisioned self-recharging drones as a logical next step. If you're going fully autonomous, why keep any requirement to come back to base? The one in this story was kamikaze, but if you needed something with more of a punch that became expensive enough to require reusability, then you could have it come home, or just station autonomous ammunition stations at strategic locations.
For years, every AT&T and Comcast salesperson I talked with quoted me megabytes per second instead of megabits per second.

They would insist that they were right if I ever asked them to clarify the units of measurement. One time the salesperson was so sure that he was right that he conferenced in a tech support person…who informed him they did not sell megabytes/second, only megabits. The salesperson was very confused.

I no longer even bother asking anymore.
