> E: do you know if the Hasbro version (newer, with far uglier box) has any rule changes compared to the WotC original?

Yes. There's "Primary", "Secondary" and "Tertiary" bonuses (instead of the previous "Major" and "Minor" bonuses) on Acquires.

So while the rules and overall gameplay is different, the subtle strategies have changed.

--------------

WotC wasn't the original btw. 3M made the original in the 1960s, back when 3M tried to make board games.

The Hasbro 2013 version is probably the best recent version. Its all cardboard instead of 3d plastic, but its printed clearly and feels nice. The newest, ugly printing has very hard to read tiles, and many players suggest spending a few minutes with a silver-permanent marker recoloring the tiles to actually have enough contrast to see.
I’m stoked on this.
Brave search may truly bring some new blood to the browser/search wars.
This is what we desperately need as google gets less and less useful.
Just like the days when every program would pop up warning after warning asking, "are you sure?". After a while users started to treat them as annoyances interfering with the task and automatically close them. They became worse than useless because among the noise there would sometimes be serious events that would lead to corruption or loss of data.

Seriously, this is a laughable concern – if you have a "public facing server" you're already listed in Google, Shodan, being probed by dozens of IPs across the world...
If people around you are happy and things get done when they need to and others don't get blocked, it sounds like you are doing a great job and are merely baffled at how effecient you've gotten!

If you have any interest, consider trying management? A lazy manager is a good manager, in the same long-term sense as a lazy developer is a good developer. Knowing what the real priorities are despite the bluster is a key manager skill. Nothing more wasteful than putting in tons of hours on a project that sounds important but ultimately isn't to the stakeholders that run the company, and the best managers have an incredible ability to read between the lines and predict what will end up mattering, and prioritize their own teams work accordingly.

My PleX server last week, running on CentOS 7 in a docker container, seemed to have trouble with streams that previously played fine. There was a kernel update for CentOS 7.x recently, too. Now I'm wondering if this is the cause.

The container hasn't been rebuilt in many months (like 7) and the only thing that has changed on the machine is CentOS updates.

ADHD and WFH have basically been a death sentence for me in regards to my output and velocity. Some days are good, some days are horrible. As someone who received their ADHD diagnosis at 22 (well after I fumbled through a CS degree wondering if I was a moron, while also working part time at startups) it changed my life. Ignorant people will say "nobody needs stimmies" but 5mg Adderall has legitimately changed my life and given me another 3/4 of mental capacity back.
Hi (author) - for me Silice brings comfort while designing, simplicity of reuse (groups+interfaces making it easy to assemble components), a syntax that is more to my taste (obviously ;) ) and ease of prototyping with the 'control-flow' FSM style and pipeline constructs. Plus the Lua pre-processor that I enjoy using. All this while staying close to Verilog and being able to inter-operate easily.

I also try to build an environment around Silice so that one can easily get started and enjoy testing things, experimenting with relatively advanced projects that are also (for several) explained in details. (The build system relies upon many great projects: yosys, nextpnr, edalize, openfpgaloader, verilator, icarus, etc.)

But this is a very subjective thing ; I absolutely understand that others may not like it or feel it is not necessary, being already expert at other tools. Also, I would never argue that one should use Silice instead of X. Take a look at the repo, checkout a few projects (I recommend 'vga_demo', 'terrain', 'ice-v', 'pipeline_sort' and, for pushing beyond reasonable, 'doomchip'). If you see something you might like, perhaps try making a simple design, see if that is a good tool for you.

Brave is just a browser. It exists to empower the user, regardless of their personal politics. On "editorial choices," we've proposed Goggles, which you can read more about at https://brave.com/goggles.

As someone with RSI, this is absolutely a good way to look at it.

Congrats! You have found a comfortable job. Also my condolences, you've found a comfortable job.

Jobs like these are a warm and cozy trap. If you're spending time reading blogs you may not be spending your time in a way you can look back on with pride. Time is your ultimate limited resource and the one thing you will regret not spending more wisely.

Depending on your risk tolerance I recommend:

1. Quit, start a company of your own.

2. Quit, get one or more remote jobs.

3. Work on open source during work time.

4. Volunteer for something that benefits you and uses your time better (e.g. running training sessions on tech you know / want to know)

5. Reduce your life costs, accumulate money, retire early (FIRE)

When was the last time we've raised tax rates appreciably? The graph I found shows the top marginal tax rate hovering around 30-40% since 1986, and the last major tax increase (> ~10%) being 1949.

> However, it's not like Sim City is expected to include every single aspect of city development and growth as a factor, nor is it expected to be some kind of acceptably accurate depiction of city development.

Agreed, but SimCity was marketed for realism and used for education. The OP writes:

> Over and over, the SimCity series invoked “realism” as a selling point. SimCity 2000’s box playfully warns: “If this game was any more realistic, it’d be illegal to turn it off!”

> SimCity has been used and is being used as educational tool ... shaping the way a lot of people understand or misunderstand city planning.
thanks so much for the info! gonna try and get one of the older versions soon now
The article ends with the following:

> In conclusion, I’ve been trying for years to imagine an alternative SimCity.

> And I realized that the biggest fallacy of a City simulator is to try to present itself as an all-encompassing system, supposedly capable of describing many possible cities.

> I believe that in order to move away from the SimCity paradigm we need many different city simulations, each one limiting its scope to certain dynamics, certain contexts.

Does anyone have suggestions for a more prescriptive SimCity? something more limited in scope and egalitarian?

That's true for individual comments, but there's a total karma score that everyone can see. And even for individual comments you can see when they're downvoted.

A tweet maxes out at 0. You can't have negative likes.

> It can still lead to people trying to maximize score instead of content.

Sure. You have that tradeoff in any system. If you don't have anything that is in some sense a "score" at all, people might not particpate at all, or not put any effort into it, if you do have a score then people might try to maximize it in ways you don't like.
Exactly this. The flow should be:

* Look up keys that I trust

* Check if the signature verifies against any of those keys

Key hints can aid in selection here if you have many trusted keys, but you can also just loop through.

Not:

* verify the signature

* check if the key matches one I trust

The second is much more dangerous, a "valid" signature from an untrusted key is just as bad as an "invalid" signature from a trusted key. There's no reason to treat these states as different.

What incentive do Google and Bing have to share free SERP data to Brave in an anonymous channel?
I really don't understand Brave. What special thing do they offer that people actually want? The main concrete selling point seems to built-in ad blockers, but we've had that for ages in every other browser. They have some crypto stuff going on, I'll be honest, I don't understand it, because I don't care, I just want to browse the web. That should be possible without a blockchain. They claim performance is better, but at the end of the day, it's chromium, I'm skeptical that they can do much to make a huge difference. Now they're offering yet another search tool. ok. If they didn't market themselves so aggressively in tech circles I think we would have all forgotten about this.

You were not talking about people who are not paying the rent. You were talking about people who could potentially buy a house.

What you are failing to account for are unaccounted for costs of being a “good” renter.

A great deal of Landlords do not promptly take care of problems.

They don’t take care of the property. And in general they don’t act professionally.

I managed an apartment building in Oakland several years ago. The landlords for an older couple that cut corners all of the time.

Their posture was that the people living there did not care if the place was nice. So it was not worth investing money in trying to make it nice.

Except their idea of investment was just normal maintenance other than the least possible expense to comply with the law.

They hired their kid to paint the building even though it was obviously done very poorly.

All of the windows had paint splattered all of them. Electrical work would include stapling over extension cord wires.

Even in hiring me to manage the place they did it primarily to comply not because they wanted professional management.

I’ve seen this in two other rentals I’ve been in.

Even when the rent is higher than market, landlords too often cut corners to squeeze as much money out of properties as possible.

From what I can tell, they do it because they’re either greedy or they see housing as a business instead of a need.

Like I said, most of the focus is on eviction. But it is the day-to-day apathy of landlords that creates costs for renters that go unaccounted.
I'm not sure it's feasible to meaningfully regulate/legislate what a "healthy bank account" is for such a company. There is always risk that, when the going gets tough, the company will transfer funds (e.g. by purchasing some "consultation services" from a tightly-controlled shell company), or that it will get into too many lawsuits, losses on which will still exceed the available balance.

> There are a variety of reasons why forming a "real company" that produces products might not be practical. For example you might be in a field where the startup costs for a competitive company is in the billions (silicon manufacturing), or that is a natural monopoly already monopolized by one or two big companies (operating systems). Your competitors also have patents on things that you would need to be competitive and for whatever reason you aren't willing to license them.

But what are you doing with those patents, then? As much as we both consider them to be a bad idea, patents are supposed to be a vehicle to promote tangible advancements in the field, to encourage development and manufacturing. If you don't produce anything but just stop anybody else from doing that, or just collect rent by granting out permissions, you are not using patents "correctly".

They can pick up low priority tasks and if something of high priority comes in, it takes the precedence. An employee can also learn new tasks, rotate to different teams, cross train, fix old code / refactor, take a sabbatical-on-call, write documentation, etc which do not get in the way of taking on high-burst high-priority tasks. This is far better in terms of company's productivity than pretend-work that the OP is describing.

I don't think its better for the company as you suggest. It is possible to use good sense of prioritization and still have 'extra capacity'.

People want a browser with an ad-blocker, and are too lazy to configure it themselves. Brave adds it and starts some "tell your friends" marketing hype. The rest writes itself.
Check this recent podcast with Brave‘s founder, where, among other things, he is talking about how the search is implemented: https://podcasts.apple.com/de/podcast/modern-finance/id13386...
Also interesting search for 'jan 6' and compare. It seems Brave and Google return similar results which differ from Bing and Duckduckgo, which resemble each other.
The problem is that referral programs are intended to get people who wouldn't have signed up for a site to use it, and for binance that means getting people not already signed up to sign up and trade crypto on binance.us. This includes the referer getting up to 40% of trading fees[0]. Even for the example where a user chooses between the search 'binance' and `binance.us/?ref=`, in both cases they were already planning to visit and/or sign up for the crypto trading site, Brave didn't do any referring themselves. The profit sharing aspect makes it far-removed from the notion of just being for traffic attribution.

Looks like bogus statistics to me. (Caveat: I only read the sciencealert link not the underlying publication). But with a sample of 89 "events" over a purported 10-cycle period we are in the small sample realm where it is easy to get spurious apparent relationships.

People love to see patterns, and if you aren't really careful you can "prove" a pattern in essentially random data.
Well I'd be interested in hearing how Brave search was able to surface results faster than Google yesterday... YouTube (another Alphabet echo chamber) was/is also removing video of the ambulance incident, so it was definitely on the big tech thought police radar.

How did exactly did you treat people in your 20's?
I do the same at Amazon fwiw.
Do tell. What are the strong financial incentives, and who has them?
No, I'm pretty sure it's true. I had to spend a ton of time explaining what I did and its values to my managers, like writing "ELI5" docs and then suddenly when they "got it" they paid very close attention to my work, and formed a team around me and established scope and got headcount.

This is the messaging I got every single quarter:
"""David, your work is very good. All the people you work with say you're great and it's clear you are adding value, but you need to spend more time finding metrics that demonstrate that value and improving those. Also, if you want to get higher ratings, here is a whole bunch of extra management work and document-writing to do. If you do that, we can make a case for Exceeds and eventually a promotion"""

What I concluded was that I was better as an L6 than an L7 (L7 at google has a lot more responsibility, and far fewer job opptys) and I knew the value I was adding to the company without having to spend weeks cooking up metrics dashboards.
