Agreed, however there's clearly a balance here between something like turning milk into butter and patenting the maglev train. If you develop a sophisticated way that is unmatched by your competitors in which wireless speakers can transmit radio signals carrying audio. In a way that has little interruption across weak WiFi signals throughout a home and that's purely your business and innovation platform. Then I see no problem in it.

Heck Apple have a patent for a paper bag... my point is that its not necessarily about patenting turning milk into butter, but if you find a way to do it better than anyone has and you are a business that has put all of your R&D into perfecting that process in a market of other butter makers, then its fine. If they want your invention they can pay for it.

> They are forced by circumstance to make a bad decision

To be more precise it's not a bad decision, on the contrary - it's the optimal one. You definitely need to keep some cash for unforeseen events - and if you don't, this can be called a "bad decision".
In both cases, I think there's also an aspirational element. The perfect product is one with the perfect solution, but it just needs you, your skills, your powers. "Out of the box" just needs an astute cheque signer to make the right decisions. The skills to operate it are commodities, acquirable. Perfect... for an astute cheque signer like the one being marketed to.

Perfect to a nerd is different. It needs to require them somehow. "Anyone can do it" is not going to win over a nerd. "You can do" it might. If you're selling AI cancer detection to a hospital, "out of the box" is great. If you're selling to radiologists, they'll probably be more skeptical of solutions that don't involve them. Products (or even just stories) that empower & require them might.

I agree with the blog, but it's a little naive. It euphemizes, or dances around the relationship between "marketing" and razzle dazzle. If someone is hours deep into your documentation, that's not really advertising. That's a real service they're consuming, and forming opinions based on how it tastes. Marketing is more about the impression they get in minutes, not hours.

Ideally, there's a healthy interplay between marketing, the impression that you're intentionally projecting, and doing. But, they're still kind of independant.

Anyway, nerds aren't that hard to market to. They're just like anyone else. Flatter them. Make them feel important, listened to, consequential. Appeal to their ego, their better nature, their fears, etc. Also deliver. Good documentation, as judged by those using it, is delivering. Making it seem like it it will be pleasant to use, is marketing. Making it look a certain way, but not delivering, is bullshitting.
I think you're agreeing that user experience is not the only factor, but worded in a way that appears to disagree. Sort of nullifies my point.
I don't dislike marketing that hides the details because it hurts my ego. I dislike it because I assume I am being scammed. Details are evidence of honesty, both in marketing and in real life, because every detail is a chance for somebody to slip up and expose their lies. If they're telling the truth, why hide the details?
But the only reason why they would need to is for hiring. If they needed to for their business model they would but they don't sell to you or I.

I work for a hedge fund, we have almost no online presence because it just isn't relevant to what the company gets up to.
People forget that marketing is the ‘interface to the consumer’ and not a synonym for ‘bullshit’.

Nokia Communicator was insane. Telnet/ssh connection was a game changer. It was device for professionals, not for mass market.

Selling same core concept to both mass markets and professionals

* has decreased input ergonomics for heavy users.

Star Wars was never considered nerdy, it was mainstream even when it released 44 years ago. Same thing with the superman movie, it was released around then as well and was a huge mainstream success. So I'm not sure what you are talking about.

I think Nokias 7650 deserves also mention. Launched in 2001/2002 it arguably laid the foundation for mainstream smartphones, while Communicators were inevitably doomed to be niche devices. 7650 had also many of the hallmarks of modern smartphone, at least compared to Communicators which were more of evolutionary dead end.

That's because most nations do have an established practice of putting their own war criminals on trial. It's good for building trust, which is quite beneficial in the longer run. The U.S. have slipped somewhat, but then they make up for that by literally paying for much of the civilized world's security, so they're still quite good on net.

Lots of these comments are pointing out the lack of security at T-Mobile. For somebody looking to change from T-Mobile because of that reason, which, if any, of the US carriers are known to take security seriously?
I think there indeed needs to be more story to detain him but it isn't up to him to provide a defense. It is well known that Gitmo contains people without any legal instrument. Of course a state should be held accountable for imprisioning people without accusations. Although that seems to be a pattern of the United States if you look what the attorney general in Missouri does with innocents.

There probably are bad people among those imprisoned and there just isn't enough evidence to convict them. The damage they can cause isn't on the level to committing treason towards your own alleged values.

The US also has spawned a lot of defense contractors the last 20 years that now will look inward to find business opportunities if no other external threat can be summoned. That will probably not be pretty.

To me it seems you both are really talking about the different parts of the same elephant. One of the Marx's objections about capitalism was if the capitalists are being rewarded for building services by additional capital ownership, who are they eventually gonna provide additional services to that this additional capital generates?

And so we finally arrived at this endgame. This manifests as low demand, both from labor (unemployment is keeping wages down) and firms (lack of competition caused by lack of investment opportunities because of predicted lack of demand).
> This happens with a lot of things in politics, the compromise is usually to just set a future date when you start doing the right thing and give amnesty to people before that

I really don't think that's a great idea for war crimes. They're already illegal, and absolutely despicable. Some really terrible things were done, they should be punished - saying from 2030 we'll really punish war criminals doesn't inspire confidence, and probably won't be an actual deterrent until the US starts enforcing it en masse.
Don't mistake the BBC for a "not-for-profit". BBC Worldwide is a commmercial operation. The BBC has large shares in various commercial TV operations.

The only parts of the BBC that are arguably not-for-profit are iPlayer, and domestic TV and Radio; and the BBC World Service. These are paid for by a controversial hypothecated tax, controlled by the government of the day; as a consequence, the Beeb is fairly consistently pro the government of the day, and anti the official opposition (they can see which side their bread is buttered on).

[Edit] The World Service is paid for out of general taxation, specifically the Foreign Office budget. It's not paid for out of the Licence Fee.

>it seems to me the US has done a fairly decent job of holding themselves accountable.

That's easy to claim when you're the one doing the investigation. By refusing to co-operate with the International Criminal Court, the US has signalled it will not be held responsible for war crimes unless it's convenient for it. That decision is not great for the US's optics.

I say that as someone whose ancestors were invaded by both US and Soviet forces, and I happen to think US forces really are less likely to commit war crimes - but that seems more a result of rugged individuals holding themselves to a higher standard, "The US" seems to have acted as badly as any other large, unaccountable institution would.
It's still ambiguous.

Disclaimer: I loved the original Settlers II a ton as a kid and it still has a special place in my heart.

Widelands is pretty much a clone of Settlers II and stays close to its formula, including the graphical presentation which keeps the ca. 1995 isometric 2D graphics alive. The game is better described as a base builder / city builder game with the goal of expanding one's own territory to cover a certain goal point. Conflict arises because said point is usually in an opposing faction's territory and you have to take it by force. Combat is very indirect with no direct control over any units and thus there is virtually no tactics other than trying to man your posts with more better equipped and better trained soldiers. In essence, your military strength is mostly function of how well your backing industry works.

Gameplay in the Settler series feels much like the Anno series after it in that there is a military component that comes into play late in the game. Most of the game is leading up to it, but has you focus on building a thriving colony in its own right. Within the Settlers series, Settlers II is unique in that it has a transport system of paths and cutesy carriers that needs a lot of attention from the player to avoid clogging and collapse. Terrain factors a lot into this, too. Later entries in the series have done away with most of this, which changed the feel of the games a lot.

Unless things have changed, 0 A.D. is a straight up RTS with direct unit control and less base building. Moment to moment tactics matter. To me, it seems vaguely inspired by the Warcraft and Age of Empires lines games, but is not sticking very close to any one of these formulas.
