Well there ya go, I called you on trite generalizations and hyperbole. Adding no truth or insight to the discussion.

I for one think this is a future proofing move with little current utility. However I’m not one who thinks the AR/VR/ 3D Models in browser bandwagon is going anywhere within the next 5 years.

California's /land/ was mostly red...in terms of actual people it was 2:1 voting blue:red. Land doesn't vote.
The pattern here is the marketing / OOBE team of these companies assuming that every new installation maps to a user new to the software, such that "learning to use the software" is an important task to shove in the face of anyone who has a new computer, regardless of how experienced a user they might be.

It'd be easy enough to e.g. disable the "see what's new in [OS version]" pop-up if the user is importing their data from another computer that was already of that same OS version. But code like that doesn't get written, because it'd actively work against the KPIs that these teams are being judged by. They're trying to game those metrics by getting (forcing) as many people to click the box as possible, even when they know that the content does nothing for those users.

That's pretty "dark" — though it's not a dark UX pattern. More of a dark business-management pattern.
Huh. Maybe the contract is a bit more formal/permanent than I understood, or maybe it has become that since the podcast. It does look like that's the case, his Twitter account also just says "Currently Panic/Playdate". Thanks!
Yes, but you'd have to connect the Docker CLI running in Windows to the engine inside Ubuntu (not hard), and then you wouldn't be able to mount stuff in Windows into Docker containers via relative paths (you'd have to start them with /mnt/c/...). If neither of those things matter for you (like if all of your project code is inside your WSL VM), then it's totally fine.

Sounds like a lack of exposure to me. With enough experience you should have no trouble to tell if others are speaking in a certain manner that is associated with male, female, child, teen, boss, subordinate, etc. etc. If you can tell you should have no problem talking correctly, or at least the way you want to be perceived by others.

If you can't tell the difference in how others use the language in stereotypical ways, you've basically not yet mastered the language.

I know from learning Japanese a bit myself. People often say using sources like anime and manga will make you sound like an anime character, which I think is ridiculous. Even in anime there are characters that talk quite normally (in fact a lot of them do, depending on what you watch, taking into account their age, gender, who they talk to, occupation and status, etc.) and it's easy enough to tell how actual usage in real life differs in real life by using some other sources, too. But even with only anime and manga as source, just use your brain and don't talk like friggin Naruto and you'd sound pretty normal. Given enough input variety at least.

This doesn't really seem like the right abstraction. 3D models are inherently interactive.

There could be some value in supporting 3D video, where interaction is inherently limited to 3 degrees of freedom. There may even be value to the "videos" being represented as 3D scenes with animation i.e. rendered on the device.

However, "models" are something you need to interact with. To achieve an even remotely acceptable level of UX those interactions absolutely need to be custom tailored for the content.

Let's say you want to display a 3D building interior. If you're going to allow any form of free camera movement, you need to define how that logic works.

Do we want first person walk-through? If so, you need collision detection. For simplicity, let's assume you can walk through walls. However, at the very least you'll want to walk on the floor. What about split levels and stairs?

No. That sounds too hard. We'll rule out walk-through. We've now got a floating camera, and it'll happily pass through any geometry.

Now, should the camera orbit around a point, or is a first-person flying camera more appropriate?

Wait, how fast should the camera even move when you indicate you wish to move forward? Okay, let's make that configurable.

What if you have two points of interest and a large gap in between? How do we get from one area to other? Should the camera travel faster in this area? Should there be some standard mechanism to jump to another location in the scene?

Hmm, too hard. Let's ignore that problem for now.

Should there be constraints with respect to how far you can zoom in and out? I guess we could define that in the file somehow.

Okay.

Animation tracks. They were mentioned. Do they all auto-play? Is that going to be performant? What if we want to trigger animation tracks based on camera location or some other event?

We'll need, like a DOM, I guess?

> while we are not proposing a DOM for the data at the moment, we expect to in the future

Ah, right. Well. Let's assume in the future there's a DOM.

Wait? How do we interact with the DOM? JavaScript somewhere? Where are we collecting user events from to drive this interaction? Can we display UIs within the 3D scene and receive events? How do we build those UIs?

This snowballs real fast. The solution you're going to end up with is WebGL/WebGPU. Anything less than that is far too restrictive and going to make for a terrible user experience.

I think this is conflating growth with technological advancement. One can grow without technical advance (e.g. farming on more land produces more, feeds more, uses more, etc) or advance technically without growth (using your examples, we can reduce infant mortality and have the same amount of children, defend ourselves better, etc without needing to necessarily use more, generate more stuff)

What I find remarkable is that this isn't part of any grand conspiracy - it's simply the natural outcome of having social media.

We really do need a better architecture for social media that rewards mature discussion, rather than the outrage machine we've currently cursed society with.

...and I think we need to stop trying to create a platform that's for everyone. Less is more. As adults, we do not need to share a platform with hormonal teenagers. ...of course age is a very simplistic broad-brush segmentation. At heart, what makes sense is some sort of meritocratic forum.

Speaking of land value taxes, I fully understand that homeowners do not want to be kicked out but there has to be a middle ground.

A progressive land tax would tax owner occupied housing less but then collect the shortfall when the owner sells his land. If for any reason the owner cannot pay, he can apply to defer taxes for 5 years which then result in eviction if the taxes are still due and the property will automatically be upzoned to prevent future evictions.

Land owned by companies does not qualify as owner occupied to prevent share deals.

Property investors will face increasingly higher land value taxes the more land they own in a single location. The idea is that instead of investing in thousands of plots in the same top 10 cities they will have a presence in multiple different cities. This should result in competition between landlords instead of regional consolidation like ISPs have done in the US.

And now the cherry on top. Deduct paid land value taxes from taxable income of the tenant or owner occupant. Finally, lower income taxes across the board and remove the deduction.

Ok, enough about land value taxes. The reason why I personally am against rent control is actually the reason why a minimum wage works. Supply and demand aren't perfectly inelastic. Raising the minimum wage turns the government into a union. But the real question is, who does this hypothetical union serve? People imagine that it will help minimum wage workers but that is just a story to sell the policy. The truth is that it works because the only people impacted by the policy are the poor. Any market distortion that the minimum wage achieves primarily benefits those who are below the previous level. If corporations are cash rich they can simply afford the higher wages so unemployment isn't as big a deal as the theory tells us. The downside of losing jobs that pay less than minimum wage may be overstated because those jobs merely save the government a few dollars on welfare but do not contribute to a meaningful existence.

Now, if a minimum wage has an impact on the poor then who does rent control have an impact on? Rent control is a price ceiling. Who is paying the most for rent? Of course, those who can afford high rents. There are lots of high end apartments that are simply not meant for low income people in which reliable and affluent tenants live in. Yet rent control starts with the most expensive housing first. Poor tenants are usually paying bottom or mid end housing. It doesn't reach them at all. What often happens as a result is that landlords raise rent on low and mid end housing to compensate for losses on high end housing. In my opinion people who advocate for rent control simply do not understand the policy they vote for.

It's a ban on renting in a market that badly needs more rental units.
Off-topic story time: A few years back I had a conversation with a friend of mine. I knew we both leaned left on a lot of the same things but this particular day we started talking about politics. Turns out he was a rather devoted democrat. I eventually came around to mentioning my belief that the two-party system was the worst thing about our democracy and that both parties basically exist only to fight each other, which means rationality is by default excluded from US politics.

Wow, he did not like that one bit. I'm pretty sure we would still be speaking today if I just lied and said I was a republican!
Super excited to see this. I'm on my fifth pair of Allbirds - by far the most comfortable shoes I've had in a while and I like the way they look. My only gripe with them is how easy they get dirty if you get the lighter-colored ones.

I was a grad student at CMU CS in the early 90s. The assholishness on the opinion bb was mostly performative. Imagine a bunch of kids in their 20s field testing opinions that they were not necessarily committed to.

The RPP was great for a graduate computer science department. I only learned years later that not everyone is reasonable...
The Code of Conduct for United States Judges[1] Canon 3(C)(1):

> (C) Disqualification.

> (1) A judge shall disqualify himself or herself in a proceeding in which the judge’s impartiality might reasonably be questioned, including but not limited to instances in which:

> …

> (c) the judge knows that the judge, individually or as a fiduciary, or the judge’s spouse or minor child residing in the judge’s household, has a financial interest in the subject matter in controversy or in a party to the proceeding, or any other interest that could be affected substantially by the outcome of the proceeding;

The interesting (IMO) tidbit here is the “knowledge” aspect of the canon. Presumably the Judge was unaware of their investment (rather than unaware of their ethical obligations) and, by my reading at least, where they had no knowledge of their financial interest they had no obligation to recuse. Although I do think it’s reasonable to expect Judges to conduct a conflicts check prior to hearing a case that would involve making themselves aware of any interest they might have in the public companies appearing before them.

OC> And richer players have access better to cards that poorer payers can never hope to be dealt.

Am I? Was it you who set the goalpost wherein Magic is only about tournament-level play and not a casual game? Or does it seem to you that the OC's comment might be a statement about the economic situation in the broader cultural context that the game exists in?

I like how you say "almost competitive decks." Granted, I haven't played for over a good decade, but through the ~15 years that I did play, powerful rares were typically between several dollars and tens of dollars. The decks of my richer friends were stuffed to the gills with such cards -- it adds up, and a good deck can cost a couple hundred bucks. That might be spare change for you, but it isn't for a lot of magic players. And like, a draft game is fun but at a cost of 4 boosters per player, that's not pocket change. We'd use rules like "all commons" to level the playing field.

Is'nt this the case for pretty much any relationship?

A father-son relation or even a spouse relationship in many cases?

The formal process should always be available, but more like a last stop. It can document what informal steps were taken, (they likely failed - thats why they are doing it). Now both parties are sort of shamed if there were steps missed?

Is there harm in trying out a private meeting, knowing one can always have formal channels available at their disposal?

Probably I am lucky but I don't meet a lot of people who use Twitter outside Twitter.

I believe that Twitter is not a cultural influencer as much as a product used by people who already have a rather shallow philosophy. So I do not buy into the cultural decadence argument since they fail to convince me that Twitter-like media significantly influence people behavior.
Licensing isn't perfect. On the contrary, it is the least worst implementation of attempting to extract a reasonable amount of revenue from the user of your software, who is realizing value creation or benefit themselves from its use. SaaS is popular because the exchange of value between producer and consumer (and the ownership and responsibility model) is much more clear (imho). Open source tooling might be a better fit based on your org's needs and your use case.

Solving for the intersection of building and maintaining tools people desire and those building said tools eating and paying rent is hard.

Counter-intuitively, my parents have stayed happily married for a very long time and my dad is significantly more conservative than my mom (although my mom has become more "conservative" in the current decade in reaction to how extreme rhetoric on the left has become in the US). I am about to propose to my long-time partner who is significantly more to the left than I am (we are both to the left, I'm barely left of center, my partner is barely to the right of the the edge of the chart).

There used to be the phrase "opposites attract". I think there are value systems which underlie politics that need to match up, but those value systems don't necessarily translate into the exact same political beliefs. In fact, in the US historically, men tended to be more conservative and women more progressive, and I don't see that really changing in the current times. Most of my male friends are more conservative than their partners, even as most of us are left of center. This is true, anecdotally, among the people I know across educational attainment and income.

On the flip side, when I was still dating, I always brought up politics and religion on the first date because it helped me filter people out. I didn't filter people out because we disagreed politically, but because of /how/ we disagreed (or rather how /they/ disagreed) politically. It was surprising the number of people who were exceedingly disagreeable about politics, completely unable to have a polite conversation on the topic, where any hint of dissent from their view was met with vehemence, even in person in a face-to-face conversation. My experience up to that point was this was how things worked online, but you could have a conversation with someone very different from you over a beer and it'd be alright face-to-face. Dating changed my outlook on this.

I think this was a good filter, because while politics was the topic of discussion, the filter had nothing to do with beliefs and everything to do with agreeableness, reasonableness, and behavior. In effect, it became a very good way to filter out assholes, of which there are many, unfortunately the majority of eligible persons in my dating pool. But, no regrets on this filter, because my current partner is wonderful and was found after many years of searching using this filter.

My parents relationship, the relationships of my friends (most of whom are married), and my own relationship are all anecdotal, but strong evidence that supports you don't need to politically agree to date successfully and have a long-term relationship or marriage. But it does require the two people involved to not be vehement zealots who dehumanize anyone that disagrees with them, which unfortunately is becoming a rarer situation thanks to the extremist echo chambers we've created online.
> because buying stocks doesn't push interest rates down

But it does.

Either money can go into consumption goods, or it can go into investment goods. If it goes to investment goods, it does not go to consumption goods(this statement seems wrong to me, someone sold the stock and now has money, which they could spend on consumption, and yet seems to be true. Where is all this money going? Why does the M2V fall? If anybody can bring feedback on this I would appreciate it.) The Fed has an inflation target of 2%, and their main path to doing so is by balancing the creation of new money by changing the interest rate. When money is invested, inflation as tracked by PCE stays low. Therefore the Fed needs to drop interest rates further to hit their target.

Who can take out the new debt by lower rates? The people with the most creditworthiness. The rich. What do they do with that debt? Invest it. Who collectively creates the most debt? Companies creating bonds to buyback their own stock. The more wealth inequality there is, the more that money goes to investments, the less it effects consumption, the less of an effect changing interest rates has on inflation.

But it's a trap, as money can at any time flip from investment goods to consumption goods. On a dime these savers can choose to spend and suddenly we get way to much inflation. So the Fed has to ensure that investment goods always provide more long-term utility than consumption goods. But by investment goods out-competing, this only makes the problem worse. Wealth inequality grows further. They have to be even more sure that the wealthy choose investments. The Fed becomes even less able to move the inflation rate higher. Vicious cycle.

We've been going down this road for 50 years so far. Anytime the Effective Fed Rate has been above the 30 year[0], we get a yield curve inversion and soon run into a recession. I believe that's because anytime that the yield curve inverts, the wealthy work out that it is better for their money to be in consumption goods than investment goods, and thus they start DCA their funds out of the stock market, which causes a crash.

But take a second look at that chart. The 30 year keeps dropping. Will the 30 year hit 0? Will it go negative? If it does go negative, thanks to the yield curve recession hat would follow, does the Fed Rate need to go negative to follow it? It seems we've got about 10 years to answer these questions before it reaches 0. And remember, 15% rate -> 7.5% is the same difference as 4% to 2%, which is the same as 0.5% to 0.25% and 0.0005% to 0.00025%. We've got so many M2 doublings still ahead of us.

> Phones and tablets are passive consumption and quick communication devices only, the exact opposite of what we should be encouraging in many ways.

They are really far from being "passive consumption and quick communication devices only". They're outstanding tools & aids for all kinds of things, most of which desktops and laptops are much worse for. What's with HN and labelling phones and tablets a "consumption devices"? It's wildly incorrect, to the point that it doesn't stand up to a moment's scrutiny.

There's large, and there's scope. I use VSCode to dabble in dozens of projects across a dozen languages at a time, often coming back to fix things after years. VSCode is great at telling me what I did in the current project, but I can't remember library calls or even syntax without looking at something I wrote before. My efficiency is perhaps 50% at recalling where to look; a tool that kept my entire corpus at my fingertips would be extremely welcome. But I'm failing to see how this is that.
