I mostly agree with your reply, and can thus, using my own rules, reply to you. I don't think I am 100% right. I don't think replying is 100% right. At this point the only person who will ever see this message is you, so it's clear that my reply should 100% be to your comment.

I've picked up habbits on Reddit, and on Reddit replying like this is absolutely correct. On here it matters less(perhaps not at all), but the more people join, the more it matters.

I've got a feeling this is result of the reply system having a single option. It's to simple, so we get issues like this. I look to sites like StackOverflow that have Answer - Comment - Chat hierarchy for guidance here. I think if someone is going to over-take Reddit, this being done correctly will play a big part.
Who looks at video games today and thinks “what I want is to spend increasingly absurd amounts of money for in-game items”?

That kind of microtransaction garbage is already ruining many games without the need for this NFT nonsense on top of it. The only people who want more of that are the people who think it’ll make them rich.
There was an incredibly positive vibe around Bitcoin in 2011. It was still seen as a currency and not something to invest in to get rich fast.

I bought a "beta edition" regular PinePhone and it seemed anything but "beta." Random crashes after boot every 30 seconds, even with "workarounds" such as patching the memory frequency (really?). This may have been a hardware defect but one of the nice things about calling everything a "beta" as an excuse for the flakiness I'll never know. It was essentially a paperweight, not something that would enable me to become a "contributor."

You'd be surprised. What I work on is relatively mundane. I worked at multiple FAANG companies in the past and the work there is mostly mundane too.

For the most part the difference is in the order of magnitude of users that you have, so you get to look at edge cases more often, need to be more careful about having a stable codebase etc, but writing a Web service that gets X in input and spits out Y in output is not rocket science.

I think the carpenter/woodworker analogy for software engineering works pretty well. The very expensive carpenters do the same work as the inexpensive ones, the difference is in the details.

If the price is under $1, the backer can purchase the coins with reserves and pocket the difference. The price will only depart from the peg if selling forces the market price down and the backer doesn't have enough reserves to purchase tokens sold beneath the peg. This scenario is similar to a bank run and would require high selling volume to set if off.

The lending rates are determined by a separate mechanism and reflect the probability of a future departure from the peg.

> there isn't really any compelling evidence to suggest that men are more drawn to engineering because of biology.

That's completely false. There's lots of published research on this subject. The existence of said evidence is routinely being denied, but there have been numerous studies. One of the most famous studies established that female infants tend to be more interested in looking at human faces than boy infants, and boys generally more interested in looking at things.

This is generally referred to as a "things vs people" preference. With women generally being more people oriented, and men being more "thing" oriented. Again, there is no relationship to performance here. Nobody is claiming that either of these is better than the other. It's just a very consistent finding across many many studies, and the fact that this is still controversial boggles the mind. Politics are preventing us, as a species, from properly understanding ourselves.

This is a meta-analysis of infant sex vs toy preference:
https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s10508-019-01624-7

This still makes absolutely no sense to me. The developer of Runescape is not going to collaborate with the developer of Warcraft to give them a copy of the model, figure out how the stats translate, put the textures in the right format, etc. Games use completely different equations for damage, defense, speed, etc. It's 100% magical thinking.

Even if you did have game items transferring across totally unrelated games, you'd _want_ a centralized database to make bug fixes possible. After all, games as a class of programs aren't known for being bug-free.
I'd argue that go is statically typed rather than strongly typed due to `interface{}`.

> There is no real agreement on what "strongly typed" means, although the most widely used definition in the professional literature is that in a "strongly typed" language, it is not possible for the programmer to work around the restrictions imposed by the type system. This term is almost always used to describe statically typed languages.

It's not only KYC. They would need to start putting in anti-money laundering detection reports, OFAC reporting... the list of financial reports/audit/regulations is ENORMOUS.

No way a gaming company wants to do this... in every country they operate in.

Not to mention, that gaming platforms have been used in the past to launder money, so it's not even a stretch to assume that would be happening.

I’m skeptical that making users spend a long time trying to find the right monitor would actually be good for Amazon’s revenue or that Amazon would intentionally optimize for it. If the typical user really experienced that struggle, many would probably give up without making a purchase.

To hazard a guess, I’d speculate that apparent poor quality of search results is more likely Amazon trying to push customers toward items where Amazon earns more margin. The average customer probably just buys the first/cheapest result and isn’t going to spend hours scouring the product pages. There’s a lot of complexity in Amazon’s relationships with suppliers, fee structure, and warehouses/logistics that could affect the revenue-optimizing search ranking but isn’t obvious to the user.
Unless GP's objection to chromium OS is entirely because it's chromium, I don't think Firefox OS would be any better as it's essentially the same thing, Firefox running on Linux (not on bare metal)

Without writing the entire browser from scratch, I don't personally think there's much point to this. I suspect if you traced down the library/runtime requirements for Firefox and reimplemented them in a bare metal runtime, you'd end up with something remarkably complex and not much simpler than Linux + runtime in the end.

This is assuming you want a full browser capable of everything Firefox and Chromium are, which includes things like WebGL. If you cut out components, you can definitely reach a point where a bare metal browser is sensible, the question is how much are you willing to sacrifice from "web standards" and how much work are you willing to do reimplementing a kernel, TCP/IP stack, device drivers, etc...

I think there needs to be more pressure on the EU to stop this law. Especially considering that they are already talking about expanding it to other stuff according to the linked article. Terrorism is supposed to be already on the roadmap to be next. After that? Fraud? Tax evasion? Pirated media? The databases for the latter are already there since social media are already required to block them.

I think they should just accept that they can't always intercept everything and use targeted police work to make up for it.

It also won't stop the worst offenders: Those making the actual content. Because at that point the material is not yet in any detection database as it's new. By the time the material is in those, the abuse is (sadly) already long done. So it's not a particularly effective way of preventing abuse either. It will help to stop the consumers of this stuff, but as the war on drugs has shown, that's not an effective method as it only raises the price and thus the profits for the criminals.

What would work for that would be some machine learning algorithm that evaluates any content while you're shooting it on your phone and phones the police so they can come running. And for it to be forbidden to ever have your phone offline in order to circumvent this. That would probably be effective. It would also eliminate any semblance of privacy.
It would not be pointless at all, because while one thread may lock on CPU, context switching will let another one deal with IO. This can let you smooth out the progress of each part of your program, and can be useful for workload when you don't want anything to block for too long.
This is interesting because it defines monopoly and market power in terms of prices. How does the traditional monopoly definition fit when we're talking about "free" goods (to the general consumer) like FB or Google search? Is the thought that they exert too much power over ad pricing?
This could still work with NFTs though, for example MTG has different formats of their game which have restrictions about which releases of cards are eligible for use, and some cards are banned from use in any format because they are too overpowered. Similarly, we could have games which ban NFTs which are overpowered turning them into collectibles with no in-game use. This isn't the reason NFTs aren't workable, because even if you could overcome the regulatory burdens, the bigger reason is control of IP. If other games can consume the NFTs from my game, then they can steal my player base by essentially forking the game with the promise of maintaining player inventories. Why would a publisher want this?

... if:

1) world of warcraft can incorporate the party hat asset

But... why would they do that?

Why would they not just rip the hat and put it up for sale in their own store for anybody who wants to pay them for it?

I dunno I find the idea of trust-busting pretty sexy. I remember learning about how we broke up a lot of the oil and rail conglomerates in the early 1900s as a high schooler and I thought it was so cool that government could step in and prevent really bad things that would otherwise never be prevented with unregulated capitalism. In today's climate for whatever reason the break-in-case-of-emergency glass around trust-busting seems to be unbreakable, which is sad I think. I don't get how we got here, but I bet it's a long paragraph with the words "lobbyist" and "corporate political donations" appearing numerous times.
There seems to be an opportunity for wider adoption here if governments and ports would chip in a bit more. I keep seeing news articles about ships being stuck out of port for potentially weeks at a time due to backups at the ports and supply chain issues. Why not have governments pay these container ships to wait in trashy areas and collect trash while they are waiting to unload or load their cargo? If ships know they are going to be stuck waiting at ports for 10 days, then they can simply drive their ships much more slowly so they arrive at their destination 10 days later and collect more trash.

Counter examples on both sides in WWII: A) The allied bombing campaign that failed to meet its strategic objectives for almost the whole duration of the war. B) The continued German development of strategically insignificant terror weapons (especially the V2). The bombing campaign did finally flatten German industry and transport, but not until the Germans were obviously going to lose anyway, in very late 1944 / early 1945. Its first several years had very little strategic effect but cost vast numbers of lives on both sides.
Not anymore. Because it turns out mRNA vaccination efficacy drops off after 6-9 months, which is why they're rolling out booster shots in my country.

> We shouldn't be putting decentralized games on one of the most centralized platforms in history.

That's something that I believe is currently a big issue in our society, so many things are pushed between black and white. You can definitely see the advantage of both system and use both in their own when one is better than the other. The fact that you see potential in a decentralized value transfer system and want it to evolve doesn't means that you believe every single thing need to be decentralized. I'm sure you downloaded something using P2P, yet you are still enjoying centralized file distribution everyday too.

Not only that, but Steam doesn't require any exclusivity or dependence to their platforms. That means that as a publisher, you can share it on multiple platform, which make it essentially decentralized...
