I didn't see comments about Under a killing moon or any Monkey's Island.

Those games had a different playability, puzzle-solving approach, and their plot was thicker.
Patents aren't the issue here, its not with e-ink. Its the lack of willing by the patent holders to license.
Amazon isn’t a retail company or a server company. They are a company that figured out a way to combine those two things.

A comparison that came to mind is movies before and after Star Wars. My understanding is the big innovation was recognizing the value of merchandising through t-shirts, action figures, etc. Then came video, cable, DVD and streaming, all also not part of the original “movie business”.

I have this notion Tesla is really a precursor to creating a huge “partially used large batteries” business.

China's @COP26 delegation will be headed by Climate Envoy Xie Zhenhua & Vice Minister Zhao Yingmin. The delegation, smaller than previous yrs due to COVID, will bring China's NDC and arrive in London on 26th. While there, they will conduct pre-sessional talks with key countries.

Exactly. Sure, Last of Us has the story of a generic zombie movie. But in a way, that was my twelve year old daughter I watched die. I don't think it's fair to criticize games for not having as good a story as a novel when you'd never imagine criticizing a music album for not having as good a story as a novel.
Staff members must be sensitive that perfectly proper political activity by their spouses, family or companions may nevertheless create conflicts of interest or the appearance of conflict. When such a possibility arises, the staff member should advise his or her department head and the standards editor or the deputy editorial page editor. Depending on circumstances, the staff member may have to recuse himself or herself from certain coverage or even move to a job unrelated to the activities in question. - NY Times ethics handbook, https://www.nytimes.com/editorial-standards/ethical-journali...

Search for 'appearance', and you will find many other examples where journalists have to avoid not only conflicts of interest and bias, but even the appearance of them. Because an outside observer cannot distinguish between the two.

Is there really no-one as qualified (or more) they could have chosen, that does not have such a blatant appearance of bias, if they really wanted unbiased journalism?
India's electric vehicle goal is pure politics and no one in India takes it seriously. It has zero chance of happening.
This time is different?

I don't mean to say this as a snarky and meaningless rebuttal. A large part of the book that coined this phrase indeed had the subtext that something _was_ different, each and every time. When people quote it with the assumption that the other party is a fool, they miss the point.

So I agree with all your points, just pointing out that historically, market turbulence has followed some time after structural changes like the one you're pointing out here. I don't have a better answer than anyone else -- the stock market is the best bet I can see for taking part in technological advancement and economic growth, and I don't see a good way to hedge. But I'm sure we'll get a nasty surprise at some point.
> A magnetic field that strong might also be directly harmful.

Maybe make a monkey-sized one first. ;-)
Invalidating a patent to me is an admission that the patent shouldn't have been granted in the first place. I appreciate that there is a long legal battle to get there but the patent authority then charging a fee feels like them getting money for their own failings. If anything they should be paying those people who's business was in legal limbo compensation for their error.
Finally, the US is getting its own, official Pravda, to the surprise of absolutely nobody.

Indeed, standard container runtimes neither require VT-x (virtualization instructions) or VT-d (IOMMU for PCIe devices). They're "just" process isolation (cgroups), network stack isolation (netns), and filesystem isolation (overlayfs). Workloads on Kubernetes are not using virtual hardware unless you choose a managed provider or container runtime that states they are.
There are a lot of different ways of invalidating a patent, and that is the simplest. However, that is also nominally what the examiner did during the issuance of the patent, so unless there was gross incompetence (eg the "shopping cart" patents), it's not that simple.

Text-heavy content isn't for everyone, and that is fine. The problem is that the modern Internet primarily caters to the lowest common denominator of viral mass appeal, which leaves the long tail, those who want more substance, yearning for more. That /more/ is out there, but it has massive discoverability issues.
This won't help. Firefox's latency problems seem to be deeper.

Yes. Apple gets paid billions by Google - obviously Apple is not going to hurt Google - instead they are going on a privacy crusade against companies whose business they can hurt without any financial blowback.

You can imagine it, but it doesn't track with reality. Economic growth has been synonymous with fast fashion, planned obsolescence, new cars every few years, a new phone every year, more and more meat in our diets, cheap plastic crap and so on - conspicuous consumption.

This is so, so true. I play chess, but only for fun, or as a way to pass time. I play 2+0 bullet on lichess. I am solidly 50th percentile. If I lose a material advantage, I'll very quickly resign.

There are so many things wrong with this from the perspective of "playing chess well". At my rating, it is ludicrous to resign when down a bishop, as there is too much variability, let alone the variability in bullet chess. I don't bring a fighting spirit because I don't want to expend the effort. If I did so, I'd certainly be rated higher. But I haven't attached any ego to my rating so I am free to play how I want.

And if you're in CA and want to plant milkweed, please make sure it's a native milkweed.

From https://www.latimes.com/lifestyle/story/2021-04-01/how-to-fi...:

> Which brings us to the reason why tropical milkweed is such a problem in Southern California. See, tropical milkweed works fine as caterpillar food in colder parts of the United States, when it dies back during the winter, killing any parasites that live on the plants. But in Southern California tropical milkweed stays green and blooming year round. Xerces Society researchers believe this evergreen milkweed confuses normal monarch migration and allows harmful microscopic parasites — Ophryocystis elektroscirrha, or OE — to multiply on the plants. Monarch caterpillars end up eating a lot of this nasty parasite as they devour the leaves and researchers believe OE is sickening the adults, messing up their lifespans, migration patterns and ability to reproduce.
One thing that isn't mentionned is that games makes you engage way more with the story than movies because of how they are. In most games you can explore areas to discover more things. The equivalent doesn't really exist in movies or books. You can maybe reread a chapter or a paragraph. Pause a film and look at all the details. But that's something people rarely do unless they are analyzing the thing. In games, you have a way more "a la carte" experience. I know that I and many people have a "main road" sense, in which it's easy to see what's the main road that will progress the game, and what are optional branches. That means that if you want to engage more with the world, you can easily choose to.

The main quest of Skyrim takes 30 hours, but I'm sure that most people played way more than that. Same thing with games like Far Cry, you can rush the main story, or you can take your time and do way more things. I think that makes games a media where often you don't follow a story but engage with a world. Those are two very different things. Even in linear "walking simulators", there are usually tons of optional stuff.

The equivalent would be to have a movie or book that dynamically react to you, and that doesn't really exists, at least not as well as how games do it.

On the other hand, the experience of reading a book and imagining all the visual parts, or sitting there watching a movie are also very unique, and can't be filled by other medias.

Not junon, but I agree with them. I have a chemistry degree, years of chemical safety training, years of practice as a fire artist and performer, and a huge fan of all these high energy science channels. My hobby is basically doing this same kind of "don't try at home" content, sans uploading it, and in fact the thought has crossed my mind to start a channel.

There is only so much "don't try this at home" disclaimers can do. NurdRage and NileRed probably have the best disclaimers, but even then they are no excuse for actual safety training and experience. There is too much to cram into one safety brief.

Should we censor all woodworking videos of old timers with outdated safety habits?

There comes a point of "we are all adults here" and if you are not, you are probably a dumbshit teenager doing dumbshit stuff without adults knowing. I got my start doing dumbshit dangerous chemistry without any assistance of YouTube, it was all forums for me and there were no warnings, it was just implied that what you are doing has risks and you should look into them. And yeah I had my injuries and near misses, nothing awful thankfully.

If you have any inkling of self preservation, you learn what is required for at least a modicum of safety, and you ask questions of those also in the hobby how to do things safely. The great thing about these channels is that they nucleate and create a nexus for people interested in this stuff, often on Reddit, which is like the one-forum-to-rule-them-all (though I do rather miss the phpbb ones depth)

I think what bugs me about this attitude is it basically implies sharing dangerous knowledge is unethical. Let's say we censor StyroPyro, are people going to suddenly not be tempted? No, they are just going to find other outlets for their curiosity.

Turbines have gone from 1-2MW to 10-16MW

Capacity factors have gone from 20% to 50%-60%

Annual additions gave gone from sub-GW to 70GW last year

And with turbine spacing of 1km you can actually do stuff with the land in between.

On the other hand, transmission projects still take 10-20 years, and new transmission projects are often over booked by 300%-400% before they are even started.

I do the same. I'm pretty confident with my BIMDAS, less so with which operators are left- vs. right-associative in what language (and I hop around languages a lot so this is a bit of a pain). My general rule is if I have to look it up, then chances are so will the next guy (who in my line of work may not even be a coder at all and will be properly flummoxed), and chucking in brackets is a double win because it saves us both time.

Dance music seems awful simple but if it's being played live there's a very simple quality test which is, are people dancing to the music?

If you're just on your computer in your room, making beats and perhaps not even moving to them because to you it seems trivial and all about the marketing, you might be glossing over a fundamental part of the music. Seeing what moves an actual dance floor full of real people is important feedback.

Facebook missed the boat to from Web to Mobile. It's hoping to catch the boat to next step, first it was VR (Oculus acquisition) now it's 'Metaverse'. It also missed the move to voice (Siri, Alexa, OK Google).

I wouldn't have been able to predict the proliferation of iPhone or touchscreen which started the shift to mobile back in the 2000s, but the value proposition of Mobile is clear, do everything and get enabled by apps on your phone via touchscreen interface.

I don't see the value of shifting things to somewhere else like a metaverse especially if you have to put on a headset and linking things from different 'worlds' together. I can now use my phone for email, watch TV, pay my bill and transfer money. I suppose the next step would be a holographic AI assistant following me around the world doing the same. It would have to be ubiquitous.

When I look at NFTs being able to the portable between worlds I have no idea what I'd use that for. Maybe it's unspoken but Zuck has aspirations to eventually let everyone get a brain-implant to alter conciousness to plug into the Metaverse like the Matrix and no body is talking about it because of how ludicrous it sounds today, if this is eventually made possible no doubt that Zuck wants Meta to be the company who does it (CTRL Labs).

With its crossheads, connecting rods and valve gear, a conventional steam locomotive has many external moving parts, which is part of their appeal - plus, of course, the whole thing is a moving part.

I agree that it's not significant, it can also just transfer to being privately owned. Companies go in and out of the stock exchange all the time. The point of an IPO really is that you have some kind of growth or development phase that needs funding, so it's always a kind of "negative balance" and selling a promise for the future. If a company was rock solid with constant profits and no use for additional funding, it would probably be traded below it's cash assets, because there's no use of owning such a stock.

The main point is that invested money is actually used to do things, even if you lose you have contributed to progress and development in some way, it's not like a casino where money just moves around.

> The equivalent would be to have a movie or book that dynamically react to you, and that doesn't really exists, at least not as well as how games do it.

This does exist and is called interactive fiction, FWIW. I do agree however it isn’t as clearly reactive to the consumer as a video game (you can turn on a dime in a video game, but in interactive fiction you don’t get such a granular level of control in how you interact).

I'm not sure about the western monarch, but the eastern monarchs out here in the midwest grow as caterpillars here and pupate in to a butterfly. I don't think they lay eggs down in mexico, I think they only have the butterfly form down there.

Additionally, there are three or four generations of them as they migrate. They don't migrate in one huge push. So the ones in mexico will migrate back north a bit, lay eggs, and die. Then that new generation will become adults, migrate north, and lay eggs, and die. Eventually they will reverse and start migrating south, laying eggs, and dying. Finally the last generation makes it to mexico to hang out for a while and avoid the cold, before starting it all over again!
It's pretty hard to quantify quality due to the inherent category error in attempting to do so, so the measures are pretty much always going to be blunt and inexact.

I kept trying lightweight DEs like this over and over again (XFCE, LXDE, MATE, etc.) - I wanted them to work because I'd rather not give the desktop any more CPU resources than necessary. Time and time again there were a handful of things that I realized I'd taken for granted with the more heavy desktops (Gnome, KDE, etc.) that brought me back.

In the end I realized what I wanted was something that got out of my way and let me drive with a keyboard (and yes, was full of all the features I'd expect without needing to tweak and script). I've landed with PopOS using their tiling WM system, and I haven't looked back.
