So if a billionaire wanted to make a difference, they can buy enough of these to make a difference?
Hence the "almost"
The thing is, these "fans" are not their target demographic, so they really don't care.

Nintendo tends to focus on people that play their games for fun, and less on people that turn it into a serious hobby or try to build it into their personal identity.
You have been caught lying, arguing, and moving the goal posts. Being accused of being a shill is a natural progression.

You have done nothing to clear up misinformation, argue in good faith, or concede a disproven claim. All these are required for arguments in good faith.
That's a really good point. In fact I did buy the Switch to play both BotW and SMO. I keep forgetting that Nintendo first party titles are so dominant in sales vs. other large franchises. I keep thinking they're just large on the one platform.
I think behind the times == dysfunctional otherwise there would never be a reason to innovate in the first place.
Is it really disgusting? Google stock rose 65% in 2021. Unless you are working at the cafeteria, the recent inflation had little impact on the compensation of Google employees.
Nintendo also has a culture of sharing institutional knowledge regarding game design. Shigeru Miyamoto is not very involved in the day to day of Mario and Zelda development anymore. Other designers and producers who have worked with and learned from him have taken the reins of those franchises and taken them to new heights.

Contrast that with, say, Sega, who never found their footing with the Sonic franchise ever since the late 90s. Sonic games were developed by whatever developers happened to be available -- sometimes American or mixed Japanese-American teams; and the design ideas from the first few games that made them so great were lost once new hardware generations came along that couldn't use the original engine code. Sonic went a whole console generation (fifth generation, Saturn era) without a new full game in the main series, and the games featuring him after that have been a real mixed bag. (No, Adventure 2 is a mess. The controls are some of the most slippery imprecise shit in the 6th generation.)
I'd be ok with it if a federal judge ordered it on a particual person, but companies sharing lists feels open to abuse.
This is why I use the term "enthralled"
> Why does demand always have to be met in one smallish (geographically speaking) city?

The demand is created by that community, located in that area - it is endogenous. These communities of people create self-reenforcing network effects. Logically it follows that the supply should be created where the demand is, not just because, well, that's where the demand is - but because it re-enforces this flywheel.

Why would you put the supply somewhere the demand isn't?
They do, they're advocating for a shared list

Surely one factor in this is America being significantly less densely populated than Europe? One operator that's got some popularity in my part of the middle of the country is UScellular, which fills in gaps serviced by none of the bigger companies.
Sorry, I just saw your comment. I just replied above.
The goal posts have moved pretty significantly in this thread from "access to information and the internet" to "government domestic disinfo programs".
> Edit: and no, in most places a tourist visa means you are not allowed to do work (for anyone) in that country.

Then this would mean if you received and answered a work text message while a tourist in another country, you would be violating what, exactly? Can you cite something specific, in any country, and the corresponding penalty? And also anyone, ever, having faced repercussions for this?
Someone on the internet once said, "to fake generics for C, you have to rely on one of: massive code duplication, void pointers, or preprocessor abuse."

Looks like this library is relying on preprocessor abuse.
Because it's interesting, independently verifiable news about a frequent HN topic (jab safety/effectiveness), which most readers here likely will not come across otherwise due to the slim chance CNN, Wash Post, NYT, etc will cover it.
Not the person you're responding to, but a recent example that caused outrage was Nintendo sending C&Ds to online Melee tournament organizers during the pandemic (using emulators with mods). I'm sure there's some way in which Nintendo is within their legal right to do this though, even if I think this behavior is a plague to art and technology.
How are other companies setup that make them distinct from Amazon?
They do. And so does United, SWA, AA, etc.

The thought process is that an unruly passenger on United, for example, should be banned from all airlines and air lines so they can’t go cause trouble elsewhere.

I think the airlines are asking the government to step in because they’re not sure they can legally work together to ban people from all air travel. I believe a government process is the correct answer here but only with due process and guard rails.
I feel like TeamBlind is the exact opposite of LinkedIn -- no positivity, no one cares about mission or whatever, the #1 thing is TC and WLB, and everyone is anonymous. And yet its posts are much more honest, candid and just overall useful than those of LinkedIn.
I don't get how some people can be so jaded. Like really?
They are getting to be so terrible, what kind of bureaucracy motivates them to throw away their crown jewel? Is Adwords the only self-made product they have that actually works anymore? Maybe their business model is only Adwords and selling surveillance data, and our understanding simply hasn't caught up to that fact yet.
Windows will use a percentage of available ram. And if you have more than 4GB it will start to unbundle services (each service will get it's own svchost).
Many places let you choose your energy provider. People choose the cheapest ones.

So yes, they're at fault. It's like crying about slaves making chocolate but paying for the cheapest chocolate bar instead of opting for more expensive ones that verify their supply chain. Talk is cheap.
Thanks. I thought the game was ego satisfaction.
Did it have a dock and come with removable controllers like it was always intended to be used with a big screen? Nope, it did not.

It’s not ‘just a marketing thing’ when a product is designed in a completely different way, with different goals.
This is a fork. How is it different from the source repo?
The last one had substance but it was too little too late. Don't attack someone for trying to help but being unable to do so quickly enough.

A cool thing about the US no-fly list is that - at least as of eight years ago[0] - there's no way to tell if you're on it (short of attempting to fly and being denied, and even then they generally won't tell you the real reason). There's also no real way to get off the no-fly list: IIRC, as of about eight years ago, only one person had actually managed to do so[0], and it involved a very protracted federal lawsuit that involved them having to first prove that they were even on the list in the first place in order to demonstrate standing.

Furthermore, because of the geography of the US and the lack of alternate options, being put on the no-fly list can effectively leave you stranded in foreign countries (there aren't really passenger boats anymore, for the most part) or de facto stranded even within parts of the US if you're unable to drive for long distances (which many people can't do).

I used XMonad with work-issued Linux desktop for a few years in the office at $day_job.

Most apps worked well with it, but some applications (Spotify, especially) have constraints on window size that cause it to overlap outside its tiled location. Worked around it by e.g. making it a floating window on top of the tiles.

Main reason I switched off was that it was unsupported by IT -- I found I would lose work time trying to update my setup with whatever new thing they had inherited from upstream Ubuntu LTS (network manager applet, or moving remote desktop to a separate X server, or systemd, or a new login manager). If we weren't WFH I would probably revisit it now that we're on Debian

Also the config is Haskell -- as someone who learned Scheme in University but didn't know any Haskell I got by copying and pasting snippets from around, but it was a lot of trial and error. Learning Haskell would make it a lot easier to code the environment to avoid needing to manually manipulate windows, similar to how emacs folks have all sorts of custom setups inside emacs.
Unisys has been very supportive of our efforts to find and preserve early Burroughs software and generously provided corporate time to arrange licensing and provide copies of anything they still had.
Burroughs B5000 series now has a rich library of software and several emulator implementations (web-browser, simh and standalone). However the B6000/7000 family software recovery is sparse with critical pieces still missing, we are unable to bootstrap a working MCP as yet.
All device firmware updated? I haven’t noticed any controller latency. Maybe display lag?

They said they disable that content or that user, in relation to that partner, so it seems like if they get told by apple that your nft violate ios guidelines, you may find your nfts stop showing up on the ios app when searching.

I don't see how they have any other choice, and only having the walled garden effect the walled garden is more than a lot of other platforms are willing to do.
This article is worth reading. "Banjo pizza" (!) and a reminder of the phrase for Edwardian prosperity between the [first] two World Wars.

Wow. The hero image of this post is an interior shot of a Shakey's Pizza in Seattle.

It seemed rather spare, versus my zany childhood memories of packed-with-flair emporiums and 1970s birthday parties... My wife said, "Oh, you're thinking of Farrell's Ice Cream."

Indeed. Also featured straw-hat jazz bands.

I remember a couple of other fast food franchises that capitalized on a brand of Gilded Age nostalgia, "Wendy's" and "Steak and Shake".

Mid 1970s in the United States seemed to burst with this sort of hearty cheer, in the face of economic disruption and virulent reaction to social reform and unrest. Forget the casualties of a conscript army fighting in Southeast Asia! Here's a hat and a root beer float!

As a kid back then, it was easy to get the impression that our Bicentennial Benjamin Franklin and KISS frontman Peter Chris played banjo together, wearing straw hats.

I think point #1 is wrong. According to the International Convention on Salvage, the salvor has a right to a reward. See https://www.jus.uio.no/lm/imo.salvage.convention.1989 Negotiations, arbitration, and legal disputes likely have to do with establishing the amount of the award; that and all the other potential ancillary issues, like time bars, establishing rightful owner (e.g. not abandoned), subrogation rights, etc.

It's easy to judge but AFAIK if they prioritize order it's possible more searches come up with bad results than good. That doesn't mean they shouldn't try to do better but we, or a least I, really have no idea which is better, on average, order dependent or order independent.
Yep that is exactly the situation. The inter-satellite laser link satellites don't have enough in orbit yet to provide anything better than intermittent (a couple times a day) connectivity.

Fiji is nearby so can act as a ground station for the satellites as it has internet.

Not much for head terms and even at the longtail, today. I've long thought rolling out googs algo from 2010 and getting away from all the prediction/neural network rewriting would be a good move for a new search engine.
But they did not make a inflation adjusted increase to each employee, so you're just dodging the point.

Knowing Nintendo it will be at least a year, maybe longer, before a theoretical Switch 2.

The original is still selling great. And they wouldn’t want people who bought the OLED to feel ripped off.

Many of Deming's findings and ideas now seem so obvious that it's hard to believe their origins are so recent. I'd bet that much of what you think about management and organizations comes from Deming.

This was serious cool to see
Molise has a population of 300k. The smallest state in the US is Wyoming at almost twice the size (580k).

That also doesn't address the parent's observation that US states view themselves as having very distinct identities.

A better example from Italy might be Naples, which has a population big enough to be a US state and which does have a very distinct identity. And I wouldn't be surprised at all to hear someone introduce themselves as from Naples.
Haven’t companies been doing this for literally centuries?

It sucks, but it seems that it is what it is. Fortunately people can vote with their feet and googlers in particular are likely to be able to get a pay increase by switching jobs.

Short of a straight up profit share it doesn’t seem like there’s a reliable way to guarantee pay increases - stock is a decent hedge but then you can have 80% drops in a year like Peloton.
Report a safety issue against airline a. Airline a then will add you to a cross airline no fly list.

Yeah, let’s not go down this path.
1. Were you on the no fly list and did you manage to get off?

2. Asking us to ask you is some clickbaity bullshit. You know you're leading the question, just put your thoughts down instead of practically asking us to ask you.
Okay, I'll bite; how do you know?

Flight attendants and gate agents well on their way to being the most powerful petty dictators in America. Put that seat back forward, turn your cellphone off, and don't you dare hit that service button. Don't use the bathroom during takeoff and landing, shit your seat instead. Stuff your suit into your carry-on, I don't care if it gets wrinkled and if you were going to hang it as soon as you get on the plane. Give me any lip service, and you'll never fly again. Who are they gonna believe? I'm a 20-year-tenure unionized flight attendant whose lobbyists get a red carpet at the FAA. You're a nobody with a coach class plane ticket.

> Nintendo has finally sued too many smart people, and shut down too many fan projects. I can no longer support their bad behaviour so I can't support the Switch. I know they've been bad actors in that space for a long time but I guess I've just gotten old enough to see past my nostalgia.

For reference, Nintendo stalked Neimod and compiled a dossier on him[1][2], tried to get him to incriminate himself online[2], and then dangled a job opportunity in front of him in exchange for information about his 3DS exploits[3].

From here[4]:

> Nintendo had run background checks on the hacker, knew where he lived, where he worked, and where he graduated from. To make the story even more creepy, the gaming company was allegedly spying on the man, knew everything about his typical day, his usual activities, friendships, times he left his residence, restaurants he liked to visit, and more.

Right, cartel-like denial of service behavior raises real issues. Suppose all payment systems, or Facebook, Tiktok, and Substack together decided on deplatforming alliances?
FWIW the government announced they are trying to ween Japan off the hanko. It became abundantly clear during lockdown, that requiring people to go to various government agencies to get official stamped documents to do work, sign contracts, etc, and to have to pass documents around that require hanko is something that has to be changed if Japan wants to head into the future.

I was with you up until that point. Burning books in this fashion is never good. Especially not as a publicity stunt. If liberals were getting press for holding a book burning of conservative authors, I'd be against that too. It's more the symbology behind the act, than the actual burning itself.
> Otherwise, most of these questions become trivial when consciousness is considered as a physical, biological process bound to the brain.

They're also fairly trivial if you imagine God created and controls everything and that's just the way it is.

> What happens when you die or someone is born? Nothing. No afterlife, to karma, no reincarnation, no bardo, nothing.

It's certainly plausible. But is it true?

> And finally, are those questions even answerable?

> Yes, I believe they are, but many people are uncomfortable with the ramifications of the answer as best supported by available evidence - we are purely physical beings existing within a purely physical universe. Despite all of the evidence from biology, neurology, chemistry, physics, etc. failing to show any credible evidence of a supernatural or non-biological component of consciousness apart from the brain, many people keep hoping someone will discover the soul someday and be free of the prison of material reality.

Similarly, many people are uncomfortable with acknowledging that what is actually true about these matters. There seem to be certain ideas that make all people fundamentally nervous, and the question of consciousness seems to be one of the most powerful ones.

Are you playing on the Switch's screen or a TV? Input lag on some TVs can be bad and they usually have a game mode to minimize this. I primarily use a pro controller and couldn't time certain wall jumps on Mario 64 until I put my TV into game mode. It was maddening for a while.
