Starcraft is the exception rather than the rule. If you take a random sample of 20 year old games I'd wager that in the vast majority of samples none of them will have received updates in the last 15 years.
The stock price matters because it affects SpaceX ability to raise capital, and going to Mars takes a lot of capital. His share of the stock matters so he can retain control, so that he can make sure SpaceX remains focused on going to Mars, as against anything else. If it was just about making money for himself he'd float the company.
> That's true, but the same argument can be made about anything, so it's not a useful statement.

That is precisely what makes it useful. We often overlook the obvious, and discount it. The system is what provides the foundation of success, therefore it should be maintained, hence taxation.

I am not suggesting that the government is going to do a good job of allocating funds to maintain and grow the health of the system... I am merely suggesting that all participants are OBLIGED to "give back" to the system that makes their prosperity possible; and the more you get, the more you should give.

People also, not just corporations.
They have been following this model for years, CK 1-3, EU 1-4, Victoria 1-2, Stellaris. So it seems to be pretty sustainable?
> The only really correct answer to the root problem here is for developers to stop using Google Play as a distribution channel.

But Google has deliberately made it essentially impossible to do this.

1. The user needs to discover that other app ecosystems even exist.
2. They will then need to jailbreak their phone.
3. This voids their warranty.

That eliminates 99+% of your customer base off the top.

And of course Google could and likely would refuse advertisements for these alternative app ecosystems.
Not for Stellaris, but considering that their games are pretty much about emergent stories, I wouldn’t even complain about it. For MP only the host needs to have the DLCs.
You just do it. They invoice you in whatever currency suits you both, you pay them. PayPal is, unfortunately, likely to be the easiest way, unless you're willing to hack direct bank transfers or cryptocurrencies. The contractor's taxes are their problem (and thus their decision whether to operate as a company) not yours.

IMHO an intermediate platform is just going to eat into the money without adding value, unless you're using it to find the worker(s) you need. It all boils down to trust: do you trust them to do the work and report progress/time accurately? do they trust you to pay timeously? That's the one point where an intermediary might play a role, but, frankly, if trust is lacking, you don't want to be working together anyway.

DM me if you're looking for very part-time writing/dev work. I'm in ZA, so close-enough timezone to BE.
True for you, me, and most of others here on HN. Unfortunately, almost everyone else is an entirely different story. I know friends, who are well-to-do (even some CTOs of pretty big enterprises), have passwords/CARD-Pins in their iPhone Notes. I have seen a large number of friends and relatives uses Gmail (not their own domain) to store their passwords -- they keep updating a draft that contains all of their lives secrets, passwords, bank details, and what not.

It is a different world out there.
1) Doesn't an LED have only a single band gap, determined by its main materials, thus no "side bands"?

2) Even if other wavelengths are produced, they just need to be produced in lesser quantities than in say sunlight.

Missed still! On large screens I prefer a permanent status bar with useful info persisting, than a URL flashing over the page. Chrome did it first, then Firefox copied like a mirror. The status bar was oddly banished to UI hell, not even a config switch lifeline. Replaced with google's flickering lower left overlay.

I'm kind of surprised there was no code caching. I compiled the linux kernel on an X200 in the last year or two and essentially there was a wait of 1 - 3 hours for a minor change. 3 hours if you build from scratch, 1 hour if you do a minor change and rebuild. It was excruciating and the machine ran hot, but I'd be surprised that it took 8 hours for a rebuild, after building the first time, unless you are literally destroying all of the build artifacts and rebuilding from scratch, every single time.
> In fact, a lot of Marx's work is an extension of Smith's own ideas and the use of Smith's own language and phrases.

Yes, Marx took the bad parts out of Smith and Ricardo and made a weird theory based on his reification of labor and value.

> We see a lot of Marx's basic ideals parroted by people without people realizing it. My favorite is Tucker Carlson listeners who spit on Marx. The idea of an elite with money/resource control controlling politics is literally straight out of Marx's writings and is a talking point Tucker Carlson likes to use.

Does Marx have a monopoly on this idea? It is a very trivial thing to believe, you don’t need Marx for that.
The thing that always gets missed is that low tech causes harm too. Mandatory technology usually eliminates an older technology or analog practice, that was often rather harmful.

3G (UMTS) was reuse 1, not reuse 7 !

This is not the only mistake from this website you mention : e.g. in the page "difference-between-gsm-and-cdma" I read "GSM Data speed rate: 42Mbps in HSPA" (but HSPA is 3G and an evolution of UMTS and is using WCDMA, compared to GSM which is 2G and is using TDMA). I guess when they mention "CDMA" or "3G" (which is are generic terms that also apply to UMTS) they mean "CDMA from 3GPP2", which is not used in Europe. I didn't read everything but from the little I have seen I don't find this website very reliable...

It is very painful.

Serverless Stack framework is not bread and butter as they describe it, it often locks up and CPU going to 100% on my machine, misses debug breakpoints, breaks with weird error messages pointing to compiled JS code that are hard to trace back to TypeScript, etc, etc. And you are right, you are locked in, there is too much magic, you are dependent on internet connection.

In case you need some context on this project, from: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fuchsia_(operating_system)

Fuchsia is an open-source capability-based operating system developed by Google. In contrast to prior Google-developed operating systems such as Chrome OS and Android, which are based on the Linux kernel, Fuchsia is based on a new kernel named Zircon. It first became known to the public when the project appeared on a self-hosted git repository in August 2016 without any official announcement. After years of development, Fuchsia was officially released to the public on the first-generation Google Nest Hub, replacing its original Cast OS.

Half my family is Chinese. Expansion of the capitalist sector of the economy has transformed that society and raised hundreds of millions out of grinding poverty and into the middle class, including my wife's family and relatives.

Why did this not happen in India, a country which had many advantages over China starting from 30 years ago? It's because the Indian commercial economy is strangled by socialist inspired bureaucracy and anti-competitive special interests. For all the China claims to be communist, it's commercial sector is cut throat capitalism of a particularly raw form. Much rawer that I would like, Chinese people suffer from some of it's excesses, but nevertheless it's produced an incredibly powerful and dynamic economy.

Definitely his report of his own behavior leading up to it is enough to make you wonder what you'd do if it were your child.

A lot of times when I'm out in the world and watch people acting out, or just behaving like they were raised in a barn, the coldest part of myself thinks their parents should have disciplined them. The warmest, fuzziest and most liberal part of myself thinks that their behavior is mostly due to abuse they suffered that was probably meant as discipline, which failed to impart its rationale and which their parents didn't know how to do any better since they were probably abused themselves, and their grandparents and so on.

So since you made me think about this, if the kids are fucked up little sociopaths already because of their families - which are incapable of valuing them and giving them that loving attention - short of taking them away from their families to some kind of utopia, what's the answer? We really can't effect a chain of kindness in those families just be being patient strangers. The only thing we might be able to do is sanction the parents and take away the institutions they rely on to perpetuate abuse. It's also possible we're just a few reasonably friendly people sitting on top of a volcano of hundreds of millions of psychotic assholes.
I mean, sure, I guess you can do that. But a basic Makefile does this too. So does every other build system on earth.
> You can't independently verify that a religion is valid.

The same thing is practically true for almost everything we believe. For the most part, we blindly trust the evidence of our senses and "authority", whether that be the "experts" or the social consensus or something else.

And even for the things we can demonstrate, it ultimately relies on the assumption of unprovable axioms.

> I don't understand why a god would care what a human does, in any case, especially in the case of an all-knowing god who would already know every detail of what the human will do before they are even born, or an all-powerful god, who wouldn't be emotionally hurt by the choices a human makes.

I don't see why the qualities and motives an all-knowing, all-powerful creator of the universe would be fully understandable by limited human reason. I see this kind of argument a lot, but I don't get it - the same thing is ultimately true even of natural things, Nietzsche has a great passage on this.

> It is no different with the faith with which so many materialistic natural scientists rest content nowadays, the faith in a world that is supposed to have its equivalent and its measure in human thought and human valuations-a "world of truth" that can be mastered completely and forever with the aid of our square little reason. What? Do we really want to permit existence to be degraded for us like this-reduced to a mere exercise for a calculator and an indoor diversion for mathematicians? Above all, one should not wish to divest existence of its rich
ambiguity: that is a dictate of good taste, gentlemen. the taste of reverence for everything that lies beyond your horizon. That the only justifiable interpretation of the world should be one in which you are justified because one can continue .to work and do research scientifically in your sense (you really mean.mechanistically?)-an interpretation that permits counting, calculating, weighing, seeing, and touching. and nothing more that is a crudity and naivete, assu~ing that it is not a mental illness, an idiocy. Would it not be rather probable that, conversely, precisely the most superficial and external aspect of existence-what is most apparent, its skin and sensualization-would be grasped first-and might even be the only thing that allowed itself to be grasped? A .. scientific, interpretation of the world, as you understand it, might therefore still be one of the most stupid
of all possible interpretations of the world, meaning that it would be one of the poorest in meaning. This thought is
intended for the ears and consciences of our mechanists who nowadays like to pass as philosophers and insist that mechanics is the doctrine of the first and last laws on which all existence must be based as on a ground floor. But an essentially mechanical world would be an essentially meaningless world. Assuming that one estimated the value of a piece of music according to how much of it could be counted, calculated, and expressed in formulas: how absurd would such a •'scientific" estimationof music be! What would one have comprehended, understood,grasped of it? Nothing, really nothing of what is "music" in it!

Similarly Warcraft 3 had a 5 year gap between 1.26b in 2011 and 1.27a in 2016, which was probably about when they started development for Reforged, announced in 2018.

I don't really think driver robustness is an issue here. The number of phones I've seen, used or heard about with driver problems is zero.

Add in the fact that phones are almost never rebooted (compared to desktops/laptops and other computers), and the driver situation looks incredibly stable.
