Yikes, this is so much worse than merely weird, though it definitely is that.

Here's the transcript from a couple, both of which are played over top of those "5-minute craft" style (faked) baking videos:

> > Someone knocked on the front door. I opened it and saw a strange tiny man standing there with a creepy smile on his face and he smells really good.

> > He said "Hi I'm Noah I'm looking for your dad, is he home?"

> > I replied "No he's out there looking for a stupid job."

> > I was about to close the door in his face when he suddenly pushed it back open. I screamed, I thought he was going to hurt me. He took off his glasses and told me to stay calm. He looked a lot less intimidating without his glasses on and his face was softer.

> > I said "okay, come on in"

Or:

> > After one of my live youtube videos one of my viewers sent a message asking if we could meet. It was a bit strange for someone to be so insistent, especially after what my brother was doing so I ignored him at first. Then, a few days later, he messaged me again. He said he knew how to deal with my brother. He believed me. I agreed to meet him but I was nervous. What if it's just a stupid prank, I wondered. I went to the coffee shop he had asked me to go to. I didn't even know his name.

> And in that story he turns out to be a handsome knight in shining armor who rescues her from all her troubled home life problems.

Anything coming out of a boomer’s mouth about work ethic is hilarious

Just enjoy being the most privileged and worthless generation this country has ever had. There’s a reason the new generations resent you
It is what it is but it's so awful it's actually illegal to make contractors work as employees in most of the world. I'd wager it's got to be illegal in at least some American states.
IPTV is a hoot to explore: Emirati horse racing? Got it. 24/7 Bob Ross? Yep. Seemingly endless podcasts about bass fishing and bird shooting? Right over there. Ecuadorian soccer league? ¡Si!

Some universities have excellent channels that stream lectures, demonstrations, performances, and all kinds of other content.
You can still be a libertarian, you just have to give up on property rights.
how do you feel about nim?
Some of the attitude expressed in this comment section show just how out of touch a lot of you are. These contractors are not contractors by choice. They are not even contractors in the sense you probably think like sending an invoice to Nintendo and having it paid. They work for shitty companies like Aerotek that provide very little benefits AND they can only work 10 out of the 12 months of the year due to laws trying to prevent exactly what Nintendo is doing which is using contractors as discount full time employees. The tax payer is subsidizing Nintendo because these people end up on unemployment for two months every year.
The eye rolling part is trying to tie a preference for working from home into the broader civil rights movements. You aren't just making people come into the office, you are systemically oppressing this list of marginalized people groups!
I was generally not interested in my town parade/party day, but we had cow-chip bingo where I'm from in Iowa. So I don't know the "strategy" but it exists.
I believe anyone who has played FPSs online would agree it doesn't take long to find an individual that fits this profile.

That's one reason I definitely prefer SMS auth to any other method at the moment.

> "Why are we being hosed at all"

I really think I don't fully understand you here. If "It's absurd we are not being hosed equally" comes from "It's absurd some people are rich enough to ", then, "Why are we being hosed at all" means, "Why do we pay taxes at all?" Are you implying the government could just keep minting debt without any tax base?
There is a benefit of re-listening to certain audiobooks, lectures or podcasts. If there was a sophisticated way to just have content on-repeat, that would be cool. New content all the time is over-consumption, while repeating could be used for learning.

Also if walking alone, people should try calling friends and family. It's a great way to reconnect and stay connected with friends. Handsfree, heads up, it's good fun. I also feel much more chatty when on a walk.

Anyway, walking commutes are the best.
Which country do you live in where morality is so homogenized?
Does anyone else think closed AI is turning into it's most weirdest forms and becoming a trend?

Yes, however, even if you're not talking shop, you might build relationships at lunch time that pay off later.

We're a social species. Building relationships is something we do. Is it work? Yes. But it's also something we need to do.

The insuree feels like a gambler to the insurer/house, but they never get the money. Their goal is the exact opposite of gambling, to pay a fixed fee to remove variance.
A contractor is not an employee.
That's actually invalid syntax. '::' can't be used infix in a type declaration. And type application is in reverse. So it's not list 'a but 'a list.
> To my mind, letting Abrams double-down on swerving back to his plot in episode 9 was their biggest management sin when it comes to creating a coherent plot arc.

Abrams was an Executive Producer on Ep 8 still and was supposedly in the room for all of the plot development. He personally could have avoided most of that swerve had he been paying attention. Admittedly, he thought at the time it was Trevorrow's problem because Disney didn't fire Trevorrow from Ep 9 until the "last minute", but there's a lot of interesting questions left about what Abrams even thought the "resolution" could possibly be even with Trevorrow at the helm. He was still an Executive Producer in a role that should have been preparing for the trilogy as a whole to succeed.

It takes a village to make a movie and all that, and I'm not personally blaming Abrams, though it sounds like it, I think Disney management should have been more involved too. The whole Trevorrow thing reeks of Disney management failure and bad contract planning. (Between that and the shenanigans with Lord/Miller over Solo…)

I think Abrams made the best movie for Ep 9 that he could have given the time, budget, and resources he had to meet a "set in stone" holiday release date. I think he did the best he could with what Johnson left him, and honestly I don't think anyone could have resolved Johnson's plot twists well and still have felt like Star Wars. He had good ideas in absentia, but they weren't "Star Wars".

(Admittedly, I thought Ep 8 was the entire wrong genre for Star Wars: it was a Vietnam War movie in a franchise built around World War 2 metaphors/aesthetics. I also had a big issue with the "Three Billboards problem" of Poe in Ep 8. In my eyes he's unreedemably the villain of the film, and the character is entirely broken beyond repair in Ep 8. But also, admittedly, I haven't liked any of Rian Johnson's films that I've watched [inc. Knives Out; and I especially hated Looper].)
I think "trivial" is generous. For context, the current market rates for a SIM swap ranges from several thousand USD (T-Mobile) to well over fifty thousand USD (Verizon). It is not really something most people should lose sleep over, in my opinion.
Sent a link (yt, less than a couple of minutes long) to two friends (in different, and not my, countries).
Both blocked.
One friend changed location via vpn and watched the video. The other, no vpn, didn't see the video AND said they wouldn't ever use a vpn as they have 'nothing to hide'.
What am I supposed to do with this lesson?
in thrall to this version of honor

One could say honor/status is a proxy for the the amount of force you can deploy if attacked. Conflict anthropologists note that in highly stratified societies there are strict rules on the distribution and use of military technology. Japanese samurai could challenge each others' swordsmanship and engage in fatal duels, and even chastise any peasants that failed to acknowledge his class. But a samurai that went about killing peasants for fun would be quickly branded a criminal, like a cancer on the social body.
Some fitness tracker apps and websites such as Garmin Connect have monthly challenges for walking steps or distance. They allow you to challenge your friends and track progress.
Good infrastructure, clean streets, adequate public transit, no crime.
Well connected globally.
The same logic applies to literally any meeting for any purpose.

A meeting should only ever be between two or three people. Any more and it's just a waste of time.
Only the American economy depends on the constant consumption, and we can clearly see how that ended: with riots and looting in the streets, a true beacon, pinnacle of success.

Other economies are much more content to pay for reuse and repair.

No actually. In my first year working, I felt like I was getting addicted to coffee, and I noticed a 22 year old who had a long commute who seemed to subsist on coffee in the morning, cigarettes in the afternoon, and beer at night.

He seemed ineffective and unable to concentrate, as if he was permanently sleep deprived, and the less he did at work, the longer he stayed working, and the less sleep he got, the more stimulants he took. Eventually he wound up getting nothing done while spinning his wheels, and got fired. I think he moved closer to his next job and did fine there, but I took the lesson and decided to short-circuit those tendencies by giving up caffeine, sugar, and alcohol for a month each year.
No, 3:2. It's the best ratio for all sorts of scenarios - infinitely better thsn 16:9 and significantly better than 16:10. The Microsoft Surface devices and the Google Pixelbook also feature 3:2 screens.
Well, management types are probably not going to collectively vote against something that could jeopardize their jobs, even if it would be beneficial for the corp. So we're waiting for higher management (C-level) and startups to take the risk and show it can be done differently and more efficiently.

Meanwhile, most developers are not uncomfortable enough they are willing to unionize and stir the pot over this. There's a disturbing lack of empirical evidence over all this, some even pointing towards how destructive these trends are. Yet, if the people themselves are unwilling to combine their collective weight and push back, nothing's going to happen.

I think the best way to put it is "most people don't care or flat-out dislike it, but it is too much effort to push back given the perceived success rate". Some adjacent comments already hint to it: stirring the pot is a great way to get yourself on the no-no list and have to start looking for a new job.
You have me mixed up with a different poster I suppose. I don't hate any position on the subject. I'm not religious and I'm not for a complete ban on abortions. I simply pointed out that your original claim that a "super majority of people" support no regulations on abortion, falls apart when you ask if they support elective abortions at 39 weeks. Almost nobody supports that, which means by definition, most people support some regulations on abortions.

So then logically that leaves us needing to draw the line somewhere with regulations. Just because a particular doctor[1] might be more than happy to perform something most people see as grotesque, doesn't mean society should just allow it.

By the outcome. If it made money, it was a trading strategy.
The idea is that you search for negative correlations and then you look into the two asset, if there is some relationship. For example if the price of oil goes down the stock price of Ford should go up.

The correlation is only a first indicator.
It's just cargo culting. They're emulating Apple's aesthetic because that's what "everyone wants".

I guess the difference is not in the transaction itself.
The key part is that insurance counteracts a risk on your part: If it lowers the variance of your final balance, it's insurance. If it raises the variance, it's gambling.
> JS appeared in Dec 95 and the first ECMA spec came in June 97, so that's a pretty narrow window.

In theory yes, in practice not really. IE4 was the first version of JScript to be based on ECMA and that was released at the end of 1997. But in that era people didn't update regularly. Sure some folk (myself included) installed IE4 on top of Windows 95 SE[1]. But a lot of people wouldn't have had access to IE4 until they bought a new PC with Windows 98 pre-installed. So there was a good few years in practice.

Also worth noting that the web changed so much between 95 and 98. It might have only been three years in real terms but it felt like a lifetime in terms of technical revolutions.

[1] If I recall correctly, I had IE4 because it came on a .Net Magazine cover CD (not to be confused with Microsoft .NET: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Net_(magazine) )
No.

Underlying problem is that Nintendo has a non-viable business model combined with a culture that tolerates things like rigid work hours and low pay. They can't make life better for employees because their business model sucks.

The correct thing is to simply not work for them.
ahh the notch sensitive cohort.. i never understood the massive focus on removing the notch on smartphones.. it's of trivial significance to millions of ppl I would assume

On an unrelated note, this is the one detail that always bothered me about the Long Walk. It doesn't seem plausible. 2 mph I could believe.
I don't think WoW did anything particularly new, what it did was completely suck the air out of the room with its runaway success (which also ended up turning a lot of its competition into ghost towns).

Before WoW, there were a lot of different multiplayer games. After WoW, there was almost only WoW and WoW-clones (often down to mimicking the art style).
Listing privileges like that is a progressive millennial/zoomer thing that gets people's hackles up, but in its defense:

I'm physically disabled. I use a wheelchair, which makes commuting hard, and a reclining desk which is too big to fit in an open office. I can't type much, so I sometimes rely on dictation and eye tracking. I definitely can't do that in an open office. I have a bunch of doctor's appointments, weekly PT etc. and sometimes I'm too fatigued to work, so I have to crash, so I end up with weird schedules.

despite this, I've invented several critical algorithms for extremely hard problems that helped our company scale, along with singlehandedly writing tons of formally-verified distributed systems infrastructure. I'm valuable enough to keep around despite being damaged goods. hence I have permanent WFH. still miss the office sometimes though.

> The unfortunate thing is the pirated versions often have better translations and translation notes vs the official release.

Depends on the team doing it, really. I've seen some fan translations before that are so obsessed with delusions of purity or faithfulness to the source that it beckons the question why they even bothered rendering it into English if it's going to be not so much translated as transliterated. We're talking guys who will unironically refer to the manga as "Boku no Hīrō Akademia" instead of "My Hero Academia"...even though the translated English title is literally in the logo:

It's not in the public interest to block TPB. The DA would be suing for the sake of private interests, against the public, and at the public's expense.

By this logic not buying a stock has infinite loss potential. The stock you didn't buy today might be worth anything tomorrow.
Yup, I worked on a device that got a reddot award, and this is exactly how it works. IMHO it's a red flag (pun intended). I wouldn't be surprised if iF was exactly the same.
It just wastes your time when you signed up at your bank, at your brokerage firm. You may have forgot that at one point you did a tedious process. But maybe all your banking was created recently and you have a nice streamlined online signup process that worked perfectly for you, more on that later.

It will waste your time when you want to do anything like borrow especially for a mortgage, or anything slightly more complex when you get some bright idea like trying to transfer the stock shares directly instead of selling them first. It will waste your time when want to invest in other things like a private equity fund or directly into someone else's company. It will waste your time if you try to create more advanced retirement accounts and then invest with those.

It will definitely waste your time when the fintech middleware company that made signing up to a bank easier with some super streamlined online identity verification software doesn't recognize you.

> We need to rid this idea that the tool is the problem.

Do you have any scientific evidence (preferrably peer-reviewed) that the tool is not the problem? If not, it would seem to me to be a reasonable thing to study.

> Look at the experiment they are doing. The room is so boring and controlled.

If I am reading the paper correctly, the rooms being used by remote and in-person participants were identical. While they may be boring, the point was to control for the effect of the room, not to study it. It sounds like you are wishing for a different study.
I was truly dismayed and shaken by the events of ~1 year ago and the bizarre manner in which they conducted themselves. I honestly looked into migrating off of both HEY and Basecamp for my business. In the end, I held my nose and stuck with both. Why? Because in their specific markets with their specific feature sets, nothing compares. So while I continue to have a major bone to pick with the leadership of 37signals, I must admit they know how to create worthy products.
So interesting thing, that's a quote attributed to Alexander Fraser Tytler, Lord Woodhouselee by an op-ed piece by Elmer T. Peterson in the 9 December 1951 The Daily Oklahoman[1].

What he really did say is a bit more complicated:

> "The people flatter themselves that they have the sovereign power. These are, in fact, words without meaning. It is true they elected governors; but how are these elections brought about? In every instance of election by the mass of a people—through the influence of those governors themselves, and by means the most opposite to a free and disinterested choice, by the basest corruption and bribery. But those governors once selected, where is the boasted freedom of the people? They must submit to their rule and control, with the same abandonment of their natural liberty, the freedom of their will, and the command of their actions, as if they were under the rule of a monarch"

The irony is modern democracy with free speech, where the scale of your wealth directly transfers to the scale of your speech, makes the wealthy just as powerful as they would be in any standard oligarchy.

Rather like some particular family of insects. Both planes (depending on their engine part) and helicopters use aero propulsion but their mechanisms differ somewhat as much as for between helicopters and birds.
This is an explanation for why Google might ask for phone numbers. This is not an explanation for why Google might require phone numbers.

The only valid reasons for the latter are (1) to collect your PII and/or (2) because they think that they know better than you and they're going to force you to do a thing because they think it's in your best interests - in other words, a tyrant ruling over a techno-feudalistic society.

If Google was really concerned only for the safety of their users, and not trying to obtain PII for their personal use, they would build an opt-out button, something that would allow users to print out a one-time-use password/encryption key, or register an alternate email address, in lieu of providing a phone number. They don't.

Your explanation doesn't hold water.

I prefer a hole-punch camera, for the most part. Or hell, even that weird "reverse notch" thing Lenovo has been toying with where there's a small tab at the top of the display to accommodate a bigger webcam. In any case, I'd like to believe we can live in a world where the most well-funded designers and engineers could find us a way to have our 16:10 notchless cake and eat it, too.
I often think this has to do with the demographics of the current game buying population. Nintendo appeals to children, parents and people comfortable enough with their inner child to enjoy fun things.

There are a lot of people who are not like that. For example, there are huge popular mods for kerbal space program that add in military weapons and military vehicles. To some people that is cool as hell, to others its an abomination of the game. I think Nintendo's problem is also this same dichotomy and their popularity ebbs and flows with how the current game buying population leans. Population of gamers into safe and fun games like Mario? Nintendo does well and vice versa.
