It seems to me like this relates to how much emphasis there is on competition monopolizing the entire market and eliminating less efficient solutions. In the 1980s it seemed like every quirky solution would kind of survive, maybe being too bulky and too expensive (to fabricate) but not licensing X, Y or Z for an exorbitant price.. That greatly added complexity but meant redundancies.

In the current form, I feel like the highest efficiency solution maker (or maybe the one in second place) is usually trying to do extremely low licensing with the idea of winning the whole market. That's great in terms of efficiency and actually lowers complexity but means monoculture with exactly identical dependencies.
There's an awful lot of points on there that are true or partially true. But some things, like terrorism, loomed much larger then than they do today.

The population pyramid is not sustainable. The exponential function just will not allow for the combination of age pyramid and our increasingly effective health care keeping us alive to all become parents.

Tl;DW: we can not prevent the end of exponential population growth. We can only choose how it ends. By starvation, war, disease, or fewer births.

Pension systems have relied on growth for a long time, but it's just not mathematically possible is the long run.
ELI5: After the Nvidia deal fell through, why does Qualcomm think they have a shot? What makes them different in the eyes of US regulators? I'd argue they're business is more monopolistic than Nvidia.
I think you are right if the game offers mostly single-player experiences, though the developers of such games often implement dark patterns that set players up for spending more than they rationally would.

As soon as player-vs-player is introduced, f2p players become part of the "experience" for the whale players.

It is reasonable to say you don't want ads. Unfortunately Uber has decided to say "too bad, what are you going to do about it?"
I’m not particularly trying to say one is better than the other

I’m just tired of people ragging on Tesla, essentially a baby of a company - this coming from somebody who’s been fairly pissed about musk’s dumb antics the past few years - when companies that are literally a century old are unable to guarantee quality off the line.

Somebody else mentioned the airbag manufacturer - no, it is not the airbag manufacturer who had an automobile come off the line for sale to me. It was Ford. A century something old company, who in this age, should never have let something like this happen.

& yes - Ford has been a pain in the fucking ass back when I was trying to get their various recalls taken care of. I think there were 6 on my car alone.

> How has progress been stopped dead in its tracks by wokeism?

It hasn’t taken full effect yet but it has definitely bent the arc of progress toward a lower angle. The extremely harsh imposition of woke views has impacted my own enjoyment of the tech industry, my ability to raise money (I stopped attending a popular Bay Area seed capital meet up because several people repeatedly commented about my white skin color and other details of my background, and due to the terms and conditions of another I never bothered to attend.). I had to leave one company because of its extreme discriminatory positions, and I’ve repeatedly heard moderate amounts of discrimination at several other companies.

There are plenty of doctors and scientists who have given up on or reduced their activity in their field due to similar issues, unfortunately I don’t have time to link all this at the moment.

Also all the ideological statements people need to make to become professors etc I suspect are influencing people away from academia and so academia becomes more about advocacy than research.

It’s a miracle that we’re continuing to progress, but it would’ve been even better I suspect if we hadn’t had all these hindrances.

Also think about all the men who are crushed in biased divorce outcomes, which is tangentially related to the woke issue, and influences their productive activities. It’s all sort of related to the oppressor oppressed narrative.
Political will for transferring wealth from certain portions of the population to others can change quickly. Also, the pension amount likely will not keep up with real inflation, as is the case today.

It can easilly be a voip phone.
The problem is with businesses that are in some other business than the app business. For example the coffee business. It doesn't matter how good/bad the app is, usually the app wasn't why you chose their business, it was location, quality of a product etc. And it's their app or no app.
Hmm, I'm not sure what the answer is. One idea is to regular devices for consumers differently than devices for businesses. That's not a full solution though, because there's lots of news about farmers having to hack their tractors to get them to work, which is evidence that even businesses want to be able to modify their firmware sometimes.
> It seems that nobody expected the software and signalling to take an additional 4 years of time. Somebody somewhere really messed up that part of the project. Everything else - the main civil engineering project - did go extremely smoothly and was even ahead of schedule at times.

I understand software and signaling took extra time, but those drove the costs too? Compared to the rest, they don't seem expensive.
And how do those compare to the cash-grab market revenue? (Actual question). Let's include games like Genshin and FGO.

Do I get an extra upvote if I point out (slightly more seriously) that you use CSS Colors Level 4 for rules like:

.bg-green {
background-color: rgb(194 225 173/var(--tw-bg-opacity)) !important;
}

which seems a little over-complicated (and under-supported[0]) just for setting a green background.

Not a big deal, though, as I really enjoyed the game, and appreciate you making it available to people for free. Thank you!

Gitlab has the most baffling billing policy. Since they removed their lowest tier, they have nothing in between $0 and $228/user/year, basically offering no easy onramp for smaller customers. Enterprise or go home I guess.

Since they’re still here, it must be working for them somehow, but seems nuts to me.
Sadly, features aren't added to Android because they're good for users, they're added because they'll look good in someone's promotion packet.
What upsets me is that in exchange for that money you’re treated to a low quality game. You can just feel the disdain for the user/victim at every step.

While launching the game for the first time:

1) No sound!

2) Forced subtitles.

3) Visible tearing in the video because of a lack of vsync.

4) Two tracking and notification permission prompts, including one that lies to you: “Your game is better if we can target ads”.

5) Obnoxious tutorial that takes control away from the player. (If an adult spoke like this to me in real life I would slap them for their insolent patronising!)

6) Forced updates.

7) Etc…

At this point I deleted then game because I don’t want to be gamed by a mega corp. I’m not a money bag to be tracked and siphoned.
Whats Elden Ring got to do with it?

You are comparing a full AAA game for PC and console made for hardcore gamers versus a mobile game with loot boxes designed to attract and exploit kids or people that addicted to this kinda crap and disguise it like a game, pretty much like slot machine do.

[Serious] Change my view: EA is moral laundering for accumulating wealth.

For the record, I am skeptical of philanthropy to begin with, but I am nonetheless interested in what followers of EA might have to say to counter this assertion ^.
Forgive my ignorance, web et al is not my specialty, but how does this work with HTTPS traffic? Do you install a root cert in the dev environment like Wireshark to be able to mirror agnostically? Or does there need to be application config (DNS change, internal routing changes) to make this work? If the latter, what's the value add here?
I hope more country follow suit of Belgium and The Netherlands and classify loot boxes with a random drop element as gambling, and as such make it heavily regulated and banned to kids. This kind of practices are evidently predatorial and manipulative and should be greatly discouraged.
Particularly since "woke" is starting to become slippery, like "cancel culture" , "the left" and "political correctness," so that it no longer really has a definition (certainly not its original definition) beyond a general pejorative and fear trigger.
You're right that it's not the case that "someone else" pays the whole bill. But why should they?

It's a personal choice to have children, and it's impossible to be a parent X hours a day and also spend those same X hours "in the lab".

Just like it's not possible to spend all your time in the lab and also be a (present) parent.

The limited time for everything that can be done in a lifetime is not about "fairness", and nobody owes you to be able to do all things in life, even if it were possible, which it isn't.
I skipped those books entirely, and also felt I did not miss anything.
I think sports chest straps get overlooked even talking about this space.

DCraimaker is a very active and does deep statistical analysis and recording for comparing many types of chest straps and wrist straps. Worth checking out. [3]

The polar H10 has been compared to medical grade heart rate monitors and has is as good if not better. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31004219/ shows an evaluation for EKG. Polar also has sdk to develop apps.

It's the "gold standard" but there have been more and more advances in the space. But the polar h10 has stood the test of time.

If you're into fitness, and happen to have a polar H10 you can get tons of data from just wearing the strap overnight. Via this recommended android app. It supports mqtt as well. You can see live or you can record to file. There's no cloud involved and you can export directly from app.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.j_ware.pol... [1]

My tried and true app I have been using for workouts that's also gives me a Pulseometer RR. It doesn't do EKG but I have recording of over 18 hours no problem. Its a little out of date, in terms of not getting updates. But it is solid. It also does hrv and again local exports to csv.

Chest strap = EKG, wrist! = ekg as it's optical

*excluding the apple watch, however chest/electrodes will always be accurate than wrist/optical sensory not to mention battery life.

I did leave off garmin products intentionally. They don't share ekg and at that price range I would suggest a Polar H10. Polar has a an sdk available for their products.

I found one but study but there's plenty to validate that it is indeed medical grade if you search. I know many sports fitness studies that have used polar H10.

You need bluetooth for ekg data. Ant+ only does hrv (with app), RR and basic HR data.

If anyone has a windows PC app that logs and shows live EKG data for the polar H10, I would love to your suggestions. I have Golden cheetah and have experimented with android emulators but most seem to lack a proper bluetooth stack.

What stops you from using discord messages as a database? :p I really enjoy this type of stuff though, is there a term for it?

A while back after skype got rid of their sdk I was annoyed that the app didn't unfurl gifs. So I reverse engineered their api for sending/updating messages and I realized you could update a message that contained a file. The only problem was the file had to be on their servers or a client wouldn't display it. So I reverse engineered the ios app as well to find a way to get a file on their servers (I don't recall why I couldn't do it from the web api). After that I had two things: a way to get files on their servers, and an api to update messages. So I took each frame of a gif, uploaded to their servers, and then used the api to update the message at the rate of the gif.

Of course there will be people making discord bots out there laughing at how simple this sounds, but the combination of reverse engineering as well as applying that to affect a new feature in the app I thought was pretty novel.
People love to shout from the top of the hill how much they promote equality, fair treatment for everyone, until it hits them in the pocket. Until the restaurant bill is a bit higher, until their Amazon orders aren't arriving by the end of the same day. And then they find reasons to explain why equality and fair treatment aren't for everybody. Or they close their eyes and pretend there's no problem, those people don't exist as long as you never think about them.

And the reasons why poor people are universally exploited are straight forward. They have no say, and no power. When other discriminated groups (color, gender, sexual orientation, etc.) get some power they're still part of that group but when poor people get to power they are no longer poor and have very little interest in pursuing that cause. On the other hand trying to help any of these people is quickly branded as socialism (or worse, communism) and that's a scarlet letter sentence which most do their best to avoid.

“Alternative energy sources fail to materialize.” I wonder how likely this seemed back then? Today generation seems like it could be covered by renewables and even further grown/expanded without much debate. The questions shifted to storage and generally “the will to do”.

I wonder whether to complain about those colors or be thankful. Looking at that combination seems to make me so much more appreciative of everything else after looking at it.
Everyone seems to be focusing on the crazy assertion that the Roman Empire collapsed quickly. But what stood out to me was citing Blockbuster as a complex system. They didn't die because an interconnected web of dependencies started to rot, they died because their entire reason for existing disappeared.

It's an interesting topic but the examples included are really weak.
‘Deadbots’ can speak for you after your death. Is that ethical?
> Who cares what these companies want or what their business models are?

The people who bought and got value from systems that otherwise wouldn't have been developed?
yes and no. complex systems are not designed to be complex from the start. they are in fact successful simple systems that have evolved. Any complex system that is around for a while will have build in redundancy and, as a matter of fact, will run in degraded mode.

So I don't buy into the complex system collapse faster idea. I would say that if you were to look at a simple system and and a [working] complex system the simple system is going to collapse faster in case of a failure, while you may not notice failures as a complex system works around them). What the author here observes is the catastrophic collapse in the late stage of the system where something leads to the almost simultaneous collapse of multiple subsystems.

Here is one of my favourite writings that ties complex systems with failure:

It's worth noting that although there are neurochemical and synaptic differences in individuals with depression and individuals without, the vast majority of the time it's due to environmental factors from chronic, long-term stress and unhappiness. There is no evidence to suggest any form of "chemical imbalance" happens from birth, or is lifelong, on a large scale. Therapy, building a positive social support group, and proper sleep, diet, and exercise are just as likely to "fix the chemical imbalance" as antidepressants.

The chemical imbalance idea is an oversimplification of what is going on. There is evidence that giving a serotonin agonist helps symptoms of depression, giving a dopamine agonist helps ADHD symptoms, a dopamine antagonist helps with some symptoms of schizophrenia, etc. Therefore, you want to conclude that if blocking (or increasing) a neurotransmitter relieves symptoms, that the person did not have the right levels of the neurotransmitter in the first place, thus, a chemical imbalance. The problem with this idea is that simply changing the levels of a neurotransmitter does not necessarily cause a clinical effect. Take depression, once you start taking an SSRI, your serotonin levels start to increase right away, but you will not see the mood enhancing effects for a couple of weeks. This is likely because there are issues with serotonin receptors, and the flood of extra serotonin helps to reset them. For schizophrenia, if too much dopamine was the answer, we would expect to see increases in its metabolites, but we do not. More likely, there is a problem in the pathway that projects dopamine from the midbrain to the forebrain, which causes it to not function properly as negative feedback, therefore allowing over-activity of dopamine pathways from the midbrain to the limbic areas.

I personally believe this is why many invidivuals report post-trip lessening of depression or anxiety, cessation of smoking or other addictive behaviors such as gambling, and even improvement of cluster personality disorders symptoms in some cases. It's not an inherent neurological trait, but a complex interaction in the way that you view the self and society. Psychedelics allow people to view situations and experiences in a way they've never viewed them before, and in a way this is giving a key to a perspective that they've never heard before but resonates deeply with them, helping to initiate serious change.
We did comparisons between self hosted gitlab and gitea.

gitea was considerably easier to set up, and much more bulletproof. gitea was much lighter on resources.

We had a use case to be able to mirror thousands of repos. gitlab would fall flat on its face. gitea had no issues.

We turned this over to corporate, and they chose gitlab. gitlab had great sales people.

I have yet to see one comparison to the fall of Rome that wasn't complete horse shit - and this is no exception. It's just madness from the beginning - "Rome" began to fall as soon as it was relevant, it lasted for more than a millenium, and if you just pick the right point in time, you can make an argument for almost anything.

Except in this case the author didn't even bother to pick the right time, instead opting for some quote "A few centuries" before the "rapid" descent. Most empires last only a few decades.
Ah that makes perfect sense, thanks!
