I think better tech could solve a lot of this.

1. Can partly be solved with LEDs

2. Should be solvable too. Just stop using normal glass. There's got to be an engineering plastic that's good enough. If Celazole is proven nontoxic that should work, perhaps with fiberglass reinforcement.

3. Can probably be solved too, with nonflat burners. The magnetic field should reach a centimeter up just fine, high enough to be above spills and not worsen messes.

4. Is why we need better battery technology.
I can second Life is Strange, though it gets a bit dark towards the end (though you as the player never engage in violence directly)
Although they are less violent than COD, I think your memory might be a bit off on some of these. 2 examples:

In Portal 1 & 2 there are quite a lot of robots that trying to kill you with guns.[0]
In Mirror's Edge there is a lot of parkour but there's also killing people with various guns.[1]

I am 100% convinced that '80's era landlines had superior sound quality to today's cellphones by any manufacturer. I went out of my way to get a Samsung Note that ostensibly supports some high-quality sound when communicating with another device that supports whatever this profile is called, but all conversations are streams of "what? say again?".

Yes I know that POTS landlines generally discard much not-in-human-vocal-range sounds that still affect how we perceive voice. But even with that limitation, I feel that the difference in sound quality as I remember it and as I now experience it cannot all be attributed to 30 years of rock concerts and rifle fire on these eardrums.
I had the same thought! I don’t know what I’d actually want to do with it, but the tablet form-factor is just begging for some creative attention.

Not sure if those are the best examples. In my personal opinion they both have dubious business models, and they've both made no profit.

No offense to the companies intended, I like both of their products.
In addition to seconding a few recommendations others have already made (Earthbound, Undertale, Monkey Island, Life is Strange), I'd also recommend Alan Wake (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0466662/parentalguide/#advisory...).

> wouldn't it be better to be tracked by someone who at least tries to have your best interests at heart vs. the grocery industry who just wants to sell you more?

Oh man, if somebody with the power of a state tracked everything I did in order to improve my life, and for no other reason than that, I would love it. Sounds like a guardian angel. Sign me up.

But... what if they didn't care about me very much, never really thought of me at all, and really just saw me as one person among tens of millions? What if instead of helping me, their main motivation was to get re-elected?

And what if the government in power was somebody I actively didn't like, and had even protested against? Maybe I felt they were evil and irresponsible. Would I still want them tracking me and trying to change my behavior?

I can think of people I would want to give that kind of power to, but it's the people I don't know about yet that worry me.
Eons and Spacetime are YouTube shows from their digital team, which might explain the difference.
The worst UI offense to me is the new playlist view that came with their new desktop UI last fall. They went from having seperate columns for Song Title and Artist Name and bundled them into two rows within a single column. Not only does this make scanning through a long list of songs/artists much more difficult, it means they've taken away the ability to sort a playlist by Artist which seems like a major downgrade in my opinion as someone who keeps most playlists sorted by Artist most if not all the time.

As you say in that section, "Open source licenses usually grant users permission to use open source software for any purpose." These source-available licenses (SSPL/BSL) are not open source exactly because of that: they place restrictions on users from using the software for any purpose. For example in the case of SSPL, it includes purposefully draconian language in the license that basically means that it can't be used freely to provide a "service". These kinds of "poison pills" obviously stop you from using the software for certain purposes.
Base effects are also an issue.
Most countries (if not all?) are still far from the point where storage "blocks" solar/wind. But moving forward, more storage will be needed. And I am quite optimistic that it will be there as soon there is enough energy to store in the first place. Some of it will come anyway, as electric cars make for great storage. Switching cars to electric doesn't only directly reduce CO2 emissions, they are a great way of storing surplus electricity and also drive the cost for battery storage down.

Right, I think people have no idea that home hifi speakers and amps even in the 1960s could sound essentially as good as today when fed with a good source. However that does not mean that one of those systems found in estate sale will sound ok today. The materials degrade and sound nothing today like they did when sold.

I remember my dad's mid-60s KLH speakers sounding good with a mid-70s Sansui solid state receiver in the early 80s, before one of the tweeters fried and the paper woofer cones really deteriorated.

I remember how beautiful his early 60s Citation tube amp sounded in the early 90s, after we rebuilt it with new electrolytic capacitors and tubes, hooked it up to mid-80s Infinity bookshelf speakers, and drove it with a Sony CD player that had a built-in volume control for its line-out. That amp was based on a video amplifier circuit design and so had decent characteristics not just past audible but nearly into MHz (if it weren't for the low-pass filtering effects of the final transformers and speakers).

I remember how those same Infinity speakers, despite poly woofer cones, also degraded by the mid-90s due to the endemic fungal rot that took all the foam speaker surrounds of that era. A power spike or transport damage also killed one of the tweeter coils. I lived for a while overseas and found an affordable shop where a guy hand rebuilt these speakers for me, replacing the rotten woofer surrounds with contemporary butyl rubber and rewinding the tweeter coil. They sounded just like new again, and I was happy to confirm that my ears were not to blame. I left those behind after another move, so cannot report on their longevity.

It amuses me to think that my "new" hifi setup is almost 15 years old now, with tower speakers and a class D Yamaha receiver that I use as the DAC whether driven by HDMI or TOSlink from a USB audio peripheral. Just like my earlier hifi setups, the limiting factor is room acoustics and practical matters like not upsetting nearby cohabitants or neighbors. I continue to be somewhat boggled by the atrocious sound people are willing to inflict on themselves with phone, computer, or little bluetooth speakers that don't even sound as good as an early 80s "ghetto blaster".

> Delphi at $200 was still a good deal... then the price shot through the roof.

The cheapest non-upgrade version of Delphi was at $100 (you can find it on archive.org) and was that until Delphi 5 or so i think. Later they made that version to be for personal use only and (i think) upped the price for the next bracket and after that they made the personal version free - but only of Delphi 7. After that everything went crazy expensive, until Turbo Delphi, which IIRC had two versions, one free that allowed commercial use but didn't allow installing custom components and a "cheap" (compared to the other versions) $500 version that allowed it, but it was based on the most unstable version of Delphi ever and CodeGear killed it anyway. In recent times they have the "Starter"/"Community" free edition but the license requires that you only have something like $5k / year income, otherwise you must buy at least the next bracket that is around $1700 or so.

Funny how when the entire programming tools industry was going towards more accessible tools, Borland/CodeGear/Embarcadero went the complete opposite direction.
Yeah, seems pretty desperate to me. "We couldn't get enough people to install our app, so we started sending them junk mail urging them to do so."
Back in the day ('noughties through 2015 or so) there was POPFile, which did Bayesian classification of emails for spam filtering. John Graham-Cumming wrote it, and it worked reasonably well. I still think of him as the POPFile guy first, then remember he's the Cloudflare CTO.

A more advanced classifier certainly do better these days.

Of course they can, by becoming a monopoly and driving all other options for things you need out of business. Also by manipulating you with advertisements and propaganda. Coercion has many forms.
Junk mail affects my life.
Consider your example. You have two options proven to work by prior knowledge. Either renewables or nuclear at 3-6x the cost. What do you pick?

There's a statement in the previous paragraph doing most of the heavy lifting: "proven to work". This means no risk, why double invest?

We've already diverted meteors using both renewables and nuclear. Both work. Choose the cheaper option since it's not an one off event, it's an incremental change.

Every nuclear plant or wind turbine is negligible in itself. But the effect is quantifiable and known.

>Keynes wrote that to warn about the risk of inflation in Germany and its potential consequences -- years before high rates of inflation led to the failure of the German mark, the collapse of the Weimar republic, the rise of dangerous ideologues (the Nazis), and ultimately, World War II.

>If Turkey doesn't get inflation under control, it will implode.

As others have told you, Turkey and other countries have seen very high inflation rates for years/decades without collapsing.

Your history of Germany isn't correct, either. The hyperinflation that afflicted Germany in the early 1920s did hurt the Weimar Republic and caused a lot of chaos, but it didn't collapse. Yes, the Nazis were born during the chaotic years, but it remained insignificant as the Weimar government reined in inflation. By the late 1920s Germany was growing again and showed every sign of again becoming Europe's industrial leader. The Nazis took power in 1933, during the worldwide economic depression.

No I don't see the point and have never used them. In the first half of the smartphone era phones would accumulate microscratches but it took a couple years before they became distracting to me and that was around when I replaced phones anyway.

Since, idk, 2016-ish? the screens are resilient enough that they don't scratch in a way that's noticeable while using it, only if you're specifically looking for scratches. Sand is the big exception, I basically keep it in a ziplock at the beach. Otherwise I don't worry about it much.

I don't really think they meaningfully improve your chances when you straight drop the phone. I try not to drop them.
I went in for jury duty on two separate occasions, in Austin, TX.

In the first occasion, we were told by the judge that the case we had been assembled for was settled out of court that morning, so we were going to be used for a different case, involving potential parole for a person who had been convicted, and therefore any police officers in uniform were automatically excused. We were then told that the two sides had agreed to the terms, so it was basically going to be a formality in front of the jury, and so the first twelve people plus the alternates were to stay, since there wouldn't even be any interviews of the jurors to see if either side objected to anyone. I wasn't in the first set of people, so I and twenty or thirty other people just left.

In the second occasion, we had a smaller group and only eight jurors were to be picked. The first thing the judge did was ask where a certain person was, and thanked him for his service as the chair of the law school for UT Austin, and noted that his term had coincidentally ended just that morning. He also excused the chairman emeritus. Serving military personnel were also thanked for their service and excused, due to the nature of the case. Then the lawyers started talking about the basics of the case. This was a personal injury case, and there were multiple parties being sued, who of course each had their own lawyers. All of the defendant lawyers seemed quite capable and very professional. However, the plaintiff lawyer was, to be kind, clearly an ambulance chaser. He kept saying stuff during the intro that he shouldn't be saying and some things were literally illegal to say, and the other lawyers and the judge kept calling him on that. After the intros were done, the judge asked if there was anyone in the room who still needed to be excused, and if so they would need to come up and explain it to him. I held up my hand, and was directed to approach the bench, along with the all of the lawyers. The judge asked me what was wrong, and since the guy was literally standing right next to me, I said "I'm sorry sir, but I have already taken a very intense disliking to one of the lawyers, and I'm afraid that I may not be able to be impartial with regards to anything they might say or do, to the detriment of their clients." The judge seemed quite surprised, and the lawyer for the plaintiff asked me if I could say who it was. Since he was standing right beside me, while looking straight at the judge, I said to him "with all due respect sir, I really don't think you want me to answer that question." The judge excused me, and I think I saw some light smiles on the faces of the other lawyers. As I walked out, I desperately wanted to tell the actual plaintiffs that they needed to get a better lawyer, but I kept my mouth shut.

So far, that's been it.

While it does take place in a war zone, you play from the perspective of the civilians that are trapped within a besieged city and struggle to survive. Violence here is incredibly dangerous for survival, and should be avoided at all costs.

You play as a border control employee that must validate that all people crossing the border have the correct documentation. Due to the nature of the environment there will be some guns/violence involved, but it is by far not the main focus of the game. Glory to Arstotzka.

These games may not be to your liking, depending on how hard you are on the "NO gun/violence" requirement. These approach the topics from a more civilian view than other games.

Word on the grapevine is that there’s a new bill coming up that would classify any crypto that had a presale or ICO as a security. This would include practically 99% of all popular coins, but would still classify BTC as a commodity (since it didn’t have an ICO/presale)

If this is true, Coinbase - and crypto - are in for a rough time
Receiving energy that was not supposed for earth will increase planet heat output (because electricity in the end will heat things). Who knows how that would affect the planet.

The only way to preserve the Earth is smart planning, reducing energy usage and moving industry to the space. IMO Earth should be sanctuary for people to enjoy their origins and for some rich people inevitably. Most people should move to other planets or space objects where pollution does not matter.

It is simply economics. The anti-nuclear movement is insignificant but a very handy scapegoat. If nuclear made sense on a cost basis it would have pushed through somewhere globally. It's quite telling that not even authoritarian states, or very centrally controlled like France have managed that.

I agree that nuclear would have been preferable to fossil energy. But today renewables is way cheaper than either alternative.
