In theory, wouldn't Firefox's newly-released "Total Cookie Protection" prevent this, if indeed it works as advertised?

Alternatively, wouldn't you be able to hobble this by just disabling JavaScript?

(Side thought: Remember all those "Flash is bad! Flash is insecure! Flash is malware!" arguments? JavaScript is demonstrably just as bad, maybe even worse, as evidenced by this and literally thousands of other possible attacks it enables...)
When moving the best/least expensive motto in time and money is...
How many do you "need"? Or Will I ever "use" this again.

With a collection or emotional attachment this is a bit more of a grey area. Ultimately, you should look for a way to reduce the stress of a move and spread it out over time. i.e. sell the things you don't "need" or can easily replace once you have moved or move them ahead of the move with some form of moveable storage.

Once you have decided to part with something it might also be worth it to know if it could be donated to someone that will use it. It is worth pondering but not stressing over. The benefits of giving something meaningful should never be overlooked. If you don't know what I mean then try it.

I have the opposite problem. According to my reviews, everyone likes me and I do great work. The only ding against me is that I never talk. I can go weeks without uttering a word in total comfort.
Wait, are you telling me this fucking idiot said that:

John Riccitiello, the CEO of gaming company Unity Technologies, repeatedly sexually harassed female colleagues, propositioning them for sex and then threatening one if she spoke about his behavior, the former executive claims in a lawsuit filed last week.

I mean, if you sexually harass your employees... you're a fucking idiot! and a fucking piece of shit...
That's a pretty harsh criticism of the federal reserve system and "modern monetary theory" but well-deserved.

You are clearly not alone. Skyrocketing rents are a symptom of more people wanting a place to live than there are available spaces. It's not like NYC is bereft of skyscrapers either.
Suffering. Really? All those poor suffering souls, forced to slave away playing... er... video games. Talk about first world problem.

I mean sure, game addiction is a thing, but I remember people shovelling coins into arcade machines. PTW and micro transactions are just the modern equivalent. Nobody's holding a gun to these people's heads.

If you ask me indie and art games are in a renaissance period. It's amazing how many cool games from small dev teams there are on the App Store and Steam. If bored housewives prefer PTW crap, well, they'd probably just be spending it on bingo or scratch cards instead. It's really just mass market casual entertainment moving out of newsagents and bingo halls and on to smartphones, but it's always been there.

This comment is even more disgusting than the video and it's exactly the type of invasive public commentary she's speaking out against. Who are you to make an assessment about this woman's mental state? Or how attractive she is or isn't? Or how "enamored" she is or isn't? What makes you somehow more capable or better suited to assess how she's feeling and what she's thinking than she is herself? The absolute audacity of it is appalling.

Good for her for speaking up and shame on you for your misogynistic and conceited attempt to speak for her.
I agree the market isn’t aligned with fun or respect for consumers
You're free to do what you want of course, but that's a shame. So many great shows.
The speculation is on that the alignment of central banks globally is towards savings debasement and non-custodial property. HODL is a rallying call to exit the current monetary infrastructure into the next one, one that specifically allows for a free market for money. Bitcoin is a bet on that transacting with bitcoins will ultimately be cheaper and with a vastly better security model than all existing infrastructure, from the concerns of a nation state down to microtransactions.

They're not speculating that it will go up for no reason. The investment thesis is that it solves real world problems, and that everyone who thinks it doesn't sounds like someone comparing fax machines to the internet in the 90s.
No, it’s absolutely not the legal obligation. That’s just an internet meme.

> people who want to be housed are having to stretch their funds as far as they possibly can to keep up with the market currently being made by investors and landlords.

I'm sympathetic to the difficulties people are facing right now, and I've seen the stories about housing being purchased by investors. The issue is that the data doesn't seem to indicate a structural change in ownership [0]. Home ownership appears to have peaked at 69.4% in 2004 and now sits at 65.4%, the same level as in 1980.

Well I think his issue is that the staged stuff(that pretends it isn't staged) leads to people trying to copycat the format and do it unstaged
The character usually has a radical component which hints at the pronunciation. They or ordered by radical in the standard. So you would go spelunking for a little-used character in the part of the standard which has characters close in meaning or pronunciation to what you are looking for

Or you just make something up. If you’re coining a new character, you probably don’t care about whether the pronunciation is already known.
It's a really really weird space that didn't really exist in 1984. I would say that today's "engineers" below the 80% salary threshold for this space are today's "construction workers" and heavily democratic voters (There are also of course "construction workers" too, of course).

Maybe about 5 years ago I would have said that people making 200k are wealthy. Today I would say that they are a lot of people that have been duped into a lifestyle where they "think" they are wealthy but are not. They spend MOST of their salary on non-essential and non-asset building things. So in a sense they are people that should be rich, but are not. Instead they don't own property (renters) buy lattes, restaurant food (for every meal) and the rest of that income is just going to payments - the tesla, rv/campers/boats, storage facilities for the stuff that doesn't fit in the apartment.

Those people certainly could become winners of the economic system if they stopped paying everyone else - but they identify with wealthy people making 400k but have absolutely no appreciating assets (ok except for their self driving module that Elon duped them into - which it turns out isn't actually "sellable" to the next owner anyway!).

I don't think these people identify with working class - instead they are pushing a narrative for themselves as poor to feel less guilty about that large salary and how poorly it's being pissed away.

That's the closest I can "explain" that from my personal perspective at least.
Also, it is only about 4km from the border. This is "near" in this context (context being relatively unpopulated area with not much things except for nature within 4km).

I've developed to be a terrible gamer: Great games that are finished in 7 hours usually don't feel worth the money, while games that do these compulsion loops quickly feel like a waste of time.

I think I'm not alone in that, and the few games I really enjoyed in the last couple of years were significantly text-based and/or complex simulations for this reason.

The woman's reaction to feeling patronized is a valid one. But at the same time, I think we probably want to make room for this kind of content online.

The internet is so full of hatred and vitriol. I had to leave Instagram because I couldn't stand the constant political diatribes, gotcha-style quotes and clips, etc. It just brought so much negativity into my life, and I'm much happier without seeing it anymore.

I do see the point[0] that this video is more of a virtue display than a random act of kindness. But, I think the real point of the video is to make viewers happy when they watch it, and I think that's a good thing, even if the creator has some sort of profit motive behind it.

The creator was wrong to lie to the woman about being filmed. He forced her into a situation where she felt patronized and dehumanized. He could've deleted the video and done it to the next person he saw, who maybe wouldn't have felt the same way and would've wanted to participate.

But that doesn't mean that this type of content is vile and disgusting as a category, just because it's not a "true random act of kindness." A lot of us want to see content that just, well, feels nice.

It can go a lot further before people revolt. We don't yet have Calcutta style slums or impoverished favelas like San Paulo.

Or course it'd be great if we weren't heading that direction but try convincing voting demographics that property values should be lower.
Having lived in both New York and Singapore, I can’t say I’d recommend Singapore to anyone who loves NY for the aspects you mention (but there are other reasons to love SG!). I think the scale of opportunities for recreation, arts, and really just a diversity of experience is vastly different. In APAC, I’d suggest Hong Kong (where I’ve also lived) instead, though that is even more like London than NY.
> NYC is generally safer than the rest of America.

I don't think that's true: NYC is at 5.8 violent crimes per 1,000, and the national median sits at 4.0. That's 45% more violent than the median. That's not small! I feel like some PR firm must have implanted this idea in everyone's minds that NYC is somehow magically safer, but it's not showing up in the stats, and if the stats are skewed by reporting its almost certainly worse, not better.
Are you comparing apples to apples with similar sized projects? I'd be curious to hear about larger Godot projects.
This is interesting. I’m comparing this to how musical notation is encoded in unicode. I mean, there is a block dedicated to the symbols, so the symbols are encoded, but you can’t document music using only unicode. But musical documents are being composed and written all the time. To write music you need an additional software which arranges these symbols in a certain way so that they express the authors intention.

I guess math has a similar representation in unicode as well.

All that said, I think people use runes to express magic and spells (even to this day). I don’t think all the magical runes are expressed in unicode (and perhaps they shouldn’t). If you want to use a rune in that way, you might have to draw it out in SVG or something and then email it to your friends.
Yes, that is a good point. Perhaps more interaction could be fostered by giving each player only part of the solution, so you MUST collaborate. Murder mystery is a good one because you could have different clues visible to different players. (Perhaps your class enables you to decode certain clue types.)

One mechanic I thought of for AR Cultist Simulator is to have a “be afraid to share” mechanic where you need to share with somebody in order to unlock recipes/solve challenges, but if you share widely you can be exploited. This could prevent folks from putting up FAQs revealing the solution to a given puzzle, and could provide a great tension and source of drama like Eve Online.

Anyway I think your idea for AR parlor games is a good one, that could be a very fruitful avenue. You could have a DM/host set up the clues within a house and let the rest play the game, or even have everyone scan the house and somehow randomly do the setup.

Come on, that's clearly not what he's saying in that quote. I don't like microtransactions either, but it makes your position weaker to get hyperbolic.

He's saying you have to include monetisation when planning for your game, rather than pretending it doesn't exist. To me this seems so obviously true that it's almost a product design axiom, let alone a priority for businesses. The question is how it should be done, and how well it will be done, which he says nothing about in that quote.
Well, it’s not the only moral instruction in the Bible, to put it mildly.

Consider also the story of the Good Samaritan: Jesus tells the story of a person who goes out of his way to help someone in need. He incurs risk (helping the man meant risking getting caught in an ambush), expense (oil and wine for the wounds plus paying the innkeeper), and inconvenience (he had to interrupt his journey to help). Jesus tells us this is how we should treat our neighbor.

The Samaritan is also assuredly not Christian so isn’t doing this to gain eternal life in heaven through faith in Jesus. It’s pretty obvious and indisputable altruism.

Thank you for clearing up my misconceptions. Is it fair to say Kants view mostly works when there is a universal answer that is not context dependent?

I know this is a bit of an ad hominem and an aside, but is it true that Kant was a loner? Do you think his idealist worldviews contributed to that, I.e., his moral philosophy is more fit for theoretical and academic discussions rather than applied in practice, in the sense that philosophy is aimed at living a better life?
IIRC, Microsoft actually had an hand in Motif, which followed the IBM Common User Access spec. Some of this I suspect was for legal reasons with Apple suing everyone.
Most art is owned privately and stored away (as an investment). Most art that's owned in a museum is stored (and is "donated" to the museum by the private collector).

Also part of the problem is that art is fragile and showing say: a painting can degrade it, as light breaks up pigment. Even in storage, certainly paints/mediums change their physical characteristics. Many "hidden" paintings reveal themselves underneath the oils that make up the final painting as the medium becomes more transparent.

Maybe it should be more clear to the public if the idea that art isn't so much given to museums, rather that artwork is used as a speculative investment by a private party until such a time it makes financial sense to transfer it to a museum. There is also the fact that if one is powerful/influential, you can influence the value of the artwork just by owning it and keeping it out of circulation. The whole private buying and selling of the artwork from gallery owners to auction houses works to raise the value of the artwork through hype, really.

It can be a hell of a grift.

van Gogh wasn't very good at playing that game, even when his brother was an art dealer - that's such a leg up and he blew that advantage. van Gogh isn't known to be all that easy to work with. Attempted murder doesn't help with this. We know him know since we celebrate his mental illness.
When people say Stardew Valley is a counterpoint, are they saying publishers shouldn't pay developers at all until their game is a massive success? ConcernedApe spent 4 years working on the game on a pretty much ramen salary and then hit a success; I vastly prefer whatever dysfunction we have now, to publishers not paying any salaries unless you come with a 1-in-100 success.

Games are a hit driven business; so if you have a success you are incentivized to milk it; if you don't want to be forced to milk it, then don't build 100M-budget games. If you are building a $100M game and not baking in monetization, then you are an idiot.

There's also 奭 https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/%E5%A5%AD which is occasionally used as a censorship workaround to mock one of Xi Jinping's gaffes in an early 2000's TV interview where he bluffed about being able to carry two hundred "catty" (~100kg)'s worth of wheat on rural mountain roads. The character is composed of two 百 ("hundred") and one 人 ("human/person/people") which is a pitoral euphemism to that line he said on TV. I can't find any sources about this one that's in English so please bear with my half-assed explanation.
