Yeah, makes sense. I'm gonna try that out. Thanks!
You used the word literally four times in your post, and even twice in one sentence.

What's the fascination with this word? It seems to be used to add completely unneeded emphasis, rather than anything resembling its original definition.
It's by subsidiary of SME (Aniplex). Actually they have some experiene for mobile games (primary in Japan) but it's not SIE (now HQ'd in the US). OP title should say SIE rather than Sony.
I see your pain. That's why I posted a related startup idea here recently. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32493174 It's basically a villa / meditation center without internet connection. One interesting sample is in UK. https://unplugged.rest/

Regarding travel, Eric Schmidt had an interesting story. I think he spoke on Tim Ferriss's podcast that once he was on a business trip to North Korea with a group of people. Before boarding the plane, he was instructed by homeland security people to not bring in any connected devices, including phones. So everyone in the group went in without smartphones. For the next 2 weeks "everyone in the group became best friends" and they "had so much fun and many interesting conversations." (I'm paraphrasing) But once they return to airport and got their phones back, "we all immediately sunk into our phones and stopped talking to each other."

Maybe your best bet is North Korea? Seriously though, I think more and more people will see the benefit of occasionally entering into an "internet free" zone, by themselves or in groups. Preferably the zone is designed specifically for offline experience, not an augmented one relying on the guest's own "will power" to resist the pressure of internet.
Until recently, this was very difficult to do. Only now with the mainstream emergence of blockchain, this has become easy. Blockchain is the smartest idea. Smart people are everyone now and accessible. You just need to sign a smart contract with them and start interacting. In no time, you will be smart too. And the good thing about blockchain is that your oppressive goverments cant control it, which means they can't stop you from becoming smart.
I can. There's plenty of videos on YouTube that end up tiring by the end of ten minutes, even if they contain informative or entertaining content. What I do not understand is how they expect whatever revenue they can get from a 6-7 minute video can pay off the cost of bringing in celebrities to star in them.
The good news is that maybe we got it backwards, in at least some of the cases[1]:

> Higher fasting insulin and higher c-reactive protein confound the association between BMI and the risk of all-cause mortality. The increase in mortality that has been attributed to higher BMI is more likely due to hyperinsulinemia and inflammation rather than obesity.

You're responding to someone giving a reason that isn't based on chance.

Chance is a completely separate topic, but also has a simple answer. Chance doesn't mean that everyone has the same chance. If one player has 40% odds and the other has 60% odds, you want the 60% player to compete.
They may not have made as much as the Switch + its total game sales, but as individual games Fire Emblem Heroes and Pokemon Go have done pretty darn well (hundreds of millions of USD in microtransactions each).

Granted, I would not personally consider them amazing works of art as games but they are financially bringing in a good amount of profit for Nintendo.
The market-based solution to externalized costs is to tax them. For example, taxing the carbon content of fuels.

The US didn't really do lockdowns; there were restrictions, particularly for international travel and to Hawaii, but people weren't confined to their homes as they were in other countries. Even in the more restrictive states you could always go out. But in many countries restrictions were much, much tougher.
I don't think I've ever even played a game on my phone except for playing Pokemon Go long enough to "catch" the first pokemon and then put it away.

Mobile games are good for nothing except wasting people's time and brain energy and getting people addicted to microtransactions.

Microtransactions have got to regulated away, because they're destroying people's attention spans. We waged wars against drugs and profanity in music, but yet because microtransactions makes people a shit ton of "clean" money, they're allowed. Microtransactions are incredibly addicting, and research shows that this type of gaming is harmful to the brain.

I agree it's not magic. I don't think art requires magic.

As a pretty handy example, photographers are considered artists. I took photography pretty seriously at one time, and it's very dear to me, but I will say that I don't think there's very much magic in it.

I don't think the algo is thinking or sentient or anything like that. It's hard to argue that it's not producing art, though.

Tangent: I would also argue humans are designed. I don't mean any mysticism: I think all life is being designed by unthinking processes. As evidence, just look at all the specialist life-forms that are filling a niche that they were...well, designed for.
Low carb diet helped me with this. Calories in calories out, but if you have a lot of carbs you are going to get hungry when restricting the calories, whereas on a low carb diet I sometimes have to think hard as to whether I have had breakfast or not by 10am. Having woke up at 7am. "Oh I should probably eat something..."

I think I have less than 50g of carbs a day, and probably 1500 calories but I don't track it too closely. I also do strength, but a little each day and make it incidental. I might play with the TRX or do a few pull up or dips at the park while the dogs are off leash.

Something that makes it easier is there are low carb treats and drinks. It does mean taking in more alcohol (as in chemically an alcohol, not ethanol) based sweeteners, so I worry about that a little.

For someone who doesn't go out much this is easy, but in your younger years with social pressure it might take a lot of will power, and even changing your friends and breaking up with partners and so forth to support this kind of habit, since it goes counter to the average person's culture in the west. Especially quitting alcohol too.
remember during the lockdowns when incidence of cancer diagnoses, heart disease, and other life threatening ailments fell through the floor? I guess those chickens are coming home to roost. The total isolation resulting in depression/drug use, addiction, and overdose may have had a weee bit of an affect too.
> And, of course, Klobuchar (as is her usual method of operation when pushing bills that fundamentally break the internet)

I get so tired of media companies thinking that shifts in ad spend will break the internet. Fuck them. Because of that sentiment (arrogance) alone I hope this passes.
If you think that's crazy, read about the old Tour de France races. The stages were significantly longer than they are now (300 km to 480 km), and for a while the bikes only had two speeds. To change which gear you were in you had to take the wheel off and flip it around.

In the 1913 Tour, Eugène Christophe broke his fork. He walked two hours to the nearest blacksmith, spent 3 hours repairing the fork himself (otherwise it would have been outside help), and he still got a time penalty because he let a little boy pump the bellows for him.

This is it, right here. Good games are fun to lose as well. Otherwise it's just a competition where you occasionally beat people and feel amazing about yourself, or lose to people and feel terrible. The variable reward system in ranked LoL messes with our brains, gambling machines and pay-to-win games have exploited this for years.

League, at least for me, didn't seem like a fun game (at least in like 2010 or whatever it was?). Most of the time was hitting hapless minions and waiting for some timer to finish so you could finally fight a human or go jungle/dragon or whatever it was. But that would be over in a few seconds and then back to grinding away at some shitty NPCs. Maybe some people enjoy the actual gameplay enough but 99% of my LoL friends played either for social purposes or were hyper competitive.

I found SC2 way more fun, pretty much every game was fun unless the opponent themselves did something boring like cannon rushing. I would routinely come up with interesting builds/strategies and test them out on people (fun to figure out if it worked or not). Mass marines, weird timing attacks, anti-meta. I didn't see that flexibility in LoL. The mechanics (for me) were far more involved and enjoyable anyway but that's my shitty opinion.
The problem is inherent to central planning, because central planning is unable to deal with the local complexities of a problem.

For example, during the gas crisis around 1980, the Dept of Energy was empowered to determine the gas allocation for every station in the country. The allocation was based on the previous year's markets. This was well-intentioned, but it did not take into account the fact that markets change constantly. The result was stations with gluts and stations with shortages.
Anti know-how can be a pretty good teacher as well. 18 months at a terribly run startup showed me all things not to do when I started my own.

Not if both governments consider the people living on the other government’s landmass to be rightfully their citizens as well.

A close analogy might be to East and West Germany: both agreed that there should be just one place called “Germany”; they just didn’t agree on who should be in charge of it.
I use a gender neutral restroom, but our office has none. ... Political?

I use they/them pronouns, and I ask politely for others to use them... Political?

Cause I've been told that being a queer person is political. I don't think it is, it's just... Who I am.

People who say no politics at work generally have never had to think about how some identities are perceived as innately political.
This is dumb. It’s as logical as trying to ban cryptography.
I wonder how the median life expectancy has been changing in the past few years. Using the mean certainly allows for some shock and awe, and certainly serves to scare people (considering how much it is skewed by things like infant mortality, drug epidemics, wars, and most anything else that involves people dying at drastically different ages than the otherwise usual range), but it's always seemed to me that the median would be a more useful number. Indeed, the median has generally been a good few years above the mean, at least in America, though I can't say I've found tracking the data down nearly as easy as with the mean (okay, I tried for like, 7 seconds...but it wasn't in the top few results). Never mind the mode, which is even higher than either.

It'd be nice to see data compiled showing the relation of mean, median, and mode, plotted over time, for life expectancy data. At the very least it'd likely help curb inflation, as people recognize that they're going to need a lot more retirement savings if they're suddenly saving for an extra decade than they were expecting using statistics improperly...

Hear, hear.

One of the greatest failings of our "modern" healthcare system is that there's no plan to address this crisis. Obesity is the gateway to what seems like an infinite amount of health complications - not to mention the additional burden on the health care system itself when they get sick. I fully acknowledge that it's a difficult subject, it upsets people, and it's uncomfortable. The greatest healthcare advice our leaders can give us right now is for everyone to exercise a little more and lost a little weight. Isn't this the perfect time for that? We're coming out of a pandemic and we have the actual data that showed that obese people were uniquely susceptible to bad outcomes from this disease.

>As a most simple example, if you can trigger a local DoS to force a process to exit then you can race to bind it's port and potentially

Which is why what we really need is the ability to set properties on each network port and have those persist across reboots.

Give me some path in /sys where I can write a message of some kind, or an ioctl, which allows me to say "user httpd can bind to port 80". Or even as specific as user, port, protocol (TCP/UDP/etc) and ip address.

Requiring that I have to be root to set CAP_NET_BIND_SERVICE every time I replace my web server executable sucks.
The alternative would be that installing the extension immediately wipes all of your cookies, local storage, and other local data. Most users probably don't want this.
There are plenty of good mobile games if you know where to find them. Case in point, the two I play currently:

- Call Of Duty Mobile

The microtransactions are strictly cosmetic only, and even then there are ways to obtain otherwise paid skins through free currency by just playing the game.

- Soul Knight

Less than half the characters are paid, the rest can be obtained through free currency. And considering the amount of content they put in the game and that it's updated regularly, I daresay it's a fair ask.
Privileged ports can be grabbed by a designated service and then handed off to an application. The application itself does not have to start as root. I believe systemd does this.

The point is to prevent a literal nobody user on the system from grabbing 22 and MITM SSH or some similar shenanigans.
As a Linux user, thoroughly looking forward to this. Not having an AG desktop application like Windows is a drag.

Free market forces ended slavery (as slavery could not compete with free labor).

Child labor used to be necessary for subsistence farming as otherwise everyone would starve. Improving productivity due to free markets ended that, and made it possible for children to not need to work.

Have you ever thought about children in your workplace? In most I'm aware of, they'd be useless and even counterproductive. Child labor is only for the most menial of tasks, and those have long been automated.

My whole nuclear family uses find my. More than once I’ve helped give my wife directions by watching her dot on the map (Apple Maps had some problem). I regularly use it to pickup the kids when they have been walking around town. Rather than texting me their location every time they move, I just get directions when I leave and let them know when I’m close. I mean, at least a dozen companies know my location at all times (Apple, Verizon, Weather.com, Google, Tile, etc) so hardly an issue for my family to know.

As far as stalking or surveillance, I mean most people live very boring lives so watching them go from home to work or school: you have to really have nothing going on.
