Give Hard space: Ship breaker a try. It's a chore-core set in space where you break down surprisingly believable ships with surprisingly believable physics to a fantastic soundtrack in a kinda-borderlands-precursor universe. It's got a maximum timer of 15m per shift, so it's easy to drop in and out, but you can spend multiple shifts on a particular ship, or just gut the biggest systems and move on every day.

The attention to detail is my favorite part. Good sound of vacuum (dampened and transmitted by touch), good 3d movement and drift, and great attention to pressure and decompression hazards.

So many video sources coming with only surround mixes, or lazy stereo mixes that were made automatically from surround mixes, while very few homes have a surround system at all, and even fewer have one that's at least decently-calibrated, has been absolute hell for being able to tell WTF anyone's saying in movies. I suspect many VHS releases had better audio for most people's actual system even today, than the blu-ray of the same movie does.

If it's a strawman than your original statement was a non-sequitur, as I cover below.

> Of course. But they are also seeing far more benefit than not investing.

I believe your statement was that people can invest in the stock of these companies that would theoretically be getting most the profit to get "your share" of the profits, as opposed to it being slurped up by the wealthy.

This isn't about benefiting in some small way, it's about the benefit not ending up disproportionately in the hands of those that already have it. That was the context in which your statement of how you can just buy stock to get your share was made, because that's what this thread of the conversation was about.

> Remember that Gamestop stock craze a year ago? Many people playing that game were very low income people, including kids. Somehow they did have money to invest, when they thought it was worthwhile.

You mean the bunches of young people that took out loans to invest, or took their saving from living at home with their parents that they could have used to actually become independent? Is that what we're encouraging now? Because that was my take on that situation. A bunch of desperate people taking a risky gamble that happened to pay off, at least for some.

> For foreign content (like Anime) I use dubs + subs (the subs are of the initial English translation before the dubs were done) because it gives 2 passes at any given line. I find it very interesting to see how they change things between the two and it sometimes paints a fuller picture.

Anime is an interesting case, because — remember, a lot of these threads are about poor enunciation and mixing? — anime tends to be really well enunciated, and the characters speak like they're on stage. It's easy to follow along. I keep subs on, because I don't understand literally everything, but usually I don't read them.

If you look at the code that is typically put out by non-software engineers (researchers, etc.), there seems to be a complete lack of software engineering knowledge (obviously). Sure, they can write code to do clever things, but put it into a package? What’s that? Run a linter? Never heard of it. Git? It’s that thing you use to save to the cloud, right? Documentation? Of course we published a paper!

I'm by no means an expert, but is it really that hard to remember clone, pull, commit -a, push and maybe something else you'd need. That you need a GUI? And even then you can either use the help or man or just Google it and you'll remember the right command sooner than later.

By your theory, any business with suppliers or retail customers is one hire away from extinction. But we don’t actually see all that much of this kind of competition out in the real world. There is a reason that firms specialize: the size and organization of a firm is tied pretty tightly to the kinds of activities that pay the bills and manufacturing is very different from sales and marketing is very different from running an online retail marketplace.
That’s how I watch movies in general. Maybe it’s a symptom of ADHD or lack of interest but I find it hard to remember people’s names and plot reveals that require me to remember to specific locations or details. I just watch movies and enjoy them “generally”.

>Reddit also has a Terms of Service and it has banned hate groups under such terms of service.

>So of course moderation seems biased when your views are hateful to begin with.

It doesn't seem biased, it is biased. Reddit's policy on "hate groups" is both sexist and racist, according to one of their employees, and their actual practices.

"Our rule1 protects groups that are attacked based on a vulnerability, which doesn't pertain to white people or men as a group." Screenshot: https://i.imgur.com/NgOxEg0.png

What is rule 1?

"Remember the human. Reddit is a place for creating community and belonging, not for attacking marginalized or vulnerable groups of people. Everyone has a right to use Reddit free of harassment, bullying, and threats of violence. Communities and users that incite violence or that promote hate based on identity or vulnerability will be banned." (https://www.redditinc.com/policies/content-policy)

So in practice, the policy is actually:

"Remember the non-white male human. Reddit is a place for creating community and belonging, not for attacking non-white people or women. Everyone except white people and men have a right to use Reddit free of harassment, bullying, and threats of violence. Communities and users that incite violence or that promote hate against non-white people or women will be banned."

These days I automatically assume that anything reddit bans as a "hate group" was nothing of the sort. Hate groups are perfectly allowed on reddit, if you hate the correct people. Here's a sample of currently active ones:

* https://old.reddit.com/r/FragileWhiteRedditor/

* https://old.reddit.com/r/FragileMaleRedditor/

* https://old.reddit.com/r/FemaleDatingStrategy/

* https://old.reddit.com/r/AreTheStraightsOK/

There are a bunch of fragile$GROUP subs that redirect to FragileWhiteRedditor or FragileMaleRedditor too, here's a fun example: https://old.reddit.com/r/fragileblackpeople/ The sole post says "Nope. Nice try /r/FragileWhiteRedditor." These subs all make it really obvious that the real policy is not the one in the official policy, but the one that exempts men and white people as a group from any protections.

That we went from "I have no job at all and am unemployable" to "it appears I can be exploited for my labor at a rate that doesn't allow me to escape poverty, but may allow me to at least not starve to death" is not defensible or desirable.

That you see it as acceptable or a reflection of a legitimate "choice" moreso reflects on your inexperience with or inability to adequately reason about the reality of sincere poverty, not reality.

Power is the ability to do work quickly.

If some is arguing, and they are more powerful, they can "work through" argumentation faster than you. Therefore someone who is more powerful than you can argue faster and more effectively.

If you wish to disagree you must be both demonstrably correct and able to provide the work.

"Here's one I prepared earlier" is most effective as long as the preparation is demonstrably correct.

Take your time, make sure you know how to argue all aspects clearly and fully, and be patient. The powerful, such as they are, tend to be impatient.

The wise let others work, both separately and together, and build on all available agreement.

The transmission losses are something inherent in the system that can’t be avoided, and if someone could solve that problem they’d help a great deal with greenhouse emissions and I’d certainly applaud that.

But this 1 in 1000 watts going to ethereum mining is entirely useless, contributing nothing to society except a Ponzi scheme that, like most Silicon Valley bullshit, only exists because regulations haven’t caught up yet. I don’t care that 1 in 1000 watts is a small number. The wattage going to Finland actually gives tens of millions of people electricity to live their lives. Crypto mining is just tech bros playing with funny money, robbing people of real money in the process.

Cloudtorus

I generally use Spotify.

I make heavy use of the weekly playlists that they automatically curate, to give me the latest from artists I follow as well as a weekly Discover playlist. If I find something I like, I go to the song's radio and listen to similar songs, as well as check out the related Artists, and the Artists related to them as well.

This process usually turns into at least a dozen new songs I like, each and every week. I go through them while chilling, and the relaxation combined with the new music is a very relaxing way to end and begin each week.

Beta reduction is in fact the essence of LC - without it all you'd have is a nice tree.

The beauty and generality of LC is that x doesn't need an explanation, it is just a placeholder, yet that is enough to define interesting (perhaps all) things.

> The real question is: Why should passing calculus be required to major in biology any more than passing biology should be required to major in math?

Interesting question, why should I be required to pass biology?

There are a lot of good points addressed thoroughly in other threads here, but (while calculus may fill a bit of a different role) education to a little bit of depth in a variety of areas does seem to be part of the role of a college (at least at present). I think requiring statistics to be taken more broadly would be great for our society, but calc (especially when taught well) definitely touches on areas of thinking that other subjects don't cover.

(Obviously slightly biased perspective from a math major.)

Here's another speculation: A lot of movies, etc are mastered for surround sound and the single downmix is pretty terrible. It's actually quite a rabbit hole in the ffmpeg forums. But basically the non-front channels end up contributing too much volume and end up drowning out spoken voice a lot of the time.

I know this happens on BD, but I wouldn't be surprised if Netflix + co are using the same source, and 20-somethings probably don't have large places with surround sound systems.
Oh I 100% agree, if this argument were about the ISPs, which control access to the infrastructure via local monopolies.

It’s not. It’s about individual private publishers, of which there are potentially infinite. That is the beauty of the internet.

No what I mean, is that they only care about the effect of the state on the UI.

There’s a difference between determining the state, and deciding how that state affects the pixels on the screen. The former is the domain of engineering, and the latter is the domain of design. I’m not saying at all that designers don’t care about state.
I had a similar realization, but it was a more generalized version of what you described. Unhappiness is what happens when expectations or desires don't match up with reality; if you want to be happy, learn to be content with the moment and what exists right in front of you right now.

On the other hand, one needs to dream, and hope--and that's what we should do. But leave goals and hopes for the future only, and don't hold on to failures, dwell on the past, or what could have been, or what is (whatever current reality you're discontent with).

> People can quit Uber/Lyft whenever. Indentured servitude cannot be quit.

This implies they have viable alternate choices (setting aside the obvious other option, unemployment or being houseless). It may be that Uber/Lyft are the only employers they have access to, or they may otherwise have a sufficient amount of bills / debt that they have no personal time / cash to explore employment alternatives adequately.

Conservative (and by and large its ally, libertarian) politics lean on this often obfuscated nuance to sell this idea that the poor always have the choice to simply leave exploitative employers. It is not so simple.
>I love the idea of the Paradox grand strategy games, but they seem to me to be almost gratuitously complex. Everything has so. many. parameters. In turn, this seems to make the games (1) require learning a lot of details that are 'coincidental complexity' rather than 'essential complexity' (like a staggering number of unit types and combinations), serving only the purpose of having a (superficially) richer backdrop, and (2) involve a lot of micro-management at the most miniscule levels, again seemingly just to have those things in there, not necessarily because they make a big difference in how the game plays out.

Well, the idea is to simulate running a country, so "a mass of small things that funnel into few things" is kinda the point. The richer backdrop is entire point here, and the bunch of smaller systems have storytelling purpose aside from purely mechanical one. And on occasion some small decision does play role much farther in. Like, hell, I had cases where me getting a cat saved me in the long term coz I got stress reduction from it in a moment where I really needed it.

Factorio would be on the other end of that, there is very little unneeded complexity and very well paced gameplay.

There are games like Distant Worlds that allow for varied level of automation (up to fully AI running empire), which is in itself pretty interesting idea when it comes to teaching players complex games.

>This has kept me from jumping in. From my point of view, I would love it if there would be simple way to dumb down some of the systems, have the game handle some of the micro-management, possibly remove some of the nuance of units, traits, and so on. I know it exists in the games to some extent, but from what I have seen enabling these things in itself required quite a bit of work. Perhaps I just haven't looked hard enough.

CK3 is significantly easier than CK2 to get in. I hit the ground running with CK3, bounced hard off CKII.
