Here's a toy model without interest to make this easier for you to grok:

T0: We both have $0.

T1: We both borrow $10,000 and have -$10000

T2-T11: We both make $2,000, of which I pay back $1,000, you pay back $0 per time period

t11: The government pays off your $10,000 loan

At T11 I will have $10,000, and you will have $20,000.

I agree.

I always thought that late Paul Ciliers' did a great summary on complexity (sorry no online link):

"Complexity in a Nutshell:

I will not provide a detailed description of complexity here, but only summarise the general characteristics of complex systems as I see them.

-Complex systems consist of a large number of elements that in themselves can be simple.

- The elements interact dynamically by exchanging energy or information. These interactions are rich. Even if specific elements only interact with a few others, the effects of these interactions are propagated throughout the system. The interactions are nonlinear.

- There are many direct and indirect feedback loops.

- Complex systems are open systems – they exchange energy or information with their environment – and operate at conditions far from equilibrium.
Complex systems have memory, not located at a specific place, but distributed throughout the system. Any complex system thus has a history, and the history is of cardinal importance to the behaviour of the system.

- The behaviour of the system is determined by the nature of the interactions, not by what is contained within the components. Since the interactions are rich, dynamic, fed back, and, above all, nonlinear, the behaviour of the system as a whole cannot be predicted from an inspection of its components. The notion of emergence is used to describe this aspect. The presence of emergent properties does not provide an argument against causality, only against deterministic forms of prediction.

- Complex systems are adaptive. They can (re)organise their internal structure without the intervention of an external agent.

Certain systems may display some of these characteristics more prominently than others. These characteristics are not offered as a definition of complexity, but rather as a general, low-level, qualitative description. If we accept this description (which from the literature on complexity theory appears to be reasonable), we can investigate the implications it would have for social or organisational systems."

> genderless athletics would deny a lot of women the opportunity to participate at all. Is this really the goal?

Well, the examples in the article were people who were told they couldn't compete in a sport, because of their gender (i.e. women can't wrestle) not combining seperate gender categories within a sport, so I think they're arguing against women being denied the opportunity to participate at all.
My understanding is that at places like big game studios, people developing developer tooling are doing so as their full time job.
Interesting. I can't find any sources for the IBM story, but I thought I read it here on HN. I found at least one similar comment; https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30538784 .

Play another game like god of war or something.

Some would say "games are about fun" first and foremost, not to be interactive stories you press x to advance. If anything, the "theatrical" aspect of gaming for this old man has been one the things that has ruined gaming in general (that and hand holding), but thankfully, there are many games out there that hold the "fun" and "challenging" torch, they just often happen to not be triple A titles.
You are at liberty to buy other products and leave these to those who are happy about the security considerations.
You’re absolutely right, I’m done preordering games. I didn’t do it much anyway, but nowadays it’s just not worth it. The most recent and egregious example that comes to my mind was the latest Battlefield. My goodness was that a turd, and lots of people felt rightfully burned after preordering that game and essentially getting a totally unfinished product.
There’s also very nice people working for Oracle. That doesn’t really reflect on how decisions are taken and what priorities are set at the higher level.

People are quite willing. The entertainment industry is huge, between TV, concerts, theatre productions, etc. However, does that money come down to the artist or the people doing the work? The issue is that this idea also applies to other people areas as well, such as teacher or journalists. These are services that are valuable, but they are not paid well.

> isn't it better that people follow their passions instead of maximizing their individual profit?

That’s a false dichotomy. We should balance our passions with our need to earn, support ourselves and contribute to society. Most people do this by adopting their passion as a hobby.

A society can only support so many professional musicians, artists, historians and the like. There are infinitely more people passionate about these things than society can support. Supply and demand dictates that salaries for such jobs be low.

Finally, it’s a mistake to think that people are studying subjects simply because they are passionate about them - the social science college students I knew all chose it because it was “easy”. Many of these people would have been far better served by learning a vocation - I’m sure they could even find one they’re passionate about if they were actually exposed to them.

because they literally can't. ignoring the $1B budgeted cost, they are also facing massive execution risk. adobe is signaling their confidence in their ability to innovate/execute with the acquisition price - zero confidence.

even in the very unlikely event they were able to build a product with feature parity, with little operational blunder, on budget/on time, they still need to market it and get enough paying users to match the $400 million in revenue per year which Figma currently makes.
>For certain replacement parts I can see this being important, like anything involved in Face ID or Touch ID.

Those are secure elements. The back glass is not a secure element. That's just vendor lock-in malice for the sake of profiteering.

Edit: Since I can reply to your comments below, your argument fails flat because:

1) SW lock-outs also apply to genuine apple parts, not just aftermarket ones

2) If the user's ability to verify the originality of the parts installed in their phone was the real reason, they Apple could just have a prompt for the user that the new part is not genuine instead of completely locking it out.
I was also blown away by the tooling shots. It almost looked like those self-driving tooling shots that get shown every now and then, which I suppose makes sense.

I wish more places would show off their internal tools and how they make things, but I guess they view those things as part of their edge.

Personally i used an internet content filter which also enforced time limits.

the kids had a limited data plan and used the house internet. once it was off they could burn up their data for the month, but that was a choice they made.

as they became older and more mature the rules were lowered. Longer internet times, less content restrictions.

People thought i was weird at the time, but now the kids are adults they said they would do something similar to their kids as it was what they needed, not what they wanted at the time.
(I agree with you, to be clear -- my comment was facetious.)
I don't even have a case on my phone (and never have on any phone in the past) and have never had an incident. I know at least 5 people that have broken their phones more than 4 times per year and they all use cases. Some people just do not treat their electronics like the expensive devices they are.
For the most part, yes.

I usually leave, and if I can't find what I need somewhere else, I may come back and fiddle either with CSS or even enable JS during that session only.

hey! Absolutely, Lost Pixel is designed to be able to test anything which can be opened in a browser window. So any technology and configuration should be quite flexible to be tested as long as the host is publicly accessible from your runner of lost-pixel engine. So in your case if you can run your environment somewhere and point lost-pixel there it should work as expected! Feel free to reach out if you need help - we are happy to chat and assist you! Github discussions or @divdev_ or @chriskalmar on twitter are both good ways to reach us!
Before Unicode, everyone who came up with a character encoding scheme probably thought their system was good enough for any reasonable use-case. But they all had limitations that made them inadequate for things less obscure than representing some dead Mongolian language.

It would be nice if we could come up with some magical system that optimally encodes all the text that "matters" and ignores everything else, but history has shown that to be very hard. So we're left with Unicode, which takes the approach of giving us (effectively) infinite code points to represent characters, with (effectively) infinite ways to visually represent them. That does lead to a bunch of "unnecessary" baggage and headaches, but it also solves a bunch of real problems that you probably don't know exist.

Unicode is a pain in the ass, but it's a solution to a very hard problem. You can feel free to design your own solution, but you'll probably run head-first into all the problems Unicode was trying to solve from 40 years ago.

>Any citations for this extremely novel legal theory?

My point is that human emotions, passion, and endurance to withstand the stress of running a startup -- cannot be mandated by the FTC. That's not a legal theory that requires any cites.

If the founders don't want to mentally "stay in the game" to compete... that means there really isn't competition that we're hoping for. Founders are humans and not robots with a simple "compete" switch that the FTC can just flip on. If you disagree and think the FTC can force founders to do what they really don't want to do, explain how? Blocking this Adobe's transaction doesn't force cofounders to compete. They can still "sell" Figma in many ways besides a straight acquisition. Just more hoops to jump. Exclusive technology licensing to Adobe, or joint ventures, etc. Those would be a legal quasi "acquisition" by another name. The creative ways to structure "strategic business partnerships" are made possible because the founders would rather get some monetary reward instead of continuing to compete with Adobe.

Ok, outside observers like us can all pound the table saying "Figma should stay independent so there's competition for Adobe!" But... if the founders have mentally quit and don't want to compete, now what? See the problem?
One good and healthy way of using technology is to set it aside when it's not necessary and when it risks being an obstacle to accomplishing your goals. For instance, in the "real world", you should not be using your phone while driving a car, or operating a table saw, or in a movie theater, or while having an intimate dinner. "Put it on mute and put it away" is an extremely useful skill. Furthermore, children generally have less developed impulse control than adults. It's easier for them to deal with a single coarse requirement ("no phones") rather than a set of nuanced ones.

Also, to be frank, schools need to take the easy way out sometimes. They have part-time, limited custody of children across the whole spectrum of development. Even if some large subset of kids would take well to a "digital wellbeing" curriculum, they will always also have to deal with the subset of kids who could not care less.
1 trillion over what time frame? Spent how by whom?

You've got a lot of homework to do just narrowing down the possible ways by which any number could be arrived at. Then you can figure out what the number realistically is.

People eat a bunch of sugar too, ask Hershey, Mars, and the bakers of Wonder Bread, the makers of basically all pasta sauces, salad dressings, breakfast cereals, etc. There is a much broader-based consumption of sugar than the drinks, though they may account for a lot of the sugar.

There may be truth to the idea that fluoridation was a giant scam, since "oil companies need subsidies", "ceos need outsize pay" and "the presidential vote was rigged but not senate house or state elections" are current examples. The idea that fluoridation could be better targeted is interesting.
> they performed their duty that day and possibly saved that individual’s life

Let's not neglect you and your son's right not to be harassed in your own yard! A person's life is important, yes, but if their deranged behavior is causing small amounts of harm to a great number of people, at some point it adds up enough to justify forcing them to change their behavior. Let's call it "social pollution", if you will.
Just go to a carrier website, buy an esim, download to the phone, use it, switch it off when you leave, use it next time you come there.

It is literally the same except you don't even need to go to a gas station. My Pixel can hold as many esims as I want standing by until they are needed to be used.

"Over analysis" here means by the opponent: If you chose the optimal move, thousands have done so before, so has your opponent. By doing something non-perfect, you enter territory where your opponent does not already have the tree of possible responses mapped out in their head. This is, at least for me (a chess player), where the actual thinking begins - all before is just memorization, with the opening moves committed directly to muscle memory.
> That's why we should regulate products that are a runaway success to make sure their success doesn't come at the expense of other things around us.

Hmm, my family once replaced our LG 1080p TV's mainboard after the HDMI ports failed, then the TV stopped powering on past the splash screen at all.

You need to re-read your history. European nations suspended the Gold Standard in 1914 due to the buildup related to WWI...but the U.S. did not. And we still had 100% inflation. In fact, the U.S. remained on the Gold Standard until 1933, and being on the gold standard did not prevent the Great Depression or decades of inflation. In fact, it played a large part in making it a "great" depression instead of just a regular downturn, and getting off the gold standard was what ended the Great Depression.

Similarly, everything you've said about the Great Depression is completely wrong. It was caused by a stock market crash known as Black Tuesday, which was the result of rampant speculative trading on margin. After a series of relatively small dips, a number of investors faced margin calls and had to sell their shares. A few of them decided to liquidate all of their stock holdings, triggering a 12.8% drop in the Dow (Black Monday), which led to many more speculators panic-selling the next day (Black Tuesday).

I am not "all mad". The article manifestly did not say; if it had, or I already knew, I would not have needed to ask. If it were a "bad question", we would not still be talking about how it could have been answered informatively. It was, in fact, a very specific question, with zero space for misunderstanding.

But the reply did not offer any information at all, so I asked for clarification.

Downvoting people for asking for clarification (-4 already!) is just spiteful. It would have been less work for everybody to answer the question that was asked, the second time if not the first.
