> isn't something average teenager can afford

The best selling VR headset is cheaper than either a smartphone or a gaming console, though, is it not? You don't really see anyone arguing that teenagers can't afford those. Also, this stuff is usually bought by parents anyway.

I personally think a larger market will probably emerge for AR than for VR due to friction factors, but from what I've read, teenagers are in fact using VR right now.

Mastodon will not be the next Twitter, for many reasons.

It doesn't scale. A influx of some tens of thousands of users already breaks half the fediverse. Absorbing this relatively small growth means an instance owner has to reach deeply into their pocket to pay for extra hardware capacity. And sees their manual moderation workload explode. In between this scaling, the system will simply be dysfunctional or locked down. It all runs on donations and volunteer work.

This is much different from Twitter where as a user you're never confronted with scaling or funding problems. Nor would you easily face the situation that all your content is wiped out because the instance owner retired. Or because a mod doesn't like you. Because moderation is completely arbitrary, Reddit-style. An instance owner may also decide to not federate with specific other servers that you liked, destroying your cross-instance posting and following.

You could scale by making lots of instances, but people need to actually fund and run them. And it makes all of the above issues even worse.

The culture clash is perhaps most interesting to see, as the author correctly lays out. The author uses the word "traumatic" when confronted with an abundance of follow requests.

That sentence succinctly summarizes the typical culture. The fact that it's a request, requiring permission. And a type of extreme fragility that is opposite to Twitter's culture.

Although policies vary between instances, most are designed for safety to the point that conversation becomes dysfunctional. One large instance stated to not post food, insects, and a whole list of highly generic items without a content warning (CW). Because apparently, somebody might be triggered by those. A user questioning this policy was soon circled and explained that it only takes seconds to do, whilst the "trauma" lasts for days.

Extreme safety leading to unsafety in expressing the simplest of sentences. It's a clash of two extremes. Extreme toxicity and extreme fragility.

The other limiting factor is the rejection of America's culture war. Don't be political or overly political, and especially not regarding the topics dominating US politics. Here the mismatch cannot be larger. Twitter basically IS the US culture war as of 2016 when Trumpism brought Twitter back from a coma. Twitter users have been exposed to this extreme polarization for 6 years, they've internalized and normalized it. And now they're asked to shut up about it and to not cause any stirs.

The result, a perfectly happy and peaceful place is disturbingly unsatisfactory, I care to admit. Nothing happens. There's no enemy to bash, no drama, nothing to be outraged about. It's like watching the news where the reporter says: all is good today, carry on. Or watching a movie where nothing happens to any character.

How many online "friendships" and communities survive without a common enemy? And if it survives, why use Mastodon, when you might as well open a Reddit community or Discord server?
I can sympathize with feeling like a moderator of a popular subreddit is suppressing debate/dissent. It is infuriating, especially when conflict of interest is suspected.

What exactly is the rationale for this push for marriage? If both men and women have the same working opportunities?

Wasn't the point of marriage because women weren't supposed to work? And now they are, so what exactly is the point? "Taxes" or something?

Just look at the title of the article, it's implying that no marriage is associated with being "aimless", as if the meaning of life is marriage -> kids -> more cannon fodder and tax base. No higher purpose. Just more baby making

The entire attitude here (which is especially prevalent in US media) seems highly reactionary in tone. If (wo)men don't want marriage, then more power to them. Life is finite

There's not really much we can do about this. Artificial price ceilings were tried in Venezuela and it only contributed significantly to their massive food shortages they experienced.

Most notably it resulted in a big reduction in the variety of food available because while some of the biggest companies could survive with the new lower prices (and work with the gov directly to set those prices) the bulk of small/medium sized ones couldn't, often as other expenses eventually increased while prices didn't.
Making an incremental single change is great advice especially if wrapped in a single Pull Request (or commit).

Benefits:
A) Easier for your colleagues to review and understand your change
B) You can undo your change easily without affect other changes

Now, if you do 2 changes per PR, A and B become a lot more complicated and just take more time.
Airplanes are such a bizarre space.

I’ve seen many people break rules or even the law just because they wanted to (failure to wear mask, trying to get their kid to sit in an exit aisle, drinking, drinking in the exit aisle). Some of the rules change flight to flight. Either people’s behavior changes in these spaces, or I should lower my expectations. Probably the latter.

> That's not the student loan cancellation program.

It’s directly related to the student loan cancellation program as it’s intended to maximize the amount of cancellation for people who paid during the moratorium.

It’s not overpayment. It’s just payment because it’s money those people owed on their loans. A payment pause doesn’t mean the money is not owed, it’s simply delayed.

> Women should in fact continue to push for their autonomy and freedom, and a functioning society should be keeping these men in check rather than yielding to them in any capacity.

Which works great until there are so many of these "excess" men that you can't keep them "in check". They are allowed to vote too, after all.
I'm sure a bit of machine learning and blockchain could have saved them from the gaffe. Or, you know, know what you do.
Yes, that is true, but even that argument does not imply that "women should be forced to marry men they don't like." To make that jump is to make a straw man of the argument. Whether or not that is factually true about polygamous society, I have no idea (EDIT: looks like it is, according to the other comments). I'm saying only that "being against legal polygamy" does not mean "being for forced marriages."
Yeah I know it's true not questioning the fact... but is it women's job to solve it by marrying people they won't want to marry? Why should they do that to solve society's problems?
The headline is wrong. "Men" are not delaying (their own) marriage. Pre-arranged marriage is still a thing. It is usually not a decision of the individuals, but parents take care.

Like all parents, everyone wants the best for their children, even adult children. The caste system is still a relevant factor. Social level determines who can marry whom. A good job opens up better marriage options. A university degree (even if just on paper) helps, too. So parents are delaying the marriage deals.
These are frameworks’ properties, not the respective languages’

> 24x avg. daily withdraws

Something something about sudden black swans and fat tail events.

It doesn't even have to be about FTX either, can be anything, if Musk takes more drugs than usual and tweets something like: "Lost all my faith in Crypto, now is mortal enemy!" you'd go way above 24x the withdrawls happening in an avg. day.

This is pure greed. From everybody involved, and I mean the users too! How greedy you have to be that you cannot take 4 days to send/receive an international wire. Nobody trades 24/7/365, when you are done trading just take 4 days to extract the money from exchanges , let it reach you bank and park it in cash or Treasuries. Now the option became availible to also earn interest from your bank. First time in 10+ years.

If you don't do it then these people are gonna do it and put your money to work for them (not for you) and you'd never know about it unless something like this black swan happen.

> Like games, wasd is movement, so every other game copied that. If you try to change, people are going to be mighty confused why the controls aren't "normal".

Sometimes though it is for the better. A lot of games in the 80s, especially on ZX Spectrum, etc, used QAOP for movement (QA vertical, OP horizontal) for some reason.

Of course the best is to have these configurable - both the Speccy games of yesteryear and modern games allow you to change the controls to your liking, so people who for some reason still prefer QAOP (is anyone still out there, i wonder) can still use that scheme in modern games.

I am trying to to think of a single rebrand / new logo / new icon that I actually liked at the time—that didn't seem to signal a degradation in the integrity, quality or trustworthiness of the entity represented.

(There are some cases where the new brand has grown on me, to the point that I have come to prefer it to the old one. The most recent examples I can think of are the 1999 rebrand of Northern Electric as Nortel Networks—I do still love that globemark!—and the 2015 sans-serif Google logo which has become so ubiquitous as to make the previous serif version look weirdly quaint. But I liked neither of those at the time they were unveiled.)

Am I just a stick in the mud? Can you point out some rebrands that have been so wildly popular that I might begrudgingly admit that I actually liked them?
So many things are biased in favor of tall people, I have no problem with them having to pay more for a larger seat rather than externalizing those costs onto everyone else.
You mean you think that's the main reason for any given logo change, or one of many possible reasons?

While not outside of the realm of possibility, it's actually rare to see that kind of thought process play out in practice of working with businesses & NPOs on their logos.

Much more common is that there is a base of support for change from above, outside, and below.

Maybe related to the fact that "I changed our logo to suit myself" isn't broadly seen as a masterstroke in objective leadership practice.

Given many societies either force women into different lives than men (e.g. Afghanistan) or have cultures that lead to, on average, different lives (most of the world that still has at least some bias towards women being the child carers, house runners, etc. even parts that have/are moved/ing away from that being a default expectation), "how many of each gender are visible as I walk around a country" is a really bad way to judge. And plenty of other potential cultural gender differences, for example in many countries men may feel less afraid of being out alone especially at night.

Hell, even IF looking at the streets were a good way to judge, you'd still have to look at an awful lot of a lot of them before you could make statements about a whole country the size of India, and you'd need to avoid any personal cognitive biases (like confirmation bias), and...
