IIRC Nintendo and GF own parts of Pokemon company, Nintendo doesn't control GF directly.

> The only explanation I can think of is the sheer number of models in a pokemon game may be much higher than those games, but I am not sure.

They remade models in 3D for 3DS games, at the SwSh release people compared them to the 3DS ones and they turned out to be essentially same. So they already put the effort to migrate models to 3D

The explanation is "people will buy anyway". The game would realistically need another 6 months to get to the "good" state and they couldn't miss the holiday season.

Model like CoD with multiple teams working in parallel on subsequent games would probably work better but... Pokemon fans will buy it anyway so why bother ? From company's management view it's a golden goose.

They also tried to make non-pokemon game and it was pretty much a flop so really it is a mediocre developer that have license to print poke-money
Occupy was largely a Leftist movement. And while the Tea Party was created then by Ron Paul, the political machinery that swept into Federal government seats was only after Obama won in 2008. The Tea Party as an entity is completely different between the pre-Obama and post-Obama eras.

They tend to avoid people from a visibility standpoint and thrive in denser areas. Outside of big old cities you typically find them around restaurants and shopping areas.

These places spend alot to control them. Google for “rat bait station”. You’ve seen those at any Walmart, grocery store or in the shrubbery on the side of retail buildings.
Yeah, this is correct. Anything else is missing the forrest from the trees. Even if you turn up in person and show your docs, if they use your details for background/credit checks then from that point on you're putting trust in their responsibilities to you as a custodian of their data.
Not just applications. Entire programming languages like Rust depend on this to install the compiler (rustup, since rustc changes too fast for anything but the most rolling of distros to keep up).
Okay, that makes sense. I think it matters some still because if someone else has nuts, then they automatically know you are bluffing, and the more players still in the pot the more likely one of them has nuts.

Pondering about trying out Zettelkasten, I'm thinking whether it would make sense to take notes in a sequential log ... like one file per day/week/month/year ... and then regularly, like daily or weekly sort things in to the zettelkasten structure.

Anybody tried that?

AFAIK, this is how many data(base)-systems do to make writing more efficient: Write down into a write-cache of some sort, and then do batch-wise indexing as a separate process.

Thoughts?
Here's a podcast with Rep. Katie Porter where she dives pretty deep on this issue. I'm not sure how much of this is businesses trying to get ahead of inflation and how much of it is pure profit-taking.

I am waiting for an inverse model that will take a lengthy article (or a book) and "dehydrate" it giving me the underlying message.

A lot of articles these days is someone's twit build up with boilerplate - either written up by an intern or (AI ??).

Books are not much better - typical 300p book has a handful of thoughts the author wanted to tell me but to get it published it was required to match the target 300 pages so full author's bio was included.

Or, you know, because the "legacy media" had an order to shit on tech and not report neutrally: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33473275 (except SBF, of course, they were allowed to praise him)

It's an entitlement program because what you're entitled to it independently of what you put in. There's no isolation. You don't suddenly get cut off when "your" contribution has been exhausted. You keep drawing from the pool, indefinitely, and in fact this is the common case because official estimates of what people need for retirement (both cost per year and longevity) consistently lag behind reality. The pool "just happens" to be replenished mostly from still-working folks' contributions, but it's still a pool and not individual accounts.

Before anyone else "well actually"s me, as a retiree myself I'm well aware that there is some relationship between what you put in and what you get out. That doesn't change the system's essential nature. It's more of an anti-abuse and anti-depletion measure, similar to raising the retirement age or adding means tests. There's still a big common pool in the middle, and people can still keep drawing from that pool even if they live well beyond the point where their net contribution is negative.

> The catch here is that people are not aware that their content is frequently shadow moderated

Is that really the catch? Reddit didn't get to where they are today by saying "we totally allow free speech". Since its inception, it's been a trope that Reddit actively moderates away actively harmful content, and even constructive-but-contrarian content to the point where every small subreddit community is a circlejerk/echo chamber for its own ideals. Anyone that just downloads the app might not know it at first, but if they actually dive into creating an account and joining subreddit communities, they'll learn soon enough since moderators try not to make their own community mad by silencing all criticism of themselves (when they do, it tends to be exposed pretty quickly), and any huge shifts in policy tend to sprout divergent communities, like how r/superstonk was created out of a wallstreetbets moderation issue.

I think people understand that, especially when they're using an iPhone[0,1], everything they see is going to be filtered, with the exception of legal porn on social media apps. It's just the way that anything and everything gains enough traction to become relevant among the masses, and they'll know if they're on a "true free speech" platform as soon as the platform shows then pro-nazi images right next to pictures of puppies with 0 algorithmic filtering or sorting.

Wifi and Bluetooth... Yeah. It's not good on DSLRs either. My Pentax K1 has WiFi option, and, otherwise being an excellent camera in terms of imaging quality, build, ergonomics, good UI, it has somehow unreliable and cumbersome wifi - hard to set up and the mobile app is average at best. As if different people designed the wifi subsystem.

And interestingly my Tascam 44dw (not a camera, but sound recorder) has also abysmal wifi. Low range, unreliable and seems to be using single TCP connection for sending realtime data which suffers from head-of-line blocking. As if noone there heard about UDP.

Why is wifi such a problem? Weird.

Sure it's grand.

I'm a green voter in Offaly, incidentally, and I ride my bike to the train (_some_ public transport exists out here!) and find a lot of people expect the greens to just give them free Teslas or something.

The officer not liking the greens on a personal level is fine. Telling someone not to vote for them, though, is appallingly unprofessional.

We chatted with the gardai because the neighbours (the ones with the multiple mobile homes who, for that matter, built their whole house without planning, but it's OK because all 17 of them will come and scream at any council worker who talks to them) left a dead crow in a bag by our house and one of them couldn't get why we might be freaked out by this.
Plummeting sperm counts is a worldwide trend.

On the other hand, people in more industrial countries are exposed to different chemicals (BPA, FPOAs, flame retardants, food additives, etc.), than people in more agrarian countries (field chemicals, like fertilizers and pesticides). These chemicals are all harmful, but it's hard to blame a single class of them for a global problem.

If I had to pick a truly universal issue, I would say childhood and young adult obesity. Surprisingly, obesity is growing rapidly even in countries where hunger is also a problem.

Honestly, I thought there was more glory AND autonomy in academia than in "industry." I came from a family that valued education and learning and monastic-like traditions over things like money or productivity. With the way my blinders had been fashioned, it simply didn't occur to me until later in my life that doing "problem solving for hire" was a viable life-path, and that software as a pursuit in and of itself offered me everything academia offered me and more.

If the point is to get to the site faster, why is the TLD "idk"? Couldn't it be 1 letter or at least the same three letters?

The "Network transfer speed / cost." issue was worse than this make it seem.

An extra byte in the instruction meant that the instruction took an extra cycle to complete.

They left due to a rise in crime and other low trust behaviors exhibited post desegregation.

That trend persists today - look at crime rates by race especially the white on black vs black on white crime rate. Controlling per capita shows an enormous disparity. And that’s just the extreme end of low trust behaviors and certainly indicating a litany of other reasons one would want to move away. It only takes 1 instance of being a victim to realize it’s not worth the risk.
Freight railroads are highly regulated in the same sense that police departments are highly regulated. There are lots of rules that apply, but they generally decided to make (or accept) those rules themselves. And the entrenched players make it almost entirely impossible for outside forces to enact change on the system as a whole.

Your comment is accurate, I just want to put this here as an analogy to help people in case they read your comment as a defense of PSR or the rail industry as a whole.

Sony shooter here (A7S2, A6300)...

> Their Wi-Fi and Bluetooth mostly doesn't work.

YES YES YES. And they don't support such basic use cases as "open an access point and let the connected device do the work of selecting pictures" - no, you have to select the photos on the camera and then call them down from the mobile app. Super "great" when you're in the field that I am and document rallies etc. so you need to get a photo up to social media as fast as possible.

> They don't have resolution good enough to check if the photos came out sharp.

Yeah, same for lighting, another annoyance from hell. Personally, for shots in complicated conditions I've grabbed an used Blackmagic VideoAssist 4K... works way better.

> I'm not a pro photographer, so I can't justify spending time manually tweaking every RAW file when smartphones do it well 99% of the time.

Problem with smartphones, even modern ones, is the quality goes down dramatically in low-light scenarios. That's simple physics, the pixels are like 100x smaller. AI can cover for a lot of that, but it's noticeable enough to not make it worth my while - and for what it's worth, there are no Android tablets on the market with a halfway decent camera.

Sony's hardware is the best in class, there is no match at all for the A7S series from anyone in low-light, but the sorry state of their software is laughable. And the best of it is: it's all Linux under the hood. The older A7/A6000 series actually exposed parts of it via an Android subsystem layer where one could write apps for it after jailbreaking - too bad that the Android layer was/is fossilized (IIRC, Android 4-ish?!) and so they ripped it out after the A7S3 :/
The service Ticketmaster provides is largely to have people get angry at Ticketmaster, rather than at the musician involved. And there is simply no way to let 5 million Swift fans each buy one of a million tickets while keeping the tickets cheap. It is a recipe for disaster.

People claim it is “evil scalpers”, but if you got lucky and bought a $400 ticket you can flip for $3000, they probably would be doing so as well.

A lot of the Ticketmaster “fees” people hate are actually part of the ticket price, requested by and paid directly to the artist (or the venue), but charged separately to make the tickets seem cheaper. Don’t blame me, blame human psychology.
> This is how many (most) jobs work.

US jobs, really. The concept of sick days / requiring taking time off from some pool always struck me as a) horribly abusive, b) ripe for employee abuse (sick days when not sick), c) bad for everyone (workers work when sick).

I grew up in Switzerland which doesn't have those. And (to prevent abuse...) you are required to have a doctor's note when sick for more than 3 days. Of course, a bunch of commenters find this kind of requirement abusive... (There is no system that pleases everyone?)
I am so conflicted about my Fuji x100f. I love the thing, but I rarely use it. I'm usually very quick to get rid of things. With the recent popularity of Fuji cameras, I think I should sell it. But then I pick it up and it's pure joy to hold and use.

A real camera has better ergonomics, great for vacations as you don't have to worry about your phone's battery life. Very good low light performance.
> I believe the BBC has enough budget to not have to produce a straight-up infomercial.

Such a surface level explanation. The real answer of course is politics. The railroads know the government won't let them shut down for even one day, so there's no reason for them to negotiate in good faith. So they negotiate in bad faith. Why would they give into labor demands when labor can't strike and their customers being big businesses won't substitute away in the face of political controversy?

Every large company would rather make more money than spend more on labor. Railroads are in the unique position of having the government break their workers strikes.
People tricking ChatGPT “like watching an Asimov novel come to life”
So they want either:

- "fully qualified names" ... to some arbitrary obvious-after-the-fact degree, because fully FULL qualification becomes one of the heavyweight barriers he doesn't like: a central name validator/registry, reduced ability to reuse data because of the funny wrapping/name

- universal data typing, but that doesn't exist, and would be a barrier if it was

- universal data formats: oh god, that means standards bodies, doesn't it.

I totally agree about the make services interact --> they interact, but there's security holes --> impose security loop.
Harassing transgender people and defaming them the way that Peterson did Eliot Page is not simply saying "men are not women." What he actually said was that the surgery that he had, to reduce his breast size in the same way a cis man who had gynecomastia would, was criminal.

Here's a right leaning site with screenshots of the tweet if that makes you feel better: https://nypost.com/2022/06/30/twitter-suspends-jordan-peters...

Matt Walsh trolls transgender people and enjoys making their lives miserable because he believes their existence is a threat to his personal code of morality. He also wishes to ban transgender people, even adults, from receiving any sort of care beyond conversion therapy which is considered abusive and banned in many countries.

https://www.mediamatters.org/matt-walsh/daily-wires-matt-wal...

None of them are simply saying "men are not women."

It's like the difference between saying you think homosexuals are deviants who should burn in hell and saying "marriage is between a man and a woman." In both cases you're trying to be a jerk, but in the former you're being a lot more aggressive about it. There's a reason why even most homophobes don't like the Westboro Baptist Church. Only the biggest jerks support openly harassing and trolling people because of things that they can't control. Even if you think being gay or trans is a mental illness, a mental illness is still something you can't control. Trolling people is obviously not an attempt to help them. It's an attempt to make them suffer because you hate them.
> Do you know by any chance what would be the magnitude of costs for licensed databases that would cover the majority of businesses/venues/places in the world (excluding non-touristic countries/cities, e.g N. Korea, Afghanistan, etc.)?

Licensed databases are going to be 'call for price', but you might see if you can get free/low cost feeds from companies that want to sell something: food ordering apps might let you have a list of restaurants if you link the restaurant to their app; you might be able to get a hotel feed from an OTA like Expedia, etc. Maybe Yelp has a feed??

Otherwise, you've got to find data sources and figure out how much they want, or talk to your legal team and build crawlers. I used to work at Yahoo! Travel, and we had a lot of data sources, I can't remember all of them, and was never involved in pricing discussions, but I think we tended to include attribution, if you dig into the internet archive. The base hotel feed came from Sabre, restaurants came from multiple sources (and Y!Local which had its own sources), points of interest and city information came from guide book providers like Fodors and Lonely Planet, and I think a couple others. Ski conditions came from OnTheSnow (which was a pleasure to work with).

The part you glossed over totally (or just didn't consider) is the ASSUMPTION that the guy robbing or assaulting you or your family will honor the CONTRACT that you imagined he agreed to, that being to just take your stuff and leave you all unharmed.

Many perps aren't completely stupid. They realize you'll call cops if they missed your phone. You'll cancel credit cards immediately. An APB will be issued for your vehicle. You can IDENTIFY them. Everything they took may be rendered useless in minutes.

So instead, they may shoot you, or take your daughter hostage, or ignore your cries that the baby is in the child seat in back.

If you give them complete power maybe they take you to three ATMs, then force you and your family back into your home, and terrorize you, doing or threatening unspeakable things.
