You make a good point. I guess it feels that the manga-to-anime pipeline feels more about straight adaptation, while the comic-to-MCU pipeline is much more about picking over a buffet of characters, beats, "things you know", etc to create "an MCU movie."

I find that this didn't exactly drive people backwards to appreciating or supporting the comics more.

I'm more of a manga reader than an anime watcher, and I can still find enjoyment in reading manga pre-adaptation and then choose not to watch the anime; I guess the same thing can be said about comics ("and then choosing to not watch the movie"), but it somehow feels more authentic, as if they can co-exist separately with the same amount of care from the rights holders?

Perhaps I'm confusing the feeling of authenticity with the idea of there just being so much history for something like Spider-Man, that you're going to have to condense or adapt or like, merge different things into one movie.

I don't know for sure; I still think that the work-for-hire nature of Marvel/DC really leads to a cynicism on my part. You've still got stuff coming out from Image and Dark Horse and the indies that you can "read comics for the comics", but something just feels off.

It's probably a bit of idealizing Japan for being Japan, but I never get the feeling of "if you don't watch the MCU, we don't care about you" like I do with Marvel Comics. If an MCU concept does well enough on film, they're going to backport it back into the comics regardless, so why should I invest in the comics when they're going to be manipulated by something I don't enjoy?

You know, your comment made me rethink a few things.

I don't know if they have the wrong end of the stick. I'm afraid they might, because based on their presentations so far the Metaverse bit seems more tacked on than intrinsic. However, these are credentialed people well known in the field - it's hard to tell how much is exuberance re: Metaverse usage.

Regarding my comment on AI, I think it's relevant. It's not that AI will "solve all our problems", but that AI-aided design and code implementation will make learning a language like this obsolete. Transpilation will be seamless and backgroundy. So now there's a cost/benefit factor to learning a new language that was used to write a distributed execution layer for the Metaverse in a transaction-first manner, versus using tools that just "do it for us" and interact with the "product" created with Verse.

As far as Fortnite having a dominant market position once they do stuff with it, I'm not sure of that. I mean, StateScript being awesome doesn't make a dominant market position for it because of its use in Overwatch. I recognize the fundamental difference because the latter is closed and proprietary, sure, but I'm just not sure about the level of separation between Language and Product here when they're talking about the Metaverse. I look forward to learning more.
That’s funny. Because when the iPhone launched Apple offered just that: their own native apps and the rest had to contend with web based apps and a api to access phone specific features and UI elements. Only much later they announced the App Store and I doubt they will let it go now. In favor of non native web interfaces.
> Most Houses need to last 30 or 50 years

Why? It seems absurd to me to only have a dwelling last for half a lifetime. This view seems to assume a disposable, consumerist logic, which seems at odds in my view both from reasonable use of energy and time and with a sustainable civilization.
Perhaps I used the wrong term. I really meant for those who are more operationally focused than development. IE you don't need to write code to get a nice Drupal website. I think it's always been the case that if you wanted to get it up in the first place, you needed to know a bit about MySQL, Apache config, and potentially PHP config. Again I haven't touched Drupal in a long time, but sounds like some of those were replaced with newer technologies like Docker, which are still more operationally focused.

I am not sure what are you confused about: who are Marxists who read Marx's works? It's literally the definition. Or what works are by Marx? He is not Banksy, is he? Attribution of his works is well established.
Total BS. We've known if for forever and the reason "people simply aren't losing" is because they aren't doing a good job of counting. Go ask a fighter, wrestler, runner, or bodybuilder how they manage body weight. They don't do it by tossing a coin into the wishing well, I can tell you that.
Apple's review process and their rules about the kind of apps and code that are allowed to run? Heck, do they even allow GPLv2 and GPLv3 apps on the app store?
>But cities normally already have public transportation.

Public transportation is slow, especially if you are living in the outer parts of a city using a car can easily cut commutes in half.
Those cars clearly are for cities, but if you think public transport comes even close for convenience, speed, hygiene, you are not using public transportation.
This sort of program is basically the only thing that would make me whistleblow. Why we don't have it in the UK I do not know.
Yes! Also, why do they feel the need to do the "a/k/a SBF" after every mention of the guy's name? Say it the first time then just call him SBF thereafter. I think Typewriter Guy must be paid by the character. Another petty thing: I've never seek "a/k/a" with slashes like that before -- "aka" is sanctioned by Merriam-Webster, and "a.k.a." is also acceptable for constipated purists and The New Yorker.
As a counterpoint to your sample. My phone was built in China and works. My last phone was built in China, and works. My laptop was built in China, and works. In fact quite a lot of the stuff I buy comes from China and it mostly works.
I don't think that YouTube cites any sources that show there's scenarios where metabolism is significantly different for net weight and other health outcomes, when it comes to low fat vs low carbohydrate diets. There might be some genetic disorders causing some pathway to be inhibited, but on average, if we want to give generic advice for every individual, I think it's best to say to reduce calories and choose the appropriate method that satisfies your lifestyle and allows you to adhere to the diet, to improve your health.

I don't think it's sustainable to do a keto diet if you live and partake in society. You might encounter many scenarios where food options are carb heavy, and in this case, keto is not an option whereas caloric restriction is.
I was curious what the added price on a $400 console would be if Sony couldn't guarantee a cut of game revenue, so here's some napkin math.

Avg 9.6 games sold per console [1] * $70 game * 30% take rate [2] =~ $200 additional.

Current pricing: $400 + $70/game
Restructured pricing: $600 + $49/game

So it's more costs upfront, but not insanely more expensive. It would certainly change marketing and incentives though, if Sony made more money by selling consoles than continuing to extend the lifecycle of the current generation.

> Nobody is stopping you from escaping the walled garden;

Apple does. I buy a Macbook, and I can modify the bootloader to completely leave MacOS. It's a pain in the ass, and Apple certainly doesn't make it easy as it was on x86, but it's an option. Even if I use MacOS, I still have the option to disable system integrity, install unsigned apps and use third-party software managers.

That's a system that lets me escape the walled garden. They give me concessions inside their OS and an escape-hatch for third-party OSes if they really fuck things up. The iPhone has none of those things. If you buy an iPhone, your only way to leave the walled garden is to not use the iPhone. Buying an Android phone does not break your iPhone out of the walled garden.
This seems far more credible than the "This means fusion in ten years!" hot takes, which are - frankly - completely implausible, whether they're coming from physicists or journalists.

Weapons research might be a motivator too.

I would be astounded if this can be commercialised. Not because I'm cynical for the sake of it, but because I cannot in good faith see a credible engineering path which might make that possible without spectacular breakthroughs in a number of disciplines.

MCF seems more likely to get somewhere. But my best guess is that advances in renewables will have made fusion redundant within ten years. There is far more scope for incremental and affordable improvements in collection, distribution, and storage than there is for the Big Science breakthroughs required to build one commercially viable ICF plant.
This doesn't happen on Android. Why would it happen in iOS?

Discoverability and the ease of access that the playstore/appstore provides is enough to pretty much always want to have your app up there.

The main difference is that there are a lot of apps that are simply not allowed in the appstore or that you need to change substantially to comply with apple's rules. For example, Telegram has censored content if you download the app from the appstore given Apple's pornography laws. Other apps that might be used to infringe on copyright are outright not allowed (they're also not allowed on the playstore, but you can install them from the apk or a third party store).

Now, maybe you think these restrictions are appropriate and that's fine... for you. Other people might want the freedom of doing more with their devices that they paid hundreds and hundreds of dollars for without having to resort to extreme measures. The argument Apple uses is bullshit and the EU saw through it.
Could it be that European houses are much smaller? America usually favors size over quality.
> It doesn't actually prove or disprove the issue (and its severity itself).

It does when you consider that the very people who are promoting that severity are doing what I linked above behind the scenes and their own behavior hasn't changed at all (e.g., all of them flying private jets to Egypt for COP, having multiple pieces of real estate, etc).

The harsh truth is that the very people who are responsible for telling people to panic are, in fact, not panicked at all and are using fear as a smokescreen to take absolute control over the entire world (zero hyperbole in that statement). It's classic sleight of hand, just on a global scale.

Because many people in the West lack any spiritual grounding, they've latched on to climate change (think about the term alone; of course the climate changes—it always has) as a pseudo-religion and defend it to absolutely irrational ends. This is why anyone who even remotely questons it gets labeled as a heretic ("climate change denier"). You may as well be saying "you're denying my god" which explains the often-hysterical backlash you get.
And there's the much more important case. What if someone gets your keys? With bank fraud you will most likely get the money back. With crypto, not a chance.

Er, what?

I’ve been coding since I was 5 or so (C64); my first desktop computer was a Performa 5200, where I had to spend pocket money on Metrowerks CodeWarrior Student Edition (68k only, no PPC, the pro version was way beyond my 15 year old self’s budget) and get the official Apple books out of the library in order to learn C.

ResEdit was magnificent, for the era, and given away on magazine cover CDs. Then Apple switched to OS X, and Xcode became cheap, then free. The 30% that everyone’s been moaning about for the last 5 years was, when it was first announced, a fantastic improvement. ObjC and Swift may have felt like Apple reinventing the wheel when they could’ve just used C++, but C++ is still an option for developers, and one I’ve used in an iOS project at a previous employer.

How exactly is Apple supposed to be developer-unfriendly?
Thanks, but there's clearly more to it than that. They reference the full Flickr corpus in a number of places on the foundation's site and blog. e.g.:

>Flickr has grown into one of the biggest photo collections on Earth. It contains tens of billions of images from people all over the world, and keeps growing every day.
That’s why we’ve created the Flickr Foundation—an independent, community-focused organization. We’re committed to stewarding this cultural treasure for future generations, and fostering a visual commons we can all enjoy. [1]

And

>Today, the Flickr holds “tens of billions of images” documenting our planet from the first days of photography to just a moment ago. What if—should the ship go down—we had an archival copy of your Flickr presence ready? Simply admitting this might happen and preparing for it is a form of preservation. We call it a data lifeboat.

You have probably been affected by web services that go dark or disappear, often with little or no warning. We think that’s not good enough, especially for an archive as precious as Flickr (and your photos), so we want to design a better way.

It’s all at risk—though not in imminent danger—and that’s why the foundation has been set up. SmugMug has acknowledged the risk and set us the task of imagining and determining how to make sure this huge piece of human history doesn’t sink.

We will work initially with the smaller and openly-licensed subset of imagery held within the Flickr Commons. Using this collection as our baseline, we will explore the edges of what’s required to create a data lifeboat that’s transportable, buoyant, and robust.[2]

Just want to clarify, in case someone reads this and thinks "like in the movies, where after the apocalypse it's barren and radioactive and very hot or cold and you can't survive outside unless you're wearing a suit". That's not what it's like on Venus.

The atmosphere is made mostly of CO2. At the surface, it has a pressure of 93 times that of Earth, and temperature of 464 °C / 867 °F. This is sufficiently hot and pressurized that the atmosphere is neither a gas nor a liquid, it's a supercritical fluid. Wikipedia says that we use supercritical CO2 industrially because of how good it is at dissolving things.

The record survival time for a stationary probe on the surface of Venus is 127 minutes.

Generally speaking, I think of processed foods as anything padded with sugar, salt and/or fat. Food which comes from a factory, not a farm. Processed foods are digested quickly which has issues. They have a high caloric density with low nutrients due to the sugar,salt+fat.

Think candy, chips, soda, bread, cured meats and things in bags. Low in nutrition, high in calories.
Unless the prices go down! You never know.

But if you see some promotional pricing on renewals or transfers, remember that you can add a few years anytime and not just on your registration anniversary. And when you transfer a domain, most of the cases it extends by a year too (although for some very rare ccTLDs that might not be the case I think).
"most of that platinum could later be recovered from the reactor wall, so it still wouldn't be very expensive. "

And recovering comes for free?

Every step costs energy (or money).

There is no working design yet. It is waay too early to make any predictions about how scaling could reduce costs. Scaling can even increase costs, if it depletes limited resources like tritium.

I do “useless” use of cat quite often because, in my brain, the pipeline naturally starts with “given this file”, so it makes the pipeline more consistent e.g. `cat f | a | b | c` rather than `a < f | b | c` where one must start with the first “function” rather than with the data. I see starting with `cat` analogous to the `->` thread macro in Clojure, `|>` pipe in Elixir, and `&` reverse application operator in Haskell. If bash permitted putting the filename first, I’d stop using `cat`; alas, it does not.

Since you asked: We don't build fission plants because they cost more than every other energy source. Fusion plants, if they could ever be made to work at all, would cost a lot more. So, there won't be any.
One misses the point if one assumes that this is about which technology is most appropriate for de-carbonizing the world in the near future -- it is clear that the LCoE of wind and solar are phenomenal, and will continue to ramp up with the exponential curve of adoption. Solar and wind, AND storage, will get there first by a long shot. For that, I am grateful. Yay for learning curves.

But I don't accept your premise of an exclusive or. We can walk and chew gum at the same time. The economics of fusion will not be what we need as a game changer for this generation, but learning curves and technological progress are like contributing to your 401k when you're in your 20s, and they will apply to fusion just like they did for solar. And by next generation, it would be lovely to have a gamut of technologies to choose from for different use-cases (powering spaceflight, for example).

The world is enriched by scientific and engineering progress, and just because I like Messi doesn't mean I think Ronaldo is shit. I think there is a tendency in these fusion discussions to put up a strawman and to assume that any excitement about fusion detracts from the practical tools that we can apply today. I can only assume that this tendency comes from the green-washing energy companies have engaged in (e.g. "green hydrogen" from natural gas). I understand this cynicism, because it has been earned. However cynicism can prevent us from being happy for real accomplishments -- and yes, the Q>1 is as arbitrary as celebrating the year 2000, but it IS an accomplishment.
My question is: do the people who obviously could speak to it (the legal team) have any client control at the moment?
Yeah, anarchy is a fundamentally impossible state. People naturally form groups because it increaes their chance of survival, every group of humans has rules, they cede power to leaders who solve their problems for them, people who don't like it will leave and join another group or become lone wolves.

The problem with governments is they dominate the entire earth. They force their social contract on us and we're forced to accept it just because we happened to be born somewhere. We can't just reject their power and rules: leaving is expensive, difficult or impossible and the only thing we can do is escape to another imperfect government.

I'm not trying to play the whatabout card, I'm trying to understand how we would legally articulate what TikTok has done to justify banning by congressional decree. The senate bill [1] doesn't appear to have any measurements or values or clarifications, it's just a few paltry pages that never specify what line TikTok crossed. The only argument I'm hearing is China=Bad.

And who knows, maybe China is nefariously manipulating the TikTok algorithm, but for the US government to step in and say "these ideas are too dangerous, you can not access them," seems like the cure is as bad as the disease. It's using blatant authoritarianism to try to stop the spread of potential authoritarianism.
