I have troubles playing games with younger siblings. My brain never fully adjusted to ultrafast post ps3 games. Something about analog 3d aiming that is just not natural enough for my neurons, while they got fed on it and it's a second skin to them.

> WAY cheaper than games used to be, when you look at inflation.

I recall $60 NES games in Toys R Us and a quick google shows that to be correct (for the top tier games). That's $130 these days!

And re: cars, they are so much more reliable and safe than previous decades.
If I can figure it out in a couple of minutes, everyone else would figure it out too.

By the way, here's the response to "can you write in the style of Charles Bukowski?" (the first prompt in the session):

> Sure! Here's a little something I came up with:
"I woke up this morning with a hangover and a broken heart. The bottle was empty, just like my bank account. Love had come and gone, leaving nothing but pain and regret in its wake. I stumbled out of bed and into the shower, hoping the water would wash away the memories of her. But as I stood there, staring at the peeling paint and the mildew on the walls, I knew that the only thing that would cure me was time and more whisky. So I dressed myself in my finest rags and headed out into the city, searching for the next fix, the next distraction, the next moment of fleeting pleasure that would take me away from the pain. Because in the end, that's all we really have: the present moment and the hope that tomorrow will be better, or at least no worse than today."

Crashes, connectivity issues, and desyncing are as old as PC computer gaming, and they were all much worse in the past.
I avoided any and all classes that required writing papers and essays. I was able to satisfy the university liberal arts requirement by taking foreign language and accounting.

I have no regrets about that.

I wanted to learn math, science, and engineering. I didn't want a degree, I wanted to learn the stuff. What was the point of cheating? I've derived a lifetime of pleasure from knowing that stuff.

I don't understand wanting a liberal arts degree and then cheating to get it.
It's not that simple, though. Even if we can't eliminate them, we can do a lot to minimize the risks involved in fun, dangerous activities.

Look at people like Ayrton Senna. Died doing what he loved, but he didn't have to, and the changes that his death inspired made F1 racing much safer without sacrificing the hair-raising speed. He also probably would have lived if the sport's governing body had learned from a prior serious crash on the ultimately fatal corner.

Personally, I still feel bad about deaths like that.

I'm just pointing out that you presented a false dichotomy. Just because it isn't proven science does not make it a religious belief.

Assuming the worst case of needing 3 months a year that would be 20.97 a year. Buying the home edition used to be $150. Office 365 will be cheaper until after 7 years and by then a new version of office would have been released.
Definitely, I've read many accounts of the same scam over the last 5 years, and AirBNB has done nothing.

First thought on reading that the "host" offered another place. I've read about this scam numerous times, and you are absolutely correct to refuse it, as the likely target would be a near-uninhabitable insect-infested hole, but without the option to cancel because you just "rebooked" within 24 hrs, after the refund time.

I once arrived in SV and we got to our AirBNB after midnight to find that the listing was nothing like what was described - it was literally 3 different bunks in different random rooms when we'd booked several rooms in a shared house. AirBNB did give us credit worth about half the cheapest single hotel room we could find, but only after arguing for an hour.

I'd previously had good experiences with AirBNB, but it seems seriously overrun with scammers at this point, and the executives just clearly don't get it, especially at the level of PG's "solve intense immediate pain for a small number of people". There's enough of it out there to generate a lot of bad publicity and it just goes ignored. Maybe they'll pay attention with their stock near a 5-year low and under half their 52week high, but I'd sooner short it than buy it.
Much of this comment is great and informative but please don't cross into flamewar. We ban accounts that do that, especially when it's religious and/or nationalistic.

9,980,000 of those 10 million visitors arrive in a car, truck, or RV, walk less than 1km, stay on the marked trail between the visitor center and the gift shop, and leave in less than 4 hours so they can hit the outlet mall before checking into the hotel, overeating at the buffet, and falling asleep watching pay-per-view. Unless they trip and fall in the rush to the ice cream vendor or have a fatal heart attack from walking the 1km, there isn't that much that can go wrong. America!

I wonder if the f-35 is a cheap way to hit the 2% number. At nearly 100 million per unit, and an existing production line - a government can just announce a purchase and hit the target.

For the kinds of conflicts nato is likely to engage in in the next 20 years, the about to project power may be more valuable than the ability to fight a protracted conflict.
I don't really understand. The immense majority of your customers will never look at the build procedures, just like almost no one looks at the Linux kernel sources & build instructions that you can get from Sony from your smart tv. It's not like it makes the software harder to use for anyone.

Define "PC".

The XBox Series consoles don't have a UEFI or a BIOS, they have unified system/video RAM using GDDR6, they don't provide ACPI tables, and don't emulate legacy PC bits like the 8259 PIC or the 8254 PIT.

Most of that is irrelevant for modern home computers, except the UEFI. If you consider a Raspberry Pi to be a PC, then the XBox Series should probably qualify as well.
Laptops from 2020 have been able to serve the needs of the vast majority of people. Laptops from 2015 even serve the needs of most. Why invent the m1 chip?

Now imagine instead of a lesser product causing you to surf the web sightly slower, it instead causes your planes and pilots to be shot out of the sky. That is the reality that Russia and Ukraine are experiencing today.

Plus, remember that the f35 is similarly priced and in some cases cheaper than 4.5 generation planes. It was designed from the start to scale well, or at least better than in the past.
The big problem is that there are so many points of failure that need to be kept up to date and they can fail at any time. That goes from backend systems to frontend systems. It's not too bad if there's a paid system's adim to deal with the failures but the plain everyday consumer deals with the points of failure too. I know as a consumer all I want is to watch a show not try to figure out a Rube Goldberg machine just to watch it. It sucks.

Back in the early 80's, I've always preferred amber monitor over all others and I couldn't explain why. The green monitor was popular, especially with IBM PC and Apple, and white/monochrome with TRS-80. But when looking at the amber monitor, it felt easier on my eyes and the text felt crisper and cleaner. Now these days, I look for one on Ebay hoping to find one (not just amber, but any monochrome crt) for a reasonable price, but so far, they are rare.

> Do you think buying a cheeseburger makes you a chef?

No, because someone else was the chef in that case. But if I bought a conveyer belt machine that made cheeseburgers automatically at the press of a button, and I used that machine to cook dinner—maybe!

If we lived in a world where machines like that were common, the meaning of "cooking" would change...

I recall the wording being some sort of corporate-speak 'we've deemed this review not helpful to future guests' or something of the like. Sometimes I wonder how far I could have gotten taking Airbnb to small claims court. They misrepresented my stay, it was terrifying and I lost money.
Speaking for myself (American, but an AFG veteran).

Your description of how you view war is hopelessly naïve (no offense). Take out the whole “war” aspect to this and just think about it in terms of raw technology.

“Why would we improve X? It works just fine with Y right now.”

My guess is your aversion to continuous improvement in defense tech is really related to an aversion to war, which is all well and good, but irrelevant. The enemy also gets a say, and adversaries tend to invest in technologies that exploit your weaknesses - something Russia and China have assuredly done. So all this stuff you seem to think makes the US invulnerable may not actually work as well, because we have a bunch of new technologies out there for the first time.

> The truth is, if we wanted to light up some country or other, we could totally do it - the reasons we don't are ethical/economical/politcal, it's not because our war planes are not advanced enough.

There are new missiles that may, in fact, mean our bombers are not advanced enough. So, no.
Once our host gave us the wrong key, had no way of getting us the correct one, and they just wanted to cancel the reservation. This was 9pm and there was curfew due to COVID restrictions, so we were not allowed to go outside the building. I had to beg for about 4 hours to the rude host so they do not cancel the reservation and to call a locksmith. Airbnb's answer was that it was all good because we were able to get in.
> So should I believe you or my own lying eyes?

That's a question only you can answer.

> But clearly some setups are less problematic than others and it's not the case that everyone is poisoning themselves unless they go buy an electric tomorrow

I didn't say everyone should go electric tomorrow. But people are exposing themselves to (IMO high) indoor air pollution by using gas stoves without running an extractor fan and opening windows.

A lot of people (everyone I know at least) only run the extractor to get rid of food smells, not for natural gas combustion byproducts, which is a mistake.
False. It's crucial to have a good start. "[W]e find that negative impacts on socioeconomic outcomes persist in the long run. In midlife, recession graduates earned less, while working more. And they were less likely to be married and more likely to be childless."[1]

In a nutshell: go bide your time in a master's program until conditions improve. It's what people with options do.

Luckily in European countries, there is 'right to be forgotten' or 'right to erasure' which you have the right to have your data erased by the service you registered to and can request it to be deleted.

US companies do not recognise this and can allow account deletion at their own discretion. HN, (based in the US) is the same. You cannot delete your account by yourself and you can only do that unless you contact the moderators.

But I guess you can have a look at this question [0] which may be the closest to answering your request. I can obviously see why your have these concerns since there is a risk of political witch-hunting. [1][2]

Enjoy the freebies, just recognize when it’s time to move on because the org is played out and everyone has cashed out.

Mainland China’s citizens are eager to travel for the West’s mRNA Covid vaccines
I doubt people would make these booking if they were fully aware of the risks. The fact that the product exposes its customers to glaring risks should be a serious issue and it is upsetting that the company is just throwing up their hands at the issue. Some thought:
1.) A refund doesn't make the customer whole. If there weren't an arbitration agreement then I would expect that a court would expect more than just a refund. There are travel expenses, there are last minute booking fees. The customer had reasonable expectations of having a place with a core set of features for a specified duration. They need that and airbnb should foot the bill (which is typically higher than just a refund due to the last minute nature of the problem).
2.) Banning scammers is not enough, airbnb should take legal action. As mentioned a court would find that this scam costs the customer and the platform a lot of money. Well Airbnb should make it a point to punish scammer and the courts are the proper medium to take action.
3.) They should audit listings. If someone is making ~$2-5k a month on a rental and airbnb is taking ~3% or ~$60-$150, they could easily afford to send someone out to visit the unit, check the boxes and write an official verified review.

Very interesting. This would inhibit an enormous number of private security cameras if implemented in the US, particularly in cities without much of a setback from the building to the sidewalk.

Is there an exception for ATMs?

[edit] just to clarify, I said "certainly" because the idea of public space being unsurveilled is such a foreign concept to me these days. I do think there are valid safety use cases for private cameras on the street - cash machines being high on my list. Government cameras (or those accessible by government without a warrant) I think should require a much higher standard to be met. But for private use, for instance, my front door camera covers the area of sidewalk directly in front of my house. Where I live, I am liable for accidents that occur on that piece of sidewalk and the curb, should I not shovel my snow or someone slips on autumn leaves or if a tree limb falls on someone's car. I don't like the idea of the police accessing that camera, but I do like the idea of having a record of what takes place in a public area I'm personally liable for maintaining.
touchscreens in cars might be ok for settings, and the kinds of things you do when you are stopped.

But touchscreens have become a mess in cars.

Telsa is a horrible offender. I believe the UI designers must have stationary mockups that don't move around like a car.

Not only have they removed some dedicated controls, they have eliminated almost ALL dedicated controls now. The new model S/X cars don't have stalks - turn signals are touch buttons on the steering wheel. The car guesses what gear you want to be in.

Even older model S/X cars have been affected by updates - the targets have gotten smaller, and critical controls have lost dedicated positions on the screen.

for example: navigate home used to be a big button. Now it is tiny.

The defrost controls are not only on the touchscreen and tiny, now they can be moved and have state.
The problem is, any idea like this stops being fun the moment there are meaningful consequences attached to it. About the only way I can imagine such Escape Room working is if it's either ungraded, or the lowest outcome is an A, and anything above just gets praise or some "karma points" that have no value beyond giving kids something they can tease or challenge each other about.
Best Western, etc. have variety in quality but still pretty consistent overall with a floor on quality. If your shower is leaking, you’ll be able to get a new room. Maybe the hot tub is broken but that’s pretty rare and will probably get fixed within a day.

The only red flag here is you. If your son is in college, he is likely to be at least 18 and therefore an adult in most countries. He is responsible for his own decisions, and is also the one to suffer the consequences.

If he was studying accounting would you worry if he wasn't having fun doing people's taxes at night? If he was studying chemistry would you worry if he didn't have a mad scientists lab going on?

Let your son live his own life.

If it weren't for the arbitration clause you could sue for damages. Of course Airbnb could also sue the scammer but they seem to not care about the damage this this does to their customers or their brand.

>> - Animals are not your friends. Research in advance what animals to expect wherever you're going, and what precautions to take. Camping in bear country is different than camping in raccoon country, for example.

Being an Australian it always entertains when you hear Americans talking about how everything in Australia is out to kill you... Truth is, almost nothing in Australia is out to kill you unless you really annoy it and you are far more likely to have problems with dying of exposure and heat exhaustion.

In the US on the other hand it seems you have lots of real predators who are out looking for a free feed that you need to take real care about. I had no idea raccoons were potentially dangerous.

I suppose it's all about what you are familiar with. I have no problem heading off walking in the Australian bush, with full knowledge that there are snakes out there that could bite me if I did something stupid but you rarely see them and if you do they are flaked out on a rock asleep. I'd be very cautious about bushwalking in the US, as I've no idea of the risks.
Loved the amber and the green CRTs, but there were some really bad color choices too, like blue on (washed-out) white LCD, and some laptop (Toshiba?) that was red on black. Which I guess is great for dark mode.
I get it, there's one tiny aspect which is frustrating about some modern games. I don't like mandatory updates either.
