That still doesn’t make it a Ponzi scheme. Don’t just throw the word around.
The person you’re responding to’s point is that you know that a PS5 is better than a PS4 without cursory investigation because you know 5 > 4. When you’re dealing with mass market consumers, there are many that won’t perform cursory investigations of products. Busy parents, technologically illiterate grand parents, kids with limited internet access, etc.
Ah, mobile gaming. The only place that Scrabble can get a 94 on Metacritic.
Submarines are also waaaaaay more expensive. Largely due to all the engineering and quality control that goes into what you’re talking about.
I have no idea what the plan is for Italy, Portugal, Spain, and South Korea.

They're all aging incredibly rapidly and the first three have generous pension systems that are going to be impossible to reduce
Owning a car comes with the obligation to get insurance in most jurisdiction, so it's not that outlandish to require insurance for these types of things too.

The question is what exactly "huge risks" are; I've been hiking on my own and sometimes didn't see anyone for days; is that a "huge risk" or just a "risk"? Do I need an evaluation to see how "prepared" I was? In the end everyone takes some amount of "risk" at times, so how do you define "exceptional" risk and codify that in law? I'm certainly not looking forward to a future where everything that could possibly perhaps be risky are regulated to the microscopic level.

And if we look at the overall costs, are we really talking about that much money? Is it unreasonable for the public to carry these costs? Personally I'd say yes. But is it enough money to act upon, considering any legislation will also restrict normal people? A lot less sure about that.
Mobile games are a pastiche.

The viewport is a small number of inches, the types of games are wholly different, the controls are awful.

These are not only different consumer segments, they're wholly different products. The FTC is making the right call.
I recall downloading a bootleg divx of this mashup back in university. Great album, great film, great mashup, particularly under the effects of THC.

I’ve explored audio video mashups a lot in the past few years as a DJ and VJ. Some are available on my Vimeo [1], a favorite being a mashup of Rock & Rule (Clive Smith 1983) and Another Bugged Out Mix (Erol Alkan 2005) [2].

After a lot of experimentation I think I can explain the effect…

Film and music are both forms of story telling.

See Joseph Campbell’s “monomyth” for the best explanation of this, how we’re pretty much all telling the same “hero” story over and over again.

A great film presents one or more story arcs with an intro, build up, a downfall due to conflict, then another rise to overcome conflict, maybe a big surprise twist, then a nice plateau for the ending.

A great DJ set follows a similar pattern with its energy and build ups and drops.

So does a great album, especially a truly artistic album like Dark Side of the Moon.

It’s fractal pattern…

A single song tells a story with a smaller arc. A single film scene has a flow.

Overlap really interesting music and video with their independent ebbing and flowing story telling and you’re bound to get lucky where they line up really well from time to time.

Sometimes you get so lucky it feels like more than a coincidence. Particularly when the source materials have an actual similar theme or influence and if viewers are an altered state and you are adding your own internal narrative to the mix.

Despite seeing this formula I still think it’s magic. All artists are tapping into some sort of universal creative spirit and are taking and sharing influences consciously and unconsciously.

I am always searching for more people exploring these types of mashups and finding great videos to explore.

Some good stuff on the Synkronocity Archive!

Great news, in terms of environment, we should seek for economic degrowth, particularly on tourism, that is devastating
We use it for our project https://3perf.fr (sorry in french. It's a repository of agroecological cases and practices). It's very useful to add some structured metadata to encyclopedical data, in order to add some faceting search capabilities for exemple. Very versatile.
I try to write all my CLIs this way - to the point of writing my own Go CLI parsing library [0] to do it.

Now, when I run `cmd -h`, I get output like the following for all flags (example from [1]):

--count , -c : Number of times to dig
type : int
default : 1
configpath : dig.combine.count
required : true
currentvalue (set by config) : 1

It's sometimes more verbose than I'd like, but it's quite useful for figuring out how a flag got its current value

Sure - that's also a great option, the government will make money on the permits and taxes from converting and selling/renting. Still better than keeping everything empty.

It's possible the owners wouldn't want to start running a renting to tenants business if they were renting office space, since it's less money per client and more maintenance/running costs. The governement could very well be better at handling this than private companies, and would companies would sell for liquidity instead of future profit, and go into something else.

Esit: I'm no expert on housing, but this would disrupt wildly the value of housing in the city, since the benefit of being close to offices vanishes and housing is all over. Profits from exploiting the buildings could very well be less than interesting for private companies.

It could also be governement policy to sell this housing to individuals instead of renting, creating a lot of capital to be used by individuals (since mortgages are tough to reach for most people today, this could be nice economic leverage for individuals, if they could buy cheap housing and mortgage it.

Not sure what that'd do to the economy but I doubt it would be bad.

Over 2,000 people died crossing the Mediterranean last year.

It seems the public expense spent on rescuing those lost at sea is very much in proportion to the net worth of the people in distress.
> Current market prices for a lot of commercial real estate seems to be a ponzi scheme especially in the US

A ponzi scheme is fraud in which belief in the success of a nonexistent enterprise is fostered by the payment of quick returns to the first investors from money invested by later investors.

Where is the nonexistent enterprise? How is money from later investors used to hoodwink the first investors by pretending there's quick returns?

I think you are looking for a different characterization of commercial real estate for it isn't a ponzi scheme.
No I did not. Sales numbers matter. And Nintendo claims to make a profit on the hardware.
I feel like you’re imagining a world where only loot-box games exist. There are plenty of couch co-op games if you look for them. You can also still buy physical games, and they are still cheaper used.
Inflation is nothing to do with growth, and if gdp per capita is increasing that’s growth even if population is decreasing
I do think this is true on some cases others are an mis judging of calories that are being eaten. The calories on menus have been great in this case. Going to order a salad at say cheese cake factory - some push to nearly 2000 calories. Add that second patty on burger with fries 1500 calories. These come close to a full days calorie needs on a single meal.

I can't see any context in the form of a discussion, it's just code, so I can't see the anticipated trade-offs etc. but I'd expect the cost of access to the Btree of any decent size (that is, overflowing cache) and large fanout to be almost completely about RAM memory latency. Therefore I'd expect compiling just the tree-accessing code to be of little value.

Happy to be put right though.
Most of the reason why internet discourse feels weird / uncanny valley to me is that it seems to often be made up of teenage debate society level "hot takes" on the bloody obvious.

Attractive, rich people get more attention.

Why would it ever be otherwise? A world like that would have us still in caves.

Arizon’s stupid motorist law “states that any motorist who becomes stranded after driving around barricades to enter a flooded stretch of roadway may be charged for the cost of their rescue” [1].

This transfer of liability is simpler than insurance requirements. And it doesn’t strike me as callous when dealing with wealthy people voluntarily engaging in risky activities within a jurisdiction that has the capability to save them.

If the category includes all mobile games, it should include video gambling machines as well.
Your understanding is correct, on both points. The only content you’ll see from people you don’t follow is if an account you do follow “boosts” it (equivalent to a retweet), or if you browse the federated timeline (which shows you a bunch of posts from instances federated with yours). Indeed, if the author you are replying to would like to not see people celebrating their own identity and sense of self, they could simply unfollow these accounts.
I would say that you are able to consolidate a group of people into taking a better path to achieve specific goals.

No growth functionally means your material life won't improve. Individual lots might improve, but only at the expense of others.
Nearly all mobile games are designed to get you addicted and then monetize you via micro transactions. IMO it’s better to just not participate in that form of gaming. I deleted all mobile games about 10 years ago after I found myself unable to regulate how much time I was spending on objectively stupid games like Pocket Frogs (basically you vs an RNG trying to breed and catch them all). I knew it was a low quality way to spend time, but still I would find myself there again multiple times per day because they baked time delays into the gameplay (unless you pay up, of course). I hope it’s the closest I’ll ever get to experiencing a gambling addiction, but it was so odd feeling like I had no control over it after a while. I had to delete everything and go cold turkey to get back control. I still enjoy a good console game now and then but it’s giving too much of my time and attention away to game developers letting that stupid stuff on my phone.
Yes your right all use for internet is tiktok and tourism.

That people like you exists on a platform like Hacker News is actually mind blowing.
Inflation + growth is what makes a pensions system possible in the first place. Devaluing debt and growing capital allows for a period of no productivity at old age, otherwise it would be unaffordable.

The most recent generation of consoles is a pretty significant value, there's not a whole lot of PCs that can rival the PS5's performance for the price, even when you do a 1:1 comparison with their PC ports.

Physical titles still exist, my local library rents out PS5 games.

Loot boxes are mostly in free-to-play titles. Sony's big-budget games like Returnal, God of War, Ratchet and Clank, Horizon, etc don't have any predatory monetization. In fact of the above only Horizon had DLC, a $20 expansion pack that was well recieved.
There are a handful of mobile ports of desktop games which are fine, like Hearthstone if you're into that. It plays ok on a phone.

But mostly they don't exist. And I'm convinced the root cause is that a tiny touchscreen is an awful medium for nontrivial games. You can make a tiny screen work with a controller, and you can make other types of games with a big touchscreen where you can present lots of information, but the combination is so restrictive that it's just not worth the trouble of competing with the heaps of F2P garbage.
Property taxes are usually set as a fixed amount to be collected, and the tax % is back calculated. In practice, this means that the only thing that matters is the value of a property relative to the rest of the city.

If Covid was as deadly as everyone thought, we'd have lost about 1% of humans and still seen population numbers grow that year. That's nuts.

Also, population growth rates vary a lot by country. Many countries have a negative growth rate, whether due to birth rates or immigration rates. I think Canada's birth rate is almost as low as Japan's, but Canada allows a lot of immigration and Japan allows less.
That's specific to the refactoring of godots internals in 4.0. specifically the performance will suffer in single threaded systems.

Note that we are running a multithreaded Godot 3 game on the web. It only uses threads when sharedarraybuffer is available, otherwise uses single threaded mode. Mostly just affects the latency of audio.
I’m pro growth and I don’t see any reason why that has to be done badly. Eg I also care about the environment being healthy, but think we can switch to solar and be smarter about other sorts of pollution etc and achieve both ends.

Strangely I received this notification but when I go to login it says there's no account with that email. In general it seems like this account expiration process is kind of sloppy.

It definitely doesn't make sense to expire accounts in use by desktop software where the user doesn't login to the website.

When I've seen companies do sloppy stuff like this in the past it's because some employee manually queried for accounts but their SQL query was missing a bunch of cases.
I don't think people should be making tables, they should be making data, which they put into a table via a query.

>Over-elaborated hierarchies where configuration files may reside, and their precedence schemes.

>Read the manpage for all the hilarity.

If you find it hilarious it's because you don't understand the reason. /usr belongs to the distribution and /etc belongs to the user. The distribution doesn't touch /etc and the user doesn't touch /usr.

Upstream ships a unit with its own opinion of the defaults. That unit goes in /usr.

Distribution would like to override a default. It can patch the file but that is somewhat harder to discover (it would require reading the package source). Alternatively it can add a drop-in. That drop-in goes into /usr too since it's a distribution file.

User would like to override a default. They should not edit /usr because that belongs to the distribution. They drop their override in /etc.

Some units are created at runtime on demand and thus ephemeral, like mount units generated by generators. These go in /run. These are functionally "system-provided units" because users must be able to override them, so they're below /etc in the hierarchy.

The "defaults" and "overrides" we're talking about are both at the level of the individual setting as well as at the level of the whole file. If a user wants one of the settings to be different, they can add a new 99-foo.conf file that unsets / changes it. If they want a whole file to be different, they can add a new file with the same name that is empty / has different values for its settings.

BTW `systemctl cat whatever.unit` will print all the files that systemd considered in the order that it considered them.

>And this is just an excerpt which doesn't cover the details.

The only detail your excerpt doesn't include is the consideration of `service.d/`, `socket.d/` etc directories which provide overrides for all units of that type. It's just one point, not commonly used, and not that big of a deal either.
Netflix Games[1] have higher quality than usual and no ads, no in-app purchases, and no predatory tactics (in the games I tried). Bonus points for being all free if you already have a Netflix account.

I can vouch for Poinpy[2], Laya's Horizon[3], Lucky Luna[4], and Skies of Chaos[5]. I haven't tried the mobile ports, but the desktop versions were very good: Into the Breach[6], World of Good[7], and Kentucky Route Zero[8].

The downside is that some Netflix'ied games seem to be buggy, and it requires online connection on startup to check your account status.

> “The difference between successful people and very successful people is that very successful people say ‘no’ to almost everything.”

Which is false if you're not a decider to begin with. Otherwise, saying “no” to almost everything lands you somewhere between ‘uncooperative’ and ‘insubordination’. The majority of people are not the target audience for this article.
I found these by searching and exploring and in my opinion they are good games for mobile (Android):

* Retro Bowl and others by the same dev
* Rusted Warfare for an RTS.
* Spent many hours on Andors Trail before reaching the current end
* Euclidea is fun if you are geometrically inclined

All these found through browsing and searching.

> Individual lots might improve, but only at the expense of others.

This is already true, we’re seeing the worst wealth inequality since the gilded age. The benefits of growth are increasingly being captured by the wealthy.
Given that most of the world's wealth is in the hands of less than a thousand people or thereabouts, and that these are the same people who keep benefitting most from economic growth, there is plenty of room to improve everyone's lot in life while not even materially hurting the richest of the rich (most of whom could still live a life of unimaginable luxury with only a thousandth or a few hundredths of their current wealth).
It = wealth distributed extremely unevenly and lots of unnecessary luxuries
For everybody who says (quotes from different comments here):

> How many times a year do you think people get cancer vs get lost at sea?

> Not to mention that if a poor person does something stupid and gets lost, millions could still be spent in their rescue.

> Every rescue attempt is a practice run for something more important in the future.

I want to remind, that at same time about 700 refugees were lost in Mediterranean. Without any SnR, practice run or another.
I looked up Sorcerry! and it says I can't play it because my phone is too new. This is absurd that the game is already considered out of date, and kind of highlights your point about the difficult market.
The caveat for the PM here is that they can earn someones trust without earning their respect, which puts them in a far weaker position.
The version of monopoly we have wasn’t designed to be fun, it was originally created to criticize capitalism and point out that it’s unfair and was spread among groups opposed to capitalism. Ironically a guy ripped off the game from these groups and claimed it as his own, renamed it Monopoly, changed some of the rules to turn it into a real game that people would actually want to play, and made a fortune off of it.

I once thought the same, but there is not a universal answer on how to store data that delivers the combination of performance, reliability for every use case. Files are the lcd and leave room for optimization - and end up being a nice abstraction to hide the inner workings of decades of different storage devices and apis.
Actually, a Windstar/Aerostar/etc with the seats down/removed holds longer material with zero overhang, can hold more material than a pickup bed without the need to cover anything, and can be used to move an 8 man workcrew.

The ford model even has the same engine and transmission as their pickups (last I read).
