I did contract work for Under Armour and their setup used microservices for everything (facet search, tax calculation, shipping calculation, cart, checkout, user data, etc). They used Docker and Kubernetes for nodejs apps for each service, and gRPC/protobuf for communication, and Kafka for message queuing. It was a good setup, since one service going down didn't take down the whole app. I remember facet search went down (it was ElasticSearch and something in the index broke). You could still browse and add to cart, checkout and most users probably didn't even notice unless they wanted to search by material or color. Similarly shipping calculation broke once but it had a fallback so that when the service was down instead of hitting the shipping partner API and returning the actual shipping cost (e.g. $5.65) it would return a sensible estimate (e.g. $6). Almost every service was set up so that if the service was down temporarily, messages were queued and processed later.

Numeric Pangrams
And I think this is one of the things modern games have missed for a lot of BG-era players -- discovery and delight.

AAA production costs make it difficult: you can't just spread the game's budget equally into niche content most will never see.

But if you do it smartly, it seems like there's still financial and development space for "Wouldn't players find it cool if...?" things.

One of the major turn-offs of post-TES3 Bethesda style games has been just how soul-less the tracks through their content have been. It's obvious anything "weird" had to get approved through a committee and was watered down in the process.

Games were the better when there was a path for a development team member to have 10% time to implement some kooky feature.

And maybe now that needs to flow through approval... but don't soften it into pablum in the process.

Hence, I created a desktop app to send all sorts of files - images, PDFs, lengthy videos, etc. to any device connected to the same Wi-Fi network. You also don't need to download a separate mobile app. There's only 3 steps involved - select your files, scan a QR code, download your files.

there's a very weird, counterintuitive, psychological phenomenon on display here. somehow, in your opinion, the article itself doesn't cross the threshold into "smug self-importance" even though there's a strong call to action/categorical imperative (espoused/propounded) in the article. on the otherhand, me suggesting that that's the case, is smug self-importance. there's a word (maybe several) for this phenomenon: hypocrisy.
When antitrust proceedings starts against Standard Oil in 1904, they had 91% market share [0]. By 1911 when they were broken up they were down to 64%, but that’s because the case progressed. And after the breakup they had 0%.

But I think if Standard had 64% in the beginning and there was a competitive market, they would not have been broken up.

Indeed. In my country we have a public healthcare system. I also have private insurance, which I use sometimes because you can get consultations and tests much faster; but I wouldn't do anything invasive with the private insurance before getting an opinion from a public doctor first. The incentives aren't well aligned in private healthcare. For me, the combo (trust diganoses from the public system more, but use private when convenient) seems to work well.

Public healthcare doesn't cover dentists, though, and to be honest, from other people's experience, I don't trust them much. I haven't visited one in over 20 years, and so far I haven't experienced pain or any other annoying symptoms other than some slight gum bleeding once per year or so which seems to resolve by itself by brushing and flossing more thoroughly than normal for a few days. I know it's risky and this may come to bite me later. Fingers crossed.

BG3 is single player offline game, mainly distributed globally through Steam (and GOG) which runs it's own CDN for games. There is a multiplayer mode but that is co-ordinated via p2p for the most part.

The "IT team" at Larian doesn't get hit with those downloads as they only send a single copy up to Steam's CDN which handles the traffic (perhaps some backend user authentication too?)

so essentially this article is "Baldur's Gate 3, is a very popular download on Steam" just buzz to push more sales presumably.

Both review and replication has their place. The mistake is treating researchers and the scientific community as a machine: "pull here, fill these forms, comment this research, have a gold star"

It was so jarring coming from France in the late 80s to the US and going to the dentist. In France, the dentist's office was one woman, was the dentist and ran her office (Scheduling, seeing patients, etc...) She had modified her house so she ran her practice from a wing of her house. It was modern at the time, sanitary and she was a very nice dentist, but no assistants or anything. It was very much 1 patient at a time, you waited in the waiting room. At the time, though I was a child, I don't remember cleanings being a thing, just an occasional visit (maybe every 2 years for adults) or you went if something hurt. My family had means but we would still pay partially with mutuelle coupons everyone was given by the government. (Not sure how this works, I was young)

Moved to the US in the early 90s, the dental practice in the US, holy moly! TVs with cartoons mounted to the ceiling, a bunch of staff from office workers dealing with insurance and scheduling to dental assistants. Then 1 or 2 dentist moving from patient to patient sequentially. It was a business first.

I don't know what it's like in France now, this was in the north, in a traditionally not affluent area (though my family was by all standards affluent). Has it become more like the US now? I don't which one is best, I do know all my grandparents (who were not affluent) had full dentures by the time they were 60.
Your frustration is understandable, but there is no fault on either side. Language evolves and different fields borrow and evolve the meanings of words all the time. Not even the `neuron` that you're thinking of is the original meaning of the word.

We go twice a year (NL). But we also lived in Germany for a while where it was once a year and they wouldn't do the extra polishing/whitening unless you paid a lot extra. But I think for a long time you also had to pay extra in Germany to get white composite filling, insurance would only cover amalgam fillings.
think of corrugated metal. sound waves and heat will travel slower in the wavy direction than in the straight direction. you can stamp some more complicated pattern onto a piece of metal to control how sound waves travel through it. almost like a sound circuit. (eg. passive sound canceling metal panels. things like that)

you could come up with some material that naturaly has those kinds of properties without being wavy. but mathematically its the same thing.
My initial Invisalign treatment consisted of approximately 30 trays (invisible aligners) for a total of $5,000, covering all expenses. However, after completing the 30th aligner, my dentist determined that I required additional aligners. Today, approaching my 45th aligner, but it didn't incur any additional charges for the extra aligners. I'm curious about the reason behind not having to pay more.

During each monthly visit, the dentist evaluates my progress by conducting scans (done by the intern) and occasionally cleaning my teeth. The process was quite straightforward, and appears to be much simpler compared to making adjustments for traditional braces.

I'm interested in finding real cost for Invisalign trays and what share get the dentist
The issue is that having a monopoly in the US isn’t a reason to break up a company, even though it might make it possible to abuse. Antitrust law in the US requires some consumer harm, so it’s the abuse of monopoly power that’s the crux, not just having it.

And duty to shareholders would actually mean that management would not abuse their monopoly power because of the risk of breakup.
I have played for over 30 hours since release, and now at Act 2. It's one of the best games I have played. I am not a huge D&D fan, but I like real RPG games where the player choice actually matters such as DOS 2 and Pathfinder WOTR, so this one was instant buy for me and I am very pleasantly surprised. I can already see myself doing another playthrough, there is lots of diverging in the story. Too many so called RPG games nowadays are just pipes that you walk through with some kind of illusion of choice and few lines of different dialogue.

The inventory management is little messy and could be better, but honestly I don't find much else to critique yet.

This kind of depends on where in Europe. The North of Sweden (i.e the top 2/3 of the country) is very sparsely populated, and well-suited for installing on-shore wind power.

Basically the current system is failing at finding out what is true. Which is the entire point. That's pretty damn bad.
I don't know where your sense of entitlement is coming from, but first off, I don't owe you any information whatsoever. Not to mention the name of the company is absolutely irrelevant to the conversation we were having before you involved yourself literally only asking this question. I hoped, apparently wrongly, that someone could infer from me not bringing the name up myself that maybe I don't want to be associated with said place. I owe you nothing, welcome to hn.

People have their reasons for disclosing or not disclosing things. You aren't entitled to know why, by any means. You're a 32point 2 month old HN account who has literally nothing personal listed about yourself, whilst people like me do have personal things listed. Move off, bud. I owe you absolutely nothing and I have my reasons for whatever I say. And you are not entitled to a how, why or anything else about my reasoning.

When I think about this kind of thing I always think about how for the first couple generations, the overwhelming majority of people who lived in the Roman Empire weren’t even aware there was an empire. They still believed that they lived in a republic.

Europe is de facto a military protectorate of the USA. They are imperial clients in all but name. And they know it. We see this overt control (not influence!) from time to time, for example how for some reason US policy makers control ASML’s exports.

Basically all of this is false.

The legal duty to shareholders doesn't mean that companies need to violate the law. In reality, saying " we don't abuse our market position to avoid regulatory scrutiny" is acting in the interests of shareholders, and a lawsuit wouldn't go further. Otherwise you'd be saying that companies had a duty to break all laws in pursuit of shareholder value, which is obviously silly.

And yeah under us law you have to prove consumer harm or anticompetitive practice, not just having a significant market majority.

"Status Quo Coalition" (of rich and free countries)

I think Mr. Devereaux is mostly right from a german point of view.

(West) Germany became rich and free because of the USA.

But there were and are considerable differences of interest, for example with regard to Russia policy.

The U.S. was not happy about Willy Brandt's Ostpolitik. (1)

Many Germans were not happy about nuclear armament in Europe (limited nuclear war in Europe) (2).

The Nord Stream pipelines are a story of their own.

Mr. Devereaux is right, however, about the current German stance in the Ukraine war.
