Wow. I remember the mid-90s as a brief blip in time where game music was out of this world and really added to the experience. Jazz Jackrabbit (Alex Brandon), Crusader: No Remorse (Andrew Sega), Earthworm Jim (Tommy Tallarico), and Top Gear (Barry Leitch) were the soundtracks to way more than just their respective games for me for upwards of two decades until Hotline Miami and Horizon Chase came along, and Allen Simpson crossed my radar with FNAF's "DJ Music Man."

There are some really, really good remixes of Jazz's soundtrack on YouTube. I recommend SIDNIFY's "Laboratory Level" (https://youtu.be/UY-T6I0PxZs) and Allan Zax's "Tubelectic" (https://youtu.be/3UTTduiX5bw).

Yep, no problem?
It's not just that, it's also the fact that having a lot of money makes it easier to get more money too.. and also pay less taxes.

I won't go into details, because they're country specific, but earing a wage here, especially an above-average (think engineer not richy rich) means you pay around 50% of your money in taxes. The percentage the government gets from the customer to your bank account (including the employers responsibilities and VAT) is even higher.

What you can do to optimize taxes is to drive 5, 6 hours to a different country, open a company there, and start charging the customers via that company... since the company profits are taxed a lot less, you pay only ~10% taxes. Because you want health insurance in your home country you also become an "inependent contractor" there, pay minimum taxes and get medical, kindergarden for your kids etc.

Now, if you're an engineer, with 1.5x-2x average paycheck it is possible but just not worth it... two accountants, driving there every now and then, two different taxes, fixed startup fees, fixed fees for yearly reports etc., plus the added risk of something going wrong, dealing with foreign tax inspectors etc.

If you're earing 20x the average paycheck, the fixed yearly costs are the same, but the 50%->10% tax reduction is a huge saving.

Same with companies... facebook can register a company in ireland and syphon their money over there, but for a mom and pop restaurant it just isn't worth it.

Not all animations are useless. Actually, any useless animation has no place in the UI.

- Some animations can be overlapped with time-taking tasks to keep user engaged but waiting at the same time. I think iOS does that when switching to an app that was swapped out to the disk. Loading takes time, so the animation compensates for some of the delay while the app's resuming. If there was no animation, the user could think that they didn't perform the action correctly, and might be inclined to repeat it, causing frustration.

- Some animations are necessary to orient the user in UI flow. For example, the minimization animation moves the window to the icon that user needs to click in order to restore the app. The animation also makes user differentiate between close and minimize operations.

- Some animations are necessary to give user proper feedback while keeping the responsiveness. One example would be the spring animation you get at the end of a list when scrolling using a touch screen. If there was no spring animation there, user would have no way to know that if that was the end of the list, or the touch screen stopped working.

Coming to the USA from the UK the health insurance system here was utterly baffling and terrifying.

While he believes PG&E's assessment is "biased", he has no problem with using "professional judgement" to "expect" there is "probably" the worst case scenario here. That is just as biased. I mean, why would the "worst case" exist at precisely this one location along the 850-mile California coast? And unlike Fukushima, Diablo Canyon is sufficiently elevated to not be affected by 13-meter tsunami waves.
I don't understand why people keep claiming that solar and wind are "cheap". That is only true at limited times on the spot market. The cost goes way up once you include enough storage and long-range transmission to maintain grid stability. It's like claiming that owning a car is cheap, without counting the cost of auto insurance.

> "According to the RHFS, individual investors were the biggest group in the rental housing market in 2015, accounting for 74.4 percent, or 16.7 million rental properties, followed by limited liability partnerships (LLPs), limited partnerships (LPs), or limited liability companies (LLCs) (14.8 percent);"

Isn't the very next sentence "However, because the share of rental properties owned by individual investors tends to decrease with the property size, individual investors owned less than half (47.8 percent) of rental units, followed by LLPs, LPs, or LLCs (33.2 percent), trustees for estates (3.3 percent), real estate corporations (3.3 percent), and nonprofit organizations (3.2 percent)."

Which makes it seem like the article is claiming the number is 52.2%—somewhere in between your original claim of 3%, and the GP's claim of 74.4%.
Sure, but that's missing the point — look at some of the other replies to my comment and you'll see plenty of people apparently certain that economic growth can continue absolutely forever.

The article's point, which I fruitlessly tried to support, is that the growth must at some point stop: we're living in a very remarkable era regardless of exactly how long it can go on for.
> Between smartphones having conversational agents that can do math to things like tax/tipping calculators being in-built into systems, does the "average joe" need algebra.

Mathematical literacy isn't just about being able to solve an arithmetic, algebra, or calculus problem, it's about recognizing that the problem you're looking at is a math problem in the first place. Math is the language that the universe uses to speak to us. Mathematical literacy is about learning how to listen.

Once a student is able to read and write at a middle school level, the most important classes they take are math. History, English, Art, Music, Government & Economics, Geography, Science, they're all less important than math. I'm not saying that those other fields of study are unimportant; on the contrary, they're vitally important. But on the list of vitally important things we teach our children, once they can read and write, mathematics is #1 on the list.

English class isn't about knowing how to spell "acquiesce"--I have spellcheck for that--it's about knowing that Moby-Dick is a book about the captain, not about the white whale, which is just a metaphor for obsession. History isn't about knowing that the Boston Tea Party happened on December 16th, 1773--I have Wikipedia for that--it's about knowing that the United States revolted because of oppressive taxes and a lack of representation in Parliament and btw it's more complicated than that. Mathematics isn't about knowing that if two trains are 40 miles apart and they're heading towards each other and one is traveling 20mph and the other is traveling at 60mph then they'll meet each other in thirty minutes 10 miles along the track, it's about knowing that everything--everything--can be modeled as a math problem with varying complexity, and there's a tradeoff between the accuracy of the answer and the complexity of the math problem.

No, the good colleges will just shift their acceptances towards children from out of state or children of affluent parents that can afford supplementary education. The lower three quartiles, in terms of wealth instead of ability, of Californian children will be relegated to the CSU system, while the UC system will be reserved for the wealthiest quartile and children from out of state.

Aren't solar and wind using water dams to store energy
There are some differences in the regulation of DNS assignments and real estate that makes this comparison not as direct as it may have been intended. Namely who can own the assets and if they are transferable. In real estate both of these lean much more on the open side, creating market forces which allows capitalism to work. Even if you yourself don't own property in e.g. NYC there is more than one investment company looking to buy and sell in NYC. In DNS these assignments enforce a system of renting and registry lock in. There is little room for capitalism to do its thing when avenues for competition are removed in this way.

Even seeming outs such as "invest in a gTLD" don't provide the opportunity. Aside from being the virtual equivalent of "why don't you just go build your hair salon 50 miles out of town where nobody owns anything yet for 1,000x the cost of a building in town?" gTLDs require being a well established organization, among other eligibility requirements, which creates a bit of a chicken and egg problem.

Both do have a 3rd component of "group good overhead" but the IANA fees of ~18 cents don't seem to be the problem so there's no sense in comparing/contrasting these differences.
Have you considered managing DNS records with Terraform or Pulumi? That way you can easily automate (bulk) changes.

One of the H1B visa requirements is a "employee-employer relationship," which means that a) someone has the authority to hire or fire you from your company, and b) the company should continue if you are fired (i.e. not go bankrupt, and other individuals can fill your function).

Does this imply that the investment firm will have greater power over the company than an immigrant founder?
I've wondered for a while whether it would make sense to split the CPU into a "IOPU" and a "SPU"

- The IOPU would be responsible for directing other hardware on the system. It doesn't need to be very performant.

- The SPU would be optimized for scalar and branch-heavy code that needs to run fast.

The SPU could have minimal security, just enough so it can't read arbitrary memory when fetching from RAM. It would only run one program at a time, so speculation shouldn't be an issue.

At least on my system few programs need a lot of processing power (and even then only intermittently), so little task switching should occur on an SPU.

> You seem to be really focused on this specific "low income white guys" thing, but you are missing forest for the trees.

I realize it comes across that way, but I'm keenly aware that most assistance for college, in the States at least, is highly based on unchangeable traits of each student. It's worth considering that when you are a student who will be unfavored due to those traits. What forest do you think I'm missing? Do you think my sex and ethnicity won't be taken into consideration? It is for other students, why would I be any different? Is it because it's somewhat uncomfortable to talk about a crack in the system where people are assumed to have favor and resources to gain an edge, but in reality don't? If the bias was as strong as is perceived, we wouldn't be having this conversation because I'd have graduated in my 20s.

Everyone deserves an education. We should be more like Europe in actually investing in our people.
I think the absolute hardest thing to get information on is "I have XYZ problem, I am aware of solutions A, B, and C. What is the best solution among these, what are the trade-offs between them, and what solutions am I not aware of?". Now, this is just a truly difficult question, but Stack Overflow solves that problem by forbidding such questions, which is understandable, but I think also a shame. At one point in time, I thought maybe Quora would try to fill this gap, but they went off in some other direction that I never understood. Most other "social" things (reddit, etc.) are discussion rather than Q&A. Or they are blog posts, where the focus is usually on solution A, with solutions B and C presented only for contrast, because solution A is what motivated the author to write the post.

> The major distros and BSD have shown, that yes, that scales fairly well in fact given the number of apps provided through distros official repos.

I mean... citation needed :) I run Arch and I am not dismissing at all the frankly incredible work that the Arch maintainers do bundling software and making it available. It is a miracle that it works as well as it does, to the point where my Arch systems are often more stable than non-rolling-release distros I occasionally run. Fantastic work by the maintainers.

But it's not a solved problem and I can only imagine how much effort and work is getting burned to keep it running as smoothly as it does. Step outside of the official Arch repos into AUR or (heaven forbid) into completely separate ecosystems and all of those problems come back. And I don't want to ignore the software outside of the repos, I didn't start using Linux so that I would be beholden to some kind of "official" distro app store.

There are tons of Open Source applications with no legal barriers in place that are not getting packaged in official repositories for no other reason than that they're niche and there is a lot of software to package and not enough people to do package it all.

And of course any non-OS games are also going to run into these problems. That's a problem that distro maintainers can't solve, it doesn't matter how much work they put into it, they can't repackage source-available or closed source software. "People shouldn't ship that" -> but they do :) So ideally we'd be able to handle that without descending into dependency hell.

> No, the main reason is that the linux versions do not exist for the most part

I'm not talking about games where the Linux versions don't exist, I'm explaining why I'm currently running the Windows version of Inscryption on my Deck even though it has a native Linux port. Do I want to be doing that? No, of course not. But the Linux version doesn't boot, most likely because there's some dependency chain missing or an environment variable is wrong, or... I don't know, I don't want to crawl through forums and debug that myself, I want to play the game.

And I'm not alone in that, it is common advice on Linux to use Proton instead of Linux native versions. And that stinks, it's bad for the ecosystem and it's bad for users and it's bad for games. But the Linux versions have so many more problems because they make assumptions about the underlying system that turn out not to be true. Of course Windows builds also have those problems, but the difference is that they run in a containerized environment that gives them the system they expect.
