> China and America could avert the "2nd cold war" by having dangerously over-leveraged idled Chinese builders (Evergrande, Country Garden, etc.) partner with American construction companies and put their idle/money-burning build capacity to solving America's own real-estate shortages.

I don't think that works.

If the Chinese builders are idle, it isn't because they don't have work to complete - the entire crisis is because people basically prepaid for their homes and the builders have yet to complete a lot of them (I think there's a strong implication of embezzlement here). And the Chinese government is desperately trying to find a solution that will get complete homes to the people who have paid for them.

In any case, I don't think a lack of construction companies and/or workers is the problem. It's that local governments are making it impossible to build. We're not going to get more homes built to attacking something other than the bottleneck.

Aren't you mostly talking about what the article calls awareness vs conversion? You're saying that ads made you aware and technical discussion is what would make you convert.

The other thing is controversial. "There's no such thing as bad PR" is a saying for a reason. I am also convinced that there are some things that make me never, ever consider a product. And yet: there was this one brand I hated, but it's been a while, and this one looks familiar... was it the good one or the bad one? Never mind, I don't have time to try to dredge that up, this looks familiar at least so I'll just grab it and remember for next time. (Sure I will...)

And that's just one way that bad PR can still be effective. Another is that it gets people talking about you, and some people will argue the other side because the main person's arguments are just bad.

Bad PR is good for awareness. Conversion is often based on different criteria than you expect. You may hate X, but you have a client who has heard of X and hasn't heard of Y, your preferred option.

People believe that fractional reserve banking breaks down without exponential growth only because the natural rebalancing process is stopped by the government; every time the economy tips toward recession, there is government intervention both in stimulus programs and by national banks to halt economic downturn at all costs.

It is akin to forest fires. If small, natural fires are suppressed, eventually there will build up so much kindling an inferno becomes guaranteed. Our economy is like a town built in that forest.

In my experience, it's pretty easy and reasonably cheap. I've used capsule for a few years and it's fine. The downsides are: 1) it can be hard to get prescriptions same day and 2) they don't carry everything I take so I still have one prescription I have to get at a B&M pharmacy.

Oh sorry I did not think you were disagreeing I was just trying to be clear and more trying to clear up the GPS accuracy/reliability metrics like SIL, NIC, NACp and NACv being broadcast by ADS-B being completely separate to anything to do with pressure derived altitude, I was going down a rat hole and had to edit that several times. And it can be painfully confusing e.g. the failure flag for pressure altitude aka baro altitude in ADS-B speak failure is called NICbaro but has no relationship to the GPS NIC (Navigation Integrity Category) value. And depending on the system some of the GPS accuracy/reliability metrics are just hard coded, and the ones that really matter like NACp are derived from the GPS and SBAS reception.

John Wiseman does great stuff with ADS-B Out data.

Also for pilots/aircraft owners/A&Ps: The FAA PAPR (Public ADS-B Performance Report) https://adsbperformance.faa.gov/PAPRRequest.aspx provide a summary of their aircraft's ADS-B performance, including all the broadcast GPS quality metrics and any reported failure flags etc. The PAPR system will email out the PDF report. The owner/pilot/A&P can reply to that email and request a Google Earth/kmz and Spreadsheet/CSV data for that flight showing all the received ADS-B transmissions including all those accuracy/reliability metrics. Interesting stuff and very useful for diagnosing problems with ADS-B Out installations. So sensitive you'll might see say NACp degrade as an aircraft banks steeply because the GPS antenna now has a view of fewer GPS satellites. Installations in most (non-experimental/non-light sports) aircraft effectively require use of PAPR to formally validate a new installation is working correctly. It's a good thing for owners to also just periodically check their aircraft's ADS-B performance using PAPR. I suggest just before and after each annual inspection for GA/light aircraft.

I'm not saying that it was easy, or anything like business as usual. They've done interviews where they talked about the difficult decision to prioritize companies that would go under without new stock over casual hobbyists. It's one of those unenviable situations where there's no good outcome, just a possibly less-bad one.

> Specifically keeping track of what are available for the character efficiently along with the event system to flag quests as completed, etc.

This is not necessarily that difficult, at least the first part. A lot of games will have quests be given out by a 'quest giver' character of some sort, or they will activate at specific interaction points on the map. You can do some cheap 'has-player-finished-quest' type of checks to determine if for example the quest giver has some sort of UI to indicate they have a quest available that activate when the quest giver first comes into view range. Quests with more initial conditions can hide their checks behind the interaction with the quest giver.

Doing quest progression can be a bit more challenging. You need to determine when to do the checks for progress, and also how comprehensive you want them to be. The more complex the check, the less often you can run it without affecting game performance. I've seen designers use all sorts of tricks depending on the specific quest. Interaction volumes that run checks, periodic ticks, on entity flash messages..etc.

> Then, every event can practically just be brute forced across your pending quests to see which ones get progressed

This only works for games that have a small number of active quests and not a lot of events. And with MMO's, you really need to be considerate of the accidental quadratic performance problem.
It has more to do about humility than "Stockholhm syndrome" or "gas lighting". Who are we to take away the ad-supported platforms from the people who want them or need them, because they can't afford to pay?

Community driven platforms exist today. We don't even need to ban the ad-supported platforms to have them.

By the way, I think you may be looking at the past with rosy glass or perhaps didn't live through it. Because advertising on the web used to be a lot more distracting and distasteful. There were popups all over the place, full page animated banner ads, etc.

Yes, I'm not sure why this axiom needs to be repeated in every HN thread about housing.

You don't believe me? You might have a relative who experienced hard times, and sure, that affects you, I get it. But you've or they have probably not seen what the Winklevoss twins have, or what I have.

You weren't raised in Greenwich Connecticut where you were an elite rower and your parents were Ivy League professors. Cam and Ty's parents were very well off, and their sons went to a fabulously expensive private prep school ($30k per person per year, could be a lot more actually) in a fabulously wealthy town. The "I might not have enough" mentality is flipped, and it becomes an arms race of "I have enough, but my neighbor has much more" and thus forms an inherently competitive aspect to life, and worse, to making money. You've got a few hundred million? Cool story bro, that's pauper shit, my friend's got a billion. You've got a billion? Good for you, the guy down the street has 5 billion. Where the twins (and I) are from, you don't get admiration for getting that money, you get a target on your back, and everyone wants to outdo you. THAT is the world those guys grew up in (I did too). Nobody just says "wow, I made a billion dollars, time for me to go buy a place on some remote island or on the beach and just chill out with my family and those closest to me", they say "fuck, I got a billion but this asshole in my church just made 2 billion, and I want to beat him".

Nobody is content, which is stunning to me. If I ever get that kind of money, I'm buying a shack in the mountains, and a hut on the beach, putting a bit in a trust for my nephew, and donating the rest. Fuck the rat race.
Bose QC 35 V1 headphones when charging and used passively connected via the headphone jack to an iPad or iPhone also being charged from the same source would pickup audible digital bus noise of the iDevice. Moving the charging sources to different ground planes would solve the problem. It would also happen if devices were being charged by different power adapters connected to the same neutral or ground. This led me to conclude it was a form of ground loop due to a lack of engineering and testing of the headphones.

The way I see it, "blockchain" (NFTs, etc) are less technologies and more business-plans to make money--perhaps in a slightly more-literal sense than usual--from available tools.

It's kind of like ride-share services: They didn't invent cars or databases or dispatching systems or phone-apps, and while their investment might have spurred some new tools/libraries/algorithms they use, the broader usefulness of those inventions doesn't flow backward to mean they have a good/sustainable business.

There are even cases like "private blockchain" where the fad-marketing is getting used to mislabel what is actually just a regular old distributed database of yesteryear.
I think blank slate HN'ers who want to cleverly build from first principles are in a sense like the problem C++ of trying to import the banana class and accidentally bringing in the entire world.

But with the blank slaters it's more like, "let's solve brown bananas by making them out of titanium." And somehow you are left to import some unspecified number of classes for them until they finally posit that even bringing in the entire world won't fix the bug in their code.

Wouldn't hurt to find new shorthand terms for different kinds of users.

"Grandma" has all sorts of positive connotations, but some discussions in HCI and product design have loaded it to mean not good at some things, when that's not necessarily even generally true. And I suppose the idea, casually propagated, could be a little insulting, or even professionally harmful to people.

Maybe a mental exercise to make this intuitive is to imagine a workplace meeting, and someone calling a colleague "grandma", while meaning pretty much what is meant here. They'd rightly get smacked across the room, figuratively, with a chance of literally.

> There is much less variance on cognitive ability on the younger end of our lives than the higher end.

I'm not sure that's true. Mental maturity in kids varies widely, too. There are some pretty mentally mature kids changing the world. Look at Greta Thunberg.

There are also many fewer years for older people to live with the consequences of their votes. Everything has trade-offs. In this case, the loss would not be as bad as the loss we get from excluding those below 18.

Whatever the counterexample of sharp old people, I can think of one for sharp young people. We ignore those exceptions for young people, we can ignore them for old people, too. And if you're worried the old-age cutoff will be too young, just pick whatever age's median mental acuity matches 18 year olds - what's good for the gosling is good for the goose.

I appreciate your point, and it's horrifying.

I still wonder how many coding questions, stack overflow posts, comments on tech blogs etc just naturally have better responses to polite and clear discourse? SO is heavily moderated, and I'm yet to see unmoderated vitriol in the comments of a useful blog post. And then the horrifying reality of the human assisted fine tuning process would also push it towards polite discourse.

I mean it's definitely possible that using polite language gets you into better latent space in the model for productive answers. Personally (and very subjectively) I get a lot of good use out of ChatGPT and I wonder why others seemingly find it useless. Could
it be because I'm polite and say "thank you" before moving to the next ask (within the same conversation)?
