Are commenters here intentionally ignoring the point or just not bothering to read the article closely enough to get it?

The first 24-48 hours of disaster relief invariably sees a need for a field hospital and temporary accommodations to be set up. Other NGOs will be flying in with more semi-permanent solutions (days, weeks, months) while the first responders are setting up. This product is for the first responders. If you can address a 1000-bed need immediately (injuries being expected to be distributed as a power law with few major injuries and many minor ones), then only need 100 beds after the several days these cardboard beds are likely to last, that buys the logistics people with the semi-permanent solutions enough time to come in and set something up more amenable even if those amenities take a bit longer to pack, ship, unpack, and install.

Water could be an issue, except plastic sheets pack even better than cardboard and are fully waterproof.

Bugs could be an issue, except by the time these beds have become infested better amenities will have already arrived.

And cardboard can be cut up and reused for quite a few things. Based on the attitudes of these commenters I'd wager they can't imagine the human ingenuity that becomes available in such dire situations.
If you cut out the next sentence, yes it looks contradictory. Consider I wrote the below immediately after:

>(the legal kind). We (the West) have to establish systems that promote migrant integration.

Immigration is not a single problem to be for or against. It's a complex problem that can help us resolve our population growth problems or it can destroy our societies(there are examples of both).

The key differences between the "good" immigration and the "bad" immigration are: the good is usually, but not always legal and the bad is usually but not always illegal.

Other things that matter a lot are the purpose why people immigrate(escaping an actual war going to closest safe place, trying to better one's economic situation by gaining a skill that allows one to work in a more developed economy or going with an intent of gaming the benefit system and living off that), the desire to integrate once the immigrants gets there and the actions the host state does to encourage that (example of bad: put immigrants all in social housing together creating no incentive to learn the host country's language etc, example of good: distribute migrants evenly across the entire country requesting each local gov to provide few units of social housing that are not right next to each other),and finally one of the major ones :the ease of gaming the benefit system. I personally have met people that had their children registered for benefits in 3 countries and the entire family living off that (Germany, Denmark and Netherlands I believe.). I heard in Germany an unemployed immigrant gets more in benefits that he (because it is a he 99% of time) could hope to earn in any unskilled job. This doesn't promote integration and asimilation. It promotes people who go to work being called suckers by their peers.

So yes, there is good immigration (all the people that immigrate legally, or are fleeing a genuine war next door) and there is the bad (all the desperate people that were sold a dream of a life without having to work by living off benefits, then they pay people's smugglers and if they manage to survive the trip they realise this life is not going to be as good as they thought).

So yes, I propose we increase legal, skill based immigration, we encourage integration and assimilation a lot more, and we have expulsion as a penalty for crime. Furthermore, we actually protect our borders, and we enforce the border enforcement by the countries on route, so the illegal immigration goes down to a manageable level. And where people in source countries are really suffering we help these countries over there.

I only glanced over the problem. The ne would have to write a book on the subject to properly cover it. However, seeing first hand examples of good and bad immigration in many countries such as the UK, Germany, France and Poland I believe calling all immigration bad is equally silly as calling it all good.

> Your lament is pretty common to adults of that age

It's not just about age but also about circumstance. I guess the first radio-pirates were also nostalgic about the era of complete freedom when everything was allowed. We just happened to live through the era of the birth of internet. The newer platforms, controlled by google and apple are draconian in comparison.
Regularly? Really?

That's the standout case that everybody was in an uproar about .. a 2019 raid regarding a 2017 news story that was alleged to have been sourced from classified military documents from a war zone.

You'd have a point if this was a common occurence, which it isn't.

You'd have a point if this hadn't rippled backwards and forwards between multiple levels of media coverage and legal engagement, which it did.

You'd have a point if this was raiding journalists over trivial petty personal small town shit, which it wasn't.

What you have here is occassional line crossing not swept under a rug, in a full media and legal spotlight .. given that it's impossible to stop line crossing, it counts as success to have such things made public and investigated.

The argument of selfishness still assumes that having children is the default and there’s something wrong or negative at play for those who choose not to go down that path.

I’d also point out that the decision to have children is almost always one motivated by what people want for themselves, not some altruistic obligation. If asking people why they chose to have kids wasn’t taboo, I’d be willing to bet that the answers you’d hear back would be about what the parents want for themselves. At its core, “We’ve always dreamed of starting a family” is about the life the parents desire to live.

It also was framed heavily around John Romero and id, which is what I was talking about in that paragraph.

I'd probably agree, but I'm not sure who is calling all of them exceptions or what doing so would be an excuse for.

As someone who lives outside of America, I find the article's implicit assumption that every videogame developer is American makes many of his arguments less convincing.

Like, I understand that $120,000 isn't a lot for a team of 3 Americans. But that's a pretty good amount of money in Poland, Brazil, or Vietnam. So why don't we see these "missing middle" games coming from those places?

Sure, American publishers aren't interested in writing small checks... But what about Chinese or Indian publishers?
From a player perspective, you're wrong. Go play something like Outer Wilds, you'll finish it in a few hours, and the game will never be the same after you finish, but it will leave an impression as strong or stronger than 10,000 hours in Factorio.

From a game publisher perspective, you're right, you want to create "lifestyle games" that players can put 1,000 hours or more into. These games are more likely to sell because YouTubers and streamers will find a niche publishing content for these endlessly repayable games, and that will attract a lot of eyeballs and drive a lot of sales. If your game is "just" an incredible story and experience, then a lot of people will experience it by watching their favorite streamer play the game, and then they will never play it themselves.

I am fine with people (especially if they are licensed professionals) reading my private conversations and photos, but I worry about people (especially licensed law enforcement) accessing my data on online child abuse.

We can not always get what we want.

Instead, we entrust the police a monopoly on violence, physical detainment, and violation of privacy, and hold them accountable if they can be shown to disregard their duty and responsibilities. As a civilian, your duty is to weigh your personal sense of discomfort against the societal benefits of improved child abuse detection.
> "normal" for the reason to "behave like a normal element". "auto" for "behave like before".

This seems backwards. In my mind "normal" sounds like "size this the way form elements are normally sized" (i.e., the default behavior), and "auto" sounds like "size this automatically" (i.e., based on the content).
If the problem was as simple as that, it wouldn't be a problem.

A do-everything multivitamin-and-mineral pill is pennies per day[0], so we could very easily just require them to be added — and in some cases we already have: UK cereals, back when I was there, often advertised "fortified with 7…" (or was it 8?) "…vitamins and minerals".

I got the impression it was a legal requirement they'd tried to pretend was a special feature.

This isn’t that different to semi conductors, we’re at about the range of single atom doping already.

If this does prove as a path to high temperature super conductivity under normal or at least achievable pressures then it would open a whole new world of potential materials for material scientists to explore.

Our understanding of superconductivity is already incomplete we do not have a working theory for current high temperature (~100k) superconductors either.

Refugee camps mean sanitation problems. Hygiene is always an issue. These cardboard beds as absorbant, impossible to clean, and full of void spaces. And as paper they are likely even edible by something unpleasant. They will quickly become literal nests for everything but humans.

For a refugee camp you want hard surfaces that can be sprayed with bleech and no uncleanable crevices or voids. In most any refugee situaion, these things will become roach and rat motels within days.
You can do that if you have full control over the toolchain.

For example I ran into this issue with the AWS C++ SDK ( https://github.com/aws/aws-sdk-cpp/ ). And then I had to go into several CMake files and remove Werror. What do I as a user care about warnings? Can I only use that SDK once I have fixed (probably more like silenced) all the warnings?

At least they added a option now after a few years of this annoyance: https://github.com/aws/aws-sdk-cpp/issues/2555

They are good at producing products that people willingly purchase and consume. It is voluntary.

It's not leniency in words. I see images in my mind, with colour and shape. I'd go so far as to say these are literal images. Dreams at night are like participating in a movie, with animations and sounds.

I think about other senses like smell, sound, touch, and taste. I can imagine sounds very clearly in my mind. I can also imagine very well how something would feel to touch, to the point where the imagination is almost as clear as the real thing.

However, what I can do for images, touch, and sounds, I cannot do for taste and smell. And this helps me to appreciate something of what 'aphantasia' might be like, though with different sensations.

I have a question I like to ask people, that I think helps show some external measurable consequence of this. I ask people to tell me how many doors there are going off the hall in their house (it may help you to take a moment to try answering before reading the next part).

For myself, and many others, we imagine a picture in our mind of us standing in the hall, and in the picture we just 'look' around and count off the doors. However, I made an error and missed a door when I did the counting, I forgot to count the door that was behind where I imagined myself standing in the hall, because I couldn't "see" it.

I asked someone with aphantasia this same question, because I couldn't understand how they could answer it (I'm a very visual thinker). He told me (if I understand right) that he does something like tell a story via words, and uses that to somehow enumerate the doors and answer the question. Perhaps his strategy is prone to analogous mistakes like mine, but presumably not the same mistake.

There are various precious metal trading companies that will buy the bullion from you at close to spot if it's kept in its original assay and has documentation. If not in assay, they will have to test its purity and potentially remelt it so that adds to the spread.
I never wanted this tests and never requested them, in fact I have no idea how to tell USPS to send me those. It is possible that is a simple form ? Good chance that either someone entered my address incrorrectly or local USPS has some target they need to meet.
In my experience the ex risk people understand that using science fiction examples makes a weak argument, and avoid them entirely.

It is the other people who use the age-old argument of "something like what you are describing happened in a piece of fiction, therefore it could never happen in real life".
Such a niche map is something that is very hard to pull of. You need a community of millions to contribute geodata, so if such a map is not based on OpenStreetMap, it is destined to whither after a few years.

But, don't fret. This is precisely why I made https://mapcomplete.org, where you can create niche maps based on OpenStreetMap. This jumpstarts general information but has the possibility to add very niche questions. The added bonus is that, when you add e.g. a cafe, it'll be available in all other maps as well.

For this topic, I've added a filter to filter on 'has internet access'. I also added the question if a cafe offers electricity, but those haven't been marked in NYC yet; so here is a map with all cafes offering internet access: https://mapcomplete.org/cafes_and_pubs.html?z=9.8&lat=40.697...

There is an obscene amount of wealth being amassed while masking as virtue-signalling.

So many eco-friendly product variations at an unacceptable markup vs. production cost, and people are gobbling it all up without blinking, while being lightning-fast at pointing fingers at someone who tossed a tin can in the wrong recycle bin.

I think there should be more whistleblowing going around, personally it irks me how many people are profiteering from the eco movement.

Very annoyingly, the iPhone also has a way for the carrier to somehow disable the mobile hotspot feature of the phone for their sim.

On the mobile hotspot settings page it will just show a message with a link to the carriers website instead of the toggle to enable it, I find it really annoying since as you said I don't understand how there would be a difference in what the usage would look like to the carrier and it feels like Apple is imposing a restriction just for the benefit of the carrier that makes the phone less usable.
