$1.45 - cold foam << That foam isn't going to make itself, so you have to charge to pay the employee making it. The equipment that makes it doesn't run on wishes, so you gotta charge for the electricity to run the equipment. The equipment doesn't clean itself, so you have to help pay for the cleaning fee since it was dirtied at your request.

$0.80 - syrup << Just like anything thing like beer/shots/etc. Things cost money when you buy in a retail with mark up. It's not rocket science. Ever paid for a shot? Of course you can buy a bottle for the same price as a round of shots for you and your mates.

As a side note, in all of those movies where someone is at the bar and then tells the bartender to "leave the bottle". Like, is that something you can actually do, and if so, what's the tab on that going to run? Of course, you're not supposed to think about the movie like that. I just can't help it.

Habits have momentum, and people aren't paying close attention to prices. They may not actually realize that the cost of fast food (FF) is now the cost of a sit down meal (SDM) at a full-service restaurant. So for a while FF feels cheaper than SDM even when it isn't, and FF chains can reap considerable benefits. They may retain the feeling of being affordable for many years after becoming not so. The same thing has happened with supermarket food prices: the cost of a steak at the supermarket now rivals the cost of an SDM, and all the trimmings and service. The price of an ordinary loaf of bread at places like Whole Foods is $8. But Trader Joe's prices and Costco prices have remained more-or-less constant.

Convenience.

In our house plain rice is a staple eaten with almost every meal and often associated with non-time-intensive meal prep (like reheating leftovers or eaten with eggs and some other toppings). So we like being able to start the rice and walk away.

Using our rice cooker makes "making rice" a 1 minute labor effort with absolutely no monitoring needed. You can't burn it. You're welcome to forget about it. You can barely mess it up.

In our case the rice maker is a 25 year old simple magnet kind. Not one of the expensive pressure cookers. This style of rice maker can be bought for as little as ~$30 and is super-convenient if you eat a lot of rice. Just don't get the non-stick pots if you buy one - they aren't needed and they don't last for more than a couple of years.

OK. I enjoyed the mental exercise though, thanks for that. Also, as someone who's formally studied philosophy, I'd say there is definitely value in thought experiments, particularly as I think we got to an objective level in this case, though we started with the subjective. And determining universal (objective) rules are valued as they usually help guide us to truth, and/or point to ideals to strive for.

Consultants are hired because hiring consultants is the first advice that consultants generate. Its a recursive loop of scamming government money on undeliverable projects.

This whole boogeyman over "unfireable" government employees is nonsense created by people looking to sell private contracts. Most consultants when hired somehow themselves become unfireable and even more expensive for basic work that could be done by competent employees with a decent paycheque and union jobs.

Would be great if there was a non-profit that kept track of inflation per country and suggested the appropriate yearly wage increase for all workers. Or at least let people know how much their relative salary is decreasing when it stays the same.

Except statute and common law can define intent using prima facia definitions. In PA it's considered prima facia evidence as defined in statute that you're hunting if you're walking in the woods with a gun. Doesn't matter your true intent. If you removed an item from a store without paying for it, that's prima facia evidence of shoplifting defined in common law. Again, true intent doesn't matter. The courts will even create president that goes against statute just to make conviction easier - the statute for dog control says it must be "under reasonable control". Instead the courts have ruled that it is a strict liability offense and not subject to the reasonable standard.

So yeah, there's a lot of miscarriage of justice, or at least potential for it. Nobody really cares until it happens to them.
I don't see WASM/WebGPU changing anything when it comes to gaming, as an industry, personally. 3d visualizations and interactive websites? Yeah definitely a nice improvement over WebGL 2, if years late. The OP's experience with Adobe is a great example of this.

WebGPU is pretty far behind what AAA games are using even as of 6 years ago. There's extra overhead and security in the WebGPU spec that AAA games do not want. Browsers do not lend themselves to downloading 300gb of assets.

Additionally, indie devs aren't using Steam for the technical capabilities. It's purely about marketshare. Video games are a highly saturated market. The users are all on Steam, getting their recommendations from Steam, and buying games in Steam sales. Hence all the indie developers publish to Steam. I don't see a web browser being appealing as a platform, because there's no way for developers to advertise to users.

That's also only indie games. AAA games use their own launchers, because they don't _need_ the discoverability from being on Steam. So they don't, and avoid the fees. If anything users _want_ the Steam monopoly, because they like the platform, and hate the walled garden launchers from AAA companies.

EDIT: As a concrete example of the type of problem's WASM for games face, see this issue we discovered (can't unload memory after you've loaded it, meaning you can never save memory by dropping the asset data after uploading assets to the GPU, unless you load your assets in a very specific, otherwise suboptimal sequence): https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/issues/12057#issuecomment...

(I work on high end rendering features for the Bevy game engine https://bevyengine.org, and have extensive experience with WebGPU)
No. I’m not talking about enforcement of anti-trust laws as passed by congress. Do some research about Khan’s own theories and you’ll know what I’m talking about.

Choosing not to commission a show on a particular subject, is not censorship.

And Khan is simply wrong in the claim you quoted. In fact it’s absurd. There is no shortage of commentary on both AI, and China. Apple chose not to buy a few shows about these topics from one person - that’s all. The fact that Khan claims this is ‘dangerous’, when you can literally watch any commentary you like including hers on Apple’s platforms shows that she is out of touch with reality.
So you think they make less than $4 an hour now then? That is the only way your estimate makes any sense.

That is a silly analogy. Fridges don't have an ongoing costs to the manufacturer. To be the equivalent of games, the fridge would have to come with an implicit promise that the manufacturer will pay for the electricity use of the fridge. You would then effectively be arguing that the manufacturer is obligated to send you a free generator if they went bankrupt.

Another entry in the 1950s to 1980s time frame: The Songs of Distant Earth by Clarke.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Songs_of_Distant_Earth

> The Songs of Distant Earth is a 1986 science fiction novel by British writer Arthur C. Clarke, based upon his 1958 short story of the same title. He stated that it was his favourite of all his novels. Clarke also wrote a short step outline with the same title, published in Omni magazine and anthologised in The Sentinel in 1983.

> The novel tells of a utopian human colony in the far future that is visited by travellers from a doomed Earth, as the Sun has gone nova. The Songs of Distant Earth explores apocalyptic, atheistic, and utopian ideas, as well as the effects of long-term interstellar travel and extra-terrestrial life. The story is set in the 39th century and follows the journey of a spaceship called the Magellan as it carries a group of colonists to a distant planet, Thalassa. Thalassa is one of the few habitable planets discovered by Earth’s automated spacecraft, and it becomes a refuge for humanity facing the impending destruction of Earth due to a massive solar flare.
I agree with your statement that just focusing on the numbers will not allow us to do a realistic assessment of most businesses. However, and unfortunately, that is the yardstick used the most often. In fact, one of the criticisms about Welch is his strategy to use legal but questionable accounting techniques to make GE look better than it was.

Based on the publicly available information about Boeing, Dave definitely didn't leave the company that is significantly better off. The stock price is much lower than when he took over and there have been major write-offs on the 777x program.

To be fair to the man, some of these issues can also be attributed to the COVID pandemic, the Ukraine war, etc.

> The vast majority of the users don't need to do anything, and if they change [to any upcoming fork], it's for ideological, not licensing (concrete), reasons.

This is simply not true. Most normal users are not directly affected but this change, but if they previously used AWS to host Redis, they would now be affected. A big point of open source is that you can find competing hosts to give you the best service, but Redis would want it so that only they are allowed to sell hosting service meaning that you don't have competition. This directly affects users.

Also, it's important to note that Matt Asay works for MongoDB. His paycheck comes from a similar business model as Redis.

---

I think a lot of people are missing the issue here. Let me summarize my own take on this:

1. Redis is no longer open source under any reasonable definition (note that SSPL has very important distinctions from AGPL. They are not the same). And yet companies like Redis/MongoDB/ElasticSearch keeps trying to say they are "open source" and try to change the meaning of the term. It's virtue signaling without adopting the virtue. Lots of beloved companies are proprietary. They should just come out and say they are proprietary and be done with it.

2. Redis performed a rug pull. They previously released they source under BSD which is what attracted users and contributors, then once it became popular they changed the license (which they can legally do because they forced contributors to sign CLAs). Would contributors like Madelyn Olson (who works for Amazon) contributed to Reddis on her free time if it was under SSPL right off the bat? I highly doubt it. Redis knew that as a newcomer they had to parrot "we love open source" but once popular enough they can now force people to put up because of inertia.

I think it's fine to be proprietary, but I would trust a company much more if they don't try to change it midway through, or keep saying BS like how they still embrace open source (which is intellectually dishonest).

>Sure, there will be some edge cases where it really is impossible to disentangle from a live, profitable other game - but I would wager the vast majority of games could be covered with very low effort.

I don't think we should be making laws in which "there will be some edge cases where it really is impossible" to comply. I get and empathize with the spirit, but you and the people behind this campaign can't just dismiss the complexities involved here with "I would wager" type responses. It shows a lack of insight into the realities of both game development and legislation.

Your "not a rosy picture" feels like a weird take on a steady 25% YOY (where not higher, see 2020's 300%) increase in profits (net, not gross). The one outlier was 2021, and ties in directly with the pandemic.

That's ridiculously solid growth that would make any accountant dance in joy, especially in the food service industry.
Uniqlo checkout experience is really how self-checkout should be look like, but unfortunately relies on controlling the manufacturing of all products to implement efficiently.

The closest thing I've seen in a convenience store, was a fully automated 7-Eleven that I ran across in Taipei last year. It seems to rely on smart shelves[1], rather than just product video recognition. This could work for most types of groceries.

This is an ironic example. Countries are a social/political construct. Whether a country even exists (Taiwan, micronations, various other countries) depends on who you ask, as does the boundaries of the border. Countries do not exist in any physical sense. Indeed countries and race are very tied to each other and exist about equally. Even if you pretend that culture is a physical thing, you'll find that cultures don't align with the borders of Nation-states properly either.

Society exists, and it has (often serious) repercussions but it isn't an inherent physical property of geography or genetics.
Pretty much. I think it's the whole virtue signaling and intellectual hand wavy dishonesty that really bugs me about these companies. They want to have the cake and eat it too.

Do companies like Apple say macOS is open source (I mean the entire OS, not just Darwin)? No. Some people are fine with it because we know this.
That doesn’t answer my question.

My question is on how the game is built. Is the single player simply not working due to the entire game requiring being online or is there a part of the single player that relies on something that is online to work at all.

As in, is all of the necessary code to run the single player actually on the disk or not? No amount of showing me gameplay is going to answer this question unless someone has actually looked at the game itself or the network activity to determine what is actually happenjng.

That's happened maybe 4 or 5 times to me in the 200 trips or so (estimated, once a week for years) I've made since I started using the self-checkout every time.

He's also long talked about the US being ripped off. Did his social media aspirations start in the 80s when he was talking about possibly running for president?

This seems less like "not a single line of code" and more "all the code comes from the database".

But not everything about an app is in the DB. Since this is "just the DB", the interface seems like an HTML/JS version of a DB UI (Sequel Pro, DBeaver, etc) which is a good place to start. But for an Admin app, I want to be able to ADD actually relevant only to my business logic extensions and enhancements.

Can I add more functionality to a Dashpress once it's set up? Can I plug other behaviors into it? Cause that's the value I want, otherwise I can get a nice table level view from any DB client tool I happen to have.
