Once upon a time the DM would entertain a party of 2 or more with a plot he had specifically written for that day, with elaborate maps and sometimes illustrations.

Books didn't have the interactivity, Hollywood too, they also didn't make films long enough and feared complicated stories, computer games copied character development, eventually got mind blowing graphics that got even better shortly after.

With just 3 DM's and 3 map editors you should be able to create 24 hours worth of new adventures every day but I'm not aware of anyone doing that. Diablo 2 had fabulous game mechanics and great graphics but the tiny amount of content for it was rather shocking for any DM. Later games did get open worlds with plenty to do but if anyone generated maps they got repetitive soon.

Popular TV series keep making new episodes without a real story that has a beginning a middle and an end. Startrek was possibly the exception but they more often than not wanted the story to happen in a single episode (like movies)

In role playing games you were to get long fascinating adventures one after the other.

I imagine, if one can generate plot lines, graphics, music and personalities automatically a group of writers and a director or possibly a single DM (depending on his skill level) could continuously develop adventures in real time for the AI to glue together. Have a bunch of critical testers of various skill levels.

New adventures all the time and delete them after a few hours.

The big computer is to make sure no content resembles anything made before. It turns adventures that take hours into narrated short fly-though overviews that can be used to demonstrate similarity but can also be combined into lengthy cinematics to bring players who just logged in up to speed on what is going on.

There should be "players" who only log in to watch the cinematics. It should be that good. It should be good enough to put an hour worth on Netflix every 12 hours. Good enough to generate a comic and to publish a book every month.

Character development should grow similarly with new things every day and old things vanishing in a fog...

Mnyeah, for me the Windows 10 tiling was just right. In Windows 11 it's way too fiddly. Like every time I tile a window say to the left half of the screen (WIN + <-) it brings up every other window as an option to tile to the right half even if I already have a window tiled there.

There's other fiddlyness but I can't be bothered now. I need to make a list so I can kvetch properly about it, with bullet points and all. And references.

But overall I'm sorry to say even Win 11 is still better at tiling windows than almost anything I've tried on Linux (I had Xmonad on a laptop way back when and that was actually quite good). Though of course there's always text mode with Midnight Commander so :P

Was the rent increased? Yes.

By how much? By enough to hurt the restaraunts. I'd be happy to hear from you the specifics of how much it was increased, per-restaurant, if that's what you're referring to.

Was it worse for the individual restaraunts than not jacking up the rent? Yes, paying more is worse than paying less.

Was it worse than not being bought out by PE? Probably, but that's the sort of prophesizing about what would have happened had reality been different, in which I'm not interested in participating. What we do know is that a lot of value was extracted from Red Lobster into the pockets of PE, leaving the company a withered husk of its former self, a common PE playbook.
I answered this, the last time this article was submitted, yesterday.

The Australian health care system which is a mix of government-funded care for everybody, including the rich. And privately-funded healthcare for those that can afford more convenience.

Which means that everybody can receive free healthcare from doctors and hospitals. And your private health insurance can cut queue times for elective surgeries.

I made the point that my cardiac bypass surgery 19 years ago which entailed the surgery itself, the two days in ICU, and another 3-4 days in a private room cost me absolutely nothing 'out of pocket'. Total cost was of the order of about $120,000 which was borne both by the government-funded part of the healthcare system and also by my private health insurance.

Yes I paid for some of that, with a health-levy on my taxes, and my private insurance premiums which covered both my wife and me and cost (then) about $3000 per year.
We do have some tiling WM, not DE ok, but still enough. Casual users who want DEs are typically former Windows users who have no idea about tiling concept and current sorry state of GNU/Linux DEs it's definitively not good to teach anyone anything except instability, arrogance etc. Bold terms, I know, but the right terms IMVHO when we talk about Gnome or Kde DEs now.

Tiling is VERY good for a PROPER desktop, but actually we miss a proper desktop for the masses, we have Emacs/EXWM, but most X11-based apps can't be sane, proper desktop apps being simply widget based or WebVM-based apps. A proper desktop app is something easy to bend by the user, flexible, automatable, not a rigid tool where the user can't do much more than clicking around and have only cut/copy/paste IPCs and even very limited.

So, if I'm understanding what you're saying: The article is referring to a sector of the economy that is essentially undefinable and using statistics they somehow derived about that undefinable sector to argue that San Francisco is the center of said undefinable sector.

American Radio Relay League Paid $1M to Ransomware Gang – SecurityWeek
There's a difference between your framing of "gorging and binging" on food and the fact being that portion sizes in American are just not sustainable for many people. If a meal at a restaurant is 1000 calories, and drinks are 200 each... is having a meal and two drinks gorging or binging? I would argue no, but 1400cal in a meal is almost certainly going to lead to excess if you have even somewhat normal food the rest of the day.

I'm not suggesting that having a pill that allows you to eat unlimited amounts of food without consequence would be "heaven on earth", I'm just saying that for most people's lifestyles you are placed into an environment that by default will lead to over consumption. That's the sacrifice. You cannot choose the default behavior anymore, and it requires foresight, thought, and planning to execute. All of that is unfortunate, because it is not easy especially if you're not used to it.

The thing is, work has always been dull and a chore. I think what's different is now basically everybody works, and home and relationships are secondary to "your career" especially two income households. It sucks and it's hollow if you try to revolve your life around a job.
I think the major differentiator here is that in the examples provided, everyone has access ( even if it is for a price ). When it comes of equifac work number or realpage data, it seems to be available to only a subset of population, which is problematic. I want to know what a given corporation is paying.

I have found over the years that trying new software risks immediately running into a road block in real use. There will be some detail or complexity or bug on a semi-basic requirement that goes directly to an issue in github.

Dokku is not one of those, it does what it does well and aside from a couple of cli argument ordering quirks it's been great for my light usage. If I was using it more I'd probably want to configure entire architectures with declarative config files, I have no idea if it can do that though.
Honestly I probably shouldn't have qualified it with in practice. They're both floating signifiers in theory and practice.

The thing is, Hopper said this in 1982. This was a time when, to keep stretching the analogy, it wasn't hard to find a second ox, but yokes were still flaky bleeding edge technology that mostly didn't work very well in practice.

One potentially more likely solution back in the day was to just accept the job was going to take a while. This would be analogous to using a block and tackle. The ox can do the job but they're going to pull for twice as long to get it done. Imagine pulleys cost $10, but a second ox costs $1000 and a yoke costs $5000, and getting the job done in less time is not worth $5,990 to you.

As an aside from your core point about tech, I don't think Harry Potter's universe is particularly well-designed or thoughtful. I mean, I haven't actually read Harry Potter, but having watched the movies and talked to my son who has read the books a few times, the magic system seems entirely inconsistent and capricious, and is one of my bigger gripes with the story coming from more mature authors like Brandon Sanderson that build out much more consistent and believable fantasy worlds.

I have no idea whether this will affect the work's longevity, but it sure affects my desire to read it.

Ask HN: Why does Google thinks it's okay to store users plain text passwords?
So I was just in the process of handling the aftermath of the theft of one of my relative's phone. Not a tech-savvy person, I'd say they're more or less as knowledgeable as the average Google user.

When checking what could be blocked from their google account, I realized that 60 of their saved passwords/mails were available in plain text when connecting to their google account from a new laptop(with no other input than mail and password), it's even exportable to a nice csv. This apparently seems to be default behavior.

Isn't that insane?

Am I naive to just realize that this is apparently normal to have this kind of stupid design from a trillion dollar tech company?

Is there any sane way of explaining why anyone could have thought that this was an acceptable idea?
I really feel like amazon does themselves a disservice by mixing paid for content in with the 'free with prime' content. By not clearly differentiating which is which, I'm sure they make money from people just happy to have the content and willing to pay for it, but it pushes a lot of other people away from the service altogether, although maybe they are ok with that, since those people will still pay for prime for the free shipping.

Yeah, you have to force the results into strict JSON, enforce it, and handle a lot of error cases, and be prepared to give up or reroll on failure.

>How does this work in Manhattan? How about for a single apartment complex? It doesn’t scale.

Waste treatment system similar to many public systems. Charge by drain units, sewage pipe size, or maybe metered. Point is sewage treatment plant can be funded on individual apartment basis.

> works if you’re in a low density area benefiting from the taxes pulled from high density areas.

My area is far poorer than Manhattan but virtually everyone has a private septic system, and I've never seen poop in the street. You were previously paying for public poop now your just paying privately in lieu of publicly, and of course the homeless still probably shit in the street.

Also rural septic systems are almost never publicly funded.

>Something like 40% of Americans couldn’t field a $400 expense.

In practice in places like Manhattan you'd be paying for sewage monthly (when I lived in city that charged cost of sewage it was about 40 of my water bill). In rural areas septic is usually owned as part of mortgage or as debt services, if one cannot pay outright. All of which is amortized pretty close to real cost of sewage most anywhere.

>You’re in shock after discussing a place where it happens?

I'm in shock because having lived in areas that charge individually for sewage, the very few that don't spend the $1-$2 a day are either brutally poor or mentally ill, its just not a thing that people like you poop in the streets anyplace I've lived that charges near full rate for sewage treatment. As it were, the vast majority given the $1.40 a day to spare, will pay it to not have to poop outside or let it accumulate in their home, and if unable or unwilling to do so it is nearly always a symptom of something else that public sewers won't solve.

Indeed, I use my android tablet as a second screen for a Windows laptop and love it. No idea about headless displays though, I found the app superDisplay so just connect via usb cable and it all works like magic.

I've actually got a little clip thing that attaches the tablet to the side of my laptop screen so I can dual screen easier. Setup also works for watching Netflix on a tablet while using the laptop on a bed or couch... Only downside is the tablet pulls charge from the laptop so you get less battery life especially if the tablet isn't fully charged to start.

I used GA as a way to bootstrap into 'real' Clifford algebras, and a way to get over a "reader's block" when it came to Lie algebras, tensors, and (finally) algebraic geometry. I'm not sure GA is great math, but it was really great way to learn "advanced math concepts" for "basic..ish math". Personally, I like Alan MacDonald's GA books — they're a great way to learn more complicated concepts, but couched in a very approachable geometry/visual learning style.

> The war against Ukraine has overwhelming support among the population

Let me give some armchair analytics about "overwhelming support". In the beginning Putin promised that there will be no mobilization, yet later he mobilized an unknown amount of people. Also, he passed the laws allowing to recruit convicts from prisons and people under investigation (they are sent to most dangerous and deadly missions, often without proper cover and evacuation). Also the government raised a reward for signing a contract from somewhere around $4 500 to $20 000, and the recruitment posters are literally on every bus stop. All of this means only one thing - there is not enough volunteers.

So if you make a street interview maybe most of the people will express their wholehearted support for special operation (especially given that expressing disagreement might put you in trouble), and maybe they will even give you strong arguments why it was inevitable and justified. After all, over 80% of voters voted for Putin. But why those 80% do not want to join the military and help their brothers and support their leader in the frontline?

But on the other hand, there are no significant protests against the war. There were some protests in the first days, but they were not numerous and after approximately 15,000 people were arrested, they stopped.

So while there might be many people expressing the support for the war, they prefer to support it from the safe distance. War is necessary but can we please send someone else there?

> With compounding, the potential earnings of someone who is taxed but invests over 50 years of work compared to someone else that isn't taxed but does the same investments comes out to about 50% gains of the second over the first.

It might be too complicated to say. Someone who doesn't pay income tax, maybe. Depending on assumptions.

But I worked out at some point that >50% of my time spent working was being redirected towards the tax office - my income because it was taxed when I earned it (+ any stealthy payroll taxes), taxed again when it was spent and if it was invested in the middle it got taxed a third time for fake "capital gains" from money creation.

When you look at government spending (typically 40-50% of GDP in the West) and consider that most of that is probably malinvestment (by lack-of-alternatives-to-tax they're taking from the most economically productive members of society) you've probably lost more than half your wealth vs a no tax society. There is friction everywhere.
