Quite honestly, I can’t think of any that don’t give bad advice on passwords. It seems to be pretty universal that they aren’t aware of best practice and cargo-cult the bullshit instead.
It's a tradeoff, for example the German Girocard network is fundamentally built on top of SEPA so it is very low cost.

But that also means that it does not support features that credit card networks support like chargebacks or 3DS. For that reason it also doesn't work online.

This is a space that a lot of bank transfer payment schemes fit into: low cost, fast settlement, high risk.
I don't think I ever built anything, just looked at some files in the SDK iirc. My colleague did mention something about having to use memory handles since the system could move around memory from under you?
This would be true if wine was deliberately made worse quality in order to maximize some incentive behind manipulating alcoholics. I don't have a horse in this race, but this comparison misses the entire point of this particular counter to sports gambling. The sports in question are, purportedly, made worse - the outcome changed in arbitrary ways disconnected from the spirit of nature of the sport - in order to maximize the profits of the incredibly wealthy. There is no way to escape this when enjoying the sport; if deliberately throwing is rampant, you would always have to ask if a player's mistake was genuine, and your emotional investment in a game is poisoned as a result. Likewise, the comparison would be that no wine is immune from this kind of quality reduction. Eventually, a wine drinker will drink wine which has been reduced in quality on purpose.

What's the purpose of going to the extreme of having no stuff, anyway? I like to have a collection of tools and parts as well as a collection of books. As a child, I could find books in our collection at home, and when visiting friends with a book collection, I like to browse it and ask about some of the books. I have and use an e-reader, but the reading experience is a little worse and browsing is much worse.

mfs 2020 seems to do what it says on the label - be a simulator.

the entire point of a simulator is to give you the sandbox to do whatever you want while having as near of a realistic experience as possible.

if they try to add these things to the mix, i assume it is to make it more accessible to game pass audience, who might not shell out the full price just to try it out.

for many who love to play this genre, especially content creators, instead of expecting the game to give a storyline, they make their own! like for me it would be trying the 787 in the air routes where the landing strips do not support large planes for a hypothetical scenario, for example.

it not quite the same, but your own creativity is what give games like minecraft so much longevity. on the other hand, once you finish a "career mode" (as proposed for mfs 2024), you may not be motivated to restart.

Really nice little game! I instantly got addicted to it, but managed to "beat" it already on the second of two very long tries, so maybe a tad bit too easy? Some observations:

- I noticed very late that the king will actually "kill" (or capture in chess terms) my pieces if "cornered". While this is a nice feature, even if it doesn't happen when the player is just one step away from losing, it still prolongs the game even more.

- I also noticed very late that I can win the game by capturing the king with a 1024 piece (in my case it was a queen). I only found out because I got into the habit of selecting all pieces in turn to check what moves were possible. I hope I'm not spoilering right now :)

- Would be nice if you could capture a screenshot of the final board without the "you win" overlay. I don't have a Twitter account and no, I'm not going to create one just for this game ;)

- Also would be nice if the score (maybe also the current highscore, like in 2048) would be shown somewhere during the game, not just at the end.

- One nice feature is that the game remembers the current state if you leave the browser tab open, so you can shut down your PC and return to it the next morning - badly needed also, because the games are really long...
I'd push back on the idea that gambling is inherently harmful. Gambling can be done at a scale where it is essentially play. It is particularly gambling against corporations or other non-individual actors, in games that they rig to be perpetually -EV, and market like crazy, that is inherently harmful.

> so removing competition ruins the sport

But now you're back to the original, curiously unanswered, question: Is there really that much gambling going on in the "little leagues"?

If not, for what reason do you think they are going to start rigging it? Hell, not even the WWE's explicit rigging has motivated high school wrestling to move in the same direction. This idea you have that sports are going to lose their competition seems to be completely unfounded.

Professional leagues may choose to rig or otherwise modify their events as they prioritize entertainment over sport, but they've always done that. In that sense, their play has always been "ruined". But that entertainment is not the sport.

Yes, correct. As in their degree of openness (not much) is what's letting them down. I see how you could have read it as I meant their too open, which I definitely don't think is the case!
The web site has a great design, reminiscent of both comic books and fast-food menus. High contrast, legible if quirky fonts, all this should contribute to a mass appeal.

No, they are trying to make sure that companies don't tell you something is yours that isn't.

Forbidding that would require forbidding rentals.
I think you confuse the real world for Ayn-Randistan. Local sports clubs don't need to make someone $5M/yr. They just need to provide sporting facilities, such as fields and tracks, to local sporters. They can be run by volunteers.

Likewise, running a business for a profit doesn't mean exploiting people to their ruin. If you can't make money ethically, you should do something else.
I'm not saying the USA should stop being a democracy, or even being capitalist, like China didn't change its system of government in 1990. What I'm saying is its fundamental beliefs, goals derived from those beliefs, and systems designed around those goals —even within the same political and economic system that currently exists— could use an update.

Let me put it this way. Everyone has heard of Maoism [1] of course. There's also Dengism, which does claims to not reject Marxism–Leninism or Maoism, but instead adapt them to the times China was going through [2]. Turns out what Mao believed might or might not be true, but it certainly wasn't working. A change in system of government wasn't needed, but a change in philosophy was.

Now Xi'ism [3] has been taking shape, and rightly so. The world, and China's place in it, are very different from where they were two decades ago. It doesn't seem to far-fetched to re-think what the purpose of that government is, what it believes to be true, and to figure out how to shape policy around it.

To give another example closer to the USA, in 2022 Mexican President Obrador held a rally, where outlined the philosophy of his political movement. Inheriting largely from what people had been calling Obradorism, he defined Mexican Humanism, which takes from the general current of mumanism but adapts it to the moral and ethic values, the needs, and other philosophical currents of Mexican politics [4].

It just seems to be there haven't been fundamental "-isms" in the USA in a while. The philosophy is the same. The USA considers its position in the world the same. The game the country is playing, it's purpose in the world, it's goals all seem the same as they did last century. All we get is "Bidenomics" or "Trumponomics", which are not so much philosophies, but just different ways of spending money within the confines of the same set of beliefs— corporatism, neoliberalism, hegemonism in the exterior, political nationalism in the interior.

IMO presidents and candidates here just seem to have so little substance in ideology. Bernie is the most recent one I can think that really talked ideology, and spoke widely about democratic socialism. He wasn't talking about tearing the constitution, just about thinking of different goals within the same framework of government.

I'm not surprised that "identity politics" takes over instead, and people come to worry about where the grandparents of a candidate were born. If candidates give you little philosophy to relate to, I guess you have to assume their philosophy based on their skin color.

I can confirm this, personally. Time and time again after struggling with a problem at my desk I get up and walk and the solution pops into my brain. Sometimes it's a long walk in the park and sometimes it's just going out to lunch, but it usually works. It doesn't really even have to be a walk, quite often the solution comes to me in the shower. I always chalked it up to not thinking about it and letting my brain figure it out. I guess I was right too.
That's the thing.

Yes, I often find all the retro stuff really cool and it's nice what was done with such little hardware, back in the days, but do we really need that? I doubt it. Yes, save the fundamentals, save part of the history, but not everything
People highly underestimate the number of 18-21 year olds sports gambling. At college it seems like slightly over 50% of the guys I meet do. Some just using pick 'ems but it's not uncommon for them to use their parents identity to get on real sport books. The somewhat "nerdy" ones also just use crypto. Some are terribly in the gutter, I told my friend that India was all but guaranteed to win the chess olympiad and he bet on it somehow...

N26 (Berlin), Revolut (London), and Trade Republic (Berlin) are all fintech startups based in Europe (Europe != EU, as per North America != USA). This story is mainly about the EU, but the UK was a non-trivial part of the EU tech scene before Brexit and Revolut was part of that scene and has offices in Lithuania and got a proper bank license in the EU three years before it got one in the UK.

> The step further for this is open ledger, which comes to politics. Even in the EU we are worried that if someone runs this system, the "evil" countries like Hungary will exploit it, suck in all your personal data and sell to Russians.

One or two problems there, depending on how you split them:

1) To avoid your data being sold to the Russians, you'll give it away for free?

2) The very fact that bank ledgers are not open, prevents one country — Hungary in your example — from having access to all of them.
thank you, really appreciate it that helps me a lot! Currently I would be the only one starting this project and maintaining it. Everyone else is working on php and not transitioning to the forntend.

Two interesting things that I noticed from the betting industry:

1) In Brazil there's an entire industry of athlete's from lower divisions and agents that sells transient results that is taken in consideration in the bets.

For instance, number of corner kicks, number of fouls, yellow cards and so on. It's hard to trace it back the intention and there's a player from the National Team being investigated due to betting patterns [1].

With 80% of players earning less than USD 300 [2] when someone have the offer to take USD 10000 to receive 3 yellow cards in 5 games, it's hard to say no for those guys.

2) The problem that I see with the regulation is that not only in the sporting and social aspects (that is bad) but the money laundering and the lack of tracing in the money that goes in bet houses.

For instance, Germany has some regulation around the topic [3] but the reality if you go in some Tipico or some small bet house you can carry EUR 10000 and bet in anything, no questions asked; that's the reason why a lot of people around the world come to Germany for sports betting [4].

Anecdotally speaking, an old colleague used to manage some players in Brazilian 3rd division and he had some connections with folks in places like Germany. Before the game he already knew the bets and then just told to the players what needs to be done (e.g. I want a penalty kick after 80min, or a yellow card before 70 minutes) and after the bet being payed the agent just passed the money to the players (more or less 30%).

That still doesn't mean you spend zero on average. I assume pretty much all your clothes are less than ten years old. To have a 3.5€/year average, all the clothes you own would need to have costed at most 35€ total, which is clearly unrealistic.

Though 35€/year maybe is achievable, especially if you get/wear shirts, hoodies, maybe even shoes from conferences or company events.

You probably at least still need a decent pair of shoes, one set of nice clothes, a jacket, pants, and underwear. 350€ to get that stuff for ten years still sounds very tight but maybe possible.

In 2024, Bristol Myers Squibb purchased the drug from Karuna for US$14 billion.

Bristol Myers Squibb set the wholesale cost of the combo at $1,850 a month.

The effectiveness of xanomeline/trospium chloride for the treatment of schizophrenia in adults was evaluated in two studies with identical designs.

Study 1 and study 2 were 5-week, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multi-center studies in adults with a diagnosis of schizophrenia according to DSM-5 criteria.

I am fully aware that all antipsychotics are basically chemical coshes and there is no evidence that they actually work to cure psychiatric illnesses in the long term.
I have to think that whatever they're using this for, it could be done at a much lower data resolution.
I'd add another point to your list: decades of wage depression by rabid unchecked globalization, in urban areas combined with ever more power going to landlords.

Requiring they pay the for-profit company to access non-profit resources seems problematic.
It's only an addiction if it becomes one. If you prevent it, you've solved the problem before it became one, which is usually the most effective way of solving problems.

For instance, Portugal had a crisis 25 years ago with sky high number of drug related deaths, HIV infections etc. The solution was decriminalization and education, e.g. about sharing syringes. And it worked, they went from the worst I drug related deaths to best. Heroin is still bad for you and I guess people still use drugs, but at least the outcome is not catastrophic anymore.

So yes, I do think education cures a lot of problems.

Consider 100% linen or a blend as well for hot summer days. I have a few short-sleeve linen shirts which are great for days over 28°C. Linen has a coarser weave than cotton, and breathes even better. It can handle sweat better too (dries faster when wearing).

I don't have a dryer, so all my clothes are hung to dry. Jeans tend to go in the seat first. I think I average eight years or so, wearing jeans most of the year.

That's not right, many gamblers don't even have a family. Are you saying people's lives should be regulated so that they don't spend their money in ways that their family wouldn't want it spent? I mean, last I checked, divorce, emancipation is still allowed.

How can we regulate what a person does with their hard earned wages from their labor and precious time and then still claim that person has liberties of any kind? If you think about it, this is the one and only fundamental liberty that is foundational to all other liberties.

Even slaves get food and shelter as well as some freedom of movement and expression. What they don't get is to be able to buy what they want and own it.
