Really? WOW!

After some research: Yes, you're thinking of Battlezone (1998), a sci-fi game developed by Activision that includes a plot about a breakaway civilization. In this first-person shooter/real-time strategy hybrid, a covert space race unfolds between the U.S. and Soviet Union during the Cold War. The plot reveals that both superpowers discovered a mysterious bio-metal on the Moon and Mars, which led them to develop advanced technologies far beyond what is available on Earth. This triggers a secret battle for dominance in space, particularly on Mars and other celestial bodies.

The story builds up to the idea of hidden, advanced tech and a breakaway society-like structure, with the various factions vying for control of extraterrestrial resources and power. Mars serves as one of the major battlegrounds, and the breakaway civilization theme is interwoven into the covert war that's kept hidden from the general population of Earth.

Similar but not exact. So doesn't rise to the level of "must have lifted from the game". However, it's also similar to the plot of DOOM (grunt has to repel demon invasion from secret research outpost on mars), and Bioforge. And a whole bunch of other great 90s sci-fi stuff. Those were the days! Hahaha :)

same argument can be made about excessive athlete salaries and really any sports related business ventures. Athletes go after specific stats to hit contract goals, get their bonuses and live good lives. Gambling industry is just one of the hundred detractors to the sport itself.

That picture is scary, but it's not showing him nearly dying - it's showing the HALO device doing exactly why it was added.

I'm not denying motorsports are dangerous - particularly F1 - but it has become much, much, much safer over the past 10-15 years.
It was incredible. One of the things we saw randomly that we wish we could see again.
This looks like an enterprise solution, because why would you install such a locked-down OS on your personal computers? Experienced users don't usually screw up their systems to need this thing, and new users don't touch the dangerous settings in the first place.

But the website makes no effort to relate to enterprise-level administration. Strange.
I don't think it's that ingenious - many teams have been working on the wing flex for a long time. Red Bull famously in 2011 and 2017 for example.

The McLaren F-duct, the Mercedes toe-in reducing steering wheel, and asymmetric braking systems in the 1990s McLarens and supposedly this year's Red Bulls were examples of true ingenuity, I think.

This is how most of the YouTube clients work. They shipped a strip down web renderer (I forget if based off chrome or not) with an extremely stripped down set of HTML/CSS/JS features - just enough to run the YouTube UI.

I met up with some old college friends on a trip after 20 years of not seeing them, and all they wanted to do on Saturday and Sunday was sit around, watch football on TV, and talk about their bets.

No one was going for any team in particular. They were cheering for their bets to win. I lost all interest in the idea of me ever gambling after that.

There are certains sports I love to watch because I love the game. Gambling would ruin that for me. No thanks.
My thoughts exactly; I recall stumbling across libgen back in 2018 - it even had a user forum; back then it was clearly just a one-person operation. I got the impression it was someone who liked collecting, organising and sharing PDFs that interested them. And then with time it, the site blew up in popularity.

> If consumers are dumb enough to buy such machines, then that's what they should get.

In some markets they don't have much of a choice. I want a dumb TV, but good luck finding one without looking into digital signage, where it might not have built in speakers. The costs start rising extremely quickly to buy based on principle.

> inkjets have a slightly lower initial price

Most people shop on price. But it's not just the initial price, it's also the toner. I just looked up a color laser printer vs inkjet. 2 random ones near the top of Amazon's results.

Laser: $249 + $155 for more toner (Brother printer and toner)

InkJet: $199 + $22 for more ink (Epson ecotank with generic ink)

Or.. InkJet: $70 + $35 for more ink (HP printer with HP ink)

People are going to see this and think they can by a new printer for the price of just getting new toner for the laser.

The key, as I'm sure you know, is the yield on the laser refill is 3,000 sheets vs the HP's ~100 sheets. But the ink on the ecotank refill is claiming 7,500 sheets. So do they want to pay $155 for 3,000 or $22 for 7,500?

It's not so cut and dry and very few people care enough about printers to look that closely into it. They are busy with other stuff.
Maybe at this scale.

But unfortunately charities and not-for-profits putting their core business into a company, and then eventually selling it off is not unprecedented. For example, The Raspberry Pi Foundation was a not-for-profit organisation around Raspberry Pi. They formed a LLC for their commercial operations, then gradually sold it off before eventually announcing an IPO: https://www.raspberrypi.org/blog/what-would-an-ipo-mean-for-....

I think it is terrible that not-for-profits are just being used as incubators for companies that eventually take the core mission and stop primarily serving the public interest.

There are of course other examples of charities or not-for-profits that put part of their core operations in a company and don't sell out, instead retaining 100% ownership - for example Mozilla. However, I think there should be some better way for impactful not-for-profits to have some revenue generating aspects in line with their mission (offset by allowing temporary surplus to cover future expenses, or by other expenses).

This is very cool and a very impressive effort.

I want to discuss though if "real" 3D is the right solution for such constrained platforms. The aliasing is quite extreme due to large pixels and lack of filtering. A more constrained 3D renderer or faking 3D with billboards may be better suited for these platforms. Then the aliasing can make it look more like pixel art than the unstructured noise a real render gives.

As a professional gambler (aka farmer) I understand I am biased, but I have a hard time squaring that society would improve if we all agreed my gambling habit is bad. Especially if that means going as far as a ban. What would people eat? If you think Mother Nature is going to give up her bookie position, you're wrong.

I am shocked that no one is talking about Teletext! I am guessing it wasn’t a thing in US or I am the oldest person to comment so far?

I had forgotten that Teletext existed until this post. And for those who know about BBSs, Teletext was the closest thing before modems.

I don’t remember seeing the wild Teletext Ascii art etc. as seen in the post though. UK seems to have had mad Teletext.
Or it's WP Engine being a jerk, and this is just a way to put some pressure on them.

Look at it this way - WordPress is the #1 platform for websites. It is a free, Open-source, and huge asset to the community. Are you going to shit on the guys who made it and gave it away because you have some sympathy for some overpriced, hosting company?

If the Wordpress team disappeared, it would be a tragedy. If WP Engine disappeared it would be nothing.
In my view, gambling should be a service provided directly by the government. And I'm not talking a "public-private partnership", but an actual DoG that will be taking bets, running gaming rooms in select cities etc. -- all with the explicit mandate to make of gambling available but boring. No bonuses, no ads, no promotions, no glitzy websites.

Gambling is inherently exploitative and no amount of regulation will align the incentives for commercial operators. You also don't want to ban it outright, as it may descend into the underground otherwise, so this looks like a reasonable area for the govt to take direct control.

Nearly every time I actually look at the data for something, I'm surprised by at least one result. Our intuition is often swayed by our emotion.

Sometimes people do things just because they find it interesting. Hobbies and projects are good. They don't all have to be "productive" in the traditional sense. And until the data is in, it's impossible to know how productive it might be.

With current storage technology, it's almost impossible for physical media size or price to become relevant, the human's ability to add to the collection just can't keep up, unless there are some truly extreme conditions, like they automate the collecting, or insist on uncompressed video.
Yes, the theory is that the USA should keep up with China and maintain a qualitative edge in order to contain them. Keep it up long enough and hopefully they will collapse or undergo an internal revolution, sort of like what happened to the USSR.

The internet is moving towards a place where it might not be possible to self-host anything important without getting DDoS'd. Companies like Cloudflare provide a solution to this problem, but that also creates a crutch that means no effort is expended to solve the problem at the root, which means the day may come when you don't have any option left other than Cloudflare.

I think these are important issues and worth talking about.
It is a great way to show which people care about security.

I equate (and I am likely not alone) that this would be a modern equivalent of chmod -R 777 / in early Unix computing.

Use of AppArmour/SElinux is probably a good filter during an interview to determine if a person is a good fit for a security conscious position.
You don't have a good handle on the problem.

It's not "individuals slipping through the cracks of society", it's society and the people who run it consuming people (or animals) as fuel. Progressive politics might only be as old as the Roosevelts but they have surprisingly deep historical roots[0].

The improvement in material conditions from, say, the 1500s to 2024 is a function of changes in the law that made it worthwhile to produce those improvements. Or, in other words, nobody is going to innovate in phone apps when they have to give 30% to Apple and Google. Back then, the "30%" would have been indentured servitude, debtors prisons, and so on. Innovation increased when serfdom ended and more people were able to innovate.

Innovation in an economy is a function of how many people have access to appropriate levels of capital. Which is itself a function of the distribution of wealth. An economy in which five people own everything is one where nobody can innovate outside of that system. An economy with redistributive effects - whether that be through government action or otherwise - is more productive at the expense of the growth prospects of the ultra-wealthy. Economies built to make one participant fatter are eating their seed corn.

I have no clue what you're going on about with infantilization. That seems like something downstream of several social trends.

It’s sad that you thought you had to explain it.
>> When things are outsourced due to some other country using slave labor or else their workers surviving on a tenth of what you make in the US, that is when you lose economies of scale.

There may be "Slave Labor" in some places, but the vast majority of people doing out-sourcing for US companies are very well paid (by local standards.) They are not "surviving" they are thriving.

living in the US is expensive. So prices go up to match. So wages go up. So materials go up. "National security" is expensive (and the US is obsessed by it.) 13% of the budget goes to the military. Protectionist tarrifs. Security theater like the TSA. All of this comes at a price.

The US has enjoyed a leadership role in world affairs, economic strength, influence etc for 75+ years. But it turns out that "expensive is the head that wears the crown".

I say this not as a criticism, merely as a statement of reality. Of course, whether it changes, or indeed even discussing if it should change is debatable.

> There is zero chance of China invading the US or vice versa. But this issue isn't about a ground war in either place, it's about a war in some 3rd place.

Agreed

> It needs them to project power into other parts of the world.

China can barely project power in its own backyard while the US has nearly a century of experience projecting around the world, with eleven carrier groups to China's two. Assuming they all get destroyed by hypersonic missiles within the first few months, the US still has military bases all over the world. As far as I know, China has zero military presence in the Western hemisphere except some surveillance balloons.

China may have a short term advantage in production and cost but the US has the advantage in every other area of logistics relevant to a military.

> Take Taiwan. If China invades there that represents a significant dilemma for the US. On balance, they'll likely make a token response, then fade away. Places where the US has enjoyed power (like the South China Sea) might be harder to protect.

Absolutely but it'd be a pyrrhic victory worth little except as domestic propaganda. If the US does help defend Taiwan, the invading Chinese fleet will likely be massacred. There's little room to hide in the 80 mile wide Taiwan strait against modern anti-ship and anti-aircraft weapons. China's only real advantage will likely be air power, which doesn't win wars without lots of boots on the ground.

> Does the US have the stomach for wars in Taiwan, Japan or Australia?

I'm not sure about Taiwan, but I don't think we'd let Japan or Australia slip into war without assistance. (but what do I know? :-))

Awful take from lobsters:

> The warranty thing is subtle, because open source software has developed an unwritten social contract that is different from what the license says.

No, it hasn't. Some entitled people expect paid software and support from a free product, and get confused and upset because they didn't bother to read the license.

> Authors who publish code are expected to take some responsibility for it, at minimum patching security issues, and reasonably guarding commit access to the repo.

Nope. License makes it extremely clear that no warranty is provided.
Why do you need a controller for any of that? Those are all point and click, with low precision and large hitboxes. Which is perfect for eye+hand. Almost every review says hand+eye is greatly intuitive, almost every user in the Vision Pro communities as well. Even Meta are using hands+eyes as the way forward.

What exactly are you missing that a controller gives you for those tasks?
Android DOES remember permissions for folders that you have opened previously through the picker (although the app does have to code for that); and you can reuse the URLs for files that you have received through the picker, as long as the permissions are still intact. (You can lose them if the app is used infrequently).

Life would be so much easier if the Android File Picker UI weren't so incredibly awful. Has to be the worst piece of UI design I have ever seen. Incredibly difficult to use even if you know exactly what you want.
