The stated goal is to launch a rocket. But doing so hardly ever gave me a feeling of closure (excluding the 8h achievement speed-run) I got after finishing some story-based game and the "you won"-screen has a "keep playing&qu

An interesting aspect: Protesting a law should be possible without disobeying it. But the usual mass gatherings are kind of a problem in this specific situation. Thus how to protest responsibly? Holding a "Its just a Flu" poster w

Smoking isn't a fitting example. You can do whatever you want to yourself in your own home, but it is significantly restricted in public were it effects other people. It's obviously about calculated risk, but that is weighted ver

I hope I'm not even half the way to my deathbed and already regret how much time I spend on games (and the knock-on effects). It's not that playing games (incl Factorio) doesn't feel satisfying. But the time we have is pretty

Yes, Rimworld is easier to get into for many. "Survive" is a way more obvious and natural goal. But once I got more and more into the details, Rimworld was the one frustrating me. I probably just despise this kind of "Storyte

Totally get that. In RPGs I still sometimes have the habit of reloading if things don't go as planned and feel like this ruins the fun for me. Getting rid of engrained habits is hard :/ On the other hand, I really like having spag

It also gives users the trust of being able to run their preferred firmware on the hardware they own. Then they don't have to avoid upgrading as seen in e.g. this other HN comment [0]. I totally understand dev's wanting their cust

Real is the only bigger one I late last week was still able to buy from a decent selection of non-food stuff here in Berlin. Kind of funny, since this particular business model doesn't seem to have run that well in Germany pre-epidemic

But switching your ISP will take a week at best, likely multiple. Right now politicians don't want me to enjoy the perfect weather outside but instead to stay indoor and play online games or program something. Both I'm less likely

I'm not sure what the the "UK model" is, but schools don't seem to be closed there (are here in Germany) and I can't find good info about mass events being banned. The best term I found for Germany's policy is

Seems like they sold products below cost to drive out competition, with this apparently not being allowed in some US states / Germany, at least for staple food. https://ilsr.org/walmart-charged-predatory-pricing/

As someone from neither the US nor China, I'd prefer CAs from both (and more) coming to a consensus. "All but X declared this site fine" sounds a lot more convincing to me. Sure, down the line the owner of the site will still

If you want to solve this by designing systems: I found the Dutch [0] one quite interesting. The way I understand, citizens kind of vote for their preferred content providers with air time / resources distributed accordingly. But for m

Yeah, it is clear evidence that reddit and this subreddit are in open conflict for quite a while. I find it quite impressive admins didn't just end this spat, but instead go more creative routes like this one or creating quarantine mod

I'm more familiar with the solar aspect of Energiewende, but a goal was to kick-start an industry to make renewable energy viable in the first place. This couldn't happen without significant amounts of installation caused by polit

Keep in mind there is a difference between subsidies we have to pay now for existing installations but were promised years or decades ago when those were built (this seems to be what the article is mostly about) and those guaranteed payment

We don't really have to speculate, since energy production data is available [0]. There certainly was a lot of energy produced by wind turbines. About the same as last week (also quite windy). But the "entire countries are working

As you stated, everyone is already shaping the narrative. But right now nearly all of the power to do so is highly centralized at a very short list of companies. You already mentioned some tech companies, but I'd certainly also add a b

You're right with it not targeting the droneship directly from afar, but today's webcast [0] said "soft-landing on the water right next to the droneship". In other words not the full speed missile impact scenario. I&#x27
