In a lot of ways I think the big reason the subsequent games were not as good was because square took the wrong message from the success. They didn’t go “we should release more emotionally impactful video games with extremely well-told stor

You're not wrong on the problems of distributed responsibility. But Detroit was destroyed by the looting of the American auto industry, which was offshored, outsourced, and automated in the pursuit of efficiencies by people who were we

The MNT Reform has the potential to be the laptop we all want, but speed is an issue. The cost relative to speed is high. I think the other laptops mentioned are probably better in this regard, but I think they still live on the same supply

Same thing happened to the auto manufacturers in Detroit. Used to be one of the richest cities in the world, now one of the poorest and most violent in America.

Seems that way. If you want to defend Ukraine, okay. But confiscating Russia's sovereign wealth fund was a stupid, stupid move. That wasn't done by western countries even in WW2, fighting (literally) the Nazis. You've put the

Is there a good rundown over what people were actually getting mad about with RMS? RMS has done a lot for free software, and while I think the whole GNU/Linux naming pasta is a bit silly, what RMS did with emacs, gcc, and copyleft is g

And it's 4x more expensive than it was supposed to be to buy a planet. Ethereum was a mistake.

Okay, let's qualify that a bit. The majority of the world is not not siding with Russia.

Said this a few days ago. The majority of the world by most metrics is siding with Russia. >America risks being seduced by its own public relations. This happened long ago I'm afraid. It's why our wars go poorly and why our re

Your mom might be better off. Look at what's happening with educated American women. They forgo children until it's too late to have them, focusing on career instead of on family, and then find that they can not do both. My mom fl

I think about this a lot too. My grandmother had an interest in it as well and studied the history of the British kings for an answer (she was a teacher in India). In my own readings, it seems that at the time of the Roman conquest, Brittan

I think one of the important things about virtue signalling is that you're making a big deal about the prescribed norms that everyone is, in our unofficially official ideology, supposed to follow. It'd be like flying a great big f

I doubt property values would really change unless we started talking about getting Chinese money out of London, because it's just a way bigger thing from all that I've seen.

Maybe, but back then you just had to be an interested party of some learning whose work was correct. Now you have to be a “professional” or endorsed by one. It’s a status competition with real resources on the table rather than an aristocra

I think vectorizing and eventually algorithmizing federal regulations is important work and will be important for outcome driven federal policy, and I’m glad that you’re doing it.
