I think it's looking pretty grim for all derivative intellectual activity, with increasing hurdles for what counts as non-derivative. Entrepreneurial activity is not special in this regard. Interacting in and with the physical world is

Interesting that the Taiwan output was removed after the fact. Does it endorse Russia, NK or authoritarian leaders?

The 1993 movie Super Mario Bros. already did that to me.

People need to justify their role. As such they change things around or add complexity, even if user benefit is questionable. And why wouldn't you add some planned obsolescence for good measure?

Good will in combination with nostalgia. I'm having increasingly strong doubts YT is going to survive this decade though. I've already started archiving things I find interesting. When that feels done, I will reevaluate.

The day it doesn't, I will cancel YouTube Premium and leave it behind for good.

They're openly meddling in EU affairs too wrt tech regulation. Time to look for new allies?

Nice sentiment but this is advice for rich people. And with Trump installed as VC puppet, it's gonna get worse WLB-wise on average (not just for devs).

Live service games are a phenomenon of securing income streams. In the cultural era this live service has been done by (let's face it) mostly children such as formerly you and me. There never was a significant beneficial income (or rat

IMO framing any discussion around pay2win is missing the forest for the trees and playing into publisher's hands. On Gamebanana (formerly FPSBanana) you'll find a million pieces of non-P2W content for certain games created for fre

There's considerable risk in that strategy if taken to the extreme. Because you could eventually outsource virtually everything, including critical dependencies, and then just be left with a sort of pure military-financial hegemony, bu

Not an expert, but shouldn't "materia snapping to a Planck length grid in space" be experimentally falsifiable? And could this imply there is no grid or that space is truly continuous?

Terry Pratchett's Disc World comes to mind. It's not generally exuberant, forced humor with maximum-impact punchlines, but more the laid-back, jolly sort. It also has a big fan following.

Glad to see Super Mario Bros. (1993) on there. Had to watch it twice.

Zuck, a hero? The first time I saw a fellow student post something utterly irrelevant (to our local group's real lives) rage bait thing into the then-new FB feed I knew we were in trouble. Surely, FB and Zuck must have had an idea what

I haven't verified the info in this video myself, but it's making a point about Shackleton actually being somewhat incompetent/overeager and getting himself and crew into more trouble than necessary (as compared to Amundsen):

His plot came from sci-fi books. Now that he can't have what he wants on his schedule, either he corrects or falls apart. Only question is how much damage he will do along the way.

I feel it's gonna correct soon. Just make sure you're not overinvested in the wrong places.

Sounds like a proverbial multibillion dollar todo list SaaS. Kinda wish big money would have left the CS-related space right about ~10 years ago, when things weren't quite as nonsensical (and culturally decrepit), so all the serial car

This past decade I repeatedly found reality to be its own parody. Even the South Park authors admitted to it in 2017 (!). > The Donald Trump administration is too difficult to satirise because it is funny enough on its own, say Trey Park

Yeah, I've always used ThinkPads and while IMO they're on average good devices, you better not buy the wrong series and/or iteration. The LX40 had an atrocious clickpad. The previous LX30 had serious WiFi issues, that I fix
