Agree, but I’m theorizing it wouldn’t be easy to organize open source development for them from scratch.

I think highly variable, replayable, emergent games in general are a good fit. A random aspect (complex interacting systems, or rng that doesn’t railroad you) is a key component. That’s where some games get the surprise you mention. I think

Couldn’t you just not rent out your property

You speak about walking a tightrope with your neighbors and needing a special exception and yet blame for any souring of that relationship falls on guests that you invite to your property.

Yes something like a personal defibrillator (many cramps, no trips, and an outsize count of heart attacks). I’ll make a full blog post about it some day. When it happens we call it a “fallen angel” - don’t misunderstand me, there’s nothing

Anecdotally I can confirm this. Whenever my friends and I get together, we zap each other. Sometimes it’s frequent but beneficial, sometimes it’s more like active harm. Either way we always agree at the end of the night that the most harmfu

Fair point - switch white for upper middle class, my bad. I wasn’t making a point against them being humbling and learning experiences, but rather against the idea you can dip your toes in for a minute and be washed of your pretension (whil

The same kind of folks who didn’t/wouldn’t care to know a thing about anything outside of America before the “information” age now have the luxury of getting the most simplistic representation piped into their heads via clickbait and m

This was like a what you need to know tour through all of the LinkedIn-pro-sponsored, pseudo-quantitative approaches to evaluating personality guided by self fulfilling anecdotes and a glut of paraphrases/quotes from people I’ve never

I like how easily you can pick out the legit HN comment, ie completely off topic about naming

Very tactful. You should respond with this story in real life when someone tells you they were sexually abused.

I agree. Abruptly sending a player off only works punitively to give permanent advantage to one team. Home fans that feel ripped off by a “missed” red card might instead feel some hidden guilt or something, even if they won’t admit it. Thei

If it can’t be measured or controlled then conclusions which forgo it are not valid!

https://github.com/synestematic/kord I don’t think this has “execution”/synthesis features, but it could at least provide the basis for this environment.

Fair enough. I still want to avoid making consolidation any easier.

Every entity I interact with online collects my data. The saving grace is that they don’t often compare notes. I do not want any entity to have all of my data, even if it has my ssn redacted

I think a bulletproof implementation of this would be a key enabler for a decentralized autonomous (anonymous) organization

There are two options to improve our model: We can include nose picking rate as an independent variable, or we can recommend that everyone pick the same amount of nose.

There’s a culture of life hacking and microoptimizing that promotes following conclusions made on pvalues and averages as a key to the promised land (re: “trust science” as a replacement for religious style identity and morality even). In t

Like the other discussion here about how it’s even better to be able to take the pedals off a bike and lower the seat compared to buying a new balance bike. Low coupling, swappable parts, configurable, add or subtract ad infinitum... you ca
