Regardless of the obvious political quackery downvoting my original comment, this is what I was pointing out: we're not as self-prioritizing as we are convenience-prioritizing . Capitalism isn't the only solution, just like how

I share your perspective with this. It's a fun idea. I've been a touch typist my whole life. But I did recently switch my default keyboard to International so I can type in French and Spanish, as accents are common to both languag

You're right. Perhaps Apple should start with a box then build the iPhone to fit inside.

Was it Isaac Asimov who pondered that man's goal is to automate itself out of existence? I don't get this lack of temperament with automation vs. direct labor. I've called out Amazon before, and I stick to my stance that that

To WilTimSon's point: Having been on and off Tor, 4chan, 7chan, and a number of other networks and sites that host pretty questionable and sketchy stuff, I'd easily say the vast majority of people using these back channels don&#x2

Pressure from equity holders, which happen to be Chinese logos. Someone shared an example on HN yesterday of Tencent, the largest gaming company. Chinese-owned, and owns major stakes in nearly a dozen of the largest game publishers and stor

They can do those things on other apps, perhaps apps not published by Chinese companies that offshore user data to circumvent privacy rights. And you're right: This is tiny. It's tiny enough that such a big question like, "Sh

I presume conlangs ignore this by design as fixed language. They are formed and mostly governed by rules, but the anthropological component of language never makes it into the design because there is no timeline of evolving usage. And again

Better yet, create a "Help Center," that has 1,900 articles that all have a link that says, "Need more help?" and then that link goes to another of the 1,900 articles that also has a link that says, "Need more help?

I appreciate your argument. What I was trying to point out was that the obsession with car modding is why films in the Fast franchise, even a decade after the first one debuted at the box office, still do extremely well. They're shee

I've learned in life, both by doing and not doing , that effort is the only metric for success you can control. As far as how you set your expectations, I'd like to propose an experiment: Draw a Punnett square, where X is eac

That's the reason the Fast franchise is some 8+ films in and still doing $500M+ box offices. It's also a good reason documentaries, classical and jazz music, and non-fiction books in all but self-help and cookbooks sell poor. I&

No one prices to "encourage proper use." They price for a number of variables. And I do agree that arguing they're overcharging is unfair; however, SU-pricing standards include triggers for excessive use as part of the custom

Alright. Because this personally applies for me, what about creating missions of past decisions made without missions? (This sounds naive, but I could use some insight.) For ex. I did my undergrad in IT Security. I did an MSDA. I ended up i

I just watched a video on branchless programming, and it blew my mind that the guy got a 3.36s function to return in .48s by using more code. The idea of trying to outsmart a compiler or runtime is motivating me to pick back up coding aft

Good question. But the issue of kicking the can about insolvency played a huge role in the Great Depression. At that time, and having had one major global conflict behind the largest sovereign states in the world, I have no clue why people

Reminds me of those videos from the 1950s that predicted what life would look like in the year 2000. He's right about cleaning datasets being an entire job itself. But that should have been a red flag for his conclusion even then. Scal

Eric Barone's success with Stardew Valley won this debate. Hell, Eric won this debate by virtue. He didn't have to do everything himself, but the very fact he's limited anyone else working on the game has played a huge ro

When I applied to my MSDA program, I had to interview with the lady who would become my first year mentor. "Now, do it over again... on paper." That's what she'd say to anyone too confident in their outputs. She has a re

And those jobs are running on $15 subscription MRR models. I'm not unappreciative, trust me. I just also don't appreciate that they have systematically obstructed competing services. And they've done all this using the same t

It's dangerous too. We've watched Silicon Valley completely strip industries like music, movies and gaming of a wide swath of its profitability. It's the birthplace of modern XaaS offerings. It just doesn't sit right wit

Just waiting for a time when we can say this about Apple and third party repairs.
