What if I emulate current games that my friend owns, but I make sure to never play the same game at the same time as he does?

Switch emulation works surprisingly well, but it has its quirks and some titles are barely playable. I love emulation primarily because it's necessary for long-term archival of game libraries, but emulating modern systems is not a supe

I don't think "addictiveness" is really the problem. I've been "addicted" to Wikipedia for 20+ years too.

Get rid of behavioral advertising. You'll find that most or all of the negative things people have in mind when they say "ban social media" go away.

Indeed. Price discrimination is a market failure. It's only possible when a seller has market power.

I would guess that most dynamic pricing won't work in a competitive market. By "competitive" I mean that there are a large number of buyers and sellers and something close to perfect information (namely that buyers know the p

I've got the Arc soundbar and subwoofer one year ago to save space by replacing my more typical 3.1 setup with receiver, sub, and bookshelf speakers. I'm happy with the form factor, audio quality, and overall TV experience, and I

I would be surprised if that device can power cycle or control the volume of a stereo from 1970.

"We should avoid the term 'cargo culting.'" "We should avoid criticizing people's speech." Note that both of these statements are criticisms of people's speech.

Out of curiosity, why would it be mind-blowing if either of them were a rational number?

The criticism of the target’s intelligence or competence isn’t the mean-spiritedness I’m referring to. I’m referring to the deliberate and inherent mean-spiritedness towards people with intellectual disabilities that the slur is explicitly

by tshaddox 2y ago
Have you ever seen someone use the slur without intending the same mean-spiritedness that the "virtue signalers" are taking offense to?
919.
by tshaddox 2y ago
The thing is, you wouldn't use the slur except to invoke the mean-spiritedness that the people who find the slur offensive associate with the word. If you're using it because you think like-minded people will find it funny that yo

Phrases like “toll” and “congestion pricing” clearly imply that there will be a cost to driving, so I don’t think it’s reasonable to say anyone in the conversation is ignoring cost. But again, dismissing the improvements because costs go up

Sure, but that’s a dismissive interpretation. It’s a bit like saying “sure, a cinema that refuses to sell more tickets than it has seats leads to a better cinema viewing experience, but only if you remove price from the equation!”

I don’t know if it’s fair to call this “making the road a luxury.” Congestion is a failure mode of a road system, not just more people getting to enjoy the road.

Congestion pricing makes driving better, not worse.

These lossless compression algorithms don’t just recall a fixed string of text. Obviously that can be accomplished trivially by simply storing the text directly. These lossless compression algorithms compress a large corpus of English t

by tshaddox 2y ago
I wouldn't call that a sleight of hand. Surely better lossy compression can be trivially used to implement better lossless compression, and the latter is just much easier to quantify for a benchmark.
