There are absolutely indie games that don't have any of that, and yet are wildly successful. See: Five Nights at Freddy's and Getting Over It. (You could argue that the hook of Getting Over It is the intentionally annoying control

The number of people available to count scales directly with the number of votes to count. Votes happen what, every few months at most? I would say saving a few hours every 100 days isn't worth that investment.

If you and the buyer already have physical contact, you don't need a trustless system, you take him to court or vice versa if one party is unhappy with the transaction. The blockchain can't (or at the very least shouldn't) ov

I've taken the attitude that I should be as dispassionate as possible to the work I do. Which doesn't mean don't care about the work I do, but there's a point where I become a perfectionist over the projects I truly care

I don't know how wide their web is. I know they have partnerships with some third parties, presumably some involves tracking that data.

I mean, the former attitude is known to be totally ineffective. The latter is possibly effective, at the cost of being (possibly?) extremely damaging.

I thought the whole point of legislation is that it should be left to reasonable interpretation. Trying to be exacting just leads to a race to how many loopholes we can find (and we will find them), and now you get a scenario where the law

My personal issue with unilateral free speech is that it's kind of self-defeating. To my understanding, the essential value of free speech is that it protects the unpopular voices... but because of how the system works, the ones withou

It's hardly outside the realm of possibility that the big telecoms are lobbying for regulation that makes it easy for them and hard for everyone else.

Correct me if I'm missing something, but what's the usecase for user submitted data on the map? Do city names change so frequently that they need to be dynamically updated? I can see some use for it when you get to the neighbourho

It comes down to the world moving faster than the infrastructure was designed to handle. And that's not necessarily a bad thing, I think it's a net good that so many more people can afford to go the Paris, own an internet-capable

Wouldn't that be self-defeating? If the path less travelled becomes more accessible, then it stops being the path less travelled.

I can't speak for everyone, but for me and I imagine some others, free time is a difficulty in of itself. I can't stand sitting idle for long, I'd try just about anything to fill it up.

Facebook posts as a whole have roughly the same quality of content whether a post has 1000 likes or it has no likes. A friend showing off photos of him in the Maldives, or a video of a cat dancing to EDM, how can you claim one is more valua

If it's no one's business to approve or disapprove, then Facebook should not be allowed to display comments sorted any way other than chronological. Facebook is drawing more attention to specific posts, and it honestly doesn'

Facebook doesn't need to hoist posts up on top with some black-box algorithm rather than let posts show chronologically. If it turns out that said algorithm makes engagement of echo chambers that much easier, then some of the fault doe

The main issue is that it isn't possible to codify what is genuine evil intent as of yet (and perhaps, ever). So until then, everyone has to choose between erring on too much or erring on too little.
