Is the eShop actually responsive on the Switch 2? It was so painfully slow on the Switch that I usually browsed it on other devices.

There was a lot of hiring then but I'm uncertain to what degree this want also just the trendy thing to do among executives and activist investors after mass layoffs at Twitter didn't result in immediate collapse.

The Outer Wilds music is so good! I learned the theme as pizzicato on cello because I loved it so much.
Definitely just chill in Cyberpunk and hack with Judy on robotics.

Dying every 22 minutes in a supernova seems rough. How are you gonna get any sleep at that rate?
I think I'm gonna be very boring and go with the first Shenmue or Persona 4 which is like saying I move to small-town Japan in the 80s 😂. But Cyberpunk 2077 is tempting as well... 🤔

Same here. Via k3S on a RaspberryPi no less. No complaints either.

I think this says more about Marc and maybe his social circle. I have crypto and it's not in my face all day or hardly ever.

That game was actually quite fun at the time as well. Hit the sweet spot for me in terms of difficulty and having Ivanova in it while still hyped on Babylon 5 made it even better.

This happens every time a job is something many people dream of doing. Would you rather work on the next GTA or do a enhancement to accounting software? Similar to everyone dreaming of writing movies. I'd literally pay to have something I write turned into a movie even if it gets edited a lot.

What has any of this to do with why India isn't prospering?

What Keller did strikes me as very inappropriate. I also think this article shouldn't exist. It clearly describes someone having a mental health crisis because of articles about them
comment in response to
post
I honestly feel deeply sorry for everyone involved and concerned for Keller and his staff. It reads like there are some mental health issues that have entirely understandable and relatable causes. Even celebrities are humans and our media environment is relentless and omnipresent.

On the latter o me the important difference is that under communism a planned economy replaces the market whereas socialism can use the market but have the government supply social safety. I don't find "socialism" a useful term anymore because to some it means Sweden and to others Venezuela.

It depends. There is the Marxist sense which sees Socialism as a stage before Communism which can only be accomplished after a global revolution and the colloquial sense which is more blurred.

In general, I recommend reading up on how east Asian countries like SK, Vietnam and Taiwan got out of poverty. It's all cheap labor (which requires low regulations and reliable institutions) getting them to middle income while they heavily invest in education which gets them to high-income.

A+ question. India has very high tariffs; isn't a signatory to WTO agreement on government procurement which is a huge portion of their GDP; have constraints on foreign investments; complex, frequently changing tariffs, export limits and subsidies on ag products. I'm not deep in India but it's messy

Ugh, I'd expect this coupling to stop rail projects in some counties.

An account getting hacked can also be an issue for the platform and/or other users. "Mby91 is posting links to some great crypto opportunities. I usually don't care about crypto, but mby91 is a great dude, so I should check it out!"

The problem is that attackers have gotten more sophisticated. The variables here aren't only the complexity of your password but also how it's stored/hashed on the server, how secure your own devices, pwd storage and connection are and if you reuse them.

How is this enshittification? There is no desire here to make more money of you. It's to keep your account secure. Do you have a better suggestion on how to secure them? I personally like passkeys but they are pretty new and also might go over some user's heads.

Is this actually about MFA or about the growing trend to make OAuth options first choice and hide the username/password option behind a click for no reason. I'm also annoyed by the trend to hide the password field till the username was entered. Sometimes prevents 1Password from suggesting username

I think it's a chicken/egg situation. Because everything is so hostile towards bikes in the US and bikes are connotatively rare in the US bikes are used by bicyclists whereas in Europe it's just a person on a bike. You gotta be more into it in the US. It becomes part of the identity in another war

Visiting Shanghai for the first time in 2005 from Germany it felt to me like the future was being built. I think it didn't feel like the future because the poor far past was still highly visible and the future was sprinkled very unevenly

Allowing apartments doesn't prohibit SFH construction if that's where the demand is. Prohibiting apartment construction means we are guessing the demand without much skin in the game. We don't do this for anything else.

The main value proposition of democracy isn't ideal decision making but transfer of power without violence. It's easy to forget that issue since we haven't had it in a long time but it's huge.

Because it creates trips that otherwise wouldn't have taken place at all and make conditions worse for people who actually need the transit. See youtu.be/2SnJFbeVaIc?...

Are Koyaanisqatsi, Baraka or Samsara to literal choices for this? They certainly are mesmerizingly beautiful and are just stunning film and music.

All projects coming to a halt because they are blocked by environmental approval being stalled seems unlikely to lead to abundance

Do it! I took a helicopter from the Hungaroring after an F1 race and it was the best part of the race weekend. Highly recommend!

Lots of fresh and heirloom veggies at places like Whole Foods or Rainbow and incredible Asian veggies at HMart or 99 Ranch. I've found the farmers markets in Europe (most recently Bonn, Rome and Ljubljana) comparable to the US ones I've visited.

I'm confused by the point about fresh food. I've lived in both Germany and the US and traveled a lot and the variety of fresh produce I can get in the US (at least West coast) is just unrivaled.

Land-value tax really. Property tax punishes improvements you make. We want improvements what we not want is freeloading on improvements others make around you through rising land value.

That museum and Bilbao in general were probably the best surprise I had during three weeks in Spain.
