While I was still living with my parents, I romanticised the concept of a tiny house. It wasn't until I bought my own (normal) three bedroom house and went on my honeymoon, which was a stay in a tiny house, that I realised how valuable the extra space is.

>Have people found creative ways to communicate, or solicit/"bootstrap" further communications?

In Splatoon you can "post" [1] which displays this image above your character in the lobby and the main hub of the game. Most of the time people will draw using the in-game interface and the touch screen/buttons on the switch, other times people use a well known exploit to recreate images from your computer in the game using a specific type of controller [2].

After the post is created, it typically gets published to some social media account you have linked to your Nintendo account.

These posts are usually jokes, memes, or some silly throwaway pop culture line or reference but more often than not you see individuals promoting their own discord servers, twitter accounts, twitch accounts, and other social media platforms. Unfortunately you also get a few individuals who will post about LGBT related stuff, often with a sexual angle to it. No issues posting that on Twitter but I feel it's inappropriate for what is essentially a game for children.

The good news is you can report these posts to Nintendo, the bad news is I have no idea if they are moderated or not.

>Isn't streaming now just as good as local - assuming you have performant internet?

No and it's not really close, especially for first person shooters. That few milliseconds delay makes a HUGE difference in the feel of the game and ultimately how well you perform.

>and power hungry

This is an important point. My household uses very little power and when we eventually switched out our old plasma TV after a decade or so of use, our power bill halved. It's hard to pin it all on the TV because this is hardly a scientific experiment but that was the only notable change during that period.

I always wondered if GT7's micro transaction drama was overblown. Are you saying it's not as bad as game journalists have made it out to be?

I quite like the GT games and haven't bought it simply because it's $120+ in Australia. When it comes down in price, I'll check it out.

Just want to extend on this point. I have about 700 hours across playstation and now just started to play on pc. I played heavily during Forsaken through to the mid-Beyond Light DLC where I dropped off. Having just returned, I find the game to feel really fresh if not a little confusing at times with the subtle UI layout changes and things that are now deprecated in my inventory which I now must discard. Overall my friends and I are happy with the current state of the game especially when you compare it to Halo (though I acknowledge this isn't a straight apples to apples comparison).

In terms of old content being lost, the only part I'm actually quite annoyed at is the sunsetting of old weapons. The Forsaken campaign and all that stuff, I don't care about as much. To me the part that stings is that if I worked hard to get The Recluse, it should still be useable to this day.

If someone answered what you just answered, it would be a good enough answer to know they are somewhat legit.

I am able to play webm videos in iOS safari since yesterday. Not sure what changed but I assumed it was an overnight OS update.

I always thought the answer to this was fairly simple. USA, like Australia, is a vast, open country with plenty of space and wide roads whereas Europe and Japan are (mostly) the opposite. Bigger space = bigger cars.

Personally I think the CEO would have known about this happening and turned a blind eye until it became an issue. I have nothing to back this up though. Just a pessimistic take on corporate culture.

>The results aren't as pretty as the Ive era designs

Not saying Ive hadn't had some great designs in his time at Apple but saying the new designs aren't as pretty is highly debatable. From what I can tell, I don't think many people found the touchbar to be particularly "pretty".

>But I felt guilty for not learning new things and just listening to music all day long

Seen this a lot, and I'm in the same boat. I dislike this commodified view of life and free time, where every thing you do must result in a sort of real-life stat increase, like you would see in a video game (Persona 5 anyone?).

I think ultimately this way of thinking is extremely naive. It implies there is no underlying themes or philosophy in music or fiction whereas listening to a podcast will cause you to learn something new. The subtle messaging a good album possesses can be far more profound than listening to a guy talk about data science for an hour each day. Listening to a good album or reading fiction can give you new ways to frame problems or reconsider old approaches in your work.

We need more polymaths.

While I don't find this surprising at all, I do find it interesting that a company like Netflix, a studio where most of their originals are overwhelmingly pro-LGBT, still has this issue when one of the biggest comedians in the world pisses off some tiny segment of their workforce. It seems that this segment of people are never going to be happy.

Interesting article. My current household of two people consumes less power than the average one person household and this is with myself working a remote job. Where is the incentive for someone like me to get solar power if I'm already really low consumption?

Agreed on nearly all points except the following.

>there are no good guys and bad guys

I don't think that's what he is implying. He is leaving it up to our interpretation but the absence of a position does not mean he is saying that there are no good or bad guys. From what I gathered, he's not saying anything at all.

Big fan of his work regardless.

Also thought this. Let's hope the author has a SQL in the works as I am keen to hear more.

Excellent article. For me, the timing couldn't be better as I am about to step into a role not too dissimilar to the one described in the piece. It will be interesting to see if I run into many of the situations the author describes.

Tried reading through the page. No idea why it exists or what it even does. Why would anyone use this?

Currently advising a friend who is building a business and my approach was for them to go totally no-code. None of the employees at the startup have tech-experience so I've proposed Airtable as the core of the product. It is essentially disability support. Anyone do something similar or have any advice?

No you are wrong. If you actually read the books you would know that's not what they are about.

The image of those crabs bleeding out is pretty shocking even for someone like myself who hunts my own meat. Are they alive during this process?

What is it with people calling their applications "beautiful"? What's so beautiful about this?

This title reads like a password generated by a password manager.

Basically what Taleb describes as Skin in the Game:

>"Don’t Tell Me What You Think, Tell Me What You Have In Your Portfolio"

>How many years of secure operation?

I don't believe this is a way of validating the security of a blockchain. Consider the turkey problem as stated in "THE BLACK SWAN" by Nassim Nicholas Taleb: "A Turkey is fed for 1000 days by a butcher. Every day confirms to the turkey (and the turkey's economics department, and its risk management department and its analytics department ...) that in fact the butcher loves turkeys. Every day brings more confidence to the statement. Until one day the Turkey is ripe for Thanks Giving".

You may very well be correct but I don't think length of time without a fatal error is a valid metric.

For me personally, I am in the Bitcoin proof-of-stake camp however I would be lying if I didn't say I also have a position in Ethereum.

>The white one has a bit of Dieter Rams in it.

Thought the exact same thing. I am a huge fan of the Xbox designs. The white one specifically reminds me of an upright Dieter Rams designed Braun turntable [1].

...and as I finish typing the section above I find this [2]. Looks like someone else already had the idea.

Of course because it wouldn’t run in the first place.

I finally gave up on Firefox when I noticed a few websites just wouldn’t work when using it compared to Chromium.

I think the writing is on the wall.

Having just read the great book, “CHAOS: Charles Manson, the CIA, and the Secret History of the Sixties” by Tom O’Neill, I must say I get a little suspicious when reading about psychedelics research centres in the USA. Hopefully this one isn’t a CIA operation like they were in the ‘60s.

Jesse Jackson is a race hustler. For him, diversity == African-American.
