> there just aren't enough such people left to be significant

Right, and the reason for that is because of the previous actions they'd taken - killing third party apps, refusing to do more than the bare minimum to support moderators, etc.

At some point, they realized they wanted people to be on the New Version & the App. And hell, it was probably the correct business decision - they're not running it out of the goodness of their own hearts on free hardware. But it definitely means that Reddit is just not a place I use anymore.

One might wonder what value he's bringing to the business, then, but it's hard to parse out much information from three sentences.

But can I use multiple slurp juices on a single cell?

> To have a loyal friend in these games who lets you win at their own expense, is a good strategy - you'll simply win a lot more games that way.

I think that's only true if your goal is to win. I play board games to have fun with friends and family, and winning every time - especially because someone else hands you a win - is no fun at all.

> It is perhaps ironic, then, that China is now taking steps to prevent its own high-end technologies and talent from escaping abroad.

That doesn't feel ironic. Especially when I would wager the west has done plenty of industrial espionage of its own.

I bet my experience would have been better if I were playing with people I knew, but the one time I played it, I didn't have a great time. (Yes, of course I was betrayed and stabbed in the back by another player; but that was expected! And as the one newbie who didn't know anyone, I knew my time was numbered.)

I think I mostly hated the map; it was difficult to read, and I made at least two mistakes because the regions in the center were tiny and hard to parse out for me.

But... also, this sort of thing just doesn't appeal to me. I really like Secret Hitler, but otherwise, the social-deduction style of game doesn't appeal to me. But I'm very glad that this game exists, and that people are way into it.

> Jensen Huang’s account, as Joseph Steinberg reported it, is that American manufacturing jobs declined because the work was outsourced.

I don't know how much I trust the opinion of someone who doesn't know his own address: https://www.nytimes.com/2026/09/23/opinion/ezra-klein-podcas...

> There are a lot of skills that don’t matter. My first confession, I actually don’t know my address. ... One day I had to pump gas — it was a few years ago. They needed my ZIP code, and I panicked. I didn’t know my ZIP code. I don’t know my telephone number. I forget these things. I can live with it.

I wonder how energy efficient it is compared to modern refridgerators.

I think it's my favorite novel of his.

> If your reaction times, intelligence, etc are always good, and your experience and memories get better, it just seems like you'd out compete your kids and younger cohorts.

On the other hand, always being around as a sort of Protector to protect your kids seems like it would generally be good for your genes. (Of course, you'd have to fight off other Protectors who are doing the same...)

Any Larry Niven fans nodding along?

Oh, sure. I'm not saying I'd remind her about every piece of homework. But I want to know if she's starting to not do it.

Damn. I was accessing HN on another device, and missed who the author of this post was.

> And it could even credit and financially compensate you whenever this happens.

It could, but it doesn't.

Also, have you considered that perhaps creative people who write novels actually want people to directly consume their work, and not indirectly?

So this is just a thing built on top of bitcoin, not built into bitcoin, and only available from Nacho? What happens when the XKCD comic comes true, and someone with a little more marketing money offers the same thing?

Only works if your walk-in closet has hot and cold water taps, as well as a drain.

I'm not the person you're asking, but in general, I would also stay on top of my child's obligations - homework, chores, etc. I don't want the first sign of trouble to be a call from a teacher, or the complete absence of clean clothes for them to wear in the morning.

You don't teach children responsibility by removing yourself completely from that equation

Ugh, another ilands bot.

They weren't. Hence the treaty.

Everyone has all sorts of thoughts, some more intrusive than others. It's our actions that count.

> have I just found myself in the middle of strangely puritan culture which would pile on me for a sort of a thought crime?

I would certainly find it very strange and off-putting if my friends were making porn of me, whether that was AI-assisted or if they were making drawings with pencil on paper. I don't think that makes me particularly puritanical.

Keep that stuff in your head.

> The challenge, of course, will be collecting on the judgements. So in that sense, the win may be limited.

Bummer :/

I believe in you.

Well, they haven't conducted any since 1996.

> Since the treaty's opening for signature in 1996, only sixteen nuclear tests have been conducted, all by non-signatory states: Pokhran-II by India and Chagai-I by Pakistan in May 1998, and six tests by North Korea from 2006 to 2017.

I can back up my keepass database, and I can write down my passwords.

I remember visiting their offices for a game night sometime in the early 2010s in NYC, and it was incredible - they had something like three floors of a large building somewhere in SOHO, with each floor having a dedicated kitchen with three refridgerators that had more square footage than some of my friends' living spaces.

At the time, as far as I recall, they were still a filesharing platform, so I had absolutely no idea where they got the money for all of that.

The problem isn't the cost of replacing it, the problem is - how do you log in when all your passkey-bearing devices just got flushed down the toilet?

Yeah, but consider! There's a high likelihood that they'll still be housing for someone.

"Information wants to be free" never meant that people want to release their information; it meant that information is very hard to keep secret, and that everything leaks like a sieve, and especailly that once it's out, it's out forever.
