Shapez is much more guided, abstract, but probably still as complex as factorio.

Mindustry is simpler in complexity but much more aimed at "tower defense" style game play.

Satisfactory is like the child of Factorio and Subnautica, with a little of both games but not as deep as either.

Dyson Sphere Program is probably the truest successor to Factorio, but it's still very early access and just now adding combat.

Yep, anti-fraud and anti-scam is an exercise in game theory.

The more explicit you are with the rules, the more specific bad actors will try to weave around them. It sucks because it means the scalable, machine-assisted review process comes up with more false positives, but it's a two sided market and the marketplace owners care more about the users than the devs.

I feel like the U.S. tax code is a good example of when you try to go more explicit with the rules.

Depending on which products get flagged as a core platform service by the European Commission, the digital markets act (DMA) may already be hitting them.

It only affects EU users though.

Was the cat checked for diabetes?

Excessively drinking water, excessive urination, and renal failure are all co-morbidities for cats. Either way, kudos for helping them.

It was already a low ball deal.

Knowing Musks shenaningans, it's likely he wanted to sell his Twitter stock but wanted to pump it first with a semi-formal offer. Same he did with Crypto/Tesla.

Not surprising that Twitter board would call the bluff. Even if Musk tries to renegotiate to save face, the Twitter board will look better to shareholders by saying no to even lower offers.

Motivation doesn't matter when the impact is different, even if motivation is the same.

Being blind to race means being blind to acts of racism. It discredits the reality of those who experience race- or gender-based discrimination because the systemic blindness won't acknowledge the differences even exist.

Prejudice still happens even if the aggressors have good motivations or think they're "good" people.

Sure, but Lego didn't have brown and black for POC. The training of expectations isn't exclusive, and more people consumed The Simpsons than Legos.

There is a non-zero probability that Twitter's board is simply calling Musk's bluff.

Musk loves attention, but dumping his Tesla holdings to keep getting it may be too much for him.

Equality feels like persecution to those hold all the privileges.

I'm not sure why having different colored emojis has triggered an essay to redefine inclusivity as persecution for some hypothetical "dominant" demographic, but you are proving my point.

By using weak words to avoiding naming the demographic you feel is actually persecuted here, you're turning a blind eye to centuries of prejudicial conflict and injustice - context that defeats your attempt at semantics.

It doesn't matter if the decision was intentional or coincidence, the fact remains the most popular TV cartoon in history has trained our expectations.

Good thing then being inclusive involves all races and genders then, including the dominant one.

It would be pretty terrible if a historically "dominant" demographic felt persecuted because of equal options with emoji colors.

You're being downvoted but you're kinda right.

The longest running cartoon show in history (The Simpsons) uses yellow to represent white people, while POC are brown and black.

Excluding skin color and gender is being blind to prejudice, not fighting it.

- Asking where the constitution talks about protected classes is a loaded question, because it's protected by federal law.

- Stating the constitution overrides federal law is an argument from ignorance, because the constitution doesn't say anything about discrimination against protected classes to override it with.

Selectively ignoring the context of this conversation (i.e. "it's not about that per SE") to make my comment look like an unrelated straw man is cherry picking.

The problem with constitutionalists declaring freedom of association here is that the courts have repeatedly, undeniably upheld that the federal laws protecting civil rights are more important than the centuries old document (or, in a way, linked to the 14th amendment).

The bakery is a public accomodation.

The baker explicitly redefined his wedding cakes as his religious speech to avoid the Title II of the federal law.

Then cite where the constitution explicitly protects discrimination against protected classes.

The problem citing the constitution here is it's an argument from ignorance. You can't ignore federal laws just because the constitution doesn't say anything about them.

Constitution doesn't matter when it's federal law. Title II of the Civil Rights Act of 1964:

> Outlawed discrimination based on race, color, religion, or national origin in hotels, motels, restaurants, theaters, and all other public accommodations engaged in interstate commerce; exempted private clubs without defining the term "private".

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Civil_Rights_Act_of_1964#Title...

Public accomodations includes hotels, restaurants, and other institutions open to interstate commerce, per Title II.

The baker in question claimed they were an artist (separate from their bakery/restaurant public accomodation) and that they had the religious freedom to discriminate against sexual orientation based on their religion.

The court ruled that artists are not compelled to create for whomever they want, but did not say that people can discriminate against other protected classes based on their religious beliefs.

Atlas Shrugged is characteristically dystopian. Reading the book will not change this fact:

>The book depicts a dystopian United States in which private businesses suffer under increasingly burdensome laws and regulations. Railroad executive Dagny Taggart and her lover, steel magnate Hank Rearden, struggle against "looters" who want to exploit their productivity.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atlas_Shrugged

Prodigious nationalization and planned labor is the entire premise for Rand's arguments in the book.

> I dislike the people that support facist, racist beliefs, but I 100% will defend their right to say such things.

Even if allowing fascists and racists to express their speech actively harms or silences you in turn?

They're using LED right? Shouldn't be that bad

Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.

FBI charging documents do make references to the telecommunications of the OK defendants, where they are trying to trap and gas congress people under the capitol.

Reminds me of my reaction to that one Robert Heinlein quote about how "Specialization is for insects." Sounds romantic but also exhausting, unnecessarily so.

95% of meteors don't even hit the ground, and most of those that do are just pebble sized.

Are you really trying to compare Black Lives Matter to a mass extinction event?

Edit:

Okay, you've massively edited your comment. A single gender reveal party caused more property damage than all the BLM protests combined. I do not get this continued obsession with BLM protests, especially in conversations regarding the insurrection at the capitol this month.

Being impeached twice is the landmark here. We're living some pretty important history as it's being written right now.

The FBI divulged this morning that the Oath Keepers, a right-wing militia, were trying to trap congress members in the underground tunnels of the capitol to gas them.

Your CTO of your social media startup would definitely surface threats of deplatforming from your cloud provider to the CEO.

If it's any consolation, the insured patient payments are subsidizing the non-insured cash cost.

Parkinson's mostly affects motor skills, though there can be comorbid dementia.
