When playing for the first time, a simple pop up tutorial would be nice, explaining what to do. Figuring out how to land and how to drag the planes takes a second, but it is fine. However, I still haven't figured out what to do with starting planes? I can't change their route, so how do I prevent two starting planes from crashing?

Edit: I would also add some “crash margin” around the border of the screen. A plane coming from the top right corner and crashing into a plane leaving just to the right of the top right corner is frustrating.

I don't mind the timer as much, but I also like some of the suggested improvements here.

The only thing I really don't like, is that each puzzle can only be played once. I would like to figure out all words of a day even if it doesn't count.

This could even be an interesting statistic, how many people finished all words ignoring the time component.

Any normal human should have stopped and thought about their actions after Daniels passing.. Daniel will be missed and Kramnik hopefully forgotten.

There is a project, which proxies album requests to a private immich instance, if one doesn't want to expose it: https://github.com/alangrainger/immich-public-proxy

Because 15min cities are Soros funded projects to imprison us and the sheeple don't understandit. Renewable energy is a "gina" scam to destroy our economy. Healthcare is communism, socialism, fascism. Everything sucks but I don't want anything to change... /s

If a society makes every problem a culture war, there can't be any progress until it gets so bad it can't be ignored anymore. But I feel even that is bit too optimistic.

That was my first thought as well. I can't articulate why, but if the company and product survive a few years, it feels to me like it might become a modern "cult" car.

Rory Sutherland used the Walkman story in his book, and some YouTube Shorts.

Even if one assumes this is true, it still wouldn't justify the valuation.

I am curious, what exactly triggers your AI senses in this post?

There's no question that there are synergies between Tesla and SpaceX in our futures," she said. "There's a convergence of what we're all trying to accomplish in the future."

Accomplish a ludicrous valuation above all else?

I knew that in Germany contracts with minors are voidable. After some checking they apparently are voidable in the U.S. as well:

Contracts with minors are voidable at the minor's discretion but exceptions exist, such as contracts for necessities (e.g., food, health, and transportation).

Can a kid set up an AWS account? Are there no checks?

Wouldn't the contract be void for anyone underage anyway?

OpenSuse is (or will be) "Euro-Linux".

This looks very repetitive and not-fun to build.

I just checked and there is even a seller on Amazon delivering in the U.S., so it shouldn't be too hard to get.

"Thumbs" down

Just before the outage happened I updated multiple client servers. That was a very stressfull hour trying to figure out why nothing works.

Has anyone used this and ansible and is able to give a short comparison with likes and dislikes?

Can you give a source on this? I can't belive this to be remotely true.

You correct, you are allowed to "break" patent law in Germany, if the use is private and non-commercial. This does not encompass schools and science though.

This is such a good metaphor.

You replace half of a team with AI. Salary cost go immediately down, but team output can keep up for some time. You don't see the technical debt, the security issues and the prompt injection which will result in wrong invoices being sent. In six months suddenly there will be a big problem, but this quarter a lot of shareholders are happy about the cost-cutting. You may even be promoted by the time shit hits the fan, and it won't even be your problem anymore.

On the other hand there probably also is a general correction in the market after the covid hiring spree.

Has someone answered why a civilization would send "von Neumann probes" or similar into space? It would take so long for any answers from those probes to arrive that there really doesn't seem much value in them.

Especially Cheney pushed hard for this, ignored the intelligence communities assessments, then got his own source, a burned source, Ahmed Chalabi to fabricate reasons for an invasion.

The U.S. can't win this war. John Kiriakou did a nice analysis on this on his recent podcasts. "Iran just has to prolong the war and survive it to win". Trump on the other hand needs a decisive win fast, or the economic and political fallout will be too big. As long as Iran can launch cheap drones and keep a small but steady pressure there is just no path out of this for the U.S. except to go home.

Bond's Casino Royal had a stock short sell bet with a planned attack.

This is so interesting. Especially since it's kinda weird to train a robot to mimicking human play. I wonder what a perfect robot what actually behave like.

It wouldn't need to split-step to activate muscles, the footwork would probably be minimal. I imagine a lot of different unusual looking swings to confuse human players, while still making perfect contact. It could make really late drop shots or even rotate the racket at the last moment for crazy angles.

Would love to watch this.

There is probably some lingo somewhere clarifying that you pay for the "experience" of her and not for her in particular.

Another big problem is the mentality. "We have always done it this way" and "I don't want to change it" is extremely prevalent. I say this as a German.

This is also reflected in the big political parties, which would rather keep these beliefs alive than inspire change.

I really don't see a solid economic future for Germany when enough other countries implement more progressive economic policies.

Because insults can be fined. That is a German law though, not an EU thing.
