Fintech dystopia 12 months ago

All of the games that feature this mechanic are bad, empty, fintech husks. Often they feature same neon vaporwave artstyle, maybe with apes, and usually are transparently asset flips designed more to to feature on cryptocurrencies landing page then to be played. No good games include this ridiculous use case that I cannot imagine anyone who plays games even a little bit to want.

DoorDash S-1 6 years ago

Corporate lobbying and the wealthy's influence in politics damages democracy far more then this rhetoric ever could.

DoorDash S-1 6 years ago

The VC world and the economy of online startups are almost like a planned economy. The extremely wealthy allocate money for these expensive yet unprofitable online services, like uber, doordash, and UpWork, almost like socialist central planners. So many of these modern businesses would not exist without the safety net of the extremely wealthy.

Also, how is DoorDash still unprofitable, despite taking 30% commissions from restaurants, and 25% commissions from delivery costs, during a pandemic which has many people locked inside??? It's like the Quibi excuse but somehow worse.

Can you prove that you aren't yourself? How would someone prove that?? I believe you are allowed to say "free tibet" etc on tiktok without any problems right now.

On twitter, im fairly sure AMP links are not hosted by Google. They use a standard developed and pushed by google but I believe the pages themselves are not served by them unless they are accessed from google search.

Is the "set" evaluated where its written or only during "sum()"? If not, whats the sum for?

Flutter for Linux 6 years ago

Flutter only falls back on the canvas, it avoids using anything but html elements if it can. Fancy animations tend to resort to the canvas

I still love flatpak, and much of what this article states is hostile and outdated. The "XDG portal" specification makes filesystem access less popular then before. Also, "fakepak"? Really?

There is lots of effort by Rust devs, even if the libraries are not as mature or easy. I don't believe you meant to be disrespectful here. I think better a better words could be any of manpower, maturity, or time.

I prefer https://glitch.com for this type of thing, because it works so well for kids. I love how people on it can ask each other for help in real time. Its a great site and community
