I wish you a smooth transition. These days odds are everything will work out of the box.

Unions are part of a healthy market economy. The succesful suppression of unions is a market failure.

“ create a single government agency that provides support to the rest of the government. Might easily lose efficiency, as any other bureaucracy”. As opposed to huge corporations that are known to be the pinnacle of efficiency…

Sounds like every other successful studio. On the contrary (to making this a bad thing) - they managed to pivot engine twice and ship without tanking.

(1) “American economists” only. (2)Also I am sure looking at the political/institutional affiliations of the responders would be interesting. (3) The responders comments show very different reasoning for disagreement. Some focus on stat derivatives, some on model incompatibility and some on more anecdotal evidence. (4) Some answers are bat-shit crazy like “not sure wealth inequality has risen in the US”.

This applies to most graduates imo. and even more so phds. :)

You are right - the language itself can be a bit messy. R’s advantage is the massive amount of packages available. Almost no matter what niche problem you are trying to solve - someone probably made a package for it. And if not all the functionality is there: you can just add.

“Less risk is actually more risk.” - Maybe the title of Nassim Talebs next book?

Indeed - its been years since browsing anonymity was possible (without rigorous opsec and inconvenience).

You know people are lost in the woods when the they use terms like “100% genuine and obvious. Your personal preferences are not universal and people are not downplaying it the need for controlling feeds. They are frustrated that control of feeds are taken from them from paternalistic profit-driven product managers et al.

Yes.

Its because in the west you will end up in court. In china only laws benefitting the CPC is enforced (hyperbole - maybe.. but still).

4090 works fine on Linux.

Fair points. Although Windows changed a lot the last 20 years. The hardware issue i can confirm - only reason my desktop workstation is still on windows.

I think you would be suprised how solid linux gaming is by now. I play Helldivers 2 with my son - One windows machine, one Ubuntu. No issues with anti-cheat so far. Only issue, with linux gaming, at the moment is some MS published games with wonky networking code (like AoE4). I see no performance dip at all on proton vs win-native.

What’s stopping you from switching to Linux now?

Sounds like you are paraphrasing Carmacks perspective. I am pretty sure all Ids 3D games would have been duds had Carmack been in charge of game and level designs.

I do believe its quite controversial to equate Regulated Capitalism with “Capitalism”. Ime. the opposite is more often true. (We do, however, agree on the necessity of properly regulated markets) :)

One could interpret “Capitalism doesn't inherently create monopolies.” like that. :)

Are you saying unregulated capitalism will not result in monopolies? If so - thats a pretty bold statement. Would love to see some evidence :)

I agree with everyone here that Python is a wonderful tool and it is frustrating when everything does not work ootb.

The tone/“atmosphere” of DK1 is very strong and the gameplay high-stakes/visceral. (Like the previous Magic Carpet games). DK2 went a more stylized, silly and cartoony direction - never resonated as much with me as DK1. DK2 is still a decent game though.

Sub what “standard”? I, for one, find the “mixed bag of soapy philosophy” a timeless treat. Not including the later Enterprise and the JJA movies.

Asking for a friend?

Ime. not more than any other encryption tool. Just don’t skip or delay those backups.

Thats hilarious. :) What traumatizing nicety did you subject him to in order to prompt that response?

A thing can have low mass and still be dense. :)

You can’t remove plankton and expect the whale to survive.

_someone_ “else” :)

Some bold claims with little evidence. GDP capita flattened at 13k is hardly “escaped the middle income trap”. IPs can be harmful to growth but then again China has never shown any intent to enforce IPs of western origin. There are no evidence of the US wanting to “keep asians down” - many of USAs asian trading partners enjoy less trade regulation. The “trade war” might be counterproductive but was a, imo mild, response to the extreme levels of protectionism exhibited by the chinese communist party.
