If Mr. Schmidt's story is to be trusted... this is just an incredible story.

In the heart of the pandemic, the YouTube misinformation rabbit hole lead two US residents, at least one VERY well educated, to jumping to their death, in treacherous waters in the South Pacific.

The idea of extending the concept of the LARP to experience real world, difficult scenarios is remarkable. Media/political polarization is a real problem today. Applying the concept of real world workshops to bridge party lines is out there today [0], but maybe tackling difficult concepts head-on isn't the best method. For some subjects (abortion, gay conversion therapy as in the article) stepping out of your own shoes into another via imagination or fantasy would tackle it well.

Generally agree, but on the other hand, the game feels a LOT better since since the Activision divestment.

In the last 12 months narrative team of Destiny 2 have REALLY knocked it out of the park, with the seasonal plot actually making sense and having some interesting activities (like Battlegrounds). Some significant improvements in QoL too.

While there definitely gaps as you say - the New Light experience in particular needs some serious work - so long as Sony lets the team continue on its current trajectory, there may be hope.

Viruses evade defenses as a matter of evolutionary outcome, becoming something less recognizable to the herd’s immune system.

The idea that you might need updated shots has nothing to do with business model, and everything to do with observed cause and effect.

Had the exact same experience. Excited about Amplify, but ran into bugs that hadn't been fixed for months blocking AmplifyJS social login from working as documented.

Switched to Firebase, and it all just worked.

We've spent a lot of time working around the limitations of FireStore, but it does work reliably. Pricing is VERY hard to extrapolate from early use; all it takes is one feature request and your assumptions are blown.

Love to hear from anyone who has gone beyond the prototype phase.

How!? I am a VC backed startup, just went through the same grief described in the original linked post.

I like Firebase, but the moment the utility runs out we're heading back to AWS.

Troy is sarcastically explaining that this is a "good password" according to older password complexity rules, but a horrible password given predictable password substitution logic. Password complexity rules accomplish little.

A clickbait titled shill post. Doesn’t belong on HN!

Great rebuttal to one of the other commentator's lines... "Yes, the accumulation of capital gains should rightly go to the owners of capital." This position elevate the good of capital assets while ignoring/not balancing it with the "... acute, prolonged, and wide-spread suffering of conscious beings".

Unsubstantiated, self-serving FUD from Oracle.

I am in the same boat: burned, early on, when playing with ECS. Given this announcement, and Netflix announcing they will contribute to the project, it's time to take a second look.
