I would say that setting aside a tiny bit on top of “pay your rent” for savings is necessary. It doesn’t have to be a ton but you shouldn’t be in trouble if the company doesn’t work out. Startups can take years to play out and you need a safety cushion afterwards, some basic level of financial security

> Some people have zero self preservation. I wouldn't go deliver something to a terrorist group for any amount of money.

Is this victim blaming, or am I misreading it?

Fighting might have meant nuclear war. How is that preferable?

The Reddit accounts are not new

Eg, 6 year old account https://www.reddit.com/user/lamka02sk/ Or 2 years https://www.reddit.com/user/SoftGreener/ 4 years https://www.reddit.com/user/omerby12/comments/

I played occasionally on a counter strike source server years ago and despite being a scrub would often get 10+ players spectating me to figure out if I was cheating. I wasn’t even playing well (and never have played cs well), it was just a really casual server.

Baseless accusations are thrown around non stop

I found quake live didn’t have cheating accusations back in the day, everyone had more understanding about how much worse we all were than the pros we watched in tournaments. A half blind snap shot or tripwire shot exploiting an angle in the map is just par for the course, if you can’t make those you would have a 0% win rate in duel (my duel win rate was still under 10%)

I don’t know how to read that chart. How do we know the levels increased? What did they used to be? who operates that site? What are safe levels?

The world would have ended by now had people followed that advice 50 years ago

Russia has predicted that the wests sanctions will be mild because they depend on Russia for oil and wheat. Everyone is more afraid of a recession than of future wars. Are they right? Would you be willing to risk your retirement investments from your faang jobs to sanction Russia? Or do you think it’s worth the cost to help discourage future military actions? Honestly curious what individuals think here

I’ve made it to the top 5% in a few competitive games, top 1% or 0.1% even. Once you get there, it’s surreal because of how sloppy you know you are: everything you do is still so clumsy and you still have so much uncertainty. It’s just that most other players are even more clumsy and even more confused (often more confident however).

Property values in Canada are quite high. That free free squatted on non-free land for 150 years before you got to chop it down. How many dollars per year did the land cost for those 150 years?

Just saying that the free tree isn’t free

I’ve used downpour for years and it’s a great service. Drm free downloads as well if you don’t want to use their app and a massive selection

> … and one in a hundred can double your salary.

The time required to work with the 99 who can’t double your salary isn’t nothing, that’s a part time or even full time job spent courting people who are just spamming everybody on linkedin with a pulse

I like downpour a lot for audiobooks. As a bonus, you can download drm free audio files for all your books too

A Twitter thread is not the way to reveal research like this, it’s terrible for discussion and the character limit prevents your going into proper depth.

There is a very short list of hardware they do endorse here. I’m not sure if it uses those loopholes or not

In Ux, you often optimize systems to help make user error as close to impossible as you can, and to optimize to be able to complete tasks quickly. However, in many video games, user error is a core part of the experience and you often don’t want to shorten tasks because they are pleasant. Starcraft players fight on forums to defend the unnecessary tasks they have to do manually because they enjoy practicing their good mechanics, some even asking blizzard to worsen the games pathfinding (big, fascinating subject, won’t get into it here)

That said, I own several books and games that I haven’t put the effort into reading/playing yet. Reading and gaming aren’t effortless

Wage growth lags price growth, and in general most people make the same or less for a given type of job than 30 years ago

It’s not auto updated on windows, it’s an annoying pop up suggesting you go download a latest version, thankfully

I’ve been too lazy to update image glass for the last few months, despite the reminders. What a relief
