You make it sound like there's no choice. Toyota/Lexus and Honda/Acura don't do it to my knowledge. Am I wrong? EDIT Add Volvo and Genesis to the list of no ads

I like Maniac Mansion the best. The sequel wasn't bad either.

I think you missed the fact that not even Apple could change the mindset of adults regarding VR. I am referencing trends and past data, while you’re talking about an anecdote.

These apps already exist in VR. There's even a few of them on the Meta Quest line of headsets which are also standalone. The issue is that most people, who are older than Gen Alpha, flat out refuse to use VR for various reasons so they

Well, we inadvertently stopped having as much children. That should help, but our current system economic systems can’t handle falling birthrates

Going on a slight tangent, given how bifurcated the economy is - we are only a couple of meals away from a Butlerian Jihad. It’s hard to see this in our bubble if you don’t actively try to break out of it once in a while.

The notifications mostly suck unless they’re related to your heart or oxygen level, though you can choose to turn off what you don’t want. It’s the main reason why I wear an Apple Watch even though I’m a big fan of Pebble; loved my Pebble S

AI, but not the ASI or AGI kind, which makes you worry about the present since you don’t need a “god in a box” AI to end the world

I feel that it’s time that we stop spending our focus on designing UX inside boxes, but we are in VR and AR winter at the moment.

When the dev for BodyCam posted his initial streams, I thought it was fake. Also was a solo dev though I think he either has a partner or a team now

The Stardew Valley dev did do everything himself though

Unreal 5 is amazing with photo realism. Bodycam uses this feature well too

“ protects EU companies from more competitive foreign companies ” Tbf protectionist laws are everywhere now including the US. Globalism is dying. The spirit of the law was to protect people’s data from every entity including government bodi

This is just more evidence that the GDPR was just a set of protectionist laws for EU companies.

These are mainly political purges dressed up as “anti corruption drives”. Not ideal, but at least someone high up is getting punished compared to slaps on the wrist in the West.

That is obviously no longer the goal. It hasn’t been for years now. However, its original goal was to provide “every person on the planet free access to the sum of all human knowledge“.

I'm sure the Wikipedia mods have many great, valid reasons for deleting articles. Unfortunately for the ignorant masses, this has bad optics, since it looks like it runs counter to their goal of "cataloging all human knowledge&quo

Why make a pointless comment when you no longer have anything substantial or interesting to write, or is that an "eastern centric view"?

The CCP's recent yearly subsidies for China's EV industry ranges from $30 billion - $46 billion per year compared to $10 billion - $20 billion per year for the US. A conservative estimate of total subsidies lands China at about $2

Who cares if another country didn’t take advantage of globalism? This doesn’t weaken my argument that globalism is what helped China rise again from centuries of mismanagement and neglect

> such oversimplification on steroids is totally misleading. Yes, so the kettle is calling out the pot? > globalism was never invented or promoted to help any country in poverty It doesn’t matter what it was designed for. What matters

Sure, but not at China’s scale and no where close to number of industries where China does it. Why? The US was a net importer in order to support the dollar being the global reserve.

by chaostheory 3mo ago
What’s worse, tariffs or outright banning the competition from your market? China has done both despite globalism being what has lifted it from poverty. Why is everyone suddenly surprised that globalism and free markets are coming to an end

No, he means that the US will close most of its domestic market to competition just like China has for decades, and the US may start subsidizing and dumping its goods everywhere

My point is a good portion of HN is composed of pirates who don’t like rules and have a higher tolerance for risk. You can dislike that all you want for any given reason both valid and petty. However, what you’re seeing are core values from
