I love how the data from top players shows that they're using a build on the Pareto Front, i.e. that the wisdom of crowds settles on a meta that is optimum. I wonder if we analyzed…

Ha exactly. Can't let the kids win for free.

Ha - this was the first thing that came to mind. I read this in Arnold's voice.

I am OOTL - How does the EU force competition in this context?

That's crony capitalism again

I first learned about this in the army, called "tactical breathing". I still consistently use this before public speaking or if I feel myself in a manic/stressed state of mind.

Maybe legal red tape?

You're spot on (ex casino worker). There's no conspiracy. Speaking for myself, I was nice to people because it made me more money in tips (also, because I am not an a-hole). Made a…

It depends on what you mean by "win".

This is a common archetype when people get challenged (escalation of commitment), they effectively double down. I don't necessarily think it was racially motivated (but also don't …

I am honestly a bit disappointed it couldn't do basic things, like play X on Spotify. To be fair, I accidentally activated Grok for holding the voice command button too long (which…

I might be a dinosaur but I just can't stand laptops that have touch screen...

Tragedy of the commons / bounded rationality for example. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tragedy_of_the_commons

Meet still works on Pixel phones as a solution/parity for FaceTime. I wonder if it's bundled in the web build or they're the same build under the hood.

More billable hours.

Something I've found useful is just reaching out to past employees. Usually folks that don't work there anymore will be more transparent. Only challenge is getting someone to respo…

This made me laugh. I tried Epic because I got a free game that I was interested in, but could only play it on the Epic Game store. After a week, I was no longer able to login no m…

> For one there is no indication that parents are any more literate in regards to digital practices than their kids This one hit me recently. My 4th grader has a friend who is on t…

One of the scariest quotes I read from Why Markets Fail - John Cassidy, is a quote from a big wig at a large financial institution. While acknowledging being in a bubble the quote …

Isn't this just baked into the social fabric of humanity?

Exactly. You want zero risk asymmetric payouts.

This is my take as well. Nothing will improve until we roll back Citizens United.
