In that case you're going from, for example 50% and 50% to 49% and 51%.

If you just have 100 people in a room divided evenly, and one person crosses the line in the middle, one side of the room has +1 person and the other is side has -1 person. There's a 2 person (2%) difference.

2 factor authentication via app/texting I'd imagine.

An authenticator app is better than basically anything but a physical token / key generator, but the apps are more universally supported. No one is probably going to spoof your phone number to get into your accounts.... But doesn't hurt to me more secure about it anyway.

I think I've mostly run across that with "no neutral" switches FWIW. It was confusing for a bit when setting up my garage.

Also very frustrating info to try and track down when buying sometimes.

They keep refering to them as "undocumented cellular radios", which either means they have no idea what they're talking about (very probable) or that they're concerned it's getting on the Internet. In theory, decades from now they could maybe all turn off simultaneously and cause a noticeable lack of power. I guess.

Mostly, it's very frustrating that the articles are all about what inverters and batteries are and that the US doesn't trust China, instead of what the things they say they found actually fucking are.

I can see thinking the tragedy of the commons is capitalist propaganda if you think there is a hard line between people and corporations.

The North Sea fishing industry didn't collapse because too many of the proletariat wanted to do a lot of fishing, it collapsed because thousands of people organized into dozens of groups that systematically overstrained the ecosystem. Because those groups wanted to make more profit for a small group of hundreds of people. Everyone involved was acting in their rational best interest with no oversight or regulation guarding the big picture view and it caused everyone involved to destroy their livelihoods. Other than the ones at the top who's livelihood is/was consolidating profit of course.

The tragedy of the commons isn't about how it's an individual's fault or responsibility. It's about how larger groups need disinterested guardrails for long term higher quality of life.

Yes, but littering used to be a legitimately big problem to. Like the hole in the ozone, now that it's "solved"/ the norm for it to be getting better the focus should shift to other things.

I mess with SC and S42 every few years, have access from the kickstarter from way back when.

They're fine. They're even neat. But Elite Dangerous gives 90% of what their original promises were and has much more demonstrable development progress. Planetary systems without a loading screen is not as impressive as it was in the early 2010s. Kerbal Space Program was created and died since then.

If you have to have someone enforce the land registry or the documents, what is the benefit of the database being zero trust?

A problem with AAA games is the development time is longer, the time spent working on the final game is not.

Time and time again when a game as been "in development" for 5/7/10+ years, the game that shipped was only really being worked on for the last year or two, once they finally got the design and gameplay nailed down and worked on the final game. Anthem is one of the more egregious examples in that some of the developers working on the game learned at the E3 presentation a year before launch that the game involved flying.

There's an iceberg of effort and only a fraction of it gets released.

Google Glass purposefully made it obvious what they were. The newer glasses without cameras from Meta et al basically look like regular glasses if you can't see the waveguide in the lenses.

I mean it is a religion, and they are zealots. There have been schisms before over both more and less (purgatory / indulgences, 'not my pope') than "is empathy important to Christianity".

"Religious" is not a synonym for "good" or "kind". It's about adherence to a belief system, which may conditionally include aspects of those attributes.
