My spotify homepage has had a "discover weekly" playlist for like 10 years. Found some nice things there, changes every week.

Would be nice to also see decompression speed and maybe a photo as a bonus round.

Here in Belgium there's a village that's famous for doing this. Currently there's about 100 people there who are living with another family. https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gezinsverpleging_(Geel) If you translate you can read about it.

It's a summary of the title, but not of the article.

Pournelle's iron law of bureaucracy: In any bureaucracy, the people devoted to the benefit of the bureaucracy itself always get in control and those dedicated to the goals that the bureaucracy is supposed to accomplish have less and less influence, and sometimes are eliminated entirely.

I expected to experience something similar, but on reading, it's so over the top that my brain has no problem realizing it's a joke. Violent movies on the other hand I can't really enjoy much anymore.

>Are laws written by mediocre people hence full of loopholes?

Guy once told me his job was to write some law in Spain, or for the EU, or somewhere in between. He submits his writings to his bosses, who tell him (paraphrased): "it's too clear, too watertight. Go back and make it more ambiguous." So he did.

Tangentially, in his linked page "hall of shame" https://jon-cld.s3.amazonaws.com/test/ahall_of_fshame_SSIMUL... , he argues humans prefer row A to row C. Personally in most cases I prefer row C. It may have less color accuracy, but is often a lot sharper, which in my eyes stands out a lot more.

Funny, I quit this game after a couple of tries because I found it too hard. So even 6 year olds are better than me.

I've read those explanations of 'avalanche, thunder, earthquake, stampeding animals' before, but I think those are bunk. Most of those are far too rare to cause evolutionary pressure. Wolves, on the other hand... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UrU4OY6W1qE

Used for a nice effect in music too, in Ben Frost's the carpatians https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qheTGTNxRVs

Try listening to that in a dark room!

I had the same problem with sekiro, but found a fov fix (for pc) that also included a slowdown option. 95% speed was already enough for me to make it enjoyable, but still a challenge.

5 cents per gb seems pretty expensive. A quick google puts azure at 4cents/gb, as the most expensive of the big ones, and ones i haven't heard from at 1cent/gb.
