@nprofile1q... what properties of a person makes them both brilliant at planning a war and terrible at making a living in the regular world?
i'm playing bioshock for the first time
game: choose whether to HARVEST the little sister for ADAM or rescue her
me: rescue
game: are you sure?! you will need all the ADAM you can get!
me: yup. no...
@nprofile1q... it's not a meaningful choice. One of the sad game design fails IMO.
Game is excellent, though!

CAD removed the need for draftsmen but made design engineers much more valuable to their employers.
Are you a software draftsman, or a software design engineer?

This is a lot of jibba-jabba saying (I think, it’s a LOT of jibba-jabba) “taxing the rich is bad, actually” but all I needed to see was the txwitter icon on their footer and realize, oh yeah, no...

The data are pretty clear from other countries.
Taxes on income, including capital gains: good when not excessive.
Taxes on realized wealth: damper on innovation unless carefully managed.
Taxes on unrealized gains: absolutely a bad idea.
FWIW. When I grew up in Sweden in the 70s, we had taxes on unrealized gain. It did not work out well for the economy or citizens.

@nprofile1q... @nprofile1q... @nprofile1q... A typical American home forced air heating/cooling system will have one thermostat per zone, which controls an electric damper inside the duct per zone. Does that count?
@nprofile1q... we did that one twenty years ago and it was indicative FWIW.
Not hiring Gamedev anymore.
Think of it as a one day game jam on a theme!

@nprofile1q... show me how far you get in a day!
That's actually quite indicative -- which shortcuts do you take? What do you think is important?

@nprofile1q... but the data won't let the people in power do what they want to do to enrich themselves.
(Also, even with the same data, we may have different goals. "Minimize overall suffering" is not a universal goal, for example)
