  • It’s mostly covers of pop songs from the last 50-60 years in a bunch of different styles. The stand outs for me are Fortunate Son, Girls Just Wanna Have Fun and Everybody Wants To Rule The World.

  • First, this is a great explanation and example. That being said, tarrifs can be good for the country implementing them in a very narrow set of circumstances.

    Let’s say you are in a not very industrialized nation, maybe one recovering from colonialism or war. In that case almost everything is cheaper to import, and so it’s really difficult to get any economy going past subsistence farming. Targeted tariffs can help in that case to encourage local investment in the basic commodities needed to get the economy started.

    Similarly, if you have one specific part of your economy that you really care about but it needs some help getting going, tarrifs can help to grow that sector.

    In both cases, the tarrifs need to be narrowly targeted and be regularly monitored for when they should be phased out.

    But in all cases, a large economy raising broad tarrifs is stupid.

  • I really, really want to like KCD, but after a bad experience early on I've never been able to get back into it. There is a mission fairly early on where you need to sneak from one end of a large map to the other. There was a lot to do and explore on it, so it probably took me 60-90 minutes. Then right at the end I got jumped by 4-5 soldiers and died. And because of KCDs aggressivly-anti save system, I would have had to repeat the entire thing. I get that KCD is supposed to be super hard core, but I'm a busy dad of two small kids. Finding an uninterrupted pocket of 90 minutes to enjoy a game is a rare luxury, so having it ended like that completely soured the game for me.

    More games need a "busy parent" easy mode.

  • It’s alway weird to me that even though Ubuntu has the largest Linux desktop market share, no one admits to using it.

    Anyway, I use Ubuntu because I was doing a lot of ROS development when I last built a machine, and getting ROS running properly on other distros can be a pain.
