I stopped using Thunderbird on Linux when it deleted all of my RSS feeds.


Shopify is used for this sort of thing, supports payment with Stripe, and you can integrate it with Django. Should be straightforward.


The mean quality goes down, but the total number of games above a certain threshold goes up, which makes discoverability a bigger problem than it used to be, but, assuming we can solve that problem, makes the gaming industry better.


It isn't.


You've never spent much time around lower IQ people, I take it. The type of people who drive trucks, or bag groceries, and will never be able to do more than that. Good people, most of them, of course. But allergic to logical, deliberate thought, and barely capable of it when they try. Not everyone can do basic math, and many of those who can't, have no problem booking a hotel.

These CAPTCHAs require more thought than the platform otherwise does, therefore it will gate some people from using the platform.


Vivaldi has support for RSS feeds now. Vivaldi has been getting better and better. I urge anyone who hasn't tried it in the last year or two to check it out. It's the new Opera.


I wrote about this here: https://taylor.gl/blog/6/

It seems to be psychologically easier to justify adding things than removing them.


Note that a mouse does not need to solve the problem from scratch like a computer does. They are born with a general solution to the problem of movement in their brain, which has been arrived at by evolution.

To replicate this, you can't expect to get away with only replicating the complexity of the mouse. You potentially need a computer with as much complexity as the evolutionary algorithm which led to the mouse's movement algorithm.

Only for some cases. I've watched a horse being born and seen pictures of other newborns. The foal can stand within minutes, and the right sequence of moves is clearly built in because it works the first time. Newborn horses can walk within hours and run with the herd within days. Lying down, though, is not pre-stored. That's a confused collapse for the first few days. There's an evolutionary benefit to being able to get up and escape threats early, but smoothly lying down is less important.


This is a faulty argument, that might apply to primitive organisms with similarly primitive movement schemes.

Most complex organisms spend some time inside a protective shell of some form before getting out into the wild, where I suspect they learn to coordinate their orientation sensory organs with their limbs to produce necessary movement patterns.


Part of the problem with journalism is they're expected to publish regularly, even when they have nothing to say.


Is it possible that you have not yet formed the kind of temporal associations I mentioned in the article?
