Thirteen years ago, this small youtube channel made imo very high quality meta comments about literary stuff and video games on youtube. (starting with the mass effect 3 ending and why it's bad)

Everything from low quality text, to selection of music, footage and the literary content is just... so good. And they're a comfortable 10-20 minutes each.

But I am also not sure if after he did what he did, there is really that much to say. The important part of that work is mental work and writing, and it will take forever to make even a single video.

Ja,... ich hab ein bisschen drüber nachgedacht, das stimmt schon, aber es hat das Ruder eben auch nicht so massiv rumgerissen das wir jetzt auf dem richtigen Weg wären. Es waren schon Fortschritte, aber eben nicht so drastisch wie wir sie brauchen um das Problem so radikal anzugehen wie es eigentlich wissenschaftlich und von der Bewegung gefordert wurde.

Kaum einer wollte hier für das Programm der öko-kapitalistischen Erneuerung in die Bresche springen.

Was war Ihre Reaktion?

Wir waren doch ziemlich überrascht.

Hä, da schlägt jemand dem Öko Spektrum einen grünen globalen Turbokapitalismus vor und die wollen das nicht?!?! Voll komisch. Ist doch Grün?!

Wachstum?!!

Ich verstehe das auch total das Fridays for Future "eingeschlafen" ist, die Proteste wurden maximal medial und polizeilich verfolgt und haben exakt null Wirkung in der Politsphäre erreicht. Wer die Message nach 10 jahren Protesten nicht hört, ist nicht taub oder dumm, oder sondern will nicht. Das hat die Bewegung verstanden.

Besonders im Kontrast zu den Bauern, die einfach nur mit Gerät anfahren müssen und sofort kriegen was sie wollen.

That's a bit different, because he's selling finished products. He can just check all the boxes from star wars over dnd to collectible card games and order the value pack from a middle man and then it's all about the location of the shop and the competition in the area.

You don't have to understand why a specific product works if what you're doing is essentially providing a mixed physical storefront for a bunch of corporations.

But this lady is now going to have to make important strategic decisions, about which games to give funding, which ones to cancel, what kind of hardware to even envision.

Compare it to valve, who sat down and build their own controller and handheld, because they looked at 20 years of market and product development and thought they could do better and delivered. You have to know a lot about why you want hardware for what purpose and what makes it better or worse for that purpose to do that.

XBOX, theoretically, same as any other big name in media, could be the place where a new media franchise is born that dominates the next 50 years of pop culture. THAT is the kind of position this is.

That they won't because they can't "build the next skyrim / WoW" is kind of the problem.

Being a personal fan of video games isn’t necessarily required to succeed in running a gaming company.

What the F***, yes it is.

(that's arstechnica saying that, not the new xbox boss person)

I don't think that's the problem.

By that fall, the Maine Learning Technology Initiative had distributed 17,000 Apple laptops to seventh graders across 243 middle schools. By 2016, those numbers had multiplied to 66,000 laptops and tablets distributed to Maine students.

The introduction of the iPhone in 2007 also didn’t help.

Like, wtf is that sentence even supposed to mean.

Pretty much every single time someone does a study on "technological* impact on learning" for example handwriting and typing, they mess with the methodology or they don't have a good control group or system. And then the result is always that their traditional system is better.

They never genuinely switch methods and put effort into TEACHING the new tech and with the new tech. Obviously you can't just hand out laptop and the competence just... diffuses into the kids, because internet. That's nonsense.

Horvath noted not only dipping test scores, but also a stark correlation in scores and time spent on computers in school, such that more screen time was related to worse scores.

one guy noticing a correlation better not be "good science" at this point.

openDemocracy’s website has been repeatedly brought down by an army of bots.

This website uses cookies to give you the best experience.

See, from my point of view, the problem is that the website is up, not that it was brought down?

Oh, funny, that's how the external link buttons got converted into text, let me fix that.

That's some very good, factual, number based information.

Someone in the journalism space actually did their job for once.

One thing that's a bit below the lines is:

In the last 12 months, the S&P 500 (.SPX), has risen around 14%. In dollar terms, Tokyo's Nikkei is up 43%, Europe's STOXX 600 (.STOXX), has surged 26%, Shanghai's CSI 300 (.CSI300), has returned 23% and Seoul's KOSPI has doubled in value.

But Dollar to Euro has actually weakened by 11% last year. Dollar to renminbi has weakened by 5%. So a good chunk of that "price surge in dollar" is just due the currency evaluation changing.

The rest is as "it's all over, panic sell everything now" as the factual part of the news will get

U.S.-domiciled investors have poured nearly $7 billion into European equity products, compared with an outflow of roughly $17 billion during the four years of Trump's first term from 2017 to 2021.

U.S. investors are pulling money out of their own stock market at the fastest pace in at least 16 years

16 years ago was the end of 2009, early 2010, after the real estate crash. We didn't have an official crash yet and people are moving that fast.

Pretty interesting stuff.

Ja, aber (hätte prominenter sein können) vor allen Dingen will ich die Rechnung sehen.

Du sagst nicht einfach "Quelle: hier sind drei Datenbanken, die Rechnung wird dem interssierten Leser überlassen".

Die haben das irgendwie mit Excel gemacht oder programmiert, ich will die Excel datei haben, oder den Programmcode lesen können.

Bzw.

Wenn du eine Überprüfung der Zahlen maximal behindern wollen würdest, würde ich es genau so machen wie es da gemacht wurde. Eine Tabelle ins PDF packen, ob die Zahlen aus der Tabelle stimmen muss ich selber abgleichen. Keine vorbereitete Rechnung

"Quelle: eigene Berechnungen"

🤡

Oh neeeeein, wenn wir doch nur ein Medium hätten in dem man die Daten und Berechnungen teilen könnte?!?!

Tja

ok.
