  • If microtransactions are part of gameplay, they always lead to grind design that pushes to purchase to avoid the grind. If gameplay is fun without grind, why would anyone buy microtransactions.

    Cosmetics can be done well with transactions, but those are near non-existent today. There was few in the beginning, but probably they don’t sell enough for corporate overlords.

    In most European countries you get 2-3 paid leave days each month, so it almost happens here that week could be considered four working days.

    More in detail from Finland the law says that everyone must use two weeks from those in one go, once a year. Commonly people take four weeks summer and one week on winter.

    Also when you are on vacation, you get 1.5x the salary for that month. It is called “returning from holiday money” (lomaltapaluuraha). It ensures that you want to go back to working after being free for a moment :). That is not in law, but every union has that written in the general working contract. All work places are unionized here.

    And don’t confuse sick days to paid leave. If you are sick those never use vacation days. If you get sick on vacation, it doesn’t use your vacation days, because you are then on sick leave.









  • I verified the number because it doesn’t sound quite right. Walmart makes profit of roughly $20B yearly, per day that is $55M, the family owns around half.

    So they make like $25M per day.

    That is still insane amount of money, and probably also they do some tricks to lower the profit and hide the money through some loopholes, like all the millionaires/billionaires.

    Nobody needs that kind of money, so they should be taxed like hell, but not in this world

    Calling these new LLM’s just if statements is quite a over simplification. These are technically something that has not existed before, they do enable use cases that previously were impossible to implement.

    This is far from General Intelligence, but there are solutions now to few coding issues that were near impossible 5 years ago

    5 years ago I would have laughed in your face if you came to suggest that can you code a code that summarizes this description that was inputed by user. Now I laugh that give me your wallet because I need to call API or buy few GPU’s.
