It's a productivity boost for the people who have to generate the text that nobody reads. At an organisational level it's a wash caused by requiring that text in the first place

The (non-tech) industry I am in generates an enormous amount of text that it's fairly certain nobody reads past the executive summary.

My workmates love it. Amongst the tech community, I see a divide very similar to the crypto one - everybody who has a stake in it succeeding is very optimistic. Everybody working in other areas seems dubious at best.

Or a high visibility vest and a clipboard.

Really, who is going to catch you in this scenario?

Why not? There are companies dedicated to sprucing up houses for sale. They will even bake bread for you before inspections to give the place a "homey" smell.

Half an hour with a screwdriver seems doable

Not defending the ratings system here, but there is a big gap between M and R/X or whatever your country uses.

A better question would be if you would be more comfortable with your child being shown porn or snuff movies. For me the answer would be neither, in about an equal measure

This is really interesting. Can you say how much it costs the user to remove ads?

The classics are classics for a reason

The more constructive way of putting this would be to mention which browser you are using. Judging from the comments, it works in plenty of browsers

I found this game from a recommendation here and I have played it every day since. I think it's great. The rules take a bit of getting used to, but the dynamic of never having to guess (and getting penalised for guessing) makes it really interesting. It's just hard enough without being infuriating.

The page says that there are other Sam puzzles which can be played in html5, but the link only goes to the app store. Congrats on this one. Where can I find the browser versions of the others?

Looks nice but definitely in the "Why is this an app and not a webpage?" category for me

Yeah, that's a good one thanks

Fair enough. I would guess that daily games prevent me from bingeing and getting bored. The exception would be https://truncate.town/ - something about that game really clicks with me and I often play a "regular" (non-daily) game against the computer when I have a spare few minutes

If you are spending 30 minutes on the toilet, language fluency is not your biggest problem
