An important aspect missing in typical flow models is that in order to produce enduringcommitment a goal should correspond to something truly valuable. For example, while the goal ofshooting a maximum number of spaceships in your game of Space Invaders may be clear, it doesnot satisfy any real needs. Therefore, playing games, however enjoyable at the time, if continuedlong enough will eventually leave you with the feeling of having wasted your time. One way gamedesigners try to overcome this limitation is by creating a sense of “epic meaning” (McGonigal,2011), i.e. situating the game action in a narrative context which implies that something truly greator valuable is being achieved (like saving the world from alien invaders).

competitions or leaderboards, where players can compare their achievements with those ofother players, so that they are incited to do better than they did up to now• narratives, in which the challenges are situated within a concrete context or storyline, so thatindividual actions become part of an extended course of action within a meaningfulenvironment (Dickey, 2006; Heylighen, 2012a)• epic meaning, in which the impression is created that the player is working to achieve a goalthat is particularly important or awe-inspiring (McGonigal, 2011)• trophies or virtual goods, in which players receive virtual presents as a reward for theirachievement• gifting, in which players get the opportunity to give virtual presents to other players, thustightening links of friendship

But educational applications are merely the beginning: the recent development ofgamification applies the mechanisms of game design to enhance focus and motivation for nearlyany kind of activity (Deterding, Dixon, Khaled, & Nacke, 2011; Zichermann & Cunningham,2011). It is used in particular by businesses and organizations to goad people into performing tasksthat are useful for the organization—but not intrinsically rewarding for the individual. Examples areparticipating in surveys, filling in forms, or joining customer loyalty programs. While performingthese activities, respondents are given the kinds of points, “badges”, or bonuses that are used assymbolic rewards in games. This constant feedback motivates them to contribute additionally, so asto attain ever-higher total scores. Moreover, the more points they have gathered already, the lessthey are inclined to lose these points by prematurely stopping the activity—a psychological bias forcontinuity known as “sunk costs” (Garland & Newport, 1991).

The result is that the best games tend to be addictive, as playersare so strongly motivated to continue the play that they find it difficult to get back to their normalactivities (Grüsser, Thalemann, & Griffiths, 2006; Kim, Namkoong, Ku, & Kim, 2008).

“[Idea] sourcing is mostly following the news flow and  paying attention. Having been at this  game a little while, it’s a bit simpler to identify the  particular drivers for each idea and to decide which ideas to allocate more time to.”

Like all games, the engagement, novelty, and fun that gamificaiton brings will wax and wane, so its beneficial effects may last from days to months.

Competition is a necessary game mechanic that greatly promotes user engagement, creating positive peer pressure and leading to a situation in which everyone strives to surpass others (Suh et al., 2017).

Choosing the appropriate game elements, game mechanics, and dynamics to formulate effective gamified job design strategies is at the core of setting up a well-designed gamified system.

Without employees’ sense of individual agency, games in the workplace may greatly lose their capability to increase engagement and productivity.

To gamify efficiently, designers need to select appropriate game elements and mechanics to match the identified objects or tasks and then evaluate effectiveness by analyzing indicators such as satisfaction, quality, and fun (Aparicio, Vela, Sánchez, & Montes, 2012).

First, gamification generates intrinsic motivation through challenge, curiosity, competition, and some other motivators that are dominant traits embedded in human nature (Kamel, Watfa, Lobo, & Sobh, 2017).

anticipations is key to 01:08:38 everything and attention is key to everything so every organism does that plants and everything else and it doesn't require a central nervous system 01:08:51 and and you i might add to this that not only is every organism cognitive but essentially every organism organism is cooperative to those cooperation and cognition 01:09:03 go hand in hand because any intelligent organism any organism that can act to better its you know viability is going to cooperate in 01:09:17 meaningful ways with other organisms and you know other species and things like that nice point because um there's cost to communication whether it's exactly whether it's the cost of making the pheromone 01:09:30 or just the time which is super finite or attention fundamentally and so costly interactions through time the game theory are either to exploit and stabilize which is fragile 01:09:42 or to succeed together yeah exactly and and and succeeding together cooperation is is is like everywhere once you once you understand what you're looking 01:09:54 for it's in the biologic world it's like everywhere so this idea that we're you know one one one person against all or you know we're a dog eat dog universe i mean it's you 01:10:08 know in a certain sense it's true obviously tigers eat you know whatever they eat zebras or whatever i mean that happens yes of course but in the larger picture 01:10:19 over and over multiple time scales not just uh you know in five minutes but over evolutionary time scales and uh you know developmental time scales and everything the cooperation is really the rule 01:10:33 for the most part and if you need if any listener needs proof of that just think of who you think of your body i mean there's about a trillion some trillion some cells 01:10:45 that are enormously harmonious like your blood pumps every day or you know this is a this is like a miracle i don't want to use the word miracle because i want to get into 01:10:59 whatever that might imply but uh it is amazing aw inspiring the the depth of cooperation just in our own bodies is like that's that's like 01:11:12 evolution must prefer cooperation or else there would never be such a complex uh pattern of cooperation as we see just in one human body 01:11:26 just to give one example from the bees so from a species i study it's almost like a sparring type of cooperation because when it was discovered that there were some workers with developed ovaries 01:11:38 there was a whole story about cheating and policing and about altruism and this equation says this and that equation says that and then when you take a step back it's like the colony having a distribution of over-reactivation 01:11:51 may be more ecologically resilient so um i as an evolutionary biologist never think well my interpretation of what would be lovey-dovey in this system must be how it works because that's so 01:12:05 clearly not true it's just to say that there are interesting dynamics within and between levels and in the long run cooperation and stable cooperation and like learning to adapt 01:12:17 to your niche is a winning strategy in a way that locking down just isn't but unfortunately under high um stress and 01:12:29 uh high uncertainty conditions simple strategies can become rife so that's sort of a failure mode of the population

One of the sad ironies of our time is that we have become very good at studying nature just as it begins to sicken and die under our weight. “Weight” is no mere metaphor: of all land mammals and birds alive today, humans and their livestock make up 96 per cent of the biomass; wildlife has dwindled to four per cent. This has no precedent. Not so far back in history the proportions were the other way round. As recently as 1970, humans were only half and wildlife more than twice their present numbers. These closely linked figures are milestones along our rush towards a trashed and looted planet, stripped of diversity, wildness, and resilience; strewn with waste. Such is the measure of our success.

The first trap was hunting, the main way of life for about two million years in Palaeolithic times. As Stone Age people perfected the art of hunting, they began to kill the game more quickly than it could breed. They lived high for a while, then starved.

Dr. Ben-Dor: "Our findings enable us to propose a fascinating hypothesis on the development of humankind: humans always preferred to hunt the largest animals available in their environment, until these became very rare or extinct, forcing the prehistoric hunters to seek the next in size. As a result, to obtain the same amount of food, every human species appearing in the Southern Levant was compelled to hunt smaller animals than its predecessor, and consequently had to develop more advanced and effective technologies. Thus, for example, while spears were sufficient for Homo erectus to kill elephants at close range, modern humans developed the bow and arrow to kill fast-running gazelles from a distance." Prof. Barkai concludes: "We believe that our model is relevant to human cultures everywhere. Moreover, for the first time, we argue that the driving force behind the constant improvement in human technology is the continual decline in the size of game. Ultimately, it may well be that 10,000 years ago in the Southern Levant, animals became too small or too rare to provide humans with sufficient food, and this could be related to the advent of agriculture. In addition, we confirmed the hypothesis that the extinction of large animals was caused by humans -- who time and time again destroyed their own livelihood through overhunting. We may therefore conclude that humans have always ravaged their environment but were usually clever enough to find solutions for the problems they had created -- from the bow and arrow to the agricultural revolution. The environment, however, always paid a devastating price."

Findings indicate a continual decline in the size of game hunted by humans as their main food source -- from giant elephants 1-1.5 million years ago down to gazelles 10,000 years ago. According to the researchers, these findings paint an illuminating picture of the interaction between humans and the animals around them over the last 1.5 million years.

A groundbreaking study by researchers from Tel Aviv University tracks the development of early humans' hunting practices over the last 1.5 million years -- as reflected in the animals they hunted and consumed. The researchers claim that at any given time early humans preferred to hunt the largest animals available in their surroundings, which provided the greatest quantities of food in return for a unit of effort.

Coming from game development

One should have great patience. We should let the child arrive at a sense of success, but we should not handicap ourselves (we should not give up major pieces or an advantage in pawns), because in that case the structure of the game changes. Preferably the parents or teachers should provide a temporal handicap, or weave intentional mistakes into the game, so that the child can use them for themself. During the game the tutor should organize their position on the board intentionally as is appropriate for the student and the development of the child at their age.

Abstract: Video games are often studied as “texts” that tell stories and as interac-tive technologies for play, but they can also be studied as artifacts using the archivalmethod. In this chapter, Judd Ethan Ruggill and Ken S. McAllister outline the archi-val method for game analysis, drawing specifically on the 1981 Atari arcade classicTempest to show how a game is more than the sum of its individual components;it is the sum of the many cultures, aesthetics, and industry practices that drive thegame development process.

TƯ DUY LÀM STARTUP: CẦN "XÂY MÓNG THẬT VỮNG CHẮC TRƯỚC, XÂY NHÀ SAU"Đang trong giai đoạn viết ebook phần 2 bổ sung miễn phí cho ae đã mua hôm trước, nên tranh thủ nhắn cafe với anh Dong Xuan Nguyen để "lượm chữ" về viết tiếp. Quả là không uổng công sức chút nào!Nội dung học được buổi này đáng giá "tiền tỷ" với riêng mình, nên ae chịu khó ĐỌC KỸ & cho 1 #like nha! (Lâu lắm rồi chưa có post nào trên 2k like). kkNói thật là mình ko biết background a Đông khủng vậy, cho đến khi ngồi cafe với ảnh hôm nay:- Thời 2005 đã bắt đầu phát triển trang anhso-net với anh Nguyễn Bá Đức, giờ a Đức đang phát triển Homedy rất đình đám (cái này mình mới đọc sách "Từ nông thôn đến triệu đô" của anh Tuấn A1 về case Coolmate mới biết đó)- Anh cũng từng đồng sáng lập phát triển một cty agency, sau đó bán lại. (trước mình có đọc cuốn sách nào đó, có nói game xây doanh nghiệp xong bán là CON ĐƯỜNG LÀM GIÀU NHANH NHẤT). Cách làm này rất giống với thằng bạn @Hứa Phước Trường của mình. kk- Sang năm 2015 a Đông tại tiếp tục startup & là đồng sáng lập của Ecomobi, giờ doanh nghiệp này chắc phải vài chục triệu đô (mình đoán vậy, hoặc có thể trên trăm-triệu-đô rồi)- Chưa dừng lại ở đó, a Đông cũng là người "đứng sau" hỗ trợ cho Coolmate "xây móng" từ ngày đầu, và có cổ phần tại doanh nghiệp này. (Định giá gần nhất ~20 triệu đô, và tốc độ đang tăng trưởng thần tốc x nhiều lần, hướng đến IPO vài giai đoạn 2025)- Bất ngờ hơn a Đông còn đang làm việc với vai trò quỹ đầu tư, đã đầu tư chục startup khác, và cũng đang tìm kiếm các cơ hội "xuống tiền". Nên ae nào làm startup tranh thủ hẹn a Đông cafe để "bào tiền" lúc quỹ của ảnh đang còn nhiều cash nha! kk- ...Đó là vài thông tin về a Đông để ae trust hơn với nội dung, và dưới là một số chủ đề ae nói chuyện & hỏi đáp trong buổi cafe...1. Làm startup cần "xây móng thật vững". Nên trang bị năng lực vững vàng để lựa chọn hướng đi đúng, làm chậm rãi & chắc chắn ở những bước đầu tiên. Có “móng vững” rồi thì bước “xây nhà” sẽ không khó nữa & bền vững hơn. Nếu có mentor giỏi/nhiều kinh nghiệm định hướng cho việc này sẽ tốt hơn, để quá trình build doanh nghiệp chuẩn chỉnh & phát triển xa được. (Mình cũng đang nhờ a Đông góp ý để "tái cấu trúc" lần thứ n cho ATP Holdings)2. Làm startup, khát vọng/ước mơ của nhóm founders rất quan trọng, từ những khát vọng đó mới ra được plan thực thi & kết quả. Nhưng người làm startup cũng phải thực tế với nguồn lực của mình chứ đừng quá viển vông (Chúng ta sẽ ntn sau 3-5 năm nữa? Tại sao phải làm nó? Kế hoạch cụ thể ntn?)3. Quan điểm mình làm doanh nghiệp trước giờ theo hướng đơn giản, tập trung sự hiệu quả để ra lợi nhuận sớm, tiết kiệm & an toàn (ko bỏ nhiều vốn, ko cần gọi vốn). Nhưng cũng vì đó mà có những vấn đề nhất định trong doanh nghiệp sau 3-5 năm & tăng trưởng chậm. A Đông bảo nên thay đổi tư duy chút sẽ đi nhanh hơn: "nếu em là cô gái đẹp, thì nên biết tô son thêm sẽ đẹp hơn, sẽ được nhiều người khác để mắt đến hơn & nâng giá trị của mình lên".4. Một cái cây muốn phát triển nhanh hơn & bền vững đôi khi phải biết hi sinh/cắt đi những cành lá gây "cồng kềnh" & ảnh hưởng đến sự phát triển của chính nó. Nhiều mô hình DN gặp vấn đề về mặt scale up, hoặc khi lớn lên/khi có nhiều khách hàng hơn thì biên lợi nhuận giảm vì sự cồng kềnh trong khâu vận hành.5. Khi bàn về vấn đề nhân lực giỏi, mình có đề cấp đến background & năng lực học tập trước đây của các bạn. A Đông giải thích, "Tại sao bọn giỏi chúng nó lại giỏi? (chủ đề này ae thảo luận khá sâu)- Vì sự TẬP TRUNG của "chúng nó"- Vì sự quyết tâm/khát vọng đã hơn rất nhiều những đứa bình thường khác- Vì phương pháp học tập- Vì thói quen/quản lý bản thân/sự chủ động- Vì phát triển đúng sở trường/điểm mạnh- Vì có trang bị các kỹ năng mềm & cứng nhất định- Vì tư chất/năng khiếu/có đầu óc tốt- Vì môi trường ("bọn Ngoại Thương" đầu vào cũng đã là một BỘ-LỌC rồi, nhưng ở đó cũng có môi trường tốt để chúng nó phát triển. A Đông, Nhu (Coolmate) cũng là dân FTU)- Vì khả năng tư duy & giải quyết vấn đề của chúng nó- ...Nên doanh nghiệp nếu thu hút được nhân lực giỏi này về, "đặt đúng chỗ" nữa sẽ phát triển đi xa được. Chơi được với bọn thủ khoa/á khoa các trường top là ngon. 6. Bàn về một số mô hình startup, một số gợi ý "ngon" mà ATP có thể tập trung được.7. Kinh nghiệm làm việc với các co-founders, các nhân lực giỏi ngang tuổi & lớn hơn mình. -> Đó là xây dựng VĂN HÓA TỔ CHỨC & SỰ RÕ RÀNG ngay từ đầu, mỗi người tập trung được THẾ MẠNH của mình & khéo léo kết hợp với nhau. Như case Coolmate 3 co-team là Nhu Phạm (CEO) - Xuân Lan (CMO) - a Hiệp (CTO) kết hợp với nhau rất nhuần nhuyễn. (Mà thực tế theo mình để binh được cơ chế rõ-ràng này cần rất nhiều kinh nghiệm, là TÍNH CÁCH phù hợp/nhượng bộ, tinh thần startup hướng đến mục tiêu chung,... Có vậy DN mới đi xa được)8. Tư duy về việc chọn "game ngon để chơi", chọn mô hình làm startup đúng rất quan trọng. Làm startup cần có sự mới mẻ, sáng tạo riêng. Như case Coolmate có rất nhiều "sáng tạo đột phá" để có được như bây giờ. Tại sao có những DN định giá chỉ vài trăm triệu/vài tỷ, mà có những DN khác lại định giá hàng triệu đô/hàng chục triệu đô? (Nó đến từ tư duy chọn game, và cách chơi game?)9. Founder muốn đi nhanh & xa cần HÀNH ĐỘNG & CAM KẾT (Nhu - Coolmate, là hình mẫu của founder như này).10. Ở góc độ quỹ đầu tư, cũng có những áp lực giải ngân vốn, lựa chọn các startup để đầu tư. Cũng có những quyết định sai, thường là bởi: dữ liệu đầu vào không chính xác, và đánh giá sai năng lực founder. Founder giỏi & "cháy hết mình" với dự án là yếu tố quyết định lớn đến sự thành bại.11. Hỏi thêm về các campaign ngon ở Ecomobi để tạo ra tiền tốt. Cái này dự án ATP Media đang rất cần để tối ưu luôn. Đang có >10tr traffics từ SEO mỗi tháng mà kiếm tiền bèo bọt quá!12. Nếu muốn IPO, phải trả lời câu hỏi "Tại sao phải làm nó?", và "sau 3 năm nữa sau IPO sẽ ntn?". Rất nhiều case doanh nghiệp công nghệ sau IPO đều tệ hơn như: Yeah1, Grab, Uber,...13. Chủ doanh nghiệp & teamwork phải giữ được "lửa" trên hành trình khởi nghiệp. Xây dựng cơ chế & chính sách để đội ngũ có động lực làm việc mạnh mẽ14. Nhiệm vụ của cấp quản lý, nên tập trung vào ĐỊNH HƯỚNG, đào tạo nhân lực. Đào tạo kỹ năng mềm & quản lý cảm xúc khi làm việc của nhân sự. Nó cũng góp phần xây dựng văn hóa đội ngũ gắn kết, các startup rất cần tập trung yếu tố này để giữ người & teamwork có nhiệt huyết làm việc.15. Thế mạnh của các nhà đầu tư thiên thần (Angel investors) như a Đông là xuất phát điểm từ dân làm startup mười mấy năm, không như một số ae làm tài chính sang. Nên có thể hỗ trợ về mặt định hướng, kinh nghiệm & giúp nhiều hoạt động khác cho startup ngoài tiền.16. Làm doanh nghiệp sẽ có hàng nghìn thứ ngớ ngẩn ập đến, vì những thứ nhỏ nhưng nó sẽ ảnh hưởng đến tâm lý của chúng ta. Nên làm sao chuẩn chỉnh ngay từ đầu. Nhất là khâu thuế má/giấy tờ, thông tin minh bạch, mô hình chuẩn chỉnh,... (có kế toán giỏi & thuê dịch vụ luật bên ngoài rà soát các hoạt động đang làm thường xuyên)17. Một vài thông tin về cách định giá doanh nghiệp startup? Cách xây dựng startup ban đầu ntn để dễ gọi vốn?, Cách để bán thành công DN? Lộ trình chuẩn bị cho IPO?,... A Đông vẫn đang chưa có case về IPO thành công, còn lại mấy cái khác hầu như ảnh đều đã trải qua hết & có rất nhiều kinh nghiệm về nó. Trong buổi cafe mình đặt rất nhiều câu hỏi, nhưng buổi cafe ngắn ngủi nên thông tin chưa đủ sâu. Để hẹn a Đông thêm các buổi cafe thứ 2,3 để có thêm từng keys sâu chia sẻ với ae. @@...Sau buổi cafe này, nếu làm dự án nào đó mới, chắc chắn sẽ nhờ a Đông tư vấn "xây móng thật vững" trước để có game gọi vốn win, có startup nhiều triệu đô để chém gió, để showcase viết ebook kiếm tiền lẻ tiếp. kk

is most-ly a sham. You know the game. In the Bush White House, youcoached judicial nominees to just tell Senators that they have ‘‘acommitment to follow Supreme Court precedent, that they will ad-here to statutory text, that they have on ideological agenda.’’ Fairytales.At his hearing, Justice Roberts infamously said he would justcall balls and strikes, but this pattern, 73–0, of the Roberts Fivequalifies him to have NASCAR-style corporate badges on his robes.Alito said in his hearing what a strong principle stare decisiswas, an important limitation on the Court. Then he told the Fed-eralist Society, ‘‘Stare decisis means to leave things decided whenit suits our purposes.’’

A nested game is what it sounds like -- a game within a game. It recognizes that the actors in most real-world settings are not unified and have conflicting motives. The classic example is the failure of a proposed Middle East peace deal because some hard-line faction sponsored a terror attack or an assassination. The agreement was never just the two sides dealing with each other; each side was also dealing with its own internal conflicts.

LÂU RỒI MÌNH KHÔNG ĐỂ Ý ĐẾN THỊ TRƯỜNG TÀI CHÍNH, HÔM NAY LÀM POST CẬP NHẬT VỀ QUAN ĐIỂM & GÓC NHÌN CÁ NHÂN…Thị trường tài chính VN & thế giới giai đoạn vừa qua đang vào “mùa đông”, hầu hết các kênh đầu tư đều giảm…- Chứng khoán giảm mạnh- Crypto chia-tan-nát- Bất động sản chựng lại, giá nhiều nơi ít nhiều có giảm & khó thanh khoản hơn- …Giai đoạn này, nếu ai đó may mắn đang cầm tiền mặt, gửi bank, mua vàng,… thì thắng lớn. (Hoà & lãi nhẹ tức đã thắng)- Mức giảm 10-20% được xem là ngon, lỗ nhẹ- Mức giảm 20-50% là bình thường (đám đông bị, mình thuộc nhóm này)- Mức giảm 50-80% cũng rất nhiều, kể cả chứng khoán nhiều cp cũng giảm mức này. Chứ ko chỉ riêng trong thị trường crypto- …Review hoạt động đầu tư của mình giai đoạn 6 tháng 2022 này- Chứng khoán đang lỗ ~1,5 tỷ tính từ đầu năm (nhờ ăn may cash out mua bđs ngay gần đỉnh nên lỗ ít)- Crypto đang lỗ ~2 tỷ- BĐS ko rõ, vì cũng ko để ý giá cả lắm-> Nhưng mình vẫn rất BÌNH THẢN, vì vẫn đảm bảo quản lý TỶ TRỌNG trong các kênh đầu tư: 80% bđs - 15% ck - 5% crypto. Số tiền lỗ cũng chỉ vài % tỷ trọng tài sản, nên cũng chẳng ảnh hưởng gì… Một phần tâm lý thoải mái cũng nhờ giai đoạn 2020-2021 có lãi, nên số lỗ đợt này cũng chỉ là một phần lợi nhuận 2 năm trước. Mình đã cash out 2 lần để mua được 3 BĐS nhờ hoạt động đầu tư tài chính này…NHÌN LẠI CÁC QUYẾT ĐỊNH & CHIA SẺ VỀ ĐẦU TƯ…- Cái sai lớn nhất của mình là thích feeling, trải nghiệm & sharing nên quay lại với crypto đợt cuối năm ngoái. Dù số tiền mất ko nhiều nhưng để lại khá nhiều hệ luỵ… - Cái sai tiếp theo là CHỦ QUAN trong quá trình chia sẻ thông tin, giai đoạn 2020-2021 được xem là MAY MẮN, những chia sẻ lúc đó có phần đúng nhiều. Đến khi vào “mùa đông” mới thấy cảnh. Và đâu phải ai cũng kịp phản ứng & dám-cắt-lỗ khi downtrend đâu!- Mỗi post mình chia sẻ thường cảnh báo về quan điểm cá nhân, độ rủi ro, quản trị vốn,… khi đầu tư tài chính. Nhưng một số ae ko dễ nhận thức tầm quan trọng của nó & làm tốt điều này! Sorry mọi người! - Tiếp đến là những dự đoán, kỳ vọng về vnindex/về kinh tế VN sẽ khả quan hơn. Và “cú sập” ngoài dự tính của mình & nhiều chuyên gia khác, dù vẫn luôn tâm thế sẵn sàng cho “thiên nga đen” có thể xảy ra & nắm bắt cơ hội khi nó xảy ra…- Nhưng cũng nói thêm, giai đoạn 2019 mình đã bắt đầu nói về bds, giai đoạn 2020 mình chia sẻ về chứng khoán,… các giai đoạn trước phần lớn mọi người đều win khi đầu tư. Nhưng ở giai đoạn này, 80-90% đều mất tiền, kể cả các NĐT 10-20 năm kinh nghiệm & các quỹ lớn. Nhưng THUA LỖ là một phần của “game”, việc quan trọng vẫn là phản ứng tiếp theo ra sao để kiếm tiền tốt?- …NÊN NHƯ THẾ NÀO GIAI ĐOẠN NÀY?- Các kênh tài chính giảm sâu, mình nghĩ rằng chưa thể tăng ngay được. Mà cần thời gian tích luỹ, tạo SỰ-CHÁN-NẢN cho phần lớn NĐT nhỏ lẻ để gom hàng (kéo dài 6-12 tháng, thậm chí 1-2 năm). Vẫn có các nhịp trồi sụt & ae vẫn có thể kiếm tiền được nếu giỏi…- Mình đã & đang tập trung LÀM KINH DOANH, rất ít bận tâm đến hoạt động đầu tư. Chỉ lâu lâu vào check xem thị trường đang ntn để cập nhật thôi…- Ae cũng nên dành thời gian nghiên cứu sâu hơn, ngồi chiêm nghiệm đúc kết xem vì sao mình win/fail trong quá khứ, trang bị vững kiến thức về từng kênh đầu tư. Để các quyết định đúng hơn trong tương lai… Ưu tiên thời gian để KIẾM TIỀN, tạo cash mới giai đoạn này.- Mỗi khi thị trường sập sâu hơn, mình lại thấy CƠ HỘI LỚN, thấy tiềm năng để mua tài sản với giá rẻ mạt khi “đám đông” chán nản- …Nên nhớ!- CHƯA BÁN TỨC CHƯA LỖ! (Chúng ta vẫn kỳ vọng, vẫn nói về con số 1600 điểm, 1800đ, 2000đ,… ráng KIÊN NHẪN nhiều năm để chờ đến lúc đó)- Chứng khoán giảm sâu rồi, vẫn có thể giảm sâu hơn!- Nhiều NĐT dù trải qua giai đoạn thua lỗ 80% tỷ trọng tài sản, nhưng biết cách vẫn có thể vực dậy & x5-10 lần tài sản trong tương lai- Hạn chế bắt đáy, dò đáy- Đừng TẤT TAY & sử dụng tiền vay mượn để đầu tư. Chỉ nên dùng một phần tiền nhàn rỗi- Hạn chế giao dịch trong “thị trường gấu”- Đừng vì mất mát lớn mà ác cảm, oán ghét thị trường. Bỏ qua các cơ hội lớn. Hay hành động bán ở đáy & lại fomo tiếp khi thị trường lập đỉnh ở các chu kỳ mới (mình cũng từng bị tâm lý này ở tt crypto)- Chuẩn bị cho CÚ ĐÁNH LỚN khi cơ hội đến. Những cổ phiếu tốt vẫn có thể giảm 50-70% giá trị so với đỉnh, và tăng 300-500% khi vào chu kỳ mới… Đó là cơ hội ĐỔI ĐỜI nếu chúng ta biết nắm bắt! (Riêng mình vẫn tin tưởng sẽ kiếm thêm được vài lô bđs trong ttck giai đoạn tới. Vài năm tới, ko phải vài tháng. Cụ thể lúc nào mình vẫn ko rõ! @@)- Cũng lưu ý: post này ae đọc tham khảo cho vui thôi, chứ mình SAI-QUÁ-NHIỀU-LẦN-RỒI. Đừng nên quá tin vào định hướng hay quan điểm của ai đó, chuyên gia vài chục năm trên thương trường vẫn sai như thường. Ae nên tự trang bị NGUYÊN TẮC ĐẦU TƯ cho riêng mình & hành động theo nó…Giai đoạn cuối 2021 & đầu 2022, thị trường FOMO mạnh, F0 tham gia mới NHIỀU-KHỦNG-KHIẾP, số tài khoản liên tục lập đỉnh (5/2022 là 476.711 tài khoản, ~2,5 triệu tài khoản mới trong 12 tháng gần nhất). Phần lớn mọi người đều sẽ bị “kẹp hàng” & lỗ sâu khi tham gia tt trước đó.Tuy nhiên nếu nhìn dài hạn, tỉnh táo hơn! Xem khoảng lỗ hiện tại là TẠM THỜI, tạm quên nó đi. Tập trung kiếm tiền & mua mới/trung bình giá khi CỔ PHIẾU CÓ GIÁ RẺ MẠT. Là lúc ae gỡ gạc được những gì đã mất? (P/s: nói gì nói, tâm lý cần thoải mái. Đừng như “con bạc” mà để ảnh hưởng quá nhiều khi đầu tư).

glanced at Hermione who was scowling down at her knees, wet eyed and furious. He remembered her words from the day after the troll incident, that no one had even realised she was missing, and they hadn't cared when she came back so obviously upset. He then looked back at the quidditch match and saw her year-mates in one of the stands opposite going crazy, cheering and jumping up and down.They cared more about this game than her life.He sighed quietly through his nose. Children were cruel. They would always be cruel, no matter what world they happened to be in, because children were all inherently selfish little beasts who would sell you out for a crust of bread if given the opportunity.He shouldn't.She would just betray him the same way Ning Yingying did. The way Liu-shizhi did.[ (๑◕︵◕๑) Host can't think like that forever, or Host will never be happy, never trust, never love. It takes much bravery System knows, especially when one has been betrayed as much as Host has. But don't let the past steal your future Host!! ヽ(≧Д≦)ノ ]Had he still been in his old body, had he still been on Qing Jing Peak, he would have brushed those words away as so much noise, like dust on his shoulder. What would the System know of it? What could anyone know of his pain or his suffering? But right now, Shen Jiu was looking at the world with fresh eyes and a child's mind and he found himself hesitating to just throw the words away like he had many similar sentiments.He rolled them around thoughtfully.'Don't let the past steal your future', huh? A strange sentiment but he couldn't find a fault with it. Truly the past shaped the future, it guided it, but all it did was open doors. It was the walker who chose which ones to go through, which ones to travel to. He looked around himself at the cheering children, at the flying game, at Hermione's hand in his own as she sniffled and tried to dry her tears without him or anyone else noticing. At Su Li who turned to grin at him wildly, pointing to the Gryffindor chasers and asking if he'd seen that! He nodded silently, and she turned her attention back to the match with bright eyed enthusiasm. He looked out at the game, and watched as a Slytherin made the conscious choice to grab a girl by the head instead of the ball in her hands, and nearly twist her head off as they flew at break neck speeds.He chose that.Over a game.Shen Jiu tilted his head at the minor penalty assigned to him, as the girl in question grimaced and cracked her neck and had to go down for medical attention.The rivalry between Gryffindor and Slytherin was generations long, since the founding of the school, since Slytherin himself was driven from the halls for threatening the students. But as they say, victory is written by the victors. It had been over a thousand years, who was left to say otherwise? Who knew the truth, really?But it was a conscious choice made by the students to continue it, from their parents to their children, to their childrens' children. They chose to let their past poison their future. To the point where little girls nearly had their neck's snapped in school games. All because of the colour of their ties. Or the blood in their veins.Shen Jiu swallowed and tightened his grip on Hermione's hand as he realised that he had allowed his past to control his future, that he had allowed Qiu Jianluo to puppet him from his nightmares into his present. He had treated Ning Yingying as he had seen Qiu Jianluo treat Haitang, because he had no other frame of reference on how you treated a treasured female family member. He treated Ming Fan the same way, no, he treated Ming Fan the way he had seen Sect Leader treat Yue Qingyuan – not the way his own Shizun had treated him. Because he knew even then his Shizun hated him, and for all that Ming Fan was incapable of thinking the majority of his actions through, he was a teenager, and he would grow out of that eventually. Luo Binghe.... He treated the little beast no differently than any other student on his peak. If Ming Fan had been at the heart of so many fights, he would have forced the boy to kneel and accept the beatings his martial siblings bestowed upon him, perhaps he would stop picking them if he knew that they would be beating him for it later. If Ning Yingying had been caught stealing he would have made her cut her own bamboo and striped her back bloody with it personally, regardless of if it was food from the kitchens or not. Food taken without permission into your own mouth was food taken out of the mouths of your martial siblings, and unacceptable. If either of them had opted to skip their cultivation lessons in favour of whatever the hell it was that Luo Binghe thought was so much more important, then they too would have their chore list increased.But he was – clearer minded now.He – could look back and see that there had been things amiss that he had not noticed the first time.Luo Binghe reminded him of himself when he first came to Qing Jing, only better at hiding his darkness. Ning Yingying took one look at those starry eyes and immediately thought him a puppy, the same way Qiu Haitang took a look at him and decided she'd found herself a cute fluffy cat. But while Shen Jiu had never even tried to pretend to be anything but what he was, Luo Binghe was a wolf in sheep's clothing, sniffing around his Shijie's skirts repulsively instead of minding his cultivation.He slept in the woodshed, which was fine, Shen Jiu had slept in there as a Disciple rather than go into the dormitories as well – it had never occurred to him that it hadn't been by choice, not until it was listed as one of the boy's many grievances against him in that sham trial of Huan Hua's. So his martial siblings must have forced him out. Which... all those fights Luo Binghe found himself in, were they truly fights he had instigated? What of the strangely bitter tea that the child first presented to him? Ming fan knew how he preferred his tea, knew he was sensitive to any unusual tastes, knew he would react poorly to any attempt to drug him –Shen Jiu bit his lower lip.Had Ming Fan lied to him? His head disciple? Had his head disciple lied to him? The one young man, the one student, he allowed into his home, trusted to prepare his food and tea? Have access to his personal seal? He swallowed, suddenly chilled. What had that stupid little boy done in Shen Jiu's name?The match ended in Slytherin's victory when the Beaters smashed the Gryffindor Seeker off his broom and into the stands, giving their own Seeker time to leisurely scoop the ball out of the air as though he were plucking a flower from a field.

The challenge for clinicians is balancing educating patients on the validity of these devices with patients' enthusiasm for objective data. Incorporating the use of sleep trackers into cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia will be important as use of these devices is rapidly expanding among our patient population.

In game theory, a focal point (or Schelling point) is a solution that people tend to choose by default in the absence of communication. The concept was introduced by the American economist Thomas Schelling in his book The Strategy of Conflict (1960).[1] Schelling states that "(p)eople can often concert their intentions or expectations with others if each knows that the other is trying to do the same" in a cooperative situation (at page 57), so their action would converge on a focal point which has some kind of prominence compared with the environment. However, the conspicuousness of the focal point depends on time, place and people themselves. It may not be a definite solution.

The credit-based global financial system we have constructed and participated in over the past century has to continually grow or die. It’s like a game of musical chairs that we have to keep adding people and chairs to in order for it to never stop. This is because cumulative debts are far larger than the total currency supply, meaning there are more claims for currency than there is currency. As such, too many of those claims can never be allowed to be called in at once; the party must always go on. When debt is too big relative to currency and starts to get called in, new currency is created, since it costs nothing other than some keystrokes to produce.

What Disco Elysium proves is you can take an RPG, abstract away all the bullshit about swords and dragons and killing hundreds of bandits (those nameless NPCs who in the game world don’t have families, sisters, mothers), and still have a workable game. That the standard trope of an RPG protagonist being a hobo murderer who just loots corpses to sell their stuff to buy weapons to kill more people to loot more corpses, is not a cosmic inevitability for games.

When we hear cardio, we probably think of things like running, cycling, swimming or those “cardio machines” in the gym. While this would not be incorrect, cardio is technically an umbrella term for any exercise that increases your heart rate. By this definition, you can see that many more activities can have elements of cardio training in them.Your heart is a working muscle, and working it makes it stronger. A stronger cardiovascular system means more capillaries can deliver more oxygen to all the cells in your muscles. If you find the concept of going for a run or bike ride either daunting or uninspiring, maybe an activity like dance or playing a sport or game is more appealing. Most gym classes are a form of cardio.

Let's sit with that for a moment- if that were the case, wouldn't countries with the highest rates of video game play (China, S. Korea, Japan) have the highest rates of “behavioral problems”?

Verbs that can act on many objects. This is possibly the single most powerful thing you can do to make an interesting game. If you give a player a gun that can only shoot bad guys, you have a very simple game. But if that same gun can be used to shoot a lock off a door, break a window, hunt for food, pop a car tire, or write a message on the wall, now you start to enter a world of many possibilities.

In this game the GM and the players tell a story, and afterwards look at the rules to see if something needs to be resolved using the game's mechanics. You don't look at the rules first, you look at the fiction first.

Innovation is opening up educational policies and practices.

I’m more optimistic about Strava for Learning. While the activity of learning itself might be hard to quantify, you can measure the outcome of learning: knowledge. Has anyone built a multiplayer version of Anki yet? Flash cards would be a perfect proof-of-knowledge mechanism and could easily be turned into a game where you compete against friends. Similar to physical activity in the Strava example, learning is not something that most people enjoy doing. As TikTok founder Alex Zhu points out, education goes a little against human nature. In combination with a strong enough signaling mechanism however, you can get users to participate. It’s kind of the opposite of Chris Dixon’s famous “Come for the tool, stay for the network” strategy. Come for the status, stay for the tool.

What’s great about Strava is that it reinforces a behavior that’s actually good for you: While the status game that initially got you into the app might be zero sum, the actual physical exercise you have to put in to compete has a very positive, compounding effect.

The cost to participate in TikTok’s status game is a lot higher than Instagram’s (compare a well-made dance choreography on TikTok to your median Instagram travel post) – but its powerful feed algorithms also make discovery easier and thus reward users faster and with more social capital.

The game requires a generic ArrayList class, but you’re not allowed to use Java’s built-in ArrayList, so you’ll have to supply your own. Your ArrayList needs to be generic and implemented with a linked list.  (If you see Java’s ArrayList being imported, you need to comment out that import statement.)

A desire path (often referred to as a desire line in transportation planning, and also known as a game trail, social trail, fishermen trail, herd path, cow path, elephant path, goat track, pig trail, use trail, and bootleg trail) is a path created as a consequence of erosion caused by human or animal traffic. The path usually represents the shortest or most easily navigated route between an origin and destination. The width and severity of erosion are often indicators of the traffic level that a path receives. Desire paths emerge as shortcuts where constructed paths take a circuitous route, have gaps, or are non-existent.

A guiding principle will be to make the hyper-response as not only fun and enjoyable as possible but also meaningful via a vibrant grand narrative approach that connects the mission to conceptions of identity, values, and evolving worldviews.

Just like the spectators in Boal’s InvisibleTheatre see the shown without seeing it, by engaging withthe artefact of a CD, players already play the game, withoutplaying it.

From a user perspective, people are starting to talk more and more about the soul-withering effects of playing an always-on status game through the social apps on their always connected phones. You could easily replace Status as a Service with FOMO as a Service. It’s one reason you can still meet so many outrageously wealthy people in Manhattan or Silicon Valley who are still miserable.

graph-based social capital allocation mechanisms can suffer from runaway winner-take-all effects. In essence, some networks reward those who gain a lot of followers early on with so much added exposure that they continue to gain more followers than other users, regardless of whether they've earned it through the quality of their posts. One hypothesis on why social networks tend to lose heat at scale is that this type of old money can't be cleared out, and new money loses the incentive to play the game.

It's true that as more people join a network, more social capital is up for grabs in the aggregate. However, in general, if you come to a social network later, unless you bring incredible exogenous social capital (Taylor Swift can join any social network on the planet and collect a massive following immediately), the competition for attention is going to be more intense than it was in the beginning. Everyone has more of an understanding of how the game works so the competition is stiffer.

The creation of a successful status game is so mysterious that it often smacks of alchemy. For that reason, entrepreneurs who succeed in this space are thought of us a sort of shaman, perhaps because most investors are middle-aged white men who are already so high status they haven't the first idea why people would seek virtual status (more on that later).

What emerged was a picture that was simultaneously murky and clarifying, in that there’s not one good answer. Some of what it does is promising; a lot of what it does — even boosters admit — is trash, and trash that’s costing some people a lot of money. This probably isn’t the death knell for crypto — it’s gone through plenty of boom and bust cycles in the past. It would be unwise to definitively say that crypto has no chance of being a game changer; it would also be disingenuous to claim it is now.

set of 10 vocabulary items and another of 20, with the game itself calculating the scoresand the time used (Figure 1). As for the control group, they were given two lists (Figure2) containing the words that needed to be learned for each test (10 and 20 respectively).They also recorded the time used in the vocabulary-learning and problem-solvingphases themselves.

One of the methods used, the loci method, was described as far back as 55 BC byCicero [13]. “Loci” in Latin is the plural of “locus”, which means place or location.This concept is also known by other names, such as the Roman Room or the MemoryPalace. They all refer to a mnemonic strategy in which a familiar environment activatesa mechanism of association [14] that facilitates memorisation. The number of vocabu-lary items and the amount of time allotted for retention in Roman Palace in the pilotstudy is based on the results of a study published by Larchen Costuchen, Darling andUytman [15] which showed that retention of 10 new vocabulary items in 15 minuteswas significantly better with the experimental method (flashcards linked to 3D modelsand viewed in a familiar environment on mobile devices) than with the conventionalmethod consisting of flashcards with images presented through the application Quizletfor Windows, Android and iOS. The serious game Roman Palace aims to serve fordifferent age groups as well as a variety of Indo-European languages. The pilot studyfocused on the 18-to-60 age group. The language used was not a real one but rather agroup of pseudowords generated by an external tool. The effectiveness of vocabularyretention was measured in-game by testing the participants’ translation and spelling ofthe words. The game also stored the time used to complete each level, the failed wordsin each test, and the scores obtained. Even though mnemonic strategies have been inuse since Cicero’s age [13] and are often mentioned in the academic literature [13],[16]–[24], they are not widely used in immersive environments for specific uses (suchas L2 vocabulary acquisition), and scientific publications in this field are rare.

Nazry [9], the educational element of serious games is thoroughly integrated into theirdesign, thereby offering players both learning content and an entertaining structure.The Roman Palace prototype presented in this study is an example of a serious gamedeveloped to enhance the retention of foreign-language (L2) vocabulary. Retention isobtained through the use of virtual flashcards and the implementation of spatialmemory. In linguistics, a flashcard is typically a card that has a word on one side andits translation on the other, thus establishing the connection [10], [11]. The main func-tion of the game Roman Palace is to do this by establishing spatial connections betweenthe words on the cards and the objects in the Roman villa (through association, organ-isation, and the loci method). The players are told to imagine what every new wordreminds them of, as well as to remember where in the game it appears (for example, theroom or a nearby object). All these elements create extra memory support. From thepoint of view of psychology, mnemonic techniques use combinations, relations, andassociations of ideas while at the same time exploring our capabilities [12].

Furthermore, in order to make the MetaRPG system work, it is necessary to have currency for game stores. Therefore, the native token ApeCoin was launched. In order to create a complete world composition, various fields need to be involved in the metaverse. For this reason, many high quality IP projects were acquired so that Otherside can be used as a practical application in the metaverse scene for Yuga Labs to explore in areas such as GameFi and DAO communities, thus forming a closed loop.

It’s true that most crypto activity today takes place on blockchains that require large amounts of energy to store and verify transactions. These networks use a “proof-of-work” consensus mechanism — a process that has been compared to a global guessing game, played by computers all competing to solve cryptographic puzzles in order to add new information to the database and earn a reward in return. Solving these puzzles requires powerful computers, which in turn use lots of energy. The Bitcoin blockchain, for example, uses an estimated 200 terawatt-hours of energy per year, according to Digiconomist, a website that tracks crypto energy usage. That’s comparable to the annual energy consumption of Thailand. And Bitcoin’s associated carbon emissions have been estimated at roughly 100 megatons per year, which is comparable to the carbon footprint of the Czech Republic.

The report said “the U.S. decision to withdraw military forces and contractors from Afghanistan,” despite the inability of Afghan forces to support themselves, was the most significant factor in the country’s collapse.“When the contractors pulled out, it was like we pulled all the sticks out of the Jenga pile and expected it to stay up,” former senior U.S. commander David Barno told researchers. “We built that army to run on contractor support. Without it, it can’t function. Game over.”

• About 99% of the time, the right time is right now. • No one is as impressed with your possessions as you are. • Dont ever work for someone you dont want to become. • Cultivate 12 people who love you, because they are worth more than 12 million people who like you. • Dont keep making the same mistakes; try to make new mistakes. • If you stop to listen to a musician or street performer for more than a minute, you owe them a dollar. • Anything you say before the word “but” does not count. • When you forgive others, they may not notice, but you will heal. Forgiveness is not something we do for others; it is a gift to ourselves. • Courtesy costs nothing. Lower the toilet seat after use. Let the people in the elevator exit before you enter. Return shopping carts to their designated areas. When you borrow something, return it better shape (filled up, cleaned) than when you got it. • Whenever there is an argument between two sides, find the third side. • Efficiency is highly overrated; Goofing off is highly underrated. Regularly scheduled sabbaths, sabbaticals, vacations, breaks, aimless walks and time off are essential for top performance of any kind. The best work ethic requires a good rest ethic. • When you lead, your real job is to create more leaders, not more followers. • Criticize in private, praise in public. • Life lessons will be presented to you in the order they are needed. Everything you need to master the lesson is within you. Once you have truly learned a lesson, you will be presented with the next one. If you are alive, that means you still have lessons to learn. • It is the duty of a student to get everything out of a teacher, and the duty of a teacher to get everything out of a student. • If winning becomes too important in a game, change the rules to make it more fun. Changing rules can become the new game. • Ask funders for money, and they’ll give you advice; but ask for advice and they’ll give you money. • Productivity is often a distraction. Don’t aim for better ways to get through your tasks as quickly as possible, rather aim for better tasks that you never want to stop doing. • Immediately pay what you owe to vendors, workers, contractors. They will go out of their way to work with you first next time. • The biggest lie we tell ourselves is “I dont need to write this down because I will remember it.” • Your growth as a conscious being is measured by the number of uncomfortable conversations you are willing to have. • Speak confidently as if you are right, but listen carefully as if you are wrong. • Handy measure: the distance between your fingertips of your outstretched arms at shoulder level is your height. • The consistency of your endeavors (exercise, companionship, work) is more important than the quantity. Nothing beats small things done every day, which is way more important than what you do occasionally. • Making art is not selfish; it’s for the rest of us. If you don’t do your thing, you are cheating us. • Never ask a woman if she is pregnant. Let her tell you if she is. • Three things you need: The ability to not give up something till it works, the ability to give up something that does not work, and the trust in other people to help you distinguish between the two. • When public speaking, pause frequently. Pause before you say something in a new way, pause after you have said something you believe is important, and pause as a relief to let listeners absorb details. • There is no such thing as being “on time.” You are either late or you are early. Your choice. • Ask anyone you admire: Their lucky breaks happened on a detour from their main goal. So embrace detours. Life is not a straight line for anyone. • The best way to get a correct answer on the internet is to post an obviously wrong answer and wait for someone to correct you. • You’ll get 10x better results by elevating good behavior rather than punishing bad behavior, especially in children and animals. • Spend as much time crafting the subject line of an email as the message itself because the subject line is often the only thing people read. • Don’t wait for the storm to pass; dance in the rain. • When checking references for a job applicant, employers may be reluctant or prohibited from saying anything negative, so leave or send a message that says, “Get back to me if you highly recommend this applicant as super great.” If they don’t reply take that as a negative. • Use a password manager: Safer, easier, better. • Half the skill of being educated is learning what you can ignore. • The advantage of a ridiculously ambitious goal is that it sets the bar very high so even in failure it may be a success measured by the ordinary. • A great way to understand yourself is to seriously reflect on everything you find irritating in others. • Keep all your things visible in a hotel room, not in drawers, and all gathered into one spot. That way you’ll never leave anything behind. If you need to have something like a charger off to the side, place a couple of other large items next to it, because you are less likely to leave 3 items behind than just one. • Denying or deflecting a compliment is rude. Accept it with thanks, even if you believe it is not deserved. • Always read the plaque next to the monument. • When you have some success, the feeling of being an imposter can be real. Who am I fooling? But when you create things that only you — with your unique talents and experience — can do, then you are absolutely not an imposter. You are the ordained. It is your duty to work on things that only you can do. • What you do on your bad days matters more than what you do on your good days. • Make stuff that is good for people to have. • When you open paint, even a tiny bit, it will always find its way to your clothes no matter how careful you are. Dress accordingly. • To keep young kids behaving on a car road trip, have a bag of their favorite candy and throw a piece out the window each time they misbehave. • You cannot get smart people to work extremely hard just for money. • When you don’t know how much to pay someone for a particular task, ask them “what would be fair” and their answer usually is. • 90% of everything is crap. If you think you don’t like opera, romance novels, TikTok, country music, vegan food, NFTs, keep trying to see if you can find the 10% that is not crap. • You will be judged on how well you treat those who can do nothing for you. • We tend to overestimate what we can do in a day, and underestimate what we can achieve in a decade. Miraculous things can be accomplished if you give it ten years. A long game will compound small gains to overcome even big mistakes. • Thank a teacher who changed your life. • You cant reason someone out of a notion that they didn’t reason themselves into. • Your best job will be one that you were unqualified for because it stretches you. In fact only apply to jobs you are unqualified for. • Buy used books. They have the same words as the new ones. Also libraries. • You can be whatever you want, so be the person who ends meetings early. • A wise man said, “Before you speak, let your words pass through three gates. At the first gate, ask yourself, “Is it true?” At the second gate ask, “Is it necessary?” At the third gate ask, “Is it kind?” • Take the stairs. • What you actually pay for something is at least twice the listed price because of the energy, time, money needed to set it up, learn, maintain, repair, and dispose of at the end. Not all prices appear on labels. Actual costs are 2x listed prices. • When you arrive at your room in a hotel, locate the emergency exits. It only takes a minute. • The only productive way to answer “what should I do now?” is to first tackle the question of “who should I become?” • Average returns sustained over an above-average period of time yield extraordinary results. Buy and hold. • It’s thrilling to be extremely polite to rude strangers. • It’s possible that a not-so smart person, who can communicate well, can do much better than a super smart person who can’t communicate well. That is good news because it is much easier to improve your communication skills than your intelligence. • Getting cheated occasionally is the small price for trusting the best of everyone, because when you trust the best in others, they generally treat you best. • Art is whatever you can get away with. • For the best results with your children, spend only half the money you think you should, but double the time with them. • Purchase the most recent tourist guidebook to your home town or region. You’ll learn a lot by playing the tourist once a year. • Dont wait in line to eat something famous. It is rarely worth the wait. • To rapidly reveal the true character of a person you just met, move them onto an abysmally slow internet connection. Observe. • Prescription for popular success: do something strange. Make a habit of your weird. • Be a pro. Back up your back up. Have at least one physical backup and one backup in the cloud. Have more than one of each. How much would you pay to retrieve all your data, photos, notes, if you lost them? Backups are cheap compared to regrets. • Dont believe everything you think you believe. • To signal an emergency, use the rule of three; 3 shouts, 3 horn blasts, or 3 whistles. • At a restaurant do you order what you know is great, or do you try something new? Do you make what you know will sell or try something new? Do you keep dating new folks or try to commit to someone you already met? The optimal balance for exploring new things vs exploiting them once found is: 1/3. Spend 1/3 of your time on exploring and 2/3 time on deepening. It is harder to devote time to exploring as you age because it seems unproductive, but aim for 1/3. • Actual great opportunities do not have “Great Opportunities” in the subject line. • When introduced to someone make eye contact and count to 4. You’ll both remember each other. • Take note if you find yourself wondering “Where is my good knife? Or, where is my good pen?” That means you have bad ones. Get rid of those. • When you are stuck, explain your problem to others. Often simply laying out a problem will present a solution. Make “explaining the problem” part of your troubleshooting process. • When buying a garden hose, an extension cord, or a ladder, get one substantially longer than you think you need. It’ll be the right size. • Dont bother fighting the old; just build the new. • Your group can achieve great things way beyond your means simply by showing people that they are appreciated. • When someone tells you about the peak year of human history, the period of time when things were good before things went downhill, it will always be the years of when they were 10 years old — which is the peak of any human’s existence. • You are as big as the things that make you angry. • When speaking to an audience it’s better to fix your gaze on a few people than to “spray” your gaze across the room. Your eyes telegraph to others whether you really believe what you are saying. • Habit is far more dependable than inspiration. Make progress by making habits. Dont focus on getting into shape. Focus on becoming the kind of person who never misses a workout. • When negotiating, dont aim for a bigger piece of the pie; aim to create a bigger pie. • If you repeated what you did today 365 more times will you be where you want to be next year? • You see only 2% of another person, and they see only 2% of you. Attune yourselves to the hidden 98%. • Your time and space are limited. Remove, give away, throw out things in your life that dont spark joy any longer in order to make room for those that do. • Our descendants will achieve things that will amaze us, yet a portion of what they will create could have been made with today’s materials and tools if we had had the imagination. Think bigger. • For a great payoff be especially curious about the things you are not interested in. • Focus on directions rather than destinations. Who knows their destiny? But maintain the right direction and you’ll arrive at where you want to go. • Every breakthrough is at first laughable and ridiculous. In fact if it did not start out laughable and ridiculous, it is not a breakthrough. • If you loan someone $20 and you never see them again because they are avoiding paying you back, that makes it worth $20. • Copying others is a good way to start. Copying yourself is a disappointing way to end. • The best time to negotiate your salary for a new job is the moment AFTER they say they want you, and not before. Then it becomes a game of chicken for each side to name an amount first, but it is to your advantage to get them to give a number before you do. • Rather than steering your life to avoid surprises, aim directly for them. • Dont purchase extra insurance if you are renting a car with a credit card. • If your opinions on one subject can be predicted from your opinions on another, you may be in the grip of an ideology. When you truly think for yourself your conclusions will not be predictable. • Aim to die broke. Give to your beneficiaries before you die; it’s more fun and useful. Spend it all. Your last check should go to the funeral home and it should bounce. • The chief prevention against getting old is to remain astonished.

What mistaken estimates of other races may result from over-estimation of one’s own race, will be most vividly shown by a case in which we are ourselves valued at a very low rate by a race we hold to be far inferior.

A writeup in Wired, published in 1997, described C.G.D.C. as a “supergeekathon”—a chance “to claim your place among elite programmers, designers, and product managers.”

We are interested in working together toward a solution that works for all involved.

This brings us to the importance of words, the mindset of people, and their impact on health. We know, for example, that optimism is associated with exceptional longevity. On a personal level, I fixed my chronic back pain with a simple book and a change of perception.

Three works helped Wright understand how he could turn these life experiences into a game. One was the book “A Pattern Language,” by Christopher Alexander and his colleagues at the Center for Environmental Structure, in Berkeley. The book identifies two hundred and fifty-three timeless ways of building, which are classified as patterns—“Stair Seats,” “Children’s Realm,” etc.—and it shows how these patterns can create satisfying living spaces. The idea is that the value of architecture can be measured by the happiness of the people who live in it. The second was the psychologist Abraham Maslow’s 1943 paper “A Theory of Human Motivation,” in which Maslow described a pyramid-shaped hierarchy of human needs, with “Physiological” at the bottom, and above it “Safety,” “Love,” “Esteem,” and, at the top, “Self-actualization.” The third inspiration was Charles Hampden-Turner’s “Maps of the Mind,” which compares more than fifty theories about how the mind works. Putting these works together, Wright formulated a model with which to “score” the happiness of the people in his doll house by their status, popularity, and success, and by the quality of the environment the player designs for them—the more comfortable the house, the happier the people. Wright told me, “I don’t believe any one theory of human psychology is correct. The Sims just ended up being a mishmash of stuff that worked in the game.”

It’s worth pausing to consider wherein the purported rationality lies. It is the logic of competition. Within the sporting world, of course, the point is to win, and to do so in a way that can be clearly determined quantitatively. There are no grounds for anyone to ask a manager or a player to pursue a strategy that will diminish their competitive edge. Most of life, however, is not a game with quantifiable outcomes, and probably shouldn’t be treated as such. However, the triumph of technique in Ellul’s sense encourages the competitive mode of experience. Indeed, quantification itself invites it. This dynamic can be put to beneficial use, and, in clearly delineated circumstances, is perfectly appropriate. But applied uncritically and indiscriminately or even nefariously (see e.g. social media metrics) it can introduce destructive tendencies and eclipse qualitative or otherwise unquantifiable values. Generally speaking, quantification and the logic of optimization which it encourages tend to transform our field of experience into points of aggression, as the sociologist Hartmut Rosa has aptly put it. Data-driven optimization is, in this sense, a way of perceiving the world. And what may matter most about this is not necessarily what it allows us to see, but it keeps us from perceiving: in short, all that cannot be quantified or measured.

Linux (and Wine) may prove to be an alternative here.

Anne Lamott calls “shitty first drafts” and all the ones that follow, the revision of a tenth and a thirteenth and a twenty-third draft. I show a YouTube video by Tim Weninger, a computer scientist and engineer at the University of Notre Dame. In the video, Weninger stitches together his revisions of a research paper. In my class, we play a game, guessing how many revisions Weninger did. The answer—463!

The practices leading up to the bowl game were the highlight of my season. I watched the most film I had ever watched in my life. I knew exactly what play East Carolina was running based upon the formation they were lined up in. I broke up many passes in practice. One of my breakups was right in front of Coach Hafley and I remember him looking at me with a proud face. That was all I needed. I placed confidence in myself and got my groove back.

When it comes to parenting, the data tells us, moms and dads should put more thought into the neighbors they surround their children with—and lighten up about everything else.

The game has no respect for your time. Saves? Nope, doesn't have them. You have to play each level through to completion in order to move onto the next one. If it had even a save and exit feature it would change my opinion dramatically.

Next, the game -does- have saves, but the devs couldn't figure out how to serialize data mid-mission and read/write a save file. "It was technically impossible due to our decision not to do it." Again, playing your game is actually not the most important thing in my life, and I don't want to spend an hour doing most of a mission only to be called away by real life and then have to start over. I get that you're apparently licensing a black-box physics engine which doesn't give you insight into its immediate state - that shouldn't matter. If you have access to the variables in memory, which you have to do for the game to run, you can serialize those variables.

I could love this game so easily. First off I enjoy God Games in general; Populous used to be my first exposure and remained my favourite for a long time. Secondly, the art is funky, and the creatures all make appropriate noises. Seriously, that really adds to the amount of fun I have with a game. It's also a Goldilocks game for me -- not too simple, but also not overwhelmingly complicated, so it's just right for those times when my brain isn't necessarily at its best, but I am not ready to go to bed yet, and I want something more interesting than point-and-click, yet Civilization is way too demanding.The game has a lot of options, which I also enjoy -- you can play in story mode, where you can choose from 5 different missions, starting quite easily and ending with a real challenge. Or you can play in survival mode, with 3 different difficulty options plus complete customization. It is possible to play the game 100% peacefully, no pests, no enemies, no disasters at all, which is also something I prize when I want to relax. And you can make it unbearably hard on yourself, so there's definitely a lot of replay value here.

So why am I not recommending it? I want to! The developers generally did a pretty good job, and I like to reward that, especially with so many games on Steam that are abandonware.For one, it's aggravating that the AI is not smart enough. Mims don't seek rejuvenation in their house when they most need it, especially guardians who have nothing to do but guard the place. And yet, they don't recoup their energy easily enough, which means I have to micromanage constantly. Mims who get hurt badly don't march straight for home either, and can easily die on you ("too stupid to live" comes true). I ended up choosing a custom game with only the meekest pest at a low rate of invasion simply so I could figure out where the AI fell flat on its face, and alas there are many places. And while I can micromanage rejuvenation and attacks on pests/enemies, I cannot make my Mims cut down vegetation; I have to burn it, and the burn rate is not high enough at the start to deal with the regrowth rate. That alone wouldn't cause me to recommend against a game; I'd put up with that, because it is of course its own challenge to figure out a way to win within a game's constraints. I find methodical analysis and trial building fun in its own way.

But here's the deal breaker:You cannot save in this game. And it doesn't even warn you that it doesn't auto save; when you leave, that is it, your game is gone and you have to start over. You can't set up two different scenarios, compare them, and tweak each. If you want to spend some time carefully fine tuning your game's economy, you have to basically remain logged into it for days. Which totally distorts your hours spent, aside from taking up memory from other games you might want to play or from actual work. And if your computer crashes, it's all for naught anyway. If you build a masterpiece of Mims civilization, better screen print it and then kiss it goodbye, because there is no return to old glories.So I am sorry, but I cannot recommend it. If this doesn't bother you, by all means, I think it's well worth buying even at full price, because you can get many hours of gameplay out of it if you just don't leave the game. But for me, this is a death knell for a game; I lose all interest if I can't save my work to get back to it later.

Either way things turn out to be not what you thought they were.

Web culture has made it clear that if it is easy and inexpensiveenough to contribute to cooperative enterprises, many people will chooseto do so for a variety of reasons, including reputation, altruism, curios-ity, learning, a sense of reciprocating value to a community that providesvalue, as part of a game, and contributing something for public use thatyou had to do for your own purposes anyway (open-source developers dubthis “scratching an itch”).

Under this movement toward the “creative,” art school merged with business school, as sociologist Angela McRobbie points out. Marketing and entrepreneurship are now standard parts of an arts education, with artists are encouraged to develop their personal brand.

Another alternative, this time in contrast to the corporation, can be found in The Rochdale Principles, a set of ideals for the operation of cooperatives created in 19th century England. These principles are still actively used today by cooperatives around the world. In summary, they say: Build voluntary, open membership. Create participatory processes for decisions. Ensure everyone has skin in the game. Allow for member autonomy in all arrangements. Educate and inform to ensure member equality. Build networks with other cooperatives. Produce positive externalities for the community.
