France already does this. And Air France gives you an option to pay extra to subsidize further use of SAF. They will give you an estimate of carbon emissions of your trip, and offer various choices to pay for SAF to offset it. Funding SAF for the whole trip costs about 25% of your ticket pricr.

That does not feel right. It's like being an European and going to NYC and witness the omnipresent tip culture. Now the airlines expect a tip too?

Can highly recommend it, worth a read even if you don't follow all of it. He comes up with tools to measure your progress that will work with any diet you choose.

That's pretty much what many Japanese companies did for a few decades; they would encourage marriage between employees and provide housing so your entire life was devoted to them. Even your own wife (who stopped working) would push you to stay loyal to the company. Obviously that model fell apart once Japanese companies started to fire people...

Obviously this is for the distinguished gentleman or lady who would not wince at laying tracks to go wherever they want. Jiust make sure to have enoigh replacement parts...

To me Flash was the modern evolution of Hypercard, a multimedia system that Apple released on old Macs.

Yes, it was abused for ads and malware, and HTML5 video replaces a lot of the need for it.
But it had the niche of delivering self-contained programs (like a PDF) that could run across machines.
One could say it was like Java applets in that respect, but Java did not come with authoring tools that made it much easier to learn.

It's sad that there isn't anything quite like it for game development backed by a company by Adobe [*].
In the open source world, https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fhaxeflixel.com%2F seems to come close, but I have not yet tried it in depth.

[*] as far as I know, HTML5 does not provide a packaging tool that could replace the .swf files, which makes distribution more difficult / messy.

They need to get ready for all that Cyber stuff they've been promising over the last decades...

I've had this signature about an ENIAC programming competition for years :)

...that the thousands of dollars spent developing this will be defeated by a dude changing their time zone on their device...

From what I've seen the issue is not so much the headsets but the fact that graphic cards can't yet keep up with comfortable frame rates. If one needs to upgrade to an NVidia 2080 to get some halfway decent FPS, this one is going to be a hard sell unless they come in some kind of promotion.

this is Wine for classic Macs?

...weed cures farts?

Check out the MIST FPGA https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fgithub.com%2Fmist-devel%2F... and Zx-Uno http://zxuno.speccy.org/index_... projects.

Both have an open-source NES core supporting many games (forks of the same original project). They are more expensive than the NES mini, the ZxUno at 70 euros (without case nor VGA adapter), and the MiST at 200 euros with a case [but bigger FPGA = supports more systems such as Atari and Amiga]. There are a couple of gotchas though: neither connects to carts (they could in theory, but the focus was to make them generic so they use SD cards), and more importantly neither has HDMI. That isn't a huge problem but you could expect a slightly higher price to add the necessary parts.

TL;DR the solutions exist, price could be made comparable but probably they can't be bothered to find a hardware guru to do it.

Just take a few big strokes from other computer museums and make most displays as interactive as possible. Obviously talk about video games too. Throw in some robot programming workshops with mini robots doing stuff in an arena for a few minutes. Offer free apps for kids to take away some concepts and continue at home.

I wonder if it's worth hanging the VR set to the ceiling to hold part of the weight...
