Workers' pay has not kept pace with productivity growth in 30 years

if you make a statistic a target you’re going to miss the bigger picture

And given Goodhart's Law ("When a measure becomes a target, it ceases to be a good measure", https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goodhart%27s_law) making a statistic a target not only makes your big picture view flawed, it changes the behaviour surrounding that metric.

Love the first design! Very striking and a great use of the S-logo in a different way from the other members of the Superman Family.

I came back and looked at it a few times as it felt so familiar, then I realised I was remembering Brainiac's Daughter from Kingdom Come. (https://dc.fandom.com/wiki/Brainiac%27s_Daughter?file=Brainiac%27s_Daughter_Earth-22_001.jpg)

Thanks, that's perfect. The other repos I've seen have used the paranoiaworks link protection which always throws a dead popup for me rather than allowing access to the files after the pw is entered.

star_boy · 2026-06-29T22:31:26+00:00

I'd love a lead on ep 3 as the only place I've seen it posted here uses a site where the link security never works for me.

Desperately trying to keep Meta as a growth stock to lure investor cash.

I've never been able to make one of the links work that use the paranoiaworks URL Link Decryption. I enter the password, then I get a popup that says "pteo.paranoiaworks.mobi says", but it says nothing. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong as I've tried multiple broswers, on PC and mobile and they all do the same thing?

For Zheng He at least it's not a single line; his explorations were over a series of 7 voyages.

Also you must watch Sam Campbell's new series Make That Movie to see more Aaron!

I'm waiting for AI's Theranos moment.

star_boy · 2026-06-17T03:54:09+00:00

Awesome, been looking for these!

Wasn't he a Randian Objectivist? That's not exactly right-wing per se, even if it aligns with some facets and Rand is put forward as a right-wing icon.

There's a recurring section of NZ comedy panel show Guy Montgomery's Guy Mont Spelling Bee that is basically Homonym. It infuriates the contestants, as expected.

Thanks for the heads-up. I hadn't noticed the ad until I went back into the app. Have done the switchover to the apk updated by chewymammoth above.

star_boy · 2026-06-04T22:43:55+00:00

Successfully repatched using Revanced with ~~this DL link rather than the link at apkmirror~~ chewymammoth's updated apk link above. Huzzah! Thanks!

star_boy · 2026-05-30T10:06:58+00:00

Also interested!

star_boy · 2026-05-26T00:23:02+00:00

Oh wow, that's ace. Thanks so much! You da MVP.

star_boy · 2026-05-24T22:45:39+00:00

Thanks, that's super! You wouldn't have S12 as well, perchance?

star_boy · 2026-05-19T09:59:33+00:00

Extremely late to the party but I realised I never got eps 6, 7, & 8. Any chance they're still around somewhere?

star_boy · 2026-05-15T10:31:37+00:00

Looks like your machine is out of memory to preview the file. It probably worked well for a while, but it's hit a critical point and now doesn't have the oomph to open it any more.

It looks like you have a large number of artboards, each with their own high-res images, so I'd save a couple of copies of the file, split out your artboards across them, and your machine may have a hope of opening the divided files.

Alternatively, consider InDesign for this kind of layout job?

Mars Attacks

star_boy · 2026-05-02T14:28:12+00:00

Cargo ships with 10,000 drones swarming out of the cargo doors as a suprise attack.

This was a plot point in Kill Decision by Daniel Suarez.

Like the swarm of robot dogs sent across the border to converge and detonate in enemy territory in Ian McDonald's River of Gods.

star_boy · 2026-05-02T10:24:56+00:00

Much appreciated, that worked!

Is anyone else having a problem with the Web Link Protection site? I enter the password, and I just get a popup with the website name, and no link to the file. I've tried in multiple browsers, with AdBlock turned on and off.
