The same is true for computer viruses! Being a huge menace to your computer host is a good way to get yourself deleted. The best computer viruses are careful and spread silently.

Android is based on Linux, Google doesn't get to make that sort of ownership claim.

I don't understand the framing of this conversation. Does other companies owe Google money by merely existing?

That seems like some twisted logic. "I was just dumping data in logs, I don't have to care about privacy concerns. Oh, and now I have all this data on my server, since it's already here I surely deserve to process it without

Wait, hold on, do you really need to do any of that if you are keeping zero data on people? I assume that kinda organization is only relevant if you are keeping data.

I imagine that this just happens an easy way to get a "scaffold" to build the lung on for the moment being.

I think being a programmer is cheating when it comes to this game.

Actually, programming homebrew for the NES and SNES, I was surprised by how similar my experience was to learning OpenGL. You can't plot individual pixels on hardware like that, you have to fill CHR memory (like textures) and create ar

Are you saying that it's impossible to discuss and reflect upon a falsehood?

Maybe not with the wording I used, but I'd say it's actually THE most common argument around. The whole "machines can't love" line. Most people who argue for free will do so on the basis that it appears that we are

One other big difference is that it's not owned by a single private company. Adobe tried to monetize certain flash 3d features at some point, but was rebuked so they withdrew their plans.

The issue is that a lot of people look at humans and say "This kind of behavior requires and proves free will", which would mean that exhibiting human-like behavior without free will ought to be impossible.

Do they regularly sell for $40,000 or is that just the top price that's posted?

Can't you just buy a competitor's car and test it yourself and report them if you find cheating?

That will stop people from just copy-pasting one statement over and over again. But, it will still create a meta game of trying to write machine learning likable texts as opposed to good texts.

Taking a leap of faith option is probably the most common and orthodox solution. While religious themes comes to mind, it's not really limited to religion, tons of people find non-religious causes and beliefs to hold onto, like humanis

It's so much easier to imagine that there is a grand, fantastic, and amazing conspiracy, and that ultimately when the curtain is pulled down it will all make sense and the truth will be clear. No more confusion, no more enfeebled helpl

As far as I know, the carbon in plastic mostly comes from crude oil, which is already "stored away" deep in the earth. If you found a 100% effective and safe way to store all plastic after it's use you'd simply be carbon

Well, it's the average. I assume the savings are a lot higher for heavy web apps with more JS

It might also be that whatever social change that causes these places to phase out lead also results in lower crime over time?

Only ones I can think of is Dark Souls and Resident Evil 6, as other players can invade your single-player game to try to kill you.

Not all video games are like that, what does it matter if the "typical" video game is like that?

Why shouldn't all your traffic, location data, and thoughts be archived for future use? Maybe in 30 years we figure out you are one of the undesirables of society, and we'll have an easy time getting rid of you and your kind. It&#

PUBLIC RELATIONS PERSON: You don't understand, they aren't actively looking at the data so it's not spying. It's just being archived at our central servers for important future use, and any access is subject to warrants

Tools like that can be extremely productive, and easy for people of no or low programming ability to utilize. But just like excel, it's a double edged sword, as people "specialize" in it and create monstrous abomination appli

I for one think it's about time we got all our keyboard and mouse replaced by touchscreens and track pads. Newer is better, and things need to be replaced regularly.

If anything he got off easy, think about all the patents he is probably violating. If you can get a patent for "Combination hamburger and hotdog bread bun" I don't see how anybody can be safe. You need a lawyer to walk across

And don't forget the macro preprocessor, it's made life a lot easier for me in so many ways. Syntax sugar, automatic asset inclusion, compiling tasks, and much more.

But does he provide x200 more value than you? Think of it this way, if there was two hundred of you all working together, would he still be adding more value than you?

Game Publisher: Oh no, We wouldn't dream of having gambling in our game! That's why we don't have single-use dungeon tickets (which is just gambling with one extra step between). You can do our dungeons as many times as you w
