This is because most of the cheating bans currently are not human reviewed, it's technical evidence. Closest to this issue I can remember is that some pro CS:GO player was banned by the Overwatch program a few years ago and a fuss was

Public relations for a startup like this would be hard to manage. I can already see the front page Reddit post with 4,000 upvotes on the game's subreddit asking why they lost $400 worth of items because one of the outsourced employees

Doing something like this would probably be illegal if you want to connect to Valorant servers or distribute it, would be easy for Riot to detect and ban users of, and if it worked well it would be a haven for cheaters to ruin Riot games fr

I think a Riot employee stated that cheaters would try to start cheats before the anticheat starts, so the anticheat running at all times is trying to prevent this. CS:GO has a lot more hackers than games with more intrusive anticheats like

The future of anti-cheat is machine learning specific to the game. CS:GO already does this, where it used the Overwatch community review program to train it, and it can now automatically ban some cheaters. I don't think it's a via

It's like a religious person asking you to prove God isn't real. The science favoring meditation in general is shoddy (such as [0]), when a metaanalysis shows no evidence of a key claimed benefit to something, you'd want to b

Discord has one of the worst light modes I've ever seen. Until recently, the sidebar taking up 20% of your screen on the left didn't even change colors, it remained in dark mode regardless of if you swapped. Also note that the rol

I hear this every time TurboTax gets brought up. I think it's a lot healthier to foster good relationships between users and tech so that they don't have to distrust instantaneous actions. As an aside, I'm also suspicious of

This is one of the worst articles I've read in a long time. The author is able to weasel their way out of holding them accountable to their opinions when they say that if porn can "thrive" with such extreme moderation, social

Mindfulness meditation is probably useless [0]. Other forms of meditation are obvious scams [1]. It's possible that there are some particular forms of meditation which are actually scientifically valid, but a huge portion of the field

This is gimmicky. Everyone knows they can be the best in the world at some random and obscure task nobody cares about. This sort of thing is a complete waste of your time. Better to focus on improving at one or the other.

The problem is coming up with challenges that are not trivial to automate and not annoyingly hard for users. Botters aren't just making passive income, they can fix their bot every day as long as it's making them money. Many sites

why would an email confirmation be enough? playing whack-a-mole all day with different domains is unreasonable. whitelist only of domains is awful, and botters have tons of popular email accounts.

They can care about the issue and still be greedy and care about money way more. The issue with letting governments "force" things like that is that they might just ban the game entirely and forever.
