Which is very sensible, but then the principle would be "[Our leaders] Do not assume they are always right".

"[Leaders] Are Right, A Lot" How is this even a principle ? Just "be right", a lot ?

"There are loads of stories like that." But I believe that's the whole point that the comic is trying to make. Successful stories are those that are shared and those that we choose to have as validation that if we do the same

I imagine the focus on the Atari is because of the much simpler mechanics and input data, compared to more modern games, correct ? How hard it would be to make the transition to more complex games, like Zelda or Mario for the NES ?

I don't really get why the submission title was changed from the initial "Everywhere Indian engineers are unwanted," to the current one, since the former is the literal title in the linked article and its actual focus ? I&#x2

Thanks! I used to follow it a few years ago, but for some reason it fell off my radar, I imagine now there are tons more reviews than when I left it. It inspired me to do a nostalgia-fueled replay of all Ultima games(1-8), a couple of years

Nice list. I didn't know Justin TV was funded by YC, it should be classified as exited (as Twitch) or dead, I think.

Well, that's the challenge, right ? Not making an AI that has perfect response, but a "human-like" one.

"The doomsday rhetoric is completely out of hand." "The EU is going to fragment and crumble over the next ten years." No comment.

I wonder (I'm not from UK), is there really zero chance of someone from Labour to challenge Corbyn (someone more moderate/center leaning) and rally the pro-EU voters ?

Maybe they made it so it can run on ChromeOS also ? It's not so different than downloading a Windows application that requires JVM or some .NET distributable, or a Linux package with additional dependencies, IMHO.

So, any resource suggestions (not necessarily books) for someone interested in a more practical approach ? Edit: Thanks!

That's kind of unfair, the iPhone 4S was released on September 2011, so it was supported 5 years since release. It went through 5 (!) major releases of iOS, from 5.0 to 9.3.5. If you buy a phone that you know is already going to be obs

I remember that in Chrono Trigger there is a part in the future where you need to input a specific button sequence, and in one of the early version of ZNES it wasn't working, it was maddening at the time :).

"European city center". But I know, it's a broad definition.

I don't think in the article is suggesting that we should "fighting or controlling" it, but, taking it for granted that is going to happen, find a way to address its consequences.

When I set a short timer the answer sometimes is something like: "Make sure you don't overcook that egg" or "The suspense is killing me".

It probably varies (country by country inside Europe, and even company by company), but being asked about marital, family status, hobbies and picture seems unusual to me. Gapless CV, degree transcript and references are more common.

I'm talking about Europe (where college is in general more affordable and there is no stigma associated to getting your degree from a public school), but if you are looking for employment as a professional at an established company, wi

Like the recent Obamacare repeal debacle has shown, a lot of people believe they have a simple solution to complex issues, until they actually try to implement it.

You have this information while using Uber, in real-time, on your phone. Since you are charged based on distance and see the price before calling the ride, it's arguably better than a "fare meter".

by Kurtz79 10y ago
I have no sympathy for Uber as a company, but (without having additional information beyond what it is provided in the article), it seems to me that a new law mas made ad-hoc to address Uber's rise specifically, not that they were alre

"Or, in my case, a YouTube player comfortable enough to use in bed." In my case Youtube, Netflix, Twitch, as well as web browsing. And also "everywhere I move about in the house", not only in bed. I have zero use for it

What better advertising than having a narrative where your product is "sold out" and in high demand, with media running stories about it ? Especially when the "scarcity" problem can be addressed easily.

It's funny how the truth is probably the opposite, for the average investor. One should make a buy/sell decision based on a medium/long term evaluation of the company prospects and try to ignore as much as possible the daily
