Grand Theft Auto made about a billion last year alone. Madden Football (which comes out every year): $1.62 billion. There are a lot of games "bigger" than movies in not just revenue but total players/viewers. Engagement isn&

The same people were simultaneously saying to trust he science, telling lies because it is what we needed to hear, and ignoring the very laws they were passing. It is no wonder that people took a position opposite this. Personally, I was va

The real crime is perpetrated by those choosing Twitter to tell a long story broken into individual tweets.

Oh yea, it was the cholesterol bogeyman. It's interesting to see the snap back over the last 10-15 as fat has become more acceptable again as sugar is now the enemy. The one food that seems to be holding strong is yogurt where nonfat

As they have held wildly different positions over time, they have surely been wrong and indoctrinating children on those wrong policies for decades. It's somehow assumed that they're either getting it right this time (if you vote

I can't remember why butter was considered bad back in the 80's, but margarine was proudly proclaimed. I've been eating butter for so long that I was surprised recently to see they are very niche now and don't put the m

If their store is so awesome, why do they need to block any other method of loading?

The part that it gets right, though, is that way too many people are lying to themselves about how many calories they are actually consuming. It's not like the average overweight-obese person is sitting at 2000 calories a day and can&

Common usage of leak includes deliberate action by the owner of the information, not just misappropriation.

I mean it is released as part of a counterintelligence operation. While it is done professionally (for money), MICE refers to why someone would be lured to do the "wrong" thing.

Again, putting aside money to meet the obligations you will incur for having an employee today is funding . It is not prefunding by any stretch. I haven't seen any mention of setting aside money for people who don't work there y

By pre-funding, you mean funding. They are required to pay today for the liabilities they incur today (the promises of future healthcare). Today's liabilities (the promises) have a very real cost. Ignoring that cost elsewhere is it&#

I peaked at 1800 USCF. People above that level could press home an opening advantage that I wasn't prepared for. Below that I could win enough games on a sharp, open game, even if I were technically a bit behind a pawn or fraction fr

The "perverse incentive" is that people who might otherwise be hospitable to a reintroduced animal will likely lose control of their property if they do anything to help. They could put out feeders, cull predators or provide habi

This reminds me of my relatively new pet peeve when watching any military element in a movie. Every time they gather in a room, the soldiers arrange themselves at attention as scenery. I get that it's mostly symbolic of how organized

As soon as Congress started pressuring the media giants as to what they are and aren't allowing, accusations of censorship became fair play.

There were asserted as fact by professionals who are sophisticated enough to either know they aren't fact or to be held accountable for being wrong.

There are two possible "fake it until you make it" levels going on here. Say you draw a regular sample of blood and run tests with competitor's products until yours work. Tests are real, but everyone thinks your tests are d

Isn't the self-driving just a feature on top of the car? They're faking one feature that a customer might opt into -- and none that I know have. Tesla has delivered a performant EV that is nice to drive in and is comparable to

The damage is enticing someone to leave, not that you aren't employing them. I've never heard of this being decided in court in either direction. It's almost guaranteed to cost too much, though.

Well, it's nice that they eventually allow people to install software that they want on phones they own.

And yet, you're only allowed to install what they authorize. It's a nice cell.

The freewrite is hugely expensive, and the software janky. I have had it get stuck in a reboot cycle multiple times. Beware the 90 day warrantee which won't help if the update throws you into endless reboots after 90 days. The e-ink

A 10x marathoner can achieve a qualifying time for their marathon far 10x faster than the average person who might not ever be able to qualify. When you talk about a 10x programmer, you don't expect their program to run 10x as fast. Y

While I don't consider the 40k books on par with the better science fiction out there, I do enjoy that they bring a bit of scale and what it means to space. It's a different take from the rosy, post-scarcity, future of space. Ba

Anyone who doesn't see how this might happen to a newly promoted manager lacks imagination. It's the same thing that manager might have said the day before as a peer as a sort of grim humor, but is now suddenly off limits. Hell,
