I can see their point. If you already paid in advance, you aren’t really paying again when it subtracts the value from your account.

The ones who “just disappear” aren’t actually losing much. If they don’t have a platform in the first place then how much does getting cancelled actually matter? That’s why I’m talking about the popular ones. I don’t buy the idea that the s

In that scenario, the content creator’s free speech hasn’t been affected. They can publish their content on their own blog or anywhere else still.

It’s not censorship, nobody is saying he can’t go and do his podcast on his own site. Those artists just don’t want to be associated with him. They don’t want to be earning Spotify money that goes to Rogan. I respect their actions completel

Right, they just install some ads and then next thing you know they’re trying to optimize page views and mysteriously the articles get split into multiple pages and the site gets worse and worse over time. On top of that, the fact that they

They specifically stated that they tested it on 10 challenges that were newer than their training data, so it couldn’t just be plagiarizing content.

BLM has every right to “kick up dust” about police brutality. On the other hand, the police have a job they get paid way too much to do (just look at police budgets around the country!) so the least they could do is actually do it instead o

What kind of bizarre argument are you even trying to make? Just say what you want to say in plain English.

In the article they state they charged it at 1C, which is 1 hour from 0% to fully charged (200kw for a 200kwh battery). Who knows what the final numbers will be, but very promising if true.

Why is it hard to imagine that he didn’t do this for financial reasons at all? I doubt the increased media coverage will actually make him much money.

This is why hard mode is a less interesting way to play.

Those letters are probably the best if you’re limited to a single vowel, but there are vowels that are more common than some of those letters. As I posted in another comment, I saw someone who wrote a solver say that the optimal starting wo

Someone who wrote a solver said the optimal starting word is ROATE, since it had a bunch of vowels etc.

That is true for some high schoolers but many others are making meaningful contributions to their family’s income and/or saving for college. There’s really no excuse to not pay them a living wage as well.

I live in Ontario in Canada and it’s a problem here. I don’t understand what 2 years has to do with it. The big point of restrictions is to flatten the curve. This might be the last time it’s a problem, or it might continue for another year

It may be a “mild” illness, but a mild illness that spreads through the entire population at once is still a bad thing. Many hospitals in areas with Omicron have been pushed to the absolute limit, and that’s despite the fairly strict procau

Ok now show the data of what percentage of people have long term side effects from having covid.

by MattRix 5y ago
Not sure what you’re talking about. Policymakers have been talking to medical professionals and the people who run hospitals, since that’s where the biggest risk is in all this (that hospitals will be pushed well beyond capacity).

My point was that the kind of budgets of AAA games have now completely dwarf the “AAA” games from 20 years ago. There are still innovative games being made with the equivalent budgets and team sizes of those older games (2-50 people, $10 mi

AAA games are about art as much as big budget films are… which is to say: not a lot. You’re never going to see as much risk taken when each game costs hundreds of millions of dollars. There are however tons of “mid tier” studio, what some m

It is more than “modestly” popular. I don’t know the exact users counts but I’m he could make well over a million dollars even if the game’s popularity only lasts a month… though I’m willing to bet it stays popular for much longer than that

I’m not really sure why you bothered to reply, my comment had nothing to do with you. I was just pointing out the flaws in the scenario the parent comment presented.

They described a scenario where someone was born with mutated hands that happened to be useful for swimming after the earth floods. There’s no selection or evolution there.
659.
by MattRix 5y ago
Those traits would be selected because being able to swim increases survival. The purpose is survival via swimming. To put it another way, the fact that the inputs (mutations) are random does not mean the outputs have no purpose. If I said

by MattRix 5y ago
Their post missed the fact that evolution is about selection, not just single mutations.
