GoT isn't an edge case - it's actually quite quick for an adaptation.

by Mindwipe 2y ago
The reality is that almost no adaptations happen until ten years after a book is published. Virtually never.

Given the continued mismanagement of the IA I would put decent money on that not happening actually.

You absolutely can't because neither company does it.

Because none of them have sold enough units to count as very large platforms under the DSA.

> “Higher levels of dopamine release” is a nonsense metric. Then the correct answer to the parent comment's request for evidence to the claims of higher levels of dopamine release is "no, there isn't any, and it is likely

So, absolutely not evidence of dopamine release which is what the parent comment asked for.

by Mindwipe 2y ago
That is absolutely not evidence.

"Developed" and "successfully shipped" are two enormously different things.

TBF Hot Wheels do both, but the realistic ones tend to be significantly more expensive, and hence mainly not bought by/for kids .

Seems fine as long as the same is done for apps from Google Play too. Which of course it isn't.

There was about eight years between Terrahawk's failure and the BBC deciding to repeat Thunderbirds to great success so the two things are probably unrelated.

Yes, they are. This competition means an enormous boom in quality content has been produced that would have never existed otherwise because of the competition. Choices are great and have resulted in far better services.
258.
by Mindwipe 2y ago
No it isn't, the competition is great and is lowering prices across the board, and no arbitrary censorship exists. The desktop games market is much heathier and less dangerous for users than the mobile app market.

You don't like it, but that doesn't make it absurd. It is how every country in the world operates with sites coming into their borders. The IA doesn't geofilter it's availability, and therefore it is subject to the laws
260.
by Mindwipe 2y ago
It is worth noting this is a US only oddity. In almost every other country in the world libraries do pay a royalty to lend books. It's notable that the IA service was not geofiltered to the US only.

No, why?

This is pretty common FWIW. Google revokes attestation keys for Android hardware a lot, especially Widevine Level 1 keys. Ten years into that, the public doesn't seem very excised about it.

The UK has no national ID - it is still a disaster waiting to happen, but it is worth noting that most of the worst effects are still under consultation by the regulator and not being enforced. It is still possible it fails under judicial r

I'm not instinctively anti-AI, even if I think the foreseeable term usefulness is overstated. And I know testing artefacts happen. They really do. Sometimes test audiences love something that is just a disaster in wide release. But eve

They work because they work. You stop the advertisising and the sales stop, instantly.

This scoring is awful. Literally what you have done here is incentivise sites from well funded bad actors, or sites that push more elaborate scams on elderly people. A plausible and sustainable funding model is a good sign for sites.

Google's design frameworks for the last five years have been completely unaccessible for those of who need concise and compact UIs.

One of the reasons Google Image Search is so neutered is because it was sued and lost. Small extracts or low quality assets are usually permissible, full on scraping is not.
