Is it a persecution complex when many of these kinds of "technical errors" seem to so often befall people from one political persuasion? Some of them clearly weren't errors and that has happened enough that people stop believ

How do you propose somebody demonstrate that something did not happen because of hate speech restrictions? It is very difficult to prove a negative. What we can do is reason over the situations that have cropped up. Do you think it&#x27

I'd like to add to what you're saying: the religious right of the 2000s and earlier is what some of the left wing looks like today. Instead of religion they have some form of social justice.

Once copyright lasts for a reasonable amount of time, then we can talk about making DMCA notices "more deadly". Copyright is a farce, it might as well be infinite in duration right now, because it magically extends when it starts

I wonder if the system used for plastic bottles could also work for other types of packaging. Add a cost to the packaging that the consumer can get back when they bring the packaging to some recycling or similar place.

Perhaps we're different then, because when I see a large number I just skip over it unless the specific number is important. I'll essentially leave it as a blank. I think sub vocalization for kanji that you don't know the pro

We consider it a tip-of-the-tongue moment when the word we want to say actually exists. However, I think the process by which this works is the same or very similar in which your translation problem works. You have a concept in your mind th

I think a better method is to read at least the first sentence of every paragraph and last sentence on short paragraphs. This way you have an idea on what the paragraph is about. Another thing you can do is scan the paragraph you're sk

I wonder why some people type faster. If tested, I average around 125 wpm in reasonable tests (625 cpm really). I've never tried to learn to type quickly. I've never had anything beyond a $10 keyboard and I don't even type

It's not about the Battle Royale genre itself. > As for building in multiplayer you've got years of work before, putting aside Minecraft, you've got 7 Days to Die, Rust, Arc Survival:Evolved. 7 Days to Die is graphically

You're not wrong about Rust, but Rust was in beta for so long that Fortnite and Rust had their full release in the same year.

I get where you're coming from and it is an evolution in it, but Fortnite does have more players per map. And the map is a lot bigger. The interactable objects and building is what make it quite different technically. With games where

While Fortnite might not do anything new as a business, as a game, on the technical side, it does offer new stuff. Fortnite supports large worlds with lots of players in fast-paced multiplayer. To make matters even more complicated, the pla

I don't really see that here though. He's over-generalizing, but you can't claim that some (many?) journalists don't do exactly what he mentioned. People expect what journalists write to be trustworthy, but too often wha

At this point it has to be on purpose, right? There is no way that Twitter has just overlooked this closing of accounts "for suspicious activity" for years right when the account is created.

They probably didn't, because back then the kid would be allowed to go to school on their own.

So, you prefer that they peddle in political influence in ways other than money instead? Things that are harder to track and follow? Because companies as large as Google cannot afford not to.

While I think that your distinction is interesting, I find that even people who say they are absolutists are willing to negotiate based on some criteria.

You still need to be somewhat attractive for all of this to matter. Not everyone is.

The argument still stands. "Honey, can you take a look at why this script isn't compiling the shopping list correctly?" "Sorry, my skills are to be used exclusively for the benefit of my employer."

But why would I need a map like the one in the article in the first place then? All I have to do is locate the station I want to get to and consult the list of lines leading to the station.

by Mirioron 7y ago
But you'd have to guess which station is where, because the map isn't necessarily representative of it.

by Mirioron 7y ago
I find these maps difficult to use if I'm in a new city. I have to essentially guess which station corresponds to which real world location to plan my trip. Luckily, Google maps can account for that, so only station names become import
