...during the arcade era it wasn't. The skill ceiling actually is pretty low for most arcade fighters. The ones that were high skill ceiling games didn't do all that well in arcades; Street Fighter 3 or Virtua Fighter for example.

I doubt you played Street Fighter 2 in the arcades when it first came out, then. This was a game where it was possible to redizzy people simply by spamming jab, or one where moves often did insane damage. SF really only became balanced arou

I don't think it would be possible to the scale needed. Well, not without burdening already overburdened local economies. A library is one per town or even region, and even they aren't really doing that hot despite being subsidize

if bitcoin were used anywhere near visa was, it would be mining + the infrastructure. How else would you spend them at walmart? They'd need a POS for example.

What's not stated is that "profitable" is still incredibly low. Supermarkets often have an average margin of 1-3% unless they go the pricey organic/health route, and it's natural they would seek every advantage to r

It's not emotional labor. It's that she tends to worry and obsess over routine decisions, and he can't be cared to put in effort on things that aren't important to him directly. Even if he changed, she would still nag an

The woman often takes that role on herself and refuses to relinquish it ever, though. If the man constantly decides, she will complain and second guess his usurpation of her emotional labor.

This one reminds me of groupon, the discounts they must ask for can't really be profitable to the business or drive much business to anyone. Otherwise the restaurants would just hire their own dedicated delivery person. You have to lov

Yeah, the "rascal" kind of mobility scooter is designed more for suburban use; being mounted on the back of a car or van, and designed to travel in public places where they are used sparsely; supermarkets, etc. They simply aren&#x

I don't think people outsource their thinking to machines. I think the algorithms just work well at finding similar things to what people choose to consume or like. They aren't perfect, but there's this need to explain things

Actually it's a good lesson I think. You can't really sustain what you did long term. You have to learn how to draw in every situation over a longer period of time to do well. You can't binge draw like this over the long term

The problem is the connected and omnipresent nature of the web means there's a constant, loud sea of voices and content you have to war against, one that's really hard to control or stop. In the old days, you worried about dirty m

Religious colleges are restricting speech mostly due to the religious nature of the institution though. A church isn't required to give equal time to atheists in its pulpit, and it's not "political" if the expulsion is d

That is a fallacy though, a cardiologist has extensively studied to treat heart attacks and made it his professional calling to tell you how to recover. Most rich people honestly have little to no idea about poverty at all; no real observat

It's not. A poor person isn't responsible for the hollowing out of the economy through increased productivity, and the switch to lower paid service jobs over well paying service and industrial jobs. There's only so much adapt

She's right, many people often prescribe things that are what middle and upperclass people do to reduce debt in their lives rather than what poor people can do to get out of poverty, and don't understand how life changes. A big ex

Government programs can be victim to massive amounts of fraud and waste, as well as put people through a lot of hoops in order to gain the same benefits or less you had before. It has no real pressure day to day to do well, and is very slow

This is for poorer african nations, and I doubt they are providing anything as opposed to giving existing efforts a convenient app to track things.

This isn't going to work. It looks like they are just appifying the missionariy/charity elements already going on in african nations, not providing universal healthcare. To have real universal health care would involve a lot of in

How do you get reviews when people have no idea the product exists in the first place? The amount of ignorance these comments have about why marketing in general is a necessary part of business is disheartening.

You don't. People should have more kids, period. What people don't get about the declining birthrate is that it leads to a graying of areas and a huge economic malaise as the elderly consume more and produce much less in terms of

why should Disney make Netflix richer? Netflix for Hollywood was just a middleman that siphoned away their profits. Disney is just removing them from the equation because they feel they can run their own streaming service and capture more v
