In snes Zelda, the dungeons were designed such if only you had an item, it would be so much easier. Like a rope to clear ledges vs having to go all the way around. It is said that this teaches without words.. makes players long for an item

I agree with you, I think if you look past the marketing all they really did was make templates with parameters that computers tried to play with. I think their approach tended to not work better then humans picking the templates and parame

Visual design is about messaging. You can have a page look messy, professional, punk, clean, etc. You can accomplish that all with templates, no need for ai. The grid was a content manager at its core, with prebuilt templates. It basically

I think they way they see it is they are a company of scale. Scale is what they are good at (if anything). So they shutdown lots of small successes to try and focus on the huge wins.. things like youtube, gmail, google docs, etc. things mil

This might be ill-informed, but if it goes out of control, wouldn't it reshape worldwide demographics? Young and old would die at different rates. That seems like the potential biggest impact.

For Java the dream was "write once run anywhere". Today developers have to maintain different codebases for the native apps, internet, and desktops for users to have the best experience. For usb, it was one cord for all serial dev

51% isn't all powerful. It would mean you could chose what transactions to process and you could potentially (and very visibly) reverse transactions that happen while you have that much hashing power. That's it, you can't tra

While Google may be paid per click, the value of that click (how much companies are willing to pay), is directly dependent on their conversion rates. So Google is incentivized to get you the most converting clicks as possible.

I think most of the microtransaction argument here is forgetting about Swagbucks [1]. I would argue micro transactions are doable, either through networks or payout systems that wait until you have enough for a payout. I believe the real re

Yeah the degree never tries to cover the specifics of every industry and job. It doesn't even specialize in people management (MIM is that degree). MBA tries to help build the mindset to begin your learning off of (assuming you have an

Emotionally, when I hear things like this I think unconsciously I secretly want companies not to give data over ever. And really the companies shouldn't collect it (hackers also exist).. However rationally I think there is a balance. I

For some background, the reason these laws exist is to protect consumers from counterfeiters. If someone produces jewelry in a clean baby blue box, customers will start to expect that same level of quality, etc. They will be ripped off if s
