I'd rather James Cameron. Avatar is a closer visual relative to Nausicaa than Villaneuve's Dune, and his long-standing desire to see Gunnm adapted (which he eventually passed to Robert Rodriguez so it could actually get done) tell

Yes. Nintendo spent decades as an also-ran novelty company before Hiroshi Yamauchi had the foresight to go all-in on video games. Ghibli is obviously a very different company, but with Goro's continued involvement, it seems like it wil

I don't think this is necessarily true. Your standard desktop computer has gotten much easier for a casual user to navigate over time, but not any less robust for power users. This is because powerful tools for customization and buildi

I submitted a post about this some time ago. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28113007 It's not just an issue of refining results to fit a majority of the population. Something is seriously wrong with it.

If we're optimizing for the cyclist's safety wrt a "pack" of cars, they themselves should pull over and wait for the "pack" to pass. Otherwise, a driver doing their best to clear the hazard as quickly as possib

Right, move to a city center with million-dollar studio apartments instead.

The channel mentions regularly that this isn't because of a lack of demand, but because of restrictive zoning laws and building codes that forbid it.

I tend to overtake cyclists specifically for their safety. I figure that the farther I am from them, the lower a chance of a collision there is. If that holds true, then the only options when encountering one is to slow down and possibly im

It's important to point out that DMSA's release alledges that media has been trading on rumors that Evergrande had made the earlier missed debt payments before the grace period ended, when in fact it it had not. Several commentato

A lot of people seem intent on letting us know that this is the case, at least.

In this case, "brands" meant platforms. So instead of getting results full of small websites that talked directly about your query, you got Pinterest spam. Because Pinteret is "trustworthy."

Okay, and humor me: why might I have come to that conclusion? Note that I've actually already explained why, so there's no reason for you to "fail to understand." All you have to do is bring yourself to actually write it

Games have always been pretty linear, though. The ones that had a notable degree of "freedom" found that freedom in a) Choosing which enemies to go and kill with your chosen color of pixel burst. or b) Choosing which set of text a

Because I've had this conversation in bad faith far too often, I would like for you to paraphrase what you think my argument has been up to this point, so that I may ascertain your ability or willingness to understand it.

>The dormitory’s nine identical residential floors would be organized into eight “houses” with eight “suites” (shown here) with eight bedrooms. Sounds unironically like something Scientology-adjacent.

No? The point is that poverty and financial weakness in the black community is a direct result of racist attacks on black economic activity, often carried out or backed by the government, and now practically self-sustaining by nature of the

I fully expect the price to crash gloriously once the pullback starts, to fractions of a percent, but 1% of the current is still impressive. 8 grand to $5 million? That's, uh, not too bad.

The laws of digital physics say that FOSS jank must be conserved, they just moved it to someplace people won't mind. I'd rather have weird update numbers than weird updates.

Because race was an explicit and continues to be an implicit factor in separating the haves from the have-nots. >Probably from BlackRock in this case, not from WhiteRock. That's cultural appropriation.

I imagine that it will be much like the dotcom bust, with a handful of resilient applications outlasting the 99% that are weak or straight-up scams. One wonders if Gamestop is going to pull an Amazon or a Pets.com.

How would you propose to level the entrenched inequities if not by reversing the previously unequal distribution of scarce resources?

As a black man, I usually decline to put my race on job applications. Even though EEOC information isn't supposed to be used to discriminate against applicants, I don't believe for a second that it isn't. Unfortunately, havin

The newest episode of CSI: Vegas included a segment highlighing "gait analysis" as a technique used to identify a suspect from camera footage. To their credit, one of the characters mentions that it's too new of an approach t
