Rocket League is an extremely twitchy game, especially in 1s. Several of the best 1s players in the world were playing from KSA for years on well over 100 ping. They were winning tournaments without a single loss against players on single-d

Microsoft definitely takes the Halo esports scene seriously, so running an esport well is definitely in their skillset. Hopefully those people are paying attention and want to get promoted.

There are like 20 game publishers that are worth over a billion dollars. Gaming is much, much bigger than you think, this is just rearranging the deck chairs.

Age of Empires, for one. Thoughtful updates and remastered versions that aren’t priced like new games. Then new games that are actually worth the update. Can’t wait for that same ethos to be applied to Warcraft.

So you campaigned against Sony buying Bungie too, right?

I mean, fair enough I guess. Why play the OpEx vs CapEx game when you can just pay both.

That’s a very near-sighted idea. Can you really not see the problem?

Now your business depends on that one person, congratulations. Hope they don’t realize that their skills are better suited to working at AWS/Azure etc. for 2x the money. Which they are.

Of course they are, it’s a contractual agreement that is within the law. The fact that you don’t like it could not be less relevant, you don’t matter. If the government doesn’t like the law, they can (try) to change it but that has to go th

So in your opinion accountability means firing the person who got the job after the incident happened? Amy Hood became the CFO in 2013.

I sometimes envy people like you not being able to hear the difference between trash headphones and good ones.

You forgot no audio quality.

> you don't randomly block eyeball networks because they're attacking you. ISPs do this literally all the time. They sell services that do this.

There’s (as ever) no need for a blockchain, people do this with twitter and sha256 all the time. Hash the message, post the hash, wait for prediction to happen, post the full message.

I did, for years. This is the type of viewpoint I would expect from someone who has never lived in an actually diverse country.
346.
by c0pium 3y ago
That’s a pointless argument, by that metric everywhere is infinitely diverse.

by c0pium 3y ago
Diverse in comparison to the upper Midwest is a very low bar. France is a monoculture.

I bet that sounded good in your head, but if your country is +80% people who have lived there for generations you are lacking in diversity.

Western Europe is about 85% white. The US is about 60% white. It’s not even close.

You should be aware that the oxybenzones in that stuff are killing the coral and leading to reef bleaching. The mineral version is less bad, but still not a good idea if you or your sewage are even vaguely near tropical water. The more conv

Some people tan really easily and think that everyone is like them.

You said the same thing that I said but with more words. There are a ton of people in the audiophile world who swear that knowledge of what you’re listening to makes a physiological difference and therefore it’s not the placebo affect. It’s

Society’s stated preference is things like healthy food, paying as opposed to ads (not being the product), and no notifications. Society’s revealed preference is McDonald’s, watching YouTube ads, and letting apps send whatever notifications

No you can’t. Maybe it’s volume, maybe it’s the non-blinded nature of the testing, but you can’t hear it. They’re the same.
355.
by c0pium 3y ago
That is absolutely not true. People can be trained to hear that difference when the testing is not blinded, however in triangle tests that ability vanishes.

by c0pium 3y ago
I have very good equipment and lots of people in my circle who are audio enthusiasts. None of them have ever been able to demonstrate in a blind test that they can tell the difference.

I love that there’s a Jira ticket in someone’s backlog that says “teach the model how many hands humans have”.

You think that survivors are not an indication of survivorship bias. That’s too naive for words, congrats.

I’m angry, so screw all these other people who had nothing to do with it? Classic. I didn’t need to ask, you’re not exactly an enigma. Look at your post history for like 2 seconds.

Because they did an analysis of what was offered and what it cost and determined it was the best fit. Coupled with the fact that it’s run by the company with the best reputation in tech for backwards compatibility and you have a pretty comp
