I believe in game theory this is called signalling. If you think he's full of bluff and marketing, it certainly seems he believes it himself.

Well, I guess that explains why people like GOG and hate Origin.

The convenience of having your game licenses all in one place over the long term is too great. The only way you could shut down Steam at this point is create an open industry standard that would allow a license to play a game to transfer se

If you're living in Hong Kong and you've been paid to oust US spies, why on Earth would you ever set foot in America again? Especially after you've already been investigated by the FBI for what you were doing.

I'm going to guess it's not a physics-breaking, direct and conspicuous attack on foreign diplomats for observable reason.

Certainly here in Portland that's what people complain about. The rent here isn't as bad as, say, New York City or San Francisco. But it does mean that over time people can no longer afford to live in the neighborhood they grew up

> In general, the FDA over-regulates rather than under regulates. I STRONGLY disagree. The FDA is underfunded and only looks into a tiny minority of cases deemed worth their effort. Walk into a "health" food store and look at h

Then why not center the letters in each box, rather than write them carelessly? Even if the lines were of uneven width, they're still not straight lines when they should be straight, wobbly when they should be elliptical.

I'm always surprised at the awful artistic skills of maps during this period. If you look at the details, you can see how wobbly and uneven the simplest of lines and curves are. It seems odd because on the very large scale it would app

More like 800, I don't know why people like to exaggerate how much goes to taxes. Median marginal federal tax rate is 15%, which means on average it's less than that.

They should instead outlaw tracking a persons movements throughout their day without their knowledge or permission.

They would be in the same position as they were before, only without that system it wouldn't be worth researching the drug to begin with.

If you're going to monitor every aspect of a person's life, you're going to generate so much data that you'll generate almost nothing but false positives. None the less, I don't see why you couldn't just scale

Perhaps its time we started to design power-consuming devices to take advantage of fluctuating electricity costs. That would be one application of "the internet of things" that I don't immediately find creepy and pointless. A
