They also don't use pure randomness. They very finely tune the way the drops come out. If there's a card you don't have (or that you don't have much of), there's a MUCH higher chance of finding it than a card you&#x

If they decide to reject a person after knowing their history, they have several legal issues to jump through unless they're in an exempted industry. They have to tell the person explicitly what about their criminal background keeps th

Except Netflix has formally stated they don't care about Net Neutrality anymore. If they get throttled, they can tell their customers the ISP is doing it, and the ISP will face massive backlash. Netflix is now a big incumbent force tha

The update is that refunds aren't disabled, the system has always worked in this particular way for pre-orders less than 7 days before launch, and nothing has changed. When the game launches, the refund function is available for 24 hou

There's also the problem where girls are heavily targeted for harassment still in the streaming community. I'm under the impression it's slowly improving, but there was a well known twitch user who was a serial SWATer (callin

I remember that one. The game is that you can make one single change to species/environment, and he parts the clouds. His opponent ups aggression, and his opponent's species wipes his out. They send their game out into space, and

Well, part of that is movies (especially action movies) aren't well equipped to deal with those things. The cartoon gets ~20 minutes a week for weeks on end, the movie gets ~2-2.5 hours in one sitting. TV show can devote an entire epis

Yeah, the current title seems pretty misleading / politically slanted. The actual content of the article is a lot more. "Twitter's Testimony before the Senate Judiciary, Subcommittee on Crime and Terrorism" or something

I'm under the impression the only way an independence vote could be legal is if the Spanish Constitution was changed to allow that. The current constitution declares Spain "indivisible", with no more specific details. That wo

Would "racism is a statistically significant contributing factor" be more palatable for you than "it's happening because racism"?

In many places, it's already public record, you just have to request it. However, some places are putting rules in after overly broad and onerous requests ("I want to every piece of body camera footage ever taken" for example

I believe they're using a definition of flight that includes "powered". If you're gliding, you're always either losing speed, losing altitude, or both. In flight, you can increase those.

I've attended a talk he gave about torture at my university, and in that, he attacked torture from both the effectiveness and moral angle. There are apparently a LOT of people who push back even after accepting torture is worthless at

To be fair, the mascot character was a fad at that point. There were a bunch of stand alone games (because they didn't do well enough to get follow ups) with character designs like that. Never played 3DO, but I played some of the later

I don't have the kind of expertise you're asking for, but judging by the letter, it seems the EFF is asking for the decision to be re-heard because the court completely IGNORED legal precedent in their decision. The petition to re

This article isn't exactly a presentation of research. Several of those answerable questions will probably be worth Nobel Prizes for the people who can answer them. This is fundamentally a puff piece with a sleep expert promoting his n

There are similar laws on the books in some localities in the US still. Example: No retail alcohol sales on Sundays in Indiana. However, restaurants can still serve. At this point, it's a boon to generally slow Sunday restaurant sales,

I'm not so sure about this. If you look historically, in game deaths seem very common in early football. As the game has gotten better pads, players have also been getting much MUCH bigger, which is increasing risk, but we haven't

Looks like you unlock new modes as you progress (like Link finds new tools as he goes through dungeons), so you can't get the treasure chest until you have a delete one of some type. I'm a vim noob myself, so I don't know whi

"Big media corporation" is an exaggeration in that case. Peter Thiel's personal wealth is such that he could have bought out Gawker dozens of times over if it had been a publicly traded company. Gawker actually settled becau

This reminds me of some of the drama surrounding Keiji Inafune (creator of Megaman) leaving Capcom. Not nearly the level of company push back / employment issues, but there was lots of blame slinging on both ends. Then the appearance t
