Epic has not admitted that 12% is unsustainable, and the suggestion that it has is so detached from reality that it colors the rest of your comment as being extremely unreliable. You should double check your sources because you fell for low

There is competition for Steam and stores like Epic offer at 12% tier. Developers make substantially more money per sale on Epic than Steam. And the thing is, 30% cut is pointless for Steam. They have more money than they could ever spend.

This is all so wild to me. All of human art is derivative of other art and all human artists wildly steal from one another. Further, "style" isn't copyrightable or sellable. Artists don't sell a style, they sell artwork.

Energy is an interesting comparison. Perhaps we should look at $/energy unit, and compare those dollars to the full cost of hiring a human including time off and benefits and payroll taxes and everything. We should also consider that t

Considering the CEO of the company making Starship has openly messed with his other companies in support of Russia (thinking about Ukraine decisions), there is zero chance the US should get into a situation where Elon Musk is the decider of

I don't believe kitchenaid mixers were $20 "shortly after release" and I can't find any information around that. If you have sources, I'd love to see them, otherwise I do not believe that. For vacuums, any quality v

This is nonsense. Those tools and mixers and vacuums from the 60s and 70s cost the equivalent of thousands of dollars today. A 1950s kirby vacuum adjusted for inflation was $1800USD in todays dollars. Are you really claiming that an $1800 v

One would imagine that the west would then engage in China's favorite playing field leveler: they'd steal the technology by whatever means necessary.

That doesn't follow at all? Just because you can create something doesn't mean you can distribute it. Just because I drew Mickey Mouse doesn't mean I can sell it. Just because I sing Taylor's song doesn't mean I can

I would say it ought to be as legal as distributing a "how to draw mickey mouse" tutorial or a "how to sing taylor swift song" video or perhaps even a "how to make a twitter clone" tutorial.

I enjoyed Planetary Annhilation and this game claims you can let the AI do all of the RTS and just base build, so I would enjoy it. "Build impressively productive bases as your primary focus and delegate advanced artificial intelligenc

"As long as you ignore poor people and only look at this generation of American teenagers, Apple is hugely dominant!" I'm not sure this is the win you think it is ? Androids 70% marketshare has been extremely stable over the

I'm the opposite. Longtime Serpulo fan who really enjoyed the game and just can't stand the Erekir RTS style game at all. I don't want to build or direct troops in a Factorio game. That's literally the opposite of what I

They aren't the dominant platform regardless of qualifier. Android has a 70% global market share. They aren't even the dominant platform in any country, barely breaking 50% in a few. What's next, are we going to call OSX the

I find it very difficult to believe that Apple is going to incorporate AI hardware into their device and then open it up to everyone freely. That would be very off brand. Even in the browser space Apple famously forced all competing browser

Generally speaking, Apple has maintained rigid control over apps and have banned everything you mentioned. If EU app stores fill up with pornography and terrorism apps, you can imagine their move will be decried as a debacle and used by App

Well, then if you can convince the EU to force Apple to allow uncensored models that will happily teach you how to make bombs and all manner of things like that, then you can have those models on your iDevice. Not sure the EU is going to ju

If it's reasonable AND doable than why don't physicians in the fabled successful single payer systems get paid more? Why does just about every doctor in every universal system make dramatically less than their American counterpart

by criley2 3y ago
I wager there is literally zero chance that Apple will let you have any freedom in the model used, and there's zero chance that you'll be using anything except the Siri_Model unless you hack your iDevice. Just like there is 1 app

>> Well, physicians have to be paid accordingly for their time and financial investment... Baker estimates that the salaries of the roughly one million doctors in the U.S. account for about eight percent of total healthcare spending.

Pushing a software update is a big process, it's not some simple thing. There's a lot of process behind updating the software of a car where a bug could kill the occupants. For what it's worth: the physical buttons being link

This is insanity, you still have a long and arduous process to design and test your changes. Software isn't a shortcut that bypasses the processes that lead to "legal and safe"

How is it future proof? Knobs work fine on 30 year old cars and can be 3d printed or ordered. I've never had a daily driver touch screen last longer than 5 years, personally. It's planned obsolescence. Every part of the car should

That's not even the worst of it. They call their driver assistance features "Full Self Driving". What a scam.

The reason I dislike this is because it will always be a free app. I say that in the sense that they will include tracking and advertising and even if you "pay to remove" you have no real guarantee. It's better to have a paid

The idea that any for-profit company can self-govern without external accountability is also magical thinking A "Responsible AI Team" at a for-profit was always marketing (sleight of hand) to manipulate users. Just see OpenAI toda
