I understand getting a Switch for the exclusives, but outside of that I wouldn't get a portable console for access to games I couldn't play otherwise, but access to games outside of the normal environment (my desktop PC). If you l

I'm bad at name dropping, but I atleast know of Adam Sandler and Shonda Rhimes signing exclusivity deals. I'm sure there are many more examples.

I come from a time when IRC servers (inside each network, Freenode being one) were usually sponsored by universities, ISPs, foundations, etc. This mindset of "competitors" and business cost of hosting some IRC chatter as if it&#x2

What support is needed outside of controller support and whatever OS it runs (I'm assuming linux)?

Having one USB-C dock powering your laptop (maybe with a hungry GPU), as well as a couple of monitors with everything through just usb-c cables is my hope, and this is one step closer.

And they'd have gotten away with it too if it weren't for that pesky internet!

As someone who has been on IRC since ~95 and still uses it, I view Discord as several self-hosted IRC servers (with voice/video features on top), and in that way it compares more favorably. I wont speak to the privacy issues/data

Matterbridge (and probably similar) exists. If some old farts (myself included) want to keep using irc hosting your own isn't bad, and having a bridge between that (and other services/protocols) and discord enables everyone to use

Because the dead person they were attached to doesn't answer polls, nor own much of anything. But I suppose a live person can also own a bunch of torsos. The statement however only pertained to legs.

I haven't looked around very much, but getting VSTs on something other than a desktop DAW has been something I've wanted for a while, to enable audio from a dumb keyboard, Without a dedicated (limited) synth or a full desktop&#x2F

And the purpose of a market is to force for profit corporations to compete with other actors. Sometimes this requires regulation when a one or a few get too large.

Incentives on one is to maximize profits, which in a monopoly means just extracting more money and spending less. Incentives on the other is electability (or ideology, perhaps rare), which at least has the possibility of meaning doing a goo

You're probably right, any tech ad featuring the tag "security".

> 0.15 % of the entire us population just for cyber security? Even better: 0.15% of the entire US population for unfilled jobs. I'm going to assume most of these aren't permanent positions but gigs.

It isn't the goal as much as an unavoidable effect. I however don't feel that comparing video removal to incarceration is relevant. Compare it to traffic rules instead (or anything else you can think of). You have to stop unnecess

Absolutely no expert, but afaik stability is not about the market going up, but closer to a measure on how much the participants in the market agrees on where it's heading. It might often mean that it's more stable when an index l

No, it would mean any entrant into the ISP market has a cost moat for each neighborhood that inevitably has to be paid by the end user, for no gain other than ISPs owning their own connection, which has no user benefit, and thus, only benef

Well, the alternative is that they had noticed it, which is worse.

Ask every libertarian if they want to go back to the gold rush. It's a pointless question the answer of which doesn't produce the information you think it does.

I don't disagree, but it's a separate game with equal footing for everyone, and better than I expected it could be. It would of course never work cross-platform.

You need to tear up roads to lay cable, meaning you likely want to limit it down to preferably one per neighborhood, as all other infrastructure is. Not doing that would give you this: https://media.istockphoto.com/photos&#x

Hypothetical out of thin air: Are you trying to promote something on a brand new domain and there are dns records that haven't propagated? I'm old so maybe this is a solved problem that takes 1 second nowadays, but just a thought.
