I don't disagree. To paraphrase what I said previously: without sufficient non-gaming demand, prices must regress to some degree.

Time will tell if the market can longterm normalise $500+ as the entry level for beyond-basic PC graphics. It's a tough sell from a mainstream gaming perspective, given the relative prices of popular consoles, which have stayed fairly

I'm looking forward to more technical detail of precisely what Overture Map intend to do. I'm all for standardisation and collaboration improving the foundations of mapping data, but I reserve judgement about the scale of impact u

What does "having it together" actually mean? It sounds like the parents, quite understandably, develop common traits specific to the circumstances they share (that is, "raising human offspring"). To conflate those role-

Drinking alcohol and motorcycling do have some government mandated controls, including some based upon age. In addition to alcohol, a great many chemical substances fall under government controls. Particularly where the public health risk i

Yes, all kinds of differences abound, both physical and mental. But, like all animal species, we mostly fall within our own fairly tight range of behaviours and traits - that defines our species. It's nice to have a high IQ - I've

We tend to be born with more-or-less the same potential. But only some of us had two experienced elders of the species, who loved us above all else, dedicated to shepherding and building the foundations of our lives - intelligently setting

Jumping in here. I suspect that the number of people who could benefit from quality therapy, greatly outnumbers the amount of quality therapists that exist in the world. To the point where, I surmise, a vast majority of the world's p

One manipulation mechanism is leverage. Binance and other crypto exchanges offer leveraged trading to all members, and it's fair to say [1] that there's a huge uptake of those services due to their open-door nature, crypto's

Well it has lost about one quarter of it's value VS Bitcoin in the past 3 weeks. Whether or not that fits the definition of cratering is up to the individual. 27 Nov: 1 BNB = 0.0188 Bitcoin; 17 Dec: 1 BNB = 0.0142 Bitcoin

Upon consideration - you're right, that is basically what I'm highlighting. It's a large component.

The article speaks of success in terms of talent plus hard work. I posit that perhaps Social factors are the third key contributor to outcomes. e.g. in simple terms: imagine genius twins, separated at birth, one raised well in a functional

It's not a binary choice. "The criminal is at fault" and "the investors weren't very wise to give him their money" are both true.

They weren't at a casino. They lost the money in trading markets. The same way they'd previously made a lot of money over several years, that being the very way they originally made their name and fortune. That does not lessen the

Culpability still exists whether crimes were intended or not. Therefore, not a defense.

Sure. But 'complete downfall' isn't a thing that one advances entirely purposefully toward, either. Unintended consequences will have occurred within the detail of proceedings. Whether-or-not to label those unintended aspects

No doubt it was both, to some degree. The latter doesn't excuse the former. And the whole matter is only made worse by (or, perhaps, 'highlights') the surrounding incestuous cesspool of other crypto exchanges and funds, and t

That's unfortunate because, whatever other factors may exist, it's undeniable that heavy addiction to certain drugs like alcohol or heroin can be completely debilitating in it's own right. But it's also true that as long

By focusing solely upon drug addiction, one runs the risk of overlooking the myriad other complex factors which lead these people to where they are. The actual causes go further back than the addictions themselves. A person desperate enough

IMO, battling poverty by way of a war on drugs is like fighting chicken pox by pressing the bumps flat. The underlying causes need to be addressed, else you'll simply get a new batch.

If we're looking to find root causes, then, in most cases, we can't stop at the drugs. There are almost always outside, causative circumstances which lead to those individuals taking the addiction pathway in life. It's not a

Voice control clearly has potential applications and merits, but in it's current iterations, does not seem to have a so-called 'killer app' or feature that would compel mass adoption.

I imagine this would be quite difficult in practise, due to all the subliminal factors behind a person's writing choices. For example, as somewhat illustrated here, your personal vocabulary is a kind of fingerprint. As you mention, usi

In countries which already have advanced, digital, unified land record systems, "illuminating public land" would be a relatively simple database instruction.

The populi will vox on a larger scale, and over a longer timeframe, than one man's hasty, insular poll can show. That is, Twitter's success or failure over the next year or two will be the ultimate proof of leadership wisdom, or l
