Do wonder if in/out and altruism/psychopathy overlap. Meaning that an altruist has a wider sense of in-group, while a psychopath has a much narrower one. I guess this however opens up the possibility that one can "learn"

Bingo. With Amstrad in the end buying most of Sinclair Research.

Amstrad. Their CPC range sold well enough that they ended up buying most of Sinclair Research and releasing a few models of Spectrum variants based on Amstrad industrial design. One model post-purchase Spectrum even included the same kind o

From back when 3 guys could make a CPU in a year. The Z80 was also a big deal in Europe, where it powered two (major) brands of micros in UK alone, and was cloned extensively in the USSR.

Depends on the market i suspect. That said, they seem to do way less marketing than Samsung or Apple. Even so, they have carved out a niche of making smaller Android phones (their Compact variants) that share internals with their larger bre

Yeah the big gray blob in the middle of the map (i'm guessing the Holy Roman Empire) were comprised of a collection of city states and regional fiefs that elected a "emperor" with barely any power ever so often. https:/

So it is yet another example of "context insensitivity" from readers/critiques...

I dunno about low key stuff like bathing, but sex acts i am sure you will find examples off on big name sites like pornhub.

Another element that i have noticed locally is that many more men pick up vocational work locally (because many vocational schools were established with support from local industry), while women leave for cities and such for education. And

Ugh, drivers and signing is such a mess right now. I have before me two tablets. Both running W10 home, both using the same Intel Atom internals. But apparently one is running a the 32-bit version and the other the 64-bit version. And lo an

Sounds like a real classic market segmentation tactic. I recall reading about a oscilloscope or something that had two models, one monochrome and slightly worse performance, one color and slightly better better. Turns out that if you flashe

Given the size of most multimeter probes i have seen, i can't shake the feel that it could get very fiddly very fast.

Seems like if you leave it up to the cable manufacturers to implement parts of a standard (beyond X wires at Y gauge minimum) they are bound to fuck something up. Just look at the amount of screw-ups over the resistors used in USB C cable v

Not simple at all, as in both instances we are looking at multiple images that compare different version with various measurements attached.

Its been that way since day one. The FBI can clobber your .com domain if you infringe US law, even if both you and your server are located in places it would be perfectly legal.

I don't mind ads as a concept. I do very much mind ads that stick a massive zombie in my face when i happen to be browsing a url listing that may hold something about games.

When has D&D rules ever had an emphasis on storytelling? Hell, trying to build a P&P RPG that focus on storytelling effectively kills the spirit of the game. Turning it into a game to tag team game masters.

Nothing stops anyone from offering patches to multiple projects to sync development. Hell, some of the biggest changes crossing the kernel/userspace divide have just that.

Because nobody were interested? Damn it, Apple have a similar thing going in OSX (or whatever their greasy marketing wants to call it this year) but when it was basically offered to the BSDs on a silver platter they didn't want it.
