But thats just the thing. Its hard to get past the UI. You really have to be dedicated to get over the steep learning curve of both the game mechanics and the UI. For new players its often just too much effort for a game. Ideally the game s

There is so much hype with AMD atm. In particular sites like WCCFTech have gone almost rabid with hype. My experience is that AMD tend to over promise with their marketing and rumours. So whilst the hype may well be warranted this time, I

I found the new version significantly better than the old. I immediately 'got it' after reading some of the new chapters compared to the more complete old version which I sometimes struggled with for a while. I would definitely re

I think its not just the tax, but the combination of plain packaging (strong imagery) and the laws regarding where people can smoke. It makes it harder for people to continue to smoke, providing motivation to quit. However, I think its more

I start with my fingers all closed into a fist. I simply open the next finger, starting from my little finger. When I reach my thumb, I know to do the next 'thing' (whatever it is), then repeat. Rather than using your brain to sto

I looked at Syncany, but it looks like the project is dead: > The core team of Syncany is on hiatus for an indefinite amount of time. Feel free to do with the code what the license allows and encourages, but please don't expect any

I have been using SpiderOak (SO) for nearly 6 years. However, I have been keeping an eye out for a viable alternative as I feel SO is starting to be neglected. In the past year or so, SO has barely received any updates (apart from the occas

Well it would be nice if you could whitelist sites you think are worth the clicks. So, sites you like get a lot more click revenue, because you clicked every add. While the desired effect of diluting PPC would be reduced, you wouldn't

I think that neural networks work well in muscle memory applications - repetitive and fast motions. I think in this case, the robot could learn (in a similar manner to other systems [1][2]) some fundamental motion characteristics (primitive

This is a clever novel design and shows lots of potential. The next step would be attaining the ability to right itself and land on its foot. Some kind of machine learning (NN) would probably work well.

Maybe tho OP will appreciate the time someone took to correct their grammar. There was no malicious inclination or abuse behind the post. The corrections didn't include something like "far out your grammar is bad, learn how to wri

Welfare is meant to help provide a minimum living standard. Society generally agrees that living below these levels is not acceptable to allow (though perhaps survivable). It is therefore seen as more of a human right in western worlds. Rem

I would white list a few sites I regularly visit that don't have; excessive/obtrusive/annoying ads, ad services that track me, or a potential avenue for malware from ads. Problem is, for me, there are almost no sites like thi

Perhaps it is just another form of violence. Instead of trying to inflict physical pain, people try to inflict emotional pain. In many ways it can be more damaging, the signs can be less obvious. I would suggest this causes greater polarisa

I think part of the problem is that jobs are becoming more and more high skill based, requiring many years of university level education. The low skilled jobs are replaced with high skilled ones. The problem is our education systems are fal

I had a discussion with OP in the past [1]. It basically boils down to him believing society has advanced to the point where not every one has to work (due to automation etc). Basic income (BI) should therefore be implemented and the societ

Perhaps bad practice was the wrong word. Unnecessary might have been a better word.

Not sure if this is considered bad practice, but I have uMatrix installed with noscript. I use uMatrix for script blocking and have noscript set to globally allow scripts, with ABE, XSS, clickjacking, etc protection enabled to cover the wea

It not the kind of thing that would happen suddenly, but gradually. A little change here, a little change there and after 10 years, its changed a lot. All it would take is the right political climate and circumstances, combined with ad camp

That is something I had never considered. If many people become dependent on UBI, they are entirely dependent on the state - to the point they can be taken advantage of if power is abused. UBI in some ways does take an element of freedom fr

I wonder if it is also partially due to family structure in many western societies. Around mid twenties, it is generally expected to have a job and have moved out. Many move away from family and friends due to work/university. Or just

Yeah, it also means minorities can be silenced via the majority. While this is good for protecting against incorrect/poorly researched work, it can also prevent novel ideas from gaining traction. Though, this problem exists in the syst

I often have trouble expressing my thoughts concisely for complex concepts. I know the concepts and have a model in my mind of the 'thing' I want to explain. When thinking through, i'll abstract out many things, simply referr

by elementalest 10y ago
Perhaps you are actually thinking in concepts, and in order to help organise and 'sequentialise' those thoughts, you translate them to words in your head at the same time. Therefore, you 'hear' the words, but don't

What something like a heart monitor would need above anything else is reliability.

It amazes me that such a vote was not compulsory. About 28% (~13m voters) didn't care enough to vote. I suspect that a large majority would have voted to stay if they had to choose. This would likely have resulted in the UK staying in

If Valve lock out the rift from their games, it just reinforces the exclusivity, lockouts and polarisation. Means less sales through steam, less profit for valve. If they lock out the rift, will they lock out all the other HMD that will sur

Currently, if you didn't know about a circumstance, people forgive you and generally understand. But, if you took the time to find out this information personally, this would have meaning, showing that you cared enough to spend the tim
