This game has been sold for a few years as "A fake artist goes to New York" (though it seems like the sort of thing that other companies could easily start selling too, so I'm not sure if that's the only one).

In some cases, definitely. Some people play the lottery their entire lives and win in the last few years of their long lives. They were still wrong for not quitting, even though they happened to get their pay out.

Anyone can make arbitrary withdrawals or transfers with only the info printed on the check (modulo fraud detection of course). People just don't know or don't think about the total lack of any technical security of their money.

The converse side of this is when you do hit something that isn't covered by the iOS documentation (and also can't find some random WWDC talk) you are completely stuck with no avenue to find out the answer, whereas with Android yo

I don't know, I think if there is a bias or we only read things released by Russian spies then it seems really important to take that into account If every single person's emails are at least controversial then it just means you a

Is it actually profitable to do that sort of unethical activity though? These aren't exactly loan sharks right?

I don't really understand the distinction: fewer children per family is the same thing as fewer per person right? Like if you have 1.4 children per person on average that means exactly 2.8 children per adult man + woman? All I meant to

When you say "birth rate is falling" its effectively the second derivative on "number of people" right? As in, if we have go from 2 children born per person to 1.5 children born per person, we are still growing the numbe

I think your line of thinking only implies the poster believed that he would receive a rewards, not that he did receive a reward (he may have regretted doing the work afterwards).

It is free like macOS is free, as in, it isn't. It is software that only runs on hardware created by that company: it would be like considering your embedded microwave control software free with the purchase of the microwave. Safari fo

I don't think this is true. If you develop a meta-AI and it doesn't immediately solve all other fields, the humans won't just suddenly stop. Maybe the Meta-AI ends up solving all of the rest of the fields later and the humans

I mean, AI research seems like it will be the last to go by definition: as long as there is anything else around to be taken over by AI then that is a justification that the AI researchers aren't done right?

And Guantanamo Bay is a bay besides also having a base there. I know nothing of Kotlin's specific name associations, but I don't think "it's the name of a place, therefore its fine" is valid in general. I think &quo

> c# is not native code and WPF is not a native UI "Native" confusingly has two different commonly used meanings. The one you seem to think is the only meaning distinguishes VM from non-VM runtime code (where C# is non-native).

I think it depends on more nuance than that: I do think it would be reasonable for people to avoid a language called Guantanamo because of the name associations. Wayland happens to be a place in MA but I'm from near there and even I ha

I think the situation is a lot more nuanced than that. The issue was that additition overflow is undefined behavior for both signed ints and pointers (but it is defined for unsigned ints). The fix commit changes it to use an unsigned intege

Number of machines that can run code written in the language isn't really the best metric for realistic portability. Sure, your toaster might run C and not JS, but it isn't going on run your C anyway.
