No suprise people on the street would be happy to receive extra cash for free, when asked. Unfortunately money doesn't grow on trees, and politcians know that :)

Makes me think of mud crack patterns. These happend when the soil contracts. Maybe it's the same type of phenomena, caused by ice contraction ?

It's very surpising, I thought they were gone for a full power-efficiency design. Android watches also have this type of autonomy if not used too much.

This may sound crazy, but this reminds me the behavior of a self-optimizing system. Too many people work on little parts of it, nobody sees the big picture. Everybody applies the 'spec' blindly. At the end you get something that b

Totally agree. But I'm having a hard time believing anyone explicitely ordered to make such a device. It would get caught soon or later anyway, right? I fail to see how a big corp like this could not see the impact. Why take such a stu

Yes, unfortunately too many people see it this way. I think it comes from the fact non-technical people don't necessarely understand what building software is. All they see is some nerds doing arcane magic with keyboards. The question

It's not a problem for Billy, software gets built by itself if you have the right ideas. Just throw some dollars at an over-seas team. Execution is never a problem. /s

Very well done and polished, had some fun ! Small bug I've found : If you stand in a 'cell' with 3 walls and the only exit is occupied by an enemy, you can't rotate to hit and get killed eventually. A drawing explains it

The only difference I see here is that Google will have a good occasion of optimizing the android system to deal with these assymetric cores in a proper way. It makes alot of sense when you think about it. Android has some good clues about
