Great thoughts in this tread, thanks. In Battlefield 3 and 4, DICE chose to implement the latter option (aiming and hit detection are clientside, no questions asked). The tradeoff - and I'm sure you'd agree there is always a trad

Nicely done! Good idea and execution, congrats.

Yeah, some work has been done in this area, but I only know about it in passing via a mention in one of Jacob Appelbaum's talks. This seems like it might be a decent place to start: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-b0T

For me (Chrome, Win7), the gaps are explained by "PageSpeed Insights Reporting" and "SASS Support" wrapping down to the next row for all but a small range of horizontal viewport widths.

Well, now I'm curious. I hope some attentive lawyers are working on a "revision log".

I think it's worth keeping the question narrow in order to keep discussion focused on the topic at hand. Other countries have different sets of laws around elected officials, lobbying, campaign contributions and so on that probably giv

Looks really nice. Am I blind or is there no volume control? Is there a reason you chose to exclude it?

She retained the money. And then I called the wire transfer company and placed a stop on the payment. It's unclear to me how this works. At first, it seems as though she and Anthony pursued this action independently, which would see

Interesting move. Presumably, it's preferable to the NSA to let everyone know MYSTIC was implemented in Iraq, rather than deal with the (further) increased mistrust that might arise from suspicions that it was used on e.g. some Europe

Because it's considered "vertical integration" and therefore not subject to anti-trust laws. Comcast merging with Time Warner would be considered horizontal; Comcast merging with NBCU was considered vertical and therefore all

It depends upon how you approach the game. If you try to navigate the game morally, treating all other players as humans, potential friends who you don't want to kill, you might find your experience frustrating. Personally, I found e

Well, that's the thing with corporations. They might be run by people who otherwise have a moral compass, but a corporation's responsibility is abstracted and shared such that in many cases no one person feels a great amount of gu

Interesting, that would be a different type of capture - partial capture, you could call it - and both potentially more insidious and far more difficult to prove. One: to the public the DEA still appears to be doing its job (and in a sense

I think regulation of pharmaceutical industry falls primarily under the purview of the FDA, not the DEA.

I don't think the DEA is at nearly as much risk of being captured by those they're meant to regulate compared to the SEC. Power and money are extremely concentrated on wall street, and there is a well-documented revolving door bet
