A lot of games are fragile, and have poor or no test coverage. So if the engine changes, it can break or have all sorts of unforeseen consequences. So you want to be building in an engine that isn't changing.

Full quote for context: Riccitiello: Ferrari and some of the other high-end car manufacturers still use clay and carving knives. It’s a very small portion of the gaming industry that works that way, and some of these people are my favourit

That is silly hyperbolic overreaction. The court literally upheld the EPA regulating greenhouse gasses at the point of creation. It upheld the specific regulations how coal was burned. All it said was the EPA wasn't empowered to move i

So if we decided to channel all voter access expansion and protection funds to the Koch Brothers that would be totally fine because it should be considered non-partisan? In the most abstract sense, it isn't partisan. In the actual impl

The lowest poorest 20% have the highest credit card debt to income ration (almost 25%). Inflation will crush them. Cost of debt will go up, cost of living will go up. Inflation is the worst for poor people.

It isn’t really NIMBYism to oppose remote desert solar plants, it is just people who care, perhaps without fully weighing cost/benefit, about any negative effect on nature. There is a rational case that the huge footprint of solar and

People, especially the press, don't talk about M2V because they don't understand it. No one does outside finance or econ classrooms, and most of them don't either. BTW, jibe, not jive.
