Reading back I definitely come off a bit too harsh on gametap - It was a good service from the start. but I remember it seeming like there was trouble figuring out a pricing/content model that worked, as you said a lot of people who we

GameTap had a Decent collection of Sega consoles and arcade titles back in the day, though it unfortunately never got off the ground. Nintendo has been particularly aggressive regarding ligating against ROMs historically and sold them as in

As an aside, as an owner of a x1950 pro at the time it's fun to read old reviews of how sick the 8800 GTX was at launch and think reminisce about thinking of maybe buying a $400 almost as good 8800 GTS someday, while now they're $

I would figure conventional firearms would do the job pretty well depending on the round. That being said I could well see "anti robot" rounds becoming a thing similar to "zombie" stuff a few years ago.

From the article, "A major survey in the UK six years ago found one in three young women considered garments “old” if they had been worn just twice." I'm like you, but I think there's a pretty big disconnect between us a

My hunch is the memory of bad American sedans from the late 90s to early 2000s has either stuck around longer. I think now much less of a difference now but back in the day recall seeing more Sentra/Civic/Corollas on the road into

I would figure (smaller) banks and payment processors and "common people" could potentially stand to lose. For smaller banks if you assume that an alt coin would continue the goals of the FedNow instant payment system that's

Coke has played around with various "slim" or smaller 7.5oz or 8oz cans/aluminum bottles that are a higher cost per oz, though they don't seem to have caught on too much. Or with (somewhat questionable) alternative produ

For Architecture 7 which is similar they call out the reversal of the DAO hack as an example of giving over control to other groups being potentially undesirable. I'm not sure how likely something like that negatively affecting a fedco

I guess it's not so much that I wish those festivals were open to the public, but that there was something that provided a similar experience that was available to everyone, or typically participated in by everyone if that makes sense.

Not necessarily financially, but in terms of accessibility. For example I've personally never heard of a festival like this nearby me, outside of music festivals perhaps. Going by the article festivals were once more of a everyone or a

These smaller festivals seem great for those who can attend, but it seems like for those who can't the largest option is commercialized subcultures, something like Star Wars Celebration to pick an example.

To complicate things one further layer down, what about games (Escape From Tarkov's AFAK for example) having products in them that do hijack the red cross, which is somewhat common in real life.

I wonder what the closest comparison of weight for a repairable vs unpreparable laptop would be - a Latitude 5320 is lighter than a 13" MBP but that's largely due to plastic vs aluminum. Maybe the 2015 to 2016 13" MBP is a go

The Prius/THS/HSD was definitely groundbreaking, but it's also been mostly refined versus refined since it's 1997 release, and is now stuck in everything from luxury sedans to SUVs and the LC500h. For comparison Honda ha

I think the 10/10k Kia/Hyundai powertrain warranty only transfers on CPOs, otherwise you get the 5-year/60k bumper to bumper only, which I think this program would be the equivalent of.

The market cap will also increase as you buy loads of coins. For example if I went on coinbase pro, there are people willing to sell up to 50,000 ETH at a maximum price of $6,000, or a total cost of $220,000 million. Of course Coinbase isn&

Does anyone use this info for their own trading, particularly the $300 a year plan? You would figure if there's insider trading going on to be watched your performance copying their trades should be pretty good as well.

Samsung was also much more aggressive regarding incentives/commission for salespeople. At a Verizon store an employee might make $50-100 on selling a Samsung flagship vs $5 for an iPhone.

True, though the paper gold is valuable because someone could potentially take delivery, though that valuation on it's own is likely much less than it's current price if 1934-1970 is anything to go by.

I have to admit I have a very poor understanding of how FedNow and FedCoin are expected to operate or if they are expected to be tied together, with this article being one of the few I've found despite it's negative overall tone.
