If everything is a service, you have no actual control. You may feel you do, but you only have control within the services' matrices of operation. If you have no control, you're not free. You may feel the freest you've ever f

Thanks. I never played the original.

Seems like it's big on dividing money into "out in the open" or "with the government" and its movement between those two states?

Thank you for that explanation.

Do a lot of cardio exercise, every day; at least 30 minutes. Do it for a month (every day!) and then see how you feel. Often I believe our underlying physiology is the real driver of sentiments which we attribute to conceptual things. Being

I agree. They worded that poorly, conflating mobile gaming and cloud gaming on mobile.

I made this point in another comment thread, but I think MS would make a competitor to Unreal/Unity instead. Think of all the game engine talent they now have. The IW engine for CoD, Halo’s slipspace, WoW. They could readily assemble a

Next headline: MS to acquire Epic Games? Tencent is in the way there. Really, I could see them launching their own engine. Think of all the studios and talent they have now. They have the engines behind Halo, CoD, WoW, Overwatch. Could buil

I could see them launching an Android “SurfacePhone” just because (to have SOME stance in mobile). Or Windows-based since Windows already has an android subsystem (or emulator right?).

Wait… WHAT?! Wow. Incredible to follow up the Zenimax acquisition with this. Was just playing a game via cloud gaming yesterday and thinking about how smooth it was and how MS was set for the future with GamePass. Congratulations to the Xbo

The democratization of information and discussion is invaluable really. Comes with downsides, which have to be addressed of course.

Seems like many bugs occur when programmers try to be clever unnecessarily. In this day and age, we don't really have to do tricks to save memory or time in application programs; it's just not worth it with modern silicon and comp

I know. I'm mixed on this, but isn't it ultimate work-life separation? Getting a little sci-fi here, but imagine not even knowing the names of your coworkers, project, manager, or even employer in the future; the system is so well

Just to make a point, it's fine if something's audience is entirely composed of computer nerds or academics at first. After refinement it can gradually make its way into consumer world; e.g., the internet, the most successful dist

God I hope it all dies. Deleted FB months ago. All feed "algorithms" are awful! Whether it's YT, Instagram; they give terrible recommendations/content. But, we all know what the algorithms are really optimizing for (it&#

Fair point. But again, that would be less of an issue if there were like 3 or 4 big search engines with different algorithms, all changing and adapting on their own schedules. Would be harder to game the system then.

Yeah… but why? You’re telling me what is the case currently but I’m wondering why the copper, fiber, and switches can’t be replaced by the 5G solution.

by kizer 5y ago
Why? There are undoubtedly wireless components to the infrastructure's network already. If everything could just beam to a single tower what's the issue?

So is this basically an alternative to lots of spread out WiFi routers? Like a university could get rid of all the routers in all the buildings and just have one or two of the "towers" Amazon would provide?

Why would anyone build something like that in Perl? I could only see it being done “just because”. Wasn’t Perl specifically designed for the quickly code it once and not change it again case?

I know right. An immediate fix shouldn’t cost anything, right? Just don’t send social security numbers to the browser.

Exactly. Thank you nosy media. This anti-press stuff started with Trump. Terrifying how authoritarian the right has become. Reporters, please continue “embarrassing” all states. The sane leaders and citizens will be thanking you.

I think the governor ought to resign. He’s taking something that is, ultimately, HIS fault and trying to pin it of course on “the media”. The SSN numbers were in the page; they were in the source code. “View source” is not decrypting a webp

“Hacked our system” — LOL. Nothing like our conservatives for a great laugh. What a moron.
