I'm just amazed at how the theft of two belts and a shirt from Walmart escalated to the point where a house blew up. It's like something out of a comedy calamity movie. How common is escalation like this during the course of law e

So the scooters are a symptom of a deeper problem with the infrastructure of the city then? Maybe I wasn't clear enough, but I feel complaining about scooters taking up space on pavements is a distraction from solving the ACTUAL proble

What if the scooters aren't the problem and the cities inadequate infrastructure is?

I too was at Realtime Worlds, I seem to remember having to pay £20 to cash the £130 cheque because I had moved country. Stayed in the games industry for a bit after that, but got totally burned out (edit: and suffered another studio implodi

The price you pay for this 'peace' is quite high however.

Yes, it would be far different. If everyone had a gun here, things would be much worse. I'm quite glad I don't have to worry overly about stray bullets flying through my window and literal open warfare in the streets.

'Bimmer' I was aware of too, I didn't realise there was a distinction between the cars and bikes, I always assumed it was just regional differences!

Very, in the UK a "beamer" is a slang term for a BMW!

I think the joke was she tried to use the pamphlet as evidence and thought the pamphlet was personally addressed to her - "how silly!" I too had a hyper literal moment on this too, so I'm glad you asked. My conclusion is th

I wouldn't bother just for the camera. The Huawei P30 Pro,for example has an astonishing set of cameras on it - and I often use it as a companion to my "proper" camera. Though for me at least, the biggest thing that keeps me

A cursory glance indicates I am perfectly able to buy an umbrella from Ali express in Hong Kong - didn't go all the way through the purchase however. I do somewhat question the reliability of the source in this instance.

I'm not sure if it is still the case, or if my memory is lying to me, but I think AppAnnie did/does this.

Honestly, being expatriated, I can kind of see the value in this - unfortunately I doubt the people I actually want to communicate with regularly will be adopters of this. The tech savvy being too untrusting of it, and the unsavvy not sure

Perhaps I am misunderstanding the definition but why do the two have to be mutually exclusive? Is intellectualism intrinsically non-conformist? (genuinely asking)

That only works however if the parents or schools are capable of providing the required teaching, many (most?), are not. The games industry also goes to great lengths to obfusticate and hide the mechanics - it is truly predatory. I agree th

We had some mild debates at an old company on this matter (I don't think anyone was really ever pro 100% coverage, but we were under pressure to increase coverage in order to provide momentum and to emphasise that automated testing sho

I may be mistaken, but I think only in certain locations - I've certainly never been able to use it (maybe I just haven't found out how to turn it on)

I can check my watch without having to pull my phone out my pocket, depending on what you are doing that can make a huge difference. Practicality and functionality mean different things to do different people.

I wonder if they will continue the games industry trend of paying developers lower than they would in other industries or not...

Say for example you own a small store and you want to put a camera near the cash register, both to ensure employees don't steal from it and to capture the faces of anyone who may attempt a robbery (armed or otherwise) - this would be a

My wife and I just bought the xiaomi/ninebot one, they are around 15kg but fold down fairly nicely, I won't lie and say it's ideal, but it wasn't much of a challenge getting them in and out of our apartment (which, being

I'll bite - but first some caveats. I didn't follow the case and I'm only tangentially aware of it, I don't know who said what to whom and to how any of it is handled. I can't say with 100% certainty knowing the ful
