I would be more interested in the psychology of people spending money in these games. I played countless casual mobile games, but uninstalled all of them without spending a dime. It's probably out of principle, since I don't see a

Addicting behaviour is dangerous, but you can get addicted to TV shows just as well. Gaming tends to be more addictive because it actively engages your brain, compared with traditional entertainment (movies, theatre, concerts) which are sta

I tried setting up email filters based on subject and keywords, I currently have around 15-20 but it's a futile attempt, they keep changing everything, they've even changed the language. It really feels like I'm harassed by a

What's funny is that all these banks have mandatory anti-money laundering training courses that are enforced down the hierarchy to developers, IT staff and even call center operators, while most of the fraud is done at the top tier wit

Good point. I don’t see myself desecrating a historical monument (climbing the Pyramid of Keops) just to tick off a bucket list point, but I admit it does look ‘cool’ to a 15 year old.

I miss the days when I had iGoogle as the homepage, getting one line updates from a small number of sites via RSS. Today's solutions seem to cluttered for my needs.

VMWare is probably the better option if you're limited to a single machine. Performance is not amazing, especially if you're not running on an SSD, but still way better that Oracle VirtualBox for example. WSL can't be used fo

Interesting article. It can probably never be proven or disproven, due to the Problem of Other Minds [1], the idea that the only consciousness that is certain to exists is the self consciousness, and that I can never be certain that conscio

I wish physics would explore the theory of a simulated universe a bit more. What if these incomplete laws of physics are flaws with the simulation, maybe dark matter is just a hardcoded variable or a hotfix to an existing problem. Is this s

What I don't understand is why there doesn't seem to be any initiative in Western Europe to reintroduce large fauna like bears and wolves. It is very convenient indeed to hike through the Alps without any fear of bears, but in thi

My Iphone 6 is still going strong after 4 years. Replaced the screen myself twice and battery once, planning to do a second battery replacement. There's no killer feature in the other models that would determine me to upgrade.

I've had concerns in this area as well, as far as I know the team performed some stress tests and the network can do 100+ transactions per second, maybe more. There is also a small computation that the hardware needs to perform before

The stake in the network. Each transaction is validated by representatives whose votes are proportional to their stake in the network. An attacker would need to gain 50% of the network value to be able to do some damage.

The article doesn’t really mention mobile gaming which is a big factor in the attention economy, whether PC/console gamers like it or not. I think companies that handle mobile gaming properly will be at a serious advantage. I think Sup

I would name Nano, a very underrated cryptocurrency. Uses DPoS (Delegated Proof of Stake) instead of Proof of Work, so it doesn't do mining, also it has zero fees and minimal transaction times. I've ran a full node for some time t

Blizzard games are not necessarily known for their innovation, but for their level of polish, lore and communities behind them. I mean RPGs existed before Diablo, MMOs existed before WoW, Warcraft was not the first strategy game and so on.

I definitely agree with this, but with a small note: joining corporations in null sec can be challenging for new players, and can sometimes bring more stress than benefits. You can be attacked by campers anywhere (including high sec space)

Using the laptop monitor as a display for external sources (and the video input port) is a good idea, I'm not sure why nobody is implementing it these days. Are there any technical challenges to this, or is it a feature considered usel

On the contrary my mom (age 60+) finds G+ more intuitive and easier to use than Facebook, and the fact that there is less noise there is a positive for her. I think G+ could've had its place in the world if Google allowed it to be its

The only problem with this aproach is that the local exchange needs to do an initial purchase of Ethereum from foreign markets, which is a traceable transaction. Once they’ve traced the original ETH all transactions flowing out of it can be

What kind of games did you play if I may ask? I'm a casual gamer but at times I do lose grip on reality when playing certain games. I feel like understanding what causes the addictive behavior really helps. For instance most RPG titles

Not really familiar with player owned structures, but how would a small corporation be able to build a station? In high sec I assume that any other corp could just declare war and blow your stuff up. Doesn't the game have any mechanic
