My impression is that SV and ycombinator types are completely unwilling, or ambivalent to this problem, and mainly because these grey market like-bots only make their platforms look more popular, and give content creators a pay-to-win proce

I think it's funny that Fortnite will probably cause the inevitable unraveling of UE4, as yet another game engine without baked-in anti-cheat. Cheating in Fortnite is practically unheard of at this point. But it won't be long unti

NVIDIA GameWorks is probably the most cancerous thing to happen to the gaming industry. Partnering with UE4 to fuck games for AMD at the engine level :(

When the level of discourse surrounding "blockchain technologies" boils down to the following, it makes you wonder how long it is until you wake up to find the bubble has popped: "Someone who wants to own a % of a real estate

Bitcoin isn't the internet of money, it is an internet for money. With this distinction in mind, it would be foolish to think that the first cryptocurrency would be the last. It took many implementations and iterations of wide ar

Looks good on paper, and surprisingly bloat-free stock OS (just the usual Windows 10 crapware), but even with the highest bin kit, my Carbon Gen5 gets hot to the point of being uncomfortable to handle, and starts stuttering with just 5-6 Ch

This is a really cool project. The hardest part of DJing is knowing which set of songs have similar sonic profiles, and would mix well together. I would love to see this put to use in personal music collections, or in a Traktor playlist, an

Why isn't X working on blockchain technology? Maybe instead of asking this, we should ask the cryptocurrency enthusiasts what area of technology won't be dropped-and-replaced by blockchains, because so far it seems apparently ap
