I was talking about the players. Studios will have no choice but to support it because gamers will expect it. Just like Sony has been forced to accept cross-play in Fortnite. All it takes is one big game with NFT support to start it.

No, it’s overthinking. The only thing that game developers need to solve is what item to give in return when a player imports something from another game. Could be you import armor and get a pink hat or a banana. It doesn’t need to be the s

Sunk cost fallacy. If someone invested money into a game they might be reluctant to switch to a different game. But what if they can just take their investment with them and import it in another game. Then spend more in the new game.

You’re overthinking it. Nft is a proof of ownership. So you import your Call of Duty armor in Battlefield and you get an equivalent ingame armor. There doesn’t need to be any agreement. The game just needs to know which nft is equivalent

Your 30 year old fridge is also very energy inefficient compared to newer ones.

Well yes, that’s exactly my point. I _want_ to be able to reuse crappy passwords because just typing a password is still simpler than dealing with password managers.

For the vast majority of websites password rules are unnecessary. I only care about icloud and gmail, amazon and paypal. I don’t care if my reddit account is “hacked”. Or HN. Or random webshops or whatever. I hate being forced to use stron

Only 13 % of Chinese emissions are caused by production for other countries. That 13 % isn’t just the West but the whole world. > "Despite the large total of CO2 imports and exports, US emissions are only 6% higher and Chinese emiss

My country doesn’t make that distinction. There was a year inbetween infections.

Pfizer. Covid in April 2020. One of my housemates infected me. Vaccines in summer 2021. Second time covid two months after vaccine. My brother, also Pfizer vaccinated, infected me. First time was probably the original strain and second

Anecdotal: Had covid twice. No heart complaints. Had two vaccine shots. Both times, 10 days after the shot, my heart hurt like hell. Really painful and scary experience. It lasted a couple days and back to normal.

iPad Safari should count as desktop Safari in those statistics. They are basically the same since last year.

Lets say you’re a Fortnite competitor. To lure people to your game you let them import their Fortnite weapons or clothes and convert them to your game equivalent.

Other games or apps can import your ship.

A common narrative but also wrong. Even when we take into account the externalized pollution the US and EU still have lower emissions compared to 30 years ago. 87 % of China’s emissions is caused by their own needs. 13 % for playing factor

China is gonna build 150 reactors in 15 years for 440 billion dollar. They lack the defeatist attitude common in the West and it shows.

The crypto hate here is ridiculous. Every thread about crypto is the dropbox thread x 10. Unless you want to live in a dictatorship where the government dictates what is and isn’t a useful use of energy, the constant bitcoin electricity usa

Metal isn’t just a graphics api but also becoming a CUDA alternative. It’s a very important api for Apple.

Is there a (theoretical) possibility of having portable MRI scanners someday? The size of a big suitcase or maybe even something like the tricorder in Star Trek. Like how we have portable ultrasound. https://www.ultrasoundportabl

Is there a book where I can read more about this?

I don't think that's important. The media does. Only when a white police officer mistreats or shoots a black person is the media eager to report it, emphasizing the race of everyone involved. When the opposite happens coverage isn

You don't seem to grasp what I'm saying. This professor is part of the elite. He has elite friends, elite interests, elite ideas about society. It's not because he experienced racism that he suddenly has the same worldview as

I have read a lot of research about racism and I can only conclude that the media is not painting an accurate picture about it. If you want to challenge your views you could read some of Thomas Sowell’s work or from other black conservative

No doubt that still happens but I don’t know how common that is? There is a lot of race-baiting going on in the press which may give a skewed perspective of reality. For example, research shows that white police officers aren’t more likely
