   I have heard that the latest Counter Strike servers do player occlusion calculations on the server so that cheaters can't see through walls. If you can't see an enemy, than the server won't even send your client their positio

   Modern multiplayer games already do the "world model" calculations on the server, with clients simply rendering the little data they have.

   Stadia's launch seems troubled. I'm expecting pivots as they search for their audience. It seems like a logical step for mobile gaming, but taken a bit too far. I think games could just be "stadiafied" the way many apps

   Drop shipping has been the bane of my online shopping experience. Products are often not as advertised and returns can be a huge hassle, so it has become a word I avoid. How do you plan to raise confidence for consumers in this practice?

   Google definitely says that they blacklist dangerous and deceptive sites. I don't think anyone would have a problem with that, though.

   This is sadly not true in North America. If a jewellery store wants to stay GIA certified and get all the paperwork about being conflict-free, they need to buy their diamonds at a much higher price.

    How odd! GitHub Mobile used to exist, and was abandoned. PocketHub is the continuation of that old project: https://github.com/pockethub/PocketHub

    This is huge news.

    $35 million seems like a pretty small investment round for a company that apparently was once valuing itself at over $1.3 Billion.

    Has anyone here tried or used the app? Looka seems to requires users to log in to try out a demo. I have a feeling the rebrand isn't the real issue here.

    This is horrifying and awesome.

    I appreciate and have used a few of the export templates, and they're great! I have even created my own based on an existing one. The process isn't so bad.

    I would love to see the in-editor documentation improved. Maybe have in-editor tutorials as well, or a book? That would be awesome. I would also like to see a set of templates that can be used to actually develop a commercial or finished ga

    I would prefer if I didn't have to do that. Somehow other apps don't, and this was the first time I had to unblock something.

    Interesting. I didn't know that using "Open" was any different than double clicking. Thanks for the tip.

    I decided to give it a try, and it's almost a 100MB to download. Due to being unsigned, Mac OSX blocked running this web app. Why isn't there a demo online that I can try in my web browser? Isn't this supposed to be a simple

    You can top up using a 120v wall outlet. People using Tesla cars report around 40-50 km for an 8 hour charge.

    May I ask why you wouldn't be able to charge it at home? It is my understanding that most people simply charge their electric cars overnight, much like their phones.

    In response to your 1) may I recommend Counter Strike's Danger Zone mode? It has multiple respawns as long as your partner is still alive, and you can respawn anywhere you want on the map.

    What other remote development environments exist? I can only think of cloud9.
