I love Star Wars for its stories, but I don't think a SW reskin is that interesting. There are a few places where I could see it maybe working because the SW setting could justify additional gameplay elements (city - > star system builders with a heavy automation and trade components, sekiro-like).

Instead we need SW games that tell their own stories well in a modern format. That does not mean a KOTOR remake. The bioware format had its time, but a remake in the same style is going to feel dated by the time it comes out.

Not a lawyer, but first sale doctrine seems to apply to copyrights, not goods. Is there another version?

Also, I am not defending the practice discussed in the article. I disagree with it completely, but I have a genuine interest in the law generally as a hobby.

I love the metric system and think we should all use it, but 12 (inches in a foot) and 16 (ounces in a pound) both have more factors than 10.

I still think metric is the best system, but I wish our ancestors had used base 12 counting so we could all use a base 12 metric system and everyone's life would be better.

Sure, there are places where they can make sense. I didn't say that there should be no sunset clauses, just that not all laws should automatically sunset.

Nah, we all agree that murder is bad and should always be illegal. We don't need to sunset that one.

There's obviously a practical approach between "all laws must sunset" and "laws never expire or change."

They do great work, but they don't market and promote their successes well enough. I would prefer a society that favors humility more and therefore appreciate this administration's style, but it seems that a lack of hubris is now considered a fault in the public eye, on both sides of the aisle.

You're implying that the double slit experiment is unresolved. What do you mean by that?

Edit: I'd also be interested to read the articles about entropy and time. Could you link one please?

While it's true that a photon doesn't see time pass, an electron does and they exhibit the same behavior in the double slit experiment. I don't see how the particles perception of time explains the results.

I get your point, but the consumer version may not need to be as complex as an electron microscope. Additionally, there will be much more demand for these than electron microscopes. I'm speculating here, but both of these factors together could reduce the price significantly.

I'm sure pharmacy has some crazy value density, but it's hards to put accurate values on their products because of insurance.

The boxes of wafers I was talking about is roughly 1.5 ft cubed. The fabs will have hundreds of these boxes moving around by robots at any one time.

Depending on price, consumers may be able to afford multiples. They could in theory use them until no space remains. This would be be fine for any data storage that people want, but obvious wouldn't be good as your c drive.

It is possible to make glass and ceramics that are resistant to shattering from fair hard impacts. I don't know if that can be employed here, but there are other ways to deal with the problem.

Additionally, if 100,000 TB is something that people can carry by hand, then it is also possible to back up those drives relatively easily (relative to that technology).

Lastly, current silicon fabs have boxes of wafers that at the final stages can exceed $1M in the retail value. They have robots that handle those. If the 100,000 TB is worth something close to that, then a human will not be carrying it.

Well if wives are fair game, the Thomas's are going to have a rough time.

I feel really bad for anyone who pre-orders this. It probably means they don't know of its development history.

Hopefully it's great, but this is definitely one that I want to see in action before spending anything on it.

All government spending uses public money. Either through taxes or borrowing (creating money).

What do you think the purpose of a government is? Anyone who supports democracy will tell you it is for the benefit of the public.

The icky thing about the relief checks is that Trump was taking credit for something he didn't do. Even kindergarteners don't like that.

This was something Biden accomplished by directing the efforts of the executive branch. This was a campaign promise, and a long time career goal of his. He's a politician, he's allowed to explain how he used the lawful actions of the government to benefit the public. In fact, that's what politicians in the executive branch are supposed to do, it's their job.

I think this is a function that should be delegated to an app, so that users can choose from a variety of options. Having it built in would restrict that choice. Kind of like keyboards.

The original point wasnt that they should magically be granted citizen ship for slipping through the cracks, but rather but rather that there should be a legal process or criteria for granting citizen ship in these situations. Maybe some basic criteria could be living, working (if able), and paying taxes for 10 years and no felonies. I'm sure there are reasons to grant exceptions and there probably need to be some additional limitations, but that could be the basic idea.

I used to use chrome's tab groups, they were definitely helpful. Until I wanted to organize things. Tab Groups lacks a lot of the features of the extensions I'm suggesting. I spent lots of time looking for feature rich options in Chrome before ultimately switching to Firefox because it was simply better.

Chrome's session/history manager also isn't great, so if I had multiple windows open I had to be careful about how I closed them, otherwise I could easily lose a lot of my tabs. This also wasn't possible with forced shutdowns.

No court has ever interpreted any right granted by the constitution as absolutely as you believe. All rights have limits.

Well on your personal Firefox try Simple Tab Groups and Tree Style Tabs.

I can't use chrome because it doesn't have these extensions.
