I'm not sure about sites, but many of the old GB people have independent podcasts and streams. Check out Nextlander or The Jeff Gerstmann show. Some of their stuff goes up on YouTube as well.
YouTube is also a good place to find reviews, if you can find a few people who generally like the same stuff you do.
It sounds like you made some choices about how you engaged with android phones that you regretted. Maybe you weren't aware of the consequences of your choices, which I can see being a reason to favor apple (because they don't offer choices).
However, your experience could have been completely different. There are plenty of ways to use android's that don't involve nearly as much effort as you describe. Security updates can be nearly automatic, requiring only a restart. Root access isn't strictly necessary, but is choice you can make. And changing phones can be as easy as logging in to your Google account (nearly everything gets synced automatically).
There are still other people present who probably didn't want to be part of their sexual adventures. They were deriving pleasure from the presence of those people but the other people didn't consent to being in the presence of this behavior. That's wrong.
I'm making some assumptions, but I think as you increase the general quality level of your production lines that it becomes easier (not easy), to get the higher quality items. Maybe I missed it, but I don't think they stated what a higher quality intermediate product does (like a higher quality iron plate). My assumption is that anything produced with it has a boost to it's quality.
If this is true, then by thoughtfully focusing on where quality is being produced and how high quality items are being used that it should be possible to get reasonable chances at "epic" items.
My point about scaling was that once you have a large supply of epic mining drills, assemblers, labs, etc that it will be possible to achieve the same SPM with fewer machines operating, and therefore could build a higher SPM factory to achieve the same UPS as without quality. You're probably right that it will take awhile to get sufficient number of epic items to do this, but playtime for this game have never been small numbers.
I think it adds another thing to do as you progress to the end game and finish the tech tree. The infinite research was good, but this will allow people to scale their megabases even further before the UPS drop chokes it.
This is by far the most reasonable and mature conversation I've ever had on the internet. I wasn't even advocating for one side or the other, was honestly just trying to learn more. Thank you for being a good person.
Maybe not in the field of computer science, but silicon valley is home to a lot of hardware companies that are doing great research every year. Intel, Applied Materials, Lam Research, KLA-tencor, etc. That's just in semiconductors. There's also a ton of battery research in the area. Lots of consumer electronics too, particularly from Apple (I don't like their products, but they have been the driving force behind advancements which have helped other fields, such as O2 blood sensors and hearing aids), but there are many others as well.
Silicon valley is not just software. Maybe by market cap it is, but in terms of hours of labor I don't think software wins.
Agreed, subscriptions only make sense when there is an on-going service, like on-star (no idea if it is worth anything).
So if the digital assistant and driver assistance programs where getting service updates, then this would make sense. However, I'd say that driver assistance really shouldn't need a lot of updates if it was truly ready for the road.
The law can make the distinction between an overt act and inaction.
The language of the 14th seems to require a decision to act in a certain way. It does not appear to punish negligence.
Likewise, operating within the prescribed duties of the office could not be considered a violation. So diplomatic visits to an "enemy" would not trigger these clauses for example. Similarly, executing the laws as passed by congress would not be a violation, like sending aid to a foreign nation.
However, forming a militia to attack congress to prevent the transfer of power to the next president isn't part of the prescribed responsibilities of a president by the constitution.
I can only offer my own experience as evidence, but this is what I was advised to do (stop engaging by not selecting anything) and it worked. Prior to that I kept getting tons of stuff that I didn't want to see, but it stopped within a few days once I stopped engaging with it. And I agree, it is infuriating.
Because I got this advice from someone else, I guess it has worked for others too.
Indicating "not interested" shows engagement on your part. Therefore the algorithm provides you with more content like that so that you will engage more.
You can try blocking the channel, which has mixed results for the same reason, or closing youtube and staying away from it for a few hours on that account.
I'm not the person as you replied to, but I hope to introduce some additional information which might answer your question in case it was genuine.
The OP of this comment tree advocated for originalism ("based on their original intent") which up until about 20 years ago was generally considered incompatible with the responsibilities of a Judge. Typically, precedent is supposed to matter more than the laws original intent. Conservatives have been appointing originalists to the bench for a while now and it is leading to decisions like overturning Roe V. Wade. I can't do a good job explaining it in more detail, but you can search for "stare decisis vs originalism" to find more information. The results may be political so use your own intellectual filter.
It's possible that the OP didn't know that this is an originalists argument, but that's what the words currently state.
As of yet, AIs are not taking independent actions (arguably unlike the cars). So for now, I think the person using the information would be liable, just like if they copied and pasted information from a site. The individual is responsible for the actions they take, although they may not have the necessary intent to commit certain crimes.
Regarding the cars, it could be argued that the drivers are responsible regardless of the features of the car. But it could also be argued that the features malfunctioned, preventing the driver from safely operating the vehicle. The manufacturer will likely argue thst the driver was operating the car incorrectly, and they will spend millions manufacturing this evidence.
They address that at then end of the post. After all, the same developer is working on both projects.
Basic point is thwt they are targeting different audiences, but there will also be engine improvements. I'm hope that means SE just gets better because of these changes.
Yes it is spite. If they can destroy everything, then whatever small advantage they have will be better then everything else.
Conservativism does not want change, growth, or improvement. It is inherently static and anything which causes improvement is a threat to it's existence.
