That must be why the homicide rates in the rest of the world are so much higher than the US.

Definitely shield dropping in smash bros melee. Seemed like an essentially impossibly difficult skill, and nearly made me stop playing because I don't have the time to invest into that kind of tech skills just to be competitive. But then I had my eureka moment when I learned that you can get your shield up and not roll if you just have the stick to the right or left when you press shield in the first place. After that it's just dropping the stick down one notch and you're dropping like no tomorrow. Bit of practice to get the timing down and now I've unlocked an entirely new dimension of my play.

Yet another reason I cannot stop playing melee. Every time I think I've figured that game out, it reveals an entirely new level of depth that was invisible before I had the tech to see it.

It's entirely unreasonable to assume that the average person has the time or knowledge necessary to read, comprehend and agree to every terms of service agreement shoved in their face. Legislation should reflect this fact, and there should be something similar to game and movie ratings that give an easy to understand summary of the agreement.

Exactly. Somewhere in the Funimation ToS, there is almost certainly a clause that absolves them of any obligation of keeping anything you bought available to you at all times. You never owned anything you bought from Funimation in the first place, so there is no obligation to fulfill for Crunchy Roll.

Then she should put and end to this as soon as she becomes aware of it, or it's the exact same thing as doing it herself.

If your business model relies on you being the only game in town forever, it's a really shitty business model.

Excellent point. Calling the current streaming landscape decentralized is like calling the current social media landscape decentralized, since you can choose between twitter, reddit, tiktok, or meta. It's unfortunate that it's unlikely that a properly decentralized network for video will exist, since the hosting costs are so astronomical.

Luckily the speed at which new counter-measures to anti-piracy technologies can be developed is much faster than any legislative body can ever hope to move. It's an impossible battle to win by enforcement alone. These companies need to realize that they need to provide actual value to retain customers and remain competitive. People aren't going to stand for a reskinned version of cable.

Commerce != currency

"Overall, we don't see JPEG-XL performing enough better than its closest competitors (like AVIF) to justify addition on that basis alone," said Martin Thomson, distinguished engineer at Mozilla, last year. "Similarly, its feature advancements don't distinguish it above the collection of formats that are already included in the platform."

So is this a legit take on the technology? Sounds like an expert in the field is pretty convinced that this file format isn't really worth it's weight. What does JXL give the web that other file formats don't?

If there were a modern version of this with a multi-touch trackpad I might actually consider this.

As a professional car reviewer, I couldn’t travel to test-drive interesting cars during the early pandemic, so I did the next best thing: went to the website Alibaba, and bought a Changli. After I paid $2,000 for shipping and customs, the car arrived at my doorstep months later in a massive cardboard box.

But if you’re hoping that you might be able to buy these cars like you do so many other Chinese-made gadgets, keep dreaming.

Well said. I will happily forgo some new features for a while if it means that the overall experience is more consistent.

Hindenburg is an investment firm that researches publicly-traded companies and shorts their stocks if they find sufficient evidence of investor fraud before releasing its report.

What a wild business plan. I'm amazed it's legal.

Vertical tabs are honestly one of the single most important features of a web browser for me these days. I honestly can't believe how much of a difference it makes.

In the end I recognize that I am not the expert on these matters in any way. I have no idea what a properly maintained aircraft looks like and pretty much have to trust the people who are paid to know these things. If you're uncomfortable with something, by all means mention it, but it's folly to assume you know better or can make even decent assumptions about the maintenance of a plane unless you are an aircraft mechanic.

On another note, why is open AI even called “open”?

It's because of the implication...

Yes but what you're not understanding is that living paycheque to paycheque is actually a sign of your moral degeneracy. The system is perfect and judges us all equally and fairly.

I hear this a lot, but I changed from google to DDG about a year ago and haven't even considered looking back. I can find everything I need quite easily and can only think of maybe a handful of times that I have had to resort to using a bang to try and find something using another search engine. I'm very curious what the difference is between my experience and that of others who have problems DDG.
