This article just seems weird, like someone did a poor translation of a comment.
First of all, it feels weird that Nintendo would announce a new console, less than one year away from release, as an aside in discussion about Switch game schedules.
Second, Nintendo always likes to hype up their current gen console as a budget option when they release the next generation. They even released the Wii Mini and GBA Mico after their successor consoles. No one expects Nintendo to keep releasing AAA games for a last gen console, but saying that the Switch will stop getting more games feels like a narrative that they would not emphasize. Do they mean they will not develop any more games, not publish them, or not allow third parties to publish new games (no more cartridges or new eShop titles)?
Nadella said Google's dominance was due to agreements that made it the default browser on smartphones and computers.
Google gained dominance in the early 2000s when the dominant platform was the smart phone Windows computer, which had a default browser of Google Chrome Internet Explorer and a default search engine of Google MSN search.
What did the prosecutor do wrong? They proved that he was a violent criminal and a danger to society. The original sentencing would have him in jail until at least 2029 (if he did not fuck up, reoffend in prison, and serve the full 30) and put him on the sex offender registry (which worked as well as expected).
It was a judge that chose to suspend part of the original sentence. It was a prison system that failed to rehabilitate him. It was a parole board that decided that time served was long enough.
A lot of people (and a lot of systems) fucked up to let a violent individual roam the streets, but I feel like the prosecutor did their job to the best extent that could be expected.
The airlines are right, pilots should not have to pick between flying a plane that they don't think is safe and having to authorizing refunds for passengers… they should be able to call an airline safety whistle blower line so that an independent safety officer can take a look and ground the airline for not maintaining their airplanes.
Seriously, how can airlines argue against it? They are saying that they will pressure pilots to fly death traps? I think airlines would be ashamed to have airplanes in such condition.
There is almost a thought pattern under which his proposal makes sense: if you cut taxes, families will have more money, day cares will be able to charge more, and will be able to hire more staff. I assume that the tax cut he is proposing is a general income tax cut and not an increase to child tax credit for very young children, so the tax cut will cost the government a lot of revenue but a small portion of it will go to the families it is supposed to help (this can either be a good or bad side effect, depending on your views on issues like taxation, social services, etc).
It primarily falls apart because the people who are in most need of help paying for child care (and tend to be most dependent on it) are lower income people. They are also the people paying the least income tax, so they are even less likely to get any (real) money from an income tax cut.
The average amount of food I buy should be, on average, the same as the amount of food I consume, but the amount of food purchased during a given shopping trip varies, especially in the amount spent on nonperishables. I am likely to buy a lot of a given item, store the extras for when I need them, and buy more when I run out.
If I am wandering around the store, I may see an item (like a snack) that I am interested in trying and pick some up. In doing so, I am slightly delaying the next time I need to buy more, but it is an overall gain for the store since they are getting my money earlier and the future stock up trip may be from a different store.
Linux, as an OS, is much more feature rich. What it lacks is applications. There are many applications out there that are only available for Windows or OSX and there is no Linux app to do the same thing (or the Linux app is very far behind in quality). The inverse (a Linux only app) is rarely true, except for applications that are niche or heavily rely on an OS feature that does not have a close equivalent on Windows.
Plus, just about every piece of (consumer) hardware that can be connected to a computer has a Windows driver.
Another rerelease, so I can safely skip it. Capcom keeps remastering and releasing the games over and over. How many versions of the original trilogy are there? 4 or 5? GBA, DS, Wii, Mobile and PC, and Switch? At least they are not adding new cases (except on the first GBA to DS port).
It is nice that Dual Destinies and Spirits of Justice might get an English language physical release via this compilation.
On average, whether over a large enough population or a long enough time, people are living better and better.
Literacy rates are improving and information is becoming easier to access.
Medicine is always innovating. Medical care is becoming more and more available. Many deadly diseases are either wiped out or easily treatable.
For much (most?) of the world, nutritious food, clean water, and sanitation is available (if not always affordable).
Sure, some where in the world there is natural disaster, but we are constantly getting better at predicting them and buildings are being built to better handle them. There is still violence and unjust governments, but both are trending down.
That is not to say that we cannot do much much better nor that there are not easy things that we could do to improve. It is likely that your current situation has gotten worse in some way or another. But we are averaging ten steps forward for every step back (no matter how big and unnecessary that step back is).
They could have definitely done more to actually reward sustainability. The only reward for it (so far) is that every year since you bought your phone, they give you 2€ off of your next purchase. Also, they give you a guaranteed 2€ trade in credit for your old Fairphone (not usable on the phone you are trading in for). Those incentives seem to be about increasing your spending rather than actually doing any sustainability.
I would give them the benefit of the doubt and hope that the program is well intentioned, but it is very badly executed if it is.
So happy that some years ago we shut down the "grass roots" campaign for our city to host the Olympics. Supposedly, it was demanded by the masses, but the only people who expressed any demand for it were real estate moguls and sports arena owners.
Part of his bad ass reputation is his look. He is a big, muscular man with a shaved head and goatee (which he has shaved off). He has visible tattoos (the zip code of the town he was mayor of and the dates of every murder that occurred during his tenure as mayor). He is known for being very open and blunt during some of his speeches and lack of fashion sense (he spoke at a formal press conference in athletic clothing).
He gained visibility on a national level after the 2020 presidential elections. As lieutenant governor of Pennsylvania (Vice President of the state), he argued against anyone who alleged that Donald Trump won the state or that the election was rigged in some way.
After that, he ran for US Senate and won a close election against celebrity talkshow host Dr. Oz. Fetterman ran as a populist candidate, campaigning on a platform of solving the problems facing normal people.
I tried it for the first time a few months ago. It was bad. The in-game tutorial does not cover half of it and the game play that I could figure out was super shallow. I could probably look up third party getting started guides, but I did not think it was worth the bother.
Instead Spielberg put a bunch of lame movie references in, because he's too senile to understand the game references.
Have not seen the movie, but that sounds like Spielberg nailed the tone of the novel. The book reads like a thinly veiled essay by an aging Gen X geek about how pop culture peaked during the authors childhood and the world would be perfect if we could go back to the 80s.
It is nice of them to add something new, but I am a bit disappointed by the NSO emulated game library. There are still many big name first party titles missing and I would not mind paying a bit more for a much more robust library.
It is a state school. The board of trustees are state employees. It seems that they don't have any sort of tenure or term length. They got let go like any other at-will employee.
