Weird to me that this was published under a pseudonym? Surely they've given enough details to be identifiable to CBC.

I just accepted I'm not getting the information now; but a whole bunch of small creators will basically only talk about their content and schedule on twitter. Like if something is going to be late, they are going on vacation or they are doing an extra stream or etc.

.. Isn't this how doom was more or less sold? It was a one of the classic ID software shareware games, where you'd get part 1 for free and then have to mail order further parts.

The skills required for a lot of game dev work are transferable to other industries (and paid better in other industries) with so many game layoffs/firings at once, they aren't all going to try and stay in the industry, and in some cases a lot of institutional knowledge can be lost.

The question still stands, this just reframes it. He had a majority, just not a filibusterer proof one, so why are the Republicans so willing to remove the filibusterer when it gets in there way and the Democrats not?

It being dangerous is extremely rare, and the extreme heat can give a pretty big endorphin rush.

I know there have been some sketchy instances or things that look like bribery (and may very well have been bribery) but in general I think people massively overstate the effects of bribery in politics. These people are crazy and believe the things they say, that's why the money put them into the position they are in. This does mean that they do principled things all the time, the foundation of their beliefs is just fucked and incomprehensible to normal people.

This is like saying they discovered how to pick a lock so deserve everything in whats locked by it.

I haven't read this article, but the one place machine learning is really really good, is narrowing down a really big solution space where false negatives and false positives are cheap. Frankly, I'm not sure how you'd go about training an AI to solve math problems, but if you could figure that out, it sounds roughly like it would fit the bill. You just need human verification as the final step, with the understanding that humans will rule out like 90% of the tries, but if you only need one success that's fine. As a real world example machine learning is routinely used in astronomy to narrow down candidate stars or galaxies from potentially millions of options to like 200 that can then undergo human review.

I suspect you are just a troll as others have said, but in the case you aren't;

It's been shown for all crimes, that degree of punishment doesn't really have much effect on deterrence. People tend to not know what the punishment for any given crime is, they tend to underestimate how likely they are to get caught, and when worrying about consequences they tend to worry about consequences they understand, like how their family or friends will react, not what living in prison for years will be like.

The justice system everywhere is fallible, protections for those in jail aren't only for the absolutely guilty, they are for the innocent who are incorrectly incarcerated.

Killing someone wont undue what they've done. As horrific as it is, the trauma inflicted on someone can't be undone. You are only putting more suffering into the world when you punish someone without tangible goals.

Other comments are wrong, its complicated residual structures on tv/movies.

You can probably throw together a pretty simple wordpress website without much knowledge. Just keep it mostly out of the box, maybe change the theme.

Have you ever worked on a game?

Here is a noy-very recent example.

As a Canadian, I do see reports of police violence in Canada, and I imagine I'm largely seeing the same stuff you are, so you've also likely seen some. With that said, police violence per interaction is a pretty low % everywhere (to be clear, it should be 0), but its like 10x higher in the US than other comparable countries, and the US has a huge population. Because of a combination of those factors I wouldn't be shocked if like 90-95% of police violence happening in English speaking countries is happening in the US.

I don't think this is really viable. Maybe some sort of minimum lifetime.

Its a meme reference to the Bear vs Man question going around.

The stuff was a good product imo, just horribly displayed/advertised. Now the brand for it is rightfully tarnished.

He wants the resources being spent on graphics to be redirected to engineers and game designers. There is a reasonable top end budget to put towards any given game, so it is at least mostly 0 sum.

On a free service sure, on something you are paying for? fuck off.
