That's correct. Google Maps imagery is not satellite data, it's airplane photos.

Yeah that looks worse

If either of you opened the article, you would know you are correct. There is a picture in the article, the ad is a static banner next to the paused video.

Google probably only spent months researching this and they only have all the tracking and user studies to know what you said. Please ignore the obvious fact that you are looking at the screen when you are pausing or resuming a video, KingJalopy knows better and Google is just dumb. Nobody will see any of these ads and they are adding them in vain.

Do we even know he wanted to hurt Trump in the first place? He made no attempt at attacking him, he was just hiding with a weapon. Which might have been in order to protect Trump from assassins as far as we know. Did anyone ask?

May point is that it might be a mistake of the character, intended by the writers, not a mistake by the writers.

It's a common mistake, so isn't a character in a movie making it realistic? Wouldn't it be out of character for many characters to have perfect English?

Presumably because letting the cops know you are defenseless is not what they want to message.

Thanks, that explains it. So there is a pop-up when you try to play a game from the common pool and you have to choose who you are borrowing from?

Nobody is giving anybody permission any more than anyone else though. Account 6 creates a family and 5 accounts with a game join the family. There are now 5 copies of the game in the family pool. Account 6 can play and get banned. In this situation nobody even invited account 6 to the family.

Being able to evade a ban once is already a problem. Now you need to ban every cheater twice to really ban them.

My question is, when there are 5 people with 5 copies of a multiplayer game in the pool, and the 6th member without a copy gets banned, which of the other 5 members gets banned?

No one said they are unpaid or have zero qualifications either.

SteamVR is unstable on Linux even before you get to trying to launch a game. It's glitchy and frame rates are worse than on Windows even when you get it working, even for Linux native games.

And I'm using the Valve Index which is the best case scenario headset anyway.

Needed for VR games unfortunately

You live in a fantasy world if you think it's possible to catch 100% of mistakes internally. Even safety critical equipment with many layers of checks fails and kills people every now and then (medical equipment, bridges).

Neither do I, which is why I would love evidence to confirm my suspicions, so I can show it to others.

But I also try not to make claims that are merely suspicious, however likely.

I agree, but the argument here is "why won't they let you upload more data if they make money off of it". My point is that it doesn't apply here, because uploaded files is not the data that can make them money.

Great summary! Here is the other side of the debate:

• The backpack is overengineered and spares no expense in materials and durability, making it expensive. It is not overpriced. It may be unreasonably costly and not worth the purchase. The reason being it costs a lot to manufacture, not because it's overpriced.
• Linus was stupid in his "no warranty needed" claim, as most people won't (and shouldn't) take his word for it. Nevertheless, it is true his store always replaced items without issue and continues to do so, warranty or not. The customer experience is generally much better than the average store, where you may have to fight for your warranty claim only for it to be refused anyway. This is what he meant. If stores are not honoring warranties, and his store is accepting returns without a warranty anyway, then what's the piece of paper worth anyway? But people like the piece of mind it provides, they learned the lesson and are providing it now. Of course the warranty never mattered either way.
• I did buy the backpack. Months later I received a replacement set of zippers. There is nothing wrong with the original zippers, they just felt these ones are better and people who bought the backpack before the change should get them too. This has never happened to me with another purchase in my life, where the store decided to upgrade it for free and ship it to another continent for free, without me asking.
• Months later they discovered the material used for the backpack floor isn't what they wanted. So they offered me (and all purchasers) a full refund and additional store credit. Nobody noticed the issue, nobody asked for refunds. They discovered it and offered refunds proactively, even though it's a non-issue. Again never happen in my life with another purchase.
• Shitty for the employee to shit on GN. Commendable for Linus to stand by his employee publicly instead of blaming him.
• You are correct they had lot of quality issues. It is also worth mentioning their overhaul that happened after that, improved processed, slowed down upload cadence, and the formation of volunteer "beta tester" viewers who watch videos pre-release to find errors not found internally. Good for them to try to improve.
• Auctioning off the prototype cooler was quite egregious! As usual Linus took the heat on himself and never named the responsible employee who misallocated the cooler in their inventory.
• A third party investigation found the sexual harassment allegations unfounded. Due to the nature of this we might never know the details though.
• Linus invited Naomi to meet him in the meeting rooms of his hotel's lobby, which exist specifically for business meetings. She later untruthfully misrepresented it as an invite to his hotel room.
• In general, the transparency at which their business operates makes it very easy to point out flaws. I think it's better than the opaque businesses where this can't happen.
• I agree with these of your points I didn't address.

Hope this provides both sides for readers, and thanks again.

I confirmed you made it up and can't link a source.
