  • Step 1: politicians must pay for their own legal troubles

    Step 2: “The Association of Totally Real Concerned Citizens” starts filing lawsuits across the country

    Step 3: any non-billionaire elected to a political office is bankrupted within a year

    Step 4: surprised yellow rodent face

    (Bonus step 5: JB Pritzker becomes president and solves world hunger with deep dish pizza)

    Edit: line breaks

  • Maybe this research and language is intended to suggest that there is a point past which “confusingly and unintuitively designed” strongly resembles “intentionally deceiving”? We’re probably not going to get internal emails saying “make it complicated so that we can collect users’ data”.

    Also, researchers don’t really control how university press departments write up their results. Even less so when they’re interviewed by media.

    Addendum: Apple takes great pride in UI and user-centered design, and lately they have been highlighting privacy as a differentiator from Android. Maybe they just dropped the ball, maybe people don’t care, maybe people aren’t very bright. Still, some people have questions:)

  • I thought have bought this was internet fake. It’s not:

    Uraba lugens is nicknamed the mad hatterpillar because of its distinctive exoskeletal feature.[4] Every time it sheds the head portion of its exoskeleton, the exoskeleton stays attached to its body. Over time, developing through its life span, the head grows bigger and sheds increasingly larger exoskeleton shells, which build upon each other.[5]

  • The authors wrote that they were surprised too and went back to talk to the students and apparently there was an unwritten rule that you don’t date the ex of the new partner of your ex. So if Bob and Alice split up and Alice starts dating Ben, then Bob should not date Ben’s ex Alison.

  • Very much agree with the first two paragraphs, very much disagree with the third paragraph. “Exceptionally bad”?! Compared to what? I’d say that one or two open world games of the last ten years really stand out but Cyberpunk is comparable to the average. And I would guess it’s quite enjoyable if you already enjoy the cyberpunk genre. Anecdotally, the side quests and side characters seem to elicit very divergent appreciations.

  • Was that about the racism or about the cartoonish levels of lunacy and corruption? We got the racism covered and I’m sure we will give the rest a decent try soon. I, for one, look forward to the German regional and federal elections this year and next. I’m sure nothing bad will happen.

  • “Flood the zone with shit.” Steve Bannon 2018. I’d guess Trump does it instinctually but I wouldn’t be surprised if some people are quite intentional about it. Otoh, Musk has a history of tweeting wacky stuff you distract from bad news about one of his companies.

  • 5 pages?!??! In my discipline, we spend five pages just kissing reviewer 2’s behind and begging people to take an interest. Then we spend 20 pages citing everyone and their adviser and their adviser’s second cousin on the off chance that they’re married to reviewer 2. Then you get a copy-paste of the documentation of one of the five datasets that everyone uses.
