Ethereum is probably the most well-known of the ‘proof-of-stake’ cryptocurrencies, which don’t require massive resources in order to generate/validate transactions. It made the switch back in 2022 I think?

I imagine selling t-shirts would be against the Marxist/Leninist ideology of Lenny’s devs?

But given the volume of non-tankie instances now up and running, I’m sure some enterprising admins would be willing to give it a go.

..and as long as they’re ethically sourced (no sweatshops), high quality (materials and GSM), and reasonably priced (accounting for the other two factors) - I’m all for it!

Plot twist: the job is specifically for a transcriber/translator and requires high level of accuracy.

I could totally see this as being a thing back in the day before everyone was walking around with a supercomputer in their pocket capable of OCR.

He probably thinks it’s pronounced like this:

Tell that to my banking apps!

In terms of programming, absolutely some bloat there.

But I would wager a majority (or plurality) would actually be high(er) res media assets, embedded animations and video etc.

I can’t wait for the capital-G Gamers response to this..

..no matter how bad of a take I can think up, they always manage to out-do themselves and genuinely surprise me!

As for the workers, good for them - being on the strikes!

That’s what I’ve been experiencing as of late, too. Inbound, where the Gippy Hwy joins onto the Monash is slows to a crawl, then picks up until the Eastlink merge, where it slows to a crawl and continues until around Warrigal Rd where (thanks to the added lane?) it opens up again.

Now I’m to try and avoid the impact I have to either leave at before 6am or after 9:30am in order to have a somewhat decent (sub-45 minute) run into the office; but at least I’m lucky enough to have that flexibility!

It’s absolutely atrocious now; was hoping it might be temporary due to roadworks elsewhere, or bus replacements due to train works.

Makes my commute cancer, and I don’t even have the option to take public transport instead 😭

Legitimate question; what has happened to the Monash Freeway the last four or so weeks? Morning commutes are now ~75 minutes from like 6:30am onwards. Used to be a clean run up until like 7:15 or so.

For publisher bottom lines, it absolutely would be!

Basically anything not purchased this fiscal quarter may as well be non-existent to them - hence the push towards reoccurring monetisation.

Meanwhile I’m currently (slowly) playing through a massive backlog of games from the 2010s, so I’m good!

producing war machines that fight each other for territory to build more war machine factories until you can’t expand anymore for one reason or another.

As seen in the retro-documentary Z!

Just think of it as admission by omission.

This mental image popped into my head, after reading your comment. Now you get to enjoy it too, wAaHhh!

Ultra Street Fighter II: The Final Challengers

Instead of the ‘Taxed Enough Already’; the left needs the ‘Tax Elites Already’ movement!

Four seasons is a pretty good run for this type of show, IMO; at least if it’s as well planned and thought out as The Good Place (not to dissimilar concept) was!

I think I’m also only around ~2 seasons in, as I cancelled Prime a while back.. might have to fly the black flag and catch up on S03!

While it’s rare, they do exist. Primary example being the Porsche Taycan with its 2-speed transmission.

Additionally, any EV conversion of an ICE vehicle where the electric motor is placed in front of the drivetrain can also take advantage of a transmission.

It’s pretty common knowledge how these billionaires leverage the value of their stocks/assets as collateral against loans, in order to avoid having to pay capital gains tax.

Even though it’s not liquid cash, there really isn’t much to preclude them from taking out cash loans up to like 70-80% of their value if they ever wanted to (not that they would, as cash depreciates in value due to inflation).

So while you are correct that if they ever had to liquidate their shares the value would plummet significantly - unless something catastrophic happens and the value of those assets plunges well below an acceptable level to their financiers, it will never happen.

If you owe the bank a $100 and can’t pay it back, that’s your problem. If you owe the bank $100m, that’s their problem.

While I doubt they’d go as HAM as they did for the FF7 anniversary, which resulted in:

1. Advent Children
2. Before Crisis
3. Crisis Core
4. Dirge of Cerberus

..I do wonder what they mean by multiple projects?
