I contributed $35 in the original Kickstarter because I love space sims and the genre was completely dead at that time. I doubt the game will ever come out at this point but I'm not going to sweat wasting $35 more than ten years ago.
We had a place sort of like this in my hometown. They were only open for lunch on weekdays and you could show up and get a takeout box of whatever they chose to cook that day for a fixed price.
Even worse the victim's daughter provided a description of the intruder when she called 911 (a woman wearing a red hoodie). When the cop saw a woman wearing a red hoodie trying to stab a black man in his underwear he chose to shoot the black man in his underwear.
The N900 was phenomenal for its time. One of the best smartphones ever made. If you just wanted to use it as a smartphone you could but if you wanted to dig deeper it was such a versatile and capable device.
I was an Audible subscriber for like five years when they started spamming my notifications with ads. I unsubscribed on the spot and haven't looked back. I couldn't believe it, I had probably given them $1000 by that point but apparently that wasn't good enough. Even if you give a company a significant amount of money they'll still do everything they can to squeeze even more money out of you.
I've been dreaming of a good "convergence" device that I can use as a phone but also dock and use as a PC for probably a decade at this point. I've kind of lost hope, it might happen some day but I doubt any time soon.
Financial news headlines have been like that forever. They feel like they have to attribute the drop to something so they just come up with whatever sounds plausible. It doesn't even matter that they're often contradictory, like in a week I wouldn't be surprised if I saw the headline "Nasdaq 100 makes huge gains on AI's booming future."
>A game can take a very very long time. Turns might even take days or weeks on particularly elaborate ones. Thus there is a major time commitment during which you must leave the game out and setup for an extended period of time.
The Campaign for North Africa is probably the most extreme example of this.
The three CEO situation was supposed to be temporary to get them to a buyout. The buyouts fell through and Paramount is now in a pretty terrible position.
On release and for a few years after installing Linux was fully supported (Yellow Dog was probably the most popular distro). After George Hotz demonstrated a jailbreak that would have made piracy possible Sony released an update that permanently disabled the ability to install or run Linux.
Insurance companies in California by law cannot use future predictions to set rates today. If they think there is a higher risk of fire losses in the future there's nothing they can do about it.
Dating app scams are common in poorer countries that have a lot of international tourism (Colombia, Vietnam, etc). Women will match with men, suggest they go to a bar/restaurant/whatever they have an agreement with, ring up an enormous tab that the man pays for, then leave.
When I was learning Green Day's "Longview" on bass I thought it was hilarious that if I wanted to play it album accurate I would have to play "out of tune." When they recorded the album they didn't have an electric tuner and just tuned to each other.
>We hear nothing in that origin myth about the relationship that AI has to industrialization or to capitalism or to these colonial legacies of reserving reason for only certain kinds of people and certain kinds of thinking.
It must be exhausting thinking like this all the time.
I specifically pursued a master of computer science in data science to cover all of my bases. If I'm applying to a job where I want to highlight the focus in data science I can but I don't need to. My diploma just says "master of computer science" on it and in some job applications that's what I want it to be.
Wow, I thought it was bad when I was in school and they tried pushing credit cards we didn't need on us. Now colleges are partnering with sportsbooks? That's terrible.
>Per a January 9 email, the Greyglers, an affinity group for people over 40, is changing its name because not all people over 40 have gray hair, thus constituting lack of “inclusivity” (Google has hired an external consultant to rename the group).
I doubt firing the CEO will do much at this point, the rot is institutional.
I would give anything to just be normal. My inability to navigate social situations has had an enormous negative impact on my life going back all the way to grade school.
