Any guide that said that was wrong. In-game skills help, but actual ability and knowledge matters a lot more. There were guides like https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=de1hwoFYA_k where people used brand new trial accounts to go get good kills.

But yes, they've made it a lot easier to just hop in without the need to train for anything.

Most people gate-camp to try to get actual kills, not empty capsules from people just trying to get from point A to point B. And there's plenty of counterplay for insta-warping bubble immunity (i.e. smart bombs). Gate camps are still very common.

I do know what she put there, though, since on the internet is is fairly trivial to see what was on a publicly available and commonly crawled website before it was removed.

And there was nothing that related to the killing, and nothing even tangentially related to the ban message. No 'final manifesto' or anything like that.

If you are curious, here is a mirror of her videos: http://www.dailymotion.com/yesilnasim/videos

which alliance were you in? :)

Why was her YouTube channel nuked after this happening? Seems weird and dystopian, even if what she did was obviously very wrong.

It can't detect when a crash is about to happen. The driver manually pushes the brakes there.

I have only worked tangentially with self-driving systems but in general they are very bad at dealing with stationary objects - this is why it can't see the center barrier.

This article describes the reason why radar and stationary objects don't mix: https://www.wired.com/story/tesla-autopilot-why-crash-radar/

I disagree. Its undoubtedly a political issue. When it was used by Obama, the media lauded it as a genius use of tech and proof that his campaign was 'hooked in' to modern tools. Trump is obviously less popular in certain circles, which is the only reason why this is now a huge issue.

It's strange to me how much emphasis they're putting on the tweet. Wasn't the spark that incensed China so much their decision to list Tibet as a country in the survey?

I think most of their peers are mature enough to realize that the poor (historic) management decisions of a company (which are now catching up to said company) are not reflective of the personality or character of the hundreds of thousands of employees performing various roles at said company.

I think you're reading a lot into the single response he got.

For anyone who doesn't want to click through, the reply said:

"It appears that this requires the other party to also have the app installed, right?"

There's nothing that could be even remotely translated to "why bother" or "meh" in the response. It's a simple question.

Yes, it's been proven that un-protected bike lanes such as those are very dangerous. There are more and more separators coming out (https://peopleforbikes.org/blog/a-new-generation-of-bike-lan...) to allow for protected bike lanes.

However, I do need to mention that when you choose to bike on the sidewalk, you're creating the same type of problem that cars that ignore traffic rules create for bikes. There's a reason why biking on the sidewalk is illegal in most places, and why bike lanes/roads exist.

And yet companies like AT&T and Comcast have been able to improve their infrastructure and launch fiber in more and more areas in the Bay Area (it's more than just San Francisco, you know!)

The cause is not NIMBYism, or any other negative traits you might try to tag on to people from the Bay, but rather, the existing telecom companies and their attempts to protect their pseudo-monopoly.

Additionally, just because someone is interested in Japanese candies, doesn't mean they like anime. The high-pitched annoying cartoon voice really turned me off right away, and it's not immediately obvious in the first 10 seconds (which is how long you have to watch before you can skip on YouTube) what it's for (after all, CrunchyRoll is a service for watching anime online, not ordering crunchy rolls.)

Thanks for this, the beginning where he quotes himself threw me off.

I was not aware that a single tweet by Mike Isaac, who has a tendency to be extremely snarky about everything, represented the feelings of everyone on Twitter.

Don't get me wrong, Isaac is right a lot, but he's also wrong a lot, and from what I can see: https://twitter.com/search?q=facebook%20acquires&src=typd the reception to this acquisition is mostly positive.

Facebook is nothing like a "real-time yearbook", though.

Weird, I find Discord's audio quality especially to be terrible.

And their lack of scalable monetization leads me worried about its longterm success as a platform - they are adding more cost-intensive features and continuing to try to support it with what is essentially a $5 monthly donation model.

That's basically how cooking works though... you adjust the spice level, particularly salt, after each step... to taste.

Works fine for me on Version 10.0.2 (12602.3.12.0.1) of Safari. Mobile Safari does not work.

I always enjoy installing and configuring complicated 3rd party software! This BetterTouchTool is way better than any out of the box "it just works" software...

I use uBlock, on Safari.

Can't read this site because of their adblocker detection.

Every other car model with an 'automatic driving' or 'autopilot' feature will begin to slow if you ignore prompts to put your hands on the wheel.

Tesla is the only car manufacturer that does not have a gradual emergency braking system implemented.

These guys should talk to startups like Turo and Getaround. Will be a huge help to the peer-to-peer carsharing companies.

And down vote arrows do not appear on aging posts.

My point is that salt also produces that effect. And sugar. And bitterness, for that matter. Literally every flavor is a biological indicator of nutrition.

MSG is no 'worse' than anything else.

This was a linked article from a comment in this thread, which contains quite a bit more discussion on the topic for those interested: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12068983

Pokemon Go is magnitudes larger than Ingress, their previous project, even though it's been plagued with more issues than Ingress and is arguably not as fully featured.

The difference?

Pokemon, which Nintendo owns.

If I was an investor, I'd view the potential for licensing the Nintendo IP (something Nintendo has been extremely reluctant to do in the past) as a huge potential growth vector for a struggling market segment (consoles, specifically Nintendo-made ones.)

I mean "decent" as in "It was better than the other options at the time" - Photobucket, etc.

It doesn't make snacks any harder to resist than salt.

From a food production standpoint, MSG is a popular additive because it offers an affordable way to enhance the flavor of a wide variety of savory foods. MSG can also be used to reduce the amount of sodium in foods - it contains 30 percent less sodium than table salt, but its flavor-boosting ability keeps low-sodium foods palatable.

All MSG does is add umami flavor, which your body responds favorably to as taste is an indicator of nutrition. So in some way, yes, MSG does make the 'snacks harder to resist', in the same way that literally any flavor makes food harder to resist.

Our body wants sweet/salty/umami/bitter flavors depending on current needs, and naturally gravitates towards foods with those flavors, as taste is a direct indicator of nutritional value.
