Or as the kids call it, "snow".

And by kids I mean old people.

People still use the top-40 echo chamber to tell them what to listen to, details at eleven.

They need netflix for the same reason.

No, that's critical, valuable, private information! You doxxed yourself! You're guilty of putting someone's safety at risk! You'll be hearing from your lawyers!

FUCKING
HATE
THIS SHIT
Fuck these devs
Fuck every course or book that teaches this
Fuck your hipshit GUI rot

Zero is an absolute and should be reserved for logistic impossibilities or exaggerations.

"Pathetic number of sales" and "Sony will make money" can be simultaneously true.

Especially when it costs shit to do, mostly in the form of "it's shiny!" marketing.

> it doesn't mean it isn't a valid product
It's a valid product.
It's a valid music player.
China says it's about $0.10 to add such function to your consumer electronic.

The product's capabilities decide whether it's $1200 valid, and they're delivering three-figure at best.

This bot was only semi-autonomous, it was placed and written and instructed all very specifically. It's hard to consider these events to be unowned.

Today's is easy to consider. But let me play Devil's advocate:

Is the butterfly responsible for the tornado that happens 20 years later?

Then there's a line somewhere and we don't know where it is.

Paying someone to build a laptop. Boom, the world now has two brand new laptops. Well, one's refurbished.

GGP may have some merit if such events manage to cause trickle down, at least. But the prole workers exist to shuttle money upwards (job exists because overhead's less than profit) so ultimately the re-purchase event is probably a funnel upwards, not down.

Toshiba and HP and Lenovo CEOs depend on these people.

You won't see anyone whining about their rights or "it's MY information!" or intellectual property or "we need to change (git) policy!" here.

Quarantine or bust.

> who write angry tirades
lol.

Someone's earlier comment pointed out they don't go through the thermal cycles a laptop does. "My router has probably seen three." or such.

TFA says the fitting was already being researched for fuel efficiency reasons, so that may throw a bone to the "what will it cost" crowd, results pending.

If he's getting a grip on this stuff at an early age, that's all well and good, but there's no salary for professional urination and no one recognizes being potty-trained as a talent, not after the early years.

Writers could drum up a premise (plot involving alien invasion?) for Tic-Tac-Toe, but it's icing that developers /might/ pay for. You could drum up a well-balanced multi-currency system for Street Fighter (not facetious; the system would improve the game) but it'll never be center-stage or priority.

While I wish the mechanics and foundational designs of many games would consult better minds (gaming at large still hasn't outgrown single-purpose "crafting" hallways that are pointless) there's just no market for something so saturated. The "many games" I speak of? They usually at least collaborate and use what my first line referred to: A sufficient level of general competence that results in adequate mechanics/systems in the game.

A "good idea for a game" is pretty worthless. If you've ever been to a con or kickstarter there's a million dreamers hawking their card game or tabletop of "unique and innovative" design/mechanics.

There's probably a reddit for them. I don't do leddit (or any socnet) but it's a functional place on many boards, I'm sure.

Challenge accepted.

I blame this one on lawyers being indulged by a trigger-happy legal system.

Someone team up with me, we'll stage an assault (the real sticks-and-stones kind) on the steps of a stock exchange or something and sue the theat- I mean bank. We'll draw lots for who has to get shot.

OT: People who insist they were harmed by colored lights on a square screen are victimplay demagogues. I don't care how many bad movies have shown otherwise, a computer can't "EMP your brain" or explode with the force of a grenade, it just sits there and glows.
