Except the refrain about all games being inherently political is found throughout the SJW gaming contingent. What's more, when a developer recently said that the game was not politcally charged or meant to lecture the player, said contingent immediately started bitching about it.

Having children does not mean that the population is increasing. People do seem to continue to insist on dying and, as long as this continues, we need a steady stream of children to maintain the population at the current level or even a slightly lower one.
There is no voice for the video game industry. There are developers, sellers, publishers... there may even be some lobbying groups. But how the hell can the entirety of an industry make any such claim?
Hint: They don't and can't. Someone is speaking out his/her ass.
It depends on the platform too. iOS and Android both have a rich set of libraries that cover a lot of functionality. There really is little benefit to trying to commonize code between them, since most of what you are doing is putting a UI on top of a specific configuration of library functionality. If you try to commonize there, most of your effort ends up being spent on duplicating functionality already available in the platform libraries just so you can have a common implementation. For more bare bones embedded platforms though, it can be worth it.
Over decades of programming I've found the real enemy of stable and good code is complexity. The truth is that writing the code as simply as you can for two platforms is always going to be less complex (In many respects) than writing code that is shared but has to adapt for the needs to many platforms...
The good thing about common code: It behaves the same.
The bad thing about common code: It behaves the same.
I've dealt with a lot of bugs where the programmer didn't use the common functionality, they simply copy-pasted or hard coded. Like you got 100 reports, 95 use the correct header/footer template and 5 simply copy-pasted from another report. Looks right until somebody modifies the template and suddenly those 5 reports are off but unless you manually go in and see okay report 1 looks good, report 2 looks good, report 3 looks good... you miss it. Another classic is hard coding a set of values and setting everything else to invalid/unknown when there's a place you're supposed to get the list of valid values from, it was 1, 2 and 3 when the code was written but it's 1, 2, 3 and 4 now so you just mangled good data. Or we fixed one faulty lookup that lacked some condition or boundary check and it turns out there's ten other places in the code we have the same faulty lookup.
Sure, there are a few times when I've found the Swiss army knife from hell where I'm like hell no, let's split this up into a toolbox where the hammer is actually a hammer, the saw is a saw, the screwdriver is a screwdriver and so on. But I dare say those are the exceptions, for the most part consistency and a systematic organization that doesn't duplicate functionality is good, even across platforms. I'd rather deal with one feature complete library than five lightweight/DIY solutions that break down the moment you step outside their assumed use case.
One of the most costly things you end up with dead ends, you've invested a ton in a particular approach / architecture / library / platform / technology but it's reached its limits and now you have to take a huge cost in backtracking and re-implementing just to get back to where you were before you can make progress again. It's one of the reasons I'm changing jobs now, we're ripping out complex, powerful tools and highly optimized code replacing it with new languages and frameworks that are more generic because staffing is easier. For me it feels like doing surgery with boxing gloves, good luck making that work well. Ah well not my problem anymore...
If "abusing human rights" is the standard, then there would be almost no business for Google. Cherry-picking out one particular villain without applying the implicit principal universally is an act in the demented melange of white guilt, naivete, and unchecked vanity.
News Flash: The world will not be as idyllic as you THINK Palo Alto is and applying your honed principal of "abusing human rights" globally (as ethics should be imposed if they are truly held) would quickly reduce what is arguably the most important internet company to nothingness.
Imagine every organization that can be argued to have abused human rights to lose access to GMail, Google Docs, Google Search, Google News, Cloud Storage, Android OS, etc. Would those organizations suddenly change their habits (or somehow change their history)? Who would actually be left to use Google products? America as a whole would certainly lose access to everything Google. Most of Europe. All the the war-torn nations.
I swear... some people have no clue how real ethics work. They have no clue how change actually happens. Activism breeds resentment. Advocacy makes allies of adversaries.
Everyone is fighting for them with benefits, shares, free food, foosball tables in the office, etc.
For now
I'm clearly getting too fucken old. This has happened before, and then there is a flood of people joining the market and then there is a saturation of talent and only the really good developers get work while the shitty ones stand around going "I thought it would be a good career choice". And trust me, most programmers suck balls. Also most of these whishy washy programmers usually get out of coding into management and business analysis as soon as they can, because they know they are out of their depth, and would rather do documentation than code.
"no evidence of a data breach."
Yeah. Except that being able to view someone else's account data absolutely is a 'data breach' (.....moron!)
Considering that there seems to be perhaps half a dozen sentient species currently on the Earth, it seems pretty arrogant to claim we're the first.
What we are it seems is the first technology using species, and that is what sets us apart,not that we think but what we build. We're also a story telling species,which allows us to build on past experience.
OK, how about if, instead of 'damage', I said 'changes to the biosphere'? Could I even get away with 'profound changes to the biosphere' or is 'profound' too relative to one's point of view also?
I'm still of the opinion that the writer of that Atlantic Magazine article was overly verbose and sensationalizing. If is enough to make me suspect he needed filler to make a deadline.

Oh boy, "they concentrating people together in a camp so let's ignore all understanding of "concentration camp" and vomit "never again".
A music festival fits your retarded definition of "concentration camp". Well, golly gee mister. It's a camp where large numbers of people are held with inadequate facilities. That's just like the holocaust concentration camps. Never again will disco music take center stage. It's a crime against humanity.

Not necessarily false conviction, although with the epidemic of unfair plea bargaining that's certainly a factor.
Studies have repeatedly shown that the lighter the accused's skin, the less likely they are to even be brought to trial, the less likely they are to be convicted on the same evidence, and the less harsh the punishment. It's not even just a black/white thing, black people with darker skin actually get punished more too.
Again, the implication is that the crime statistics are faulty and misleading based on a supposition that all groups commit crime at equal rates. Apparently we're not supposed to look at the demographics for the U.S. cities with the worse gun violence, homicides, and robberies, and use that as the basis for any hypothesis because willful denial is the order of the day.
Also please excuse me for extreme skepticism towards any 'studies' involving social justice. To say that too often the methodology and assumptions are questionable and ideologically driven is a bit of an understatement.
The epidemic of unfair plea bargaining is certainly a problem, but that is a systemic one. I.E. Aaron Swartz.

"Phage therapy or viral phage therapy is the therapeutic use of bacteriophages to treat pathogenic bacterial infections. Phage therapy has many potential applications in human medicine as well as dentistry, veterinary science, and agriculture. "
http://www.scoop.co.nz/stories...
"While there are some genuine reasons why phage treatments of bacterial diseases were overlooked in the 1930s and 1940s, the failure to develop a western research program into bacteriophage treatment in the 1980s and 1990s represents an inexcusable failure of western capitalism. By the 1980s, ther e could be no denial that antibiotic resistance was going to be a major problem in (if not before) the twentyfirst century. Yet, we just didn't want to know about what will probably turn out to be the most important medical breakthrough in the twentieth century; a breakthrough made in communist Georgia, in Stalin's Soviet Union. It is embarrassing when western science is out-trumped, especially by the "communists". Usually, when out-trumped, we don't tell anyone. That's what happened here. Not only did we not have the nous to start a western programme in bacteriophage research; we looked the other way when the files of phials threatened to be destroyed following the breakup of the Soviet Union, and during the little reported civil war that engulfed Georgia a few years ago. So much for the knowledge economies of the west. How can such valuable knowledge be so cheap?"
All politicians are liars, and North was and is as much a politician as a soldier. Those debates they've been having the past few weeks? Lying sacks of shit. Trump? Pretty much the same.
Having grown up in the northeast (or mid-atlantic, if you prefer) I can confirm that you aren't wrong here. Teachers there didn't get paid well. My brother became a teacher in a neighboring state, he did a bit better in that higher CoL area but still wasn't raking it in.
The high school I attended has a massive football stadium. Despite dwindling and aging local population, this rust-belt district anomalously just built a whole building attached to the stadium for "offices". Even 40 years ago they poured $$$ into football (and basketball), but physics wasn't a "worthwhile academic pursuit".
Back to TFA: the abstract implies that humans had been doing this work. Did we really not have software for this already?
No, the actual legal definitions vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction and depriving the owners isn't always part of the definition. For example:
"Stealing commonly refers to larceny and larceny is the unlawful taking or carrying away of the goods of another with the intent to convert them to your use." [United States v. Kemble, 197 F.2d 316 (3d Cir. N.J. 1952)]
https://definitions.uslegal.com/s/steal/
However, the article was using "stolen" as vernacular for one of a number of possible crimes such as larceny, burglary, theft of trade secrets, etc. Another example of vernacular usage is "identity theft", which is really a crime of fraud and not theft, yet people know what it means.
Either way, the actual crime was most likely along the lines of computer trespass.
I believe there are too many Trumps and Clintons. There is therefore an excess. Therefore they are pollutants.
70 employee signatures
So the cafeteria staff, or the guys who do the carpet cleaning, all immigrants themselves. I mean fuck, 70 out of all those employees, did they write the article for slashdot as well? I bet you it was probably 7.
That's BS. Illegal immigrants have the rights guaranteed by the Constitution not explicitly reserved only for citizens. Citizenship grants additional rights and privileges.
You just don't like that there are protections for illegal immigrants due to HUMAN rights. Which they should have. Because they're human.
They have every right to tell the employer what they would like them to do. What happens next may depend on the response or lack of a response.
Not sure exactly what you're asking.
It's a joke. A person can pay in paper, that being cash as in paper money, or plastic, that being by electronic transfer with a plastic debit or credit card.
If plastic bags are banned and the cashier is asking "paper or plastic?" then they must be asking how the buyer is going to pay what's owed.
