Moment I could get fiber I put Comcast and their data caps in my rear view. They are one of the most despised companies year after year for a reason. It will be hard to come back from that, and I wish them all the worst, because they are awful.

What a dystopian hellscape we American's live in that an insurance company can claim a prosthetic arm is "cosmetic." And have two appeals find the same. The system is corrupt from top to bottom. Someone else funding it is not a "feel good" story. It is an indictment of the pathetic state of for profit health care in the US. We need to have more direct action in this country.

I'm all for inclusion. But ignoring factors with a scientific and statistical basis because it hurts people in the feels is not the way to help under served communities or racial groups. This seems very much like the kind of attempt at inclusion that will lead to worse outcomes for those it is attempting to help.

We were pretty much stuck with Comcast for the first two years at my current place. In that time our service costs more than doubled. We tried calling to see about getting a better rate or modifying our service but they wouldn't do anything for us. Then fiber came down our street and we ditched Concast first chance we got. My wife used to be a social worker and routinely had to deal with Comcast and their predatory practices towards those with low income. Looking forward to their hopefully inevitable decline. There's a reason they consistently make the list of most hated companies.

Not all that long ago, there were clauses in the contract that allowed users of Unity to continue using old versions under old terms, And even get bug fixes for the old versions under those terms. Those clauses were removed a little while ago, probably in preparation for these shenanigans. Already released games may be able to dodge the terms. I don't remember what the average game release cycle is, but I believe it is years at this point. So games currently in late development with Unity, that intend to release next year, are probably utterly and totally screwed. And the per install charges are not small, they are 0.20 a download, which can add up fast.

C# has quite a few of these terser syntax shortcuts. While I like them, and use them, they don't make the language easier to learn, they make it harder. Many times you can be left guessing as to what the voodoo behind the scenes is for a particularly terse code segment. As a beginner, you are far more likely to run into shortcut code samples and then have to go learn why it was written that way and what it actually means.

From an understanding point of view, verbose is better. Hiding concepts from people, like static as pointed out in the example, doesn't make things easier to understand, it just makes them seem more mystical. Which in turn, makes it harder to learn.

If they are locked, chances are they were stolen. And if that's the case, shouldn't they be working with Apple to make sure there is a system in place to reunite stolen goods with their owners? But I guess resellers feel it makes more sense to complain and get a click bait article, rather that do the right thing.

What I find interesting about most of your complaints is they seem to support the idea that managers are an obstacle to the org being better. Even as a manager yourself, you were disempowered from doing your job effectively by the idiot managers above you. So managers in essence were still the problem even when you were one yourself.

I totally understand Sony's position. Since Bloodborne, Horizon Zero Dawn, Days Gone, Gods of War, The Last of Us, and Ghosts of Tsushima are all coming to Xbox when exactly? I mean it's only fair right since Sony has such a great history of making sure all their games are available on all platforms. The strides Sony has taken in open cross platform multiplayer also shows how open and egalitarian they are.

Wow, that Mattias half keyboard is ridiculously overpriced, especially for a rubber dome keyboard. I have a ZSA Moonlander which is a columnar split keyboard. The right side completely detaches. So I could use QMK through Oryx and configure the exact same thing as the half key Mattias. And my keyboard has two halves when I want them and cost $230 less than the Mattias. It also has mechanical switches and can be configured on board for any layout imaginable, no drivers required. Yay, open source.

Oh no, Disney better put Disney on notice that they are going to fight for the top spot. After all Disney canâ(TM)t let Disney win. If Disney let Disney win rather than Disney, what would everyone think of Disney after such a humiliating defeat from Disney.

Would love to see the Gini coefficient on that number of devs to see just how widely the fruits are spread. My cynical guess is not far.

I have played the game and the wanted system is so basic as to be a joke. If you move away by just a block or two police can't chase and stars go away. I also played it since release and through the first couple patches before I refunded.

All the things you list as who cares, a lot of us care. For a lot of folks, myself include, suspension of disbelief to be immersed in a world requires that world meet a certain threshold of believably. Cars and pedestrians having set paths heavily breaks that. The moment you pay a attention and really notice it, it is very hard to unsee for a lot of people, myself included. And it is absolutely immersion breaking.

This game needed another year in development at least. It's very unfortunately it didn't get that. Whole areas are beautiful but feel utterly empty and devoid of life or things the player can interact with.

A lot of the events on the board are kill a bunch of people grab a random item or thing and that is all. Which is a stark contrast to the Witcher 3 which had even small side quests having their own elements of story. In Blood and Wine, random question marks on the map tied into main quests through notes, or with the knights you would encounter throughout the world and discovered they formed their own story as well

Cyberpunk does not have that level of story built into the world that would make it compelling. Artistically it does. You see all these awesome areas where the artists made very interesting nooks and crannies, but they didn't then take the time to fill those places with interesting and compelling story elements like they did with the Witcher 3. That's why the game was such a let down, and seems flawed at a rather fundamental level.

I think that game is potentially salvageable. But I think it would require such a massive investment in time and effort to build out the world like it should have been, that we will never see the Cyberpunk we should have gotten. You can see they were headed in the right direction, but then cut themselves off at the knee and released before being anywhere close to finishing.

When it goes on a deep enough sale I'll probably buy in again. I liked the start of the main story enough that it seems worth getting for the main quest line at a sale price.

If she subjectively feels persecuted for her beliefs how is that a false comparison? Especially if she legitimately believes the degree to which she is persecuted for her beliefs is leading our country down a similar path to wholesale violence. You're treating the comparison as objectively false when the very nature of the comparison itself is subjective. The vast majority of us don't know what it was like to be persecuted by the N azis. The best we can do is use our subjective experience to imagine what it may have been like. In her subjective experience, she sees strong similarities to the current persecution she feels for her political beliefs (the N azis sent their political opponents to the camps too, by the way). I don't agree with her that we are at a similar point at this moment, but I understand the point she is trying to make.

So you are offended because you feel that she minimized the reality of the Holocaust. And your response to this is to explicitly minimize the persecution she feels.
