And where do I buy your get rich quick with dropshipping book?

Yeah, if it takes twice as long to charge you need twice as many charging stations. Not rocket science. Makes perfect sense if you think 5 second about it.

Just whatever you do, don't think 6 seconds about it.

Why? It seems like we agree to me. I'm not saying they were lazy, or mercenary. All I'm saying is that if they were mercenary in the way OP suggested (organizing to get better deals when threatened with closure), they did nothing improper to their new owner.

Good for them I say. If you're an employee trying to get the most out of Ubisoft while giving as little as possible in return, you simply have the same attitude to the company as they have to you.

Oh no, what would the world be like without dropshipping?

How would you know the technical isn't the problem, when data keeps being faked? It's not the first time.

Thank you Daveid.

It's perfectly normal to go around spitting in people's faces, hoping for them taking a punch at you. Longing for it. Very normal. Lots of people live that way.

According to what?

Some big and weighty and serious law?

Well, there was a big and weighty serious law that you couldn't just go and kidnap foreign heads of government just because you made up a story that they were drug kingpins. Probably more than one. You would assume, if big and weighty serious laws mattered, that it wasn't possible to get away with such things for long. But clearly, thousands of soldiers, policemen, air traffic controllers, Pentagon bureaucrats, lawyers, judges etc. disagree. They think this should be allowed. They made sure it was possible.

Maybe Mignano should learn one of the new words of the last decade: "Parasocial relationships". The type of "content" doesn't matter much, you can make money even playing games for strangers, but it matters what kind of person you are.

To the degree people like fake people, real people are much better at being fake people. I don't see that changing.

A person with an unusual mind who was obsessively focused on this thing for quite a while - they label that as "autism" and suggests it gave him special powers to break the case.

There's another type of person with an unusual mind and tendency to obsessiveness, we generally call them "cranks". Are you sure we have a magical rain man and not a crank?

Margolis was a suspect for the Dahlia case, but he was cleared by the police due to having an alibi.

No non-cranks have suggested a link between that murder and the zodiac murders, since they're nothing like each other and also far removed in time.

That "Elisabeth" is the key to z13 is nonsense, since only a few of the ciphertext letters in z13 are even letters. Our "autist genius" had to give himself a lot of leeway to squeeze that interpretation in.

The most likely decoding of z13 is "Alfred E Neuman". That's the MAD magazine mascot. It's a joke. He didn't put his name in there, just like he didn't in any of the other ciphers. There's internal corroboration: the three first letters of the ciphertext are A E N - the initials of the solution.

Get replaced by AI, starve.

Just one of many examples of "content" which has no advantage over AI generated stuff (unless you count providing employment in a miserably meaningless job, I guess).

I saw a nice indie puzzle game, clearly well thought out, but the music was abysmal. Author had a short up "this is how easy it is to make a smooth jazz soundtrack!" Yes, this is how easy it is to take a couple of jazzy chords and put some directionless sax noodling on top, but unless your goal was to drive people crazy, you would be better of letting the AI do it.

All emergency powers laws should come with a footnote: Does not apply if you caused the emergency yourself.

It's not as if once he's done that, his media power is "spent" and can't be used any longer, all the physical assets are worthless etc.
