Comment 30kg of CO2? (Score 1) 111
The numbers don't make sense to me - 30kg of CO2 from 120km of driving? My car uses around 11L of gas per 100km (it might be better in the summer, but it's winter and I only drive in the city during winter). There's no way that it's producing 30kg of CO2 when I used less than 9kg of fuel.

Yup, for game-play rebalancing, it's been around for a long time. I'm pretty sure I remember it be used in Half-Life 2, 17 years ago. The devs knew where players were getting stuck and could make small changes to keep the game fun.

Submission + - macOS 10.14.4 Mail client broke Gmail access for some users (apple.com) 1
_observer writes: Hundreds of users are unable to read their Gmail in Apple's Mail client since the upgrade to macOS 10.14.4, with few workaround available. This is impacting business and personal users, although not all Gmail accounts are impacted. The web client and other clients like Outlook still work — it is only Apple's Mail client. Users are caught in a login loop.
It appears that the issue was even found and reported in the 10.14.4 Beta, but not addressed when the update was released.
No word from Apple about this.
While I am somewhat sympathetic to the software engineers having bugs in code (I am an engineer too), but this seems to be a BIG QA miss.
Gmail is the most popular free email service and this is blocking a large number of users.

Normally, I'm a big fan of very brilliant people...
but then I didn't think it was possible to jump the shark in a motorized wheelchair.
Seriously, what would any civilization want from a messed up, polluted tiny little planet like Earth? Any resource we have, except our own stupidity, is more abundant elsewhere.
