Damn, Windows has really improved in the last 25 years. Wouldn't know since my last Windows was Win2k and my computers only run macOS or Linux and have crashed less that 10 times combined in the last 20 years or so. A well, whatever. Good for people still using Windows, I guess.
Society is not the governor of science. To become addicted, a chemical from outside of you must enter you, that causes the addiction. No chemical enters you via social media. You already have all of the chemicals, and your own actions cause the release of them. A society cannot officiate whether that is true.
Tell me you know ZERO about biology. Oof. You just did.
I guess we grew up differently
Cigarettes have been age restricted to 16 since 1883, and to 21 since 1920. Alcohol has been age restricted to 18 since 1960 and to 21 since 1984. So unless you're a 200 year old vampire, no, you did not.
... Fantasy worlds out there that would look epic as a AAA fantasy blockbuster triology. Raymond E. Feist comes to mind. Bernard Hennen, Guy Gavrial Kay, Brandon Sanderson and countless other top-shelf fantasy authors and epic worlds. Can't we just leave LOTR be? It's gotten an excellent film adaption, one that will stand the test of time if it doesn't get diluted with trash like it already partially has. Please stop right now.
I think we may be truly witnessing the dawn of western culture and it effing hurts.
She sued McDonalds because the HOT cup didn't warn her HOT coffee is HOT. You can't protect people from their own stupidity.
Except that's not what happened at all. https://www.youtube.com/watch?...
Repeating false things without researching them might make you stupid though.
I can buy cigarettes, alcohol, and any number of things that can become addictive. Yet things like alcohol addiction are still the user's responsibility.
Cigarettes, alcohol, and the like are not made freely available to kids.
... to all their competitors, grab the deckchairs and some popcorn and watch everybody else tear each other to shreds. Brilliant move if you ask me. 8-)
... in at least one key aspect: The cash going around is almost exclusively from the deep and wide warchests of large megacorps. Which means if a bubble pops it likely will just be a little fart for regular people and we can get rehired for our bullshit desk jobs.
Shouldn't the super-fast rotation of massive black holes counteract at least some of their gravity vertical to it's axis? Could that - at least hypothetically - eventually cause a black hole to break apart into bits of regular non-black-hole matter, if it spins fast enough?
Sorry if I'm sounding silly here, I'm a 5th-grader when it comes to astrophysics but perhaps someone with knowledge could offer some insight?
Is that it is tied to my phone and NOT to my car.
How many billions did that game make them? Seriously, this just be one of the highest grossing videogames ever, no? How long has it been going? 9 years? That's pretty epic if you ask me. This game was nothing other than an epic success (no pun intended).
Modern devices and machines appear to me like some hilarious Brazil-style cyberpunk joke-reality. Imagine an effing cyberattack bricking a lock on your car or engine-starter. LOL! Well, I guess it's not called "Internet of Trash" for no reason.
If a map service wants to take payment to make a business show on their map, that's fine. Good, even.
I disagree. Look no further than what Yelp does to see this is a terrible business model for the consumer and the businesses. It's only good for the tech company.
You have to pay Yelp $250+ a month so that competitors ads don't show on your page and that you are listed #1 for your own brand name. If someone is searching for you and you don't pay, you may be #7 on the list for your own brand name. It's mafia tactics.
... is likely going to be the mid- to further out future of coding. Presumably de-compiling into some human-only language not intended for re-compiling is going to become more and more of a thing. No need to go through all the hoops of countless programming languages and frameworks just because some naked apes like to each turn their own little software world into a stack-religion.
Some form of containers is going to remain though. Especially to isolate problems and find bugs isolating logical components into different chunks is likely to remain a thing if source code isn't available.
Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from a rigged demo. - Andy Finkel, computer guy
