They haven't got any other ideas to reverse the falling user numbers, and apparently neither does anyone else. Firefox is a decent browser, with some of the best privacy protection features. The Android version needs some work, but it's better than Chrome. HDR doesn't work, but how many people care?

So why do people abandon it? Some sites don't work, but without simply becoming a Chrome skin they can't do a huge amount about that.

Aggressive marketing by Google? Can't stop that either.

AI isn't actually the worst idea. For a lot of people being able to say "download this video" and it does would be a valuable feature. You can do it with an add on, but most people won't get that far. I bet it won't be able to do that though.

Employers need to accept that they have to train and develop people they take on. Grades should be an indication of ability to learn.

Say you have 100 shares available at a given price, and three people offer to buy them all in the same second. How do you handle that? You could give them all 33, and have one spare, as long as they are okay with only getting 33. Maybe you could have an "all or nothing" marker on the trade.

Random delays have the same issue, the buyer either has to accept an unknown price up front, or the seller has to accept cancelled trades and unpicking failed multi way deals.

The system was designed for human traders and needs a fundamental rethink.

Their energy costs are typical for Western Europe. The only ones significantly cheaper have already done what Germany is doing - installed a lot of renewables.

The UK has multiple spellings too. At school they mostly teach the -ise spelling, but I prefer the Oxford -ize spelling. Either is acceptable, although a lot of spell checkers don't support Oxford.

Whatever you do, don't Google what that stuff is. You don't want to know.

To be fair, the same is true of a lot of human designs too. Lots of modules and highly integrated ICs used, all basically black boxes. Not as bad, but certainly not immune to screw ups either.

I wonder if it passed EMC and ESD.

The way it works is that there are limits on fleet emissions. A certain proportion of cars sold must be zero emission, and the fossil ones must have average emissions below a certain level.

Even with this change, the great majority of cars sold will have to be EVs.

I don't believe it's been proven that Trump is personally a pedophile. Merely that he is friends with a few.

Sunk costs can make it hard to withdraw. I wouldn't read too much into that. And the precise number isn't as important as their size, which doesn't seem to be mentioned, or at least featured.

Pretty much agree, except that I'd use a continuous equation, probably a logistic function, have trades of over 20 years have a negative tax, and have trades of under 10 ns have a tax rate greater than 100%.

They've also removed, or made more difficult to use, features that I depend on. Probably to satisfy the phone market.

The points about Robux is fair. The microtransactions are very tacky, but not heinous. It's a "free" site...thus they have to pay their bill somehow and they don't presently advertise...so yeah, they sell you pointless outfits as well as game hacks. I've never spent a penny, but my kids have. IMO, paying for access to content is a fair way to pay the bills...and for optional costumes? that's honestly even better because I am smart enough to never pay for them. However, as adults, we have to realize that services cost money. You can't have free stuff without monetization. It's either fees, ads, or optional purchases. For some reason, that infuriates much of /.

I think you're overstating the addiction. Children are disappointed all the time at the smallest of things...you change their favorite flavor of chocolate milk and a child will have a meltdown. They're fucking children. Even so, I challenge your label of addiction and "fun game". Even if I am not an addict, I'd be annoyed you destroyed my saves or block access to my content. Liking something and being upset it's lost is not addiction.

I've worked in a few hospitals, 2 on the South Side of Chicago...in the 90's crime epidemic. I've seen addicts. I've helped people treat them. I've seen people with severe crack, cocaine, heroin, and meth addictions. I have alcoholics and pill addicts in my extended family. If you think an 8yo acting like a brat after you destroy their digital property is anything like addiction....fuck....I wish I had your life. I wish I could say something so fucking stupid with a straight face. I wish I could conflate the 2 unrelated things. I envy your life that you're so sheltered you think the 2 are similar in any way.

However, I am confident Putin isn't concerned about digital addiction of their children. He doesn't give a shit about his people. I don't know that any Russian leader has.

As someone who has spent way more time than I'd like in both Minecraft and Roblox, no...it's no more risky. It's probably a lot less risky because Roblox is the first platform I've seen that's really popular with young girls and girls like to tattle. So the jackassery that goes on in Fortnite, Halo, or any other shooter gets reported faster in Roblox.

I think the noise is based on 2 things:

1. Old people like to ban things they don't understand because conservative media needs a demon. If you're 75yo and watch Fox News every night, you're never going to understand Roblox. The games are weird. We've heard this before: Heavy Metal is satanic, Rap is making our children criminals, Mortal Kombat makes them serial killers. Marilyn Manson will make them school shooters. No one thinks to ban action movies that are just gun porn. Why? Because old people understand those and enjoy them. So John Wick is OK...but Roblox? No...that's Hillary Clinton's Pizzagate pedophile ring ran out of the basement of a pizza parlor in DC that doesn't even have a basement.

2. Gender: People are always more concerned about their daughters getting molested than their sons. I'd imagine Call of Duty or World of Warcraft or Halo or Arc Raiders or whatever are eve more of a threat, but those games are popular with males primarily. And the Roblox games are very kid friendly, like Adopt Me.

Popular online games have always been boys' turf. Now that girls are in, people are getting weird about it...not in a misogynistic way...just a protective of their daughters way.

Yeah, somewhere in the world, someone has been mauled or killed by a shark or bear....very scary, very rare. We still go into the woods and go into the beach. Every year, someone near me gets bitten by a shark once or twice in the summer. That same year, there were easily a billion (non-unique) swimmers in that area.

Either you understand probability or you don't. Life is risk. There's no way to avoid all risk beyond killing yourself now. You're like those people that think their plane is going to crash on every takeoff. You don't understand math.

If you actually tried it and are a sane person, you'd see your fears are unfounded. If you did the research of how many active users vs reports they have, you'd see your fears are unfounded.
