Seems the blog author was taking the "cheap" option by trading time-to-deliver for cost. I don't think anyone assumes when they take the cheap shipping option that they are eating a 10% chance the package never shows up. Nor

At the risk of getting dinged, I have a hard time thinking this is a real article. Example 1: Changing `s` to `displayScore` doesn't fix the problem the code is using `p1`, `p2`, `p1N`, `p2N` AND defining a new `p`. WITH multiple terna

Make a clone with look-alike rules. Of course you'll need new maps, unit tokens, and scenarios custom to your clone. I know it is easier said than done, but, rightsholders sit on obscure IP like a dragon on a hoard. If they DID make a

If we replace animals at the zoo with robots, then we don't need to worry about endangered species or not anymore! And I'm sure we can do scientific research on robot animals just as well as normal animals, just a different kind o

This will never happen, ever. What are the incentives a publisher/developer has for putting anything on a blockchain? Company B wants nothing to do with Company A's digital assets, and Company A does not want to make transitioning

Because 99% of our job is putting together standard logic that should've been included in most language's standard library? Automate the rote software engineering so it's built upon a shared, healthy, secure, etc codebase...

Some advertisements are malicious attacks on your attention to build brand recognition and entice you to buy things you don't need. However, I think advertising in itself isn't inherently evil. If a chess website served non-tracki

Gonna push back on this analogy. Ripping out features that cause more trouble than they're worth is like moving a dozer, back hoe, fertilizer spreader, etc off your property. Average users appreciate all the extra real estate of their

To describe a microcosm of this line of thinking, let’s take Pokémon cards. Packs containing a (foil/holo) card weigh more. A sealed box of packs is theoretically a gold mine. But how do you establish that the presealed box wasn’t raid

I am moving to Austin very shortly from the Bay Area. Rent is 1/2 as cheap for 2x the sq ft, and property values still currently with in the stratosphere (unlike the Bay Area). No income tax. Hopefully Austin acts quick and starts buil

Why would a developer implement this? What incentives do they have, other than being able to say they did? Digital cards being locked to an account was the greatest achievement for TCGs in the past decade. Non-tradability is a feature. This

30% distribution fee is standard across so many things. Steam, AppStore, and it looks like Spotify as well. Seems like the ones losing out are those that are signing record deals, giving over 41% (or 54%? The %s don't add up to 100 in

I've been thinking about this a bit. Compare a 1million view YouTube video (arbitrary $3/CPM(1000 views), so $3000), take the 16% cut in the article and you get $480. So Gary Numan's work is roughly valued one less magnitude

Absolutely anecdotal to a single apartment building, but I check the listed prices for units inside my building in Redwood City. My particular unit-type, on another floor, has fallen ~$700... I was a fool for renewing the lease.

Unlikely and I’ll cancel my subscription when it happens. Netflix putting promos at the start of their series is almost enough for me to cancel there.

Wanted to comment on this. I see this very differently than the Samsung situation. Spotify provides music for ads, unless you pat the subscription. I am not offended that Spotify would do this for their “free”/ad-supported users. I pay

It all boils down to $$$, of course. 1. You cannot touch the sacred cow $60 game price. You can go lower, you cannot go higher. 2. Reoccurring revenue & upsells/addons are every business' wet dreams. The game is done, sell it

Making laws based on ephemeral societal standards lays groundwork for abuse. I would rather a law on the technicality of things, than opinions and feelings.
