Supermarkets sell promotional space and in some cases access to have products even appear in store, either through discounts on the wholesale price or straight up charging for it. They absolutely tilt things in favour of their own brands,

The difference is that gambling increases the overall variance of outcomes to an individual whereas insurance decreases it. I wouldn't say insurance is a form of gambling but that they are two ends of the same spectrum. The differenc

I would expect minute-by-minute coverage with a lot of pictures, maps, estimates of how much time they need to reach Moscow etc. This existed, it just didn't exist in the traditional media. Look in the right discord servers and ther

No, it did not “double-check”—that’s not something it can do! And stating that the cases “can be found on legal research databases” is a flat out lie. What’s harder is explaining why ChatGPT would lie in this way. What possible reason co

It's not focused on a point, it's focused on an area, and while it will be hot it won't be unbelievably hot. See this explanation which is far better than I can explain- https://what-if.xkcd.com/145/

What they're talking about is a very active debate in Australia. The simplified and (generally) commonly accepted narrative is that a cohesive group arrived here 45-60,000YA, lived peacefully and in harmony with the land right up unti

How does one definite hate speech? Who gets to decide? That's my entire problem with this philosophy. Some one or some group feel holy enough to be the arbiters. Yes, real life is hard and complicated and there's no easy way to

The basic technique is from a research paper: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/4295561_Fast_Hydrau... My first attempt at creating a simulation of water and erosion before I saw this paper was pretty bad as wel

Yes. Plus different rocks types, since how different rocks respond to erosion is an important factor in why the world looks the way it does.

this I might gamify it a little bit more, but personally I love the fun that comes from exploring a set of mechanics by yourself without anyone telling you what you're trying to achieve. My aim is to build a set of simulation mechanics

Do you have any idea of what you'd want to import it into? I get this feedback a lot, but I'm unsure what formats would be most useful- there are a lot of different heightmap / GIS formats to choose from.

Just sandbox mode for now. The rivers don't meander in the way that real rivers do- real rivers meander because of differences in flow velocity across the width of the river, but the simulation doesn't run at that sort of resoluti

Although I think the whole token-backed thing is completely unnecessary, it's not hard to imagine what value people walking, hiking, jogging and being physical has these days.

I work for a company of ~200 total employees with ~30 in engineering and the org chart for an engineer goes Individual Contributor -> Manager -> VP Engineering -> CEO. 4 total layers, 2 of managers.

No offense but it would need to be much more refined than what you suggest. Stalemate is pretty rare, but the 50 move / 3 move repetition is 99% of draws in chess- or at least would be the outcome if players were not allowed to agree

Assuming your life is spent in a virtual world consuming media, that is. For people who want to live in the physical world with maybe a few augmentations here and there, AR could be around forever.

In contrast, the insured often relies on a recollection of their history and a ton of emotional reasoning to decide if they will be the statistical oddity to make "a profit" of having bought insurance. This isn't generally
