Awesome, they have a very popular game. Someone who beats it with a computer program should not be negotiating with them for the release of the software. Especially with the nontrivial risk of lawsuit by a multi-billion dollar company hangi

If they want to avoid ruining entertainment value, they should make a game that is not so easily solved by a computer program. They deliberately avoided mechanics that introduce complexity when designing Hearthstone. I do not see why anyone

Play Path of Exile. It's a much better game than Diablo 3. Whether or not Rares or Uniques are best in slot items is a matter of designers taste when it comes to Action RPGs. You can tune the item drop tables however you want. I would

Wut? Cabs pull over, look at you, and drive off if you aren't the right skin color. It happens all the time. They assume black people live in poor or dangerous or remote neighborhoods. The law about cabs being required to stop is total

This is such a killer point and neatly sums it up. This is also why I think basic income would be so great for a startup CEO. If there is a sensible government system for guaranteeing my survival, I can put all the business revenue back int

Yeah that is one perspective for sure. To be clear, I'm not arguing that it is justified or moral. Whatever you think about 'right' or 'wrong', you have to realize that a person who builds a store is going to want t

Explain the downvote?

It's pretty reasonable to expect a store would think of tracking a customer's path through the store. Websites do that all the time. In addition, if we find a good way to provide information to the store owner about how his or her

I think what's really great about our system is that (at least for the privileged who can work in startups) its really easy to put your money where your mouth is. If you are a skilled employee that is responsible for the bulk of a comp

What cost effective alternatives are there to public schooling in the U.S.? Is it possible or feasible to home school your kid with success?

Exercise. Meditate. Cook. Listen to music. I never found the ability to rationalize a task I dislike. Instead, I find joy elsewhere and try to preserve that feeling as I tackle the task.

Do you think ease of cloning is the correct metric to optimize? Put another way, if a game developer thinks this: "This would be a really fun game! But it would be too easy to clone, so I guess I will not make it. I'll do somethin

Visual design is important in games. Novel game mechanics are important in games. In this case, I think the mechanics were the difficult thing to create. And the mechanics took months to refine. Looking at the history of Threes -> 1024 -

Here is a clip for a classic hip hop song by 3rd Bass that is relevant: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QYp28tEAVvs&t=1m58s . The verse starts: "Black cat is bad luck, bad guys wear black. Musta been a white guy w

Shame is a pretty poor incentive or disincentive for anything. It actively prevents connections between people.

Ah no. As I stated in the post, in the second sentence: "Git is not hard" Question: Why the heck is Git so hard? Answer: Git is not hard. The article is a false premise.

Betteridge's law of headlines states: "Any headline which ends in a question mark can be answered by the word no." You have to modify the law a bit with this article but you get something like "Git is not hard". Tha

Rolling a weed cigarette with tobacco produces something called a 'spliff' in the U.S. It's common in the U.S. in New York and California.

If the point is that colonialism isn't the only variable that exists, then we are all on the same page. That was explicitly stated in the thread. India was colonized and India has access to better technology and medicine compared to th

"butthurt" is the pain you feel in your anus after being anally raped. If you scroll down on that knowyourmeme page that you linked, you will see a set of memes in the "Buttfrustrated" category. The Brony meme has a set

Seeming reasonable to people this thread is not a priority for India. Neither is seeming reasonable to western countries. India wants to industrialize, and they will do it any way they can. If you care about emissions, you need to understan

Just to be clear, we're talking in the context of emissions. In the context of emissions, it's perfectly reasonable for a developing country to say "Well, we were just colonized, so we're not really keen on reducing our

The comment I responded to pointed out that India has different circumstances surrounding its industrialization because it has more advanced technology and medicine. I was pointing out that it is disingenuous to claim India has different ci

The general point "history is rife with inequities" is not going to mean anything to any developing nation. "History is rife with inequities" only means something to rich westerners. You are not going to get India on boa
