  1. Re: How long until the cheaters take over? on Nintendo Stock Price Up 9% After Pokemon Go Launch (venturebeat.com) · · Score: 1

    They tried as hard as they can to make go kid friendly: no comm chat, no Intel map, no direct conflict like within ingress. The battle dynamic is completely different in go. I'm sure some griefers will think of ways, it seems pretty well thought out.

    I was in the closed beta since early June, and use my Google account to log in to the official game. Testers never once had the server issues that we've been seeing continuously since launch.

    I think it's the part where "Apple releases a great NEW feature", as if no one had ever thought of it before. That's the impression I got anyway.

  14. *rest of the data... mobile lack of preview strikes again.

  15. Couldn't this be fixed by installing a photocell or proximity sensor or something that would tie in with the test of the data to confirm if it was the pedal depressed or it was a bad potentiometer? Bad pot gives 100% throttle, photocell confirms pedal was/wasn't depressed? It couldn't be that hard and would go a long way towards settling this one way or another.

    Sorry for the multiple replies. A person opening a new Factory would not be at any advantage because any robot job would be considered a virtual worker under my plan, new companies even new areas of business that would not have been previously possible such as undersea mining or sending robots into other hazardous areas AKA nuclear waste cleanup, each individual autonomous unit would be considered a virtual worker and draw a virtual salary that goes into the UBI pool. Don't need your just actually think it through for a little while consider it from multiple angles. It sounded crazy as hell to me at first too but it's sounding more and more like it makes sense.

    Also the companies wouldn't be paying the ex workers salaries. They would pay the virtual salary for the virtual worker and it would go into a pool with all the other companies money and all the money that used to be used for programs like food stamps and Welfare and all the associated costs and that would be the universal basic income pool. You say It's A peculiar concept but it's also a peculiar concept to think that in a decade or 15 years that literally no one might have to work anymore because there will be robots to do absolutely everything for us. If we have that radical of a shift in our society then why not the economy also?

    Also, do away with inheritance. It's nothing but a lottery for babies, the accident of one's birth parents shouldn't determine if you're homeless or a multimillionaire before you're of legal age to join the work force, put that money in the UBI pool, too.

    Tired of typing this out. Virtual salaries. Look up thread a little for an explanation of the concept.

    First off, dissolving all social programs and associated bureaucracy will probably recover ~40-60% of the money spent on these programs by eliminating all the bureaucratic overhead. Next, make a law that every robot that displaced a worker still gets paid a virtual salary for that worker. The business owners will still come out ahead, due to robots being able to work 24/7, in the dark, no air conditioning etc. Take all those virtual salaries, put them in a pool that UBI draws from. Sure, some owners will bitch but robots don't buy goods and services so they're gonna need a population with some spending money, or they're gonna be out of work soon, too. I'm no economist but it seems to me that's a good start.

    The hack was detected because the hackers altered the recipes stored on the computer. Customers and employees were shocked when actual pizzas started coming out of the oven, that's when management determined someone had hacked the system.
