Yes, pre-civilization, everywhere, males had to compete for females and most failed never getting to procreate. And were killed or delegated to beta-male status. So yes there was no concept of monogamy, women just had sex with whoever they wanted. Civilization, almost synonymous with expansionist (they are highly related), sought to fully utilize society as much as possible and speed up the production of children as much as possible. *This was mainly brought about by agriculture's new found ability to sustain large populations and even leave leisure time to do things like train a standing army and feed an army on a campaign on foreign soil.* To do this they instituted marriage (a repression of women natural sexuality), and religion to enshrine it in iron bars of tradition and faith, which stopped this harsh treatment of men, allowing them for the first a time a very good chance to all succeed and be happy. In the long run bad for evolution, but short run it not only drastically improved the child production rate but also gave you far more happy citizens who had a need to produce, construct, and generally be hard workers with a stake is success and society. Specifically, I think it is obvious that it brought young men into the workforce of nations by incentivising them, but also helped protect the development of children so that not only were more produced but they were better looked after, and better provided for old post-fertile women by binding them to one and only one man who would provide for her until his death. Which of course incentivising these old women to join the workforce, and giving them a reason to continue a hard working constructive life.
Interesting point. I was also wondering if they are possibly skipping over other reasons why it would happen. I have seen studies that have shown that Black people are generally perceived as more adult (the study did not control for how psychologically adult they actually were, so we have no idea if it is simply perception or an actual attribute). So that would imply that since you would be more inclined to view a black person as capable of looking after themselves that you would be less likely to lend your aid to one. I have no doubt that the age of the virtual person would highly influence the number of helpful individuals. Which very well might not be a reciprocated relationship.
It also makes me wonder how else did the virtual people differentiate. Was the white one 5'2", skinny, and approximately 100 pounds; While the Black one was 6'3", 200 pounds, and looked infinity more capable of looking after himself? Or did they simply take the same model and change the skin color?
OK, but then patent reform was never suggested by anyone to be Entire Legal System Reform. It would be impossible to change that fact without completely remaking the legal system.
That said, file extensions are possibly not the best way to do this. For good or ill extensions are rather extensive. All the users really need to know is what application is going to launch the file, notepad, WMP, or will it be directly executed by windows. Trying to get a user used to avi vs mp3, vs mov, vs wav, vs ini vs 1000 other proprietary random extensions that one single company uses.
Considering all the the Harry Potter films lost money, apparently they do.
I think the reason that it is not so bad for the feds is because the gross still got declared as someones income. So they still got to tax every cent pf the gross, it just showed up in other peoples and businesses financial statements.
And I think that Epic has been in the business long enough to know that the profit you declare is a pretty subjective number you can make be anything you want.
I have yet to see a game made in Unity that was not obviously made in unity (more like just slightly less effort was put into really getting the details polished). They also all seem to suffer from comparative shittier performance. Maybe unreal has just been at it longer and bigger players use it and do amazing things with it, and it is just the community that has to catch up with Unity. Maybe. All I know is hearing a game is being made in Unity puts me off.
"The state with the lowest survival rate? — New Jersey"
It also happens to be the state least effected by all its citizens being turned into mindless zombies.
While it would be great if the government offered Internet and gave many an option other than Comcast, I could see it going pretty Orwellian pretty quickly. The government offering its own service pretty much guarantees that they will subsidize the service more than they already subsidize ISPs. Making it impossible to compete. And the government would not have to pass any data retention laws if they already handled everyone's internet data. There is a point to not allowing the government to compete with businesses, and there are benefits to keeping the lawmakers and enforcers one degree of separation away from citizens.
"publicly share images and video that are sexually explicit or show graphic nudity."
Is hardly porn. Most movies released would fall under that category. Meaning you could not even host a movie review blog without censoring the video you are reviewing.
Ya, if I remember correctly, they do "offer" ISOs and have for a long long time, but not in easy to find locations. If i am remembering correctly they just "forgot" to install any security on one of their FTP servers and there are websites that will, list the available OS ISOs.
What I don't understand is why do people without legs and arms get leg/arm transplants (how about bone transplants)? It seems that we would need to master that before we start attaching heads.
Sounds like a pretty foolproof way of extending life. Many many people start degrading in their mind well before actually body failure, but there are 100 yos with decent faculties. And a better working body would help with many brain problems.
Actually, this might be a first step. The fact that the wound is perfectly fresh, and extremely cleanly severed (maybe they even sever it in such a way as to get a little extra nerves to work with). It could be a far easier fix than an actual injury.
If this is what you consider "stuff that matters" I would suggest getting a copy of the obituaries. Newspapers put them out daily, and there are literally millions of them.
If I am going to order a custom 3d printed object, I am going to want to order it from a company using a decent printer on stable ground, not some tiny peace of crap printer bumping around down the road.

I would be interested to see how the virtual race affected the outcome.
It is as close as you are going to get. They are at least as close as lab rats, so you know, you work with what you get.
I have my doubts that any but the first one were based on his work even slightly. They all deviate pretty hugely from the originals amazing formal.

OK, and how is opening the jpg in notepad going to harm your computer?

Small time indie developer.
%5 of Gross = $12,000
Gross = 240,000
Small time Indie Developer making a quarter of a million dollars a year.

Disbarring the government from offering Internet service is not a state imposed monopoly. They are onyl baring one single entity from becoming an ISP.

Will the use this data to advertise products to them. Like premium razor blades, or rope?
If this is what you consider "stuff that matters" I would suggest getting a copy of the obituaries. Newspapers put them out daily, and there are literally millions of them.
How about we just stop telling them what to think and do?
If I am going to order a custom 3d printed object, I am going to want to order it from a company using a decent printer on stable ground, not some tiny peace of crap printer bumping around down the road.
I wonder what the legal precedent/process is for turning yourself in for the reward?
