So the Watergate scandal was when the individuals hired by the Nixon campaign broke into the DNC HQ and stole documents and bugged communications.
This current scandal is when a foreign state (Russia) offered to hack the DNC to steal documents and communications in order to assist the Trump campaign. (make no mistake, this is fucking illegal. Treasonous when a foreign state gets involved.)
Present arrests are mostly related to people lying about what they knew when, and effectively stonewalling the investigation of the above.
Muller already has enough evidence to go to the top, but he is building a tidal wave of flipped cronies on his way in order to prevent any weaseling.
I think you may be overly equivocating general workplace interactions with abuse of power. Surely there is a tolerable level of flirtation at Google. What these guys did was not that.
From the outside we only see what tops the charts. Much like pop music is as bland and saccharine as it was in the early days, so too are triple A blockbuster video games.
Undertale did a great job making old things new. And it was actually a commercial success to boot. Super Meat Boy's success was due to it's surprising depth, beautiful controls, and innovative stance on dying. Some of the VR 'experience' titles are good, if short lived, fun.
But in general, I would agree. Most of the gameplay tools are the same, so only the stories are new. Most of the stories are the same too... Anything with a focus on multiplayer generally makes no real attempt at a story, so they very much seem like the same game with new models.
You clearly don't know what you are talking about. Fortnite STW was literally the only game that was intended. It was in development for 6 years. It went from one of the 'top 10 most anticipated games of 2017'
to a 6.5 review in october 17 by IGN. I'm certain I could find similar reviews from the time-frame for other sites.
BR was developed in the 63 days after STW's early access release (also, using early access as an out for a triple A title that was in development for 6 years is a joke) and it saved the franchise. This process was only accomplished by pulling resources from the unreal tournament team (which is smart because balanced FPS is their bread and butter going on 20+ years). My original comment merely states that I am glad that they were able to turn STW (garbage) into something that made them money. STW is still garbage btw. Minecraft without mining? Really? 3 material types? Can you even fish in that game?
Ah, it would appear that you did not catch the meaning in my comment.
Fortnite released originally as a tower defense / hero defense game. It was garbage and Dead on Arrival. The thing people know as 'Fortnite' is fully titled Fortnite: Battle Royale and came out months after the original release.
But thanks for the ignorant vitriol, it fuels my studies.
I'm right there with you. I still get pulled into PubG squads to this day (I also suck at it, and agree it was never "fixed" ). Fortnite never did it for me. The game plays all wonky and is for all intents and purposes, "for babies", as it were.
I am still glad that their model of free game + 100% cosmetic microtransactions yielded them success. It's an admirable model.
Fortnite was a flop. The Battle Royale mode was a slap dash add on to a failed game. They snuck into a market niche that was wide open: Free BR game with an approachable aesthetic. They monitized it very well without cries of "Pay to Win". PubG is only now starting to catch up in terms of functional sustaining revenue, and they have already lost the majority of their player base.
Ever since we no longer require facts or a general understanding that that is only 1 reality, pretty much anyone could win if they have the charisma and dollars.
BTC is done for. It's not useful for transactions and it pollutes like a MF. The writing is on the wall. It has no solution for the amount of electricity it pulls per (lack of) product/service.
As others have pointed out, these are likely polarized filters (not sure what orientation they use, but I expect its 90 degrees off from TVs). LCDs are polarized as well.
I am wondering what sort of unintended consequences wearing these glasses will have. I've noticed that some vehicle rear windows black out slightly when I am wearing my polarized sunglasses.
Manufacturers are not interested in creating users who know what they are doing. Designers tend to be of the persuasion that if it needs a manual, it isnt user friendly enough, and writing one anyway makes them look like quitters. Users themselves just want a black box with a go button that takes them to pleasureville.
The guy writes with the blunt hammer of a public access radio host, not the light-touch caveatted-to-hell script one might expect from a respectable scientist. He gave a shit presentation to the absolute wrong crowd (scientists).
If he gave this presentation while vocalizing any of the snark and sweat dripping from his text, he needs a talking to in the very least.
This article links to an info graphic. The info graphic just says that '69% of victims are under 45'. 58% of people in the US are under 45, so one could construe this to mean that millennials are gullible, but that is a stretch. 'Millennials' are a subset of people under 45. Babies are under 45 and they are gullible as fuck. No attempt was made to assess how many scams are encountered, nor the rate at which they are rebuffed, let alone any attempt to show some kind of apples to apples scam comparison.
You folks need to understand what the word 'should' means. Just because one says they should be able to do something (given a series of ideals), does not fucking mean they do it daily and fail to understand the consequences or drivers.

4% of global annual revenue... what about considering the cost of the damage done?
What about considering the cost of implementing sound security policies? No one will do it if the fine is less than the cost of implementation.
Politicians should have to answer to their claims about being arbitrarily "tough on crime", whatever it is they think that means.
Prisoners count in the census. Localities get money for them being there.
Prisoners should be able to vote from prison. And their high turnout would make people think twice about shitting on them constantly.

I wanted to call it "The Institute."

Missing out on a lot of micro transactions with thinking like that.

Just like all those assholes with the wrap around polarized lenses they get from the eye doctor. /s
Quit telling me how to live my life, grandpa!
Seriously though, do get off on the next stop.

Dilute the swamp with raw sewage.
Slavery is still a thing in America too. The 13th amendment specifically allows for the enslavement of prisoners as punishment for a crime.
Politicians should have to answer to their claims about being arbitrarily "tough on crime", whatever it is they think that means.
Prisoners count in the census. Localities get money for them being there.
Prisoners should be able to vote from prison. And their high turnout would make people think twice about shitting on them constantly.
Then the answer is no.
