The only reason "online bullies" of that variety wouldn't just be the same people you deal with in real life is if you make a point of being inflammatory with your real name. It's almost like this is the entire purpose of pseudonymity, and why it's been the norm on the internet until quite recently when it became popular to use trolling as justification to censor and surveil.
I can't remember the last time I received a music recommendation that wasn't any good at all. Have you considered that maybe you just don't like music very much? Or maybe you need some new genres?
YouTube is full to the brim with great metal and chiptunes. Not only can I find lots of good new stuff, I have the entire history of classics to directly compare it to. Shitty music can't survive in this environment.
Yeah, if you haven't found any good musicians on YouTube, you aren't trying. I don't try and I still find some good stuff. The assertion regarding the quality of "reporting" is certainly fair, but the niche of people who sincerely want relevant facts more than bias confirmation is small enough to be economically insignificant.
The music industry is defunct. Music flourishes. Newspapers are irrelevant, but awareness and engagement with current events is so high it's probably deeply unhealthy.
Media as a business is effectively on hiatus while society sorts out how to monetize things and what problems those monetization schemes cause. Media itself is in a golden age.
Age discrimination in general is a problem. This is not. If your formal education on basically any topic is more than 20 years old, it isn't relevant. It only makes sense to hire somebody like that if they have recent work history.
If they were really smart, they'd just give up so they don't have to dump effort into the arms race anymore and reCAPTCHA would just secretly be a cryptocurrency mining operation.
Why? Because it would need to be able to run on all possible future hardware, regardless of whether that hardware is aware of needing to be backward compatible with anything. The code would need to somehow be able to look at its hardware environment and modify itself to be able to communicate and fulfill its purpose within that environment, even if that environment is some kind of mushroom from an exoplanet three galaxies away. NP-completeness would be this thing's first trick, and it's arguably a form of mind control.
I mean, that's obviously stupid, and I'm obviously drunk, but be careful with the word "universal."
I want them to make good on their obligations, ones they agreed to take on in exchange for being allowed to create and protect their de facto monopoly. If doing so at reasonable prices makes them insolvent, they shouldn't have relied exclusively on regulatory capture and other forms of grift all these years. Their assets can be sold off to other companies who will hopefully engage in actual market competition.
That is the problem. They were/are taking government money to expand infrastructure, doing fuckall with it, and making money hand over fist by overcharging for shit service. We do not want them to be doing fine.
It sucks that this was lost, because it's cool research.
Despite that, how goddamn stupid do you have to be to think this is a big setback for technology? You have to press it between two diamonds harder than they can stand it just to force it to continue existing. The consumer technology that might've fallen out of this will arrive in 2455 instead of 2450. Oh no.
They rarely actually do it, but it remains an essential function of the office, and I'm sure they'll feel a need for it at some point.
By virtue of being nominally responsible for anything the company does, the CEO serves as somebody to blame when shit goes wrong. Other people get blamed more often in practice, but this is because one of a CEO's other main functions is delegating.
When I look at the quality of handcrafted stuff today, I feel even more certain that the labor market will soon disappear. There's a reason very few people in the US make a living by making things: doing it well is difficult, expensive, difficult and expensive to learn, and a machine can absolutely always do it better and faster, period.
The entire reason UBI is going to become a necessity is because much of the world will soon be post-labor. Automation will make the vast majority of humans unemployable, probably by 2030, and no later than 2050.
The unions will argue that the appropriate response to this is to outlaw automation, to hamstring its progress by demanding that it adhere to ludicrous regulations where it is used, and to otherwise do everything in their power to keep their power, just like any other political entity. Most unions haven't served their members more than they serve themselves for decades. They are terrified of being irrelevant.
The thing is that, even if an RTS weren't designed with that micro style, (God knows I wish a series other than Dawn of War would consider that) a mouse would still be better overall. The most important things in an RTS, much like with FPS, are where you're looking and what you're pointing at. The main bit a controller would have the upper hand on is menuing, for which a keyboard can present too many options in too disorganized a layout to manage without significant talent and experience.
"Handicap" is a common term in all games and sports dating back to God knows when which means to intentionally accept a disadvantage. Chill out.
Author of this comment has been on disability almost the entirety of his adult life, if you're the kind of retard that thinks privileged people have no right to say shit to the disadvantaged.
We think they're a mouse-only game because as soon as somebody made one with a mouse, everyone said "oh, why didn't we think of that?" And now playing RTS with a controller is thought of as clumsy as all hell, because it is.
Rocket League isn't one of the genres that requires this type of precision. That isn't to say it requires none, but as I've said before, there are different tools for different jobs. I wouldn't bother trying to play Rocket League with a mouse, though it's not nearly as silly as trying to play, for example, a fighting game with one.
You're the same as a friend of mine who'd get pissed at you if you suggested he use a controller for a third person brawler. "If I wanted to use a gamepad, I'd buy an Xbox!"
Your unwillingness to use different tools for different jobs is no reason to water down the experience for others, which this would do. If you make the PC version of the game easier to play with a controller, it'd be about a week before the scene is dominated by mouse and keyboard players using scripts or some other nonsense that makes their input look like a controller.
If it's working on a task it'll be doing for days, won't it be slow as dogshit? Anyway if you can't yank the cable you can still prepare by checking for an update, and changing the schedule in advance. If you're doing something like that regularly, you probably have a UPS that cost at least a few hundred dollars. (I hope you do, anyway.) If you're willing to drop that to protect your work from the unexpected, twiddling some settings to protect it from the mundane should not be an issue.

Online bullies are the only variety where "just ignore them" actually works. If you don't like the internet, go the fuck outside.
I can tell you exactly what bad music is: basically anything produced from 1995 to 2005. Especially "metal" that got mainstream airtime.

Almost all works of fiction are.

I solve this problem by never having a total of more than about five contacts.

Because the FCC is the proper authority. Broadband access should be handled the same as phone service.

Why complain about people handicapping themselves?
