When people offered webmail services (like hotmail, which was gobbled up by Microsoft) Yahoo started their own yahoo mail
Altavista offered search engine Yahoo also offer search engine
When Twocow offered file gathering / downloading service Yahoo followed suit...... et cetera... et cetera
Even today Yahoo does not have a focus
You could say the same sort of things about Microsoft. They weren't first to market with a graphical OS, a word processor, a spreadsheet, a TCP/IP stack, a browser, a game system, or a search engine. What measure of success they've had is due to bundling, network effects, marketing, and execution, not innovating.
Many making-of documentaries emphasize the challenges to create a narrative around the miraculous production. IMHO, these movies sucked because:
A) Lots of stuff happened but the characterizations were so weak that we stopped caring. B) The CGI orcs were boring and unbelievable next to the live footage. C) It was too long.
Thanks for writing in about this. This is a known bug we're looking into a fix for as we speak. Please try again in a few days and write back if you're still experiencing troubles.
The instructions to mean that each pilot is worth 100 points. The tutorial deems that a failure; the programmer has to award more points for each to succeed. I think the problem statement doesn't match the success criteria.
I'm confused as to why we're surprised by the this. Nobody is offended when the a CD of doesn't have enough content to fill the medium. The cost of a printer ink cartridge is far greater than the material costs.
The printer manufacturer has a monopoly on the cartridge. We need to fix that, not get our panties in a bunch about a particular way they exploit this advantage.
Windows 95 is the first Microsoft OS that really had to deal with multitasking. People didn't run multiple applications very successfully on windows 3.1 machines. The Windows 95 GUI presented multiple applications "good enough". It's not some genius UI. It's the one people know, and until something is *much* better, it's not a good value proposition to force people to something new.
Why is it relevant that it's a shitty movie? That seems like a reason NOT to download it.
I get it, someone will say it's not worth $1 to rent it from Red Box, so the studio isn't out anything. There's no lost sale. But if it's not worth the money to rent it, how is it worth your time to watch it?
Regardless of your nonsense, here's a basic fact for you: Pew Research reports that only 4% of Central American illegals in the US actually work in agriculture. Your entire meme about food prices going up due to a sudden drop in cheap illegal labor is pure BS and you know it.
Surely we need to know the percentage of agricultural workers who are Central America illegals, not the percentage of Central American illegals who are are agricultural workers.
A lot gets said in a voice mail that won't be said in an e-mail. People are generally not good actors. I can get a lot extra information from a voice mail about how someone 'feels' about the subject that they many times would not write. I can also convey a lot of information like 'don't push this issue with boss, I'll fight you on this' that I would not want to commit to writing but will state thru tone, rate of speech, pronoun selection etc in voice mail or on a call.
Conversely, one of the merits of email is that people can't do that - convey something and then deny it.

I agree that replay could use some tweaks. The clock in football constrains stalling before the challenge. I'm not sure how to implement that pressure in baseball, which traditionally allows an indefinite number of time outs.
There's an interesting oddity to the way umpires are currently graded with pitch F/X. Pitches that cross the front of the plate at the batter's knees but then drop before reaching the catcher are strikes by the definition in the rulebook. Those pitches don't look like strikes to the casual observer, so umpires stopped calling them strikes, basically so they don't get yelled at. Batters know this and generally position themselves at the extreme back of the batter's box to give themselves the most time to react to a fastball.
The automatic system currently grades umpires with the standard that balls and strikes have traditionally been called, NOT with a strict adherence to the actual rulebook zone. So when the MLB implements the automatic balls & strikes, will it be the actual strike zone or the traditional zone? Robot umpires don't care when people yell at them. If it's the actual rulebook zone, pitches that bounce before the catcher will be called strikes. Batters will have to adjust by moving up in the box to hit that low curve ball.
I view myself as generally a baseball traditionalist. I hate the designated hitter rule. I mourned the addition of lights to Wrigley Field. I view replay review with suspicion.
Automatic balls & strikes seems like a good idea to me.
One of the side effects of replay is that the MLB has become much more civil. Instead of losing their shit, MLB managers calmly wait for the replay review.
For whatever reason, baseball had been unusually tolerant (compared to other sports) of long arguments from players and managers. This trickles down to the way people behave at amateur baseball games. So I'm hopeful that replay will eventually change the expectation for behavior in amateur games without replay. And following behind, automatic balls and strikes will do the same.
I find it arrogant for any group to tell another they can't handle the truth, so to speak. Maybe arrest records are unreliable metrics. Shouldn't adults be able to figure that out?

I think there's an error in the problem specification for this puzzle. Nice job giving the prospective programmer a realistic view of the industry.

If you add only 100 points for each pilot (per the instructions), that makes 300 points, which the tutorial deems a failure.
Defensive drones, so they can dogfight.
That seems like a reasonable deterrent. How else would we stop the Cuban software?

I don't think it would.
If it ducks like a quack, it's probably a quack.
Our impression of a good and proper supply depends greatly on whether we're buying or selling.
Not "enough" supply of tech workers? Oil too expensive? Housing market "collapses"?
An increased supply of content is good for viewers. It doesn't need to be fixed.

That was a coy description.
