    If people want to complain about disproportionate funding, why is the taxpayer giving five trillion dollars to private business?

    Because the taxpayer doesn't actually decide where the money goes and the fossil industry have much better lobbyists

  2. Yeah, but can it play doom?

    No, the youtube app links you to the store which installs the app. All he has to do is press the big button. Thanks for trying though.

  5. That seems fair enough then.

    I should look in to that.

  7. Yeah. Turns out that when you make your software freely available, you do not get paid for it. If you're not OK with that, don't put it under an open source license. This is a feature of open source, not a bug.

    Seems a bit shady though that you put your stuff out for free that someone else can pick it up, package it and sell it on.

    Real games stopped being made long ago. Games that had soul.

    There are still good games getting made but they are mostly lost in the noise these days.

    Someone's forgotten just how swiftly Rockstar crumbled in the wake of the Hot Coffee mod "controversy".

    That wasn't an sjw thing that was an american sensibilities thing. Violence, swearing, racism is fine but a sex is a big no no. If it was and sjw thing they would've jacked the whole dating thing, or added a bunch of same sex or 52 different gender options or something.

    My 4 year inherited an old phone that had literally nothing but the youtube app so he could watch stuff. Within a day there was a couple games on it and within a week there was loads. Now it has all kinds of pop up shit and ad loaded screensavers going on. There's no payment or personal information or anything on it, it was wiped before he got it so whats the harm really but it is mad the amount of shit that can get on them. Before that he managed to subscribe to some service via a one touch thing on youtube on the wifes phone. I never let him touch mine.

    To be fair, Saudi Arabia has only been an ally to the US because we wanted to secure their oil, rather than because we have anything in common or like their government. Thanks to fracking, we have basically no dependence on them any more, and they're more of a burden we'd be better off shedding. Their recent liberalization is probably in part to help stave off a 'liberation'.

    Fracking isn't the answer to everything and its get you gas not oil. Oh and earthquakes.

    This is what happens when you build your stuff as cheaply as possible.

  17. It's hanging next to my "Beefed up" stock 15-year-old computer, that runs VR apps just fine

    How can it be beefed up and stock at the same time?

  18. They should always put the safety of pedestrians first. Passengers accept the danger of riding in a car. Pedestrians do not.

    I can say if self-driving cars are designed to murder pedestrians in order to save passengers, then I'm going to start carrying a gun. If I think I'm going to be run over, I'm killing everyone in the car first.

    Pedestrians take the risk too. They know they will be in close proximity of vehicles and it is their responsibility not to get hit by walking into road. If there is enough time for you to think this car is going to hit me, pull out your gun and shoot everyone inside (even though that will achieve what exactly?) then there is more than enough time for the car to avoid you.

  19. Fastest or heaviest should always yield to lighter or slower. How is this a debate? Are we losing our shit? The damn car should avoid murdering pedestrians. Just have a court give a summary judgment.

    No, its the law of gross tonnage. Whoever will come off worse from a collision gives way. In cars vs people its people everytime.

  20. There is no driver in a self-driving car.

    In soviet russia self driving car drives you....no wait a sec.

  21. No, they do not.

    Engineers should not be writing code for moral decisions at all, ever.

    Instead the machine should decide in terms of ordered rules such as "prefer not straying from its lane", "bring to a complete stop" etc

    So engineers shouldn't write the code that makes the decision they should be writing code that makes the decision?

  22. Nice theory but where I live the law says otherwise. Pedestrians ALWAYS have the right of way. It is entirely on the driver to not run people over.

    So cars never drive more than 10-20mph where you live?

  23. What if there are no traffic signals or crosswalks for the next mile? Not all roads go through cities or towns... rural roads sometimes need to be crossed, too.

    Do you not remember the green cross code? Look, listen, live.

    Guess I'm lucky. I've ran into some pretty nice oil paintings of gardens, landscapes and whatnot that were dirt cheap via a no-name artist. I would think they might be worth thousands if not more. Nope, maybe a hundred buck. Possible just 20 bucks. Anyways, you don't have to spend a lot to acquire good art. And yes, "art" is subjective. I'm pleased my tastes arn't that expensive.

    And I bet they took way more time, effort and skill than one of banksy's spray paint jobs but there you go.
