They need to look at our progressive American way of doing things instead: throw people out of your restaurant, get them fired, and gather in mobs outside their house.
Or the conservative American way of doing things, throw people out of your bakery or restaurant, get them fired, gather in mobs outside their house, shoot them at church, firebomb their business....
Both are exploiting the paying customer into doing free labour and taking their data without compensation
The compensation is a better game for a lower price. Unity's metrics let the developers balance and tweak the game. No analytics, and that doesn't happen nearly as much or as well.
Also, you agreed to do it when you bought the game. You do read through EULAs, don't you?
Virtually every human has HHV6. It's one of those viruses that does a good job hiding in our bodies after infection, and pretty much every child catches HHV6.
95% of humans have HHV7 antibodies. It doesn't do as good a job of hiding.
So, it isn't like "catch this virus and you'll get Alzheimers". Because we'd all have Alzheimers if that was true. Either something unusual happened that caused the viruses to cross the blood-brain barrier and cause dementia, or far more likely the effects of dementia let the viruses cross the blood-brain barrier.
Your confusion largely stems from the fact that HHV6 and HHV7 are not STDs. They're skin infections. Virtually every human catches these viruses as children.
So yeah, a few mad scientist could try to CRIPR their way in clandestine lab to build super-bugs with ultra-killing genes, but if these monsters kill too fast, they won't stand a long term chance
That's probably a perk.
Let's say you're in your volcano lair in Elbonia, and you're wanting to harm, say, the US. The fact that your pathogen will likely burn itself out in the US and not get back to Elbonia is a good thing from your perspective.
This is what focus groups and play testing are for.
The people who will participate in focus groups and play tests are not representative of the public at large. They are supposed to be, but that never really happens.
Ever work in QA? Here, let me show you how it works; It's called a written report. You play the game, then you write down your fucking issues and submit them.
Ever work in QA? Did you notice that the people who work in QA are not representative of all players?
QA's assessment of what is "fun to play" does not necessarily correlate with the public at large. Also, having to play the same game hundreds of times through it's alpha and then beta stages means their opinion of what is "fun" in the game is going to be out-of-whack compared to someone who just picked it up.
That is, when you're not shuffling the costs onto 3rd world countries and creating environmental disasters because there's no real environmental policies in place to boot. But hey, it's 'free energy' right?
So....How's Iraq these days? I'm sure it's a paradise since we conquered it for it's oil. And that invasion was so cheap, right? Also, Is Yemen is a lovely place at the moment? Clearly there aren't multiple petro-states fighting a proxy war there. Heck, we can even go back to that ugly business surrounding re-installing the Shah to prevent nationalization of oil production in Iran. That must have had no effect on the third world.
Oh, and there's also the itsy-bitsy detail of pollution from production of oil and gas in the third world. Might be just a tiny bit of it.
Or without the sarcasm, if you want to complain about effects on the third world, you're going to have to pay attention to all of the third world.
Sure! That's why there keeps being stories about coal plants selling power at a negative rate on windy nights. Because it's so easy to throttle down that the utilities would rather pay to send out electricity than throttle down.
You should not have advertized your ignorance so boldly.
There's a common thing you can frequently see on the Internet. The more condescending and pseudo-intellectual the poster, the more wrong they are. It's an obvious attempt to deflect.
Our founders absolutely knew what they meant by "the general welfare" and that DID NOT include any forms of wealth re-distribution
And here's where you're utterly wrong. Wealth redistribution would be literally giving the money to the homeless.
The city buying stuff in order to provide services to the homeless is no different than the city buying stuff to build a road. In both cases, only a small portion of the population gains the main benefit. And in both cases, it's perfectly legal and within the founder's vision - the government is supposed to maintain the commons. Homeless people covering the commons is just as much a problem as anything else covering the commons.
What makes your position Randian bullshit is you are only incensed because the city is providing a service to poor people. It wouldn't have even crossed your mind to be bothered by construction of a dead-end road to a wealthy neighborhood, despite the spending only providing a benefit to an even smaller fraction of the population.
Hydrogen killed hydrogen as a fuel. Hydrogen is a terrible fuel. The small molecules like to squeeze out of the smallest crack.
Actually, it doesn't need a crack. It can make it's way directly through the tank's walls.
Major car makers do this all the time. As long as someone comes along with a large enough order they'll do just about anything. I happened across the Ford Transit and saw it's offered in versions that run on natural gas, diesel fuel, gasoline, electric, and propane.
And you pay a very large premium for the "non-standard" drivetrain, and it's on a not-all-that-mainstream vehicle.
Your posts implied that natural gas would be the main fuel in the US, as in cars all ship with natural gas standard like they ship with gasoline standard now. And I don't see that happening over EVs.
My city is one of the 20. There's occasional stories in the local media about where HQ2 would be located in the city and various leaked bits about what Amazon is supposedly thinking. But nothing remotely concrete.
By what right do these thugs take money from entity A and transfer it to entity B for the benefit of entity B?
The state and federal Constitutions.
The government is indeed given the power to tax for the GENERAL welfare (things that are there for everybody, like national defense, national parks, the courts, etc). This is a different thing; this is taking money from one person (or a legal entity that is incorporated and is therefore a legal person) and using it for the specific welfare of another person or a group of specific persons.
This theory is not actually supported by the writings of any of the founders, nor any Supreme Court precedent. Largely because it's Randian bullshit.
Every bit of government spending benefits specific individuals more than the public at large. The Park Rangers that work in National Parks get a far larger benefit than everyone else in the country.
The problem with these observations is they don't quite fit reality.
If this overly-simplistic observation was true, CA would be losing population. It isn't. It's one of the fastest-growing states in the country. New York City would be losing population and lower-tax upstate NY would be gaining it. The opposite is happening. Kansas would be getting flooded with people moving in, thanks to the huge tax cuts Brownback passed. Instead, it's hemorrhaging people.
So like almost everything in reality, it's quite a bit more complicated than a short statement can encapsulate.
Natural gas as the feedstock does not change that you have to react that feedstock with other chemicals. And those are toxic, like the chemicals used to create paper.

And this is WPA3. It offers more than WPA2. RTFA.
To make use of the additional features of the enterprise version you need additional servers and networking equipment.
Without that additional equipment, you're running the personal version anyway.

Then why are all of the best games made back in times when companies didn't spy on their customers?
Because you're getting old, and nostalgia is beginning to color your memories.

Either something unusual happened that caused the viruses to cross the blood-brain barrier and cause dementia, or far more likely the effects of dementia let the viruses cross the blood-brain barrier.
Actually, people without dementia do have the virus. Basically every human has HHV6. The difference is whether or not the HHV6 was in the brain.
Your confusion largely stems from the fact that HHV6 and HHV7 are not STDs. They're skin infections. Virtually every human catches these viruses as children.
HHV6 is found in basically 100% of humans. https://hhv-6foundation.org/wh...
HHV7 antibodies are found in about 95% of humans, but it does not do nearly as good a job of laying latent as HHV6. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
Yeah, basically the only way to deal with this is "Don't shut down the CDC".
The way a virus spreads is to cause disease - our symptoms are the effects of the virus replicating itself so that it can spread.
If it lays dormant for a while, it can't spread naturally until it becomes active.
So yeah, a few mad scientist could try to CRIPR their way in clandestine lab to build super-bugs with ultra-killing genes, but if these monsters kill too fast, they won't stand a long term chance

Unity's analytics are about what you do in the game. Such as where you walk, where you die, where you kill stuff, what weapons you're using and so on.
Redshell's analytics record what else is installed on your system as well other information about you, personally.
They're really not equivalent.

That will make the place grow with voters that are willing to vote left or socialist. Keeping these politicians in power.
Bit of a problem in your causality chain here. To register to vote, you have to have a permanent, residential address.
when you raise taxes, people (etc.) leave
The problem with these observations is they don't quite fit reality.

All the cheap places to live get remodeled or rebuilt as expensive places.
That happens because the expensive places sell, because the housing supply is still low.
Fixing it isn't a small change. It needs a lot of 10+ story buildings full of apartments/condos to make supply begin coming close to demand.
The people who already own houses don't want that. Some because of aesthetics, but most because it would slow/stop the appreciation of their house.
which was also the last year the Federal Government ran an actual surplus and paid the debt down
FY1999 and FY2000 would like to remind you they exist.
And?
Natural gas as the feedstock does not change that you have to react that feedstock with other chemicals. And those are toxic, like the chemicals used to create paper.
