    she undoubtedly cherry picks her examples. She develops a thesis based on her analysis of the industry, then makes a video about her thesis and chooses examples to illustrate it. This is what any biographer or historian or literary critic does. Ever seen PBS?

    The big question is, so what? Nobody goes nuclear when Roger Ebert releases a review. Why is it such a big deal?

    Why do people get so upset at sarkeesian for making videos about ms pax man and princess toadstool? Who cares? She's not peeing on a statue of Mohammed. Tbh I enjoyed the videos, it was neat the way she traced certain themes over 4 decades of gaming. Why the knee jerk reaction to attack her?

    i foresee a problem, even if you had a car that could do 2000 miles, there's only so much energy you can charge overnight. this is limited by your house wiring and your transformer to the grid.

  7. Re:Why not both on Apple, Microsoft Tout Their Privacy Policies To Get Positive PR · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I have two thoughts on this. First, Apple's business model is fundamentally different from google's, and it makes sense for apple to point out the benefits of their business model at every opportunity. Second, I suspect that Tim Cook is extraordinarily sensitive to privacy issues, and one could hypothesize that it may have to do with growing up gay in Alabama in the 60s.

    more often the XBL service is available for matchmaking, sometimes it has both systems, dedicated for certain types of gameplay and XBL matchmaking for the rest.

    this is even worse. XBL or PSN cost $50/year. F that! they can KMA.

    You should better compare software to digging tunnels in the mountains. You never know what type of stone is ahead, and if you reach sand, you have to cool it so that it's stable etc.

    and yet tunnel diggers manage to work on-time and on-budget over and over and over again...

    They did so by making the car appealing to the more fortunate.

    do you think that wealth is like some sort of ginormous lottery, where the lucky winners get to accrue savings and live in prosperity and buy teslas? No. People get rich and stay rich through smarts, hard work, and tenacity.

    huh i thought that it took the URL, read it, and then sent back the plaintext. with the message you suggest there wouldn't be any plaintext transfer over the internet. that's a cool idea! also, the summary said "break the internet", which doesn't refer to KimK but rather to the fact that this method would prevent both search engine bots and hyperlinking. Kind of the fundamental cornerstone of the internet!

    i think this is kind of cool. it's clear that there's some sort of server thing that interprets the URL and spits back friendly HTMLs. it would be cool if this could be done locally, so alls you would need is a shortened URL and you would get a page of content. it would work well for wikipedia.
