Yeah someone made Quake "run" inside xterm by making an adaptation layer converting the graphics to ASCII art. You can turn any computer into a dumb terminal with external processing. But that's not "running" a program on the actual machine, it's more like "streaming":P
It's considerably cleaner than plastic and would make all the quacks stop complaining about Bispheno A. It just sinks to the bottom of the ocean and can turn back into sand through erosion.
Home ownership, along with car ownership, is a meme designed to keep the economy going in the post-WW2 era. For most of human history families stayed together over the course of the centuries, farming the same land over and over again. Move where? Why? People bred for the purpose of having more hands to help farm the land and someone to take care of them when they were too old and sick for manual labor. All of the world's problems stem from the fact that human nature hasn't changed while 20th century Western Civilization tried to shoehorn it into what best suited Capitalism.
What's the point of this shit? Obesity is a larger problem than starvation these days. Africa has come a long way since those perpetually viral pictures of starving kids were taken, 30 to 40 years ago.
Fun fact, nobody cares about America. The world is much better off today, with a lot less people living in poverty and cushy desk jobs for people who used to farm the land with medieval tools as recently as the 80s and 90s. Most of the world is thrilled about globalization. I myself made a pile of money as an online freelancer when I was younger. In Portugal, my day job is launching web pages for the developing countries we once colonized... as part of that, I need to know where to host things and how the network is laid out, to guarantee a decent load time. Google is setting up submarine cables in the southeast Asia / east Africa region, likely not out of the kindness of their hearts. They recently launched a new regional cloud server in India - and bear in mind I used to work for an Indian person who decided to get their MBA in Portugal for some reason. I quickly learned that people all over the world are trying to grab a foothold in this region because, duh, 2/3 of the world's population lives around India and China. Because it has the potential to grow explosively as their economy inevitably develops. Government intervention is very far from the point. https://www.youtube.com/watch?...
Poor diseased people do not buy or watch Google ads. It is in our selfish self-interest to uplift developing countries so as to create new markets where to sell our stuff, new products and services to buy off of them, add manpower to the global research effort or whatever lofty goal you prefer.
At least they used to, not sure about Windows 10. I managed to hack together a semi-functional desktop environment that looked like Windows 3.1 because NT 3.51 apps looked the same and were compiled for 32-bit Windows APIs.
Mobile games are shit. Why would I ever be subject to a timer and spend years getting anywhere in a game? Unless you're a millionaire, modern mobile games are very often unnecessarily protracted grinds.
Because everything ELSE has evolved, and everything ELSE in our lives has been created based on solid scientific evidence, statistics, causality, and logic. With acupuncture people pulled an idea out of their hat and tried to shoehorn it under a microscope looking for evidence that it may have some logic or causality other than the placebo effect, selection bias and sampling errors etc.
They're what happens in the natural environment where people live and work everyday. DUH. If you want to derive conclusions about environmental levels of radiation you compare shielded with unshielded. Right?:P
The world is not America, where kids can buy guns but they can't have sex or drink beer. Other countries have much lower ages of consent, at or below 14 years of age.
Because some countries over here in Europe have already switched to renewables long ago, starting with hydro power for instance, wtf is this about solar and wind? Every major river has a dam. They are necessary for agriculture, not just electricity. And yeah some days per year we hit 100% renewable energy.
Is this news for nerds? Haven't we all gone digital yet? Uh, iTunes? Spotify? I think I bought a total of 1 CD in the past 22 years, because the artist was so obscure I couldn't find it online.
If I understood correctly, Alphagram is the result of sorting alphabetically the letters of a word, so there aren't many different combinations. I.e. encoding a message about a CAB, it would sort to ABC, and only ABC. When discussing SHEEP, you could only encode it to EEHPS.
That anyone should ever have to participate in the economy, know how the game works and how to play it. Good heavens, what would we do if people were proactive and entrepreneurial instead of "i can has job gimme"? I was only 27 when my tiny startup rose up to $500k/year gross income. It's what happens when freelancers are competent. Some Uber drivers I have stumbled upon, started their own business and have already grown it to 2 or 3 cars.
Most people with college degrees made an unwise decision i.e. studying something they liked, regardless of whether or not it would have a good chance of employment. Most people who get married are unwise: they should have known "liking the same band" is not grounds for a solid relationship and divorce was very likely coming later. Or they live in the boonies and got married because they wanted to have sex with their parents' approval. Or they got into a shotgun wedding because of teen pregnancy. College degrees and marriage don't necessarily imply wisdom.
I was an immigrant in a wealthier country once. It was an unwise decision that got me nowhere. I was alone and didn't speak the language. The moment I came back, I immediately found a job through a friend. I should have had more faith in my own country's economy when I was young, i.e. the first time I lost my job during a recession.
"Design by committee" is compromise. It's slow, bureaucratic, and yields poor results. I've never seen a wise decision based on consensus. I've seen the large scale consensus being, uh, dot-com-boom, along with other bubbles and ensuing economic crisis. A wise person has sage advice and makes good decisions quickly, reusing solutions based on years of experience. If you have to stop to consider that you're wrong, you're probably reinventing the wheel, which was unwise to begin with. Didn't you learn how to manage life from your wise old parents or grandparents or their friends? Those wise people, who didn't crawl into a bottle or drive into a ditch while speeding through an icy road, or shoot up heroin, have unsafe sex, ruin their lives by getting pregnant at the age of 12. You should have been wise enough to listen to them, that is why society only allows you to make decisions after a certain age. That is why you were supposed to respect your elders and do what you're told for 20 years, instead of being a rebel.
Presenteeism ftw. I am 38 years old and do the same fucking stupid shit as I did 16 years ago. I get paid more, for absolutely no reason, as I fully expect younger people to have more energy and motivation, as well as the copious spare time to learn this week's popular brand of bullshit tech.
Facebook has APIs for everything... WTF is this all about? Has no one noticed that you can send Facebook messages through Skype?:) Anyone can build their own Facebook messenger or pretty much anything they want.

Now you know why it wasn't large. You need to accept high risk in order to reach high returns.

And I checked the resource usage, one tab was using 2 gigs of RAM for some reason! ACK!

They are based on population density... but of course there will be more accidents in places where more people go more often.

This company was bought by the French ISP Altice who introduced sweeping changes to everything and fired people etc.
