It doesn't really matter, it's not even an agreement in any formal sense of the word. It is not a treaty, it has not enforcing power, and really it would be more accurate to say that the leaders of the world got together and made a statement.
Artists who do the actual meat of games are not stupid enough to work on YOUR GAME for free.
There's the problem....modern games are more a matter of art than of programming. If you look at the credit list for the recent release of Starcraft, there are tons of artists and relatively few programmers.
You can't just hack shit together to make a work of art.
Wow, that's definitely not true. Art gets hacked together all the time. Look at the recent Star Wars movie, it's a rehash with elements hacked in from all over the place. In architecture, look at the spires of Chartres Cathedral for an especially clear example. In paintingit happens too.
The point is that Argentina just relaxed currency controls and the value plummeted. The locals are already feeling the inflation
You would think so, but the relaxation was merely official recognition of the facts. (Some legislatures demand that pi is 3, Argentina demanded that a dollar be worth 10 pesos). The problem before being that it was impossible to buy a dollar for 10 pesos, no one would give it to you (unless you were very very good friends with the president or something).
In short, people were already paying 15 pesos to the dollar, and now that it's official, it looks like they can get it for 13 to the dollar, which is actually an improvement.
How come losing 40% of your salary is an improvement? I mean for normal people not for the companies that lower their costs.
Some economists applaud inflation as a way to decrease the costs of production (everyone's salary) simultaneously.
In the case of Argentina, the official exchange rate was a lie, and the only effect was to make it really hard to get dollars (because you couldn't get dollars very easily at the 10 to 1 rate).
And in fact, importers will now be able to get dollars at ~13 to 1 rate, instead of the 15 to 1 rate (or more) that they were paying.
That article you linked to is retarded. The reality is, prices of imported goods will go down (relatively speaking), because it will be easier to import and export. It's ridiculous to pay $5USD for a notebook in Argentina, just because it was made in China.
Also, it's good for tourists, too, because trading dollars on the black market was a huge pain, and you had to worry about counterfeit bills. Now you can get the black market rate, but legally from an ATM machine.
The power of Disney is they are incredibly good at merchendizing. You can buy Frozen breakfast cereal. You can buy Star Wars anything (except the holiday special).
It is unlikely the domestic audience will listen much as they prefer the illegal exchange rate
Most of the domestic audience doesn't have dollars to exchange, legally or illegally (if they are trying to buy dollars, they prefer the legal exchange rate, but have trouble getting it).
Just like most Americans don't have a steady stream of income in a foreign currency, that they're trying to change to dollars. The exchange rate mostly is noticed by tourists and importers (and exporters).
Of course, the people still feel it when they try to pay for imported goods.
Meanwhile, Argentina rejects Chavismo (or Peronismo, or Morales-ismo) and their economy improves. Eventually people are going to realize that price controls are really not an effective tool, as tempting as it may be.
An integral part of these people's identity is that they're always right about everything, even when they're absolutely 100% wrong.
"These people?" Are you talking about 90% of the programmers I've met in my life? Also, 90% of the lawyers, and 90% of the teachers, and 90% of the hippies, and 90% of the rednecks......let's face it, people just don't like to be wrong.
The average time spent casing a house before burglary is significantly longer in the US than in disarmed nations like the UK and Australia.
Is there a citation for that? I don't even know how you'd collect that data.....ask the union representative of the National Collective of Home Invaders?
The problem is that getting the lower mastery level is giving administrators an excuse to say he is doing it wrong, and to push him around. If got his numbers up, it would give him the power to say, "no, my way is right."
And I think he can do it, he actually seems like a really good teacher.
There is some truth, I am not getting the target 90% mastery. I am closer to 85%.
Here is your problem, it's why the administrators are starting to micro-manage you. First focus on reaching their goals, hitting mastery for 90% of the students (actually try to do better, and get 95%), and then you will be free to start adding more interesting things to the class.

That's why we come to Slashdot......so I can say something, and everyone can respond and tell me how stupid I am.

I stand corrected.
So you contradict your own premise.
No. It seems unreasonable that population growth will continue forever.
No economist ever believed that never-ending growth is possible. I don't even know why you think that.
As a more practical measure, as long as the population is growing, the economy can grow.

Thankyou so much. I think. Maybe. Maybe not. Or.....

Disney is so much better at it than everyone else.

I do not see how that question makes sense in this context
What website is there with security that can't be penetrated?
Don't consider things online to be safe.
That's a good citation.

The Slashdot summary removed the "micro" symbol, so it should have been 80um x 115um.
It should also be emphasized that it was the smallest ink jet printed picture, because some of these are probably smaller.
And Musk has a new fancy battery factory, perfect for selling to VW.

And I think he can do it, he actually seems like a really good teacher.
That would immediately put me at 97% mastery. Yes, I have run the numbers; I just consider them to be dishonest.
Then find an honest way to do it. You're a good teacher, you can do it.
There is some truth, I am not getting the target 90% mastery. I am closer to 85%.

This needs to be repeated over and over.
