Also, with most games now just online multiplayer with a few maps, development becomes much more simple. No need for AI when you have other humans to fill the niche. I guess I don't know for sure, but lack of any single player campaign mode probably really cuts down on development needs.
Same boat as you, but we need to go one step further. For those of us who know the proper way to use credit cards, many only GIVE you "cash" back.
Amazon Visa - 2% restaurants always (3% on Amazon)
Chase and Discover - Rotating 5% back on some categories
That is free money.
Personal note... cash is just too much of a hassle for me. I don't like always having to make sure I have enough in my wallet and dealing with change, so we usually just do credit card. I haven't run into any issues with companies knowing what I spend my money on. In some cases I get relevant coupons that actually help.
This game is definitely of a slower pace. Maybe it's because I'm getting older, but I've enjoyed that pace just fine.
Besides fast travel, you also have "Cinematic Travel"... it is basically auto-steer... set a waypoint, and you can set the controller down and enjoy the (very well done) scenery as it takes you to your destination. I've not seen that in a game before, but I don't play a ton of games, so it has probably been done before.
FYI, everyone, they are all like this. Managers at this level can rationalize ANYTHING. I've seen managers rationalize leaving work to put there kids to bed, then returning to work. I've seen managers rationalize when their kids are in college telling them "you always put your job ahead of your kids".
This kind of sums things up nicely for the middle manager part... The Gervais Principle
I really wish someone else would have posted this near the top. Most comments are totally combining them into one kid and the whole discussion is really muddled.
FPR is too high, it can send a lot of people for further treatment some of which will go wrong
This can't be correct. No one would be sent to treatment with something that has anything but a very low FPR. You would send to them to get further diagnosis with something that has a extremely low FPR.
This would make life so much better. The key step you have in there is the very first step... analyze yourself first. Self awareness just isn't a thing for some people. I know I fail at it a lot.
I have a hard time believing that partial automation isn't a net win.
I would imagine that these "driver assist" technologies are helping reduce accidents or their severity. Or are we meant to believe these car companies are adding these features that are causing more accidents?
Partial automation only has to slightly decrease accidents for it to be a win.
So if any single one of these driver assist technologies saves one single accident from happening (total net accidents), he's been proven wrong.
Mastering emotions and not letting things fester are not mutually exclusive. Many times mastering emotions can be about respecting other people around you.
Here is an example of mastering emotions.
Mastered emotion:
Discussing with a co-worker why they upset you in a meeting after reflecting a bit
Non-Mastered emotion:
Throwing a chair in a meeting while cussing up and down why they upset you
Current MacBook Pro keyboards are ok for "on the go" EXCEPT the lack of physical escape key. That absolutely destroys my very quick keyboard based gui navigation in any application. Hopefully the new ones are a bit more quiet as well.
Thank you for the thoughtful input on this. Do you have links to what you asked on Slashdot? I couldn't find it after looking a couple places. I'm happy to accept my failure to find it with a "lmgtfy" response : ) It would be very interesting to see the analyze the comments in those threads.
I have a question on this. Do we think the straws that end up in the oceans/lakes are from people that throw them away appropriately? Or are they from people that throw things away on the street?
For example, do you need to "carry your own straw" or "not use a straw" in a restaurant as long as you make sure to throw it away in the trash can?
If I put my straw in a trash can at McDonald's, what are the chances it will end up in a lake? Instead of in the landfill along with it's cup I put in the McDonald's trash can?
I am talking about my personal responsibility. I realize "make all straws paper" allows deviants to throw there trash on the streets.
Another question, will people throw straws away on the streets MORE if they know they are biodegradable? Yikes!
In the US, we like ice in our drinks. Many of us like lots of it. We like ice cold drinks. I prefer straws because it helps get around all of the ice. It can be difficult to sip through a lot of ice with no straw. Don't Europeans have less ice in their drinks usually? I've only visited Germany, but I remember ice wasn't really much of a thing. Also, I'd bet I'm not the only one that has been smacked in the face with an glob of ice as it released from the bottom of the cup if I have to do the "tip and sip" method. I do dispose of my straws properly, so maybe I've earned my environment destroying right to use straws?
"...young people, especially the post-90s generation, are reluctant to work overtime -- they are more self-centered," says labour rights expert Li Jupeng
Not wanting to work overtime is considered self centered? China will thrive even more with young people that finally understand that life is much more than your job.

How are you going to get your stuff from Pirate Bay now that the pirates can't rip Netflix streams? (end sarcasm)

You are paying with your time. I realize that has zero value to some people, but to others, it is worth way more than money.

Someone should probably let the pirates know. I'm sure they'd like to comply.

Likewise, if get pissed at google play, i can get apps somewhere else.
You kind of made one of the obvious counter arguments to your own post by leaving out a key word in this sentence. You really meant to say...
Likewise, if get pissed at google play, i can get *Android* apps somewhere else.
Because if you don't have the word Android in there, or "iPhone" in Apple's case, things fly completely out the window.
It will be interesting to see how this plays out because saying someone has a monopoly on "iPhone Apps" seems like a bit of a stretch to me.
So you countered his "companies are not moral" with an example of a company being "horrifically not moral"?
I'm missing something probably, sorry.
Doesn't matter who you appeal to.
It is the first example:

How do we educate the masses so they do this automatically?
Well, I was going to say with Bots that trick people into thinking it is a social norm to verify data, but we certainly can't do that anymore.

and some can even use the command line on Apple - with help from great granny if needed
This is beautiful. Thank you for sharing!
This is probably just the next Death Star from Episode 9. There is no way they are going to produce two episodes in a row with no death star.

Profits double and Amazon raises Prime membership fees. Why? Because they can.
Thank you, this is a good point to remember.
Do they really need a reason to raise the prices other than "people will pay more"?
So they didn't raise the prices previously because they were just being nice?
