  1. I hope those in power learned on After Brexit, More Than 100 Firms May Move To Ireland (mirror.co.uk) · · Score: 3, Insightful

    That you should not try to force people into what you want.
    Brexit, Trump, the shit will keep happening over and over and over again until you learn how to talk to people like adults.

    And replace everything for references to someone that actually deserve it like Roberta Williams?
    In terms of real impact on the gaming industry as a whole, a day of work of Ms.Williams was more influential than the whole life of those three combined.

    Most of the power of the alt-right actually comes from liberals running away from the social justice insanity, and as soon this liberals find some good footing, both alt-right and control-left are screwed beyond imagination.
    I imagine the alt rights will indeed go the KKK way, while the control left will shrink and get more and more insane at a point they will became an actual terrorist group.

  4. Re:This is... quite underwhelming on Nintendo Switch Uses Nvidia Tegra X1 SoC, Clock Speeds Outed (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    Yet PS4 seems to struggle to get to this magical frame rate, while WiiU have most of its first party titles running at 60 fps.

    Comparing Gflops like that is not very wise.
    The only instance of the system actually running we had (the jimmy fallon show) actually shows it outperforming the WiiU quite easily by delivering a solid 30 frames per second performance, while WiiU is full of hitches and drops under 20 fps on any sort of onscreen explosion, while the switch don't drop a single frame on those.
    Of course, could be that the game in general is more optimized if compared to the last build we seen on WiiU, and also you can't see how far the switch can go as the game is using the same assets as the WiiU version and capped to 30 fps.

  6. Re:Slower than a smartphone? on Nintendo Switch Uses Nvidia Tegra X1 SoC, Clock Speeds Outed (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    While running ports that don't use the OGL 4.5 extra features, extra memory available on the system and well actually use Open GL probably via a wine-like wrapper for DirectX instead of a low latency API like the one found on the Xbox 360 yes.

  7. In this case its quite justifiable.. on Twitter Will Hand Over Data On the User Who Sent a Seizure-Inducing Tweet To a Journalist (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    After all, it is causing actual real harm.
    But also there should be some sort of seizure protection extension for the browsers.

  8. If you liked the third party games of the snes era, you're pretty much hosed, because not only all characters of that era are pretty much dead, as the focus on making a good gameplay by itself is dead.

  9. Re:Slower than a smartphone? on Nintendo Switch Uses Nvidia Tegra X1 SoC, Clock Speeds Outed (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    It's not comparable to an smartphone because it can use a low level API that have access to all the Open GL 4.5 level shader commands etc available on the maxwell cores, while smartphones are crippled hard by the Open GL ES 2.0 API, that don't allow even some common Open GL 2.1 features like floating point textures.
    So even if a smartphone is theorically faster, it still can't do the same things, like running the full profile UE4 engine.

    They still got a way or two of controlling the black population for free, but it's not as easy as on the old times.

  12. Re:America hates Hillary Clinton on Electoral College Elects Donald Trump As President (nbcnews.com) · · Score: 1

    Nobody was caring about the popular vote, Not the parties, nor the electors.
    So it's not a good representative of what the number would be if the election was by the popular vote.

    But the fact a lot less democrat voters went to actually vote can be a good indication of something.

    The current team of the .net is good and smart, but if some higher up decides that "they should focus more on getting direct profits", they might get forced to revert all this and go full oracle.

    You think they come from some portal to hell?
    They are made of regular people that got caught into a "safe space" that "taught the undisputed truth" until becoming what they are.
    Germany was the perfect safe space to make something like nazism grow, because they could literally cut out any opposition and make people only hear their side of the story.
    Yes, your approach did work well back then because there was no such thing as the internet, so you could just round up everyone with the wrong opinion and toss some nukes at their heads.
    Now? now you can basically get people in germany and defuse nazism before it even have the chance to exist instead of letting they grow, organize, kill millions etc etc etc...
    But on the same token you can create it the same way.
