The autonomous part is troubling. People have been using drones to attack other people for over 5 years at least (I remember reading reports about the Taliban using drones in Afghanistan in 2015).

The video on the STM site is kind of lame (it shows a drone detonating a cluster munition after homing in on a high contrast target with humans spaced around it. That isn't to say that is the limit of its capabilities but it doesn't inspire confidence either.

All in all this has been a surprise to exactly nobody however. Given the cameras these things use are easily damaged by only moderately high powered lasers (like the ones used in laser light shows at rock concerts) I expect we'll see optical counter measures fairly quickly. Then there is the whole "emp gun" stuff that was being shown at the UAV conference in Las Vegas in 2018 to consider as well.

All in all a sad step toward more varied ways of killing each other. Sigh.

I recently re-installed Kairosoft's "Game Dev Story" on my Android phone because I needed a good distraction from the world.

I had to uninstall it years ago because it was shocking how easily I became hooked!

I had no idea they were making games all the way back in 1997, but it makes perfect sense in hindsight: Game Dev Story is a masterful execution of this type of game and might even be a Magnum Opus of sorts for Kairosoft. Even if this type of game is not your cup of tea, it's interesting to check out if you're familiar with the history of video games.

If it wasn't getting late on a Sunday night, I would be booting into Windows to give Bookstore Story a try, but I know if I do I might be up until 3 am...
Nobody actually wants Elba. A few people fixated on one person even though there are a dozen more age appropriate candidates, white or black.

The next Bond is more likely to be Cavill, Madden or hell John Boyega (*previously said Winston Duke, but he's American) than Elba.
How often could something like that be written about an event in an american city?

I’m not trying to say there’s equivalent danger, but these kinds of things happen all over the world even in “safe” places.
"I appreciate that you're trying to be competitive, and it is a generous offer you have presented. The problem we have is, as you know, that I had pictured something different from a company with your resources. I have shared with you how I arrived at that. If you're not willing to share your process, how can I trust you have my best interest in mind?"

Any good negotiator on the other side of the table would eventually throw you a bone if you are nice, don't relent, ask for reasonable things (if I sign up for you to own the fruits of my labour, I want to know I'm being cared for), and apply the right amounts of awkward silence.
It's obviously he means drug cartels, not cartels in general
That's true but I'm very skeptical that a notable portion of the worth of a currency rests on that. Like I said in another comment, I think there have been plenty of "commodity currencies" (salt, shells, gold) that have attained value as currencies in spite of lacking these things.

It sounds like the GP may have played with non-family members, but not retained the memories. The Monopoly games you don't remember are the ones you really need to worry about.
This is a very idealistic point of view. At the end of the day sports for viewers is entertainment. Athletes make their money by entertaining the audience. They can do this with their skill only and many do. That however is not a path of making the most out of their career financially.

Fighters are literally going against the clock of getting permanent severe brain damage before they retire need to make as much money as fast as possible. What Connor did is the best move a fighter could do. Be as entertaining as possible, outside the ring and inside. Retire with hundreds of millions.

If Islamic terrorist groups were a major factor in destroying and destabilizing a country it’s a wonder Saudi Arabia is still standing.
The problem with this corporatist neoleftist thinking is that "the west" are the victims too. Thousands and thousands of people in "the west" were killed or horribly damaged by the war. And they were forced to pay trillions of dollars for it. And like clockwork, the elites will tell those people they are to blame for it, they must pay reparations, they must bear more burden of taking refugees, etc.

The actual people who should pay reparations are the war profiteers and those who lied and committed crimes to start these wars.

Ketamine has much lower potential for addiction than, say, alcohol or opiates.
This comment is very late, but maybe you'll see it in your threads. They discovered the pool of heroes didn't take exponential amounts of growth to increase, despite the pick possibilities moving up exponentially. That was one of the results of their blog - training each new hero was a linear increase in difficulty. They stopped at 18 because that's how many they had trained when the competition start date hit.

For the limitations, divine raiper and bottle are items with unique interactions. Divine rapier drops on death, and bottle has unique interactions with elements on the map that require interacting with the environment in a specific way.

Illusions are the same as LeBlanc's Mirror Image skill. Just copies of the hero that either deal no or limited damage, but can't cast spells. Likely they'd have to train the model to include a evaluator on the likelihood of a unit being an illusion rather than a hero.

Couriers bring items from the shop in base to your hero, so you don't have to return to shop. They are killable however, and if they are holding items when they are killed those items will be inaccessible for 3 minutes. They made them invulnerable because the bots would re-buy items that were inaccessible. Invulnerable couriers can be exploited however, thus the rule.

Scan is a global ward that only tells you whether or not someone is in the area (doesn't give you vision), and lasts 5 seconds.
One of the reasons why I stopped watching sports was the annoying reporters, broadcasters, and announcers, as well as ridiculous chyrons, graphical effects and general ADD style eye candy constantly thrown at you and also interrupting the flow of the game.

The worst is in the olympics, where they have maybe 100 hours of coverage of which maybe 10 is showing the sport and the rest are various life stories, replete with mood music and weeping parents holding up handwritten signs with clenched fists as Tammy begins her first uneven bar routine.

I might get into sports again if they just showed live sports with zero commentary but good camera work. And I still ocassionally go to a live sports game to, you know, watch the sport without anyone buzzing in my ear.
What does “destroying and destabilizing a country” have to do with the premise (fear of traveling to Iraq)? Genuine question.

Disagree strongly. The media would be robbing the world of the possibility to view the best possible demonstration of the sport.

That's the media being a problem, controlling the narrative, it's nothing to do with the athlete.

> It's the transaction fees that get distributed to all the other coin holders that makes it a pyramid or MLM scheme.

This is embarrasing. I will give you more info in case you are geniunely wrong and not playing dumb.

This is the last mined BTC block:
https://www.blockchain.com/btc/block/00000000000000000001d85...

The fees collected for transactions is 0.15 BTC and the mining reward is 6.25 BTC. Mining rewards will continue declining and some day the only value of mining will be those fees, but until now they have been largely irrelevant to the point that some miners just mined empty block because it was simpler from a technical standpoint, and it was becoming a problem because it just generated congestion in the network: https://bitcoinmagazine.com/business/why-do-some-bitcoin-min...

So you may think it's a scam for other reasons, but your point about mining fees being the driving of the pyramid, ponzi or whatever, is completely wrong.
Some cartels in Mexico govern way better than the Federal government there.

So, funny joke, but we'd be better off inviting them to the UN and sternly demanding that they codify their random executions into some form of law that they follow consistently.
This is a very cool find.
> Say instead of using a bank to store your money you store it on the blockchain. Suddenly you don't have to worry about Wells Fargo opening accounts in your name and charging you fees for those accounts.

Great you solved a very specific problem and replaced it with a myriad of other problems. Who is gonna take care of your private key? Are you really that confident in your tech skills that you can keep the private key to your money safe? I am not. If someone else issues and protects your private key, what’s stopping them from charging you fees for nothing (or spending all your money).

> There would be a public record of all charges the smart contract billed you for

I as a bank customer have exactly zero interest in my transactions being “public” (I know they would be pseudonym, still pretty risky). The risks I imagine coming with this outweigh the supposed advantages by a lot.

> tracking the history of it would be way easier than piecing together your Wells Fargo statements

I don’t know in which century you live but I have a history of all my transactions of all my bank accounts in the interface of my budgeting tool. I can immediately see if there is a suspicious charge. But maybe you have a recommendation for a blockchain based budgeting tool that lets me see details of every transaction, rather than public keys.

> This also would be much easier for auditors and financial crime investigators to notice.

If it was so easy to investigate shady things on the blockchain why aren’t all these pump and dump scammers and ransomware groups in prison?

Ummm, could you elaborate on this? It sounds great but it's at the same time so foreign to me...
The idea that he’s incredibly incompetent is revisionist. These movies aren’t deconstruction, and shouldn’t be. The fun is when he’s able to get out of tough situations in the spur of the moment (my favorites, like Goldfinger and For Your Eyes Only show him in credible danger several times). Interestingly, this is something the Mission Impossible series did perfectly in their last movie, better than almost all Bond movies.

With that said, I really don’t think anybody is actually threatened by Bond being a white man. Like, people have lives to live.
they certainly do. Ever heard of saudi arabia? They also murder people all over the world, and they are much, much powerful than the petty drug cartels of mexico.
Yeah, it's really bad. If an item is out of stock, it lets you get to check out before telling you, right when you place the order.

It should be noted that tourism to Iraq's Kurdistan province has been going on for years, with a steady stream of backpackers entering from Turkey. That region is autonomously governed and has been relatively spared the violence of the rest of the country. But the opening of tourism to the south of the country is a surprising development.

Do you have a source for that? The article seems to contradict this, from what I understand Ketamine is used for cases of treatment-resistant depression, i.e. many kinds of medications have been tried and failed.
The transaction price does not reflect the true cost of the energy, nor does it reflect the negative externalities. When ~1/3 of BTC mining is powered by coal in Xinjiang, it's horrific for climate change (source: https://fortune.com/2021/04/20/bitcoin-mining-coal-china-env...). The power is cheap, in part because it does not include the externalities of the extreme CO2 emissions used to generate it.

>i don't place a utility judgement on the use of energy.

Attitudes like this are why staying under 2C of global warming is going to be a long shot at best.

>If somebody is willing to pay for their use of electricity, they deserve to use it.

A nice idea, but energy use affects us all. More fossil fuel burnt = more extreme climate change. For where I live, it means cyclones will hit land further away from the equator (and closer to larger population centres), overall rainfall will drop and bushfires will be more severe and frequent.

I feel justified in denigrating BTC because its colossal waste of power is a significant contribution to climate change. This has tangible harms to everyone on this planet.
The people most capable of taking the action items are assigned it. This could be expertise, resourcing, proximity, etc..

In an open discussion of the root cause, many times the issue is across multiple services / organizations within a company. You’d assign tasks appropriately across teams as needed. The key is to find and create actionables to address the root cause, not to punish / blame individuals.
CA must inarguably have the best education system in the world if all of these thousands techies fleeing the state were all natives.
Exploitation in the drug market happens in the reverse of what you think. The target market is the first world, because the product has maximal value there.

The positive externalities are all gained by the producer countries. Traffickers and coca producers have even risen to become major politicians in places like Venezuela and Bolivia. Meanwhile, negative externalities -- crime, addiction, and so forth -- get distributed to the consumer countries.

The product is addictive, so you can't exactly be surprised that consumers continue to buy it. It is all too common in Latin America to hear people complain about the big bad USA, but that line of reasoning is casual and has its limitations.

There’s also Pliny the Elder, in vino veritas (in wine there's truth, for the non-classicists in the audience).
To be clear, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Akinetic_mutism is a thing — without enough dopamine in your motor cortex, you're "paralyzed" in the sense that there's nothing you (or anyone else) can do to force your body to respond — sometimes even going as far as your body no longer having autonomous reflex responses to reflex-inducing stimuli, similar to someone who's been rendered unconscious.

I'm not a neurologist, but I imagine there's a spectrum there, where other less-severe neurological problem-states (like depression) can get you part of the way to akinetic mutism, and thus you may be fully "paralyzed" in the above sense some of the time, or partially "paralyzed" all of the time.
This seems to have been an unpopular comment, which is a little perplexing. I’m not endorsing or criticizing anyone/anything. Just pointing out that penalties usually escalate (in sport and elsewhere in society) after repeat breaches, to prevent people just treating fines as a cost of doing business.

Indeed, if Osaka wants this convention/rule to change, then the best thing to happen is for the penalties to escalate to something as extreme as her being forced out of the tournament (which is bad for everyone involved) to draw attention to the issue and create a movement for change.
This is a serious accusation you have no proof of, it doesn’t belong here.
The answer to your first question is no. It's still up to you to figure out which parts were propaganda and which parts were reality. The only distinction between a terrorist group or otherwise is sovereign immunity, if you succeed in getting a state then you aren't a terrorist anymore by definition of having political goals met.

And the answer to everything else is now you are familiar with the meme.

Enjoy the new valid experience you went your whole life unaware of.

The original article, the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/COVID-19_misinformation comments, and "urban" food security arguments, which rate near the necessity of cannibalism, distract from continuing to ban the most likely sources of zoonotic diseases and wildlife smuggling that are the wet markets.
The “free storage” was news to me when I heard they were ending it. Turns out this was only for images saved compressed (‘High’ vs Original quality). Since I don’t want my images altered at all I never used that option, and the change is not significant. I don’t recommend that you let Google apply lossy compression to your images to save space, either, unless your photos are not very important.

Science progresses one funeral at a time. Companies tend to do much better after they're forced to do layoffs. People who flip a coin and decide to make a major life change based on the flip rather than via careful deliberation end up happier on average. Etc.

Inertia is a bitch, and it congeals around everything that involves people, viciously if there are no counterbalancing forces. If catastrophe can help things get better in the long run it usually just means that the current processes suck and need fixing. Not super surprising, but worth paying attention to.
Send you to collections and ding your credit or perhaps even sue you.
the cartels in mexico are just powerful organized crime syndicates, involved in oil theft, human trafficking, local elections, various rackets, as well of course as drug smuggling. They would still fight for territory and control of key industries and would still be a state unto themselves.

Legalizing it in Mexico isn’t a solution since they aren’t selling to Mexican citizens for most of their profit. America and Europe are large, developed economies with wealthy middle/upper classes who like to do coke. I’m sure crack cocaine makes up a decent chunk too but I can’t imagine that the poor that partake in that make up even close of the same percentage as the wealthy coke consumers.
I think it comes down to economics. Countries are not islands. Poor countries and poor neighborhoods create a situation where people legitimatize criminal gangs. Many men may see that as the only way to gain any power.

In a country with more money, more opportunities and a vietual police and military monopoly on force the situation is different. We have many, many prisons in America. But think about what it was like in the prohibition era. I would argue that the biggest difference was actually economic.
