In the case of DOA6, it was before the alleged Sony "censorship" rumors of recent years. So keep that in mind, DOA6 was released a couple of years ago.

The DOA6 example is almost entirely a case where Koei Tecmo wanted to be taken "more seriously" as an eSports game.

Now maybe you can argue that "eSports players don't play Dead or Alive", and only "casual players looking for sexiness play Dead or Alive". But... I know that's not true either. Some of my friends who were into fighting games were "serious" about their Dead or Alive combos / practice regiments / matchups / etc. etc. There are plenty of serious players in that group.

On the one hand: you got the "casuals" who pay $1000 for hundreds of costumes (Dead or Alive 5 was very famous for its DLC costumes). "eSports" players didn't do this, because they were more focused on the combo practice rather than playing dress-up with these characters. (In contrast, the players who did find the characters sexy, probably did play "dress up" more often and were into buying these costume packs).

Frankly: its not a clear cut case. I could very well see Koei Tecmo wanting to appeal to the eSports players, hoping that it'd propel their game to newer heights in the "serious" eSports ring (ex: Marvel vs Capcom 3 / Street Fighter 4). Furthermore, the "casual" audience argued that they deserved more influence than the eSport ambitions BECAUSE they spent all of this money on DLC costumes with no in-game effect aside from "playing dress up".

---------

In contrast, Bandai's "Soul Calibur" series never really had this issue. Soul Calibur can remain "sexy costume / dressup" for casuals, because Bandai's "serious" esports game was Tekken. (And while Soul Calibur's "serious" players definitely held side tournaments, they were always seen as 2nd class citizens compared to Tekken at the eSports events).

---------

Nintendo's "Smash Ultimate" example is kinda funny, because its clear that Nintendo doesn't really want Smash Ultimate to be an eSports title (despite it taking up a big eSports following). Nintendo's eSports ambitions are Pokken Tournament (Pokemon fighting game) and Splatoon.

Despite not wanting to be an eSports title, Nintendo clearly is aiming the game at younger audiences, so various characters are a bit more covered up in Smash Ultimate (ex: Bayonetta, Pyra, etc. etc.)
I think downvoters assumed you were American and that your knowledge of USSR came from propaganda.
So you tear them down. Japanese housing, to name another example, is routinely torn down and replaced with new construction.

The problem is that much of the US makes it needlessly expensive to do the "tear down and replace with new construction" bit.
Immutability is at the heart of blockchain functionality. Everything involved requires it. So, you'ld have to throw it all out and try to invent something entirely different.
You make it sound like searching 1% of human knowledge is not a fucking big deal. The Harry Potter books created an awesome series of magic, with instant teleportation, flying objects and invisibility coats. Yet they had nothing comparable to Google, which would have destroyed the plots to at least 3 books since the answers could have been found trivially that way.
Autopilot issue contributed to naval helicopter crash that killed six
Their API is the same way. Instagram really hates its users and developers.
Pinterest is by the far the worst because it takes content from the rest of the world and strips away all context. It's the anti-wikipedia, an information black hole.
I was thinking similarly in the "FU IG" thread.

The only way I see capitalism surviving long-term is if we can embrace data collection in all aspects of life and make it work for us to internalize negative externalitites on an ongoing basis.
Yeah, what's going on with this? If I did something wrong then just warn me first, because it comes out of nowhere and I have no idea what the hell is going on. How does it even work? Is it triggered automatically or what?

Hey dang, you mind explaining this?
So you want an echo chamber? I mean, that's fine if that's your goal but at least be direct. Also realize echo chambers are bad - they reinforce opinions on an identity basis, not a truth basis.

Censorship can still happen on private property. That does not, per se, determine right or wrong. Nobody objects that kids websites don't allow pornography.

We can also still object to censorship, even if it's on private property. You don't have some a right to be immune to criticism.

> If you have a 401k I guarantee you that a significant amount of your money was traded by an algorithm that if broken would have lost everything

How so? My 401k is invested in a fund that just owns a broad index of stocks, not an algorithmic trading hedge fund.
I'm not from the US but I have used kinda similar services before. Two kinds somewhat similar:

One is a service where the seller delivers all their cars to a local vehicle inspection service that goes through a checklist and any later faults in a part that was tested is under extended warranty. I'm not much of a fan since who the customer of the vehicle inspection site is can be argued both ways.

The other service is where the car gets delivered by the seller to a vehicle inspection site that is owned by a motoring association that the buyer is a member of (like ADAC in Germany for example). This service I have a high amount of trust in since they are "on my side", paid by me and will sometimes take dealers that misbehave to court (sort of like the EFF).

A service somewhere in the middle of these two I'm not sure I would trust. If I hire a local mechanic to look at a car for me how do I know he doesn't have a deal with the local seller? If he doesn't spot a fault will he pay to fix it when it breaks? if not, what am I buying?

In short: No, I would not use such a service unless it is backed by a trustworthy motoring association that is squarely on my side and who will go to court for or with me if needed.
My theory is that Instagram is probably trying to prevent bots capable of rendering pages and making changes on the DOM (e.g. Selenium or chromedp) from harvesting their unauthenticated access rights to Instagram's frontend to crawl/collect images.

Hence, as the author tried to circumvent it, they probably got IPbanned.
I dislike/hate facebook. I have no idea why anyone thinks they have a monopoly. I use social services just fine without FB services

Amazing? You mean despicable. Like pretty much everything Microsoft has ever done.
Although I have never published a blog, I sometimes thought about how I might do it if I did. The "comments" could be treated like "letters" (to the editor). Comments could be treated as submissions, subject to prior approval before publication in the next "issue" of the blog. The author of the blog (editor) would receive a copy of each comment, then decide whether to publish it. Human curation. (Of course the blog author could use automation to assist the review.) In sum, I would treat the blog similar to a pre-internet, printed publication. From what I have seen this is how we achieve some degree of quality control. (Most "content" on today's web is garbage.) However one thing I never liked about "letters to the editor" is that rarely are submissions published in their entirety or original form. Editors like to edit. As such, I would allow the public to publish, without prior approval, an ed25519 hash of their submitted comment on the blog. Then if after review the comment is published, they can claim attribution, and readers can be certain that the blog author did not edit the comment. If spammers or other people want to try to stuff obvious or hidden messages into ed25519 hashes, I think that would entertaining. There should be a bar that those submitting comments have to meet if they want to see their comment published. The blog author sets that bar. This is a service to the readers.
The pricing page doesn't make it clear why it's charged monthly, when it seems like this should be a one-time thing. What happens if I pay for a month, get all the opt-outs, and stop paying?

My cynicism says that an unethical service in your position could hold my identity hostage and immediately re-publish anything as soon as I stop paying. I'm sure you're not doing that, but forgive me for thinking it; we're talking about an entire industry that rests on ethics that many of us would consider stalking and should be profoundly illegal, so the possibility of such behavior is palpable! So, it would be good to explain or clarify _that_ you're not holding me hostage, and lay out the value proposition for an ongoing subscription to what feels like a one-time event.
to me it sounds idiotic. i guess if you consider idiocracy a dystopia. "the computer did the auto-layoff thing and now we don't have any money!"
What if you were treated with the decency to not risk a horrible death because a politician's side paycheck is determined by how cheap a companies workers could be paid?
"reliance on rare earth minerals" There are plenty in the ground. Some in hard to get to (politically/socially) places. They can be recovered from devices if that is a design criterion.

Windmills are generally made from metals which are recyclable, silicon is the major ingredient of solar cells - most common mineral on the planet. But they can be recycled too.

There is a lot of toxic waste generated using current technology, these are developing technologies which gives us a opportunity.

Having a fetish for the free market will not help. All this requires planning, and markets do not make plans.

There are various quotes about robots at Google, but the picture labeled "Google" is of an ordinary tape library (looks like a StorageTek / Oracle library). If Google has built robots, that's not one of them.
Datashader isn't really meant to be used by itself. Take a look at this holoviews example [1] for a better implementation. That said, I did find the API to have some sharp edges and a few missing features. And there is something to be said for simple syntax. But datashader / holoviews might be a good reference for where you want to go.

just what i've said in the post. deck syncing is error prone, card creation can be tedious and unintuitive for most, and general ui is dated among other issues.

I've thought about this in the past too, and come to the conclusion it is too difficult. Part of what I don't like about ECS is that it's too dynamic, you can't add static typing like this.

Sure, you can say that a "Skeleton" entity has an HP component, an AI component, etc. But there's no way of enforcing static typing on this.

Say you have some function that takes an Entity, validates it's a Skeleton, and then returns a SkeletonEntity which is just a wrapper around Entity for static typing purposes. Perhaps add some helper methods for fetching components, allowing you to operate on an OOP-like API with very little runtime cost. Seems like it works.

But there's no way to guarantee the skeleton STAYS as a skeleton for the future. You might add another thing later on that converts an entity with AI into FriendlyAI, and your SkeletonEntity implicitly relied on the AI being a SkeletonAI. Heck, you can't trust _any_ Entity. That handle to an entity you have might not even point to an Entity anymore, it could've been deleted.

ECS is very dynamic, which is great for designing open-ended games where you don't/can't plan every interaction in advance. It also has great performance, and is typically the _only_ sane way to implement games in a language without inheritance (I don't think Composition + Interfaces is very scalable). But for heavily structured games that want tight coupling between entities, it relies on you implicitly keeping your promises about what an entity means. You can't go and add new behavior that modifies existing entities later on - The compiler won't warn you, and you may end up crashing your program at runtime, unless you were very diligent about adding checks in your code for the coupling you assumed existed, and having good fallbacks for one those assumptions are violated.
This is derangement. Byuu spent all of their time maybe ‘poorly’ dealing with harassment along with being a huge contribution to emulation circles, you’re equating cancel culture to them for what reason? Because they didn’t say anything about your favorite conservatives? This logic goes nowhere and so there’s simply no discussion to get out of this. God knows how many social or financial conservatives are on this site and still no one believes you.

I’ve seen the thread myself, this was not gossip and you guys do not act as moral arbiters just because one end of ‘cancel culture’ didn’t harass a key developer in emulation just because they were transgender. I’m not even going to entertain the ‘pedophilia’ claim. You people aren’t fooling anyone here, you can’t even fool /vr/.
Thank you, I always appreciate a thoughtful critique.
old.reddit.com is clearly beginning to rot:

1. The new Reddit seems to have a different markdown parser which allows surrounding unindented code with ``` lines. This doesn't render on old Reddit.

2. New Reddit seems to be saving links with escaped underscores and correcting for it at render time? I've started to see people posting broken links like https://example.com/some\_path\_with\_underscores when it should be https://example.com/some_path_with_underscores

3. Posts with multiple images sometimes don't work? I haven't been inconvenienced enough by this yet to investigate.
Yes and if any of those make mistakes, the trades can be rolled back with human intervention.
I'd go so far to say that by 2030, at least one OECD country will have a law requiring ISPs to enforce remote-attestation of the Secure Boot of every device accessing the internet.

Such a government could then require app stores to remove "dangerous" technologies like Tor and messaging apps that support end-to-end encryption.

Perhaps ISPs would be allowed to support "legacy" devices and OSes, but with a special "Evil Bit" set on packets, so that websites could (and in some cases would be required to) refuse access.
The funniest, most ironic part is the ad at the top of the page, "Earn up to 12% APY on Bitcoin, Ethereum, USD, EUR, GBP, Stablecoins & more."

I'm so tired of people manipulating others and telling them to throw their savings into "Stablecoins" for 5-12% APR. Pure insanity.
That sounds less coerced than bought. If so, the promised reward involved doesn't change what "consent" means, it only changes where breach of contract might occur.

Oh good lord the first two paragraphs. Are you really going to "think of the children" this issue while immediately roasting your rhetorical adversary for making decisions based on what they thought at the time was best for the safety of children?

This is sure to be one of many articles that use the benefit of hindsight to paint policymakers and scientists who were being cautious, deferring to the scientific consensus as it was best understood at the time, and operating with very little very messy real life data as deceivers because they didn't magically know everything from the beginning.

Misc comments:

It's not okay to just say that only the old, fat, and vulnerable are at risk of dying so why should everyone else have to take all these precautions? The lack of empathy is staggering.

"Stay at home orders" didn't literally mean stay confined to your house at least around here. You could go outside at literally any time during the past year regardless of orders.

Moving the goalposts and "covering up their failures" has another less-pejorative name "updating your recommendations based on research and data." If you're upset that scientists didn't tell the public "here's our recommendation based on the data we have -- it's probably not perfect so you should just not listen to us and go with your gut" I don't know what to tell you. Everyone was sanitizing everything at the beginning of the pandemic until it came out that transmission was basically entirely airborn then everyone stopped. Those flip-floppers working for Big Purell.
That's an interesting way to phrase it. I get that this is a play off of the "This X doesn't exist.", where X is a machine-generated entity such as a picture of a cat or the bio for a person.

If by "chemical" you mean "substance (as represented by this molecule)" and if by "exist" you mean "hasn't been made yet," then it might make sense.

"This substance (as represented by this molecule) has not been made yet" doesn't have the same ring to it, though.

Molecules are abstractions. Leaky ones at that.

IIRC, it's basically just that if she leaves Anki up on her Macbook without explicitly syncing & exiting, and then tries to use her iPhone or iPad, she will lose state on one of the devices.

It's a lot of cognitive overhead to remember not to touch Anki on any other devices unless you've synced and closed it out on the most recently used one.

Since she has a ton of cards, syncing takes a while. And occasionally it just throws a random error.

Moreover, there's a sense of fear every time she uses Anki that she will hit the wrong button and lose her expected state.
Why not just have a version 1 smart contract, that inside of it has an amount check that, if passed, rewrites the smart contract (or issues a new one) - version 2 - that rectifies the problem?

So people who "agree" with the change can just insta-exchange their cash, and those who don't can keep their cash on version 1. Then you don't have bugs like this as easily anymore.

This whole thing will no go very far without something like an update system. The old C programmers would laugh their ass of at a code-once-and-hope mentality.

EDIT: And by rewrite I mean like how OTA updates "rewrite" things, have a coin-bootloader or something that takes care of it.

Services which involve nothing but data, and thus still fall under the category of "data moving over borders". And, consequently, freedom of speech.

I agree, it's hard to imagine a payload that could withstand the g-forces required to reach space through a centrifuge launch. I think what interests investors is that in the low likelihood they succeed, they could create an order-of-magnitude reduction in launch costs.

Is the way that Twitter links often fail to load on the first several tries (then finally, mysteriously, work as if nothing happened) one of these "force you to log in and use the app" dark patterns? It's been that way for years now, so I have to think it's not accidental.

Yes, but as a matter of policy, all English language descriptions of what you did will have some wiggle room for interpretation. For something as serious as changing another person's words, you should have a special code path, like text in a special color that says "edited by moderator." Seeing that someone's post was edited shouldn't require expanding a reply and interpreting it, since editing someone's speech is far more delicate and prone to catastrophic outcomes than merely suppressing it.
