> Here's the definition of terrorism

Unfortunately not everyone agrees with the FBI's definition of terrorism. The FBI's definition of International terrorism depends on a list of organizations more-or-less arbitrarily assembled by politicians. Their definition of domestic terrorism is even looser.

Basically, both definitions are "violent criminal acts [waffle]". That definition is circular, because terrorism is criminal.

The word should be banned from newspapers and from political and legal discourse. Broadly speaking, it means "political activities of which we disapprove".
This isn't a matter of "rather" - nothing is stopping developers from making those very same games on a more powerful system.
Calling out undesirable behavior and demanding people act better is how society improves. See things you don't like, campaign for change. Zealotry or activism - the label depends mostly on whether you agree with the cause.

That you have no legal basis to enforce those demands does not mean that you cannot make them. They can be ignored of course but they may not be. Not all interactions have to be governed by a literal contract as opposed to a social contract.
Problem with emulators is that at some point they will fail you, and you will lose some saves.
>We would have to outlaw birth control as the current rate of replacement would not be enough if half our children died by the age of 5

We could also make rising children less of an obstacle. If you build the infrastructure around rising children so that rising 2 children is not a full-time job, then parents would get more children.
Outlook Patch Analysis Reveals Important Flaw in Windows API
This article is correct, although slightly outdated - Python has been shipping its own timezone library called zoneinfo to solve this specific issue[0]. On the various *nix systems it just uses your systems timezone data, but it will fall back on the tzdata pypi package it that's not available (for example on Windows you need it if I'm not mistaken.)

The games are what sells, not the hardware.

People who bought a Switch many years ago are still willing to buy new games. They may not all be willing to replace it so soon however if Nintendo release pretty much the same but with better resolution and framerate and the release of a new one would probably mean the stop of new release on the current gen.
A bit of context is that the FAA doesn't want plane crashes at all (unless you're NASA), even "safe ones" because of the public image, so it's extremely difficult to get a waiver for a stunt if there is a real risk of crashing an airplane, even if it's empty and as safe as possible, it's not about safety, it's about public image. People afraid of flying are a very difficult crowd to manage.
That's what I was thinking. Recently got myself a PS4 because they are really affordable now and god damn those loading times are obscene. About an hour to install new game on first disc load - didn't even connect to internet to skip downloading 10s of GB of updates.

Does it otherwise reference that at all? Google Ngrams has the phrase `_VERB_ into thin air` going back to 1599.
A smidgen is precisely defined ... just not in relation to another physical quantity. (And any one smidgen is not necessarily the same as another.)

The smidgen is defined by its effect. A smidgen of X is the precise amount of X that produces the desired taste. Obvious really.

Perhaps not "use", but the site where I publish my hobby software, still uses a design made in 1999. Slightly updated (now it uses CSS!) but still the same table based layout :-) Why? Well I guess have better things to do than constantly updating my site with the latest trends. It does its job. It's not mobile friendly, but my audience is mostly using a PC anyway. Somehow I imagine that it portrays an image that a my audience appreciates and matched my software.

Maybe we aren't, but the deeply ingrained believe that we are may certainly be useful. I hate lies or partial truths, but if the full truth is incomprehensible by our intellects, the best we can do is live with and by models and mantra's that are helpful in making the now a nice place to be.

Not that we should even give up the search for more truth, at least, that's one of my mantras.

It would not definitely count as defective, and certainly not in a developing country where warranty laws are weaker and/or not enforced.

In my home country they'd probably laugh you off if you'd try to return an otherwise perfectly working device because a bloatware app showed you an illegal ad.

Pixel devices do this if you have an alarm set. Despite having a Pixel device, this doesn't work for me because I use a separate alarm clock (a daylight one). Instead, I just have an old, slow charger beside my bed.
That would be counterproductive. Game DEVs would optimize for docked mode primarily and it would clash with the usage of the customers. Many users like the Switch for its portability. My kids only dock the switch when they want to play dance games.
Yes. Now imagine e.g. dissolving pace makers or whatnot.

Everyday Data Science Book: Review and Notes
- "Bad smell" immediately invokes disgusting sensory experiences. It's intended to be ambiguous but it's not used this way.

- "Anti-pattern" is also ambiguous, because patterns have some bad uses, and anti-patterns have some good uses.

- And "Considered harmful" is also ambiguous. To consider something harmful is not the same as it being harmful, you're just considering it.

These phrases are used automatically and intend to sound authoritative about something being bad, period, despite their historical nuance and ambiguity. And frankly they're all disgusting and annoying at this point.

They show the author is more into clichés and clickbait, than substance.

YouTube critic Nerrel argues quite the opposite, that SS emphasizes a completely different set of the Zelda core values— it's about story/characters, elaborate dungeons and bosses each bursting with unique personality, and classical, linear item-unlock progression paths. Whereas BOTW isn't any of those things and prioritizes freedom, exploration, and emergent gameplay.

What is the revenue/profitability situation for Google's consumer electronics?

When Google originally got into the biz... with Android and earlier versions of this pixel range, the goal was to compliment search and such.

That did kind of work. Google's position is seemingly better than it would have been in a world where Apple (and msft?) dominate mobile OS.

That said... Google is still 80% ads, 10% cloud, 10% pixels. Is that 10% even profitable?

With the www increasingly decreasing and GPTs starting to eye web search's dominance as the way to access information...

Google's thousand flowers bloomed, then withered. Some came back stronger. None of them became meaningful businesses. I don't understand why.
The people who liked BotW the most are likely people who never really played many open world games, or none. To long time PC gamers it's nothing new of course.

I liked the style, I generally enjoy world exploration and that was fun in BotW, and there were many cool experiences scattered around, but it does end up feeling a little empty.

I still played it a ton mind you, but I don't consider it an important or ground breaking game the way many seem to.
A little too alarmist take to my liking, but it is nevertheless a good thing that he is calling others to join the lobbying (which he oddly calls "education").

While also GitHub seems to have done a decent job during the consultation, I'd take the genuinity of their position with a grain of salt due to the CoPilot fiasco. In fact, they are saying that "open source licenses disclaim all warranty, making explicit the expectation that any entity seeking to use or integrate the open source software bears responsibility to ensure its compliance with relevant laws". The pot calling the kettle black.

In my opinion the problem is this: company wants you to "show you are performing at an higher level" before giving you higher pay or a promotion, but this can take years in a mid to big sized company, and even performing at 200% your peers doesn't guarantee you get what you deserve, since most of the promotions in structured companies are not tied to performance whatsoever, but to networking and being supporters of your superiors (scientifically proven), only for salespeople performance in sale has been shown to be directly tied to promotion, but then they are also shown to be bad managers when they actually get promoted (too tied to pursuing their own agenda).

So companies want you to have faith in them to recognize your value sooner or later, but they don't give you any faith back in return, it's never the case that some HR manager says "oh let's give this guy a quick promotion, let's have faith in him!".

Another point, if one is a professional is supposed to do his job for the agreed rate and nothing more, nothing less so i should be evaluated in what my regular 8 hours of work are, and within the boundaries of my job description, nothing more, nothing less.

When you go to the butcher and order a 1kg steak, you pay precisely it's weight, not more, not less.
Let's stop normalizing this "go above and beyond thing", it's not working (most managers suck at their job, scientifically proven), just be fair with the employees and respect everybody's time.

Could you please read the article before typing?

The article is about research into non-immune system based adaptive systems of the body that reduce disease susceptibility - i.e why some animals and people can tolerate higher bacterial or viral loads without dying then others, and can we develop drugs which enhance these effects or augment them (i.e. giving glucose support to malaria infected rats which arr experiencing an overactive drop in glucose production due to natural responses to effects of malaria).

It's about therapeutic agents to boost survivability without looking directly at pathogen kill paths - it is admittedly weirdly titled.

> Lindy is pretty much just natural selection for ideas, right? It doesn't prove they are optimal.

You missed the point. Lindy law proves that being optimal is not necessary for an idea to be successful. Your association with natural selection is valid from this point of view, too.

Imagine when you actually need any of the features that PostgreSQL provides like pub/sub, logical replication, JSONB etc. With MySQL you might have to hack a solution that is much more complex or you have to set up an entirely separate tool. What I find nice with PostgreSQL is that for simple cases you can get away without a dedicated key/value store or a queue or a full text search engine. You can do a lot of these kinds of tasks with just a single database.

This trend could inadvertently play into the hands of giants like Amazon with Prime, Walmart with W+, and Costco, who can afford to offer free returns as part of their subscription packages. Not only does this keep their customers happy, but it also helps track potential return abusers more efficiently.
> I think for Nintendo, the more prudent solution would be to release an updated Switch with some more powerful hardware that's fully backwards compatible with the existing Switch library. It would be very par for the course for them, and assuage most of the complaints about the Switch being underpowered.

This could result in fragmentation: some games could only run smoothly on the new version.

I pretty like the idea of using old hardware and to require game dev to adapt to this.

Well that level of risk certainly applies to some risky instruments (say CDOs), but I'd say there is far less risk in VWRL say than speculating on the value of a plethora of currencies which are almost purely vehicles for speculation rather than used for everyday transactions.

Nope, the failure is of the individuals. Sure, regulators deserve some of the blame but nobody forced the individuals to put their money into such ridiculous schemes.
May I interject? The McKinsey Digitization Index shows shockingly low engagement in the Healthcare, Government and Related sectors and small business is desperate for you to help then save money and better engage with their customers. The Business Automation (niche?) or whatever you want to call it is booming. Lawyers, Plumbers, Gardeners etc all need data gathering and massaging to increase their profits etc. Getting lists of Plumbers in your area and making them and offer via Valpak (with a 90% open rate) may lead to surprising results. The data is free, the US Gov has tons of info and it applies here in a big way. It's easy to find and package....
There’s a general problem with low friction transactions being used to exploit people with diminished capacity, particularly when intermediaries are involved (another common one in UK is signing them up for multiple phone contracts) and there may be some regulatory innovation possible in this area. Punishment after the fact is not sufficient if it doesn’t adequately prevent this population being exploited.
