Kind of creepy? She's a 40-year-old woman. Honestly once both participants are over the age of 35 you are an insufferable busybody if you even notice what people are doing together. Who fucking cares, if people can't be trusted to handle their own business by that age then we may as well be...

It may be a socialist "ideal", whatever that means, but surely the concept of a government controlling where its internal corporations/guilds/clans operate predates socialism. It's too simple to have originated in the 1880s.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_supremacy The lower limit of the resources required scales more slowly with quantum computers than with classical computers, putting solutions for some classes of problems possibly within reach. I couldn't tell you specifically what phenomenon of quantum...

Your channel is your content, and your responsibility. Yes, comments are part of your channel, and part of your job.

Youtube is doing what their customers want. If the customers want the impossible, you either do it or find new customers (good luck with that.) But we already know it's not impossible, as there are plenty of videos that don't allow comments. And there is a system for approving comments, which...

Youtube is not fucking over creators. Advertisers don't want their ads appearing above a creepy pedo discussion. It's up to creators to make their content palatable to advertisers. That's not Youtube's job, it's the creator's job. Otherwise they can make money on patreon, or go be an IG star...

It's a free book on ray-tracing by the people who wrote all the editions of Real-Time Rendering (1st ed. 1999.) I don't see how this is anything other than awesome. The 2018 edition of RTR is $80 and this book is $0.

Even dumber, they're review bombing the previous games which are still available on Steam and already have a known level of quality.

("Middle-income" is up to $110,000 for a household, assuming an upper bound at 120% MHI) A few thousand units will make a difference. The question is if even a few thousand is possible.

Like IDA but open source and provided in as-is condition. Considering how expensive the full version of IDA is, even a raggedy alternative is nice.

There were console versions of Warcraft 2. Doesn't change the fact that between Starcraft 64 in 2000 and Diablo 3 in 2013, Blizzard released zero console games. And Starcraft 64 was a bad port on a dead system. You'd have to go back to at least 1998 to find an in-house Blizzard console game.

But the content goes up on youtube whether the owner wants it or not. That fucks up their negotiating position. If they could sue Google for infringing content they'd probably get a better deal.

And that's been true for basically 20 years now. I shudder to think of the wasted effort now contained in every Windows install, and it's even more horrifying to think of what it would take to identify and rip out all the useless parts.

That's such a bizarre way for two intelligence agencies to weigh in on this. "No reason to doubt" someone else's statement instead of acknowledging your own awareness? I get that it minimizes the release of your intelligence, but it's also leaving a giant unsightly gap to contort your statement...

No. The NSA intercepts shipments. This is supposedly a different method.
