This is a pretty good articulation of a post I drafted, then deleted, because I wasn't sure how to frame my viewpoint. I tend to approach this from a development angle. Not a game developer, but my first career was software development. Users (in this instance gamers) are good at using software...

That's pretty much how every large studio understands their audience these days because very few gaming execs really have their finger on the pulse through first hand experience anymore. And when they do, it's generally niche genres with their own microculture. Which I would argue is actually...

One thing that hasn't been heavily covered is that the outbreak in SC started with and is still largely impacting communities of recent Ukrainian immigrants. Way back in 2008 they had a false news link between bacterial meningitis and the measles vaccine in Ukraine. These people are vaccine...

Per the developer website, it's because it has to spend so much time encoding JPEGs for the MJPEG stream.

This looks promising to me. I'd love to know how the assisted driving system stacks up to the rest of the EV space. I have an older Tesla and I would love to get rid of Elon, but everything else I've tried in that regard is trash so far (I don't care what the Internet likes to say--it works very...

Have you upgraded your firmware? Is the OS type set to UEFI Windows? Have you reset TPM? Is Trusted Computing enabled? Is Security Device Support enabled? Have you tried a full factory reset of the BIOS?

Very much this and it has ALWAYS been true. In the run up to the Civil War throughout the 1830s, 1840s, and 1850s, for instance, John C Calhoun framed his entire political belief and defense of slavery on states' rights. He also argued up until his death for the Fugitive Slave Act and believed...

This isn't real. While one pedal driving is possible, most EV users still use the brake for every stop. That muscle memory isn't gone. They are just used to very quick deceleration and see it as an advantage of EV because in the event of a true hard brake, they have much less further to travel...

One of the biggest advantages of an EV is no direct carbon emissions, ever. No hybrid does that.

I don't see this passing muster in court, but I hope they win and with it get back the Twitter domain name.

My suggestion there has nothing to do with this specific use case. I'm just over lenient laws that companies can openly ignore because the profits outweigh the punishment for everyone involved. Data privacy isn't unique in that regard. Nor is the tech industry. Every major social media company...

That's a fixable problem. I guess this this the impasse in the debate for me. I don't actually have a problem with this. No one has a right to anonymous social media usage IMO. I am fine with federal US law (and hopefully international cooperation) that: 1) Requires online services to have...

That's essentially what ISO 18013-5 aims to do at the device / account level. The device can tell websites and apps that the current user is above an appropriate age threshold without actually divulging someone's age. All the recipient of the data would know is that you are at least the minimum...

This is extremely hyperbolic. We are talking about only in school. They are supposed to be focused on learning in school. Why exactly do they need more avenues of communication during that specific time? If it’s a school wide emergency, a student is best served by focusing on their own safety...

Once again you are assuming an implementation that does not have to be. That's not really an argument against age-restricted social media usage. It's an argument against a specific way to implement that others have already pointed out there are technical solutions for. Every social media...

Maybe this is the real hot take, but... why not both? Hold companies accountable for the impacts of the content they push, both to minors specifically and everyone broadly. Hold parents accountable for what they allow their children to do that is harmful. Also, phone bans in all K12 schools are...

So I'm of the mind here that no one is owed access to social media and that it is the government's job to protect broader public interest and not users of social media. If you don't want to provide validation data to them, then don't. You don't have to participate online. There are also ways to...

Mobile is half of all gaming revenue. There's a ton of money to be made on mobile, but the way it is done is microtransactions that essentially force you to regularly pay to play. Not all games lend themselves well to designs that allow for that kind of monetization and even if it does it's fair...

It does not need to be. Congress has the power to stop this, if Americans just give them that power.

I will point you to this article Ars recently ran: https://meincmagazine.com/civis/threads/dna-and-jolts-of-electricity-get-people-to-make-optimal-antibodies.1510028/ In the comments I specifically talked about its usage as a possible way to get people's immune system creating specifically...
