Microsoft is looking to butt in on the pc gaming market with their new Xbox project I wonder if it has something to do with that.

That’s the problem with a C- in economics. If you sit behind that person and decide you’re going to just try to write the opposite of what they do you’re going to get an F

Yes. You should have to censor yourself for neighbors and peers to have a functioning society. You should not have to do it for corporations. The line is pretty cut and dry and we should fight to keep it.

Real question: what on earth does “on the street” mean in the tech startup world? Because I have a strong suspicion that “on the street” means just going to work a normal job like 300 million other people even despite personal anecdotes of one or two people who literally became homeless.

You could write a cool metaphor in which it’s obvious that time travel is able to fix everything, but billionaires and their government shills insists that some bad things have to happen (only to their enemies) and they have to control it.

This is real. Despite being comfortable being single it still draws looks when I go out and do things by myself. Getting told “it’s sad” when I go to a bar alone to read a book only hurts because I’m getting called sad by a weirdo, not because I felt bad about going out.

Lol “4chan is the biggest website out of all the websites identical to 4chan”

“but some day I might! And then people like me better watch their step!”

Aren’t all consoles?

Sorry, but it’s more like a crab apple.

It looks like an apple, it’s presented like an apple, it’s advertised like an apple because that is what makes the YouTuber money. But scientific methods and standards exist for a reason. It’s very easy to produce bad data and especially easy to extract bad conclusions from data if you have an incentive to do so (such as a fan base who might engage with the video less if the conclusions were against their expectations)

There’s a chance that this guy’s conclusions reflect what a proper study might have found, but it’s just too hard to tell if it’s a crab apple or not it’s essentially probably a little better than chance.

Only some of its entitlement. The man is clearly either extremely traumatized and depressed or showing signs of more serious mental issues like schizophrenia.

As we have seen time and time again. In our world money acts as a very good mask for mental issues, but he would be having the same issues if he didn’t luck into streaming, he would just be in a much much worse situation.

Or possibly he would have gotten help if he had had to rely on family and friends who might have convinced him to seek help sooner.

Yeah for real, what does this mean exactly? All forms of machine learning? That’s a lot of computers at this moment, it’s just we only colloquially call the chat bot versions “AI”. But even that gets vague do reactive video game NPCs get counted as “AI?” Or all of our search algorithms and spell check programs?

At that point what’s the point? The disclosure would become as meaningless as websites asking for cookies or the number of things known to cause cancer in the state of California.

I’m sure there’s a fun game for someone in there where you play as a money trader

Right… Yeah in aggregate. Just cause you see a counterfactual in person doesn’t make it true. That’s how it works…

And it’s strange, you say you can’t speak to that personally because you saw a line around the block, so what about the person who gave a personal anecdote to the opposite? You both have stories that contradict each other. How does this square in your framework?

People still go out to events like concerts and holiday parties. Far fewer people casually go out to their local bars and coffee shops during the week. I’m pretty sure that’s empirical.

This article convinced me to buy a flipper (I’ve been debating it for years). It’s a super useful item that is absolutely going to get banned/hamstrung any day now for putting too much power into people’s hands under the guise of “public safety”.

I want it because it’s so easy to use. I’m no hacker, but with a tool as convenient as this I’m sure I can piece some useful hacks together.

SpongeBob is a pedophile?

Especially because the app is called “tea”, like the slang term for gossip. The letter of the intention may have been good but the whole thing is toxic.

I like how this image smugly pretends like it’s above it all when lust and time wasting questions are like 2/5 pillars of the human condition.

Yeah! We gotta give people the choice to work or die due to lack of medical care! That’s never been done before! What’s that called?
