Yeah, FBI and or CIA would be (are?) the US's Gestapo. I mean, they already have torture facilities to get false confessions.

By fucking obviousness.

At least that's what a court would rule, likely with more formal terminology.

Bing/DDG has also blocked the emulation wiki (https://emulation.gametechwiki.com/) for some reason. I noticed when I forgot the domain and tried looking for the site.

For the record, Google returns it as the top result.

Reason #186729 why it's insane to have no right to privacy in public.

Fun fact: Recording the public is illegal in Germany. Any private video camera must only be able to record your own property. If you do record (and store - smart doorbells without storage that are only active when they are rung are exempted) material you must have visible warnings (that others can see BEFORE being recorded) or else any evidence you collect is likely to be thrown out in court.

Could it make testing less conclusive? Part of testing is to see whether people actually enjoy the game. And I'd conjecture immersion-breaking placeholder assets could lead to worse testing reviews.

It's calling a function without a parameter.

You know how in math you had something like:

f(x) = x²

Not all functions need parameters though. The function:

f(x) = 2

does not even use the provided x! So just leave it out:

f() = 2

Similarly, you could give a function two parameters:

f(x, y) = x + y

Programmers use functions to primarily organize their code. Otherwise it would get very unreadable very quickly. Those function are usually a bit more complicated than a single line, though.

dog.walk() would call the walk() function of "dog". Some valid code could be:

dog.walk()
wait(10)
dog.stop()

This code would make the dog walk for 10 seconds assuming every function used is actually defined somewhere.

Mostly because Apple's update policy is superior to A LOT of Android companies. OEMs are really slow when patching known vulnerabilities.

Quick study I found when trying to find evidence:

https://www.ftc.gov/system/files/ftc_gov/pdf/16-Acar-A-Device-Centric-Analysis-of-Android-Security-Updates.pdf

Example from that study:

Compared to the top three OEMs we examined so far, Google is the one with the most stable support behavior. All of the Pixel devices receive monthly security updates without any delay or missed SPLs [Security Patch Levels]

It's utterly insane this is noteworthy. Not delaying security updates for KNOWN vulnerabilities should not be exemplary.

Gambling addictions have very high suicide ideation and suicide attempt rates. The exact numbers seem ti vary from study to study but I haven't found any with percentages below double digits.

Gambling addictions are not uncommon either, with 1-3% of the general population being affected [Wikipedia]. Risk factors include starting young and online gambling by the way. Guess who encourages both?

If I had to guess, thousands of people have committed suicide at least partially due to Valve. "Partially" because case gambling could've been the entry into other forms of gambling that cemented gambling addictions.

Me too. I'll even make them full AI.

Please send me $2 billion by Tuesday. My salary as yetAnotherUser CEO & CTO is a modest 20 million/year. Results are expected to appear by 2030.

Block and move on if you care so much about someone not conforming to grammar conventions in the most harmless manner imaginable.

Just imagine your comment under someone using all lower case letters instead of capitalizing Proper Nouns and the beginning of sentences.

Sure, but the same can be said about pretty much anything. If I were to get bone cancer in my left arm, I'd rather have had it amputated when I was a baby than today. Recovery always sucks.

Hasn't he admitted to changing his opinion after learning about the effects on children? I'm not in the loop about this.

But yeah, you definitely shouldn't treat his words as gospel. A lot of questionable-at-best stuff in there.
