Not sure why you’re being downvoted, season 1 of Buffy is pretty meh, but Prophecy Girl gives us the first example of what the series becomes, with the balance of humor and drama and horror.

Looks like the advice is covered, so let’s talk about your use of the term “boomer” to refer to yourself. You are a millennial, you’re likely too young to have boomer parents.

I disagree, anyone with sense knew everything Elon claimed about this thing was a lie.

That capex number in the article is a big part of it. $200 billion spent to generate $1-2 billion a month in revenue is wasteful, and people at the top are feeling the pressure to justify that expense.

That’s like half of Ed Zitron’s output, although he puts more detail into identifying the specific placid and compliant reporters.

In fact, it seems to be getting worse along a number of axes.

If you do well enough at the game, the reanimated corpse of Howard Hughes appears and asks you to take over operations at JFK.

Yeah, the question is framed poorly. Not all effects on one’s life are good.

Also, with the (possible) exception of kids who grow up in the foster system, I would argue your parents have the largest effect on your life, good or bad. Whether you recognize it or not.

It’s not for every face. I suppose if someone already thinks they’re ugly they might not worry over-much about how it looks.

Guerilla plant fast growing plants in vacant areas to suck up as much CO2 as possible?

(Yes I know this is like a drop in the ocean.)

Andrew Ti has proposed that part of the problem that the VP exemplifies is that the Bay Area is too expensive for regular people to live in, so you have tech millionaires in their little bubbles never getting input from regular people. Specifically from teenagers. If Apple had taken the VP to malls in (say) Minneapolis and Dallas and LA and Newark, the people wearing it would have been roasted by teenagers, and the designers and engineers would know there was still work to do.

Apple Vision Pro seemed doomed from the get go, but they really made it worse by not launching a cheaper headset with Air branding half a year or a year in to actually drive market share enough to make it worthwhile for developers. Could’ve given it an A series CPU since we now know it works in a laptop so why not in XR or whatever they’re calling this.

I think Vision Pro was doomed regardless. Go back and watch the iPhone announcement, then the Vision Pro announcement. Every single person in the auditorium when Jobs is presenting the iPhone is thinking of the thousand things they can do with that device. In the Vision Pro announcement, there’s none of that energy. If they released something that left zero question as to its purpose, the price could sit at $3K and they wouldn’t be able to make them fast enough. Instead we got an Oculus that won’t support most games and costs 6 times as much.

Here’s a thought: push for “publicly held”corporations to be actually public. No secrets, trade or otherwise.

If you go to house.gov they let you look up your rep by zip code. I’d point out that the data is almost certain to be subjected to a breach, which would expose way more sensitive data than usual to whoever wanted it.

I’m not convinced, I may need to spend some time in person with Patty or someone who looks and acts a lot like her to buy into this op.

Coming soon: Arch de triomphe.

Between Burnet and Lamar

Are you in Austin? Because Austin has that.

One of my favorite games, and Ghost of Yotei is a fantastic sequel.

I’m looking forward to the next one which based on the time jump between Tsushima and Yotei should be about a brave warrior fighting against American occupation of Okinawa in the post WWII era. /s

This isn’t about source code, it’s about using genAI for game assets like textures and character models. Steam’s disclosure policy explicitly states it’s about things a player can see or hear.
