Power is just the ability to influence someone, social power is widely recognized as a form of power. The law recognizes that 15 years olds can’t consent to sex with an adult, in part, because they are considered unusually susceptible to this kind of social influence.

What this dude did was wrong. Full Stop.

I agree completely. This scenario simply doesn’t equate to, for example, the Harvey Weinstein scandal, in which a powerful man who had people under his payroll abused his power and influence to exploit people. This is just some young girls who were star struck by someone famous, it would’ve been easy for them to turn…

• Making apps look less blurry: If you use scaling in Windows because you’re using a display with a huge resolution and smaller screen size, Windows 10 will now attempt to make apps less blurry when they struggle with scaling. Find this option under Settings > System > Display > Advanced scaling.

Crossing my fingers that this isn’t a complete fucking shitshow like the Fall Creator’s Update.

Your workspace is no longer limited by physical or hardware restraints. You can create as many “monitors” as you need, you can change them to any size, you can make them curved, you can move them wherever you want without having a specialized desk or a dozen monitor arms…

I think the end goal/ideal scenario would be a display capable of basically going opaque or semi transparent when necessary so you’d have a two-in-one package. I have absolutely no interest in AR as the entire point of VR to me is leaving the real world behind, but you combine the technologies into one and open one…

A VR working environment is clean, crisp, and easily modifiable, and allows you to ignore the mountains of leftover takeout containers on your desk.

You’ll get a better “discount” if you buy your Apple products from an online retailer that doesn’t charge sales tax for your location. I’m legitimately eligible for the education discount, and I rarely find it worthwhile to use.

Must be a lot of NCAA fans up at Blizzard HQ!

Okay, um, wow. If that is legit (which it seems like it is, but let’s not jump to conclusions), that’s a pretty shit deal. The code of conduct stuff seems a bit vague and overreaching at times, but honestly it’s probably just Blizzard’s attempt at keeping the league squeaky clean in an attempt to attract sponsors and…

I use Messenger (on both Android and iPhone) but didn’t have any call or text history.

I see what you’re saying, but at some point it’s time to make your own show (literally or metaphorically). That’s not going to happen on the couch.

In my opinion, integrity is how you act when it doesn’t matter just as much as when it does.

Cozy up to journos in exchange for favors?

It sounds like Sony is paying the developers to exclude Xbox One.

Shit, at this point I think I’d take the alcoholic family member over the teetotaling windbag in chief.

Worth noting: alcoholism isn’t a moral failing, as Trump (and many others) cast it as. It’s an addiction, and addiction doesn’t know moral grounds—it only knows chemical components and reward receptors.

I’m not expecting anything even remotely sensible.

I’m expecting right wing talking points, arguments that we put to bed back in the 90s, and for Trump to do nothing but spout completely nonsensical, irrelevant bullshit the entire time.

Or from the perspective of someone looking to work in a CS-related field. Most of the companies listed there at the bottom are CS - a workforce that's pretty fluid, and generally one where you have a number of good offers from various companies.

If you have a paying job and you're looking to upgrade, may as well go somewhere good, no?
