Posting record profits is why they’re throwing away their employees. Those record profits attracted lots of speculative investments. And that bill has come due, so they’re desperately trying to scrape together the money necessary to pay it the only way they can — throwing people under the bus to artificially reduce…

I feel like this is the stage where the ambitions of Starship is now actively interfering with the SpaceX’s design approaches. It’s hard to ‘fail early, fail often, and iterate’ when every failure comes with mountains of additional red tape and months of delays. And I’m *NOT* saying we should be nonchalant about a…

Porter is one of the few politicians, let alone democrats, who are standing up and speaking the full, unabridged, and blunt truth. While other Democrats are busily given mealy-mouthed half-assed responses to Republican insanity, she consistently stands up to call them on their bullshit. So of course both parties are…

And if there’s anyone who knows ‘bout being naughty, it’s Ken “I’m happily a motherfucking piece of shit” Paxton, the criminal, sadist, sexual predator, and all-around dirt bag. Things sure are ‘bigger’ in Texas. Including assholes and corruption.

Next up: gaming what counts for ‘surge pricing’ the way Uber and Lyft already do. “OMG! We’ve got a customer! SURGE PRICE!”

...and now Doom needs a mod where your ‘weapon’ is a Lawnmower —with upgrades to collect, of course. Bigger blades. More blades. Higher suspension. Better acceleration and top speed. That’s right, demons. Run. Run away....

Even if Marvel has the rights, there are other issues at play. As Mark alluded, screen time for the Hulk, at least at cinema quality, is still very expensive. The tech has improved massively since the first Hulk film (even since Avengers), but the expectation of increased detail, fidelity, accuracy that came with it…

Disney’s generally wholesome, family-friendly characterization of Spider Man is kind of incompatible with the brutal and bloody visuals that make up the foundation of Invincible. And, of course, having Spider Man show up begs the quest of where the Avengers were when Omniman was playing a blood-explosion whack-a-mole…

The film’s ‘weakest’ point was that Riz didn’t really seem to get into his role, with some semi-flat deliveries, until roughly 1/3rd of the way into the movie. But after that, he was firing on all cylinders. And that’s all I could find to even start to nitpick. Everything else was a solid 10 out of 10 the whole way…

But how fast can data be read from or written to the potential disks? We can store obscene amounts of data in DNA, too. It just takes an equally obscene amount of time to read from or write data to the medium, which makes it an impractical storage technology.

This certainly looks like the pinnacle of the ‘whale hunting’ F2P model. The ‘whales’ become ‘investors,’ giving them even greater degrees of control over direction and priorities, while everyone else mostly gets crapped on by them. So, yeah, F2P, but especially in this form, is wholly incompatible with player/worker…

I am disappointed that the “Read More” button wasn’t brought in on the gag and relabeled “Would you like know more?”

When you consider that Trump and Christianity are both works of fiction...

Bing, bing, bing. UBI as a concept is a great one, and modern society needs to shift over to it as a natural result of increasing automation to keep society progressing. However, UBI is also fundamentally incompatible with capitalism as a whole. Because *PEOPLE* are how ‘capital’ is generated. Specifically coercing…

As a general rule, no, not exactly. And the ‘not exactly’ is key. Because they’re not investing in speculative assets directly. Because they don’t have to. They invest in large hedgefund bundles, and those do often include speculative investment assets. When the crypto bubble burst, lots of speculative money…

Oh, hey, shocker — that thing Microsoft execs specifically said they weren’t going to do, they went ahead and did anyway! It’s almost as if their reasons for why they needed all their recent mega mergers, how it was going to help competition was, what’s the word again? Oh, right. It’s lies. Their ‘reasons’ were all…

People who have tried artificial meat products find that the lack of natural fats severely and negatively impact the taste and texture. They’re unnaturally lean, in other words. Once natural fats are added to them, the difference in taste and texture is largely a matter of preference. So my notion is to use…

“...that could leave plenty of financial pain in its wake.”

Because they aren’t yet. It takes time for developers to really get the hang of all the hardware-specific capabilities of a console, the how, where, and when a console’s unique capabilities allow for unorthodox or novel approaches to replace more routine and less-performant methods. This has been consistently true for…

So, like everything else Republicans scream and howl about to the public, it’s just another misdirection and distraction from the fact that the entire party is wholly incompetent and corrupt. No wonder they love Trump so much. He’s the perfect personification of everything they truly represent.
