It’s not that I can’t tell that there is a difference, it’s that it just doesn’t seem like some sort monumental upgrade. With older generation of consoles, moving up to the newer gen was a massive upgrade, with this gen, games obviously look great, but to me they look like prettier ps3 games. And I know this will…

I think the problem is with the very incremental increases which Nvidia and AMD pull off to make the most out of their research so we get used to slightly better and better graphics. If you actually fire up a game which was release 4~5 years ago the differences are much more obvious.

I always feel like I’m missing out on something when things like these come around. Whether it was 4k, HDR, or this, I just think, “oh neat, it looks nicer than it did before.” I don’t really recall seeing anything that blew my mind since we went from ps1 to 2 or ps2 to 3. Am I just jaded, or have we hit the point of…

I get that every NYC article is a opportunity to whine about New Yorkers, and I mean, I gotta work, and the commute is long (though mostly I read), but what in the hell are you looking for that needs $2M let alone north of it??

Because living in a brick McMansion 5-10 miles from anything of interest and the most culturally significant thing in the area being the first McDonalds in the metro suburban area sounds like actual hell to me.

I have no horse in this race*, but it sounds like the issue is that Inside Edition is portraying this as some hard-hitting reporting, when they are actually reporting on some mundane issue. Your shoplifting scenario is exactly correct though - yes it’s wrong, but it’s not the actual problem at hand.

Hmm, which makes for an easier story to research and report on: punching down at commuters who may be stiffing the NYC subway system out of $215M annually, or punching up at the corporate and government leaders who mismanage the system to the tune of BILLIONS annually?

So if $215,000,000 would help so much what the hell are they doing with the $5,375,000,000?

Somehow, I think it’s highly doubtful that the MTA would actually filter that 215 million back into the subway system for necessary repairs/improvements. They clearly haven't made that a priority in the past, so why would they start now?

How much does the average retail chain lose to theft each year? Theft, loss, waste, those are all things that every business has to account for. I’ve been riding the New York subway daily for 12 years and have seen people jump the turnstile maybe a dozen times.

That extra $215 million doesn’t exist and it never will. The vast majority of people who jump turnstiles or sneak in through emergency exits either won’t or can’t afford to pay either way.

Here’s the thing: What we call glitches are really just unintended rules. The computer has no idea if the developers meant for Sonic to go through a wall; it discovered that it could, so that became an option. We “know” that’s cheating because we play the game with previous knowledge that you can’t run through walls…

Sounds a lot like game testers might be out of a job here soon, replaced by people who teach AI how to play a game, then let it find ways to cheat/break the engine.

The AI would even pause the game right before a final tetris piece would clog up the screen to prevent itself from ever losing.

because Anthony Kennedy just got tired

Really like that Economist proposal.

Spin spin spin spin away!

I suspect no one told him what actually happened, and they stole his phone and locked the TVs to old Apprentice reruns.

The senate map did advantage was just too big to overcome.

Well, an openly gay female Native American just took a seat from a Republican in Kansas. So I’m going to soak in that for a few minutes. :)
