Lots of big differences between Hodges and Kaepernick:

Noncomputable means that, no matter how much computing power you have, you still couldn’t figure out the optimal play sequence. Compare that to chess or go, where it’s theoretically possible to figure out the optimal play from any position (there’s an extremely large but finite set of board positions), but impossible…

Counterpoint - retiring numbers is fine. It doesn’t hurt anything, and years later you get to play “remember that guy?” when a new player asks to wear the number and they invariably say yes.

The problem with Captain Marvel is she’s just too powerful for the movie. I mean, she did better against Thanos (after he had the gauntlet) than all of the male Avengers put together. He handled all of them (including dual-wielding Thor and Cap with hammer) with ease, but needed an infinity stone to stop her. She’s…

In the story I remember, his daughter didn’t purchase a pregnancy test. In fact, she didn’t know she was pregnant. The company identified that she was likely pregnant based on her changing purchases, and started sending the ads.  It took a couple of weeks after the ads started before she went to get tested.

So video games. I’ll bet Call of Duty or League of Legends would do a much better job at teaching fine motor skills that cursive writing practice.

To be fair to Trump, he’s also too much of a coward to call Don Lemon an idiot to his face.

I’m not really looking for a new Han Solo story - we got everything we needed in the original trilogy.

Well, at this exact moment they’re playing in the 3rd/4th place decider match for the current season, after topping their group. I believe they’ve played in that match in each of their 6 seasons, and they went to the World Championships twice as the #2 European seed, making the semi-finals once.

The entire system of classifying information rests on the President’s authority - in a very real sense information is classified because the President says it is. It started as an executive order, and while Congress added a little garnish most of the system is still based on an executive order (that each new President…

Umm..

He didn’t get fired because the internet blew up. He got fired because he was bad at the (CEO) job. He stepped into a crisis*, and then completely flubbed managing it, to the point that they were bleeding key stakeholders (the volunteer developers) at a pretty good clip. He was apparently a decent (at a minimum) CTO,…

The problem is that for a million dollar event, “barely had any problems” is the minimum acceptable level. You don’t earn much credit for doing the minimum expected of you, especially after screwing up that badly. Valve completely failed with this event, and that’s entirely on them.

Blizzard did a rogue-like - it’s called Diablo :)

Of course, Sherman wasn’t a traitor, unlike both Lee and Stuart. That seems to be a pretty key difference between them. Naming a tank after Lee is basically the same thing as naming a tank after Benedict Arnold, or the British naming a tank after Washington.

It’s worth pointing out that, by any reasonable estimate, VW killed hundreds to thousands more people than GM. The math really isn’t that hard - we know how many cars, and have decent guesses for how much extra pollution was involved and how many deaths per ton of pollutant. Using low estimates puts the count around…

It’s worth pointing out that Cam is both bigger and faster that Richard Dent, so any confrontation might not go as well as Dent would like.

As a rule, Blizzard doesn’t do straight deathmatches. Their view is you need something else going on in the match to keep it interesting.

I’d argue that the first game with Rexxar was not a “standard” team either, even though he’s considered a warrior. Playing with Misha makes him a much different foe than the standard warriors, and they used those differences decisively.

The schools have fought for decades to limit scholarships to one year so they don’t have to make a long-term commitment to any player. Seems like the players should have the same option.
