If you like stories like that, you’ll enjoy the DailyWTF. It’s littered with cautionary tales like this.

Yup. When we were in Portugal looking for vc funds to invest in, most of the real estate funds were owned by UAE backed investors, but had an office in PT to get around this law.

This will, unfortunately, solve few problems for Spain.

Yeah, including trump, the worst scam artist of all.

If you watch the youtube series doublefine has on the making of Psychonauts 2 (I’ve actually never played it, but I’m a hobby game developer and found the whole series a fascinating behind the scenes for how established studios do game development), they had a project lead early on to the Psychonauts dev cycle that pushed for things like “blood gates” where you had to kill enemies to progress, and more challenging combat and more traditional sort of “God of War” style gameplay mechanics.

The core devs, UX, animators, level designers, etc. all sort of rebelled against him and went to Tim (the President of DF and the writer of it) and complained until he sorted things out.

So not having these challenging combat pieces was 100% intentional by the dev team that built both Psychonauts 1 and 2.

The courts seem to disagree.

I assume he means that there’s no way to perms die or challenge to the game from a combat standpoint, that is more story driven. If so, he’s right. Double fine specifically built that into their game design. It was an intentional choice

Billions.

AI does not have “source code”. It has models. Which are pretty much indecipherable to humans, even in the field. You can almost think of them as one way hashes in some respects. You take a world of data (literally) and produce a model that works in a very narrow context to represent that world of data along specific edges and nodes.

She’s not a minor. Not in TX. 17 is tried as an adult for criminal offenses.

Of the top 4, three of those things are generally self-created problems for individuals. Someone eating more cheeseburgers doesn’t impact my life negatively (except for rising medical costs in general). One of them is more act-of-god-y, but without anyone being able to point a cancer gun at people.

Medical malpractice, traffic accidents, murder, and the terrorist actions are all things that we should be trying to solve for and address as a society. They’re things we have control over and is a situation where it’s one person hurting another person (though in suicide’s case, it’s a bit darker than that, but still related due to depression and needing help/not receiving any).

The point being, we shouldn’t stop trying to address person on person causes of death, just because it’s low, statistically. But I do agree we should probably start with something like Medical Malpractice as the biggest bang for the buck. But working towards that also doesn’t mean we can’t also work on reducing terrorist attack vectors.

Don’t be like this guy.

Have you seen videos from Brazil? Everyone’s either an undercover cop or an assassin about to shoot at an undercover cop, at any given moment.

Compared to that, what could muskrat threaten them with?

Why is this man being downvoted? He’s correct. That is the historical reason America got involved.

There were tens of millions of Americans that supported the Germans/Nazi party, and the rest basically didn’t want to get involved on the world stage again.

The real evils of the Nazi regime weren’t realized until the last year or so of the war when we pushed in through the incursion areas and saw the camps and horrid treatment/deaths of the “undesirables”. Then it became a true moral outrage that brokered no dissension. Until then, it was because we had 4billion+ in loans to Germany they were repaying us after our costs for WW1, among other financial incentives.

Claiming otherwise is whitewashing history.

America has never been a particularly great country. Don’t let the school propaganda fool you. We’ve done things nearly as bad, and in some cases worse, than the Nazi party in our past. But nobody started a world war about it because we kept it within our borders (e.g. the Native American genocide, slavery, etc.).

I think the individual people who went to war from America in WW2 were doing the right thing, and believed in it for the right reasons. But the people at the top pulling the strings? Financial justifications all the way down.

Like you would know.

The fact that you say that and have that attitude means you’ve never experienced true hardship. True loss.

It’s written all over you. You’re practically broadcasting it to everyone the harder you try to dig in.

People who have had hard lives, truely hard lives and faced unimaginably difficult challenges and loss, gain empathy for their fellow man, not lose it.

You’re just trying to cosplay as something everyone can very clearly see you’re not.

Consider yourself lucky, and while I don’t wish undue hardship on anyone, In your case, it might give you that perspective you’re trying so hard to convince everyone around you you’ve had.

Said by someone who has never suffered the cruelty of others because of who they are.

Good.

Can’t tell if you dropped the /s here or not…

Same. They pay their employees a livable wage, great benefits, and seem to care about the community

It happened in CO, and is a state crime. Trump can’t pardon state convictions.

man, I cannot stand listening to that asshat talk. It’s just word gibberish and always about himself.

But if he renounced his presidency and started a morning talkshow? I’d probably watch it. Just for the schadenfreude.
