I thought 2 was ok (albeit not very original after the first one) but then 3 just casually killed off the protagonist of 2 and that was really lame. Was there drama involving different studios making the games, or something? Because it felt like the guys making 3 were saying “LOL, 2 didn’t matter.”
I have in mind the people I’ve worked with - I would have known where they were from even if they were lighter-skinned.
Is the portrayal in non-Indian films bias or just a consequence of immigration patterns? The Indian immigrants that I’ve met in the USA have usually been relatively dark-skinned.
They can’t help because they don’t have plot armor if it isn’t their movie. I mean, look at Multiverse of Madness…
Hah, a long time ago I tried to avoid building up a bunch of dirty dishes by having just one of each (one plate, one cup, one fork, etc.) but instead of washing those I ended up re-using them without washing. I know a person who is unashamed to use disposable dishes for everything and I don’t know if that’s degradation or liberation.
Did you know that rats will leave your dishes spotless? That’s the real life hack here.
A business that passed 100% of the tariffs on to consumers via higher prices could still be worse off after getting a refund than it would have been if there never had been tariffs, if demand is elastic enough, so I’m not sure even that sort of data could resolve the question of who deserves what.
I’m not sure what other system is even conceivably possible in the general case. There’s no straightforward universal relationship between tariffs paid by businesses and prices paid by the customers of those businesses.
Other former staff members were reassigned to Alphabet’s drug-discovery company Isomorphic Labs, which is a DeepMind spin-off.
They’re still actively working on this area of research.
Rather than assigning each finger the same value of 1, assign them values of 1, 2, 4, 8, and 16. Then there’s some combination of fingers that can represent any value from 0 to 1+2+4+8+16=31. It’s like using digits to count instead of tally marks.
FYI a normal human can count to 31 on one hand using binary.
Imagine if in another 250 years, the USA still has a system of government substantially similar to its present day form, but with a population of tens of billions spread across several planet Earths in alternate dimensions. Most people are wealthy enough to own a personal spaceship. Medicine has advanced to the point where doctors can bring you back from the dead as long as your brain is more or less in one piece. But now everyone judges the people of the 21st century for eating meat - it’s considered pretty much the worst thing that anyone can do. Maybe you’ll be convinced that you were wrong to eat meat, or maybe you won’t. Even if you’re convinced that you were wrong, maybe you’ll think that the people of the future should have left wild animals alone rather than intervening to eliminate predation. But overall you would probably think the future was going rather better than you expected…
My dog was a true patriot who would go to fireworks shows with me.
Is the implication that this is a French catgirl?
What you’re missing out on. (Not that I’ve gone myself.)
Would having experts capable of telling real videos from fake ones even solve the main problem, that being the problem of public perception? The experts would have an important role in, for example, intelligence agencies, but the public is still going to trust its eyes, and in the presence of multiple contradictory videos, its biases, especially since there’s always going to be someone claiming to be an expert to back them up.
It’s more reasonable than the headline makes it sound. The commissioner pointed out that he’s not in charge of the decision to use Flock cameras and told the group of people who wanted to express their opposition to him anyway to pick one representative who would do so.
I’ve been to meetings where people repeatedly express the same negative opinion of a policy to someone with no control over that policy and I guess that’s what the commissioner wanted to avoid.
It’s not actually ridiculous in principle.
Let’s say I start out owning a bank with ten billion in assets, and the bank’s value comes entirely from its assets so it’s worth ten billion.
The bank loans its ten billion to you, and you pay me those ten billion for the bank. Now I have ten billion in cash instead of a bank that was worth ten billion, and you have a bank worth ten billion to which you owe ten billion. No one’s net worth has changed.
You default on your loan to your own bank. Now the bank is worthless (its worth came entirely from the loan) and you have no debt, so your net worth still hasn’t changed. Effectively nothing has happened.
I loved Lords of the Realm 2 as a kid and then Lords of the Realm 3 came out and I bought it instantly but it turned out to be garbage.
