The shareholders probably care, but to the layman, expecting 6.61 billion and only earning 6.49 billion doesn’t amount to much. They’re not going anywhere.

tldr, not sure if it was bullet or shrapnel from the bullet.

It’s not even a good excuse because even if they did change their minds, he could still attempt to debate whoever it is on the scheduled date.

I agree, this usage of it was bad.

Probably this.

Can you explain what are denotational semantics and operational semantics? I tried reading the wikipedia article but I don’t get it.

In our testing, the VPN always continued to report as connected, and the kill switch was never engaged to drop our VPN connection.

This is the only place they mention kill switch. I feel like it needs a slight clarification on whether it was enabled and didn’t work, or if was just disabled and therefore not “engaged”.

Just switch to GNU/Hurd

This is what I was thinking. For a first iteration to get out the door immediately it could just be windows with a “game browser” that launches full screen when you turn it on 😂

They change it all the time for funsies

No they’re not. And the tech literate people that will see that they can disable this protection and continue as normal.

Microsoft doesn’t always do good things, but I think this is fine. If you open firefox it’ll ask you if you want to set your default browser, and it won’t regedit for you. It will open up the proper windows menu that lets you set firefox as the default.

Not letting malware change your settings by default is a GOOD thing. It is also a good thing that advanced users can disable the feature.

The only bad thing about the story is the lack of transparency. Having to find out about it by breaking tools is bad. It would be better if they had a changelog for these updates that say what they do so admins can see if their tools will be affected.

Is it that bad?

For real, I might get it to try it out. I’m learning about it from this post.

This is what I thought at first too. But after thinking about it more, it kind of falls into cybercrime. I can imagine hearing something like this on darknet diaries.

This is just the plot of office space

Does the bill also include at least a 1.25x minimum wage increase to enforce this as well?

Here I’ll add some context

It is pretty easy not to think about this game, it does not live rent free in my brain. I bought the promise of a space ship over a decade ago when there really was no game. The “game” then was here is your spaceship in a garage, stare at it and marvel. That was the whole game.

Over time i’ve seen bits and pieces of it in my feed, I remember when they added being able to fly the spaceship, idk when that was, but again that was the whole game. You could see pretty space but still no substance.

That was really my last experience with it because I think somewhere around this point is probably where I started working full time and stopped really following game news.

Flash forward to today I see this post to see the game is still a work in progress, I shared my opinion.

So if there is a decent game by now with a plot that would be great, I would give it a shot. But if it’s still just a fancy tech demo where you can run around for a bit but there’s really nothing to “do” then I’ll wait another decade.

I “bought” this game when I was in high school. I’ve graduated high school, college, and I’ve been in the workforce for 7 years. Still no game.

So yes, they should figure out this game is going to be, set a launch date, and work towards that schedule. This forever-in-development thing they have going on is ridiculous.

Edit: Alright, it’s not fair to say “still no game.” There is a game you can download and play, but the question I have is does it have all the bells and whistles you expect from a complete game, or is it a technical demo with some game features? See my other comment in this comment chain for why my opinion is what it is.

I could be wrong, but I’m pretty sure a lot of open source software is volunteer based and unpaid.

There might be cases where orgs will lend developers to work on a project, but with the org’s interests in mind, so if the patch isn’t in their interest, then those devs won’t look at it.

Great response on why NFTs are lame for what most are being used for.

I play some blockchain games where the NFT represents digital items, and the only real use case for it being on blockchain is having the marketplace to trade in game items for money. And that doesn’t even need to be blockchain, it’s like an overengineered steam marketplace.
