And other major expansions for elden ring and FFXIV released recently. There’s potential overlap in the player base. 90% is a big dip though.

Hell yeah - this is great news.
Mad love for Qobuz.
I can snap the tendon over my knuckles kinda hard to where it makes a popping/snapping sound. If I do it close to someone’s cheek, it stings like releasing a tiny rubber band.
I can also move my ears independent of one another.
Private company in what way? The company is publicly traded - there are rules and regulations that organizations have to abide by. it’s not totally lawless current state … They’re legally beholden to shareholders to maximize value. They can do what they like but probably don’t want them allowing certain folks to have a platform (moderating the platform). Meta uses the grey area to manipulate and addict users, that’s just their business practice to drive value and generate views/engagement with their platform.
Agree this dude is unhinged.

But for real idk. My wife is an obgyn and I’m Hispanic soooo I feel like we might be in danger.

Ai summary because it seems like folks aren’t reading the article:
The study finds that threatening anti-piracy messages aimed at deterring digital piracy have the opposite effect on men, finding they increase piracy behaviors by 18% in men. However, such messages can reduce intended piracy in women by over 50%. The research also showed educational messages had no impact on intended piracy for both men and women. Notably, those with more favorable views of piracy saw even higher increases in intended piracy when exposed to threatening messages. The findings suggest anti-piracy groups should tailor their messages for different genders and consider alternative educational approaches to avoid unintended consequences like increasing piracy.
Seems like threatening messages specifically drive piracy up in men, but not for women. If you have a favorable view on piracy then the aggressive ads make it more likely that you’ll follow through.
It’s pretty much saying that the industry may want to reconsider the way they frame their warnings because it may actually be influencing people to take action.
Ai summary of the article if you don’t wanna click the link:
A recent poll found that 76% of respondents agreed that Google CEO Sundar Pichai is comparable to Steve Ballmer, who led Microsoft during a period of decline. Both men took over from revolutionary founders as business managers focused on profits rather than innovation. However, under Pichai’s leadership, Google has lost its dominance in areas like search and AI, with competitors like OpenAI making strides. Many argue Google search has become cluttered with irrelevant results, while former employees say visionary leadership is lacking. There is a sense that Pichai’s Google is no longer the innovative company it was and risks losing further ground to emerging technologies if it does not recapture its start-up spirit.
Don’t know why you’re getting downvoted. You’re not off base. My family is Hispanic and my mom would love it if I lived with her till I’m 40.
Just got home from work travel tonight. My wife and I had a nice dinner (she cooked and had everything ready for when I got home from the airport) - I need to stop by the store tomorrow to get her some flowers and chocolates at a post v-day discount 🫠😉
Also planning on taking her out to dinner on Friday.
Yes - I didn’t have time to watch the video and wanted a text summary. Thought others might find it useful
Shuji Nakamura was a researcher at Nichia who was determined to create the first blue LED, which had eluded scientists for decades. Through innovative crystal growth techniques and materials discoveries, he succeeded in developing bright blue and white LEDs in the early 1990s. This breakthrough enabled LEDs to be used for full-spectrum lighting. Nichia’s fortunes grew enormously as a result, though Nakamura was not properly compensated for his invention. Today, LEDs powered by Nakamura’s blue LED technology are ubiquitous and have brought enormous energy savings worldwide.
Something interesting I found was that Nakamura persisted in his research for blue LEDs against the wishes of his company management, who saw it as a waste of resources. His stubbornness and belief in his work paid off by solving a problem that had stumped the electronics industry for 30 years.
Weirdly hostile, but ok. It’s like any other tool that can be used to accelerate a process. Hopefully at some point it’s useful enough to streamline the minutia of boring tasks that a competent intern could do. Not sure who is specifically targeting welders??
If it frees up your time to focus on more challenging stuff or stuff you enjoy, isn’t that a good thing? Folks are dynamic and will adjust, as we always have.
Don’t think there’s a good excuse to come at someone with animosity over this topic.
Can’t play certain games* without windows
I’m GOING to the Olympics this year. Totally stoked to travel to France. It is the only vacation my wife and I are taking this year.
