You say this as if venture capital is lying there on the ground for anyone to pick up. What VC do you know that aren't investing in companies that want to grow very quickly (or in companies that they then force to grow quickly)?
I didn't really get it, and the problem with these games is that you can't ask, because you might spoil the surprise. The controls were fine, even fun, but I just wasn't really captivated by the story.
I don't know if I'm missing something that would make the game click for me, or if I just won't enjoy it. I can't ask anyone, because I'll ruin it if I am actually missing something.
Netflix is responsible for 15% of global internet traffic. That's expensive no matter how you slice it, and dropping that by a mere 1% is a huge saving.
The EU has already forced WhatsApp to be interoperable. Of course, Meta complied maliciously, making it a setting that you have to enable, but at least it's a start.
I guess the bean counters figured it'd be cheaper compared to ultimately paying the fine they get for maliciously following the rules. Hope the fine ends up large enough to make them wrong :)
I dislike people like you more than I dislike regular dumb people, because I'm sure you're convinced that was a really smart reply.
To be explicit: The person you're responding to didn't say it but they have as a premise that when it comes to political systems, lack of empathy is the defining characteristic of fascism (I'm not saying I agree with the premise, I'm saying they had this premise). If you accept this, then their argument is not logically wrong. In contrast, your example is logically wrong. In the "two feet" example you're point at one attribute of something, not a defining characteristic. The correct example would be "All bipeds have two feet (by definition). Bob has two feet, therefore Bob is a biped". The gibberish you produced is logically wrong, while that of the person you're talking to is not, but you're too stupid to understand that.
We don't really do the whole calling people stupid or flaming around here. You can make your point and leave it at that or don't comment. This sort of behavior will get you banned by the very active mod team in the future. You can refresh yourself on the guidelines of the site: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html
Here's a section just for you:
"When disagreeing, please reply to the argument instead of calling names."
If their premise was "lack of empathy is the defining characteristic of fascism", that makes their post a tautology. How I read it was:
> Fascism is a lack of emotional intelligence, which is basic intelligence. Empathy and compassion are a form of basic intelligence. (_AND THEREFORE, fascism lacks empathy and compassion_)
This doesn't follow. Fascism can be a lack of emotional intelligence, emotional intelligence can be a form of basic intelligence, empathy and compassion can be a form of basic intelligence, and it can still be the case that you lack emotional intelligence but have empathy and compassion (you might simply lack in other aspects of emotional intelligence).
Lamb is more like a teacher, he'll let you make your own mistakes until the situation is about to go FUBAR, then he'll step in and save it and show you where you went wrong.
I've never succeeded on getting a refund with Google. There were a few apps that tricked me into buying a subscription (namely Musescore and Yazio), I immediately asked Google for a refund because I didn't actually get what I thought I was getting, and they denied me both times.
Now I just don't buy anything on the Play store that I can't afford to just be outright scammed on.
The Musescore app is just a minefield of subscription farming, it was somehow miserable even with an existing subscription the number of times it tried to get me to also get their weird AI learning platform. Now I've left it entirely.
