I think they’re just reading the room. If he goes full-on authoritarian, do your shareholders benefit more from you getting in his way or licking his boots?
His first term there was a sense that he might shake things up, but they would eventually return to some semblance of balance of power. This second term, people still wonder deep down whether Trump might try to pull a S Korean style martial law declaration at some point, and perhaps meet greater success.
Uh … why SCMP? Isn’t that a party-friendly newspaper anyway?
Lead researcher has a youtube channel linked at the bottom of that article, too.
Awhile ago they released mod support, and I’m pretty sure I remember hearing about a mod that made it real time with pause.
I ended up dropping it too, but it’s more that I’m just not as into rpgs as I was in the past. I can recognize how good it is, but the genre just doesn’t do it for me anymore.
Depends on platform I suppose. Here, the level of activity is low enough that if you’re reading the comments, you’re usually reading all of them. In a major reddit sub that is seldom the case.
Those trolls live off of engagement
Not anymore. Back in the day trolling was a recreational activity done for fun. Deny the fun, cut off the troll’s food. Now it’s being done for political purposes, so cutting off the fun no longer functions since it no longer strikes at the primary motivation.
This is an excellent idea. Did you happen to find any?
Excellent. I wonder if we’ll finally hit a critical mass over there.
Was wondering how long it would take to roll something like this out. Bout time.
Positive emotions (γ = 0.128, p < 0.05) boost participation, while negative emotions (γ = −0.144, p < 0.01), particularly when linked to user behaviors, reduce it.
Well, it’s nice to have hard data on trolling, I suppose.
Honesty is good.
Personally I am very willing to pay full price and even occasionally buy pointless extras I don’t care about if it helps reward their passion for a project I see as a valuable contribution. I’ll even pre-order or provide them some free advertising in some cases. Especially if its the sort of dev where it seems like their long-term survival might be in question.
I feel like you can usually tell when the dev needs money or doesn’t.
I was going to say gasoline, but actually no, not really.
It was just a matter of time, we’ve had automated vacuum cleaners for ages now.
Putting guns on them is a bit harder, you definitely want a well-tested system for that. But cameras is pretty easy.
Same technique as making and integrating a cornstarch slurry to thicken a soup.
Why do people keep asking if we’re okay? No, we are clearly not completely fine. We’re neck-deep in an information war and who will be the ultimate victor is very much undecided.
Frankly, we probably would’ve activated NATO’s Article 5 provision by now, except what good would it do when all of our allies are already under the same sort of attack?
Seriously though, people do not call for civil war in countries that are doing completely fine. That is not a sign of robust civic health.
Less about guilt, more of a sorrow and trying to make the future better than the past, instead of the same or worse. I’ve never met anyone that claimed to feel guilt, or looked like they were experiencing it or anything though.
No, if I’m on wikipedia for something, I never really feel confident enough in my own knowledge to actually do anything significant. I just mentally mark the article as questionable as I read.
And when I know something well, I’m never looking at its wikipedia entry. lol
Maybe I should though.
I get this with wikipedia articles. I have to force myself to click through the links provided and check the reliability of the sources. They’re usually fine, but every once in awhile you find something questionable snuck in there.
Old news, but still very cool.
