Similarly “super food” means anything the marking team wants it to mean. Normally, I read that as “this food may be slightly healthier than eating candy, so we would really like you to give us your money, deceive yourself into thinking you’re doing something right, and feel good about it”.
As a general guideline, that check list looks about right. It seems to me that the company doesn’t strictly need to have all of those features in the game. For example, Cyberpunk 2077 put all of their dev points into having the most catastrophic launch possible, and they had none left for predatory monetization. Others have chosen a more balanced approach. Some game breaking bugs, a little bit of whale milking etc.
Life hack: Buy two hammers, and mark them with the letters L and R. This way you’ll know which is which.
I think you’re confusing a few things here, but that’s ok. After all, it’s a shower thought, not a thesis.
Whether people agree or disagree with you is not a good indication of you being right or wrong. it could be either way in both cases.
When people think the same way as you do, they tend to agree with you. They might think that way, because you’re really convincing or because they see the world the same way you do. In either case, you could still be right or wrong.
It’s also possible that people appear to agree with you even though they don’t actually think like you do. See dictatorships for more info on that situation. As usual, this has nothing to with who is right and who is wrong.
Regardless, you touched upon an important point. Humans are social animals, and tribalism causes all sorts of weird behavior, such as rejecting your own conclusions and going with the flow. In a hunter gatherer society, your life literally depends on the group, so you better stick together. In a modern society, we still need each other, but more indirectly.
If everyone agrees with you, take that as a warning sign that they might be acting on tribal instincts. Act responsibly, because your decisions could affect the people around you.
Pump manufacturers are like: “We’re selling this professional grade stuff to people who know what they’re doing. They know how to math their way through this mess.”
In normal everyday life, you rarely need to involve time in your calculations. In science and engineering you do, and that’s when you run into problems.
When comparing two pumps, you run into issues like this. Which one is bigger: 29 m^3/h or 410 l/min. Doing calculations like that once or twice is recreational mathematics, but in a professional setting, these conversions are speed bumps standing in the way of getting stuff done.
Clearly shows that hours and minutes are messy units. The French Revolution fixed a lot of stupid problems, but decimal time just didn’t stick for some reason.
Just my two cents, but you should always check if the pennies are ok with this arrangement. You don’t want to stroke them the wrong way.
Now I know the backstory of Postal.
Soo… a check list of war crimes, rivers running red etc?
Also the frequency of ads plays a significant role in how hard they are grinding my gears. For example, vanilla YT has become completely unusable because of this. Sites like that are easily above 6/10 IMO.
Those puzzle captchas are a total nightmare. At least 5/10. If they show up in bizarre situations, like the one you mentioned, the amount of annoyance starts at 6/10.
On a scale of zero to ten, how do you rate ads and captchas? Zero is completely neutral and harmless, and 10 is enough to spark acts of physical violence.
That seems to be a human trait. Just ask anyone about their political views, which mobile phone they have, sports teams, climate change, vaccinations, dietary preferences, gender minorities, sexual minorities, parenting styles, music genres, pineapple on pizza, medieval siege engines etc.
BTW raspberries are better than strawberries.
How do you sell new airplanes if the old ones are still fine even after crashing into a mountain? Well, mostly fine… Just scrape all the kebab and tomato sauce off the walls, and you should be good to go.
Some psychologists also use D&D for therapy purposes. It allows the patient to experience a variety of situations, explore their feelings, practice new skills etc.
I think historical re-enactments could also qualify.
This is probably the biggest problem with that idea. If you hack an ancient space probe, you’ll definitely get the appropriate bragging rights, but that’s about it.
Lots of hobby hackers would love to do it, but they don’t have the hardware for it. Some governments might have the hardware, but they just don’t care about bragging that much.
Lots actually.
Playing house (if you’re 4), larping (if you’re older), table top games, D&D, pretend play etc. Basically all sorts is children’s playing and having fun in the backyard should also qualify even though the structure can be very loose.
Well, at at least they were able to catch something, rather than nothing. Now terrorists know that you can’t just walk through with an RPG on your shoulder. However, with rates like that, you could probably sneak through just about anything through as long as you try to hide it even a little bit.
But you could test the system by trying to violate the rules and documenting the catch rate. Surely, they are already doing so to measure its effectiveness.
If you’ve never thought about threat models, here are some questions to get you started.
You may have a lot to say, so write things down to clarify your thoughts. Once your threat model document is complete, it will be easier for you to figure it which tools you really need, and which ones are only nice to have.
