Mazda’s DMCA takedown kills a hobbyist’s smart car API tool
Reply in thread
The article states this was a hobby of his and he won't be defending it as it would entail financial cost of mounting a legal defense.

The problem is also thinking it's a one dimensional issue (left or right) when in reality you can pick and choosing different policies. In the US the two party system has cemented the notion that you have to pick red or blue. You end up vilifying the "others" instead of trying to find commonalities. Extremism is inevitable and corrodes society.

Those shows have people that play the game a lot (critical role played for years before going live), they don't teach mechanics to their viewers.

Two years under Taliban rule in Afghanistan: ‘I never thought the world would forget about us so quickly’
Reply in thread
Just like Afghans, many liked the US, the taliban didn't. There'd be a percentage of the population fighting tooth and nail.

Microsoft develops ultra durable glass plates that can store several TBs of data for 10000 years
Reply in thread
Data is data, you could store anything there. The question is if this would eventually reach some sort of consumer market. By the looks of it it's in a very early stage (where all equipment to read and write is still in RnD phase) so it's not where you can have a sata cable attached to it in your pc.

They can't afford to have a rookie. They need drivers with experience that can help develop the car.

Dnd 5e has many legacy concepts that exist the way they do just because thats how older versions worked.

Non Americans, what province is the "Alabama" of your country?
In Costa Rica its a subdivision of a province, San Carlos. Very famous for incest (not being taboo). In the costa rican subreddit there was a long thread about it not too long ago. The thread mostly contained anecdotal but has interesting comments; a doctor that sees lots of teenage pregnancy cases, a story of a priest that refused to continue marrying cousins in a small town.

Our entire existence may be a sort of stable spacetime bubble that can pop at any moment.
A white dwarf close to us could go supernova and wipe us without us being able to do anything about it.

Creators of Slay the Spire will migrate their next game to a new engine if Unity doesn't completely revert their changes

I don't know how you could change the engine without rewriting the entire thing basically from scratch.

Might not be the game for you. Part of the appeal of dnd for me is not being to get everything because of the dice. Not every door can be unlocked, not every social interaction will succeed. Even combat, I have to flee with half the party dead and then revive them later because a critical spell didn't succeed or a concentration save wasn't made.

Safety razors are great. One time purchase of a good quality one with very cheap blades that come in the hundreds. No stupid disposable plastic sticks.

Is there a way to directly transfer files between laptops and PCs using regular USB cables?
Reply in thread
If you already have a router no need to buy other cables/hardware. It's a piece of tech specifically design for networking. Just share the drive on the network and go at it. I think average wifi speed is like 1Gbps.
