Reformatting InfoWars as a serious, unironic branch of the Onion that deals with misinformation would just be great.

Zero. Because they don’t need a fake substitute.

Considering the Catholic Church banned chess and excommunicated several priests who were caught playing it, I’d believe it. But of course, kiddy diddling is just fine.

Rebellious priests invented the folding chess set because of the ban actually.

This is just the difference between science and academia.

Old Bungie also opened up the Marathon engine and released the assets before the Microsoft takeover. You can play that game on any modern platform while Oni is lingering in abandonedware land, unplayable and unprofitable.

It would be nice to get a version of Alyx that didn’t require a vr headset. It would also be nice if HL3 doesn’t require a vr headset.

change log: We’ve adjusted the 20 year old UI to better reflect modern aesthetic trends that our new hires learned in school.

If Sony games aren’t safe to play without a PSN account, I better not play them at all.

I’ve dropped websites over less.

I thought that was the gas station hotdog.

It stole it from Greenland.

The things you mentioned are tools for researchers. This discussion is about art.

Trump plays dirty. He’s threaten to run as an independent and split the R vote.

Yeah, I just checked. I can see my own dislikes. They hide the number directly, but I can see how many likes I have and the ratio of likes to unlikes.

Also, the creators that I follow didn’t like having the dislikes removed. Even if they did, I can make my own judgement calls. I’m sure the creators who are more dependent on sponsorships like not having their embarrassments visible. I’m sure IH doesn’t mind that stuff not being visible for “his” hole video.

Except that the uploader can still see the downvote count. It was just removed so that corporations wouldn’t be embarrassed when they put out an unpopular trailer or product.

There’s a long list of historic examples of people who actual are what the techbros fantasy about being. I was limiting myself to living examples of people who were just interested in the tech. Carmack’s comments when he left facebook was fun to see. I always thought he was better then that company.

When Google removed the dislikes from youtube videos, one of the lies they told was it was for the users(or uploader’s) mental health.

A few things the cynics are missing.

1. The engineers who are designing this car don’t have the political power to push for better mass transit.
2. Even in ideal circumstances, there will still be a need for personal transport vehicles and infrastructure. Small cars will still be needed.
3. Aptera has 31 employees as of 2023. If they’re working overtime, it’s because they’re letting the company do it. Maintaining good moral is way more important in small companies.

Well, Stark is actually a fictional character in a genre that too often uses the term “smartest X alive” when that’s not how intelligence works at all. Also, like others have said, Howard Hughes is more likely the inspiration for Stark. That being said, the closest irl “tech savant” I can think of is John Carmack.
