    Gog Promotional E-Mail Containing Nazi Symbols Goes Out to Subscribers

    Jump

  • I also recognize that placing two such runes next to each other could create an unfortunate association with symbols used by the Nazi regime. This was noticed before distribution, and out of respect for local sensitivities, the material was not sent to the German community.

    Zero explanation for why there were two of them, and the thing about Germany makes them look worse.

  • I assume we're still going to pave the surface of the planet with datacentres for some reason?

    At the very least let us cut the trees and pour the foundations before bankruptcy forces the consequences to be socialised.

  • Music just isn't good anymore

    Jump

  • I try my best to do this, and find lots of great new music.

    I still find a lot of new popular music just doesn't do it for me, and I think it's because as you've heard more music, the it's harder to find something that sounds fresh.

    When I was in the peak of that chart I was really into stuff like Spacehog, who seemed really cool to me at the time, but probably would have sounded a bit derivative to my parents. At the same time my dad loved Smashing Pumpkins enough to buy all their albums...

  • ‘Embarrassment for Japan’: PM wants to cut sales tax but cash registers say no

    Jump

  • Huh, I hadn't considered division. I guess that would explain why 0 is harder than 1, at least for tax rate. They must have already been able to handle 0 computed tax e.g. 5円 at 8%.

    Have you actually seen a technical discussion about this? I find it fascinating

  • That I at least sort of understand, but 1 being easier to support than 0? Neighbour comment might be onto something with the division thing.

  • When other countries say Americans are loud, what does this mean?

    Jump

  • Those were just random examples that came to mind. I'm sure there are places where people have an impression of Chinese people based on tourists, etc.

    Americans just stand out because you see them everywhere, because they have a huge amount of wealth.

    The point I was trying to make is that it's tourists in general who might tend to be more annoying.

  • ‘Embarrassment for Japan’: PM wants to cut sales tax but cash registers say no

    Jump

  • I thought it was just an overdramatic way of saying that it's difficult to change the tax rate, but:

    But a compromise has surfaced: the government is now floating the idea of reducing the tax on food to 1%, which could be done in five or six months.

    How could you possibly build something this stupid? Maybe we'll just store the tax rate, as a percentage, minus 1, in 4 bits.

    I guess realistically it's probably something about creating multiple transactions and having one of them be invalid, but wouldn't that also break when the tax gets rounded to zero?

  • When other countries say Americans are loud, what does this mean?

    Jump

  • I think they are just talking about annoying main-character type people you see traveling all over the world. It's not really an American thing, it's just that a you're likely to come across an American one of these assholes due to various statistical factors. I'm sure in Spain they have the same idea about the English, or in Indonesia about Australians.

    If you're the type of person to think about this and contemplate how people perceive you, I strongly suspect you are not going to annoy anyone.

  • US students on why they booed their pro-AI graduation speakers: ‘They’re not reading the room’

    Jump

  • Yeah this seems right. It's not comparable to who was excited about computers or even automobiles. It's comparable to who was excited about offshoring, colonisation, or slavery.

    So class war as usual.

  • To whom? I just checked, today alone were 20 artists played.

    You don't have to be perfect with this. Just pick someone who made a new album you loved; ideally someone who actually needs the money. And you can always buy vinyl, merch, or a digital album instead of just donating.
