Just a bastard roaming around the world

  • "Hey, you know that fancy AI we're developing? I just had a crazy cool idea to use it for!"

  • They just write it off!

  • That's... Not very much in this context. Makes me think that WB is penny pinching, which doesn't make too much sense. Wouldn't it be better to release the movie and profit from it than just having a 21% discount?

    I don't know, just thinking loud here...

  • So if I get this right: I lost 80 million by making this movie and shelving it. I made another movie that I spent another 80 million but made 40 million in profit. Then, instead of paying taxes for 120 million (the 80 million it made + 40 million extra) I'll pay only over the 40? This would start to make sense about Warner Brothers...

  • Can someone explain what a tax write off is? I have this one movie that is finished that I spent 80 million to make. I decided to "write it off". So when I get to pay my taxes I get a 80 million discount?

  • I hate Hate HATE that I'm going to say this: the iPad was just a bigger iPhone, yet here we are. It's the perfect device for consumption and light work, yet people had no idea about what to do with it at first.

    I'm more irked about that thing being gigantic and strapped to your face, thought. It's the next level of social isolation, in a level even higher that the one cause by smartphones, and I'm not ok with that. Companies actually want to hijack and sell your reality back to you.

  • Thank you. Windows is plain better for the average user, and that's a hard pill for many to swallow. Heck, I force myself to use Linux time to time but I always go back because the Affinity suite and my fingerprint reader only works on Windows. I have no reason to stay on Linux, it's too limited outside niche cases.

  • That I can help. Back in the day, to access someone’s else computer you literally hooked up yours to a phone line. Your desktop would then dial to some number you got that had another computer listening to answer, and they would start a “conversation”. Your computer sent what to us would sound like noise, the receiving computer would listen to that noise and answer back. Voilá, you’re connected to a network!

    This is how it sounded like

    And here’s an explanation about what’s happening.

  • And warmer!

  • The review was great, and the fact that Apple went it's way to try and do something to be seen as an innovator is awesome, for one reason only: they failed horribly.

    Granted, this is the best VR handset that could be done with today's tech, and even then it's bad. There's no use outside niche applications, and too much constraints and trade offs for it to be reliable. We need a huge advance in tech for AR be feasible and socially acceptable.

    And you can't even play proper games with this thing.

  • I don't get the downvotes, you made a really good point. The Hells Angels used to use Nazi iconography not because they were sympathisers, but because they thought it looked cool and it pissed people off. Not the brightest idea if you ask me.

    While I get the idea behind adopting Satan, I don't think it'll do any favors against Christians other than call them out. This is why I prefer to call myself an Atheist than Satanist, it gets my point clearer.

  • I find really disingenuous to talk about how sideloading would be a security nightmare when IOS had serious exploits that weren't addressed for years.

  • Every company want slaves, Elon is just saying out loud the quiet part.

    Unionize now.

  • I don't think so, they could have done it to not spend support time and resources with it.

  • This is so weird, I don't see ads anywher-

    remembers that NextDNS is installed

    Oh. Right.

  • Just made me realize I haven't printed anything in what, 5 years? Even at work, sharing files is way easier.

  • Was the institute responsible for the research by any chance named OCP?

    • proprietary light bulbs, tires and air valves.
    • can only open anything engine related like fluids at the dealership.
    • can only fix broken windows at the dealership.
    • repairing means having to swap the old car for a new one for a fee, or stay with the defective car. The old car will be shredded to "save the environment", following their "green" practices.
  • Just passing by to say that I love those kind of questions, because it's so basic and elementary, yet really mind fucking when you stop to think about it. The answers here are really great.
