Spent 4,000 hours on Dota 2. Finally kicked the habit and Valve goes and drops Deadlock 🙄

Getty Images has an image generator trained exclusively on licensed images. I’m not aware of any text generators that do the same.

I’m very conflicted about that community because on the one hand they’re exactly correct that car-centric infrastructure is a fucking atrocity but on the other hand they elide that directly into demonizing car owners with seemingly no understanding that car-centric infrastructure makes car ownership mandatory in many places.

It was actually rather successful! Some papers about this research are available here (first use of a microwave to thaw living rats) and here (comparison of some other warming methods), and there’s a good Tom Scott video on the experiment as well.

Oh cool, we’re schizoposting again

This has been a feature on iOS for a long time—I’ve still got some custom patterns from back in high school

I would implement two salary rules for baseball:

• A hard salary floor and cap. Super cheap teams like the current Rockies that are all but guaranteed to lose is a detriment to the competitiveness of the entire league, as are pay-to-win juggernauts
• No deferred money contracts. They’re bad for competitiveness (see the current Dodgers) and a bummer for fan bases when the time comes to pay out the deferred money and the team can’t afford a viable roster.

I’m curious what you identify as poorly made—I’m not a psychology researcher, but their methodology and statistical analysis seem basically credible.

It’s just one study, but there is science to back that up

Oh, fair enough

I never said it was only semantically different, only that you were making a semantic argument: namely, citing the semantic distinction between copying and stealing as grounds for one being acceptable and the other not (“stealing” is wrong but I’m “copying”), ignoring that the injustice against the work’s creator is not pragmatically different. Practically speaking, the author is equally robbed whether you “copy” or “steal”; therefore, arguing that copying is not stealing obscures the heart of the matter behind a semantic distinction.

That’s a semantic point. The truth is that artists deserve to be paid for their work. Whether you “copy” or “steal”, you’re getting the work without paying the creator. That’s fundamentally shitty behavior.

Cool, you hate creatives and feel entitled to their work on the basis of semantics

In case anybody’s curious, buses are generally much wider than cars (my local buses are 8’6”, compared to the 6’6” Honda Odyssey); their seats are also narrower and the walls thinner, which adds up to a lot of interior space.

Yeah, this guy is either trolling or doesn’t have the faintest clue what a good education actually comprises.

Yes, wholeheartedly. They’re not cheating the school—they’re cheating themselves. If you’re paying 200k+ for an education, for what earthly reason would you then skip the actual education?

Lucky you, it’s all over my company.

Bio break.

I don’t think I have to elaborate on that one.

It’s in the name: liability. If the instance gets sued, only the LLC’s assets can be claimed.

There may be other reasons that OP has in mind, but that’s the most obvious benefit I see.
