They just do that nowadays. It’s all over the place. It will just keep happening, shouldn’t bother replacing them.

Not sure why anyone expects any different, it’s simply the nature of game development. Most of the game development staff isn’t needed after release to maintain the launched game.

The type of staff needed at each stage of development varies quite a bit. Unless the studio is large enough that it has multiple projects going at all times at different points of development that it can move people between, there will be people that are no longer needed after major milestones. You don’t need a full story/quest writing team through release for example, even if you have post-release DLC planned, but you don’t see articles written about those layoffs halfway through development.

Apples next plan to reduce your photo size on the phone so they can continue to provide absolute minimum storage options. They would probably still have 16GB iPhones if this was even a glimmer of a possibility a few years ago.

I was curious where the telematics came from, and how they could correlate that with specific accidents…

The telematics data came from Cambridge Mobile Telematics, or CMT, which supplies DriveWell technology used by insurance companies, fleets and various safe-driving programs.

DriveWell isn’t necessarily an app you’d recognize by that name. The technology can live inside an insurer’s branded app and automatically detect trips using the phone’s sensors and location data. Depending on the program, it can record speeding, hard braking, aggressive acceleration, phone interaction and likely crashes.

If you’ve ever agreed to let your insurance company watch you drive in exchange for a discount, there’s a decent chance you’ve met this general species of electronic hall monitor.

Bet that 2% discount isn’t looking like such a good deal anymore to some people.

It really depends on the facility. Some are better than others. They vary wildly and it’s hard for you as a consumer to know which ones are good and which are bad. Some large zoos have extensive conservation programs and focus around education, and some are just animals in jail for entertainment. From the outside it’s hard to tell the difference a lot of the time.

It’s one of the reasons I support Alveus Sanctuary and their recent expansions and future plans. Their facilities and programs are based around video streaming and chat interaction, instead of in person exhibits. They have collaborative events with streamers, etc. in person to help further their reach to new people and educate viewers that otherwise may never interact at all with that type of content. Otherwise all of the animals have limited human interaction only with the employees. Those in person collaborations are always about educating the viewers about the animals and various societal links related to them. Things like pesticide use on bugs and how that propagates up the food chain, selective breeding and trade of exotic animals, amphibians and environmental pollution, etc.

And yet the Mint says they’ll be in circulation, which indicates they will be distributed as legal tender.

Buying collectors coins direct from the mint always costs more than face value. That’s nothing new or special.

The mint violating the law to mint this as legal tender (since they claim they’ll be in circulation too) is the actual story.

This is almost certainly why he won’t answer the question either way. If he says that he wouldn’t, Trump would just fire him and replace him with someone that says they would privately, away from any public scrutiny at all.

It would be a net negative for everyone other than fascists.

Don’t know this specific situation, but there are animals in captivity because they’re unable to be released back into the wild for various reasons. Things like animals being actively rehabilitated. Or ones that are now animal ambassadors used to teach people about the species or parts of human society that negatively affect wildlife. Maybe because they are unable to fly anymore, or they imprinted on humans, are unable to forage or hunt properly, etc.

Regardless of what they said about it back when Cyberpunk launched, I still believe they wasted a dramatically outsized amount of valuable development resources on forcing it to work on old consoles, which were eventually abandoned anyway. It never should have been released on those old systems in the first place. Tons of resources that should have been used to optimize the current gen and PC releases.

It certainly seems like they learned from that however. Even if other developers still haven’t.

Would really like to understand how oral semalglutode contains something like 70x the active ingredient of subQ semalglutode, yet the oral is cheaper.

Not to defend the drug price bullshit in any way, everything is more expensive than it should be across the board… but if those price differences are a pill versus a prefilled autoinjector, that’s a big difference in material and manufacturing cost per dose.

A hundred years from now they’ll have a value, as American Nazi memorabilia. There is always a value in old coinage and relics.

That’s pretty normal when you’re buying small amounts directly from the mint. You really only do that when you are looking to collect, and intend to hold them in mint condition until the value is increased from rarity years down the line.

This isn’t particularly special other than the fact that the Mint is barred by law from making coins for living presidents. Well, until now of course because of Trump’s massively inflated ego, complete lack of self awareness, and ignoring laws.

You assume he didn’t leave his weapons loaded. And that he hadn’t modified them with a hair trigger, etc.

This is the type of person that has an entire gun room, not just a safe or two, an entire room dedicated to guns.

That helps a bit but doesn’t fix studios not remixing audio properly from the theater mix to home audio where the majority of people have basic stereo. No excuse since every physical format and online service supports multiple audio streams.

They claim voter fraud every time anyway.

Hell Trump was complaining about fraud when he won. Twice.

It’s rather that the machines give generic errors with no useful info, requiring calling for service. And if the minimum wage workers don’t follow the instructions correctly for cleaning it will fail, but won’t give an error until the end of the process hours later.

They’re not actually broken, it’s just a cleaning process that is easy to do wrong when you don’t care because you’re paid pennies.

Oh they definitely have plans, but that’s exactly what they have been forced to do.

The civilians in charge of the government refuse to listen to the experts though. Any expert, not just the military. So they can’t use any of the plans, they instead have to handle everything on the fly. Like running an improv show with non-comedians.

Of course it is.

You assume they have a problem throwing someone under the bus for no reason. He’s just not useful anymore, no use means no protection. Especially since they can now use him as a data point to “prove” they’re deporting everyone here illegally, even supporters. Just like how fascist outlets like Fox News occasionally have small segments that are accurate or against the narrative, just to point to as some sort of proof that they’re not pure fascist propaganda.

Probably didn’t help he actually did overstay his visa, and did not appear in court as required so he did have an existing deportation order… and also somehow angered Laura Loomer who is one of Trump’s current “advisors”. Seems rather similar to the adage about not committing more than one crime at a time.

Ironically, his deportation is actually a completely accurate and legitimate one with the system working exactly as it should.
