Conceptually, LoL filled a hole. DotA was DotA, complicated, hard, lots of nuance. Some people wanted an even more complicated DotA. Heroes of Newerth filled that hole. Some people wanted a simpler DotA. LoL filled that hole.

I personally preferred HoN, but I can't fault people for preferring LoL.

As a family...I need the family sharing provided by steam. Especially the recent beta version. It's fantastic.

None of that makes sense with how taxes actually work. For every $1 donated to charity, the maximum you're getting back is 0.37 from the tax deduction. That's assuming you're in the max tax bracket. The higher your tax bracket, the cheaper it is to give to charity, but it's never better than keeping the money yourself.

There are games that can be played with charitable donations, but cash to a foundation is not really the way. The real games are played around with hard to value assets like art/jewelry where massively inflated values and weird lease terms can lead to some really questionable outcomes. For example "loaning" art to a museum and writing off the "rent" after having it appraised for some insane value.

Essentially yes. I don't know how much of the designs but weight driven and earlier water driven clocks existed.

[–] druidjaidan 4 points 8 months ago (3 children)

Quartz? Quartz clocks are about 100 years old. You make it sound ljke we went from sundials to Casios lol. Mechanical clocks are around 1800 years old. Pendulum clocks around 500 years old and spring mechanical slightly younger.

Yup it will. In fact well before the water boils the chlorine will have come out of solution.

The regen level probably makes no difference if combined with already efficient driving. The idea of coasting by letting off the pedal fully in an EV is flawed. You "coast" in an EV by holding the pedal in a neutral power setting.

Sorry I read "hopefully" as an imperative. At least in the US static home IPs are very rare so I generally assume some form of DDNS will be needed for any home hosting solution

[–] druidjaidan 2 points 11 months ago (3 children)

Or just a dynamics dns service like duckdns. Point a CNAME at your duckdns name. Or better still, a cron running locally and updating cloudflare dns etc. Lots of better options for home hosting than hoping your ip stays static.

Truth. The generative AI stuff is just slightly better, slightly more accessible machine learning technologies trained on massive amounts of public internet data.

About the jobs part though, it's also creating a lot of jobs. Will it be more or less jobs long term, it's hard to say. However, machine learning right now creates a ton of high paying technical jobs.

How about this. If self check out is a problem go back to paying cashiers.
