But not consistent state. The pipeline still needs to exist because most games require objects and environments to stay consistent across play sessions. That means generating from a 3D skeleton, at the very least, if…
Oh no, I guess someone will be going to jail! ...No? Then, uh, a punitive judgment? >Small fine that amounts to a cost-of-doing-business. Ah. Hm.
Neglecting black education was a political decision with an economic component, in that it helped support the system of slavery, and later kept jobs that required education segregated. Siphoning tax dollars from black…
Your selfishness is not equal to my desire for common prosperity. If anything, lone wolf-ism is what drags us down (no matter how proficient the wolf thinks he is). We live in a society.
I was (and remain) a few bad breaks from his situation. I'm not responsible for his state, but we absolutely are peers (i.e., same age, facing the same broad socioeconomic environment).
Hoity-toity campuses are actually more efficient than every little prince getting his own personal tutor. The problem in both cases is that the parents of these children, as a class, demand the income and social…
Front-running your trade.
A few Baltimore schools had to close down a few years ago because they had no working heat/AC. Asbestos is an issue. As are pests. It's not that it was uncomfortable to be in some of these buildings, it was literally…
This is a common misconception. The high per capita funding is partially due to required emergency funding of repairs resulting from deferred maintenance - both in the literal sense, and in reference to the hollowing…
As someone who was in the 90th percentile, I can confirm that it wasn't a universal quality about my entire being. I got to be in higher-level courses where I excelled. Those are generally available, even in public…
When my car broke down in the middle of a DoorDash run, I walked to a nearby park and sat next to a homeless guy who was about my age. He was deaf; we talked via text on our phones about how we'd ended up on the same…
>I am pretty sure that it is a political goal not an economic one, this is obvious considering US black literacy levels took until 1979 to be comparable to whites. I don't follow. 1979 would have been a high point in…
This seems like a suspiciously bold statement. Both in the assertion that these groups had achieved universal literacy, and in that other groups hadn't been at least as literate. Japan comes to mind, wrt the latter.…
Yup. Newer products use various tricks to try to fill in the gaps that their physical reality can't overcome, but ultimately there's no getting around that reality. I will say that the Sony upright boom boxes aren't to…
What if you want the funk? Need the funk? Gotta have that funk? On a more serious note: "wash your bowl, but upside down (because you'll notice the creator's stamp on the bottom, who'll you'll look up, meet, and make a…

Oh, I'm sure it's even fuzzier than that. Apple's cachet over the past 25 years was built on the type of class consumerism that reflects and then amplifies a lot of America's particular brand of social dysfunction. Much…
It's been a few years since I worked at [big tech retailer], but 8K TVs basically didn't sell at the time. There was basically no native content - even the demos were upscaled 4K - and it was very hard to tell the…
It is. The coffee supply chain and economic exploitation of caffeine dependency are considered locked-down enough to tolerate, though (as with alcohol). The problem with many illegal drugs isn't their physiological…
Kim also subtly represents a flavor of (classical) liberal populism that is at odds with the neoliberal empire-making much of the ultra-rich engage in. Both make the bulk of their money by exploiting resources that they…
I think it's a bit much to say that there's no advantage to being German, either in today's world or historically.
It's a fair comparison. Daniel Penney too. The main difference between the four parties is who killed people who'd killed others, and who killed people who hadn't actually done anything.
Yeah, it doesn't have to be centralized. I watched aghast at the narrative building around the Trayvon Martin murder in real-time across Reddit and The Website Which Shall Not Be Named. No one was giving marching…
It makes the incredulity over the recent unpleasantness all the more... something. What world do you have to live in NOT to see the rationale? People have set themselves on fire over causes they felt passionately about,…
Unfortunately, the monetary and political interests in security theater became entrenched after 9/11. I'm afraid something similar might happen to trains eventually, if they're ever used in a sufficiently theatrical…
