News for hackers. Stuff that matters.

And don't forget closing the PS3 and Vita Playstation stores, which they announced at the same time:

This is a weird marketing strategy. They must feel free to do as they please since they know consumers are trapped.

This comment doesn't belong on HN.
Still not enough, if by a simple calculation they make 200,000$ of profits per day. The fine should be higher than the profit, period.
There is also this video from Hank Green discussing this topic a little more:

Your first sentence literally mirrors this slogan:

Do you still take this man at his word, after all he's done?

Thanks for the filter, very useful! I'm keeping this on until Reddit backtracks.

Good observation. We reuse a lot of the same assets in video games.
Re:Ask HN: How are you using GPT to be productive? on Saturday March 25, 2023 @05:19AM (#35300921)
Thank you for your well written response. I found it informative as I'm also currently exploring ways to leverage ChatGPT in my daily workflow. I also found it interesting that your answer kind of mirrors the writing style of ChatGPT, especially at the end there.

I'm not saying you used it to write that response by the way, just that it may become more and more common for people to adopt this style the more ChatGPT's usage is widespread.

Is that some sort of racist comment? 30 seconds of Google search would've told you that he's a French citizen, speaking in the french senate in that video.

Why would you say that? Can you elaborate? As far as I'm concerned, it is a great free online resource which makes learning accessible to everyone. Sal Khan is also an excellent teacher.

Maya has been supporting Python for a long long time, it even supports Python 3 now. There is no more need to use MELscript to develop tools for it anymore, even though some commands are run using the MELscript wrapper in Python, but even then it's very rare.

Pretty much all the tools I've developed in the past couple of years for AAA games have been almost exclusively made with Python.

One of them we even developed tools to be DCC agnostic, which means that they could run both in Maya and 3ds Max flawlessly.

The phone manufacturers will be fine. There won't really be any massive damage to their revenue, the only party that will be hurt in the long run is the consumer.
Re:Things I do to be consistently happy on Sunday August 19, 2012 @05:58PM (#4405389)
"Correlation doesn't prove causation"

Exactly.

In the case of these unhappy people you know, perhaps the very fact that they're unhappy leads them to seek knowledge and solace in these self-help books and articles.

Re:Facebook ventures into online gambling on Tuesday August 07, 2012 @09:30AM (#4349979)
Am I the only that thinks this is very, very wrong? Basically, indoctrinate from a very young age your future clientele to use your website for day to day activites while making it acceptable for the parents to let their kids use Facebook from a very young age, increasing brand awareness by doing so, then when they're ready BLAM. Give them easy access to these gambling features.

I fear this is a very dangerous move morally for Facebook, and are venturing a lot more into the "evil" category than just "selling your privacy" evil.
