Still hosted by MTV’s Dan Cortese.

They would have rescheduled for that.

That is if there is still an optical drive market in the future.

Sony never made a big deal of how the PS5 can play Ultra HD disks the way they did with DVD and Blu-ray. Ultra HD sales seem a lot smaller than previous renditions. You also have a lot of content being kept behind the streaming paywall rather than getting released.

I don’t think there will be a large enough market to support 8K, backed up by the fact that a specification has been written but no one wants to go forward with making the disks and drives.

MTV’s Spring Break would be a lot crazier.

You can switch recommendations to “familiar” if you don’t want new music.

It depends on the person.

I think they, for the majority of people, there is a rough number that could be derived from a standard of living they would want and not have to work. It isn’t a common number across people as people want different things.

That said, there are some people for whom there isn’t a number to satisfy them. Wealth becomes a high score to measure against others. For them, there is no good enough.

I understand that. I’m just wondering if you can push these rulemaking bodies to the legislative branch and what it would look like.

So, as a dumb question, what would it take for all rule-making bodies to be under the legislative branch instead of the executive branch? Do you devolve the responsibility to one house only? Do you require elected officials on these committees or can you devolve these tasks to a legislative controlled body?

It is funny how people have criticized American tech bros and praised Chinese development when it appears that they were both using the same fundamental investment philosophy.

Try Ask Lemmy posts?

Even government agencies price a human life around $5M. This is shockingly cheap.

Part of the issue with the value of college isn’t that it educated, but that it acted like an ordeal to overcome and filtered out people who didn’t have the makings of being a leader. Not all of that is due to educational ability.

This is explains why the people I know who love Doctor Who liked Star Trek: Picard. If you can suspend your disbelief for Doctor Who, Picard had some crazy scenes that felt good in the moment but kind of locally breaks reality and seems kind of stupid in the broader context.

I’m a structural engineer; I design the structural elements of the bridge. Civil engineers design the geometry of the bridge and the road/sidewalk/track it serves. Geotechnical engineers verify that the soil can withstand the design loads and help with foundation design. If water is involved, hydraulic engineers deal with the openings on water.

We try to keep architects as far away from the design as possible.

I don’t know. I’ve had this issue with some adults as well.

The Chinese ship actively blocking a rescue operation until they fully understood the potential blowback.

It depends on my clients. For some, I’m presenting the state of the art. For others, I’m dragging them decades into the future. For the other others, they are making me learn and it is a good feeling.

I saw this movie. Did it involve bringing kids to outer space and an AI robot that just wanted to help?

Part of the discussion with US rail is that American rail carries some freight service and it would be better environmentally to maintain that service than go all passenger.

For profit companies have shown themselves as being bad at running freight rail, but the solution to public rail needs to include freight.

Yes. The MAGA group probably wouldn’t be as large, but they would still be there and very angry.
