NES games are the classical music of gaming. Sure, some people enjoy them, but I would bet that the vast majority would rather play 2019 AAA titles.

Are you suggesting some law preventing individuals from commenting on products and services unless they're being paid to do so?

Or only if the company providing those goods/services doesn't like what is being said, or who is saying it?

> Fun fact: another Buran sat in an abandoned lot in an Inner Sydney (Australia) suburb for many years.

That wasn't an actual Buran, it was a test vehicle used to test the handling of the aircraft for gliding and landing. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OK-GLI

It's probably meant to alleviate fear of retribution.

> Production is also largely illegal in Canada

Production is only illegal in the same way that tobacco production is illegal - you have to be licences to produce and sell cannabis products.

The Canadian government started publishing the production and export numbers for licences medical producers at the end of 2017 [0]. Looks like the total amount exported is a few hundred kilograms of dried canabis and a few dozen liters of cannabis oil per month.

We have summary and indictable offences. A summary offence is more or less a misdemeanor, an indictable offence is basically a felony.

That does happen, but I think it's only done with fixed platform structures[0], rather than the mobile platforms like in the article. Apparently 532 rigs have been turned into reefs in the Gulf of Mexico[1].

Cruise Automation presumably, which is owned by GM.

Who cares if public ashtrays are "pillaged"?

> Isn’t a pass going backward about avoiding a defender they can’t get past?

Yes, that's basically what I'm saying is bad about the statement that backwards passes don't help you score goals.

> Useful backward passes fall into at least two categories. The ones that eventually result in an impect, and the ones that run down the clock at the end of the game.

I think this is almost correct, but I think there is a third category: Backwards passes that immediately result in a shot resulting in a goal. In the example video I posted above, the final pass is backwards and is immediately shot into the net. This doesn't increase impect (ie: Messi dribbles past 4 players, then shoots and scores past 3 more, is only impect +4, according to the article).

That was a really interesting read, thanks for sharing it.

> Impect disregards all passes that go backwards or don’t beat any defender. It’s a correct assessment, a pass that doesn’t travel forwards, doesn’t help you score. Can’t argue with that.

This is a really odd statement. Plenty of passes don't go forward but absolutely do increase the likelihood of scoring. For example, the final pass here [0] is backwards, might even allow an additional defender time to track back (-1 packing?) but opens up the space required to take a shot and score.

> Open-plan offices have taken off because of a desire to increase interaction and collaboration among workers.

Open-plan offices have taken off because of a desire to decrease real-estate costs and stuff more employees into the same space.

DJI's Macic Pro Platinum uses a different rotor design and rotor frequency to make it much quieter than previous models. Apparently it sounds more like a desk fan than a hive of angry bees.[0]

I think the person you're replying to was asking how to Model 3 in general is allowed to be sold and driven without crash test results available, not how the specific vehicle in the article is allowed to be re-sold after an accident.

That doesn't make any sense, and would be a really strange way to think about actual vs reported GDP.

The actual (real, factual) number just is what it is. The only number that can be inflated/suppressed/fudged/faked is the reported number.

A country might want to inflate their reported GDP to make the country look more attractive to foreign investment.

> China's GDP is probably 10% of what they reported.

> other way around ... likely to be inflated, not suppressed.

If their GDP is actually 10% of what they report, then the reports are inflated.

Adult bears definitely can climb trees. [0] So can adult humans, obviously.

Visibility is basically zero, a remote operator wouldn't be able to see anything.

A lot of people are better at a lot of things than the current administration, that shouldn't be a benchmark.

And this argument is garbage. Individuals accumulating massive amounts of wealth doesn't do any good for society.

Wasn't Google famous for giving devs 20% play time to work on whatever passion project they wanted?

> The theory being that a sniper or drone operator cannot use the "live TV" footage to know their exact position.

How is this helpful in either of these cases? A sniper needs eyes on, a drone operator probably has live video from the drone. I don't see how a TV delay would have any effect.

We don't even need a cure for cancer, we'll just not re-materialize the tumors. Brilliant!

You're totally misunderstanding the situation.There are three hypothetical people involved here. An employee, who works below a manager, who works below a VP.

The manager wants to promote the employee, but she needs permission from the VP. So the manager asks the VP to promote the employee.

You seriously don't understand that sometimes people are promoted for being good at their job, and sometimes people are fired for being bad at their job?

> The US nuclear triad is way out of date and potentially vulnerable to a first strike.

How are nuclear submarines vulnerable to a first strike?

Most people want a car that they can actually buy. How long until I can walk into a Tesla dealership and have a Model 3 within the week?

That's not relevant to the discussion of whether or not GitLab is open source.

> Anything that could cause harm is bad.

Unless the thing is guns, then it doesn't matter how many children are killed.
