I think AI, in this case, is overkill. Create ~10 common enemy class and spawn them based on your strategy history, equipment and game pace. Each and every enemy would act differently like if you were more on sniping side, you would get snipers and fast units spawned. With mediocre AI this would make the game appear as having very good AI to regular player.
Simply introduce zoom in/zoom out for the whole desktop separated to each screen like in browser (you can zoom certain tabs/sites and have that memorised). Problem solved.
> You can choose who you share your stories with on Facebook.
This is very unintuitive though. It is very easy to make a mistake, like sending a photo to multiple people create a group of them instead of sending them separately. Facebook is doing everything in its power to make your posts public. If they had some kind easy to use circles, that would be best.
Funny that Satya Nadella is praised on HN for his business sense and revolutionary thinking, yet when something like this happens, no one seems to remember about him. He is a CEO, it's his signature that allows this. Think about all Windows 10 spying, stupid updates policy etc. next time you praise him.
It might sound bad, but usually, when I was doing volume, and I would travel to the different country, region, I would call PayPal central and let them know. While I am all about privacy, this always made them put some comment on my account that helped me pass all the bad things. "We need more documents" issue? Solved in hours. $20K spike of revenue in few days? Not a problem!
One day, there will be a tech giant, that will let us disable all new, amazing, revolutionary, bloated features instead of forcing us to use them. One day...
Politics is much more appealing. It's what drive power hungry people. Mark have money, have some power, makes an impact with his decisions. Politics gives access to much more power. Influencing media and news does this as well. Such power can be used to change election results, start riots, force your own agendas and control thinking stream of masses.
The interesting thing that happened to me the other day regarding corporates messing with democracy.
First time I have got a suggestion on my mobile for Google+ article to read (I am not using Google+ at all) was I think right after the presidency was won by Trump - the article was highly critical of him. Then within a week, I have got another two suggestions for similar articles that were critical of him. And then nothing again. No suggestion since then.
Now, as being a person that does not follow any mainstream media, no TV news, etc. this smelled like outright propaganda. Forcing their corporate views on to me. I might not be supporter of Trump, but I can think on my own, and I want to judge a President based on their actions rather than media storm started by media companies that lost credibility during the elections.
If they could make an official Facebook app less resource hogging, more user-friendly and usable on older mobile phones, they would be back in the game. But their app is probably the worst app you can have on your phone. It's terrible, slow and a joke. I would expect such an app from Verizon or GoDaddy, not from Facebook.
I find this post extremely one sided. It seems that the author is too busy to praise the machines without trying to determine the bad side of using all automatic systems in such a sensitive place like an airport.
Imagine a hack attack or bug (it happens) that causes all terminals to stop working for 12 hours on the airport like JFK. What would be the losses? Would it be still worth it?
In my opinion AI should complement humans, not substitute them. The word is not working in A and B scenarios only, there is always more options.
I do not understand why such a company would not go for central European company where it would get the price for quality ratio much better than in the US. I know that building a factory by Foxconn is probably a way to pay building tax, but the question is if that outweighs revenue.
At least I doubt it will happen in this millennium. We have much more real problems today. The world is in a bad place and instead of trying to save resources, make it a better place for our kids, we focus on providing more social benefits. I have been living with people with difficult financial situation for a while and the last thing they needed was handouts. They wanted jobs, work, way to interact with people and learn new things. Not free money.
It was same with industrialisation. All the crying that factories will destroy economies and cause massive unemployment which didn't do. It did a lot of good instead.
Well, there was basic income in some communist countries and it failed on a social level.
Automation will not reduce overall jobs same way industrialization did not do that. Automation will create more jobs in services instead. Basic income is crazy socialist dream that was tested in communism already and it failed.
You need to ask him for that. But about flat management - I heard many people saying flat management system have turned Valve to the highschool-style community with "Cool Kids" running things and some people being pushed into the "corner". I have read stories where people comment on how a lot of things are immature in the company. Sorry, I am busy coding now so cannot send citations your way, but they are not hard to find with Google.
