Well it's likely, the expeditions make everyone go to the same spots and this one is particular is supposed to be done without hyperdrive, so everyone is going to visit the same 5 systems and their planets.

Ben on va espérer qu'il perde beaucoup d'argent alors.

I like how all we have are theropod tracks roughly the size of a sparrow's, so artists are like "yeah, I'm just gonna draw a sparrow with tiny clawed arms"

I mean, that's probably a reasonable assumption as any about how they might have looked, but still, it's funny.

Which are not, by far, most people. I am not sure why you're bringing the subject of banks. Of course they're shitty and mostly run by bastards. Okay.

But cryptomoney people are not banks, or groups of individuals. They're individuals. And they're in it because of the "get rich quick" scheme and push others to get into the pyramid's lower levels, because that's how they might get richer. So they're either bastards or being conned, or probably both.

Proof of work is a power/hardware catastrophe, and proof of stake is entrusting power to the already rich again. Crypto is not a new economy model, it's a bad subset of the old one with fancy fake ideals.

Last time I checked, most individuals are not, in fact, banks.

You're probably right. But getting free rein and an almost infinite source of funding is certainly not that environment.

A dangerous one even. Most fake medicine is dangerous because it replaces actual treatment in people's minds, but on top of that chiropractic can actually paralyze you.

For all the talks about freedom and "decentralised" utopia the crypto bro cults spew all the time, they are really just obsessed with making absurd amounts of money fast. Their only motivation is greed.

Can't say I'm surprised some regard Dubai as a goal. They only see the rich man's club, they don't care about how the sausage is made.

Roberts is relatively well-known in and out of the Star Citizen community for being a perfectionist at the best times.

In a parallel universe, Roberts would have been allowed to continue working on Freelancer, and it would still be in development hell in 2024 with no end in sight.

Well, good luck to Amazon trying to wipe my kindle remotely with black magic then.

It doesn't have WiFi configured at all.

Got a very old kindle for free, from someone getting rid of it. No touch, no backlight, most basic thing ever. I only got my account on it to download a dictionary.

I am never buying anything from Amazon to read on it, but I've been using it quite a bit, only on calibre converted stuff. It was not too hard to set up, and once it's done it's just drag n drop.

It was technically always licenses for every video game ever commercialised. It's just that a publisher has no practical way to control what happens to someone's floppy/optical disc/cartridge/whatever physical media.
