Apparently, this is the code for a Hello World program in Malbolge:

In about half of the states, that meets the threshold for a charge of felony theft. If they could count the full $1500 as a theft, (instead of $1485), it would qualify as felony theft in all but six states.

I don't know enough about the legal side to know if it could be pursued as theft though.

The audit was not about finding the exact cause of the previous incidents:

The audit, which is kind of like a quality control inspection for large companies, analyzed 89 aspects of Boeing’s 737 Max production

The audit looks at current production to assess wether or not everything is being done to prevent further hazards (they failed over a third of the inspections). Determining what caused the past incidents would be assigned to the equivalent of crime scene investigators (FAA detectives?).

Determining production line compliance and investigating the cause of a major malfunction are two entirely different beasts.

Pasting the first section of the article because of the stupid anti-adblocker on Mobile:

  • Shinobi Warfare's developer is rewarding players for positive reviews, violating Steam's terms of service agreement.
  • The controversial practice was revealed by a Reddit user, leading to concerns about inauthentic reviews flooding the game.
  • Despite reports to Steam support, Shinobi Warfare continues to face backlash for questionable tactics and content appropriation.

Shinobi Warfare, a 2D turn-based RPG multiplayer game, is being called out by Steam users after it was discovered that the developer has been rewarding players with in-game currency for leaving a positive review. The lucrative reward has led to the game receiving an 'overwhelmingly positive' review badge, but goes against the platform's terms of service agreement.

The discovery was made by Reddit user Glavurdan, who took to the Steam subreddit yesterday to reveal their findings. The post has multiple images of the questionable practice, with the most notable being on the Shinobi Warfare Discord server, where an admin on the server offered players 1,000 in-game gems to leave a positive review.

Was hoping for more about the game takedowns, but not much of anything was said:

LP: [...] how does The Pokémon Company handle Cease & Desist letters with regards to fan projects? How did you find them, and where did you draw the line on what's allowed and what the company thinks needs to be shut down?

DM: Short answer: [...] someone from the company would send me a link to a news article, or I would stumble across it myself. [...] I say this to my students: the worst thing on earth is when your "fan" project gets press, because now I know about you.

LP: Oh. Oh no.

DM: But that's not the end of the equation. You don't send a takedown right away. You wait to see if they get funded (for a Kickstarter or similar); if they get funded then that's when you engage. No one likes suing fans.

I would use it for like 1 game on the quest store and more portable/wireless VR on PC. Even though my Index, is superior in almost every way, an easy headset to give to a visitor would be nice.

I probably wouldn't pay $200 for one, but if a friend was getting rid of one for $50-100 I would likely snatch it up.

Here's the map of the April eclipse across the US. It will go from Dallas Texas and curve off through Buffalo New York and maine:

34 bucks for some fabric and Velcro. For probably $20 I could make multiple pairs of them.

Had a quick look around.

Assuming they were not trying to hit the RV, the charge would be something like, reckless endangerment or reckless conduct. If a person had died, it would turn into negligent homicide.

I would have to go with landmines. If that isn't enough of a deterrent, and claymores or even some bouncing betties.

This is two pages, with the left page being first.

Who could have seen that coming? /s

An industrial grade robot is no joke. I hope whoever set up that robot got sued.

You either need a weak enough robot that it can't really harm you, or you need several measures to prevent exactly this from happening. Either make all the joints compliant or set up PSD's/invisible fences to prevent the robot from operating when hands are near the boards.

I just want that dino as a fren

My guess is a 3D movie mixed with a 6DoF motion setup. 9D still sounds stupid though.

Anyone here remember the old flash game Junkbot?

Bogos binted?

As a little note, the eye tracking would be a huge selling point for social games like VRChat. Very few headsets support it so far.

"utilithing"

I second this. If you already have one (or even a ps5 controller) then they are a perfect choice. I imagine a switch pro controller would work too, and you get the bonus of having a nice controller for your switch.

If you don't have one then 8bitdo is a safe choice

I second this. A 100 dollar bill just gets saved in my safe. However, if I'm given something like an Amazon gift card, I have zero reason to not spend it.

Granted, the things I would want are very particular and normally on the expensive side, so I would rather have people give me a bit of money to go towards said things.

Neat fact to know. I always love learning new things.
