The first rule of warfare: never get into a fair fight.

First, they will remove rape and incest, then they will remove all LGBT games, then they will remove all nsfw, and then they will remove all violent games and so on until only the games deemed acceptable by the US evangelicals are left.

I guess I’ll go to the F95zone instead.

The general formula is

land × labor = yields

In the west, it was mostly large land and small labor (amount of people, not work per person) in the east, it was mostly large amount of labor and small amount of land. The formula is still in effect, we just enriched the land with synthetic fertilizers and replaced manual labour with mechanized labor in the form of tractors and harvesters and chemical labor in the form of pesticides.

I remember that time Facebook had a random text in a page saying “This text should never be visible in production” or something like that.

When Covid happened most of them collectively shook their heads and said “Nah, that’s fake.”

thieving old ruling class.

Sputnik is so bad, that even Armenia blocked their broadcasts. You know, the Russia’s ally.

Runs away backwards faster than you can chase.

Walking backwards is surprisingly easy, actually.

Yes. Also, Russia’s Kinzhal missile is literally built to bypass a system like that and is already in use.

Not if Trump or Bibi bombs them all.

I remember listening to a podcast with indy devs and they agreed that engaging player’s imagination is the best way to make sure your game succeeds. And most indy games don’t have the budget for super good graphics.

The only chance for world peace is for aliens to invade. Then, the whole world would unite. With aliens against the Russians.

Many countries have business grants, especially for sustainable or otherwise advanced businesses.

Some of them are low interest loans for developing a startup that might otherwise not find investments.

Others are more like research grants for developing a process or technology, a small sum of money to do research for a limited time and to produce some tangible results.

People assume that revolutionary means “so much better than before” but historically, most revolutions end up being a step back. Revolutions, like Saturn, also tend to devour their children as well.

I had that during my second year of master’s. I barely understood it and the rest of the class couldn’t understand it at all. I wrote my exam and forgot 99% of it a week later.

They owned a wind power park and used the electricity generated by it to power the buses.

I have worked at this company three years ago. I left when it started going downhill. I received my last paycheck and two weeks later my former colleagues didn’t get their salaries.

I don’t believe that it was COVID that broke them, but gross mismanagement from incompetence from their executives, which were also overpaid and overrepresented in the company structure. They also lacked any experience working in automotive field and failed to attract experienced engineering talent into the company.

The engineers were underpaid and overworked in comparison. A handful of experienced automotive people cut have cut off the development time by years.

They also had to innovate to attract money and raise stock value. However, to build reliable busses, a minimum viable e-bus would have been much better, because they could have learned what works and what doesn’t without spending millions on redesigning various parts several times.

They used a superlight composite material to shave off tons of weight, but that material proved too stiff as a bus body and a nightmare to work with. Their solution ended up being even more of said material.

Not all batteries are easy to remove nowadays. Also, power management might have gotten better and the battery circuit mostly disconnects when not in use.
