It's a bit surprising he didn't have them censor all references to him before releasing the files. I'm surprised any time this administration doesn't do the most corrupt and evil thing possible.

I'm old enough to say it was exactly like this back in 2005. That was a couple years after the Bush administration told blatant lies to start the Iraq War, ignoring the largest protests in the world up to the time. There was open corruption as they gave out massive no-bid contracts to Republican cronies like KBR. There was rank incompetence like the FEMA response to hurricane Katrina, led by a guy whose sole qualifications were running a horse breeding association (and raising a bunch of money for Republicans).

There actually are rules. They're just complicated because English prefers to preserve the pronunciation of loan words without changing their spelling and English has a ton of loan words. If you ignore them, native English words are fairly consistent.

I'll admit I thought it looked cool the first time I saw it presented on stage. However, it looks like absolute shit in the real world where there's dirt and no control of the lighting and viewing angle

Why do you think the ad network wouldn't handle it similar to how payment platforms already handle sales/VAT?

It's actually pretty easy to know which country an IP belongs to. ARIN, RIPE, etc all keep public databases tracking what ASN blocks are allocated to each country.

Not proud of it, but I saw a steroid clit instead.

Call me a downer if you want, but I think scientific papers should be above using clickbait titles. Scientific papers should be dry, boring and technical so that there's no doubt that a paper is popular because of its content and not the personality of its writer.

No, it's pretty much only you thinking that. The rest of us were thinking about the 6 tiny bones in the ears only used for hearing or dozens of weird little bones in the wrists and ankles.

It's because the stock market doesn't care about anything except the next quarter. Valve can think long term because they're privately owned.
