If a statement is a joke is not defined whether someone finds it is funny or not, but by its intention. We don't all laught at the same jokes do we? In this case, we don't know the intention behind it, or at least our two comments didn't reveal it.
(It is so sad to see preconditioned impulsive disagreement, just because certain words are discussed from a neutral perspective)
So what do you do when an index into an array is out of bounds at run-time. You can't perform a check every time because that would go against the C's principle, and at the same time it would degrade performance, making it less useful compared to newer languages.
How would you implement defined behavior without a significant (which is what an if check is at that level) overhead in this case?
One intelligent mind in the combine that is BuzzFeed, doesn't account for the horde of mindless drones who write a huge majority of click-bait material.
I don't see where do you see the support for the idea that their goal is quality articles.
I agree, minus the ride-sharing part, which will have a very minor share, in numbers compared to taxis and similar. Car is still a necessity in the eyes of an average (first world) human and our individuality will not let us share them.
The request was invalid from the start and OP probably knows it.
FOIA is not used to obtain information contained in the seized material, but information that arose during the investigation. If for some reason, the information created in the investigation contained the actual recording from the album, then you could at least theoretically ask for that information. If not, then there was no information to ask for in the first place.
What can I ask for under the FOIA?
A FOIA request can be made for any agency record. You can also specify the format in which you wish to receive the records (for example, printed or electronic form). The FOIA does not require agencies to create new records or to conduct research, analyze data, or answer questions when responding to requests.
Too crazy. I can't believe any public person, would say anything like that on record. I wouldn't be surprised if the article was revealed to be fake, but apparently he approved it [0]. So, either the article is real, or this [1] twitter account isn't his, which doesn't seem likely.
This must be a case of damage control [2] going haywire.
The next to last paragraph makes a good point. Currently the state of the game seems to be: we don't care about you, as long as you aren't one of the most immoral actors.
It is becoming more and more current and relevant. I'm assuming you saw the current 19th season. If you didn't see it, or at least the last three episodes that form a "trilogy" or sorts, and talk about online ads and ad-blockers.
I think they mostly see the ads (read: products) as things that will influence their life positively. While this is true in the short term, brief entertainment in compensation for their money, it makes the life less significant in the long term, because their time was wasted not improving themselves. You are not the car you drive, you are not the contents of you wallet... Most people are short sighted.
(I'm not pretending that this fully answers the question.)
Star Citizen employs microtransaction, you just pay them in advance. There are also whales, like the guy who paid 30000$, and many more who pay between 100$ and 1000$. In comparison with other mentions it is even worse, because this game isn't even completed yet. It fits in the narrative.
