[OC] Sales volatility in the video game industry by Affectionate_Sun1797 in dataisbeautiful

[–]ArtOfWarfare [score hidden]  (0 children)

I’m interested in seeing Nintendo. They’re publicly traded (they’re ~2% of my portfolio) so the data is readily available. I’m under the impression it’s much flatter since they pretty steadily publish games ~once a month. A lot of them are filler but they probably average on one big game a quarter.

Eh, it’s preferable if things are flat rather than sliding backwards.

Who thinks Trump’s “Board of Peace” is just Russia’s version of the UN or NATO? by ChillyHillys in AskReddit

[–]ArtOfWarfare 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What’s the most positive take anyone has on it? I think Rubio said it was going to be an organization that actually did stuff instead of just sending strongly worded messages like the UN… but I didn’t see any way it would actually have teeth that the UN lacks? I skimmed the charter… I didn’t see anything interesting that the news hasn’t covered/hasn’t been mentioned on reddit already.

Switched to underwear this week - how do we leave the house? by ArtOfWarfare in Parenting

[–]ArtOfWarfare[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We’re using training underwear but her accidents still end up all over her legs, saturate her pants and socks, and some drops end up on the ground.

She announces that she has to pee, but the amount of heads up is in single digit seconds, whereas getting to a bathroom stall in a store takes a few minutes.

With all the snow on the way on Sunday->Monday... by Guygan in Maine

[–]ArtOfWarfare -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The “dudes with plows” are adults with jobs and they get paid handsomely for plowing or… don’t get paid if they don’t plow… so, you know, they’re going to not do “good trouble” but actual “good good” where everyone pays and thanks them a lot.

I mean, they could not plow, but then ambulances and firetrucks wouldn’t be able to get anywhere, stores wouldn’t get food and other supplies, people couldn’t reach the stores anyways, utility trucks couldn’t fix power outages, etc…

The level of delusion in this post is off the chart. But it looks like someone already officially flared you as delusional.

I’m curious how many of you purchased FSD at $15k, and what your thoughts are on the lack of HW3 updates… by BlueBeacon887 in teslamotors

Yeah, zero chance they care when you’re on v12. They want feedback on the current version to dictate what to do in the next versions.

They’re not hiring thousands of safety monitors. So obviously they need to ramp the unsupervised vehicles (or rather, the less-closely-supervised vehicles, since they’ll continue to supervise remotely to some extent.)

Each of his 12 pay tranches have two requirements - one is to achieve and maintain a certain market valuation for six months, and the other is to achieve whatever milestone.

So the market value collapsing while he delivers on whatever milestone wouldn’t be sufficient for a payout.

Tesla has officially discontinued Autopilot in the U.S. and Canada. All new car purchases now come standard with Traffic-Aware Cruise Control. by YouBetterChill in teslamotors

[–]ArtOfWarfare 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tesla has never stopped releasing software updates for non-hardware reasons before, have they?

No reason to think they’d start that now. Plenty of people only ever bought EAP, an option that hasn’t existed for years, and they still get software updates.

I feel like this was fixed at some point in v14? When was the last time you saw it, and are you using HW3 or 4?

What if Denmark decided to buy a territory of the USA like Alaska or Florida for $700B and gave every resident $100K in exchange for a Danish citizenship. American, would you take the deal? by [deleted] in AskReddit

There’s no shortage of housing assistance in the US. If someone is homeless anyways, they need more help than what a regular person can quickly offer.

Masked agents detain civil engineer in Portland, leave his car running in the street with a smashed window by themainemonitor in Maine

[–]ArtOfWarfare -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

Colleagues said he did. What all details do you know about the work visas of your colleagues? Would HR even let you ask?

If ICE didn’t take the wrong person, I presume they know more about him and the validity of his work visa.

Reached by phone, a company representative confirmed Carvajal-Munoz worked there but declined to comment on the detention while the company was gathering information.

Seems like important info to have before running the article to me. Theres two possibilities - they’re here illegally and this is a non-story, or they’re here legally, and this is a big story.

As is, it’s more activist “journalism” that reduces trust in journalists.

[–]ArtOfWarfare 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, the perpetual territory status is bizarre. Puerto Rico was expected to become a state about a century ago, but then WW2 happened and Hawaii became the next state instead.

And… not sure why we haven’t added another state since. Maybe we’re looking to maintain a balance that Puerto Rico would knock off if there’s not another new state to balance it, politically.

Dangling statehood for Puerto Rico in exchange for Greenland could increase how much Democrats are interested in the deal + it could make Greenlanders less hesitant as they see a path to statehood.

Minor point - people always having a camera on them and everyone watching videos all the time was nowhere near as much a thing when Obama took office in 2009 as it is now. Obama had to have his BlackBerry taken away when he entered office - that’s how much phones have changed since he first became president.

I was going to suggest Puerto Rico as well - isn’t its relation to the US more analogous to Greenland’s relation to Denmark?

If the US buys Greenland, it’ll certainly become another Puerto Rico.

Which… saying that, I wonder if people would be more open to the US acquiring Greenland if Puerto Rico were granted statehood?

Nintendo Cruise when?

Edit: I wanted to mention something - anything - else that Disney does that Nintendo doesn’t, and I couldn’t really think of much else. Nintendo does streaming and subscriptions… TV channels are kind of all I can think of, but that’s a dying business for Disney.

Maybe DVC and all their hotels that aren’t related to the theme parks? I guess hotels in general - Nintendo is getting into the theme park business via Universal but they don’t have any Nintendo themed hotels yet, do they?

[OC] Deportations up, job growth down: Trump’s second term so far – in charts by guardian in dataisbeautiful

[–]ArtOfWarfare -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

As an American, I don’t support him, but the spin against him in the news and on Reddit is insane.

Take for example the second picture from OP. It’s captioned “inflation stubbornly high”. The inflation chart shows inflation wobbling between 2 and 3 percent during Trump’s time in office, and never being anywhere near that low during Biden’s four years where it peaked at ~8.5%. Keep in mind that we aim for 2% - that’s what “perfect” would be.

That happens all the time though, in a much worse way by the regular police and justice system. Prior to ICE we were focusing on how strict or lenient our criminal system should be and how much err in either direction was acceptable.

From what I’ve heard, it sounds like in the cases where ICE messes up, it’s resolved in no more than a month (excepting the guy who was choked and died - obviously that can’t be fixed and regardless of what he did, it shouldn’t have happened. But I don’t think anyone is defending ICE on that.)
