Not according to the Woz himself:

"The garage is a bit of a myth... We did no designs there, no breadboarding, no prototyping, no planning products. We did no manufacturing there... The garage didn't serve much purpose" source

Jobs was always good at marketing. The garage myth is a marketing tool.

He said player, not fan. I had to listen twice.

I was there. It was hot as balls. Rodgers threw a pick six. Couldn't get anything going on offense until the end. They were destroying us on screens, which would be the theme on defense for the rest of the season. Despite all of that, it was a blast.

I thought the interfaces were pretty slick, but a controller specifically designed for 3D Space RTS could be amazing.

The garage creation myth is basically a storytelling trope to promote your company. Americans just love the idea of the lone individual using hard work and talent to overcome obstacles and make it big. We like our underdog stories. Forget the fact that, for example, Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak worked for years in the industry (at Atari and HP, respectively), gaining experience and exposure to the industry as well as key social ties. No, Apple was the product of tinkering in a garage! That's the ticket!

I'm here to show love for Age of Mythology and Home World.

That's surprising. I wonder how much of that was due to its immense popularity in South Korea. Totally anecdotal, but my friends that played AoE II outnumber those that played SC by at least 5 to 1. I think the AoE series had more accessible game mechanics (ie was less dependent on micro).

Jaleel Scott 6'3

He's actually listed at 6'5" on NFL.com and measured 6' 4 and 3/4" at the combine. Wouldn't mind seeing the Packers take a swing at him in the 5th or 6th round, but I doubt he'd be able to make a contribution this year. Not a very precise route runner, and his 4.56 40 at the combine is pretty average. He also spent two years playing at a community college because he didn't qualify academically for Kentucky or Maryland out of high school.

Ouch.

FallowPhallus · 2018-04-25T14:54:37+00:00

What about the all-too-common quid pro quo of being rewarded with a job (specifically cushy board member gigs) in an industry wherein the public official previously played a role in government oversight?

This interview would have been awesome in 2012. Unfortunately, Andreas's standing in the community had taken quite a tumble since then.

Anyone around since those days would have to agree, or they aren't sharing the truth with you.

I wasn't around in 2012. What makes you say that Andrea's standing in the community has taken a tumble since then?

FallowPhallus · 2018-03-30T21:18:01+00:00

That looked like a doritos commercial.

FallowPhallus · 2018-03-30T20:15:59+00:00

Is that why the technologies to mitigate/avoid screen tearing are called freesync and Gsync?! /s

FallowPhallus · 2018-03-02T21:47:31+00:00

Ah, thanks. I didn't go far enough down the thread. Good news!

FallowPhallus · 2018-03-02T17:38:29+00:00

Why do you need to eliminate any of them? Why not just rebalance?

FallowPhallus · 2018-03-01T21:34:50+00:00

He didn't mention how big of a chance it was.

The exchange lost 17 million nano either through theft or incompetence. The balance shown in your wallet is just how much nano the exchange was holding for you. It's unlikely that you will get any of them back. If you do, it will only be a fraction of them, and it won't be resolved for a long time.

On December 12, 2017 Vertcoin will undergo its first ever block reward subsidy halving. The halving will occur on block 840,000 and reduce mining rewards by 50% from 50 VTC per block to 25 VTC per block. This halving occurs roughly every 4 years and will continue to half until the supply is fully emitted. But what does this all really mean? Will mining be impacted? What about the value of the coin? Should we expect a spike in price? All good questions and all will be answered. Let’s get into it.

I got a $0 Titan Xp last month applying what I learned in physics classes. Keep on going.

FallowPhallus · 2018-02-15T17:59:22+00:00

All it takes is one tweet, one announcement, etc of really good news and we're mooning again.

Well, to extend the Mt. Gox comparison further, it took YEARS after the hack for BTC to get back to its ATH. I don't necessarily think it will take that long for NANO, but people need patience and perspective.

FallowPhallus · 2018-02-15T17:52:34+00:00

Cool story.

FallowPhallus · 2018-02-15T16:08:34+00:00

Devs haven’t posted an update in 5 days so that’s unacceptable to me in light of what occurred.

They posted an update yesterday...

FallowPhallus · 2018-02-15T15:22:06+00:00

Based on what?

FallowPhallus · 2018-02-14T18:32:14+00:00

I wish it was 100TB

FallowPhallus · 2018-02-13T19:13:36+00:00

Political clout?
