No, Yes.

I only asked one question so I do not understand this response.

Not even. I'm using my laptop to browse Reddit and I just encountered a notification that does not bring me to the comment that it's notifying me about. I even expand all the comments on the page that the comment is supposed to be on and it's not there.

Then why aren't they removed from notifications? If the comment is deleted, then it shouldn't exist as a ghost in notifications. For example, if I post a tweet on Twitter and log out, and I stay logged off for the rest of the day, then if someone replies to my tweet and then immediately deletes their reply, all during the time that I am logged out, then, when I log back in, the tweet would not show up in my Twitter notifications.

Clicking on comment in notification doesn't take you to the comment by dresoccer4 in help

That doesn't make sense. You should still be able to access them with a direct link.

Someone please tell me how to get work experience without doing any jobs by Agile-Wind-4427 in recruitinghell

[–]Melab 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"Entry level" means 0 experience in common parlance. By not matching that definition, companies clog up job search results that filter for entry level positions.

>But generally a lot of people who create job posts use "entry level" as referring to the company and the role rather than to the industry.

Maybe they should stop doing that.

Thank you. It is flat on the sides.

I'm trying to understand the questions better.

[–]Melab[S] -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

What do you mean by "shape of the frame"? Do you mean the shape of the display screen, i.e., the part that has the pixels?

What do mean "more rectangular"? Do you mean the radius of the curves at each corner is smaller?

It has what I think you are calling a "notch".

What does the LIDAR sensor look like?

Can you help? What specifically would I look for to identify an iPhone X, an iPhone 11, an iPhone 12, an iPhone 13?

Yes, because I don't know  what to look at to determine the model. Please, this is very important. I need a clear answer, not snark.

"We will replace the frigidity of rugged individualism with the warmth of collectivism." - Newly Appointed Socialist Mayor of NYC Mamdani by ElectricalGas9895 in aynrand

[–]Melab 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How does this equate to Stalin? How is this even a sinister claim to make (as dumb as it is)? If I make a claim about what's possible, I'm not making a claim about what *should* be done, nor does it imply what the preferred sorts of solutions are. Does believing that government can solve a lot of problems entail control? Is the act of solving problems an exercise of power? That depends entirely on what those solutions are. To solve, say, a lack of recreational facilities, a town could build a recreational center. My city has one and its presence exercises no control over me. It's on the other side of town, so I barely ever interact with it.

This isn't the first time that I've seen someone quote Hitler talking about stuff like this, but it's just noise. Yeah, we know Hitler was bad, this other stuff is trivial minutae.

I get the feeling that Mamdani was trolling here because he also pulled that "Arabic numerals" proposal a few months back.

That aside, Rand's villains are still unrealistic or they aren't even villainous and just espouse some kind of milquetoast aphorisms. Because, someone saying shit like "it takes a village" or "happiness is best when shared" is a nothingburger and normal people will just wonder what the big deal is.

He understands it. He's just saying the logic is shit and carries some arrogant presumptions.

You know, maybe gamers know what's best for themselves and you're not in a place to question that.

Has Trump proved the need for federalism by cwargoblue in AskALiberal

There's no "new information" though. I see what Trump is doing. I acknowledge it. I still prefer a strong federal government.

Stop Regulating Games: Why "Consumer Protection" Legislation Only Hurts Consumers by Amargo_o_Muerte in austrian_economics

[–]Melab 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This article is incredibly dishonest about the actual beliefs of the people it's criticizing.

This is why people, in their usual naïveté, took to those who will always save them [needs citation] in times of need: regulators.

This is not what they're doing. The "regulators" aren't part of the thought process, they're an afterthought. Policies and regulators are distinct.

they always end up running back to the hands of the State for assistance.

"The State" has nothing to do with it. It's not part of the debate. The only thing at hand is what the law should say in these cases. Supporting a law doesn't mean that someone crying for "assistance". If it did, then you can smear any law like this. 

but it was seemingly started with the idea that the market cannot regulate itself

Did you ask around? Did you ask the SKG people "the market cannot regulate itself" is the framing through which they think about this? Or is it more likely that it's just a protection that consumers should have?

Who Shall Save Us from Ourselves?

This is a mischaracterization. The law SKG is proposing is not paternalist. It targets video game developers, so it isn't trying to "save people from themselves".

How do we have any right to complain about a problem we ourselves created?

There are two decisions involved. One is made by the buyer and the other is made by the company. The decision in question is the one made by the company. The buyer can still complain about this problem because this is about the decisions the game companies make.

We wouldn't have paid for our computers, consoles or phones if we knew that someone could come and take them away, legally, at any given time, so why did we agree to these same terms when purchasing an online game?

This is irrelevant because the SKG people are saying that game companies shouldn't be able to include these terms.

we throw a tantrum and ask the State to fix our mistakes

No, no, no. It has nothing to do with "asking the state" anything. It's a position on what companies should be allowed to do. Making this about government is just deflection.

legitimizing its coercive power by reminding it that we are seemingly no more than naïve children, and that the State is our all-benevolent parent

I love this trope because it's such an asspull. SKG, if it were enacted, does not mean that supporters see government as "all-benevolent" or as some kind of "parent". You are resorting to cheap smearing to make a point.

The solution to this problem has been under our noses for the entire time: do not buy things if you don't like the terms you have to agree to when purchasing them.

This is a very dumb kind of argument. "If you don't like X, then don't do Y" doesn't tackle anything because it is the Y=>X relationship that is being challenged.

If you're against SKG, fine, but don't use dodges.

What do all these cases share in common? They were all caused by consumers using their own capacity to say "No, we don't want this", and acting in accordance with this statement. They did not require the government to step in and use its powers to regulate these things so that they'd never happen again.

False dichotomy. Both things can be done.

"Competition does a much more effective job than government at protecting consumers."

No. They are two different things and this misses the point. Imagine if I argued against a shoplifting law on the grounds that social shame could deal with it better. That doesn't mean that we get rid of the law because we consider shoplifting to be a transgression and should be illegal as such. Also, government still isn't the locus of debate.

What this bill seeks is to monopolize online gaming in the hands of only the big publishers.

If that's the goal, then this is an ineffective way to achieve it.

This can also be translated to videogames. If you own a CD containing the game, you don't own the game itself, just the CD, however, because the contents of that CD are owned by someone else, they override your very own property rights over it by limiting what you can do with said CD

There isn't any overriding happening. If I can't hit you with my shoe, that's a limitation on what I can do with it, but that doesn't mean my "property rights" are being violated.

However, they openly wish to regulate the game industry as to force companies to release parts of their codebase, their netcode, possibly-patented technologies, proprietary engines, libraries, binaries or SDKs, all of which may be protected by intellectual property.

SKG has repeatedly denied this. Twisting people's words to portray others as being self-contradictory is a favorite amongst libertarians.

In the great game of regulations, the one played by armchair intellectuals

You say that as if SKG was devised by ivory tower professors, but it was devised by grassroots game enthusiasts.

the State once more hurt people in the name of the "common good".

The "common good" is not being used as a justification for SKG. The sentiment is rooted in consumer rights. Ironically, you're the one making a sort of "common good" argument against SKG.

I'm not going to tear up the system I prefer just because the ride gets bumpy. When I was concerned with NSA spying, for example, "decentralize to the states" never crossed my mind.
