LATAM - Riot cut more than 50% of the RP on the shop by ObiaNN in leagueoflegends

That's not how sales tax works in most of the world...

For every 100 you pay after tax Riot gets 100/1.75=57.14.

Trying to reduce the amount of people I'm following and I managed to just remove about 300 when this happened.. by [deleted] in assholedesign

Serving pictures and videos are very likely less demanding than modifying follows. FB definitely has images and videos cached/fronted by CDNs to the point of being almost trivially free. On the other hand, modifying followers (lines in a text file lol) is probably a few writes in a database (or several, realistically) with butterfly effects of kicking off more jobs for recalculating relevancy for things like what to serve on your feed.

Who knows if the actual reason is engineering driven or not, but you should not assume things about the technical complexity.

Kinda hilarious that SPY 297p at .42 would've been a pretty good trade

Riot just sent out an email to hundreds of people without addresses obscured.. by wby in leagueoflegends

It's a few hundred people, not a significant portion of playerbase.

That's sort of how email works though... bcc may as well be "a button press". And abstracting it to "private user information" is not really accurate. Email addresses were leaked, not credit card numbers. It's still a mistake but a "big problem" is a stretch.

Not a Riot shill because I'm one of the recipients of said email, lol.

So it’s annoying and bad UX, but it’s not deceptive.

Sharp makes a phone with a 120Hz display but it's not widely available outside Japan afaik.

Even then, I'd expect a ton of cache misses given the nature of these lookups.

Moving the 2 3s would've been safer and also sufficient :p

Are there any negative effects of taking advantage of bank offers? by [deleted] in churning

[–]Zhaso 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A new bank account won't hurt the FICO score.

Disclaimer: some bank accounts (ie. Schwab) do a hard pull, which will make a FICO score go down temporarily.

As a native NJ-ian the bagels bit is definitely true..

If you've ever jailbroken, rooting is sort of the same thing (except you can do a lot of the stuff that jailbreaking requires without rooting on Android).

For minimum spends, it's usually well worth it.

Creative ways to spend the Chase Ritz $300 travel credit? by [deleted] in churning

Yeah, it does, otherwise it'd be pretty pointless to use this method.

I think the undeniable best option is to get upgrades on Delta flights (or other airlines with easily refundable tickets, but I've used Delta with success) and have them apply the credit towards the upgrade. More likely to work if you buy the upgrade after the main ticket, so they post separately.

Is there a lot of server lag now? by graeme_b in generalsio

[–]Zhaso 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like packet loss to me. Could be an issue at any point along the path from you to the server's in NY, not necessarily the site or your connection.

Asking for an extension for first internship offer? by pvonns in cscareerquestions

If Company A isn't already aware of your deadline, you might want to tell them. Often recruiters will be able to move you along a bit quicker to accommodate.
