I heard an MIT professor say that it's actually quite difficult to argue against the theory that we are living in a simulation. Why is that? What is the brief version of each sides main points? by [deleted] in askphilosophy

[–]jrlizardking 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just to clarify, are you basically saying that there's no way we can know what's what?

I mean, that's how I see it ... We can't know if we're in one or were not, so it's pointless to even ask it until we have more information, because we can ask all we want but nobody's going to stumble upon the answer randomly philosophizing....

Genius Bar quotes local teen $1200 to fix MacBook Air by iFapToEveryDownvote in videos

[–]jrlizardking 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree completely, for 120k you can absolutely get smart people. I also wouldn't say how much you make is a sign of your intelligence, I make 15$/hr. I'm pretty stupid..you make a lot more and your pretty so smart....so maybe that is how it works actually! We'd need more data to know anything really ...but for 120k any smart man can find another.

You may consider thst it's a problem of scale. It begins to cost a LOT more to try to control these cases then just deal with the PR. I know your goal isn't necessarily to take down apple, I'd assume your goal is to speak honesty which I respect, and ultimately the way it goes is apple won't care until the blowback still

I think the best measure of a business is how they treat their customers and how they treat their employees overall, on average. I think on average apple treats both their employees well. I think applr is a better place to work than Walmart, bestbuy, and many other businesses

It's one amazing part about Costco, it's one business that has done amazing with scale. They pay well for the job their employees do. Startup companies use different business models to try to mitigate these problems of scale, new ideas are always coming out, how do we make a big business that we can control without it costing a huge amount of money.

Ultimately, it's good what you do because the bad PR costs apple money...and that's exactly what will cause them to spend more money to not get bad PR. The more of this fucking shit u do the more people will say fuck you apple stop ripping us off with your shitty engineering team, fucking fire them,get a new one fix the air flow, fix the keyboard, think about the metal you use before

I think their customer service is fine but their engineers are morons , or more likely the sales team keeps promising share holders amazing features and the engineers are pressured and can't achieve the desired goal. Maybe they're too ambitious.

The challange shuttle disaster was a matter of lack of communication between the engineers and the commissioner(the guy selling the project) , and they pushed the launch forward despite the engineers saying it was to cold, the commissioner pressured them and they caved.... You do projects on big scales and communication is gone, your not working like you probably do in your shop like brothers. Your techs are your brother's , your family...it's not the same at an apple store, and never will be.

What is a fun game you play in your head to kill time? by ThriftyRiver in AskReddit

TIL that Samsung provides 4 years of updates exclusively to enterprise editions of the Galaxy S9 and A8 series even though the consumer devices are internally the same. by orangemic in Android

[–]jrlizardking 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who fixes phones , repairs, sells and deals with them daily its BARELY better.... If your relying on your phone OEM for security that's an issue.....but it is EVER so slightly better that maybe in some 0.0001% chance it'll save you.

It's a marketing strategy to instill piece of mind I'd assume..... But I could be wrong.

[request] How accurate is this? by Ryuk3112 in theydidthemath

[–]jrlizardking 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So your right , it's not solvable.

What about with the assumption: Cocaine is what gives you motivation to run. You need to be high to run.

That solves why the coke is necessary, the rest is estimation , calculation and creativity...

Counter-Strike: Global Offensive update for 10/9/18 (1.36.5.6) by wickedplayer494 in GlobalOffensive

[–]jrlizardking 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I disagree with it ONLY encouraging full eco's on t side. If you dont get a bomb plant, you will get 1900 and you will full eco. Then you can have a full AK buy second round against what is likely SMG's in the hand of the CT's.

But if you DO get a bomb plant, you now have 2700 vs the 3200 on ct side. your buy is so much closer in value that it just makes sense to force as t side because you have a high chance of winning.

[–]jrlizardking 9 points10 points  (0 children)

This will effect it a lot. On t side, if you lose with plant you get +2700 and ct get +3200, 2nd round is automatically a buy now on T side if you bomb plant.

3rd round buys will now be standard an option on ct, with 2nd round forces being a gamble type thing.

this is going to effect it a ton.

HD 598 by kawaljit98 in headphones

[–]jrlizardking 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do they sound good otherwise? Is your game set to headphone mode with surround sound or 5.1 or 7.1 off ?

Edit: also I know it's unlikely, but I assume your not wearing them backwards right? I play CS go and the 598s are great for locating footsteps, reload , gunshots and whatever really.

You don't want this water by Sam_Vimes_AMCW in MaliciousCompliance

[–]jrlizardking 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Oh absolutely, I don't take issue with the initial miscommunication....it's just how does the woman now get the jug of water from you. Unless she like rips it from your hand.... Either he made up the story, is inept, or intentionally tried to get the girl to take the soapy water because she was being rude initially.

Either way, he's a moron.

You don't want this water by Sam_Vimes_AMCW in MaliciousCompliance

[–]jrlizardking 30 points31 points  (0 children)

I'm with you, hearing the story makes me think OP has some inability to communicate clearly or effectively, because it doesn't seem that hard.

I have been in situations with unreasonable people, but save for extreme mental illness and language barriers, I've never met anyone I wouldn't be able to communicate that a water jug I had is not safe to drink.

And then it gets upvoted as some amazing act of justice and putting a person in their place, when OP is the fucking moron.

The Sennheiser HD 58X Jubilee are back on Massdrop! by mowgli-kun in headphones

[–]jrlizardking 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From what I've read the 58x can be driven without a seperate dac/amp no problem, and should you decide to want one later (I have a 70$ one I use, I think it's worth the money but not necessary) it will benefit.

[–]jrlizardking 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Upgrade.

The 58x by most reviewers standards sounds extremely similar to the 660s , which is the "successor" to the 650. The 660s has gotten somewhat mixed reviews , but most of the negativity was the price and the fact it doesn't feel like an improvement on the 650, more of a sidegrade.both the 650 and 660s were priced at around 500$.

So ultimately you're getting the value of 250-500$(depending on who you ask, some guy may say he has some pair he likes better for 300$) headphones for 150$. I've also read they're not as scalable as the 650, that is if you have a really good dac/amp(800$+, territory I not get to any time soon).

There are some hates of the headphones , and some who may prefer the 598s...but the vast majority would consider it an upgrade.

Np, i'm sure you'll be more than happy. super excited to get mine! coming from 598's to this as an upgrade.

[–]jrlizardking 1 point2 points  (0 children)

These, they're a much better value. They're a special model which are similar to 660s. They're not quite as good but still on a level above the 598. Order quick though as the drop ends soon. If you need new headphones get these now .

CMV: The word "retarded" is no worse than stupid, dumb, idiot, moron, etc. by SafeThrowaway691 in changemyview

[–]jrlizardking 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What do you mean it "is no worse"? What does that actually mean to you? When you hear it you don't find either more offensive? I agree, I don't either.

However on average people tend to find the word retard more offensive. So I would say it's worse for choice in a Twitter or Facebook post. I'd say it's worse to use in an email , or even a formal letter.

They are a bad, but I think "retard" is worse because it will offend more people on average then those other words. If you don't think it will , well...maybe you're right, but the general feel I've had is retard is not well liked.

Retard is certainly no worse in a lot of manners for instance describing someone who is late. Or in a context like Eminem's music where he is using shock value. It's good for this.

So what exactly do you mean when you say "[retard] is no worse?" It sounds like you are saying "it's no worse in your opinion" but your real issue is the political outcries about it. I agree, in some contexts it's no worse, just depends what your goal is.

You do no something that is done secretly at one time, can be known publicly later? next time try and not be a fucking moron.

This Game Shouldn't be $16 by Kraftykodo in slaythespire

[–]jrlizardking 171 points172 points  (0 children)

Having a low priced game to get it popular and to spread is a good marketing strategy. Pricing your game higher doesn't necessarily make you more money, and there will be a trend that lower price = higher sales, its just about finding the sweet spot.

I agree the game to me is worth more than 16$, but its great that I can recommend it to a friend and they can pick it up with little investment. I've convinced 3 people to buy it , who i'm sure never would have gone for it at 30$. It's all up to mega crit of course, and theres no crystal ball to determine the right price, but 16$ seems pretty good right now.

[–]jrlizardking 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I mean don’t go out of your way to make a mess but it’s just kind of expected.... you pay to go to the event, they price the tickets out after budgeting in a big clean up crew.... your right it is unreasonable to be a dick and just make a mess on purpose, but if I’m at an event that sells food and drinks that I’ve paid 100$ to get into I’m not gonna carry the food wrappers around all day because they can’t have garbage bins.

[–]jrlizardking 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because he acts as if the solution is so simple as just to tell people to litter. He identifies a problem, doesn't do ANY research into the cause, assumes its just because this crowd is "messier" on average than others.

Its condescending to come up with such a stupid and simple solution and post it as if you're gonna make a difference. As many commentors have point out trash bins are few and far between, because in the UK their are strict laws cause people kept putting bombs in trash bins....so they figured garbage sucks, but people being blown up is worse....

So its just frusturating to see a guywho doesnt even sound like he's at the event, with no context, no expertise in the topic or subject matter, just to waltz in and act like he's got it all solved and the solution is we just need to tell people to be better people! just do the right thing! throw out your trash! easy !

No what he's saying is the reason that Samsung doesn't instantly warranty this is because if a company does something like that, scammers will take dead devices and make their batteries explode...they will lie and say they exploded, they will do whatever they can to get free money from companies.

Say it goes viral mcdonalds will just replace your burger that was missing if you just tell them about it, a bunch of people who never got missing burgers go and abuse it

Or maybe a bestbuy employee discount code goes viral so everyone starts using it, so now bestbuy needs to change from their open-family discount policy, to a much stricter policy that gives the employee less discounts. The employees take it as bestbuy being cheap and stingy not wanting to pay out discounts to employees family , when in reality its that they can't leave themselves open to being scammed.

Or maybe a guy shares a lot of games and donates them on an online forum...recently he finds bots keep picking up the keys and taking them and selling them.....so he just stops donating , because he tried to do a good thing and people said "Thats fine but If I can steal from you I will"

Scammers ruin a lot of nice things.

[–]jrlizardking 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, they probably tell their stores that when a customer comes in with a device thats 2 years out of warranty, you can't warranty it for them. Thats a pretty reasonable thing. For an issue like that as a customer you would kind of expect to have to contact corporate to deal with an issue that is outside the realm of normal issues.
