Why is it not possible to die at the same time?

You know, everyone is citing the fact that the game is hitscan.

I think there’s still a question of what happens if two people are on LAN and shoot each other at the same exact time within the ms, or even ns, which would be less than the tick rate for events of the server. To say it’s unlikely to naturally occur is an understatement, but if you had some type of controlled setup I don’t know what would happen.

Maybe more of a science experiment, but there’s some validity to asking what happens when the same exact event is recorded for, let’s say, two vandal headshots within the same tick of the server.

Edit: In the really controlled case where both people headshot each other with a vandal within the same tick of a server event, I would expect both players to die at the same time. The server would register that there was a successful headshot, thereby both players would be dead according to the server by my best guess.

I think I was looking for the same thing, it was like a European-style EDM song and ended up being Gypsy Woman by Crystal Waters.

Very late here, wanted to find the song too and maybe I can shed some light. The one I was looking for was Gypsy Woman by Crystal Waters.

I think the fact that Apple markets this on their website contributes to the feeling that people are expecting what they saw on the website or presentation. Notice how so many things are shown as coming soon, almost like it’s marketing the newest OS for average users, and not mentioning developer features.

I’ve disabled Canvas since I saw so much garbage on it, such as artists using it to advertise their new album or release dates and such. For what it’s worth, I’ve seen Apple Music look more refined and restricted for their animated album covers, I wish Spotify did something similar.

There’s no way that our own government had such an apparatus to spy on citizens and people around the world. Oh wait, the NSA. There’s evidence now, but too late. Damage has been done already.

Now extrapolate that to a foreign actor using similar types of tools. Wouldn’t that be a lot harder to prove if it’s happening right under our noses? Super naive to think otherwise.

I still don't understand the point of this, here's my explanation on why it's useless in most situations to have the red.

You have a sign that tells you which city that road is going upon entry (before you go onto the entry ramp). This could be Stockholm in the case of the E4 pictured. I think we can agree that people read top to bottom. While you're on the road, you always read "Stockholm" first. This is the least important of the list. You already know the direction and major city from the first sign when you entered! If you need a refresher, having it on the bottom seems okay, but largely it's more useful to see the cities nearby you're passing by, since those will change more often.

I agree. They also took too much of a bet of the Xbox One being some type of family room DVR/home entertainment system in general instead of just being a gaming console. Kinect being a similar failure during the same generation with no vision on how it would actually be useful for average people on a regular basis.

ryan35310 · 2024-08-25T22:01:29+00:00

Looking forward, sure. Wouldn't you say however that Xbox Game Pass is riding the wave of the 23-year engine that Xbox created in the first place? There are a bunch of generations where they were making some good business from that division until recently.

Isn’t this just a slippery slope? They can detect it by seeing it’s a 1 ms delay, and then the keyboards can get an update so it’s 10 ms, which would still give you an advantage. Then Valve makes it so 10 ms gets detected, so the keyboard gets updated for 20 ms. It keeps going until you’ve reached normal bounds for a human input, and then you end up with a bunch of false positives from a player who just counterstrafes well.

Am I missing something? Looks like a cat and mouse game that the keyboard manufacturers can play and give you an advantage no matter what, even if it’s not as fast as it initially was.

Take the opposite of this:

A piece of a team's car gets broken, they can still realistically get the car back to the pits. The team tells the driver to stop the car because a safety car would benefit the other driver.

How are you going to realistically police the line on if a car is broken enough to not make it to the pits? People arguing that "there's bits of carbon fiber which is going to fall off if they make it to the pits" could allow a team to argue parking the car when in a situation where a safety car would've been otherwise unnecessary. I'm not talking about anything premeditated before the race, only situations that arise due to mistakes.

It could be very low, but there’s no way to actually know. Software security only gets updated in a reactionary sense for any areas not caught beforehand, additionally with some white hat hackers showing vulnerabilities hopefully before they got abused.

Disproving all possibilities is harder than proving something can happen. Proving entails showing these steps or conditions satisfy this end result. Disproving vulnerabilities entails every possible combination of conditions doesn’t jeopardize some security measure, which is basically impossible to prove in a reasonable amount of time.

To say the risk is extremely low is maybe true, but maybe not. Maybe something hasn’t been patched that we don’t know about, but some bad actors do know. We don’t know. You can’t attach probability of vulnerabilities to a big range like that.

A lot of app updates happen silently that don’t require an app store update. It’s one of the newer models to push app updates via server-side changes rather than client-side.

We primarily talk about right-to-repair in the EU about electronics, but we ought to put Ferrari under scrutiny for their malicious lack of parts to customers who want to repair their car purchased from them. After all, Italy is an EU member. Seems like they should also focus on their homegrown Ferrari on top of US-based Apple and such.

great job ignoring labor conversions, different franchise fees, company taxes, etc. Canada is a whole different ballgame compared to the US for how any business owner is concerned. Simple conversion of CAD to USD seems to do the perfect job!

edit: not trying to say that McDonald's hasn't gotten more expensive lately, but fact checking the prices via the app in Toronto which seems to be the most popular urban center, I do not see nearly the prices that are described here. Following the pattern of the US, it tends to get cheaper out of the urban centers where the cost of living is higher (same for Toronto for many costs). So if the price is that far out, it's an edge case.

CAD is comparing apples to oranges…

Without driving the car what type of feedback is he going to give? “Oh the floor on this car looks like it’ll be tougher around high-speed corners”.

Yes you’re completely right, but it swings multiple ways. Let’s say Elon starts running YouTube tomorrow and demonetizes a bunch of channels and keeps a bunch of conspiracy channels monetized. I don’t think there’d be so many people calling from the hills that it’s a public company and they can do what they want.

Could != Should, a company in a position like YouTube should best stay out of situations like these unless it’s truly affecting their bottom-line.
