Almost. The rate of inflation has been tamed. Inflation overall is high still comparatively


I do wonder which goods will never come down from the newly anchored prices


It's completely the opposite at my local ENT. There are many signs saying to NOT use Q-Tips. In the exam rooms, at the reception, in the waiting area, down the hall, etc. It's funny but it does align with being overly cautious. I wonder if they've had too many cases of people puncturing their eardrums.


From the article, I'm seeing this:

>"We have reviewed Joe Biden's official schedules from the time and no meeting, as alleged by the New York Post, ever took place," it said.

>"Investigations by the press, during impeachment, and even by two Republican-led Senate committees whose work was decried as 'not legitimate' and political by a GOP colleague, have all reached the same conclusion: that Joe Biden carried out official US policy toward Ukraine and engaged in no wrongdoing," said Andrew Bates, a spokesman for Mr Biden.

>"Trump administration officials have attested to these facts under oath."

I'm not sure what there is to deny.


Political communications like that must be parsed extremely precisely if you don't want to be tricked. The phrase "as alleged" is a huge loophole. The thread that the sibling comment linked to goes into this: https://twitter.com/aaronjmate/status/1316442180358213632


The Biden campaign has admitted that the meeting described in the NY Post article "might" have taken place even though it wasn't on the official schedules. This was the most newsworthy part of the article because Biden has been strenuously insisting throughout the impeachment and his presidential campaign that he never helped his son in his business dealings.

Delegating interviews isn't a unique thing. A team Lead or a senior dev can handle a good portion of it. It's also important that a candidate have a good fit personality-wise with the team he'll be working with, not just the manager.


What I think is interesting is their direction towards streaming. For instance, they struck a deal to stream NFL games and they will being streaming the RNC and DNC conventions.

That may be a good direction for them to pair with their platform.


Does a 1st person view from the driver's seat have any impact?


VR or no VR, I always play car games from the perspective of the driver's seat or, in some cases, from the front bumper cam. Playing from the third person perspective cam is a bit too arcade for me.

So, my description above is for playing from the driver's seat perspective.


Conan recently went to a Korean Buddhist Temple and a monk there has two cell phones.

I can't find any sources but supposedly he got 150k to participate and 20k for each win he got.


I don't like the idea of FPS'. We'd expect them to behave the humans when they play FPS - they run looking forward and will occasionally look left or right and follow some predetermined pathing that they are familiar with.

With an AI, if we base it on pixels, what they will do is spin around 360 degrees about 60 times a second while moving forward so that it can maximize all of the pixels inputted at a time. It would compare it against the stored level design and shoot at anything that is off (or against character models). I can just see that it's not going to behave like anything we'd expect.


The same would likely be true of an RTS. An AI could scroll the viewport around and click units to issue orders at ludicrous speeds. Even if it had to use the same interface as a human, it'd still have a huge mechanical advantage.
