I understand your point, but I would be upset if I took my family to Chuck E Cheese's and there was a table full of adults loudly talking about their raunchy escapades from the night before. I think it is a fair assumption that a child's game will have clean chat.
1. A cool game comes out.
2. I love to play the game with my adult friends.
3. as the game gets more mainstream attention, more and more kids join in.
4. I have to moderate myself because some stupid parent determined that it's now a "kids" game and everyone should cater to their crotchrats.
Why does this keep happening to all games i like?
I know minecraft might be an extreme example because it has simple graphics and no violence but it happens even on VR Military Shooters.
No. just be a decent parent and don't assume that the internet is a free daycare.
Sorry,
i just hate this "its a game tho it's obviously meant for kids" attitude
> 4. I have to moderate myself because some stupid parent determined that it's now a "kids" game and everyone should cater to their crotchrats.
I'm sorry, but I can't imagine being this upset at children. If I'm at a bar and I see a kid walk in, yes I will act differently because they are in earshot. It doesn't matter that the child is in an adult space.
"Well I was here first" is such an immature dismissal of acknowledging how your community is changing.
A more apt comparison would be you enjoying a drink in your own home (your server) and then because kids starting playing outside you'd be banned from your home for drinking there. Forever.
It's Chuck E Cheese's. Pretty sure that is a private business. They can mostly do what they want in most jurisdictions. If you want to censor communication in your own home, go for it.
If I paid for a license for Minecraft Java edition, why can't my friends and I play and communicate as we see fit?
Interesting that you specify "urban youth" when rural youth is no less violent, actually. Rural tough guy being rough is an euphemism for "violent". That being said, businesses pay security that exists for that purpose. Either they have own employees or they pay fee to a company to provide it as service. All the fast food worker has to do is to call.
The genuinely, the original situation does not sound like involving violence.
There seems to be a big misconception here that minecraft started with a focus on young kids, when it started with a focus on teenagers/young adults, 4chan for one was an absolutely huge part of its audience during its early days, we are not talking about a mlp situation here.
I think with Minecraft it's closer to the difference between a Chuck E Cheese and a barcade. Both are arcades, but one is specifically for kids and families while the other is an explicitly adult space.
Except the child audience didn't appear until 5 years into minecraft's life, so it'd be like your local barcade deciding they're pivoting to targeting kids now so please get out
Everyone seems to be trying to explain what Brady does differently, but another possible explanation is that he has unique genetics that have provided him a long career. If the average tenure for a professional career is 5 (or whatever) years, there will be outliers. Maybe Brady is just an extreme outlier and his body is naturally more resistant to damage or aging effects.
Don't think of "coding" as writing javascript to make websites. Think of "coding" as "talking to computers".
As software eats the world, the value of people who can talk to computers will increase. Even if it takes fewer programmers to make a website, there will be more jobs for programmers to automate concept art production pipelines. You may not be writing javascript or python in fifteen years (I bet you will) but there will be code to tell the automation services what to do.
The interesting question is the general population becoming more tech savvy? Will this change in work encourage more students to learn how to code (whatever that looks like in twenty years)? Or will the demand for coders rise without a corresponding increase in supply?
Why are you trying to white wash the civil war? It was fought over slavery. That is what the declarations of independence signed by the confederate states actually say. They spell it out.
Whitewashing the Civil War as grandparent post did was in error, but don’t let the evils of slavery blind you to the leadership’s more immediate, stated war goal: to preserve the Union. Freeing slaves was an ancillary matter at best.
If the actual explicit bona fide war goal was freeing the slaves, Reconstruction would have been a lot less oppressive and its Jim Crow regimes would have faced more obstacles.
You misunderstand me. The ruling class in the north didn’t care about slavery, just their own profits. It just so happened that they were in competition with the ruling class in the south, whose wealth depended on slavery.
Of course many workers did care about slavery and wanted to end it, so they allied themselves to the northern ruling class.
I don't think a list of job titles would be helpful for you because (not surprisingly, as a startup) you are looking for one person to do 3-4 different jobs.
In my experience, what and where to measure should be led by your business folks. The rest of the responsibilities could probably be handled by a data engineer.
I guess my word of warning is that I don't think you'll find someone with three areas of expertise
1) understanding your business / industry at a level deep enough to know what to measure.
2) having the core statistics and analytic capabilities to work with someone in category 1) to get insights out of the data.
3) having a deep understanding of databases and engineering pipelines to make functional and reliable data infrastructure that allow folks in 2) to be good at their job.
If you are starting a new analytics department, I would be looking for an existing person at the company to take responsibility for 1) and look for a great candidate in 3) who has worked closely with others in 2).
Great advice, thank you! We have 1 (founder team) and 2 (data scientist), actually looking for 3 to chose the right tools and lead the team to implement them across the stack from front to back to database to operations.
I guess that putting the explorative work of 2 into operations is, again, another position 4? Probably a problem for 2023 ;-)
I started taking a Zyrtec every night and set up an air purifier. I think allergies were preventing me from getting a good night's rest and since doing these two things I've had a noticeable improvement in my sleep quality.
One of the most helpful things I heard during my first few weeks in college was something like, you have to be uncomfortable in order to grow. College will put you in lots of uncomfortable situations. You should learn to identify that feeling and when you feel it acknowledge that you are uncomfortable because you are experiencing something new and it will make you a better person.
I think this its especially important if you are introverted at all. Your dorm will quickly become you safe nest and it will be hard to leave that space to do things with potential new friends. You have to recognize that you are uncomfortable leaving your dorm and acknowledge that the growth process is happening when you leave it.
This phenomenon is called something like "rockets and feathers" of gas prices. I don't think anyone knows exactly why this happens, but I think it has something to do with the fact that gas stations all want to sell their gasoline at the highest price they can and rising oil prices let them raise their prices. But when oil prices fall, competitive forces act more slowly. If you run a gas station, you won't drop your price by $1 per gallon just because your costs have fallen by a $1 per gallon. You'll watch the station across the street drop his price by 5 cents, then you will drop your price by 7 cents, then he will drop his by another 5 cents and so on. The two competing stations will gradually eat away at each other's profit until the gas is back to being priced basically at cost.
