This. Stocks can still generate dividends. The only way you 're making money from Bitcoin investments is if some other sucker buys it off you for more than you spent.


Etrian Odyssey is one of the only turned-based RPGs I ever really got into. The map-making and exploration really helped change things up and the battles were actually challenging - every floor advanced felt like a triumph. I'm really hoping they manage the transition to the Switch properly.


Check out Legend of Grimrock 1 & 2, if you already haven't. A worthy homage to the original Dungeon Master.


If you're arachnophobic, be forewarned about the giant spiders; some of the most disconcerting I've encountered in a game.


It's a good way to face your fears, exposure therapy and all that.


I have a hard time believing China actually has it under control when they've already been caught fiddling with their number of infected / dead constantly. That, and WHO has been spending all of their time trying to avoid offending China.


China is opaque so you have to look at oblique indicators, in this case school has resumed. Kids going back to school indicates the leadership has some confidence that the party thinks the crisis is near the end. Even though kids are at low risk, after SiChuan earthquake school scandal, the political cost of risking children's health for political points is too high even for China.

E: Also Xi visited Wuhan recently, and the annual two sessions meeting is happening in a few days while events are being cancelled around the world. It's the biggest annual political event. Xi is basically over if we get a bunch of infected kids or politicians like in Iran. I guess we'll see if it's confidence or calculus.


Not calling you a liar, but I haven't heard this part - got any citations?

I avoid touching my face, stay away from crowds (not that I didn't before, hah!), cough / sneeze into tissue / handkerchiefs, wash my hands properly and have a bottle of sanitizer at all times.

I might need more measures if I was in the middle of Wuhan (or even just feeling ill, I guess) but frankly where I am it feels like any additional steps would be done out of fear, not reason.


> guiding principle that cuts across all aspects of an organization's basic deliverables,

As lovely as a thought this might be I have never seen a company that actually used it as anything other than a marketing tool. Maybe a charity (and not even all of them).

At best they'll try to when the company's first founded before it gets swept away in a tide of shareholders and market strategies.


In fairness, I suspect that they're cold and unpleasant because of all the vultures that constantly circle them.

When you're being constantly hounded by people that believe that you being wealthy means they inherently deserves a share of it, that'll probably distort your worldview real quick.


Prison industrial complex needs its ultracheap labour one way or another.


Correction: China makes a show out of sacrificing a province to demonstrate to the world that no, they really are being serious about it this time, honest!


I'd argue that Microsoft and Amazon's branches were at least tangential to what they were doing in the back-end and that they already have most of the required talents to do it right.

I have no idea how Intel could work their way into running an app store beyond "we have tech and market dudes, good enough right?"


With their new fabric/modular system, the modules are effectively "apps". Though possibly sold by app developers, you could install the Adobe module or the Autodesk module and it would have hardware/ram/storage tuned to those applications. It will start with DL and Graphics accelerators but then morph into application specific.
