It wasn't sparsely populated until you murdered everyone

Yes, the poor European settlers out there raping and a pillaging, burning and a looting,destroying cultures and entire people's to build their shiny palace on the hill. Remove the beam from your eye septic

Yes. America had no empire. Except for the giant land empire that was, and is, America. Or does invading and occupying thousands of square miles of land, annihilating entire nations, and enslaving and slaughtering the natives, a process that was still very much ongoing between 1860 and 1890 not count as empire building?

No they probably do mean the jump between the interface in 2.49 which was somewhat unique and very, very different to the current UI, to that in 2.5 which the current interface mostly resembles. 2.8 was a smaller jump that introduced left click select as the default, along with various cosmetic enhancements and a rework of the depsgraph.No idea what you're talking about with contexts being selected in the middle of the screen etc. I suspect you're using "context" in a way unique to you

Amoral literally means "lacking a moral sense; unconcerned with the rightness or wrongness of something." Generally this is considered a problem if you are designing something that might influence the way people act.

I do this all the time and have done with every boss I've had over the past 25 years. None have ever objected. The phrase I use with my current CEO is "I'm not sure what you're asking for, can you clarify?" With my line manager this is shortened to "huh?" But then again I don't work for Americans who seem to be much more into hierarchy in the workplace and not asking questions.

Can you give me a single example of people creating games/movies/books/music etc. bia ML that are of much better quality than those churned out by AAA?

Not the op, but it's the opposite, at least in the UK. I worked in hospitality as a yoof, was manager of a small hotel and a receptionist in big (independent) 5 stars. I absolutely did care about extra bookings because I got a big commission on walk-ins and a smaller commission on phone bookings. I also had leeway to discount rooms on a sliding scale down to "barely covers the cleaning costs" levels on the night. As a booker if I have the time I still call places up and can usually get a decent discount if they have availability, especially off season or last minute.

He's complaining that the privacy preserving option is given more prominence. OK...

Unity is cheaper only in certain circumstances. UE5 is free and then you pay a 5% royalty on gross revenues over $1m. This avoids a lot of the issues faced by indie developers with the new pricing model (having to pay for copies you give away, having to pay a flat fee that eats the profit margin of 99p games, needing to pay for a subscription up front etc.)

Do it in a country with much laxer KYC laws for a haircut and then use one of the myriad other methods of transferring large amounts of illegitimate wealth across borders that existed prior to cryptocurrency and which continue to be widely used. Frankly at this point tof you're transacting in cryptocurrency most banks and governments are going to assume that you are either an idiot, a conman or a criminal and treat you as such so the entire chain is already "tainted".

Until the company changes their logo...

Not the patent but... incredibly environmentally destructive by design. Utterly privacy violating as you're publishing every transaction you make for the world to see on a public ledger so now your neighbour (and government) get to know about your badger fetish. Non reversible transactions are an invitation to fraud and theft and make routine errors like overpayments and payments to the wrong address potentially disastrous. Not to mention the "problems" it claims to fix like instant, fee free transactions and easy international transfers have been fixed for many years in countries with modern banking systems (i.e. not the USA) Etc. Etc. Etc.

According to the US Bureau of Labour Statistics the mean hourly wage for cabinet makers and bench carpenters as of May 2022 was $20.25 per hour. Even in San Francisco the mean hourly wage was only $26.37. Lesson for today - your instincts abiut whay real world, non-dev jobs pay are totally out of whack with reality

Do you not use POs? Much easier, allows you to approve spend if necessary and means the person paying I voices doesn't need to have an encyclopedic knowledge of your employees and keep up to date with which ones have ledt
