In the US with our 110v/1200w appliances the smaller size is more relevant than Europe with its higher voltage/wattage on a typical circuit.

This impacts all countertop appliances in the US, our deep fryers are very small or don't really hole heat when being used for example.

Not to mention Kilngons!

Are you saying internet/tech stocks weren't a bubble in 1999/2000 because they were the way of the future?

I get most of those warnings opening Excel files from a corporate virtual machine that delivers our reporting. I doubt I'm the only person that has to do this.

The warnings are so omnipresent I imagine it's super easy to social engineer around them. Probably just tell people there's celebrity boobies to be seen or something.

Well duh, they delete the actual recording and then they're safe.

That seems like a terrible take.

Maybe I'm cool with losing everything and getting a check, but someone else value great grandma's doll collection as priceless.

A flood has a different cost for different people and it doesn't seem to me it's completely offset by insurance.

That's assuming the insurance companies choose to and are allowed to price by each lot based on flood data.

The assumption that municiolalities are choosing economically optimal mitigation seems sus to me too.

Of the third movie in the dark knight trilogy?

Already the planet and economics are aligned for not even that long term.

The problem is that they'll likely never align for extreme short term.

Steam does a great job of managing installation and syncing across devices.

As a user it makes the game experience so much nicer than selling me a download of a game.

I've never had issues getting games from steam to run (assuming my computer was capable), even old ones. For most games my saves exist across all my devices, and I can easily uninstall a game for space and install it again later.

Steam also provides a forum for discussion with other users, guides, and game news.

It's significantly more than a store front and your new store of curated games would be a hard sell for me vs just following a few reviewers.

Steam also has the advantage of big data to give me recommendations.

I'm all for curated stores in general (and use them even), but Steam offers more than just a store front, it'd be hard to break into.

I'm lazy too, steam already has all my games, I don't want a second launcher to browse and run my games from.

I assume they mean a 10x jump is outpacing Moore's law.

I would bet though that it'll take long enough to commercialize that it will fall right in place with Moore's law.

But the last guy that tried this had everyone think they were a fool.

So the games with the root kits flop?

I don't see much resistance to them in the gaming community at all. A little bit of whining.
