If corner crossing is not possible, the value of his private property increases by the value of the notionally public land that's effectively exclusively his now. If corner crossing is allowed, then that value is stripped away and he "loses" millions.
Of course, this claim of damages collapses in a puff of logic when you point out that he never should have had exclusive access in the first place. Maybe he can sue the judge next?
Immersion is pretty much the point of VR, and until Elon's Neuralink gets their shit together (not holding my breath) VR headsets are the least bad option we have.
Might be so, but it's always a good practice to spell things out.
When I read this title, I first saw it as "Google Cloud Workstations managed development environment is now [on] Google Analytics." I did a double-take (as this is clearly ridiculous) and then realized what it meant.
Gotta say the irony is strong with a private equity firm called Ethical Capital Partners acquiring porn company MindGeek. I wonder who's fucking who the hardest?
A lot of institutions name themselves to cover their biggest weakness. It took me a while to realise that the street I lived on a decade ago was called "xyz Gardens" because it didn't have any.
> Americans seem to be kindly, trusting and helpful towards members of their own sub-group, and quite the contrary to those they deem "lesser" in status - the poor, the disabled, people of color.
As a European, I can assure you we share these traits. Try asking one how they feel about local Romani, African or Syrian refugees, foreign beggars, etc.
its a common misconception, since that was sold to the public for the last 100+ years.. but not, actually, the demographics in recent decades show less social mobility overall, as compared to other developed nations in the same time periods..
They're building a showcase city a thousand kilometers away in a different island as the new capital, but they're not relocating the 20+ million who live in Jakarta.
They are relocating the government. The private companies weren’t invited. This is like how Burma moved its capital from Rangoon to Nay Pyi Taw, Rangoon is still the commercial capital if Burma.
The other examples I would reach for are Côte d'Ivoire moving its capital from Abidjan to Yamoussoukro in 1983, or Nigeria moving from Lagos to Abuja in 1991. In both cases, the old capital is still far and away the largest city in the country, like 10× the new capital city.
