You shouldn't check calls or texts while driving regardless of the type of phone, and on a smartphone you can at least have it announce who is calling or who sent the text (and even read the text for you.) You can also tell the phone to accept the call and put it on speaker (although that's technically also unsafe, but so is having a conversation with another person in the car while driving.)
The gap between lab grown diamonds versus those found in the Earth is much narrower than lab grown vs farm grown meat today. You need special technology to detect one from the other.
With time, it'll be an increasingly losing battle for the farmers.
> I've got no problem with people writing hacks for games; with the shit that gets released these days I expect it would often be far more rewarding than playing the game itself.
Hacks in singleplayer games are fun. Hacks in multiplayer games are not. If someone thinks the game is shit and unrewarding, they should just not play it and not ruin it for everyone else.
It's not petty. Hacks in multiplayer games ruin the game for everyone else, and the hack developer hopes that the hack will stay undetected forever. That's not proud. It's more like "I hope you can use this to be assholes and ruin the game for all other players as long as the game exists."
Also, this is just a game, but if it was ransomware and the dev said "hopefully this ransomware will be antivirus undetected for ever", you'd probably have a different opinion, no?
Perhaps I'm just going with a more charitable interpretation. The hack developer came up with what he thinks is a new approach that fundamentally undermines the approach taken by anticheat developers, of course he hopes that his work wasn't in vain.
Yeah, I think it is petty to call him out for having a "bad attitude" because of this.
Yeah. It's not a soul thing (since they don't believe it souls) or an ownership thing, it's that you're taking blood into your body. Fractions and such are considered a grey area since it's not technically "blood" aymore.
I am a JW. Personally, I wont accept anything that I know of having been derived from blood. That would include the artificial blood mentioned here as it is so-derived (AFAIKT it has red blood cells and platelets).
But, already existing blood volumizers are normally sufficient to save a person who suffered extreme blood loss; restoration of flow is more important than restoration of all the blood contents.
I do hope you're not referring to the google leak. That result is merely unreproducible with classical computers. It isn't currently useful for anything except PR.
Unless you mean something very specific by "Quantum theory" I don't understand how you can even make that statement about such a broad topic. Quantum mechanics are extremely useful.
