If I were an epileptic, I would appreciate seeing the warning before I buy the game, not once I've launched it. Which, by the way, invalidates Sony's return policy.

Do you think epileptics really need to be told every single time they start the game? I’d bet they’re as annoyed as non epileptics.

I drop and pick games back up after a long time very frequently, I'd certainly appreciate it if I were affected. Plus, what about borrowed/Steam family shared/whatever games?

I'm not a console player (or an epileptic), does Sony's storefront really not tell you about health warnings?

That's interesting. Do you have further reading? I've seen AFACT v iiNet, but that doesn't look to be the source of "cost of renting", just that the ISP isn't responsible for their users.

Yep, check out Dallas Buyers Club v iiNet

Here's some commentary on it:

> Justice Perram discussed the idea of speculative invoicing within Australia

> Representing to a consumer that they have a liability which they do not may well be misleading and deceptive conduct within the meaning of s 18 of the Australian Consumer Law and it may be equally misleading to represent to someone that their potential liability is much higher than it could ever realistically be. There may also be something to be said for the idea that speculative invoicing might be a species of unconscionable conduct within one or other of s 21 of the Australian Consumer Law or s 12CB of the Australian Securities and Investments Commission Act 2001 (Cth).

> Further, even if speculative invoicing was deemed to be lawful within Australia, the damages that the individual may be liable to are often calculated differently to that of the United States. In Australia, damages are compensatory in nature, meaning to compensate the plaintiff for the loss suffered. One Intellectual Property Lawyer has been quoted as saying, ‘If a film costs $20, the damages would ordinarily be expected to be $20.’

Why do I need to sign up to get the results? Why couldn't it just be on the page?

The Brier score and "diagnosis" are shown immediately, no signup needed. The email is optional and only if you want to see the calibration curve and the question breakdown sent to you. I'll make that clearer!

That still doesn't make sense. Why can't it just be shown on the page?


Same with swiping up.

Replying to the wrong person and trying to replace a phrase that wasn't used. Bravo, you take the cake for low effort post.


I was replying to ggp. I did misread micro-interactions, but my point still stands.

“Eloquence is the essential thing in a speech, not information.”


I doubt that's the issue. Phones already have a baseband processor and OS in control of the modem. Also evidence if viability is all the Windows laptops with WWAN.


If you watch the video, he looked at both.


Yes, but the end credits mentioned by the parent and the link to the image is the CED. That and the title of this post make it seem like this level of image clarity is from a LaserDisc which its not. I think it's worth being clear.


Watch the video if you believe it's worth being clear. The credits are perfectly visible on both the LaserDisc AND the CED. Approx 22:00-24:00 is the laser disc and 25:00 onwards is the CED. Enjoy.


And to support your point even further, in the video he captures the credits off a disc with constant angular velocity, but he _also_ completely lucks out and captures an image from a disc with constant linear velocity.

I'm so sick of this negative attitude. I get it when it comes to politics or more complex systems or conceptual ideas. But holy hell, we're talking about a "money shot" to get people interested in the subject.


Wow. Downvoted for factual clarification and helpful citation. No idea what drives such people, but must logically assume deception and obfuscation.


Ugh, I'm pretty sure it's Big CED deceptively here to muddy the waters and obfuscate superior LaserDisc Technology. Perhaps flag the post so the moderators can see it and make sure we root Big CED out of these forums and out of our lives for good.


I'm making placards now. Meet you on the corner of Pioneer and 78th st.


I’m in.

That depends on the width of your browser. On my mobile, nearly every paragraph had one word or part of a word as the last line.


Well, he writes often enough, for long enough, and being who he is, he's got to be a large part of everyone's training data.


You're absolutely right!
