But the IP is still for children and it is still very likely that Game Freak and Nintendo want to make sure that the IP stays kids friendly even if the card game is mainly played by adults.

The tournaments are likely adults, but the IP is definitely being sold to kids and I wouldn’t be surprised if childhood is when most players first start playing.

Pokemon has a vested interest in keeping the tournament scene kid friendly even if most of the players are adults.

I feel like that’s because the concept of software architecture isn’t really taught and understood industry wide; it is like getting a journeyman carpenter to design an addition to a building but they don’t understand how the original structure was built so they recommend to tear the original building down and start from scratch.

It is made worse as programmers have a vested interest in maintaining a construction once maintenance mindset since construction requires more labor then maintenance.

Google destroys its products all the time. This isn’t new.

Well, what else would those engineers work on? Most of Meta’s product lines are either stable or dead. If they weren’t going to AI, they would just be going away.

Starbound was an example for how to not develop a video game. I feel like the have could have done a lot better if they spent more time trying to refine small parts of the game before building it out.

They wasted so much time redoing work because they developed on poor assumptions and then had to go rip out back out when it failed.

Your should try it again. I heard they added a couple of things.

There were a lot of initial economic studies done as electric cars started taking off trying to figure out how to pay for road infrastructure as the USA funded a lot of its infrastructure on gas taxes and that revenue stream was going to go away.

One of those studies found that, if you billed out the infrastructure costs per mile and included all other non-human costs of driving a car around, it was cheaper to have an empty car drive around than to pay for parking in certain urban areas.

Sounds like Waymo figured this out.

And that was the end of the wave for invite started social media.

The problem is that it isn’t an intentional design decision. It just happens to be the easiest way to add a “cost” to sign-up.

Pissed.

That won’t happen with its environmental laws unless solar takes over completely.

Colleges haven’t been training people how to read for centuries; it has been assumed that people entering college could read and write with a pen for a long time and college shifted with it.

And the collegiate system wasn’t based on Confucian teaching styles.

Yeah, but part of it is because students complained, the current ranking of universities don’t include quality of undergraduate education, and the public didn’t really understand what college was for when providing funding with strings attached.

You can argue that primary and secondary school was about workforce productivity, but college was designed for leadership training.

The point of an undergraduate degree isn’t knowledge; knowledge is only the first level in Bloom’s Taxonomy, a set of six levels of how people understand different topics.

The problem with the use of AI in college is that students are supposed to get to the application point in undergrad and that college is supposed to provide that practice. Using AI in college is like using a machine to lift weights. Sure, the weights are moved, but it doesn’t benefit the person who needed the exercise.

They are trying a razor and razorblade model. Build out a system for free/cheap to get vendor lock-in and charge through the nose on maintenance while trying to keep out any competition.

Worse, there is likely value in getting access to that data and they likely built the system to make it hard to audit access on their end.

I’m not the person who posted it, I’m just explaining the rational as requested.

Most animals raised for meat have been undergone breeding by humans to increase desirable traits at the expense of survivability in nature. Those animals are unlikely to survive in nature.

Even if they could, it would wreck local ecosystems if all meat livestock was freed to nature.

I wouldn’t dare.
