JC: I just remember that ... I was real young, and I never really cared about that to be honest with you. I know it's kind of dumb. But I grew up like if I was a kid from over there. I had all these struggles going on, but basically, I never thought about Mexico, ever coming back, it never even crossed my mind. That's not something that I thought of. I thought I would be living with mom and dad. Basically all I remember is that all you have to do is prove that you have been going to a public school for five years or more and if you were underage, automatically your paperwork would start. And I was provided with a social security number and everything. So I even had a social security number.Claudia: And you still got deported.JC: Yes.Claudia: Yes.JC: Yes, so I would imagine, I see a lot of people that didn't have anything at all, and they were having action for the same things I was getting deported for, and I was wondering why. But they knew what they were doing. The court system and the law system in general, it's a psychological game. And they know how to play it real well. They know where to put pressure. So, they knew what to do with me when I was at that point where like sign here, get out, or stay here. They know what they're doing. And the public pretender, because they're not defenders, that they gave us, they didn't provide much help. They basically reiterated what the previous person had said to us. They weren't no help.

JC: You can't just keep sticking people in prison all the time, you can't keep throwing them away. The problem is still there, you can't hide it anymore. It's happening. People are going out, and people are shooting people. The laws are getting stricter and people out there, they think if I'm going to go to prison for the rest of my life I might as well hold court right here in this place. And the government knows that if a father figure is not home their kids are more than likely going to end up being a low paid slave laborer in prison as well. Those are numbers, and that's something that can't be denied, you know? I was stupid and I fell into that number game. I regret that, but somebody needs to hear that, they need to know what's really going on.

You could make a game targeting the Wii because of the Flash Player. This was pretty amazing to a lot of people because now anybody and everybody could make games for the Nintendo Wii, bypassing Nintendo’s very strict development process. Your hobbyist work could be on a Nintendo. All the player had to do was open the Wii browser, and go to one of these Wii specific portals, or the URL you gave them. The community around this even went so far as to release libraries that let the Flash Player interface with the (at the time new and very exciting) WiiMote. Sites like the WiimoteProject.com, and WiiFlash.org served as Wii specific development resources for people. With just a simple bit of ActionScript you could have access to all the buttons and features for the WiiMote AND the end result ran in the browser. It just worked and was accessible to everyone. This was Flash in a nutshell. Because it was easy to run it everywhere, anyone could make things for that once inaccessible platform as long as it had a browser. No approval process. No strict store standards. No licensing agreements to gain access to anything… Just that creative freedom and sharing.

Jeimmy: I like football. Yes, I like football. I love it. Because I also have that. I prefer American men than Mexican men. So if you look at like ... I mean guys make fun of girls because of this. Girls only see soccer because they see the guy. But it's true. I mean honestly, it is true. I like seeing football because I mean it's a savage game where you see men pushing each other and throwing them against each other, and it's pretty cool.

In the last two years, governments of many countries imposed heavy social restrictions to contain the spread of the COVID-19 virus, with consequent increase of bad mood, distress, or depression for the people involved. Few studies investigated the impact of these restrictive measures on individual social proficiency, and specifically the processing of emotional facial information, leading to mixed results. The present research aimed at investigating systematically whether, and to which extent, social isolation influences the processing of facial expressions. To this end, we manipulated the social exclusion experimentally through the well-known Cyberball game (within-subject factor), and we exploited the occurrence of the lockdown for the Swiss COVID-19 first wave by recruiting participants before and after being restricted at home (grouping factor). We then tested whether either form of social segregation influenced the processing of pain, disgust or neutral expressions, across multiple tasks probing access to different components of affective facial responses (state-specific, shared across states). We found that the lockdown (but not game-induced exclusion) affected negatively the processing of pain-specific information, without influencing other components of the affective facial response related to disgust or broad unpleasantness. In addition, participants recruited after the confinement reported lower scores in both empathy questionnaires and affective assessments of Cyberball co-players. These results suggest that social isolation affected negatively individual sensitivity to other people’s affect and, with specific reference to the processing of facial expressions, the processing of pain-diagnostic information.

Yordani: I mean that was my reason for coming over here. I felt so trapped in the game. I was like, "If I just go over there, I'm going to be forced to not play video games. I'm going to be forced to reintegrate into society and just change, you know? Like, just coming back here is going to change me." And it did, I guess it worked, I saved myself, I guess.

Yordani: Uh-huh (affirmative). Uh-huh (affirmative). You'd get less credits, you had to earn less credits to graduate. And there I guess, it's more about crowds, so it's like I had even less reason to really graduate and I ended up just dropping out like when I was 18. And from there I guess I got addicted to video games, like really addicted to video games. I guess... I don't know, to escape, I feel like I had my reason, I guess that was my reason to get good at that game, because that was my reason for living, I guess.

The metaphor of “catching the ball that the children throw us, and then tossing it back to continue the game” is a favorite one in Reggio Emilia.

Outcome maximalization across sports has created "smarter" games with less variety and more all-or-nothing play. The fixation with quantifiable success can lead to a collective flattening of the human experience. Perhaps we need to include more randomness in the game. Each home field or home court should have distinctive features, different playing surfaces, or outdoor elements.

Miyamoto: I did when I was quite young. It didn’t even have a title yet. Itoi: You started making a game without even deciding on a title? Miyamoto: Yeah.

In a play-testing session, the game designer might then explictily ask the player questions about their experience but they might also observe instances of enjoyment or frustration or boredom. Observing such aesthetics or reactions to the game, the game designer might rethink the mechanics of the game, making changes to improve the aesthetic exprience of the player.

Under Modernism these same limitations came to be regarded as positive factors, and were acknowledged openly.

Mirhoseini et al. estimate that the number of possible configurations (the state space) of macro blocks in the floorplanning problems solved in their study is about 102,500. By comparison, the state space of the black and white stones used in the board game Go is just 10360.

This leads us to Markovits’s second critique of the aspirational view: The cycle that produces meritocratic inequality severely harms not only the middle class but the very elite who seem to benefit most from it.

Anne: So, you were playing this game with the tapes—Ben: With the tapes and stuff and then later we started elementary school and then once I started elementary school, it changed. Well my mother had a rule, she goes, "No English inside of the house.” Before, it’s “Speak English, speak English,” but once we started school, she goes, "I don't want you all speaking English here inside the house” to me and my brother. And we used to think that’s because she didn't understand, but it was because she wanted us to practice the Spanish.Ben: And when I would get home from school when I was going to kindergarten—my brother would get out an hour later—I would get home and my mother would give me these little comic magazines, Mexican comic magazines, and she'd have me read them. And then she would make me write letters to my grandmother. So that's how I was able to learn a little bit of, keep the Spanish and English. But English I did, I went through elementary, middle school, went to tenth grade in high school, then I dropped out of high school to go help my father. He started a small construction business, but then he got sick and he was hospitalized for three months.

Anne: And how did you learn English?Ben: How did I learn English? English, when my father was working at the horse stables of course I grew up around it because the owners of the stables, they would talk to us in English and they would give us candies, they would let us watch TV. But my father also had a tape recorder and he had some English cassettes. And, when dad was at work, my mother would have my brother and I sit there, and to us at first it was like a game, to be able to punch the play and the rewind and all that. It did help and that's the first actual learning encounter, as far as applying yourself to try to learn, was that little recording machine.

First off: The fact that the developer read the review, saw that a puzzle from elsewhere had made it into the game, fact-checked this, responded, and made an update within 48 hours is exactly the kind of thing I want to support.

"While it takes time to make these changes now, it's a one-time engineering cost that will have lasting impacts, both internally and externally," Sorenson said in an email. "We're in this for the long game, and we know inclusive language is just as much about how we code and what we build as it is about person-to-person interactions."

This, incidentally, is why it’s easier to raise venture capital with an idea and a deck and maybe a prototype than it is once you have a product in customers’ hands and a little bit of revenue. It’s probably why the NBA Draft gets twice as many viewers as the average nationally televised game. People fucking love potential. 

Moreover, the introduction of a digital euro would not necessarily be a game changer for the international role of the euro, which will continue to depend to a large extent on fundamental forces, such as stable economic fundamentals, size, and deep and liquid financial markets.

Design features could influence the ability and incentives of non-residents to use the CBDC as a means of payment, unit of account and/or store of value. The special feature presents model simulations by ECB staff using a new structural macroeconomic model, which allows the effect of the different economic mechanisms at play to be quantified. The simulations suggest that a CBDC supports the use of a currency in cross-border payments but is not necessarily a game changer. As noted already, fundamental forces, such as the stability of economic fundamentals and size, remain the most important factors for international currency status.

Axel: Yeah. I went back to school. I went back to the same school that I used to go. Everybody was like, "Where were you last two years?" Somebody started a rumor I was in Canada. Some people knew where I were, because I kept in contact with a couple people and they knew exactly where I were. Everything went back to normal once I got back to school. Once I got off, they did give me six months of probation and I didn't do anything. I was doing exactly what they wanted me. From work, from house to school, from school to the house. No time in between at all, no walks with anybody, nothing. It was like all right, going to school, cool. Got to school, school's out, okay, I'm going home. "Hey, come stay, come go for an ice cream." Nope. I got to go home.Axel: Just six months after that, I would probably go out with them for a drink, I would go out with them for a game of basketball, football, swimming, anything but just not right now.

all the mechanics are missing

In the lab or studio, the hardest question to answer is What shall we build? What shall we? The most energizing question for engineers usually comes after this shall bit. They want to rush to: How do we build it? Or even: What can we build with the stuff we’ve got? They want to minimize the talking and get to the build itself, wrangling with code or laser cutters or 3D printing.

But by 2017 it had become apparent that “making it” on Twitch required more than a 9-to-5 commitment. Streamers had to be on all the time to grind out followers across game genres, across time zones. With no division between work and play, free time and work time, online and offline, streamers’ precious free moments became defined by missed opportunities (something many freelancers can probably relate to). In 2018, when the Fortnite boom really catapulted Twitch into the mainstream, Ninja figured that in the hour he spent talking to The New York Times about burnout, he lost 200 or 300 subscribers. When he went to E3, he said, he lost 100,000 subscribers, or $500,000. Even his six-day honeymoon, he says, was “a calculated risk.”

My mother, she had to cross the bad way. She went through the desert, she went through the river. My sisters and I, we went through the bridge, like the regular crossing, but we used other people's papers. My middle sister, they cut her hair off completely, and I had to call her Jose.Luisa: She had short, short hair. My sister's hair was up to her waist, and my mom just shaved it off and her name was Jose now, and it was a game. I didn't know what was happening, of course.

But this wasn’t a well-played game, actually. The game itself wasn’t well-played. We were disappointed, even though our team wiped the other team out. The other team disappointed us so much, they were in such poor shape, were playing so poorly. There was no challenge. No opportunity to make the whole game excellent. Even our team got bored and sloppy and stopped caring—though they won, though they accomplished what they were getting paid to accomplish, our team was bummed out.

But focusing on the risks within the game obscures a much bigger problem: The game is no longer optional. Everyone must play. We have little to lose because we already lost everything: Stable jobs, affordable homes, education that lasts a lifetime, and worry-free retirement are no longer an option. Even money itself ain’t what it used to be. It loses value by simply sitting in the bank.

Skirmish mode, where the original game did great, this version lacks a bit of content. For instance, in the original game you could give your CPU (AI) players a name, so you could for instance relive the Avernii vs the XII Legion or anything for that matter. In the remasterd version you can't name any CPU players, which in my opinion is a loss. A lot of the skirmish fun was with the immersion of the factions.

The bloom of COVID19 has resulted in the explosion of ripple pollens which have severely affected the world community in the terms of their multi-axial impact. These pollens, despite being indistinguishable, have a varied set of characteristics in terms of their origin and contribution towards the overall declining homeostasis of human beings. The most prominent of these pollens are misinformation. Various studies have been conducted, performed, and stochastically replicated to build ML-based models to accurately detect misinformation and its variates on the common modalities of spread. However, the recent independent analysis conducted on the prior studies reveals how the current fact-checking systems fail and fall flat in fulfilling any practical demands that the misinfodemic of COVID19 brought for us. While the scientific community broadly accepts the pandemic-like resemblance of the rampant misinformation spread, we must also make sure that our response to the same is multi-faceted, interdisciplinary, and doesn't stand restricted. As crucial it is to chart the features of misinformation spread, it is also important to understand why it spreads in the first place? Our paper deals with the latter question through a game-theory-based approach. We implement a game with two social media users or players who aim at increasing their outreach on their social media handles whilst spreading misinformation knowingly. We take five independent parameters from 100 Twitter handles that have shared misinformation during the period of COVID19. Twitter was chosen as it is a prominent social media platform accredited to the major modality for misinformation spread. The outreach increment on the user’s Twitter handles was measured using various features provided by Twitter- number of comments, number of retweets, and number of likes. Later, using a computational neuroscientific approach, we map each of these features with the type of neural system they trigger in a person’s brain. This helps in understanding how misinformation whilst being used as an intentional decoy to increase outreach on social media, also, affects the human social cognition system eliciting pseudo-responses that weren’t intended otherwise leading to realizing possible neuroscientific correlation as to how spreading misinformation on social media intentionally/unintentionally becomes a strategic maneuver to increased reach and possibly a false sense of accomplishment.

Before introducing the KPIs, a majority of polish science was basically people milking the system and doing barely any (valueable) research. It was seen as an easy, safe and ok paying job where the only major hassle is having to teach the students. You often needed connections to get in. It was partially like that because of the communist legacy, where playing ball with the communist party was the most important merit for promotion, which, over the course of 45 years (the span of communism in Poland), filled the academia management ranks with conformist mediocrities.Now, after a series of major reforms, there's a ton of KPIs, and people are now doing plenty of makework research to collect the required points, but still little valueable work gets done. Also, people interested in doing genuine science who would be doing it under the old system are now discouraged from joining academia, because in the system they're expected to game the points system and not to do real work.What is the lesson from this is? Creating institutionalized science is hard? It requires a long tradition and scientific cultural standards and can't be just wished into place by bureaucrats? Also, perhaps it's good to be doing the science for some purpose, which in the US case are often DoD grants, where the military expects some practical application. This application may be extremely distant, vague and uncertain (they fund pure math research!), but still, they're the client and they expect results. Whereas the (unstated) goal of science in Poland seems to be just to increase the prestige of Polish science and its Universities by getting papers into prestigious journals, whereas the actual science being done doesn't matter at all - basically state-level navel gazing.

Unfortunately one can only buy the standard or the soundtrack version, without any chance to upgrade, to buy the DLC extra. In this case I can only say if you get the game on a good sale (75 percent or more) and collect music, or if you want to support the developer, you might want the soundtrack edition.

What matters most is how the people playing the game feel about it.

The researchers had asked everyone in their game a set of questions: Did people follow the game? Did they understand the rules? Did they think it was fair? These questions were designed to measure which salespeople had “entered the magic circle,” meaning that they agreed to be bound by the game’s rules rather than the normal rules that ordinarily guide their work. After all, if people haven’t entered a game mentally, there’s no real point to it.Sure enough, the salespeople who felt that the basketball game was a load of baloney actually felt worse about work after the game was introduced, and their sales performance declined slightly. The game benefited only the salespeople who had fully bought into it—they became significantly more upbeat at work.

In addition to communicating verbally, the nurse must also be aware of messages sent to others through their nonverbal communication. Nonverbal communication can have a tremendous impact on the communication experience and may be much more powerful than the verbal message itself. It has been estimated that 80% or more of a message sent to a receiver consists of nonverbal communication (see Figure 2.2[4]).

Background: During outbreaks of vaccine-preventable diseases, compulsory vaccination is sometimes discussed as a last resort to counter vaccine refusal. Besides ethical arguments, however, empirical evidence on the consequences of making selected vaccinations compulsory is lacking. Such evidence is needed to make informed public health decisions. This study therefore assesses the effect of partial compulsory vaccination on the uptake of other voluntary vaccines. Method: A total of 297 ( N ) participants took part in an online experiment that simulated two sequential vaccination decisions using an incentivized behavioural vaccination game. The game framework bases on epidemiological, psychological and game-theoretical models of vaccination. Participants were randomized to the compulsory vaccination intervention ( n = 144) or voluntary vaccination control group ( n = 153), which determined the decision architecture of the first of two decisions. The critical second decision was voluntary for all participants. We also assessed the level of anger, vaccination attitude and perceived severity of the two diseases. Results: Compulsory vaccination increased the level of anger among individuals with a rather negative vaccination attitude, whereas voluntary vaccination did not. This led to a decrease in vaccination uptake by 39% in the second voluntary vaccination (reactance). Conclusion: Making only selected vaccinations compulsory can have detrimental effects on the vaccination programme by decreasing the uptake of voluntary vaccinations. As this effect occurred especially for vaccine hesitant participants, the prevalence of vaccine hesitancy within a society will influence the damage of partial compulsory vaccination.

Dragon Army

In real life I ride a Ninja, the last in a line of many bikes over more than forty-five years. However, within this game I've apparently never ridden a sport bike. Or any motorcycle. Or a bicycle. Or watched people ride. Or walked upright. I'm playing with a Thrustmaster joystick, but frankly I might as well be controlling the bike with a Ouija board. If I can not hit a wall, it's a personal victory. Personal victories do not occur often. Instead of the feeling that I'm controlling an exquisitely balanced, steep fork angle sport bike, or even a full dress Harley with an enormously fat passenger and two flat tires, I feel like I'm controlling a rocket-powered lawnmower with several missing tires. Perhaps towing a couple trailers connected with springs. Dying fish don't flop around like me. In forty minutes I've not come close to anything resembling control, much less fun, and I've hit my limit on time I'm willing to throw at it. Wasted money for me; time to acknowledge my mistake, uninstall and get on with my life.

This display of teasing and bullying Chiron simply for being passive, quiet, and little, therefore not fitting the conventional role of a young boy, shows how traits of toxic hypermasculinity can be transferred to children from the youngest age.

These myths still have an impact today. In a previous study, Black children with appendicitis were less likely to receive appropriate pain medication than white children.

However, the researchers say they cannot be explained by social, economic, or clinical factors that would change how doctors treat POC in emergencies.Differences in emergency care also apply to adults. A 2020 study shows that between 2005 and 2016, medical professionals were 10% less likelyTrusted Source to admit Black patients to the hospital than white patients. It also suggests Black people were 1.26 times more likely to die in the ED or hospital.PregnancyRacial disparities also affect the medical care of pregnant people and newborn babies.The term “infant mortality” refers to the proportion of babies who die below the age of one compared to those that live. Organizations often use infant mortality to measure the success of postnatal healthcare.Between 1999–2013, infant mortality tended to decrease in the U.S. However, there were still disparities between racial groups. The following 2013 data comes from the HHSTrusted Source:GroupInfant mortalityBlack11 in 1,000Indigenous8 in 1,000White and Latinx5 in 1,000Asian or Pacific Islander4 in 1,000Black people also face higher risks during pregnancy.

Sometimes, they can cause disability and require ongoing medical care.A 2019 study found that Black people aged 51–55 were 28% more likelyTrusted Source to already have a chronic illness compared to white people of the same age. The study also found that Latinx people of the same age accumulated chronic diseases faster than white people.The researchers note numerous factors may affect this, such as chronic stress, chronic inflammation, lower rates of insurance coverage, and less access to quality healthcare or PCPs.Mental healthAccording to Mental Health America (MHA), mental illness rates are roughly equivalent between some marginalized groups and white people. However, there are some significant areas of difference, such as:DisabilityOverall, Black people experience a disproportionate amount of disability from mental health conditions compared to white people. Depression in Black and Latinx people is also more likely to be persistent.SchizophreniaBlack males are four times more likely to receive a schizophrenia diagnosis than white males. MHA suggests this is because clinicians can overlook the symptoms of depression and focus more on psychotic symptoms when treating Black people.AddictionNative and Indigenous Americans have the highest alcohol dependence rates out of any marginalized group. Conversely, Asian Americans may be under-diagnosed. A 2016 study suggests doctors are less likely to diagnose alcohol addiction in Asian Americans compared to white people, despite having the same symptoms.This may occur due to the “model minority” stereotype, which frames Asian Americans as successful and self-reliant. The implicit bias this creates may lead doctors to overlook signs that Asian American patients require help.SummaryMany studies reveal racial disparities in how marginalized groups access and receive healthcare in the U.S. Sometimes, these disparities are related to socioeconomic inequality. However, biases and stereotypes also have a serious impact on how doctors treat POC. This can lead to over- or under-diagnosis of certain conditions, a lack of proper pain management, and increased health risks, even when economic status is not a factor.ADVERTISEMENTCheck your vitamin levels with a micronutrient testThis micronutrient test checks for vitamin B12, D, E, Magnesium, Copper, Selenium & Zinc.

130 years on, privacy is still largely conceived of as an individual thing, wherein we get to make solo decisions about when we want to be left alone and when we’re comfortable being trespassed upon.

orange blur 

in slow motion, almost exactly

with a wild, headlong motion for the game he loved like a country

who looks stunned and nailed to the floor    in the wrong direction,

and spinning around to throw a strike    to the outlet who is already shoveling

gathering the orange leather    from the air like a cherished possession

for the game he loved like a country

laying it gently    against the glass for a lay-up,

in the wrong direction, trying to catch sight of a high, gliding dribble and a man    letting the play develop in front of him in slow motion, almost exactly like a coach’s drawing on the blackboard,

he loved like a country

gathering the orange leather    from the air like a cherished possession

He’s playing a postmodern game against modern rivals. He’s like Neo. He’s not trying to forcefully bend the spoon; he understands there is no spoon. He has more money points than all but two people in the world to show for it.

This rhetorical power derives from the "-ification" rather than from the "game". -ification involves simple, repeatable, proven techniques or devices: you can purify, beautify, falsify, terrify, and so forth. -ification is always easy and repeatable, and it's usually bullshit. Just add points.

Game developers and players have critiqued gamification on the grounds that it gets games wrong, mistaking incidental properties like points and levels for primary features like interactions with behavioral complexity.

Gamification is easy. It offers simple, repeatable approaches in which benefit, honor, and aesthetics are less important than facility. For the consultants and the startups, that means selling the same bullshit in book, workshop, platform, or API form over and over again, at limited incremental cost. It ticks a box. Social media strategy? Check. Games strategy? Check.

What motivates human behaviour in social dilemmas? The results of public goods games are commonly interpreted as showing that humans are altruistically motivated to benefit others. However, there is a competing ‘confused learners’ hypothesis: that individuals start the game either uncertain or mistaken (confused) and then learn from experience how to improve their payoff (payoff-based learning). Here we (1) show that these competing hypotheses can be differentiated by how they predict contributions should decline over time; and (2) use metadata from 237 published public goods games to test between these competing hypotheses. We found, as predicted by the confused learners hypothesis, that contributions declined faster when individuals had more influence over their own payoffs. This predicted relationship arises because more influence leads to a greater correlation between contributions and payoffs, facilitating learning. Our results suggest that humans, in general, are not altruistically motivated to benefit others but instead learn to help themselves.

Yet what of those creators with more modest followings? A few online stars earn megabucks, but the tail is long (see charts). Spotify says it wants to give “a million creative artists the opportunity to live off their art”. But only about 0.2% of the 7m-plus musicians on the platform make more than $50,000 a year in royalties; just 3% make more than $1,000. There are 20m gaming “experiences” on Roblox, but nearly 15% of all play takes place on one game, “Brookhaven RP”, according to analysis by Ran Mo of Electronic Arts, a game developer. On Patreon, where people can subscribe to creative services of all sorts, 200,000 creators earn a total of $1bn a year. The top earner makes around $2m, but about 98% make less than the federal minimum wage of $1,257 a month.

The share of revenue that creators can earn seems to depend on how easily they could leave. Moving one’s email list away from Substack is simple, so the firm lets writers keep 90% of their revenues. Game-makers on Roblox, who are basically stuck there, keep about 25%.

However, the novelty wears off quickly and the whole thing soon becomes a slog — the career mode could be cut in half and the experience would be better for it.

The goal of the game is to turn the push-pull of data between us nonplayer characters and between us and our devices into money.

when we turn on our smartphones, that they are there for us to play with, it's more that the possession of one turns you into a nonplayer character. You are now emitting a string of data, about location and activity, with which Apple and Google and Facebook and Samsung and Amazon and all the r est get to play the meta-game. The game that seems to be for us is really for them. They play against each other, with us as the nonplayer charac-ters, the meatbots

Course Target: Children aged 6-9 Course duration: 8 hours in total. 2 hours offline on Wednesday and Friday. Two hours at home on Thursday and Saturday (including homework, not live broadcast). Teaching format: offline courses to experience RoboMasters, project-based courses (Project Based Learning). It tells about the future robot crossing back to 2021 to help you (student) complete the leader training mission of the super fleet. The training task is the elementary level, which allows students to experience the RoboMaster intuitively, and at the same time enlighten artificial intelligence. The story line is adapted from a large-scale event with an investment of 300,000 Australian dollars on the ground in Australia (2017 China-Australia Tourism Year Award-winning event). Design concept: Aimed at children aged 6-9 with weak abstraction ability, a series of “superpowers” of RoboMasters are displayed through concrete courseware, and the programming of controlling robots is translated into “Magic Power”. Use MIT classic building block programming. The online coursework is an extended exercise for the story line. Unlock related programming experiments and provide a test platform for creativity and curiosity. (Including network test) Children’s learning effects: Inspire children’s curiosity and desire to survive on robots, and combine with the experience of “traveling thousands of miles” to enrich their knowledge. Let students understand the intuitive relationship between software, hardware, and control. Course aids: RoboMaster + iPad (Please be sure not to let children bring their own iPad to class) + Apple TV 4K + Smart TV Faculty: The Global Top 100 team on the DJI official RoboMaster programming list writes customized teaching materials. How do parents understand: The “personalization” of the private school-style experience. During the course, students will be personalized to capture key points and provide notes. Parents who formally sign up will get a supporting course APP to track their learning progress and understand the follow-up extended learning curve. Supporting courses: The holiday class is the basic course. The story line takes place at the beginning of the challenge to train to understand the superpowers of the robot. The subsequent supporting After School course tells what you saw and heard on the way to start. As a leader, you will encounter various problems along the way. Robots help to solve different problems (Problem Based Learning) to challenge the championship. What parents need to prepare: iPad is required for offline. Other advantages: the “hardware” of the private school-style experience, which completely unlocks the comprehensive interaction of the RoboMaster. The parent-child relationship requires at least 2,000 Australian dollars of hardware. This course completely avoids parents from buying robots when they are not sure whether their children have strong interests. Online courses and after-school exercises can be combined with knowledge pointed to achieve learning purposes, and offline education is entertaining. Scholarship: Private school-style experience of “socialization”. For students who have outstanding performance in the learning process, NewAI will provide a small number of “Friend Pass” scholarships. Students can invite their friends in the follow-up After School courses to experience the interactive fun of RoboMasters and fight in groups for free. Course fee: AUD198/person 8 hours

You should design languages to start small and then grow. You should design languages so that users help you grow them easily. The solution to the Cathedral vs Bazaar is let everyone play but have a BDFL decide what to take in/out. Have a Shopping Mall of good ideas. It is good for you and your users, to give them a chance to buy in and pitch in. If you design a small number of useful patterns, you can say no to a lot more things that not everybody uses, while letting them define things they will use.

Young men, I am told, boggle at nothing over their wine; so, after a little more talk, a wager of considerable amount was actually laid, the money staked, and Theodore left to choose his own method of settling the dispute.

Yet there I’ve given up the game: With the exception of — perhaps — a few immutable characteristics, you are not something you discover one day through trial and error and interior spelunking; you are something that is constantly in the process of becoming, the invention of endless revolutions. You never know who you are, because who you are is always changing.
