Instead, I want to make a seemingly obvious game theoretical point. In a country with a balance of power between two or more parties, nobody but the most cavalier ideologues are going to stick their necks out for “The Resistance” when they know that there is a high probability that a Trumpist DoJ could subsequently prosecute them. (For that matter, several Chicago poll workers were convicted and went to jail in 1962). To enact large-scale fraud, you need to convince underlings to collude, but this only happens if they can be sure that they will not be put out to grass later. The GOP can’t credibly offer such guarantees, so there won’t be many people rushing to stick out their neck out for Trump. This also works in reverse, which is why back in August, I similarly dismissed Resistance fantasies that the Bad Orange Man will orchestra mass electoral fraud to keep himself in power:

I know Donald’s very praiseworthy of Vladimir Putin, but Putin is playing a really… [crosstalk] …tough, long game here. And one of the things he’s done is to let loose cyber attackers to hack into government files, to hack into personal files, hack into the Democratic National Committee.

That is, most people judge that you can have free will and be responsible for your actions even if all of your decisions and actions are entirely caused by earlier events in accord with natural laws

Today, thanks to the GOP, compromise has gone out the window in Washington.

This reduced user friction has begun to extend the implicit threat that used to come with federated services into centralized services as well. Where as before you could switch hosts, or even decide to run your own server, now users are simply switching entire networks.

Given that federated services always seem to coalesce around a provider that the bulk of people use, federation becomes a sort of implicit threat. Nobody really wants to run their own servers, but they know that it might be possible if their current host does something egregious enough to make it worth the effort.

collaborate on something in tilt brush um if you're in tilt brush and i'm in rec room we can 00:50:05 also still talk to each other because it's a communication layer like an overlay on on the actual game so you know those kind of things exist now uh and so pluto that was cool yeah pluto

wolf 3d 00:47:42 and uh they're they're advancing real quick but they put your face on game characters um in ways that are that translates to all the different games

how do we legitimize game modding

what's needed for the adoption is the digital trust and the simplification of design 00:38:27 and so with our approach you know we think about how does it blend into the game and enhance the game and how does it um you know improve the business of the game developer these are all key things for adoption um 00:38:40 so so we're working on a standard called artifact which is really going to support this concept of designer skins when brands and artists and creators start creating 00:38:53 their own skins and selling those in marketplaces

we don't just play games we live in game 00:35:44 spaces all the time and technology is starting to sort of layer or shrink wrap over that concept and so all of our application design and all of our future technology 00:35:55 designed needs to inform this idea that we live life as a game and there are ways to set milestones within that you know you have things uh like all kinds of experimental game design

We define two different reward structures: ternary1(win) /0(tie) /−1(loss) received at the endof a game (with all-zero rewards during the game), and Blizzard score. The ternary win/tie/lossscore is the real reward that we care about. The Blizzard score is the score seen by players on thevictory screen at the end of the game. While players can only see this score at the end of the game, weprovide access to the running Blizzard score at every step during the game so that the change in scorecan be used as a reward for reinforcement learning. It is computed as the sum of current resourcesand upgrades researched, as well as units and buildings currently alive and being built. This meansthat the player’s cumulative reward increases with more mined resources, decreases when losingunits/buildings, and all other actions (training units, building buildings, and researching) do notaffect it. The Blizzard score is not zero-sum since it is player-centric, it is far less sparse than theternary reward signal, and it correlates to some extent with winning or losing.

To win a game, a player must: 1. Accumulateresources (minerals and vespene gas), 2. Construct production buildings, 3. Amass an army, and4. Eliminate all of the opponent’s buildings. A game typically lasts from a few minutes to onehour, and early actions taken in the game (e.g., which buildings and units are built) have long termconsequences. Players have imperfect information since they can typically only see the portion ofthe map where they have units. If they want to understand and react to their opponent’s strategy theymust send units to scout. As we describe later in this section, the action space is also quite uniqueand challenging.

These games offer multiple advantages: 1. They have clearobjective measures of success; 2. Computer games typically output rich streams of observationaldata, which are ideal inputs for deep networks; 3. They are externally defined to be difficult andinteresting for a human to play. This ensures that the challenge itself is not tuned by the researcherto make the problem easier for the algorithms being developed; 4. Games are designed to be runanywhere with the same interface and game dynamics, making it easy to share a challenge precisely

Using larvae to eliminate food waste at this scale could be an ecological game-changer. A 2011 U.N. report detailed how rotting food emits millions of tons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, accounting for about 7 percent of the world’s greenhouse gas emissions. But when maggots consume food waste, they take all that carbon with them.

The colon (:) after guess tells Rust we’ll annotate the variable’s type

Rust allows us to shadow the previous value of guess with a new one. This feature is often used in situations in which you want to convert a value from one type to another type. Shadowing lets us reuse the guess variable name rather than forcing us to create two unique variables, such as guess_str and guess for example.

The Rng trait defines methods that random number generators implement, and this trait must be in scope for us to use those methods.

When you do want to update a crate, Cargo provides another command, update, which will ignore the Cargo.lock file and figure out all the latest versions that fit your specifications in Cargo.toml.

Cargo has a mechanism that ensures you can rebuild the same artifact every time you or anyone else builds your code: Cargo will use only the versions of the dependencies you specified until you indicate otherwise.

Rust warns that you haven’t used the Result value returned from read_line, indicating that the program hasn’t handled a possible error.

For now, all you need to know is that like variables, references are immutable by default.

associated function of the String type. An associated function is implemented on a type, in this case String, rather than on a particular instance of a String. Some languages call this a static method.

The results showed that agents that implement a dynamic game balancingapproach performed close to user level, and also provided the highest user satisfaction, validating our hypothesis of mutual influence between game balance and user satisfaction.

Slavery, rather than symbolic religious conict, may have provided the deepunderpinning of the southwestern events. Legal enslavement of AmericanIndians by Spaniards had been forbidden by royal decree since the mid-sixteenth century, but that did not stop the actual practice. So-called "justwars" provided one loophole, and on that basis Apaches, Utes, and otherswho refused to acknowledge Spanish authority were fair game for enslavers

Frontend frameworks are a positive sum game! Svelte has no monopoly on the compiler paradigm either. Just like I think React is worth learning for the mental model it imparts, where UI is a (pure) function of state, I think the frontend framework-as-compiler paradigm is worth understanding. We're going to see a lot more of it because the tradeoffs are fantastic, to where it'll be a boring talking point before we know it.

a recognized major concern for the game developers’ community is to provide mechanisms to dynamically balance the difficulty level of the games in order to keep the user interested in playing

And even though 10-year-old Muj would’ve just been learning the game of football on a field in Yemen with his friends, he’d still have believed it because his dream always was to become a famous footballer.

The key was to catch them on film harassing and arresting Native people who were peacefully fishing.

Many white fishers blamed Pacific Northwest tribes for the declining numbers of trout and salmon. After WWII, the Washington State Sportsmen’s Council, a political lobbying group of recreational fishers, took the lead in opposing Native fishing. Many employees of the Washington State Department of Game and Fish attended meetings and involved themselves in the affairs of the council. The group argued that Native people needed to be educated on conservation principles just like other Americans.

the universe is like a giant billiard ball game. Just as the path of every billiard ball is determined by the forces acting on it, so is the path of every elementary particle.

Although dominoes is deceptively simple on the surface, the strategies of so-phisticated domino play can be quite complex. In fact, it is partially due to the widearray of potential game goals and complexity in game strategies that the gameholds appeal for players from as young as 6 or 7 years old to adults well into theirsenior years. Expert players recognize the great skill, experience, and planning ittakes to play this game well. Players must learn to coordinate mathematical addi-tive and multiplicative understandings with complex game goals, such as scoring,blocking opponents from scoring, assisting one’s partner, and simultaneously par-ticipating in lively dialogue.

The top of the figure represents posttest scores in the no-distraction condition, and thus the bars reflect the amount of impairment from a student’s normal level of performance. Conversation had the largest negative effect, impairing performance by 30% from baseline, followed by high-arousal video, video game, and texting/social media. Unexpectedly, folding laundry impaired posttest performance by over 20%, which is equivalent to two full letter grades. Least impairing was the low-arousal video, yet this condition still lowered scores by 15%, or one and a half letter grades. These results indicate that the presence of distraction during learning can lower subsequent test scores by multiple letter grades.

he court gave regulatory powers to the state’s Game and Fish Department, arguing that state control over off-reservation fishing was both “reasonable and necessary” for conservation purposes. It did not matter that the defendant was a member of a tribe that had signed a treaty guaranteeing their right to fish at their usual places.

In 1963, a court in Washington state ruled in State v. McCoy against a Swinomish fisher who had been fishing along the Skagit River, and then commercially selling his catches. The court gave regulatory powers to the state’s Game and Fish Department, arguing that state control over off-reservation fishing was both “reasonable and necessary” for conservation purposes. It did not matter that the defendant was a member of a tribe that had signed a treaty guaranteeing their right to fish at their usual places.

Fishing rights activists also pursued a legal strategy, bringing a lawsuit against the State of Washington. In September 1970, several hundred local police and Washington State troopers had attacked Puyallup fishing rights activists, arresting sixty of them. The assault on the fishing camp was the most violent and publicized to that point—police used tear gas, the State Game Department wielded clubs, some Native folks carried guns and knives. Crucially, a US attorney witnessed the violence, and moved to support the Native protestors, bringing the Department of Justice into the lawsuit against Washington state. With the federal government now behind them, most of the state’s tribes joined the litigation in US v. Washington. It was a momentous turning point, because now the Native protestors had the resources and power of the federal government behind them. In February 1974, the judge, George Boldt decided in favor of the tribes, in an almost complete vindication of all the tribes had claimed as theirs. He agreed with them on every major point. He also declared that the tribes’ “fair share” of the salmon constituted one half of the fish and that the tribes had sovereign rights as governments to regulate their members’ participation in that harvest. The decision was affirmed by the federal court of appeals in 1975, and the Supreme Court declined to hear an appeal one year later.

A decline in salmon runs due to pollution, sportfishing, and massive fisheries led state authorities to enact conservation measures, restricting fishing in certain areas or during certain times of year. Although during the first of these restrictions, in the late nineteenth-century, Native subsistence fishing was overlooked as authorities recognized the validity of those treaties, into the twentieth century, non-Native fishers began to call for more sweeping restrictions to bring Native people in line with state fish and game laws. Many white fishers blamed Pacific Northwest tribes for the declining numbers of trout and salmon. After WWII, the Washington State Sportsmen’s Council, a political lobbying group of recreational fishers, took the lead in opposing Native fishing. Many employees of the Washington State Department of Game and Fish attended meetings and involved themselves in the affairs of the council. The group argued that Native people needed to be educated on conservation principles just like other Americans

A chess enthusiast might memorize dozens of time-honored opening gambits, but was that so different from gleaning strategies from pro streamers on Twitch?

A lot of young entrepreneurs think strategy is something like a chess game. They think they have to pre-plan the whole sequence of moves — and actually, in fact, sometimes, you get elements of that. But frequently, what I tell founders is, “No, you actually don’t need to plot out every move in your head. In fact, you shouldn’t. Just stay nimble enough so that when you see a strategic opportunity, you recognize it and you orient towards it.”

This is not about just making sure you’re familiar enough with the material that you can facilitate a class discussion. Nor is it about just understanding the mechanics well enough that you can provide technical support, helping your students understand how to operate the game. Instead, preparing to assign a game is about play.

Hollywood-style narratives had been tried in games before, but they tended to founder on unimaginative stories, sub-B-movie acting and jarring shifts in visual style between the gameplay and the noninteractive narrative sequences (‘‘cutscenes,’’ in video game lingo). Dylan Holmes, in his book on video-game story-telling, ‘‘A Mind Forever Voyaging,’’ has noted that Metal Gear Solid created a seamless tran-sition between game and story by rendering its cutscenes in the same graphical engine as the rest of the game.

They’re games in which the object is not to kill anyone, which goes against what long has been the essence of the action game. But Metal Gear Solid managed to make picking your way through enemy-in-fested territory immersive and fun.

Marshall utilized this racist view of Native people to assert that colonization of the Americas and dispossession of Indian land was an “inevitable process.” For example, Marshall states, “As the white population advanced, that of the Indians necessarily receded.

Pre-service Teachers' Practices towards Digital Game Design for Technology Integration into Science Classrooms

According to research [e.g. 6, 7, 9, 10], many games aimed at health promotion do work, but still there is not enough evidence to conclude definitely what kind of design principles work for what purposes. Traditionally the research literature in health games does not describe which game design methodologies were used.

Daily play rewards could remain as a way for Tix to return. Boot up your first game for the day, get Tix. The easiest way to prevent bots is to not allow users to sell items for Tix or trade them. Have those monthly items you mentioned be the only thing Tix can be redeemed for.
