Batman ma już niemal 80 lat. Mroczny Rycerz wciąż pojawia się w komiksach, serialach, filmach. Michał Chudoliński podkreśla, że jego przyszłość jest jednak związana ze światem gamingu. Na czym polega fenomen Batmana?

When federal agents approach you, you can’t be sure what their real agenda is or what they hope to learn. Whether you’ve already been approached or you just want to be prepared, read this FAQ.

“We need to see unemployment rise. Unemployment has to jump 40, 50 percent in my view. We need to see pain in the economy.”...

Imagine releasing a game for 99 cents under the personal plan, where Steam takes 30% off the top for their platform fee, and then unity takes 20 cents per install, and now you're making a maximum of 46 cents on the dollar.

The fact that these aren’t perfect correlations leaves plenty of room for outliers: body-builders with huge amounts of muscle who have a high BMI, despite very low body fat, say, or people with relatively low overall BMIs but a high proportion of fat. And it means that, at least in some studies, taking into account waist...

"Rzucił mnie na łóżko i przytrzymał ręce kolanami, tak że nie mogłam się ruszać. Usiadł mi na klatce i zaczął na mnie pluć. Kosmyki moich włosów owijał wokół palców i kolejno je wyrywał. Błagałam, żeby przestał" – to fragment zeznań kobiety, która oskarżyła swojego kochanka o brutalne pobicie. Był...

[...] that’s not how any of this works. At all. If the ADL is convincing advertisers not to advertise on exTwitter, that’s their free speech in the marketplace of ideas. And if that speech caused advertisers to bail, that means that Elon is losing in the marketplace of ideas. If you actually believe in free speech, you...

Musk’s public persona is an important marketing tool. Consider his appearance on Saturday Night Live: Tesla didn’t have to run advertisements because Musk is so closely associated with the brand that the entire episode functions as a car commercial. Meanwhile, every other EV maker bought ad time. You can think of Musk as the...

Ah, the wind in your hair, the open road ahead, and not a care in the world… except all the trackers, cameras, microphones, and sensors capturing your every move. Ugh. Modern cars are a privacy nightmare.

Numerous studies have shown that both sexes care more about harms to women than to men. Men get punished more severely than women for the same crime, and crimes against women are punished more severely than crimes against men. Institutions openly discriminate against men in hiring and promotion policies—and a majority of men...

Doom 2's cities are among the most-criticized part of the game. However, I always felt like they were the best part, for the same reasons why people hate them.

Leon Frey, a foraging guide and field mycologist at Cornwall-based Family Foraging Kitchen, which organises foraging field trips, said the samples he had seen contained serious flaws such as referring to “smell and taste” as an identifying feature. “This seems to encourage tasting as a method of identification. This should...

Ze skarpy wiślanej płynęły w tym rejonie do rzeki dwa potoki, Polkówka i Ruda. Nazwa tego pierwszego pochodziła od osadnika imieniem Polik, który gdzieś tam miał gospodarstwo, druga zaś to popularna nazwa takich rzeczułek. I od niej z kolei nazwano całą wieś, która wyrosła wzdłuż niej.

Od niedzieli krajowe i zagraniczne media wałkują temat „ataku na polską infrastrukturę krytyczną” w postaci nieautoryzowanego zatrzymywania pociągów. Temat sygnału Radio-Stop jest dość ciekawy – przyjrzyjmy się mu zatem bliżej.

Ma tylko jednego podopiecznego. Jest nim dorosły autystyczny mężczyzna. - Moja rola jest taka, żeby nie siedział zamknięty w czterech ścianach, ale żył życiem. Lubi iść na miasto na herbatę. Lubi oglądać obrazy, więc chodzimy do galerii i muzeów - opowiada Grzegorz Jarosław Rybak.

"My hypothesis is that, while the terminally-online are entirely aware of Twitter's rebrand to X, most consumers aren't," Seufert wrote in a post that accompanied his findings, "and their searches for 'Twitter' on platform stores surface ads and genuine search results that are in no way redolent of Twitter."

Simone Weil’s life illustrates the capacity to give up the things we feel we’re owed – such as a carbon-intensive consumer-driven lifestyle

The former New York mayor and lawyer for Donald Trump surrendered to authorities in Georgia on Wednesday, following his indictment last week on 13 charges related to his role in the effort to overturn the 2020 presidential election. Giuliani’s bond was set at $150,000 after his legal team met with Fulton County District...

In addition to the possible business threat, forcing OpenAI to identify its use of copyrighted data would expose the company to potential lawsuits. Generative AI systems like ChatGPT and DALL-E are trained using large amounts of data scraped from the web, much of it copyright protected. When companies disclose these data sources...

Robert M Lee, CEO of Dragos, a cybersecurity firm, recently received a message. A sophisticated criminal hacking group breached Dragos's employee email account and threatened to expose the company's data unless a ransom was paid....

If you asked a spokesperson from any Fortune 500 Company to list the benefits of genocide or give you the corporation’s take on whether slavery was beneficial, they would most likely either refuse to comment or say “those things are evil; there are no benefits.” However, Google has AI employees, SGE and Bard, who are more...

Over the course of the spring semester, Hahn noticed a pattern of these false positives. Turnitin’s tool was much more likely to flag international students’ writing as AI-generated. As Hahn started to see this trend, a group of Stanford computer scientists designed an experiment to better understand the reliability of AI...

James Woods got in a spat with Twitter CEO Elon Musk over potential changes to the platform, resulting in the billionaire blocking the conservative actor.

Najpierw były plotki. Już za dzieciaka niektóre słyszałem, nawet jak jeszcze nie wszystkie mogłem objąć rozumem. Później temat sam z siebie przycichł. Do parafii przyszedł nowy ksiądz, a jeden ze starych po prostu zniknął. Dostał przeniesienie, czy jakiś awans. Mnie to jakoś specjalnie nie interesowało, a i...

What do they think a collapse is supposed to look like? It seems people just cannot just cannot get past the "Zombie Apocalypse" theory of collapse. They imagine hordes of disease-ridden folks dressed in rags stumbling around and fighting over cans of petrol and stripping cans of food from shelves. That's not what collapse looks...

In July, the city of Sacramento, California, planned to move people from shaded public spaces to Miller Park, a paved lot without any shade. Arguing that this would knowingly endanger their health and lives, the Sacramento Homeless Union filed a legal complaint, much as it did last summer and at the height of the pandemic. The...

When China's prodigious tech influencer, Naomi Wu, found herself silenced, it wasn't just the machinery of a surveillance state at play. Instead, it was a confluence of state repression and the sometimes capricious attention of a Western audience that, as she asserts, often views Chinese activists more as ideological tokens than...

W skrócie – chodzi o „kontrolowane wypożyczanie” e-booków przez serwis Internet Archive. Założenie jest takie, że jeśli w bibliotece mamy egzemplarz papierowy, można zamiast niego wypożyczać wersję cyfrową – tyle sztuk, ile mamy egzemplarzy....

To get a better sense of how researchers are currently interacting with the site formerly known as Twitter, Nature reached out to more than 170,000 scientists who were, or still are, users; nearly 9,200 responded.
