I imagine the PCOO’s mistakes wouldn’t be such a big deal if not for (a) the admin insisting it was hiring the “best and the brightest”; (b) a propagandist being hired at salary grade 29 out of “utang ng loob”; and (c) the OP’s huge budget for “communications”

Like it or not, public opinion as expressed through social media matters. It’s why people spend money on shills and trolls and propaganda videos and whatnot - in order to help shape online public opinion in their favor.

I don’t really play Magic regularly anymore; Last year I only played Standard because I was Q’ed for the WMCQs. But when there’s a local Grand Prix, oldies like me crawl out of the woodwork and try to believe we can still do well in a tournament with minimal prep. Grand Prix Manila 2017 was to be Standard format, held on June 2-4, 2017, at the SMX convention center. At the start of the year I already knew I would be playing in this year’s GP Manila, but since I hadn’t played Standard for well over a year, I didn’t really know what I would be playing.

Posted on r/comicbooks: Question about Flashpoint and Rebirth
So, the current surviving Clark Kent/Superman is supposedly pre-Flashpoint Superman, and New 52 Superman is dead right?
But Pre-Flashpoint Wally West coming out of the speed force and restoring New 52 Barry’s memories implies that New 52 Barry is the same as Pre-Flashpoint Barry. Shouldn’t this also mean that New 52 Superman should be the same Superman from Pre-Flashpoint? Is this discrepancy something that’s been explained somewhere? Or we just accept that Barry and Superman transitioned differently and handwave it away. “Comics, everbody!”

I like interesting battle systems. Is there some place that documents what are the best things about the Pokemon battle system for someone who doesn’t play the games?

The building had a nondescript white exterior, with a single grey metal door on the facade and no other hint of what lie within. I tried the knob and a metallic rattle told me it was locked. I frowned, then remembered, then pulled out the mysterious envelope I had found under my door yesterday. I mean, 93 years from now. Well, not 93 years from now for me. Yesterday for me. God, I need to figure out how to think of time again.
I opened the envelope, equally nondescript as the building exterior, and shook it a bit. The small key fell out of it and I almost miss catching it. Harold would have sneered derisively if he was here. “World’s clumsiest time traveller!” he would have said.
Harold. Harry. Good old Harry. The argument had been gone sour last night. Will have gone sour? “Why should we go? We have no idea what this is. No idea!” he had exclaimed, gesturing wildly as he was wont to do.
I inserted the small key into the lock on the doorknob, and sure enough it clicked into place. I turned the knob and stepped inside.
Harry was always the smart one. The prudent one. He had all these rules. “We can’t risk collapsing the universe!” or some such theoretical physics bullshit. He’d be hopping mad if he knew I’d actually gone. Well, he doesn’t need to know, it’s a fucking time machine isn’t it? I’ll be back before he knows it.
Behind the door was a long and dimly lit corridor. The only sound was the subtle whirring of a large ceiling fan overhead. Well, that and the creaking of the metal door as I shut it back into place.
A desk. There was a desk. And behind it, a person. A stocky woman, her hair tied in a bun, wearing spectacles. She looked up from what looked like a sudoku puzzle as I stepped closer. Did they even have sudoku in 1923? I reached into my pocket for the envelope again.
I needn’t have bothered. “Mr. Reyes, isn’t it?” She nodded towards the far end of the hallway. “Take the elevator at the end. There’s only one stop.”
“Er, I was hoping to ask–”

Someone on quora asked:
Would venture capitalists invest money in a 16 boy that can code?
Thousands, maybe millions, of people know how to code. Anyone can have a killer idea. I literally had two of them right before going to bed last night.
Therefore, there is a nontrivial number of people who both know how to code and have at least one killer idea. Many of them will be way be more experienced than a 16-year old kid and will have a better idea of how the world works and will have better reputations and will be more likely to have contacts who can hook them up to VCs.
If you are a 16-year old kid who knows how to code and has a killer idea, the best way to attract a VC’s attention is: implement your idea already. Start to finish, top to bottom. Prototype, iterate, then release it. Gather users, build a following. Be so big you become impossible to ignore.

Someone on quora asked:
You should start with Servlets and JSP as these are the basic building block technologies. For people new to Java web development I always recommend the book Head First Servlets and JSPs, as it builds up from these base technologies and moves towards establishing something similar to an MVC framework like Spring

Someone on quora asked:
As a teacher, how do you grade an hand-written programming exam?
As a computer science teacher, you really shouldn’t give this kind of an exam. It’s in no way reflective of how code is written in the real world
If you must have an exam of this sort, you should focus on making sure the algorithm used in the code is conceptually correct, and disregard any problems in syntax that may fail a compiler. In fact, it’s probably better to have the students submit their answers in some sort of pseudocode or other informal format instead of actual program code, so they know not to focus on syntax

Be soft. Do not let the world make you hard. Do not let pain make you hate. Do not let the bitterness steal your sweetness. Take pride that even though the rest of the world may disagree, you still believe it to be a beautiful place. - Iain Thomas, I Wrote This For You (often wrongly attributed to Kurt Vonnegut)

Few people are really Superman fans, because let’s face it, Superman is boring compared to say, Batman. I wouldn’t claim to be a fan either, though I follow the history because of being generally a comic book guy (I got less than 50% of the answers in a recent Superman round in one of the local quiz nights =/) That being said, I did re-watch the first 2 Donner Superman movies and re-read All-Star Superman and Superman: For Tomorrow ahead of watching the movie.

Reply to 'Finally caved for PS+. But then again, how could you not? ($233 HKD=30 USD) GG SCEH.' on /r/vita:
I’m curious, what are the games in the Asian IGC right now?
-
For instance, there doesn’t appear to be a post on there about uncharted or xcom being free at the moment.
They have a weekly PS store update post which includes the PS+ IGC games for that week, Uncharted 3 and X-Com are covered here: http://blog.us.playstation.com/2013/06/11/playstation-store-update-295/
Also, there is a lot of other crap on there.
That’s only because it’s E3 this week.
Was hoping there might be a PS+ specific feed somewhere.
Don’t know about that, but since the blog is an official source, literally every PS+ free game and sale gets announced there at some point. Between reddit (r/PlaystationPlus) and the blog, I don’t see any chance of “missing out” on any deals.
Edit: I only thought to try this after writing this post, but you can just subscribe to their PS+ tag directly to get the PS+ content only. Try the following URL: http://blog.us.playstation.com/tag/playstation-plus/ (it worked in Google Reader)
