Ah yes, very interesting results when the “experiment” was rigged:

The participants in the experiment, who were male college students, didn’t just organically become abusive guards, reporter Ben Blum wrote in Medium.

tb_ , 1 month ago to games in Dev of cancelled Life By You game shares some information, including just two weeks notice of cancellation after being given the thumbs-up a few weeks prior

Some additional info:

The International Olympic Committee agreed this week to reassign credit for Lloyd Hildebrand’s silver medal in the men’s cycling 25 km race at the 1900 Olympics from Britain to France.

[…]

A French historian recently raised Hildebrand’s case to the International Olympic Committee, saying the athlete lived nearly his entire life in France and was closely tied to a sports club there – and not to one in Britain.

Science is very much an art in and of itself; breaking ground and figuring out how to set up a new process/experiment doesn’t come from thin air.

Yeah. And consider the verification process games have to go through on consoles, probably easier to do it all in one big update.

That was very much the case for early “democracy” in Europe as well.

Samsung even used to have a Tizen alternative to Android on smartphones way back when.

Android also has “Android TV”. I suppose “Wear OS” is more unique.
