11/21/2023 0 Comments Epic vs apple resultsWe respectfully disagree with the court's ruling on the one remaining claim under state law and are considering further review. ![]() The App Store continues to promote competition, drive innovation, and expand opportunity, and we're proud of its profound contributions to both users and developers around the world. For the second time in two years, a federal court has ruled that Apple abides by antitrust laws at the state and federal levels. Today's decision reaffirms Apple's resounding victory in this case, with nine of ten claims having been decided in Apple's favor. In a statement to MacRumors, Apple said that the decision reaffirms its "resounding victory" against Epic Games. Apple also said that it needed time to figure out the "complex and rapidly evolving legal, technological, and economic issues" that the update would cause. Apple will presumably need to make changes to the App Store at some point in the near future to comply with the court's ruling.Īccording to Apple, the proposed App Store changes could "upset the careful balance between developers and customers provided by the App Store," resulting in irreparable harm to Apple and consumers. Instead, in this decision, we faithfully applied existing precedent to the facts."Īpple has been able to put off making App Store updates until the conclusion of the appeals trial, as Apple had appealed the portion of the ruling that did not go in its favor. "Our job as a federal court of appeals, however, is not to resolve that debate - nor could we even attempt to do so. "There is a lively and important debate about the role played in our economy and democracy by online transaction platforms with market power," said the appeals court. This is largely a win for Apple, but the court did also uphold the original court's decision on Apple's anti-steering rules.Īpple was ordered to implement App Store changes that will allow developers to use metadata buttons, links, and other calls to action to direct customers to purchasing mechanisms outside of the App Store, paving the way for developers to implement alternate payment options. Epic Games almost immediately appealed the ruling and claimed that the original court "reached the wrong answer" and "made multiple legal errors." Unfortunately for Epic Games, the appeals court today sided with Apple, upholding the original ruling.Īccording to Bloomberg, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals rejected Epic's claims that the App Store rules violate federal antitrust law by not allowing for third-party app marketplaces. ![]() ![]() ![]() In 2021, the judge overseeing the case sided with Apple, concluding that Apple was not violating antitrust law and was not a monopolist. Epic Games did so with the aim of kicking off a long legal battle, but it has not gone in Epic's favor. Epic Games and Apple have been fighting over Apple's App Store rules since 2020, when Epic Games opted to blatantly violate the guidelines that prevent apps from avoiding the in-app purchase system. ![]() Describe the photoĭescribe the photo is an exercise students can perform in pairs.

Once students become better at discerning certain sounds, they can make up their own phrases and play with a partner. ![]() To play, say a phrase aloud that includes a repeating vowel or consonant sound, such as "I had a plan, so I ran, and I realized that I can become a fan." When students recognize a repeated sound, they are to stand up from their seats and share what they think the sound is. Stand up and listen is a full-group activity through which students listen for a repeated sound in a phrase. This game can help students develop the ability to discern whether they need to follow instructions and, if so, what they need to do. Students are to follow the directions that begin with the phrase and to ignore those that exclude the phrase. In a full-group setting, provide instructions to your students, including some that start with the phrase "Simon says" and others that do not. Simon says is a game that can help students pay attention to a single instructor and listen to their directions. Related: 12 Effective Teaching Habits and Their Benefits 2. Over time, this game can help students pay better attention to detail and communicate effectively. As the last person in the circle, say the final message aloud and compare it to the initial phrase. Then, whisper whatever phrase you choose into a student's ear, and direct them to whisper it to the next student in line, who then passes the message around the circle until it travels back to you.

They are vaporized in the destroy ending and run away in the control and synthesis endings. On Earth, a scene is added with a pair of Alliance marines fighting husks. ![]() BioWare also answered the “Joker turns coward in the final two minutes of the game” criticism by making Joker reluctant to bail on Shepard and showing the Normandy as the last ship to leave the battle. In other words, the conversation with the Star Child is more like the rest of the game’s conversations rather than it talking to you and Shepard going “mmm hmm.”Īs for the endings themselves, there’s a short scene where Hackett orders everyone to fall back before the Crucible fires to explain why the Normandy was so far from the battle in the original ending. The Star Child also has more detailed descriptions of the consequences of each of your choices. When you get up to the Catalyst floor on the Citadel, you have new dialogue with the Star Child (God Child, Guardian AI, whatever you want to call it) that explains more of the back story of the Reapers and their relationship with the Catalyst. So I guess Coats did notice that not everyone was killed by Harbinger. After you’re shot with Harbinger’s death ray, the screen goes black until Major Coats finishes his spiel about everyone being shot by Harbinger and orders a retreat which might eliminate the Major Coats is blind plot hole depending on how much weight you put on his original monologue playing through Shepard regaining consciousness. The problem of how Admiral Hackett knows you’re on the Citadel is solved by the Admiral getting “reports” that someone made it up to the Citadel. They’ve quasi-fixed the plot hole regarding getting your squadmates back onto the Normandy but opened up a new one with their solution. The additions don’t really start until you’ve completed the final mission on Earth and blown up the Reaper guarding the Conduit. What has been added and extended in Extended Cut? ![]() ![]() In fact, the whole post is pretty much only spoilers and is written for people who have played Mass Effect 3. SPOILER ALERT: In analyzing the updated endings from the Extended Cut DLC, the new content will be spoiled. Today, I examine the new scenes that BioWare has added to Mass Effect 3 in the Extended Cut to determine if they have solved the problems most had with the original ending. In order to save face, BioWare spent the next three months scrambling together an alternate ending, called Mass Effect 3: Extended Cut, to fix the problems people had with the final twenty minutes of ME3. Many gamers put hundreds of hours into one Commander Shepard and some had thousands of hours and well over $200 invested in the series overall and were given an inconclusive ending that left gamers confused rather than feeling anything else. The original ending to Mass Effect 3 caused a massive sh*tstorm of unprecedented proportions among gamers. You can check what your current TMS value is by accessing the War Terminal within the War Room on the Normandy, so before you start Act 3 and pass the point of no return you should ensure that you've reached the level you require for your preferred choice from the Mass Effect 3 endings.The immediate aftermath of the release of Mass Effect 3 was an absolute PR disaster for BioWare and EA. At a TMS of 1750 or above you can choose between those two options, and at 2800 or more the third Synthesis ending is also available. The Total Military Strength you've managed to gather during the course of the campaign will directly affect the Mass Effect 3 endings you have available, as with a TMS of less than 1750 you will only have one possible outcome – either the Destruction ending if Shepard destroyed the Reaper Base at the end of Mass Effect 2, or the Control ending ending if Shepard saved the Reaper Base. Make sure you're well equipped with the best Mass Effect 3 weapons and Mass Effect 3 armor to secure that EMS. 11/21/2023 0 Comments Boxer ramen sellwood opening![]() (formerly Mekong Vietnamese Grill), the restaurant tells Eater.

For this reason, the benchmarks are not always an accurate measure of computer. Abstract: While there are many benchmark suites for heterogeneous computing containing collections of benchmarks in various accelerator language extensions, there is none for vendor-independent systematic benchmarking and analysis of heterogeneous algorithms. Rosetta-Bench is a benchmarking framework inspired by Google Benchmark, as well as a benchmark suite containing equivalent benchmarks written in the most common parallel languages (OpenMP, CUDA, HIP, SYCL, \dots) which permits the use of the best supported programming model for each vendor, as well as the comparison of the different languages to each other.Īs a more general benchmarking framework, Rosetta-Bench makes it easy to run custom benchmarks. Just add the benchmark code to run into a folder and Rosetta-Bench will do the rest: Distributed execution, Time measurement on CPU and accelerator, probing, autotuning, statistical analysis, bias mitigation, hypothesis testing, comparison, console and HTML report, and generation of figures. We hope that the availability of this framework will improve the quality of performance evaluations in paper publications. Laboratory benchmarks sometimes fail to reflect real-world product use. 11/21/2023 0 Comments Avex trax logo bunnyThis, like the Motorod logo, would continue to see usage for a while, adding a URL underneath it. The entire thing settles back as the Cutting Edge logo, which has the "ce" letters and " cutting edge" shown in red, and a Avex Group credit in blue below it, fades in and the Earth and light fade out, leaving the rotating letters. Cutting Edge: Contained within a blurry frame, a dim version of the Earth rotates as 2 glass letter of " c" and " e" rotate around as well, and a blue light pings on the right side.THis logo would continued to be used well into the 2nd and 3rd logos as well, albeit with an added URL starting with the 2nd, and an updated blue logo for the 3rd. The same credit from before appears below as well, but in white. Then, the Motorod logo from before, along with an enlarged red ring with a white " m" in it above the logo, appears by a "static" effect. Motorod Records (later version): The camera rotates around a batch of rotating gears, covered in a dark green color along with a white sparks of electricity forming on them.Below it, " BY" in white, and a blue Avex Group logo fades in below. Motorod Records (early version): On a black background, the Motorod logo at the time, being " motorod" in white and the 1st "o" being a simple red ring, fades and zooms in.Certain brands would use different logos from the company, so to not waste space, they'll be described here.A very rare English version exists, where the text above the logo is translated to English.Uniquely, the logo is actually stacked and is in 2D, the Avex portion of the text is in white, and the "VELFARRE" text is the location's logo. Avex Dance Net '96: The text now reads " avex dance net '96" in the corporate font, with the logo on top and the info "in VELFARRE AUG.Avex Rave '94: The text now reads " avex rave '94", has a stylized Japanese slogan on top, and the information "AUG.For their events, the logo is still and have slightly different variants to them.Later on, the company's URL at the time fades in below.Also, below the logo, a 10th anniversary logo appears below (described in the 2nd logo) and the tagline's in English. The text now reads the aforementioned name, and also shines like the regular version. In 1998, the logo was brought back briefly to use as the logo for Avex Group.An " avex globe" variant has been discovered, where the logo is hastily plastered over the original (the waving text still reads "avex trax"), has a much flatter appearance, and doesn't shine.The logo is still other than rapid shining on the logo. An extremely rare early variant of the logo has it in blue on a white background.A still version with the print logo on a black background is seen on some Playstation games featuring their music.The background objects then fade out as the text "90'S DANCE MUSICをクリエイトする" ("CREATING 90'S DANCE MUSIC" in English) appears above it and the logo shines with a dark grey light. The waving thing then condenses into the center of the screen, revealing itself to be the 3D silver text " avex trax" in a font that resembles Triplex Serif and a oval containing another " a" as a cote-out. ![]() ![]() In the foreground, a silver string wildly bounces all over the screen, spanning across the entire screen (like a vectorscope), right before suddenly turning into a liquid-like mass of silver waving about.

The total number of neutrons in the nucleus of an atom is called the neutron number of the atom and is given the symbol N. Mass numbers of typical isotopes of Silicon are 28 29 30. Neutron Number and Mass Number of Silicon This fact has key implications for the building up of the periodic table of elements. The ordering of the electrons in the ground state of multielectron atoms, starts with the lowest energy state (ground state) and moves progressively from there up the energy scale until each of the atom’s electrons has been assigned a unique set of quantum numbers. ![]() It is the Pauli exclusion principle that requires the electrons in an atom to occupy different energy levels instead of them all condensing in the ground state. In the periodic table, the elements are listed in order of increasing atomic number Z. The number of electrons in each element’s electron shells, particularly the outermost valence shell, is the primary factor in determining its chemical bonding behavior. The configuration of these electrons follows from the principles of quantum mechanics. The chemical properties of the atom are determined by the number of protons, in fact, by number and arrangement of electrons. See also: Atomic Number – Does it conserve in a nuclear reaction? Atomic Number and Chemical PropertiesĮvery solid, liquid, gas, and plasma is composed of neutral or ionized atoms. It is the electrons that are responsible for the chemical bavavior of atoms, and which identify the various chemical elements. In a neutral atom there are as many electrons as protons moving about nucleus. The total electrical charge of the nucleus is therefore +Ze, where e (elementary charge) equals to 1,602 x 10 -19 coulombs. Total number of protons in the nucleus is called the atomic number of the atom and is given the symbol Z. The nucleus is composed of protons and neutrons. The atom consist of a small but massive nucleus surrounded by a cloud of rapidly moving electrons. Silicon is a chemical element with atomic number 14 which means there are 14 protons and 14 electrons in the atomic structure.

Loot swapping is easy, and enemies in Diablo 4 drop loot individually for each player, too – squabbles are a thing of the past. This means that the game’s sizable open world won’t prove a logistical obstacle when it comes to your dreams of multiplayer carnage. What’s more, you can seamlessly teleport to allies directly by using the Town Portal system. Enemies scale to each player on an individual basis, meaning that high-level characters can adventure alongside low-level allies and still receive challenges and gear proportionate to their level.

You are given a task and must complete it in any way you see fit but the most genius thing about Streets of Rogue is that you have to live with those decisions. You decide to break a window to distract a guard but it instead alarms everyone around meaning you can’t poison the air system. You steal from a bin, maybe someone reports that and security becomes higher in the area making your main mission a little harder. Like Noita above it, Streets of Rogue has a rather wonderful responsiveness to each action. This being said, what makes Streets of Rogue so good is the way it blends so many systems together so efficiently. Its name being a witty portmanteau of Streets of Rage and Rogue gives a surprisingly ok expression of what exactly Streets of Rogue gives you: the opportunity to punch bad guys whilst also giving you the freedom of a large top-down map. 11/21/2023 0 Comments Metal roofing near me![]() He showed up on time and gave me a fair price.
