After each race, the game would show your improvements in grip, drift and speed style and your aim is to get your overall performance to 100% to obtain the best car in the game: the BMW M3 GT2 With these points you can unlock special parts such as Tires, additional NOS Shots, Tuned Engine and Bodykit. Loyalty Points are gained by using the same car in the races and gives you points for every win with that car. This compensates to the removed tuning system. What’s in the game is the Loyalty Pointing system. ![]() So the GT-R doesn’t grip very well? Come on….įor tuning part, there isn’t any. That’s why the cars are analyzed for Speed, Drifting and Grip. Different challenges mean different types of cars to use. World Tour is basically your “Career mode” and you’ll have to go through a series of races defeating “Race Kings” and along with it, you’ll be able to unlock more cars. There are two modes of playing: Quick Race and World Tour. ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS PRESS THE ACCELERATOR AND STEER. Let me get straight to the point: There’s no tuning whatsoever. When they said that the game would be a simulation of professional racing, the original NFS identity of arcade racing remained in the PSP. However in the PSP platform, that style did not take effect. There are a lot of expectations due to their change of style. This title is the greatest proof, so far, that NFS is starting to fail in the PSP platform. aaand I think it is, though not for the PSP. Knowing that NFS “shifted” to realistic simulation of professional racing, this upcoming title should be impressive and worth waiting.

3/30/2023 0 Comments Night call podcast![]() Everything that the state had that I know about. Everything else that a person could reasonably add to the ‘Adnan is guilty’ side of the scale. Today, I’m just going to lay out the rest. Over the past few weeks, I’ve been holding up bits of evidence here and there that look bad for Adnan. So, the prints weren’t exactly conclusive. Plus, thirteen other, unidentified prints turned up on and in the map book. His palm print was only on the back cover of the book. And that page didn’t have Adnan’s prints on it. In fact, it showed their whole neighborhood, the school, the malls, probably ninety percent of where they most often drove. The ripped out page showed a whole lot more than just Leakin Park. ![]() The defense argued, ‘well, you can’t put a timestamp on fingerprints, they could’ve been six week-old fingerprints or six month-old fingerprints, there’s no way to tell.’ And Adnan had ridden in and driven Hae’s car many times, all their friends said so. At trial they pointed out that it was the page that showed Leakin Park. On the back cover was a partial print of Adnan’s left palm. It was one of those big map books you buy at a gas station, police found it in the backseat of Hae’s car. The most incriminating piece of physical evidence against Adnan Syed was a fingerprint, or rather, a palm print.

Sarah Koenig Isn’t that sort of tantamount to saying ‘I think Jay’s telling the truth?’ Dana Chivvis I’m saying I think the cell phone was in Leakin Park.

Neither network has had an easy time attracting third parties to come in and offer anything beyond Internet access. "Fate was sort of sealed for them," admits Teresa Mastrangelo, founder and principal analyst of. To be fair, both UTOPIA and iProvo are encumbered by a state law in Utah that prohibits municipalities from operating as retail providers of service, and this is, by all accounts, a formidable obstacle. So what went wrong, and what, if anything, can municipalities learn from these early adopters? ![]() As a result, UTOPIA has been forced to refinance, and the iProvo Network is now in the hands of a private provider. Both have struggled to secure - and retain - service providers. But thus far, it hasn't worked out as planned. Subscribers would benefit from the resultant competition, they reasoned. iProvo and the UTOPIA consortium built their networks with the goal of enticing multiple service providers to come in and offer services. Much like cities and towns build roads and then open those roads to private enterprises - taxi companies, shuttle buses, garbage collectors, etc. On paper, it sounds like a solid premise. In both cases, municipalities financed and built fiber networks, then opened them to third-party providers of voice, video, and data services. The recent sale of iProvo to private operator Broadweave Networks (and the well-documented financial woes of the Utah Telecommunications Open Infrastructure Agency (UTOPIA) have led many to question the viability of the wholesale open access network model in the U.S. 3/29/2023 0 Comments Flick knifeManufacturers have done an excellent job of finding ways of making modern switchblades that slip through the loopholes in the laws, but even so, you can find yourself in a mess of legal trouble if you are caught carrying, buying, selling, importing, handling, or looking too closely at an automatic knife. Since then, it’s been difficult to get automatic knives, which are actually just like any other blade, except a little more efficient. The same way that marijuana, motorcycles, tattoos, and free love became part of the agenda of politicians, so too did automatic knives get labeled as “Evil” by untrustworthy government officials who needed something to rally against. That’s when the government stuck its grubby little fingers into the pie and passed the Switchblade Knife Act of 1958. This was a Hollywood fabrication that eventually led to many young greaser punks packing the knives around. ![]() ![]() Soon after, moving pictures of the time started depicting street toughs carrying these blades. ![]() These spring-assisted knives had a small following in Europe, which was then brought over to the United States after WWII when brave, Nazi-killing soldiers saw these snap-open knives during their time fighting in the European theatre and adopted them for home use. Switchblades, which are now better known by the name “Automatic Knives” have a history that goes back hundreds of years, with the earliest models appearing in France and Italy – which is why they are often known by the name “Italian Stilettos” – back in the 1700’s. 3/29/2023 0 Comments Luxand blink pro 2.4 download![]() Protect, hide, delete proof, write proof and block access your data.Įasily lock any programs installed on your local computer.

But ultimately, I never felt like I got the headset or the focus to a spot where both were comfortable.īut let’s face it for a business use case, it’s unlikely staff or consumers will be wearing the headset for hours on end - not like a gamer might with the HTC Vive Pro 2, PSVR or Valve Index. Or perhaps it’s a by-product of having a battery in the back of the headband. ![]() Perhaps it’s because the front visor doesn’t flick up like it does in the Vive Pro 2, meaning its rigid position doesn’t let it nuzzle into your face shape as elegantly. I felt like I needed the IPD (interpupillary distance) right in close, which put pressure on my nose, and I was constantly adjusting the back, trying to find its sweet spot. ![]() There’s just something slightly off about it. This despite the fact I found the Vive Pro 2 to be quite comfortable and well balanced, even with a thick cable dangling from its rear. Try as I might, I couldn’t quite get the Vive Focus 3 to sit comfortably on my head. But they’re critical for businesses, whereas they are meaningless to gamers and general consumers. These added extras aren’t a bonus they’re accounted for in the price you pay. Data is kept in-ecosystem, and it is encrypted and tracked on the headset to ensure sensitive information is kept close to the company’s chest. And you can, of course, side-load your own company apps into the VR headset.įor your IT crew, there’s compatibility with the Android Enterprise MDM, as well as access to a device management system that allows them to manage, control and track all the Focus 3 headsets across an organization. You also get two free years of the VIVE Enterprise Business Warranty & Service (usually $250). However, the Vive Business App Store - which is separate from the VivePort store we see with the Pro 2 - has six categories of curated apps to peruse. Vive Sync is arguably the biggest of the bunch. With the purchase of a Focus 3, a company gets free access to 6 months of the XR Suite, which is effectively a portal to a host of apps that are designed to facilitate better learning, productivity, communication and training within a team. And businesses, especially IT departments, will be looking for more than what you get from the best VR headsets for gaming. Yes, it has scope to cross over into the consumer space, but that’s not what it is for. I can’t understate how important it is to look at the Vive Focus 3 through the lens of a business. Audio is supplied by two dual-driver directional speakers, joined by dual microphones with echo cancellation.Īll this and it only weighs around 1.7 pounds - just 0.5 more than the Oculus Quest 2. You get your six degrees of freedom with the controller, helped along by four in-built tracking cameras, a G-sensor, gyroscope and proximity sensor. There’s Bluetooth 5.2 too, but it kind of sucks. There’s also 8GB of RAM, 128GB or storage space, the ability to upgrade said storage to 2TB via a microSD card and 5G-ready Wi-Fi 6. Under the hood, we’ve got a Qualcomm Snapdragon XR2 chipset, which is exactly what you’d hope for, given it’s the only mobile chipset optimized for spatial computing. The 120-degree field of view is also a boon, and while the 90Hz refresh rate is down on the Pro 2’s 120Hz, the latter is directed at gamers and the Focus 3 is not. It’s a 260% boost in pixels over the Focus 2 and a sizable leap over the Oculus Quest 2’s 1832×1970 lens. Pardon me spewing in my own mouth with that one, as it’s still impressive. ![]() On paper, the Focus 3 ticks a lot of boxes.Įach lens comes in at 2448×2448 pixels per eye or 2.5K, making for a “5K” headset if you want to look at it from a marketer’s perspective. The HTC Vive Focus 3 doesn’t follow in the footsteps of the premium Vive Pro 2, but the two VR headsets have walked down the same quality tree hand in hand. Let’s dive in for a closer look and discuss: Is the HTC Vive Focus 3 any good? If you and your company want to leverage VR on either the forward-facing consumer end, or internally for training, collaboration, design and conferencing, then the Vive Focus 3 is a confident step toward the future. While it’s not without its failings, the grander back-end ecosystem it offers makes up for it. A premium high-end headset with a price to match, it looks to take the best of what the HTC Vive Pro 2 offers but delivers with the flexibility and ease of use of the Oculus Quest 2. If you’re looking for the best enterprise VR headset for businesses big and small, the HTC Vive Focus 3 is a winner. 3/29/2023 0 Comments Adam smith invisible handI will attempt in vain to summarize the possible influences that formed three major concepts which exist in his later and final work, the Wealth of Nations, namely the appropriation of Self-Interest, Division of Labor, and the “The Invisible Hand”, thereby showing the linear deduction of each, and how that logic reflects in Adam Smith’s moral philosophy. Rather than walk you through a summary of his life, I instead wanted to treat you to three of his most popular ideas, the influences that helped him form them, and provide possible context for each. He is called the “father of modern economics” and “the creator of capitalism”. This season we have been covering individuals who have had a direct effect on history, in a positive or negative way. In lieu of the story from history this week, I want to give you some context for today’s episode. ― Adam Smith, An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations He naturally loses, therefore, the habit of such exertion, and generally becomes as stupid and ignorant as it is possible for a human creature to become. That was why he was so effective in keeping alive, in the early days, and then spreading the basic idea that human freedom required private property, free competition, and severely limited government.“The man whose whole life is spent in performing a few simple operations, of which the effects are perhaps always the same, or very nearly the same, has no occasion to exert his understanding or to exercise his invention in finding out expedients for removing difficulties which never occur. Whatever the pressure, he stuck to his guns, refusing to compromise his principles. ![]() That was his basic credo and one that he stuck to consistently during his long period of service to the public-not public service in the sense of government service. ![]() He was simply trying to enhance individuals' understanding of themselves and of the system they live in. As in the rest of his work, he was not trying to tell people what to do or how to conduct themselves. “I, Pencil” is a typical Leonard Read product: imaginative, simple yet subtle, breathing the love of freedom that imbued everything Leonard wrote or did. How did it happen? Adam Smith gave us the answer two hundred years ago.” These people live in many lands, speak different languages, practice different religions, may even hate one another-yet none of these differences prevented them from cooperating to produce a pencil. No military police enforced the orders that were not given. No one sitting in a central office gave orders to these thousands of people. “It is even more astounding that the pencil was ever produced. Every time we go to the store and buy a pencil, we are exchanging a little bit of our services for the infinitesimal amount of services that each of the thousands contributed toward producing the pencil. Each saw his work as a way to get the goods and services he wanted-goods and services we produced in order to get the pencil we wanted. Some among them never saw a pencil and would not know what it is for. “None of the thousands of persons involved in producing the pencil performed his task because he wanted a pencil. We summarized the story and then went on to say: We used Leonard's story in our television show, “Free to Choose,” and in the accompanying book of the same title to illustrate “the power of the market” (the title of both the first segment of the TV show and of chapter one of the book). I know of no other piece of literature that so succinctly, persuasively, and effectively illustrates the meaning of both Adam Smith's invisible hand-the possibility of cooperation without coercion-and Friedrich Hayek's emphasis on the importance of dispersed knowledge and the role of the price system in communicating information that “will make the individuals do the desirable things without anyone having to tell them what to do.” Leonard Read's delightful story, “I, Pencil,” has become a classic, and deservedly so.

The most exciting game of the day came in the Pool C opener between Mexico and Colombia. While Masataka Yoshida and Shohei Ohtani were once again the stars at the plate for Japan, the real story of the game was 21-year-old pitching sensation Rōki Sasaki, who struck out eight batters in just 3.2 innings of work. Japan continued its hot streak, scoring double-digit runs for a second consecutive game in its 10-2 win over the Czech Republic. Taipei has now won two games in a row after losing its debut match.
