good fun. Glad my office keeps the price of coffee the same :P


If the rest of the economy was experiencing hyper inflation as seen in the game, it would extend into your coffee too ;)


I don't frequently find myself needing that level of knowledge


same situation and result with me


it's quite incredible how much has come out of this glitch. There are many servers up on CS:GO dedicated to bhopping, as well as whole games built around it.


This reminds me of Gunz, an early aughts PvP game whose dedicated community formed itself around several of the games broken mechanics and bugs. To play Gunz you basically have to master glitches, it really could have its own article dedicated to it



I ctrl'ed F this page looking for just this. I loved Gunz, the different style's that existed were insane! K-Style was most prominent, but there were others like D-Style, Environment Style, and so on.


yeah. i remember when they finally nerfed it (cs 1.5 era?) so that it reset your speed to the max speed when you touched the ground... some people were pissed. in half life deathmatch, they actually made a pro-mod (adrenaline gamer) to put it back in https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=78376...


if someone looked over your shoulder and saw you browsing HN they could infer things too


Yet, they choose to surf to HN.

They're not choosing to have targeted ads that share their info around the web and cause someone over their shoulder to infer things about them.

That's the point -- we should have that choice. And the default should be "no".


I understand the opt-in rather than opt-out, but does disabling Ads Personalization [1] not do what you're asking?

[1]: https://adssettings.google.com/authenticated?hl=en


No, a Google account shouldn’t be required.


Why not? How else would Google know who not to track? It's not like they can identify you and remember that preference without a Google account...


Yes, that's why targeted ads shouldn't be a thing unless it's opt-in (not necessarily my opinion but it seems to be the point the parent was making). At that point, to opt-in you can create a google account. Currently though, Google will attempt targeted ads on people without a Google account by trying to identify and track them through other means.

Ideally you would have site-specific or content-specific ads normally and personalized ads if you created an account and chose to opt-in.


My children tease me about "being a hacker", by which they mean unlawfully breaching security of internet systems, because they've seen me reading "hacker news".


Yeah, but HN is not shown as part of every website out there.


The problem is if the person looking over your shoulder has power over you.


same for this genre called "classical", whatever that is.


agreed. Half of the stuff I was taught was years out of date, and while interesting from a historical perspective, was not useful to me other than during the exam. Waste of time and money really.


depends on the density - if both monitors are the same physical size, there should be no difference.
