To The Next President: Get A Aational Cybersecurity Strategy

one question: was it was possible to develop a strategic cyber-attack on the United States?. It was. Today, cyberwarfare clearly is a reality, and cyber-attacks that can threaten life and limb are happening with increasing frequency. With virtually 100% of the American GDP dependent on information technology, it is long past time for a coherent national cyber security strategy. Let?s hope the next Congress and the next president agree.

Dear tech community, as someone who is inexperienced with redstone… via /r/Minecraft


Dear tech community, as someone who is inexperienced with redstone…

Listen, I understand that "quirks" such as quasi-connectivity can allow people to make awesome contraptions such as quarries, flying machines, and unique doors.

And I understand that "quirks" such as translocation are cool for making high speed transporters.

And I understand that the order of operation in redstone can allow for some super-charged piston doors…

But please understand… it makes redstone a nightmare for players like myself to learn, and these "quirks" are just discouraging. Often I see redstone bugs get reported, but Mojang does nothing about it because people from the tech community are fighting to keep these quirks in the game.

I understand a lot of redstone engineers like some bugs because they create cool features like Elytra launchers and sand duplicators, but personally, I think it is a priority that these bugs get fixed regardless because of struggling players like myself.


For example

I recently created a shulker box swapper. You press a button and it cycles between shulkers. I was very excited about it, and built it in my survival world – only to find that it didn't work for some reason. So then I rebuilt the exact same design in my original creative world. It turns out, because of ""quirky"" redstone behavior, my design only works in certain locations, facing a particular direction!

I spent hours working on that, and this bizarre redstone behavior has made it nothing but difficult for me to work with. And yet, the tech community continues to insist that these bugs should be kept in the game because it personally caters to their needs. Please consider us inexperienced players! We don't like the redstone bugs and get easily confused and frustrated with this inconsistent behavior.

In conclusion – tech community, I understand you fight to have these redstone quirks in the game because it allows you to create super cool and interesting stuff… but please think about those who aren't as good as you. These bugs are not beneficial to us.

This is how Minecraft changed my life. via /r/Minecraft


This is how Minecraft changed my life.

I'm sorry if this is a long post, but I have a lot to say. When I was around 10, which was in 2012 my parents were beginning to get divorced, during this time my brother and my dad were very abusive, mean, hurtful, and this affected me a lot. At this time in my life I was depressed, anxious, scared, worried, and I never knew what the next day would bring. At this time I had already had played Minecraft but hadn't bought it, so I decided to buy it. Because of my brothers issues we had family counseling come in every Wednesday night and I was only included occasionally because at the time it wasn't focused around myself but more my brother. During this time I went to our computer room and played Minecraft for hours, I felt that Minecraft was an escape, it was a world where I could live without fear of my brother and dad a world where I could be myself, and most of all a world that wasn't abusive, and frightening. I learned all the tips and tricks and made many beautiful builds. I still play Minecraft at least three times a week to this day. To me Minecraft was an escape from my life troubles it let me forget about my dad and brother. And now that my brother and dad moved out I feel much better, and that's how Minecraft changed my life. Thanks for reading this far!
