Alright, we agree on that. I still don't agree with your response for blank 3.

No, shit, you're right. I was forgetting to take the mass of the two carts into account and only thinking about velocity.

The force acting upon cart 1 at the point of contact is the momentum of cart 2. Ergo, the direction of the impulse on (not of) cart 1 is the direction of the momentum of cart 2.

The momentum of Cart 2 is to the left, so the impulse on Cart 1 should also be to the left. That's what you're saying, correct?

Yes.

To put it in a less simplistic way: because the mass is constant, the change in momentum can be simplified to (mass * velocity after impact) - (mass * velocity before impact). Since the magnitude of velocity will obviously be lower after impact than before impact, the difference will be negative, which mirrors the direction of the resultant force. This means the direction of the impulse will be to the left.

The relative size of the magnitude between the impulse of (not on) cart 1 (i.e., the force it applies to cart 2) is twice as large as the impulse of (not on) cart 2 (i.e. the force it applies to cart 1).

IPS has low color properties so your more or less getting a display with faded pictures. It was used more in the 80s, and had heavy viewing angle problems.

The viewing angle problems are what IPS corrected. IPS is a screen technology, and it more or less replaced the old TN screen tech because TN had heavy viewing angle problems. IPS is still used in LCD screens today, with the most recent version having been introduced in 2011.

LED lights are the most modern of the 4. They are brighter, last longer, don't give off heat and cost significantly less to run and buy. They can also be seen at almost any angle evenly.

LED LCD TVs using TN screen technology would have the same viewing angle problems as a CCFL LCD TV, because LED LCD is still a thin-film transistor LCD using LEDs as backlighting. It's not self-illuminating, unlike a pure LED TV.

Of course, most LED LCD TVs are probably using some form of IPS screens (including PLS and AHVA), so the viewing angle problems aren't an issue.

pretty much anything other than LEDs aren't used much today. You might see CRTs still being used in hospitals, but they are being thrown out every day in favor of something slimmer and more modern.

But yeah, this is basically correct. The question is kind of stupid. CRT and CCFL aren't really made anymore because they're outdated technology, and IPS and LED LCD aren't incompatible. Most LCD TVs produced today will be LED-backlit with IPS screens.
---

Keeping in mind that I'm no expert on display technology, I would presume that it's because LED LCD has better contrast and color than CRT and CCFL, and would thus have a better picture in an area with lots of natural light.

Because hwa in Old English changed to hwo and, later, who (which was still pronounced /hwo/) in Middle English, then a wh-cluster reduction occurred, causing it to pronounced /ho/. Finally, in Early Modern English, the pronunciation changed to /hu/.

"How", on the other hand, went from a speculated Proto-Germanic hwo, to Old English hu (pronounced exactly like "who" is now) through a similar wh-cluster reduction, until it underwent a vowel shift in Middle English to eventually become "how".

if you had enough money to fund a game, why would you not just do it through kickstarter when they had it on kickstarter

not contact them later like, "hey, i could have did it then, but i didn't, so i am now. here's the money you wanted gg"

Because the kickstarter showed that there was at least some interest in the project. Seeing an actual possibility of ROI instead of just estimating ROI based on prevailing market forces can make investors take interest in riskier projects.

I know that there have been a couple of kickstarter projects that didn't reach their funding goals in time, but still managed to get made because of investors who could see actual consumers who wanted the projects in question.

Kickstarter isn't just a funding tool. It's also a much better gauge of interest than focus groups and prevailing market forces.

And as to why they wouldn't just fund through kickstarter: If you're an actual investor, you can negotiate a lot more control over the project than if you use a crowdfunding platform.

In order for the embezzling version of events to be true, one has to assume the following:
Yura embezzled money from one project to fund another project, stupidly told someone about it, fired that guy for revealing it, lied about both the embezzlement and firing, and falsified documents.

In order for the no embezzling version of events to be true, one has to assume the following:
A guy got fired, ostensibly for sexual harassment, and lied about the company he was being fired from in retaliation. Whether or not he actually sexually harassed someone is irrelevant.

By Occam's Razor, the latter version, requiring fewer assumptions, should be the working hypothesis.

In addition, the embezzlement version of events falls afoul of Hanlon's Razor, by attributing to malice what can be better explained by stupidity.

Ergo, two hypothesis selection methods agree that our working hypothesis should be that no embezzlement occurred, up until the point that further evidence besides hearsay from a single person whose credibility is in question is revealed to disprove this hypothesis.

Which just makes it sound shadier, like they were trying to run down the money like a sleazy law firm inventing new expenses to dwindle a disputed trust they're managing.

See, now you're just desperately clinging to what basically amounts to an unproven conspiracy because you don't want to be wrong. You've been presented with a reasonable, viable, and probable alternative, but you insist on attributing to malice what can more adequately be explained by incompetence.

It's not like long stretches in development hell are unheard of, Zeus. Duke Nukem Forever took 15 years to come out. The Last Guardian took 9 years to come out. Mother 3 took 9 years and four platforms to finally see release. And these were all from major development studios.

They raised TEN TIMES the expected budget yet somehow "ran out of money." That doesn't in the least bit strike you as fishy? It's not like this was their first rodeo. If nobody had ever worked in the business before, it might be understandable if they ran over the original budget by maybe three or four times, but we're talking vets who overran it by TEN times. That should set off even the most credulous person's bullshit sense.

They raised over ten times what they expected to need, and felt obligated to develop something worthy of that massive investment. Unfortunately, without a major publisher breathing down their neck, they allowed development to go on too long (likely from feature creep, general mishandling of the project, etc.) and found themselves without the funds necessary to continue to pay people to develop the game.

With the cost of commercial licenses, salaries for employees, rent, utilities, and all other costs associated with running a goddamn business, it's not hard to blow through slightly over a million dollars in 5 years, especially when you're in development hell and not getting any ROI for all the money you're hemorrhaging.

I know it's a joke topic and all, but I've seriously never understood why it's "the Lord is come" and not "the Lord has come."

Because Early Modern English, similar to modern French and German, uses the verb "to be" as the temporal auxiliary on unaccusative verbs.

The same rule once applied to the past participle of "to go" ("gone"), but the commonality of saying something like "He is gone" outlasted the English language's shift to using "to have" for all past tense temporal auxiliaries, and caused "gone" to became an adjective.
