CPUC: SDG&E Must Pay Uninsured Costs for 2007 Wildfires
The CPUC said Thursday that SDG&E did not reasonably manage and operate its facilities linked to the wildfires
By R. Stickney and NBC 7 Staff Reports
Published Nov 30, 2017 at 8:57 AM | Updated at 10:50 PM PST on Nov 30, 2017
CPUC Denies SDG&E's Request for Wildfire Costs
//www.nbcsandiego.com/on-air/as-seen-on/CPUC-Denies-SDG_E_s-Request-for-Wildfire-Costs_San-Diego-461189963.html
The California Public Utilities Commission denied a request by the utility company to recover $379 million in the 2007 wildfires that destroyed more than 1,300 homes in San Diego. NBC 7's Artie Ojeda has more. (Published Thursday, Nov. 30, 2017)
The California Public Utilities Commission decided San Diego Gas & Electric cannot charge ratepayers for $379 million in uninsured costs from three 2007 fires ignited by the utility's equipment.
The utility company wanted to pass on the costs of those fires onto its customers.
It was seen as a victory for ratepayers because if CPUC had ruled in favor of the request, they would have been on the hook for $1.67 a month over six years
On September 25, 2015, SDG&E filed an application seeking CPUC approval to recover $379 million, which represents a portion of the $2.4 billion in costs and legal fees incurred by SDG&E to resolve third-party damage claims arising from the Witch, Guejito, and Rice Wildfires, according to a press release issued by the commission.
SDG&E Pushes to Have Customers Pay Fire Costs from 2007
NBC 7's Audra Stafford reports on the efforts of San Diego's Gas and Electric (SDG&E) to pass costs from wildfires that occurred in 2007 onto customers.
(Published Thursday, Sept. 28, 2017)
"While it may be tempting for people who don't know a lot about this case to think your facilities were involved in these fires, you must have done something wrong--in fact, all three fires occurred because of circumstances beyond our control," Chris Lyons, Senior Counsel for SDG&E told NBC 7 earlier this year.
However, the commission found that SDG&E did not reasonably operate its facilities linked to the wildfires, which thereby prohibits the utility from recovering those costs in rates.
The CPUC evaluated whether SDG&E's operation, engineering, and management of its facilities involved in the ignition of the wildfires was reasonable.

SDG&E Senior Vice President Lee Schavrien said he strongly disagrees with the decision.
"The CPUC got it wrong. The 2007 wildfires were a natural disaster fueled by extreme conditions including the worst Santa Ana wind event this region has ever seen, combined with high heat, low humidity and hurricane-force winds as high as 92 mph," Schavrien said in a statement.
"We will vigorously pursue all available avenues to overturn this decision."

Although SDG&E has not admitted any liability in the wildfires, the company has paid more than $2 billion in settlements and other costs.
The CPUC had postponed the vote on the issue four times before Thursday's meeting.
In 2007, the Witch, Guejito and Rice fires destroyed more than 1,300 homes in the county and killed two people.

San Diego County Supervisor Dianne Jacob said state regulators did the right thing.
"SDG&E's bid to stick ratepayers with the bill was outrageous and an insult to all those affected by the 2007 disaster. Folks died in these fires and many lost their homes," she said. "Today's decision does not change that, but brings some justice against a utility that cares more about shareholder profits than public safety."
SDG&E says the Witch Fire was caused by unprecedented winds and the Guejito Fire was started by a branch that fell and knocked down a power line. The Rice Fire was due to a third-party facility that contacted their lines.

"SDG&E strongly disagrees with today's decision. The CPUC got it wrong. The 2007 wildfires were a natural disaster fueled by extreme conditions including the worst Santa Ana wind event this region has ever seen, combined with high heat, low humidity and hurricane-force winds as high as 92 mph. Experts from Cal Fire and the County Office of Emergency Services described the weather as 'unprecedented [in] magnitude,' and 'wind conditions being the worst they had ever seen in recent memory.'
"This decision is not supported by the evidence and is not consistent with the determination made by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC). FERC conducted its own inquiry and found SDG&E acted reasonably and approved the FERC-jurisdictional portion of the wildfire cost request. We find it difficult to understand how federal regulators understood the law and applied it appropriately, while the CPUC adopted a flawed interpretation.

"The decision wrongly concludes that the applicability of inverse condemnation by California courts to privately owned public utilities is irrelevant. Under inverse condemnation, a utility is strictly liable, regardless of fault or foreseeability, if its facilities are involved in an ignition. Courts apply inverse condemnation to utilities on the grounds that utilities can spread the costs through rates, but this decision has failed to recognize or acknowledge the role inverse condemnation played in the incurrence of the costs and has failed to allow SDG&E to spread the costs as the courts envisioned.


A warrant search turned up with a stockpile of weapons, including illegal assault rifles with large capacity magazines, in the Hudson Valley.
State Police from Cortlandt and Wappinger executed a search warrant at Max Way in the village of Fishkill on Friday, Feb. 16 pursuant to a grand larceny investigation regarding 44-year-old Kim Amato of Poughkeepsie.

Strack was charged with three counts of criminal possession of a weapon in the third degree, all class D felonies, as well as three counts each of criminal possession of a weapon in the fourth degree, and possession of a large capacity ammunition feed device, all Class A misdemeanors. Investigators from the Cortlandt barracks also arrested Amato and charged her with grand larceny in the fourth degree, a Class E felony.

It is normally possible to present process of factoring as being the easy accessibility to fiscal setting up, or as its part. The immediacy, importance and problematics of financial arranging and make yourself at Ukrainian enterprises is definitely repeatedly searched and identified by a large number of researchers, these kinds of as U. G. Belaya, I. A. Blank, G. A. Semenov. The keynote of ideas uniting all, is specifying on significance of perspective or strategic preparation and cost management and accordance of these kinds of plans with info of the quick periods.
However , in each of our point of view and so cool at present organizing managing and organizing in the "coherence" moment with data of temporary organizing has not under by itself so important school uniform methodological foundation because cost management for the purpose of organisations of nonstate sector of economy is not really obligatory. And the nonstate sector of economics of Ukraine, for model, is about 50 %. Thus from total of employees of the state sector which may come to be engaged in absolutely required having a budget, regarding to one of members from the National returns on securities and currency markets of Ukraine, only a small portion possess required qualification. In that case how many can end up being the workers qualified inside the matter for enterprises just where financial thinking about and factoring is "just" a creation need, instead of an indispensable condition.
Thus, in spite of wide described problematics of economic planning, the factor of qualified employees which, in its turn, must start not with approach, although via having a budget techniques was deserted. The accurately made short-term budgets based upon data, which is often expected with a high possibility, will allow an enterprise to succeed in the purpose, that it was developed, – getting profit. Tactical or perhaps point of view finances are in most situations the expenditure plans aimed on improvement of activity of an enterprise, taking into consideration specifics, absolutely.
Such microbudgeting, calculated on day, week, decade features every probability to give ordinary in business working of an enterprise. Not after we observed a predicament when within a pursuit of organization file format for the purpose of making the most of revenue expenditure limitations to the detriment of operational budgets were inflated to such a great scope that the enterprise was compelled to stop periodically its activity and voluntary-compulsorily to give workers found in free of charge holidays. And, of course, the angle budget, after the results of any year, wasn't carried out.
The alternatives of make yourself identified by many people creators of these studies regardless of "from best to bottom" or "from bottom to top" refuses to experience any kind of benefit in the event wallets derive from data which will depend on a person factor or, especially, about macroeconomic signals. We would not argue that expense activity of a great enterprise isn't a necessary component of it's work, but perspective planning noesn't need to end up being thought of as of paramount importance, because at any accessibility to succession of events it is subject to the current treatment, which will at all times be based upon even more important thinking about – initial one. After all for any person can be not a magic formula that one particular of the very most essential factors of successful do the job of any enterprise is without question timeliness of receipt of funds, instead of their range. The cost management purpose likewise consists in it – in up time to provide an organization with necessary resources. And on big period periods that is more similar to questioning upon a coffee thick, than to correct planning.
Several charging necessary to remember that at any stage in the work virtually any venture need to be financially secure and have ample level of liquidity. That is along with drawing up of pockets it is certainly necessary to compute constantly a financial state of an enterprise. Tactics of a great report of a financial condition of an organization are also widely shined simply by experts out of a large number of countries, but very likely problematics of cost management, too little focus has to initial examination. The widest selection of economical signals, out of which you ought to choose the particular main types to avoid data duplication, it will be easy and it is simply needed to analyze, having by interim cash strategy all of the options for this purpose.
Thus, quick viewing your spending habits is definitely the exceptional application pertaining to supervision of functioning activities of the venture, allowing for in due time to clearly define desires of an venture for these types of or perhaps some of those methods that within a combination with short-term monetary analysis will offer a full picture of function of an organization and definitely will allow to make correct management decisions, including point of view ones.

Diaby plays first game for over 13 months in Arsenal Under-21 defeat
By Stephen Darwin
The France midfielder featured for the first 45 minutes of the defeat to Chelsea Under-21s and could now be in contention to feature for the first-team before the end of the season
Abou Diaby returned to action for the first time in over a year as he featured for 45 minutes in Arsenal Under-21s' defeat to Chelsea Under-21s.
The 27-year-old's last appearance prior to Tuesday's clash in the Under-21 league was against Swansea City back in March 2013, where he suffered knee ligament damage.
ARSENAL LATEST
6/1 Arsenal are 6/1 with Paddy Power to beat Newcastle 2-0 in their next fixture
Diaby returned on Tuesday night, however, playing the first half of the fixture against Chelsea Under-21s, where goals from Lewis Baker and John Swift claimed a 2-1 win for the Blues.
He was replaced at half-time of the meeting at Emirates Stadium and having seemingly come through 45 minutes of action unscathed, manager Arsene Wenger has suggested he could be close to a first-team return.
When asked if Diaby could still play a part for the Gunners before the end of the season, Wenger told the club's official website: "Yes of course, it depends how well he comes out of the game [against Chelsea Under-21s].
"He hasn't played for a year but physically he is ready to play, completely. It is now just decision-making, getting used to challenges again. He needs a game.
"Everybody [counted him out] but he is fit and ready."
Diaby has made just a handful of appearances for the Gunners over the last couple of years but is targeting a shock late charge for the France squad for the 2014 World Cup.

Archer now can be found in the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol ACHR. According to Brett Adcock, co-founder and co-CEO of Archer, "Completing our go-public transaction and having Archer trade on the New York Stock Exchange is a huge milestone for our business. This is the culmination of a lot of hard work by the great team we have at Archer, but it is also the beginning of the next phase of our development and growth."
The merger between Atlas Crest and Archer is expected to generate $857.6 million in gross proceeds, including $600 million from a private investment in public equity (PIPE) deal. According to Adam Goldstein, co-founder and co-CEO of Archer, "We are working to build an urban air mobility network that can change the way people travel in and around cities forever. We believe we have the team, the technology and the strategic partners to make our vision a reality."

"We are pleased to have reached this important milestone in closing our transaction with Archer," said Michael Spellacy, CEO of Atlas Crest, in a statement. "With the proceeds from this transaction, Archer is entering the public markets from a position of financial and competitive strength to accomplish their mission of revolutionizing the future of urban transportation."
Archer Aviation currently has a two-seat demonstrator of their planned eVTOL aircraft, called the Maker, which is expected to begin flight testing by the end of 2021. The aircraft features a range of 52 nautical miles (60 statute miles) and a cruise speed of 130 knots (150 mph), with a total weight of 1,508 kg (3,335 lbs). The eVTOL's noise level is said to be 45 dBA, which Archer describes as "inaudible while flying overhead." Its electric motors will be powered by six independent lithium-ion battery packs with a total capacity of 75 kWh and maximum power of 672 kw.
Why it's important: Archer Aviation is now the third air taxi developer to start public trading since August—the second just this week—after successfully completing this merger. "We founded Archer to address the environmental and societal issues caused by road transportation and urban overloading," said Goldstein. "Through our all-electric aircraft, we are striving to curb carbon emissions, decrease traffic, and create the transportation networks of the future."

Secret Is Taking Its Anonymous Networking App To Schools, Workplaces With New "Secret Dens" Feature
By Sarah Perez
Anonymous social networking app Secret, a popular watercooler for Silicon Valley gossip, and now, much more thanks to recent expansions, has just announced a new feature called "Secret Dens," which is focused on anonymous sharing in the workplace or in school.
The idea, explains the company via blog post, is to "share anything you're thinking —kept within the walls of your workplace." In other words, these internal Secrets wouldn't ever spread more broadly to the wider Secret network.
The feature is still in private beta, and has been tested at Secret's headquarters where the now 16-person team has been sharing inside jokes, updates and more over the past month. Now, they say, the pilot project is beginning to roll out to a few other companies for now, but the eventual goal is to make "Secret Dens" available to more companies, universities, and organizations in the future.
The move comes at time when other anonymous networking apps have taken off with the same demographic that Secret itself is targeting, most notably Whisper and YikYak, the latter which faced a surge of growth, but also large-scale cyberbullying thanks to its pickup in schools.
This is an interesting move for Secret, as its two top competitors here have shown to place a priority on moderation and reporting features in order to combat bullying as well as potentially "triggering" messages which could provoke some users to engage in self-harm. In Whisper, for example, the community heavily moderates posts and points some more afflicted users to its related non-profit arm, YourVoice, which reaches out to those who may be on the edge of suicide, for instance.
Meanwhile, though YikYak perhaps naively didn't think through the potential ramifications of an anonymous app aimed at a younger crowd, it quickly stepped in after news of its cyberbullying problem became national news to shut down its app from even working while on school grounds. It did this by implementing a series of geo-fences which now cover the majority of public schools across the U.S.
Secret, on the other hand, has struggled with bullying in its early days, allowing public figures in the tech industry (not necessarily "famous" people on worldwide scale) to be ruthlessly mocked for hours or days before the offending comments were removed, if they even were.
Unless Secret has made significant improvements to its anti-bullying and reporting features in recent days, it may be too soon to introduce this in school zones, even if they are limited to the university level. One could even argue that younger users shouldn't really be the target market for these kinds of apps at all, in fact.
And if Secret-sharing in the workplace is introduced, it also sets up participating companies for a host of HR complaints in the future if the posts become negative or harass individual by name.
In a short Q&A at the bottom of today's post about the private pilot program, Secret didn't specify how it intends to handle these issues within Secret Dens.

How to Set Up a Cheap Burner Phone
BY MICAH LEE THE INTERCEPT If you're taking to the streets to demand justice for the victims of police brutality and homicide, you may want to leave your phone at home. No matter how peaceful your behavior, you are at risk of getting arrested or assaulted by police. Cops might confiscate your phone and search it regardless of whether or not they're legally allowed to, or they might try to break it, especially if it contains photos or video of their violent or illegal actions. At the same time, it's a good idea to bring a phone to a protest so you can record what's happening and get the message out on social media. Filming police is completely legal and within your rights, and it's one of the few tools citizens have against police brutality.
Jitsi Meet, an open source Zoom alternative
BY JACK MORSE MASHABLE So you're sick of Zoom. Maybe it's the privacy issues, the security issues, or just the whole misrepresenting its encryption thing. Regardless of the specific reason, you know that there has to be a better video-conferencing tool out there, and you're determined to find it. Enter Jitsi Meet. Much like Zoom, the free and open-source video-chat tool is easy to use and requires little-to-no onboarding. It's also encrypted, and doesn't sell your data. As an added bonus, you don't need an account and you don't need to download anything to start or join a meeting.

Apple Has A Vladimir Putin Problem
BY JOSH NADEAU FAST COMPANY In November 2019, Russian parliament passed what's become known as the "law against Apple." The legislation will require all smartphone devices to preload a host of applications that may provide the Russian government with a glut of information about its citizens, including their location, finances, and private communications. Apple typically forbids the preloading of third-party apps onto its system's hardware. But come July 2020, when the law goes into effect, Apple will be forced to quit the country and a market estimated at $3 billion unless it complies. This piece of legislation, along with a controversial law aimed at the construction of a "sovereign internet," is the latest step in Vladimir Putin's ongoing encroachment into digital space—and has brought Apple into direct conflict with the autocratic Russian president. Apple declined to comment on what it plans to do.
Apple Takes a (Cautious) Stand Against Opening a Killer's iPhones
BY JACK NICAS / KATIE BENNER THE NEW YORK TIMES Apple is privately preparing for a legal fight with the Justice Department to defend encryption on its iPhones while publicly trying to defuse the dispute, as the technology giant navigates an increasingly tricky line between its customers and the Trump administration. Timothy D. Cook, Apple's chief executive, has marshaled a handful of top advisers, while Attorney General William P. Barr has taken aim at the company and asked it to help penetrate two phones used by a gunman in a deadly shooting last month at a naval air station in Pensacola, Fla. Executives at Apple have been surprised by the case's quick escalation, said people familiar with the company who were not authorized to speak publicly. And there is frustration and skepticism among some on the Apple team working on the issue that the Justice Department hasn't spent enough time trying to get into the iPhones with third-party tools, said one person with knowledge of the matter. The situation has become a sudden crisis at Apple that pits Mr. Cook's longstanding commitment to protecting people's privacy against accusations from the United States government that it is putting the public at risk.
Federal Court issues first ever order to block piracy website
BY DAVID FRIEND CBC NEWS A federal court is ordering Canada's internet service providers to block websites for a company selling pirated television online, deeming that such a move wouldn't infringe on freedom of expression or net neutrality. The decision, issued Friday, affects Gold TV, an IPTV service that offers thousands of traditional TV channels for a nominal fee, streaming over internet networks. It's the first time a nationwide blocking order has been made in Canada, setting a precedent that critics say could have broader consequences. Earlier this year, a coalition of Canadian telecommunications companies and ISPs — Bell Media, Groupe TVA and Rogers Media — filed a complaint in a federal court saying GoldTV.ca was selling subscriptions to numerous channels without owning the rights. GoldTV.ca billed itself as "Canada's premium IPTV provider" offering 4,000 live TV channels in standard and high definition for as little as $15 per month.

Motherboard & VICE Are Building a Community Internet Network
BY JASON KOEBLER MOTHERBOARD The net neutrality battle has been exhausting; it has come at enormous cost in time, energy, attention, and money. Fundamentally, the net neutrality fight is one where the best possible outcome is preserving the status quo: an internet landscape and connection infrastructure that is dominated by big telecom monopolies. Simply put, the internet is too important to rely on politicians and massive corporations to protect it. In order to preserve net neutrality and the free and open internet, we must end our reliance on monopolistic corporations and build something fundamentally different: internet infrastructure that is locally owned and operated and is dedicated to serving the people who connect to it. The good news is a better internet infrastructure is possible: Small communities, nonprofits, and startup companies around the United States have built networks that rival those built by big companies. Because these networks are built to serve their communities rather than their owners, they are privacy-focused and respect net neutrality ideals.

Americans' Liberty Matters More than Washington's Credibility
American Security Project
August Cole
Doug Bandow
By Doug Bandow, Senior Fellow, Cato Institute | 11/05/13
For two weeks most Americans didn't notice that the federal government had closed. Other nations complained that the shutdown undercut America's position as a great power, but Americans must debate fundamental issues despite the criticism of foreign governments.
Some analysts warned that the partisan budget deadlock would ruin America's international reputation. For instance, Sina Toossi of Foreign Policy in Focus argued: "It is clear that politicking in Washington is reaching the point where consequential damage is being done to the broader and longer term national interests of the United States."
Secretary of State John Kerry joined the America-bashing. He warned that if the partial shutdown was "prolonged or repeated," people might question America's ability to "stay the course." Indeed, other states might wonder if America can "be counted on," whether "the Congress [will] come through" and a presidential agreement "will be held."
The shutdown may have been a foolish tactic doomed to failure, but such hand-wringing was silly. For all of the drang und sturm in Washington, people elsewhere barely noticed. American politicians looked stupid, but that's nothing new. International policies, treaties, and alliances remained unchanged.
Even more important, nothing changed outside of government. The U.S. economy remained the world's largest and most productive. U.S. culture continued to hold sway most everywhere people travel and electromagnetic waves reach.
President Obama did cancel plans to participate in two Asian conferences and visit four Asian countries. Aleksius Jemadu of Indonesia's Pelita Harapan University opined that the "Obama administration has to convince again partners in Asia that the United States is really serious about the plan to focus on Asia." Shihoko Goto of the Woodrow Wilson International Center similarly contended that even a friend like Japan is "beginning to regard Washington's political impasse as the beginning of the end of U.S. influence in the region."
These hyperbolic fulminations ignored the fact that nothing in Asia had changed. U.S. military forces continued to provide what amounts to defense welfare to prosperous and populous allies throughout the Asia-Pacific. (Unfortunately!)
Of course, the president missed some meetings. But most of the work at international gatherings is done by staff, and none of the president's planned trips were particularly important.
The Secretaries of State and Commerce—officials more influential than the heads of state and government of most other nations—attended the APEC gathering.
Moreover, political leaders the world over routinely forgo foreign travel in response to domestic political crises. A onetime cancellation does not portend President Obama's refusal to board a foreign-bound plane for the rest of his term.
Still, Secretary Kerry was worried. He argued that America is the "indispensable power." Indeed, "The question no longer is whether our politics stops at the water's edge, but whether our politics stops us from providing the leadership that the world needs."
Yet a world so utterly dependent on the U.S. is not good for the U.S., let alone the rest of the world. In fact, American and foreign leaders alike hype Washington's importance.
U.S. officials enjoy their supposed indispensability and bask in lavish attention accorded by other states. Foreign governments enjoy foisting their most difficult problems on America while benefiting from all manner of financial and military subsidies. Massaging the ego of a succession of U.S. presidents and other officials is a small price to pay.
American Security Project's August Cole complained that "America is losing its ability to lead globally on the strength of its actions and ideas, to support a vibrant free-market system, to nurture a responsive democratic political system and to uphold a social contract that honors economic and social progress." The damage from the last month "will take the better part of the next decade to repair," he argued.
However, it's hard to believe that one temporary partial government shutdown will besmirch America's reputation for years—so long as America retains a vibrant free-market system and responsive democratic system. In fact, they are under serious threat, but not from the recent political battle. The danger comes from ever more expansive government.
For instance, Washington's take over of American health care is bending the cost curve up. By inflating health insurance expenses government is threatening economic growth and job creation. By raising government costs the Obama program is weakening federal finances. Finally, by imposing unpopular legislation amid a cascade of lies—such as that everyone could keep their own insurance if they wanted—the administration is undercutting American democracy.
While the shutdown was counterproductive, only political vigilance and concerted action can preserve a vibrant market economy and responsive political democracy. That battle must be fought even if other nations look askance at the result. What others think matters far less than preserving liberty at home.

Dikalcijum fosfat (kalcijum monohidrogen fosfat) je dibazični kalcijum fosfat. On se obično nalazi kao dihidrat, sa hemijskom formulom -{CaHPO4 • 2H2O}-, ali se može termički konvertovati u anhidratnu formu. On je praktično nerastvoran u vodi, i.e. 0.02 -{g / 100 mL}- na 25 °-{C}-. On sadrži oko 29.5 procenata kalcijuma u anhidratnoj formi.

Priprema
Dikalcijum fosfat se može formirati reakcijom stehiometrijskih količina kalcijum oksida i fosforne kiselina:
-{CaCO3 + H3PO4 → CaHPO4 + H2O + CO2}-

Upotreba
Dikalcijum fosfat se uglavnom koristi kao prehrambeni suplement u pripremi cerealija, hrane za pse, obogaćenog brašna, i testenina. On se takođe koristi u pripremi tableta, kao i nekih proizvoda za eliminisanja telesnog zadaha. On se koristi u hrani za živinu. On se isto tako koristi u nekim pastama za zube kao sredstvo za sprečavanje kamenca.

Why people have a right to criticize CD PROJEKT RED?
Thilanka_Vithanage
First of all, hat off to all the developers who worked their butts off to make this game that I enjoyed. But I decided to post this because of my recent encounters with other people in social media about Cyberpunk 2077. Cyberpunk is getting criticized by many people for issues & some of them are really unfair. It's normal when something got immensely popular, it's gonna get some unearned hate. However I also realized that whenever I post some criticism about the game in a Facebook group or a forum, I get attacked by passionate fans. They have this attitude of the game being absolutely perfect despite it's clear issues. I think that valid criticism is needed for any company to improve.
Personally, I consider Witcher 3 as the best game I've played. I bought all Witcher games including DLCs. Preordered Cyberpunk day one. I forced all of my friends to buy Witcher 3 & they really enjoyed it. So, I'm not a guy who post clickbait posts just for attention.
Even though I love CDPR for what they did earlier, I can't refrain from criticizing CDPR right now. Vocalizing these concerns will lead to a better future.
These are the reasons why we should criticize both CDPR & Cyberpunk.
1) Why we should criticize CDPR?
*Since 2018, they overhyped the game. I remember them saying that Cyberpunk has the most engaging & detailed open world in any video game. (48 minute demo) In the actual game, open world is nothing like that. It looks good & even impressive in scale. However NPC interactions, physics, police, water effects, AI & random incidents are so bad to the point of a mid 2000s game. At some point of the development they should have known what they are making. Even though I'm a medical student with no idea of game making, I'm pretty sure that you can't implement those in final stages of polishing.
*In the trailers, they showed engaging in side activities with Jackie as it's just another feature but in the game it turned out to be a cutscene.
*How many times CDPR said that the game gonna be absolutely polished at release?
*They didn't show any footage of base consoles & no review codes of consoles.
*Minimum & Recommended System Requirements are not enough to run the game with promised settings.
*Recently people uncovered files that confirm Judy was also supposed to be a male romance option. CDPR's reply to that was a bad lie even more than the "Surprise mechanics" lady. It actually disrespects gamers' intelligence level because those kinda responses make gamers look like idiots that believe anything big corporations say.
* They reduced the game length because most people didn't finish Witcher 3? What kinda test audiences they use? Which Witcher 3 fan screamed to make Cyberpunk a shorter experience?
This feels like an excuse to justify the cut content which would have made the game longer.
* CDPR also getting into mobile gaming business which was never a good thing.
* They also getting into microtransactions business in PC & consoles with Cyberpunk multiplayer.
2) Why we should criticize Cyberpunk 2077?
* Bugs & Glitches. Game never should have released like this. Bringing Fallout New Vegas arguments doesn't change the fact that this game was broken for many people. Also the industry came a long way since New Vegas.
*Significantly shorter than Witcher 3 even though at the time of my preorder they said "Don't expect anything less than Witcher 3's main quests and side quests".
*Gigs, NCPD activities & Rides feel like filler even though they said "No fetch quests". Also the quality of side stuff is significantly less than main quest & secondary quests. Witcher 3's main quests, secondary quests & witcher contracts had similar quality.
* Subpar physics, AI & console performance as mentioned earlier.
*Cut content that is obvious in every corner.
* Game brushes off themes of Cyberpunk only superficially.
*Most of the side stories are in data shards. I read everything in all games that I play. Good reading materials should be supplementary to the story, specially in a 2020 AAA game.
* If you like romance in video games and a heterosexual male, amount of romance options are significantly less than Witcher 3. This is less comparing to other AAA RPGs like Dragon Age, even though those games also respect people who are not heterosexual males. After all, this game is advertised as a game with so many choices.
These are reasons that I think people have a right to criticize CDPR without getting attacked by passionate fans. All of us bought the game with our hard earned money. If you don't agree with me, you are absolutely free to criticize me.

The horse is dead and beaten at this point. Either they fix it or not, doesn't matter since they've sold millions of copies and made hundreds of millions in profit. A grand success!
All this will be forgotten when the next Witcher or Cyberpunk is announced and people fall over themselves to pre-order. Same as with Bethesda. The internet had an annurism over a ES6 teaser, even after the mediocre Fallout 4 and abysmal Fallout 76.

Fair evaluation should be encouraged on any game. I think you will find people are quick to jump in and defend the game due to the absolute hate that some are spewing. Its quite appalling how some gamers have came across in their dislike for the game.

Agree. If everything subject to change, that shouldn't be a part of the promotional material of the actual game.

As I said, if something becomes so popular, it's gonna get unfair hate.

I agree. Criticism is not necessarily a bad thing, as long as it is constructive and not just out of pure hatred.
What i would like to add to your list is that characters were just abandoned (killed) after 2/3 missions, giving us no time to get used to them. I mean i guess you could say its cut content, but i just wanted to clarify it a bit.

I'm all for criticisms.
How those criticisms are brought up is where I have issue.
Often on the threads there is some passionate but hearty debate that is blurred when extreme angles feel the need to jump in and tell others they're outright wrong. This happens on both love / hate sides of course.
Too many voices smashing into each other missing context that might go back pages of threads and firing everyone up more.

Yeah, it's so baffling because Witcher did an amazing job with characters. Specially Bloody Baron questline.
Don't know why CDPR did something like this with Cyberpunk. They even had a bigger budget & a crew than Witcher 3 days.

Probably Management who just wanted to push out the game. (so because of money) But we can only guess, since we will never know without official statement.

Entitlement thing is something that confuse me. In my country (Sri Lanka), we believe that we have a right to criticize what we buy. I don't know about other countries.
Also CDPR said to wait for reviews, if people don't wanna preorder. Problem was that CDPR only gave review copies for PC. Reviewers gave high scores thinking that,
*Console versions are also ready.
*Most technical issues will go away with day one patch.

The way i see it. I 've been a huge fan of CDPR and the Witcher series since around 2009.
I thought the first Witcher with all its shortcomings was a very good, very original game. Heads and shoulders above Oblivion which was released the same year pretty much, and CDPR at the time, had a tine fraction of the budget compared to Bethesda.
Then came The WItcher 2 which i thought was AMAZING. I was already a huge fan of Demon Souls and the new Dark Souls, and TW2 was a hardcore game that took heavy inspiration from Demon Souls in terms of combat. Sure it was not nearly as precise or responsive but it was a good effort for a western ARPG at the time (notably the combat in these kind of games suck. Think Skyrim). In addition to the decent combat, the choice and consequence system was the best i had seen in a game (far surpassing Mass Effect for me), the characters were amazing, the writing top notch and the graphics pushed the boundaries for the RPG genre. Short game, but a true gem.
On top of that there was that hidden message that CDPR thanked all the PC gamers, and declared how they are proud PC developers, taking a stance as flag bears of ethical game developing and prioritising PC gaming which thought to be dead.
And then started the downfall - in my eyes at least. Promises that seemed impossible to fulfill. Remember the whole downgrade fiasco. Still to this day that VGX trailer looks better than even Cyberpunk. And some of the top guys over there seemed to have a priority to become the next Rockstar and make tons of money rather than focusing on making top quality, I remember one of the CEOs, saying that the game is equally good on all platforms and he personally would play it on the Xbox. To me that seemed like a betrayal, having in mind the secret message in TW2. Then they talked about production costs. They said something as 20 million for development, 40 million marketing.....Rockstar way. Not good.
And then came the game... And it was great BUT..... The path to commercialization was obvious. The hardcore roots of the game were completely gone. I expected combat polished and responsive like the Souls titles. Geralt was very unresponsive and the combat was far closed to Batman. A clear move to appeal to a broader audience. Also, i did not like parts of the main quest, having also read the books, i thought the wild hunt was wildly misrepresented. Anyway. The game overall, even though failed to fulfill all the promises was VERY VERY VERY good.
But one of the top guys had something to say like this (paraphrasing): Some people might think is the best thing ever but it didn't break any records..... Ok, you have created one of the most critically acclaimed games of all time, AND one of the best selling games of all time, and you seem displeased because it didn't sell as much as GTA V and you have not become the next George Soros. The greed and the vanity there seemed fot eh charts. That's how this comment sounded to me and my skepticism grew further. In addition to this we had all the controversies with the mandatory crunch to workers which is still an issue.
And then came Cyberpunk.... At this point they probably spent 10 times the development costs to PR and marketing, making it the most hyped game of all time -save for Half Life 3. And what happened? The game UNDERDELIVERED on EVERY SINGLE ASPECT. Even if you complete ignore bugs and technical issues, the game simply is not that good.
The main quest is very small. Side quests are not nearly as good as in The Witcher games. The writing is good but still not nearly as good as their previous works. The gameplay is mediocre at best, or even bad in certain aspects (notably melee, which is crap on FPP). Side quests are not that mane. Gigs are boring and repetitive, nothing like witcher contracts where you had to deal with unique monsters. The world is DEAD. It feels like a huge counter strike map occupied with vegan zombies. There is NOTHING to do when you finish the scripted content, which is not much by any means for an open world game.
And with all these i do not even mention the unfulfilled promises and the flat out lying during promotions. My trust in CDPR is shaken. For me this game cannot be saved even with bug fixes. They have to try REALLY hard in their next release, and REALLY focus on the quality of the product, rather than marketing, hyping and commersialism to regain my trust.
That's just an opinion of a former HARDCORE CDPR fan.

*Most technical issues will go away with day one.
I wonder how much local consumer law affects people with how they engage with company, and the product they've bought.
We have solid laws here that you can pretty much take anything back and be like "This didn't do what it said it was" and you can get a refund pretty easy. Even Steam has some different laws here to make refunds easier. So if something is borked, you get your refund, the product usually gets recalled or taken off the market anyway.
If I was in a place where that wasn't an option and something didn't do what was said - I'd be pretty damn pissed.
Execs don't make mistakes. Just ask them.
To many of them get bonsues and they're protected no matter how much they stuff up and they just move around between companies, it's all pretty damn atrocious and parasitical.

I gave them money for a product they misled me about.
And now they are ghosting me and refuse to refund me my money.
The game is an utter disaster on every level other than may be writing but thats more of a subjective point.
Witcher 3 innovated the rpg genre. CP2077 does nothing new and does less really compared to their competition.
This game is not the deep rpg they promised, its barely an rpg. Even the writing cannot be fully enjoyed because many story threads and characters just... end.
You also have a 6 month montage instead of actual gameplay and the life paths literally don't matter because they serve to nothing more than a 10 minute intro quest. All in all.
An epic failure on every level.

I remember buying The Witcher at launch having heard little about it prior to its release. I remember thinking that it was a diamond in the rough but that there was absolutely a great game in there somewhere and indications of a great game developer. I went to bat for the game and also tried to encourage as many people as I could to give this then small developer a chance, that they almost certainly would not regret it. I remember Assassins of Kings coming out and noting the masive improvements to polish and cohesion while noting the downgrading of Witcher combat and the cleaning up of themes that made it less gritty and less mature. [...]
[...] I guess all things are subject to change. No man can step into the same river twice. But a fool might drown themselves in one.
Seller also entitled to change their products, everyone is entitled. Not just consumers, that's why they have TOS. To protect themselves from consumers. That's how the world is.
That is on the player itself to fall for that, you guys get hyped for everything even after what happened to Bethesda, EA, Bioware etc.
I installed this game after patch 1.04, because I expect it would be a rough launches based on the Witcher 3 history. But it's way more rough that I've expected...

I don't think to "criticize" itself is bad if you look at my posts I have criticized the game and the company both in a time what I don't like a individual not as someone "defending anything" is the way that some member of the community have "overexaggerated" and some have literally said " the whole community is mad"
I don't personally agree with any of the
"entitlement posts"
"not what was promised"
" false advertising"
"multiple features "
"scam thread"
In every single one of the " rants " above I personally believe ( regardless of how relevant someone thinks the "false advertising laws apply in their country) if you fall for hype / pre order or literally buy anytime before the first 3 or 4 days after release before any of the "reactions" come out you only have yourself to blame
If those topic were so important to someone and they would have seen all those things after the launch for example say December 15th and disagreed with what they saw they would have simply not bought the game .
In which case there is nothing above to rant about .
Last gen Console players were able to get blanket refund if they wanted them. If someone didn't like the game or it didn't work for them they could get a refund and move on .
Again you have your refund so no reason to fill the forum with the above types of "criticism"
To prevent this form a happening again I suggest this . This would protect people and company from "themselves" as example above and again none ofthe issue I stated above would have happened.
MAXXVOLTAGE said:
Personally If I was them I would NEVER share as much about upcoming titles like they have with cp EVER again.
based on a segment of some members of the communities reaction that is being displayed. I personally think is overreactive.
It was a mistake as you can see by the way people have reacted to missing content. Its fine saying working on this title and that title we will share more with you once we have set a firm release date .
And then don't say ANYTHING about the game until you are sure of the release date and content. ( ideally just before it goes gold)
really if they had done that all the "missing" thread would not exist because people who never know what is "missing"
and there would not be anything "misleading" as everything advertised would be in the game if they didn't start advertising till close to gold.
Also these reposts
Honestly I think a lot of the "rage" is an overaction.
Game overall
I also think people complain about companies having "greed" in general is overused to almost a meme compared to the way the community has acted in general. As you see below in no way do I think this game did not have its flaws but also don't think it deserves the amount of rage it is getting from some people.
8 million presales + player meticritic rating (pc)
7.1 Mixed or average reviews based on 21233 Ratings
Shows the game was not the "disastrous embarrassment hat will kill CDPR reputation" that some on the forum make it out to be. Personally I would give it a
6.5 myself just average major flaws and disappointments but overall satisfied and feel got my moneys worth . It nothing that will enter the hall of fame but really its not worth all rage It is what it is and honestly just need to move open and wait for the "next big thing" W3 was a remarkable game ( rating of 9 in my books) but I don't think its reasonable to expect that level of success every time when there dev teams are not consistent with the team that made W3 I also think focusing on old technology is one of the reasons that caused this down fall.
Also from my personal observations Although it does happen in north America to a certain extent It seems that in the Non-North America side of the world some people like to champion the "Karen" aspect of "consumer rights" to a absurd extreme and expect everything to turn out to be a 10/10 game. (W3 has a 9.4 user score) when in reality not everything comes out perfect or as planned.
Again with the "hype" and "missing features" rant so what?
If the dev's had not said a thing there would still be a subset of people who would be complaining.
So the game has a 83 /72 metcritic rating instead of 93/94 like W3 that's not a HUGE gap.
Also in my view to quote myself i
"Also from my personal observations Although it does happen in north America to a certain extent It seems that in the Non-North America side of the world some people like to champion the "Karen" aspect of "consumer rights" to a absurd extreme and expect everything to turn out to be a 10/10 game. (W3 has a 9.4 user score) when in reality not everything comes out perfect or as planned."
This nothing to do with "defending" anything.
Its a $60 videogame not the end of the world so its not a 10 I personally gave it 6.5 so it didn't come out as planned I and others that have posted still fun it enjoyable and worth the $60
The people saying "the community got scammed" is not correct in this case as that is a subjective statement
I personally did not get scammed.
as for last gen console rage . You had ample time to get a refund and move on . If you got a refund there should be no console rage .

The group of dinosaurs known as sauropods includes the largest animal to ever live on land, according to Historical Biology. This month, UT Ph.D. graduate Adam Marsh and professor Timothy Rowe published a new description of fossils discovered by Rowe. The character of the fossils has aided researchers in understanding how sauropods came to be so big.
The fossils described in the paper belong to Sarahsaurus aurifontanalis. Rowe said he unearthed the bones in northern Arizona in 1997 and published his findings a few years later. The bones belong to the Navajo Nation, who own the land where the fossils were found, but were housed in UT's Vertebrate Paleontology Laboratory. The dinosaur was named after Sarah Butler, a philanthropist who has contributed to the University and to the City of Austin.
Rowe said he found two Sarahsaurus specimens in the same quarry, as well as a Dilophosaurus, a dinosaur made famous by the first Jurassic Park movie. This made sorting out the fossils a challenge.
"We spent two long seasons at this quarry trying to untangle these bones and wrap them in plastic jackets and carry them out of the Badlands back to our vehicles," Rowe said.
According to Marsh, who worked on this project for his master's degree at UT, Sarahsaurus was a member of a group of dinosaurs called sauropodomorphs. Sauropods would eventually comprise a subsection of this group.
Marsh said Sarahsaurus was the length of an SUV and would have stood a meter tall at the hip. Although not quite as big as later relatives, Marsh said that Sarahsaurus was larger than its sauropodomorph predecessors. This would lead to the evolution of creatures such as the Argentinosaurus, a sauropod that could weigh up to 120 tons. This is over 17 times the weight of an African Elephant, which according to National Geographic, can be as heavy as 7 tons.
Marsh added that larger dinosaurs characterized the shift from the late Triassic to the early Jurassic era, a transition that occurred 200 million years ago, according to National Geographic.
"When you look down into the Triassic, there are all of these tiny dinosaurs running around, and then when you get into the early Jurassic, you get larger dinosaurs like Sarahsaurus," Marsh said.
In addition to being larger, Marsh said the physical characteristics of Sarahsaurus could provide insight into how sauropods came to reach their formidable sizes.
"These early sauropodomorphs — like Sarahsaurus, the sauropod ancestors — are basically gaining these sauropod traits in a stepwise fashion throughout that lineage," Marsh said.
One such trait was longer neck vertebrae, Marsh said. This would lead to the additional neck vertebrae acquired by later sauropods. Another trait that developed was more robust femurs, or thighbones. Although Sarahsaurus likely walked on two legs, Marsh said their more robust femurs presaged four-legged sauropods like Brontosaurus.
Marsh said that by analyzing these characteristics, scientists can determine what traits that an organism such as Sarahsaurus share with other species and what traits are unique to them. Marsh said the particular Sarahsaurus specimens described in the paper lent themselves well to this work.
"Because (the Sarahsaurus fossil) is so complete, we actually have a lot of data to work with, which is very nice," Marsh said.

Like many of the clients who are referred to the HopeWorks ACT Program, Debbie came into the program during a time of great distress. After her and her ex-husband divorced, they had begun a long custody battle over their youngest son. Debbie did not handle this well; because her youngest son is, as she puts it, her whole world. With the assistance of the Albuquerque Police Department and a brief stay in a mental health hospital, she was placed on medications and accepted into the ACT Program.
The ACT Team has known Debbie for two years and has seen her struggle with. stability. It is hard for her to find respite due to the ongoing custody battle with her ex-husband. She has mentioned many times that, before her current crisis she was able to manage her Bipolar Disorder with minimal, if any medication and the tremendous support of her family. Debbie hopes to someday obtain that level of stability again. The so far road has not been easy. Debbie has had a few hospitalizations and has been incarcerated over the past couple of years. She has engaged in many counseling sessions with all members of the ACT team.
If anything can be said about Debbie, it is that she is a fighter. The ACT Team can truly say that Debbie has triumphed and is now, not only stable, she is stable without any medication and is looking forward to being discharged soon from the ACT program. She no longer needs their services. Debbie's increasing stability has allowed her to represent herself in court, fighting for custody over her son. The ACT Team states that Debbie is a joy to work with. They are confident that she will continue to press on with the skills she has learned and she will maintain the family support that she depends on.

An Interview with Shirley Trusty Corey, Arts Council of New Orleans

For more than 30 years, the Arts Council of New Orleans (ACNO) has worked with public and private sector partners to meet the arts and cultural needs of the New Orleans metropolitan area. In October 2006, ACNO President and CEO Shirley Trusty Corey talked with the NEA about the current state of the arts community in New Orleans and its plans for the future.
NEA: How would you describe the general state of ACNO a year after Hurricane Katrina?
SHIRLEY TRUSTY COREY: ACNO remains more passionately committed to supporting and rebuilding the cultural community than ever before. None of us take anything for granted; it is an opportunity to rebuild a greater New Orleans with the role of arts and culture more formally established in policy, procedure, and funding than it was before Katrina. Previously, the participation of the cultural community in funding and policy issues was not directly proportional to our impact on the city's economy. Katrina was a wake-up call.
NEA: Approximately how much of New Orleans's income was previously derived from arts and culture activities?
STC: Our 2001 economic impact study, conducted in partnership with Americans for the Arts, told us that the nonprofit arts industry generates more than $300 million in economic activity every year, with more than 10,000 full-time equivalent jobs.
NEA: Why is it important to rebuild the city's arts community, given the basic human needs still to be met?
STC: The city's arts community is an essential part of the comprehensive recovery that the city needs -- and wants. The recognition of the need to interact with one another as a community and at events that celebrate, engage, and speak to who we are -- whether it be through our writers, musicians, artists, or actors -- is stronger than ever.
NEA: How did ACNO use its $30,000 hurricane relief grant from the NEA?
STC: The initial NEA grant was used to stabilize our limited staffing in order to sustain the capacity of the agency to operate and serve the field.
NEA: This past August, ACNO convened a meeting of the city's arts and culture organizations with support from a second NEA grant.What were the goals of that meeting?
STC: The August forum provided an interactive opportunity for these organizations to collectively share their needs and to provide meaningful information to the Arts Council to help guide our strategic planning for the next 18 months. It provided a compass for responsive service and leadership. The forum also provided the opportunity to bring in resource planners from around the country who could help give us perspective in times of disaster and to open the door for recovery partnership projects.
It was important to move the discussion from comparisons of pre-storm staffing, audiences, and facilities to questions about the future. It was also imperative to recognize and prioritize the demands being made by the realities of housing, municipal services, employment, health issues, communications, and others. There are many more challenges in doing business after a disaster.
NEA: What are the key priorities of most New Orleans arts organizations over the next 18 months?
STC: Programming issues range from the challenges of adequate housing for artists to lack of venues and volunteers. We're looking at real change in the emphasis of our organizations, having to look at the most basic needs, having to work collaboratively on issues like marketing. Our audiences have changed; our venues have changed.
We also need to help people understand where the money is and isn't. It's a different funding world; we lost a lot of our corporate base. Even our long-term, most stable organizations have to adjust. For example, one of our museums has to raise $15 million over the next three years to make up its losses.
There's also a real need for ongoing sustainability coaching, strategic planning, and the opportunity to come together periodically as a group. We need to help people learn what the right questions are to ask, get them to ask themselves those questions, and decide if their mission is still valid in the current climate.
NEA: What were some of the outcomes of the forum?
STC: We reinforced the value of the New Orleans cultural community to the city.We created a framework for the Arts Council's strategic plan for the next 18 months and identified new resources to assist the actions planned.
We are also creating a cultural recovery brochure to provide an assertive voice for cultural recovery sector funding. Our board members will be able to use it in one-on-one and group meetings with the mayor, the city council, the city's economic groups, the Chamber of Commerce, and other change agents in the community. We also plan to distribute it to our constituents and at neighborhood meetings, libraries, and other public spaces.
Another key element of our plan is the completion of the Louisiana Artworks facility, which will provide greatly needed work space for artists and access to state of the art equipment in metal, glass, printmaking, and ceramics, a need that is even more urgent after the storms. It will provide for the increased expansion of artists' products, serve as a unique cultural tourism destination, and act as a hub for the community of new and returning artists.
