    1. "BEER" is a simple one-level platformer with an interesting concept: after some time a shadow of yourself appears and repeats every movement you've made. If the shadow catches you - it's a game over. With the passage of time, more shadows appear. Shadows will relentlessly chase you until they catch you. As much as I know, there is no victory: you will have to jump platforms and collect presents until you are caught. At one point, there are so many shadows, it's unavoidable to be touched by one of them. To delay this moment, you may move slowly, so it's easier to keep track of shadows. You may establish a specific route, so the shadows follow a predetermined pattern. Nevertheless, at one point there will be just too many shadows to avoid.

    1. “Until CR 1.0 there was no effective privacy standard or requirement for recording consent in a common format and providing people with a receipt they can reuse for data rights.  Individuals could not track their consents or monitor how their information was processed or know who to hold accountable in the event of a breach of their privacy,” said Colin Wallis, executive director, Kantara Initiative.  “CR 1.0 changes the game.  A consent receipt promises to put the power back into the hands of the individual and, together with its supporting API — the consent receipt generator — is an innovative mechanism for businesses to comply with upcoming GDPR requirements.  For the first time individuals and organizations will be able to maintain and manage permissions for personal data.”

The result is what I call a 4x4x4 deck where 64 playing cards each have a unique combination of these three parts.

This is not a new idea, but the current usage of the term “flipped” is generally associated with students engaging with materials online followed by in-class activities that involve peer learning or small-group work.
