Yeah but having desperately poor states bordering wealthy ones would require lots of security. There will be lots of desperate, unhappy people with lots of guns and potentially no reciprocity. I worry it would just lead to modern day bleeding Kansas or an Amercan wide version of the Troubles.
Like they’re already trying to take over the federal government, what’s stopping them from trying to take over a neighboring state?
My main point against the idea is that they wouldn’t need to hide the fact it was happening. If it were possible with current tech there would already be some AI subscription bullshit that listens and takes notes on everything you do all day.
Honestly most people I saw outside of the hardcore tech sphere were excited about apple intelligence until it became clear what a shit show it was. I don’t see how it was supposed to be any less invasive than windows recall but it got a completely different reaction. You just need a good advertising/propoganda department and people will pay you for the privilege of being spied on.
I think it has to do with whether or not the battery has a current going through it while hot. I imagine heat probably makes the lithium more soluable in the electrolyte liquid, then the disolved material migrates with the current flow. Heating it without a current flow might allow it to redissolve and at least distribute it more evenly so it doesn’t make one long spike that shorts the battery.
I’ve used Tutanota for a long time with no issues.
Good ideas absolutely do die all the time even in open source. If the original dev doesn’t want to play nice, it’s actually pretty difficult to create a new fork that everyone will agree on. Hopefully these federated apps have enough inertia to prevent the userbase from splintering when the original devs move on.
The court documents do not make clear whether Maland was struck by one of Youngblut’s bullets or a shot fired by a fellow agent.
Fuck… so the women who survived was the only one who shot at the agents, she got two shots off, and the agent who died may have been killed by friendly fire. The driver, who was killed, was a german national with an expired visa, he had a gun and may have reached for it but didn’t actually fire any shots. What an absolute cluster fuck.
Because it’s just kind of lazy, everyone has access to LLMs now. If they wanted an AI answer they’d just use Google and click “expand” on whatever summary it sticks at the top of the search results.
People use social media to interact with other humans, and unless we explicitely ask, we don’t want to read through a wall of AI text.
Lol the airline industry has some pretty good terms, my personal favorite is “wet lease”.
Yup, I say it in every thread of this sort I see pop up, you definitionally can’t force organic engagement.
I get what you meant but what you’re proposing is just losing democracy all at once vs bit by bit. At least one option gives us more time to find a solution. This isn’t just a philosophical question for a lot of people, maybe it can be for you and that’s great, I’m glad you aren’t concerned about a Trump presidency.
I mean I’m not American so my plan is to watch either way
So you don’t really have a stake in this.
Y’all need a way to get the DNC back on track and you need it fast, because this is a version of the gambler’s ruin where instead of money you’re gambling democracy and, to make matters worse, lose democracy even if you win the bet.
No, you’re the one gambling democracy because Trump winning right now would guarantee an attack on all the institutions we have in place to try and maintain democracy in the US. If you’re confident those institutions will hold and be able to curtail Trumps plans to subvert democracy then sure, none of this matters. But if you aren’t confident in the US Supreme Court and Congress then it’s foolish to think Trump will just leave after 4 years if he wins this time.
What’s your plan when Trump wins this time? Why won’t that plan still work in 4 years if another Trump does surface? Unless you don’t have a plan and just want to rip the band aid off to get it over with. I don’t like how the DNC operates and we need to work to change it but if Trump gets elected with no plan in place to control him he will just wipe Gaza off the map and build a golf course where it used to be.
Not only caught on tape, he was found civilly liable for raping E. Jean Carrol.
Because you’re a pool?
It also pays artists a larger cut than spotify.
I think they kind of were honestly, the goobers didn’t even last two years before getting busted.
That’s what NASA is afraid of.
I still call it twitter.
Yeah I think they would have had to slow down or stop sales and make a big deal about reworking their production lines for better QC. Then come back a year or two later with actual improvements. I think Tesla probably have enough brand recognition that they can survive without Musk so hopefully they kick him out.
I think the US car industry as a whole is due for a major price adjustment, so I kind of see that as it’s own issue. Car prices need to be cut at least in half to make them practical as utility items. We’re being asked to drive vehicles that costs as much as a house did 30 years ago, and are approaching the same size, on the highway and leave them parked inches from each other.
