Apparently a ton of the tech bros are part of cults in SF that practice rationalism. Some offshoots of rationalism attempt to “jailbreak” the mind into psychopathy. They quite literally teach that psychopathy is a net benefit for the individual and they strive to become psychopathic as a tool for success.

I strongly support the notion that any federal assets sold off illegally by trump should be imminent domained.

They don’t want to compete. That’s not the point of any of this. They want to strip it for parts because Trump has rang the dinner bell for the vultures to feast on everything we have built in this country.

Trump utterly destroying the US’s economy may very well be the best thing for global warming. No one will be able to afford meat. It’s rice and beans for everyone!

The secret is get promoted to where you do the code reviews. Then just get too busy to do them reliably. Timebomb activated.

Amazon entirely dominated by white label products from Alibaba, though. Where are you going to find a WXTMO Potato Peeler for cheaper and with better service?

I just skip amazon entirely. The search really isn’t useful anymore.

10kWh is enough to run one 110VAC outlet at full capacity for about 10 hours. I don’t know where that 10kWh figure comes from but most American houses use between 15-30kWh per day.

So that 10 foot cube would need to be closer to 15ft cubed. It’s huge. Perhaps the foundation of the structure would work, as someone else mentioned.

Yeah, many of those christmas lights use pulse width modulation to control brightness and it is very noticeable. I hope that gets changed over for an analog voltage dimmer soon.

Wait… is this the USA’s first Gen III+ reactor?

Yeah that’s how I feel because I used uBlock to hide the icon

I’ve had a suspicion for a few years about this phenomenon. I know that simply recording audio and transmitting it for processing to serve ads is a violation of the federal wiretapping laws. I know they know it too.

So do they get around it by doing the processing locally on the device? So the phone effectively has tens of thousands of wake words that are trained for different things. “I want a big truck” -> phone parses that out “big” “truck” and sends those words up to google in a keyword dump. So technically it isnt wiretapping. Right?

Plus, it avoids the security researchers who use wireshark to monitor those devices. They are looking for audio streams, not a keyword dump that is encrypted and can be sent asynchronously at a later date in a much smaller file size.

Yeah it’s not like these companies that do shady/illegal shit to save money go out and hire the best PIs and exCIA ops to find people who shit talk them. They use google and type in their business name with an extra word or two about their bad actions to find people who shit talk them.

Yeah I’m just gonna have to take my old reddit strategy of rolling a new account once a month.

Aren’t the MSRP tags ordered by the store as a separate item to trick you into thinking the prices are legitimately that high?

JFC dude take a picture with your phone, erase the metadata, and submit it to your government. That’s so unbelievably wrong.

“That busted wheel bearing isn’t so bad.” -Rail inspector in Ohio

I think the question you meant to ask is “Why do cats claim many of us?”

I said the same thing. Then I test drove every EV I could get my hands on and had an appointment to buy the ID.4. Then I finally caved in and test drove a model 3 just to be sure I wasn’t making a mistake. I was making a mistake. The model 3 blew everything else away at a lower price (excluding the Bolt EUV which was just boring an uncomfortable but $10k cheaper). I bought the model 3. I hate Musk and I refuse to buy his overpriced memestock too. But the car is truly fantastic.

The user interface to display what is granted by using the app is… so sanitary. It disguises the ultimate goal of these insidious apps in such a clean and sterile list that it really seems innocuous. I wish that A$pple would start to display an intensity of how much data is collected by these apps. Green for good, red for bad, gradient for in-between. Or something… I suppose that accessibility for colorblind is important oto. Then it would be a bit more obvious to users when an app is really out to get them vs trying to improve performance.
