There’s stiff competition. Good for the consumer.

I disagree that this was the original purpose, but we heard the argument often enough from defenders of the 2A… and don’t hear anything now.

He’s making a great case against whatever business he’s in.

They have a law that “allows” Den Haag if an American is brought in front of the court there.

To make sure it can’t turn against the good guys, of course.

True, but there are ways to still communicate secretly, especially if you only need to organize locally.

I mean taxes and fees are a percentages as well, why would a minimum wage be a fixed amount. Changing circumstances, regionality and inflation are not new concepts for lawmakers. A fixed $25 is actually not a great idea, but I get it’s better than status quo.

It’s not a defense of the LLM. They are bad tools: LLMs can be unpredictable and if you hand them a nuke they may trigger it for whatever reason, even harmless and unrelated ones.

So don’t hand them a nuke, idiots.

I was kinda for it, but with the dangerous rise in quasi-nazi party AfD, I wonder what’s the point of banning a nazi flag… and it’s even more ridiculous that foreign ethno religious supremacists enjoy that level of protection.

Of course I’m not invested in individual transportation companies. Even less with the ones refusing to set on EVs.

With all the stops, cycling is usually faster unless the route is uphill or you really don’t have a lot of stops and probably need more.

The guy betting on this even ran in to try and make Trump dance by shooting the ground under his feet like they did in old Western movies, but that didn’t work out either.

Not mentioned in the article but Gemini is obviously developed by the DeepMind teams, among many other things.

I don’t think utopias are a bad idea in general, but if they somehow are only reachable by collapsing most of the current system before any groundwork can even be attempted… a form that can be developed in parallel and take over at some point makes much more sense.

Think about the transition and hopefully it doesn’t require nuclear war.

Check the rotations settings. It’s off by default.

I can still do this with my FP4 running e/OS. Just had to put a checkmark at 180° in the rotation settings.

No, it has to do with growth. An adult eye no longer grows significantly.

I think the difference was that before other countries would see themselves as allies and thus as part of the West. NATO is just one of many alliances that went beyond just pretending.

Now Trump threatened all of this. Take over Canada? Get back the Panama Canal? “Rescue” Greenland? Get out of NATO? Suddenly it becomes clear that it was a mistake to trust the US so much and that the same rules should count for them as anyone else.

Had a similar experience when SCUBA diving recently. New pressure gauges these days are digital and I still think the analog ones are not only prettier, but also functionally more convenient. You don’t need to be able to read numbers to know you’re getting into the red. Maybe they have some extra feature but I didn’t need it.

You don’t sell the same amount of product when you have to increase the price. You may need to shrink your business to not get the remaining margin getting eaten up by operational costs.

Dude, wtf is wrong with them?
