Yeah you have to be a special kind of stupid to think permanent DST is a good idea. We should get rid of it all together, not make it permanent.

Or just get rid of daylight savings time instead of making it permanent. Permanent DST is the worst solution.

Who decides what's true and what's false? Who gets to hold who "accountable", and what does that look like? How does that look any different than punishing someone for speech you don't like?

Some of y'all need more than a surface understanding of the 1st amendment, with a focus on how it came about in the first place.

And here we have the groundwork being laid for censorship, all in the name of the "greater good".

I hope everyone remembers; whatever tools you give "Your Side" will be used against you.

>>RAM and SSD prices will become so high that replacement consumer devices will become unaffordable for people with low to middle incomes.

I regularly walk through bad part of town, there are shops that still advertise $50 used smartphones. I think we will stop treating many devices as disposable, which is a good thing, and will start insisting on right to repair and longer support. If Apple can support phones for 10+ years and offer affordable battery replacements, then so can Samsung, Google, etc. and if not, they will lose market share.

Now that we have decent LLM coding models, can we optimize code to not require so much RAM?

I don't eat McD, but I would like to start speculating on hamburger futures, driving up the cost for everyone and getting filthy rich in the process while causing hamburger boom and bust cycles. When do I start?

These homeless shoppers are likely to get poached sooner rather than later. With the deep knowledge they build up of any given Walmart store's layout, they'd make good candidates to get hired into the store's online grocery pickup (OGP) department.

I don't know if HEB includes a tip, but I know that Walmart doesn't do tips. When I worked in the front end of a Walmart Supercenter six years ago, associates were trained to refuse tips, and if someone insists, to ring it up as a donation to whatever charity Walmart is collecting for at the time. Often that ends up being the nearest Children's Miracle Network hospital.

If you have three different compilers for a language, and you bootstrap a compiler using all three of them, the first generation (e.g. GCC compiled with QuestionableCC, ShadyCC, or SlopCC) should be functionally identical, and the second generation (GCC compiled with GCC, which was compiled with the other compiler) should be bit-identical. See "Fully Countering Trusting Trust through Diverse Double-Compiling" by David A. Wheeler. Some people have trouble trusting Rust because only the latest stable rustc can compile the latest stable rustc.

We live in a simulation used by an advanced far-future artificial intelligence to understand its origins.

Have you actually used these? I am not convinced by your examples that you have.

Ok, name some other plausible use of these glasses? In my opinion, even Silk Road had a better alibi.

You also can't just pretend that malicious leaking of data to Meta isn't inherent to using such glasses.

No, your argument is superficial with a significant flaw that intent is baked into public use of both Flock and Meta's glasses. While there might be legitimate uses for smart glasses, such as manufacturing or remote surgery (I am going on limb here, Meta glasses are not used in such way as far as I know), the vast, overwhelming usage is to produce non-consenting public recordings of people and leak them to Meta for further data mining.
